Chapter 125 Dragon's Blood Tree and Grunt
The general soil color is either brown or yellow, or blue-black, occasionally, such as the soil near a volcano is another kind of oil black.
But the color of the soil in front of Duke was as bright as blood, and it was slightly darker. Such a color seemed to be covered by countless blood. Just looking at it from a distance, Duke felt tingling in his heart. What kind of place was this?
Moreover, there are no special marks on the map, but some trees called "Dragon Blood Tree" were drawn nearby, but there are no marks saying that the soil in this place is so gloomy.
Fortunately, the ones I saw in front of me did not have a strange or unpleasant smell, otherwise Duke would have doubted whether there was real blood flowing here.
Duke was curious about this strange place, and he wanted to find out.
As I went deeper and deeper, the color of the soil on the ground became more and more familiar with it, but it did not turn completely black, and there was still some red in that color. In addition, some vague shadows also entered Duke's sight.
After getting closer, Duke saw that the shadows were independent trees.
It is actually Duke's guess because he can tell the trunk and the canopy. But what is surprising is that from a distance, the tree is very similar to a mushroom. Its branches and leaves do not spread out irregularly around, but are like mushrooms, all shrinking at the top, and no other branches can be found on the trunk, just like neatly repaired garden pots, but these are much larger.
However, when Duke stood in front of these "dragon blood trees", he was truly shocked.
The dragon blood tree is a weird red overall, and apart from red, no other colors can be found on the whole tree, as if it was watered by blood. It is about 30 meters high, and the area where the crown is stretched is large enough, and the diameter range is far beyond its height.
Duke walked under the tree, touched it with his hands, and then knocked it again. He found that the tree was not that scary. The red and bright red ones were not formed on the surface, but were revealed from the inside and from the outside, and the surface was not sticky. Moreover, the trees were very hard, and when they were knocked on, it made a bang sound, which shows that these dragon blood trees were not as Duke imagined, and they made a living by absorbing blood.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from above Duke's head. Then a small red particle like a rain curtain fell.
Fortunately, these small particles are very small, and even if they hit the head, they won't hurt much. However, there are countless small, small, but not sharp thorns on the red particles, making these small particles stick to the body and it is difficult to throw them off.
But behind the rain scene of the red particles, Duke clearly saw a white figure flashing by.
The difference between white and red is too big, and it is difficult not to notice it. But this figure is also very small, so small that Duke feels it is only the size of his own fist, like a small mouse.
When the white little figure flashed, the red rain curtain immediately stopped. However, the same rain curtain immediately fell in another place, and Duke also saw the white figure in the vertical direction of that place.
It is not difficult to imagine that these red particles are the white figure, which resulted in the result.
If it was just a small red particle that was dropped by natural phenomena, Duke would endure it, but if it was not something else and was deliberately done, it would be a different story.
It must be seized, not let go.
Duke immediately casts a light aura on himself, lightening his body weight, and then applies another floating technique to come out.
Sumer's Armor had long been put away by him. If it weren't for the critical moment, Duke would not be willing to use it. In addition to its special magic, it would not be conducive to training his own purpose.
With the help of some gaps between the thick trunks of the Dragon Blood Tree, Duke easily climbed to the edge of the canopy.
When he reached the edge of the canopy, Duke discovered that another characteristic of the Dragon Blood Tree was that these branches and leaves were concentrated together, and they were very dense and intertwined. Even if he saw a branch outside here, if he went a little bit, he would immediately block it. After seeing the line of sight, the distance that could be seen through would not exceed one meter. Moreover, the distance between the branches was very narrow. After just looking at it casually, Duke felt that it was difficult for his hand to reach in. In this case, he wanted to find the white figure, even if the color contrast between the two was very obvious, it would be a very difficult thing.
But who is Duke? The harder it is to do, the more things that cannot be done, will inspire his fighting spirit.
