But I didn't expect to hear his muffled "Huh?" not long after I got in.

While supporting him, Eggplant asked with a cigarette butt in his mouth:

"What? Did you see the stripper?"

Ji Han heard from Chen Ke that he didn't seem to be in any danger, so Song Qian also asked:

"Chen Ke, are you okay?"

"It's okay, wait a minute, you push me in again."

The three of them looked at each other, then pulled Chen Ke's body and continued to probe inside.

"OK OK!"

After Chen Ke stabilized his body, the three heard him making a vigorous sound, as if he was reaching for something.

After a pause of four or five seconds, Chen Ke's cry came again:

"Okay, pull me out quickly."

The three of them pulled Chen Ke out forcefully again. When Chen Ke got out, he slumped on the ground, holding a black thing in his hand.

The large root system also covered the stone wall again as Chen Ke drilled out.

Seeing Chen Ke breathing evenly, Ji Han asked:

"Chen Ke, is there an entrance inside?"

Chen Ke shook his head and said:

"It's still a complete piece inside, without any holes, but I also found something, you see this."

As he said that, he put the image recorded by the finger camera into the screen. As the image on the screen gradually became clear, Ji Han and the three also saw the true appearance of the stone wall inside the root system.

The entire stone wall is not flat and smooth, but uneven and full of wrinkles.

At first, Ji Han thought it was something carved on the stone wall, but when the camera zoomed in, he realized that those folds looked so familiar.

"Is this... bark?"

Chen Ke nodded, and handed over the black thing he was holding.

"It should be right, this is what I buckled from above."

Ji Han took it in his hand and checked it. Although he couldn't confirm what kind of tree it was, there was no doubt that it was a piece of bark that had been snapped off.

Eggplant picked up the flashlight and turned back to take a photo of the "stone wall" covered with roots, with a look of disbelief:

"Grass, isn't it? You mean this is a big tree in front of us?"

Not to mention that Eggplant and Song Qian didn't believe it, even Ji Han couldn't accept it.

This "stone wall" can't see the head from the left and right, and can't see any curved arc. If it is really a big tree, then the tree must be at least as high as a mountain.

Song Qian recalled everyone's discussion just now, and exclaimed:

"This can't really be the ginseng fruit tree of Zhen Yuanzi in the legend?"

Seeing the tree roots covering the sky and the sun, Ji Han smiled bitterly and said:

"If it is true, then I can understand why ginseng fruit is so nutritious?"

Chen Ke said:

"I think this volume is more like the world tree in Nordic mythology."

According to the scene in the nine-star mirror in the pre-Qin period, the tree in front of him should have existed thousands of years ago, and judging by the white mucus flowing from the root system just now, the tree seems to be still alive.

It was only at this time that Ji Han and the others believed Chen Ke's previous conjecture that such a huge tree might really feed on other mountains to support the people in the stone pillar in front of it.

Eggplant sighed:

"It doesn't matter whether he belongs to the tree of the world or the tree of power. The key is how to get in? If there is a stone wall in the back, I think I can try to shoot it twice. If it is a tree, I feel that there is no hope for the past."

Eggplant is right, if it is a stone wall, there is the possibility of traps, but it is difficult to enter or pass through a living tree.

Song Qian asked:

"Maybe there is a tree hole on it or somewhere, do you want me to climb up and have a look?"

At this time, Chen Ke suddenly turned around and asked:

"Ji Ge, do you know the story of Odin getting wisdom from the World Tree?"

Ji Han nodded and said:

"Anyone who has read Nordic mythology should know that in order to bring the fountain of wisdom into the world of the gods, Odin, the king of the gods, sacrificed his right eye and hung himself upside down on a tree nine times without eating or drinking. Day and night, the body was stabbed by branches and long hairs, and finally got the words and wisdom of Runas."

After talking about Ji Han, he still did not forget to jokingly ask:

"Chen Ke, don't you want to stab me blind in one eye and hang me on a tree for nine days?"

Chen Ke waved his hands and said:

"No, no, how dare, I was wondering if there is any hint?"

"The reminder is enough, after all, this is not the tree of the world."

Speaking of reminders, Ji Han suddenly remembered the Zhenyue Sword he was carrying.

Since this tree is also a living body, it may be possible to obtain relevant information through Zhenyue Sword's Alien Eye skill.

Thinking of Ji Han turning around and pulling out the Zhenyue sword, facing the giant tree in front of him, he put the sword in front of his eyes, and asked Song Qian, Chen Ke and Eggplant to help them use the flashlight.

As the shape of the giant tree entered the frame, Ji Han finally saw the information of the giant tree and the reminder from the eyes of the alien race.

【Earth ancestor looking for wood】

[Explanation: The legendary giant tree, Miaomiao Xunmu, was born by the river. 】

[Information obtained from the effect of the alien's eye: This tree can absorb rocks and civil engineering, and is in a state of deep sleep all year round. 】

It was only then that Ji Han remembered that this thing was not a world tree at all, but the legendary giant tree in the "Shan Hai Jing" that he had read before.

Chapter 379 Letting the Blood Lead the Way

"This is Earth Ancestor Xunmu."

"Brother Han, what do you think this is?"

