The giant tree is towering into the sky, and its crown is several miles wide, almost covering the entire mountain. In front of the giant tree is a small pool, crystal clear to the bottom.
In front of the tree trunk, which is a hundred feet in diameter, there is a stone platform. It can be seen that it was man-made, and it is easy to know that it is an altar built by the ancestors of the village.
Looking at the giant tree, Long Chen felt the powerful breath of life and the extremely majestic power of nature, as if this big tree contained the will of the entire nature, which was very shocking.
"Is this your forest god?" Long Chen asked.
"Yes, this is our tree god. Come with me to worship the tree god. He is your savior." After Xiaohua said this, she knelt down devoutly and started to worship.
Long Chen looked at the big tree. It was this big tree that saved him. If he was in a coma without a supply of elixirs, he would have exhausted his energy and died. It would be reasonable to worship his savior.
Just when Long Chen was about to bow down, a soft voice came, making people feel like a spring breeze.
"You don't have to be like this, I can't bear it."
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the altar. It was the figure of a woman. She was dressed in white and had black hair hanging down her waist. She looked like a fairy, but her appearance was blurry, making it hard to see.
clear.
"God of the Forest"
Xiaohua, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the woman in shock. She had heard the voice of the forest god before, but she had never seen it manifest.
Let alone her, no one in the entire village has seen the God of the Forest appear.
But as soon as Long Chen came, before he knelt down to worship, it manifested itself, and actually said that he couldn't bear it. Xiaohua was confused for a while, even gods couldn't bear Long Chen's bow?
Long Chen looked at the figure in front of him, and his heart was filled with horror. He knew that the figure in front of him was not a human body, but a soul thought.
That is something that can only be accomplished when the soul power is extremely powerful. Long Chen prides himself on his powerful soul power, but compared with the God of the Forest, it is like a small stream compared with the vast ocean. For the first time, he felt
own insignificance.
"Are you the God of the Forest?" Long Chen asked tentatively.
The woman smiled slightly and did not answer Long Chen. She glanced at Xiao Hua who was kneeling on the ground and said softly: "You can take a nap."
Xiaohua immediately fell on the ground, breathed evenly, and fell asleep.
Long Chen was shocked. What a powerful method. He didn't need to activate his soul power. Just a thought could hypnotize people.
Seeing Xiao Hua asleep, the woman said to Long Chen: "The conversation between us is not suitable for her to hear, so we have to let her sleep for a while.
I'm not a god, that's just what they call me. In fact, I don't belong to this world."
"Doesn't belong to this world?" Long Chen was shocked.
"I come from a distant spiritual world, which is still far away for you now, but I know that with your talent, it won't take long for you to know," the woman said.
The woman's words made Long Chen's heart tremble. He knew that this forest god was absolutely terrifying, but after she finished talking about the spiritual world, she kept silent, obviously not wanting to say too much.
The spiritual world is an unfamiliar term to Long Chen, but when he heard this word, he actually had a feeling of déjà vu. It was a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
Seeing that the woman refused to continue talking, Long Chen did not ask further questions, and said with a fist in his fist: "Long Chen will remember your life-saving grace deeply."
"Your Excellency, you are too polite. In fact, you don't need to thank me. You should thank the villagers. According to the agreement, no matter what needs they have, I need to meet them.
In the same way, I have paid and I need to get back my share of the rewards. This is an agreement, you don't need to thank me." The woman shook her head.
"I wonder if I can ask why you want to make a pact with ordinary people?" Long Chen asked.
This is a topic that Long Chen has been holding back in his mind for a long time. It is like an elephant making an agreement with a group of ants, and it is unreasonable.
The woman was silent for a while, and then said: "Because I need their help."
"Their help?" Long Chen wondered, how could such a terrifyingly powerful being need the help of a group of mortals.
"I said that I do not belong to this world. I was swept out by the space-time rift created during the war. I should have died.
Although I survived by luck, my body suffered severe injuries. After a long period of training, my body is gradually healing.
But if I want to return to my world, I need to perform a blood sacrifice and accumulate enough flesh and blood power to open a space channel and return to my original world.
You may be wondering why I don't hunt the creatures myself, but rather borrow their hands," the woman said.
Long Chen nodded. This was indeed what he didn't understand. This was simply taking off his pants, which was completely unnecessary.
"That's because we, the spiritual race, have our own restrictions. We are not allowed to kill lives for our own needs, so we cannot kill lives with our own hands."
"Why is that?"
