"You won't stay any longer?" Wu Haoyue kept Li Ang.

It's been a week since Leon woke up and fully recovered: "I still have to go to Huadu to see, I'll come over when I'm free, and it's easy to go back and forth." That's what he can say, for ordinary people, the distance between cities is like a moat.

"The troops that attacked Huadu before have all retreated, and Huadu should be fine." Wu Haoyue couldn't think of what Li Ang was going to see in Huadu.

"Do you know Bai Lan?"

"Of course, I know that the establishment of Huadu is largely due to her."

"Do you know that she's not human?"

"I know." Wu Haoyue's expression was calm: "There are actually a lot of situations like this now. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You should know that there are now eight big cities in China, but in addition, there are many small cities and villages, and at least half of the people live in small cities or villages."

"I know all of this, but what does it have to do with flowers?"

"Don't worry, listen to me," Wu Haoyue glanced at Li Ang, a little dissatisfied with his interruption: "Then have you ever thought about what they rely on to gain a foothold in this dangerous world?" ”

As for this question, Li Ang really did not think about it, as time passed, the natural ecosystem that had undergone abnormal changes had been restored to its balance under the effect of its powerful self-adaptation and regulation ability, and new ethnic groups had taken shape again, thus forming a new complete food chain.

And human beings are obviously no longer at the top of this new food chain, the living environment of human beings is now worse than before, and the green world that many people once longed for has become a reality, with large forests everywhere and a large number of exotic beasts compressing the living space of human beings.

"Every small town or village should be guarded by a strong man." Li Ang recalled some small towns that he had passed through in the Sichuan-Shu Basin before, and every human gathering place had a faint aura silently guarding it.

"You're half right."

"I want to hear about it."

"It is true that there is a strong man guarding it, but this strong man may not be a human being."

It seems that it is really like that, they were all passing by in a hurry at the time, and now in retrospect, those faint breaths do not seem to belong to humans, and at the same time, Li Ang also remembered the monkey brother in Rongcheng, he was obviously also guarding Rongcheng.

"You mean, humans have made some kind of pact with some alien beasts? Is it the same with flowers? ”

"Yes, many small cities now have powerful alien beasts to guard, so that the local people can be protected from the threat of alien beasts when they are in the city, and humans provide them with food or some other things, and the two sides have formed a symbiotic relationship, and this alien beast is generally called the guardian totem."

"Totem?" The word "totem" is a very old noun, in ancient times, each tribe of human beings had their own totem, some were snakes, some were eagles, some were deer, and all kinds of things.

Could it be that in that era, totems really existed, just like now, totems guarded human beings, and human beings provided totems? This question is destined to no longer have an answer.

"In other words, Bai Lan is actually the guardian totem of Huadu."

After Wu Haoyue said this, Li Ang also suddenly remembered that almost all the houses in Huadu were depicted with white magnolia patterns, and at that time he thought it was just a simple decoration, but now it seems that this should not be the case.

A conversation with Wu Haoyue made Li Ang know a lot of things that he had ignored before, but he still had to go to the flower capital, no matter what Bai Lan was, the flower was always a city that belonged to human beings, and it should not be up to her to decide.

Coming to the gate of Huadu again, everything here is no different from the last time I came, compared with the bustle and busyness of the people of Spring City, the people of Huadu are much more leisurely, they do not have any pressure to survive, and it is difficult not to be leisurely.

After the soldiers of Spring City left, there were not even any soldiers defending the city here, so they were not afraid of being attacked?

After the previous magical experience, Li Ang's strength has not improved much, but with the increase in soul strength, the spiritual power is no longer the same, and the sense of prying that he felt from the Huaye City Wall when he came last time is now more obvious.

When it wasn't obvious before, he thought that there was some creature hiding in the wall made of plants, but now Leon could clearly feel that the sense of prying was actually from the wall of flowers and leaves itself.

This special city wall surrounding the flower capital turned out to be a powerful plant with a highly intelligent life.

Stepping on the streets of Huadu again, Li Ang suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience and weirdness, but whether it was the leisurely crowd around him or the flowery streets, everything was natural, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Walking aimlessly, trying to find even the slightest abnormality, but after a full day of wandering, failed, the city had no problems other than being laid-back.

