Chapter 1 My house is in the tree house
The sun sets, and the fires burn the clouds in the sky, printing and dyeing them layer by layer, making them appear in various reds.
Some are red and purple, just like violet fire clouds, some are orange and red, bright yellow, like bright iris, and even more red and blue, which makes people indescribable...
Yunduo stood on a mountain that was neither tall nor short.
This mountain is one of the 100,000 mountains, with undulating mountains and hills in front of you.
He stood on the sunny side of the hillside. In front of the hillside was a giant valley, two kilometers wide on the left and right, with a depth of about ten kilometers. The slowly descending slope was velvety green grass, blooming with all kinds of flowers, and a few small streams meandered in the grass, and disappeared on the grass without head or tail.
These streams are natural streams washed by rain. Their birth may be due to springs, or the heavy rain, and their disappearance is due to lava seepage and adsorption of soil.
Such streams appear seasonally and often have no long lifespan. No one cares about their appearance, nor how they disappear.
The sunny slopes of the mountain are like this, while the shades are relatively steep. The trees are densely packed like tropical rainforests. The light in the forest is dim and gloomy and humid. From time to time, you can hear strange sounds that make people's hair and howls when fighting. Various trees grow crowded and cannot stand a secret, covered by branches and leaves in the sky, covered by vines on the ground, and cannot see the sky or find the ground.
It is difficult to find two identical trees in the same place in this place; the interweaving and entangled vines in the forest make it difficult to pass; many rod-shaped roots suddenly hang down from the sky, as if falling from the sky; some plants do not grow from the ground but grow on trees and branches of various heights in the sky, forming a dazzling aerial garden.
Here you can see old stems on towering ancient trees everywhere, with incredible blooming of gorgeous and unique flowers or full of fruits; some plants have leaves that are big enough to accommodate several people to shelter from the rain, and some plants have grass-like shapes, but their figures are like trees.
The vegetation here is full of strange things.
The clouds standing on the top of the uphill, their hands were opened vertically, and their thumbs and index fingers formed a frame-like rectangle. They were facing the slowly rising and falling hills in the distance and the clouds in the sky, constantly moving the frame formed by their hands, and muttering the words "Crack, Crack" in their mouths.
When the sun finally hid under the mountains in the distance, the clouds slowly withdrew the photo frame formed by their fingers and sighed: "It's like a painting country, who is the main person to rise and fall?"
Yunduo is just a ten-year-old boy.
Such a ten-year-old boy makes such mature words, which inevitably makes people feel a little ridiculous and a little mature.
Turning around, the clouds walked towards the shade and around the top of the mountain, a few giant trees standing there, a tree house built with four or five giant trees shyly revealing a little clue from the branches and leaves.
This tree house is very hidden. Most of the materials used to build the tree house are still growing branches and vines. Between the living branches and vines, there are still active branches on the tree, which are blocked by the thick shade. If you don't carefully distinguish them, it is almost difficult to find the existence of the tree house.
But this tree house is still very obvious, because it has seven or eight gaps similar to windows. Each gap is built with a companion bay window, and a square wooden box is placed on the bay window - this kind of wooden box with obvious artificial traces, which makes people suddenly distinguish the secrets hidden under the dense green shade.
In the forest behind the giant tree, the trees are densely grown, and branches and vines grow in a row, making it difficult for even a rabbit to get into between trees. Only in front of this tree house, there is an open passage nearly three meters wide in the forest. Therefore, as long as people pass by here, it is difficult to ignore such a conspicuous passage entrance.
The clouds standing at the entrance of the passage carefully observed the trees on both sides of the passage, the grass underground, and the vines floating gently in the air.
Although the entrance of this passage is three meters wide, it is not safe here, because the mountainous area is what people often call "Jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts", also known as "Jungle of Monsters".
This is a world of cultivating immortals, and there are really so-called immortals here.
This planet is very huge. There are five continents on this planet, each continent has one or two forbidden lands. The "Jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts" is the Xiyue Continent where clouds are located, the most dangerous forbidden land.
Compared with the other four continents, the Xiyue Continent is considered to be the place where cultural backwardness exists because of the existence of the "Jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts", because the "Jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts" will explode every two or three hundred years. At that time, a large number of wild beasts surged out of the jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts, like rats migrating, like killing ants marching, like whales rushing to the nearby human city without hesitation, destroying everything that blocks them along the way.
Wherever the beast tide passes, the city becomes ruins, the farmland is deserted again, people are extinct, and the river is congested by corpses.
After various counterattack methods of human beings come up, they slowly suppress the surging beast tide. At this time, the beast tide has often rushed thousands of miles away.
A thousand miles away from the "Jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts" has become an unmanned land, and civilization has returned to primitive and barbaric.
This result is still good.
