Gold is Justice

Isn't that what happens in the novel?As long as he survived the catastrophe, there must be some strange grandpa who came out to provide him with various powerful powers?

Haha, that must be the case!

Thinking about it, Airl stepped back even more vigorously.

But in fact, he also knew that he was delusional, but thinking about it like this could at least make him less nervous.But when he was staring at his own face in front of him and walked back for almost an hour...

With a snap, his heel finally touched something.

His heart tightened slightly, and he turned his head quickly!

"…………Nothing at all?"

To Airl's surprise, there was indeed nothing in front of him.

There is no small broken house, no strange old man, and nothing waiting for his own strength.

What he hit with his heel was only a tree root protruding from the ground.

With a little disappointment, Airl could only turn his head again, wanting to look at the tree girl's face and keep walking backwards at two points and one line.But just when he turned his head, he suddenly found that the treant girl in front of him started to... collapse?

After these limbs made up of branches decayed quickly, they fell to the ground and mixed with the same rotting leaves and branches on the ground, and soon they couldn't tell each other apart.Just when Airl was amazed by the change in front of him, he heard a terrible sound coming from behind him again!

Turning his head, he saw that the tree root he kicked with his heel just now started to close up gradually!No, it's not just this tree root that started to move, but all the surrounding trees, all the grass, and all the vines!Everything that could be born in this rotting forest began to squirm quickly at this moment!

Those seemingly normal trees began to recede gradually, the ground rolled, and a large pile of mud and black ground rolled up from it, sweeping in with the smell of dampness and rotting plants, rushing directly into Airl's nose .

However, the current situation simply does not allow Airl to run away holding his nose, because when all the healthy-looking trees have receded, one tree looks like it is going to die, like a ghost claw, and it takes about ten people The huge tree that can only be embraced turned over from this dark, smelly, wet muddy ground.After a few times of maneuvering, it completely came to Airl and stood here.

Seeing this scene in Ai Luo's eyes, the chairman was already a little speechless.

He raised his head, looked at this tall, weird, twisted giant tree that exuded a strange smell, and even took a step back involuntarily.

(Huh? Human? It's so strange, why are you still alive? Shouldn't you become my nourishment?)

A voice suddenly broke into Airl's mind, the tone of voice was filled with a kind of naturalness, as if he didn't care about the life of Airl at all.

Airl froze for a moment, raised his head to look at the giant tree, swallowed slightly and said, "Is it you... talking to me?"

(I don't really want to talk to you if I can, human.)

The giant tree that rotted like a ghost's claw moved slightly, and that faint voice echoed in Airl's mind again.

(But since you are alive, I can only ask you to die quickly in a way you can understand. Being my nutrient will be your best choice, child. But here is a problem, do you humans want to die or not? It's quite difficult, and I don't want to spend so much effort to kill you... So, can you think of a quick death without me doing it? I would be very happy.)

So...are all plants inhumane?The same is true of the flower fairy, and the same is true of this ghost claw tree!

Facing such an unknown existence, Airl smiled slightly with his mouth parted, spread his hands and said, "Well... old man, can you tell me your name? If so, I'll know, I'm dead Who will it be nourishment for in the future?"

The Ghost Claw Tree trembled slightly, and the voice that broke into Ai Luo's mind was a little lazy and a little helpless.

(My name? Oh...my name...my name...what is my name? Human, do you know my name?)

Airl was sure that the dryad was probably mentally ill!

(Ah... I remembered. I should not have a name. Since a long time ago, you humans have called me the tree of the world, the tree of life, the tree of the dead sea, the spirit of nature, and other messy names. But I don't know what my name is, it's just your human name. Besides your human name, other races have given me several names. In general, there seem to be thousands of names, and I can't remember me. What is the name.)

Ai Luo covered his beating heart, gritted his teeth, and said with a smile: "Then... which name do you like best?)

(My favourite? Hmm... by the way, a human used to call me the Demon Hand. I think it's an interesting name, so you can call me that.)

Where is this going? !

Airl now only hates himself for being a human!It is a human being who can't understand plants at all!There is definitely a problem with the brain circuits of plants!It is simply impossible for delusions and these plants to have a chat guided by basic human values!Totally wishful thinking!

"Then... Mister Demon Hand?"

Airl let himself sort out his emotions a little bit, and smiled——

"If... I won't commit suicide, then would you kill me?"

(Oh, kill you by hand? Oh, yes, of course. I will. Since a life is not willing to judge itself, then of course I need to kill you. Um... so.)

As the voice in his head came, the ground in front of Airl began to deform again.Soon, a huge base of tree roots emerged from the muddy black swamp floor.And a sword that was covered with moss, making it completely impossible to see what it used to be, was firmly inserted into the base of the tree root.Several vines spreading out from the base wrapped the sword tightly several times, it looked... as if it was imprisoning the sword.

With his hands behind his back, Airl looked at the "Sword of Imprisonment" with interest.Just as he was observing, the voice in his mind sounded again.

