Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 146: Giant Banyan Tree
Although the appearance and disappearance of Mingli surprised Chen Xin, he was more confused.

Why can the Dark Raccoon be triggered on the road?

Why would the Dark Raccoon lose its connection when chewing tree roots underground?

Why does the black fox chew tree roots?
The fact that the Dark Raccoon can be triggered indicates that the location is a cemetery and there are ghosts in the cemetery.

But Chen Xin didn't see any sign of a cemetery on that road. The only thing he could think of was that there used to be a cemetery on this road, but it was flattened.

As for the fact that Mingli was disconnected, there could only be one possibility.

Mingli was killed.

But who killed him and how?
When Mingli died, Chen Xin didn't see anything, and even Brother Ji didn't notice anything else.

Mingli died quietly.

The only thing related to Mingli’s death was the tree root under the road that had been chewed by Mingli.

It can't be that Mingli is going there to grind his teeth, right?

So that tree root is a ghost!

In other words, the thing to which the tree root belongs is a ghost!
But within a hundred-meter radius of Brother Ji's sight, Chen Xin did not see a single tree.

So, where do tree roots come from?
Chen Xin had too many doubts in his mind, but Brother Ji was stuck on the road and couldn't solve his questions.

No solution was found and Brother Ji was still wandering around, so Chen Xin simply summoned back all the guardian objects, including Brother Ji.

Fortunately, at least it can be summoned back.

Taking out another wooden bead and reactivating the fishing hook, Brother Ji entered the space again.

This time, Chen Xin chose the opposite direction of the fishing rod and let Brother Ji jump out.

After coming out of the darkness, Chen Xin saw the same river, but this time it was facing the opposite direction.

Brother Ji didn't land on the ground, but flapped his wings and flew towards the other side.

The width of the river is about thirteen or fourteen meters, and the crack is located close to the river bank on the mountain village side, only three meters away.

But Brother Ji is flying to the other side now.

If it's just flying, there's nothing wrong with Brother Ji.

But it is destined that Brother Ji’s flight will not be peaceful.

He had flown less than three meters when water ghosts in the river broke through the surface of the water and shot towards Brother Ji like sharp arrows.

When they get close to Brother Ji, they will make a threatening gesture and try to hug Brother Ji and pull him into the water.

Unfortunately, they have no wings and cannot turn in the air.

Chen Xin did not covet the good points of these water ghosts, and directly controlled Brother Ji to avoid the attacks of the water ghosts.

In this way, Brother Ji has flown a distance of five or six meters!

But then, Chen Xin saw the river water below turned blood red. When he was on guard against the ferocious water ghost, he never expected that the ferocious water ghost did not jump out at all. Instead, he used the river water to turn into a wave and hit Brother Ji.

Looking at the waves that were three or four meters high, Chen Xin simply let Brother Ji's body become virtual and pass through.

But the moment he touched the waves, Brother Ji’s ability to become invisible failed and he was directly swept into the river.

The next moment, three or four ferocious water ghosts rushed towards Brother Ji.

Chen Xin sighed and did not get entangled with him. He immediately summoned Brother Ji back.

Looking at the two wooden beads left, Chen Xin fell into deep thought in his bed.

Soon, Chen Xin thought of a solution.

After hanging the placenta sac on Brother Ji's neck, Chen Xin took out another wooden bead and activated it. Brother Ji repeated the previous process.

This time, the wave appeared after it had only flown two meters.

But Brother Ji still rushed forward. When he was close to the waves, the placenta sac disappeared from Brother Ji's neck, and the yellow baby appeared in front of Brother Ji.

The fingers of both hands were exposed, and in an instant, dozens of claw shadows appeared on the wave in front of Brother Ji.

In the blink of an eye, a hole was created in the wave.

After Huang Ying finished his attack, he fell into the water, while Brother Ji passed through the hole before it closed.

Looking at the waves behind him, Chen Xin felt delighted.

But the joy had just appeared on his face for a short while before he saw the second wave.

At this time, Huang Ying, who had fallen into the water, had just torn a water ghost apart.

Helplessly, Chen Xin recalled the two talismans.

Looking at the last wooden bead, Chen Xin's face showed some hesitation.

Should I continue trying to reach the other side, or repeat the original choice?

Through Brother Ji's vision, Chen Xin did not see anything special on the other side, and he did not know what the situation was over there.

"That is to say, Brother Ji cannot be sent directly over. Otherwise, there is no need to care about that road at all, and Brother Ji can be sent directly..."

Having said this, Chen Xin suddenly stopped.

Chickens cannot be released, but there is no limit on the placenta!
Snapped!
After slapping his forehead, Chen Xin held the placenta sac and recalled the mountain village he had just seen.

Immediately, the placenta sac in his hand disappeared.

When Chen Xin reached out and touched the page of the placenta, he saw where Huang Ying was.

At this time, Huang Ying was already standing in front of the house with a "human"-shaped roof!
"Haha, indeed!"

Looking at the road leading to the river outside the village, Chen Xin smiled.

Although this consumed 20 points of Yin De, it at least avoided a problem.

With a little excitement, Chen Xin controlled Huang Ying to turn around and look towards the village.

Then, Chen Xin was stunned.

