Chapter 43: Desolate
The two returned to Qingping's residence, and the little girl came out of the trunk, looking at the little girl's ability to escape, Li Yiheng had an idea in his heart, but he didn't tell Qing Wanjin, and he would wait until the best time to know if he could succeed.

"I will go to the Huo and Ying tribes with the little girl and Xiao Ji to find out the situation, and I don't know if the two tribes have really started a war, and you are following later", Li Yiheng put the crossbow machine on his back back back to Qingping's bedroom.
"This is reserved for Qingping's self-defense, you tell him that you must bring this crossbow machine. ”
"Okay, I'm here to oversee the manufacture of the crossbow machine, and I'll wait for your signal then. Qing Wanjin finished speaking and left.
After separating from Qing Wanjin, Li Yiheng took the little girl to the territory of the Huo people, this time Li Yiheng chose the edge area closer to the thorn net, because he heard Qing Wanjin say that the energy conversion container of the light seed is made of the dragon's blood tree, where the dragon's blood tree grows, Li Yiheng recalled the small grass swaying in the wind above the supreme sky, combined with the "magic staff" in Qingwanjin's hand that can convert the energy of the light seed, guessing that the branches and leaves of the dragon's blood tree can be used as an inducer, it is the light tree "mulberry ginseng" It also exerts the power of righteousness, which is a very important part of the complete eradication of Heluo Niu.
Xiao Ji carried Li Yiheng and the little girl through the bushes, Li Yiheng's eyes searched closely for the traces of the dragon's blood tree, the little girl looked at Li Yiheng from the beginning to the present without saying a word, just staring down, and asked: "What are you looking for? Maybe I can help you." ”
Li Yiheng raised his head, his eyes were very tired because he was always staring at the same forest scenery, "Dragon's Blood Tree, have you heard of it? It's the thing that Mr. Qing is holding in his hand", Li Yiheng thought about it and told the little girl, thinking that she had lived in this world for a long time, maybe she would have an impression.
"Dragon's Blood Tree, of course I know, not only do I know where it is, but I also know that there are only two trees growing in the entire Thorn Island, one is in the territory of the Huo people, but there is the ignorance of the Huo people, so they cut down the house, and the other is in the territory of the Qing people, but we are now in the opposite direction, we have to go back. The little girl replied in a loud voice.
"Xiao Ding, come back quickly", Li Yiheng regretted that he didn't ask the little girl earlier, and said: "You show me the way, I will be of great use to find it." ”
The little girl sat on Xiao Ji's neck and instructed Xiao Ji to fly towards a relatively dense forest that he had just passed, along the way Li Yiheng saw that many trees had begun to turn yellow and were about to die.
"This should be what the old man Chao said, while Luo Niu is gnawing on the trees, he is also absorbing the energy of the big banyan tree, am I right?" Li Yiheng asked the little girl.
But he didn't hear the little girl's reply for a long time, Li Yiheng looked up at her again, and found that the little girl's back was shaking uncontrollably, and the sound of sobbing could be heard, Li Yiheng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Did I say the wrong thing?"
The little girl wiped her tears and sobbed: "No, it's just that I think that these Heluo cows are constantly consuming grandpa's energy, grandpa is aging very quickly now, and he was as young as you when I first met him." ”
"No, didn't you have these thorns when you came here?" Li Yiheng was curious about how old the little girl in front of him was.
"No, it was very peaceful here, there was no war, and the people of the three tribes got along very harmoniously, until the Heluo herd invaded here from the dark night, which led to these scenes in the future," the little girl said, "Here we are, and there is the dragon's blood tree below." ”
Li Yi looked in the direction of the little girl's finger, and saw that below was a round bright red criss-crossing branch, there were no leaves on the branches, but it was covered with hills and ravine-shaped concaves, Xiao Ji flew down, detoured under the canopy, there was only a straight trunk below, about ten meters high, also bright red, and many of the ends of those branches were human claw-shaped, which looked very weird.
"This kind of weirdness, the statue of the temple is made of it?" Li Yiheng was very impressed by the statue he met in the temple, and the weird feeling that emanated from his whole body was the same as the dragon's blood tree in front of him.
"That's right, that's it", the little girl affirmed Li Yiheng's thoughts, "The dragon's blood tree was originally the same as other trees, but after being transformed by Tu Meng's witchcraft, it became bloodthirsty, so whenever it was soaked in blood, it would be resurrected. ”
Li Yiheng tried to cut a hole in the trunk of the tree with the umbrella blade, and what flowed out of it was red sap.
"What are you doing with these?" asked the little girl.
