Chapter 118 Elf Mother Tree
The elves looked at each other, eager to try.
Mei Yang, on the other hand, stared blankly at the vines in front of him, very hesitant.
"What's the matter?" Pope patted Mei Yang's shoulder and asked him, "Can't you go up?"
"I can't go up." Mei Yang answered honestly.
Although each hanging silk ribbon is as thick as a person's waist and has a rough surface, it has a certain amount of friction.
But for Mei Yang, a pure human who was not born to climb, using this to climb to a branch about 100 meters high, or 35 stories high, is still a fantasy.
If he accidentally falls from any height, he will basically die.
Unless Mei Yang returns to his ancestral form and turns into a monkey, there is only a chance of success.
After hearing what he said, several elves hesitated - they didn't want to force Mei Yang to go up. After two days of getting along with each other, they knew very clearly the difference in physical fitness between the black-haired kid and themselves. They were considering whether they were capable of climbing up.
You know, the nearest branch is five times higher than the Elf King’s tree house!
The guys gathered together to discuss, and finally only Red, Blue and Pop decided to go up.
Among them, Red is strong and has powerful arms, which allow him to climb upwards for a long time; Blue and Pop are flexible.
The reason why Auggie gave up climbing the tree was that his physical fitness was average, but his base weight was too heavy and he might not be able to hold on in the second half; the reason why Sean gave up climbing the tree was purely because he was timid.
Of course Mei Yang was not going to follow him, he knew his own limitations.
Although it is a pity, life is more important.
After the discussion, the three warriors who wanted to climb the tree prepared to set off.
"Don't worry, I will write down the above situation and tell everyone...Yeah?" Red said, and suddenly let out a strange cry.
"What's wrong?" Mei Yang asked him hurriedly.
"Uh, I'm not sure. I just felt like the vines were moving," Red replied stutteringly.
The expression on his face was conflicted and strange, as if he was frightened but trying hard to hold it in.
Mei Yang put his hand on the vine he had just touched.
The next second, Mei Yang also screamed: "My Bodhisattva is really moving!"
Before, when the silk ribbons were hanging down, they didn't move, but just looked at it and didn't find anything unusual.
Until just now, when he saw Red's strange reaction when he put his hands on the vines, and Mei Yang followed suit, he was now convinced that these vines could move!
It has an upward pull!
Mei Yang thought of something and his face turned red with excitement.
Without bothering to explain to his curious friends, Mei Yang pulled up a vine and tied two knots at its slightly thinner bottom - the process was a little difficult, Mei Yang held the top to keep the whole vine still, and then asked Red, who had the strongest strength, to pull the end of the knot and tighten the two stacked knots - after tightening, the composite knot formed was very large, as big as a twelve-inch pizza, and very strong.
"Red, do you believe me?" Mei Yang asked.
Red is the oldest, strongest and best-trained among them. Mei Yang wants him to verify his guess - if it is true, it must be safer than Red climbing up with his bare hands.
Red nodded without hesitation: "Of course, you are the smartest, I believe you!"
Mei Yang gave him a sweet smile in return.
Then he instructed: "Sit on it, yes, sit cross-legged on this vine knot, wrap the vine around your body, sit tight and hold it tightly."
Red did so and asked, "And then?"
"Then..." Mei Yang put his hand on the vine, pulled it down hard, and said, "Wuhu, take off--"
"Wow!" This was the defenseless Red.
"Wow!" These are the other elves.
Mei Yang's guess was true: these vines were simply manual induction elevators. As long as you cling to them, the vines would automatically rise up and take you up.
As expected! As expected! Mei Yang exclaimed.
He said that such a high altitude was too high even for elves with extremely developed jumping cells.
Even a long time ago, it is impossible for the elves to never come down from the trees, and there cannot be no children in a tribe, so there must be a shortcut.
Just now, he and Reid put their hands on the vines, and the upward pull they felt made Mei Yang feel happy.
I'm really smart! Mei Yang was overjoyed.
"Mei Yang, you are so smart!" Sure enough, after seeing Red turn into a small black dot in a trembling sound and finally successfully reach the branch, the remaining elves turned their attention back to Mei Yang and praised him loudly.
"It's okay." Mei Yang pretended to be shy. "Come on, let's tie these vines together and go explore together!"
They did it right away. Mei Yang still held the top of the vine to prevent it from being under too much force, and then the two girls followed Mei Yang's example and tied knots in the vine.
After making this simple vine-knotted chair elevator, Mei Yang was about to tie knots on several other vines by pressing the heads, but was stopped by Blue with a smile.
"No need, we can hold on tightly." After saying that, he hugged the vine with both arms, and then used the toe of one foot to pick up the tail of the vine.
The other elves followed suit and said they could do it, so Mei Yang didn't need to bother tying the knots one by one.
Hearing this, Mei Yang gave up trying to persuade these fantasy creatures who were very good at climbing, and sat on the rattan chair himself. Around him, several elves took their positions one after another.
"Are you ready?" Mei Yang took a deep breath and asked with a smile. Seeing everyone nod, he hugged his vine and pulled it down hard, "Let's go!"
These vines rose at a constant speed as if someone was pulling them from above, and all the hanging silk ribbons around them rose up with them.
