Chapter 4: Trees and Bones

Shaking stepped on the layers of white bones, and cautiously walked to the bottom of the tree, and the dry bones were still there mechanically waving in the direction where she came, which made Shake reassuring to turn his head to check the fruit on the tree.

The golden fruit was half a man tall, and there was a thin metallic pattern at the top of the branch, which occasionally shone faintly. But what Shake is most concerned about now is whether the fruit can be eaten. She tugged at the lowest hanging fruit, and neither the fruit nor the branches moved. Shaking harder and harder, but it didn't work, and finally she was ruthless, and the whole person climbed up, hugged the fruit tightly, and pressed it down, only to hear a "hiss", and the fruit finally fell to the ground with the branches.

Before he could rejoice, the dry bones on the side suddenly stopped the mechanical repetitive movements, turned his skull stiffly, and said in a voice with a loud voice: "You're finally here, warrior." Startling, he closed his mouth that was about to bite the fruit, turned around and explained with a smile, "That...... Old-timer? I, I just want to lick this fruit, no, I don't plan to eat him. ”

But Dry Bone didn't care about what he said, he just said to himself: "More than a thousand years ago, in order to test the newly created life form, we came to this planet, the aborigines at that time did not welcome us, we wanted to return, but the spaceship malfunctioned, and we had to stay here. The aborigines thought that we were deliberate, like we declared war, and as a last resort, we hatched the strongest and closest to mature one of the test subjects early, but because of the early hatching, this test subject lacked the good qualities necessary for higher life forms, and it not only killed the aborigines, but also locked us up here to frantically absorb energy, resulting in insufficient support for other life forms, and they all died, leaving only the last tree with the test subject, which was raised by our ship of researchers with their own bodies as nutrients. ”

That's why the ground is full of bones...... Looking at this white bone mountain at this moment, I only feel extremely tragic when I shake it.

"But correspondingly," Dry Bone continued, "the subject relied too much on the energy produced on the ship, and when it sucked it up, it fell into a deep sleep. ”

Suddenly, a shaking spirit thought of something: "So, what are the human beings who exist on Earth now...... Aboriginal or new species? ”

This time, Dry Bones finally stopped ignoring Sha Sha's words, and replied: "After the experimental subjects fell asleep, we also completely cut off contact with the outside world, so we don't know what happened later, we can only say that you can enter this enchantment, you must have met certain blood or genetic conditions." ”

"That's it......" In fact, the shaky doubts were not solved, but it seemed that the dry bones didn't know anything more, and suddenly, the surroundings fell into silence.

After a while, Dry Bone spoke again: "Since you are here, then my mission has been completed, go, put on that bracelet on the fruit, and you can leave here, this life form that you have plucked...... This child belongs to you, please, please take good care of him, he will become the morning star in the universe. ”

After speaking, a blue light lit up in the dry bones, flew into the air and jumped into the top of the fruit connected to the circle of patterns connected to the branches, only to see a circle of light on the pattern, and then turned into a black metal bracelet, which fell down with a bang, and the fruit also let go of a mouth, accompanied by a strange scream and golden liquid flowing out, a young creature with a human upper body, a deer hoof on the lower body, and a black beast with two leopard tails slid out.

At this time, the voice of dry bones sounded in the air for the last time: "This is the first tree to cultivate life forms, and the creatures born from this tree are all surnamed one, the number of rings is one, and the body of the beast is black, and the name is given, and the son of ink is one." ”
