Chapter 342: The Sacred Tree
The stalk of this "broccoli" is very short, but the flower head is very lush, the huge flower head chooses the sky to cover the sun, blocking the sunlight in the sky, countless "farmers" work hard under it, in addition, there are countless "gardeners" who are watering and fertilizing it, making it look even bigger.
Faintly visible, on the huge flower head, there are countless small tentacles swinging in the wind, they are spread all over the flower head, weaving a huge tentacle net, the slightest electric current is released on the top of the tentacles, making the already bright pink broccoli more dazzling.
"This should be the big tree that Fuyun's predecessor said!"
Thinking so in their hearts, the two glanced at each other and rushed directly towards the huge pink "broccoli".
However, the two didn't run long before a man in white appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
The two of them subconsciously stopped and looked at the man in white, they didn't feel any magic fluctuations from him, and the man in white also looked submissive, except for the standard facial features, he was even weaker than the surrounding "peasants".
"Get out of the way!" the two said coldly.
The man in white looked at the two of them and hurriedly said, "Outsiders, calm down, please don't get any closer, and don't destroy the 'sacred tree'." ”
Seeing that the famous man in white could actually speak, there was a little difference between the two, you know, those white giants before couldn't speak, at most they could make a "woo" sound, but the man in white in front of him could not only speak, but he obviously knew what the two of them wanted to do here.
Although this man seems to be unruly, it makes Xin'er and Siyu have to be wary of him.
"Who are you, and what is this place?" asked Xin'er, looking at the man in white.
"The name of the lower part is Ti Xi Bao, who is the commander here, and this place is called lymphatic agriculture. ”
"Lymphatic countryside?
"This farm is the farm we live on, and we from our ladder family and the people of the red and white families have lived here for generations. Ti Xibao explained.
Xin'er looked at the white faceless man in front of her and asked, "You said that you are the commander here, which means that you know everything here?"
Ti Xi Bao's eyes dodged, and he was about to say something, but he heard Xin'er add: "Don't lie to me! I can see whether what you are saying is true or false." ”
Ti Xi Bao looked at Xin'er's eyes, and couldn't help but be a little timid, but finally nodded, "Yes." ”
"In other words, are those white guys at your behest?" Xin'er said coldly.
Ti Xi Bao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Yes......"
"But! I can't help it, as the commander here, I must protect the safety of the sacred tree! In the face of foreign invaders, I can only choose to clear it! I have no choice but to do it!"
As he spoke, Ti Xibao knelt directly on the ground and kept kowtowing to the two, "Please, don't come over again, don't approach the holy tree again, leave quickly!"
Looking at Ti Xi Bao's appearance, the two couldn't help but feel a little funny: The people here are not only strange-looking, but also have very strange brain circuits, this guy is obviously a demon who kills people without blinking, but he says how wronged and pitiful he is, and he still wants us to go back?
After all, the two of them are women, and in the face of the powerless Ti Xi Bao, they didn't have to be ruthless after all, but they were able to kick him.
"Get out of here!"
Ti Xibao was directly kicked by the two of them, but he immediately turned back, hugged the feet of the two, and pleaded bitterly: "Intruder, I beg you, don't hurt the holy tree, she is the soul pillar of all of us, without the holy tree, all of us here will die!"
The surrounding "peasants" immediately understood, came to their knees in front of the two, and kept pleading: "Please, don't hurt the sacred tree, don't hurt the sacred tree." ”
Seeing so many "peasant names" in front of the two, Siyu and Xin'er didn't know what to do for a while, the people here are different from the white guys outside, they don't have any ability to resist, they have worked hard here all their lives, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to protect the safety of the sacred tree.
For ordinary people who are powerless, the two are really unwilling to hurt them.
"Outsider, I am willing to exchange my life for the safety of the sacred tree, as long as you promise me not to harm the sacred tree, I am willing to kill myself!"
The "peasants" behind him also raised their heads one after another, and said in unison: "I wish my life in exchange for the safety of the sacred tree, and I also ask the two outsiders to be merciful!"
I have to say that Ti Xibao's passionate and tearful wonderful performance affected the two of them to some extent, especially his resolute eyes and determination to die, which made the two of them feel a little shaken in their hearts.
For them, we are indeed outsiders, and our existence affects their lives, and it is understandable that they will drive us away, but if we are gone, where can we go?
If we don't destroy the "holy tree" in front of us, we may never be able to get out, but if we destroy this "sacred tree", countless innocent "peasants" will die because of this, and kill thousands of innocent "peasants" for the goal of the two of us.
The two hesitated, as girls, the kindness of women was inevitable, they really couldn't bear to destroy the "sacred tree" in front of them, and they couldn't bear to kill innocent people, but in order to be able to leave smoothly, the two had to do this.
Xin'er couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she had to push the pot to Siyu, "Sister Siyu, what should we do?"
Siyu also didn't know what to do, in a sense, Siyu was softer than Xin'er, and asked her to do something to the poor guys in front of her, Siyu really couldn't bear it.
"I don't know. ”
Xin'er sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in her heart: Alas, if Brother Dian was present at this time, he would definitely know what to do, and he would definitely do what he wanted in his heart.
"Sister Siyu, you see us ...... like this"
Xin'er drew a knife in Siyu's ear and whispered.
