Chapter 229: Companions
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
The fox lowered its head in fear and closed its mouth and did not speak.
After a while, the Great Witch said in a deep voice: "That's right, the reason why the patriarch is like this is because he was attacked. ”
The three of them waited for a while, and when they saw that Da Wu didn't mean to continue to explain, they didn't dare to ask any more.
Ye Xi wasn't interested in why the Treant Clan Patriarch had become like this, and just asked respectfully, "Great Witch, since it's a supreme treasure, what if that Treant Clan isn't willing to give it to us?"
The other two fighters also pricked up their ears.
Ye Xi's question is to the point, if they have gone through a lot of hardships to find the tree human race, but they are unwilling to give them things, then wouldn't they run for nothing?
Dawu paused, and his tone softened a lot: "Don't worry, as long as you still have the Tree Spirit Stone with you at that time, they will definitely give you the Origin Crystal." ”
Da Wu's words could be believed, and the three of them were relieved after hearing it. In this way, the difficulty of the original task is about the same.
Ye Xi asked again: "Respected Great Witch, the world outside is vast, I wonder if you have any clues about that tree human race?"
What if the Treant Clan is all dead? What if the Origin Crystal is also robbed by other big tribes or powerful beasts?
"Well, I'll tell you that even if you don't ask. The Great Witch said slowly, "I have used special means of divination, and I have concluded that they are in the southeast direction, about tens of thousands of kilometers away from here. ”
After speaking, Dawu turned around and took a stone box from the stone platform behind him, opened the stone box and took out three rolls of parchment, and divided them among the three people one by one.
"This is the map of the southeast direction beyond the Nu River that our Treants have painstakingly collected over the years, although it is only 20,000 kilometers, it can also help you avoid many dangerous places on the way. ”
In this primitive society where transportation information is not developed, such a map is so precious.
The three of them took it carefully with both hands, and wiped their hands repeatedly at the corners of their clothes before cherishing the parchment roll and looking through it. They looked at it for a while, and then asked the Great Witch some questions about the parchment scroll.
Da Wu patiently answered one by one.
Later, seeing that Ye Xi didn't ask any more questions, Da Wu said encouragingly: "There are other questions that can also be asked together." ”
Mi cautiously asked, "May I ask the Great Witch, what if we find your kindred very late and get the Origin Crystal back very late?" Will it delay saving the patriarch of your tribe?"
The Great Witch shook his head and said gently: "It doesn't matter, no matter how long it takes, as long as you get it back." ”
Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but glance at the Treant Clan Patriarch who was lying on the stone bed...... Can he last a long time like this? But the three of them didn't dare to question Da Wu, anyway, since Da Wu said so, he wouldn't be reckless, and when the time came, he could just take the Hair Origin Crystal to exchange for a promise.
The Great Witch waited for a while, and seeing that the three of them had no other problems, he sat back to the stone platform slowly with a bone staff, and said to them in a deep voice: "Regarding the matter of our Treant Clan Patriarch and the Origin Crystal, I hope you will not disclose it to the chiefs of your tribe and people other than Wu, this matter will be kept secret for the time being." ”
"Yes!" the three replied respectfully.
Dawu nodded slowly: "Okay, you can retreat, and come back in a month." ”
The three of them saluted respectfully with the parchment rolls, and were about to retreat.
"Wait ......," there was a dry sound on the stone bed.
The three of them paused, subconsciously glanced at Da Wu, and saw that Da Wu bowed his head slightly before walking towards the stone bed, stepping into the blazing pillar of light, half-squatting next to the stone bed, and looking down at the patriarch of the tree people.
Above the stone bed, bits of golden dust fluttered in the pillars of light, and then slowly sprinkled onto the treant patriarch.
The scene is serene and serene, reminiscent of dusk and sunset.
While they were talking to the Great Witch, the patriarch of the tree had been listening quietly to their conversation with his eyes slightly open, and he didn't know what was going on when he suddenly stopped them at this moment.
The three of them watched him quietly, waiting for him to speak. But he saw that the patriarch of the Treant clan raised his hand with difficulty, looked at them and said in a dry voice:
"Road...... On the road...... Small...... Heart. ”
When the three of them saw the appearance of the patriarch of the Treant Clan, they were both shocked and pitiful, and nodded one after another.
