Chapter 82: Changes, Little Dumpling is sad
"This is a characteristic of our race. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." After rebuking Yuan Qingzhou, Xiao Wang happily nudged Ye Yuxi, "Xixi, I am Jianmu. There is a passage in the palace. I can leave at any time, but I don't know where it leads to."
"Are we leaving now?" Xiao Wang asked again.
"Let's go back and see Auntie and ask her if she wants to leave?"
Yuan Qingzhou had no objection.
A small yellow flower appeared in Ye Yuxi's hand. Before Yuan Qingzhou could ask what it was, he saw the small cloud getting bigger and bigger, and Ye Yuxi jumped directly on it.
"Zhou Zhou, come up."
Yuan Qingzhou: ...
I understand, it's a flying magic weapon, but as a grown man, he feels a little embarrassed to ride on such a cute flying magic weapon. What should he do?
"Come up quickly." Ye Yuxi waved her little hand to urge.
"Xixi, I have Xiaoxue." Yuan Qingzhou refused.
"But Xiao Wang said that there is not enough spiritual energy outside, which is not good for Xiaoxue." Ye Yuxi naturally knew that Xiaoxue was a big snow-white lion.
After hesitating for a while, Yuan Qingzhou still got on Ye Yuxi's little flower.
The two flew out of the forest. This time the forest was no longer dark and cold. The sun was shining, and vitality was gradually returning.
There was no sign of monsters either.
Occasionally you can hear a bird singing.
Hongguo and Jiji came out and kept rubbing Ye Yuxi's little face. They were very worried.
Yuan Qingzhou released Xiaoxue as well. Xiaoxue turned into a palm-sized kitten and also stuck to Ye Yuxi.
The spiritual energy is there, but it is still very weak. The farther away from the palace, the thinner the spiritual energy is.
In Xiao Wang's words, this recovery will take time, it won't be that fast.
"You said you were Jianmu?" Yuan Qingzhou just remembered what Jianmu was and his voice broke. "The Jianmu that is said to be able to grow to the Ninth Heaven?"
Xiao Wang twisted his entire tree, seeming a little embarrassed, "It seems to be true, but I'm still young and can't do it. It may take a long, long time."
This is what its heritage tells it.
"Xixi, what kind of luck is this for you?" Yuan Qingzhou sighed.
Not only is it a plant pet, but it is also a legendary ancient sacred tree.
Yuan Qingzhou did not doubt that Xiao Wang was not the one. After all, his tremendous vitality and everything that had just happened were enough to prove it.
And the little Wang has just hatched.
It is difficult to judge after it has hatched, as the ancient sacred tree is also a plant.
Ye Yuxi smiled very happily. Xiao Wang came out. She just realized that those spirit stones were not enough. If it weren’t for the power here, Xiao Wang would need many more spirit stones.
Save a lot of money.
My junior brother said that saving money is also making money.
Also, I can finally go out.
When they flew out of the forest, the guards had disappeared and they flew straight towards the village.
After a while, we arrived at the village.
From a distance, the village was very quiet. No sound could be heard and no one could be seen.
The children who usually played and the people who usually gossiped at the entrance of the village were all gone.
Ye Yuxi felt a little uneasy.
She sped up again. There was no one in Tiger Mother's stone house, nor in the other houses.
"Where did they all go?" Ye Yuxi asked.
"Xixi, let's go to the ancestral hall." Yuan Qingzhou remembered something and said immediately.
Ye Yuxi drove Xiaohua to the ancestral hall without any hesitation.
Before I got close to the ancestral hall, I heard bursts of low roars.
Speed up again.
At the entrance of the ancestral hall, there are countless humanoid monsters wearing villagers' clothes, and Tiger Girl is confronting them.
What's going on?
"Xixi, don't go over there, I'll go over there." Yuan Qingzhou jumped off Xiaohua and took a few steps to Tiger Mother's side.
The monster became agitated when he saw the stranger, but Tiger Lady shouted and the monster calmed down.
Ye Yuxi also came to Tiger Mother's side.
"You guys hurry up and leave." Tiger Mother stared at the monster without even looking at Ye Yuxi and the others.
"Auntie, let's go together." Ye Yuxi went to grab Tiger Mother's clothes.
There was a trace of sadness in Tigress's eyes, and she said calmly, "You guys go away and don't come here again."
"What happened?" Yuan Qingzhou asked.
"That's what you saw. The villagers have also turned into monsters." Tigress's tone remained calm. "They still have a little consciousness. Once the consciousness disappears completely, they will kill you."
"Why?" Ye Yuxi murmured, "Didn't they want to go out? Why did it become like this?"
No matter how calm Ye Yuxi is, she has limited life experience and as a young person she doesn't understand these things.
I have never seen these before.
"It has already become a monster," said Tigress. "That's why the chief doesn't allow villagers to leave. We have lived here for too long, and we have become like this place."
Seeing that Ye Yuxi and the others were not leaving, Tiger Mother told them what was happening here.
I heard that their ancestors came here accidentally, and their original living place was normal.
Later, there was an earthquake and their ancestors woke up and found themselves here.
The vitality here is weak, and they can only grow a little bit of food. When the food is not enough, they turn their attention to monsters.
For countless generations, people have been fighting against monsters.
Their biggest wish is to get away from here.
But one day, an unknown clan leader discovered that the villagers were no longer human but monsters, and the clan leaders from generation to generation decided that they were not allowed to go out.
But the villagers didn't know this.
They also want to go out, yearning for a life outside with sunshine and plenty of food.
“That was the time I realized,” Tiger Lady said, “that the ancestral hall has an inexplicable power that can keep people sane.”
Ye Yuxi suddenly grabbed Xiao Wang and said, "Xiao Wang, can you make them normal?"
"No, Xixi," Xiao Wang checked and said, "They are different from small animals. If I take action, they will die, but their souls will be clean."
Tigress's eyes suddenly lit up.
"You said you could free us from this curse?"
Ye Yuxi then noticed that part of Tigress's skin had turned bluish-gray, making her look more like a monster.
"Sure." Xiao Wang replied.
"Aunt, I'm sorry." Ye Yuxi felt guilty. Was it because of her that this happened?
Tiger Lady smiled, her weapon pointed at the villagers. She couldn't hug Ye Yuxi or touch Ye Yuxi.
"It's not your fault. Something went wrong with the ancestral hall. That's why they became like this." Tigress's rough voice was unexpectedly gentle. "Someone destroyed the ancestral hall and wanted to get out."
Yuan Qingzhou said: "Xixi, that power hasn't arrived yet, it will probably take a while."
If there was no problem with the ancestral hall, Yuan Qingzhou guessed that the villagers might be able to recover little by little.
But this is just speculation.
"But Xixi is sad." Ye Yuxi didn't know why, but she was sad.
Tigress's body was becoming more and more transformed. "Xixi, help us."
Ye Yuxi looked at Tiger Mother, and then at the villagers who occasionally showed a look of desire.
She saw the monster in the chief's clothes mouthing to her: "Help us."
"Xiao Wang, come here." Ye Yuxi said softly.
The little Wang floats in the air and grows to one meter high, emitting a gentle power from the tree.
