756, the tree of life in the forest

The mutated new generation of sea tribes gradually moved away from their native sea, and they came to the interior, where they lived.

As they became familiar with their environment, they gradually discovered that their body structure was more suitable for land than sea.

"Maybe it wasn't the demons who changed us in the first place, but the gods?" One of the wise Sea Tribes had this thought in his heart, "The gods have mercy on us Sea Tribes for not being able to survive on land, and this is what changes our appearance. ”

But immediately one of the Sea Clan retorted to him: "The gods only bring destruction and disaster, and his essence is no different from that of demons!" ”

Because his ancestors had told them that the daughter of the gods appeared from the southernmost part of the sea with a trident, death followed her wherever she went, and thousands of sea tribes died under her trident.

If it weren't for these so-called "gods", they would not have had to leave their homeland and leave the originally rich sea, let alone leave the sea with great difficulty, set foot on land, and finally almost die on the shore......

For the "sea tribes" on land, the gods are the most dangerous and evil things, and all they can believe in is themselves, and only they will not harm themselves.

After a few more generations, these sea tribes have completely taken root on land, and they look back on their history and feel that they should never call themselves "sea tribes" again.

"If we are out of the ocean, we can no longer call ourselves the Sea Clan, not to mention that we have mutated, and the original Sea Clan regards us as descendants of demons and treats us as a bad omen...... The Sea Clan will never recognize us, so let's change our name. One of the elders suggested.

"That's right, we're out of the ocean, we're no longer a sea tribe."

"We don't need the approval of the Sea Clan, we are a brand new race."

"Why bother with the Sea Clan? The Daughter of the Gods descended on the ocean, and I think the Sea Clan must have been slaughtered by her......"

Many people seconded the proposal, and the proposal to change the name was officially passed.

After discussion, it was finally decided that the new name of this group should be "Children of the Earth".

They feel that it is the earth that has given them new life and the ability to walk on two legs, and that their new life is a gift from the land, so they should call themselves "children of the earth".

At the same time, Goofy, who was standing in the corner of the universe and watching all this, just smiled lightly and didn't interfere with anything.

……

Sea tribes on land...... No, now the Children of the Earth.

The sons of the earth, who live in forests and grasslands, have gradually mastered more sophisticated tools and are able to build houses with towering busts.

Living in these houses, they were able to shelter themselves from the wind and rain and be able to defend themselves against wild beasts, which gave them a sense of security and allowed them to form tribes that were stronger than ever.

The increasingly powerful Children of the Earth became ambitious, spreading their hunting grounds from the forests and grasslands to distant lands, conquering more and more beasts and picking more and more fruits.

Until one day, when their tribe had crossed a mountain, the best hunters of the tribe encountered a strange beast that made them fear in their hearts.

The beast in front of him had a large body, rough skin, strong limbs, and a large head.

The beast opened its mouth wide open, and could swallow the heads of two hunters in one gulp.

But the brave sons of the earth were not afraid, and they swung their long swords and launched a surprise attack on the fierce monster in front of them.

They have hunted even the larger monsters, as the Children of the Earth are more intelligent than these monsters, they are able to work as a team, and they are able to wield complex weapons.

They were convinced that the monster in front of them was only large in size, and that it had no other advantages.

But at this moment, this terrifying monster let out a strange sound, and then the foul smell gradually spread, and the next second to the surprise of all hunters, this monster actually spewed out a raging fire.

It was something that only the children of the earth could witness when the thunder fell, and it was a very dangerous, terrifying thing that could make people die instantly!

But the monster in front of him just erupted directly, and the raging fire swept over the body of every hunter.

And the monster clearly had no intention of letting them go, it opened its mouth wide, and the flames struck again.

Blaze after ball of fire swept towards the hunters, burning the best hunters of the Children of the Earth on the spot, and only the hunters standing in the distance escaped in time to pick up a life, and the hunters in the front row did not survive.

……

Soon the news spread among the tribes of the Children of the Earth, and it was said that there were large, fire-breathing monsters on the other side of the mountain that could wipe out the best hunters in an instant.

Surprisingly, this news did not bring fear among the tribes of the Children of the Earth, but caused countless hunters to rush to the other side of the mountain.

After sweeping away forest after forest, grassland after grassland, the children of the earth became more and more proud, they now only wanted to prove their bravery and strength, and those so-called fire-breathing monsters were obviously the best way to prove their courage.

