Chapter 186: The King of Thorns
After Xiang Yuan and the three of them walked into the woods, the surrounding trees were all squirming, and there were some human faces between the trees, using their roots as feet to walk over, completely surrounding the three of them.
Xiang Yuan said flatly: "I want to see your king, if you want war, you can refuse." ”
"You're a messenger sent by those abominable wood spirits?" A tree more than thirty meters tall walked up to them, looked down at them and asked.
"Yes."
Xiang Yuan said a simple word, and the tree man immediately waved his palm as big as a bed and slapped it down.
The three of them didn't move, and when the huge palm was only one meter away from Xiang Yuan, Xiang Yuan's right hand was raised, the hell flower was in full bloom, and the cyan light began to drift around.
The Treant withdrew his hand in panic, and saw the blue light with a visibly frightened look.
"What is this, and why can you control this terrible flower?" Beside the huge tree man, there came a human-faced flower, this human-faced face is a woman's face, with delicate facial features, snow-white skin, especially those eyes, which are absolutely perfect.
However, it grows on a flower, which makes people look a little scary, Xiang Yuan touched the petals of the hell flower, and the hell flower stretched out a small vine to wrap around Xiang Yuan's index finger, as if a person and a flower were shaking hands.
"Qinglinghua, legend has it that he came from hell and fed on his soul, you are all the same kind, don't you know?"
"Qingling flower! Very well, I remember, we don't want to be your enemy, and now that you're out of the woods, we're suffering from not seeing anything. The human face flower said in a slender voice.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to disappoint you, I want to see your king, and there are things I want to ask him." Xiang Yuan said.
"Then die." The treant stabbed his hands into the ground, and countless rattans immediately shot out from around him and rushed towards the trio.
The cyan light of the hell flower spewed out touched the rattans. Quickly ignited the rattans, and the cyan flames burned very quickly, burning the rattans to ashes almost instantly.
The Treant immediately retracted his hand. Cut off your fingers, lest the flames burn your body.
At this time, the body of the human face flower shook. And thousands of smaller human face flowers behind him shoot out petals, the number of these petals is as large as rain, each petal hits the cyan point of light, it will ignite the point of light, although the petals are quickly burned into ashes, but the cyan point of light is also quickly eliminated.
Qingling Flower seemed to be a little angry, gave birth to a competitive spirit, and also released Qingling petals. He didn't have many petals, only twelve in total, but these petals were very large, and they swirled around Xiang Yuan and the three of them.
The petals emit a blue glow, and the petals of the human face flower are immediately burned to ashes when touched. Countless petals rushed in from outside, like a swarm of moths to a fire.
That's not all, the third flower of the green rhombus began to emit a cyan light, and then centered on the stamen, a cyan pillar of light shot out, somewhat like the light of a strong flashlight.
The petals that were shot turned into ashes in an instant. The same is true for the human-faced flowers in the back, who are immediately burned to ashes when touched by the blue light.
The green rhombus swayed, and the pillar of light swept across. Large swaths of human face flowers are burned into powder.
The largest human face was also about to be hit by the blue light, and the tree man used his palm to block the human face flower, and the blue light touched the palm of his hand, quickly scorching his palm.
However, it can also delay for two seconds, and the human face flower takes the opportunity to drill into the ground, and the other face flowers also drill into the ground.
At this time, Qinglinghua shook excitedly, and seemed to be very proud of scaring the other party away. Just as he was about to continue to dazzle with Qingling, suddenly a deep voice came from the woods. "Stop, Da Feng. Bring him to me. ”
The Treant exclaimed in surprise, "Thorn King, I can't let him get close to you." This Qingling flower is too powerful. ”
"Don't worry, he's not our enemy."
The Treant withdrew his charred palm and warned, "You'd better not do anything stupid, or I'll kill you even if you fight the entire forest." ”
Xiang Yuan asked Qinglinghua to stop attacking, smiled slightly, and motioned for the tree man to lead the way. Human faces came out of both sides again, and they all looked at them with wary expressions.
When the three of them came to the center of the woods and saw the king of the woods, they all showed surprised looks.
This King of Thorns turned out to be a huge jungle of thorns, and the thorn vines were piled up as high as a mountain.
"Surprised? There are so many thorns growing in my body. ”
"Indeed, this is the first time I've seen this type of spirit race, and I'm afraid you're the most terrifying existence in the entire forest." Xiang Yuan said.
"Hehe, is it terrible? Only my enemies would be terrible, wouldn't they. ”
Xiang Yuan nodded in agreement, and then asked, "There shouldn't be any conflict between Aoki's forest and you, why do you have to attack them, and it still looks like you're not dying." ”
"They poisoned us, and the groundwater beneath our forests became so poisonous that many of our people died in the woods."
