Chapter 0378: Tree Clan (II)
"No, it won't. After listening to Kou Ning's words, Li Xiuyan immediately denied it. From the outside, the difference between orcs and humans is not very big, except for the thick hair, and the two canine fangs outside the lips, everything else is the same as humans, and it is impossible to be like a bee, so Kou Ning's guess is not correct.
"Then what the hell is going on with them? Look at them one by one, they are ugly, like wooden people. ”
Li Xiuyan didn't pay any attention to Kou Ning, but asked Xingcai to use the language of the orcs to see if he could ask anything from them.
But just as Xingcai was about to speak, her head suddenly hurt violently, and she rolled on the ground in pain, and no one knew what was going on.
Kou Ning looked at the painful Xingcai, frowned, and said, "Could it be just now...... Sequelae?"
No one has been able to answer his question yet, and Li Xiuyan doesn't know what's going on, so he immediately asks the soul for advice in his heart.
The soul asked Li Xiuyan to get closer to Xingcai, and Li Xiuyan immediately did so, but just when Li Xiuyan wanted to give her a pulse, Xingcai's headache suddenly disappeared again, and she really came and went in a hurry.
Seeing Xingcai, who had no, Li Xiuyan frowned suspiciously and asked, "What happened just now?"
Xingcai smiled slightly, "It's nothing, just remembering something I've forgotten." ”
"What have you forgotten?" Li Xiuyan and his little friends were all confused when they heard this. How can something that has been forgotten suddenly be remembered?
Xingcai knew what Li Xiuyan was wondering about, so he didn't immediately solve their doubts, but first thanked them sincerely.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Xiuyan couldn't stand being betrayed in front of him.
Xingcai smiled and signaled Li Xiuyan not to worry, glanced at those somewhat sluggish orcs, and beckoned to Li Xiuyan and the others, as if he was going to take them somewhere.
Kou Ning looked at Li Xiuyan with an inquiring look.
Li Xiuyan nodded and beckoned everyone to follow.
At this moment, Xingcai, both in expression and demeanor, has changed a lot compared to before, but Li Xiuyan does not feel any hostility towards her, which is why he is relieved to follow her.
Xingcai, who was walking in front, seemed to know this place very well, and with Li Xiuyan, they turned left and right, and finally came to the door of a very dilapidated temple house.
"What kind of place is this?" Li Xiuyan asked Xingcai.
Xingcai didn't look back, pushed open the wooden door that was already a little broken, and said lightly, "This is where I used to live. ”
Walking in with Xingcai, Li Xiuyan saw that there was a square stone platform in the center of Nuoda's courtyard, but like other things in the courtyard, it had long been weathered and dilapidated, and the entire courtyard looked like it exuded an old atmosphere, and it seemed that it had been abandoned for more than a hundred years.
"Hey, don't go around in circles, who the hell are you?"
Seeing that Xingcai had been facing away from them, not talking, and not doing anything, Kou Ning finally couldn't help it.
After hearing this, Xingcai slowly turned around, and at this moment she was already in tears.
Li Xiuyan didn't know why Xingcai was crying, so he took out a handkerchief from his arms and stepped forward to hand it to her.
"Thank you. Xingcai took the handkerchief handed over by Li Xiuyan, wiped away the tears on his face, and then turned around, looked at the courtyard and behind the stone platform, the towering tree that had been dead for an unknown amount of time, and slowly spoke......
However, Xingcai's narration surprised Li Xiuyan and others.
It turns out that Xingcai is not an ordinary human girl, she is now more than two hundred and seventy years old, she and the orc clan, are both tree people with a special physique, the reason why they are called tree tribe is because their average life expectancy is as long as a big tree.
As for the tree people other than her, why they became the current orcs is because of a guy called Void, that is, the king of the orcs who was tricked into the spatial crack by Li Xiuyan.
He was originally the son of the high priest of the tree clan, according to the clan rules, after the death of the high priest, he should have taken over the position of high priest and became the highest person in the tree clan, but the appearance of the holy woman made him lose patience and painstakingly planned a turmoil, killing the high priest and trying to seize the position of high priest.
But in the end, he failed and escaped from the Treants.
Because the original high priest was dead, the position of high priest fell to the young saint.
Subsequently, the Treants spent thirty years of peace.
But one day thirty years later, the escaped void made a comeback again, using some kind of spirit array to turn the boundary gate into a hell gate, and countless soul beasts swarmed out of the hell gate, causing heavy casualties to the people of the tree clan.
In order to protect the safety of her clansmen, the saint was tragically plotted, but fortunately she was rescued in the end and saved her life, but she also lost her memory.
As for the surviving Tree Clan, they were injected with a wisp of soul beast by secret techniques, and became half-human and half-beast, so that they finally evolved into a barbarian tribe in the eyes of the Han Empire.
"Wait a minute, you said you're over two hundred and seventy years old?" Kou Ning looked like I was fat, don't be stupid, and circled around Xingcai several times, and almost put his face on it.
But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell what Xingcai looked like a person in his two hundred and seventy years.
Xingcai smiled slightly, "We Tree Clansmen have a long lifespan, and we will always disguise ourselves in order not to be discovered by others. ”
As he spoke, Li Xiuyan saw Xingcai's body surface, gushing out with soul power, this soul power was very special, different from the soul power of him and Kou Ning or Ding Xiaorou.
Although there is no resemblance to Li Shuyao's soul power, the soul power of the two of them has one thing in common, that is, they are different.
With the gradual strengthening of the soul power of the star color body, the height and appearance of the star color have changed little by little......
In just a few breaths, Xingcai changed from a girl with fine skin and tender flesh to an old woman who was hunched over.
Kou Ning, who was closest to Xingcai, was directly frightened and sat on the ground, trembling his lips and said, "This and this, it's a lie......"
Xingcai didn't seem to like to see people like this, and slowly became a girl, and asked Li Xiuyan and the others with a smile, "Do you believe it now?"
Li Xiuyan nodded, "I believe it." ”
Whether Xingcai is a girl or an old woman has little to do with him, although he has experienced a lot of things, he has not forgotten the purpose of coming here.
"You are the saintess who took over the position of high priest, right?" Li Shuyao suddenly spoke.
Xingcai nodded, "That's right, I am." ”。
"That'...... Those people of yours?" The kind-hearted Li Shuyao naturally cares about different issues from Li Shuyao and Kou Ning.
Hearing Li Shuyao's question, Xingcai was stunned at first, and then sighed, "It's impossible to restore them to their original appearance......
