The big golden tree was pulled away, and Shen Cong would certainly not let go of the investigation of this mysterious incident.
Immediately activate Donkey Kong and pursue the north along the 205 National Highway not far from the ten-meter-wide trace. The trace left behind twists and turns to the north, parallel to the 205 National Highway, and not far away, within the range of Shen Cong's Sky Eye Radar Within. Shen Cong chose to take the more convenient National Highway 205.
It probably starts from Chonggou Town on the map and winds all the way north.
Passed by Tanghe Town, passed by Bahu Town, passed by Tangtou Town, turned onto Provincial Highway 227, and continued north. Along the way, Shen Cong got off the car many times and went to observe the trace roads, and found several remnants of tree branches one after another. .They are all the same small yellow flowers as before.
It can be judged that there is indeed a large tree with super-four talents and completely metalized, being dragged to the north.
"I found no trace of the golden beast dragging along the way..." Shen Cong's doubts gradually came to an unimaginable answer as he pursued them along the way.
This time, in Gegou Town, Shen Cong discovered another small branch. This branch was broken into a small hole.
"There are no marks of cuts, no marks of gnawing, and no marks of tearing. This branch was broken. From the broken marks and the fact that it was broken into small holes, it can be inferred that these branches The small potholes are made by tree branches. The small potholes on this road are all made by tree branches."
"The drag mark in the middle is probably the main root of the big tree, and the surrounding area is the small holes made by the branches..."
Shen Cong's breathing was a little rapid. He found his guess unbelievable, but he thought it was not impossible: "Could it be that there was no golden beast dragging it? These marks were all made by the big golden tree by itself? It pulled it out by itself. Rising from the ground, dragging tree roots along the way, using branches as legs, moving?"
This conjecture, at first glance, is a complete joke.
Trees can walk on their own. Do you think this is watching "A Chinese Ghost Story", where the thousand-year-old tree spirit grandma appears?
Shen Cong does not believe in superstition, let alone the superstition in the movie. Even though it is a new world after the end of the world, everything is different from the old world. But there are still scientific laws within it, and the new civilization system brought about by activity still follows following the most basic rules of physics.
So a tree ran away on its own, and Shen Cong couldn't believe it.
But after denying this conjecture, looking back, Shen Cong couldn't shake it off. Activity can increase the IQ of mutated animals. Rats have turned into rat-men. Mechanical vines can draw people. Now one plant has super four talents. , why can’t the golden tree, which is so advanced in its evolutionary stage, walk on its own?
Substituting conjectures into the traces left by this drag, we can find that many signs that are difficult to explain have been explained.
"Is it really a golden tree that can walk on its own?"
Shen Cong picked up the branch and took off the drone again on the side of the road to observe the scene one kilometer away. His sky-eye radar only has a clear vision of 700 meters and a blurry vision of 1,400 meters. It cannot replace the unmanned aerial vehicle for the time being. The role of man and machine. An elevated drone can see blurry images up to ten kilometers away.
The drone slowly took off, and Shen Cong looked closely at the picture. As the angle of view increased, the visible picture became wider and wider, and correspondingly, it became smaller and smaller and blurred.
When the drone flew to an altitude of 200 meters, suddenly, a trace of incongruity appeared in the picture.
I saw that in the originally lush and dense forest, there seemed to be a tree that was not too tall and was moving slowly. The movement was very slow, and it was not clear on the green screen. If it were not for a residual trace behind it, It's hard to see that there's a tree moving there.
"It's the big golden tree!"
"The tree is really walking on its own!"
Shen Cong rubbed his eyes, asked the drone to zoom in on the screen, and dragged the moving tree to the center of the screen.
But the distance is still too far to see clearly.
Immediately, Shen Cong lowered the drone and took a look at the map on the center console. He was currently in the area of Gegou Town, and the moving tree was roughly located between Yangjiapo Town and Dazhuang Town. They were about 30 meters apart from each other. It’s about eight kilometers and you can chase it along Provincial Highway 227.
Provincial Highway 227 turns northeast in Yangjiapo Town, staggering from the direction of Dajinshu.
The nuclear map of King Kong restarted and chased towards the Great Golden Tree. About twenty minutes later, it had reached Yangjiapo Town. At this time, it was no longer possible to drive along the highway, as it would deviate from the location of the Great Golden Tree.
The dilapidated road is already full of potholes and it is difficult to drive, and the fragmented ground in the dense forest is difficult for even a powerful King Kong to navigate.
parking.
The drone took off again. This time, it was less than three kilometers away from the Golden Tree, and the footage was very clear.
It is indeed a big tree that can walk on its own.
The big tree is not the kind of straight and towering tree, but has branches that bend and hang down, like a willow tree. Shen Cong has seen this kind of tree many times along the highway in Jiangsu.
Of course, the tallest locust tree that Shen Cong saw was only fifty or sixty meters tall. This walking locust tree was at least one hundred and twenty meters tall.
The walking posture of the Sophora japonica is very awkward. You can vaguely see that its main tree roots are bent like a snake to support the body, while other roots are like claws supporting the ground to maintain balance.
Walking relies entirely on hanging branches, used as crutches or tentacles.
Climb forward slowly.
The movement is very stiff, and it still has not completely gotten rid of the inherent problems of plants. It cannot move as flexibly and quickly as animals. The speed is so slow that it takes ten minutes to cover less than a hundred meters.
Seeing this, Shen Cong was completely convinced that the Golden Tree could walk after evolving. His nerves were strong enough. He took two deep breaths and quickly accepted this impossible phenomenon. This was a new world that was temporarily new and could not be Constrain cognition with old world concepts.
After accepting it, Shen Cong immediately started analyzing it.
"It's less than 100 meters in ten minutes, 500 meters in an hour, and 12 kilometers in a day. From Chonggou Town to here, it's about fifty kilometers, and fifty kilometers requires more than four days of walking. That is to say , it should have started uprooting and walking just after it rained or before it rained.”
"Since this locust tree can walk, and it can walk so steadily and has a good sense of direction, why does it want to walk? Has it already developed... IQ?"
"If you can't analyze it, then we won't analyze it." Shen Cong parked the King Kong on the side of the road and rode on the four-legged dragon, "Xiao Si, let's go over and have a look!"
The Dragon Claw Sophora japonica is so slow, Shen Cong can use his speed to bully it without worrying about danger.
Of course, you also need to approach step by step. If the Dragon Claw Sophora suddenly goes berserk, the scene will definitely be very beautiful.
five minutes later.
The four-legged dragon followed the movement traces and chased it to a place less than 500 meters away from the Dragon Claw Sophora japonica. Here, you can already feel the pressure emanating from the Dragon Claw Sophora japonica, the pressure of the 4.112h talent. This pressure is not very clear, it is faint. The feeling was something I had never felt on the branches before.
Shen Cong looked at the huge dragon-clawed locust tree in front of him, his eyes shining: "Among the golden trees I have seen, only the old ginkgo tree has a talent of 2.016h, exceeding the pressure limit of 1.946h. However, the old ginkgo tree does not seem to have any pressure at all. , the pressure of Sophora japonica is also weak, it should be that the pressure of the plant itself is not obvious."
Coercion is a secondary concern. Shen Cong mainly wants to see what kind of condition this walking locust tree is in.
"Tree spirit? Dryad? Tree man?" (To be continued.)