But it soon became clear that they were too arrogant, that these fire-breathing monsters were more powerful than they thought, and that the flames they spewed could easily kill an entire team of hunters.

Team after team was wiped out in front of the fire-breathing monsters, and the number of children of the earth was getting smaller and smaller, and the bitter lesson calmed these arrogant guys, and they finally realized that they were not yet capable of defeating these fire-breathing monsters.

At this time, the Children of the Earth finally decided to slow down the pace of attacking the fire-breathing monsters and think carefully about how to defeat them, because it was obvious that their weapons were not capable of defeating those monstrous and terrifying monsters at the moment.

And under the bewildered behavior of the children of the earth who are frequently sent to death, the salamanders have received an important message - these weapons and chattering creatures seem to be good food.

At the beginning, because the children of the earth formed a group to go to the territory of the salamanders to die, so that the salamanders did not need to actively hunt to have enough food for their stomachs, and then the children of the earth finally stopped killing themselves, and the salamanders could only take the initiative to find these stupid but delicious guys.

And so the first salamander invasion began, coming down from the ridge and infiltrating the village of the Children of the Earth, where they spewed flames and easily burned the houses of the Children of the Earth made of wood to ashes.

Previously, the Children of the Earth may have realized that the Salamander was an invincible monster for them, but that was only when the Salamander did not take the initiative to attack, and now when the Salamander descended on the village, they realized that the Salamander was not only an invincible monster, they were simply the embodiment of death, the end of the Children of the Earth.

Nearly half of the sons of the earth died in the flames of the salamanders, and they had to flee their villages quickly and farther away to escape their slaughter......

Seeing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"These salamanders are a bit strong...... I didn't expect natural variation to create such a disruptive species......"

"They are almost comparable to the dinosaurs on Earth, they are completely the rulers of the food chain, other species have no ability to compete with them, and only the asteroid hitting the earth will exterminate those terrifying behemoths......"

At this point, Gao Fei suddenly had a doubt.

"Was the asteroid that hit Earth really an accident? Or is there some mysterious force that wants to rebalance the earth's natural world, which forcibly removed the bug-level species of dinosaurs? ”

Goofy was then amused by his own thoughts, perhaps it was just a baseless brain hole on his part.

Looking down at the blue star, time has advanced back another hundred years.

The provocation of the Children of the Earth not only makes the Salamander realize that the Children of the Earth is a stupid, weak, but delicious food, but also makes the Salamander realize that he is powerful.

Originally, salamanders only lived in their habitat deep in the mountains, and they had no intention of expanding their territory, but later they went out of the mountains and into the forests and grasslands in order to hunt down the children of the earth who stirred up trouble.

Later, these big guys with limited IQ discovered that the forests and grasslands had more abundant material resources and a larger number of prey, and this became their paradise, so they moved their habitat out of the mountains.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and soon these big creatures realized that they were not in tune with nature, and their ability to spew fire, although very useful for hunting, was very unfriendly to forests and grasslands, and they would ignite forests and grasslands if they were not careful, and cause irrepressible fires, and these huge monsters became arsonists on the roam, which caused great damage to nature.

In the hundred years that the salamanders have come out of the mountains, the vegetation on the land of Blue Star has been severely damaged, and if these monsters continue to wreak havoc, then Blue Star's ecosystem will completely collapse.

When the time comes, everything that Goofy has worked so hard to build will be burned, and this is the last thing he wants to see.

"What should I do? How do you restrain these arsonist monsters? ”

Goofy asks himself questions and thinks about countermeasures.

"Do you want to strengthen the Children of the Earth again so that they have more power to slaughter the salamanders?"

Goofy shook his head, he didn't like the pride and conceit of the sons of the earth, he thought that if they were given the same divine power as the Sea Clan, these arrogant sons of the earth could only cause even greater disaster.

Looking at the forest that was about to be burned clean, Goofy had a bold idea.

"Why can't you let the forest save itself? Why can't the trees have the ability to resist? All things have spirits, and plants should have souls too. ”

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Gao Fei's face, he clenched his fists and used the space gem, and came to the deepest part of the Blue Star Continent in one of the oldest and densest tropical rainforests.

The salamanders' tracks have not yet arrived, but they have already moved towards the rainforest, and once they set their first plants on fire, the damage they will cause will be incalculable.

Goofy must stop this.

Walk deep into the rainforest, barely on a smooth path, damp dew on knee-high plants, and insects and creeps lurking deep in the grass with deadly venom.