(This is for you, please pull it out and wipe your neck yourself. Although a long time has passed, it should be enough to cut off your human neck. If you are really inconvenient, you can use your neck wipes itself against the thing's blade.)

Although he was more or less curious about this sword, Airl also knew that now was not the time to talk about these things.

Chapter 560 The idea of ​​a tree

With his hands behind his back, he continued to say with a smiling expression: "Then... May I ask the Devil's Hand, if I really don't want to die... can you let me live? You see, I didn't offend you. In the foreseeable future, I should have no power to offend you. So, can you let me go?"

The dead tree in front of him shook slightly, as if he was thinking about this very unworthy question.

After hesitating for a long time, the voice in my mind said again——

(Let you go? Well... human beings, I don’t really care if I kill you or not. It’s just that the dark power in your heart makes me feel very uncomfortable. Besides that darkness, there is also a wonderful force in your body power. Well, that reminds me of an "old friend" of mine. Ugh... For all sorts of reasons, I don't quite get what I'm trying to do a lot of the time. These things are really It's too complicated, since it's so complicated, it's easier for me to worry about you dying.)

It's not possible to communicate, is it?

Airl took a deep breath, let himself show that kind of gentle attitude again, and said with a smile: "Dark power? Mr. Devil's Hand, may I ask if you made a mistake? Any magician can see It can be seen that I am an ordinary person without any magical affinity at all?"

The dead tree trembled slightly, as if it wanted to move itself to a more comfortable position.

(Ah, I’m not talking about magical power. It’s a kind of nature. Human beings, you have a kind of quality that makes me feel very uneasy. Although this kind of quality is very weak, it still exists after all. A long time ago, there was once an existence Having that quality in you. It was such a "fun" time...)

(So, in order not to recall the fun and bad days, so please kill yourself quickly. I will use my roots to purify your soul, so that you can have the cleanest life in the next life soul.)

Talking to this kind of old guy is really exhausting!

However, as long as there is dialogue, the problem can be solved.

And judging from the words of this dying tree, it seems that it only has a little fear of itself, but this fear is similar to the feeling of seeing a hooked rat.Of course, human beings hope that the hook-toothed mice will die, but as long as they don't appear in front of them specially, human beings will not just kill the hook-toothed mice for fun.Sometimes when the hooked rat appears in front of humans, humans just hate it and hope that it will die quickly, but once the hooked rat escapes, then human beings will be fine.

Thinking of this, Airl exhaled slightly, and said with a smile: "That... Devil's Hand, I really don't understand what is going on with your so-called dark nature... If you can, you can talk to me Can you explain it?"

The dead tree trembled slightly, and the voice sounded in Airl's mind again——

(Um... Human, do you want to talk to me? Ah, something is wrong. In fact, you just want to keep yourself alive. Well, in fact, a long time ago, there were many people like you who wanted to talk to me, I want to live. Actually, your lives don’t mean much to me. I’m fine here, and there’s nothing wrong with me except a little bit lonely.)

Arrow's eyes lit up at the word "solitude"!He didn't care that the tree didn't answer his question, but he said, "Lonely? If it's lonely, there are many flower fairies living in front of it. As long as you want, you should be able to get along well with them."

(Ha! Those poor little things?)

When it comes to the flower fairy, the dead tree's mood seems to be a little irritable all of a sudden.Its branches are rising one after another, and even the wet soil under Airl's feet is now bumpy, giving people a feeling that something is about to crawl out of this wet and cold ground!

(Those flower fairies are essentially a group of parasites! They rely on parasites on the bodies of other creatures, kill each other, and then bloom and reproduce. How can these parasites get along well with me? Fortunately, I saw them appear before , I still feel that after such a long time, there will finally be a life to chat with me, but they turned their heads and ran away as soon as they saw me. )

Since the flower goblin ignored the dead tree, who seemed to be a grumpy old man, Arrow immediately decided that he must do the opposite.He tried his best to lift his feet, and pulled out his feet, which had already been half buried in the mud, from the black rotten mud.Looking at the smelly, black and rotten large piece of shoes on his bare feet, which also seemed to be mixed with some bird droppings, insect corpses and other shoes, Airl couldn't imagine what his feet would become. look!

No matter how difficult it was, he still insisted on taking a few steps towards the dead tree, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the bark of the dead tree.

(Don't touch me! Something of a dark nature!)

But the next moment, the branch suddenly rose!Throwing it directly on Ai Luo's body, throwing him flying out.

This time, Airl's whole body suddenly fell into this rotten muddy swamp, even before he could lift his neck, some muddy water splashed into his mouth.

"Ah! Bah, bah, bah!"

(Hmph, things of a dark nature, do you also think my body odor is not tasty? Do you also want to leave me far away immediately?!)

appreciate? ? ?

Ah... is this the old stench of trees? !

Airl quickly put on a smiling face, and struggled to get up from the swamp.He looked at the dark, dirty and smelly appearance on his body, and after taking a breath, he simply let go.

After all, no matter what, the rotten smell of plants and the rotten smell of blood bugs are more or less different.

