Chapter 54

"I found another one."

This time, the hiding place of the material was relatively secret. After searching for a long time, Xu Yi found it from a hole dug by a certain small animal, which caused the small animal to jump up and scream, as if condemning Xu Yi for taking it out. The nests are messed up.

The new material that Xu Yi holds in his hand looks like a sea urchin with thorns, the blunt point of the thorns is not too prickly, the material is like stone but not stone, jade is not jade, and the color is bright like a small gemstone, which makes people like it, no wonder Will be buried by small animals, some animals like shiny things.

Every time Xu Yi finds a material, it feels like a treasure hunt to Xu Yi. In the woods on the hillside, the vast sea, and on the mountain cliffs, there are all kinds of weird treasure spots, which makes Xu Yi addicted to it. Looking forward to the next "treasure hunt", a look of fun.

However, no matter how much she was looking forward to the treasure hunt, Xu Yi didn't keep flying all over the country to search for it. Instead, she rushed back to City G after finding a material. Hold hands, watch a movie and go to a small park. From time to time, like many silly couples, they will share an ice cream or drink the same glass of juice with two straws.

Just kidding, no matter how fun the task is, it is not as important as a girlfriend. Besides, after identifying Xiao Yuyan, Xu Yi hopes that she will become his wife in the future, and they will grow old together.

The red glow in the sky is like a beautiful ribbon, and the sunset glow is also a kind of landscape that attracts people to stop.

"Xu Yi, what are you looking at?"

It was time for dating again. After coming out of the movie theater, Xu Yi took Xiao Yuyan's hand and strolled in the botanical garden.

Originally, he wanted to sneak a kiss with his shy little girlfriend behind a tree, but when he walked under a leafy tree, Xu Yi always felt that something was wrong there, so he couldn't help but looked up, this big tree The tree does not know how long it has survived on this land.

The Botanical Park is a theme park that only opened this year. Most of the taller and stronger trees are transplanted. Unlike the one in front of you, the large trunk can only be surrounded by three people. The branches and leaves are as lush as the illustrations in books. , countless branches hang many leaves, the shape of the leaves is usually oval, and the head is slightly pointed.

"I'm looking at this tree, it's really tall."

Holding Xiao Yuyan in his arms and touching his forehead affectionately, there were many people in this place and they were dating, so Xu Yi stopped thinking about what was on the tree that was attracting him.

"Yes, this tree is taller than the other trees in the garden."

Seeing that no one noticed them, Xiao Yuyan kissed back and promised. Looking at the big tree, she couldn't help but marvel at the magnificence of the tree.

Because City G is located in a plain area and there are no high mountains, there are very few trees of this age, most of which are tree species no longer than five meters, and they are felled for construction reasons, and new commercial circles have been established. .When the economy improved, a botanical park was established in the area for citizens to enjoy the green scenery.

"The years are really amazing."

For a while, the two stood under the tree stupidly and looked at the tree without moving. They didn't come back to their senses until their necks were sore. After seeing each other's embarrassment, they laughed and made fun of each other for being so stupid.

It was getting late at night, Xu Yi and Xiao Yuyan were walking back to Xiao's house, they just felt that the time passed too fast, in the blink of an eye, it was time to say goodbye again.

"Yuyan, see you tomorrow, remember to miss me in your dreams."

When he was in school, Xu Yi also laughed at those young couples who were reluctant to part with each other for a while, and now, he is one of them, looking at Xiao Yuyan, he just wants to take her home.

"You too, you have to miss me too." Outside the far door, looking at the lights in the living room, Xiao Yuyan knew that her father must be watching TV again, kissed Xu Yi, and hurried into the room, urging her father sleep earlier.

Xu Yi was a little jealous, thinking that after Xiao Yuyan graduated from graduate school next year, she would get engaged first, and then they could live together legally.

Fantasizing about their married life, Xu Yi couldn't help being silly.

"Hey Hey."

Fortunately, there was no one nearby, otherwise Xu Yi would be considered a fool.

On the way back, Xu Yi didn't go back to the villa area first, but turned a corner and went to the road leading to the forest theme park. There were a lot of people there at the time, so it was inconvenient for Xu Yi to check directly. It was so late , Xu Yi estimated that there should not be many people hanging out in the park, so he wanted to check the big tree.

In the park that is open all day, Xu Yi quietly appeared. Xu Yi, who hadn't climbed a tree for a long time, looked at the thick and strong trunk with a little worry. Not everyone can climb trees, and Xu Yi is one of them. the one that will.

"Climbing won't work, I'll try jumping up to have a look."

Talking to himself, Xu Yi visually measured the distance from the trunk to the branches, and found that it was about four or five meters high. He was obviously not very agile, but he was confident that he could go up.

I jump!

Xu Yi ran towards the trees in the distance, and jumped up with momentum.

"Boom!"

