The number of silverfish is almost uncountable. There were only a few residual leaves left on the originally lush leaves, and there was no intact leaf on the branches. The trees were full of silverfish, like a black tide, running rampant without any scruples.
Ye Ning saw that the silverfish had even climbed from the branches to the thick trunk, and the number of silverfish there was even more astonishing. They busily shuttled back and forth on the tree trunks, some drilling small holes in the trunks, and some moving in and out of the holes, as if building their own homes.
The number of silverfish is huge, and they are no longer just parasitic on branches and leaves. They climbed up the tree trunks and even penetrated deep into the core. In every tree line, there are silverfish climbing, chewing the trees, digging small holes, building nests and multiplying, forming a shocking picture.
The lines of the human-faced tree are like natural roads, and silverfish are shuttled among them. Each road is like a small world, with silverfish climbing on it and biting the flesh of the tree. At some intersections of lines, silverfish even gather in swarms, like a busy market, bustling with activity.
On the human-faced tree, silverfish are like black ripples, everywhere. They run across the tree trunks and dig maze-like passages under the bark, leaving the entire tree full of traces of the activities of these small creatures. Silverfish are mostly black or brown and have different shapes. Some crawl like small insects, some are long and flat, and use their sharp teeth to chew inside the wood. Some are busy building nests and laying eggs in tree holes.
These silverfish have even eroded into the core of the human face tree. He could see that the silverfish were busy working in the core of the tree, some digging holes and some building nests. They seemed to have regarded this ancient tree as their own kingdom and lived extremely prosperously.
This human-faced tree seemed huge and magnificent, but it gradually became weak due to the erosion of silverfish. Its bark has been chewed by silverfish and is uneven, and the trunk is covered with tiny holes, which makes people feel distressed. The silverfish community here has established a huge ecosystem, but it has caused huge damage to the human face tree.
Silverfish are not content with just climbing on the outside, they burrow into the body of the human-faced tree, leaving the tree riddled with holes. Many small holes can be clearly seen on the tree trunks. These small holes are not naturally formed, but are holes drilled by silverfish. Next to these caves, there are often fine wood chips piled up, which are the debris left after silverfish eat the trees.
Under some of the thicker bark, silverfish build actual nests. In those nests, thousands of silverfish thrive, creating a complex ecosystem inside the tree. Adults, larvae, eggs, and silverfish in various life cycles are all in these nests, and they depend on each other for survival.
These silverfish have established their homes and businesses here, and this ecosystem is very "prosperous". Both cities and neighborhoods have been established in minutes.
Li Yishuang also came over curiously. Facing this tragic situation and seeing these "prosperous" scenes, she couldn't help but feel shocked and uneasy. She couldn't help but feel helpless and angry. Only Ye Ning's mind was still filled with the four words "it's your own fault."
But there is no way, even if all this is done by Renmian Shu himself, as long as the big leader Xinghun above speaks, Ye Ning will have to wipe his ass. It's really helpless. This is a trap that was stabbed by a pig teammate, and I have to bring someone who can move to save it.
Ye Ning walked gently to the human face tree, took a deep breath, then patted the face that looked like a real person, and said firmly: "I am not in the human world, so I don't have what you imagine. Pesticides and other tools in it. But I have my own powers, which can help you get rid of those silverfish that destroy you, but...it may cause some pain, so you have to hold on."
There was a hint of hesitation and worry on the face of the human-faced tree, but after taking a deep breath, it seemed to have made a decision and nodded slowly. Ye Ning saw this scene and knew that he had made up his mind.
Ye Ning closed his eyes, took a deep breath, slowly clasped his hands together, and then a golden flame began to condense between his palms. The flame danced between his palms, emitting a dazzling light, and the temperature was so hot that it seemed to have the power to burn everything.
The human-faced tree clearly felt the power of this flame. That originally
Its deep eyes were full of fear at this moment, and its face was obviously distorted, as if it was frightened by the scene in front of it. It screamed: "What is fire? Fire...fire will burn me! Stay away from me!"
Seeing the reaction of the human-faced tree, Ye Ning quickly stopped what he was doing. The flames slowly disappeared, and he showed a hint of embarrassment. The face of the human-faced tree was full of fear, and fear actually leaked out of those human eyes.
The people who were eaten probably had this expression at the end of their lives. Ye Ning thought so.
