Chapter 16: The Gru Tree

It was as if he had walked into a lost underground world, which reminded Li Yi of the adventures he had seen in the center of the earth, and what he could see was a completely upside-down world, with tree roots intertwined in the sky.

It was a sky made of rocks, like a cover covering the whole world, and then the whole huge tree stood upside down, and the thick trunk grew from the rock above the head from the top down, and below was a huge mushroom-like canopy, with green shades.

And then below is the vast ocean, blue as the sky, as far as the eye can see, flowing in a direction that does not know the end.

A ray of light like the rising sun came from the direction at the end of the day, illuminating the whole world.

"Please follow me."

Just when Li Yi was enjoying this wonderful scene, he suddenly heard a simple voice like a little boy, Li Yi looked at it dumbfounded, and saw that the tree man in front of him made an inviting gesture to him.

"Can you speak?" Li Yi asked incredulously.

"Hmm." The treant nodded with a smile on his face. Then stretched out his hand, countless green vines slowly flew out from the green canopy, and built a simple bridge in the sky, the tree man walked slowly along the bridge, and Li Yi could only follow in his unbelievable gaze.

Then, he followed the tree man into the huge canopy, and the dense green leaves of the canopy automatically became sparse after seeing the tree man and Li Yi, and Li Yi also saw the scene in the canopy.

Moment. I was speechless.

It turned out that these inverted canopies were the houses of the tree people, and the whole house was like a bird's nest. Completely wrapped in thick branches and foliage, Li Yi was very soft under his feet, a bit like stepping on thick snowflakes, but it looked very firm.

The five tree people who looked older than the tree man who came here with Li Yi had been waiting for him for a long time in the tree house, and after seeing the tree man walk in with Li Yi, their old bodies slowly stood up.

"Welcome. Strangers from afar! "The central treant seems to be the oldest, with gray skin, like a tree that is slowly losing its life.

The other four treants followed behind and saluted him. Li Yi looked at this qiē a little bewildered.

And the tree man who brought Li Yi here, after seeing that the task was completed, was about to leave, but was stopped by this tree man.

"Grum. You stay. There are some things you need to know. ”

This voice was very old, and Li Yi also knew that the tree man he had saved was called Grum, only to see Grum's face was surprised, the expression on his face was very funny, and then he nodded and said respectfully: "Okay, Uyghur prophet." ”

Then I saw this prophet named Uyghur nodding and then raising his hand. The branches under Li Yi's feet began to change, and a simple chair appeared after his death.

"Please be seated."

Li Yi didn't do it politely. Then I heard the Uyghur prophet say in a somewhat desolate tone: "Thank you for saving Groot yesterday, please accept our respect for you." ”

"No, no, no......" Li Yi hurriedly waved his hand, in front of these tree people, he was like a child.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Li Yi asked very dryly, looking at the battle in front of him to receive him, he knew that things would definitely not be simply to thank him.

The five tree people glanced at each other, as if they were exchanging something, and made a Gruglu voice that Li Yi couldn't understand at all.

After a while, the Uyghur Prophet spoke: "Yes, we need your help, and after knowing that you saved Groot yesterday, we think that only you can help us." ”

Li Yi was a little stunned, not understanding what they wanted to help themselves.

I heard the Uyghur prophet speak: "We are the Gelug tree people, the children of the god of trees, and we have lived on this planet for hundreds of millions of years since the first seed germinated. We love nature and peace, and hate endless strife. We would have thought that we could live so quietly and peacefully on this planet, but, a few natural days ago, a great force sensed our being. ”

"Great power?"

Li Yi was stunned and didn't understand what it was.

I saw that the Uyghur prophet didn't know much about it, and said: "That power has only swept over our planet gently, but we have felt it, we have been discovered, and from that moment on, we know that the quiet and peaceful days are going to be far away." ”

At this time, the alpha hidden in Li Yi's ring suddenly spoke: "It should be the Protos clan of the Life Council, they have the power of the mind, and the minds of the intelligent races in the universe cannot escape their prying eyes. They must feel the creatures here, that's why so many people come here, and that's what they do these nasty things. ”

Alpha's tone slowly became disdainful, as if he was very disgusted.