It was like riding a pirate ship or a bungee jumping machine. The wind that penetrated from top to bottom made every hair and every cell of Mei Yang jump wildly. His adrenaline level kept rising, and he could hear the elves' screams of excitement in his ears.
Mei Yang also felt very excited, but he couldn't scream, as if there was a blockage in his throat, and sour lemon juice was rushing through his veins.
So cool and exciting.
His pupils dilated with excitement, his body trembled slightly in the wind, and his heart sank infinitely in the feeling of weightlessness.
The speed only slowed down when approaching the destination.
"Come on, come down...Huh? Why isn't he moving?"
"Mei Yang, Mei Yang?"
"Don't poke him, he must be scared silly, Red, come and take him down."
Amid the chattering and laughter of the elves, Mei Yang was carried down by Red, holding him under the armpit.
He was completely dazed, his brain nerves were extremely active, but his body had shut down due to hormones. He looked silly, which made the elves laugh.
It took a while for Mei Yang to come back to his senses.
The branches of the mother tree are extremely strong, and standing on it, there is a relatively flat road that is at least five or six meters wide. Except for the lack of fences, the overall situation is very safe.
Mei Yang looked down. The height of nearly 100 meters made him dizzy. After the excitement, he sweated a lot and his palms were sticky.
"I was scared to death!" Mei Yang wiped his palms on his clothes, then patted his face and said.
His appearance once again made the others laugh.
After resting for a while, everyone shared their experience of riding the elevator. When Mei Yang's legs were no longer weak, Auggie helped him stand up and took a few steps on the branches a hundred meters above.
"Feeling better?" Auggie asked.
"Okay, I'm feeling better. Help me walk a few more steps..." Three days ago, Mei Yang would never have thought that he would do such a bold thing - he must have been assimilated into the world of the little flower fairy!
Standing on the mother tree, the scenery is quite different: looking up, the clouds seem to be within reach, but you have to know that on this branch, the mother tree seems to be more than two hundred meters high before it reaches the top; looking around, it seems that you can clearly see the track of the wind, and you can see many surrounding lands from a distance, and even a glimpse of the outline of the Elf Square; looking down... Mei Yang dare not look down.
Everyone walked with him for a while before Mei Yang transformed from a worm with limp limbs into a human being who could walk upright.
Mei Yang turned his attention to the branches under his feet.
This huge, thick branch has a very flat upward side and no buds, as if it was specially used as a road for the elves. Only on the treetop extending far outward do many branches and leaves grow.
The elevator landed in the middle of the tree branch. Several people walked towards the trunk. In the distance, Mei Yang saw a dark hole.
His eyes lit up, and he pointed at the hole and said loudly, "That must be the entrance to the inner space of the mother tree!"
That dark, doorless hole seemed to hold some mysterious allure.
All he heard was Reid's command: "Charge!"
Then everyone, including Mei Yang, rushed towards the tree trunk together.
The branches were as flat and wide as a road, enough for them to run freely.
As they got closer, the elves all slowed down their pace and waited for the black-haired cub that fell at the back.
"Huh - I'm so tired, so exhausted!" Mei Yang swore that he would never compete with the elves in running again.
He held onto the cave entrance with one hand and stuck his head inside - he couldn't see anything clearly.
Mei Yang thought that his eyesight was not good enough, so he stepped back a little to let the elves see.
In the end, no one could figure it out.
The only thing that can be seen clearly is the long staircase connecting to the cave entrance. I don’t know whether it is sturdy or not, but it is definitely an antique-level protected building.
Everyone looked at Mei Yang.
As the person in charge of making the decision, Mei Yang made a prompt decision and said, "Since we're here."
As he said that, he was the first to walk in.
·
In the temple, the Elf King Melida, who was meditating, suddenly opened her eyes.
The seal on the mother tree that he had carved with his own hands was actually opened.
Could it be...
The Elf King didn't have time to think about it, he quickly stood up and walked out.
He was extremely fast. As soon as he entered the forest, he jumped between trees like a nimble white gull, approaching the mother tree at an extremely fast speed.
The Elf King had a vague guess in his mind that the seal might have been broken because of the human cub, but he had to personally control any changes regarding the mother tree and could not afford any mistakes.
At the same time, Mei Yang was leading his friends up the stairs step by step.
--------------------
The author has something to say:
After writing this chapter, I finally understood why some readers said that my writing style was as healthy as a textbook - I always jump back and forth between pornography and children's literature.
The specific physical examination report will be available in a few days.
When taking the chest X-ray, I specifically mentioned that I had been feeling very anxious and palpitating recently, and that I had a history of several premature beats. The doctor said that it was caused by my frequent staying up late and reversing my day and night patterns, coupled with high mental stress - I was indeed under a lot of work pressure some time ago.
There's nothing serious wrong with my heart, so just let me have a good rest.
But my lung shadows and lung nodules have gotten bigger ahhhhhhh!
There are also nodules and cysts in the thyroid gland, and whether surgery is needed depends on the detailed report.
I feel like my corpse is hard now (peaceful).
Don't worry, it's no big deal for a flawed human like me to have some issues. I can just patch it up later...
