"I can understand the old village chief's thoughts, our Shenshu Village has always lived on its own, and he feels unsteady when he pins everything on God."

"You should have heard rumors of other tribal gods, and tribes and gods are interdependent. For the sake of faith, the gods need to have complete control over the tribe and will not allow voices that differ from Him. Neither had a choice, and even if someone angered the gods, he would not cause irreparable harm to the entire tribe. ”

"The Tree God is obviously different, the god produced by the sacrifice does not experience the Thunder Tribulation, he is only manifested after the Thunder Tribulation. I speculate that his existence is similar to that of a demon god, as evidenced by the fact that he can leave the village entirely. ”

"In other words, we are unilaterally under the protection of God."

"The Tree God does not have the slightest desire to control the tribe, and the reason why he shelters us is because of the love we have spent with for countless years. The Sacred Tree Village is inseparable from the Tree God, and we must dedicate our faith and show our worth so that we will not be abandoned by the Tree God. ”

"The village chief's idea is well-intentioned, and he wants us to be self-reliant, and his attitude will not anger the tree god for a while. However, the more you use it, the less you use it. When the Tree God feels that we don't need Him, or that we run out of affection, do we really have the ability to gain a foothold in the Ganquan Mountains? ”

"Standing alive? Or do you give your faith for the future of your village? Me and the village chief, who is wrong? ”

The village chief is the person Shi Shu respects the most, but he is like this. Shi Shu, who was in a complicated mood, confided in his comrades-in-arms while drinking a bowl of juice from time to time, and soon fell asleep groggily.

The two of them carefully carried the stone tree to the bedroom, and then everyone left together.

It's too complicated! Leave these things to the two of them, and we'll only be responsible for bringing back plenty of prey. Everyone went home to rest with a smile, as long as there was no conflict between Shi Shu and the village chief, they didn't bother to think about other things.

Young people, I don't know that disagreement is more terrible than any contradiction.

The next day, Shi Shu went to visit the village chief's house with gifts.

As soon as the door opened, the village chief saw the things he was carrying, his face immediately changed, and he slammed the door shut.

The village chief's reaction was too intense, and Shi Shu was a little confused by the second monk. He stood in front of the village chief's house and thought for a while, then looked at the things he was carrying, and then suddenly realized.

"Uncle, I brought good tobacco leaves. Some time ago, I was afraid that you would not be able to control the pumping too much and hurt your body, so I only took out a small part. It's all for you anyway, and it's all for you today. ”

Shishu shouted loudly into the courtyard.

The village chief opened the courtyard door with a tense face, snatched the tobacco leaves, ignored the stone tree at the door, and went straight back to the main hall.

Seeing that the village chief did not close the door again, Shi Shu smiled and walked into the wide open door.

"Boy, I'm still polite. Next time I come to the door with a gift, I'll break your legs. ”

The village chief, who smashed his mouth, pretended to emphasize fiercely.

"Uncle, my big man, what do you call 'boy', it's really."

"What, excuse me? In my eyes, you've always been the little kid who peed your pants. ”

The two of them had their own hearts and minds, and they no longer spoke, and the only sound in the lobby was the village chief smoking.

"Uncle, it stands to reason that your proposal should be made by me, a big man. You don't have to bear that much. ”

Shi Shu said ashamedly.

"You've been thinking about this all night?"

The village chief asked with a smirk.

"Don't you just want to risk sacrificing yourself to find out what the village is going to do? Could it be that there is something else? Shi Shu humbly asked.

"Oh, what do you think? It's just the two of us here, and we can just say it. The village chief's words are all about teaching Shishu.

"You want to test the Dryad's desire to control the village, and even if the Dryad-sama gets angry, it's only your fault. In case of success, the Sacred Tree Village will be even stronger. You sacrifice your ego to fulfill it..."

As he spoke, Shi Shu was moved to tears and looked at the village chief with admiration.

"! I haven't lived long enough. Oh, I see, you kid thinks of the tree god as a murderous demon god. ”

The village chief hurriedly stopped Shi Shu and prevented him from continuing. The village chief looked at Shi Shu's moving appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, he was not so great.

"Think about it, has the Treant ever shown a desire for faith?"

"Nope!"

Shi Shu suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and stood up in shock.

"The body forging technique passed down by Lord Tree God is naturally wonderful, but it can't make us all the people in the village make such great progress, and the power of faith should be used by Lord Tree God on us."

