Chapter 222
"Demon?"
Zhang Mi looked at Wu Yunqin, feeling that she might have misheard or misunderstood. She said in a joking tone, "Could it be the legendary goblin?"
She thought she was joking, but after she finished speaking, she found that Wu Yunqin and the patriarch of the Wood Clan were looking at her very seriously. The solemn atmosphere forced her to restrain her smile.
"What? Is it really a goblin?"
Then she saw both of them nodded.
Zhang Mi: …???
What the hell? Is that tree a goblin? The kind of goblins that only exist in legends or movies and TV series, transformed from plants, animals, or even inanimate objects, and capable of all sorts of magical spells?
Zhang Mi suspected that he had not woken up yet, otherwise how could he hear such ridiculous things from the mouths of these two agricultural experts who should be very scientific?
However, these two big guys didn't pay attention to her feelings. While she was confused, they had already started communicating.
Mu Yuncheng was also surprised that Wu Yunqin actually knew about the Wood Ancestor.
Probably because of their old age, the elders of the Wood Clan are not active. In recent years, they have been finding a place to take root and hibernate, and their sleep lasts for years. They rarely appear in public.
So even though this is a semi-open secret, not everyone in the agricultural community knows about it.
Hearing Mu Yuncheng's doubts, Wu Yunqin smiled and said, "My mentor was fortunate enough to have dealt with one of them, and she told me."
To be honest, she couldn't believe it at first, but after seeing more and more confidential information, she had to admit that fairies might really exist in this world.
For example, before, after Zhuang Shisong and others proposed the theory that the mutated garlic fell into dormancy because it was advancing and had consciousness and emotions, Wu Yunqin also suspected whether the mutated plants born on Prison Star were related to goblins.
Of course this was just a suspicion, and she had no evidence to support it.
After all, in the tens of thousands of years since humans set foot in the interstellar space, not only plants, but even animals have not become spirits.
Even if a cub has completely turned into a wild beast due to blood frenzy, there is no case of it being able to recover as a human being later, let alone animals and plants evolving into human form.
Therefore, Wu Yunqin only took this suspicion as a topic of personal research and did not tell anyone else.
Judging from the current research results, the mutant garlic's reaction to the outside world is indeed much stronger than that of other plants, especially... to the voice of the breeder Su.
This was the most puzzling thing for Wu Yunqin, but if it was attributed to the mutant garlic's love for the breeder Su, it seemed to make sense.
She was conducting further research in this direction, and had not yet made any particularly valuable breakthroughs, but she did not expect Mu Yuncheng to bring her such news.
Prison Planet...is actually the home planet of mankind!
The moment Wu Yunqin heard the news, his scalp tingled. Some of the puzzles that he had been unable to figure out before seemed to have been answered, especially -
Why do mutant plants only appear on Prison Star? Why do ordinary people have a chance of awakening special abilities when they arrive on Prison Star? Is it related to the fact that fairies can only be born on the mother planet?
While she was thinking, Zhang Mi came to her senses and said directly, "Whether fairies really exist in the world, won't we know if we go and take a look?"
As Zhang Mi said this, he wanted to take people to the plain to see the huge tree again, but he was quickly stopped by Mu Yuncheng.
The ancestor is in a special state now and cannot respond to them for the time being. It is useless to go now. If you want to go and pay a visit, you need to wait for a while.
After Mu Yuncheng's explanation, Zhang Mi and others had to suppress their excitement and first completed the relevant procedures and arranged accommodation for the father and son and the accompanying pilot. As for the subsequent itinerary, he had to discuss it with the people in the plantation.
Regarding the rectification of the mother planet's name, Mu Yuncheng also felt that he needed to wait until everything was settled before making any arrangements. The ancestor was currently in hibernation and no one knew when he would wake up. If he were alone, he would have to provide more evidence to convince the people of the Star Alliance.
So after completing the formalities, Mu Yuncheng said goodbye to Zhang Mi, and he temporarily rejected Wu Yunqin's invitation to exchange.
He will stay on Prison Star for a long time in the future, so these things are not urgent.
Mu Yuncheng couldn't wait to go to the plain. In addition to being concerned about his son, he also wanted to meet the breeder Su, who was revered as the God by the ancestors.
As a result, halfway through the journey, he was bombarded with information from the stars.
The people who called him were the guardians of the various Wood-type ancestors, but the ones who actually spoke to him were the Wood-type elders they were protecting.
It was the first time that Mu Yuncheng saw these old trees, which were usually very well-mannered and spoke slowly and weakly, go on a collective rampage.
Some of them lived nearby and had gathered together, all of them vying to talk to Mu Yuncheng, which made him feel overwhelmed.
These communications came one after another, and all the questions from the old trees basically pointed to the three key words: mother planet, spirit of the earth, and Mu Qing.
Mu Yuncheng's voice became hoarse from explaining, and what surprised him the most was that two wood-type ancestors who had disappeared for hundreds of years and were believed to be dead in the clan had reappeared!
They were originally dormant, but were awakened by the news shared by Mu Qing, and they could no longer stay dormant.
This is truly a pleasant surprise for the Wood Clan.
Mu Yuncheng patiently explained everything to them one by one, calmed the elders' emotions, and promised to arrange for them to go to Prison Star, which is the mother planet, as soon as possible.
