"What are you still standing there for? You won't be able to catch up!" Lin Yunguo urged.
"Oh yes, yes, come on, Grandpa, I'll support you."
Lin Xiuyuan also reacted and immediately held Lin Yunguo's arm and walked forward.
"I don't need your help, I can walk by myself."
Lin Yunguo put his hands behind his back and walked towards the vines.
"Grandpa Lin's health is getting better and better."
Nie Qing also said happily that it seemed that this space was indeed very beneficial to the human body.
Su Jin and Lu Hao quickly followed. They had originally thought that the mountain road would be difficult for the two elderly people to walk on, but at this moment, Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying walked without any pressure at all. As they walked, they walked hand in hand together...
Lin Xiuyuan and Su Jin walked silently behind, looking at their grandparents who were arm in arm, pointing at the surrounding scenery and chatting, and felt that they had really underestimated the two elders before.
Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying were wearing the windbreakers that Su Jin had bought for them today, and comfortable sneakers, looking very energetic.
The jackets and pants are very sturdy, so there is no need to worry about them being scratched by the leaves around you.
The group walked along the vines following the traces on the ground for a while, but heard a few zombie roars not far away.
Su Jin looked at Mao Qiqi, and Mao Qiqi just shook her head. She didn't know why it was not shown on her map. Could it be that her map was malfunctioning again?
Lu Hao always walked in front, fearing that any danger would suddenly appear.
When they reached a dense forest, they finally saw the source of the zombie roars. They turned out to be two elderly zombies.
The reason why we knew that they were old zombies was because the white hair on their heads was very conspicuous, and they had now merged into the two big trees behind them!
The mutant animals that had just been dragged by the vines were also placed under the zombie. It seemed that these trees were feeding the zombies?
The two trees had many slender branches similar to trunks hanging down from their crowns. Many branches sank into the soil below and continued to take root in the soil. The lower bodies of the two zombies had already merged into a thick tree trunk at the back.
Smelling the presence of a living person, the two zombies screamed even louder, but only their upper bodies were left stretched forward on the tree trunk, and one of the zombies even had no arms.
Could it be that these two zombies were eaten by the mutant tree?
At this time, the mutant tree seemed to sense that someone was approaching their territory. The slender branches that were embedded in the soil gradually emerged from the soil and turned into wooden thorns one after another, stabbing towards the crowd!
Nie Qing sneered, and a wind blade came out to cut off all the branches!
"What kind of demonic tree is this!" Lin Yunguo was shocked.
There are actually ugly human figures growing on it, and there are also tree trunks that can attack people!
"Grandpa, this is a mutant tree, and those two are probably zombies."
Lin Xiuyuan explained that he had been following Su Jin's instructions to protect the two of them, but it seemed that his grandparents didn't seem to be afraid at all...
The mutant tree sensed danger, and its slender branches gradually gathered together to form a wall, blocking the two zombies.
Several people were already puzzled. They were feeding the tree and protecting it, so what was going on?
After protecting the two zombies, everyone heard a rustling sound, and the mutant tree actually condensed the leaves on its crown into flying knives and shot towards everyone!
boom!
A burst of flames turned into a wall of fire, and none of the leaves could pass through Lu Hao's wall of fire.
"What a broken tree, just burn it," said Lin Xiuyuan.
Lu Hao also agreed. The fireball in his hand gradually condensed and was about to be thrown towards the two zombies!
At this time, Mao Qiqi fell to the ground in pain.
"Qiqi?! What's wrong?"
Su Jin quickly helped her up, and Lu Hao and Nie Qing also hurried over to check the situation.
“There are so many voices shouting, it’s so noisy”
Mao Qiqi said with a frown.
"Qiqi, don't be anxious. Try to calm down and see if you can block out this sound, or listen to what it is," Su Jin said from the side.
Mao Qiqi nodded. Last time, Su Jin asked her to try to block out this kind of sound. Now that she finally had the chance, she also wanted to give it a try.
She gradually calmed her heart and tried to feel the intricate sounds.
Please, don't kill them.
Please, don't kill, don't kill, don't kill...
Mao Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes, she heard it!
It was the voice of the trees, telling them not to kill the two zombies!
Mao Qiqi told everyone what she heard.
"It's amazing, but why?"
Lin Xiuyuan was amazed that his cousin could understand the sounds of plants, but he was also puzzled by the intentions of the trees.
"Sister Xiaojin, they asked you to use the wood element to take a look."
Mao Qiqi said to Su Jin.
???
Use wood system, go and take a look? How to see?
"Su girl, these trees are probably spiritual. If trees have spirits, they will have memories. Try to connect with them and feel them," Nie Qing said from the side.
Su Jin nodded. The memory of the tree?
She tried to summon vines and wrap them around the branches. As expected, the branches did not resist, but Su Jin could not feel anything.
Thinking of my Xiao Cui, do I have to use it?
A piece of green sprout emerged from Su Jin's hand and wrapped around the trunk of one of the trees.
Su Jin closed her eyes and looked at the picture in her mind in surprise. She saw it!
On the overgrown Ninghe Mountain, two elderly men, carrying saplings on their backs, staggered along the rugged mountain road.
It seemed that one of the two old men was blind, and the other had no arms.
"Old Li, Old Li, please help me roll up my trouser legs. There is a puddle ahead. " said the armless old man to the blind old man.
"Oh, okay!"
The blind old man smiled and responded, then fumbled to roll up the trouser legs for the armless old man, and then rolled up his own trouser legs as well.
The two old men carried hoes and dug up the barren soil on the barren mountain.
Su Jin saw the blind old man tremblingly put the sapling into the hole that had been dug, and another armless old man picked up a bucket of water with his toes and watered the newly transplanted sapling.
Day after day, when there were no saplings, the two disabled old men cut branches from the big tree, planted them in the soil, watered them, and buried them...
In this way, the Ninghe Mountain, which was originally covered with weeds, gradually became lush and green, and the cut branches gradually took root and sprouted, and grew into strong trees.
In the tree's memory, Su Jin also saw the two disabled old men falling and getting injured countless times, and then supporting each other to get up.
