On the way to the nursery, Li Qingyun saw several tree demons tens of meters tall, rushing towards the entangled tree demon children in panic. The dust was flying and their sharp screams could disturb half of the tribe.
After living for so long, this was the first time Li Qingyun saw a big tree that could run. The tree roots moved in the soil, arching up big bags of soil. What was even more amazing was that after the big tree demon passed by, the soil would actually return to flatness and become flat.
Will not leave any traces of potholes.
"Who the hell is this bastard who bullied my child! Stand up for me and I promise not to beat you to death!"
"Oh, my son, why are you so miserable? The branches have been tangled into a tangle. If you accidentally break your arms and legs, how can you let your mother live?"
"Whoever did this murder deserves to die. How can I bear it? They are still a bunch of children!"
Several large tree demons, tens of meters tall, huddled together, thunder and lightning flashed on the branches and leaves, and they tried to save their children. Unfortunately, their brains were not very good, and they almost got themselves entangled.
Only then did he remember that he was still in the form of a thunder plum tree, so he hurriedly transformed into a human form. A tall and thick-looking woman with disheveled hair squatted on the ground and helped a few pure-blooded tree demons to help them untie the tangled branches.
.
"Son, don't just keep crying. Before you tell your mother, who beat you like this?" Finally, a tree demon who understood the question came to the key point.
"It's Li Qingyun and Lei Jiupan. They are two half-demon bullying us pure-blood tree demons! Mom, you must help me take revenge and entangle the two of them together. It's best to tie them up. Oh, please be gentle.
This is a dead end, one of my thick branches is broken, it may be my future arm."
"I knew it was the two of them. They didn't learn well at a young age, didn't do serious tasks in the clan, and spent all their time cheating and fooling around. Sooner or later, they would be eaten by insect monsters, and they didn't even have a chance to turn into wood spirit ash! Son, you
Don’t worry, even if I search the entire mountain range today, I will catch them and break their branches.”
"They fled in the direction of the nursery."
"I got it, I'll chase you after you are freed! We can't do anything in the nursery, so I'll block the door and put my roots down at the door. I don't believe they won't get out."
"When it is untied, you call your father and block the entrance to the tribe. If they have escaped from the tribe, stop them outside the tribe and beat them severely!"
Li Qingyun met many tree demons along the way. Some demons looked down upon them, while others ridiculed them. Almost none of them said anything nice to them.
Even if they met the same half-demon, they would just look at each other and not speak.
Li Qingyun didn't know whether he was too bad at it before or the other party was too bad at it. Half-demon of the same race actually had no friendship? No communication?
Finally, I ran to the nursery. There was no written sign. A huge area was isolated with special thorn vines. There was a gate. There were two huge thunder plum trees at the door. The trees were covered with green fruits, and the fruits were illuminated with electric lights.
Brilliant.
These two tree demons have a long life and have already produced green thunder plums. They are the guardians of the nursery. They have lived for an unknown number of years. Even the clan leaders and elders are extremely respectful to them.
The branches and leaves of the giant tree at the door swayed twice, and an old voice warned: "You can enter the garden, but you cannot take root privately and rob the seedlings of their spiritual energy, otherwise I will throw you into the corpse pit in the back mountain!"
"No, we are just here to help and earn some food. We would never dare to take root in the nursery." Lei Zhuang replied nervously.
Li Qingyun didn't say anything. He looked at the two towering trees and found that their strength was unfathomable. They were much stronger than the clan leader and elders he saw yesterday. This is the foundation of a tribe.
Entering the nursery, I found that there were rows of pure-blood tree demon saplings planted here. They had no clear intelligence yet, and they only babbled incomprehensibly, just like human babies, and cried a few times from time to time. It was very lively.
The half-demon baby is planted in an inconspicuous corner, which is a bit desolate, and the sunlight is often blocked by the passing tree monsters. The half-demon baby is not calm, sometimes it turns into a baby crying and rolling around on the ground, sometimes it turns into a sapling taking root everywhere, making
Implantologists are extremely troubled.
As for human babies, most are taken care of by their parents. If their parents die or have important tasks, they will be taken to a nursery and cared for by dedicated personnel.
In the middle of the nursery, there is the towering thunder plum tree, which is the clan spirit of the entire tribe. The spiritual light emanating from it shines on the entire nursery.
It is said that the tree demons in the entire tribe are descendants of this thunder plum tree, and the humans in this tribe were just refugees from outside. For unknown reasons, they were protected by the tribe spirits, and then they stayed in the tribe and lived together.
Li Qingyun got the few memories from the former owner of his body and knew that the world was ruled by plant demons, humans were in a auxiliary position, and insect demons and beast demons were extremely ferocious and cruel, and were everyone's enemies.
Lei Zhuang's usual job is mainly responsible for burning the corpses of his tribe members, making wood ashes, and then delivering the wood ashes to the planters of the nursery, so he is very familiar with the people here.
"Lei Zhuang, there is no fighting or corpses in the clan today. Why did you come to the nursery? Huh? You brought Li Qingyun and Lei Jiupan with you? They usually look for elixirs and herbs outside, so what do you do in the nursery?
