Stretching for thousands of miles of native vines, thousands of feet through the sky to pray for the moon ancient trees.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The river is surging and passing through the wide forest, and the loud sound it brings when it rushes can be clearly heard from thousands of kilometers away, while countless tributaries continue to extend from both sides of the river, forming a complex water system vein in the forests of the Nanyuan continent.

Through the clear surface of the river, you can clearly see the rich greenery on the surface of the riverbed, which is not the aquatic grass or algae plants that appear in most cases, but a vine with an extremely wide distribution...... Or rather, it's almost a vine.

Why is it almost a vine? Because almost all the vines in these rivers have complex root systems that are interconnected to each other, they exist in a large collective way, and you can't distinguish different vines of the same kind from them, it's an incomparably large network, closely connected to each other. However, it cannot be absolutely said that all the vines are connected, because there are always accidents that will cut off some of the trunks and isolate some of the vines, but as long as they are given another chance to make contact, they will still be connected to each other without hindrance, because each part of these vines has the same genes, and it is almost impossible to repel each other.

Tiny breathing umbrellas poke out of the water, like small green umbrellas spreading out above the river, even the turbulent rapids can't stop them from constantly drawing the gas they need from the air, and those seemingly weak rhizomes are surprisingly tough enough to keep them upright and withstand the constant washing of the river.

If these vine tissues are really measured as a unified individual, then it can definitely be called the oldest plant on the planet, and no one knows when it began to appear...... Perhaps they didn't even notice the passing of the wind, and the people who prayed for the moon naturally didn't know the origin of these vines all over the water system, and they could only reverie about it with awe.

Unlike vines such as ropeway vines and goldenrod vines, which are clearly named after their own characteristics, this oldest and largest plant is called a native vine by the Moon Prayer People...... That is, the original and most primitive vines, the meaning of the ancient ancestors common to most plants.

However, no matter what the world thinks, this vast native vine is indeed just an ordinary vine, and perhaps its kind has long since disappeared in the endless years, but it has survived in a spreading manner, and there are few disasters that can completely destroy it, this is a miracle plant.

The Moon Prayer people worship the native vine and live mainly along the rivers where the native vine is found...... Of course, this may also be just a wonderful misunderstanding, because it is so normal to live along the river, and almost all of the rivers here have the shadow of native vines.

However, compared to the original vine, the Moon Prayer people care more about another thing, they are a race that believes in the moon god Frost Lin after all, and legend has it that the moon god left her guard to guard the moon prayer when he left the mortal world, and the name of this guard is: Prayer for the Moon.

Yes, you're not mistaken, that's where the name of the Moon Prayer comes from.

"So, is this the origin of the name of the moon prayer......" With a hint of emotion, Xinglan looked at the things in front of him that were clearly visible even from a long distance, "This is the legendary Moon God Guard......"

In the strong light of the daytime sun, a huge figure stood in the forest, the tip of which seemed to pierce all the way to the end of the endless sky, its height was very, very high, completely above everything else, roughly estimated to be more than three hundred meters high.

Thousands of years of time are inscribed, and thousands of feet pass through the sky to pray for the moon tree.

This is a tree, an incomparably huge tree, even more massive than the fallen giant tree that Xinglan had found before, and this is not the first time that Xinglan has seen its figure...... The strong memory search ability immediately reminded Xing Lan of when she had seen this moon prayer tree, that was when she had just arrived at the Nanyuan Continent by shuttle plane before, she and Xijie had seen a huge tree standing in the forest on the way, even from a high altitude, it looked particularly prominent, but at that time, no one thought that this was actually a sign of the settlement of the second race.

Even its shape is not exactly the shape of a tree in the ordinary sense of the word, with some extremely thick branches extending diagonally downward, and the surface of the tree has no long leaves, but the entire bark has turned a fresh emerald green. They streak like green rainbows across the sky and then extend all the way to the ground and insert into the soil layer, forming new root systems...... This makes this giant tree look like an all-round cable-stayed structure from a distance, maybe this is also some special structure that this huge tree has evolved in order to ensure its own stability, after all, it is too big, and Xinglan feels that it is difficult for lightning strikes to kill this huge tree.

