Wu is dead.

The news spread quickly among the tribes, and the first reaction of the tribesmen was not sadness, but questioning, how old is Wu Cai! How long has she been in power? She has not been fighting, she is not sick, and she is in good health, how can she die?

Immediately afterwards, he reacted, this witch is not another witch, the old witch's body, a few years ago, was not good, gave the affairs to the new witch, and lived in seclusion behind the scenes, knowing that he would not live long, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden.

After hearing the news, everyone was in a bad mood, especially the Mu clan, the clansmen were listless, absent-minded, and there was a depressing atmosphere all day long, and most of the clansmen grew up watching him.

It was listening to his story, under his company, gradually growing up, he did too much for the tribe, he was a respectable and amiable elder, but he died, died in the orchard in the back mountain, and died right.

Although I knew in my heart that there would be such a day sooner or later, when this day came, everyone was sad, even if there were high-level leaders who were prepared, they were all depressed, and their mood dropped to the bottom.

The funeral will be held in half a month, and the news will spread to the Fire Clan, the Mountain Clan, and the Lin Clan through the newly built stone road, and those who can rush back are rushing back as soon as possible, and those who can't come back are also trying to rush back.

The next day, the corpse was collected, escorted by everyone, transported to the sacrificial square, parked under the totem tree, waiting for cremation, under the tree is full of spiritual energy, can ensure that the corpse does not decompose for a long time.

However, as soon as they arrived here, what happened made everyone stunned, and the silent totem tree revived on its own, with a glowing glow all around it, and the thorns hanging all over the treetops danced, and the two thorns slowly stretched towards the body.

The people around were stunned, Lin Lin didn't know what it wanted to do, and subconsciously wanted to stop it and protect the body of the Wood Witch, but the Wood Spirit grabbed her and shook his head at her, the Totem Tree would not hurt the Wood Witch.

I saw two wattle sticks, stopping above the corpse, the tip of the thorn stick, the light continued to flicker, becoming more and more verdant, and finally turned into two drops of spiritual liquid, fell into the body of the wood witch, and the two wattle sticks also turned into decay.

The spiritual liquid soaked into the body of the wood witch along the thin silk clothes, and the turquoise light flickered, and then quickly disappeared and dissipated, and the disappeared breath of life slowly erected from the body, and the stagnant heart also resumed beating.

Covered with white silk cloth, wearing a white silk robe, and a serene face, the wood witch suddenly opened his eyes, and in his sight, a pair of frightened eyes appeared, he closed his eyes, and opened them again, it was still such a scene.

With a long breath, Mu Wu struggled and wanted to sit up, but Lin Lin reacted, took a few steps forward, and supported him, with surprise in his eyes, staring at Mu Wu with burning eyes, wanting to confirm something.

"It's me. Mu Wu said hoarsely, showing a pale smile, patting her hand, Lin Lin couldn't hold back any longer, her smile was like a flower, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, buried in his arms, and cried.

Gently stroking her head, Mu Wu silently comforted, Mu Ling was also excited, took two steps forward, and hurriedly asked, "Wu, are you okay?"

Mu Wu nodded, shook his head again, everyone didn't know why, so they heard him say: "It was the totem that helped me and gave me a few years of life, and when my life is exhausted, I still have to die, and birth, old age, sickness and death are irreversible." ”

In fact, what the totem tree really did was not to give him a life span out of thin air, but to make up for his incompleteness, and return the lost eight years of life to him, so that he was truly "flawless" and let him breathe for eight more years.

Lin Lin's body shook violently, raised his red eyes, and looked at him, Mu Ling's faces were also gloomy, but Mu Wu was extraordinarily free and easy, and said with a smile: "Don't be like this, you are going to die, and it is also an unexpected gain to live a few more years." ”

There was silence for a moment before Mu Ling spoke: "Wu, do you want to take back the news?"

"No, let them come back! There are some things I need to talk about. Mu Wu said quietly, as he spoke, he looked at Lin Lin, looked into her eyes, and said with a light smile: "I want to try, I want to live, live with you." ”

......

Originally, as early as twenty years ago, Mu Wu was ready to return to the jungle, defeated the Lin Hou Department, and solved the threat of the Wang Department, but he was even more distracted, quietly waiting, and calmly facing the coming of death.

He is tired, he wants to sleep peacefully, and he feels that it is time to go, let's go!

However, when he met Lin Lin, at first, he just thought she was amazing, giving him a faint sense of familiarity and intimacy, and later contact made him feel that she was a little brainy, a little cowardly, and self-righteous and cute.

After returning to seclusion, in the company of getting along day and night, feelings secretly sprouted, there were concerns, reluctance, and fetters, and the atrium that had been empty for one hundred and forty years was settled in for the first time and completely filled by others.

He was reluctant, reluctant to let go, reluctant to leave, eight years was a long time, but he was not satisfied, he wanted to live for a lifetime, he wanted to hug her into his arms, he didn't want to die, he wanted to fight for himself.

Just like the big men of the ages, when their life is about to end, in order to continue to live, they have to work hard, toss and toss, he also decided to toss and toss, how to say that he is also the first generation of witches, and he can't go quietly.

It's not realistic to talk about eternal life, at least to live longer, to break through! Breaking through to become a supernatural warrior and enjoying a longer life is his goal, and the only sure way out, he decided to give it a go.

