Brother with the mountaineering bag: “?”

"ah?"

The eldest brother looked at Qiao Bai with a shocked and confused expression, his eyes full of innocence, as if Qiao Bai was so unreasonable.

Qiao Bai just looked at him quietly.

Brother with the mountaineering bag: “…”

After staring at each other for a long while, the man with the mountaineering bag, who had a silly expression on his face just now, suddenly changed his expression, and the look he gave Qiao Bai was as cold as a knife mixed with poison.

"How did you know that?" The brother with the mountaineering bag, who had always been a cheerful person, became gloomy and cold in voice.

Qiao Bai's eyes, which had been firmly fixed on the man with the mountaineering bag, wavered at this moment.

Mountaineering bag brother: "Speak!"

"Well... I was just guessing and kidding you." Qiao Bai looked at the sky, the earth, and the void, blinked his eyes, and was determined not to meet the eyes of the man with the mountaineering bag.

It’s not that Qiao Bai had nothing to do and did this.

It was discovered that there was a problem in Wanmu City.

Then he walked with someone who looked suspicious.

Naturally, Qiao Bai subconsciously felt uneasy about this person. After seeing the huge "Jianmu", Qiao Bai tried to tell a lie casually, but he was actually still quite unsure.

But who would have thought...

Cough cough.

If you don't cheat, you won't know.

He actually stepped on the mine and it exploded.

Brother with the mountaineering bag: “…”

“…”

silence.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Mountaineering bag big brother emo.

My brother doesn't want to talk.

The eldest brother was so angry that he couldn't even maintain a complete human form. He melted into a green, soft thing in front of Qiao Bai.

The pets surrounding Qiao Bai immediately became furious.

Those with eyes and those without eyes were all staring at the mountaineering bag brother who suddenly melted like a candle.

Qiao Bai opened his mouth.

This scene is quite... I want to roll the dice to see if I will lose some SAN.

Cough cough.

joke.

"So what exactly are you?" Qiao Bai forced his gaze away from his elder brother, who was so eye-catching that he had completely lost his human form, and shifted it to the real central tree in the void.

"What does the loss of connection between Wanmu City and Wanjie have to do with you?"

Maybe it was because Qiao Bai had fooled him.

The big tree was in a very depressed mood.

Dashu didn't want to answer Qiao Bai's question.

Qiao Bai thought about it and activated two talent skills at the same time.

moment.

A strong aura of friendliness that could be felt by all extraordinary creatures spread from Qiao Bai's body in all directions.

Big Tree: “?”

The previously motionless tree began to sway its crown slightly.

This may be just a small action for the big tree, but considering the current size of the tree, it is not a small action.

"Rustle, rustle"

"Rustle, rustle"

The treetops swayed one after another, and rhythmic sounds continued to come from above Qiao Bai's head. The entire void was filled with the rustling sound of leaves colliding and shaking.

What’s even more amazing is.

Qiao Bai could hear the joy in the heart of the big tree in front of him from the very rhythmic swaying sound.

Qiao Bai: “?”

Is there something wrong? Just now, the big brother looked like he wanted to eat him alive.

Qiao Bai didn't believe that the elder brother had nothing to do with the big tree in front of him.

In the blink of an eye.

What on earth had happened to make the tree's attitude towards him change 180 degrees ?

Qiao Bai's eyes were also fixed on the big tree.

[Damn family... Hmmmm? Is it my bloodline? Or direct line? ? ?]

Qiao Bai: “???”

If we say that there are three big question marks on Jianmu's psychological activities.

At this moment, Qiao Bai also wanted to ask three big question marks.

no?

How come he has a blood relationship with a tree?

And where does your tree get its direct lineage from? Mitosis or autogenous reproduction?

For a moment, Qiao Bai didn't even have time to be surprised by the series of things he saw. His mind was completely absorbed by Jianmu's inner drama.

"You... are my descendant?" Jianmu stared... well, Jianmu had no eyes. Jianmu swayed his treetops, standing there quietly, as if staring at Qiao Bai.

Balls of light emitting emerald green life light, like fireflies, slowly fell from the treetops.

Qiao Bai tried to hide with a few pets.

Died of laughter.

There's no way to avoid it.

"Don't resist."

"This is my power. It can help you recuperate." Jianmu continued. Qiao Bai could hear a hint of guilt in his voice. "You are my child. I must have accidentally lost you when I was asleep. That's why you became a human with a fragile body."

“I am not a qualified elder.”

Qiao Bai: “…”

Qiao Bai wanted to say something but stopped.

"...Are you imagining something weird? I'm pretty sure I'm a human, and there should be reproductive isolation between humans and trees."

"Not to mention that you are a supernatural being."

Qiao Bai was helpless.

Qiao Bai explained.

However.

Jianmu refused to listen and looked very stubborn: "No, I can be sure that you are my child, my direct bloodline, my seed."

Jianmu used several adjectives in succession.

"I am your father and your mother. You may not forgive me, but please do not resist the relationship between us."

"And why can't my children be human? I have many descendants in human form, but the blood they possess is very rare. They can only be considered my relatives, not my descendants."

Hmm? Hmm? Hmm? Looking at Jianmu's series of talents and special buffs, Qiao Bai somehow thought of the residents of Wanmu City.

All things are friendly.

All beasts surrender.

Taming beasts.

Wanmu City.

Qiao Bai: “…”

It seems that he is not imagining too much. There seems to be some connection here. By the way, it can also explain why the beast taming method in Wanmu City has not been promoted.

It’s not that the authorities don’t want to, but this kind of relationship involving blood ties is simply impossible to do.

Qiao Bai was silent.

"Wanmu City?" He asked when he thought of Qiao Bai.

Although Qiao Bai doesn't think he has any relationship with Jianmu.

