Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Shadow on the Tombstone

Saying that, Lin Shuai didn't care what Muwen would do, and hurried to the grave he said.

"Am I wrong..."Looking at Lin Shuai's distant back, Mu Wen muttered a sentence in his mouth, then slowly closed his eyes and turned to face the snake spirit tree.

"I made the wrong choice, but ......' I'm right."

……

About 500 meters to the west, a row of dense snake spirit trees blocked the way of the two, and through the gap, it could be seen that there were simple tombs inside, which looked a little shabby, which was really not in line with the identity of the Great Elder.

It also has to do with the custom of the treemen, they never care about the form, everything in life is done in the simplest way, even the grave.

In fact, in addition to the Great Elder, ordinary treants do not need a grave at all, they will only leave a sapling after death, and then offer it to the spirit tree through sacrifice, and the spirit tree will revert the sapling to a wood spirit, so for the treants, death is equivalent to rebirth.

And the great elders are because they "nourish" the next generation, and there are not even saplings left after death, and the so-called graves are just memorial mounds.

The periphery of the cemetery was originally a wall formed by snake spirit trees, but now that the spirit trees have been destroyed, these snake spirit trees have lost control and turned into tall snake spirit trees, and the walls of the cemetery are naturally destroyed.

Fortunately, the tomb was not made of snake spirit wood.

……

"Look for it, I guess it's related to the Great Elder of the previous generation." Drilling into the cemetery, looking at the mounds, Lin Shuai said quickly.

Mu Grain didn't say what to do after coming to the cemetery, but looking at his appearance, it is estimated that the system is not designed for him to say the specific steps, and everything here still depends on the two of them to solve the puzzle, and the traditional tasks are all urine.

There are dozens of clothed mounds in the cemetery, but the only one who is suspicious now is the Great Elder from 20 years ago, at least for now, it seems that the beginning of all stories is caused by him, and there is a high probability that the hope referred to by Mu Grain refers to him.

Finding his grave is simple, the outermost grave of the tomb is his, and in front of the grave stands a stone tablet with two simplified paintings carved on it.

The description on the picture is simple.

In the first act, a tree man dressed in the service of a great elder is holding a staff and casting a spell on a distorted dryad, surrounded by several tree men, old and young, male and female, which probably sums up all the tree people.

In the next scene, after the tree demon turned into a human form, he put on the clothes of the Great Elder and bowed down in front of him, and there were also several tree men standing beside him.

It should be about the process of the previous Great Elder turning Mao Kai from a dryad into a tree man, and in addition, there is no written information about the identity of this Great Elder engraved on the tombstone, so I don't know if it is a strange custom of a tree man.

Lin Shuai noticed that next to the onlookers in each painting, there was always a black painted area, which looked the same size as an ordinary treeman, like a shadow, but more like the product of graffiti, but on the tombstone of an elder, there should be no children's graffiti.

"It's kind of weird." Lin Shuai wondered, the appearance of unsocial things on a good tombstone is always so eye-catching.

Especially on the tombstone without any color, the abrupt appearance represents an ominous black, which reveals a trace of weirdness no matter how you look at it.

"There is no mechanism." Zero walked up to Lin Shuai's side and said, she searched the entire tomb when Lin Shuai was observing the tombstone, and found no strange place.

"Look at this..."Lin Shuai pointed to the black on the tombstone, his fingertips touched the tombstone, and then he saw that the black was a little lighter, interrupting Lin Shuai's words.

"It was charcoal-smeared!" Lin Shuai was surprised, and then wiped the black ball vigorously until it disappeared from the tombstone, and the material stained on his hands confirmed Lin Shuai's guess even more.

Zero took a closer look around and got an even more surprising answer, "It was just painted." ”

The answer to this is actually very simple, the Treant tribe is located in the Sky Weeping Forest, and the fog in the Sky Weeping Forest is extremely heavy, usually between 5 and 8 o'clock in the morning, the entire forest is shrouded in fog.

If the black charcoal on the tombstone had been painted before, it would have been eroded by the fog and damp, and even if it dried, it would have changed instead of the current one.

Therefore, this trace must have just been painted by someone, and it was in the short period of time that the two of them came here!

Because the tomb was guarded by the Treants before the accident, it was impossible to allow this to happen.

"Someone wants to tell us something..."Lin Shuai said solemnly.

The black marks on the tombstone were painted off, and the pattern of the sacrifice was obscured by the color.

There was no fire in the Treant tribe, and charcoal was the thing they hated the most, and the reason why the man who smeared the marks used charcoal was to get the attention of the two.

"He knew we were coming here, so he left a mark to tell us something." Lin Shuai said slowly, with an inexplicable chill in his heart.

"We were deceived." Zero faintly added what he was going to say next.

