【Path to the Sun】10: Heart of the Forest

Forests fall in patches, broken trees creak and clump down, and birds leave their homes for destruction, their wings colliding. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Forest...... It is being destroyed.

Udir fell asleep deep in the forest, his steady breathing gradually showing turbulence.

He had been asleep for so long, his tousled beard and hair haphazardly tangled, his torn robes covered with mold, many places eroded away, vines and roots encircling his body, and the earth tenderly accepting him from below.

He is the messenger of the beast spirit and the ancient god of the beast spirit, and a friend of the forest.

Somewhere deep in his consciousness, he was already connected to the forest, he was like the heart of the forest, the forest was like his senses and limbs, or the other way around.

Pain came from the minutiae.

It wasn't that he hadn't experienced anything like it, and one year, in his early years of sleep, a thunder elephant went berserk, and it rushed into the forest from the grassy meadow, and the large trees fell down, and it violently crashed out of a path.

But this time it's different.

It was as if a huge silkworm was gnawing on mulberry leaves, eating the whole forest smoothly and quickly, starting from the edge, and the fallen trees were not thrown into the arms of the earth, they were quickly collected, as if swallowed into a bottomless abyss.

Mankind...... It's humans who do this.

He was not unfamiliar with the woodcutters of the village, who struck the trunks of trees with their small, sharp axes with a crisp sound, and they were in groups, but they knew the season, as if they were grinding their teeth in the forest.

This time, however, it was devastating.

He had never felt such a speed of devouring, and such a speed would bring inevitable disaster to the forest. He wanted to know what it was, what was eating away at the forest,

The power of the beast spirit surged in his body, and Asuka lent him eyes and ears to bring distant sights to him.

The trees fell one after another not far away, and the noise of the frightened birds turned into a wail of loss of their home in his ears, and he heard the roar there, and from the smoke and dust rising from the falling trees, he saw an unusually thick black smoke, wisps of black smoke rising into a thick canopy of sky.

A little closer? Udir encouraged the bird who was willing to be his eyes and ears. It's just that the smoke has a strange smell that makes these animals reluctant to come closer.

His five senses were connected to the birds, and now he began to smell the breath, choking with a hot temperature. The shrinking edge of the forest was looming, and as it was unclear which of the nearby trees would be cut down next, Udir chose the direction of the flank to get closer to the truth.

It was a giant steel monster.

Black smoke emanated from the iron pipes behind it, enveloping the scorching water vapor, and it seemed to be assembled from many parts, with willow nails exposed where they were connected. Each forearm was attached to a large circular hacksaw, which was frantically propelled by the terrifying energy.

The hard bark quickly broke under the hacksaw's cuts, revealing smooth growth rings. The monster began to move, the hacksaw's forearm stretched out, cutting off the branches and leaves that had spread out at both ends of the tree, and the fallen trees were swallowed up by the steel monster's maw, and were swallowed by the huge monster.

Rows of neatly cut wood fell from behind the beast, and the stranger with a fierce expression brandished his whip and whipped the slave in the face of the east. Udir recognized the faces of these men, who were woodcutters from nearby villages who had been chopping wood for generations.

Now they are being driven to transport the strips of timber to a nearby camp. Udir used the power of the beast spirit to drive the bird to follow in their footsteps.

In the open camp, countless Gentiles were busy, they were scribbling on the sticks with rulers, and then making grooves in the right places, others were working on the hides, and they were preparing for what they were doing, as if the materials were used to build the camp, and the quantities required were enormous, and they were not here to build, but to prepare for the rapid construction.

Udir saw a strange structure at the edge of the camp, no, it wasn't a building, it looked like a few dark tin houses, connected by small knots in between, with wheels strung up underneath, and stopped on two smooth, straight tracks, but there was not the slightest sign of slipping.

It's a bizarre car.

The doors were ajar, but I couldn't tell what was inside, the light was dim, and there were no windows, so I could only see something like an iron box.

What are they doing? Why are the Gentiles here? Why did the nearby villagers become slaves of the Gentiles?

I don't know.

And most importantly, why would they spoil the tranquility here?

The bird flapped its wings and flew high into the air, Udir's five senses slowly receded from the bird's body, and the sleeping beast spirit walker showed a cruel smile like a beast, and the corners of his mouth were wide open to reveal bright red gums.

The beast's power echoed through the vine branches wrapped around his body, echoing his whispers through the vast forest.

The beasts raised their heads and ears pricked up, and they heard the rustling of leaves wrapped in the words of the beast spirit walker.

The Beast Spirit Walker is the messenger chosen by the Beast Spirit God among the human beings, and now the ancient shamanism has long since declined in the Valoran Continent, but it has been passed down from generation to generation like their instinct to fly and bite, as well as the voice of the Beast Spirit God.

The voice was the supreme command to them.

He's whispering, he's saying, "Destroy those invaders." ”

The silent forest began to turn noisy, and the herds began to run, their streamlined bodies revealing their muscular muscles, and they gathered from all directions as if they were a large army.

Instead of controlling the herd, Udir's power communicates with them, and now they spontaneously converge into a torrent.

When the first tiger leaped out of the forest, the Noxian overseers were stunned by the sudden attack, and an Ionian slave crouched down with his head in his hands, and the Noxian overseer, who did not know what was happening, was whipping him, and when he heard the tiger's mighty roar, he turned his head, but it was too late.

The tiger pounced on his head and bit down on the bloody basin with his saliva. Screaming, struggling, and finally turning into a mass of flesh that was being torn under the tiger.

Another Noxus overseer was also pounced on by the beast, and others were pecked by the hovering birds, and had to wave their arms in vain to protect their heads. A wild boar howled and arched him, its sharp fangs piercing through the Noxian's body.

The Ionians soon realized that these forest beasts seemed to be spiritual, that they had no intention of harming them, and that what they were doing, as all Ionians desired, was to drive these invaders out of the place—the people who invaded the forest, the people who invaded the peaceful land of Ionia!

The Ionians stood up, and the people shouted, and they attacked the Noxians with the galloping herd.

The torrent of herds and Ionians was almost unstoppable, but they soon ran into obstacles.

Reinforcements were sent from Noxus Camp.

"Get back to work!" A gloomy and hoarse voice sounded.