But the sense of disobedience that lingers in my heart has never faded, and even become stronger and stronger.

Unconsciously, Li Ang came to the garden in the center of the flower capital, next to the flower garden where the thick white magnolia was located.

Bai Lan was still sitting on the branch, wearing a long white dress, the hem of the skirt gently rippling with the breeze, and she was looking at Li Ang with clear eyes.

Li Ang raised his head and didn't speak, and Bai Lan didn't plan to speak, so the two looked at each other quietly.

The breeze was blowing, with a strange fragrance of flowers, which made Li Ang suddenly feel relaxed and happy.

That's right! Flowers! The city is full of flowers but there is no trace of floral fragrance, which is obviously unscientific and not mysterious, in any world, flowers will always have fragrance, the difference is only in the good smell and bad smell.

The refreshing fragrance of flowers made Leon feel like a pelican empowerment, and he finally found something unusual.

But Bai Lan frowned, obviously the floral fragrance appeared unexpectedly.

Many times, many things are often when there is no clue, how can not break through the slightest, but once discovered, just like a ball of yarn found the thread, the problem will often be solved.

Following the direction of the flowers, Li Ang found something unusual again, it was also a magnolia tree, not very tall, not much different from the previous magnolia tree.

But through the exterior of the tree, Leon clearly saw a soul that belonged to a human being.

Any intelligent life has a soul, but the soul is different from the soul, as for the difference, Leon can't say now, but the soul is like a self-annotated explanation, and anyone can know the type of life to which the soul belongs at a glance.

It is obviously unreasonable for a human soul to inhabit a tree.

Looking around, there are also human souls in the lush flowers and trees.

If it was before, Li Ang naturally couldn't have discovered it, and even now, if he hadn't discovered something unusual, it would have been difficult to find it without spending mental energy to observe.

"You've found out." Bai Lan's indifferent and cold voice sounded, without the slightest emotion, without any panic or anger after the secret was discovered, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

"Why?"

"Protect them as she once protected me."

"Who is she?"

"She said her name was Bailan." Bai Lan's expression changed slightly, her eyes stared ahead, but her eyes were empty and not focused, as if she was caught in a memory.

"Where's Bailan?" Leon had already guessed, but still wanted to be sure.

"I'm Bai Lan, I'll live for her."

"You can't replace anyone, she is her, you are you, and all the people in this city, and how they survive should not be up to you."

"Isn't that bad, isn't this the way you humans have always wanted to live?" Bai Lan didn't ask rhetorically, but really didn't understand.

Although she is the same tree as Bilodis, perhaps because of the difference in strength or experience, Bai Lan does not have complete emotions.

"It is true that there are many people who want to live a leisurely life, but no one wants to become a flower because of this, and the pursuit of the life they yearn for depends on their own efforts, not by others."

"Isn't it good that the souls dwell in the flowers, so that they are protected from all harm, and even if their bodies die, they will not die?"

"It's not up to you and me to have the final say, you have to ask them yourself, have you asked them?" Leon tried to reason with Bai Lan.

However, the truth is, at no time should you try to reason with a woman, even a woman who is a tree of a spirit.

"So you have to be my enemy?" Bai Lan's tone was flat, and her face was calm, but the murderous intent had already emerged.

"So they don't agree, do they?" Li Ang was ready to fight, and the great increase in soul power made him want to accurately understand his strength through battle.

"Isn't the world full of flowers bad, why do you have to resist, they are like this, and so are you!"

With Bai Lan's words, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed drastically, and the colorful flowers suddenly turned into skulls full of poisonous insects and the pungent smell of decay.

Bai Lan, who was dressed in white like water, like a fairy descending to earth, also turned into a demon with a hideous face in an instant.

！！！？？？

Three huge exclamation marks and three huge question marks appeared above Li Ang's head, and the development of his meow was somewhat unexpected to him, was the hellish scenery in front of him an illusion or was the world full of flowers before a vain one? Leon felt completely messy.

Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, is Zhuangzi dreaming of becoming a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of becoming Zhuangzi?
