After listening to what Bai Yiqing said, Ding Laosan exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there are such wonderful things in the world."
With the care of the refreshing air emanating from the Qingling Pearl, Yu Fei and Ding Laosan immediately felt a lot cooler and more comfortable. They also walked much more briskly.
The three of them were chatting and unknowingly reached the top of the sand dune. The group of people walked to the small square mound and stopped.
This mound is not big. It is only half a meter high. It is square and about one meter long on a side. The entire mound has been riddled with holes due to wind and sand erosion.
Bai Yiqing swung out a spiritual tail and probed into the small mound. After a while, the small mound began to tremble. As Bai Yiqing shouted loudly, the entire small mound immediately split into several pieces.
Ding Laosan looked on in shock. This thousand-year-old fox fairy must be too powerful.
Yu Fei was already used to it, but he was very puzzled. He couldn't figure out what Bai Yiqing wanted to do. He actually destroyed an ancient building relic that might be a precious cultural relic.
I waited for him to ask, but suddenly I noticed something hidden among the small mounds of broken soil.
He quickly squatted down and pushed aside the broken soil covering it. Then he saw clearly that what was covered by the small mound of soil was actually a tree stump.
The diameter of the tree stump exceeds half a meter. The three of them were a little surprised when they saw it. In this sea of death where no grass grows, there is actually a tree stump with a diameter of half a meter, which is covered by a small artificial mound. Moreover, the cross section of this tree stump is very smooth and flat. .Someone must have polished it deliberately. There are also some strange patterns engraved on it. What is going on?
"Damn it, what's the point of getting a tree stump here?" Ding Laosan was also confused.
"This tree stump is actually absorbing yang energy." Bai Yiqing used his spiritual sense to explore it and said in shock.
"What..." Yu Fei couldn't believe his ears. It was incredible that such a dead tree stump buried in the sand could absorb Yang Qi. He quickly summoned his spiritual consciousness. Sure enough, he found a pure Yang essence. They are continuously gathering at this tree stump.
The aura between heaven and earth can be divided into yin and yang. Water is yin, mountains are yang, the moon is yin, and the sun is yang. The sunlight in the desert is extremely strong during the day, and the natural aura produced is also a pure yang aura. And this dead tree stump is It is this pure Yang energy that is absorbed.
"Damn, this is too weird. Let me see what it is." Ding Laosan didn't believe it was a tree stump. Nowadays, even trash cans in some scenic spots can be designed to look like tree stumps. Maybe the tree stump in front of me was actually just a disguise. So I thought about getting it out of the sand to see clearly.
He stepped forward and hugged the tree stump and lifted it up with force, trying to pull the tree stump out of the sand. However, he struggled for a long time. Even though his face was red from holding it in, the tree stump did not move at all.
"Damn it, this thing must have taken root." Ding Laosan said with some embarrassment.
"Third Master, why don't you let me try." Bai Yiqing said. He threw out a few spirit tails and wrapped them around the tree stump.
He had just seen the power of Bai Yiqing's spirit tail. Ding Laosan quickly stood aside. Yu Fei even knew how powerful Bai Yiqing's spirit tail was. In the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, even iron bars as thick as a child's wrist could be entangled by it. Broken. Not to mention a tree stump like this in front of me.
However, this time, even Bai Yiqing's spiritual tail failed to work. Although Bai Yiqing had brought his inner energy to the extreme, the tree stump remained motionless.
The three of them were all shocked. What on earth was going on? Could it be that this tree stump was really what Ding Laosan said and had a hidden secret?
"Why don't we dig up all the sand next to the tree stump and see what's going on." Yu Fei thought of a clumsy but practical method.
Ding Laosan and Bai Yiqing both nodded in agreement. Then the three of them started digging.
The sand in the dune was very loose. After a while, the three of them dug nearly one meter deep. But the tree stump had not yet reached the end. Instead, some rhizome branches could be seen spreading around the ground. It turned out that this was not only Just a stump. And the root of a tree. No wonder it couldn't be gotten out.
"The root system of this tree is so developed. It seems that it may have grown here before." Ding Laosan said.
"It's very possible. According to the information given by Brother Bo, Lop Nur used to be a large lake. There used to be dense woods around the lake. Maybe this tree is the big tree that used to grow by the lake." Yu Fei Analyze.
The three of them continued to dig deeper. They saw that the roots of the tree had more and more branches, and the entire root system was distributed more and more widely underground.
"Damn it. What kind of tree is this..." This is the first time Ding Laosan has seen a tree with such a developed root system. And it actually comes from a tree stump that has no signs of life. But from its well-developed root system Looking at it, it feels like it is still alive, but it is just living under the sand.
The three of them continued to dig. Because they were in a high dune area, even though they had penetrated nearly two meters deep into the sand, the sand still appeared to be very dry. However, the root system of the tree stump became more developed, and its rhizomes were quite tough. Apparently, they were This is because the rhizomes also contain water.
From this point of view, the root system of this tree stump should have penetrated deep into the underground water system. Otherwise, its rhizome would have become dry, hard and brittle. It would never be so tough.
A tree stump with only its roots left can actually absorb sunlight and water from the underground water system. It is completely like a living tree. This is obviously beyond the normal life theory.
"Maybe it's because of these runes." Yu Fei turned his attention to the runes on the cross section of the tree stump.
Bai Yiqing frowned: "These runes are very similar to the ghost runes mentioned by the old Taoist in Beacon Tower."
"The ghosts are so damn boring. They just made a dead tree stump look like a living thing. It can absorb light and water. What on earth do they want to do?" Ding Laosan couldn't think about it. Its solution.
Yu Fei said: "I think I need to go back and ask the Taoist Master for advice on this matter. He knows the ghost technique better."
As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy. In order to deal with people in the ghost realm, Kun Yuanzi devoted himself to studying the art of the ghost realm for several years. The method he used to cultivate the flying zombie body was also learned from the art of the ghost realm.
However, Kun Yuanzi's sinister body definitely couldn't stand the scorching sun at noon. And there was no cell phone signal here. He couldn't call Kun Yuanzi to tell her. It seemed that he had to go back. So Yu Fei took out The cell phone took a photo of the runes carved on the cross section of the tree stump. The three of them walked back.
