The power is stronger than the people. I can't even imagine how difficult it is to follow the path.
Dong Xueyan complained silently in his heart.
Immediately, he walked straight into the open door.
However, when the uncle behind him saw that the "gate" was only 1.7 meters in front of him, he couldn't help but reveal a strange look in his eyebrows, and he stepped forward with his feet.
But seeing Tu Bo's figure shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, he followed in immediately.
The space behind the door is quite wide, with an upward spiral staircase. Dong Xueyan's figure flashed around the corner, and Tu Bo stepped onto the wooden ladder with relaxed steps.
Compared to Tu Bo's leisurely attitude, Dong Xueyan was so filled with hatred that his teeth itched at the moment.
Although the gate was not damaged, all the defensive traps arranged inside had disappeared. It was obvious whose handiwork it was.
After a while, Dong Xueyan reached the top floor.
The moment your feet hit the ground and stand still.
Wow~
Suddenly there was a slight sound of water in the dark space.
Immediately, a faint light was seen rising from in front of Dong Xueyan, slowly revealing its outline. It was a glass box five meters long and wide, and the light burst out from the inside.
If you get closer and take a closer look, you will be surprised to find that the shimmer itself is actually a kind of plankton that looks like a crystal lantern, and there are hundreds or thousands of them.
Perhaps the individual rays of light are not bright, but when they are connected together, they suddenly become dazzling and directly illuminate the dark space!
Various experimental instruments and equipment are placed on the table next to it. There is also a row of standing specimens of ferocious beasts on the wall on the left, which are quite well preserved and look lifelike.
An imperceptible sigh rolled out from between Dong Xueyan's teeth. He opened a small wooden jar on the table with familiarity, grabbed a handful of fine particles and sprinkled it into the water jar.
But seeing those plankton swarming in immediately, the handful of particles were divided up in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Dong Xueyan grabbed another handful and threw it into the water tank.
These days, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Demon-Winged Ape, he has been hiding here and there. He has not been able to return here for a long time. It seems that these little guys are starving.
After eating and drinking, tiny creatures that look like chandeliers swim freely in the water.
Dong Xueyan subconsciously took a closer look.
Suddenly, a gray rat face appeared on the glass. The knotted hair was covered with solidified blood stains. It looked very embarrassed.
Dong Xueyan's gray-green eyes dimmed, and he seemed to have seen something. He straightened his back and said angrily: "You walked over and there was really no movement at all."
I saw the opposite glass also showed a tiger face, with a pair of sharp horns, adding a bit of power and domineering.
Their eyes met across Plankton.
Tu Bo grinned and asked curiously: "Where did you find these novelties?"
"There are many incredible beasts and creatures in this forest."
Dong Xueyan walked away from the glass water tank and took off his feather coat. His thin and downy body was immediately exposed to the light. He carefully placed the feather coat on the workbench next to him and said: "They have formed a unique set of feathers. The law of the jungle of its own.
"As long as you take the time and energy to understand it, you can find your own way of survival."
Tu Bo then straightened up, looked at Dong Xueyan's back, nodded with a smile and said: "You are indeed an expert. He speaks in one way, which is much better than those beasts that drink hair and blood."
Dong Xueyan paused when he heard this.
For a moment, he said without looking back: "Fan Siguo, how do you know him?"
"Want to know?
"Tell you it's okay."
Tu Bo grabbed the stool next to him with his big hand, sat down, and put his hands on his knees: "But there are conditions. I also have some questions, and I want to find someone to answer them."
"It seems we each get what we need."
At some point, Dong Xueyan had already put on a pair of experimental glasses, with a serious expression on his face. He took out a bottle from a row of plastic bottles and carefully poured the transparent liquid inside onto Yuyi.
Wisps of electric sparks shot up.
But I saw pieces of blood scab slowly falling off the feathers.
The uncle at the back raised his eyebrows with interest and noticed that there was a transparent worm connecting each feather. The electric spark that just appeared was erupted from the body of the worm.
'Is this used as a line? 'Tubo thought.
In a short time, the entire feather coat was clean except for a few minor damages in a few places.
Dong Xueyan looked down at his equipment, with hesitation, entanglement, and determination to break the boat, with all sorts of ups and downs in his mind, and finally turned around to look at Tu Bo.
This time the difference in height between the two sides was almost negligible.
"Since it is cooperation, we should also be honest with each other."
Dong Xueyan looked serious, "What do you want to know?"
"There are so many things I want to know." Tu Bo smiled and said, "Besides, wanting to leave here is not a matter of time, so I just took this opportunity to open up."
Dong Xueyan nodded.
Tu Bo looked around and said straight to the point: "How did you transform the face-catching tree into this?"
The curiosity and inquiry in his words are undoubtedly evident.
And this is indeed Dong Xueyan's proud work. Being able to stay in the strange forest safely for decades depends entirely on this shelter.
He didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "If you want to know the reason, you have to find out what the face-catching tree is."
Tubo listened quietly.
"The strange forest can also be called a forest floating on the sea from another perspective."
Dong Xueyan continued: "The most important thing is that the face-catching trees take root in the turbid sea and absorb the energy of inner demons to grow and grow. This is their way of survival, and it also protects the ferocious beasts living here.
"Oh, that's why this place is called the Strange Forest."
Tubo touched his chin with interest. "I didn't expect there to be such a reason."
Regarding this point, he didn't think deeply about it.
"The face-catching tree absorbs the energy of inner demons, and it will inevitably possess all kinds of weird and terrifying abilities."
Dong Xueyan put the feather coat back on and pressed the button hidden under the table. A glass bottle rose up, with several brown wooden branches inside swaying and twisting like living creatures.
"They will also hunt the prey that is approaching. The sticks protruding out are its most powerful weapons, which can make the prey confused and poisoned, and can also absorb all the blood essence."
At this point, Dong Xueyan's conversation suddenly changed:
"But you must have seen and known that as long as no big movement is made, the Face Catcher Tree will not wake up from the chaos. The Demon Winged Ape can swing back and forth on it, which is evident."
"According to what you said, how did you do all this?" Tu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Success is the devil in the heart, and failure is the devil in the heart."
Dong Xueyan said methodically: "Due to the influence of the inner demon's energy, the face-catching tree has a certain degree of consciousness, but it spends more than ninety-five percent of its time sleeping.
"This is its biggest weakness, which means that it is almost an experiment that will always stand there and not move. I spent a lot of time finding flaws to control it!"
Without any warning, a wooden face poked out from Tu Bo's head.
His facial features were blurred and his eyes were closed.
"Its consciousness is not intangible."
There was a different kind of brilliance in Dong Xueyan's eyes, "This face is the core. As long as you can control it, it is easy to build a laboratory in the tree."
When Tu Bo heard this, his smile suddenly became meaningful.
Looking at these frank words, it seems that the person in front of me has figured it out.
Although Tu Bo did find Dong Xueyan's lair before, he did not violently damage the important items inside and basically kept them intact. However, the core of consciousness of the face-catching tree was not discovered at the same time.
These uncles could all detect Dong Xueyan's distrust and vigilance, and even his imminent murderous intention, but naturally they would not take it seriously due to his strength.
Dong Xueyan's emotional changes are also reasonable.
Although he did not fully explain how he found the core of the face-catching tree's consciousness and how he controlled it, having this wooden face appear in front of Tu Bo showed his true sincerity.
This is when cooperation begins.
"You answered my question, then it's my turn."
Tu Bo talked about the issue that Dong Xueyan is most concerned about at present. "About that Fan Siguo..." (End of Chapter)
