Chapter 258-267 Encountering the Black Beast (1)

"Is this the plant you're looking for?" Si Ye guessed from the expression on the girl's face that this must be the plant she wanted to find, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Yes, this is the plant I told you about. I've always wanted to find it." Xia Tiantian nodded and talked about this plant in China. "In my hometown, this plant is called bamboo. It represents the spirit of my hometown and is a cultural symbol."

This plant is given a profound meaning in China. It not only brings many conveniences in daily use, but also represents a very important spiritual significance.

"You mean, your hometown uses a plant to represent its spirit?" Si Ye turned his head away, somewhat confused.

He had seen many tribes that worshipped totems, but most of them were images that were similar to their own race, and the content was relatively simple. For example, their Snow Leopard Clan was martial.

However, this plant before us has no place to eat, nor is it as lush and leafy as some big trees, or bears many fruits. It is just a bare trunk standing there, and it is hollow in the middle. How could any race choose this plant as the cultural symbol of their tribe?

"This is a bit hard to understand, right?" Xia Tian also knew the habits of the tribes in this world in choosing totems, and knew that in their eyes, the knotty tree was indeed not suitable as a totem symbol.

"My hometown is different from all the tribes here." She cast her gaze on the treetops of the bamboo forest in the distance and spoke softly about what her family had told her when she was a child.

"Look, this plant has no branches, only one main trunk. This is integrity. It's segmented, strange, isn't it? This is rare in other plants. This is integrity, a kind of tenacious spirit. And its roots are very deep, no matter how strong the wind and rain are, it will not bend..."

The Chinese nation is the only race on earth that has experienced 5,000 years of historical inheritance without interruption.

Although it has experienced ups and downs in history, it has ultimately been able to stand firm and is widely respected around the world. What it relies on is this tenacious and humble spirit.

Si Ye listened to the girl's story quietly and was deeply touched.

He had never seen any race that worshipped an ethereal spirit.

In this world, the strong prey on the weak, and strength is respected. No matter how much you talk, the weak will be trampled underfoot, and foreigners will be excluded and discriminated against, and no one will sympathize with them.

No wonder he thought the girl was special.

This is not only reflected in their familiarity with many survival skills, unlike other pampered females, but also in their many thinking and behavior patterns.

It started from the very beginning when she risked her life to save him.

If she doesn't know what being an orc means, or if she is the type of person who is fearless, then it can be interpreted as ignorance is fearlessness.

But she was obviously very scared, but she insisted on doing it.

Moreover, she did not treat him coldly just because he was a half-orc. Instead, she treated him with great respect and understanding. She always took care of him in all aspects at that time and even used precious herbs to treat his illnesses.

No female, no one in the Beast World, could achieve what she did.

Kind, smart, tough, hardworking.