"Keep it secret, you'll know when the time comes, let's continue to set off. ”
After jumping onto Xiao Ji's back, Li Yiheng ordered Xiao Ji to speed up and march towards the Huo clan's territory.
"I don't know how the war between the Huo and Ying tribes is going, and it's hard to say whether there was really a war. Li Yi lay on Xiao Ji's back and said to the little girl sitting on Xiao Ji's neck.
Li Yiheng didn't know that the little girl hated these wars, and the old banyan tree did his best to protect the An Qun of these human races and resist the herd of Luo Niu, but this group of people still cared about fighting among themselves.
"It's not to blame those clansmen", Li Yiheng sensed the little girl's thoughts, "The old banyan tree never appeared, these people don't know that this old banyan tree is a trendy old man with thoughts, otherwise how could the three clans have their own gods to worship? And these gods are all different." ”
Thinking of the gods worshiped by these three clans, Li Yiheng would think of the resurrected statue, what kind of witchcraft can resurrect a pile of wood.
Xiao Ji didn't seem to be very interested in the action, and he didn't make a sound from beginning to end, which once made Li Yiheng think that Xiao Ji was resistant.
"Xiaoji, why don't you talk anymore? Didn't you always be idle before?"
There was still no sound, Li Yiheng was a little panicked, and shouted: "Xiao Ji!"
The little girl patted Xiao Jiao's neck with a smile and said, "Xiao Jiao is not unhappy, it is shy!"
"Shy?" Li Yiheng wondered, "What's so shy about this, is it because of the little girl?"
Sure enough, the little girl whispered against Xiao Xiao's neck: "Xiao Xiao, hurry up, we have an important task." ”
With the encouragement of the little girl, Xiao Yiheng's actions were also extremely agile, shuttling between the staggered branches, and several times he passed through the narrow gaps, which made Li Yiheng feel thrilling.
The three of them came to the border of the Huo tribe, and they were not in a hurry to enter, wandering outside to observe the situation inside.
Li Yiheng noticed that there was no trace of damage to the protective net on the border, and it was different from the last time he came, the last time Li Yiheng approached the protective net, he was discovered by the soldiers guarding it, and the defense was quite tight, but this time it was quiet, and there was no shadow of the guarding soldiers.
"Strange, all the guards here have gone?" Li Yiheng secretly wondered.
At this time, the little girl stretched out the two filaments behind her, but this time the tips of the filaments were swollen oval, like two antennas, clinging to the trunk of the tree, perhaps to probe the distribution of guards inside.
"Huh?" the little girl made a voice inadvertently, and Li Yi hurriedly asked the reason: "Is there a special situation?"
"The border seems to be unguarded, not a single person. The little girl said as she withdrew her filament.
"No matter, let's go straight in. As he spoke, Li Yiheng pulled out the umbrella blade, cut a big hole in the protective net, and drilled in.
Li Yi went straight through the protective net, and circled around, and sure enough, there was not a single guard, and the nearby guard room was also empty, and the things inside were arranged very neatly, not like they had been attacked.
"Could it be that even the border guards have been sent to fight?" Li Yiheng could only speculate, because there was no more important reason for a country to withdraw the border guards than a war.
The little girl followed behind Li Yiheng and continued to use her two filaments to probe the situation of the Qing tribe, but this time it took a long time, and then said to Li Yiheng: "There are very few people in the Huo city, but there is a lot of movement in the border of the Ying nationality, and it should be that all the troops of the Huo nationality have been invested in the battle against the Ying tribe." ”
Li Yiheng turned over and jumped on Xiao Ji's back, pulled the little girl by the way, and told Xiao Ji to fly towards the Ying clan quickly.
Xiao Ji flew over the palace of the Huo people, and Li Yiheng looked down from the air and saw that there were only a few people moving on the street, which was very different from the lively scene when Li Yiheng first came, and it looked dead and heavy, and no one paid attention to the behemoth flying in the air.
The original guards in front of the palace gate were also gone, and only two palace maids could be seen walking towards the palace gate.
"Presumably, the war in the territory of the Ying people is quite fierce, and the Huo people attack the Ying people with the strength of the whole country, if the Qing people come to occupy this place at this time, they don't need to make any effort at all, just announce that they have occupied this place. Li Yiheng muttered.
Xiao Ji followed the previous route from the Huo Clan to the Ying Clan, and continued to fly upward, faster.
After a short time, he also came to the border of the Ying clan, and similarly, there was not a single soldier guarding the border, so Li Yiheng entered the territory of Ying in such a grand manner.
