Chapter 89 The Real World Tree

Chapter 89 "The Real World Tree"

"We are about to leave the forest." Germain turned around to remind, "Also, I smell a stink. Do you have any impression of this smell?"

Xiaodi's first reaction was to lower his head and smell his black turtleneck sweater, while the other two normal people sniffed the smell in the air.

"It does have a pungent smell." Yun Gu looked solemn. He always subconsciously judged things in a bad direction, "Do I need to wear a gas mask?"

"Idiot." Bisji cursed, "Smell carefully, it's the smell of sulfur. Even if you have to wear a mask, you have to confirm the real situation first. Don't be too nervous."

"Yes!" Yungu subconsciously stood up straight under Teacher Bisiji's instruction. As always, he calmed down and smelled, "It is indeed... the smell of sulfur."

It wasn't until this moment that Xiaodi realized that he wasn't talking about her. She was wondering why she smelled even though she had taken a shower.

She often handles corpses, residues and other items, and it is inevitable that her body will be contaminated by a special smell, so she immediately thought that the "stinky smell" Germain mentioned was the smell on her own body.

But why do you smell sulfur here?

Soon, when the group of four walked out of the lush forest and came to a flat wasteland, they looked up and realized the reason, and then couldn't help but froze in place.

At the end of the barren open land, there is a steep slope, and the raised mountains are covered with clear lines of gray and white conical soil.

The billowing smoke poured out from the depths of the round platform and sprayed tirelessly into the sky, darkening a large area of ​​the scene.

But what really stunned everyone was not the active volcanoes guarding everywhere, but the unparalleled towering trees behind the volcanoes, rooted in the lava and dry cracked soil.

Only the trunk, which was as thick as several volcanic craters, was exposed from each tree. Everything above the trunk was plunged into the vast clouds, and there was no trace of any branches or leaves.

"If it's a volcano, I can understand the smell of sulfur." ​​Yun Gu looked in disbelief. "It's just that such a tall tree is unheard of. It is taller than the world tree in the six continents."

"In comparison, the World Tree is like a baby." Bisji frowned, "I should say, I feel that this is the World Tree, the real World Tree."

Yungu and Xiaodi both looked at Bisji in confusion, but only Germain was the first to react after her reminder.

Bisji explained: "That guy Jin often spreads some of his ideas when chatting within the Hunter Association."

"He believes that the World Tree on the Six Continents is a malnourished tree. The real World Tree is in the Dark Continent, because only there can support such tall and towering trees that reach into the clouds."

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. Such an idea was realized in front of their eyes. What they saw with their own eyes would definitely not be false.

Bisji seizes the time, holds his mobile phone sideways, and starts snapping pictures of the real World Tree and the nearby volcanic landscape.

This is a rare and spectacular sight, and everyone is fascinated by it. It would be better if there was no smell of sulfur in the air.

"Germain." Bisji turned around after taking another photo, "I now agree with your 'Dark Continent Boundary Theory'. If there must be a border, there is no one more suitable than these world trees. ”

Xiaodi asked curiously: "In other words, as long as you pass through these volcanoes and bypass the World Tree, you will reach a more dangerous area, right?"

"Bingo." Bisji snapped his fingers and pointed at the drop, "I kind of understand what President Netero said before when he warned us not to go to the Dark Continent at will. He said that their journey at that time was just an introduction. 'That's it. That's probably why."

What Germain cares about is another thing: "Should we go directly through the volcanoes, or go around?"

"The mountains are endless and there is no end in sight. It may take a long time to go around them." Bisji held his chin, "Let's go through it?"

"Yeah." German nodded.

Germain and Bisgi agreed, and the other two naturally raised no objections, so the four set foot on the volcanic belt.

Since they decided to go through, everyone put on gas masks. Before they got close to the volcano, they felt a heat wave. After walking for a while, they were sweating and their mouths were dry.

"Let's speed up our pace." German pointed ahead. "First we will quickly pass through the volcanoes in this area, arrive at the first World Tree, and then rest on the spot."

Everyone nodded.

As a result, the four of them jumped forward as fast as dragonflies touching water, stepping on the dry crust, and the next moment they appeared a few meters away.

They were soon surrounded by the volcano. Even though they were protected by "tangles" all over their bodies, they only felt slightly better. Their clothes were still soaked and stuck to their bodies.

In the hot and scorching air waves, everyone didn't want to say anything and just kept going.

Seeing that the World Tree is getting closer and closer, most of the volcanoes have been forgotten by them.

At this time, Yun Gu saw something strange on the horizon with sharp eyes.

He shouted dully through the gas mask: "Everyone, there is something approaching on our right side!"

The other three people who received the reminder did not stop, but they all turned their heads to look.

On the horizon above the volcanoes, a group of black creatures appeared. They hovered like black dots. If you didn't look carefully, you would mistake them for an oncoming dark cloud.

"Can fly..." German turned and looked at everyone, "I'm afraid that air combat will be very disadvantageous to us. We don't have many long-range attack methods."

"Let's hurry up." Bisji said, "German, you continue to pay attention to the front, and leave the group of things to me and Yun Gu to observe. Xiaodi, you watch the back."

Everyone agreed and decisively performed their duties.

However, when they were almost leaving the volcanoes, they were still caught up by the flying creatures.

What surprised everyone was that the flying creatures looked like balls of fire at a glance, but if you looked closely, you could see the outline of birds, but the wings were all made of flames, and there was a long trail of black smoke behind the tail.

"This is..." Yun Gu frowned, thinking of the description he saw in the myths and legends, "'Phoenix'?"

"All mythical creatures have a source." Bisiji said, "It seems that this time we have directly encountered the real one. They are coming for us, let's prepare to fight."

During the journey to the Dark Continent, the creatures they encountered did not necessarily attack them, and once they decided to attack them, the reasons were nothing more than hunting, driving away invaders, etc.

Once they started, they would not stop.
