"Who are you?"
"I don't have a name, I'm the lord of this forest!" The voice responded to Li Xin.
"Overlord of the Deep Forest?" Li Xin exclaimed.
"Is this what you humans have given me a name? Then you can call me that! The old voice echoed in Li Xin's ears. The latter didn't know that outside of her outer consciousness, Shihan was nervously holding the long sword, wary of the slowly approaching fibrous roots, she didn't know why Li Xin suddenly stood motionless in place after exclaiming just now. She must keep him safe now, no matter what, until Li Xin regains his senses.
"Where is this, how are you staying with me, you can talk, you can't talk if you don't tree." Li Xin shook his head suddenly, in this darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, he tried to find the source of the sound.
"This is the conscious mind of your brain, human, you are right, trees don't speak, but I communicate with you through my mind." The voice of the dying old grew closer and closer from far to near, as if speaking in the ear.
"Why do you want to kill us?" Li Xin's voice became vigilant.
"No, I didn't plan to do that at first, I was asleep, and you woke me up." The Overlord of the Deep Forest whispered, "The heat of the flames woke me up, and that ill-intentioned woman made my mood worse. ”
Li Xin asked rhetorically, "All you want to kill us?" ”
"Nope!" He didn't seem to admit to strangling himself, "I need energy, it's out of my body's instinct, before, I slept here, absorbed the food nearby, those plants grew here, animals came, they survived by absorbing my power, I just cleaned the fleas from my body!" ”
Li Xin was a little angry: "But you did almost kill me!" ”
The old tree replied hoarsely: "I just want what you have, the inheritance from the outsider, which contains rich abilities, I need him, take him to me, and you can leave." ”
"You know what this thing is?" Li Xin asked.
"I don't know, at the beginning of the cataclysm, after I gained some kind of ability to wake up, I continued to fight, and I continued to hunt other strange beasts to strengthen myself, as time went by, I became stronger and stronger, and I could even leave the ground and move my body anywhere, at that time, I encountered the disappearance!"
"What disappears?" Li Xin was going to ask.
"It's that the ground is gone, and I plunged part of my body into the darkness, trying to know what was in there, but that part disappeared, and there was a huge crater along with the ground, and I was injured at that time, and I was very badly injured, so I found a place to sleep, and this is the place where I first encountered the crater." The old tree began to reminisce about his past. "After that, the forest I was in was in ruins because I wantonly absorbed the nutrients of the soil sac, but the land where I was still fertile was still there. So, many creatures came to live here, and in the constant fighting, a strong man was finally born, perhaps the overlord that you humans call it, and it stupidly challenged me. Wants to take away the ruling power of the forest. His intelligence did not dare, not even immediately, that this forest existed because of my presence, so I, who had just recovered my vitality, chose to kill the stupid fellow and wipe out its population, and I would never allow such a pest to appear in my own place. ”
"Pests? The name is accurate. Li Xin suddenly asked curiously, "How can you use human language?" ”
"I won't. However, human beings are truly an intelligent race, and it is only by absorbing the genes of those killed humans that my consciousness begins to become clear, and many doubts are easily solved. The ancient tree said slowly: "Once, a human discovered my existence, but he didn't know my secret, thinking that I was the overlord of some kind of mutant beast in this forest, so this is why you have this crusade!" ”
"How do you know these things?" Li Xin suddenly became vigilant.
"I turned the page to the memories in your mind!"
"Damn, how dare you do that!" Li Xin roared angrily, and countless ripples suddenly appeared in the entire pitch-black space.
"I don't mean anything malicious!"
"Damn, you're not without malice?"
"Yes, I have no ill intentions, otherwise you would have died long ago!" The tone of the ancient tree was as flat as water. "There are very few humans who can reach your level now, it's too rare, even if it's a mutant beast, there are only a few dozen! You're not enemies, because there are some even more terrifying monsters, remember what you call the crater? The monsters that emerged from nowhere, the outsiders who claimed to be the Bronze Clan, these invaders, are our common enemies. ”
Li Xin asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
"I don't know, maybe from the first instinct! There is a consciousness that makes me do this, and you can't refuse, because they will bring terrible disasters, and since I killed that bronze clan, it has caused a heavy blow in my hand and I fell into a deep sleep. ”
"What would I get if I gave it to you?" Li Xin asked.
"I don't know, maybe you can leave safely, after absorbing the ability, I will soon fall into a deep sleep again because of the absorption ability." The ancient tree leaves no doubt about it.
"Keeping me alone, yes, it's a good deal." Li Xin sneered and said that he had no choice, because the damn Deep Forest Overlord could also do it after killing them.
"Goodbye human, you'll wake up soon." The sound of the ancient tree faded away, and the sound became fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared.
In vain, Li Xin opened his eyes, and he found that his body was held in mid-air, and a damn fibrous root was inserted into his mouth. At this moment, Li Xin finally knew how the damn old tree communicated with him and how to obtain the information in his memory.
"Get out of here!" Li Xin's hands exerted force, and the cocoon surrounded by the fibrous roots of his body was instantly torn apart, and he stood on the ground again, pulled out the stuff in his mouth, and threw it on the ground and trampled it hard. As for the crystal in the handbag, it has disappeared, and the skin bag that originally contained the crystal was found in the place, and the contents have disappeared.
"Damn bandits!" Li Xin muttered and glanced around, he found that Shihan had countless fibrous roots, and he was comfortably forming a cocoon next to him, "No, this is impossible!" Li Xin's anger was like a volcanic eruption, and he reached out tremblingly to break open the cocoon formed by the roots, pulled the poem out of it, and found that she was not dead, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wake up, wake up!" Li Xin called in a low voice.
The girl quickly opened her eyes and found that her lover was holding her, and her eyes couldn't help but be wet with tears. "You're not dead, you're not dead, I thought you were dead, I thought ...... I'm so scared! ”
"Don't worry, it's okay, everything will be fine!" Li Xin gently patted the girl's shoulder and kissed her cheek to comfort him.
In vain, next to the two of them, a root suddenly grew out of the soil, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, flowering, and bearing a translucent yellow fruit, like a work of art carved by silicon crystal. Li Xin knew that this was the feedback given by the old tree after the old tree took away his vigilance.
He stooped down to pick the fruit, and soon the plant withered at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Eat! If you eat this, you will become stronger, and you won't have to worry about it in the future! Li Xin put the fruit in front of Shihan and said softly.
"What is this?" Shihan asked in a choked voice.
"The crystallization of strength, the gift of the forest." Li Xin urged in a low voice: "Eat it up, don't let others see it, they can't stand this temptation!" ”
Shihan took a bite, and suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength, he handed the fruit to Li Xin, and said, "You eat it too!" ”
"Silly girl, my strength is far stronger than yours, even if you eat it, there is nothing to do, eat it cleanly, they are coming." Li Xin urged. Without the hindrance of the vines, the Fire Rose had found him, and was rushing towards this direction at a rapid pace.
"After eating, just close your eyes and sleep well, don't worry, I'm here, after waking up, we will be fine together." Li Xin's words seemed to have some kind of magical power, and after eating the fruit, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At this time, the fire rose had already appeared on the other side, and walked towards him quickly, and it seemed that Shihan lying in Li Xin's arms couldn't help but cover his mouth.
Li Xin picked up the poem, glanced at the fire rose, and said coldly: "Shut up, she's just tired and asleep, and it's time for us to leave this ghost place." With that, he walked out of the forest. ”
Damn fellow, I was going to comfort him. Fire Rose looked at Li Xin's distant back, very annoyed, and the few people behind him didn't know what was going on.
