Suddenly, Wan Xu, who was talking to Huo Qilin, saw Zhang Mu standing beside him and asked casually, "Is this the newcomer this time?"
"Look for yourself. It should be someone from your vine tribe. Although he is a little silly, he is quite humble."
Huo Qilin patted Zhang Mu on the shoulder and introduced him to Wan Xu. However, Wan Xu looked at Zhang Mu and did not make any comments. It seemed that he did not have much expectations for him to enter the Era Battlefield now.
"I say, old ghost Wanxu, when will you tell the Queen to find someone else to do the job of receiving people? I want to move my old bones. My current job is too comfortable. I still want to go out and fight."
Huo Qilin suddenly looked at Wanxu and said, "You are a fourth-level person, and you can see the queen. I really have no choice. The queen is too busy and I don't want to spend too much effort to find her. As for you, just mention it to me next time you see her. It doesn't matter how long Mu Tou sleeps. You know me. I feel bored after the novelty wears off at the beginning."
It turns out that Wanxu, the patriarch of the Vine Clan, is a powerful warrior in the early fourth stage. However, Huo Qilin did not show any restraint when talking to him. It should be because they have a good relationship.
Wan Xu seemed to be smiling, but the vine mask on his face prevented Zhang Mu from seeing his expression.
"You old ghost also get lonely sometimes. Why is it that when I'm not around, Mutou does nothing but sleep. Do you think it's boring?"
Huo Qilin glanced at him unhappily, "What do you think? That retirement plan is good, but it's not suitable for me. Although I'm only at the peak of the third level, I still have the means to protect myself on the battlefield if I don't fight against a fourth-level warrior. Don't go off topic, just ask if you can help me with this."
Wan Xu coughed dryly and replied decisively, "Help, why not? You've already ordered me to do so. I'll mention something to the Queen after the battle meeting. Didn't she ask you to stay here peacefully because of her explosive temper? Didn't she offend the big shots of your clan as soon as she came in?"
When this was mentioned, Huo Qilin became angry and said angrily, "Who is from the same clan as those worthless people? I feel so ashamed. I have made up my mind. When the time comes, I will come directly to your clan and help you. I will never go back.
What the hell are you? A bunch of snobs. Level 4 is so great!"
The fact that the third-level peak Fire Kirin actually dared to lose his temper at the fourth-level Wanxu was enough to show that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.
Wan Xu saw that his old friend was angry, so he smiled and said nothing.
When Huo Qilin seemed to have calmed down, Wan Xu spoke up, "Old Ghost Huo, please stop making such a fuss. It's your character that caused all the trouble. Okay, I will definitely help you. You can go back after you send the person off."
"What? Are you still chasing me away? Are we going to end our friendship of several hundred years?"
When Huo Qilin heard that Wanxu wanted to drive him away, he immediately raised his eyebrows in anger and cursed, "How many new people can enter the Epoch Battlefield now? Even if one really happens to come, we still need two
A peak level 3 player serving as a guide for him?"
Waving his hands irritably, Huo Qilin suddenly had an idea and said, "I won't go back. I will stay here until you and the Queen have agreed. This will save me the trouble of rushing back and forth."
Without allowing Wan Xu to object, Huo Qilin pulled Zhang Mu, who was staring blankly at the quarrel between the two old men, away from Wan Xu, leaving the latter with helpless shaking of his head.
As for Zhang Mu, Wan Xu didn't take him seriously at all. He was in the early stage of the fourth level, an ordinary peak of the third level, and there was nothing worthy of your attention. Moreover, he entered the Epoch Battlefield so late.
Fire Kirin is an exception. If anyone else were to be so unruly in front of him, being beaten back to his original form would be the least of his worries.
"I'll find you a nice empty tree house. After all, you're also a newcomer brought back by Fire Kirin. If you get into trouble in the future, just tell me my name."
Zhang Mu nodded in agreement, but he was worried in his heart.
Listening to the conversation between him and the leader of the Vine Tribe just now, it seems that the Fire Kirin has gotten himself into a big trouble, and seems to be the one in power among the fourth-level strongmen. As a guide, he was originally exiled to the frontier.
