In the twelfth hour, a circle of large trees appeared in front of the four of them.
Yes, you read that right, it's a circle of big trees.
A mushroom-shaped tree, about 20 to 30 meters tall.
"My goodness, is this a baobab tree? It doesn't look like one at all!"
Zhang Xiaomeng was about to step forward and measure with his arm when Zhao Xiaoyue quickly pulled him back before he could even touch it.
"You idiot, this tree is poisonous. Do you want to die with your intestines rotting out?"
Zhang Xiaomeng staggered back, shuddering. "My god, that's terrifying!"
At this moment, Situ Mingzhen couldn't describe how he felt.
It can only be said that the young girl has quite a few secrets.
The news that Bai Bu Piao was given to him by Master Pu, and at this moment he was actually skeptical.
This is my first time here. I learned about Jiujiang Xingfang and the wine that Bai Bupiao likes to drink.
Clearly understand everything that works and you shouldn't take something for free.
Wang Biao walked up to Situ Ming, who was watching Zhao Xiaoyue, and looked in that direction as well.
“Ninth Young Master, this young lady is truly remarkable. Not only have our people turned Jiujiang upside down, but even the helicopters in the sky haven’t been able to spot this place.”
Sang Biao's intuition was quite accurate. Besides, they had all heard Zhang Xiaomeng blurt out "take the helm" when they were being chased on the streets of Switzerland.
A teenage girl, facing such a large-scale chase, not only showed no fear, but seemed quite excited.
When there's no way out, a little observation is all it takes to figure out how to overcome the obstacle.
All of this, to use a trendy phrase, is unscientific!
“Uncle Biao, this is her matter; we are here seeking medical help.”
"We shouldn't concern ourselves with unnecessary matters."
After Situ Ming finished speaking, he walked up to Zhao Xiaoyue, who was still lecturing Zhang Xiaomeng.
"Do you know the saying, 'Curiosity killed the cat,' or 'The more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is'? That's what Zhang Wuji's mother said!"
"Okay, little niece!"
These mushroom trees are so beautiful!
The smooth tree trunk, which even four people might not be able to wrap their arms around, is a tree species I've never seen before.
It's about a dozen stories high, and more.
The leaves on top must be about a meter wide, thick and fleshy.
The top of the tree trunk occasionally flashes with light. There is a ring of such trees, with layers standing tall and short, looking mysterious yet orderly.
Why is it said to be poisonous?
It's strange that not a single reptile was found on the entire tree trunk.
It's quite jarring to see a big guy being scolded like a dog by a little girl.
"Is this Fengdu City?"
Situ Ming stepped forward and asked Zhao Xiaoyue.
Zhao Xiaoyue said with certainty, "This is Fengdu City."
Then she pulled Situ Ming back a few steps, "Little brother, you and Zhang Xiaomeng step back a bit, to a place a little further away."
When the three of them had retreated about 50 meters, they saw Zhao Xiaoyue peeking out from in front of each tree.
"Ninth Young Master, can you see clearly what my little niece is doing?"
Situ Ming slowly shook his head. "She seems to be looking for something."
Bai Butiao is skilled at using poison and is also adept at setting up traps. Zhao Xiaoyue suffered a lot in her previous life, which is why she has accumulated so much knowledge.
No one comes into this place because it is surrounded by a large area of poisonous fog that never dissipates.
From above, it looks like a forest; most people wouldn't be able to find it.
Zhao Xiaoyue wasn't sure if the organization had changed; she needed to observe carefully.
The mechanisms Bai Butiao made were also... bizarre and strange.
For example, the one Wang Biao encountered earlier, if it weren't for Zhao Xiaoyue pointing out the direction, they wouldn't have even been able to get to the edge of the forest.
Even if a clever person occasionally manages to enter, they will disappear into the jungle.
To give you an example, who can cross the Amazon rainforest alone?
This place is far more mysterious than the Amazon rainforest.
The area enclosed by these trees is about the size of four football fields in diameter, but there is only one exit.
Suddenly, a violent earthquake struck, resembling an 8.0 magnitude quake.
Situ Ming's pupils contracted. Ignoring Zhao Xiaoyue's instructions, he ran quickly to Zhao Xiaoyue, grabbed her, and prepared to run away.
Before Zhao Xiaoyue could react, she was already eight zhang away from the tree.
It's just... well, you know.
Zhao Xiaoyue comforted Situ Ming, "Brother Ming, Brother Ming, relax, relax, this is a normal reaction when the door is opened, it's okay."
Situ Ming held the little girl's hand tightly amidst a dizzying sensation.
Zhang Xiaomeng had been shaken to the ground; he felt like he was about to be shaken to death.
He tried to grasp at any straw, then lay down at Wang Biao's feet and grabbed his leg, which made him vomit.
This really humiliated Wang Biao.
A dozen seconds later, a sturdy tree in the middle of the circle of trees was moved to the side, looking fresh and vibrant.
"My goodness! My little niece, is this tree some kind of spirit? How can it run? It's a tree, and it's so thick!"
As he spoke, he raised his two hands and made a tree shape with them.
"What's the big deal? The world is full of wonders."
"Quickly put away that worthless look of yours, or people will laugh at you."
Didn't you see that the zombie uncle's expression changed?
Make a fool of yourself!
Situ Ming was also quite curious about how a living tree could be moved.
Seeing that the people around her also knew, Zhao Xiaoyue gave a brief explanation.
"The principle is very simple. It's like a tree planted in a movable flowerpot. You can't see it normally, but when you activate the mechanism, the pulleys under the flowerpot will move, and the door will open naturally."
