There are countless irregular bird nests on the thick tree trunks, as well as some quite simple wooden houses.

These buildings are hidden among the broad leaves, appearing and disappearing.

Anran walked back and forth on the tree trunk, looking left and right, and found everything curious.

An Ran released her weapon, and the little peacock came out of her body and scratched its claws.

After arriving here, the air around it was filled with a very familiar scent.

"Qianyu, let's go and see if there are any of your people in the tribe."

I've been here for a while, but it's still quiet here, without any sound at all.

Logically speaking, if an outsider came in, there would always be a peacock or a person to check on the situation, so it wouldn't be so quiet.

They had been there for such a long time, but not only did they not see any peacocks, there was not even any movement in the cabin or the bird's nest.

One person and several pets started walking around on the big tree.

The trunk of the tree was so thick that a car could drive on it, and they walked on it as if it were flat ground.

It was simply that the area was so large that after half an hour of walking, they still hadn't walked through all the fallen tree trunks.

In fact, An Ran originally planned to fly up to check, but it seemed like there was some restriction here, and neither she nor the big white goose could fly.

Helpless, they could only keep moving forward. This was probably because they were not from the Peacock Clan, but outsiders.

Because peacocks can fly, there are no stairs leading to the previous tree trunk in their territory.

Even though they have a short flight distance, it is still possible to fly up.

After spending more than two hours quickly examining this branch, Anran planned to move on to the next one.

It was difficult to go up there.

An Ran tried to release the flying carpet and cloud island, but they were both pressed down by the tree trunk at her feet and she couldn't even fly.

It seems that to move to the next tree trunk, we have to climb up on foot.

An Ran had no choice but to climb. What else could she do?

The leaves of the light-scale tree are spindle-shaped, and the front is also covered with a layer of white scales, but not the back.

It is strange that this peacock is covered with feathers, but lives in a tree with scales.

The scales on the tree make it much easier to climb than the slippery trunk.

An Ran took out a rope to tie himself up, took out an axe, tried to create a foothold on the big tree, and then climbed up.

But when the axe was struck down, it broke directly, and the broken part was not the axe handle, but the axe blade.

The axe blade split directly in the middle and flew out.

An Ran was somewhat dumbfounded, but on second thought, it was true. After all, it was the sacred tree of the Peacock Clan. How could it be destroyed so easily?

An Ran tried with a spear, but couldn't make any mark on it.

An Ran tentatively threw the hook up to see if it could catch the scales on the tree.

After a few swings, the hook finally caught the scales, but the scales were too slippery and slid off again.

An Ran was worried about the little peacock flying up by itself. There was no movement in such a big tree. Something must have happened, otherwise how could there not be a single peacock in its territory.

She was afraid that something might happen to the little peacock if it flew up on its own, in case the factors that led to the accident were still there.

But we can't do without investigation.

Xiao Qi, who was hanging on her ear, suddenly shook his body.

【Master, leave it to me. 】

An Ran suddenly realized that she had forgotten Xiao Qi's ability to parasitize everything.

After Xiao Qi's transformation into an instrument was released, he split into countless tiny vines and drilled into the gaps between the scales.

Vines quickly emerged, and since there was no need to take away vitality, Xiao Qi controlled them to grow there.

Countless green vines were entwined around the tree as if they had grown there naturally.

Xiaoqi manipulated them to form a rope ladder that led to the next branch.

"Thank you, Xiao Qi."

Anran thanked Xiaoqi happily. Xiaoqi returned to Anran's head and they continued to move towards the next tree trunk.

After An Ran left, something began to surge inside the tree's scales, like bubbles, swelling up here and falling down there, like countless irregular wavy lines.

The wavy line chased Anran and the others, and when it encountered the rope ladder, it became quiet again.

The tree trunks swept by the waves seemed to have withered, and the leaves had lost their vitality.

Anran had no idea of ​​all this and she continued to climb up.

The branches are thick, so there is naturally a large enough distance between them, about a hundred meters apart.

There was no wind in the clan territory, so even though An Ran was in mid-air, climbing was not difficult.

It took about five minutes to reach the next branch.

The man and several pets continued to repeat the behavior of the previous tree trunk and continued to look for the peacock.

But the result was still the same as the previous tree trunk. Not to mention a peacock, there was not even a single bird feather.

So clean it's confusing.

Anran climbed into the huge bird's nest to take a look. There were white feathers inside, but nothing else.

The more they searched, the more uneasy they became. Could it be that there was not a single peacock left in the entire Bright Peacock Clan?

Qianyu is the last peacock of light?

An Ran continued to climb up without giving up, right? She had to see the result first.

The little peacock became more and more panicked as he looked. Although he had no memory, the place was filled with an extremely familiar atmosphere.

When Anran continued to climb up, it flapped its wings and flew directly to the next branch without waiting for Anran.

Like the previous two, it was still completely silent, without even the sound of wind blowing through the leaves.

The little peacock walked back and forth anxiously, flying to various bird nests and small houses to take a look. Except for the bird feathers left long ago, there was only cold air inside.

An Ran finally climbed up, but the little guy had already flown to the next one with his tail dragging.

Knowing that it was anxious, An Ran didn't say anything. She resigned herself to her fate and cooperated with Xiao Qi to continue climbing towards the next one.

Until evening, they repeated the series of actions of climbing trees, checking bird nests, and looking for peacocks.

But the result was not good. I climbed four branches but didn't see any peacocks.

Not to mention peacocks, there are no living creatures in this huge tribal territory. Only An Ran and the big white geese are active.

Seeing that it was getting dark, there was no time to rush, so Anran had to set up camp first.

The tree trunk is so thick, we can just find a place to put the cabin down.

Anran lit the stove. Without the sunlight, the giant tree was pitch black. The scales that once reflected colorful light under the sun were now cold and sharp.

Beneath the scales, something was surging and rolling, as if it was chasing them all the way.

The waves stopped when they reached the wooden house, and turned into countless surging waves that flowed in all directions.

Although An Ran sensed something was wrong, she went out to check but found no enemy attacks or anything else.

I had no choice but to go back to the cabin with doubts and prepare dinner.