"Boom!" As if to confirm her words, a violent roar was heard in the distance, which was the direction of Maokai's existence.

"The plot is not at a level that we can meddle in, why did he lie to us, and besides, who is the person who prompted us?" Lin Shuai frowned and thought.

Then I saw that the grave in front of me began to change, not one, but all.

"Who is ......" a distant murmur resounded in this cemetery, echoing from far to near.

"Smack." A stone on the grave trembled and fell to the ground, followed by a handful of loess......

The graves quickly fell apart in front of the two of them, as if an invisible giant hand was digging hard, and large depressions appeared on the tombs, leaking out dark holes.

In that hole, countless pairs of dark green eyes suddenly lit up.

……

"It's almost the same, prophecy or something, it's really annoying." Jing muttered to herself to the wood grain of the snake spirit tree, and the crisp girlish voice came out from under the old face, which looked particularly weird.

"Go and collect the runes first, and hopefully my little ones will take care of those two pesky humans."

As he spoke, Mu Wen raised his hand and stroked his earlobe, a black light flashed, and the aging tree man sacrifice suddenly turned into a figure shrouded in black robes.

"Sunshine is even more annoying than prophesied."

……

On the battlefield on the other side, Mu Sen stood to the side with red eyes, slowly put away the staff in his hand, and in front of him, there was no longer a standing tree man.

The disdainful tone of "a group of crumb......" fluctuated violently, and that was because of the great stimulation in the heart.

The speed at which Mu Sen slaughtered the Treant villagers was far beyond the expectations of the two, and it could even be said to be terrifying, even Mao Kai's attack could resist a few Treant warriors, and under the strength of his physical body, he had no ability to fight back at all, let alone ordinary villagers.

After tearing more than a dozen treemen in a row with brute force, seeing that the treeman in front of him actually dared to wave a weapon against him, the inexplicable anger in Mu Sen's heart was completely ignited, and then he used the wood grain to sacrifice the heavenly rain that he had used.

The difference was that he didn't need to rely on the power of the Divine Spring, and besides, gray raindrops were floating in the sky.

In a drizzle, mixed with countless green points of light, within the range covered by gray, there was no longer a living tree man or dryad, and the originally noisy battlefield was suddenly silent and terrifying.

"How dare you resist me... How dare you resist me...", Mu Sen's red eyes flashed with a palpitating light.

The crunching sound of clutching the staff in his hand made it clear that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

"Awesome, amazing..."Moffett exclaimed sincerely, and if it weren't for the brilliance of the shield in his hand, he would have even applauded Mu Sen.

Mu Sen looked back at him sharply as if he was frightened, "It's not me..."

Halfway through his words, he seemed to remember something, and his tone softened, slowly becoming calmer, "Oh, I did it." ”

He had almost forgotten that he was no longer the weak tree man who was expelled from the tribe by the Great Elder a thousand years ago, and that he no longer needed to make a mistake and wait for others to punish him in fear, and he no longer needed to fight the terrifying dryad for a little food......

Thinking about it, Mu Sen straightened up, "I almost forgot, I am now your most respected priest." ”

"Huh." Moffett watched with interest as Mu Sen performed alone in the room, he knew everything about Mu Sen, although he had not lived as long as Mu Sen.

However, apart from that one, I am afraid that he is the only person in the world who knows Mu Sen's experience best.

"Don't worry, Mu Teng has been dead for a thousand years." couldn't help but remind Mu Sen again, and his spirit seemed to have fallen into a very unstable state.

"Great Elder Mu Teng...", the body that stood up straight unconsciously bent down, and looked around in horror.

Then he immediately returned to normal, "He's all dead, I'm going to be afraid of him?" ”

Mu Sen looked like a clown performing a mime on stage, at least that's what Moffett thought.

"He's been dead for a thousand years, and I'll be afraid of him!" Mu Sen repeated loudly, gradually gaining confidence in his heart, and glanced at Moffett.

"Don't scare me with that old thing, I saw him when he died!" Mu Sen said sharply, he didn't pay attention, and when he said this, crystal droplets seemed to appear in the corners of his eyes.

Yes, it's a drop of water, and the tree man has no tears, so it must be a drop of water.

"Who are you...... Oh, I remember, I should have killed you. He cursed the figure countless times in his heart, and the fragments of memories that disappeared were stimulated poured into his mind.

The red in his eyes subsided a little, and Mu Sen remembered what had just happened, and took a few deep breaths silently to regulate his fluctuating emotions.

"I used to be the sacrifice of the tribe, and from now on, I will be the leader of all the tree people." Mu Sen closed his eyes and said lightly, and when he opened his eyes again, the red color had all faded.

I will get stronger and stronger and prove everything you say and do wrong.
