Chapter 622 Something was discovered
After experiencing another magical scene, Vic put the two mysterious fruits into the dimensional space and began to explore the giant tree again, but still gained nothing.
At this moment, it was time for the giant tree to emerge from the water and began to slowly sink into the lake. Vic felt a little anxious, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind. By listening to the voice of all things, he could perceive the main text of history and hear what the sea kings said. This island was related to both of them. So would there be any gains from using the voice of all things to explore the giant tree?
He did it as soon as he thought of it. Vic instantly flew to the island where the giant tree was rooted. At this time, a small part of the island was still exposed outside the lake. Vic stood beside the giant tree, closed his eyes, stretched out his palm and placed it on the trunk of the giant tree, then released his observation Haki and mental power. The two combined together made Vic's perception more delicate, but he still didn't detect anything.
"What secrets are you hiding? Tell me! Tell me! What is the God in the Tree? Tell me! Tell me!"
Vic shouted in his heart and pushed his mental strength and observation Haki to the maximum to convey his emotions to the giant tree. The giant tree did not respond, but by pushing its listening ability to the extreme, it sensed that there was a hole somewhere in the trunk.
How could there be a hole in a fully grown tree? This wasn't a small tree that would be eaten by animals or insects. This was a tree that had been submerged in poisonous water for years. Would there be animals or insects that were not afraid of poison? Maybe there were, but it was somewhat of a coincidence that it appeared here. Vic was even more convinced that he had discovered the secret of this tree!
With a little trepidation in his heart, Vic flew upwards using the Moon Steps and came to the main trunk where he felt the hollowness. Having been soaked in lake water for years, the entire trunk of the tree was covered with unknown mosses, covering the original color of the trunk.
Vic drew out his blood and quickly scraped off the moss on the trunk, clearing out a twenty-meter-long and wide piece of trunk. Vic carefully observed the cleared trunk, but did not find anything unusual. The giant tree was still slowly sinking into the lake.
Vic didn't have much time to waste, so he simply reached out and pressed his hand in the middle of the cleaned tree trunk, and used all his strength to exert his Observation Haki that could listen to the sounds of all things.
As the vague image he sensed groped on the tree trunk, Vic pressed his hand down, and a hidden door made of the tree trunk suddenly opened. The door was only about three meters high and one meter wide, but more than one meter thick.
Looking at the fluorescent passage inside the door, Vic swallowed his saliva. He finally found the secret of the tree. As expected, he still had to listen to the voices of all things to find this door. The backup plan left by Joey Boy was indeed linked one after another, leaving no chance for the enemy.
Seeing the giant tree still sinking, Vic quickly flew into the door. Before the door halfway up the trunk was about to be submerged in water, the hidden door closed automatically. Vic looked from inside and found that it was tightly closed without any leaks.
Vic estimated that the door had merged with the entire tree trunk and had returned to its previous state where he could see no flaws at all.
Vic stood at the entrance of the cave and did not go in immediately. He breathed a sigh of relief after the whole tree stopped shaking. The giant tree had sunk into the lake and there was no leakage. After that, if Vic wanted to go out, he would have to wait for the full moon night of next month.
Vic took out the Den Den Mushi from his arms and took a look. The Den Den Mushi had fallen into hibernation with its brows raised and its head drooped. This was a sign that it could not receive any signals. It seemed that it would not be able to contact the outside world for a month, Vic thought to himself, and then put away the Den Den Mushi.
Vic collected his thoughts and observed the passage. The size of the passage was the same as the door, and it seemed to be hollowed out as a whole. It looked like the damage to the tree was very great. In fact, for the giant tree, it might just be a small wooden stick pulled out from the trunk. The diameter of this giant tree was about three hundred meters, so this passage could not be called a damage.
The walls of the passage were emitting a faint fluorescence. Although not as bright as the sun in the day, the naked eye could still see things clearly. The walls were as smooth as mirrors and felt warm to the touch. It didn't feel like touching wood at all, but more like jade and jadeite.
Vic walked along the passage for more than a hundred meters before he was blocked by a door. This door was very obvious and was pushed open directly by Vic. It was a horizontal sliding door. The two-meter-thick door disappeared directly into the side wall after Vic opened it.
After opening the door, what Vic saw in front of him was an empty cylindrical space. There were no tables, chairs, bookcases or beds in it. It did not look like a place to live. The area was about 30 square meters. According to the diameter of the giant tree, this should be the center of the trunk.
Vic glanced around the room and was soon attracted by a small tree in the center of the room. The branches and leaves of the small tree emitted a green fluorescence and looked fresh and juicy, which was obviously unusual.
This is not a single sapling, but one that grows directly from the wooden ground. The shape of its leaves is exactly the same as the leaves on the outside of the giant tree, except that the leaves of this sapling are glowing and more tender.
"Could this little tree be a magical medicine that can make one become a god after eating it? Is this the ultimate secret of becoming a god among trees?"
Vic came to the small tree and looked at it, and he had such thoughts about this magical little tree in his mind. However, there was no detailed record in the historical text, and Vic could not be sure whether it was true.
Vic didn't keep staring at the small tree. Although there were no extra items in this space, he saw other things when he looked around the circular space before.
Vic walked past the small tree and came to the innermost circular wall. The fluorescent wall had many embossed patterns and texts. It looked like it was carved, but the strokes were unusually round and natural, without the artificiality of artificial carving.
Vic started from the leftmost pattern. This pattern was a long strip running vertically to the ground, like a belt, dotted with countless dots of different sizes and shapes in the middle. The more Vic looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
When I saw the X-like symbol in the middle of the strip, I realized what this belt was. It was the nautical chart of the Grand Line, and the X in the middle was the Upside-Down Mountain, the entrance for the four seas to enter the Grand Line!
Vic didn't know the purpose of the nautical chart of the Grand Route here, but he still recorded it carefully. The Four Seas are relatively peaceful waters, and maps have been drawn long ago, but no one has ever drawn a complete map of the Grand Route, and there are only very partial maps.
Therefore, this nautical chart of the Grand Line is still very useful for people like Vic who travel through the clouds. If this map was left by Joyboy, then Raftel would probably not be marked on it, otherwise the other arrangements would be in vain.
