"It sounds like all the nutrients of this island are taken up by this tree." Caesar whispered.
"Every one of us who saw that tree was shocked. The tree was so lush that it could completely block out the sun. If there was a sun in the sky, I'm afraid no sunlight would be able to shine through the shade of the tree.
"The ground." Chu Tianjiao said, "Those leaves swayed slightly and made a rustling sound. Since entering the Nibelungs... No, since entering the Arctic Circle, this is the first time we have heard the sounds of plants. Very
It's beautiful and healing, as if everyone's soul has been cleansed."
When Chu Tianjiao said these words, some people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, but some people felt a sense of disobedience. Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo looked at each other, always feeling that there was something wrong with this content, but
I can't tell you exactly what I feel is inconsistent... On such a dangerous island, is there only such a big tree in the center that can make people relax?
After a while, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that Chu Tianjiao had said that those giant snakes were bleeding when they fled back from the center of the island to their lairs... That was what made those giant snakes injured and bleeding and fled in panic.
, where is it hidden?
"There should be no wind in this Nibelung, right?" Chu Zihang, who had been silent all this time, asked Chu Tianjiao coldly.
Nuonuo raised his head suddenly, and then Lu Mingfei's eyes widened. They thought, because of Chu Zihang's words, they finally realized where the strong sense of disobedience they felt came from.
.
When Chu Tianjiao first entered the Nibelungen, he once said that the water here was as calm as a smooth and flat mirror. When he described the other islands here, they also gave people a gray and pale feeling.
So is it windy here?
If there is no wind, why do the leaves of that big tree sway? Or even make a sound?
"No, there is no wind in this Nibelung. When I first entered here, I felt it was quiet. It was as quiet as a dead place." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said softly, "There is no wind or clouds here, and there is no sun.
and stars, but the sky here is always bright
, time seems to stand still and will not flow. Because of nervousness and fear, everyone who enters here ignores this point. We only know that this place feels very strange, but except for the places that can be seen with the naked eye, none of us can tell
Where is the strange place?"
"In an open space, the air cannot be stagnant." Chu Zihang said, "Human skin is actually very sensitive to airflow. According to the inference of Einstein's theory of relativity, if the space in this world is
If it is fixed, then its time is correspondingly static.”
"But no one realized this at the time, or there were too many weird things in that world, and we didn't think about it at all." Chu Tianjiao said, "I was the first to discover that leaves automatically move without wind.
Yes, when I looked at that tree, it was like looking at a huge monster."
"Do you know an animal like the anglerfish?" Chu Tianjiao suddenly said, "This kind of fish lives in the deep sea. It has a luminous dot on its head. When it senses prey, it uses that little bit of light.
and warm light to attract prey and make them relax their vigilance, because the dark seabed is too cold and dark. When those small fish approach for such a little warm light, little do they know that hidden in the darkness behind is a morning
It has a huge bloody mouth."
"Is that tree a trap?" Caesar asked.
"It's not about falling in, it's the danger itself!" Chu Tianjiao whispered, "When I realized this, I originally wanted to pull Sasha and quietly retreat, but the other crew members were already too close to the tree.
Now, I can't save everyone, and I have no obligation to put myself in danger for them. Just when I grabbed Sasha and moved away from that area, huge noises came from all directions."
"Are those snakes back again?" Shutoku Aki asked.
"No, it's a tree." Chu Tianjiao's face was a little complicated, "Behind us, there are thousands of trees. On their branches, the dense gray-white leaves are all trembling, as if there is a sudden blow from the ground.
There was a hurricane, but there was no wind at all, and all the trees were swaying without wind. Although this is a strange thing to say, it felt like a dead mummy suddenly came to life!"
"Those trees are alive!" Shutoku Aki blurted out this sentence and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what he said, so he quickly changed his words, "Those trees, they can move!"
"Yes, actually I should have discovered it earlier. Remember, I said before that when I first entered these islands, I always felt something strange on my body, like there were insects crawling around." Chu Tianjiao said, "At that moment I suddenly realized
What was that? I reached into my pocket and pulled out a few bush vines."
"I remember, you said you picked it up when the sailors were clearing the way ahead." Chu Zihang nodded and said, "You said the plants here are very unique in color and of unseen varieties, so you picked them up casually.
I have some specimens on me."
"Yes, those broken vines that should have died long ago were actually twisting crazily in my palms when they were taken out of my pocket!" Chu Tianjiao said, "Can you imagine the vines holding them in my hands?
A few twisting branches and gray-white vines, like a nest of crazy white silkworms!"
The girls in the room all showed chilling expressions at the same time.
"I threw those things - I don't know if I can call them plants - on the ground, and they really burrowed into the soil like silkworms. I looked at Sasha, and he was looking at the sky dancing.
plant, with an expression on his face that said, 'Is the world crazy, or am I crazy?'" Chu Tianjiao said, "I pulled Sasha and wanted to leave the island.
The center of the island, but the surrounding trees are too dense. They are like a group of well-trained soldiers, surrounding me from all directions. The huge tree in the center of the island is their leader, the island
The king of the world, its branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun, and if it were to act in earnest, no one would be able to leave here alive."
"What does this tree want to do?" Caesar asked Chu Tianjiao, "Does it turn you into nutrients for this island?"
"I thought so at first, so I released 'Time Zero'. I didn't know what this tree's ability was, and I didn't know how to kill such a huge thing. Does it have a head? Does it have a heart?
?I don’t even know what its weakness is!” Chu Tianjiao said, “The tree’s weakness is
Maybe it's insects and fire, but there is absolutely no insect in the world that can eat through this tree, and there is no fire that can burn it out. Even those giant snakes are extremely afraid of this king of the forest. If they can hurt those giant snakes,
If the snake guy gets serious, maybe I can only run away alone, and not even Sasha can be saved."
