Chapter 228: The Humanoid Tree
Ye Xi, Mi and the Wo Raccoon walked into the tallest stone house under the leadership of Ze.
The interior of this stone house is wide and bright, and the walls, floor tiles and roof are all polished with large pieces of fine bluewall stone, which is insect and moisture-resistant, smooth and has a unique stone aroma, reminiscent of a forest after rain.
In the center of the roof of the stone house was a large circular hole, through which the sun shone directly into the huge stone bed placed underneath.
On the sun-drenched stone bed, a humanoid creature lay silently...... The humanoid creature was massive, almost twice the size of a human. The skin was completely tree-like, as rough and cracked as the bark, and when dug up, it was no different from ordinary bark, and it was thickly wrapped, like a heavy armor.
The stone bed was covered with a thick layer of moist earth, and its back, including its limbs, and its head were covered with dense roots, which dug deep into the soil along the stone bed and joined the stone bed.
At the moment it was spread out on all fours, as if it had been nailed to a stone bed, motionless, almost like a dead thing if it had not had for the slight heaving of its chest.
Ye Xi was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and then he reacted, "it" should be the patriarch of the Tree People Clan.
It seemed to hear movement, and its cracked eyelids, like tree bark, slowly opened a slit, revealing the black lens inside. A slit opened in the position of the mouth of the head, and he struggled to make a slow sound: "Over...... Come ......"
The voice was as if it had been sharpened by jagged teeth, and it was horribly hoarse.
Seeing the appearance of the patriarch of the Tree People Clan, Ye Xi, including the two warriors of Ganqi, were a little numb.
Would the Treants become like this when they were dying...... Watching yourself turn into a real tree like this?
"Come here, boys. A kind and warm voice rang out from behind the stone bed.
Only then did the three of them realize that there was an old man sitting quietly behind the stone bed.
Maybe it was because the sunlight above the stone bed was too dazzling, or maybe the "people" on the stone bed were too shocking, so they didn't notice that there was an old man sitting in the back of the sun, looking at them kindly.
This discovery almost didn't make the three of them break out in a cold sweat.
As warriors, even the best of warriors, they are so careless! If the other party is hostile, they don't even know when they will die!
However, the three of them were immediately relieved, after all, the other party was a legendary witch, and it was not shameful not to detect a great witch in time.
The three of them walked to the side of the stone bed and respectfully saluted in unison: "I have seen the great witch of the tree people, and I have seen the patriarch of the tree people." ”
Mi and the Nest Fox were a little nervous.
The Great Witch is a legendary existence, and it is more difficult to see him than to pick ten different flowers, and even the chiefs and witches of their Ganqi tribe have not been fortunate enough to meet him. But at this moment, the Great Witch was watching them from half a step away!
Ye Xi was better, because he had seen the demeanor of another great witch in the prairie.
The great witch in the black robe was fierce, striding on the wide prairie with a bone staff, and along the way the beasts were easy to change, and the insects were frightened, and his transcendent demeanor was unforgettable.
He glanced at the Great Witch in front of him. Compared to the black-robed Great Witch, this Great Witch of the Treant Clan looked more like an ordinary old man in good health, his face was ruddy, his hair was full of fluffy silver, and he had a snow-white beard, which had a childish appearance.
But the seemingly ordinary old man in front of him once controlled the overwhelming tree roots, covering the bare ground for several miles.
Ye Xi didn't dare to look more after a glance, and like the other two fighters, his eyelids drooped, staring at the ground motionless.
Da Wu's approving gaze swept over the three warriors in front of him, and he paused on Ye Xi for a while before smiling, "You are all excellent. ”
The voice of the Great Witch is very gentle, reminiscent of the warm sun of winter.
"Thank you, Great Witch!"
Ye Xi was better, Mi and the fox were so excited that their cheeks flushed with excitement when they were praised by the Great Witch, and although they tried their best to hold their own strength, the excitement and joy still came out of the corners of their eyes and eyebrows. If there might be a tail, the two of them are already wagging at this point.
The Great Witch of the Tree People Clan glanced at Ze on the side, Ze immediately brought the clay pot, opened the lid, took out three dominoes from it and handed them to the three of them one by one.
The dominoes are white and crystalline, shrouded in a dreamy white halo under the sunlight, and the vermilion witch patterns painted on it seem to have life, faintly circulating.
Ye Xi was taken aback when he took the domino, because this domino was much heavier than he imagined, Ye Xi estimated that this palm-sized domino would have to be more than a dozen catties, and the density was terrifying.
After dividing the blessing dominoes, Ze put away the clay pot and stood behind the Great Witch.
The Great Witch said slowly: "These three blessing dominoes are the reward for this competition, you accept them first." ”
"As for the Dryad...... It is a very precious token, in case it is lost, before you go far, you come again, Ze will hand over the tree spirit stone to you. ”
The three of them naturally had no objections, and responded in unison: "Yes!"
Dawu smiled and nodded: "The caravan will probably depart in about a month, and you can prepare well in this month." ”
"Yes!"
The Great Witch smiled kindly and said, "Don't be so restrained, this time it's our Treant Clan who will bother you." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" the three of them said in fear.
Just kidding! This is a great witch! Even the witches of their tribe have to be respectful in front of him, and they answer with their heads half-bowed, how dare these juniors say anything in front of the big witch.
The Great Witch suddenly stood up, and slowly walked to the stone bed with a bone staff, and the whole person was exposed to the incandescent sunlight. He was dressed in a pure white robe, with snow-white fluffy hair and a robe that was white and piercing in the sun.
He looked down at the Treant Patriarch.
The Treant Clan's patriarch's eyes only opened a slit, and the black crystal eyeballs were a little moist, faintly glowing with crystal tears.
The Great Witch and he looked at each other quietly for a while, sighed softly, patted it on the shoulder, and turned to the three of them: "The significance of this mission to our Trekken is not just to find a lost fellow. ”
The three of them were stunned.
"The more important thing about this trip is to save the patriarch of our Trean. Da Wu's face was solemn, and he looked at the three of them with a bone cane.
The nest fox couldn't help but raise its head in shock: "...... Save the patriarch?"
"More than 900 years ago, one of our lost clansmen was the patriarch of the Treant Clan at that time, and when he was separated, he held in his hand the treasure of our Treant Clan, the Origin Crystal. ”
"The Origin Crystal contains the most primordial power of our Treants, which can make up for the life essence lost by the Treants due to accidents, and restore the Treants to health. ”
"So this time, I ask you to go to our clan, not only to confirm their current situation, but also to get back the Origin Crystal and save our patriarch. ”
The fox keenly caught the keyword, widened his eyes slightly, and blurted out, "Could it be that the patriarch of the Treant Clan is like this...... Isn't it because you're getting older?"
The Great Witch was silent for a moment, and just looked at him with a bone staff.
At this moment, the great witch of the Treant Race was bathed in the sun, and his body was dazzling and snow-white, as if it was glowing, and there was a dazzling sense of sacredness. Looking at people so silently at this moment, not only the fox fox, but even Ye Xi had a suffocating sense of oppression.
