Global Adventure: The Strongest Anchor In History

More than a thousand years ago, Ye Xing would never dare to break into the formation at will.

Because at that time, the branches of Populus euphratica were so lush and leafy that they blocked the sky and the sun, and you couldn’t even see the sky when you raised your head.

You have no way of knowing what is hidden in the leaves or whether there is anyone hiding in the tree.

Today, the remaining body of Populus euphratica is only three or four meters high, bare and without any leaves.

Ye Xing, who has the ability of [Night Vision], can flow freely inside.

"At a close distance, you can see animal patterns carved on the trunk of the Populus euphratica tree."

"Some are mice, some are cows, and there are horses, chickens and the like."

"There are twelve patterns in total. These are the twelve earthly branches, corresponding to the twelve zodiac signs."

"As I said before, there are twelve mechanisms in the wooden prison's mechanism array, which are replaced every hour."

"Perhaps to prevent mistaking the mechanism, the twelve zodiac signs were carved on the tree as a mark to identify the mechanism."

"The same zodiac sign represents the same organ."

Ye Xing looked thoughtful. He couldn't figure out how these mechanisms were replaced.

"Huh?"

Ye Xing discovered that there was a gap between the roots of Populus euphratica and the ground.

I lay down and took a look and was surprised.

The roots of Populus euphratica do not grow underground.

It 'stands' on the ground.

Not only the one in front of me, but all poplar trees are like this.

This is unbelievable!

[Can a tree survive without its roots in the ground? Could it be that these trees have become spirits? 】

[Could it be a tree demon? 】

[Nonsense, don’t you know there have been no spirits since the founding of the People’s Republic of China? (picking nose)]

[Botanist Han Honghui: It should be an evolutionary phenomenon. In order to survive better, tree roots give up the role of tree roots and rely on the crown to absorb nutrients. There are actually such rare species in China, but their lifespans are generally relatively short. 】

[Sou Gasnai, this makes sense. 】

"The roots are shaped like the soles of human feet."

"I would make a bold guess. They can 'walk' when they are still alive, so they can update the formation structure every hour."

A walking tree sounds nonsense.

But considering that even golden ants can be cultivated, it doesn't seem so unreasonable to put a pair of 'feet' on the tree.

Ye Xing suspected that the person who cultivated the golden ants and arranged the formation was the same person!

[Princess Chichi: There are traps everywhere here. Brother Xing, you must be careful. 】

[After so many years, the mechanism has long since expired, right? 】

[Dongxing Crow: You can’t say that. Maybe a cage suddenly appeared in the ground and locked up the anchor! 】

"The institutions are usually controlled by humans. There are no ghosts here. It stands to reason that there won't be..."

In the middle of Ye Xing's words, a sound of 'chua' was heard in the air.

A white net popped out from the ground, trapping Ye Xing on the spot.

Ye Xing has quick eyes and quick hands, and splits the net with a tactical knife.

Zi La La——

The moment the blade was cutting the wire mesh, sparks suddenly flashed out.

You can imagine how hard it is.

If this knife is not strengthened, it will not be able to cut at all.

Ye Xing checked it with the [Item Illustrated].

This is a web made of silk spun by an insect called the iron silkworm.

The hardness is comparable to iron wire, but the texture is soft, both hard and soft.

"It's just a small mechanism. It may be that this mechanism happened to malfunction, so it can still react. This situation is relatively rare."

Ye Xing smiled slightly, without too much panic.

[Fortunately, the anchor is very agile, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face. 】

[My sword skills are good, it would be a pity not to kill pigs. 】

[Dongxing Crow: This mechanism is a bit low, is there anything more powerful? Use some hidden weapons like arrow rain, poisonous needles, etc. It looks more exciting! 】

"Do you think this is filming a TV series?"

Ye Xing shook his head, and just as he was about to continue saying something, his expression suddenly changed.

Dozens of round holes the size of coins appeared on the trunks of a row of poplar trees carved with snake-shaped patterns.

Whoosh whoosh——

Rows of sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the holes, forming a rain of arrows and shooting towards Ye Xing.

"Damn it!"

Ye Xing picked up the iron pot and ran away while blocking it.

After the arrow rain stopped, there was no time to take a breath.

The dry crowns of another row of poplar trees engraved with sheep-shaped patterns swayed, and countless tiny poisonous needles fell from the sky.

"Is there any mistake?!"

Ye Xing used the iron pot to protect his head, jumped back and rolled, dodging in a panic.

[Papa papa, the host’s face was swollen, so embarrassing~]

[I don’t think it’s the anchor’s fault. If you’re to blame, it’s Dongxing Crow. His mouth is so foul, whatever he says comes from whatever he says! 】

[Dongxing Crow: I really don’t have any malice, I just expressed my feelings, let me guess again, what should happen next...]

Dongxing Crow has been banned!

"Brother Crow, did you have your mouth opened in Lingyin Temple? Please be a good person."

This guy's mouth was so smart that Ye Xing had no choice but to believe him.

If you let him say a few more words, who knows what will happen!

[Hahahahaha! XSWL, this is the first time I see a host so helpless. 】

[Anchor’s inner OS: Thunder Nut, I don’t want to lose face, 嘤嘤嘤~]

[It turns out that what’s more terrifying than the mouth is the crow’s mouth! 】

"The mechanism is not malfunctioning, it is out of control."

"It's better to leave here early."

Feeling the potential danger, Ye Xing speeded up his pace invisibly.

As I was walking, a red light suddenly appeared around me...
