When Li Mu walked in, he saw more than a dozen tree people, surrounding Groot, constantly asking about the situation outside.
"It's funny. They are little tree people who were born in the past ten years. They don't know much about the outside world. Fortunately, there are no problems. Otherwise, our tree people family will really be wiped out."
Seeing Li Mu slowly walking in, Groot touched the tops of the little trees around him and said to Li Mu with a smile.
"Isn't that the same age as me?"
Li Mu didn't feel anything, but Tang Tang was different. He looked very interested in these little tree people who were only over one meter tall.
"The lifespan of our tree race is different from that of your human race. Teenagers among us tree races are just equivalent to the infants of your human race."
Groot looked at the little tree people around him and showed a happy smile.
"A teenager is equivalent to a toddler!? So how old are you now, Grandpa Tree Man?"
Tang Tangtang showed a shocked expression and asked curiously.
"Me? Haha, I'm over six hundred years old."
After learning that these little tree people were still intact, the sadness in Groot's heart was slightly diluted, and he even laughed out loud when Tang Tang teased them like this.
"More than six hundred years old...it's so long!"
Tang Tang started to count on his fingers, what kind of experience six hundred years has been like. He was only sixteen years old, and it felt like a long time had passed.
"Does Grandpa Treeman know about the new world?"
As he was thinking about it, Tang Tang suddenly had an idea flash in his mind. In his understanding, Groot must have known a lot of things since he has lived for so long!
"New World?" Gudong looked at Tang Tang with strange eyes, "Don't tell me that you are looking for the Hezhe tribe just to go to the New World, right?"
"Yes! Uncle and I agreed to go to the new world together!"
Tang Tang didn't pay attention to the ridicule in Gudong's words and grinned.
"That's just a scam. There is no such thing as a new world in this world!"
It seems that during this period of getting along, Gudong thought that Tang Tang was not a bad person, so he tried to dissuade Tang Tang from doing so, trying to get Tang Tang to give up this unrealistic idea.
"No, the new world must exist! Father said where we should meet!"
Naturally, Tang Tang would not be persuaded like this.
"Your father?"
"His father is the one you said made up a lie and deceived everyone, but it seems that is not the case."
Li Mu also spoke at the right time.
"So whose son are you? No wonder, I always feel familiar."
Groot looked at Tangtang and said with some sigh.
"Do you know his father?"
Li Mu couldn't help but ask, and at the same time he became even more curious about Tang Tang, a father who only existed in words. A man who had 'deceived' the whole world was not only praised by the bishop of the church.
Now it seems that even an old guy who has lived for more than six hundred years seems to be so impressed by him.
"This is natural. If it hadn't been for that person, our tree race wouldn't have been able to move here so easily and live in seclusion."
Groot seemed to be lost in memories.
"Tsk, Tang Tang, it seems your father is very powerful!"
Li Mu looked at Tang Tang.
"Of course, dad is the most powerful!"
Tang Tang looked proud.
"But it is said that he deceived everyone, but who knows what the truth is."
Groot seems to be very disdainful of the world's view of Tangtang's father.
"Grandpa Groot, do you mean that the new world really exists?"
Gudong looked at Groot in surprise, and there was a vague idea in his heart.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not just a scam like the rumors outside. That man wouldn't do that kind of thing!"
Groot shook his head. He didn't know how things would turn out in the end, but it certainly wouldn't be like the rumors.
"Really?"
Gudong muttered softly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Then do you know where the Hezhe tribe is in this forest?"
Li Mu asked.
"Hezhe tribe? Is it to point the compass? I'm not sure about this. I heard that they, like our tree tribe, didn't appear in front of the world more than ten years ago, but they are definitely in the central area.
I’m not sure about the place.”
Groot thought for a while and shook his head. Although the situations of the tree people and the Hezhe tribe were similar, they didn't have much overlap.
"Is it in this area?"
Li Mu stretched out a hand and created a map of the southern forest on it. One of the places had been circled.
"It's probably in this area. A few years ago, I heard visitors say that they had probably seen traces of the Hezhe tribe in this area."
Groot moved toward the circle and gestured again. Although he did not point out a specific location to Li Mu, it did help him narrow down the scope.
"Great! We will definitely find it this way!"
Tang Tang said happily.
"Thank you very much!"
Li Mu nodded and thanked Groot.
"These little things are nothing. Sir, he saved our tree race. Of course, I will tell you everything you want to know."
Groot said slowly.
"Speaking of which, the Blood God Sect is willing to attack you even at the risk of being hunted down by the whole world. Why exactly?"
Li Mu also took advantage of the situation and asked.
"Well..." Groot thought for a while and sent away all the little tree people surrounding him, leaving only the four of them here.
"This starts with Gudong's race, the Botis tribe!"
Groot said after glancing at Gudong.
"Rabbit clan? There are many like Gudong!"
Tang Tang asked curiously, a race of rabbits sounds very interesting.
"No!"
Gudong immediately retorted.
"Gudong had no choice but to become like this..."
Groot looked at the somewhat sentimental Gudong and said slowly.
"How to say?"
"The original target of the Blood God Cult was the Portis tribe. As far as I know, my old friend, Gudong's grandfather, the leader of the Portis tribe, has a secret method that can turn people into other species.
This change is not a change in form, but the essence will become the same as that of this species."
"No wonder Gudong said he was a prince!"
Tang Tang remembered that Gudong always called himself that, and it turned out to be true.
"Don't interrupt!"
Li Mu patted Tang Tang and signaled him to listen to the story quietly and not to interrupt others.
"oh!"
Tang Tang shrank his head and nodded to show that he understood.