"An older human planter asked indifferently.
Planters are almost all humans, with occasional half-demon assistance. It's not that half-demon can't do a good job, but because of the rejection of the tribe, half-demon's status is low, and half-demon are not allowed to interfere with important work tasks.
"We...we..." Lei Zhuang was too honest and couldn't find a suitable reason.
Li Qingyun was anxious, and the reason came to him: "We are here to help, and we are volunteers for free. I heard that there is a shortage of planters in the Banyao District, and we want to do something for those poor children. Because we are the same kind, and we know that no one cares about the children.
How pitiful."
"Ah? Well, yes, I'm here to be a volunteer too, helping out for free." Lei Jiupan was a little helpless and thought about going out to find some elixirs and herbs to pay off his debts.
"Hmph, you can't have enough to eat, how can you be so kind?" The human planter didn't believe it, and said with indifference and doubt, "But there is indeed a shortage of manpower recently, so you should come to help first. If you behave well, you can take care of the lunch.
!”
"It's great to be in charge of the food." Lei Zhuang and Lei Jiupan cheered with joy.
Li Qingyun was a little confused. It turns out that half-demon can also eat, but why is there no memory of eating in the memory of the previous owner of the body? Well, maybe there are some, if chewing herbs is considered eating!
"Don't be happy so early. If I find out that you are taking root in the nursery and robbing babies of their spiritual energy, I will severely punish you." the planter warned.
"I understand. When I came in, I already received a warning from the guardian." Li Qingyun replied calmly.
"Okay, I'll take you there." The old planter nodded and led Li Qingyun and his party to the half-demon baby area.
This area was in a corner of the nursery, a bit desolate and remote. When Li Qingyun entered, he saw a young planter lying on a wicker chair and sleeping.
"Li Zhi, are you lazy again? Didn't you hear that these half-demon children were crying and their voices were hoarse? How could you sleep?" The old planter felt angry as if iron could not become steel.
"Oh, it's Uncle Li. These bastards were abandoned by their parents when they were born. It's a favor from the clan that they didn't starve to death. What's the use of crying more?" Li Zhi lazily opened his eyes,
He replied impatiently, and when he saw three half-demon following him, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Anger flashed across Lei Zhuang and Lei Jiupan's faces, they clenched their fists but did not dare to say anything.
Li Qingyun is not deeply touched by this, but he will have an inexplicable anger, which may be a side effect of possession, or it may be an alternative kind of reincarnation. As time goes by, the soul and the body are inseparable, and the memories interfere with each other.
He couldn't tell whether he was Li Qingyun in the earth space or Li Qingyun in the wood spirit space.
"Don't be affected by those outside comments. Half-demon has made a great contribution to our tribe. Every time we fight, half-demon always rushes to the front, and the casualty rate is very high."
"The half-demon rushed to the front. They were not forced. Do you think they were willing? Haha, okay, Uncle Li, let's not talk about this. By the way, why did you bring these three half-demon here?"
"Aren't you complaining to me all day long about the lack of manpower and that you can't handle the work by yourself? The three of them are willing to be volunteers and help for free. They can just take care of the meals at noon."
"Are they here to help? Take care of the food? Uncle Li, it's not like you don't know how much half-monsters can eat. It's too much to take care of them. Just give them some insect monster meat, but you can't give them the beast monster meat.
, that is food for us humans, they are rooted in the soil, and they will not be hungry if they absorb some wood ash."
"Stop blabbering, and I won't eat your food. Why are you so idle? I'll have enough for lunch, and I'm absolutely forbidden to take root here." After saying that, the old planter left.
As soon as the old planter left, he heard several high-voiced female dryads yelling and cursing at the door of the nursery.
"Li Qingyun, Lei Jiupan, you bastards and half-monsters, you beat my children, get out of here and apologize, you can't escape anywhere!"
"We are waiting for you at the gate of the nursery. I don't believe that you will hide in there all your life and never come out. If we weren't at a high level, the spiritual energy absorption range is too large, which affects the growth of the baby, and the guardian won't let you in, I would have gone in long ago.
I found you out!"
The voices of these female dryads were so loud that half the tribe could hear them, and naturally the nursery planters could also hear them.
Lei Zhuang and Lei Jiupan were a little at a loss and glanced at Li Zhi worriedly, fearing that they would be kicked out.
But Li Qingyun was very calm. He even beat up the Seven-leaf Demon's healer yesterday, so he was still afraid of a few tree demon shrews who were trying to protect him? After sleeping all night last night, his energy and spirit have been restored, and he can use the spirit sword again. The worst is possible.
Just a fight.
"Haha, it turns out that you beat someone's pure-blood tree demon child before you escaped to the nursery to take refuge? But those tree demon children really deserve to be beaten. Last time I passed by, they stoned me, and they couldn't beat me.
I can’t stop scolding them, it’s really frustrating, I took care of them before they became wise! A bunch of heartless dryads!”
Instead of driving away Li Qingyun and others, Li Zhi clapped his hands and applauded. His attitude changed drastically. Contrary to his previous indifference and disdain, Li Zhi began to introduce the basic situation of the nursery to Li Qingyun and others.
