Chapter 45 What the hell are you doing?
"Shasha~ (Brother, are you okay?)"
The tree demon leader exclaimed in surprise.
The other tree monsters also began to show concern for Ji Ruo, which made Ji Ruo inexplicably feel like a student who had been traveling abroad and suddenly returned home.
Ji Ruo said: "It's not that there's anything wrong. The Wind God Falcon doesn't intend to let me go..."
These tree monsters are so timid that they can rush into the area covered by the Wind God Falcon's evil aura - under the aunt's territory, despite their fear of the Wind God Falcon. This in itself can explain something.
Regardless of whether these guys came here because of the skill [Sense of Immersion], their intentions can be seen.
Humans and demons have different paths, so it was impossible for Ji Ruo to get too close to these tree demons - everything that happened before was just a show.
But after seeing this kindness with his own eyes, Ji Ruo couldn't bear to watch these guys foolishly waiting under the floating island for tens of thousands of years... So, after thinking for a moment, Ji Ruo suddenly said: "It's like this, Chief, the reason why I appeared here is because the Wind God Falcon sensed your arrival, and appreciated your kindness, so it let me come down to say goodbye to you..."
The leader of the tree demons: "Shashasha~ (Farewell? What does that mean?)"
"I'm going to the top of the mountain." Ji Ruo pretended to be melancholy and began to lie.
"The Wind God Falcon wants to send me and another brother to the top of the mountain to be used by those big monsters to pick their teeth... They are huge and noble, and ordinary trees are not worthy of being their toothpicks. Only treasures among tree monsters like us are barely qualified...
So, leader, goodbye. Another brother has been sent there, and I will die soon. Don’t miss me, and don’t try to save me. You just live well. I’m happy to know you, but please don’t sacrifice your precious lives for me. It’s not easy for us tree monsters to survive in this secret realm.
If you really can't bear to part with me, then keep living with me and work harder!"
After saying that, Ji Ruo stepped forward and hugged the tree demon leader—and then jumped up to pick a few spiritual fruits.
Ji Ruo waved his hand and said to the invisible tree monsters: "Goodbye, brothers. I have to go to the top of the mountain to help those monsters with food stuck in their teeth. If there is an afterlife... let's be brothers again!"
After saying that, Ji Ruo summoned the teleportation portal and returned to the floating island. It had been almost two hours since Fengshen Falcon left, and he might be back soon. Ji Ruo didn't dare to delay here any longer.
Liang Shixian is the only human on the floating island right now, and he doesn't have the [Common Language]. What if he gets killed accidentally?
Another third of the Qi and blood energy was consumed, leaving only the last third.
Ji Ruo walked towards the direction where Liang Shixian was, took out a high-level spiritual fruit whose name he could not remember and started to eat it, in order to speed up the recovery of his energy and blood.
"Woo woo woo~"
Rosie was crying quietly above Ji Ruo's head.
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed her little head: "Why are you crying, little girl?"
“Meow~ meow~ meow~ wuwuwuwuwu… (Master, we have to go to the big demon on the top of the mountain to deal with the problem of food stuck in his teeth… Can we not go? It’s so disgusting, Rosie is scared! Wuwuwuwuwuwu…)”
Ji Ruo: “???”
You are just making up your mind!
"I lied to those tree monsters!" Ji Ruo said angrily, "They are so timid that they definitely don't dare to go to the top of the mountain. After all, they came to the bottom of the floating island to save us. We can't just leave them there, right?"
Rosie was no longer emotionally coherent.
I'm already crying, and you tell me you're a liar?
Badass master!
Ji Ruo ignored Rosie who was having a tantrum over his head and thought as he walked.
At present, it seems that the shuttle function of this "panopticon" consumes a lot of energy and cannot be used continuously.
And I don't know yet whether the consumption is related to the distance - the consumption of transmitting from the floating island to the ground is so huge, the consumption of transmitting back to Daxia is probably even more terrifying.
If I can't pass this thing, I'll end the martial arts exam early.
And judging from the current situation, the 'spatial coordinate record' determined by this ability seems to be the location of the places visited or the creatures with which specific interactions have occurred?
