The turbulent humanity surges into the body like fireflies.
Lu Li felt his growing humanity.
Eleven copies, restored to half of what it was when humanity was at its most human.
Facing the strange era, Lu Li gained the power to resist the strange times, at the cost of becoming more delicious and the [Bloodstained One].
When the fireflies in the dark jungle become torches, they illuminate the surroundings and attract more peeps.
The branches of the surrounding trees quietly approached Lu Li. They were attracted by Lu Li's human aura and wrapped around him.
Approaching is not a good intention.
"Guide..."
The twighorn tree man felt the change in Lu Li's aura and bowed, ordering the guards to retreat and stay away.
Sniff--
Overheard sounds came from the hood, but the eldest sister didn't say anything.
Following the Twighorn Treants back to the Forest of Tranquility gathering place, Linna's Tree gently swayed its crown with joy as Lu Li's aura recovered: "It's almost the same as then..."
Nostalgia is not a human specialty.
After being happy, Linna's Tree regretted that it could not restore Lu Li to more of his humanity. There were very few monsters near the plant habitat, and the tree people never left their homes voluntarily.
Lu Li can't help them now, and Lina's Tree said that there will be at least five or six more.
"What do you want my help with?" Lu Li asked.
Linna Tree replied that she could not tell Lu Li yet, as he could not bear the terrible consequences of hearing the content yet.
After thinking for a while, Lu Li told it about the cursed title [Bloodstained One]: "Can the cursed title be erased?"
"That is a power that lasts as long as time...cannot be erased..." Lina's Tree told Lu Li, but it could help him in other ways.
The old face closed his eyes, and the sound of prayer gradually sounded around him. Lu Li looked around and saw that both the tree people and the residents gathered in the area were standing there, praying with their eyes closed.
Dots of fluorescent light suddenly appeared around Lu Li, lingering like fireflies and immersing themselves in his body.
An obscure content that resembled words appeared in Lu Li's mind.
【Tree Whisperer】
[They are like the ocean witnessing the rise and fall of all things, they are like rocks standing on the earth, they benefit all things, they are everywhere. You like them, you care about them - and so do they]
【Every tree has a crush on you】
【——They are your good friends】
The plant habitat also gave Lu Li the title of Curse.
Maybe the curse should be removed, because its side effects are almost impossible to find: with it, Lu Li will hardly suffer from the strange attacks of trees.
If there are other trees outside the plant's habitat that are weird.
For example, there are dead trees left behind in the old sewer swamp branches.
"Thank you." Lu Li said.
"This is a gift from the ancestors' spirits... I hope it can help you..."
The mist that filled the forest gradually disappeared, and the strange fog outside finally receded.
It's time for Lu Li to leave.
"The guardian is waiting for you at the edge of the habitat... It will escort you to the Storm Cape..." Lina's tree swayed its branches. "Remember to come and see us... We will prepare the prey..."
"I will."
Lu Li said that after finding Anna.
During the farewell of the Linna Tree, Lu Li followed the Branchhorn Treant to leave the Forest of Tranquility.
Because of the [Tree Whisperer], the lifeless forest suddenly became lively and noisy, and Lu Li could sense their presence and their breathing.
The trees expressed kindness to Lu Li. They lowered their branches and touched Lu Li gently. Their roots moved away the thick fallen leaves and cleared a path.
Reach the edge of the habitat, where the guardian is waiting.
The Guardian is taller than the Tree of Lina, and even the most majestic city walls in human history cannot reach its chest.
Only this kind of giant being close to the boss can walk in the weird and raging wilderness.
It squatted down slowly, opened its huge palm like a small house, and spread it out with the sound of the wood swinging and creaking, letting Lu Li step onto the palm.
"Guide... have a smooth journey..."
The taciturn tree man bowed to say goodbye.
The guardian stood up, supported Lu Li, turned his back to the mountains on the back of the world, and walked towards the edge of the wilderness with steps that made the earth tremble.
…
Lu Li sat down in the palm of the guardian's hand. The wandering wind in the wilderness blew the corners of his black hair and clothes. He calmly looked at the end of the horizon, as if he could see the edge of the land and the constant tide day and night.
Lu Li recalled his experience in the plant habitat.
The appearance of acquaintances solved a lot of troubles and brought a lot of help, such as restoring humanity and escorting.
It's a pity that they can't leave their habitat freely, otherwise it would not be difficult for Lu Li to go to the Main Continent.
Think back to the scenes seen in the two death flashbacks. Was it the Time of Silence that killed them?
Why do people killed by Hour of Silence become weird?
Lu Li reached into his pocket and gently rubbed the straw doll, and Lu Li fell into thought.
The eldest sister's head was lying in the hood behind her. She hadn't spoken for a long time and was not in the right state.
Lu Li usually ignores these things, but suddenly he remembered what Catalina once said, "You should try to change yourself." After thinking for a while, Lu Li said: "What's wrong with you."
The frustrated eldest sister whispered: "Will you kill me...just like you killed the leader..."
"Won't."
"real?"
"real."
The eldest sister's head became excited again, rolling around in her hood as lively as a cat.
Lu Li asked it about the specific changes in its body, and the elder sister's answer was that it was more "delicious" and "liked" it more.
Fortunately, the increase in humanity will not make Lu Li's "smell" stronger. The weirdos cannot detect Lu Li from far away due to his humanity for the time being, except for those with keen senses.
This avoids the scary situation of weird swarms happening.
But when something weird appears around Lu Li, they obviously won't let go of the delicious food.
In the distance, a dilapidated village appears protruding from the earth.
It was getting closer and closer, and the guardian had no intention of avoiding it.
"Can we go around there?" Lu Li asked the guardian.
"The village is not in danger." The buzzing and trembling words came from above the head.
The guardian found nothing, and its judgment could not be wrong.
Maybe.
The village is getting closer and closer, and this abandoned village from the old days seems to have been abandoned for a long time.
But after improving his humanity, Lu Li, who has a keener sense, noticed the evil intentions in the village.
But the stubborn and slow guardian has entered the village.
Lu Li looked down and answered. More and more greedy eyes lit up behind the holes in the windows of the houses on the roadside.
This is a strange lair-like gathering place.
Although they were greedy for Lu Li's aura, they gathered around the guardian's terrifying aura, and they did not rush out of the house until the guardian left the village in shock.
The village is indeed in no danger.
If there was only Lu Li, the situation might be completely different.
No weird shadows appeared on the road that followed. Weak monsters did not dare to approach, and the truly dangerous areas were avoided by the guardians.
The dry air gradually became humid, and as afternoon approached, Lu Li saw the end of the horizon and a cluster of stone pillars standing on the coast.
