For a giant tree with a diameter of more than ten meters, if you look up at the huge canopy for a little longer, you will involuntarily feel dizzy.
The thick tree roots protruding from the ground near the bottom of the tree trunk look like sleeping pythons.
Some of the fallen leaves piled at the bottom of the trunk are withered and yellow, some are tender green, but they are all extremely complete. You can even see the veins on the leaves from a distance.
The perception released by Lei Meng was like a breeze blowing across the area of several kilometers. After a moment, he determined that only the giant tree in front of him was the largest, and it was surrounded by lush roots rooted in the ground. There are absolutely no roots of other trees, as if it has absolute dominance over this area.
Raymond, who had let out a sigh when he saw this tree before, felt more and more familiar with it the more he looked at it.
Although he could conclude that he had never seen such a giant tree before, the inexplicable feeling of familiarity could not be dispelled.
Looking up at the 100-meter-high umbrella-shaped tree crown, and carefully observing the lush branches, you can vaguely see the round fruits that are ripe or about to ripen under the leaves.
The inexplicable feeling of familiarity made Raymond stop moving forward. He stood quietly in front of the giant tree and fell into deep thought.
Just a moment later, the iron-spine bird that fearfully followed him into the Liguo Forest suddenly widened its eyes and opened its sharp beak but did not dare to make any sound. After holding its breath, it slowly lowered its body and crawled. On the ground, it covered its head with its huge wings and shivered like a frightened ostrich.
Sand, sand, sand, sand, sand...
The breeze that shuttled between the tree trunks moved the fallen leaves piled at the bottom of the tree trunks. The pile of fallen leaves that had remained motionless before collapsed, and as the rustling sound gradually increased, a strange sound also appeared gradually.
"Chirp, chirp... chirp..."
The tender and clear sound became louder and louder, much like the first sharp call of a chick that had just hatched out of its shell.
Raymond, who was standing completely still, gradually regained his composure as the sound came out, but his unfocused eyes suddenly shrank when he saw clearly the fallen leaves!
Palm-sized yellow leaves gradually separated from the pile of fallen leaves and scattered all over the ground, while the veins on those tender green leaves gradually stretched and extended, becoming their slender and tender limbs.
"Chirp, chirp... chirp..."
The eyes on the child-like faces on these tender green leaves are as clear as babies, with Raymond's reflection in them and the trembling iron-spine bird crawling behind him.
It dawned on him in an instant. Raymond raised his head and looked at the fruits hidden in the canopy. After narrowing the distance of his sight, he finally saw the face above the fruits that looked like a child sleeping soundly!
Thinking of the name mentioned by the big tree before, Raymond took a deep breath and tentatively spoke. "Mo Xi'er?"
As Raymond spoke the name in ancient Torres language, the existence that seemed to be just an ordinary giant tree began to change.
The originally still tree trunk began to tremble slightly, and the crown of the tree began to sway slowly. The trunk facing Raymond was full of dry and cracked bark. It slowly squirmed, and the accumulated bark gradually formed a tree. The charming female face, the straight bridge of the nose has perfect lines that seem to be carved out!
At this time, the tender green leaves standing out from the pile of dead leaves also held hands with each other, forming countless circles under the thick trunk. While making chirping sounds, the slender calves kept moving.
Lifting and falling, it makes a rustling sound.
"Young Lord Wizard, what are you doing here..."
There was a very lazy voice with a heavy nasal sound, as if he had not woken up, but the giant tree did not deny Raymond's previous title, making him understand that this was Mo Xi'er.
"I'm looking for a wizard named Michur. He should live deep in the Liguo Forest!"
"Michelle? Is he that old man with a somewhat withdrawn personality... I haven't seen him coming to ask for fruit for a long time..."
There was a hint of worry on her charming face, her eyes narrowed slightly as if she was thinking, but after a moment, Mo Xier smiled and said, "Haha... no wizard has entered here for a long time, can you give me some magic stones?"
Some sudden requests made Raymond stunned for a moment. But then he silently took out a dozen magic stones and threw them over.
The slender branches that suddenly hung down from the tree crown tens of meters high overhead grabbed these magic stones one by one like dexterous palms, and then sent them into the mouth on the tree trunk.
The sound of chewing was faintly coming from the trunk, and the leaves surrounding the bottom of the trunk were dancing happily around the giant tree at an accelerated speed.
While Mo Xi'er waited patiently to eat all the magic stones, the leaves holding hands in circles mostly turned their curious eyes to Raymond. The curious expression like a child couldn't help but make him smile a little.
But before he could ask again, the branches that had rolled up the magic stone before returned to the crown of the tree and then hung down again, bringing the ripe fruits rolled up at the ends of the branches in front of Raymond.
"I really miss the taste of magic stones... Although these fruits are not as precious as the magic stones, the taste should satisfy you..."
Mo Xier's slightly apologetic tone made Raymond smile. However, after the faces on the fruits that were presented to him gradually became more vivid, he took half a step back with lingering fear and shook his head.
."Mo Xi'er, I once saw such a fruit in the Warcraft Forest on the west coast many years ago..."
The charming face on the tree trunk became surprised. Under questioning, Raymond recounted what happened that year. "I still deeply remember the begging and screams from the red fruit that I chewed."
The sound, now that I think about it, is a bit creepy. Although it is not about eating some high-level magical beasts, I still refuse to thank such a child-like fruit..."
The slightly weird laughter of "Hohoho" made the entire giant tree tremble violently, and various leaves falling from the tree crown covered the ground in a moment.
While Mo Xier laughed, the ripe fruits she sent to Raymond began to struggle in the branches wrapped around their bodies as if they were waking up, and various sounds suddenly erupted.
.
"Grandma! Grandma! Let me out..."
"Don't eat me...don't eat me..."
"Grandma is bad...Grandma is bad..."
These fruits, which spoke clearly and had different faces but were extremely real, once again reminded Raymond of the scene when he swallowed the red fruit. Raymond, who felt a little hairy in his heart, instinctively wanted to stay away.
These fruits!
"Don't worry, these are just pranks done out of boredom...I think the big tree you saw must be the old Moses of my tribe..."
Seeing this, Mo Xier couldn't help laughing. She stopped smiling and quickly started to explain. It was during her explanation that Raymond finally understood the truth.
Mo Xi'er, who belongs to the 'Whisperer' tribe, is the oldest tree on the surface plane, so she is quite familiar with these fun-loving members of the tribe.
"Old Moses should be the only one living on the west coast. His favorite thing is to use this method to scare people... but his courage is quite small. As long as he feels that the target's strength exceeds his, he will stay away. Escape, and the wizards will never notice his trace..."
After demonstrating the different behaviors and reactions of these fruits in person, Mo Xier finally taught Raymond a method. If he encounters a trick like what old Moses did again, he only needs to remove the fruit before eating it. Cut off the connection between the fruit and its body, and the baby-like fruit will return to normal, and it will never scream like it does when chewed!
Raymond, who tried to seal these fruits, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the ordinary fruits. The shadows left in his memory many years ago were completely eliminated today, but for the people he met on the west coast, Old Moses felt deep resentment in his heart...
PS: Well~ this is an explanation for the issue of 'Hongguoguo'. In fact, it was originally planned to be dealt with in the land of high towers, but a lot of confused and angry people began to appear in the book review area, so I decided to put this one first. Let’s get rid of the foreshadowing~