But Qiao Bai could probably guess what Jianmu was thinking. It should be the illusion brought to Jianmu by his innate skill [Power of Response].

But no matter what, Jianmu felt guilty for accidentally losing his own child due to his imagination, so he would answer any questions from Qiao Bai as long as he knew them.

"Yes, those humans in Wanmu City are my descendants." Jianmu waved the lower branches a few times, his tone was gentle, and he looked very well-behaved.

Fortunately, Qiao Bai was not fooled by Jianmu's good attitude.

He had not yet forgotten the sinister and ferocious expression that the backpacker showed him before he melted.

As soon as he thought about the relationship between the two, Qiao Bai knew that the big tree in front of him that looked easy to talk to was definitely not a naive person.

The other party has a lot on his mind.

I can even make up a convincing lie to deceive him.

Take him to a fake Wanmu City.

If it wasn't Qiao Bai who encountered the man with the mountaineering bag, it wouldn't be so easy for anyone else to discover the problem and escape successfully.

Faced with Qiao Bai's vigilant look, Jianmu felt a little aggrieved.

"I……"

Jianmu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qiao Bai before he could finish his words.

"What exactly happened in Wanmu City? Why did it suddenly lose contact with the outside world?" Qiao Bai made a pause gesture, indicating that he didn't want to hear Jianmu's apology or Che Gulu's words of recognition for the time being.

He now wanted to know what had happened in Wanmu City.

Before seeing Jianmu, Qiao Bai could naively think that this might be an accident.

But after seeing Jianmu...

kindness.

If someone said that this matter had nothing to do with Jianmu, Qiao Bai would not believe a word of it.

"They are depriving this forest of its power. They are trying to destroy it. I just gave them a small punishment so that they can calm down."

Qiao Bai: “…”

Too much of a riddle man.

Half understand and half don't understand.

"Heart of the Heavenly Tree?" After hesitating for a while, the only thing Qiao Bai could think of was the most likely thing.

"No."

Unexpectedly, Jianmu denied it.

"The Heart of the Skywood is not a precious thing."

Even Qiao Bai wanted to complain after hearing Jianmu's words.

The extraordinary wood-attributed creature is comparable to a relic, but in Jianmu's mouth it becomes something not precious?

Anyone who hears this would want to fight Jianmu.

Fortunately, Qiao Bai was still quite calm.

There's no need to fight.

"The Heart of Heavenly Wood is not a precious thing to you, so what else can make you so angry?" Qiao Bai found it hard to understand.

Jianmu: "Wreath."

Qiao Bai was silent.

What is this? Seeing the confusion and curiosity in Qiao Bai's expression, Jianmu patiently explained it to Qiao Bai.

"That is a wreath made of the flowers I bloomed. It can help my descendants awaken the blood power in their bodies, so that they can also have the power to make other extraordinary creatures submit."

"It is also my wreath that supports the existence of this city and prevents it from being devoured by the extraordinary creatures around it."

"The wreath is the blessing I gave them. It was also the only thing I gave away from the void after spending a lot of my own strength. But they actually wanted to take the wreath away from here!"

As he spoke, Jianmu's voice gradually became angry.

Qiao Bai: “?”

Qiao Bai tilted his head and said, "It sounds like this thing is very important. The residents of Wanmu City should offer this wreath, right?"

"How can you take the wreath out so easily?"

"This is what I saw." Jianmu said firmly.

"Others didn't stop him. I couldn't scold him for his behavior, but I could block his actions."

“I’m doing this for their sake.”

Jianmu spoke with confidence.

Qiao Bai...Qiao Bai wanted to refute but didn't know how to open his mouth.

If things were really as Jianmu said, then it was indeed humans who did something wrong... Well, these residents of Wanmu City might not be considered pure humans, as their ancestors had inexplicable love-hate and blood ties with Jianmu.

Cough cough.

"I think there must be some hidden story here." After thinking for a while, Qiao Bai looked up at the huge Jianmu in front of him and analyzed calmly.

"It is absolutely impossible for normal residents of Wanmu City to easily take such an important wreath away from Wanmu City."

"Unless..." Qiao Bai didn't know why, but suddenly remembered the spy theory that had been circulating for some time.

Is it possible that...

"What's the situation in Wanmu City now? Can I go in and take a look?" Qiao Bai continued to look at Jianmu: "Maybe I can help you find out the truth of this matter."

"I guess you also want to know why those people...your offspring would do this."

Jianmu shook the branches and said very honestly: "I was indeed very angry before. I felt that they had violated the promise and contract with me, and I even wanted to destroy them."

Qiao Bai: “!”

shock!

I didn’t expect you to be such a tree!

You want to kill people if you disagree with them, right?

As if he could see Qiao Bai's shock and disbelief, Jianmu quickly explained: "But I don't want to think about it now, because you are more important."

Qiao Bai: “…”

Not a girl.

Not being teased.

However, Qiao Bai also understood Jianmu’s meaning—he might have wanted to know when he was angry before, but now that he saw him, he no longer wanted to know.

Compared with the offspring brought by N+1 who are separated by an unknown number of years, and the biological descendants in Jianmu's eyes, the existence of the latter is of course more important.

Then Qiao Bai stopped talking nonsense.

"I want to go in."

The tree crown of Jianmu is shaking.

Jianmu shakes its branches.

Jianmu hesitated.

"Okay... okay." Finally, looking at Qiao Bai's determined eyes, Jianmu reluctantly agreed to Qiao Bai's request.

Next second.

The void in front of Qiao Bai's eyes disappeared, and he stood firmly on the land of a familiar city.

Swoosh——

The moment Qiao Bai landed and stood firm, hundreds of pairs of eyes glowing green all looked at him.

Qiao Bai: “…”

The cheating Jianmu! (End of this chapter)
