This year's spring seems to have come a little earlier, although the heavy snow has not completely melted, but the shrubs in the forest have sprouted early, some wild birds have begun to cry on the tops of the trees, and the wild beasts in the hibernating caves have also woken up to feed in their holes, and the whole forest has come to life from the silence and is becoming vibrant again. It's just that there is a lack of cheerful breath in the nightfish's lair.

To the north of the Nightfish's lair, the Great Sacred Tree, which has been a forest of trees, has been standing there for thousands of years, but because the crown of its head is too luxuriant, its trunk can no longer grow straight towards the sky, but is slightly bent down.

In the shadows under the canopy of the Great Divine Tree, which was ten feet wide, stood a dozen nightshades dressed in black robes. They all had strange expressions on their faces, surprised, frightened, confused, frustrated, and so on.

Despite their different expressions, their eyes were all staring directly at the same thing, the Great Sacred Tree.

According to the custom of previous years, the Great God Tree should regain its sprouts at this time, and from a distance, the whole tree seems to be covered with a light veil of tender yellow and green. However, the situation of the Great Divine Tree is completely different now, not a single new shoot has been issued, and the whole tree is showing a kind of dead ash and lifelessness.

"What's going on?" the Eater Patriarch stood at the head of the person, looking at the Great Divine Tree in disbelief. He was followed by a group of high-ranking members of the Nightfish Clan, including the second brother Devouring Tiger, the third brother Devouring Jiang, and the young man Devouring Yu, as well as the six elders who had always looked like a white-bearded mopping the floor, as well as several other core personnel.

The three of them, Eater Tiger, Eater Jiang and Devouring Yu, glanced at each other, all shaking their heads with puzzled expressions.

One of the six elders speculated, "Maybe the climate is too cold, and the day of the Great Divine Tree's awakening may be delayed a bit. ”

"The climate is cold?" The Patriarch of the Devouring Beast glanced at the elder dissatisfied, and said coldly: "Those mortal trees in the surrounding forests have sprouted, and the Great God Tree is not as cold as them?"

The elder's face was embarrassed, and he quietly took a half step back, and everyone was speechless for fear of angering the patriarch.

The devourer's face was cloudy, and he glanced back and forth in distraction, the snow on the Great Divine Tree was still half dissolved, and the entire broad trunk was empty and bare, and almost all the fruits of the Great Divine Tree fell to the ground and fell into the mud.

"What's going on?" Pointing to the fruit of the Great Divine Tree rotting in the mud, "It takes thirty years for the Great Divine Tree to complete the process from flowering to fruiting and then to full ripeness. But these fruits are only twenty-three years now, and there are still seven years to go!

Although the six elders have lived for a long time, they have never heard of such a thing as the Great God Tree suddenly withering and falling fruit, let alone seen it. But everyone agreed that this was definitely a bad omen, but despite this speculation in their hearts, no one dared to say it. Everyone is afraid of angering the devouring deer, and it is said to be a disaster in the hearts of the clan, even if they are cut by a thousand knives, there is no place to complain.

He turned his head and swept his eyes over everyone's faces, and saw that those who were swept by him bowed their heads in fear, and he snorted heavily, turned away, and went back to the Tower of Eternal Night.

The patriarch brushed his sleeves away, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't want to stay in place for a moment, so they all dispersed.

Seeing that everyone else was gone, he was also about to slip away, but he saw that Yuyu looked up at the canopy of the Great God Tree thoughtfully.

"Retreat. "Yuyu touched Yu's arm.

He didn't move, still looking up, and threw out a sentence: "You said that this great divine tree is really dead, and all its fruits have fallen?"

"Shhhhh Although the Great Divine Tree is indeed dead, and everyone thinks that the Great Divine Tree is really dead, no one dares to say this fact, because it is ominous and ominous. The Patriarch was very reluctant to admit this fact during the growing prestige of the Nightfish, let alone hear such words.

"I'll have to take a look. As he said this, he looked around at random, and saw that there were indeed only two people left, Yuyu and himself, so he walked to the great god tree with confidence, jumped on the canopy, and shuttled back and forth between the dry branches, his eyes swept around.

"What are you looking for?" Eater stood under the tree, staring nervously at him, and from time to time he looked around for the wind.

"Sure enough, there is. In a delighted tone, he used his standing technique, stepped on the soft and withered branches, and reached out to pick a fruit of the Great God Tree that was intact but had some wilted skin. "And then!" he whispered to the devourer on the ground, and threw the fruit down.

Yu Yu carefully caught the fruit, and watched as Yu Jiang continued to spin back and forth on the wide trunk of the tree, and in nearly twenty minutes, Yu Jiang threw four more fruits from it, and finally couldn't find it, so he jumped down.

"Do you want to send these to the Eternal Night Tower?" Yuyu held the five Great Divine Tree Fruits in his arms.

"Hide in my house first. Let the eldest brother know that the fruit is not old enough to be picked by me, and he will definitely have to scold me. He thought for a moment and said. After taking it home, he made a wooden box out of ebony in order to prevent the five fruits from rotting like the other fruits that fell prematurely. Ebony has a special texture and high density, and when the box made of this wood is sealed, it is an excellent way to ensure that the nutrients of the fruit of the Great God Tree will not leak out.

The death of the Great Divine Tree had become a fact, and the devouring deer did not dare to look north for a long time, not even to glance at the north.

The Nightfish are marching all the way, attacking cities and plundering the land in the night world. At this stage, we don't need the death of the Great God Tree, but we need the Great God Tree to flourish as always, guarding the Nightfish as always.

If the nightray lair is the belief of those outside the nightfish, then the Great Sacred Tree is the belief of the nightfish inside the nest.

As soon as the Great Divine Tree died, all the Nightshades instantly lost their faith, and they felt as if they had been abandoned, without spiritual support, and became lonely.

The devourer also feels this way, but he can't show it, and at a time when the people of the clan are panicking, it is necessary for him, as the patriarch, to re-establish the faith of the people and give them courage again.

Since the Great God Tree is dead, then you should believe in me.

As time passed, the tree's lifeless trunk gradually weathered and decayed, drifting away in the wind and rotting into the dirt.

When the devouring roe successfully transferred the faith of the whole clan from the Great Divine Tree to himself, the Great Divine Tree seemed to have fulfilled its mission for thousands of years, and finally one night, without warning, the bare and huge trunk broke off and fell to the ground. That night, the nightfish throughout the lair heard the sound of the Great Sacred Tree.

The breaking of the trunk of the tree also cut off the clansmen's belief in the Great God Tree.

The younger generation born since then has no longing for the Great Divine Tree in their hearts, and can only occasionally hear the elders mention the Great Divine Tree that has guarded them for thousands of generations.