The jump failed, Xu Yi only stepped on a position of more than 1 meter, and then fell to the ground weakly.

I will dance again!
Still fail.

Xu Yi, who had failed several times in a row, squatted on the ground and had to admit that her agility was really not high enough to jump the height of four or five meters.

"Ah, I'm so stupid, since I can't jump up, I can use a rope!"

I recalled that when I was hunting treasures, because I didn’t know how to climb trees, I used a climbing rope. I threw the pickaxe on the tree branch, and I was able to climb the tree by pulling the knot with my palm.

Xu Yi is lucky, fortunately, he chose late at night, and no one saw his embarrassment.

Going home, I got the rope for the climbing pick. Xu Yi aimed at the thick branch and threw the pick up hard. The head was well aimed and just got stuck. Holding the rope, I pulled it down hard. The branch shook slightly but it was very stable. Don’t worry about getting halfway up. Time will drop.

Wearing leather gloves and holding the knot, Xu Yi stepped on the tree trunk and stepped up step by step. The closer he was to the branch, the stronger the strange feeling became. In the last few steps, Xu Yi couldn't wait to climb up. Hang on to a thick branch and climb up with hands and feet.

Stepping from one branch to another, the branches became thinner as he went up, Xu Yi cautiously followed his intuition, at a height of eight or nine meters, even with his current physical strength, he would suffer internal injuries if he fell.

When he was about to reach the treetop, Xu Yi finally saw something. When he saw the real face of that thing, his hand slipped and almost fell in shock. After finally stabilizing his figure, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in shock. .

"...a natural treasure?"

Xu Yi reached out and grabbed the little thing that scared him, feeling that it looked familiar.

The same round stone, but this time it is not a funny face, but a smiling face. This expression always gives people a feeling of hehe. The middle-aged and elderly people think it is just an ordinary smiling face expression, while the younger generation, facing this expression It often feels complicated, and some young people even cause a conflict because of someone else's "hehe".

Just now, when Xu Yi saw this expression through the moonlight, Xu Yi was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on the branch.This is the second piece of strange natural treasure that Xu Yi got. Putting the stone in his pocket, he returned to the tree by the same route, and put away the climbing rope on the tree.

Taking out the natural treasure and aiming it at the moonlight, Xu Yi always felt that this broken stone was laughing at himself, with smiling faces on both sides, Xu Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, and put the thing back into his pocket, otherwise there would always be someone It feels like being ridiculed.

"1388, why didn't the system warn this time?"

Walking under the moonlight, Xu Yi frowned and asked the system.

The first time the natural treasure was detected on the seabed, the system gave an approximate range, but this time the distance was very close, but there was no prompt.

[Because of life. 】

"life?"

The courageous 1388 threw the system's introduction about life to Xu Yi, and his voice fell silent.

According to the introduction of the system, in nature, the longer a living body lives, the wider the energy field around the body will be, and then interfere with the detection function of the system, just like the big tree in the park, because it has lived for hundreds of years, and the energy field around the body will be wider. There are dense and distorted energy circles all over the place. Once the system enters it, the ability will be blocked.

"Your system is not as good as the detectors on the earth and stars. They can scan the thousand-year-old tree."

Xu Yi's joke system is not as good as an ordinary instrument.

[Treat the long life with reverence. 】

"Awe?"

Xu Yi muttered to himself.

Human beings have always been in the dominant position on the earth and planets. In ancient times, they searched for the secret of longevity and harmed many long-lived animals and plants. There have been rumors since ancient times that this kind of medicine can prolong life.

At that time, millennia-old ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and ten-thousand-year-old ganoderma lucidum were picked and taken by the ancients in order to prolong their lifespan. I wonder if those ancient people who ate such natural treasures lived a few more years in the end?

Back home, Xu Yi who lay down was a little insomnia, and kept looking at the stone in his hand.

The natural treasure that the system couldn't detect, but he noticed it the moment he got close to the big tree. Xu Yi didn't think he was stronger than the system. Maybe it was because he was a living being. Xu Yi is rejected by the field, but Xu Yi is accepted by him.

As for the system, Xu Yi has always been naturally defensive towards it, but at the same time, he is somewhat close to it. At least 1388, an intelligent creature, also has system skills and items. Helpful.

Xu Yi doesn't know whether the system is a sugar-coated bullet or a simple pie in the sky. Every time he dreams back at midnight, he occasionally struggles a little bit, and then tells himself, don't think so much, without the system, you are still the one for it. Ordinary people who run around to earn money.

"It's already three o'clock? I still have to go to the water park with Yuyan during the day, so go to sleep!"

After waking up, seeing that the time was already three o'clock in the morning, Xu Yi patted his face, stopped thinking about the system, and quickly went to sleep, throwing the natural treasure aside and not caring about it.

When Xu Yi fell asleep, the oblate natural treasure emitted a green light in the darkness, and then gradually dimmed.
