The Autumn Forest is an ancient and mysterious place. For the mountain people, it is a dangerous and forbidden place. They occasionally pass by and collect some food here, but they will never go deep into it.
Once upon a time, a playful child went into the forest and disappeared for a night. The tribesmen searched over and over again, and finally they found an old man with the same name as the child deep in the forest.
Therefore, when entering this mysterious road, the people of the Gaoshan tribe had an uneasy heart. But they had no choice. There were terrible evil spirits outside. They supported the injured warriors and stepped into this strange secret realm.
, I saw a small stream flowing through, and an old woman sitting by the stream washing clothes. She had pale hair, and she was obviously a member of the mountains.
When he saw this old man, the patriarch's eyes widened.
"It's you! Why are you here?"
He was shocked, as if he had seen something incredible.
The old woman sneered and said, "Why am I here? Then I ask you, why are you here?"
Hearing this, the clan leader frowned and said, "We are fighting against the evil tribe and were forced to evacuate here. We guard the mountains day and night. Why do you want to hide in a place like this? Don't you fight side by side with us?"
The old man glanced at him.
"Why would I do such a pointless thing?"
"It's meaningless? What are you talking about! This is the sacred mission of our Gaoshan tribe! As a God Summoner, you actually gave up your identity, abandoned your family and children, and hid in a place like this to live secretly. Is this your meaning?
"
The patriarch said angrily, even though he was weak due to injuries, his eyes were still bright.
The old woman didn't take his scolding to heart, she just sneered and said, "Without me living secretly, I'm afraid you would be companions of that evil spirit, wandering around the desolate land with your sacred mission."
What she said made the patriarch very uncomfortable. He stood up and turned around and said, "Let's go! It's not necessarily safe here."
"Father, but..."
Ling Tu looked at him worriedly. The clan leader's wound was very deep. Although the bleeding had temporarily stopped, he had too much blood and how long he could last.
"Your so-called sacred mission is just to guard an empty box with nothing in it. The sacred object is no longer there."
The old man continued.
"That's not because your daughter teamed up with outsiders to steal the holy relics! After getting to the bottom of it, this disaster was caused by your daughter!"
"She didn't do anything wrong. The fault is that no one believes in her and no one supports her! The other guardians have failed and darkness has reappeared in the world. Do you think we alone can keep the last seal? If that
If all of us had gone down the mountain with her, things wouldn't have turned out like this! And she wouldn't have died."
The old man lowered his head sadly, turned around and walked along the path.
The silent tribesmen lowered their heads silently until the old man cursed again: "What are you still doing? Why don't you come with me? Haven't you seen how the children are frozen?"
Lingtu looked at his father. The clan leader sighed and nodded silently, and then the clansmen followed him one after another.
Lilith was at the end. She didn't know what happened before, but she felt there was a strange feeling in this place. She looked back and found that the way in had long since disappeared.
…
At night, Rena walked alone in the forest. She came to the autumn forest and moved towards her body under the moonlight. From time to time, there were scary sounds in the forest, and shadows occasionally flashed in the forest behind her.
But she didn't care. She felt very tired at this time. She had been fighting all day, and she had cleared most of the evil spirits on the mountain, leaving only low-level evil spirits that did not pose a threat.
Soon, she saw the light of fire, which must be her own race.
For the Gaoshan people who were guarding the bonfire, Rena's appearance was so sudden. They heard someone coming from the grass, and the next second a figure stood up. They all knew who stopped the strongman for them.
The enemy is the young woman in front of him.
Reina, her name is like a hero in a story, word of mouth spread among her tribe, she came back and saved her tribe.
Her arrival caused a commotion, and the tribesmen in the house came out one after another. There were two houses here, one was a small stone house, which could not accommodate many people, and the old man lived in it. The other house was a wooden house, and it was very large.
, the style is also completely different. It is packed with people, the injured, children and some old people and women.
The two houses could not accommodate everyone, so most people set up simple tents outside.
The cheers attracted the attention of the people in the house, and it was Lingtu who ran into the house and told his father inside.
Lilith immediately walked out of the house, and when she saw Reina, she was relieved. She originally planned to go out to look for her, but the old man stopped her and asked her to stay in the house, even though she left on the pretext of going out for a walk.
, but found that he could not leave this forest, and would always come back no matter how he walked.
At that moment she knew that this was a magical space that was independent of the main world but connected to it. And the owner of this space was probably this old woman. So she could only pray silently, hoping that Reina would be able to do this.
Just like the old woman said.
She will definitely come, fate guides her.
Sure enough, she came.
After seeing Lilith, Rena's expression relaxed. Her clan members and Lilith had all arrived safely, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"The patriarch wants to see you."
However, just as the two were getting together, Ling Tu suddenly appeared in front of them and said to them with a straight face.
"Let's go in."
Lilith caressed Rena's head and said.
Reina nodded and followed Lilith's footsteps. She entered the warm stone room. She had been here before, once when she came and once when she left. When she saw the old man's face, she suddenly felt tears filling her eyes.
"Old woman!"
She threw herself into the other person's arms, and the old man hugged her tightly, touched her head tenderly, and said, "It'll be nice to come back, it'll be nice to come back."
The old man seemed to have changed. He was no longer as sarcastic as before.
"Let me take a good look at you."
She looked at Reina's face, her eyes were so gentle.
The injured patriarch on the side turned his face away dully, sulking without saying a word.
The old man looked at Reina with fascination, and Reina felt that she was not looking at herself, but someone else.
"Like, so similar."
She said dreamily, and Reina felt a little embarrassed. At this moment, the clan leader kept talking.
"You have a lot of time to get together, but now we have more urgent and important things. Now the mountains are infected by evil tribes, and we must try our best to get rid of these evil tribes."
