Establish diplomatic relations with another world

The roots of the old treant were densely entangled with the little treant. The roots seemed to be so fragile that they seemed to be broken at the moment, but at this moment, they were like steel needles, piercing the hard outer skin of the little treant, and then extended all the way to the inside. .

The little tree man had never felt so clearly the direction of the veins in his body, he was already out of breath, and he was trembling.

Ah Nian has always been curious about the difference between tree people and human beings. He has also read pictures of human organs in books, but he has never been curious in his heart. Do tree people have hearts?

Now he knows, isn't Mu Jing the tree man's heart?

The rhizome slowly moved towards his heart, and the little tree man could feel his body getting weaker and weaker. The originally flourishing branches and leaves on his head quickly withered, turned from green to yellow, and slowly fell off.

Feeling the vitality slowly leaving his body, the little tree man was sad, sad, and in pain. He almost exhausted his last strength to forcefully ask: "Grandpa, did you bring me back just to eat me?" ?”

The life force of the little tree man was continuously absorbed into himself, the body of the old tree man stretched a lot, and the branches on his head continued to grow. Looking at the struggling little tree man, he said indifferently: "Of course not... I'm calling you now, I I really want to leave this place for you to inherit. Isn’t it like this for human beings? Give what I cherish, give it to others for safekeeping, and help take care of my territory! You have stayed with human beings, you should I know!" The old tree man said with some regret, "It's a pity, you don't agree!"

The little tree man burst into tears: "You lied to me. If you really treat me as your heir, shouldn't you be nice to me? Why would you kill me if I didn't agree...I still call you grandpa, you You don't like me at all! You don't care about me at all..."

Compared with death, what saddened the little tree man most was the old tree man's indifference and cruelty towards him.

The old tree man scoffed: "Are you stupid? I've said it all, I'm not your grandfather at all!" He said nonchalantly, "Who knows where your mother was driven here, smelling like blood, I don't know how many creatures have been killed. When I got here, I couldn't hold it anymore. I thought I was a bumpkin who had never seen a person like her in the North. He destroyed half of my forest and wanted to eat me... "

The little tree was stunned. Is his mother such a person?

The old tree man glanced at him and snorted, "I even buried her remaining half of the wood crystal in the soil to nourish my forest."

The little tree man lowered his head, and tears fell down: "Grandpa... I know, it was my mother who wanted to kill you, so you should fight back." In nature, the weak prey on the strong. Common sense, it should...it should!Woo~

There was a trace of surprise in the eyes of the old tree man: "You can think about it!"

The little tree man whimpered, but didn't answer.

As Ah Nian said, when you are in the world, you must follow the rules of the world.Both plants and animals work hard to survive.In the face of life and death, there is nothing wrong with fighting together for one's own survival.

His mother, if he really wanted to kill grandpa, what's wrong with grandpa turning back?

The little tree man recalled the scene when he was next to the old tree man when he was a child. He didn't understand anything at that time. Respond to him, teach him abilities...

"If I die, grandpa can live on, that's not bad!"

The little tree man cried, "But can Grandpa let Dabai go back? I promised Ah Nian they would go back, but I can't go back now, you asked Dabai to bring me a message back, I didn't mean to break my promise Ah Nian said that people who do not keep their promises are the most shameful, and I don't want to be a shameful person..."

The old tree man was silent for a while in surprise, then nodded: "Ah Zhuang, let it go."

The bear beast that had scraped three bloodstains on Dabai's body reluctantly let go of Dabai, and Dabai struggled to get up from the ground, panting heavily.But it didn't seem to appreciate it, it almost just took a breath, and rushed towards the old tree man, as if it wanted to save the little tree man.

"Roar!"

The bear roared unhappily, rushed over and bit Dabai's back, and Dabai also took the opportunity to bite the bear's neck, causing the bear to tremble violently.

"White camel!" The old tree man sighed in a rare way, "I haven't seen it for 30 years. I always thought it was extinct. I didn't expect you to tame one." Looking at Dabai anxiously, Little tree man, he stopped on the tip of his tongue when he was about to taunt, paused for a while, suddenly stopped absorbing the little tree man, and said with complicated emotions: "You still have a chance now, agree to my request and stay here , help me take care of the territory, I will let you go, and your Dabai. My energy is also yours!"

The bear roared angrily, but the old tree man ignored it at all. "Well, I'll give you a chance, think again!"

The little tree man seemed to have all his strength taken away, and wept weakly: "Why do I have to stay here? If you pass away, your Mu Jing can also stay here and continue to help the plants grow here. Everyone will be fine."

Didn't Bai Ye and the others say that as long as there are wood crystals, crops can still be produced?

The old tree man looked at him for a while, then suddenly withdrew the stalk completely: "Do you think that the wood crystal can be used forever? The energy conservation of the wood crystal that is separated from the body of the tree man will completely disappear with the passage of time. .”

