Chapter 232 The Voice of the Mother Tree
Haizu saw them lingering in front of the stall and urged them on.
"Let's go, what are you dawdling for?"
Lu Liufeng and Yang did not linger and turned to leave.
But just as they were about to cross the boundary, a blinding light suddenly burst forth from the sky.
Everyone closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, a shocking scene appeared in the sky above the boundary line.
A giant, golden-red bird, spreading across the sky, crossed the boundary, leaving behind a trail of golden-red light.
Behind the giant golden-red bird, countless other large birds, some golden and some red, flew about.
Hai Zu frowned.
"These guys from Phoenix Mountain are so high-profile, are they afraid the old monsters in the Cursed Lands won't know?"
His powers in the cursed land will be suppressed.
Therefore, he didn't want to confront those guys from the Cursed Land unless it was absolutely necessary.
Those guys from Fengshan...
However, his brows soon relaxed again.
Jiang Xi is no longer in the cursed land.
All he needs to do is find her at the royal court and take her away.
He doesn't even consider a royal court a threat.
Once they reached the Boundless Sea, they had no more chances.
Lu Liufeng and the other beastmen exchanged glances, their eyes filled with worry.
Phoenix Mountain has already appeared; will the Ancient Land and Nightmare Swamp be far behind?
The situation is becoming increasingly complicated.
On the bright side, the more orc factions there are, the less likely they are to reach a consensus.
This might be a good thing for the female owner.
Giant Rabbit Tribe.
Jiang Xi did not notice the sudden brightness of the sky.
Because she was inside the giant tree!
That's right! It's that towering tree right in the middle of the giant rabbit tribe!!
The Mother Tree of Life of the Giant Rabbit Tribe grows inside the tree!
She followed Mary and Rose, the old maid, into the giant tree.
There is a hidden world inside this giant tree.
The tree trunk was hollowed out, and inside the huge, shaft-like space, there were faint specks of light.
If you look closely, you can see that these spots of light are covering the vines that have climbed all over the tree holes.
Jiang Xi watched all of this in astonishment.
Is it a mother tree of life in the form of vines?
The form of the Mother Tree of Life was not originally fixed.
At that moment, a glowing vine suddenly reached down from the sky, landed in front of Jiang Xi, and swayed gently.
"The Mother Tree!"
"The Mother Tree!"
Mary and Rose gasped and even knelt down.
They haven't seen the mother tree in its entirety for many years.
The mother tree sheltered the mulberry tree, relying on the mulberry tree's vitality to delay its departure from this land and try to protect them for longer.
Jiang Xi raised her finger and touched the glowing vine.
In an instant, a burst of light erupted, and her consciousness once again entered a world filled with light.
But this time, the world has more than just light; there is also... a distant, unreachable forest covered with glowing vines.
"This is……"
Jiang Xi opened her eyes wide, and then, as if talking to herself, gave the answer.
"origin……"
Is this the origin?
She walked towards the glowing forest, then turned to run, but she could never get close to it.
It's there, but you can't get close.
Suddenly, in the world filled with light, a clear female voice rang out.
"Regina...go find Regina..."
Jiang Xi sensed that she was about to leave, so she quickly called out loudly.
"Who is Regina!"
No one answered her.
The next instant, Jiang Xi suddenly opened her eyes and was out of that space.
But soon she discovered that the light spots on the vines in the tree trunk space were rising and falling, and she could see that there were many more light spots.
Mary and Rose knelt on the ground, their hands clasped together on their foreheads, tears streaming down their faces.
"Mother Tree above, please continue to bless your beast-people offspring..."
"Mother Tree, the Giant Rabbit Clan, will forever follow you."
"..."
Jiang Xi could sense that the mother tree of this vine had become much more vibrant.
Mary and Rose prayed inside the tree trunk for a very long time.
Such wholehearted devotion moved even Jiang Xi.
Looking at the glowing vines, she thought, surely no living being could remain unmoved, even if they were gods.
They, them.
Jiang Xi confirmed that the Mother Tree of Life was a conscious life form.
Furthermore, each tribe's mother tree possesses its own independent life consciousness.
They bless their people by drawing upon the power of the source.
But now, the world is filled with the power of a curse, and they can no longer draw upon the primal power. They will also dissipate into the world and will no longer be able to protect their people...
Jiang Xi did not disturb Mary and Rose's prayers.
She stepped out of the giant tree and looked at the sky outside.
The power of curses...
Then why was I able to break through the curse and draw upon a trace of their primal power to sustain their lives?
"What...am I?"
This was the first time Jiang Xi had this question.
Her life, the apocalypse in her memories, became the cursed and corrupted Jiang Xi, who shared the same name.
What is real and what is fake in all of this? What is her connection with the power of the curse?
She even absurdly thought that she was the curse, which was why she could break free from it and remain unaffected by it.
"My lady, dinner is ready."
Nafi's voice rang out, pulling Jiang Xi back to reality from the void.
"Naffel".
Jiang Xi looked at him, her eyes filled with confusion and a barely perceptible vulnerability.
She went over to him, hugged him, and buried her face in his chest.
Nafiel is her beastly husband; in his presence, she can be vulnerable, confused, uneasy, and afraid.
"Naffel, I'm scared."
The unknown scares me.
What would happen if the Mother Tree of Life died?
She didn't know.
But as far as she knew, if the mother tree did not purify the curse power of the females, the females would give birth to cursed and deformed beast eggs, and the beastmen would gradually riot, lose their minds, and become cursed beasts under the influence of the curse power.
Nafiel wrapped his arms around the female master, rested his chin on the top of her head, gently rubbed it, and whispered.
"Don't be afraid, Mistress, Nafer will always be here for you."
As Jiang Xi listened to his voice and felt his embrace, the sense of emptiness gradually disappeared and was replaced by a sense of reality.
It feels so good to be standing on solid ground.
"Naffel, do you know Regina?"
Nafi shook his head. "Never heard of it."
Jiang Xi said "Oh," which was the answer she had expected.
But the mother tree of the giant rabbit clan is really something, only giving her a name but not a location, where is she supposed to find it?
She later tried to reconnect to the other party, but no sound came through.
She could only guess that perhaps transmitting words required a huge amount of her essence? That was why she was so sparing with her words.
During this time, she also asked the beastmen and females of the Giant Rabbit tribe, but everyone looked blank and did not know the name.
At lunchtime, Hill returned with the information Jiang Xi wanted.
Jiang Xi was eating when she listened to Hill talk about things on the border.
“Five…” she said thoughtfully.
It seems that the beastmen of the Lion's Roar tribe have all returned, or stayed with the Spring Lai tribe, and did not accompany the royal court.
That's fine too. A group of third-tier and second-tier orcs are indeed like mayflies trying to shake a tree in front of the sea creatures, completely ineffective.
On the contrary, if something really happens and we need to run away, it will be inconvenient to run away with them.
Hill already knew from the female tree that the mother tree was out of danger.
He looked at the female envoy, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
Jiang Xi didn't notice that she was holding up the wooden plaque that Hill had brought back, turning it over and over.
Wang Ting...
Perhaps, the mother tree in the royal court can offer her more answers...
