C892 Ancient Trees on the Road

"Hmm? "It's me …"

As if it was due to Zheng Kai's strange reaction, the voice was stunned for a moment after Zheng Kai asked about it before replying. The voice was still as desolate as usual, and at the same time, it had a kind of lazy feeling, as if it had just woken up.

"You … "Who are you?"

Hearing that voice, Zheng Kai was slightly stunned. He thought, "How would I know who you are? It's not like I know you before …" No, I'm Zheng Kai, not Chen Kai. Even if you and Chen Kai had met, I still wouldn't recognize you …

But he didn't know why, even if he was unfamiliar with that voice, the ancient book in his memory that recorded Chen Kai's life story didn't have anything for him to refer to. Zheng Kai was immediately blinded. Facing such a weird but apparently not a single hostile voice, Zheng Kai didn't know how to reply for a moment.

"Me?"

Hearing Zheng Kai ask again, the voice was slightly stunned, then it laughed, as if Zheng Kai's repeated questions were not taken to heart at all, and laughed magnanimously.

"I'm this tree …"

"Tree?"

This time, Zheng Kai was truly confused.

What about the tree? Treant? Tree spirit? Or was it the Tree Immortal?

"Haha …"

Just as Zheng Kai continued to be confused, the voice chuckled again.

"I've lived here for almost a thousand years, but I haven't seen many people. Today, I've finally found you, so why don't you come and chat with me …"

"En..." "Sure."

Zheng Kai wanted to reject him, but he didn't know why, but the image of a kind and gentle elder discussing things with him suddenly appeared in his mind. Zheng Kai didn't have the heart to refuse him, so he just nodded and agreed.

"Come, come, sit in."

As the tree spoke, it shook the branches above its head. After a series of light rustling sounds, a thick leaf had already been laid on the ground. It was obviously to make Zheng Kai sit more comfortably and to prevent the heat from the ground to a certain extent.

"Alright then … "Many thanks!"

Through this action, the ancient tree also showed Zheng Kai that it really had no ill intentions towards him. Zheng Kai understood immediately, cupped his hands, thanked the ancient tree, and sat down in front of the leaf.

He thought it was just a normal leaf, it could at most make him feel more comfortable sitting on it, but he didn't expect that the moment he sat on that leaf, he suddenly felt a gentle chill rising up from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it dispersed the scorching heat on his body.

"What's going on?"

Sensing the change in his lower body temperature, Zheng Kai asked in both surprise and joy. After all, he was almost driven crazy by the increasing temperature, and now that the ancient tree could help him so much, letting him a little bit, it was indeed something to be thankful for, but he didn't know how it did it.

"Hahaha …"

Hearing Zheng Kai's question, the ancient tree let out a burst of hearty laughter. At the same time, the branches of the ancient tree also let out a wave of happy jitters along with the laughter. It seemed that the ancient tree was shaking its body like a human.

"Didn't I tell you just now? I've already lived here for close to a thousand years, what is so rare about staying here?"

Hearing this, the old tree still loved his hometown very much. When he said he had lived here for the time, his tone was slowly filled with endless pride and pride.

"Eh …"

Hearing the excited voice of the ancient tree, Zheng Kai didn't feel right pouring cold water on it, so he could only reply unabashedly.

"You said that you've lived here for nearly a thousand years. Do you know why it's so hot?"

"Of course I know."0

Facing Zheng Kai's question, the old tree laughed. However, he did not give Zheng Kai any answer. Instead, he changed the topic.

"Mm …" So young, only six years old, right? "

"Ah?" How do you know? "

Hearing the ancient tree's words, Zheng Kai was slightly surprised. He didn't think that the old man would suddenly mention his age. At the same time, he felt that it was strange. Why was a plant so sensitive to humans' age?

In Zheng Kai's mind, a few ancient tree people were dissecting and studying the human body. He couldn't help but be shocked. Obviously, this kind of scene wasn't something he could accept so far.

"Haha …"

Hearing Zheng Kai's question, the ancient tree calmly smiled and replied softly.

"We trees have rings, and you humans have rings as well. You can see our rings, but not ours. On the contrary, we are much more sensitive to numbers and the age of humans than you are. For example, right now, I can see that you have six rings, and the seventh ring is slowly forming …"

"Ring?"

Zheng Kai was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the ancient tree to give him such an answer, but with just a thought, he figured it out. Zheng Kai was slightly surprised, he didn't expect the ancient tree to give him such an answer, but with just a thought, every race had their own talent, this was hard to explain to the outside world.

However, just when Zheng Kai found something that made sense, he heard the old tree ask with a hint of confusion.

"No, why do you have two annual roulette discs?"

"The annual roulette?"

"Two?"

To be honest, when the ancient tree mentioned that he could see the annual roulette, Zheng Kai already felt that something was going to go wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

It was only when Gu Shu said that did Zheng Kai realize what he was worried about.

If according to ordinary people, he could only use Chen Kai's body now, then he was indeed only a six year old. But if the ancient tree saw a year wheel at the spiritual level, then Zheng Kai's secret would absolutely not be able to stop him.

Therefore, when Zheng Kai heard that the ancient tree could see the two annual roulette, he was both surprised and helpless. He originally thought that he could hide all of their secrets from them, but now he could hide nothing from the ancient tree …

"No, you don't need to tell me …"

As if noticing Zheng Kai's awkward mood, Gu Shuo quickly cut him off before Zheng Kai could explain to him.

"Your roulette has golden specks of light on it. You can tell that it isn't ordinary, and the person who owns this annual roulette definitely isn't a bad person. So, your secret doesn't need to be told to me completely. You just need to have a clear conscience."

"…"

Facing such a righteous ancient tree, Zheng Kai was at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly. He no longer felt awkward towards the ancient tree and sat down cross-legged in the shade.
