As night fell, the valley was filled with birds and insects. The night breeze blows through the mountains and forests, and the thousands of branches and leaves on the yellow horn trees shake and make a rustling sound. Lights lit up in the treehouse, lighting up the canopy. The night here is so beautiful that even the air is peaceful.

On top of the canopy of the huge yellow horn tree, Ning Tao sat cross-legged on a huge branch, his eyes closed slightly, which seemed to be a meditative action, but it was actually cultivating.

There were no cultivation techniques, nor any cultivation movements, just natural induction and breathing, and the spiritual energy in the valley flowed towards him like a stream. The aura continued to enter his body, circulating through his limbs and bones, and finally into the seed.

That seed was nourished by a large amount of aura, and it grew little by little, growing stronger and stronger. It resurfaced as a small seed, but now it has grown into a finger-tall sapling. The blue roots took root in his mind, and the blue trunks and branches glowed faintly in his mind. It is like a treasure tree carved out of sapphires, shining with treasure light, haunting treasure, mysterious and sacred.

The blue treasure tree grew little by little, releasing a trace of scorching energy, so that Ning Tao was sweating profusely. Each of those beads of sweat was blue, as clear as a sapphire. The beads of sweat in front had condensed into blue heavenly energy crystals, but the beads of sweat in the back were still coming out.

This is equivalent to eating mussel meat and pulling out pearls.

This thing is really strange, but when the god sent his son all the way here, he has seen so many strange things that he can't count them clearly, so he is not surprised.

Got a secret?

Can't explain it?

Then let it develop naturally, and one day it will not be able to hold it back, and the secret will not be solved.

There is another person on this branch, and it is the Lady Liberty Pearl. She stared at the shining heavenly energy crystal on Ning Tao's body, and her small tongue didn't know how many times she pursed her lips.

She couldn't absorb the high-purity Heavenly Energy Crystal, and she didn't even dare to touch it, but the low-purity Heavenly Energy Crystal that could be condensed from Ning Tao's body, she could eat and absorb it, and her mana would also be improved.

She had never been so eager for something, and if Ning Tao opened her eyes at this moment, she would be eager to pounce on it and eat every blue heavenly energy crystal on his body. But if Ning Tao didn't open her eyes, she could only endure it, because she was worried that if she went to the clove dance, Ning Tao's output would be reduced, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

After a long while, Ning Tao finally opened his eyes.

"Old send, is it over?" Bi Mingzhu said anxiously.

Ning Tao nodded: "It's over." ”

Bi Mingzhu's figure flickered, and before Ning Tao could say another word, he had already thrown him down on the branch.

"Lady Liberty, don't, don't worry...... Hiss. Ning Tao's eyes closed again.

Some things are not something that can be controlled if you want to control them.

Ling'er walked out of the tree house and looked up, but she couldn't see Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu on it. She grabbed a rope, moved her hands together, and climbed up with a few swishs.

"Brother Hero, Sister-in-law Hero has eaten. Ling'er jumped from the end of the rope and jumped lightly onto the branch. She saw the hero's eldest brother and the hero's sister-in-law, and the feet that had just stood firm suddenly weakened, her body lost her balance, and she shook it for a while, and another upside-down onion fell from the branch.

A figure suddenly flew down from above, grabbed her by the waist, and took a step in the void, leading her to her treehouse.

Her mind was blank until her feet landed on the branches, which obviously scared her a lot.

"Why are you so careless?" Ning Tao let go of Ling'er's waist.

Ling'er came back to her senses at this time, as if she remembered something, her face suddenly turned red, she didn't dare to look at Ning Tao's eyes, and her voice was also stumbling: "That, I don't know ...... you and your sister-in-law"

A figure descended from the sky, it was the sister-in-law in her mouth.

Ning Tao said solemnly: "Don't get me wrong, we are cultivating. ”

"Oh. Ling'er subconsciously responded, but what she thought in her heart was probably only known to herself.

Bi Mingzhu coughed dryly: "Is dinner ready?"

Ling'er said, "Okay, that's why I came up to ask you to eat." ”

Ning Tao said: "Eat first, so let's go to the cave you said and see those murals." ”

"Hmm. Ling'er nodded.

Dinner was simple, with scones made of cassava and tapioca flour, plus some wild fruits.

In fact, in this dense primeval forest, food is still very easy to solve. But the kind of evolved psionic fruit is rare, which is why Ling'er and Qiangshi would take people to such a distant place to pick apples.

Ning Tao felt that the spirit of the Ling Ping was somewhat similar to the spirit materials of his hometown, but there were also differences. The difference is that fruits such as apples are actually evolved and possess strong psionic powers, rather than simply possessing spirituality and aura. A very simple example is that there are definitely no apples with such a big head in my hometown, ordinary apples can never grow that big, and spiritual apples can't grow that big.