"Ping...... Quiet...... Come back......" Somehow, the Treant Patriarch turned his gaze to the side, and then closed his eyes as if he was tired.
Ye Xi sighed in his heart. It turned out that the Treant Patriarch had called them so hard to keep them safe. I don't know how many thousands of miles away this trip is, and I don't know how many difficulties I will encounter on the road, is he worried about them?
He had always heard from the people of the Peel tribe that the Treants were a race that had no quarrel with the world, and that the Treant Patriarch was particularly kind, and it was said that he had begged his own witch to save many children from the outside. It's a pity that such a kind Inhuman is now being attacked and about to turn into a tree, and when it is completed like this, he can't even maintain his human form.
Let's hope they can really find the Origin Crystal to save him!" Ye Xi sighed and walked out of the stone house with the other two warriors.
After walking a few hundred meters out of the stone house, the three stopped and looked at each other.
The fox said to Ye Xi: "After crossing the Nu River, Mihui and I will go in two ways, what are your plans?"
Ye Xi said without hesitation: "I will also go all the way alone, so that we will have a greater chance of success." ”
This was the expected answer, and the fox nodded and said, "Okay, I wish us success." ”
The warriors of the Ganqi tribe rode up on the ligers, and the ligers of the Mi and the Den stopped and crouched down beside them. The fox patted his war pet's head and said to Ye Xi: "See you in a month!"
"See you in a month. Ye Xi also said with a smile.
Wo Racer and Mi rolled over and rode on their own liger. The other warriors of Gan Qi also waved at Ye Xi, and then drove the lion tiger beast group to run out.
The torch didn't leave, he stood high above the head of the barbarian lion and tiger beast, looked at Ye Xi condescendingly, as he was when he first saw him, and threw down a sentence: "Ye Xi, let's fight again in a month!" This drove the barbarian lion and tiger beast to chase after the clansmen.
Ye Xi, who was pounced on with a gray face, smiled helplessly and walked outside.
There were still many warriors from the tribe who stayed in the clearing, and after they saw Ye Xi, they came over to greet them warmly.
Yi Kuang and they came over and asked Ye Xi: "Ye Xi, how are you going to go then, are you with the people who are close to you?"
"No, we're going to go our separate ways. ”
Blackthorn and Crack looked at each other, paused, and suddenly said, "How about adding one more to me?" I'll go with you. ”
Ye Xi was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Uncle Blackthorn, don't be joking." It's dangerous outside, and you may never come back after you go. ”
Thinking of the dense danger area marked on the parchment roll given by Da Wu, Ye Xi shuddered a little. This is only a map of 20,000 kilometers beyond the Nu River, so how many areas will there be in the outer areas that they can't tread?
Blackthorn said urgently: "I'm not kidding, I mean seriously. I've always wanted to go outside, but I never had the chance. Now you're going outside, so it's safer for us to have a companion. ”
Ye Xi looked at Blackthorn's serious appearance, and knew that he really thought so. There are always a small number of people in this world, who do not consider the danger and do not care about the gains and losses, and are eager to take risks and see a wider place.
Seeing that Ye Xi hadn't spoken, Black Thorn became even more anxious: "Don't dislike me, I'm also a third-level warrior, so I won't hold you back too much." Take me without losing one!"
Ye Xi smiled: "Uncle Blackthorn, you are willing to go, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I dislike it." ”
There are many dangerous places outside, and it is difficult to stand alone, so there is a companion to go with you, and you can take care of each other, at least someone can take turns during the night.
At this moment, a slender Falcon warrior with a peregrine falcon on his shoulder came up and interjected, "I heard your conversation...... How about adding me another one?"
Blackthorn looked at him with surprise and delight: "Uighur, do you want to go too?"
The Uighur warrior smiled and said, "Don't you know me, Brother Blackthorn? I've wanted to go outside for a long time, just like you. This time I just have the opportunity, and I don't have to go outside to hang out?"
As soon as Ye Xi saw them like this, he knew that the other party was an old acquaintance. For Blackthorn's friend, Ye Xi is of course trustworthy.
"Okay, if you're not afraid of danger, let's join in!"
