Counting from the day they entered the Black Forest, after twenty days, Yan Mo and his party finally reached the junction of the Black Forest and Qingyuan Lake.
Afterwards, detour south along the shore of Qingyuan Lake, which is as big as the inner sea, and you will reach the territory of Jiuyuan.
When more than three hundred people came out of the forest and saw the shimmering lake, they cheered, as if people who had been imprisoned for many days were finally free. Many people couldn't wait to go to the lake to wash their faces. There are also streams in the forest, but how can those streams and pools compare to this endless blue sky and green lake
Yan Mo can fully understand their actions and moods, not to mention these people who have never lived in the forest, even he who often followed guides into deep mountains and old forests in his previous life, almost couldn't bear it.
Black Forest, Black Forest, Yan Mo didn't understand why this place was called Black Forest until he had gone through this journey.
The denseness of the plants inside completely surpassed any forest he had seen or entered in his previous life. For more than half a month, he shuttled through the dense forest every day, and he could only see fragments of sunlight when he looked up. Sometimes the trees grew too dense , It's cloudy during the day, not to mention the night. In addition, there are too many tall trees, and the surroundings are always surrounded by similar scenery. After walking for a long time, people are prone to confusion and depression, and even become suspicious. When children wake up to pee at night, they often cry out of fear. Adults dare not leave crowded places.
If it wasn't for him noticing something was wrong, trying to relax everyone's emotions all the way, and kept saying that he should get out soon, I am afraid that even if there were no attacks from wild beasts and other races, how many of the more than 300 people would come out in the end would really matter. is an unknown.
Although Yan Mo has been comforting others, in fact he is the most nervous one.
He still couldn't fully trust the old Sama and the Feng family, not because of their race, he was equally wary of anyone and any intelligent creature. Even Jiu Feng gained his trust after living together for quite a long time.
It wasn't until today that he finally walked out of the Black Forest and saw the vast and boundless Qingyuan Lake that he slowly let out a breath of gloom. At least for now, he has nothing to worry about.
Seeing that he didn't keep up, Yuan Zhan explained to the man next to him, turned around and walked back.
"Take people farther away, and camp by the lake in the evening to rest. I will stay in the forest for a while. You don't have to wait for me. I will go back to the tribe after I solve the problem." Yan Mo stood in the shadow of the trees and said.
Yuan Zhan standing in the sun seemed to dislike this kind of boundary very much. He took the initiative to walk into the darkness, walked to Yan Mo's side and stopped, his eyes subconsciously fell to Yan Mo's lower abdomen, and his lips were stretched into a straight line.
"This problem must be resolved." Yan Mo explained. When Yuan Zhan woke up that morning, he also explained to him about the fruit of witch luck. As the leader of the tribe, Yuan Zhan had to tell him about this matter, but he changed his statement a little, and only said that he wanted to cultivate the fruit of witch luck Incarnate as the Son of Life needs the help of old Sama.
"You really don't want to kill our children?"
Yan Mo's eyelids twitched, "...how many times have I told you that the son of life is not your son!"
"Don't kill him." Yuan Zhan, who always gave people a sense of viciousness and cruelty, showed a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Yan Mo had nothing to say to this man. Ever since he told him that if the fruit of witch luck was cultivated properly, he could become the Child of Destiny, this animal believed that this fruit was given to him and his child by the ancestor god!
"Don't follow! Take someone away!"
Yuan Zhan stopped in his tracks and watched Yan Mo walk into the forest, his face instantly darkened terribly.
He never told Mo that since he woke up that day, whenever he approached Mo at night, he would hear the voice of a child crying for help. That child couldn't speak yet, but his cries were full of fear, he was afraid that Momo would kill him! Don't ask him how he knows, he can feel it anyway! Maybe it's father-son nature
After getting along for so long, he knew very well that his lord priest was by no means as simple and honest as his face, let alone a soft-hearted person. And Mo has always wanted to leave him, once he has a child, he has a weakness, if he were Mo, he would not let this child come into the world.
Yes, he was suspicious of his lord priest, suspecting that he didn't want to breed the children of life at all, but intended to kill their children.
He couldn't allow his priests to do this. This was his first child, and he was He Mo's child. This was a gift from the ancestor gods. Maybe there would be no such opportunity in the future. He had to keep this child!
But what is he going to do
Yuan Zhan stared at the direction where Yan Mo's figure disappeared, not letting him follow? hum! Is he Yuan Zhan such an obedient person
What did his priest say? It also depends on what the order is!
Yuan Zhan turned his head around, he had to go and tell Xiong to go farther and set up camp to wait for them, and then he would say hello to the mermaid in Qingyuan Lake.