"Then I saw a scene that almost made me despair. A crew member was so frightened that he threw away everything he grabbed and turned around to run away. At the same time, a leaf fell from the biggest tree above his head." Chu
Tianjiao paused, "No, it would be more accurate to say 'shoot out' a leaf. I have never seen it before."
The leaves fell so quickly, like bullets from a sniper rifle. The leaf went straight through the back of the sailor's head and shot out from between his eyebrows. When it fell on the ground, it became curved and soft. Can you imagine, so thin, so
A soft object can kill a person as easily as a flying knife."
The expressions of everyone in the room changed. If one leaf can pose such a big threat, what about more leaves... They still remember that when Chu Tianjiao described the huge tree, he specifically emphasized its extremely lush branches and leaves.
, if all these leaves could be used as weapons, would it be equivalent to hundreds of machine guns firing indiscriminately?
No wonder those giant snakes were defeated in such an embarrassing manner. In front of such a terrifying monster, those snakes were as cute as loaches rolling in the fields.
"All the crew members did not dare to move, because they saw the tragic situation when their comrades died, and they did not even dare to think of revenge for their comrades. The enemy was such a terrifying monster, and fear had overtaken everyone's emotions." Chu
Tianjiao said, "I was gritting my teeth and struggling in my mind whether to give up Sasha and leave alone. In fact, Sasha was not that important to me. Although it seemed that I was very cold-blooded, I was telling the truth."
"But what makes it even more difficult for me to make a decision is that I'm not sure whether I can lift it out from under that huge tree even if I use the maximum release time of zero, because its pressure is too strong, and there is an entire island.
Monsters." Chu Tianjiao said, "The plants on this island are all alive. I'm not sure if they can eat people, but it is obvious that they can kill people. What's more, I haven't mastered 'Time Zero' at that time.
.”
"All the trees in the forest were dancing wildly. They seemed to be irritated, but I didn't know what irritated them. All the crew members stood still and didn't dare to move. For a moment, I was in a dilemma." Chu
Tianjiao said, "This state lasted for dozens of seconds, and I suddenly saw
When someone moved, he ran from my side towards the giant tree. I turned around and saw that it was Sasha. Oh my God, this guy is crazy. I scolded him crazily in my heart, but Sasha is really
He ran toward the giant tree as if he was possessed, and kept shouting."
"What did he say?" Chu Zihang asked.
"'Captain!', 'Vincent!', 'I saw the captain, he's right there, behind the tree!'... Sasha kept repeating these three sentences, pointing one hand in the direction behind the tree,
While running there, he insisted that he saw Vincent's shadow behind the tree." Chu Tianjiao said, "
I loudly told Sasha that he must have seen it wrong. I yelled at him, but I couldn't wake him up at all. The guy seemed to be possessed, and Vincent seemed to have taken away his soul.
, at this moment, I noticed another leaf falling from the giant tree, right above Sasha's head."
The hearts of everyone in the room were involuntarily suspended.
"I watched the leaf fall faster and faster, and finally landed like a spiral. When it was less than ten meters away from Sasha, I finally made up my mind, and I cursed hard in my mind.
, I really owe this guy, I will treat him as a favor this time, after all, he followed me into this Nishi.
Borungen." Chu Tianjiao said, "I rushed towards Sasha, and at the same time I released 'Time Zero'. Sasha was thrown to the ground by me, and the leaf crossed my left shoulder.
Cut the skin on my shoulder, damn, that thing is as sharp as a throwing knife, I doubt it could cut through Jean's bones."
"I grabbed Sasha by the collar and said, are you crazy? Do you think a guy like Vincent can survive on an island like this? You didn't even risk your life for that old guy because you wanted to go down with him.
Hell!" Chu Tianjiao said, "But Sasha is still very stubborn, he insists that he
I really saw Vincent's shadow, just behind the giant tree, flashing by. Although it was only a glimpse, he would never admit it. He had followed the captain for ten years and was the person he trusted most.
, the old guy turns ashes into ashes and puts them in a box. He knows how much they weigh."
"I subconsciously glanced in the direction of Sasha's finger, but I didn't find any figure at all. I thought I was crazy to believe that Sasha Vincent could really appear here alive. Not to mention the plants here, even
The giant snakes and ants on the outermost edge of the island can easily kill him." Chu Tianjiao said, "When I looked away, I really caught a glimpse of a shadow behind the giant tree, but it was not Vincent, but the shape
It does look a bit like the same person."
"What is it?" Nono asked subconsciously.
"I don't know. It was a human-shaped shadow. It looked quite small, but compared to the size of this giant tree, it could only be said to be small. I realized that there was really something behind the tree. Even if it wasn't Vincent, there was something there.
There may also be secrets about this island." Chu Tianjiao said, "To be honest,
I can definitely leave this island by myself, but Sasha and the crew will definitely die. The most important thing is that if I just leave like this, I will probably never be able to come back again in my life. I will have to live with you for the rest of my life.
This island, this secret of the Nibelungs was lost.”
"More importantly, even if I leave this island, I don't know how to escape from this Nibelungen. Maybe there is a rope bridge on this island to the next island, but the monsters on this island have already
It's so scary, are other islands really safer?" Chu Tianjiao said, "I still remember
In the painting "Island of Death", the white human figure on the island in the center, although I don't know what it is, I am sure that it is a more terrifying existence than this tree, even if I have faced it directly
Even if I don’t have the courage of a thing, I may not be destined to be able to walk in front of that thing.”
"I asked Sasha a question in a low voice, do you think the crew is more important or the captain is more important." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha was stunned and didn't seem to understand what I meant. I looked at those who were frightened.
