In the distance, the murmuring of a stream could be heard, and about two miles away from the stream there was a small valley where a small tribe of less than a thousand people lived, the Sacred Tree Tribe.

This valley is a bit like the shape of a gourd if viewed from a high altitude, the whole valley is divided into two valleys, one large and one small, inside and outside, there are two tall arrow towers erected at the entrance of the valley, three birds of prey squatting on the top of each arrow tower, and there are six middle-aged people with longbows standing in the arrow towers guarding the surroundings. If someone looks at the sky, they will notice that there are several fierce birds hovering in the sky, but they are very small and small from the ground, and it is difficult to spot them if you don't pay attention.

In the outer valley, there was a group of about 300 people practicing exercises, each of whom was accompanied by a ferocious beast, pounced and jumped under the command of his master.

There are also thirty or forty people from children to teenagers in the inner valley, where they practice shooting with bows and arrows, and then there are hundreds of large and small wooden houses, in front of which are sitting old people, most of the men are making longbows and bows and arrows, and the women are dealing with some animal meat or animal skins, and the people here have long hair of various colors, and have well-developed muscles, almost everyone has a longbow in their hands, and some also have other weapons such as large knives or daggers tied around their waists or backs, and many people are followed by all kinds of domesticated beasts. The occasional beast roar made this warm little valley exude a fierce aura.

Xida is an ordinary and special seven-year-old boy in the Shenshu tribe, compared with other boys of the same age in the tribe, he is not tall or low, bronzed skin, his figure does not look very strong, but he is not thin, with a black hair, yes, it is a modern one, this is different from other tribesmen, everyone has long hair, regardless of men and women, young and old, only Xida is this hairstyle.

Hilda has a pair of tiger eyes, but she always looks listless. Hilda was brought up by the wise grandfather of the tribe, and he had never seen his father or mother since he was a child, and no one told him where his father and mother were, and his name was given by his grandfather, this is Hilda. The people thought he was very withdrawn, but everyone understood him and was kind to him, which was Sida's own feeling.

He liked the atmosphere, the simplicity of the people, the lack of the fast pace of modern society, but he still didn't feel like life meant much. Because he is a time-traveler, he has been here for seven years, and although he has basically adapted to life here, he still has no goals for his future, and he feels that life is very boring. He is not as active as other children, and according to Sida's own understanding, he can even be described as savage. Their playthings are the various small animals around the tribe in the forest that are not very aggressive, and unless he has a unified hunting activity in the tribe, usually Sida climbs the tree alone to sleep, or chats with the only wise grandfather in the tribe.

Chatting with his grandfather was one of the few things he was interested in here, and through chatting with him, he got a general idea of the place.

This is the God-given continent, which was created by the gods for mortals to survive, and was named the God-given continent in gratitude to the gods.

The continent is ruled by three major dynasties, outside the mountain, they are the Tianlong Dynasty in the east, the Fog Sea Dynasty in the west, the Polar Ice Dynasty in the north, and the mountain where Xida is located is the southernmost demon forest on the continent, and it is said that three thousand years ago, it has been dominated by demon beasts.

The area of the Demon Forest is almost one-third the size of the entire continent, the Divine Tree Tribe is only a small tribe on the periphery of the forest, there are powerful demon beasts in the innermost part of the forest, and all the tribes in the forest are slowly evolved from the human alliance army stationed here a long time ago to encircle and suppress demons, so the people here are aggressive, in order to survive, they compete with wild beasts for food every day, and their bodies are more burly and strong than those outside the forest.

This is the world of the strong, the weak eat the strong, there are powerful demon races, there are all kinds of mysterious races, there are powerful martial arts and spells left over from ancient times, and there are also those mysterious unknown existences, in short, this is a mysterious and colorful world, but all of this is like a mythical story in Grandpa's mouth for Xida, just good, just to pass the time, there is not much attraction for him. Because first, he found that he didn't have any special abilities or treasures like the protagonists in modern novels because of the time travel; Second, Sida always feels that she is occupying other people's bodies, so she feels very uncomfortable; Thirdly, and most importantly, although he has been in this world for almost eight years, he still likes modern society and misses his family.

Today, Sida is lying on a branch more than ten meters high in the mountain behind the tribe, seemingly asleep, in fact, thinking about how to survive in this novel and strange world, or what kind of life he should live here, because after all, it is a new life, 7-year-old body, plus his previous life, the actual age is 25 years old, he wants to arrange what kind of life he lives here. There are no people and things here that he particularly cares about, even if it is the so-called father and mother, he has never taken the initiative to ask grandpa, because he knows that it is only the father and mother of this body, and grandpa has only taken him in. He's a person, a real person, an outsider who has nothing to do with anyone here, nothing to do with anything in this world.