Yan Mo had no idea that his family's animals had been deluded by another consciousness of the Fruit of Witch Luck, let alone what kind of misfortune this would bring to him. Too lazy to talk to Yuan Zhan anymore, he just retreated to the woods and waited for the old Sama to appear.
Old Sama soon appeared.
"You came so fast, you won't be following us all the time, right?" Yan Mo joked.
Old Sama laughed, "My root system has spread all over the bottom of this forest. As long as I am in this forest, I can appear anywhere at any time."
Yan Mo was speechless for a while, how big is this black forest? They walked in the forest for twenty days before they came out. This was the result of walking a straight road. There were many women and children, and the forest was not easy to walk. However, the Maple tribe secretly moved trees to make way for them. You can also walk about 25 kilometers. After 20 days, you will be 500 kilometers.
Judging from the map provided by the guide, this distance is only a small part of the Black Forest near Qingyuan Lake, and there is a big tail behind it, and that big tail is beyond the display range of the map.
Old Sama's roots are all over the entire forest, so it really won't be too easy for him to kill them! Should he be thankful that the other party has a big heart, or should he be thankful that he has a fruit of witch luck in his stomach
what! The fruit of witch luck is indeed the fruit that brings luck to witches.
Yan Mo suddenly thought of something, "Then I think you must know a kind of humanoid with gray-green skin and short stature."
"You mean the Chi family?" The smile in old Sama's voice disappeared.
"I don't know the name of the other party, but I have seen them, about as high as my waist, with sharp teeth, can use tools, simple language, brutal nature, and likes to eat people."
"That's them." Old Sama's voice was full of displeasure, "That's a greedy race, causing great harm in the Black Forest."
"You and the Maple Clan drove them out of the Black Forest?"
"No, although they are greedy, they don't dare to enter the center of the Black Forest, and they don't dare to provoke our Maple Clan easily. They usually live in the forest near Longbei Mountain. I'm also very strange. One day, they seemed to be They ran into the depths of the forest in a panic as if they had encountered a terrifying natural enemy. I wanted to expel them, but they ran out of the black forest by themselves."
"You don't know why?"
Old Sama shook his head, "I went to the place where they lived, and I didn't see any signs of being attacked."
"Did anyone pass or pass through the Black Forest during that time?" Yan Mo felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
Old Sama shook his head again, "Occasionally, humans would come from the Father God Mountain to cross the Black Forest, or hunt and collect herbs by the forest, but during that time, no intelligent creatures entered the Black Forest, which may have scared the Chi clan. If they just passed by the edge of the wood where they lived, it would be hard for me to know who they were if I didn't pay special attention."
This is a mystery, Yan Mo sees that he can't know the answer, so he can only put it in his heart temporarily.
Old Sama also took this matter to heart because of Yan Mo's question this time, and planned to search carefully in and around the place where the Chi tribe once lived. But these are all things to be done in the future. The first thing it needs to solve now is a certain dishonest child who is hiding underground and eavesdropping.
Although the fifth-level fighter is powerful, it is just a slightly stronger child to it, not to mention that the earth-type fighters will always suffer a bit when they encounter the wood-type immortals.
Old Sama smiled, since you are fortunate enough to have merged with the living species of my Maple Clan, then let's experience the power of the Wood Element below.
Yan Mo didn't know that Yuan Zhan followed in, he was still thinking about other issues.
"Are you afraid?" Old Sama, who was fighting a fifth-level fighter under his feet, couldn't help asking with a smile when he saw that Yan Mo hadn't proposed to let him plant branches for him.
"A little bit." Yan Mo said truthfully.
"If you're scared, don't do it, maybe..."
"No!" Before the old Sama finished speaking, Yan Mo interrupted it: "I have already decided, come on!"
Old Sama didn't act immediately, "Let me remind you again, this is not a pain that can be endured by talking about it, if you fail, your end will be very bad. And even if you succeed, you can only suppress that ignorant Consciousness cannot kill it. Besides, if you want to communicate with the Fruit of Witch Luck, you cannot destroy its original consciousness, unless... "
"Unless what?"
Old Sama pondered for a long time before saying: "Unless your child can completely control the fruit of witch luck."
"But before that, we must first suppress that evil consciousness, right?" For the sake of his son, Yan Mo insisted on defining the original consciousness of the fruit of witch luck as evil.
Old Sama laughed, and Yan Mo wondered why it couldn't see it? But since the ancestor god can let another soul enter the fruit of witch luck, no matter what the result is, it will be the meaning of the god. Gods aren't just merciful, they're also naughty at times.
