Doomsday Code

Chapter 363 Tree Spirit

Just as everyone was preparing to use their axes to chop down these thousand-year-old trees, all the trees in the entire forest suddenly came alive.

The veins on the thousand-year-old tree formed the shape of a human face on the trunk.

"Don't move, don't move."

The tops of these big trees rubbed against each other, and finally made a sound like a human voice that really scared everyone.

"What monster am I going to?"

This was the first time that Chen Cheng and his team had seen a true, pure tree-like creature with intelligence.

Although Huidun had encountered the vine dragon dead tree before, the vine dragon dead tree was not entirely a tree creature. It also had flesh and blood.

"It's not a monster, it's not a monster."

The sound of the treetops rubbing against each other could also answer Chen Cheng's words.

After the initial surprise, Chen Cheng figured out the principle behind the sounds made by these trees.

Later he also realized that these trees were spiritual beings and had acquired quite high intelligence.

Speaking of this, Chen Cheng couldn't help but think of the gossip he had talked about with Lao Ke in his spare time in his previous life.

At that time, Lao Ke asked him whether he believed that the trees in the forest were intelligent, and that the denser the trees and the older they were, the more intelligent they were.

In the previous life, this was just some idle talk after dinner, a kind of science fiction fantasy.

But now that it is actually in front of me, it is still very exciting.

"Hey, how did you learn to speak? How do you control the friction of the branches? Do you have muscles inside the branches? Do you have a brain inside? Is your body structure different from other trees?"

Chen Cheng asked a barrage of questions, which made it difficult for the trees to react for a while.

Not only did they gain intelligence, they also learned human language.

But they didn't understand what Chen Cheng said, except for the last question.

"We are just like other trees, except that we have learned to talk."

Seeing that Chen Cheng had not gotten to the point after talking for a long time, Huidun said immediately:

"It was our fault just now, but we want to get through this canyon. I wonder if the elder can give us some help?"

But Huidun's words made them understand, and the faces of the people on the tree trunks immediately changed from confusion to happiness.

"You want to go home, right? Show us your identity tokens and we can build a wooden bridge for you."

Chen Cheng, who was standing by, knew what the identity tokens the trees were talking about as soon as he heard it. He directly took out the relic token from his space bag.

When Huidun saw Chen Cheng take out the token, he knew what this identity token was.

When these tree spirits saw the tokens the two men took out, the friction sound between the treetops became louder, and the sound sounded like cheers.

"Welcome home."

Soon the entire forest began to tremble, and countless roots emerged from the ground and then stretched to the other side of the canyon.

These roots weave together to form a bridge across the canyon.

During this period, Chen Cheng and his team did not feel any fluctuations of magical energy at all. It was simply a miracle.

After the bridge was formed, Chen Cheng wanted to ask these tree spirits, but these tree spirits turned into dead things again. Only the bridge formed by the roots and vines told them that what they had just experienced was not an illusion.

"Let's go."

Everyone climbed on the back of the Wind Wolf, and then walked onto the bridge one by one.

Just now, they thought the canyon was nothing when they were just watching from the side. However, when they actually walked on the bridge and reached the center of the canyon, Chen Cheng and his friends felt the danger of the canyon.

From time to time, a strong wind would blow from the bottom of the canyon. The sword of a guard knight slightly passed over the bridge surface, and the next moment the part of the sword that passed over the bridge surface was directly melted by the strong wind.

"Be careful, the wind blowing down here is not ordinary wind, but strong wind."

Seeing this, Xiao Dun pulled the knight back a little, and then reminded everyone.

"Speed up and cross the bridge at full speed."

After seeing the danger of the canyon, everyone sped up a bit, and within half a minute everyone had crossed the bridge.

When the last person came down, the roots rooted in the rock wall began to shrink back, and then in a moment the root vine bridge disappeared from everyone's sight.

Those standing on both sides of the canyon could not see how dangerous it really was.

"Let's go. These tree spirits should be the outer guards of this ancient ruins. If we come here without the token this time, I'm afraid we would have been killed by these tree spirits long ago."

Chen Cheng said as he looked at the canyon.

Before this, everyone thought that these tree spirits were weak, but after experiencing the strong wind, they realized how powerful these tree spirits were.

The strong wind that could easily blow away even the greatsword had no effect at all on the roots of these tree spirits, which was enough to show how indestructible these tree spirits were.

Huidun also nodded and said:

"Everyone must be careful from now on. The reconnaissance troops ahead don't need to scout anymore. Just follow me and Brown."

Xiao Dun and the others were not so stubborn as to think it was a big deal, so they all nodded.

Then it was Xiao Dun and Chen Cheng who led the way. Xiao Dun and his men were alert to their surroundings, ready to take out explosives and artillery from their space bags to clear the area at any time.

I don’t know if it was because the tree spirit said it was going home, but they didn’t encounter any obstacles on the way and they soon reached their destination.

At this time, at the destination, Moduonik and others had already cleared a piece of land as a campsite.

But when they saw Huidun and his group coming over in a mighty procession, they all showed looks of surprise on their faces.

One of the guys, who looked rather embarrassed, pointed at them and said:

"You...why are there so many of you?"

Chen Cheng and his companions looked at this guy in tattered clothes, and if they didn't know him, they would think he was a beggar.

Chen Cheng jumped off Daha's back, and then walked up to this guy and said:

"Brother, have you been robbed or something? Your clothes are worth a lot of money. Are you here alone? Where are your guards?"

At this time, Chen Cheng was completely unaware of the differences among their group of people.

The others who had not set up camp yet were all alone in groups of three or four, but they were a group of dozens or even hundreds of people, and each of them was riding a Wind Wolf, looking very majestic.

The guy that Chen Cheng is questioning now is of no ordinary background. He is the son of a big family in a province in the southern part of the kingdom. He got the quota this time and before he set off, he brought a large group of people with him.

But in the end, they encountered the same problem as Chen Cheng and his team: a large canyon blocked their way.
