As darkness fell, the valley was filled with the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects. The night wind blew through the forest, and thousands of branches and leaves on the yellow horn trees swayed, making a rustling sound. Lights lit up in the tree house, lighting up the tree crowns. The night here is so beautiful, and even the air is filled with tranquility.
On top of the huge yellow horn tree, Ning Tao sat cross-legged on a huge branch with his eyes lightly closed. It seemed like a meditative action, but he was actually practicing.
There was no practice technique or any movement, just natural induction and breathing, and the spiritual energy in the valley flowed towards him like streams. Spiritual energy continuously entered his body, flowed through his limbs and bones, and finally entered the seed.
That seed was nourished by a lot of spiritual energy, and it grew bit by bit, getting stronger and stronger. When it emerged again, it was just a small seed, but now it has grown into a sapling as tall as a finger. Blue roots took root in his mind, and blue trunks and branches glowed slightly in his mind. It is like a treasure tree carved out of sapphire, with sparkling treasure, lingering treasure aura, mysterious and sacred.
The blue treasure tree grew little by little, releasing traces of scorching energy that made Ning Tao sweat profusely. Each of those sweat beads is blue, as crystal clear as sapphires. The sweat beads in front have condensed into blue heaven-made energy crystals, but the sweat beads in the back are still emerging.
This is equivalent to eating mussel meat and pulling out pearls.
This thing is really strange, but the God of Delivery has seen so many strange things all the way here that he can't even count them, so he is no longer surprised.
Got a secret
Can't explain it
Then let it develop naturally. One day it can no longer hold it in and the secret will be revealed.
There is another person on this branch, that is the Statue of Liberty, Pearl. She looked longingly at the shining natural energy crystal on Ning Tao's body, and her small tongue pursed her lips countless times.
She can't absorb the high-purity natural energy crystals, and she doesn't even dare to touch them. However, she can eat and absorb the low-purity natural energy crystals condensed from Ning Tao's body, and her magic power will also be improved.
She has never been so eager for something. If Ning Tao opens his eyes at this moment, she will eagerly pounce on him and eat every blue heaven-made energy crystal on his body. But Ning Tao didn't open his eyes, so she could only endure it because she was worried that if she went to Dingxiang to dance wildly, Ning Tao's output would be reduced, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
After a while, Ning Tao finally opened his eyes.
"Laosong, is it over?" Bi Mingzhu said anxiously.
Ning Tao nodded: "It's over."
Bi Mingzhu's figure swayed, and before Ning Tao could say another word, she threw him down on the branch.
"Goddess of Liberty, don't, don't be anxious... hiss." Ning Tao's eyes closed again.
Some things are beyond your control.
Ling'er walked out of the tree house and looked up, but couldn't see Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu above. She grabbed a rope, moved her hands together, and climbed up in a few swishes.
"Brother Hero, Sister-in-law Hero has dinner." Ling'er jumped from the end of the rope and jumped onto the branch lightly. She saw the hero brother and the hero sister-in-law, and the feet she had just stood on suddenly became weak, her body lost balance, and she swayed, and another onion fell from the branch.
A figure suddenly flew down from above, grabbed her waist, and took a step in the air to bring her to her tree house.
Until her feet landed on the branches, her mind was still blank. This time she was obviously frightened.
"Why are you so careless?" Ning Tao let go of Ling'er's waist.
Ling'er came back to her senses and seemed to have recalled something. Her face suddenly turned red. She didn't dare to look at Ning Tao's eyes, and her voice was hesitant: "Um, I don't know what you and Ning Tao are talking about." sister in law… "
A figure fell from the sky, it was the sister-in-law she mentioned.
Ning Tao said seriously: "Don't get me wrong, we are practicing."
"Oh." Ling'er responded subconsciously, but probably only she knew what she was thinking.
Bi Mingzhu coughed dryly: "Is dinner ready?"
Ling'er said: "Okay, that's why I came up to ask you to eat."
Ning Tao said: "Eat first, then we can go to the cave you mentioned to see the murals."
"Yeah." Ling'er nodded.
Dinner was very simple, including scones made from cassava and cassava flour, and some wild fruits.
In fact, in this dense virgin forest, food is still very easy to solve. But that kind of evolved spiritual fruit is rare, which is why Ling'er and Qiang Shi take people to pick spiritual apples so far away.
Ning Tao felt that the spiritual apple was somewhat similar to the spiritual material from his hometown, but there were also differences. The difference is that fruits such as Spirit Apple have actually evolved and possess strong spiritual energy, rather than simply possessing spirituality and aura. A very simple example is that there must be no apples as big as a head in my hometown. Ordinary apples can never grow that big, and spiritual apples can never grow that big.