But he is already old and frail, his qi and blood are completely depleted and exhausted, and he has completely lost hope, and it is difficult for the witch to break through to the sky, not to mention the old witch who is about to reach the end of his life, and if he wants to break through, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

The remaining spiritual fruits of the tribe now have only one dragon fruit, one papaya, two walnuts, and three plums, all of which were snatched from the forest department, and the peony flowers have been sold out one after another, and there is not much spiritual fruit left in the headquarters.

Nearly ripe, there are only grass fruits and pine cones in a single fruit, and many fruits are ripe, there is a white pear and a tomato, and the clumps of spirit plants are of no use for the awakening of the ability warriors, and there is no need to place hope.

In terms of the forest department, there are a lot of spiritual plants in the territory, and after the stone road was opened, troops were sent to transplant and carry them back to the headquarters, but they had just been picked by the forest and were close to maturity, and they were also picked, and the harvest was limited.

The mature plus general is mature, and it is definitely not enough for him to consume, the best situation is to help him recover his peak for a short time, but what should he do if he awakens, the second awakening of Wu is much more difficult than that of ordinary warriors.

There are only three major kings and a few great warriors, and those witches, also known as the great witches, means that the strength and quality of the abilities are far greater than those of the later warriors.

Although the physique is not high, but relying on the ability, it can match the late stage warriors, the wood tribe has been cultivated for more than a hundred years, and there are only two people in the middle stage of their own cultivation, and the later stage is far away, how can it be so easy to break through?

After judging that the existing spirit plants could not help him break through, the Wood Witch set his eyes on those legendary strange things, and opened the dusty bark book for a long time, looking for the strange things that were most likely to help.

Legends may not be credible, but sometimes, I really can't help but believe it, I have witnessed the strangeness of the totem tree, and he has gradually held some hope for those empty strange things, which is better than doing nothing.

Regarding the identity of the totem tree, it is also found in the story of Xiao Ze: the tree that inherits the sky and builds the wood, the wood that tends to be auspicious and avoids evil, the upper pass is clear, and the yellow spring is down, which can carry and make up for the sky dome, and can moisturize and transform the earth.

Some are purely apocryphal, such as the upper poor Yellow Spring and the lower blue fall, the totem tree is high, and it is only thirty zhang, how can it be so outrageous, but there is also an appropriate place, the effect of mending the sky, can be understood as making up for the incompleteness, to ensure the perfection.

Moisturizing and transforming the earth, it is more certain, the totem tree does have the effect of gathering aura, nourishing and improving the earth, the closer to it, the more obvious the effect, no matter what plant, can be transplanted and survived.

As for the auspicious and evil avoidance, it can also be understood that a small amount, after eating the plants it transformed, the beast does not need the phantom fruit, and the ferocity will be weakened, but the effect is not high, or, it is literal, to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

For more than 100 years, the wood tribe has been smooth sailing, and every time it can turn evil into good fortune, it may not be without its effect. The existence of the totem tree also imperceptibly gave Mu Wu confidence that he would definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune.

In half a month, he rummaged through ten miscellaneous books, found five kinds of strange things that might exist in the jungle and were effective for him, selected and recorded the characteristics of the five strange things, and made five booklets.

Choosing the jungle, it is not difficult to understand, far water can not quench the thirst of the near, and the jungle is its own territory, the danger is low, different from other regions, not only to avoid the dangerous beasts, but also to avoid other tribes.

He also asked Lin Lin what the specific source of the record in the book was, but Lin Lin told him that it was written down by the Lin Hou Department for 4,000 years, and the interval was too long, and he didn't know the origin for a long time.

I can only hit the idea on other tribes, the tribes in the jungle, who have survived for generations, must have a lot of understanding of the things around them, and a few tribes also have totems like Jianmu.

Perhaps, those totems of tribal belief were the strange things he was looking for, and when everyone rushed to the headquarters, he immediately set out to organize ten pioneer teams to visit various tribes in the name of trading teams.

Ten teams, all led by special warriors, except for the three people who served in the military, there were fourteen special warriors left in the tribe, except for Lin Tuo, Mu Yu, Mu You, and Mu Liu who stayed behind to support, and the others were all sent out.

He took a hundred flesh and blood warriors, two hundred blood warriors, rode mounts, war oxen, war horses, and war deer, and began to search everywhere, and there were also maps of the jungle, and brochures of strange things, all rubbed to them.

The team set out on the edge of the East China Sea, and each team, divided into ten squads, was jointly responsible for an area of two hundred miles, advancing in the direction of the high mountains, regardless of the size of the tribes, they had to interrogate and investigate clearly.

In the end, the whole process was recorded in the book, brought back to the tribe and handed over to the Wood Witch, sometimes, some of the obscure information, they couldn't understand, but in the eyes of the Wood Witch, it became useful information, and it could not be missed.

Although the Wood Witch retreated into the background, the influence of the tribe was still the largest, and knowing the importance of this matter to him, no one would be the slightest dissatisfied, and even full of interest, proud to be able to contribute.

Two thousand blood warriors, one thousand flesh and bone warriors, riding a thousand war horses, a whole team of 3,000 people, fully armed, high-spirited, ready to go, followed by ten special warriors, launched a sweep of the jungle.

For the jungle, it is definitely a big turmoil, and for the tribes in the jungle, there is also a violent impact, some people surrender, some people resist, some people flee, some people shrink, for a time, there is blood and rain everywhere.
