Chapter 13: The Bread Tree

"Thank you for your generosity, a bread tree can be of great help to me. ”

Hearing that a bread tree seed could be obtained by answering a question correctly, Thunder smiled and thanked the friendly troll prophet.

"No, no, you're welcome, it's not easy to get seeds, and those weird bread trees always ask weird questions. The blue-skinned troll prophet had a slightly hot face, he had tried it at the beginning, but unfortunately, he didn't answer, the reason why he told Lei Ming the news was just to let Lei Ming try it, maybe he answered correctly?

"Anyway, thank you, without this news, I don't even have a chance to get seeds. ”

Lei Ming has the demeanor of a nobleman, he is eager to see what the rumored bread tree is like, he has only heard of the existence of the bread tree, it is said that the goddess of nature planted it when her followers are suffering from hunger, symbolizing food and a good life, the book records that the breadfruit on the bread tree is the most delicious bread in the world after baking, of course, Lei Ming does not want to miss it, and he is confident in his knowledge.

"I'll send you there. Hearing Thunder say this, the Troll Prophet felt a lot more comfortable, and he stood up, enthusiastically ready to lead Thunder.

Lei Ming thanked the Troll Prophet again for his enthusiasm, and walked out of the stone house side by side with the Troll Prophet, and the five green-skinned ordinary trolls lying outside stood up to greet the Troll Prophet, and then continued to lie down, the sun had come out, and a thin layer of white mist had dissipated, and the sun was warm on the body.

"Our tribe lives a relatively lazy life, and we only hunt for two hours a day at most, and today they are resting. ”

The troll prophet introduced the situation of his tribe to Lei Ming, and Lei Ming heard a lot of meanings from just one sentence, one is that these trolls are very powerful, and it is easy to hunt in the forest, because there is not a small amount of food needed to fill their stomachs, and the second is that there are not only these trolls in their tribe, and some have already gone out to hunt.

Of course, this may be that the Troll Prophet deliberately misled the information given by Thunder, but Thunder felt that his speculation was not wrong, because this information would naturally come to know over time as he settled in Bourbon Canyon.

The troll prophet's hand stretched out, and a gap opened in the stone wall that was originally tightly enclosed, like a door, and thunder's eyes flashed slightly, this troll prophet's strength was really strong, and this hand alone meant that he mastered the skill of rock mastery.

"Your mount is beautiful, and besides, our tribe also believes in the goddess of darkness. The Troll Prophet didn't look surprised when he saw the thundering stone horse.

A bright light flashed through Thunder's heart, yes, no wonder the troll prophet was so kind to him, and said so many things to him, even if he could speak troll language, it turned out that it was because they also believed in the goddess of darkness.

"Also, that one of your men is really not very good at hiding skills, if he can get another box of salt, I'd like to teach him the skill of shadow hiding. ”

Lei Ming found that these troll prophets seemed to be showing off their genes, originally he just thought that this troll prophet usually had little communication so he talked a lot, but now that he thinks about it, this troll prophet is quite face-loving, and he is really a good elder.

As he spoke, the troll prophet's thick palm rested on Lei Ming's shoulder, and then Lei Ming felt that the surrounding environment had changed, and he had already crashed into an enchantment, and he looked back to find the troll prophet, but he didn't see it.

"Actually came to this hand, it must be that no one communicated with him to suffocate, seeing me can't wait to show all his skills!" Lei Ming held back a smile in his heart and complained, this is a short-distance directional teleportation, that troll prophet still has the ability to master space, and he can be regarded as a powerful existence in the troll race.

"Key, key!" The barrier fluctuated, and a little bird with green fur and red beak flew out, spun around, and flew in front of Thunder, who was sitting on the ground, chirping the key.

"Ninety-nine-nine!" Lei Ming took advantage of this effort to look around, judging from his experience, this place was not far from the canyon, because he looked into the distance through the gap in the trees, and there was an obvious fault in his vision, which was caused by a depression, and the depression around this was the Bourbon Canyon.

Thunder reported the key, and the little bird flew back, and disappeared into the transparent barrier, this barrier is just a visual deception and the effect of space isolation, and it is not so remarkable, Thunder can even break through this barrier directly if he charges on a stone horse now.

"Come in, boy, are you ready to answer our question, and if you answer correctly, you'll get the seed of the legendary bread tree!"

A voice that was a little vicissitudes but clearly full of vitality sounded, and Thunder stood up and walked towards the enchantment, this time the enchantment did not isolate him from the outside, but let him walk through it like a ripple of water.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven**. Thunder swept quickly, and there were nine large trees of different appearances in front of him forming a half-arc, and they were also looking at Thunder.

