Chapter 242 Becoming a tree god? Never mind, I'm not interested. I'd rather stay with Li Mei.
"I'm sorry, Great Elder."
"Great Elder, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Gu Jing."
Gu Jing and Gu Ba bent down to admit their mistakes; their expressions were sincere and their tones were respectful.
The long vine and ancient tree glanced at Gu Jing and Gu Ba, then slowly shifted its gaze to Gu Di and Ye Li.
"Come in, everyone."
Ye Li quickly walked to Gu Di and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he had no injuries.
…
"You mean, you want the blessing of the tree god." The great elder sat lazily in the chair, his long silver hair draped around his waist, his slender white hands folded together.
There was no trace of time on his delicate, white jade face, and it was hard to imagine that he had lived for thousands of years.
"That's right." Gu Di nodded gently, his dark green eyes full of seriousness. He held Ye Li's hand tightly, with a hint of nervousness in his heart.
"That's not impossible, but it's not that easy to get the blessing of the tree god. You have to complete three tests."
"If you successfully pass these three tests, I will take you to see the tree god immediately."
When the tree god was mentioned, a trace of sadness flashed across the eyes of the great elder. The tree god's illness had accumulated for a long time, and it was likely that he would not live long.
He must hurry up and find the next most suitable candidate for the tree god as soon as possible, otherwise he will have to do it himself.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to be a tree god. His talent level aperture is only 12, which can barely convey the power of blessing, but it will cause some damage to himself.
It would be better to give the position of tree god to a tree spirit with a talent level of 12 or above.
(The higher the tree spirit's talent level, the better the effect of transmitting the power of blessing, and the less damage to itself. For tree spirits with a talent level of more than 15, transmitting the power of blessing is not only harmless but also helpful.)
"Which three tests?" Gu Di instantly became excited. If he could successfully complete these three tests, would that mean that he and Ye Li could truly be together? Gu Di felt excited just thinking about it.
The great elder Gu Yan waved his right hand lightly, and then a two-meter by three-meter door appeared behind Ye Li and the others.
"As long as the two of you can successfully survive in there for a month, I will consider you to have passed the assessment."
Ye Li turned around and stared at the door in front of her that was emitting a strong spatial force. She tentatively stretched out a finger and felt the touch of water waves.
Can I pass the first test by staying in there for a month? It takes a long time, but it is acceptable.
Gu Yan gently raised his hand to stop Ye Li and the others from going in, "Wait, before that I want to personally test your talent level as a long vine ancient tree."
"Is there any benefit in measuring talent level?" Gu Di frowned slightly. The fact that Gu Ba had just measured his talent level had left him with some psychological trauma.
"If your talent level can exceed 12, you can compete to become the next tree god." Gu Yan's words revealed seven points of pride, as if becoming a tree god was such an honorable thing.
In fact, it is indeed very glorious. After becoming a tree god, you will have extremely high power and can drive the ancient tree people at will, but it also means that the tree god needs to serve the people, such as conveying the power of blessings.
"Become a tree god? Never mind. I'm not interested. Sister Li, let's go." After saying that, Gu Di turned around and pulled Ye Li into the secret realm without further ado.
Instead of being some tree god, he might as well stay with Ye Li forever.
"Hey..." Don't go... The position of the tree god is very popular, and there are several candidates waiting to compete...
Gu Yan watched Ye Li and Gu Di step into the secret realm. If he had known, he would have opened the door for them after the test.
His sight shifted, and Gu Yan saw An Yu also raising his leg and about to step into the portal. He lightly raised his finger to close the portal.
"White Cat Orc, this is prepared by the tree gods of all generations for the two parties who are about to sign a partnership contract. Don't go in."
An Yu felt a sense of emptiness in his heart as he watched the portal that was so close to him suddenly disappear.
He came here just to get close to Ye Li, improve Ye Li's favorability and complete the task, so why was he suddenly asked to wait outside by himself?
For the long vines and ancient trees, a month is just a blink of an eye, but for the orcs... it is still quite long.
Seeing An Yu's unhappy expression, Gu Yan said to comfort her.
"Our ancient vine tree has a large territory. You can wander around as much as you want during this month, or you can go to the Wanhua Valley next door to pick out the female you like."
Gu Yan did not sense the scent of a partner's mark on An Yu, so he concluded that An Yu was still single.
Hearing this, An Yu shook his head, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He decided to forget about visiting the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. If he accidentally got involved with other females, then his mission to capture Ye Li would be a failure.
However, it is also nice to stroll around the Changteng Ancient Tree Clan and see if you can trigger some hidden tasks along the way.
…
There is also a dense forest inside the secret realm, but the trees here look much safer than those outside.
Gu Di manipulated the vines to strangle a wild boar to death, and then began to process its fur and internal organs.
Although she said she didn't need to eat, as a female fox, Ye Li should consume some fresh meat.
"The Great Elder told us to pass the test if we can spend a month here. It's been seven days and we haven't encountered any danger. It seems that this test is not difficult."
Ye Li silently watched Gu Di's series of smooth and skillful movements. The wild boar that was just killed by Gu Di had already reached the peak of the eighth level, but it was almost powerless against Gu Di.
So we can’t say that this test is too easy. We can only say that Gu Di is too strong and the current danger does not pose a threat to him.
The "invigilator" who was silently observing Ye Li and Gu Di was sweating.
He has already released a peak level 8 beast, yet Gu Di is still able to handle it so easily. Could it be that he is really going to release those level 9 monsters?
The task assigned to him by the Great Elder was to put Gu Di and the other two in a desperate situation to see whether they would redeem each other or betray and abandon each other, but now it seems that his task has made basically no progress.
He turned around and waved to the tribesmen who were helping him, and whispered, "Invite Gu Ming over here and create some crisis for them."
As if he felt it was unsafe, he continued, "Call Gu An and Gu Xia to help."
Gu Ming, Gu An, and Gu Xia's cultivation is all above level nine, and their talent levels are all above 12. They are the three most popular candidates for the next Tree God.
It is always better to send out your own people than those monsters that are difficult to control. With Gu Ming and the others around, he doesn't believe that he cannot complete this mission.