If something really happened, Zhang Mu felt that the chances of worse consequences would be higher if he reported his name as Fire Kirin.
After sending Zhang Mu to the door of a brand new tree house, Huo Qilin looked at the young boy in front of him and sighed.
"Don't you think that Wanxu, your clan leader, is particularly easy to talk to, and he doesn't have a bad temper despite his strength at the early stage of the fourth level."
Seeing Zhang Mu nod, Huo Qilin immediately shook his head and said, "Don't think like that. Wan Xu is not someone you can easily mess with. You must respect him. Of course, he deserves your respect. He is very protective of his own people. You will know this in the future."
Huo Qilin looked at the tree house on the core giant tree in the distance and said, "Why can I be so presumptuous and ignore the difference in rank between us? He doesn't care either. It's because I am his companion tree!"
No wonder!
This makes sense since Fire Kirin and Wanxu had a companion relationship before they transformed into human form.
They were companions.
"That......"
Seeing Zhang Mu's confusion, Huo Qilin said disappointedly, "You want to know why he is at the early stage of the fourth level and I am at the peak of the third level, right?"
Zhang Mu nodded, and Huo Qilin said with a wry smile, "Because of blood."
“Although I am his companion tree, I am the one that provides him with nutrition.
I am just an ordinary Fire Maple. My bloodline is far inferior to his, and my talent is not as good as his. Perhaps it is his contribution that helped me reach the peak of the third level."
The tone of voice reflects the helplessness towards fate and the unwillingness to be born with a different starting point.
Bloodline?
This point deeply touched Zhang Mu's heart, and he himself was the best example.
He has no awakening ability;
He had nothing, and he had built everything on his own.
Whether in the afterlife or in this life, he has no awakening ability. He may be the one who should be eliminated the most.
But he didn't, and he, Zhang Mu, is still alive today!
Relying on the identity of a merchant in the era, he struggled in the later lives and has a smooth life in this life. It was all his own struggle just to refuse to accept this unfair fate.
If you don’t have the ability to awaken, then I will take it away!
If I don’t have Yuanjing, then I will earn it!
At this moment, Zhang Mu seemed to be a different person. He looked directly at the Fire Kirin in front of him and said, "Bloodline does not determine everything."
Huo Qilin looked at Zhang Mu in surprise, shook his head and said, "You are still too young. You will understand when you grow up a little."
Zhang Mu, whose deepest soul was touched by the stubbornness, stared at Fire Kirin with a resounding voice.
“Being old is not an excuse to give up fighting. When we were young, we knew we had to fight, but when we got older, we felt we couldn’t fight anymore. We gave up, not because our bodies couldn’t bear the pressure of fate.
It's because you have lost your young heart bit by bit."
Huo Qilin wanted to say something, but Zhang Mu did not give him a chance to speak and questioned him.
"If bloodline and talent can determine who wins and who loses, then why do we need to use battles to select people? Why do we need to build this epoch battlefield? Wouldn't it be better to just test the bloodline directly?"
Huo Qilin was speechless after being asked by Zhang Mu. He was stunned for a while before realizing that the person who was teaching him a lesson was a young boy. He laughed and scolded, "I am already so old, but I was stumped by your question. You are not honest. You look stupid, but you actually know everything."
It’s over, it’s over!
Too immersed in the play!
When Zhang Mu was thinking of an excuse to cover up the past, Huo Qilin smiled and patted Zhang Mu on the shoulder and said, "Actually, what you said makes sense. It's good to be a little bit more camouflaged. I just don't know how to restrain my edge, so I was suppressed by others.
You should have a good rest, because you may be asked to go to the battlefield tomorrow. The war may break out at any time, so be prepared.
You'd better be careful. Your strength will not have much impact on the battle situation. If it is not necessary, just do it if you can."
Watching the Fire Kirin gradually going away, Zhang Mu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Although he knew that the Fire Kirin was a mutated Fire Maple, at that moment, Zhang Mu treated him as a living person.
In fact, these mutated plants all have souls, and after they transform into human form, they also have flesh and blood.
Compared to some humans, the souls of these mutated plants seem to be cleaner, otherwise he would not have let down his guard and expressed his thoughts when he was touched.
For the first time, Zhang Mu felt a little confused.
