NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33 Call for reinforcements
He prepared a total of 41 strips of cloth, which should be more than enough.
When he had used them all, he subconsciously looked up at the sky, still only seeing the dense canopy of the banyan tree. Looking back at the marks left on the cloth, there were no problems.
Every mark can be clearly seen and found.
Qin Niu was completely desperate this time.
I never thought there were such evil trees in the world. In the past, I only heard that willow and locust trees are prone to evil things because of their strong yin energy.
In Taoist books, it is often said that locust trees gather ghosts and willow branches fight ghosts.
Some Taoist priests who raised little ghosts would beat them with willow branches in order to force them to obey.
I’ve never heard of the evil banyan tree!
He definitely wouldn't sit still and took off the strips one by one, then changed the direction, walking backward this time.
Every time he stepped back a certain distance, he tied a piece of cloth around him.
As a result, he once again found in despair that it was almost impossible to get out under the big banyan tree.
It is as if the Tathagata Buddha's palm has shrunk the world into the 'palm' of this banyan tree, completely covering the sky with one hand.
Since you won't let me leave, then you can't blame me for killing you!
Qin Niu tried many methods but couldn't escape, and couldn't help but become anxious.
Feeling fierce in his heart, he walked straight towards the ancient banyan tree with his sword in hand.
Although its diameter is more than two meters and it is very difficult to cut it down, Qin Niu has no choice now. Even if I don't do anything today, I still have to cut it down.
It's weird, I can't get out, it seems like it will never end.
But it's very easy to get back under its trunk.
When you come to the tree and prepare to chop it down, you can deeply feel how strong it is.
The diameter of the tree is two meters, and its circumference is over six meters and two.
An adult's arms are spread out, and the length is about 1.7 to 1.8 meters. This ancient banyan tree cannot be hugged by three people.
I'll kill you later!
Qin Niu was always ruthless and didn't talk much. He took off the basket and threw it aside. Then he threw his arms away and slashed at the banyan tree with his sword.
boom!
The sword was slashed on the tree, the proficiency of the slashing martial arts was +0.01, and the blade was more than two inches deep.
One inch is approximately equal to 3.3cm, and two inches is 6.6cm.
This is a very scary depth.
The diameter of an adult's thigh is about ten centimeters near the knee, and the diameter at the base of the thigh is about fifteen or sixteen centimeters.
With this slash, thigh-thick trees can be chopped down with just two slashes.
If the explosive slash effect is achieved, it can be chopped down with one strike.
After he drew the knife, green juice flowed out again.
There was a lot of stains on the sword, and Qin Niu felt that the sword in his hand became excited again.
Bao Dao seems to like the blood of this ancient banyan tree very much!
Qin Niu thought of what Master Ou said, raising a sword means obeying the sword's preference.
A sword may have a way to raise it, and the sword raised in different ways will have different characteristics and abilities.
Just like a child, he is a blank slate when he is born. How his parents guide him will make a big difference in his future personality and way of doing things. Achievements will also vary.
Qin Niu found that the blood of this ancient banyan tree could be used to nourish a knife, and he was very happy.
But now he was trapped under the tree and couldn't get out, which frightened him again.
Don't leave it alone.
He swung his knife and slashed hard at the tree again.
boom!
A precise cut was made at the original wound.
After reaching a small level of success in slashing martial arts, one can already achieve accuracy, ruthlessness, and speed.
Knife after knife was struck at the tree, and green blood flowed down the tree.
Qin Niu's heart moved slightly. The blood of this ancient banyan tree might be a good thing.
The small jar containing bear meat for feeding termites is in the basket, so why not put a jar in it and keep it for the knife?
Thinking like this, he immediately took out a jar to collect the tree blood that flowed out.
In order to better catch the tree's blood, he slashed into the tree with one knife. He did not rush to draw the knife, but allowed the green blood to drip down along the blade of the sword.
The small jar comes right next.
It only took about half an hour to fill up.
Cover the mouth of the jar with a cork, put it back in the basket, and continue chopping down the tree.
Huh!
When he wanted to pull out the sword, he found that the sword seemed to be embedded.
Unable to pull it out.
It took a lot of effort to pull the sword out of the tree.
Fortunately, it's not deeply embedded, otherwise the knife wouldn't be able to be pulled out.
He didn't waste any more time, but continued to chop down the tree with his knife.
Hey, no, its wounds seem to have healed a lot!
Qin Niu discovered something even more sinister at this time.
The wound he made before was at least four or five inches deep, but when he cut it with just one knife, he found that the wound had become much shallower. Only two inches deep.
This shows that the tree has strong healing ability.
His heart sank to the bottom. If this inference was correct, he might never be able to chop down the tree.
Legend has it that there was a man named Wu Gang in the Moon Palace who was punished by the Jade Emperor for pursuing Fairy Chang'e. Wu Gang was very stubborn, and his love for Fairy Chang'e was even more steadfast. In order to convince the public, the Jade Emperor asked him to cut down an osmanthus tree in front of the Moon Palace. Whenever he cut down, Wu Gang was allowed to pursue Fairy Chang'e.
The sweet-scented osmanthus tree rejoins whenever it is cut down, but it cannot be cut down at all.
Wu Gang has been cutting down trees all his life.
Although this is just a myth, it also proves that there are indeed some trees in the world with super healing abilities.
The healing ability of this ancient banyan tree is not as terrifying as the osmanthus tree in the Moon Palace, but for the weak Qin Niu, this has become a huge obstacle to cutting down the ancient banyan tree.
He tried cutting for a while, but the wound on the tree remained five or six inches deep.
He also found that the deeper the cut, the stronger the tree's ability to heal.
I was completely in despair.
Wanting to cut down the tree became a luxury.
Not to mention cutting it down before dark, even if you cut it down for a lifetime, you won't be able to cut it down.
We can't sit still and wait for death. We must quickly find a way to save ourselves while it's still early.
Qin Niu estimated the time and found that it should be noon now.
There are still three hours before the sun goes down.
If he failed to escape within these three hours, he would probably be buried in the mountain forever.
Sitting under the tree, Qin Niu forced himself to calm down and thought about ways to get out of trouble.
Being reckless will definitely lead to death.
It didn't work to cut down the tree, nor to mark it with strips of cloth, nor to use the sun in the sky as a reference... I tried every conceivable method, but all failed.
Is there any other way to escape?
Qin Niu thought hard.
By the way, why did I forget the termites! Termites have their own ability to identify directions. They don't need any reference objects. Asking them to come in to help lead the way may help me get out of trouble.
It's just that it's a bit far away from the ant nest, probably at least five miles.
Their crawling speed is very slow, and under normal circumstances, worker ants cannot leave the colony, otherwise they will die quickly.
It's better to try it first than to sit and wait for death.
Qin Niu tried to contact the queen ant.
Maybe it's because the distance is too far, and the banyan tree is weird. It's like being covered in a shield under the tree.
This makes it more difficult for him to contact the ant colony.
Qin Niu was not discouraged, but closed his eyes and used the method of practicing Changchun Kung last night to keep his mind in an extremely calm state.
As he closed his eyes, the Changchun Gong practice method also started to operate automatically.
His mind went from restless and anxious to calm little by little.
A trace of cool energy actually entered the body from all directions, and the speed was more than ten times faster than bathing in the moonlight last night.
