I turned around and saw that they were gone!
By this time, Wang Feng had already moved to another part of the village and was examining the large willow tree in front of him for a while.
Wang Feng discovered that this large willow tree actually possessed a certain divine quality; it must be the so-called village guardian deity.
willow
Identity: Liu Ling's divided soul
Realm: Ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm
My signature weapon: Willow branch.
Liu Ling's split soul—who is Liu Ling? Wang Feng said he had never heard of this name.
Even in his previous eight lives, he had never heard of this name. It seems this willow tree is quite extraordinary.
At this moment, a willow branch stretched out from the large willow tree and slowly fell behind Wang Feng.
Wang Feng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly. He could tell that the willow tree didn't have any bad intentions.
The willow branch slowly retracted, bringing Wang Feng to the tree trunk and imbuing him with a layer of green spiritual energy.
This was a small stroke of luck.
Wang Feng was overjoyed and immediately began cultivating the Chaotic Overlord Body Technique.
Four layers of body tempering.
Five layers of body tempering.
Body tempering layer six...
His cultivation level soared all the way to the ninth level of Body Tempering before stopping. Body Tempering is the lowest level in the cultivation world.
For people like Wang Feng who possess Emperor-level cultivation techniques, improvement is incredibly easy.
"Thank you. May I ask what you need?"
Wang Feng asked in the language of the Tiancang Continent, not believing that the willow tree would give him this opportunity for no reason.
The willow tree stretched out its branches and helped Wang Feng back to the ground, where he began to write.
"I just hope you can help find some food for the people in the village."
Wang Feng read the words on the ground one by one. This willow tree really is the guardian of the village.
"OK."
Wang Feng responded.
"Hey! Young man, how was it? What did Liu Shen say to you?"
After searching for a while, the village chief finally found Wang Feng by the willow tree.
"It helped me improve my cultivation level a bit. I'll find you some food later, and then I'll be leaving."
Upon hearing Wang Feng's words, Mo Lei shed tears and knelt before the large willow tree for a while.
"Willow Goddess, it's a pity you can't move, otherwise we could have moved."
As he prayed, Village Chief Mo Lei choked back tears, repeating that the reason they refused to leave was because of the Willow God.
It has protected the village for generations, and the villagers would rather die than abandon it.
There are also hunting teams in the village, the highest level being the Spirit Gathering Level 1.
However, that Spirit Gathering Level 1 cultivator hasn't returned for several days; he's probably been torn apart by the evil spirits of the night.
The rest of the hunting party has also disappeared. One member returned, but he was seriously injured and is still unconscious.
This explains why most of the villagers are emaciated; they haven't had a hunting party and have been starving for a long time.
The willow tree stretched out a branch and touched the head of Village Chief Mo Lei. In its eyes, this old man had knelt before it in the same way decades ago.
However, at that time he was all smiles and looked very happy.
"Young man, come with me."
Mo Lei got up, pulled Wang Feng along, and left, leaving behind the large willow tree swaying in the wind, with no one around, making it seem rather desolate.
“Young man, you don’t need to listen to what Liu Shen said about helping us find food. Don’t risk your life.”
Mo Lei pulled Wang Feng all the way to a place far away from the willow tree before stopping and speaking.
"You should find your way and leave tomorrow morning!"
Village Chief Mo Lei waved his hand, turned and left, his hunched back looking somewhat forlorn.
Are all the people in this village this simple and honest?
Wang Feng stood there watching his departing figure and couldn't help but mutter a sentence.
He had set his sights on this food, not only for the willow tree, but now even more so for these simple villagers.
Wang Feng returned to the willow tree, intending to spend the night there.
At night, a green barrier rises around the village, isolating it from the outside world.
"Willow Goddess~, Willow Goddess~"
Suddenly, a soft, childlike voice came from under the tree. The voice was very soft, as if the child was afraid of being overheard.
"Willow Goddess~, could you let me sit and swing a little longer?"
The little girl touched the willow tree in a very soft whisper.
The willow tree cannot speak, but its outstretched branches have already proven its response.
"Hehe~, thank you, Goddess Liu~"
The little girl giggled twice, sat on a branch, and the willow tree urged its branches to sway gently.
Wang Feng found the little girl extremely strange. Why were most of the people in her village extremely thin and weak, while she looked no different from any other child?
However, Wang Feng didn't ask the little girl, and the little girl didn't notice anyone up in the big willow tree.
Wang Feng crossed his arms and leaned against the willow tree to sleep.
"Willow Goddess~, I'm leaving~, otherwise my mother will scold me again~"
The little girl bid farewell to the Willow God with a reluctant tone, and the Willow God also stretched out a branch to wave.
......
One night passed.
The villagers came out to fetch water, but this time there was an extra scene: a group of children were playing with stones.
However, they seemed quite restrained, not daring to play too wildly.
Wang Feng jumped down from the willow tree and walked towards them, asking, "Why are you acting so strangely?"
The group of children were wary of the stranger, but they answered him when they saw that Wang Feng didn't make any move.
"Because we wanted to reduce the suffering of our father and mother."
One of the children wiped the snot off his nose and replied.
"pain?"
"Yes, my father and mother are missing a lot of their bodies. The more tired we are from playing, the hungrier we get."