Xiang Yuan frowned and said: "Impossible, Qingling, they have been busy with our business dealings, it is impossible to provoke others, and they do not do any good in doing this except to provoke strong enemies." ”
At this time, the human face flower brought dozens of dried arrows and said, "This was found by our underground who source, and they used these arrows to kill some of the surrounding demon beasts. ”
Xiang Yuan squatted down and looked at these arrows and snorted: "King of Thorns, you should have seen what kind of arrows they shot by Qingling, emerald green, very bright, the arrows have highly poisonous juice, and these arrows have all dried up, and the center of the arrow's position has become hollow, indicating that these arrows were taken after being used." ”
"You mean to say that someone used the arrows of the Aoki people to frame them and give us a war." The King of Thorns said.
"I think that's the only way to get the most out of the real poisoners. Now there are many people who have taken the fruits produced in the Aoki forest, those fruits are very valuable, some people want to grab them, and they are afraid of the strength of the Spirit Clan, so they will use your power to deal with the Aoki Clan. Xiang Yuan said.
The King of Thorns was silent for a moment and then said, "Why should I believe your words, who knows if you are also deceiving us. ”
Xiang Yuan smiled: "You already suspected this at the beginning, but it was not confirmed, when I saw you, I already felt that you did not mean to start a war, in fact, you already understood the truth of all this." ”
"Human, your instincts are very sharp, but this incident is also because Aoki didn't handle his arrows well, which led to being used, so he must bear some responsibility, and I want them to help us remove the poison from the source of the water source. If he can do it, we will be friends in the future, and we will do our best to help him if he needs help, and there are a lot of fruits in my forest that you humans need, and we can also trade with you. The King of Thorns said.
Xiang Yuan showed a look of surprise and said: "No problem, I have taken care of this matter, give me a day, I will ask an expert to check the poison at the source, he will definitely be able to dissolve the poison there." ”
"Okay, until you bring that expert, you're going to keep your two companions here as hostages."
Xiang Yuan's eyes changed slightly, he would never let Canaan and Sasha be hostages, but for the sake of this cooperation, he could only hold back and say: "Sasha and I stay as hostages, and I will ask my companions to bring people." ”
Sasha was about to say when Canaan stopped her and shook her head, and the King of Thorns said, "Yes, as long as someone stays as a hostage, you don't have much time." ”
Xiang Yuan looked at Canaan and said, "Bring Chang Yu quickly." ”
Canaan nodded, and the poison crystal wings behind him stretched out, rushing into the sky at full speed and heading straight for the city in the lake.
Sasha pouted and looked at the huge body of the Thorn King, as if she had stabbed it a few times with her own bone claws.
Xiang Yuan said: "King of Thorns, we have to wait for about an hour anyway, why don't we talk about something?" ”
"Okay, let's talk."
"What do you think of Aoki's forest? How does his people get along with us? Xiang Yuan asked.
"As far as I know, very few elves and humans can live in peace, and you are the most harmonious, even miracle, I have ever seen."
Xiang Yuan shook his head and said: "It's not a miracle, but we are willing to trust each other, I will pass on the technology and knowledge mastered by human beings to them, and they are also willing to help us and provide us with enough materials." With the help of humans, the Spirit Race can make them take a lot of detours and form a perfect race faster, after all, your Spirit Race has just been born, and we humans have been living in this world for tens of thousands of years. ”
"You want to work with us?"
"Of course."
"Why, I can feel that you are very strong, even I can't say that I can defeat you, if I add the companions and Qingling Flower behind you, I will be defeated. If your companions are that strong, you don't need to be afraid of any living thing. The King of Thorns asked.
"You are wrong, you know too little about this world, and the real strong enemy is very terrifying, so I hope to unite with all races to face the future crisis together, so that everyone can hope to survive in this world." Xiang Yuan said.
"What is the enemy that makes you feel scared?"
"I don't know, the more you understand the world, the more you will feel small, whether it is human beings or you spirits, they are all social creatures, and unity is the best way to survive the crisis." Xiang Yuan said.
"I can feel the fear and sincerity in your heart, but before that, you must complete the detoxification." The King of Thorns said.
"Definitely, and I will pay for you first, to show our sincerity." Xiang Yuan said.
"Okay."
After more than an hour, the King of Thorns asked Xiang Yuan a lot of questions, and Xiang Yuan could feel that the King of Thorns was very eager to understand this strange world, and Xiang Yuan would naturally tell him what he knew.
But more than an hour later, Canaan still hadn't returned, which made Xiang Yuan feel that something was wrong, and immediately contacted Canaan with the message bracelet. (To be continued)
