"Youyou!" You stinky flower, what are you doing here!?
Little Deer glared at Ling Xiao and his group, seemingly unhappy.
"Oh dear~ Little deer, why are you like this? I'm here to send people into the country~" Ling Xiao clutched his chest, feigning sadness, but his tone showed no sign of disappointment.
The little deer snorted and turned its head away.
One person and one dog might not work out with them.
The giant pandas and brown bears remained dozing; this was not their territory, and they were too lazy to make a sound.
Ling Xiao didn't care about Xiao Lu's attitude and pointed to the palace gate, saying, "Here, go up and try." Amo glanced at Lin Qian and the others, then led Afu over.
The man and the dog stood there, staring at each other for three minutes, not even bothering to "daze".
The little white bird flapped its wings anxiously, "Chirp chirp!"
Ling Xiao patted its head. "Alright, alright, go to the next one."
The girl turned her head and looked at the two large bears beside her. "Hey, lead the way."
Following the order, the next nearest palace was the one near the giant panda. The brown bear ignored it, while the giant panda grunted, stood up, and then slowly walked ahead.
They didn't have high hopes for this man and dog, but at least they had a spirit beast, so there was still a chance of success.
Humans, basically, have no hope.
Although they tacitly agree to take any human who enters the country on a trial, no human has succeeded so far.
As Ling Xiao and his group gradually disappeared into the distance, Lin Qian turned his head to look at them. He still remembered Amo and Afu, after all, he had looked for them before.
Lin Qian was only familiar with them and glanced at them a few more times; he had no curiosity about them.
The brown bear saw Lin Qian's actions and growled a warning, "Roar." Little brat, don't get too close to humans.
Lin Qian was somewhat surprised, but nodded to indicate that he understood.
The brown bear made no further comment and continued to squint its eyes.
Lin Qian smiled and didn't care. The brown bear probably felt that human nature was complex and it was hard to distinguish between good and bad. It was afraid that these newly intelligent spirit beasts would be deceived, so it gave them a warning.
Lin Qian's thinking was correct; brown bears did indeed have this concern. It wasn't that brown bears themselves disliked humans, but rather it was due to some historical reasons.
...
In a desolate space, a young woman dressed in a green robe sat blankly on the bare yellow earth.
It was Lin Yang's mother-in-law who was with him.
"Calm down." A gentle voice echoed in the space, carrying an endless sense of peace.
The old woman's tightly closed eyes revealed a struggle; she couldn't calm down!
"Without seeking one's true self, one cannot leave this realm."
The voice rang out again. The old woman was slightly startled, her face showing resentment, but she could only close her eyes again and force herself to calm down.
But the effect was not good; the more I tried to calm my mind, the harder it became.
An invisible ripple slowly spread toward the old woman, and the woman's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
"You actually helped it ask its own question?"
Not far from the mother-in-law, two figures sat facing each other, yet it was difficult to distinguish between them, as if they were not even there.
"It is very special."
The other voice, faint in response, was the one that reminded the mother-in-law.
"Hehe, our race is inherently different, but it is different among different races." The figure who asked the question smiled faintly, with a hint of melancholy.
With the help of the so-called "heart-to-heart" consultation, the mother-in-law finally got into the right mindset.
Its consciousness slowly sank, then gradually cleared, and then it saw its own life.
An ordinary willow branch was broken off from a willow tree and planted by a powerful being in a place rich in spiritual energy. After countless years, it grew into a willow tree and gradually developed consciousness.
Just as it began to have a vague sense of consciousness, an anomaly occurred: a strange energy entered its body and invaded its consciousness.
It desperately tried to resist and expel the strange energy with its spiritual power, but it still couldn't get rid of it completely. The spiritual power and the strange energy began to pull at each other, and the already hazy consciousness gradually became broken and weak under such pulling.
Its consciousness was in a state of chaos, lost in a fog, with only its instincts still using spiritual power to constantly fight against that strange energy.
When it regained consciousness, it no longer knew what it was.
The "grandmother" of today is actually the mutated willow tree that devoured the old woman in Amon's group.
But the "grandmother" wasn't an old woman; she was a mutated willow tree.
After a long period of time, the mutated willow tree was finally about to cleanse itself of the strange energy that had invaded it, but at the last moment it encountered the opening of a secret realm.
And then a human happened to approach it at that moment, causing it to be driven by the strange energy once again, passively devouring the person.
After it accidentally devoured the old woman, the strange energy was completely eradicated.
However, in the clash between the two energies, the already shattered consciousness of the mutated willow tree became even weaker and almost completely dissipated. Therefore, the mutated willow tree subconsciously devoured the old woman's consciousness as well, in order to repair its own consciousness.
Just a human who has lived for several decades has a vast amount of memories in his consciousness. The mutated willow tree's consciousness was already hazy, and its memories were not only scarce but also fragmented. It was quickly overwhelmed by this rich human memory.
In the end, although the mutated willow tree's consciousness was preserved, it also merged with the old woman's memories and emotions.
Although it is still a mutated willow tree, it has a "personality" that belongs to humans.
Therefore, after breaking free from its constraints, it subconsciously evolved a human body, which is due to the influence of its "personality" in its subconscious.
Even due to the influence of its personality, the mutated willow tree was initially unable to control its behavior. When it encountered the dying Lin Yang in the secret realm, it recklessly used its own essence to revive him.
