Chapter 22: Princess Lingzhi
Looking at these villains, he found that they were not a plate of loose sand, but disciplined, and he could tell that the leader was a woman, holding a spear like a needle in her hand, and was leading the army of these villains to attack Bai Ou, and after hearing Bai Ou's words, she suddenly put the spear in her hand up and made a gesture.
The charging army came to a halt.
Immediately after these villains, there began to be a lot of discussion.
Bai Ou was surprised to find that there was a language between them, but he couldn't understand this language, it should be the unique language between these villains.
Suddenly, the woman holding the spear at the head spoke to Bai Ou, and she spoke in Chinese that Bai Ou could understand.
"You're not here to hurt us?"
Hearing this, Bai Ou was extremely surprised: "Do you speak my language?" ”
"Of course, the witches of our clan are fluent in all languages, and the only ones in my clan and I and the witches she taught me understand your language." The woman at the head looked very proud.
Bai Ou said cautiously: "I intruded into this place by accident, and I have no ill will towards you, that ...... What are you? Is it the legendary Lilliputia? ”
The leader woman said: "We are the Lingzhi country, I am the princess of the Lingzhi country, you really just have no intention of breaking into here?" ”
She had a skeptical expression on her face: "There is a 'guardian spirit' guarding here, it is responsible for guarding and guarding this place, and no outsiders can enter this place without its permission." ”
Bai Ou said: "Is the patron saint you are talking about a big toad?" ”
"That's a frog god, not a toad." Princess Lingzhi corrects Bai Ou.
Bai Ou said: "Yes, there is a frog god outside, and it let me in, but why is the frog god tied with an iron chain?" This can't be innate, it should be artificial, and who built this stone gate? ”
Bai Ou had long suspected that the so-called ruins were not naturally generated, but artificial, including the negative toad that had been chained through one leg, including the huge stone gate.
It's just that he can't think of anyone who can do all this, the negative toad is so terrible, who can imprison it.
Princess Lingzhi's face changed color, as if she was a little frightened, and muttered: "It's a very terrible existence, 'it' created all this, ordered the frog god to guard here, every once in a while, 'it' will enter here, harvest, will catch a lot of my people, grind them into Zhiling slurry, and at that moment, it will be a disaster for our country, and many people will die." ”
Listening to Princess Lingzhi's words, Bai Ou slowly understood in his heart.
Whether it is the stone gate or the opossum toad imprisoned outside the stone gate, it is someone's handiwork.
This person's purpose is these Lingzhi people.
These Lingzhi people can be ground into Ganoderma lucidum liquid, although Bai Ou has not really seen or eaten Ganoderma lucidum, but from various books and legends, it is also known that Lingzhi has always been regarded as a treasure of heaven and earth, and the protagonists in many novels are adventures to obtain the so-called thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and then with a hundred years of skill, there is no enemy in the world.
Princess Lingzhi's mind is obviously relatively simple, and seeing that Bai Ou behaved without malice, she lost her guard and said everything she knew: "This is the Lingzhi Mother Tree, we are all born from the Mother Tree, but now the Lingzhi Mother Tree is infected with a disease and is about to die, and when the Mother Tree dies, our Lingzhi Kingdom will also perish." ”
When she said this, she frowned.
Bai Ou heard that someone kept them here and would come to harvest them every once in a while, and he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for these Lingzhi people in his heart, and felt fear for the person who made all this, who could be the person who could do this with such a big effort?
Such people are simply terrifying.
Seeing Princess Lingzhi's sad face, Bai Ou said: "Do you know the reason why this Lingzhi mother tree is going to die?" I wonder if I can help? ”
He saw that most of the leaves of the mother tree of Lingzhi were yellowing and withering, and the whole tree was indeed slowly dying.
However, most of the trees die, and most of them are insect infestations, and as long as the insect infestation is cured, the trees can still come back to life.
When Princess Lingzhi saw Bai Ou say this, her face showed joy, and she exclaimed, "Are you really willing to help us?" ”
Bai Ou nodded and said, "Can I help?" ”
Princess Lingzhi nodded busily and said: "The reason why our Lingzhi mother tree is necrotic is because it is infected, but the source of infection is deep underground, we are too weak, although we know the reason, we can't remove the source of infection, but you can definitely do it." ”
Princess Lingzhi spoke in their language to the group of villains behind her, saying that Bai Ou was willing to help them.
Soon, the villains behind cheered together, looking very excited.
Soon, the group of villains dispersed and made a way, and out of it came a slightly stronger villain, who looked like a middle-aged man, and wore a green crown carved out of green leaves on his head.
Princess Lingzhi was busy saying to Bai Ou: "This is my father, the king of our Lingzhi country. ”
Bai Ou smiled and nodded, "Hello, dear king. ”
This Lingzhi king also didn't understand Bai Ou's language, and his mouth came out of a strange language, and he spoke to Bai Ou with a grateful face.
Princess Lingzhi hurriedly explained: "My father said that he is very grateful to the warriors, if you can save the Lingzhi Mother Tree, you will be the savior of our Lingzhi country, and he wants to thank you on behalf of all Lingzhi people." ”
Bai Ou waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this yet, let's take a look at the source of infection you said first, and see what's going on." ”
"Okay." Princess Lingzhi spoke to the king again.
The king turned to the little people and spoke, and soon, a large number of the little people scattered and returned to the mother tree of Lingzhi, but Princess Lingzhi asked Bai Ou to stretch out her hand, and she jumped onto Bai Ou's palm.
Looking closely at Princess Lingzhi, I found that she was petite and cute, and even from the perspective of human aesthetics, she was a very beautiful girl.
"Go here." Princess Lingzhi gave Bai Ou guidance and circled around the huge Lingzhi mother tree, and after making a circle, Bai Ou found that behind the Lingzhi mother tree, cracks appeared in the ground.
"It's right in there, it's just too scary for us to get into."
Bai Ou frowned slightly, the widest part of the crack in the ground was only a foot, extending about seven or eight meters away, and he couldn't enter.
After thinking about it, he took out the alloy war knife and dug it along the crack.
He didn't want a huge hole under the crack, but as soon as he dug casually, large pieces of earth and rocks fell, and soon a hole more than three feet wide appeared.
"Huh?" Bai Ou was a little curious, and felt that there seemed to be a hole in the sky below.
Princess Lingzhi climbed onto his shoulder, tugged at his collar to stabilize his body, and Bai Ou put away his sword and carefully entered the hole.
