Chapter 26
Jin Mianhua immediately placed the leaf on Long Yuanyuan's hand, absorbing some energy from time to time, and also radiating its perception to better help its little master find the treasure chest.
"Huahua, I found another treasure chest." Long Yuanyuan ran towards the treasure chest excitedly, her baby voice full of excitement and a bright smile.
[Master is awesome!] Jin Mianhua praised generously.
"hey-hey--"
Long Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile foolishly, and sweet dimples appeared on her cheeks.
She really liked Huahua going out with her to look for treasure chests. Although her hands were a little sore, there were always people talking to her along the way, so she didn't feel lonely at all, and it was even fun.
[Open bronze treasure chest, wood +10, drinking water +2, stone +5]
Long Yuanyuan immediately put all the things into her backpack happily.
Then, with the help of Huahua, Long Yuanyuan found a total of three treasure chests and obtained wood +25, drinking water +6, stone +10, and crafting table fragment +1.
"Huahua, let's go find Dashu to learn from him, and then go home."
[Yes, Master!]
At this moment, the dead tree was not dormant, but felt the cub walking towards it little by little.
After a while, it let out a long sigh.
hope.....
This is the right choice.
"Little one, you're here." The dead tree took the initiative to greet Long Yuanyuan. Although it knew a lot about the human world, it still liked to be straightforward. "Will you make a contract with me?"
The wind blew gently, and only a rustling sound could be heard in the wilderness.
Long Yuanyuan tilted his head and thought for a moment.
In her view, the contract means being able to take the dead tree home.
She immediately went forward excitedly and hugged the dead tree: "I do! Big tree, I want to take you home!"
Long Yuanyuan had a good plan. Bringing Chu Mu home meant that she could learn to read and write at home and he could also talk to her. Of course, she was very happy.
The dead tree breathed a sigh of relief. Although it felt that the benefits outweighed the disadvantages of the cub making a contract with it, it was also worried that the cub would not agree.
"Then, little cub, let's start the contract."
"good!"
Long Yuanyuan excitedly agreed, but didn't make any moves. Ku Mu also didn't make any moves, waiting for Long Yuanyuan to sign the contract.
It's getting quieter...
Withered Tree couldn't help but ask: "Cub, you can start the contract now."
"Contract, how do we make a contract?" Long Yuanyuan looked puzzled and puzzled.
Dead Tree: “…”
"Then how did you make the contract with Huahua before?"
Long Yuanyuan thought about it carefully, but found nothing: "We signed the contract for no apparent reason."
Jin Mianhua finally understood why neither the man nor the plant moved, so she had to explain.
"It's blood, Grandpa Tree. You just need to absorb a little bit of the little master's blood."
It asked Yaya about the contract process, and then thought about how it had inexplicably made the contract with its young master after the young master poured the water used to wash its wounds on it that day, and it immediately came to this conclusion.
Long Yuanyuan on the side immediately covered her hand and said reluctantly: "Don't bite...it hurts."
It hurt so much when Yaya bit her before.
Withered Tree hadn't expected the contract to require blood. Seeing the fear on the cub's face, he could only comfort him, "Don't be afraid, cub. It won't hurt at all."
After saying that, it immediately stretched out a branch and lightly touched Long Yuanyuan's hand.
A slight pain came, and before Long Yuanyuan could pout, she saw a white light flash on her finger, and the pain disappeared immediately.
A sentence suddenly appeared in Ku Mu's mind.
[Will you become contestant Long Yuanyuan's contracted plant? ]
It chose "yes" without hesitation.
If it had hesitated before, now there was no hesitation at all.
Although it didn't know how the previous Chosen Ones had signed contracts, it definitely wouldn't be like this. Furthermore, from the words that had just appeared in its mind, the dead tree could sense the power from another world. He...
Before the dead tree could say the next words in its mind, a mysterious voice, completely different from the one just now, sounded in its mind.
[It cannot be said.]
The dead tree began to tremble all over, and its branches rustled and shook along with it.
If it was just a guess just now, it is now completely certain.
Withered Tree suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart: "Cub, you will be my little master from now on. Let's go back first."
Hearing this, Long Yuanyuan circled around the dead tree in distress: "But big tree, you are too big. I don't think I can take you back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dead tree in front of him disappeared out of thin air, and a big hole appeared on the ground.
"Big tree!!"
Long Yuanyuan's face was full of horror.
How come such a big tree disappeared?
Only when a familiar voice came from below did Long Yuanyuan breathe a sigh of relief.
"Cub, I'm here."
The next second, a miniature dead tree crawled out of the deep pit.
Its body suddenly became smaller, and its roots became like legs, allowing it to walk on the plains.
"Wow--" Long Yuanyuan circled around the dead tree in surprise, his face full of disbelief, and poked the trunk of the dead tree from time to time.
Her baby voice was filled with surprise, "Dashu, how did you become like this?"
The dead tree replied vaguely: "After signing the contract, I can become like this."
To be precise, it could shrink itself after signing the contract, but this came at a cost. But now, not only could it shrink itself, but it could also walk freely on the plains. This was completely unexpected, and even more so, a gift from Him.
It changed the subject and said, "Cub, let's go back."
"good!"
Long Yuanyuan immediately walked in front to lead the way, sharing the situation of the cabin as she walked, and at least one out of every three sentences was about Yaya.
Although Yaya couldn't communicate fluently with Long Yuanyuan, she held an irreplaceable position in Long Yuanyuan's heart, because she was Long Yuanyuan's first friend in this world.
The dead tree asked in surprise, "You mean to say that there is a new plant in the cabin where you live, and you call it Bud?"
"Yes."
The dead tree had more doubts in its mind, but it became more and more certain that the contract with the cub was the right decision.
It had been a long time since any plant had been born in the wasteland, but now there was one, and it was in the cabin where the cubs lived. This was totally abnormal...
The distance back to the cabin was not far, and Ku Mu even sensed a treasure chest on the way, so he directly asked Long Yuanyuan to open the treasure chest.
[Open bronze treasure chest, drinking water +5, wood +10, stone +5]
This time, the dead tree saw the entire process of Long Yuanyuan opening the treasure chest. It was extremely silent, but silently expanded the range of its perception.
For thousands of years, it has been restraining its abilities in order to save energy and live longer on the plains.
But now, the dead tree silently looked at the little cub in front of it that was jumping and talking in a baby voice from time to time. It knew that this was its only chance, so it no longer saved energy excessively.