"I've seen it before. This giant tree is recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" and is called Xun Mu."

When Eggplant heard that Ji Han knew about it before, he asked excitedly:

"So you know the entrance?"

Ji Han shook his head and said:

"It still doesn't work. What I know so far is that this tree can absorb rocks and civil engineering, and it has been dormant for a long time, so there are no other clues about the entrance."

"Fuck, this is really troublesome. We can't get in without any reminder."

Song Qian continued:

"The most important thing is that the Pre-Qin Nine Star Mirror did not give any hints on how to go next."

Song Qian was right. Usually, the reminders in the Nine Stars Mirror of the Pre-Qin Period are very specific, especially Ji Han's last time in the Dead Head Canyon in Xiangxi Province can prove this point.

The person who recorded the content must have considered that future generations will find the divine pillar based on these scenes, so the places that need to be reminded are basically recorded.

But this time it was very strange, not only did the image in the bronze mirror lose signal distortion twice, it seemed to be disturbed by something.

Moreover, the reminder this time is also endless, and the video ends here. Could it be that there is another way to really find the divine pillar?

Chen Ke looked back at the stone pillar behind him and said:

"It's not that there are no hints at all, Brother Ji, do you still remember that the last shot of the mirror was on a blood-red ghost face?"

Eggplant couldn't hold back and lit another chimney:

"But we walked all the way, but we didn't see any grimaces emerging from the pillars? We only saw an arm, and it was broken."

Ji Hanxin said yes, judging from the situation in the stone pillar just now, the corpses inside the pillar were basically completely decayed.

Could it be that the clues recorded with the Pre-Qin Nine-Star Mirror have disappeared due to the changes of the millennium?

Song Qian took a flashlight to shine on the root system above her head that could not be seen and said:

"Brother Han, will the entrance be somewhere above our heads that we can't see? Or can you try to shoot another lighting arrow?"

"Wait, let me think about it."

Ji Han knew that this was not the way to go. Although Song Qian's guess was reasonable, there was no basis for saying that the entrance was at the top.

So after hesitating for a moment, Ji Han decided to follow the prompt in the bronze mirror:

"In this case, let's look for the ghost face that appeared at the end of the bronze mirror first. I remember that it should be a blood-red stone pillar. Let's look in along the nearest few."

Chen Ke suggested:

"Why don't we split up? Brother Ji and I went to find the stone pillar that appeared in the bronze mirror. Brother Ji, you and Song Qian looked up."

"Don't don't don't, I'd rather suffer a little more and don't act separately. In case of any special situation, I can't deal with it in time."

Ji Hanxin said that many characters in horror movies and horror games died because they acted separately. This kind of mistake must not be made.

Still led by Chen Ke's drone, the four of them plunged back into the group of stone pillars again.

Fortunately, there were not so many blood-red stone pillars, so the four of them searched from the center to the right first.

Eggplant pointed to the stone pillar with blood hanging beside him and said:

"Just now I have been feeling that something is wrong, the blood on this stone pillar is really fresh."

Indeed, as Eggplant said, I don’t know if it’s because of the change in light, but the blood red on the stone pillars is more vivid.

"That's nothing. Isn't the white slime inside the tree roots always fresh? Maybe these nearby corpses haven't completely decayed under the support of the roots."

Song Qian reminded:

"Chen Ke, just let us check the nearby pillars. You can use a drone to see the rows next to it."

Chen Ke grabbed Ji Han's back with one hand, looked down at the screen and responded:

"Don't worry, it's very clear, huh? Wait a minute!"

As he spoke, Chen Ke suddenly stopped in place.

Eggplant laughed:

"What? Did you see which pillar stretched out its arm again?"

Chen Ke kept staring at the screen and didn't speak. Song Qian also wanted to ask, but was stopped by Ji Han, thinking that this guy must have discovered something again.

After staring at the screen for four or five seconds, Chen Ke suddenly whispered excitedly:

"Rely, rely on, move for real!"

Seeing Chen Ke's cautious appearance, Ji Han didn't dare to ask loudly:

"What moved?"

Chen Ke pointed to the front left and said:

"At that position, the outermost stone pillar moved! When I saw it move for the first time just now, I thought it was an illusion."

The four of them looked at each other tacitly, and no one spoke. Eggplant pointed to the gap on one side, made a past gesture, and then quietly walked towards the problematic stone pillar that Chen Ke mentioned.

With the previous experience of dealing with the stone pillars that made weird noises, the four of them were not so scared this time.

They touched the side together, and the eggplant patted Ji Han, motioning for the two to go to the other side together and surround them to see what's going on.

But as the two lowered their bodies and came to the back of the blood-red stone pillar, they were surprised to find that there was a big hole on the back of the pillar.

The entire pillar looked like unfired soft clay, a big hole was torn open on the back, and blood was still dripping down from the hole.

Eggplant hastily turned around and reminded:

"Be careful, come here quickly, the things inside have already escaped!"

Chen Ke was startled when he heard it. When he was surrounded, he didn't have time to look at the screen in his hand. Maybe in this short period of time, the things inside had already come out.

The two were running over, but Song Qian suddenly noticed a shadow passing by the stone pillar behind the eggplant.

"Eggplant, behind you!"