As soon as the village chief spoke, Shi Shu couldn't believe it, he had never heard of such a generous god.

"You, you're still young, how do you know the miracles of heaven and earth. Does God necessarily need faith? Is God either a belief or a demon? I don't know, uncle, but I don't think everything is limited to what I know. ”

Shi Shu admired the wisdom of the village chief, and he still ate less salt, and the pride that had risen some time ago disappeared at this moment.

"Why did you have to argue with me last night?"

The stone tree still has something to understand.

"It's you kid who is against me, and the authority of the village chief must be maintained. Regardless of whether or not the Tree God will leave, and when he will leave, I believe that I, an ordinary person who will die at any time, is far less stable than believing in the Tree God. One hundred and three villagers, one thousand four hundred and twenty-one prisoners, it is not a matter of strict defense. ”

"I haven't been able to give you grace and power, but you kid took the initiative to cooperate and stand up to promote the status of the tree god in the village. Our good life is visible to the naked eye, and as long as they are sure of their faith, it is believed that these captives will soon integrate into the village. ”

The village said with a smile that the stone trees were also unintentionally planted with willows and willows.

"If I hadn't contradicted you, how are you going to exert your power?"

Shi Shu asked curiously.

"It's all gone, what's the use."

"Isn't that a little more learning from you?"

"How can there be immortals in the mountains and forests, when can slaves live so well, and it is not a pity for those who waste food to die! Shenshu Village lacks people, but it is better to lack than to abuse, and such people joining the village will drag down the development of the village. ”

Not to mention the Ganquan area, where life is difficult, if you want to come to a wealthy place, you will not care about the lives of slaves.

Of course, Shi Shu, who was fighting on the front line, was not a woman's benevolent person, and he deeply agreed with the village chief's handling method.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and winter is coming. There were far fewer battles in the Ganquan Mountains, but the intensity of each battle was not comparable to what it had been before.

Whether they are intelligent creatures or not, they understand that finding enough food to survive the winter in the only time they have left is their only way to survive. This is the most dangerous time, and the battle involving food is often life and death, and the beasts, aliens, and humans who are cornered are all desperate.

Creatures that are sure to survive the winter have nested in their nests early to guard their food, avoiding the wild beasts that go berserk outside. Building a nest in a safe place is an extremely important skill, and if discovered, it is likely to make a wedding dress for someone else.

Outside Shenshu Village, everyone is working overtime, striving to expand the village as soon as possible. At this moment, there is no need to worry about slaves stealing and cheating. Buildings that can protect from the cold must be provided to the villagers first, and the slaves are kept in a very simple place, which is difficult to endure in the autumn, and it is fortunate that they do not die in the winter.

If they can't build a new wall as soon as possible, how can they have time to improve their living place, it's a matter of their lives, and I don't believe they won't die.

The tired and sweaty slaves had long inadvertently noticed Captain Shishu standing on the wall of the new city. They didn't have much time to waste, and continued to bury their heads and work, what did the arrival of Captain Shishu have to do with them.

"Rest for a quarter of an hour, I have something important to say."

Shi Shu wanted to make the situation as solemn as possible, after all, it was a major event related to the development of the village. But the slaves who were racing against time did not have time to listen to him, wipe their sweat, drink water, sit down and rest, and none of them were interested in the news he brought.

"Everybody's busy, I'm not talking nonsense. Aquatic, water stone, hookah, fish two, fish tail, pig three, pig tail, cow seven or eight, cow one three... and 99 other people performed well and were recognized by most of the villagers. From now on, you will be officially accepted as a villager of Shenshu Village! ”

The named man stayed where he was in surprise, and the envy and jealousy in the eyes of the other slaves were about to turn into substance.

"Okay, you follow me to the temple, and under the witness of the tree god, you will officially become a member of the glorious god tree village."

Shi Shu didn't care about their feelings, winter was coming, and his temper was a little irritable as in previous years. Although this year's Shenshu Village is fully prepared and the winter is no longer terrifying, Shishu still hasn't changed the habits he has developed in previous years.

The group walked to the center of the village, and after being blocked by the houses, the relatives of those who were chosen became the envy of everyone in their place.

Not everyone can eat and wait for death without burden, and even if they can get through it, what about the old and weak women and children in the family? Having missed an opportunity, they were determined to appear on the second list of accepted candidates.

Lazy people are an example after all, and when hope arises, they burst out with extraordinary enthusiasm.