As Huang Ying's head slowly raised, Chen Xin saw the tree canopy that stretched out from the darkness in the distance, covering most of the village within sight!
It's not just the tree crown, there are also many branches hanging down like beards from the branches that are more than ten meters high.

The closer you get to the treetop, the shorter and thinner the whiskers become.

The further away from the treetop, the longer and thicker the whiskers become.

Looking at this scene, Chen Xin suddenly remembered what this was.

Banyan tree!

A huge banyan tree that seemed to cover two-thirds of the entire village!
Those tree whiskers are nothing else but the aerial roots of the banyan tree!
Chen Xin has never seen a banyan tree in real life, but he has seen a large banyan tree on the Internet, and also seen the aerial roots that hang down from the banyan tree and take root in the ground, growing like a new tree. The copywriting of the video at that time used one word to describe the huge banyan tree.

A single tree makes a forest!

But the banyan tree in that video is not even one-tenth the size of this one!

This is only the part that Chen Xin saw. Who knows how much bigger the part that he didn’t see is?
At this time, Chen Xin finally knew whose tree root, as thick as a finger, Mingli was chewing, belonged to.

But the road is still more than a hundred meters away from here.

In other words, the roots of this banyan tree have spread over a hundred meters away!
In such a comparison, the crown of this banyan tree does not seem to be that big.

Chen Xin didn't want to explore any further.

He hesitated.

This is such a big banyan tree. If it is a ghost, it can't be just an evil spirit, right?

If it was a blood disaster-level ghost, Chen Xin would probably have to go through the same experience he had in the church with the ghost money before.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Xin summoned the substitute paper-cut and held it in his hand.

He decided to go and take a look, but just take a look.

If there was anything wrong, he would just abandon the placenta.

At worst, there is still a substitute paper cutter to hold on for a while.

With this time, at least he won't die.

Exhaling deeply, Chen Xin cautiously controlled Huang Ying and walked towards the village.

The further he went in, the more shocked Chen Xin was.

Originally, the aerial roots he saw were just hanging in the air, but as he moved forward, he could see what was going on inside.

Chen Xin knows something about the aerial roots of banyan trees.

It does not grow fast before it lands on the ground, but once it takes root in the soil, it can provide the banyan tree with all the nutrients it needs.

At the same time, the aerial roots will grow rapidly and then support the banyan tree's increasingly large crown.

This was the situation Chen Xin saw at this moment, but it was more complicated.

The aerial roots that Chen Xin saw were not just rooted in the ground.

Some aerial roots fall directly on the house, wrapping the entire house like ivy, and then take root in the ground around the house.

As the aerial roots grew thicker, the houses that were wrapped around them were also squeezed out with cracks by the power of the aerial roots.

This situation reminded Chen Xin of a sentence in the video.

No room for trees but no room for people!
This sentence means that if you plant a banyan tree in your home, you can no longer live there.

Because the banyan tree has a well-developed root system, it can easily shake the foundation of a house, which is not good for the people living in the house.

But not everyone thinks so.

People who like banyan trees naturally won’t care about this statement.

But if those people saw this scene, they probably wouldn't say anything more.

After walking a few steps, Chen Xin suddenly stopped.

He didn't notice it just now, but now when he saw the houses wrapped by aerial roots, he felt something was wrong.

After taking another look at the aerial roots that had not yet reached the ground, he realized what was wrong.

It is visible to the naked eye that wherever there are aerial roots, there must be a home!
The roads in the village are obviously not narrow, but none of those aerial roots fall into the road and take root in the surface!

This made Chen Xin swallow his saliva.

This also shows that this big banyan tree is conscious... no, it has its own rules.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin no longer had the idea of ​​going into the house to take a look.

Since Banyan Tree likes these houses so much, he should respect the owner's ideas.

The guest is the host.

Soon, Chen Xin stood at the edge of the area covered by the banyan tree canopy.

A few more steps forward and he would be within the coverage of the banyan tree.

To enter, or not to enter?

Chen Xin hesitated again.

After thinking about it, Chen Xin did not make a decision directly, but walked around the edge of the banyan tree canopy and began to explore the situation of the village.

After walking around for a while, Chen Xin had a general idea of ​​the village.

This is a village surrounded by hills on three sides. The road leading to the river is the exit of the village.

The big banyan tree is located in the middle of the village.

Because the village is quite large, Chen Xin did not see the trunk of the banyan tree at the edge.

Its trunk is still hidden in the darkness.

At present, Chen Xin can only see the main trunk when he enters the coverage of the banyan tree's canopy.

But after walking around like this, Chen Xin decided not to go in.

After walking around the circle, he didn't see a single ghost.

There are no ghosts here?

Chen Xin didn't believe it. The only explanation was that no ghosts dared to stay where the big banyan tree was.

Or maybe there is a ghost, but it has disappeared like the Dark Li.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin naturally would not take any more risks.

Isn’t there a river outside?
First level up in that river, upgrade the Staff of Sorrow and Brother Chicken, then come here for a trip.

While thinking this, Chen Xin had already controlled Huang Ying back to the starting point of the circle and was about to walk out.

Chen Xin suddenly felt something was wrong and asked Huang Ying to look up.

Above his head, the crown of the banyan tree covered the position where Huang Ying was!