Siyu listened carefully, and couldn't help nodding again and again, "This method is good!
The two glanced at each other, looked at Ti Xi Bao, who kowtowed and was bleeding from his head, and said, "You get up first, I promise, we won't kill you, and we won't get close to your 'holy tree'!"
When Ti Xi Bao heard this, he immediately stood up excitedly and said gratefully: "Thank you for the mercy of the invaders!"
Xin'er glanced at Ti Xibao, "My name is Xin'er, this is Siyu, we are not intruders, don't call us that anymore." ”
Ti Xi Bao was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran to Siyu's side, grabbed her shoulder, and said excitedly: "You are Siyu?
Siyu pushed away the ladder abalone, frowned and said, "I'm Siyu, what's wrong?"
Ti Xibao looked Siyu up and down, and finally shook his head, "No, you're not Siyu, you're not." ”
When Siyu heard this, he was extremely unhappy, "I am Siyu! This is the name my father gave me, why is it not you, are you looking for a fight?"
After that, Siyu was about to make a move, but Xin'er immediately stopped: "Sister Siyu, don't pay attention to him, the people here are nervous, just leave them alone." ”
Siyu put down his fist at this time, snorted coldly, and turned his head, "I'll tell you, I'm just a fake, genuine Siyu!"
Ti Xi Bao's eyes were full of suspicion, but under Si Yu's obscenity, Ti Xi Bao didn't dare to refute, so he could only be silent.
Xin'er looked at Ti Xibao and asked, "Let me ask you, when did you enter the Lu Man Cave?"
"Lu Man Cave, what is that place, how come I've never heard of it?" said Ti Xibao with a puzzled expression.
"Don't you know that the place where you are staying is the Luman Cave?" Xin'er said with a puzzled expression.
Ti Xibao shook his head, "I only know that this place is called Siti District, and the place where I am located is called Lymphatic Farm, my duty is to protect the sacred tree in the farm, and at the same time make it clear to the foreign invaders, as for the Luman Cave you are talking about, I really don't know what kind of place it is." ”
Siyu and Xin'er glanced at each other.
"Could it be that we're in the wrong place?" Xin'er said with some uncertainty.
"It shouldn't be possible, we just entered from the Luman Cave, it shouldn't be wrong. Siyu was also a little uncertain.
Xin'er turned her head to look at Ti Xibao and asked, "Let me ask you, when did you find out about the two of us?"
Looking at Xin'er's fierce eyes, Ti Xibao naturally didn't dare to lie, so he could only say obediently: "I found you from the time you entered the Dragon Throat Dao. ”
"It turns out that you call Lu Man Cave the Dragon Throat Dao. Xin'er muttered to herself.
"No, didn't you say you've been here all the time, how could you find us?"
Ti Xibao shook his head, "I don't know much about this, since the moment I was born, I have found that I can clearly see the situation of the entire Siti District, this ability seems to be innate, and I can also control the actions of the Bai and Red people, my daily duty is to supervise the clansmen of the two clans and the residents here to work hard and maintain the stability of the Siti District." ”
"Red people, who are they?" Xin'er wondered.
"It's a bit difficult for you outsiders to understand our habits, in short, the Red people are equivalent to the gardeners of your alien world, responsible for taking care of the sacred tree and maintaining the vitality of the entire Siti area, while the Bai people are responsible for clearing out foreign invaders and protecting the main area. Ti Xibao explained.
Xin'er nodded thoughtfully, "In other words, you controlled those Bai people to hunt us down before?"
Ti Xibao did not choose to answer Xin'er directly, but lowered his head and whispered: "This is my duty, I'm sorry, in order to protect the holy tree, in order to protect the Siti District, I have to do this, if you are dissatisfied, kill me, as long as you don't destroy the Holy Tree, don't destroy the Siti District." ”
Xin'er looked at the dutiful Ti Xi Bao and said lightly: "I said that I would not kill you, and I will do what I say." ”
"Thank you, thank you, Xin'er!" said Ti Xibao gratefully.
"You said you had this ability when you were born, so let me ask you, when were you born?" Xin'er asked.
Ti Xibao shook his head blankly, "I don't know, but, based on the time of you outsiders, it must have been born hundreds of years ago." ”
"Since you've lived for hundreds of years?" Siyu and Xin'er were very surprised.
Ti Xibao shook his head again, "No, I can't live for so long, at most three or five years, but after I die, my body will be sent to the holy tree to decompose, and it won't be long before I will be resurrected again, but my memories will be preserved forever, I roughly calculated, this should be my one hundred and eighty-second resurrection, and I have a hunch that I seem to be dying again." ”
Xin'er and Siyu glanced at Ti Xibao, "This guy, no wonder he is so afraid of death, it is estimated that everyone here is the same, and if he dies, he will be resurrected immediately." ”
Ti Xibao saw what the two were thinking, and hurriedly added: "Don't get me wrong, if I die on my own, I can naturally be resurrected, but if I am killed by outsiders, I can't be resurrected again." However, some Bai and Red people can be resurrected even if they are killed by outsiders. ”
Xin'er looked at the huge "holy tree" and said with some emotion: "This tree is so magical"
Ti Xibao nodded, "Yes, so it is a sacred tree for all of us here, and the reason why we have been able to live here all the time is because of the nurturing of the holy tree, so I have to protect it no matter what!"
