To the west of Huipi Town is a vast forest.
The three of Xiaozhi completed the task of delivering the GS ball, and then took back the mated Heracross from Abi, and now they are leaving this town.
"Didi. Tonglin Forest, connecting Manjin City and Huipi Town, is the largest forest in the Chengdu area."
A few people were still on the trail on the outskirts of the town, and the illustrated book introduced them to the basic situation of the tung forest.
"Didi. It is said that the tung forest has a history of hundreds of years. The trees are dense and closed. Many places in it cannot get sunlight due to the dense branches and leaves. 95%+ of the tree types are tung trees."
In less than a few minutes, the three of them had reached the entrance of the tung forest.
This forest is almost connected to Huipi Town, with only a hundred meters in between.
The entrance to Tong Forest is a place similar to a cave entrance, only five or six people wide.
Surrounded by densely packed vines, it seems that it can only be entered through this entrance.
“95% are tung trees?”
After hearing the introduction of the illustrated book, several people couldn't help but be stunned.
There are very few forests with only a single tree species, right?
It’s not fun to have a lack of ecological diversity.
Like the Viridian Forest in their hometown, the various types of trees are simply a chaotic dance of demons. How could it be possible that 95% of them are the same kind of tree.
"Didi. Tung tree, scientific name is Wugangtong. The tree is hard and extremely difficult to burn, so it is also the best charcoal raw material."
"The charcoal made from the tung tree has strong and long-lasting firepower and will not explode with sparks. It is a specialty of the tung tree forest. It is famous in the Johto area and all over the world. Even the excellent charcoal can be used as a Pokémon Props used in battle.”
The key words are identified and the illustrated guide introduces them in detail.
Xiaozhi felt dizzy when he heard it. This kind of academic knowledge was not his strong point.
"Not easy to burn?"
Xiaogang actually showed a surprised look.
As far as he knew, the trees surrounding Junipe Town were also single trees, and most of them were called cypress trees.
The kind that catches on at once.
After identifying the key words, the illustration continued:
"Didi. Juniper is the local common name. The scientific name of this tree is Hinoki cypress. Due to its extremely high oil content, it is the most flammable tree and is often used to make fires."
“The bark of the cypress tree is mostly used by local residents as coverings on the tops of their houses, hence the name of the cypress town.”
Hearing this, even Xiaozhi, who was unaware of the situation, came to his senses.
The tung forest is full of trees that are not prone to burning.
But the areas around Juniper Town are filled with the most flammable trees?
Two completely opposite types of trees, but they are completely adjacent to each other.
Just draw a bar less than 100 meters in the middle to separate it?
"It doesn't look like a naturally formed landform..."
Xiaozhi couldn't help but murmured.
The three of them were stationed at the entrance of Tonglin Forest.
Looking at the forest in front of him, which had a somewhat gloomy atmosphere, Xiaozhi was actually a little confused.
"It's obviously right next to Huipi Town, why not call it Huipi Forest?"
For example, the forest next to their Joban City is called Joban Forest. It makes sense.
"It makes sense."
"really."
Xiaogang Xiaoxia nodded.
"Isn't it, the illustrated book? The forest should be named like this, right?" Xiaozhi asked again about the illustrated book.
The illustrated book was searched for a while, and within a few seconds, the answer was given.
"Didi. Indeed. The most famous forests in most areas are named after adjacent towns, such as Joban Forest in Joban City..."
"Fangyuan area, Chenghua Forest in Chenghua City..."
"Sinnoh region, EMI Forest in EMI City..."
"The Carlos region, the White Sandalwood Forest in White Tan City..."
There is a series of illustrations, giving a bunch of names, all of which are famous forests in other areas.
Then this tung tree forest is quite a riddle...
After thinking to no avail, it was getting late and the sun would set in five or six hours, so they had no choice but to quickly enter the entrance.
As for these random things, just treat them as coincidences.
...
Just as he was about to move forward, a rather dull sound came from the side of the entrance.
"Three young trainers~ Are you going to enter the tung forest?"
Several people looked up.
This is a green-haired old woman with a skinny face and she looks to be of a certain age.
But he looked very energetic, and his body was quite capable. He was dressed in brown linen clothes.
"I am the guardian of the tung forest. If you want to go in, please pay attention to the God of Time in the tung forest~"
The green-haired old woman reminded her kindly.
"God of Time?"
The three of them were stunned, obviously hearing this name for the first time.
What kind of rap god is this?
"Yes, in the tung forest, when your eyes are covered with green light and three bells ring, silently reciting the world you want to go to in your heart, the God of Time will take you through time and space to get there..."
Seeing the three people's eyes brightening, the old woman just smiled.
"Oh, but the last time I saw the God of Time was probably 40 years ago..."
"?"
Xiaozhi and the other three suddenly turned dark, so they still need to pay attention to the hammer.
They are not the protagonists. How can something happen once in 40 years be so easy!
Then the old woman handed Xiaozhi a piece of green bread, wrapped in paper, exuding a strange fragrance.
"Actually, what I want to say is, if you see a small ancestral hall on the roadside in the forest with a platform on it, please put this piece of bread on it. This is a sign of respect for the God of Time..."
After saying that, the old lady left slowly.
In the distance, you can still see a small wooden house built in that direction. It seems that the old woman is an old forest guard.
Several people looked confused. In the end, Xiaozhi could only put the piece of bread into his backpack and enter the tung forest.
...
As soon as we entered the forest, the surrounding light suddenly became dim, and most of the sunlight was blocked by the dense forest.
However, the air quality also improved by several levels in an instant, with a pleasant fragrance filling the air.
There are many lawns, surrounded by tall brown and black trees with similar appearance. These must be the so-called Wu Gang Tong trees.
Aren't there also a few Orb Silk Spiders, Ladybugs, and Pokémon like Paraster, strolling leisurely in the jungle?
"Ahhhh!! It's a forest of insects again!!"
Xiaoxia screamed immediately.
Immediately, the still quiet jungle was startled, and a few giant needle bees flew out.
"Xiaoxia, how can there be no forest without bugs?"
"You're so weird."
Xiaozhi Xiaogang just said it matter-of-factly.
Walking deeper into the forest, they are now obviously more interested in the God of Time that the old woman mentioned earlier.
There are gods living in this forest?
"Hey, hey, Pokédex, tell me, what kind of Pokémon is the God of Time?"
Xiaozhi immediately took out the illustrated book and squeezed the latter's labor force.
After a while of searching, the illustrated book also gave the answer.
"Didi. The God of Time, Dialga, is a legendary Pokémon in the Sinnoh region. However, he cannot actually control time. He can only slightly change the flow of time when he roars loudly. He is the legendary god of rap. ."
