"The elder is here, get out of the way. ”

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the elder has seen the messenger, let him see. ”

"Elder. ”

As the guards approached, the crowd dispersed on both sides, revealing the figures of Mu Chen and Qi Luna.

The half-seated and half-lying elder suddenly struggled to raise his head, he was more than a hundred years old, he had long lost his mobility, his face was emaciated, his temples were white, and he desperately raised his eyes covered by folded eyelids, staring at the two people in the crowd, his fingers and lips twitching at the same time, trying to speak, but he didn't make a sound.

"Elder, what's wrong with you?" asked the guard beside him.

"Quick... Fast... It's an ambassador... Ambassadors... Mu Chen and Mistress Qiluna... Quick..."

In fact, they were only more than ten meters away from the crowd, but when they heard the "ambassador" in the elder's mouth, the guards were surprised and behaved like the elders, carrying the reclining chairs and running quickly into the circle, and even knocked down the crowd that retreated on both sides.

"Slow down, slow down, the old man will fall in a moment. Mu Chen took two steps back and raised his hand to signal.

"Lord Mu Chen, Lord Qiluna, I... I've lived for 100 years, and today I finally see you again. God bless my spirits... God forbid... Cough... Ahem..."The elder, who was usually bedridden, actually raised his hands and got up slightly, but because he was so emotional, he coughed before he finished speaking.

"Wait, wait, don't get excited, have we met?" Mu Chen looked at Qi Luna suspiciously.

Kiruna shook her head, indicating that she didn't know him.

"Lord Mu Chen, I... Me... The spirit is strong, the boy next to the elder back then, the little fat dun... Fat Dun...", the elder trumpeted his cheeks to help them remember.

"Haha... Ha, you old... Fat dun... Fat dun, I remember, how did you..."

"Ambassador, we haven't seen each other in nearly a hundred years, and I'm already an old man who has been crippled for many years, you remember. ”

Qi Luna stepped forward, pinched his face with both hands, turned back to Mu Chen and said, "It's him." ”

"Yes, yes, when I was a child, you always pinched my face, and it's been almost a hundred years in the blink of an eye. I've been waiting for you at last. ”

Lingxi Zhuang Zhuang is the eldest of the Spirit Clan, and the only elder of the Spirit Clan in charge of all affairs, he has always been unsmiling and cautious in his position, and today's abnormal performance in front of everyone surprised the clansmen present, and at the same time, it also proved the identity of Mu Chen and Qi Luna.

"Quick, kneel down to meet the ambassador, think about it for decades, and today finally get what you want. ”

At the order of the elders, the spirits knelt down one after another, pressed their foreheads to the ground, and shouted words such as "Welcome ambassadors, it is an honor to meet you today."

"Alright, alright, Fat Dun, let them get up, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"Lord Mu Chen, we have lived for decades... It's a long story, but you'd better go with me to the House of Elders first. ”

The news of the ambassador's arrival spread quickly, and almost all the spirits living here went out to watch, and the roads to the Elders' House and overhead were filled with crowds, cheers and the sound of flapping wings mingled, and this sunny and green town growing on the top of the trees finally took on what it should be.

Located in the center of the town, the House of Elders is built on the basis of four sturdy tree trunks, suspended in the air. The square three-story wooden building, with small flowers of various colors blooming on the outer wall woven with branches and canes, makes people yearn for it and feel comfortable.

"Come, carry the two messengers up. ”

"Come on, Fat Dun, when I came in and out of here, your wings hadn't grown yet. With that, Qi Luna handed Mu Chen a dagger, and he used the dagger to move left and right from the two tree trunks opposite the Elders' House, and after reaching a height level with the Elders' House, he bent his legs and rushed into the door with an arrow.

Chiluna followed in the same way, and the elder was carried by the guards and flew in. A few people sat down in the hall, where all the furniture grew out of the floor, and the position was fixed and could not be moved. Wings are hung from each window of the house to maximize the sunlight and illuminate the whole room.

Although the foundation of Spirit Tree City is built on the rational use of the Penetrating Wing, every building and landscape can be seen in their ingenuity and sparing no effort.

With the help of the chief guard, the elder adjusted his sitting posture and faced Mu Chen and Qi Luna.

"Two envoys, I was so happy that I forgot to ask why you came?"

"Although I have always wanted to visit here, I was afraid that it would disturb your quiet life, so I cut off contact with you. This time I'm here to ask for some Penetrating Wings, and I'm asking for your help. ”

"What our spirit clan has is through the wings, Lord Mu Chen, you can take it, you are welcome. It's just an ordinary wing that can only amplify the light, I don't know what you're going to use it for?"

