After obtaining Pingru's consent, Yang Yu and his team came to the boundary marker between the two countries.
Yang Yu stood south of the boundary marker and Ping Ru stood north of it. After setting up a barrier to prevent the sound from being transmitted, the two began a long conversation.
It was not until the silver moonlight gradually spread all around that Yang Yu realized that today was Mid-Autumn Festival again.
In the Forest of Life, the plant tribe’s annual autumn festival has come to an end.
This year, as expected, Shihui Cactus took the first place.
In fact, the birth of superior species like last year rarely happens.
Even so, at the moment when Shi Hui Cactus used the racial essence to advance, countless people closed their eyes and prayed silently, hoping that Shi Hui Cactus could complete the transformation.
They hope that superior species will continue to be born and restore the glory of the plant race.
As the number of superior species increases, the number of people who can use the essence of the race at the Autumn Festival will increase from one to two, from two to three, and from three to four.
Finally, as recorded in ancient times, everyone can use the essence of their race and everyone has the possibility of becoming a superior species.
However, expectations were once again dashed.
After using the racial essence of the plant family, Shi Hui Cactus did not transform into a superior species of the plant family as everyone expected, but only slightly enhanced the ability of the cactus.
I thought it was natural that expectations were dashed, but when the results really came out, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Quan.Acorn smiled and comforted Shihui.Cactus, and Shihui.Cactus also smiled, forcing himself to be happy.
Zuixiang Putao, who had always regarded Shihui Cactus as a strong rival, said nothing, but just frowned, patted Cactus's shoulder, and walked back to the forest with an unhappy face, returning to his post.
This is an annual festival. In the end, Shi Hui. Cactus couldn't control his emotions and decided to stay away from the village and calm down.
"what a pity."
After the Autumn Festival, Elder Quan Acorn held the essence of the race in his palm, put it into the core of the mother tree with regret on his face, and completed the sealing under the watchful eyes of other members of the Plant Clan Council.
The sturdy Nasu Mushi leaned against the door with his arms folded and sighed: "With this probability, it is impossible for two superior species to appear in two consecutive years."
"Is this what people often say, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment? When I saw someone complete the transformation last year, I couldn't help but look forward to it."
Cuiyu Jiucai sat at the round table with her fingers crossed. Beside her, Lilith Lily rubbed her cheek:
"I envy you so much for having younger generations. I also want to have younger generations, teach them all kinds of knowledge, and go to festivals with them. I envy Miyu so much."
Hans Morning Glory shrugged helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it.
Come to think of it, William Pumpkin is really hardworking.
Even though the Autumn Festival had just ended, they were already dealing with the monsters that appeared in the forest.
I usually do it.
I have to get back to my job right away, I have a lot of things to do."
“Thank you for your hard work. This is also for the sake of stability.” After checking once more that the core of the tree mother was indeed wrapped with the essence of the race, Quan.Acorn dragged his slow body towards the stairs, “We should also go. Nasu, it’s your turn to be on duty today, so don’t take it lightly.”
Nasu. Mushroom patted his chest and promised: "As long as I am alive, I will never let anyone steal the essence of our race."
"Then I'll leave it to you. Good night, everyone."
""""Good night.""""
After saying that, everyone said goodbye to each other, left the mother tree, and went back to rest.
Time passed slowly, and black clouds appeared in the sky, covering the bright moon, as if a heavy rain would fall at any time.
Nasu Mushi sat at the round table, staring at the place where the essence of the race was stored, and yawned loudly.
Suddenly, a petite figure swung in from the big tree hole.
Nasu Mushroom was startled, looked carefully, stretched lazily, and asked:
"It's Hans. What can I do for you?"
Hans Morning Glory put away the morning glory vines in his hand, approached Nasu, and said with a smile: "I forgot to take some things. I came back to get them, and by the way, I will check if you are lazy."
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be lazy? I'm just a little sleepy." As he said that, Nasu Mushi yawned loudly again.
"makes sense.
By the way, I found a strange fruit in the forest. Do you want to try it? Since you are a mushroom, you are not afraid of poison.
Even if it's poisonous, it doesn't matter, right?"
As he spoke, Hans Morning Glory took out a red nut and handed it to Nasu.
"It's this kind of fruit. Try it and see if it tastes good."
"You are truly a different breed than anyone I've ever seen. You are so careless that you use me as a poison testing tool."
Complaining like that, Nasu Kinokoi almost didn't hesitate to throw the red fruit into his mouth and swallowed it. Less than two minutes later, before Nasu Kinokoi could say what he thought, he suddenly felt sleepy and fell headfirst onto the table, snoring into a sleep.
Hans Morning Glory smiled and walked straight to where Nasu had just been looking. He stretched out his hand, and the tree mother immediately exposed her core, revealing the beautiful racial essence within.
Hans reached out his hand without hesitation and grabbed the future of the plant race.
But before Hans could finish his work, a voice came from behind him:
"Hans, it's you."
Looking back, Quan.Acorn, Jade, Lilith and Meiyu were standing at the entrance of the tree mother's stairs.
Hans took the essence of the plant family in his hand, without any intention of hiding it, and said with a smile:
"Ala, I was discovered."
Meiyu.Rose's eyebrows were raised, but she tried her best to control her emotions and asked, "Did you really steal it last time?"
Hans took a long breath and admitted frankly, "Yes, I stole it last time too."
"Hans! Tell me why you did this!"
The smile on Hans' face gradually disappeared, and he said, "Perhaps you will find it incredible, but I am doing this all for the good of our plant tribe.
One day you will understand my good intentions.
Well, see you later if we are lucky.
When you see me again, I will tell you the whole truth."
After saying that, a lot of vines grew out of Hans Morning Glory's body and hooked onto the edge of the tree hole. With a strong push, Hans Morning Glory was like being slingshotted, and bounced into the forest and fled in the direction of his collaborator.
Quan.Acorn did not try to stop them, nor did he ask the people around him not to chase after them. He just took out a letter from his pocket and slowly opened it again.
