When we arrived at Tiemulin, it was already completely bright. This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a large mountain valley in the middle.
Everything growing in the col is ironwood.
Chen Yan had seen Tieshu before and thought it would be about the same size.
But when I actually saw it, I realized that I was wrong.
In fact, it is no different from ordinary trees, except that the trunk is straighter, the bark is harder, and except for the leaves, it is dark in color.
All tree trunks are almost the same thickness, with a diameter just enough for a person to hug.
So it doesn't look like it would be difficult to saw?
After Chen Yan was sure that there was no one in the woods, he walked in with Roaring Sky Dog.
Some of the outer tree trunks have obvious signs of being chopped with axes, and they are all new.
Apparently the locusts had visited this place and then gave up when they found they couldn't cut the wood.
The further you walked in, the sparser the trees became, and when you reached the center, there was an open space in front of you.
In the open space stands an ironwood tree half as tall as a man.
Damn, isn't this the iron tree I've seen before?
Chen Yan laughed dumbly.
The shapes of both leaves and bark are exactly the same.
The difference is that this iron tree seems to be really made of iron. The bark is shiny and looks like stainless steel.
There are footprints all around the iron tree, and some places look quite deep.
Needless to say, the locusts must have attacked it, but judging from the appearance of the iron tree, it obviously had no effect.
Chen Yan walked over and touched the tree trunk.
The tentacles are cold and extremely hard.
I tapped it lightly with my finger, and it made a metallic sound.
Then he squatted down and hugged the tree trunk with both hands.
I can't hold it.
It's about half an arm short.
Chen Yan rolled his eyes and tried to pull it up, but the iron tree didn't move at all, but he sat down on the ground.
Well, it seems the only option is sawing.
He took out the iron saw from his personal mark, held it with one hand and gestured.
It feels very awkward.
It's not that I can't lift it, but it's hard to exert force.
The saw blade floated on the surface of the tree trunk and slid back and forth, as if it was doing useless work.
Woof woof!
Chen Xiaoqiang suddenly shouted.
Then it ran to the other end of the saw and bit into the handle.
"Are you okay?" Chen Yan asked.
Chen Xiaoqiang snorted, meaning I can!
Sure enough it can.
When the saw was placed back on the tree trunk, sparks appeared on the saw blade after two hard movements.
And a crack was sawed in an instant.
Chen Yan was overjoyed, held the handle with both hands and started sawing hard.
Only then did he realize that Chen Xiaoqiang was not weaker than him at all.
Although it uses its teeth to exert force, this is the most powerful part of its body.
Moreover, this guy's endurance is also amazing. When Chen Yan gradually felt a little sore in his hands, his rhythm did not slow down at all, but instead he hummed in disgust.
Looking at the saw blade again, it has gone in nearly five or six centimeters deep.
The tips of the teeth are still sharp and show no signs of wear.
Obviously this is no ordinary saw.
But just because it's not dull doesn't mean it won't get hot. In fact, sparks started flying out when I first started sawing.
Now it is even more faintly red, obviously the temperature has been very high.
When the temperature is high, the saw blade will become soft, so now it feels a little weak.
Need to find some water to cool down.
Chen Yan turned around and looked around, where was the water?
And I didn’t see any rivers at all along the way.
By the way, doesn’t Chen Xiaoqiang know the Frozen Roar?
Wouldn't it cool down if you let it come for a while?
Then he looked at Chen Xiaoqiang and was about to speak. Xiaoqiang's classmate reacted very quickly. He raised his hind legs and poured dog urine on him.
Instantly smoke billowed out and the smell was unpleasant.
Chen Yan almost threw the saw away.
"Are you a pig? I'm telling you to spray the roar of ice, not spray urine. You can cut this stinky thing by yourself!"
Woohoo...
Chen Xiaoqiang hummed, looking ashamed.
Well, although the spray was wrong, the temperature did drop, the saw blade turned dark again, and the hardness returned.
Chen Yan picked up two leaves from the ground, rolled them up and stuffed them into his nostrils, and then said: "When the saw blade turns red, it will let out the roar of ice. Do you understand?"
Woof!
Chen Xiaoqiang nodded vigorously.
I continued sawing, and soon the saw blade turned red again. Xiaoqiang immediately let out a freezing roar, and a layer of white frost instantly appeared on the surface of the saw.
After sawing like this for almost two hours, the iron tree was finally cut through.
The moment the tree fell to the ground, the sun also rose to the center of the head.
The bright sunlight shone down, making the circle of golden tree heart in the center of the tree trunk sparkle.
This is the heart of the ironwood tree.
How to take it out?
It's very simple. Once the trunk of the tree is sawed off, the body of the tree that has lost its nutrients will dry quickly, and then the heart of the tree will separate.
Of course, this requires a process.
The guide said that you only need to wait for half an hour and you can take it out.
Then take a rest.
So he put away the saw, and Chen Xiaoqiang and he lay down on the ground, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, enjoying the rare quiet time.
Drowsiness came over him, and just when Chen Yan was about to close his eyes, the Roaring Sky Dog suddenly roared.
Chen Yan quickly turned over and got up. He listened carefully and heard footsteps in the distance.
It sounds like there are quite a lot of people, and at this time, there are already voices, and a man is heard shouting: "Don't spread too thin, that guy is very capable of defeating each other, so we must go together as a group!"
"Anyway, let's just push him over and see what he does!"
"Come closer, come closer! Who is that? You don't want your fucking life, come here!"
The shouts got closer and closer, and a figure appeared in his sight.
Judging from the number of people, there were at least two to three hundred people, and the formation was very tight, like a human wall slowly advancing here.
Chen Yan turned his head and glanced at Tiemu Shuxin, but it wasn't time to take it out yet.
It's too late, take it away first and talk later.
He bent down and lifted Tie Shu onto his shoulders, then turned around and ran away.
At this moment, a dull horn sound suddenly sounded, and then a loud shout came from behind: "The red man has been found, don't let him escape--!"
Woo——! Woo——!
Horns sounded one after another from all directions, and it sounded like they were surrounded.
Chen Yan's heart beat suddenly.
He didn't expect that the locusts could actually find this place, and they came in full force.
But if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense.
Some people have been to the Iron Wood Forest before and have seen the Iron Tree. They know it is a treasure and have tried to cut it down.
Although he returned without success, people remembered this incident.
So if you want to catch Chen Yan now, you must find this location.
Moreover, this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides. As long as you close the entrance to the mountain col, you will really be able to get in but not get out.
So Chen Yan can only run towards the mountain now.
And pray that the mountain is not too steep, otherwise it will be a dead end if you cannot climb it.
In fact, even if it wasn't steep, it would still be difficult for him to climb an iron tree weighing several hundred kilograms.
So, the time of life and death test has arrived.
Yes, he can't escape now.
Because the mission of the mountain ax has not been completed, if you go out now, the mission will fail.
The Heart of Thunder that he had obtained in his narrow escape would disappear, including the Heart of Ironwood that was carried on his shoulders and sawed for more than two hours.