"Help humanity defend against demonic beasts..."

Mu Chen roughly recounted the events of Qiming Village, and everyone present was dumbfounded, they hadn't heard the news outside for nearly a hundred years, but they didn't expect the wings that grew on their bodies to be so powerful.

"Although we have not dealt with foreigners for a long time, it is a matter of life, so I will prepare more for you and send someone to fetch it immediately. ”

"One hundred and ten exhibitions are enough, the wings on your body are in demand in the human continent, the price is expensive, and it is easy to cause trouble. ”

"It's all up to you, I didn't expect to see you two again in my lifetime, it's really..."

With a "poof", Mu Chen turned his head and spit out the tea in his mouth, interrupting what Lingxi Zhuang was about to say.

"Fat Dun, what is this, it's too bad to drink. He wiped the corners of his mouth as he spoke.

"Come on, quickly change the honey tea for Lord Mu Chen, how can you use this kind of thing to entertain the ambassador. ”

The attendant hurriedly took the teacup in front of the two of them and went out to change the drink.

"I'm done with it, it's your turn, from the moment I stepped into the city, I felt strange when I saw your pale faces and thin bodies, and then you shouted what God bless the Spirit Clan, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"Two envoys, you helped us fight against the Dragon Clan, forced the Yu Clan to stop fighting with us, and found this temporary shelter for us. Alas..."

"What are you doing when you mention these things about old sesame seeds and rotten grains, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, and I will definitely help you solve it. ”

"Someone, go and call the spirit rhino cocoa. ”

In between waiting for someone, the attendant came in with honey tea, and Mu Chen took two sips to cover the smell just now, but it obviously felt much lighter than ordinary honey tea, and the sweetness was not enough.

After a while, Lingxi Coco followed the chief of the guard in, the same fair skin, emaciated face, and golden hair color made her even more weak, but fortunately, her facial features were sweet and full of energy, and on the whole, although she was slightly tired, it was not enough to make people feel pity.

"Coco, I've seen the two messengers soon. ”

Lingxi Coco was about to bow down to worship as the elder ordered, but was stopped by Mu Chen waving his hand, and then asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by calling her here?"

"Two envoys, we have been hiding in this Spirit Tree City for a hundred and ten years, as you can see, all of them are pale and skinny, and the high-spirited and high-spirited appearance of the year is long gone, my old man who is about to die is not at a loss, and after a hundred years of peaceful life, but they..."

Lingxi Zhuang Zhuang paused and breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "His name is Lingdong Wuwu, and he is my chief guard. Her name is Lingxi Coco, and she is my granddaughter, and I am going to pass on the position of the elder to both of them when I die..."

"Fat Dun, do you want to explain the aftermath to me, or... What the hell do you mean, get straight to the point. ”

"Lord Mu Chen, I... I want the two of them to leave Spirit Tree City with the entire Spirit Clan and return to their normal lives. ”

As soon as the words fell, except for Mu Chen and Qi Luna, the rest of the people looked at the elder in a panic, and the horror in their eyes was no less than when they first saw Mu Chen, "This, ah, elder" and other words occasionally sounded, but no one dared to express their opinions.

"Lord Mu Chen, Lord Qiluna, if we live here any longer, we will really be wiped out. We use the wings to solve the problem of lack of sunlight, and the light is solved, but you look at us, all white cautious people, there is no blood on the whole body. In order to escape the war, the whole clan moved here, and it was safe, but there was not enough food, and everyone was starving, barely surviving. By continuous experimentation, we graft fruits and grow vegetables, but those high-energy, high-fat grains and meat can't do anything, and the honey tea you just drank is all obtained by luck over the years, and even bees don't build nests at such a high place. There is nothing but safety here, and the beautiful treetop city is a prison for green leaves and branches in my eyes, which erodes our flesh little by little with seeming comfort, and finally becomes their fertilizer. ”

After the elder finished speaking, he couldn't stop crying, and Lingxi Coco stepped forward to comfort him with tears, while the others lowered their heads and choked, swallowing the words they wanted to ask into their stomachs.

Spirit Tree City was a temporary refuge that Mu Chen found in order to settle them, and the Spirit Clan and the Yu Clan fought against each other for decades in order to compete for resources. The two sides were originally evenly matched, regardless of high and low, but in order to eliminate the spirit clan, the elders of the Yu clan would rather send people under the fence, and also moved to Longya Mountain, for the dragon clan, the strength of the two clans was immediately reversed, and the spirit clan was almost slaughtered.

