Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: Chapter 32 The King of Banyan Trees in the Deep Mountains ! (2/2)

This Ancient Banyan Tree must be the largest and oldest one nearby.

He had encountered many ancient trees along the way, but only this one had caught his eye at a glance.

Initially, he had thought it was because of the tree’s immense height, towering above all others, that it looked appealing to him and caused his heart to pound. Now, it seemed it wasn’t that simple.

It was strange enough for a tree to invoke such a sensation in him.

Now, after one chop, the tree’s green ‘blood’ was leaking out, which made him realize that this tree might be quite extraordinary,

It had its own life.

“Was I attracted to it because I’ve practiced the Everlasting Spring Technique?”

Qin Niu considered the possibility.

This kind of thing had never happened to him before.

His practice of the Everlasting Spring Technique was still brief, and his power was very weak.

Perhaps only when encountering such a particularly large and special tree could he feel a faint sense of resonance.

“Could this tree have become sentient? Is that why I feel this resonance?”

He had read stories about plants becoming sentient in books.

The tree’s age must exceed a thousand years, daily absorbing the essence of heaven and earth in these mountains and basking in the favor of the sun and moon; it might really have cultivated sentience.

Despite being chopped, it didn’t react at all.

Qin Niu felt somewhat apprehensive inside, but driven by curiosity about the mysterious, he wanted to explore further.

His current position was at the waist of the tree.

Its total height had to be over fifteen meters.

What lurked within that dense canopy, was utterly unclear.

Generally, trees like this one were a paradise for birds.

However, strangely, whether because the birds had all gone to forage or for some other reason, not a single bird was in sight.

This cast a foreboding layer of eeriness over his heart. When he looked at the tree again, it seemed all the more sinister.

Instinctively preferring safety over risk, he felt it best to leave quickly.

Any place would do for practice; there was no need to insist on meditating in this ominous Ancient Banyan Tree.

With that thought, he hastily climbed down the trunk.

It’s easier to go up the big tree than to come down, which is far more difficult.

Fortunately, his climbing skills were not weak and after some effort he finally descended from the tree, safe and sound.

He reached the ground without any danger, which emboldened him slightly.

Looking up once more at the Ancient Banyan Tree, radiating a mysterious aura, it still stirred his heart just like when he first saw it, although nothing out of the ordinary seemed to happen while watching it.

“I should hurry on, instead of ending up like the woodsman Liu Dazhuang from the village, eaten by a monster with only his feet left.”

He shouldered his basket and started back along the path he had come.

He walked out at least one li plus, that’s more than five hundred meters!

He thought to himself that he should be safe now..