In fact, it is very appropriate to use the term "psionic fruit" to summarize those super-evolved fruits.

After dinner, Ling'er took Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu down from the largest yellow horn tree, and then crossed half of the valley to the bottom of a cliff.

Under the bright moonlight, there is a thick heat under the cliff, and through the heat, you can vaguely see a cave, and the sound of gurgling water comes out of the cave, creating a feeling of fairyland on earth.

"There is a hot spring in the cave, which flows all year round, and we all like to soak in the hot spring in winter, so that we can avoid the cold and make our body healthy, so our tribe is called the hot spring tribe. Ling'er said.

I heard her say it when I came, but Ning Tao still nodded and cooperated: "I see, are the murals you said in this cave?"

Ling'er nodded: "Well, the entrance of this cave seems to be small, but the inside is big, I'll take you in, there is still a long way to go." ”

Entering the cave, Ning Tao saw the hot spring pool, a very large hot spring pool, which could accommodate hundreds of people to bathe at a time. The excess water overflows from the hot springs and becomes a stream that flows out of the cave and nourishes the forest in the valley.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get a torch. Ling'er walked towards a stone wall.

"No, I've got a torch that will work. Bi Mingzhu put the hat she brought out of the Heavenly Dao Base on her head, and the bioelectricity activated, and a snow-bright beam of light suddenly dispelled the darkness in front of her, shining forward hundreds of meters away.

In fact, the mana is awakened, and neither Ning Tao nor Bi Mingzhu can see normally in a dark environment without lighting

, but with Ling'er, it's different, she can't see at all without light, which is why Bi Mingzhu brought out the green hat. And the big gun she brought with her, and it was on her shoulder. Although her mana has recovered somewhat, it is still too weak, if she encounters a large team of apes or something, she can also use a big gun to fight to reduce Ning Tao's burden.

Ling'er looked at the green hat on Bi Mingzhu's head, thought about it slightly, suddenly remembered something, and said excitedly: "I have also seen this hat!"

Ning Tao's heart moved: "Where have you seen it?"

Ling'er said, "On that mural." ”

Ning Tao: "......"

Regardless, the cave frescoes had already aroused his curiosity.

In the coffin of the Holy Sepulchre, he inherited the memory of Lingshan, but it was the memory of the early and heyday of mankind, and the murals in this cave were painted by surviving humans, painted as primitive people, and the two are definitely different. He wanted to know what the so-called time of the Great Encounter was like, and what the surviving humans had experienced.

The three of them walked to the depths of the cave, and Ling'er led the way.

This cave is as Ling'er said, it doesn't seem big on the outside, but it's actually very big. After stepping over the hot spring pool, the space became larger and larger, and there were many forks in the mountain. Some are big, some are small, and I don't know what to get to.

Ling'er said: "Those forks are intricate, some have no way out, only the patriarch knows the terrain inside, once there was a child who was angry with his mother, got into a fork hole, disappeared for several days, and finally the patriarch took someone into the fork hole to find, but the child had starved to death." ”

Passing by a clearing, Ning Tao saw that there were many stone benches on the ground, and a simple stone platform was built with ashlar at the end of the clearing. On the stone platform stood a stone statue of a god, but there was no carving to speak of, only a vague human form, not even a nose or eyes.

"What kind of idol is that?" Ning Tao asked.

Ling'er said: "It is a statue of the gods, but no one in the tribe can carve it, and there are no suitable tools, so they can only carve it." This place is a place to worship the gods, and every time during the harvest and sowing season, when a child is born, the patriarch will lead everyone to come here to worship the gods, which is very lively. ”

God?

This is a very general title, not even a god, Ning Tao has a large group of sons and grandsons who are gods, but they also have formal gods, such as the god of great power, the god of great harvest, the god of water and so on.

"The kids love it the most because there's so much to eat. Ling'er seemed to remember something, and a smile appeared on her face.

Ning Tao also saw the moldy kernels in the clearing, but there were really a lot, but he didn't see a single bone, he said curiously: "Ling'er, you said that there are a lot of delicious things, why do I only see the kernels, not the bones, don't you eat meat on the days of worshipping the gods?"

"Eat meat?" Ling'er looked at Ning Tao with strange eyes, "What meat?"

Ning Tao said: "Pork, venison or something, you won't tell me that you haven't eaten meat, right?"

Ling'er shook her head: "No, we want to eat, but we can't win." Those wild boars are very powerful, we met once when we were out picking spirit fruits, and that time a wild boar killed three of us. ”

Ning Tao was surprised: "How big is that wild boar?"

Ling'er said: "It's very big, one of its legs is as tall as mine." ”

Ning Tao: "......"

It's really not winnable.