But Goofy is not afraid of these, he has Asgard's divine power to protect his body, not to mention that after receiving a steady stream of admiration from the Sea Clan, his divine power has become even stronger.

He seemed to be just an illusion floating in the forest, and any creature that tried to attack him would honestly retreat after touching his divine power, and even if these creatures were not sapient, they could sense that offending Goofy would only bring them annihilation and death.

After about fifteen minutes of searching, Goofy finally met the target of the trip.

It was a towering tree with a lifespan of thousands of years.

When the ocean was still ruled by the Immortal Empire, before Amisha, the god of death of the Sea Clan, had not yet gained the power of Accardo, and had not even been born, this towering tree was already standing here, rooted in the earth, looking up at the sky.

After thousands of years of wind and rain, it has not shown signs of aging, but has become more and more vigorous.

"Plants are more tenacious than animals, they are the darlings of nature......"

"If such a magnificent treasure were to be burned by fire, it would be the greatest tragedy in the world......"

Goofy shook his head slightly, then used his magic.

It is an ancient spell from the Book of the Emperor and the Book of Darkness, a mysterious contract for the soul.

Goofy closed his eyes and chanted in a low voice, forming a powerful enchantment in the entire space around him.

The air seemed to be boiling, and the light of the stars in the distance was projected, but it reflected a variety of colors, like a huge kaleidoscope, and like a delicate crystal coffin!

As the incantation in Gao Fei's mouth was recited, the branches of the towering ancient tree in front of Gao Fei's eyes suddenly danced, not only the thousands of branches that spread like a canopy, but even the thick trunk of the ancient tree, which was surrounded by twenty people, seemed to have life, struggling and writhing gently in the soil......

At this moment, the creator god Gao Fei gave the soul of the ancient tree, which is another element that can completely change the ancient tree in addition to life, and at the same time as the soul is obtained, the branches of this towering ancient tree once again extend endlessly into the distance.

Beyond the barrier, the entire dense rainforest seems to have been reborn, with undulating insect chirps and beasts lurking in the depths of the jungle leaving their nests.

Farther on, in the grassland, salamanders who had just burned their last habitat were walking towards it with heavy steps, thinking that what awaited them was another habitat that allowed them to wreak havoc, but they didn't know ......

————————

After chanting the incantation, Goofy silently admired the masterpiece in front of him.

The behemoth, which was hundreds of meters high, was completely endowed with a soul by Gao Fei, and it was gently shaking its branches as if expressing gratitude to its creator.

And above the canopy of trees towering into the clouds, some green lights are forming, they are like the brilliance of fireflies, shimmering and ethereal.

"I've done what I have to do, and you're in control of the fate of the forest."

Goofy smiled lightly, clenched his fists and used the Space Gem to leave the rainforest and return to the universe again.

He continues to play the role of his observer, not a participant in this universe, and proper intervention is already his limit, knowing that he is the creator god and not part of this world.

After Goofy left, the already towering tree began its second growth, reaching the top of the tree towards the sky, and the intricate roots beneath her feet reaching out to the soil again. Her foliage grew thicker and fluttered with the night breeze, and the most spectacular was in her canopy, where the leaves were bearing one shimmering green fruit after another.

The fruits were like little lanterns, like fireflies, and they shimmered brightly, growing from an indiscernible small grain to a larger one.

As time passed, the little green lanterns finally ripen in the quiet of the night, ripe as the size of ordinary fruits, and with the help of the night breeze, the canopy they left flew towards the depths of the forest with the help of the breeze.

They fly up the branches, or sink into the earth, or go down the stream......

Some of them become one with the plants, blending into the branches and flowers of the plants, while others are devoured by greedy animals and become food for their stomachs.

And in the distance, the towering tree that gave birth to them was like a kind elder, quietly watching all this happen, and although she already had a soul, she did not interfere with the fate of her people.

One of the small green lanterns fluttered in the wind and eventually fell into the stream, where several swimming fish frolicked beneath him, lifting them again and again.

Finally the lantern followed the stream to the lower reaches of the forest, where it was swallowed by a deer-like animal, turned into dung, and excreted the next morning under a fruit tree.

The small lantern gradually turns into a green glow, and as the water penetrates deep into the soil, it is absorbed by the lucky fruit tree and becomes a part of the fruit tree.

A developing fruit on the fruit tree suddenly plumped up under the nourishment of this green light, and in just one day, the fruit grew from the size of an egg to the size of a watermelon.