Although he has been in this world for 7 years, everything here makes him feel unreal, so he has no motivation to live, he just wants to be a mortal in the ordinary, and even wants to die quickly and enter reincarnation, maybe he can return to modern times in the next life.

Xida shook his swollen head, no longer thinking about these incomprehensible questions, since he couldn't figure it out, then let it be, it didn't matter if there was anything or not, with this current body, in this primitive living environment, food and clothing were not a problem at all. Xida is such a person, sometimes he doesn't care about anything, he likes to go with the flow, sometimes he is very perfectionist, he is very harsh on himself, sometimes he likes to be quiet, sometimes he likes to be lively, in short, he is a changeable person.

Speaking of this body, Xida is whimsical again, if he returns to modern times with this body, what world boxing champion, what special forces, as long as he exercises a little in terms of skills, he will definitely kill all human creatures in seconds, with his current age of 7 years old, it is easy to lift a heavy object of three or five hundred pounds, this is still that he did not actively exercise, and did not dig deeper into the potential of this body. Everything here was new to him, plants, animals, only a few could find vague shadows, many could not even find similar shadows.

"Since you don't have any ability at the moment, let's go with the flow, be a passerby first, treat this place as a wonderful long-distance trip, and find your life purpose while enjoying the scenery along the way." Hilda jumped off the tree and habitually walked home.

Grandpa is the most knowledgeable person in the tribe, and the only one in the tribe who can open the inheritance of the sacred tree. The inheritance of the sacred tree once every hundred years is presided over by the wise men of the previous generations, and children in the tribe who have reached the age of seven can accept the inheritance, but the probability of success of the inheritance is very low, mainly because the spiritual power requirements of the inheritor are very perverted. A few days will be the most important day in the tribe, the Divine Tree Inheritance Day, and it is also the day of sacrificing the Divine Tree Soul Seed, the tribe will sacrifice all the plant demon cores accumulated in the past hundred years to the Divine Tree Soul Seed, for the Divine Tree to absorb and replenish energy, because every hundred years the Divine Tree Soul Seed will split out some young souls to pass on to the tribesmen, and each split will consume a lot of energy of the Divine Tree, so the main task of the tribe's main hunting team is to go out to hunt plant-based demon beasts, and every hunting will inevitably have deaths and injuries, Moreover, there are no plant-based demon beasts around the tribe, so they can only search deeper and deeper into the forest, which leads to the lack of energy of the divine tree soul species, and the young souls that can be split are becoming fewer and fewer, and the quality is getting lower and lower.

According to the experience of the ancestors, the level of the beast soul is divided into twelve levels, under normal circumstances, the beast soul of the same level can only control the demon beast below the same level, and the quality of the beast soul is divided into ordinary, excellent, rare, perfect four according to its growth rate, no matter what kind of beast soul level is determined according to the level that can control the demon beast, now the most powerful beast soul in the forest is the seventh-level silver wolf king of the silver wolf tribe, and the twelve-level is just a legend, and it has not been in the world for a long time. In the Divine Tree Tribe where Sida belongs, only the Patriarch and the Wise Person's Tree Soul have grown to level four, while there are only five people in the tribe who have beast souls, most of them are level two, and only the Hunting Captain's tree soul is level three.

Because the growth of the tree soul requires too much plant-based energy, and only by controlling plant-based demon beasts can it achieve perfect control, plus the inheritance of the beast soul is very harsh, rather than cultivating the beast soul, it is better to capture a powerful demon beast to domesticate, so most of the other people are capturing some suitable demon beast domestication to make up for the combat effectiveness. Those who have successfully inherited the beast god will show the mark of the inherited beast on their forehead, and they will have the breath of this kind of beast soul, and the strength of the breath is determined according to the level and quality of the beast soul. The person who has the beast soul is called the beast soul, and the beast soul control the demon beast mainly relies on the beast soul, this is the strength of the beast soul, as long as your beast soul is strong enough, then you are not fighting alone, you can let your beast soul control a group to fight, at the same time, the beast soul also has many special abilities related to the monster because of the soul species.

This time the sacred tree seems to have only split out three young souls, the specific quality is not very clear, grandpa said to let Xida also participate in the try, and feel that Xida's hope of success should be much more likely than other children, and Xida is also very interested in the beast soul, so he naturally agreed to try.