Now the fifth day is almost halfway through. I only have a day and a half left before I have to go back and continue to spend my days on the floating island.
Anyway, Aunt Fengshen Falcon's two children have already become his "apprentices".
As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. In theory, Ji Ruo is Aunt Fengshen Falcon's husband... ahem, in short, Ji Ruo is absolutely safe in Fengshen Falcon's nest.
There is no doubt about this.
…
What Ji Ruo didn't know was that right after he left.
The group of tree demons fell into a long silence because of his words.
The leader of the tree demons suddenly began to tremble all over, and the leaves above his head shook violently.
"Shasha~ (You are such an embarrassment to the tree! You are such an embarrassment to the tree!)"
"Shashasha~ (Pick your teeth? Pick your teeth? Pick your teeth!)"
"Shashasha~ (Those big monsters and demons living on the top of the mountain are bullying the trees too much!)"
“Rustle, rustle, rustle~ (The words of the fertilizer tree brother made me so angry that I trembled all over. The leaves turned yellow and fell off in the hot summer, and the roots were cold. Can this secret realm be cured? We tree monsters have already lived in harmony with the world. We can survive by basking in the sun and drinking water every day. How can they live to be satisfied? The tree sap is flowing out. This secret realm is full of oppression against the tree monsters. When can we tree monsters truly stand up!)”
Its emotions are transmitted to each dryad through the falling leaves and the trembling roots beneath the ground.
They felt sympathy, and all the dryads became angry.
"Shh~ (I can't stand it anymore. We, the tree demon clan, have finally found two sacred trees that are essential for home and travel. We tree demons can completely achieve self-sufficiency!
Pick your teeth! Those damn mountain monsters actually used the sacred tree brothers to pick their teeth!
I can’t stand it! )”
"Rustle~ (Brothers, let's unite and rescue our brothers from the sacred tree!)" The tree demon leader shook his branches wildly: "Rustle~ (We must prove to other demons that we, the tree demons, are no worse than any other demon!
After I rescue the sacred tree brothers, I will breed them myself!
We live and work in peace and contentment, we take root during the day and migrate at night, we must hold our heads high and be proud tree demons! )"
The other tree monsters responded one after another: "Shashasha~ (Yes! Yes! Yes!)"
Their simple emotions were aroused, and their sluggish feelings exploded at this moment.
The crowd is excited!
Of course, there are still some tree demons that are more sober.
"Shasha~ (I understand the truth, but leader, how are we going to rescue the brothers of the Divine Tree? We can't beat those big guys on the top of the mountain!)"
"Shasha~ (Go find the ancestor! Gather the tree demon brothers from other places! We must unite, unity is strength!)" The tree demon leader called on everyone.
“Shashasha~ (Compromise will only lead to more severe aggression and oppression! We must unite and resist! Only by resisting can we grow into a straight, towering tree!)”
“Shasha~ (Resist! Resist!)”
"Shasha~ (Unity! Unity!)"
“Shasha~ (Never compromise! Never compromise!)”
They began to migrate again, looking for their ancestors and other tree demon brothers. They wanted to unite and go to the top of the mountain to save the divine tree brothers!
Of course, the two divine tree brothers were completely unaware of all this.
I don't know when it started, but among the low-level demons or monsters, some extremely intelligent individuals occasionally appeared, such as goblins who could regulate planting and speak human language, and dryad leaders who could incite revolution...
Everything seems to have started more than a hundred years ago.
These extremely intelligent low-level demon individuals seem to be leading their own tribes towards prosperity through their outstanding wisdom, allowing their tribes to live a better life.
But time has always proved that they are actually using various methods to lead their respective ethnic groups to the abyss of extinction.
These destruction events all occurred with such coincidence that no demons or monsters ever noticed it.
However, the number of monsters in the secret realm is slowly being consumed and decreasing year by year.
It was as if there were a pair of invisible hands planning and driving everything in the dark.
Even the most gentle tree demons have shown the will to fight, which seems to be foreshadowing——
The sky of Wanshou Mountain is about to change.
