Chapter 108: The Ancient Tree
"That's easy to say. Seeing that Sieg had no intention of doing anything to himself, the fat apprentice was in a hurry to get dressed, turn over and turn over to turn things in the collapsed tent.
This fat man was actually depressed in his heart, and he was sleeping soundly with the beauty in his arms, but he was suddenly dragged out of the bed to find a map, and the beauty turned into a pool of black water.
But he didn't show anything at all, because the blood pressure emanating from the young man in front of him made him a little breathless.
This is a sign of the bloodline of higher creatures!
The fat man didn't have to work long, and soon ran over with a leather map.
"Your Excellency...... Here's what you want!" the fat apprentice handed Sigurd.
Sieg nodded, took a look, and smiled, "Thank you." ”
He looked around and saw that the people around him were awakened by the sound here, and they hid in the distance to watch. Some of the musketeers were still watching Sigurt with muskets in their hands, but when he glanced at them, they all trembled and put them away.
"You're also going to the Ancient Tree Tribe?" asked Sigurd, looking down at the route on the map again.
The fat apprentice nodded like a peck: "Yes, our caravan has captured a large number of slaves this time, and they are ready to be transported to the harbor for export through the Libysos River. ”
As he spoke, he tentatively looked up at Sig's face, and then said hesitantly, "Your Excellency...... If you're going to the Ancient Tree Tribe...... You can come with us. ”
He was keenly aware that Sige's identity was not ordinary, and immediately had a stammering mind.
In the wizard's circle, the path of an apprentice is very difficult, and if there is an enthusiastic senior to help him, the road will be much easier.
"Not interested. Sieg refused directly.
He wasn't interested in being a bodyguard for this large group of people.
"Slave caravans. Sigurt noticed that the caravan musketeers seemed to be camped around a large circle of tents, which were crowded with unkempt xenomorph slaves.
It's just that these xenomorph slaves are not the same as the xenos that Sigur has seen before.
"Tsk, there are so many beautiful women. Sieg looked at the slaves with admiration.
The alien slaves of the New World have always given people the feeling of rough skin, distorted appearance, and neither human nor ghost. It's rare to see a handsome slave like this, and it should be sold for a good price when transported back to the home continent.
Most of these xenomorph slaves are fair-skinned, with blue eyes, high chests, and a large waist that can be held in the waist. They had pointed ears and helpless expressions on their faces, huddled together to keep warm.
Among them, the most outstanding ones, if they are singled out for auction, I am afraid that it will be enough to make those nobles on the mainland go crazy. It's no wonder that these trading companies are willing to go to great lengths to cross the ocean and come here.
Noticing that Sieg's gaze was a little hot, the fat apprentice showed a strange face.
"Your Excellency...... These slaves were found deep in the rainforest. The fat apprentice stood next to him and explained, "This is a strange race, they have a beautiful face and a graceful body, but ...... But they are all men. ”
Male?
Sigger's face froze suddenly, and he noticed that it seemed to ...... It seems that a few of these beautiful slave girls do have round Adam's apples around their necks......
"What a this is......" Sieg felt his interest be extinguished.
"Hey, hey. The fat magician smiled and said, "When I first knew, I was just like you, and my heart was galloping. But there are many nobles on the mainland, just like this one, these slaves dressed as men can often be sold for a higher price than beautiful female slaves. ”
Sig glanced at him speechlessly, and the erosion of the nobles was really not something he could imagine.
......
Simply leaving the caravan, Sig continued on his journey overnight.
Now with the map, I finally don't have to go around in circles in the rainforest anymore. In one night's time, Sieg had stepped out of the dense rainforest and onto the wide river.
After walking along the river for several hours, a giant ancient tree towering between heaven and earth finally appeared in front of him.
"Ancient Tree Tribe, I'm back. Sieg's eyes were foggy.
As a small transit point along the Libersos River, life of the Ancient Tree Tribe continues to operate as usual.
Occasionally, a few passing merchant ships anchored for supplies, but most of them left quickly. People here have a very short lifespan, and many people die every day, but again, many people are born every day.
Sieg walked from the river, stepping into the edge of the Ancient Tree Tribe again.
The last time they were a group of six, this time they were the only ones back.
"Last time, I was inexplicably stolen a lot of blood, and now I want to see what is so unsightly here!" Sigurd stood beside the village, his eyes turning crimson suddenly.
Previously, at Level Zero, Crimson Eyes were limited in what they could see. Now at level 1, Sigurt opened his crimson eyes again, hoping to see something hide.
The field of vision was suddenly shrouded in blood red, and Sig found that the world seemed to turn pale red in an instant, and the air was full of inexplicable blood-colored particles.
And the giant ancient tree in front of it was bright red all over, like the color of blood!
Not only that, but what surprised Seeger even more was yet to come!
Giant ancient trees are deeply rooted in the ground, spreading out countless dense networks of roots. These roots spread out like blood vessels, connecting one living person after another.
Yes!
At this moment, the villagers of the Ancient Tree Tribe who were walking in front of Sig were walking by, and the soles of their feet corresponded to the roots connected to the ground. These people ...... It's like being a part of this ancient tree!
Not only that, when Sig stepped into the realm of the Ancient Tree Tribe, the roots under the ground, one by one, as if they smelled something, desperately grew and spread, and were extending in the direction where Sig was standing!
This posture is to connect Sig with him.
"I see. Sieg suddenly said, "Last time, was our bloodline stolen like this......
He finally understood why the people of the Ancient Tree Tribe were so short-lived, so pale and sick.
This tribe is clearly the people raised by this huge ancient tree!
For thousands of years, generations of villagers have used their lives to support this evil blood-sucking ancient tree, and their dead bodies have also been absorbed by the ancient tree as fertilizer.
The dense roots of the ground are like blood vessels, connecting every living person and absorbing blood from their bodies. Even the merchants who passed by were plucking their feathers.
Now, a thick tendrils are spreading towards Sig.
"Get out of here!"
Sigur lifted his foot and slammed it to the ground.
Bang.
Suddenly, the ground shook, like an earthquake, and a huge crack opened.
The spreading roots were exposed directly in the cracks and were forced to stop.