The new village of Shenshu was soon completed, and compared to the old dilapidated village, the new tribe was larger, with houses arranged vertically and horizontally, and it was a thriving scene. The city wall is mixed with earth and stone, and instruments such as horse and deer antlers are placed under the city, and there are villagers on the city wall all the time, which means that Shenshu Village has a good defensive power.

The results are large, and there are many people who have become regulars, and the old and weak and those with physical problems are also taken into account, and there are not many slaves in a few batches.

For the remaining less than a hundred slaves, the village chief and others took a resigned attitude, and they could survive the winter before disposing of it.

...

In the blink of an eye, winter arrives, and the snow covers the entire mountain range, creating a lifeless white world.

Even though it seemed dead dead on the outside, there were still two groups of villagers patrolling the walls of Shenshu Village alternately.

Don't be deceived by appearances, hungry beasts, alien attacks on villages happen more than once a year. Although the strength of the Divine Tree Village has improved rapidly, all of them can be called superhumans, but this world is not ordinary, in case of a big demon or evil god, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Muzuku, be merciful under your mouths, no one will brave the cold wind to send us ingredients after eating."

When the two teams changed shifts, a young man looked at the only bits of meat left on the board and said dissatisfied.

"Withered Branch, what you said is not right. Two stoves are set up in the castle tower, and if you want to eat, you can eat, and don't complain that others eat too much. ”

After saying that, Mu Block was afraid of a big belly, and went out to patrol with a smile.

Except for a few patrols sent out every day, the rest of the villagers stayed in the wooden huts to eat, drink, and make children. Soon after the arrival of winter, the weather was not too cold to be acceptable, and when the fire in the hut did not bring warmth, they would open the cellar and rest in it.

At the village chief's house, Shi Shu and the village chief's family sat in front of the wooden pot, and the fragrance was overflowing, and they didn't move their chopsticks.

"Dad, the meat is almost rotten."

The village chief's son reminded that there was really no way to ignore the sound of a few melon babies swallowing saliva.

"Look at me, you're polite, do whatever you want to eat. Now it's different, don't worry about wild beasts storming the village. ”

Shi Shu also came to his senses, the village did not need him to be ready to go out and fight hard, his body immediately relaxed, and joined the ranks of snatching food.

...

Winter is the best time to recuperate for creatures with plenty of food. There is not much time to relax in the world of the jungle, happy days are always short-lived, and spring is fast approaching.

"It came at the end of summer, and now it's spring. Halfway through the year's mission, I haven't been out of this small village yet. When it comes to 'Gou', I don't accept anyone, I only admire myself. ”

Other players are ignorant and fearless, relying on the resurrection quota to do things unscrupulously. They also have unscrupulous capital, who makes them the Dawn Star people who are upright and red, and the people of the Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Dao will not deliberately target them, and no idle god or demon will observe a small insect, very steady. When he died, he went back to resurrection, and after a while, he was a good man again.

Qi Ming can't do it, he is a black household, other gods and demons can't see it, and the way of heaven may not be indistinguishable. The start was too good, he was reluctant to wave, and he couldn't wave. Because of his identity as an innate god and demon, he is definitely on the list of key points of the Heavenly Dao, and if a flaw is revealed, Qi Ming, a hidden thief, will be very passive.

Relative to this little inconvenience, the benefits of identity are immeasurable. You only need to stay in the early stage, you can wave in the middle stage, and if you are not afraid of death, you can wave casually in the later stage.

"Survive the inspection period! As long as Heavenly Dao recognizes that his identity is legitimate, he doesn't have to tie his hands and feet. ”

When the investigation was completed and whether his identity was recognized, Qi Ming didn't know.

"Based on my background, I have completed the task of taking care of the Divine Tree Village. The next step is to continue to expand, take full control of the Ganquan Mountain Range, and eliminate the cause and effect with the Divine Tree Village. ”

Even if he is an otaku, he can't practice alone in an unfamiliar area every day, Qi Ming plans his own rise plot after cultivation.

The first hunt in spring was perfect, with fresh prey as a tribute, and the village chief's mouth moved, and the time for the first sacrifice of the new year was set.

After completing the process, the village chief prostrated on the ground and prayed for the appearance of the tree god.

The head of the wooden village is bitter in his heart, the gods of his village are very capricious, and if he doesn't respond, it's just a matter of seeing his real body. Look at the gods of other people's houses, they have always stood in the tribe and never run around.
