Crazy Six and his cousin had extremely solemn expressions. They sometimes looked at the wild vegetables and the red amphibian man's excrement underneath the wild vegetables, and sometimes looked at the direction of the yard.

Now that the sun has turned to the west, the late autumn sun has faded away its scorching heat, leaving only warmth shining on us, making us feel a little lazy.

"We have been dealing with amphibians for a long time, and we know that one of their characteristics is that they are nocturnal, so they do not come out during the day, especially in this sunny weather, they will not come out, but they will

Where are they hiding? Why are they surrounding us? Are they trying to kill us? In addition, we have been moving frequently in the past few nights, but we have never encountered an amphibious man. Why is this?"

Xiao Lei asked a barrage of questions, which were actually questions in our minds, but no one could answer these questions except Crazy Liu and his cousin. But Crazy Liu and his cousin also frowned and said nothing.

, it seems that they both have not thought about many issues.

But thinking about how many amphibious people appeared here at night, surrounding our yard, I couldn't help but shudder. We have all seen the combat effectiveness of those amphibious people. Their speed is frightening, and their attacks are even more terrifying.

They are extremely sharp. If there are only one or two, we can still deal with them, but if there are more, we will not be able to fight against them at all.

While we were talking, my cousin was still clasping his hands behind his back, looking around for something. Suddenly, he shouted: "Look, what is here."

All of us were shocked and immediately went over to take a look. We saw our cousin standing next to a huge boulder and pointing at the boulder. We looked in the direction of his finger and saw that although the boulder was very big,

But there's nothing special about it. Such huge rocks can be seen everywhere in the mountains. What's so strange about them?

Not only me, but also Crazy Six, Old Man Yuan, Professor Shan, and Mr. Chen all looked confused.

Before we could ask, our cousin suddenly said: "Look carefully at the texture of this stone."

As the cousin said, he put his face close to the stone. Like him, we also put our faces close to the stone and carefully observed the texture on the stone. A strange thing happened: when I looked at the stone a few meters away, I didn't look at it.

I couldn't figure out what was special about the texture of this stone; but when my face was very close to the stone, under the sunlight, I suddenly felt that the texture of the stone seemed to be a piece of cloth, and it was also a coarse cloth, with all the fibers on it showing.

How did that happen?

Not only that, but what’s even more terrifying is that I can smell the smell of cloth. Is this an illusion?

I closed my eyes hard, shook my head vigorously, and took two steps back. When I opened my eyes again and looked at the stone, I found that the stone had returned to normal - normal shape, normal texture, no cloth at all.

The texture and smell, what is going on? Is it just my imagination?

Before I could say anything, I heard Kenya say: "It's strange. When you look at this stone up close, it has the texture of cloth, but when you move it a little farther away, the stone returns to normal. What's going on?"

After hearing what she said, everyone else nodded and then looked at their cousin.

In this way, I realized that it was not my personal illusion, but that everyone had this phenomenon.

The cousin did not answer Kenya immediately, but picked up a dead branch from under his feet, then asked Mr. Chen for a lighter, lit the dead branch, and then used the lit dead branch to burn the stone. What happened next

,we are all shocked:

I saw that the burned area of ​​the stone slowly turned into a burnt black color, and there was a burnt smell! It was a burnt smell that comes from burning cloth. When we saw this strange phenomenon, all of us were stunned.

shocked.

My cousin had a serious look on his face and his brows furrowed even more tightly. However, the burned area of ​​the stone did not continue to burn, and no trace of smoke came out. This was a bit different from burning cloth. My cousin looked down silently.

Look, we know that he is looking at the yard below the hillside.

After about five minutes, my cousin slowly said: "Isn't this stone very strange? From a distance, it looks no different from ordinary stones, but when you look close, you find that the stone has cloth.

The texture, isn’t it incredible?”

Hearing what my cousin said, everyone nodded. My cousin continued: "Actually, it's not a stone at all, but a plant. To be more precise, it's a tree."

Tree? How could it be a tree? We have never seen or heard of such a tree. No matter how strange the tree is, it will not look like a stone. If my cousin said this is a large tree,

We feel that the fungi are slightly more acceptable.

After Madman Six heard this, he stared at the stone, put his hands behind his back, and circled the stone several times. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he suddenly turned his head, looked at his cousin and said: "

Is this the so-called 'Stone Tree'?"