Li Yizhi didn't have much expression, still looked at the tree man in front of him seriously and asked, "Don't you want to be discovered, I mean, what if, even if you are discovered by other beings, they don't harm you, just to protect you?" ”

Didn't Alpha say that all the people of the Council of Life will protect intelligent life?

The Uyghur prophet shook his head and replied in a mournful tone: "We are the children of the god of trees, although we can live for a long, long time, but the birth of every new life is extremely difficult, each of our lives is the embodiment of the purest breath of this planet, and it takes hundreds of years to become a new life, which does not allow the slightest difference, so our world does not allow a trace of pollution, the air cannot have a trace of dust, and there can be no impurities in the sea and rivers." ”

"I know that the force that has glanced at us has no ill will, but, I believe, not all other lives, just like the ones that hurt Grum yesterday, as long as we are discovered, then strife cannot be avoided. When the time comes, the air will no longer be pure, the rivers will be full of mud, the earth will be full of holes, and then our race will be in danger of extinction. ”

When the Uyghur voice fell, Li Yi probably understood, but he was a little curious at the same time.

"What can I do for you?"

As the words fell, I heard the angry rebuke of Alpha from the ring.

"Don't be nosy, we don't have that much time."

"Don't be in a hurry, listen first, we can't leave now anyway, can't we, wouldn't it be better if we could help them?" Li Yi said comfortingly.

After hearing Li Yi's question, these tree people also communicated with Gelugru, and then after unifying their opinions, the Uyghur prophet spoke: "We want you to be our representative, and go with Grum to negotiate with those beings who appear here, so that they leave our planet and never come back." ”

"That's all, isn't that really a good note?" Li Yi frowned and said, "With all due respect, from the moment your planet was discovered, your existence has been known to many people, and even if they leave, there will be more greedy beings coming here." ”

Li Yi's words made these tree people change color a little, their pure thinking made them unable to think about more things, knowing how terrible the greed and sinister nature of human nature is, even the prophet in front of him, who has lived for a long, long time, can't guess.

They started to communicate with Grugru, this time the exchange lasted for a long time, and there was no answer, Li Yi looked at these tree people with nothing to do next to him, and then glanced at Grum next to them, he closed his eyes, seemed to be dozing, felt Li Yi's gaze, and smiled slightly with a simple smile.

The more the tree people discussed, the louder Gru's voice became, and he seemed a little angry, a little pessimistic and hopeless, but there was no normal result.

At this time, Li Yi clapped his hands a little uncontrollably, and after attracting their attention, he said: "Things are not that bad, I mean, if you can, you may be able to listen to my opinion." ”

The eyes of all the tree people were fierce, and they looked at him with an expectant expression, which made Li Yi a little helpless.

"I mean, now that you've been discovered, it's impossible to escape, but maybe you can talk to the life outside, I mean, you can apply for protection or something, maybe there's the best of both worlds."

Then it was Gruglu's voice again, but this time it ended quickly, and the Uyghur prophet said to Li Yi with high respect and gratitude: "Thank you for your construction, this may be the best way now." ”

As he spoke, he summoned Grum, who seemed to be about to fall asleep.

"Come here, kid!"

Groom saw the Uyghur prophet calling him and walked over respectfully.

I saw the Uyghur prophet, patted on the top of Grum's head, spoke strange language, and then saw the green light from the Uyghur prophet's body to Grum's body, and then I heard the Uyghur prophet speak slowly.

"This is the wisdom that our people have been passing on, and now I give it to you, and you will take our place with this good being, to negotiate for us and those who are outside."

Soon, the inheritance ceremony of knowledge was over, and when Groom stood up again, Li Yi found that there were already a few rays of wisdom in his deep eyes, but the expression on his face was still so honest that people couldn't help laughing.

Li Yi couldn't help but smile, but was surprised to see that the Uyghur prophet suddenly waved to him as well.

"What is this?" (To be continued......)
