Chapter 194: The Forest Demon Tribe
In the face of Elder Tham's pleading. Ji Dong couldn't help frowning, of course he didn't want to help these forest demons, but how could he help them?
Seeing Ji Dong groaning, Elder Tamu thought he was hesitating, and hurriedly continued: "Benefactor, as long as you are willing to stay, we are willing to exchange all the savings of the clan for your protection. No matter how much money or resources, we are willing to pay. ”
Ji shook his head and said, "Elder Tamu, it's not a matter of money. I have so much to attend to that I can't stay here to protect you all the time. I can understand how you want to hire strong people to protect you. However, this is not a long-term solution. Once you trust someone else, I am afraid that the end will be even more miserable. ”
Hearing Ji Dong's words, Elder Tamu couldn't help but bow his head gloomily, and said sadly: "Could it be that our Forest Demon Clan really wants to be wiped out here?"
At this moment, Blaze, who had not spoken before, suddenly said, "Elder Tham, for the safety of the clan, are you willing to migrate?"
Ji Dong was stunned. Said to Blaze, "Are you going to let them migrate to the center of the earth?"
Blaze shook her head. His eyes looked through the veil to Elder Tham, waiting for his answer.
Elder Tamu hesitated and said, "We Forest Demon Clan have always lived in the Forest of Life, this is our home, and it is also the place where the Goddess of Life favors us. If we leave our own homeland, I'm afraid it will ......"
Blaze sighed lightly, "Elder Tam, after entering this Forest of Life, I can feel the effect of your Forest Demon on this great forest. You don't have great power, but you have an innate gift for plants. With your own strength, you can better nurture all kinds of plants and help them thrive, which is why the Forest of Life is so lush and full of life. But have you ever wondered why you are facing such a crisis? The reason is simple, it is because you are too weak, you are only able to take care of the forest, but you do not have the power to protect the forest. What you need is not to hire strong men to protect you, but to be able to find strong allies who can really protect you. This ally should not be human, but Warcraft. To put it simply, if there are a large number of demonic beasts in this Forest of Life, can those chambers of commerce still send a large army to deal with you?"
"Warcraft?" Tam was stunned for a moment, "However, Warcraft are more ferocious than humans, they don't have human intelligence, and they will treat us as food." ”
Blaze shook her head. Said: "When you can reach a symbiotic condition with at least one group of demonic beasts, how can they harm you? Therefore, if you want the forest demon clan to continue to thrive, then you must change your home." Only in this way can there be a chance of survival. It's natural protection. ”
Ji Dong's eyes flashed, he had roughly captured the meaning of the flame, his mind was racing, and he said to the flame: "Are you talking about the Earth Spirit Mountain Range?"
Blaze smiled, "There are many powerful demonic beasts there. And, with your relationship, you will naturally be able to help them. If the forest demons are willing, I think we should do them a favor. Although they were leaving this Forest of Life, it wouldn't be long before they were able to transform the Earth Spirit Mountain Range into another Forest of Life. ”
Ji Dong nodded, what Blaze said was indeed a feasible way, with his relationship with the Cylfire Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, there should be no problem for these forest demons to survive in the Earth Spirit Mountain Range. As the strongest person in the Earth Spirit Mountain Range, who would dare to move the Forest Demon when she gave an order? What's more, if these Forest Demons went to the Earth Spirit Mountain Range to multiply and cultivate all kinds of plants, it would only be good for the demonic beasts there. In the case of Suzaku's deterrence and symbiosis of interests, it is very likely that the Forest Demon Clan will survive there safely.
Ji Dong turned to Elder Tham, "Elder, you have heard our advice as well. This is a one-and-done approach for the Forest Demon Clan. If you can trust me, I am willing to do you a favor and lead you to the Earth Spirit Mountains of the Middle-earth Empire. There are powerful Warcraft there, and I have a certain friendship with the King of Warcraft there, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem to arrange for you to be stationed there. ”
"This ......" Tamu hesitated, looked at Ji Dong and Blaze, his eyes flickered, he shook his head slightly, and said, "Two benefactors, this matter is very important, and it is not for me to decide." If you are willing, I will immediately request to convene a council of elders of the forest demons to discuss this matter. I know that the two benefactors are both thinking about our forest demon clan, but this matter involves the breeding place of our forest demon clan for thousands of years. What a stake!"
Ji Dong nodded and said, "We can understand the elder's feelings. In that case, we'll stay here for a few more days and wait for your news. ”
Tam nodded pretentiously, Ji Dong and Blaze's proposal was theoretically feasible. But this involves the life and death of the entire forest demon race, and he is also entangled in his heart. From time to time, he peeked at Ji Dong and Blaze, with a hesitant glint in his eyes.
Over the years, they have been persecuted by humans so badly that even if Ji Dong and Blaze had just saved their tribe, it would be impossible for him to fully trust these two outsiders.
Elder Tamu's gaze, Ji Dong naturally felt it, but he had no ghosts in his heart, so he was calm.
"Callum, you take two benefactors to rest in our tribe, Bynum, you and I go and call a meeting of the elders to discuss. ”
The two sturdy forest demons hurriedly agreed, and one of them led Ji Dong and Blaze towards the interior of the Forest of Life.
The two fire elemental bodies returned to Ji Dong's side at the same time, their bodies had already swelled again, and they were still absorbing the magic elements in the air. Ji Dong is their master, and their own breath is completely controlled by Ji Dong, so they can't leave a certain range of Ji Dong, and the closer they are to Ji Dong, the faster they absorb magic power.
