I can't play this game

"Maybe it's some kind of geographical plant with a relatively long root system."

The eggplant gently picked off a small tree root, only to find that white mucus began to drip from the root system.

Ji Han reached out to pick up a few drops and said:

"The white mucus flowing from the root system of this plant seems to be the same thing as the liquid in the stone pillar that feeds those people."

As soon as Eggplant heard it, he shook off the tree root in his hand and said:

"You mean the roots of this plant supported those people?"

Ji Han shook his head and said:

"I'm just guessing, I can't confirm it. It's not bad that this kind of deep plant can support itself to survive. It is indeed a bit exaggerated that a certain plant can support so many people to survive at the same time."

Ji Han wanted to ask Chen Ke for his opinion, but when he turned around, he found that he didn't follow closely, but squatted next to a few one-meter-high stones in front of the mountain wall and moved around, as if he was observing something.

The three of them thought that Chen Ke had discovered something, looked at each other and walked over.

When they got closer, the three of them saw Chen Ke popping out the computer screen, and the screen was exactly the scene recorded in the Nine Star Mirror of the Pre-Qin Dynasty.

"Hey, what's wrong with Chen Ke? Did you find anything?"

After being asked by Ji Han, Chen Ke regained his composure.

He hastily held up the screen in his hand to show the three of them, and asked:

"Do you still remember the three mountains that were supposed to be outside?"

Song Qian nodded and said:

"I remember, but isn't there no outside? We didn't speculate on the specific reason at the time, and thought it was corroded by external forces."

Chen Ke nodded, swallowed again and took a breath before turning around and pointing to the three one-meter-high stones on the ground:

"I don't know if I read it wrong. Look at those three stones, do they look like the three mountains that disappeared outside?"

Chapter 377

The three of them didn't understand what Chen Ke meant for a while.

Ji Han lowered his head to compare it with Chen Ke's screen, and Chen Ke also helped Ji Han adjust his position and angle.

Sure enough, from that position, the three stones on the ground were exactly the same as the three mountains in the video.

"It seems to be exactly the same."

Ji Hanxin said that only Chen Ke could discover such details, thanks to the fact that he had studied the video at least dozens of times.

Eggplant stood behind him and didn't understand what it meant:

"How do you say this? Before the three mountains outside disappeared, people here made models of the three mountains outside?"

Song Qian frowned and said:

"Transforming the real scene into a square inch, there is such a saying in ancient times, but why do you want to do it here?"

Seeing that Chen Ke still had a solemn expression and didn't reply, Ji Han knew that he definitely didn't think so, and asked:

"Chen Ke, you discovered it, what do you think is going on?"

Chen Ke hesitated for half a second before saying:

"Do you think it's possible that the three mountains have shrunk to a few stones in front of you?"

Eggplant felt that this was too unbelievable, and smiled:

"No way, have you watched "Doraemon" too much, kid? It's thanks to you to figure out how to shrink the three mountains."

Song Qian knew that although Chen Ke was timid, he would not make such meaningless guesses, so she asked:

"Chen Ke, do you have any basis for saying that?"

"Not yet, but the distribution of these stones here is really weird."

As Chen Ke spoke, another screen popped up from his hand, fiddled with several topographic maps on it, and said back:

"Brother Ji, can I trouble you to take a picture of these stones for me?"

Although they didn't understand what Chen Ke was going to do, but now there was no way forward, the three had no choice but to take out a flashlight to help Chen Ke illuminate the surroundings, hoping to find something.

Chen Ke fiddled with the topographic map and walked back and forth. Eggplant still joked:

"What you know is what you are comparing? If you don't know, you think it's playing something like 'Looking for Dragons, Fenjin, and Watching Mountains' on a tablet computer."

This time, Chen Ke didn't respond to the joke, but reached out to let Ji Han and the three come back.

"How? Have you found anything?"

"Brother Ji, look at this."

As Chen Ke said, he handed the tablet to Ji Han, and what was displayed on the screen was indeed a topographic map.

Chen Ke threw a few lighting sticks around. Although the lighting effect was not as good as the three of them just now, it was enough.

and explained:

"At that time, in order to find this place, I also made a simple observation and record of the surrounding terrain. These pictures are the surrounding terrain map."

But Ji Han searched and found nothing, because the mountains on the topographic map did not correspond to the group of rocks in front of him at all, and it could even be said that they did not even match together.

"That's not right, Chen Ke, the shape of the mountain on this topographic map does not match the group of rocks in front of me at all."

Unexpectedly, Chen Ke nodded deeply and said:

"That's right! It just doesn't match at all!"

Not to mention Ji Han, even Eggplant and Song Qian didn't keep up with Chen Ke's pace.

Eggplant was so anxious that he lit another chimney:

"Fuck, if you play charades again, I will stuff you into that stone pillar just now. What's going on with you?"