The farthest auxiliary support structure was nearly fifty meters away from the taproot of the tree itself, and it was clear that there could be no such gathering place for the Moon Prayers. Xinglan learned from Yun Mo that the settlement of the Moon Prayer People was not a small village like the Sea Giant, and due to the existence of the Moon Prayer Tree, their gathering level was far beyond the scale that should be in this era, even reaching thousands of people...... Don't underestimate this number, these people may not be anything to the civilized era, but in the primitive era, if thousands of people gathered at the same time, it is already an incredible number, you must know that in this era, I am afraid that there are only tens of thousands of people on the entire Lanxing.

"Although those branches don't grow leaves, the main trunk of the Moon Prayer Tree still has a large number of broad leaves, and these leaves have the ability to resist the strange power that Xiao Jia uses." Yumo just said it casually, but unexpectedly, it caused a great shock in Xinglan's heart, because it revealed a very terrible fact.

That kind of blade...... It's the leaves of the prayer tree, so if you reason about it this way, doesn't it mean that the giant tree that fell before is also a prayer tree? But it was ruthlessly destroyed, and even the nearby Moon Prayers were mercilessly slaughtered, what is the reason for all this?

Xinglan had a faint terrifying guess in her heart, but she still tried to suppress her emotions and stopped outside this area: "It's almost here, if you continue to approach it with Lonely, I'm afraid there will be trouble." ”

"Probably ......" Yumo sighed softly, and also looked up at the prayer moon tree in the distance, which seemed to be standing up to the sky, from here you can even see a faint cloud shrouded in the tree trunk hovering, as ethereal and unpredictable as the mythical heavenly palace, "The matter of the blood moon mark is really difficult to deal with, it is almost impossible for it to fade on its own. ”

"Yes, but I'll figure it out." Xinglan also knew the other party's dilemma, because this was indeed a serious problem.

If it is an ordinary imprint, this is naturally easy to solve, because no matter how many negative connotations there are behind that imprint, as long as it is removed, there will be no problem, but the imprint painted by this sap is obviously not just a picture.

Those red symbols can't be washed off with water, if only that's it, because the hair and skin of the creature will always fall off and renew, and once even the skin cells themselves are shed, then the color that was originally applied to the surface of the skin will naturally not be retained. However, this sap is clearly more than that, and Xinglan noticed that its presence even caused Lonely's cells to have some kind of strange allergic reaction, causing these cells to spontaneously produce some kind of bright pigment at the smear site, and this pigment reaction does not seem to fade easily over time, which means that it is almost impossible for the symbol to disappear on its own.

After all, this is no longer a picture, but a pattern produced by a skin disease, which must be solved from the inside of the cell.

"Looks like I'm going to have to stay here for a while." Xinglan chuckled, looking at Lonely Yun still looking dazed, and motioned to Yun Mo, "I think it's better to stay around here, and you can come and find it at any time if you have something." ”

"You mean it's here for a long time? Did you really decide to give up the chance to enter the colony for the sake of this little guy? Yun Mo was slightly stunned, but she had no other way to think about it, so it seemed that she could only do this for the time being, "Really, there is really no way to meet a guy like you...... Yumo, let's get ready to go home. ”

"But, sister......" Yumo was stunned for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just glanced at Xinglan deeply, "Well, we will come to see you when we have time, there are no particularly dangerous beasts in this peripheral place, but you have to be careful not to be discovered by other moon prayers, but not everyone is so easy to talk to, in case it attracts the attention of many people, it will be bad." ”

"It's okay, anyway, the blood moon mark is not particularly eye-catching, so you won't be found if you don't get too close." Xinglan wasn't particularly nervous, and it wasn't really a big worry for her, "Lonely Cloud usually doesn't let it go out alone." ”

"Lonely? Did you still name it? Yumo didn't relax too much, but admonished with some concern, "But the key problem is not just the blood moon mark, Xinglan, you must know that the source of trouble is not only lonely clouds, even if you are discovered, it may cause a big problem, you must know that some moon prayers are right...... In short, hide yourself as much as possible, or don't be too public. ”

"I know, don't worry." Xing Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, and the details on the branches of the Prayer Moon Tree in front of her quickly zoomed in, revealing a beautiful bark texture like a cloud, "These troubles are not a big problem, and I am not a weak person to bully." ”

With a low whisper, Xijie also waved his paw to show that he was not easy to mess with, and they glanced at each other, and a tacit understanding arose spontaneously in the speechlessness, and at this time, ......

It's finally time to separate.