It is said that over the past tens of thousands of years, there have been several large beast tides, and the last living space of human beings was compressed into the three giant cities by the sea. At this time, the beast tide had already struck hundreds of thousands of miles. Then, the beast tide weakened for some reason, and human beings began to recover lost land and post-disaster reconstruction bit by bit.
Every post-disaster reconstruction often requires the efforts of a generation. After four generations of reproduction and five or six generations of efforts to restore civilization, the beast tide will come again, so humans have to face another destruction and reconstruction.
For this reason, the Xiyue civilization is the most backward among several continents. Of course, due to repeated post-disaster reconstruction, the Xiyue people have developed the fierce and aggressive character and developed their strong character of refusing to break. Therefore, the Xiyue people have always been known for being fierce and barbaric in the five continents and cannot bear any grievances.
For this reason, the towns near the jungle of the beasts in the Xiyue Continent belong to a semi-autonomous state. It is said that the function of these towns is to send an alarm to the rear when the beast tide explodes. After all, the time of the beast tide explodes is very irregular. Sometimes it does not explode for more than 500 years, and the shortest one is an interval of only 240 years.
The outbreak of the beast tide has caused a lot of inconvenience to the people of Xiyue Continent. This kind of extinction disaster is like a blade hanging above the head at any time. It makes people feel nervous all the time. Human beings have tried all kinds of preventive measures for this...
During each period of moisture, people believe that their efforts are successful, have effectively eliminated, or delayed the outbreak of the beast tide, but reality has shattered human hope again and again.
The living state of Xiyue Continent has also caused other people to suffer the grief of the rabbit and fox who beat the mainland. There have been several times when reinforcements from other continents planned to support Xiyue Continent, but the power in the Xiyue Continent rejected the help of other states.
This is because of territory consciousness.
The existence of the Wanjinjung has also brought many genius treasures that do not exist in other states to the Xiyue Continent. The people in power in the Xiyue Continent rely on these resources and live a wealthy life on weekdays. They all hide in giant cities along the coast. Even if the most serious beast tide explodes, they have never impacted the cities they live in. Allowing other state forces to interfere in the affairs of the present means giving up some of the Wanjinjungs' interests, which is something that the people in power do not allow...
Speaking of Xiyue**, it is not completely inaction. Every generation of people in power has come up with various ways to send countless hunting teams to go deep into the jungle of thousands of beasts, trying to control the number of beast groups and reduce or reduce the intensity of the outbreak of beast tides.
If the hunting team can come back from the jungle of thousands of beasts alive, their profits will be very rich. Not to mention that they have found various genius treasures, they will only obtain countless raw materials from the hunted beasts, and then create various treasures, thus becoming rich overnight.
However, the jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts is a jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts after all. The scope of this jungle is very wide. Yun Duo is not clear about how broad it is. From the description of the insider, Yun Duo guessed that the entire jungle of Ten Thousand Beasts is probably larger than the African continent and comparable to the area of Eurasia.
There are billions of hidden beasts here, and simply strangling, the purpose of eliminating the beast tide cannot be achieved.
In this jungle of thousands of beasts, wild beasts are very cruel and cunning. In the tens of thousands of years of struggle between humans, they have learned various survival skills, such as snakes disguised as dead branches, butterflies disguised as flowers, and toxic moths disguised as leaves. And these are the survival skills of ordinary beasts.
This is still a monster jungle. In addition to some ordinary beasts, there are some monster trees that have been cultivated into spirits. Their disguise skills and their cruelty exhausted human imagination.
For example, a seemingly flat ground may be a psychedelic scene transformed from a phantom beast. If you step into this flat ground without any precaution, it may become the food of the phantom beast.
For example, sometimes seemingly dense forests, branches and vines are entangled, and there is no gap. However, when you strode over, you find that there is nothing blocking - this may be a confusion of the low-level demon trees. If you walk into this area without any precaution, you may be safe and may be swallowed up and become fertilizer.
However, these monster trees and monsters have low IQ after all, and the scenes they transform into are just low-level simulations of the surrounding environment. If you observe carefully, there will always be flaws. The simplest thing is: the sharp changes in light will make them unable to react, thus exposing their disguise color.
The so-called sharp changes in light refer to the moment when the sun rises and sets between morning and evening.
The fire clouds in the sky gradually became darker. With the help of the drastically changing light, the clouds carefully observed the three-meter-wide passage in front of them and found that there was no change in color or light and darkness on the ground and surrounding branches. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, moved his short legs and walked under one of the giant trees.
He groped at the root of the giant tree for a long time, took out a vine from the root of the tree. Above the vine was a copper metal hook. The cloud held the hook claw in his hand, and then looked around like a little rabbit, then shook the hook claw.
The hook claws flew into the air, hooked a horizontal branch three meters above the sky, and the clouds smiled with satisfaction.
He looked around again, then suddenly pulled the rope in his hand, and a slight sound came from above his head.
