Aoki activated 100% of his body's power and continued to grow: the leaves and branches continued to reach higher and extended to all directions, and the roots also desperately took root underground.
In less than a month, Aoki's body has grown to 30cm tall, with an average crown diameter of 15cm. The roots have reached a staggering depth of 120cm, and have expanded to a diameter of 80cm.
Compared with the small trees next to it, the green tree grows very fast. At this time, it is already a head taller than them, savagely robbing the light of survival.
In this way, he kept eating, sleeping, sleeping and eating. Until one day, Aoki discovered that something else appeared in the jungle.
A dull sound of rumbling came from the lower reaches of the stream and continued to grow louder.
Small boat! 5 people!
There are people here? Live people?
Foreigners, and people carrying cameras, backpacks, daggers, etc.
Aoki was extremely pleasantly surprised, not because he was happy for their arrival, but because he finally confirmed that this was Earth.
Their appearance, clothing, and props all showed that this was the earth, and the age was about the same as before they died. Or simply, after they died, they were reborn directly on a sapling.
Fortunately, it wasn't some otherworldly, prehistoric, or future world, otherwise, I would have been confused again.
I really want to chat with them!
Although I am a tree, my soul inevitably still carries human thoughts, so I really want to communicate with them.
They drove a white boat upstream along a wide stream. One of the people on the boat kept pointing everywhere, and the camera kept looking at him. From the look of them, it seemed like a science exploration program.
Recording.
Seeing them paddling freely on the stream, Aoki was extremely envious. At this time, he hated his plant body very much.
"God, why don't you reborn me in a human body? Or in an animal body? I can't move now, why don't you suffocate me to death?!"
Watching the small boat gradually leave, the sound gradually became quieter, and the jungle returned to its original calm.
"No! There are other things! Oh my god! What did I see?!" Aoki was horrified. He actually saw a long >>>>>>>>>> shaped ripple on the water, but this
The thing didn't float to the surface, and Aoki couldn't see clearly what it was.
"Could it be a big anaconda? From the looks of it, the crocodile shouldn't be that long?" Aoki suddenly remembered the big pythons in "Anaconda 1" and "Anaconda 2" and felt extremely frightened.
At this time, he was still in the human mind, so he was very afraid of these pythons and crocodiles. He had no idea that he had turned into a tree, and those pythons and crocodiles were not interested in him at all.
"I don't know if this python will catch up with me. If it does, the group of people will be in danger."
After a long time, Aoki thought: "I am no longer a human being, what does it have to do with me?"
After calming down, he no longer paid attention to these human things and continued to develop and strengthen himself. But compared to before, Aoki had one more idea, which was the idea of freedom.
But for Aoki, who was reborn as a human being, freedom is really a very important thing. If he were just a tree, of course he would spend his whole life in a muddle-headed way without any concept of freedom.
It's like a healthy person suddenly becomes a quadriplegic vegetative one day, and can only lie in bed unable to move. The feeling of suffocation and boredom can easily make people suffocate to death.
In order to fulfill his wish, Aoki set his sights on his own "Light of Life" ability.
So he said: "Xiao Guangguang, please give me some functions such as mental power, thoughts, scanning and detection, etc. The master is in a hurry to use it!"
Aoki doesn't have any whimsical desire for the ability to walk. After all, it is still a plant in essence. How can it possibly walk?
Not long after he had this idea, Aoki was disturbed by a group of ants.
At this time, ants were crawling around Qingmu one by one, bustling and bustling, there were probably thousands of them. A long and winding procession, marching in several columns, not scattered, with black lines connecting from this point.
At that point, carry things back and forth.
However, there were also many unorganized and undisciplined ants crawling on Aoki's body and wandering around, making Aoki's body numb.
"I hate ants!"
Fortunately, their target was not Aoki, but a small cedar tree about 5 meters high 3 meters away from Aoki.
Aoki was idle and bored, staring at them. It can be easily seen that they are moving to build a nest, and the nesting location is located at the bifurcation of the branches in the middle of the cedar tree. It is estimated that the old nest has been destroyed.
Bar.
In the following days, the nest in the tree gradually grew, from nothing to the size of a fist, and then to the size of a basketball. Since then, they have settled here. And Aoki has one more neighbor, although Aoki doesn't like it.
These guys.
Often these ants would crawl around on Aoki's body, with their tentacles dangling everywhere, and then Aoki would use 502 strong glue to stick them, unable to move, and starving to death. But there were still many stupid ants who came after him.
Aoki kept coming and harassing her, making Aoki tire of it. When more than 20 ants were stuck to death, Aoki gave up.
There is a good saying: "I never try to defeat a fool, because he will bring my IQ to the same level as him, and then use his rich experience to defeat me."
Therefore, as a new generation of intelligent trees, there is no need to worry too much with an ant with unlimited intelligence, as that will only show that one has the same unlimited intelligence.
But what makes Aoki unhappy is, why didn't these damn ants come earlier? If he had come earlier, he wouldn't have to be tortured by those two bugs. Now that he has the means to deal with the bugs, he comes out to show off his power again.
What's going on? In short, Aoki doesn't like these neighbors at all.
In this way, two days later, Aoki heard human voices coming from the upper reaches of the stream. However, he did not hear the sound of the engine. Maybe the boat had been scrapped, or maybe it was not the previous group of people.
The sound gradually became louder, and after half an hour, Aoki finally saw these people. They were still the same group of people, and there were still 5 people. They looked quite embarrassed, and their clothes were soaked. Many of them were wet.
The people's clothes and faces were dirty. One of them seemed to have a foot problem and was being helped by the other two to walk. But generally speaking, they looked relatively relaxed and they should not have been in danger in the past few days.
, otherwise it would be impossible to remain so calm.
"Everyone, please stop. We'll spend the night here tonight. Before it gets dark, quickly set up camp and get some food." Seeing that it was almost night time, the team leader took another look at the surrounding terrain and gave this order.
The team leader is a man with more than ten years of experience in Amazon jungle exploration. This time he was invited by CBS to record a program about jungle survival knowledge.
Because he has rich experience, he will lead the team this time. The others are young people and were not convinced at first, but after these few days of arduous jungle trekking, they all began to admire him.
They had complete tools and a clear division of labor. Two of them used nets to catch some small fish in the stream, then collected some mushrooms, fungus and other ingredients nearby, and then picked some dry firewood to make a fire.
When they were preparing to light a fire and rest here, Aoki was a little worried about them. Because a few days ago, something suspected to be a large anaconda was seen here. If it really existed, then these people would be in danger.
But when these people did what they did next, Aoki began to realize that he was wrong.
The team leader and another person had already begun to build a bed for sleeping. They were seen waving machetes and slashing at the trunks of the trees with ruthless chops. Trees as thick as an arm were chopped down, and their branches and leaves were cut off to make beds.
Then not long after, the devil's hand was extended to the trees with wider leaves.
Seeing the familiar trees next to him being chopped down, Aoki felt angry for the first time since his rebirth.
"It turns out that I was wrong all along! I am no longer human, I have become a tree. I can no longer look at problems from a human perspective. Are you afraid that they will be eaten by a python? I feel childish just thinking about it."
At this time, Aoki finally felt that his heart had relaxed a lot, and he no longer had such human thoughts. At this time, the whole body of Aoki, a sapling, was also trembling, as if to welcome the complete integration of Aoki's soul.