"Son, have you ever thought that maybe the two souls in the Fruit of Witch Luck are your children?"
"What?!" Yan Mo didn't think of this at all.
"Before I couldn't figure out why there were two souls in the fruit of witch luck. I thought it was God's intention at first, but have you ever wondered why some intelligent creatures can incarnate children of life, while others can only nurture The fruit of greedy witch luck?"
"because… "
"Because intelligent creatures always have two thoughts of good and evil." Old Sama gave the answer, "I was thinking that the same is true for the fruit of witch luck. It was ignorant at the beginning, and only had the simplest and most primitive desire to eat, and only nourishment Its intelligent creatures tell it what is good and what is evil, so that it can learn to distinguish and grow. Children are innocent, but they are also evil, just like the fruit of witchcraft."
Then the old Sama said solemnly: "Perhaps you should not think about how to suppress and eliminate that evil consciousness, but teach your child from now on, let him bravely face the truth and all of himself, and start growing."
"But what if the fruit of witch luck really has two souls? And your little Sama did suppress that evil consciousness that day. If the two consciousnesses in the fruit of witch luck are my children, then the two All consciousness should be suppressed."
"No, you haven't understood what I mean. The ancestor god may have divided your child's soul. One of them has only ignorant consciousness and only knows the most basic desires, while the other has all the memories of your child." Old Sa Ma's voice was very gentle, "But the ignorant consciousness can directly control the fruit of witch luck, and even affect the intelligent creatures outside, while the consciousness with your child's memory is hidden deeper, only in this way can it meet the requirements of the fruit of witch luck. The law of growth."
Yan Mo understood, "You mean that I can't just suppress the ignorant consciousness, but should fuse the two consciousnesses to make my son's soul complete, right?"
Old Sama nodded with satisfaction, "Any intelligent creature, any life, has the most primitive desire, and because of this desire, life can continue. God never asks us to eliminate desire, but hopes that we can control it. The consciousness with your child's memory does not have the most basic desire, how can he become a real life and come alive? Child, think about it, do you want the fruit of witch luck with your child's memory, or do you want to return to you? The child's complete soul? Think it over, think carefully, and don't be fooled by appearances."
Yan Mo was caught in a dilemma. What the old Sama said was only its unilateral speculation, so he dared not bet.
"You said, even if I successfully fuse the young sprout of the soul-returning tree, I can only suppress that ignorant consciousness but not eliminate it, right?"
"right."
"And you also told me that morning that the fruit of witch luck can only get nutrients by tempting the host, and generally will not take the initiative to attack flesh and blood creatures, and the wood-type immortals are the most attractive to it, but they also need to be immortals. Touch it first, and it will absorb the vitality of the immortals, right?"
Yan Mo's direct understanding of the way the fruit of witch luck obtains nutrients is: the fruit of witch luck is a baby, and the vitality of the wood-type longevity is the best milk for it to absorb, and it can also eat other foods, but it must Others will help it deal with it first, such as directly pouring blood on it.
"Yes. The fruit of witch luck is like an unkillable mosquito before it becomes the child of life. Although it is not powerful, any longevity clan with tenth-level combat power can do nothing to it. Starve it to death and fire attack is the only way to kill it. The second method, but it takes a long time to starve it to death, and the fire attack also requires a relatively large and long-lasting flame."
"Then if it doesn't get nutrients all the time, will it grab it directly from the host?" Yan Mo felt that the fruit of witch luck would penetrate into its body, which might have something to do with the feeling that he would not die. Will the other party mistakenly think that he is also some kind of longevity clan that is easier to absorb
Old Sama looked at Yan Mo and said nothing.
Yan Mo was stunned to see the deep sympathy for him from the other party's bump.
Old Sama said truthfully: "Actually, I have always been curious. How can you survive until now when the fruit of witch luck got into your body?"
The corner of Yan Mo's mouth twitched, "Give me a branch. I don't want to be sucked into a human body in the future."
Old Sama asked one last time: "Have you decided?"
Yan Mo nodded heavily, not allowing himself regret. Leaving his son aside, if the branches of the Returning Soul Tree can successfully germinate in his body, and he can also successfully fuse, then he can also use this to suppress the fruit of witch luck, so that the little bastard has no nutrients to absorb, forcing it Had to get out of his body
"Then follow me back to the place where the seedlings of my family's Sama are. Only there can I plant branches into your body without disturbing the fruit of witch luck."
"How long am I going to be there?"
"When the branches in your body germinate, I will find a way to speed up this process to avoid losing too much of your vitality, but it will take at least three to five days."
