Dorothy smiled and asked, "Shall I help you pick the fruit?"
Before he could speak slowly, Huo Jian said very seriously: "This fruit can only be picked by her, and no one else can help."
What a strange request.
Huo Jian poked Ju An beside him with his cane: "Go, bring her a stool."
Ju An didn't say anything more this time, he quickly moved a small bench, put it next to the sapling, and then stood up slowly with support.
With the added height of the bench, Xu Xu could finally touch the golden fruit this time.
She held the fruit, pulled it lightly, and picked it off.
The moment she picked the fruit, the originally vibrant sapling lost its vitality in an instant, the leaves turned yellow and all withered, the trunk also withered quickly, and finally turned into a wisp of dust and disappeared.
Slowly froze in place.
She just picked a fruit, but the whole sapling died.
When did she become so lethal? !
Just when Xu Xu was anxious, Ju An and Huo Jian immediately fell to their knees with a plop, almost crying with excitement.
Huan Huan was so frightened by their sudden action that she almost rolled off the stool.
Fortunately, Bai Di had quick eyesight and quick hands, and picked her up in time.
Slowly buffering the two saplings, he said, "Don't cry, at worst, I will pay you a sapling."
Huo Jian tried hard to calm down his excited mood, his old eyes were full of respect: "To tell you the truth, the sapling just now was actually a branch cut from a sacred tree. We inserted it into the soil for cultivation. Only then did it grow into what you just saw."
Slowly thinking that it was over, she killed the sacred tree that was so hard to support.
The holy tree is very precious, and she probably cannot afford it.
She could only try to defend herself: "I didn't do it on purpose, and I don't know what happened, but the sapling died suddenly."
"That sapling survived entirely on the fruit of the holy tree. If you took the fruit away, the sapling would naturally not be able to survive."
So this is ah! Huan Huan hurriedly separated the relationship: "You guys asked me to pick the fruit just now, and the fruit will be returned to you. The death of the sapling has nothing to do with me. Don't try to blackmail us with this matter."
Huo Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We don't mean to blackmail you."
"That's what you said. The death of the sapling has nothing to do with us, and we are not responsible for compensation."
Bai Di patted her on the arm, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't always think about compensation, they seem to have more important things to tell us, you let them finish talking."
Slowly made a gesture to zip up, and shut up obediently.
Bai Di said to Huo Jian and Ju An: "You all stand up and talk, it's quite awkward to always kneel like this."
Huo Jian and Ju An subconsciously looked at Slow.
Slowly didn't understand why they suddenly respected her so much. When she saw the other party looking at the golden fruit in her hand from time to time, she thought that maybe they didn't respect her, but the fruit in her hand.
After all, this is the only fruit left by the sacred tree.
He waved his hand slowly, motioning for them all to get up and talk.
With her permission, Ju An dared to support Huo Jian to stand up.
Huo Jian cleared his throat, and then he said: "The Qingfeng Continent was attacked by monsters. The sacred tree died in order to protect the continent. Before dying, it will give us the branches that grow fruit. , please take it and leave Qingfeng Continent."
"The holy tree tells us that this fruit is the seed it left behind. As long as the seed can germinate, it will definitely grow into a new holy tree in the future."
"The holy tree also said that only those chosen by the gods can pick this fruit and help it take root."
"And now, you are the one who picks the fruit."
…
Slowly, he looked dazed.
Didn't she just help pick the fruit? How could such a big hat be forcibly put on in the blink of an eye? !
Huo Jian became excited again while waving the crutch in his hand, and shouted: "You are the one chosen by the gods, as long as you follow your words, those monsters will no longer be able to harm our tree-human race, and we can live a happy life again." Happy and secure days like before!"
Slowly: "..."
At this time, she finally discovered that the fruit in her hand was actually a hot potato.
Slowly opened his mouth: "I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have the ability to fight against monsters, you should take the fruit back..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Baidi.
He said: "You put away the fruit, and we will take the Treants back to the Beastman Continent.
"what?"
Slowly didn't understand why he took these treants back with him.
God knows if these tree people will cause them trouble on the way, she just wants to go home quickly, and it is best not to have any accidents happen.
She looked at Baidi and motioned him to give a reasonable explanation with her eyes.
Baidi said: "These tree people can help us cultivate the land."
Slowly: "..."
Quite a solid reason.
Xue Ling also opened his mouth at this time: "These treants are only about a hundred people, and the size of our ship can completely hold them."
Shuang Yun stroked his chin: "There have never been tree people in the Orc Continent. If a group of tree people live in Rock City, it may attract more orcs to join us in the future."
All three of them expressed their agreement to accept the refuge of these Ents.
The minority took the majority, and slowly had to compromise: "Well, since you don't think they are in the way, then take them along with you."
After getting their consent, Huomi and Tachibana were very happy.
Huo Jian hurriedly asked: "When will you set off for the Beastman Continent?"
"The departure was originally scheduled for today, but the weather at sea is not good. We decided to leave two days later. You can use these two days to pack up quickly."
"Okay, okay, let's go and pack our bags."
Huo Jian was afraid to change his mind slowly, so he immediately urged Ju An: "Hurry up and inform the clansmen to pack up their things quickly."
Ju An gathered the clansmen and told them the news that they were about to go to the Beastman Continent.
The tree people didn't understand why Hao Duan Duan suddenly wanted to leave, but since the patriarch and elders had already made a decision, they were in trust and didn't ask any more questions, and went to pack their things after the meeting was over.
The seeds and saplings that had just been planted were all dug up, and they wanted to take them all away.
The entire Treant Race is busier than before.
Dorot didn't expect that things would take such a turn, she couldn't help sighing: "I finally fell in love with a beautiful man, but in the end I was kidnapped by you again, if you continue to do this, our friendship boat will capsize Already!"
Slowly laughing heartlessly: "Don't worry, we have to leave in two days, and I won't hinder you from finding a husband again."
"Let's go! Go away!" Dorothy waved her hand, looking impatient, but said something concerned, "You'd better leave quickly, if the Dragon Emperor knows that you have Holding the fruit of the sacred tree, he will definitely send someone to snatch it."