In the year of the incident, Mu Chen and Qi Luna happened to be in Longya Mountain, they challenged the Dragon Clan many times without success, and when they were about to leave, they were attacked by a large number of migrating Yu Clan, and after fighting back with all their might, they killed countless wounds, and since then they have made a feud with the Yu Clan, and by chance they got acquainted with the elders of the Spirit Clan at that time, so they fought against Dragon Cliff Mountain together.

The two finally reached the top, defeated the dragons, and took two as mounts, which are now the black dragon and the golden dragon. Then forced the Yu clan to make peace, and the war between the two clans ended.

In addition to humans, there are also many races living in the human continent, they are the same as humans, they will not be resurrected after being killed, Mu Chen and Qiluna killed a large number of people during the war, so he was worried that the Yu clan would be worried about this matter, so before leaving, he arranged the spirit clan at the top of the giant crocodile forest to avoid the risk for the time being, so as not to take the opportunity to retaliate. Unexpectedly, this avoidance lasted for nearly a hundred years, and he only heard about it later, thinking that the people he knew well were either old or had been buried in the ground, so he didn't bother again. Having said this today, their current situation is indeed related to themselves.

"I didn't know that you have been hiding for so long, the outside world has changed a lot, the humans who held the city in the past are now all over the continent, and the places rich in products are occupied by them, and they have a tough attitude towards foreign races, even our hired people have to act according to their faces. ”

"Lord Mu Chen, I didn't ask you to take us away now, nor did I ask for fertile woodland, you just need to help us find a suitable place to live, if it is under the jurisdiction of humans, we are willing to exchange it for penetrating wings, and we are also willing to abide by the human system, if it belongs to other races, I hope you can mediate between it, we can suffer any kind of suffering and sin, and any kind of demonic beast can rely on itself to resist, and will never cause trouble to anyone, as long as we no longer live so reluctantly." ”

"Please, Messenger, my grandfather's wishes are related to the rise and fall of our entire race, and you must help us. Lingxi Coco, who had never spoken, saw his grandfather's eager appearance, and immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded sincerely.

The rest of the spirits in the room also knelt down, clasped their hands together, and begged them for their answer, as if they were worshipping a god.

"But if you have another conflict with the Yu Clan, there is nothing I can do, I will not stay here for long, and I will not be able to guarantee your safety. ”

"Lord Mu Chen, we have been hiding for a hundred years, any kind of grievances should be resolved, I am willing to go to Longya Mountain in person to negotiate with the Dragon Clan and the Yu Clan, as long as we are left a way to live, I promise that I will not fight with them again. ”

The old tearful elder, the successor who can't afford to kneel, looks like he is begging bitterly, and the decision is in your hands, but in fact, who can face such a situation and refuse coldly, besides, there is still the love of the past, Mu Chen had to nod and agree.

From the very beginning, he actually agreed to the elder's request in his heart, but he was afraid that they would encounter any problems after leaving Baoling Prefecture, with their current strength, it would not be enough to protect themselves, and then they would become what they were a hundred years ago, and they would not be so lucky to survive.

"Thank you, Messenger, thank you. We spirits are saved. Everyone's words of thanks were endless, but Mu Chen frowned, thinking about how to find a satisfactory solution.

"Two ambassadors, come with me. The spirit was lifted by the guards, flew out of the elders' house, and hovered in the air. Mu Chen and Qi Luna could only stand at the door, not knowing what he was going to do.

"Children, after discussing with the ambassadors Mu Chen and Qi Luna, for the sake of our health and the vigorous growth of future generations, it has been preliminarily decided that the people will move and leave the Spirit Tree City, and our clan will return to the sun, get out of the giant tree cage that has trapped us for a hundred years, and find the full blood of our ancestors, and rely on our hands to fight for the great struggle of the Spirit Clan again, long live the ambassadors, long live the Spirit Clan. ”

The elder announced the resolution sonorously, everyone was silent, not a confused and doubtful expression, nor a frightened look, like time standing still, the pupils dilated, staring at the air with a wooden streak, after more than ten seconds, cheers rang out, applause thundered, the slogan of "Long live the ambassador and long live the spirit race" resounded in the sky, and the depression that had accumulated for many years broke out, and the entire giant crocodile forest trembled.
