Before going to the slave area, Ji Rong took Ruan Qiao to the Forest of Life.

As the name suggests, the forest of life is the tree that Ji Rong said can produce children.

A large area of bright blue mountain peaks could be seen from a distance, Ruan Qiao's eyes widened in novelty, and he pinched the horns on the heads of the monsters under his hands.

At this time, Ruan Qiao and Ji Rong were riding on a monster that was more than two meters long, the body of this monster looked as vigorous as a leopard from a distance, with a horn on its head, and five long furry tails behind it, swaying back and forth with the movements when walking.

I heard Ji Rong say that this kind of monster is called a beast, and it is more docile and easier to domesticate than other monsters.

Ruan Qiao didn't understand this, he only felt that the names of these monsters were familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

Looking back at Ji Rong, who was sitting behind him, Ruan Qiao asked, "How long will it take to arrive?" ”

Ji Rong, who was looking into the distance, raised his eyebrows lightly, and looked back at Ruan Qiao's eyes without hurry, "About two or three minutes." ”

Stunned by Ji Rong's dark and shining eyes, she blinked, looked at the distant mountain peak and frowned, "Obviously there is still such a long distance, how can it be there in two or three minutes?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the beast suddenly roared, leaned back slightly, and leaped directly towards the mountain peak with the strength of its hind feet.

"Ahh

Ruan Qiao didn't react for a while, she only felt that the whole person flew into the air in an instant, and before she could take a deep breath, the beast fell down quickly again, and she didn't swallow one breath, and the other breath was stuck in her throat again.

Taking in her embarrassment, Ji Rong chuckled silently, wrapping around her waist to help her stabilize her balance.

"Can't you give me a seat belt if it's so dangerous!" Ruan Qiao shouted to Ji Rong in horror.

"The people here have long been accustomed to the way the beasts move." Ji Rong smiled and said, "You still have to adapt." ”

In Ji Rong's opinion, Ruan Qiao can stay here with him with peace of mind after completing the task, so it's good to adapt to these things in advance.

Without hearing Ji Rong's words, Ruan Qiao clutched the beast's feet tightly, only looking forward to arriving at the destination quickly.

After a few takeoffs, the beasts let out a low roar, lowered their center of gravity slightly, and lay on the ground.

"Here we are." Raising his hand to brush down the dumb hair on Ruan Qiao's head, Ji Rong reached out and hugged her off the beast, and looked sideways at the tree of life not far away.

The soil under your feet is soft and fresh, and there is no sound at all when you step on it.

Ruan Qiao followed Ji Rong's line of sight, and soon couldn't take his eyes off.

The first thing I saw was several huge trees, close together, their golden leaves shining in the sun, like countless small golden locks.

Looking down, I could see many round fruits hanging on the branches, gently swaying with the wind, as if they could fall down at any moment.

The path to the Grove of Life is flanked by bottomless valleys, except for a path paved with golden leaves in the middle, which stretches smoothly under the largest tree of life.

"Chief."

When Ruan Qiao marveled at the golden eyes, the two black-haired and black-eyed twin girls jumped over, and they didn't salute, and smiled sweetly directly at Ji Rong.

"I'll show her the Grove of Life." Ji Rong said, and at the same time introduced Ruan Qiao, "They are the guardians of the Forest of Life. ”

Hearing this, the twin girls immediately looked at Ruan Qiao and introduced themselves with a smile.

"My name is Nuan." The short-haired girl on the left turned her back and bent her eyes.

"My name is Yang." The long-haired girl on the right looked quieter, but she tilted her head and smiled at Ruan Qiao kindly.

Seeing this, Ruan Qiao also said his name.

After introducing himself, Nuan Heyang looked at Ruan Qiao's gaze and became a little more curious, "It turns out that there are still people who have never seen the Tree of Life?" ”

Being a little hairy by the girls, Ruan Qiao coughed lightly and said, "I'm just a little curious." ”

"It's okay." Nuan said, "It's boring for us to stay here all day, if only you could come here more." ”

As she spoke, she leaned sideways and stretched out her left hand in the direction of the Tree of Life, making a "please" gesture, "Come with us?" ”

Ruan Qia glanced at Ji Rong and saw him nodding before he followed Nuan.

Looking back, seeing that Ji Rong didn't mean to come, she couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you coming?" ”

Ji Rong shook his head gently, "I'll wait for you to come out." ”

"Sister, don't you know?" Seeing this, Yang Qiao, who was walking behind Ruan Qiao, couldn't help but say, "The leader is not allowed to step into the Forest of Life after he is born. ”

"Why?" Ruan Qiao was stunned.

Yang shook his head, "I don't know, but there's something invisible in the way that doesn't allow him to come in." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Qiao looked at Ji Rong who was standing motionless again, and only withdrew his gaze after he couldn't see him at all.

The Forest of Life has a special fragrance, which seems to be a floral fragrance but has a sweet milky fragrance, which is not greasy and smells good.

"This is where you were born." Nuan walked to a tree, gently touched the rough trunk and raised her eyes.

Ruan Qiao raised her eyes, first stabbed by the faint light from the leaves, she raised her hand to cover it, and then she saw that the top of her head was covered with fruit.

The fruits, about the size of two babies, are covered with deep and shallow patterns, delicate like a work of art.

At a glance, there are probably only three colors of these fruits, red is the most, yellow is second, and black is the least, if it weren't for Ruan Qiao's squinting eyes and staring in the woods for a long time, it is estimated that he would not be able to see it.

"Does the color of these fruits mean anything?" Ruan Qiao couldn't help but be curious.

"Yes." Holding the trunk of the tree with a warm smile, he easily jumped up the tree and found a black fruit among the heavy leaves.

The fruit is not large, only the size of a warm palm.

"This black fruit can bear the next chief." He said with a warm smile and looked around, "It's just that these dozen or so black fruits can only produce one person, as long as one fruit produces a leader, the others will die and grow again." ”

What a cruel competition. Ruan Qiao listened with relish.

"The yellow fruit is the guard." When he was holding up the warmth, he pointed to the yellow fruit on the tree.

"Is the red one a slave?" Ruan Qiao thought for a moment.

"Yes." Nuan jumped off the tree, smiled with her hands behind her back, "The black fruit has the largest number, and basically a few slaves are born every two days. ”

The structure of this scene world is really simple.

Ruan Qiao reached out and touched the fruit closest to her, and looked at Nuan Dao with some curiosity, "Then which kind of fruit were you born from?" ”
