Chapter 144 Heart of the World
"How long will it take to fly?" Su Siyi asked.
"The plane takes about ten hours to fly, and we can't reach the destination directly. Look at the map, we still need to hike up. It shows here that it will take ten days of hiking to get there." Nangong Jingming said.
"Then we still have plenty of time to sign in this time!" After hearing him say this, Su Siyi felt that the sign-in location this time was not difficult, maybe it was just the location that was difficult to find!
"There is enough time, but we have to prepare some things before we set off. After all, we will be gone for such a long time, and it will take time to go back and forth." Nangong Jingming said.
"Then let's get down from Phoenix Mountain first!" Su Siyi raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a bright smile, and said softly.
"Well, the signal here is not good, let's go back first!" Nangong Jingming nodded slightly and answered in a firm tone.
"Sister, it's almost noon now. Let's take a rest here!" Su Wenying looked up at the sky and found that the weather was getting hotter and hotter. It was almost noon, so she made a suggestion.
"Yes, it must be very hot at noon. We are not in a hurry now, so let's take a rest first!" Su Wenxin said in agreement, looking at the scorching sky.
Since I have plenty of time, I naturally cannot let my sister suffer from the heat.
"Okay, everyone has worked very hard! Let's take a break first!" Su Siyi looked up at the sun hanging high above her head. It was indeed the hottest time of the day. She also remembered that everyone had been running around yesterday and it was really hard. So she decided to follow everyone's advice and take a break before continuing on.
"Jingzhong, Weigang, take a rest here." Nangong Jingming shouted to the two people behind him.
Luo Jingzhong and Meng Weigang quickly began to prepare a place to rest.
Now that they have the wilderness survival gift pack, it is really convenient for them to rest. They can set it up quickly by just finding a flat place.
Everyone started to get busy, and soon a sumptuous outdoor barbecue was ready.
"Sister Siyi, look at our barbecue. We didn't have it last night, but we had it at noon! And we had it under such a big sycamore tree. It's a rare experience." Qin Zhixuan said with a smile while eating a skewer of barbecue.
"Yes, this paulownia tree is incredibly big! I wonder how many years it has been growing?" Su Siyi looked up at the towering paulownia tree, her heart full of curiosity and amazement.
The crown of this sycamore tree spreads out like a giant umbrella, giving the impression of shading the sky. Its trunk is so staggeringly thick that it would take at least ten adults, hand in hand, to wrap their arms around it. Trees of this magnitude are rare, perhaps only found in these deep mountains and ancient forests.
However, it is regrettable that although the phoenix tree is so magnificent, the legendary phoenix did not descend. There has been no phoenix in their world now. However, she has a phoenix egg in her hand, which can be regarded as enriching the species in their world.
Yin Yuncheng observed the condition of the paulownia tree intently. After a careful inspection, he slowly said, "If my estimation is correct, this paulownia tree is at least one hundred and fifty years old!" His voice revealed awe for this ancient paulownia tree.
"One hundred and fifty years old, this is truly a very old tree," Qin Zhixuan said in amazement. She looked at the sycamore tree before her, as if she could sense the traces of time and the sedimentation of time.
"Yes, I didn't expect this tree to have such a long history," Su Siyi agreed. She was also attracted by this ancient sycamore tree, and a sense of awe for nature and life surged in her heart.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in Su Siyi's mind: "Master, this sycamore tree is only over a hundred years old, it's still a young tree!"
Su Siyi was stunned when she heard this. She had originally thought that a tree over a hundred years old was considered quite old, but now that the system had said this, it seemed that there were even older trees.
"What do you mean? A tree over a hundred years old is still a small tree, so how many years old is considered a big tree?" Su Siyi said to the system in her mind. She was curious to know what kind of tree could be called a truly big tree in the eyes of the system.
The system explained, "In other worlds, trees can live for thousands of years or even longer. Therefore, a paulownia tree that's over a hundred years old is still relatively young. Only those ancient trees that have experienced a long time and witnessed countless storms can be considered truly great trees."
Su Siyi suddenly realized that the perceptions and standards of things differed so dramatically in different worlds. She sighed, "It seems we still have many unknown areas to explore!"
Qin Zhixuan looked at Su Siyi, who seemed to be lost in thought, and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Sister Su? What are you thinking about?"
Su Siyi came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just feel that this sycamore tree makes me think of something about time and life."
Everyone continued to admire the ancient sycamore tree, feeling the tranquility and strength it emanated. At that moment, they seemed to be in a mysterious and beautiful world, becoming one with nature.
"The average age of the paulownia tree is at least a thousand years old, and it has just reached adulthood." The system suddenly said to Su Siyi.
"A tree that's a hundred years old is really considered a small tree, but system, your voice has become more and more humane!" Su Siyi felt that the system's voice was becoming more and more humane!
"Master, the more you sign in, the more energy I can get. My energy can be upgraded and will naturally get better and better." The system said happily.
Each time they can complete the sign-in task in half the time, the more energy it gets, and the faster it upgrades.
"Will there be any special changes when you upgrade in the future?" Su Siyi asked curiously.
"I have now been upgraded to level four. When I reach level ten, I can buy skins. Then I will have a body!" Then I can go out for a walk!
"There's still level six!" Su Siyi said anxiously. She couldn't wait to see what the system would look like.
"You'll reach level six very quickly, master, keep up the good work and sign in!" The system encouraged happily, as if it saw a bright future.
"Then you should also issue more sign-in tasks!" Su Siyi urged, hoping to complete the system upgrade as soon as possible.
"Master, it is not my responsibility to issue this task!" the system explained helplessly.