The smell of blood in the air gradually faded, and when it entered the interior of the Forest of Life, all kinds of strange flowers and plants appeared in front of Ji Dong and Blaze. In this large dense forest, all kinds of plants grow in an orderly manner. All of them are leafy, which shows how good the forest demon is at taking care of the forest. Some fruits that can also be seen in the outside world are much larger here, and they are full of life breath that is not available outside. Without a doubt, this is the best place for wellness.
The forest demon Callum led the way in front, and after a short time, Ji Dong heard the sound of gurgling water in his ears, and between the mountains and forests, there was a small stream flowing through, the stream was clear, and there was no impurities. Even if you use your eyes to see. You can feel the sweetness of the flavor as well.
On both sides of the stream, the vines are surrounded by vines, which shade the sky and the sun, and only some subtle sunlight can fall to the ground through the branches and vines.
The moist and fresh air, with a strong botanical fragrance and breath of life, gives people an indescribable sense of pleasure.
Callum said very respectfully: "Two benefactors, this is where we live. We live on it. If the two benefactors don't dislike it, let's stay here first. ”
Ji Dong was a little surprised and said, "Is it a treehouse based on vines?" He had already seen that the trees here were very strange, the branches were not very high, but the branches were extremely dense.
"Two benefactors, please come with me. As he spoke, Callum had climbed up a large tree next to him. Ji Dong took Flame's hand and rose to his feet, burrowing directly into the canopy through the gap.
The canopy was more lush than the surrounding trees, and the interior was oval, made up entirely of arm-thick vines and thick branches, with only a few extremely small gaps visible except for the space where they had entered. Not only is the air in the treehouse fresher, but even the vitality is more intense than the outside.
The interior of the treehouse is very simple, with only a bed made of giant plantain leaves.
Callum made a gesture of please, "Two benefactors, please rest first, I'll go get some fruit for you to treat." ”
Ji Dong nodded to him slightly, "Thank you." ”
Callum said in fear: "Don't say that, don't say that, without a benefactor, maybe I am already a corpse now." As he spoke, he quickly retreated from the treehouse.
Blaze took off the hat on his head with some excitement, gently picked it on the treehouse, and said with a smile: "It's better to be outside the world! ”
At this time, she is like a curious girl who has seen a strange world, and how can she still have a little majesty of the ruler of the inner world.
Seeing the smile of the flames, it was the greatest satisfaction for Ji Dong, and he smiled slightly and said, "If you like it, we will stay here for a while longer." ”
Blaze took off his shoes, walked over to the thick plantain leaves, and lay down directly. With his hands behind his head, he looked at the end of the tree, "It's really comfortable here, the life of the forest demon is simple and simple, and it's similar to what I am in the Inner World." It's just that everything here is much richer than the inner world after all. After I come out with you, I don't want to go back to Inner Earth. The last time I was out into the world, I walked around on my own, and I saw a lot of superficial things and some of your human deceits. Now that you're around, it feels like a complete change. Everything you see, it seems, is so vivid and engaging. Ji Dong, thank you, I'm happy now. ”
Ji Dong smiled: "It should be that I thank you, I have never seen the world well, and now I finally have time and you are by my side, for me, this is like a fairy life." ”
Blaze shook her head slightly, "No, you're wrong. God's life may not be perfect, so what are you talking about?"
"Uh...... Immortal can be said to be another title of God. Ji Dong said helplessly. He couldn't tell Blaze that he was from another world.
After a short time, Callum had already climbed up with a small rattan basket on his back, put down the small basket, he first took out a plate-sized leaf from it and spread it in front of Ji Dong and Blaze, and then took out more than a dozen various fruits from the small basket and placed them on the leaves. The fruits were still carrying sparkling droplets, apparently just picked and washed before being delivered.
None of the more than ten fruits are the same, all kinds, some are crystal clear like rubies, some are milky oval like boiled eggs, and more are green and green, with intoxicating transparency, as clear and crystal clear as jade. It's like food, but it's more like a piece of treasure presented in front of the two of them.
The rich fragrance and rich breath of life are all refreshing, and Ji Dong couldn't help but say: "These are all masterpieces of nature!"
Callum smiled innocently, "Please taste it to the two benefactors." These are all specialties of our Forest of Life. Because it will rot the day after picking it off, it will rot without the protection of rich vitality, so it cannot be eaten outside the Forest of Life......" As soon as he said this, his gaze suddenly froze. Stared at the flames fixedly, his mouth wide open.
When he first climbed the tree house, his mind was focused on placing the fruits, but when he looked up, he saw the flame that had taken off his veil, his eyes were completely frozen, and he couldn't say a word, and the funny thing was that the pale blue tongue in his mouth was twitching all at once.
Ji Dong coughed slightly dissatisfied, although he could understand Callum's state of mind at this time, but the goddess in his heart was stared at so directly, he was still a little uncomfortable.
"Ahh There is no half-blasphemous, it is completely an appreciation of beauty from the heart.
Blaze smiled slightly, like a thousand flowers blooming, the tree house seemed to light up in her smile, her smile didn't matter, poof, two lines of nosebleeds rushed out of Callum's nose, fortunately, Ji Dong reacted quickly, pulled up a leaf to block the blood.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Callum hurriedly lowered his head, he really didn't dare to look at the flames anymore, turned around and crawled under the treehouse, who knew that his hands and feet were weak, and he fell down with a pop.
Fortunately, there was a lot of grass and trees under the treehouse, and Callum turned over and got up from the ground, still muttering: "Praise the goddess of life, praise the goddess of life, oh my God! What did I see......
Blaze caressed his face, looked at Ji Dong again, and said softly: "We must help these forest demons, they are really simple and cute, such a simple race that loves natural life, it should never be stopped." ”
