I Can’t Play This Game Anymore

The four people searched in front of the roots and rocks. Not to mention the way forward, there was not even a hole.

Eggplant asked while shining a flashlight:

"Song Qian, isn't that thing of yours broken? Is the divine pillar really directly below the front?"

Song Qian was also confused and said:

"Although our position is already very low, there should be no problem with this instrument. How come there is no way to move forward?"

Ji Han asked:

"Could it be that these growing roots are blocking the original hole?"

Eggplant nodded and said:

"Don't tell me, it's very possible. What should we do? Burn these ghosts with a fire?"

Ji Han shook his head and said:

"You saw it just now. The roots of the tree are full of white mucus. It won't burn. The key point is that I'm afraid that the fire will attract something."

At this time, Chen Ke pulled out two long black threads from his fingers and said:

"This is easy to handle. Leave it to me. I can put this slender camera in and use it with a mini light source to see if there is a cave inside."

Eggplant looked at the camera stretched out from Chen Ke's finger and said with an indescribable expression:

"Hey, Chen Ke, you are pretty good at this. Have you ever thought about using this ability to peek into other places?"

"ah?"

Ji Han interrupted:

"Don't listen to that old gangster's nonsense. Hurry up and see if there is any hole in this stone wall."

Ji Han, Song Qian and Eggplant helped Chen Ke push away the roots outside. Chen Ke stuck his head in, stretched out his arm and inserted the camera to check the situation inside.

Chen Ke probed half of his body into the root system, expecting him to move slightly inside, looking for an angle.

But I didn't expect to hear his muffled "Huh?" not long after I got in.

Eggplant asked while holding his cigarette butt in his mouth:

"What? Did you see the stripper?"

Ji Han didn't think Chen Ke was in any danger, so Song Qian also asked:

"Chen Ke, is it okay?"

"It's okay, wait a minute, you push me in again."

The three of them looked at each other, then pulled Chen Ke's body and continued to explore inside.

"OK OK!"

After Chen Ke stabilized his body, the three of them heard him making a sound of exertion, as if he was reaching for something.

After a pause of four or five seconds, Chen Ke's voice came again:

"Okay, pull me out quickly."

The three of them pulled Chen Ke out with force again. When Chen Ke came out, he collapsed on the ground with something black in his hand.

The large root system also covered the stone wall again as Chen Ke drilled out.

Seeing that Chen Ke was breathing well, Ji Han asked:

"Chen Ke, is there an entrance inside?"

Chen Ke shook his head and said:

"It's still a complete piece inside, without any holes, but I also discovered something. Look at this."

As he spoke, he put the image recorded by his finger camera into the screen. As the image on the screen gradually became clearer, Ji Han and the others also saw the true appearance of the stone wall within the root system.

The entire stone wall is not flat and smooth, but rather uneven and full of wrinkles.

At first Ji Han thought it was something carved on the stone wall, but when the camera zoomed in closer, he realized that the wrinkles looked so familiar.

"Is this...bark?"

Chen Ke nodded and handed over the black thing in his hand.

"It should be right, this is what I took off from above."

Ji Han took it in his hand and inspected it. Although he couldn't confirm what kind of tree it was, there was no doubt that it was a piece of bark that had been cut off.

Eggplant picked up the flashlight and turned around to shine a light on the entire "stone wall" covered with roots, and said with a look of disbelief:

"Grass, isn't it? You mean this is a big tree in front of us?"

Not to mention Qiezi and Song Qian didn't believe it, even Ji Han couldn't accept it.

There are no ends to the left and right of this "stone wall", and no curvature can be seen. If it is really a big tree, then the tree must be at least as high as a mountain.

Song Qian recalled the discussion just now and exclaimed:

"Isn't this really the legendary ginseng fruit tree in Zhen Yuanzi?"

Looking at the tree roots that were blocking the sky and the sun, Ji Han smiled bitterly and said:

"If that's true, then I can understand why ginseng fruit is so nutritious?"

Chen Ke said:

"I think this size is more like the World Tree in Norse mythology."

According to the scene in the pre-Qin nine-star mirror, the tree in front of him should have existed thousands of years ago, and judging from the white mucus that just flowed out of the root system, the tree seems to be still alive.

At this time, Ji Han and the other two people began to believe Chen Ke's previous speculation. Such a huge tree might really rely on sucking other mountains to support the people in the stone pillars in front of them.

Eggplant sighed:

"Don't care whether it is the World Tree or the Tree of Power. The key is how to get in? If there is a stone wall behind, I think I can try two shots. If it is a tree, I feel that there is no hope of the past."

Eggplant is right. If it is a stone wall, there is still the possibility of traps, but it is not easy to enter or pass through a living tree.

Song Qian asked:

"Maybe there is a tree hole up there or somewhere. Would you like me to climb up and have a look?"

At this time, Chen Ke suddenly turned around and asked:

"Brother Ji, do you know the story of Odin obtaining wisdom from the World Tree?"

Strong sacrifice reads sacrifice. Ji Han nodded and said:

At this time 1* Zhang Si. "Anyone who has read Norse mythology should know that in order to bring the fountain of wisdom into the world of the gods, Odin, the king of the gods, sacrificed his right eye and hung himself upside down on a tree for nine times without eating or drinking. Day and night, my body was pricked by branches and long hairs, and finally I gained the Runas writing and wisdom.”

After speaking, Ji Han still asked jokingly:

"Chen Ke, you don't want to blind one of my eyes and hang me on a tree for nine days, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ke waved his hands and said:

"No, no, how dare you? I was just wondering if there are any hints?"

"The reminder is enough. After all, this is not the World Tree."

Speaking of reminders, Ji Han suddenly remembered the Zhenyue Sword he was carrying.

Since this tree is also a living body, relevant information may also be obtained through Zhenyue Sword's Alien Eye skill.

Thinking of Ji Han, he turned around and pulled out the Zhenyue Sword, put the sword in front of the giant tree in front of him, and asked Song Qian, Chen Ke and Eggplant to help with the flashlight.

As the giant tree's shape entered the frame, Ji Han finally saw the information about the giant tree and the prompt from the Alien Eye.

Control the big one and control the owl. [Dizu Xunmu]

[Explanation: The legendary giant tree, Miaomiaoxunmu, grows by the river. Its branches are thousands of miles high, reaching up to the sky, hanging down to the four poles, and covering Yu Yuan below. 】

[Information obtained from the effect of the Alien Eye: This tree can absorb rocks, earth and wood, and remains in a dormant state all year round. 】

Only then did Ji Han remember that this thing was not the World Tree at all, but the legendary giant tree in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that he had read before.
