Chapter 354 Site Selection for the Mother Tree
The mother tree was delivered to the tribe at noon.
The orcs of the Wild Fox tribe are leading the Mother Tree to choose a location within the tribe. They made an appointment with Jiang Xi to come and help in the afternoon.
Riley: "What a shame~"
The leader and the chief female looked at Riley, then at the female envoy, and instantly understood what was going on.
No wonder the Tree God Tribe was willing to open an inn in the Lion Roar Tribe!
So it was for the female's sake!
After understanding the cause and effect, they relaxed and their smiles returned to normal.
"If you need any help when building the hotel, just come to us. Lion Roar Tribe will give you our full support!"
This is the first major investment that Lion Roar Tribe has attracted. The tribe will definitely cooperate fully to build its reputation and strive to attract more tribes to settle in, so that Lion Roar Tribe can develop!
After the small meeting, the leader, accompanied by some orcs, went with Riley to confirm the land.
Bawa led the orcs, along with Yiyuexi and Hill, to inspect the planting land.
Jiang Xi took Lu Liufeng, Mu Ling, and Duan Si to plant the mother tree, while Huo Lun stayed behind to look after the house and recuperate.
After leaving home, she hadn't walked far when she discovered that the Guardian Wall was crowded with orcs and females, and she could faintly hear cheers coming from below.
Jiang Xi looked up in confusion.
"What are they doing?"
Moreover, females were previously not allowed to climb the wall, but now there is a protective light curtain, so there is no need to worry about contamination.
Duan Si: "The tribe's dueling arena is located outside the wall."
"It should be Ryukas fighting Nafiel and Nakan."
Jiang Xi remained silent for a few moments.
"You mean... the dueling arena? The dueling arena is located in the cursed land!?"
Mu Ling showed a hint of interest.
"Really? That's so exciting!"
Jiang Xi tapped him.
"Exciting my foot!"
"If we encounter a cursed beast that attacks from the shadows, they'll be in for a world of hurt!"
Just then, several orcs ran past her excitedly, discussing as they ran.
"The Lion's Roar Tribe's dueling arena is so interesting! It perfectly matches the style of the Cursed Lands!"
"Now that's what a duel should be like!!"
"Wild enough! Cursed enough!!"
Jiang Xi: "..."
Count the birds, count the birds.
Since the leader set up the duel arena outside, he must have taken the cursed beasts into consideration and wouldn't be so reckless.
Natali laughed.
“Building a separate dueling arena is too much trouble, and it would require regular maintenance. It’s better to just set it up in the open air. The Cursed Lands are spacious, and this area under the wall is relatively safe, so we’ll just set it up outside.”
Jiang Xi smiled and nodded.
It seems that the protective light barrier really gives the tribe a great sense of security.
Just then, a fox-clan boy ran up from the end of the stone path, panting and shouting.
"Female messenger, the mother tree has chosen a suitable location!"
Jiang Xi was somewhat surprised, "So fast?"
The boy nodded, blushing slightly as he smiled.
"They are already on their way."
"Come over here? Did the mother tree choose this side of the river?"
The boy nodded again.
A short while later, a slightly larger, mixed-colored fox appeared at the end of the road. He carried a box on his back that was two or three times his size, from which a faint, luminous green light emanated.
Grandma Donna, leaning on her cane, was helped forward by Elder Daniel. Behind them followed the female and young beastmen of the Fox Clan, as well as some curious beastmen and females from the Lion Roar Tribe.
When Grandma Donna saw the female messenger, she raised her hand high and waved.
"Female Messenger."
Jiang Xi quickly walked over.
"Be careful, be careful, walk slowly, walk slowly."
It's not easy for an elderly person who is over two hundred years old to personally go and plant the mother tree.
Sen walked beside her and, seeing the female envoy approaching, smiled.
"The mother tree wants to be closer to you."
Jiang Xi blinked.
"ah?"
"Closer to me? Does that mean plant it on my side?"
Sen nodded.
Jiang Xi: "But... there aren't any secluded places around here."
She had seen the mother trees of several tribes, either inside the trees or in the cracks of rocks.
Even the wild fox tribe lives in a depression on the mountaintop.
In short, the main point is to avoid being seen by others.
Donna said, "As long as it can get closer to the female, the mother tree is willing to be exposed to the outside."
Jiang Xi scratched her head and said to the large wooden box.
“Even if it’s not close to me, I will still go over regularly to help you with your grooming.”
She knew the mother tree could hear her.
The large wooden crate shook.
Donna said, "The mother tree hopes the female will not work too hard."
Jiang Xi thought for a moment.
"Alright then, you guys go and see if there's anywhere else we can stay nearby."
"However, the area along my route has been claimed by the Tree God Tribe and is being developed. The mother tree may have to move to the right bank of the river."
At this point, she reiterated.
"The Tree God Tribe wants to open an inn there. There will be many people every day. Don't you mind?"
The tall fox carrying the large wooden box stopped and turned its head to look back.
This time, Donna had a different answer.
She hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
The mother tree asked, "Can I live inside the icon?"
Jiang Xi had a feeling that she had expected this answer.
The mother trees, as always, don't like being exposed.
"Can."
She didn't hesitate.
"But you'll have to figure out a way to hollow out this part of the icon."
Soon, the group changed direction and headed towards the icon.
Jiang Xi looked at the statue and thought to herself, "Now, there's no way to remove it."
However, it's still a huge win for the tribe to have the Mother Tree!
Icon Square is very large.
Since the Mother Tree was going to settle here, Grandma Dona, Sen, and the First Female Natali discussed it and decided to build another ring of buildings around the statue to prevent the orcs and females from accidentally entering and disturbing the Mother Tree.
Natali nodded naturally; even with another ring of buildings added, Iconoclasm would still be very large.
Standing beneath the statue, Jiang Xi looked at the perfectly sealed image and felt somewhat helpless.
Where should we begin?
"How can we get the mother tree inside?"
Sen looked at Lu Liufeng, "Can you help me?"
Lu Liufeng nodded and walked over.
A vertical line was drawn on the drooping skirt of the Mori pilgrimage statue.
"Let's do it here. It doesn't need to be too big, just big enough for the females to come and go."
Lu Liufeng turned to look at the female master, seeking her consent.
Jiang Xi nodded: "Just do as he says."
Using his wind-based abilities, Lu Liufeng quickly cleaved a crack-like entrance under the skirt between the statue's legs. Following Sen's description, he crawled inside and dug out some soil from under the statue.
Jiang Xi stood outside, watching them crawl in and out between the statue's legs, bustling about, and felt a strange sense of embarrassment, as if they were crawling between her own legs.
A short while later, a hole was dug out under the statue.
The beastmen of the Forest and Wild Fox tribe carefully dismantled the wooden box after filling the hole with the soil from where the mother tree had once taken root.
The mother tree inside the wooden box was dimly lit, on its deathbed, and had shrunk considerably.
Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment.
What happened?
Grandma Donna looked up at the sky, then at the protective light screen, and sighed.
"The Lion's Roar tribe is too close to the Cursed Land, and the rate at which the Mother Tree's essence is being consumed is accelerating."
Jiang Xi also looked up at the light screen.
Just as she was about to sigh, she suddenly heard exclamations and screams coming from the wall.
"ah--"