In fact, it is very appropriate to use "psionic fruits" to summarize those super-evolved fruits.
After dinner, Ling'er took Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu down from the largest yellow horn tree, then walked through half of the valley and came to the foot of a cliff.
Under the bright moonlight, there is a dense heat under the cliff. Looking through the heat, you can vaguely see a cave. The sound of gurgling water comes from the cave, creating a feeling of a fairyland on earth.
"There is a hot spring in the cave, and the water flows all year round. In winter, we all like to soak in the hot spring. It can avoid the cold and keep the body healthy, so our tribe is called the Hot Spring Tribe." Ling'er said.
I heard her say it when I came here, but Ning Tao still nodded and cooperated: "I see, are the murals you mentioned in this cave?"
Ling'er nodded: "Well, the entrance of this cave doesn't look big, but it's big inside. Let me take you in. There's still a long way to go."
Entering the cave, Ning Tao saw the hot spring pool. It was a large hot spring pool that could accommodate hundreds of people bathing at a time. The excess water overflows from the hot spring pool and forms a stream that flows out of the cave and nourishes the forest in the valley.
"Wait a moment, I'll get the torch." Ling'er walked towards a stone wall.
"No, I have something useful for a torch." Bi Mingzhu put the hat she brought from the Tiandao base on her head. The bioelectricity was activated, and a bright beam of light immediately dispelled the darkness in front of her, and she moved forward. I took the photo hundreds of meters away.
In fact, in Mana Awakening, Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu can see normally in a dark environment without lighting.
, but it’s different with Ling’er. She can’t see without light. This is why Bi Mingzhu brought the cuckold out. She also brought the big gun, slung over her shoulder. Although her magic power has recovered somewhat, it is still too weak. If she encounters a large team of apes or something, she can still fight with a big gun to reduce Ning Tao's burden.
Ling'er looked at the cuckold on Bi Mingzhu's head, thought about it for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and said excitedly: "I've seen this hat before!"
Ning Tao's heart moved: "Where have you seen it?"
Ling'er said: "On that mural."
Ning Tao: "..."
No matter what, the murals in the cave had aroused his strong curiosity.
In the coffin of the Holy Tomb, he inherited the memory of Lingshan, but that was the memory of the early and heyday of mankind, but the murals in this cave were painted by surviving humans as primitive people. The two are definitely not the same. Same. He wanted to know what the so-called Great Union period was like and what the surviving humans had experienced.
The three of them walked deeper into the cave, with Ling'er leading the way.
This cave is just as Ling'er said. It doesn't look big from the outside, but it's actually very big. After passing the hot spring pool, the space became larger and larger, and there were many holes on the mountain wall. Some are big, some are small, I don’t know what they lead to.
Ling'er said: "Those forked caves are complicated, and some have no way out. Only the clan leader knows the terrain inside. There was once a child who got angry with his mother and got into a forked cave. He was missing for several days. In the end, the clan leader took him with him. People went into the fork to look for it, but the child was already starving to death."
Passing by an open space, Ning Tao saw many stone benches on the ground, and a simple stone platform built with square stones at the end of the open space. There is a stone statue standing on the stone platform, but there is no carving at all. Only a vague human appearance can be seen, without even a nose and eyes.
"What kind of statue is that?" Ning Tao asked.
Ling'er said: "That is the statue of the God of Heaven, but no one in the tribe knows how to carve it, and there are no suitable tools, so we can only carve it in appearance. This place is a place for worshiping the God of Heaven. During the harvest and sowing seasons, children are born. , the clan leader will lead everyone here to worship the gods, it’s very lively.”
God
This is a very general title, not even a god. Ning Tao has a large number of sons and grandsons who are gods, but they also have formal gods, such as the God of Giant Power, the God of Great Harvest, the God of Water Release, etc.
"Children like that kind of day the most, because there are a lot of delicious food." Ling'er seemed to recall something, with a smile on her face.
Ning Tao also saw the rotten fruit cores in the open space. There were quite a lot of them, but he didn't see a single bone. He said curiously: "Ling'er, you said there are a lot of delicious ones, why did I only see the fruit cores? If you don’t see the bones, don’t you eat meat on the day of worshiping the gods?”
"Eating meat?" Ling'er looked at Ning Tao with a strange look, "What kind of meat?"
Ning Tao said: "Pork, venison, etc., you won't tell me that you haven't eaten meat, right?"
Ling'er shook his head: "No, we want to eat, but we can't win. Those wild boars are very powerful. We met them once when we were picking spiritual fruits outside. That time a wild boar killed three of us."
Ning Tao asked in surprise: "How big is the wild boar?"
Ling'er said: "It's very big. One of its legs is as tall as me."
Ning Tao: "..."
This is indeed unwinnable.
