Taming beasts starts with raising cats

"Back then, our ancestors of the tree people came here and discovered this land. We found that this land has extremely strong vitality. As long as we break branches and plant them on this land, there is a certain probability that they will grow into tree people."

Teacher Huang, who was following him, frowned.

"These are the tree people of this generation."

When he came to the tree people ranch, Bai Ye saw a dense patch of branches.

These branches were like rice seedlings in the fields, planted on the land, crooked and strange.

Some of the branches are growing well and have already had some "tree people" outlines.

But some are growing very slowly, or in other words, they look very rough.

"Are these... the tree people of this generation growing?" Bai Ye thought.

It feels a bit like planting trees in the desert in the previous life. Although the survival rate is not high, there are still a group of people who silently pay.

"They are the tree people of this generation."

"Those that are almost formed are basically unlikely to survive, while those that are not nearly formed are more likely to survive." Sanqianqi said.

Bai Ye frowned. He always felt that there was something wrong with what he said. "Did you say it the other way around?"

"No."

Sanqianqi said "honestly".

"The elders in the tribe all said that the tree people who have formed have devoted their energy to building their appearance and ignored the growth of their core. Their souls are not born complete, so it is difficult for them to survive. On the contrary, the rougher the appearance of the tree people, the more perfect their core souls are."

It said: "However, I was the tree person who was closest to forming. They all thought that I would not survive. No one thought that I would come out at the last moment."

Sanqianqi's eyes were dim.

It lowered its head, and the dense tree canopy made a rustling sound.

Two arms made of branches extended from both sides of the body, and Bai Ye noticed something special.

That is, although there are many tree people in this forest, in essence, the appearance and form of these tree people are not too much like "people".

It just has a rough human-shaped outline, such as the "eye frame" that can be roughly seen, the branches that can be seen like arms, the tree tumors that can be seen like noses, etc.

On the contrary, compared with other tree people, this Sanqianqi looks more like a real tree person.

"Let's go, the crown of the forest is not here." Sanqianqi said.

It led Bai Ye and the others to continue walking forward.

Walking along the yellow-brown, rugged ground under their feet.

Bai Ye felt that the land under his feet was a little strange, not like soil, nor like rock.

Bai Ye bent down and groped on the ground.

Feeling the feedback of the touch, Bai Ye's expression moved slightly.

He seemed to have guessed something.

"There is a tree under our feet." Sanqianqi saw Bai Ye's expression and said.

"What we are stepping on is the remains of the tree ancestor who opened up this secret realm."

Bai Ye was stunned and looked up.

At first glance, this mountain range that runs across the land... is a fallen giant tree?

How big was it when it was alive? Wouldn't it be truly covering the sky and the sun?

Bai Ye thought of the mythical Jianmu.

......

Mountain city, Ciqikou

As one of the most famous pedestrian streets in the mountain city, the flow of people here has never disappointed.

In recent years, Ciqikou has been rebuilt, and a new street has been built on the basis of the old street.

Compared with the original "food" street in the old street,

the new street includes a variety of elements such as Hanfu stores, coffee shops, bars, script-killing, etc., plus the magical 3D terrain with mountain city characteristics. Under the night sky, the buildings are staggered, and under the reflection of neon lights, the Hui-style architecture and the landscape are integrated.

In the huge pedestrian street, there are many pedestrians.

Suddenly, the mountains shook and the earth shook.

The black light column that fell from the sky enveloped the entire pedestrian street area.

When the light dissipated, it turned from night to incandescence.

This piece of land disappeared from its original place.

There was only an extremely huge deep pit left on the original site.

When the staff of the Municipal Affairs Bureau arrived, they blocked the vicinity with yellow cordons in an orderly manner.

This is the first time that such a thing has happened in a large and famous commercial street. The sinkhole incident had already been fermenting in secret, and this incident directly detonated the entire network.

Because it is a large commercial street, even at nine o'clock in the evening, the flow of people in the commercial street is still a terrifying number.

This time, at least tens of thousands of people are missing, and their relatives and friends are involved, so it is impossible to conceal it.

In addition to the previous sinkhole incident, the whole world is boiling over it, and mysterious disappearances or sinkholes in various places are constantly being exposed.

The senior inspector holding the phone reported the situation to the higher-ups.

"No missing persons have been found."

A van stopped, and the staff of the geological unit came out of the car with instruments bent over.

"It's impossible... Our mountain city has a special terrain, and it is almost impossible for collapse or earthquake to occur. How could this happen?" The old professor stood on the edge of the terrifying deep pit, looking at the scene in front of him and muttering to himself, puzzled.

"Professor, I suspect it may be the sinkhole incident that has been hot recently." The student next to the old professor said.

"Sinkhole incident?" The old professor obviously rarely goes online, and he doesn't know much about this.

The student hurried to explain to the professor.

In the past six months, mysterious sinkhole incidents have occurred in various parts of the world.

There will be irregular light columns falling from the sky, and the places covered by the light columns will disappear on the earth.

At least so far, no missing buildings or people have ever been found on the earth.

And this light column is like peeling skin, and the places covered by it will not only disappear buildings, people and animals.

Even the ground will be scraped off.

For example, in Ciqikou, in addition to the disappearance of buildings, even small hills are eaten away together. This is normal.

"This is not scientific." The old professor muttered to himself, his white eyebrows wrinkled into a ball.

"Professor, this is definitely not scientific, but this kind of fantasy thing can definitely not be explained by science." The student said.

"For example, in the community where I lived before, I heard that a family's son disappeared while working in another city. It is said that he was one of the first people to disappear."

"But later, the family disappeared mysteriously from the community. It is said that people from the police station came to check the cameras and found no footage of them leaving the community. There were four of them in the family, and the cameras in all directions of the community did not find any footage of them leaving. There was no light column from the sinkhole in the community. It felt like they suddenly disappeared from this world." The student sighed.

He still had an impression of that family.

A middle-aged couple, a boy who was slightly older than himself, and a pair of cute twin brothers and sisters.

The main reason was that the family was very good-looking, so he was impressed.

As a result, they disappeared mysteriously, and other residents in the community thought there was a ghost.
