Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

This secret passage was staircase-shaped, but it was not too long. It didn't take long for them to reach the flat ground.

This is the bottom of a huge circular well, with a deep pit in the middle.

Wuxie and Laochi walked to the deep pit. There was a huge copper pillar about ten meters wide standing in the pit. They looked up and saw that there were many branches on the copper pillar. There are almost thousands of them visible to the eye alone.

The bottom part is firmly embedded in the stone at the bottom of the pit.

Wuxie got closer and found that these branches were carved with deep cloud and thunder patterns. Each gap was very large, but there was nothing inside.

"Is this similar to the one you dug out?" Wuxie sighed at the scene in front of him and then asked.

"Yes, I was shocked and speechless when I saw it. I didn't know what this thing meant here." Lao Itch replied, "At first, I thought it was a Dinghai Shenzhen needle, but I didn't expect it to be a huge needle. Bronze Tree.”

"Then you have to ask the person who did this." Wuxie said, "So? Is this what you want to show me?"

"How is that possible?" Lao Itch took out three pairs of gloves from his arms and handed them to the three of them. "Next we have to climb up."

"..." Wuxie was shocked, holding up a flashlight and looking up, "Climb up?!"

"Yes." Lao Itch responded. Regardless of the reluctance on Wu Xie's face, he stepped on the branches of the bronze tree and began to climb.

Wu Xie looked at Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling behind him. The former was putting on gloves unhurriedly, while the latter had already walked to the bronze tree and was waiting.

Wu Xie: "..."

He innocently accepted his fate, put on his gloves, tightened his backpack straps, and started climbing up.

The bronze tree has many branches with different thicknesses, so it is a good place to stay. When you are tired, you can rest on the thicker branches for a while.

During the climb, Lao Itch also reminded the other three people not to touch their skins. He did not say the specific reason, but he told the three people to treat the big tree as a high-voltage wire and something would happen if they touched it.

The four climbed up more than ten meters, and Wuxie asked to take a rest.

The more he climbed up, the more uncoordinated his movements became. In addition, the air here was always very hot. They didn't feel it when they first came down. Now they were sweating profusely when they reached a high place.

Lao Itchi's tired calves were trembling. He and Wu Xie sat together and took some food to replenish their strength.

Tan Yuchen and Zhang Qiling were faster than Wu Xie and the others, so they were a long way ahead. When they heard the two people below saying they wanted to rest, they casually found a thicker branch and sat down.

Wu Xie and Lao Chu were talking to each other below, and Qin Yuchen was bored and tapped his fingers on the branch they were sitting on.

"You said that if I took off my gloves and touched this branch, and then thought about it, would a copy of me be created?" Tan Yuchen joked and asked Zhang Qiling in a low voice.

Zhang Qiling glanced at Tan Yuchen but didn't reply.

"Be reasonable." Seeing that Zhang Qiling ignored him, Tan Yuchen continued, "Don't you want to try this?"

"If it succeeds, I can go home and retire." Tan Yuchen seemed to think about it for a while and thought it was a good idea. "If it can be copied, it would be best to copy it one to one."

"That way I can throw up my sleeves and leave directly, and then let the clone help Wuxie."

Zhang Qiling sighed, looked at Tan Yuchen helplessly and said, "No."

"Pfft." Qin Yuchen asked with a smile, "Aren't you allowed to support the elderly?"

Zhang Qiling raised his eyebrows: "No."

"what is that?"

Seeing Zhang Qiling looking away and not intending to answer, Tan Yuchen raised his eyebrows and patted the person on the shoulder, saying in a somewhat accusatory tone: "Why are you half-talking?"

Zhang Qiling didn't answer, but took the hand off his shoulder in a way that I couldn't hear and moved it to the side.

Qin Yuchen grabbed Zhang Qiling's move and said, "Stop moving. I'm just kidding. If it's really copied, I'll have to fight with him."

After all, clones and real people cannot survive at the same time.

Tan Yuchen just wanted to tease Zhang Qiling on a whim. Who knew that Zhang Qiling had already seen what he was thinking.

Tan Yuchen blinked regretfully and looked at the two people below who were humming and climbing up: "Let's go."

At this time, there was a slight noise in the distance.

Qin Yuchen frowned and called innocently: "Hurry up, something is coming."

Wu Xie believed in what Tan Yuchen said and quickly speeded up when he heard what he said.

The slight noise became clear, and the bronze tree began to vibrate slightly.

Zhang Qiling frowned when he saw the blurry figure below and said to Tan Yuchen, "Go up."

Qin Yuchen also saw it. The thing looked like a human, but the movement of climbing the tree was like some kind of animal. It was very fast. Maybe it could catch up with them in a few minutes.

He nodded, stood up and began to climb.
