Chapter 17: The Tree of Legends (Subscription Requested)
The farther away from the space tunnel, the higher the failure rate of various technological equipment, and on the fourth day of exploration, Dr. Qian's digital video camera was completely unusable, and he began to make more specimens, write and draw in a small notebook, and record the exploration diary.
Most of the time, it was Shi Yinghu who carried him.
It's not that other people refuse to carry it, but the old man doesn't know why, he especially likes to let Shi Yinghu carry him, saying that other people carry him and feel very tired.
In this regard, Shi Yinghu didn't mind much, took care of Dr. Qian, and there was no need to do many things, and he was also at the core of the team's protection.
"I don't know why, it's only on your back that I feel safe and warm, and when other people carry me, I feel that there are always natural spirits staring at me, and I feel eerie, and it's easy to get mentally tired. ”
"Maybe it's psychological, or maybe it's because I'm younger and you'd prefer to be around young people. ”
Dr. Qian is a very talkative person, and most importantly, he is sober-minded and witty, if you remove the preconception, Shi Yinghu often feels that he is carrying a peer in his twenties like himself.
Of course, few peers can be as knowledgeable and open-minded as Old Man Qian.
His knowledge is amazingly wide, even if he talks to Shi Yinghu about many high-level theories in martial arts, he can scare Shi Yinghu into a daze, which is also the reason why Shi Yinghu is willing to carry him, it is really broad-minded.
"Woo woo ......"
Suddenly, there was a voice like this in the distance.
"Hidden. Vientiane whispered as he jumped high and jumped up the tree as fast as he could.
Shi Yinghu was carrying Dr. Qian on his back, and he didn't dare to be violent for fear of throwing the old man down, so he jumped up lightly and pounced on a big tree beside him, using his hands and feet at the same time, the whole person was like a big cat, and instantly jumped up to the straight, one-person big tree, hidden in the dense shade.
Dr. Qian barely felt the vibration on Shi Yinghu's back, and the person's perspective was already looking down, high up.
Soon, an unnamed beast came running, driven by a group of savages with spears.
The spear-wielding savages did not attack the beast, but only whined and screamed around it, and only when the beast was about to flee outside the encirclement did they use their spears to force it back, so that after a moment of tossing and turning, the fat beast had no strength, and then the spear-wielding savages swarmed up and knocked the beast down and bound it.
It wasn't until after the wild man had left that the six of them fell from under the tree.
"Dr. Qian, are these savages worth researching? Shall we follow?" asked Vientiane.
“...... Of course, there is research value, and it is better to catch a few children back. There was silence for a while before Dr. Qian spoke.
Shi Yinghu was momentarily surprised by the loneliness in Dr. Qian's words, but he quickly reacted, the way civilized people explore the savage settlements is probably not very civilized.
There are all elites present, and it is like a fantasy for a group of wild people to get rid of the tracking of these people.
In the process, passing through a jungle stream, the savages put their prey on canoes and went down the river in canoes, but Vientiane and Shi Yinghu directly cut off a giant tree, jumped on it and stepped on the wood and floated down the river.
......
In a primitive tribe, under a towering giant tree.
There are many red-skinned humans dancing and singing, and most of the tribe is naked without clothing.
There is only a gray-haired old man, his body is covered with animal skins, which is a symbol of currency, status, and power.
The old priest was dancing like a madman under the huge tree, and his mouth uttered a strange cry.
As the ritual progressed, soon, a fat beast bound to four hooves was carried to the priest by four barbarian men.
The old priest raised a black sharp stone knife and slashed its throat with a sharp cry of the beast, and a large amount of blood gushed out and spread on the stone altar, irrigated by the blood, and the huge ancient tree in front of him emitted a clear and faint light.
The beast, which was still twitching, suddenly tilted its head and was completely silent, as if its soul had been absorbed.
The original noise around them suddenly became quiet, and all the barbarians closed their mouths at this moment, their expressions in awe mixed with fear.
"The soul to the sacred tree, and the flesh to the earth. As he spoke, the unusually sharp stone knife in the old priest's hand chopped off the beast's head, and then he pushed it into the deep hole in the tree in front of him, and the old priest waited for a moment with the sound of flesh being eaten and bones shattering, and after a moment the ground shook faintly.
The old priest threw the beast's legs into the deep hollow of the tree with his sword in his hand again, and in this way, after three or four successive times, the shock finally disappeared, the tree and the earth were satisfied, and the beast that the tribe had hunted was only half small.
The bulk of this was given to the strongest warriors of the tribe, and most of the children and women were already favored if they had some broth.
But no matter how hungry it is, the sacrifice to the sacred tree and the earth cannot be stopped, and only with the protection of the sacred tree, at night, the natural spirits hidden in the crevices of the stones, the streams, and the shadows cannot invade the tribe, and the tribe will not suddenly go crazy or die of illness for no reason.
Only when the earth is sheltered, the powerful beasts around it will not invade, but will avoid it from afar, compared to the threat of the two, starvation is undoubtedly an acceptable price.
"See?
"Of course, I'm not blind. The first sentence is the whisper of Vientiane, and the second sentence is that Zhujun Jian He Jiye rarely burst into foul language, and everyone present is eyes are blazing.
"The elves of the Blood Moon World are likely to have evolved and born in this way, at first a group of wild people, and then they believed in the god of trees, and in the continuous sacrifices for tens of millions of years, the power of the tree god also reacted on this race, and those humans who believed in the god of trees became closer and closer to nature, becoming stronger, more sensitive, long-lived, and even more and more beautiful...... This may well be the birth of the elves. Dr. Qian, who was still holding some unbearable people, was also red-eyed at this moment, no one expected to encounter such a huge harvest, a growing "god".
The entire primitive tribe in front of him is probably less than two hundred people, and the strongest and tallest can have a second order?
Choking, choking, choking, accompanied by the sound of the metal long sword sliding out of its scabbard, except for Shi Yinghu who stayed in place to protect Dr. Qian, all the five sect masters of the Five Factions Alliance drew their swords and walked out.
If this were just a simple tribe of barbarians, perhaps all this could have been avoided, but who told them to serve a tree of legend that was growing, in the eyes of the earthlings, it was like a child walking in the middle of the city: the puppet was innocent of his crimes.
When they saw Vientiane and the others, the barbarian warriors of the Blood Moon World screamed and took the lead in pounce with their weapons, but there was nothing to describe at all, it was simply a one-sided slaughter.
Originally, seeing that many of his clansmen pounced to meet the battle, the old priest behind him was still very relieved and satisfied, and the corners of his mouth bloomed with a smile, but when the sword qi of Vientiane and the others exploded, the five-colored sword qi swept away, and the dozens of barbarians who pounced with spears were directly strangled.
A few stone spears that were thrown past, even the protective strength of the five grandmasters could not break through, Vientiane's swordsmanship was domineering and fierce, the body swooped forward, not blocking or avoiding, not to mention being slashed by the overlord sword in his hand, even if it was hit by its body, those barbarians were all shocked and killed.
The swordsmanship of the iron blade of the Lieshan Hall was fierce, the long sword in his hand swept, the stone spear broke and slashed horizontally, and he charged and slaughtered the enemy.
Vientiane said that the master of Shuiyue Nunnery, Dinghui Shi, was too dedicated to Buddhism, and Shi Yinghu really didn't see this at all, the bright long sword in her hand stabbed vertically and horizontally, bringing up the Dao sword light, and constantly avoiding the truth and slaughtering the barbarians, and the killing efficiency did not seem to be slower than others at all.
The sword aura is rampant, and everywhere it touches is blood, killing!