Since you can't see the eyes and cannot detect the situation inside the tree canopy, there is still magic.
Magic is also part of the body. It can make practitioners feel every change in their body, and to a certain extent, they can use it to perceive the outside world.
Of course, Duke mobilized a magic power and poured out along his fingertips. Slowly, this magic power subdivided more tiny magic lines. Duke pushed forward, and these magic powers immediately walked through some gaps in the canopy.
As magic continued to pour in, Duke gradually built a vague canopy shape in his mind.
"Where is it? The little thing is coming out soon."
Duke muttered in his heart, and continued to deliver magic and explored more places.
Five minutes passed, and nothing was found except knowing that the red particles were seeds born from the leaves of the dragon blood tree.
Ten minutes later, Duke only further understood the size of the dragon blood tree based on the original basis. He still did not find anything else.
Fifteen minutes...
Twenty minutes...
Thirty minutes...
Still no discovery.
At this time, Duke's magic power was about to cover the entire tree.
"Bastard, I don't believe that I can't find you, damn it."
At this time, Duke's stubborn temper came up again. He was still frantically transporting magic power into the tree crown. Even if the magic power in his body had been consumed by two-tenths, he had no intention of stopping.
At this moment, a white figure was hanging above Duke's head. Its long tail hooked a branch and looked at Duke in a handstand. Its dark eyes were looking at Duke, and it seemed particularly interesting when Duke closed his eyes and frowned.
After being stared at this white figure for a while, Duke finally felt something different.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw the pair of dark eyes staring at him.
In those eyes, he was full of interest in Duke's exploration, and seemed to want to know what Duke looked like. This was also Duke's thought at this time.
"Why does this guy look like a mouse? But his body is so small. No wonder he can shuttle between such dense branches. Moreover, the guy's tail is so long, it seems to be about five times that of his body. What is its name? Why is this kind of monster not marked on the map?"
When Duke thought about this, he didn't move any more, just staring at the other person, motionless, and blinking.
But at this time, Duke blinked naturally.
And the white little guy seemed to be frightened. His tail flickered, and his white figure flashed and disappeared from Duke.
However, Duke had infused a lot of magic power between the canopy, and only this small area on his head was ignored.
At this time, isn’t this white guy breaking in?
Like a little mouse, Duke can clearly sense its position no matter where he goes.
When it was about ten meters away, and felt something chasing behind it, it stopped and turned to look at Duke.
However, the branches were tied together, and there was no sign of Duke at all, so it slowly moved towards Duke along the way.
Seeing this scene, Duke couldn't help but smile, "It seems that this little guy is quite playful, but he doesn't have any magical aura on his body, and I don't know how strong he is."
When the white little guy was less than one meter away from Duke, he was finally able to see Duke within sight, and when he saw him, he finally stopped.
The distance of about nine meters just now was not enough to be scared and escaped from it, but it was more than ten times slower.
After seeing Duke, the little guy showed a smile on his face, and Duke still maintained his original position, but his eyes were opened, and Duke also blinked his eyes a few times on purpose.
When he saw Duke blinking, the little guy blinked a few times to respond to Duke.
After the two sides blinked their eyes and "communicated", the little guy seemed to be sure that Duke was not threatening and moved a little to Duke.
At this time, Duke carefully observed that the little guy's movement was very interesting.
It actually moved by its tail. I don’t know if it could only move like this or it likes to "bounce". It first supports its tail on the branch, bent it into a "U" shape, and then bounces hard, and its small body jumps forward with the elastic force of its tail when it stretches out to complete a move. Its tail seems to be its "foot". The position of each bounce falls seems to be strictly calculated. When it is about to fall, the tail always touches the branch, and will use the tail to remove the power of the bounce and land steadily at the position it wants.
"It's amazing. This little guy has feet and hands, but he wants to move like this. It's really interesting."
Duke thought this little guy was very interesting in his mind.
"Gurl!"