Chen Ke didn't respond, but took the tablet back, and then converted the topographic map just now into a three-dimensional image.

Simultaneously shooting through the cameras of both hands, a three-dimensional external terrain map appeared in front of the four of them.

Chen Ke also carefully adjusted the size ratio to be equivalent to the volume of the stone in front of him.

It is indeed the same as what Ji Han observed just now, the mountains on the topographic map do not correspond to the stones in front of him at all.

But they complement each other perfectly!

The vacant position among the stone group in front of him happened to be the place with mountains outside, and the position of these stones in front of him happened to be the vacant place outside.

"It can be seen in this way? The stone group here is completely complementary to the mountain outside."

Ji Han took a breath, and Eggplant also exclaimed:

"Grass, this? Isn't this too coincidental?"

Chen Ke shook his head and said:

"If, I mean, if this is not a coincidence, then is there a possibility that the open space outside is because the mountains have been shrunk down here, just like the three mountains?"

Only then did everyone understand what Chen Ke wanted to express.

Song Qian wondered:

"If you have the ability of Shenzhu to control the space, it is not completely impossible."

Ji Hanxin said that the people of the Liu family can teleport certain buildings and objects through space power, but if so many mountains are shrunk in front of them, it is still unacceptable for a while.

"That's what you say? But what's the use of shrinking those mountains and putting them here?"

Eggplant took a flashlight to shine on those stones. There were many roots stuck to the bottom and back of the stones. Eggplant stepped forward and tried to pull one out.

The tree root seemed to have penetrated into the stone, and the place where it was pulled out was still flowing with white mucus.

Eggplant asked:

"Ji Han, did you just say that the slime and the people raised in the stone pillars are the same?"

"It should be, what's wrong?"

Eggplant pinched the root and asked:

"That boy Chen Ke also opened my mind. Just now you asked where the nutrients for those people come from? Do you think there is a possibility that these tree roots are connected to these rocks?"

Before Eggplant finished speaking, Ji Han continued:

"Are you trying to say that these roots suck up the mountains to support those people?"

"Yes."

"Good fellows, you are really more than one dare to think, the roots of plants suck stones to support people."

Song Qian continued:

"Don't tell me, Ji Han, it may not be a joke."

"Song Qian, what do you think?"

Song Qian nodded and said:

"I still remember that when we came here before, the stone tablet outside said Dizu Village. At that time, we joked about the site of Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Dixian."

"Yes, but what does it matter?"

"These roots remind me of Zhenyuanzi's ginseng fruit tree in "Journey to the West". I read an explanation that there are no people in Zhenyuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple within a hundred miles because the aura of the surrounding creatures has been destroyed. The ginseng fruit trees are exhausted, and then they gather and condense into dozens of ginseng fruit."

Ji Han has indeed read Song Qian's distorted interpretation of "Journey to the West".

Although the above interpretation of "Journey to the West" is probably wrong, it did remind Ji Han.

This place is called Dizu Village. Is it true that the roots of the plants here suck up the surrounding mountains to support the people in these stone pillars?

And here is close to the Hengduan Mountains, if they can get nutrients by sucking the mountains, then it is really no problem to support so many people.

Thinking about Ji Han, he couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"Damn, I'm a little scared after thinking carefully, let's think about how to go on."

Chapter 378

The four searched for the roots and stones, not to mention the way to move on, there was not even a hole.

Eggplant asked while holding a flashlight:

"Song Qian, isn't your thing broken? Is the divine pillar really directly under the front?"

Song Qian was also puzzled and said:

"Although our position is already very low, there should be no problem with this instrument. Why is there no way to move forward?"

Ji Han questioned:

"Could it be that these grown roots blocked the original hole?"

Eggplant nodded and said:

"Don't say it, it's very possible, so what should I do? Burn these ghost things with a fire?"

Ji Han shook his head and said:

"As you saw just now, the roots of the tree are filled with that kind of white slime. It will definitely not burn. The key point is that I am also afraid that something will be attracted by the fire."

At this time, Chen Ke pulled out two long black lines from his fingers and said:

"It's easy to handle, leave it to me, I'll put this slender camera in, and with a mini light source, I can see if there is a cave inside."

Looking at the camera that Chen Ke protruded from his fingers, Eggplant showed an indescribable expression:

"Hey, Chen Ke, you are not bad, have you ever thought about using this ability to spy on other places?"

"what?"

Ji Han interrupted:

"Don't listen to that old rascal's nonsense, hurry up and see if there is any opening on the stone wall."

Ji Han, Song Qian, and Eggplant helped Chen Ke to push aside the roots outside. Chen Ke stuck his head in and stretched out his arms to poke the camera in to check what's going on inside.

Chen Ke poked half of his body into the root system, thinking that he would move slightly inside, looking for an angle.