Of course, there were one or two hot-tempered ones who were unwilling to wait and clamored to come over immediately. However, as soon as Mu Yuncheng mentioned the name of the Spirit of the Earth, they obediently agreed and promised to follow the arrangements of the patriarch.
Mu Yuncheng found it incredibly well-behaved. However, when he thought of Mu Qing's distraught look when facing the breeder Su, he felt relieved.
He didn't know what the scene would be like when all the elders arrived at Prison Star, but he actually felt a little excited.
After pacifying all the elders, he quickly made arrangements.
The procedures for coming to Prison Star are not difficult to handle. Although the Wood Clan is not large in number, they have an extremely special status in the interstellar space and have a lot of say.
After all, no other clan can have so many ancestors who are tens of thousands of years old!
The difficulty now is that these elders are too scattered. According to preliminary calculations, it will take at least half a year to reach the farthest one, and the shortest one will take about four or five months.
For such a long trip, it is better to bring everything you need at once.
Apart from anything else, Mu Yuncheng wanted to transfer all those wood-type people who had reverted to their ancestral form and turned into plants to their mother planet. This should also be what the elders wanted.
Moreover, the spirit of the earth is so powerful, is there any way to make them regain consciousness and turn back into human form?
When he thought of this, Mu Yuncheng felt his heart beating faster.
Therefore, he needs to make a good arrangement for this matter and cannot be as hasty as this time, otherwise, it will take too much time to go back and forth.
By the time he had assigned the general tasks to other tribesmen, it was already evening, and when they went to the plains, they found nothing.
Mu Yuncheng then quickly turned around and rushed to the nursery.
When he followed the sound and came to the restaurant on the second floor of the nursery, he saw the children gathered together for dinner.
Although they had eaten barbecue during the autumn outing in the afternoon, the food had been digested long ago after playing around. Now they were starving, and the cubs ate their meal with extra relish.
Among them was Mu Bao who arrived on the first day.
As soon as he arrived, he started practicing walking. Later, when Su Ci was giving a lecture to Xiao Lihua, he listened very attentively. After a lot of physical and mental exertion, his stomach was already growling with hunger.
Wen Yan also arranged dinner for him. He was now sitting next to Lu Jiao, eating his meal obediently with a spoon.
Whenever Lu Jiao asked him if the food was to his liking, he would nod and say it was delicious, his cheeks bulging like a little hamster, demonstrating with his actions that he really enjoyed the dinner at the nursery.
When Mu Yuncheng came over, he saw this scene.
Seeing his son getting along well with the other children in the nursery, he couldn't help but smile with relief. He secretly took a picture of the scene and sent it to his wife who was far away on the planet Mupapa.
When he looked up again, he saw Mu Bao suddenly turned his head to look at the door as if he had sensed something.
When he saw his father, Mu Bao's eyes lit up. He quickly chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth, then put down the spoon and waved to Mu Yuncheng.
"Dad, I'm here!" he shouted happily.
Mu Yuncheng was just about to let him continue eating, but the next moment, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He saw his son push the table away, stand up, then take a step forward and walk towards him. He walked very slowly, but each step was steady.
Mu Yuncheng then realized that his son was not sitting in a floating wheelchair, and his legs... could bend!
He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and only came to his senses when Mu Bao came to him happily and called him dad with a smile.
He squatted down and took the child into his arms.
"Dad, I can walk now!" Mu Bao leaned in his arms, tilted his head back, and shared the good news with him.
Mu Yuncheng's eyes were red, and he asked with a choked voice, "Is your leg okay?"
"Yeah!" Mu Bao said, "Su Su cured me! If you don't believe me, try touching it."
Mu Yuncheng still felt like he was living in a dream. How could this be so unreal? He had only been gone for a few hours, so how could Mu Bao's leg be healed?
He reached out and touched the child's calf. What he felt was no longer hard wood, but the child's soft and tender legs. He finally couldn't help crying with joy.
"That's great... This is really great..."
He hugged Mu Bao again, completely unable to control his excitement at the moment. At the same time, the affection and awe he already had for the breeder Su was now filled with gratitude.
Thinking of this, he quickly let go of Mu Bao and said, "Go eat, Dad will go find the breeder Su."
Mu Bao held him back and said seriously, "Yoyo said that we can't disturb Susu at night. If you want to see him, you have to wait until tomorrow."
Mu Yuncheng looked at the time and was about to say that it was not too late when he suddenly felt a chill on his spine. He looked up and saw that the cubs who were eating were all looking at him with a fierce look.
The feeling of being targeted by both carnivorous and herbivorous beasts at the same time made his scalp tingle.
He swallowed hard, forced a smile, and said, "Okay, I'll go see him tomorrow."
Then, the deadly feeling of being targeted disappeared, and the cubs smiled warmly at him, then beckoned the father and son to come over for dinner.
Although Mu Yuncheng still didn't understand why, he decided to listen to what the cubs said.
When Mu Yuncheng joined the cubs for dinner, the little titmouse Jiujiu had just returned to the underground sealed barrier.
In the barrier, the masked man in red was still sitting quietly, with the chains wrapped around him extending in all directions.
When the little tit came back, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the red part in those calm and indifferent eyes had obviously faded a lot.
"I'm back!" Jiujiu shouted happily.
He stretched out his hand toward the little tit, and the little tit flapped its wings and gently landed on the palm of his jade-white hand.