These bread trees are not very tall, only about five or six meters high, and their canopy is not so wide, and besides, there is not a single breadfruit in the canopy!

"Oh, it's actually a Terran child, is the disappointment in your eyes that you want to taste the delicious breadfruit? As long as you answer the right questions, you can achieve your dreams. "Originally, it was just a bread tree with two squinting eyes growing on the trunk of a tree, but when it spoke, it showed a big mouth, and it looked strange to look at a tree talking there.

"Oh oh, no, it's my turn to ask this question, quick, guess which one of us is the oldest?"

The trees didn't stand up from their roots, they didn't stick out of their rattans or anything like that, they looked normal and normal, the only thing that was abnormal was that they had small squinting eyes and a big mouth when they spoke.

"I'm the oldest, do you see?

Before Thunder could answer, one of them had already rushed to speak, and Thunder looked over and compared it, and it turned out that it was indeed the crown of the tree that spoke, and it was indeed the largest of the nine.

"Don't listen to him, the biggest one is me, you see, I have the least leaves, because I'm old, the leaves are about to fall off, and his crown is so big because he is young, so the leaves don't start falling!"

Immediately, another voice retorted at a high speed, and thunder followed the prestige, but it was so.

"No, no, no, the leaves don't tell you anything, you just have to look at the thickness of the trunk and you will know who is the oldest, the older you are, the thicker the trunk will naturally be. ”

Another voice gave a different opinion, and Lei Ming glanced over, and not surprisingly, the trunk of the tree that spoke was indeed the thickest.

"Wrong, wrong, you can't count it like this, you have to look at the height, the higher you grow, the older you are. ”

"No, no, you have to look at our wrinkles, young people, you must know, the more wrinkles on the face, the older you are. ”

"Wait, wait, young man, don't be fooled by them, I'm the oldest, you just have to count the number of branches. ”

"Haha, young man, you must be confused, right? Actually, they are all lying, they are younger than me, so they are not as calm as me, I am the last to speak, so I am the oldest, you have to trust your instincts. ”

......

Lei Ming was really dumbfounded, before he could speak, these bread trees quarreled first, and each of them reasoned with facts, all of them seemed to be a little reasonable, however, Lei Ming still asked puzzledly: "Aren't you the same age?"

Silent. The nine bread trees that had been noisy, including a small bird standing on the canopy watching the bustle, all stared at the thunder in silence.

Lei Ming took a step back and explained, "I heard that the goddess of nature planted you back then, and produced delicious breadfruit, relieving her countless starving believers......"

Lei Ming said that his voice was getting quieter and quieter, because he noticed that the expressions on the faces of these originally comical looking bread trees had become hideous and vicious.

"Tell me, are you sent by the goddess of nature to track us!" the one who had asked who was the oldest tree leaned forward and almost came to the thunder, his two squinting eyes full of anger.

Thunder instantly understood, these bread trees seemed to be very unpleasant with the goddess of nature, and that the barrier was arranged to avoid the eyes and ears of the goddess of nature, and his erudition made these bread trees suspicious, they didn't believe that a young man like him would know their origins, so they suspected that Thunder was an eagle dog sent by the goddess of nature.

"Hmph, I believe in the great goddess of darkness!" said that, a large amount of dark fighting energy poured out of Lei Ming's body, he figured out the reason, and instantly took a stand.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw the dark fighting spirit on Lei Ming's body, the tense atmosphere eased slightly, but Lei Ming knew that he was still in danger, which could be seen from the constant exchange of eyes of these bread trees.

"Don't be careful, as the blood knight favored by the Goddess of Darkness, I have the mark of the Divine Blessing of Her Highness the Goddess! Once you kill me, Her Highness the Great Goddess will perceive it, I think, Her Highness the Goddess has so many hungry believers, I will be happy to see you, let's do it, maybe Her Highness the Goddess will be happy to resurrect me immediately, I will be happy to watch Her Highness the Goddess use the magic on you!"

Thunder provoked the nine bread trees with disdain, and the appearance of the swear made these bread trees a little uncertain, the reason why they hated and feared the goddess of nature was because they couldn't stand the pain of constantly giving birth to breadfruit, and there were more believers in the goddess of darkness than the goddess of nature, and the methods of the goddess of darkness were even more evil, if they fell into the hands of the goddess of darkness......

The bread tree, which had been bent to face the thunder, sat back on the ground in fright, and at the end it scared itself into a tremble.
