There are only a few memories left of human beings, such as Lu Li and the Oracle.
The Tree of Linna didn't mind telling Lu Li the secrets of their gods and ancestor spirits. It said that the ancestor spirits knew about Lu Li's arrival and that the identity of the guide was given by him. It also said that the ancestor spirits knew what Lu Li had in his pocket.
That weird seed.
The spirit of the ancestors is the common mother of all trees.
The sadness of the dead trees on the earth awakened him, but the ancestral spirits still lost their power, so they could only use the last resort to continue the bloodline, and sent down the oracle to let the Linna Tree and the others leave the impending destruction of Luo Lei Castle and establish a place of tranquility here.
Sen.
They become pioneers, establishing nurturing grounds under the direction of ancestral spirits, where children will be born.
The tree people Lu Li saw were born in the nurturing ground. They will grow into adults in three years, and then gradually transform into trees. Those with weak bloodline will become the guardians of the forest periphery, while those with strong bloodline will protect the tranquil forest.
But when talking about the birthplace, the Linna Tree stopped speaking slowly and lengthyly for some reason, and a trace of tangle appeared on its old face, as if it didn't want to follow the spirit of its ancestors and continue talking.
Lu Li was noncommittal.
The Linna Tree also said that the old pioneers from other gathering places in the forest heard about Lu Li's arrival and wanted to see him. It mentioned some names, but Lu Li didn't recognize them.
After thinking about it, Lu Li rejected it. He would leave the forest tomorrow morning and go to Storm Point to meet up with the convoy.
Perhaps it had been too long since she had communicated with people outside the forest. Linna's tree wanted to say more, but she couldn't say it awkwardly. It could only appear on the wall like a mural, staring at Lu Li.
There is no needle and thread to sew the big sister's head on the plant habitat. Fortunately, such tearing is not a problem for a puppet, as long as the black cotton inside is not exposed.
After filling some firewood into the fire, Lu Li lay down on the low bed made of tree roots, told his eldest sister to wake him up if something happened, and fell into a deep sleep.
On the wall of the tree house, the face of Lina's Tree has never disappeared, as if it is waiting for Lu Li to fall asleep.
The Forest of Tranquility is quieter than other places.
There was no noise coming from the streets outside the window, and no strange screams in the wilderness.
The night passed and the forest was filled with mist in the morning.
The fire was burning weakly, and the flame, darker than an oil lamp, was crumbling. At a certain moment, the flame died out, and a wisp of green smoke curled up.
Lu Li slowly woke up.
He saw young men and women peeking out of the treehouse, full of pure curiosity like children.
It’s hard to imagine that they are all less than three years old.
"Sister-in-law."
Lu Li couldn't find its figure. After the words fell, it sleepily rubbed its eyes under the twisted mask and climbed onto Lu Li's shoulder: "It's dawn..."
Lu Li sat up and startled away the young tree people who were peeking outside the tree house, but soon, a middle-aged woman who was about to turn into a tree walked into the tree house, holding a few fruits in her palms with branches intertwined like spider webs.
Some of the trees in the plant habitat are fruit trees, which are also food for the tree people.
In strange times, fruits are obviously rare foods.
Just don't think about where the fruit comes from.
"Lu Li, are you leaving..."
After eating the fruit, the face of the Lina Tree appeared on the wall.
After a while of communication, his words became much smoother.
"Um."
But we have to wait a little longer, the morning has just arrived, and the strange fog that fills the wilderness has not yet receded.
Linna's Tree once again asked about Lu Li's humanity. The plant habitat needs some help, and if Lu Li's aura becomes what it once was, it will be able to help them.
"I kill weirdos and they will recover."
Faced with the friendliness of the plant habitat, Lu Li revealed some information.
"You can kill the leader..." said the Linna Tree.
It sounded tempting, but Lu Li calmly rejected it: "That's your prey."
"We only need nutrients...it is no longer able to resist..."
This time Lu Li did not refuse.
It is difficult to measure the power of weirdness. It can only be compared horizontally through the abilities displayed.
The leader is strangely close to the evil spirit and kills the model's mother. Lu Li can gain more than five copies of the enhanced humanity.
Humanity improves Lu Li's resistance to pollution and the damage from the redemption fragment in his left hand, but he also has to bear the price of being human.
The old days were full of covetousness, let alone now.
The figure from the corner of the branch appeared, leading Lu Li back to the outside of the plant habitat where they entered yesterday.
Lu Li saw the model's mother tied up by branches dozens of meters deep in the forest.
Fallen trees stretched behind it, with thousands of branches piercing the model's mother, and earthworm-like strips of paper running through the model's mother's flesh.
It lowered its head, motionless, and seemed to be dead.
"It's not dead yet..." the eldest sister whispered.
Lu Li walked up to the model's mother and put his left hand on its forehead.
Chi
The body of the model mother suddenly trembled, and the branches snapped and snapped, but more branches stretched out and wrapped around her.
The model's mother, who was suppressed by the guards, trembled and rolled up her blood-stained eyes, staring at Lu Li full of hatred and resentment.
Suddenly, malicious words, like whispers, appeared in Lu Li's mind.
【Blood stained one】
[You are covered in blood, both your own and your enemies. The blood is flowing under your feet. It makes you fierce and fierce, and also makes you attract more covetous people. They are afraid of your blood and greedy for your blood. 】
[Your damage to weirdness is higher]
【Now, you are "equal"】
The model's mother gave Lu Li a cursed title when she was dying.
The description of the curse title is more obvious and more negative than [Lighthouse]. It is an out-and-out curse.
Because humans do little harm to the weird.
But to a certain extent, it applies to Lu Li.
He can hurt weirdos.
He himself was coveted by the weird.
After applying the curse, the model mother gave up struggling, and its breath gradually disappeared in the intermittent roars like laughter.
The next moment, Lu Li was involved in a flashback to the model's mother's death.
The little girl was sleeping soundly on the bed, and the echoing bells gradually disappeared.
The woman quietly put down the half-woven basket and came to the bedside.
Lu Li stood aside and watched quietly.
They are real mother and daughter.
The little girl disappeared from the bed, and the woman shed tears.
Lu Li tilted his head slightly at this time.
The little girl who disappeared stood beside him and gently held his hand.
Lu Li did not resist, and allowed the little girl to raise her palms, stand on tiptoes, and cover the grieving woman's mouth to stop the call that came later.
In the dimly lit cabin filled with sadness, the little girl holding her palms seemed to be hugging her mother.
…
Lu Li opened his eyes.
The resentment in the model's mother's scarlet pupils gradually faded away, and tears as big as fruits welled up in her eyes.
Its body collapsed and melted like soft mud, its fluorescent flesh and blood illuminated the entire dark green forest, and the surrounding trees grew vigorously.
"sorry……"
The sad whispers dispersed among the trees.
I don't know if it's an apology for the child he failed to protect, or the hatred he inflicted on Lu Li.
