Yi Liuling followed Myrter to the backyard. In addition to a well, there was also a very strange thing.
"Hey, is this a door tree?" Yi Liuling walked up to that thing. It was a horizontal piece of wood ten centimeters above the ground. There were roots on both ends, deeply pierced into the soil. From a distance, it looked like a tree. I thought it was a single-plank bridge for children to play on.
This plant is born like this, with no branches or leaves. Its width is fixed from birth, but it will grow taller and taller, and finally become a door frame-like form. It is said that this door tree is not only named because of its resemblance in appearance, but it will actually turn into a portal when it matures. As for where this door leads, I don't know.
"Yes, I discovered it when I first moved here," Myrtle passed by carrying his toolbox, "so I decided to build the house here."
Yi Liuling nodded. It would take at least several hundred years for the door tree to grow into the world. He estimated that he would not be able to see it, so he stopped asking questions and walked to the side of Myrter to observe.
Melt dragged a small bench and sat down next to the tree stump used for chopping firewood, then picked up a piece of firewood. A white light flashed in his palm, and the firewood stood firmly on the tree stump.
Yi Liuling noticed that he did not hold the axe, but took a deep breath and then suddenly bent forward.
The sharp long horn struck down like this, splitting the firewood into two halves.
"Oh wow," Yi Liuling praised, "What a great neck and waist."
"That's right." Myrtle said humbly, and then continued to deal with the next piece of firewood.
Yi Liuling looked aside for a while, pointed to the pile of firewood that had reached his waist and asked, "Are these for use?"
"Oh, no," Myrtle said, "This is the firewood I will use for cooking. I want to warm it up first, so I chopped it on the way."
After saying that, he stood up and asked Yi Liuling to come with him.
"Then I'll go..." Yi Liuling turned around and wanted to say hello to Kun Yi, but found that this guy had already gotten into his sleeping bag to rest. He was really sleeping at every opportunity.
Yi Liuling and Melt walked into the forest. As they went deeper and deeper, the appearance of the surrounding trees also changed, from emerald green to gray. The trunks and leaves were all the same color, and the overall look was very... distortion.
This kind of tree looked a bit familiar. Yi Liuling quickly recalled that if their leaves were removed and then turned black, wouldn't they be the ones she saw on the tongue of the nightmare beast Waibi Waibi? Tree?
Melt suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Yi Liuling: "Have you noticed that the trees here have changed?"
"Uh, I found it." Yi Liuling replied honestly.
"Sure enough," Myrtle raised his eyebrows, "As soon as I saw you, I knew you were a semi-spirit."
Yi Liuling was becoming more and more curious about the physique of the semi-spiritual body, but when he was about to speak, he was stopped by Myrtle: "Don't ask me, I just know this physique, because I am unique. The bloodline of the horned beast has mutated."
"Mutations?"
Melt scratched the horn on his forehead with his nails, then stretched his hand in front of Yi Liuling, who saw some white particles between his nails.
"Are your horns dyed?" Yi Liuling was stunned for a moment.
Myrtle smiled mockingly: "Yes, it was dyed with dye. My original horns were colorless. My father didn't like them very much, so he asked me to dye them."
Judging from Myrter's tone, it seems that he is not very close to his family. It's no wonder that he doesn't want to return to his tribe.
"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore," Myrtle quickly adjusted. "In short, my bloodline is the same as Xiao Yi's Rainbow Unicorn. It is a mutant species. You can call it Soul Unicorn. I have some comparisons with souls." Strong perception."
Soul unicorn? Yi Liuling thought thoughtfully: "So are these trees related to you?"
"No, this is how it is, it's just that I choose to live here," Myrtle pointed at the trees, "the names of these trees are Nightmare's Tombstones."
Is this the nightmare's tombstone? He knew the name Yi Liuling as soon as he mentioned it. He had seen it in the plant encyclopedia, but because of the special nature of this tree, there was no picture, so he didn't recognize it at first.
It is said that the tombstone of the nightmare is not a real tree, but a special manifestation in the dream, which is the different dimension where the nightmare beast lives.
When the Nightmare Beast is alive, the Nightmare Tombstone is in the state of a dead branch. When it dies, the Nightmare Tombstone growing on it will absorb the nutrients from the corpse and become leafy.
Of course, if the nightmare beast is not pulled into the dream space, only people with special physiques can see this kind of tree. Ordinary people passing by this place will only see an ordinary forest.
The specific purpose of the nightmare tombstone is not detailed in the book. After all, explorers basically have very tough nerves and are not easily pulled into dreams by nightmare beasts. The only introductions were that a certain explorer encountered a major problem and damaged his mental power, so he had the opportunity to see it, and the ones he saw were withered ones, because dead nightmare beasts are harder to find.
But from the way Yi Liuling looked at Myrter, he must know how to use it.
"The soul dolls I make are made of this kind of wood. Most people can't cut them off, but I can." Myrter pointed to the horns on his forehead, "Okay, close your eyes and feel it. , choose one.”
Yi Liulingyi closed his eyes and entered the darkness. However, he saw a light spot in the darkness, so he walked in that direction and finally touched a tree.
He opened his eyes, and in front of him was a tree that was indistinguishable from the tombstones of other nightmares. However, when his hand touched the rough trunk, a strange sense of soul harmony came over him.
Yousheng suddenly stretched out a vine and whipped the tree.
"Pfft," Myrtle laughed, "It seems that your natal prop is jealous. You should stay away from other plants in the future and don't mess around with flowers."
Yi Liuling rolled her eyes: "Stop joking."
"Haha, did you choose this one?" Myrter confirmed for the last time. Yi Liuling nodded, and he kicked up and directly broke the nightmare tree's tombstone.
"Don't you use chopping?"
Melt smiled and retracted his leg: "Go back and chop again. It's easier to kick now."
"Young hero has good leg skills."
"No, no," Myrtle smiled even more happily, "Don't listen to those unicorns who are obsessed with saving face. We, the unicorn family, were originally horses, so our hind legs are very strong."
At this time, Kun Yi, the unicorn who wanted to save face, sneezed in his sleeping bag.