Another two days and two nights passed, and the original watermelon-sized fruit swelled four times, and finally it could no longer hang on the branches, but fell to the treetops under the effect of the gravity of the blue star, and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the shell of the fruit shattered, revealing the bright juice inside, and in the midst of the fruit, a baby curled up with a shimmering green light.

The child of the tree of life, the child of the forest, the first spirit of nature, was born.

She is a delicate and lovely little girl, with wisdom from birth.

She rubbed her eyes, sat up from the ground, and without crying or making a fuss, she nimbly climbed the tree to pick the fruit from the tree to satisfy her hunger.

"The gods have given us souls to protect this forest on which we live, and that is my duty."

"I am the daughter of the gods, the daughter of the forest, I am the elves, the noblest soul on this continent."

The little girl shuttled through the forest, she grew up far faster than the Sea Clan and the Children of the Earth, and in just half a month, she had grown slim.

At this time, more elves were born in the forest, and they were born with different fruits, but they all had similar appearances.

Similar in appearance to humans, but taller and more shapely, with crystal clear skin and large watery eyes.

Their fur is soft and shimmering green, their voice is as pleasant as the wind blowing through the woods, they have agility and strength, they love nature and know how to control it.

Another few years passed, and the elves of the forest became more and more, and they thrived in this vibrant rainforest and established their kingdoms.

The first elf to be born was elected queen of all elves, and she was called "the eldest daughter of the tree of life" by the elves, and in the language of the elves, she was called Sharan.

Led by the elven queen Sharan, the elves live a carefree life, building cabin after cabin from the Tree of Life, making bows and arrows from branches and stones, and torsos of the beasts in the jungle that try to threaten them.

Suddenly, one day, a raging fire broke out at the southeast end of the forest, and the light of the fire lit up half of the sky, and the elves who witnessed all this ran to the tree of life in panic and reported the bad news to the elven queen Sharan.

Sharan looked up at the southeast, her expression calm at the billowing black smoke that rushed into the sky, she knew that this was exactly why the gods had created them - to protect the incomparably magnificent forest in front of her.

"Let's go."

Sharan said calmly and majestically, leading her compatriots towards the southeast corner of the forest.

The elves set out with their weapons in their arms, and walked along the stream over the grass in the direction of the smoke, and in the depths of the fire they met the arsonists.

Although they had never seen each other, they knew that each other were natural enemies at the first sight of these terrifying beasts, as if the elves' rejection and hatred of these monsters were written in their bones.

"Sharan, the revered queen of our elven race, it is these evil creatures who set fire to our forests......"

One of the elves, who had already arrived at the scene, whispered,

"Please punish these brutal creatures on behalf of nature."

Sharan nodded lightly at the elf, "Don't worry, I will." ”

She raised her hand, and the elven archers behind her immediately bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the hideous beasts staring at the forest with a pair of big blood-red eyes in the distance.

She waved her hand, and the elven bow and arrow immediately rained down on these fierce beasts.

Whoosh ......

Whoosh ......

Arrows made of sharp rock pierced through the air to hit these brutal salamanders, but these stony clusters of arrows alone could not penetrate the salamander's hard, rock-like skin.

The ancestors of salamanders used to hunt prey in the ocean by discharging electricity, which meant that they themselves could not be injured by high-voltage electricity, and millions of years ago, the ancestors of salamanders had evolved skin that was strong enough to block electrical current.

Later, on land, salamanders gain fire-breathing abilities, which further encourage their skin to continue to outperform Lyota, and only salamanders with skin that can resist normal fire cautery will survive.

The skin that is neither conductive nor fireproof is abnormally hard, not to mention the ordinary bows and arrows of the elves, and even the complex weapons of the children of the earth specially used to hunt fierce beasts are difficult to penetrate their bodies, so in the rain of arrows of the elves, these monsters were not harmed at all.

After the ferocious monsters withstood a batch of attacks, their furious emotions were instantly aroused, and they raised their heads and roared loudly at the elves of the forest, and continued to spew raging flames.

Seeing this, the elven queen Sharan stepped forward, and instead of being surprised and frightened, her face was still smiling confidently.

She raised her hand again and ordered her people to shoot arrows at the salamander, only to chant a soft incantation after this shot.

The white finger pointed towards the air, and the overwhelming rain of arrows suddenly enveloped a piece of turquoise light.

The same light as when the elves were born in the forest, this brilliant light even overshadowed the red light of the flames!
