Tree people cannot walk upright, but they can escape into the earth.
There is a wide and deep passage underground, which is pitch black. The tree man uses the roots under his body, like an octopus, to adhere to the stone walls of the passage and slide.
The seemingly clumsy and huge body is actually very fast in the passage.
"This doesn't look like it was dug by you tree people, does it?" Su Yu's eyes were filled with light, and he glanced into the stone wall, which was full of traces of cutting by weapons.
"It's your human race that can help." The leader, Shuren, said without looking back.
Su Yu's eyes widened in thought: "The enslaved human race?"
The leader, the tree man, hummed: "Humble creatures like the human race have no value in slavery. It was done voluntarily by the great powers of the human race."
Voluntarily? Su Yu looked confused. It didn't mean that the creatures that entered the ancient and evil forest were unable to leave. How could there be a powerful human being to help them...
A name came to Su Yu's mind.
"It's Taoist Yaomu." Su Yu murmured. According to rumors, he is the only one who can freely enter and leave the ancient evil forest. Apart from this, there are no exceptions.
The leader of the tree people nodded: "Well, he received the gift of my tree god and volunteered to help open up a convenient passage for my tree people to move."
Tree god, who?
The leader of the tree people paused and said proudly: "Human race, if you can really help us tree people, the tree god will not treat you badly, and behave well in front of Yinmu."
——
After traveling hundreds of miles, a faint light suddenly appeared in the dark underground passage, and the front was like a blazing sun, bright and dazzling.
The exit has arrived.
Su Yu closed his eyes and felt a ray of warm sunshine falling on his cheeks. He slowly opened his eyes, and a sense of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The world of mist and mist is gone forever.
The sky is blue, the blue waves are vast, and tens of thousands of large and small bronze trees grow straight up.
The grass is long, orioles are flying, spring flowers are gorgeous, and all kinds of creatures are running around. Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant everywhere, and it is peaceful.
"Is it a paradise?" Su Yu murmured. No one had ever thought that inside the ancient and evil forest, which was known for being evil and dangerous, there was a beautiful world as bright as a pearl.
"The Holy Land has arrived, come with me." The leader's tree man's torso shone with bronze, and his tall body gradually shrank and gradually became a human form.
He has a stout physique, with wooden textures painted all over his body, and his facial features are like knives, reflecting the light of the wood.
Although the shape and appearance are similar to those of the human race, they are extremely different.
"Adult Bronze Treemen can transform into a god-man form, which can only last for one hour. There is no need to transform unless necessary." Bronze Treeman said.
God-man form? Su Yu was surprised, isn't this the human form?
As if he understood what Su Yu was thinking, the leader of the tree people hummed: "This is not the human form, it is the mentality of a god! The final evolved form of all living things is the form of a god. You humans are just born with the form of a god.
It's just similar, don't think that our noble tree people can change your appearance."
God-man form, the ultimate form of all things?
Su Yu felt that there were still too many unknowns in the world, the starry sky, all races, gods and men, these were all unknown mysteries.
Even the tree man in front of him was the first time Su Yu had seen it.
The leader of the tree people led them through the long forest. Along the way, there were countless bronze tree people, at least tens of thousands.
According to their cultivation level, the lowest level seven god lords and the highest level nine level god lords, once they break out of the ancient evil forest, are enough to wipe out the Dongtianfu area ten times.
Even in such a large Zhongzhou, it is difficult to stop the invasion of tree people.
Of course, the tree man's weakness lies in his body. He can only maintain his god-man form on the ground for an hour and is easily restrained by the human race.
Fairy Ling's wonderful eyes were filled with tremors: "With so many tree people, occupying a corner of the Kyushu continent and standing side by side with Kyushu, it is not difficult at all."
"Hey, there are so many tree people. It would be fun if they could be tamed..." Gongsun Wuxie rolled his eyes.
"Haha, your courage is commendable." A clear smile came suddenly.
Moreover, it is a human language.
At the end of the woods, there is a mirror lake, like a mirror, embedded in a green grassland.
By the lake, there was an old man in a green shirt sitting with his back to them, holding a fishing rod in his hand, fishing by the lake.
Gongsun Wuxie pouted: "Old man, you are pretending to be a ghost, I am not afraid of you."
Su Yu and Fairy Ling's eyes flickered, staring at the old man's back. Human race?
"Haha..." The old man put down the fishing rod and turned around with a smile.
When they turned around, they realized that the old man had silver-white skin and the whirling wood grain on his face. He was clearly from the Wood Clan.
"Do you understand the human language?" Su Yu said.
The silver-faced old man smiled and said: "There was once a human race who taught me something and I know a little bit about it."
"Lord Silverwood, they have been brought here," the leader of the Bronze Treemen said.
"Well, you go ahead. Two more humans have also broken in. They seem to have found a way directly to the fountain of life. Capture them." The silver-faced old man is exactly the silver wood mentioned by the leader of the bronze tree people.
grown ups.
He knows everything about the ancient and evil forest.
Yinmu looked at Su Yu and the other three, Fairy Ling swept past her, Gongsun Wuxie paused for a breath, and said with a smile: "Immortal grass, this little human race, is very lucky, accidentally swallowed this holy grass of the spiritual grass tribe,
You came here because you want to use the spring of life to wash away the medicinal power."
Fairy Ling calmly protected Gongsun Wuxie behind her, and was horrified in her heart. Yinmu could actually see through the details of Gongsun Wuxie's body at a glance.
