063 What a big tree

The closer to the giant tree, the little ghost feels its hugeness. When he walks into the shadow of the giant tree, it is like walking into an independent world. There is thin thatch on the ground, and there is no bush. The kid in the distance can see the unparalleled thick trunk of the giant tree, and his head is like a world with tangled branches and leaves. Except for some birds that occasionally fly by, there is not even a hare.

When he entered the range of the giant tree, the vine had completely disappeared. The kid ran over to the giant tree that Ritterner said with full of questions. Maybe the "leaf friend" who had never met would answer his questions.

The kid calculated that he had run a few miles to the foot of the giant tree. This huge tree trunk like a wall made the kid doubt how many years the big guy had lived here. The 200-year-old trees in the basin have grown into trunks held by three people, and the thickness of the trunk in front of them is estimated to take hundreds of people to hold it!

Looking up, there are huge branches growing horizontally on the thick trunk. The strangest thing is that these cross branches seem to have been trimmed. There are only two symmetrical branches on each plane and the whole giant tree is divided into many layers from the bottom to *. Looking carefully, the giant tree is like a giant tower surrounded by branches and leaves, layer by layers of horizontal The branches form a section of the tower, from large to small, and the giant trees gradually disappear into the clouds in the sky...

The rough bark on the trunk is like rough brown rocks, and some gaps will not feel narrow even if the kid stands in. The kid thought for a moment and began to climb up the tree. If he lived near here, he must live in the tree. The kid is actually curious about what he can see if he climbs up this giant tree.

When climbing the first horizontal branch, the kid thought he had climbed a mountain beam, and there was still thatched grass growing on the branches dozens of meters wide, which looked like a long grassland!

The kid sat on the grass and gasped for a long time. It only took him half a day to climb the cliff by the basin, but when he climbed to the first branch of the giant tree, he climbed from last night to dawn the next day!

He ate the last fruit in his pocket last night. If he hadn't found a lot of edible mushrooms in the cracks in the trunk, the kid wouldn't have climbed up so soon. There is no fruit plant on the trunk as long as the ground. Looking around to remove the fine thatch, there is nothing to eat.

The kid walked around the tree trunk boredly and followed several frightened grass chickens to find several grass chicken nests hidden in the thatched grass. A few round grass eggs in it naturally entered the kid's stomach. It turns out that there are still many creatures in this thatch, but most of them can fly.

After simply recovering his strength, the kid looked up at the trunk above, almost without hesitation, and he continued to climb up. The head of the flat trunk can be seen almost at a glance, and there is no trace of no one living on it. Ritterner will not lie to himself, so the kid believes that the helper she said must live on a higher tree.

Naturally, the kid living in the Ye clan will not feel anything wrong with living on trees, not to mention that the branches here are frighteningly wide without roots and can fully support a complex building.

In this way, it took the little ghost three days to climb to the sixth horizontal branch with the mushrooms on the trunk and the bird eggs that can be found occasionally found. As the height increases, the branches become thinner and thinner and the bark becomes more and more delicate. Not only is it more difficult to climb, but it can be found in the cracks. There are fewer and fewer straw mushrooms now.

Looking through the gap between the branches and leaves, the whole home forest is almost completely shrouded in the eyes like a flat dark green grassland. The faint blue at the extreme should be the end of the continent mentioned in the code, a world full of water.

When the little ghost struggled to climb to the eighth horizontal branch, there were only some narrow gaps in the trunk, in which there were no mushrooms at all, and the horizontal branches more than ten meters wide were bare bark, and there was almost no thatch, let alone find the grass chicken that made a nest in the thatch. The kid leaned against the tree trunk and didn't know whether to continue to go up or down. Without food to replenish his strength, he almost lost the confidence to go up again.

"Hmm, this kid knows how to be lazy!" Ritterner withdrew his hands pressed on the tree trunk. According to her inference, the kid should come up at least one or two to hesitate, but depending on the current situation, the kid has begun to retreat.

Ritterner picked up a green vine from the trunk and wrapped it around his waist, and then jumped from the branches that had crossed the clouds like a bungee!

Below is a vast sea of clouds. I don't know how high it is from the ground. If it can't fly, no creature in the world dares to jump down from such a high place, but Ritterner is obviously not the first time to do this. She gently twisted her waist in the air and turned it into a posture on her head and feet to hold it with both hands. The vine was slowly put down by the thin vine like a falling bird.

After passing through a thin cloud, Ritternaar slowly fell to the sixth horizontal branch where the kid was. For the kid, Ritterner, who fell from the sky, did not bring much surprise. If there was no green vine, Ritterner, a strange woman, would suddenly jump down and startled the kid. Since I saw him After the vines that can draw people, the little ghost began to consider whether there are creatures that can control plants in the world. Legend has it that only gods can manipulate various creatures and plants, but the code also records that magicians who can manipulate water, fire, thunder and lightning, so it is not impossible for a monster that can manipulate plants occasionally appear.

"Teacher!" Seeing Ritterner standing on the branch, the kid immediately ran to him and bowed his head to salute.

"You little fool!" Ritterner came up to the kid's head with a chestnut: "Why do you provoke those monkeys when you stay okay? Why didn't you get rid of them earlier?"

"Ah?! Teacher, you know..." The kid covered his head and asked in surprise, "I haven't seen you all the way. Why didn't those two big monkeys come out to help me? They almost killed me!"

Ritterner gently jumped to the little ghost's head and said, "You dead boy, get rid of those two little ones as soon as possible. How can you meet the big monkey? Look at you fighting all the way. If it hadn't been for the help of you, no one would have known if you died in the forest..."

The kid shook his head and still didn't get away from Ritterner's chestnut. He covered his head and said depressedly, "Those two monkeys are too cunning, fast, and black and fierce. I didn't try my best to get rid of them..." The kid in the forest is indeed He wanted to drive away the two annoying little monkeys, but the two monkeys actually chased and killed them all the way as if they had a revenge.

"These two broken monkeys can be done with a few drunken fruits or pepper fruits. Who taught you to use a few broken stones to beat them away?"

"Drunken fruit? Pepper fruit?" The kid looked at Ritterner in a blank way, and then asked bluntly, "What is that?"

"..." Ritterner looked at the little ghost's dull purple eyes and was speechless. Although the little ghost was her disciple, the shaking teacher did not teach the kid anything at all, and it was not clear how Gatelia taught him.

"Have you learned the general outline of herbs? Did Gatlia teach you?

As soon as the kid heard about herbs, he knew where he was wrong. Gatlia once said that he would teach him the herbalism of the Ye people, but the kid who had been obsessed with physical arts did not pay attention to it at that time, and this homework has been delayed. Teacher, I haven't come into contact with herbalism yet, but this time I will find Jiaya to make it up as soon as possible!"

"You boy, why do you only know how to exercise like an old steel head? You know, you are the god son of the Ye clan!" Ritterner looked at the dense giant tree and said, "Our Ye people are the jungle god of death who claims to have the three natural systems of jungle assassination, natural spells and herbalism! In those years, the herbs of the Ye clan also killed many powerful enemies! Oh, no, not only killed many enemies, but also saved many people! I remember that there were several super herbalists in the Ye team who followed Hestin the Great..."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Although Ritterner is eccentric and moody, he is a loyal Ye chauvinist. At this time, if the little ghost dares to refute or ask questions, she can praise the greatness of the Ye people for half a long time. The hungry kid can only deal with it in a low voice. In fact, what he wants most is that the teacher can give him some food, because it is too exhausting to keep climbing.