He looked at the wide forest: "Now I have to go to the edge of the forest every three days to stimulate the trees on the edge so that they can continue to survive in the snow and ice. The farther away I am, the more impact my ability will have. Little... If I die, even if my wood crystals are left behind, this territory can only survive for a hundred years at most, and then they will disappear completely!" The old tree man's words were tinged with excitement: "No, I This absolutely cannot be allowed to happen.”

He suddenly persuaded the little tree man: "Humans are not our race. They will guard against you and use you. No matter how good the present is, the future may not be certain, but plants and animals will not. As long as you stay here, as long as you keep fighting!" Taking care of this territory, they will take you as the head and be loyal to you... Do you know? When your mother brought you to this land, you were going to die, your body has shrunk, only so small One ball, your mother didn't take you seriously at all, although she didn't kill you to absorb energy, she just put it in the snow at random, if I didn't find out, soften my heart and save you, you would have died a long time ago."

The little tree man shivered. Even though he had never met his mother, he couldn't stop feeling a little sad when he heard that she had no feelings for him.

The old tree man sighed: "I don't want to kill you. In this vast northern land, you are the one I met... you are the same family that I rarely meet. I never took your mother's anger on you, and I still raise you." I have been with you for three years and give you energy. I am going to die, so I hope you can stay and help me look after the territory. This will not do you any harm. Believe it or not, if other tree people know that they can get a The territory, they will scramble to come over to beg me?"

The little tree man lowered his head and didn't speak.

The old tree man became impatient.

He cares about this territory very much.The life of tree people is too long, but they are basically wandering.The little tree is too young to understand what it means to him to be a territory he finally found after wandering for more than [-] years, and a team leader who has carefully managed it for more than [-] years.

Every inch of land here, every plant, every small animal, he knows and is familiar with.

He watched them being born and growing up. He had no children, but these were all his children.

"I'll give you a choice." The old tree man's enthusiasm disappeared again, and he returned to his indifferent tone, "Death, or stay and accept my territory."

The little tree man raised his head suddenly: "Aren't you afraid that if I promise you, I will leave here after you die?"

The old tree man seemed surprised for a moment, and then snorted angrily: "You can say such dishonest words, you really learned from anthropology!" He paused, "But you reminded me."

The little tree man had an ominous premonition, and sure enough, the next moment, he heard the old tree man say: "Since you are so reluctant to part with humans, then I will kill them first. This snow field can support the tree man's continuous growth. This is the land, without humans, you have no reason to leave, and there is no other place to go if you don’t stay.”

The little tree man was anxious: "You, you won't succeed, Ah Nian and the others are amazing!"

The old tree man sneered, ignored the little tree man, and shouted to the forest instead.

After a while, Hisoka's voice came from the dense forest, and animals appeared one by one...

The little tree man stared blankly, he knew some of them, and some he hadn't seen much.

"The ferrets have been to that human gathering place." The old tree man looked at the ferrets, "Then you take them there!"

The little tree man was in a hurry and wanted to protest, but the old tree man grew several vines and tied him tightly—and Dabai.

Looking at the little tree man who was taken away, the old tree man softened his tone for the first time when he saw the little tree man today: "You are my clan, junior, you will know sooner or later, everything I do is for Hello!"

"Hehe!"

The little tree man struggled and screamed, looking into the eyes of the old tree man, it was full of accusations.

The little tree man was taken away and locked up, and the surrounding animals did not move without the order of the old tree man.Only the bear beast walked slowly to the old tree man: "Master, why didn't you eat him? Eat him, and you can still live."

The old tree man exhaled and laughed at himself: "Survive? If you live in such pain all the time, how many days can you last?"

He glanced at the bear beast, and then slowly separated the entangled rhizomes, exposing the roots.

The greenish-brown bark has begun to peel off, exposing the tender yellow core inside, and some tiny bugs are gnawing at these tender cores.

The old tree man endured the pain: "I can feel that they grow more and more. Even if I eat the little tree man, my energy will increase and I can continue to grow and endure the pain of being gnawed every day. But they don't die. Sooner or later One day, I will still be gnawed to death by them. If the little tree man dies, what will you do then? Will you die with this forest?"

Without forests, without herbivores, how long can carnivorous animals live?The old tree man has lived in this barren northern land for too long, and he knows better than anyone else how difficult this land is.

The old tree man touched the soft fur of the bear beast: "You have followed me for more than 20 years, and I will always find a way out for you."

He used to be a little tree man, the tree man he raised before, young and ignorant, it should be the best coaxing, but who knows, a group of human beings came out!

"A place like Beidi is not suitable for human habitation!" The old tree man put away his sensibility and looked at the herd of beasts he had summoned. "Now, obey my orders, follow the ferrets, and destroy those humans for me!",