All the old monsters will definitely not be able to do it.
"You have come to the wrong place. The Fountain of Life can decompose all things, but only the Wood Clan is difficult to decompose. The Lingcao Clan and the Tree Man Clan both belong to the Wood Clan, so they are difficult to decompose." Yinmu said patiently.
Useless? Fairy Ling and Gongsun Wuxie didn’t believe it and were unwilling to do so.
"If the Fountain of Life was useful, we wouldn't have allowed our clan's corpses to be invaded by evil spirits in the periphery, which have been unable to be expelled so far. We would have to ask you, the human race." Yinmu sighed, looked at Su Yu with his eyes, and revealed a ray of light: "You are
After Taoist Yaomu, you are the only being who is proficient in the writing of the ancient wood tribe. We have been waiting for you for a long time."
As Su Yu expected, Shuren needed help.
"Please tell me the whole story first." Su Yu said.
Yinmu nodded, waved his palm lightly, and countless tree roots shot out from the ground, entangled Fairy Ling and Gongsun Wuxie, and pulled them into the ground.
"Don't worry, young human race. I don't want anyone else to hear what I'm going to say next." Yinmu said, "They were just taken to a safe place. They will see you again later, and they will also give you some small things."
Gift."
Su Yu pinched Silk's fingers and loosened them slightly.
The silver wood in front of me is unfathomable, and based on intuition, it is no weaker than any one of the Five Golden Guards.
"The thing is like this. Thousands of years ago, the tree god was plotted against by an old friend. He escaped from the starry sky and accidentally fell on the Kyushu continent. He was seriously injured and was getting weaker day by day. Therefore, he was stuck here and could not move." Yinmu said.
Su Yu heard the name of the tree god again and said, "Who is the tree god?"
"Our God." Yinmu said, with an awe-inspiring expression.
"We Bronze Treemen all depend on the Tree God for our survival. Once upon a time, our Bronze Treemen clan flourished and grew stronger. At its peak, we had millions of Bronze Treemen. However, since we fell into the Nine Provinces, the Tree God fell into a deep sleep and lost him.
With the blessing of the tree god, we tree people seem to have lost our souls. A large number of tree people withered, withered, and gradually died. Moreover, without the tree god's purification, they were corroded by evil spirits and turned into evil man-eating evil trees."
"In the past few thousand years, the situation has become even more serious. Without the nourishment of the tree god, fewer and fewer new tree people are born. Now only one or two tree people seeds can be successfully conceived every year. If this continues, in less than a few hundred years, the number of new tree people will be reduced.
I too will die together."
Su Yu said: "So, you didn't sit still and wait for death."
Yinmu nodded: "Well, we had already thought of a solution at the beginning. The tree god's injury was due to the evil seal power. This seal was arranged with the ancient wood characters. It was attached to the tree man's body and sucked the tree god's spirit.
Yuan, this makes the tree god wither and wither day by day."
In this way, the so-called old friend who plotted against the Tree God was also a member of the Wood Tribe, and was proficient in ancient Wood Tribe writing that was unfamiliar to the Bronze Tree God.
"The seal is not afraid. The tree god has reliable purification ability and can easily break the seal. The problem is that many of the ancient characters that arrange the seal involve the lost ancient wood characters. The tree god cannot identify them one by one. If he can identify them all, he can crack them.
It will be much easier."
"So, we pinned our hopes on this wild Jiuzhou continent, hoping that one day a master would appear who could understand the ancient wood language. After waiting for five thousand years, a Yaomu Taoist appeared. Unfortunately, he could only decipher 20% of the ancient wood language.
Because the text has reached the end of its lifespan, he will die of old age. Although the tree people helped him cultivate to the realm of mortal immortals and allowed him to live an extra four thousand years, it is a pity that the human race's lifespan is too short and he will still die after all."
Yin Mu sighed and looked up at Su Yu, his eyes flashing with excitement: "I thought it would be over, and the Bronze Treeman would be buried in the wilderness, but we are waiting for you!"
"Even if you have not entered the ancient evil forest, I have decided to step out of the ancient evil forest myself and bring you in."
After understanding the whole story, Su Yu took a breath. It sounded like the tree god was an extremely terrifying existence.
Easily push a human race to the realm of immortals!
Come to think of it, the so-called kings of the nine states have all reached the realm of mortal beings.
"I may not be able to guarantee that after deciphering all the ancient Wood Clan texts, what I can guarantee is that I will do my best." Su Yu's eyes flashed and he said: "But, what guarantee can you give me?"
Their lives now are still in the hands of everyone in the Bronze Tree.
"We Bronze Treants are not a race that likes killing. We have no choice but to need the flesh and blood of living creatures to reproduce future generations. If you can decipher the seal on the tree god and let him recover, there will be no need to kill any more." Yin Mu stared.
Looking at Su Yu, he said: "Moreover, you can get a reward from the tree god. Think about it, the original Yaomu Taoist can only be regarded as a mediocre and strong man in your human race, but with the help of the tree god, he has reached the level of mortals."
In the fairy realm, if you can help the tree god more, the benefits you will get are unimaginable."
Su Yu needed benefits, but they were not necessary. What mattered was life.
"Okay, I hope you will do what you say." Su Yu said.
Yinmu smiled: "Follow me. Before meeting the tree god, I will take you to the place where Taoist Yaomu is enthroned. He left behind some ancient writings that may be useful to you."
