Facing such a skinny little boy who looked like he was about to starve to death, the fairy had no reason to take action.
Thinking that even if the plants inside were accidentally stepped on or scratched by her, they would not hurt her, so the fairy tried to communicate with him: "Are you a foreigner?"
The little boy did not reply to the fairy. He stared at the barbecue in her hand and kept making swallowing sounds.
Long-term malnutrition has caused his hearing to deteriorate a bit. At this moment, he just wants to eat, and there is no energy left in his body for him to consume.
Seeing that there was nothing but food in the little boy's dull green eyes, the fairy took out a piece of barbecue from Kurama's bracelet and handed it to him. She felt that it would be better to let him eat first before asking him properly.
Not too late.
The little boy, who was so numb that he had no thoughts, took the barbecue from the fairy's hand like a grab.
He devoured it on the spot regardless of the image.
Because the food was so ferocious, he choked quickly. But even so, he still stuffed it into his mouth until the veins on his forehead bulged, without slowing down his eating speed at all.
Seeing the little boy eating, the fairy was very moved. The plants in the underground world were really pitiful. There was no nutrients in the yellow soil, and there was no aura in the air.
Aren’t you about to ‘starve to death’!
·
As soon as the fairy handed out the food, the plants around her that were already "ready to move" pulled out their roots from the rough yellow mud. They transformed into human forms and moved towards her.
Looking at a group of vegetative people walking towards her with small steps, staggering, or crawling towards her crookedly, the fairy's expression suddenly froze.
She took a deep breath...
In fact, she thought of this scene the moment she gave the food.
However, she didn't expect how miserable these plants would be after they transformed!
Those with complete bodies are all skinny children, and at first glance, they are definitely no more than 4 years old. They are also extremely deformed, with either missing arms or legs, and some even lack human facial features.
As for the remaining adults who are physically disabled but mentally strong...
They were even worse. Not only were they dragging half of their vegetable bodies with them, they couldn't transform, but the parts that could transform were also rotten and bad. There was even a disabled vegetable man with one side of his body missing.
It's a miracle that this person survived!
Looking at this scene, even if the fairy's heart is as hard as iron, he cannot lift the butcher knife in his hand.
Besides, they didn't snatch it, they just stared at her with eager eyes...the half-eaten barbecue in their hands.
Sighing, the fairy decided to be a virgin: "I can give you food, but..."
Before he finished speaking, a group of skinny little matchsticks suddenly crowded towards the fairy. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the fairy, who did not want to see blood, suddenly raised the Dragon Soul Sword in his hand.
She said with a tigerish face: "I think you can understand what I'm saying, so if you don't want to die, just listen to what I have to say first."
The matchsticks immediately weakly lit the huge head that was extremely inconsistent with the figure.
They were actually very scared. The smell exuded by this human being was very "ferocious". She must have killed a lot of spiritual beasts. But they were too hungry. They had not eaten a few times since they became conscious.
The fairy stared coldly at the group of deformed and disabled 'vegetative people' around him, and said in a deep voice:
"First of all, I don't have much food on me. After I provide you with enough food this time, there will be no next time. Then, after you receive the food, don't make it public or tell other 'plants'. Finally, fill your stomach.
Afterwards, I have something to ask you." After a pause, the fairy emphasized: "Any 'plant' that participates in the answer will receive a food reward, so do you understand?"
"Understood." The matchsticks responded with a small, soft voice. They were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to speak.
With a serious expression, he distributed some of the barbecue and went out, then sat down on the Dragon Soul Sword.
She did not ask questions immediately, but glanced at the disabled 'vegetative people' who were devouring food around her.
In addition to their disabled bodies, most of them have very strange looks, not to mention their colorful hair, and their styles, you can refer to the unconventional ones that were once popular.
certainly,
In addition to having weird head shapes and hair colors, their clothes are also very distinctive. They should be woven from their own leaves, densely covering key parts, and some even have flowers.
After observing these vegetative people who were immersed in eating, the fairy returned to the subject: "Are you a foreign race?"
Although these matchsticks look very thin, only 3.4 years old, most of them speak fluently:
"We are the Fusang tribe!"
"Yes, we are the cubs of the Fusang tribe."
"Yeah~"
Various milky answers echoed softly on the loess earth, and the fairy quickly put her index finger in the center of her lips: "Shh, keep your voice down!" She didn't want to attract the attention of the giant tree.
This group of plant babies were very obedient and immediately shut up their chirping mouths.
After thinking for a while, the fairy pointed to the giant tree in the distance: "Who is that tree?"
The 'vegetative man', who was always paying attention to the movements of the fairies, looked in the direction of her finger.
Some of the cubs shook their heads, saying they didn't know who it was. Others, the older cubs, hesitated for a moment before replying: "That's our tree ancestor."
"Tree Ancestor?"
"Yeah." The little tree man who had finished the barbecue licked his fingers, and then replied in a small voice: "Our tree ancestor sleeps all year round, but it wakes up every few days and eats a lot of food."
This... fairy has a black question mark face. This group of little plants are so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs, and their ribs are visible. Their ancestors actually eat a lot of fish and meat every day???
If she guessed correctly, the hibiscus tree probably wouldn't like this harsh cold environment. It must have been sealed in the underground ice cave by the beast god.
So, where does the food come from when it can't move?
Is it possible?
The fairy's eyes fell on this group of malnourished and disabled children. Could it be that they had become so miserable because their tree ancestor had absorbed all the spiritual energy?
Of course, the fairy would not ask such a sensitive question. Since it was confirmed that their tree ancestor was sleeping, she felt free to ask the questions she wanted to know.
"How often do you tree ancestors usually wake up?"
"Two days?"
"Five days!"
"Three days."
"I think it's a day."
Fairy spirit:......
Finally, the half-year-old child gave the answer with certainty: "It depends on when our Lord Spirit Witch awakens the tree ancestor."
The fairy quickly asked: "Don't your witches have a fixed wake-up time?"
The little boy shook his head: "The warriors of our tribe cannot catch prey every time. Only when they make sacrifices can they awaken the tree ancestors."
The fairy was very curious: "There are no spiritual beasts in this snowy field. Where can we hunt?"
The little boy lowered his head: "I'm going to the sea."
Nautical miles?
Obviously, the sea is not a nice place, and the aquatic creatures in this world are more terrifying than the last.
Think about this group of soft vegetative people throwing themselves into the sea like fish bait. This should be a rare delicacy for the ferocious marine creatures, right?
Next, the fairy asked some other questions, such as:
What are your tree ancestor’s usual habits? Is his character good? If something unsightly breaks into this place, how does your tree ancestor deal with it?
This group of little plants all rushed to answer innocently, but the adult disabled person never said a word. However, they did not stop the little ones from asking questions and answering questions.
The fairy had been looking at these adults in a subtle way, and she found that there was no light in their eyes. To be precise, they looked like broken and numb corpses.
After asking indirect questions about the "daily life" of the Fuso Sacred Tree, Fairy tried to find some clues from these "terrible daily life". In the end, she was horrified to discover that this ancestor of the Fuso Tribe was not a good tree at all!
The beast god sealed it correctly!
I just don’t know how much strength this hibiscus tree that ‘will die at any time’ still has.
