The eyes are naturally willow eyes. When Liu Chang walked close to the willow forest, he saw a lot of strange tree eyes growing on the edge of the forest—that is, at the junction of the willow forest and the ordinary forest.
There are strange eyeballs hidden on each willow paper note—it looks very scary—these eyeballs are slightly different from ordinary tree eyes. Although they still grow in trees, they are more like human eyeballs embedded in them. Yes, one by one, following the willow paper strips, swinging on the edge of the forest, fluttering in the wind.
"Is there anything wrong?" Liu Chang asked, looking at the dancing eyes all over the sky.
"Believe in the things of the pronuclear elders." Li Qingshui said a word, and stepped into the willow forest first.
Sensing the movement, a fresh willow note hung down from the soft treetop, a strange eye floated in front of Li Qingshui under the swing of the note, and then shrank back after a lot of ups and downs.
"Think of us as ordinary human beings." Li Qingshui turned around and said something, making Liu Chang follow.
"This strange amber stone also has the effect of deceiving the eyeballs to cover up the sound?" Liu Chang followed in doubt, but did not attract the attention of those watching eyeballs.
"Since it's a deceptive thing, it's not difficult to go out with false influences and voices. Since the Elder Pronucleus can deceive Willow's calculation ability, he must calculate everything." Li Qingshui looked at the lush forest above , stepping on the grass-free ground, walked into the depths of the jungle.
Walking in the willow forest, Liu Chang and Li Qingshui did not dare to go too fast - after all, even if they could deceive the sound and image, if they moved too fast, too much information would be leaked.
It's like, it's okay to wear a disguised prisoner in front of the police and pretend to be a passer-by, but if you pull out your gun, you don't know what the consequences will be.
And after slowing down his pace, it also gave Liu Chang more opportunities to observe the willows.
"The willow tree is so lush that it almost blocks the light from the sky." Liu Chang looked up at the composition of this "forest"—there is only willow in the forest, and there are no more lush plants in the sky and on the ground. Artemisia, and no more varieties of small bushes.
The tall ones in the sky are the thick branches of the willow tree that go deep into the ground - the thin ones on the ground are the twigs of the willow tree hanging down, and the ones hovering in the air are no longer ferns such as ivy, but the willow tree itself is entwined around itself. Notes and leaves together.
"Every leaf seems to move." Liu Chang walked among the willow trees, picked up a small gravel from the ground, and slowly touched a willow's delicate paper, and then the paper seemed to be able to sense the outside world. The touch of the object, even curled up within a touch.
"It looks really weird." Throwing away the gravel, Liu Chang quickened his pace.
The two walked forward, and within a few steps, they saw a strange beast—there are many beasts in the jungle, but when they are not attacking people, it is difficult for humans to see them, because they have their own lairs and have a sense of self-protection . But the beast in front of him, seeing Liu Chang and Li Qingshui coming, didn't even have the slightest intention of dodging or attacking. He was focusing all his attention on an object in front of it.
Liu Chang and Li Qingshui were behind a willow forest, so they couldn't see what the monster was confronting, but obviously, this strange sight aroused Li Qingshui's curiosity.
"Go and have a look." Li Qingshui stepped forward a few steps faster, and together with Liu Chang, they saw another strange beast tied up with willow paper.
The bound beast and the beast in front of it are of the same species, they both look very similar to pangolins and seem to be omnivores.
At this time, the strange beast was being tied and whipped by a few willow twigs, its shape was tragic.
"Didn't it mean that after the expansion of the willow tree, it no longer targets animals? What's the matter with being tied up and beaten?" Liu Chang looked at it miraculously, "If it is said that the willow tree needs nutrition, it should be absorbed directly. This cruel beating does not seem to be the case. Willow style, he is not such a boring tree."
"It is estimated that these pangolin-like things are destroying the tree for no reason." Li Qingshui couldn't see the clue of this in the willow forest, so he could only guess casually: "I heard that the willow tree even allows animals to eat his tubers, or branches and leaves, but if animals destroy its body for no reason, it may imprint some spiritual fear on them."
When Li Qingshui was talking, Liu Chang saw that the giant pangolin in front seemed to want to save his companion to bite the willow branch that whipped him, but he was no match for the note at all, and would be blown away every time he approached.
"Let's go." With a thoughtful sigh, Li Qingshui and Liu Chang started on the road again.
In the willow forest, although the speed of the two of them could not be increased to violate the rules, they still reached the limit standard of mutant humans. Therefore, the two of them arrived at the first city in the willow forest within a short time.
This walking route was chosen by Li Qingshui, and the city would pass through the city on the way, and the purpose of choosing the surrounding areas of the city as the traveling route was to see what the willow tree's current attitude towards human cities is.
"Cangzhou is ahead." Li Qingshui pointed to a few broken stone pillars on the ground while walking in the willow forest and said, "Next to it are some ruins of the former Huangshi Expressway, and the city is usually surrounded by counties and towns , I’d like to see if the willows have bypassed these villages and towns.”
Walking forward slowly, the two of them walked nearly 100 kilometers, and they suddenly saw a bright light—it was completely different from the feeling that the trees were gradually thinning out when they came out of the jungle. The dividing line between the willow forest and the town was very Apparently, it’s as if a god cut it out from the sky with a huge knife. On one side is the human city, and on the other side is the willow forest—on the willow forest side, it’s densely covered with almost no sunlight, while on the human side, almost No weeds grow.
"The willow tree has absorbed all the nutrients of those plants, and the ground has been hollowed out, so it looks so distinct." As Li Qingshui walked, he seemed to think of the willow tree he saw in the underground sewer in Kaifeng. The scene of the roots - At that time, the willow roots entwined and slowed down the entire underground of the city, but the trees outside the city were still lush.
"Well, when the willows didn't come, those plants were very lush no matter in the city or the surrounding areas, and they couldn't be cleaned up. Unexpectedly, they are all dead now." Liu Chang looked down and saw a piece of broken wood. The water in Duanmu had been completely drained. Blotted dry, it seems that it will turn into powder when you touch it again.
"Hey, there's someone in front." The two were walking, and just about to leave the forest, they saw a few swaying figures between the trees behind the thick fog.