"This is related to the secret method practiced by our spirit race. If we kill a creature and absorb the flesh and blood, the resentment of the creature will also be absorbed. It is an insoluble poison for us," the woman in white explained.
Although Long Chen was a little confused by the words of the woman in white, he could feel that the woman did not lie to him.
From the pure breath of life in her body, he seemed to realize something, and he finally understood why she cooperated with Xiaohua's ancestors.
"You are a strong man with unlimited potential. Your meridians were injured this time. I not only repaired your meridians, but also widened your meridians again. At the same time, I used my own original power to increase the toughness of your meridians, so you
The medical expenses are a bit more expensive," the woman in white said.
Long Chen was startled. After he woke up, he felt that his body seemed to have some changes, but he didn't notice any specific changes.
Now after the woman in white mentioned it, he hurriedly looked inside and couldn't help but feel ecstatic. His meridians had more than doubled in width.
The most important thing is that the meridians, which were originally like glass tubes, have become elastic leather tubes, so that the meridians can withstand greater impact of spiritual energy without bursting.
This is simply a huge surprise. If he were to fight against the Marquis of Ying now, his meridians would never be cracked. He would definitely be able to kill the Marquis of Ying at that time.
"Thank you so much," Long Chen said sincerely. Thinking of his anger when he heard about the sacrifice, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
I judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, and I took advantage of it this time, and my heart was full of gratitude to this woman.
The woman in white shook her head and said: "We in the Spirit Clan only keep our promises, so you don't need to thank me."
Long Chen smiled and said: "I want to ask a question, what if you cure me and I just slap my butt and leave?"
The woman in white moved her body as if she was laughing, shook her head and said: "You can't do that. Our spirit race is extremely sensitive to other people's thoughts. If you are an evil person, I will react immediately. I will never do it."
will save you.
In addition, even if you leave, someone will complete the task for you, but if you really leave, I will forgive the previous debt and the previous agreement will be invalid."
"Then you're at a disadvantage?" Long Chen said with a smile.
"That's right, but it doesn't matter. This is the code of our spirit clan. Every agreement is based on the premise that we pay first," said the woman in white.
"Like the ancestors in the village?" Long Chen suddenly remembered the story Xiaohua had told.
"Well, this is our habit"
This is a good habit, but if you were in a world like the Imperial Capital, you would definitely suffer a big loss, Long Chen sighed inwardly.
This is a kind of sincerity, a heart-to-heart agreement, which is more effective than a written signature. The most stable agreement is a spiritual agreement.
Unknowingly, Long Chen developed a deep respect for this woman in white from the spiritual world. This was an innocent heart that was not contaminated.
"By the way, how much monster flesh and blood do you need here?" After Long Chen finished speaking, he took out the body of the violent bear and threw it on the ground.
Suddenly, countless roots sprouted from the ground and penetrated into the body of the violent bear. In the short time it took to breathe, the violent bear was immediately sucked dry. Even its bones disappeared, leaving only some long hair.
After absorbing the body of the violent bear, Long Chen actually felt that the vitality of the giant tree was stronger, and the leaves seemed to be much more energetic.
"In order to heal you, I injured the origin. It takes ten first-level monsters and one second-level monster to restore the origin," the woman replied.
"Then you haven't earned anything?" Long Chen was a little surprised.
The woman in white said calmly: "As I said before, every agreement is based on the premise that our spirit race pays first."
"I understand, but I, Long Chen, don't like to owe others. I have received such a great favor from you this time, so I will remember it." Long Chen nodded.
Long Chen doesn't like to owe favors. Anyone who has helped him will be repaid tenfold. Just like Fatty Yu and others, they only supported some gold coins at first, but Long Chen always remembers this kindness.
Now that the meridians have been broadened, the benefits for future cultivation and combat skills are unimaginable. This is simply a huge favor.
After figuring out what happened to the Forest God, Long Chen gently woke up Xiao Hua, left the area of the Tree God, and returned to the village.
As soon as she returned to the village, Xiao Hua danced and showed everyone the wild boar she had hunted, and told everyone about how Long Chen easily killed the violent bear and how he had manifested the God of the Forest, which made everyone's eyes widen.
What shocked them the most was that the God of the Forest appeared. After hearing this, the whole village knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the God of the Forest from a distance.
Because of the agreement between Long Chen and the God of the Forest, the God of the Forest canceled the villagers' debts, and everyone had a feast of wild boar meat that night.
After being happy, Xiaohua began to show the space ring to everyone and distributed the weapons inside one by one, making the whole village fall into extreme excitement.
After dinner, Long Chen disappeared into the night alone. There was one thing he had to do.