Ye Ning looked at the human-faced tree affectionately and said firmly: "I know you are afraid of fire, but those silverfish are also afraid of fire. Please believe me, my ability to control flames is enough to ensure that you will not be harmed. On the contrary, it will Get rid of all the silverfish for you."
Every word he spoke was so sincere and full of determination and persistence. His eyes shone with determination, as if even if the whole world said no to him, he would use actions to prove his determination.
After hearing this, the human-faced tree showed worry and uneasiness in its eyes. Obviously, Ye Ning's words had dealt a heavy blow to it. It is more afraid of silverfish than flames. If you allow these silverfish to live in your body, what will happen to you? How can you accept such pain?
The human-faced tree thought for a while and finally made a decision. Like a warrior who sacrificed his life for righteousness, it looked at Ye Ning with fearful and determined eyes, obviously ready. It gritted its teeth, and its human face was distorted in pain. Every slight change told Ye Ning that it had made up its mind.
Finally, the human-faced tree spoke. Although his voice was small, it conveyed unyielding and tenacity: "Okay, come on!"
The voice was full of pain and despair, but also firm and decisive. It was obvious that it had prepared for the worst.
Ye Ning's eyes focused, and under his precise control, the golden flame in his hand danced as if it were alive. They were no longer mindless burning powers, but turned into dexterous flame elves. Under Ye Ning's guidance, they performed an unparalleled dance for the human-faced tree.
The air in the forest seemed to freeze because of this scene, and every creature was holding its breath. Every movement of Ye Ning's fingertips was filled with incomparable concentration and precision. He was like a rigorous conductor, and the flames were the best band under his command.
The golden flame elves jumped lightly on the trees. Wherever they went, silverfish screamed and fled. The flames don't actually touch the surface of the tree, but dance just centimeters away from it, and the heat forces the silverfish nowhere to hide.
Under Ye Ning's control, these flames seemed to have eyes. They bypassed every leaf and bud of the tree, only chasing the silverfish that were raging on the tree. Silverfish scream in fear, they run for their lives, but no matter where they hide, the flames always find them, and no one escapes.
The Human-Faced Tree could feel that the silverfish that had once made it miserable were being cleared away one by one, and for the first time, its face full of pain showed an expression of relief. Although the flames frightened him, this unprecedented sense of relief also brought a bit of anticipation to his fear.
All of this is under Ye Ning's control. He can feel the fear of the human-faced tree, and he can also feel its expectations. There was no trace of relaxation on his face, only determination and concentration. He knew that this was not just a struggle, but also a test of trust.
The flames danced and continued their miracles. And the forest, a place that has witnessed countless ups and downs of life, was also moved by it, feeling that the disease was finally cured.
While the flames were working their miracles, some of the toughest silverfish chose to fight to the death. They abandoned the branches and leaves and fled into the holes that had been dug in the human face tree. The straight tree trunks seem to have become their shelter, and the flames from the outside cannot reach them.
Ye Ning frowned tightly, knowing that he couldn't let these silverfish parasitize the human face tree. As a result, his flames began to become more flexible, and they penetrated into the holes of the tree trunk like filaments, preparing to remove all the remaining silverfish.
However, this operation inevitably caused the tree to feel pain. It screamed like a pig being roasted by a hot iron. Under the burning of the flames and the bites of silverfish, the human-faced tree shouted again and again: "It hurts! Slow down, be gentle."
point! ” Its voice penetrated the forest and disturbed many trees, but the flames did not stop.
Ye Ning's expression was solemn. He knew that this was necessary. In order to completely remove the silverfish, the flames must be allowed to penetrate deep into the trunk of the tree. He didn't look back or stop, he just stared straight ahead and controlled the flames with all his strength to continuously clean up the silverfish.
The human-faced tree screamed in the scorching heat of the flames, and the expression on its face became ferocious with demonic pain. It struggled, but was afraid of touching the flames, so it could only endure the indescribable pain quietly.
The air of the forest seemed to be stretched taut, and there was only the sound of the crackling fire and the scream of the human-faced tree. Every creature watching feels sorry for the human-faced tree, but knows that this is a test that must be experienced.
As for Li Yishuang, looking at the face of the human-faced tree with wailing and pain, she couldn't help but think wrongly when looking at this scene. Then he hid aside and stopped watching, with a slight blush rippling on his face.