"Will the flower fairies worship you? 3000 years ago? Demon's hand, I really can't imagine it. Those flower fairies are such a clean and beautiful race. Why would they want to worship you?"

The dead tree shook slightly.

(Love to be clean? Love to be beautiful? Hahaha! Don’t be kidding. Those parasites are purely because you humans like to be clean, you like to be beautiful, and you like that kind of face, so they grow up like that. If you humans are all like the era of chaos If they live in caves and underground, then it is impossible for those flower fairies to like cleanliness and beauty.)

Arrow smiled slightly, and he raised his hands and wiped his face slightly, making himself look more suitable for the tree's "taste".

(Hmm...you look better? The dark power in your body seems to have weakened a lot too? Ah, you seem to be quite sensible, human. And I look very good too! Just wiped a little My faded old skin can suppress the dark nature in your body. Mmmmm, looks good!)

Arrow was certainly happy to make the old man happy, but he wasn't getting carried away.After all, the tree hasn't said that it doesn't have to die.

"Devil's Hand, since those flower fairies once worshiped you...then 3000 years ago, did you live as easily as you do now?"

The branches of the dead tree were let down, and the vigilance towards Airl seemed to be less intense.Seeing this, Airl moved closer to it again, until Airl reached out and touched its bark again, the tree didn't get angry.It seemed that his danger was finally slightly lifted.

(At that time? Ah, of course not at that time.) (Let me think about it... I was young at that time, but I was not very young. I don’t know how old I am? Anyway, at that time I was I feel that, as a tree, I should live with dignity and cleanliness. So I chose to live in a place surrounded by green mountains and green waters and a warm climate, and at the same time try to keep my surroundings clean After all, if you are clean, you humans, flower fairies, and other messy races will come to worship me.)

(In the beginning, I also thought this was very good~~~! After all, I can enjoy the worship of you humans. But as time goes by, I feel a little bit wrong.)

Arrow's heart tightened!Could it be that something terrible happened?

(Well, it’s so tiring to maintain this so-called beautiful appearance! Anyway, I’m not your human being, I’m a tree! As a tree, I just like living in this kind of mud This place is rich in nutrients, the ground is wet (harmonious) and soft, and the sun can shine on me well during the day, and there are many things that you humans don’t like, but the things I like will come and be with me Living! When I think about it this way, I think why do I have to be worshiped by you according to your human preferences? I just like the way I am now!)

Although he was a little apprehensive at first, but as he listened, Ai Luo suddenly had a feeling that he was chatting with the widowed old man to relieve the loneliness in his heart.

To put it bluntly, when I was young, I felt that it was good to be admired by you all the time, but when I got a little older, I felt that I still have to live for myself, and I don’t care about other people’s thoughts, right?

Airl lowered his head and looked around again.

It has to be said that the environment that trees like may not necessarily overlap with the environment that humans like at some point.Therefore, looking at this forest by yourself has a rotten feeling, but in the eyes of these trees, will this be the most suitable paradise for them to grow?

Chapter 560

(The result is, I started not paying attention to taking care of myself. I started to want to get more mud. You humans still wanted to help me clean up at first, but later, you started to say that I was corrupted, and you even invited me The magician wants to purify me? Just kidding! Purification? Who will purify whom! Whoever has the natural magic power is more abundant! Let me tell you, human beings, you human beings gradually began to dislike me. When I put After that place turned into a swamp, they moved away one after another, saying that I was corrupted, and the demon king was about to appear! Although the war with the demons did happen, right, but what does that have to do with me ?)

(Followed by all kinds of legends about defeating the devil, power, etc., leading you humans to start running to me again. They also clamored to purify me, and hoped that I would give you humans Weapons. Weapons? How can I have any weapons? Later, you humans were annoyed to death, so I made something according to the appearance you humans hoped. You humans are so happy! You also said that you must come back to thank me in the future.)

(But you humans are big liars! You said you wanted to thank me, but in the end? No one came back! Well, of course, it’s also possible that those people are all dead. And it may also be because I feel that I’m too annoying, so I move frequently. Okay, but you humans are too unkept in your promises, won’t you even look for me?)

Now Arrow was sure that, in addition to being an old man, the tree might be a chatterbox.Although it is possible that it has been suppressed like this because no creature has talked to it for too long, it can indeed be confirmed that it talks a lot.

Arrow smiled and said, "If you don't move often, maybe you can indeed have many human beings visit you."

(Hmph! I don't have the patience to wait for you in one place for 200 years. Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Ah, human beings, you made me chat very happily. How about this, this thing on you I will give you beautiful clothes. This can also help you suppress the dark nature in your body. Remember to come to me for a change after it dries, and I will smear you with more beautiful mud! And Next time I'll add lots and lots of guano and rotten fruit to keep it nutritious!)

Airl could only smile, and nodded slightly.Anyway, by now, he more or less understood why those human beings refused to come back to find this so-called "spirit of nature", "tree of life".

There is so much nonsense about being a plant, it is really far from the illusion in the eyes of ordinary people!