After hearing what Crazy Six said, his cousin nodded slightly and said, "I think so. This tree is said to be the biggest miracle in the world. The classification standards of modern botany and zoology were established by Westerners. Now

All animals and plants found can be classified into corresponding categories, but this stone tree is very special.

First of all, this kind of tree has never appeared in other parts of the world. It was only during the Republic of China that a Western botanical expert came to our area for inspection and discovered this stone tree for the first time. He was extremely shocked and took pictures.

He took photos and samples. Unfortunately, when the botanist returned to his home country, he contracted a serious illness while passing through Shanghai and died in China. The samples he collected were also missing, but the manuscript and

However, the photo was published in the West and caused controversy in the academic community. Many authoritative botanists denied the existence of this stone tree.

Because this kind of stone tree is really weird. You have all seen it. It doesn’t look like any other tree. It looks like it has no trunk, no leaves, no flowers, and no fruits. Its surface looks like a stone. Why is it called a tree?

Because its cells are plant cells, not stone structures, and the texture is extremely dense and solid. Therefore, it can be determined that it is a plant, and there are slight differences in the structure of the cells in different parts of it.

Although its cells are plant cells, they are very different from ordinary plant cells, both in terms of structure and cell life. These cells can even sleep for a long time, and this dormancy time is measured in hundreds of years. We

The reason why it looks like a stone now is because this tree is in a dormant state. If it were not dormant, it might also grow strange leaves, flowers, etc."

After listening to our cousin's explanation, we still didn't come to our senses. Is there really such a weird stone tree in the world?

But my cousin just tried it with a dead branch, and when we looked closer, we did find that it had a cloth-like texture, which shows that this thing that looks like a stone is definitely not a stone.

"Cousin, how did you find out that this was not an ordinary stone? How did you know about this kind of tree?" Sister Li asked curiously from the side.

The cousin nodded slightly and explained: "Well, this is a long story. Let me briefly explain. The texture of this stone tree is extremely hard. Even compared with stone, it is not inferior. Not only the hardness and color are similar to

Stones are similar in density to stones, so it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to find them. However, unlike stones, this kind of stone tree is afraid of fire.

I heard about this kind of stone tree from my master. He saw this kind of stone tree purely by chance. It was a huge wildfire decades ago that burned thousands of acres of forest land.

, and the less the fire, the bigger. Fortunately, the next day after the fire burned, it started to rain heavily, and this rainy weather lasted for about ten days before the mountain fire was extinguished. In our case,

People in this mountain thought it was an appearance of gods and spirits, and held a grand sacrificial ceremony in the county town to thank God.

After waiting for about a month, my master went into the mountain to inspect the burned forest area. On the edge of the fire, he discovered an extremely strange scene - a half-burnt boulder. How could the stone be burnt? My master felt

It was very strange, so I walked over and looked at the stone carefully, and then I realized that it was not an ordinary stone. If it was not a stone, what on earth was it?

This greatly aroused his curiosity, so he chiseled off a piece of the strange thing and sent it to Shanghai for inspection - why was it sent to Shanghai for inspection? As you all know, his hometown is

I am from Shanghai, and I have a relative who happens to be a botanist. After the relative checked it, he was shocked because he knew that this was the legendary stone tree. However, it was during the ten years of turmoil, and normal research could no longer be carried out.

This astonishing discovery came to nothing, and even the samples collected by Master and the burnt stone tree quickly disappeared.

But through this incident, the master gained a deeper understanding of this stone tree and read relevant information. However, he has never seen it again since then. However, because he has seen it with his own eyes, the master has a deep understanding of the various characteristics of this stone tree.

With in-depth knowledge, he told me that the texture of this stone tree is very special. When you look within one foot, you can see that its texture is very similar to cloth, but if you are a little further away, you can't see this texture.

This may be due to the special reflective effect of its surface.

In addition, this kind of stone has a faint smell of anise. In addition, about four or five meters away around it, there will be a circle of approximately circular protrusions, which are its roots. Combining these characteristics, I can see that this stone has a faint smell of anise.

A stone is actually a stone tree."

After our cousin’s detailed explanation, we knew what was going on, but we were here to find the amphibian man, and we didn’t expect to find this strange stone tree. What made us even more unexpected was that this stone tree
