The ear-piercing scream was only fleeting, and that dazzling ray of light flew out of the protection range of the girl's shield, but it still cut the stream of light in front of her like a shooting star without any resistance, as if it had cut it. Ripples in the water.

"Boom!!!"

Only at the last moment did the huge figure notice the strange but dazzling light except for his breath, and then the arrow pierced through the huge figure effortlessly as if passing through the light.

A large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters suddenly appeared on the huge figure that had grown to a height of more than 50 meters, but this wound was much weaker than the explosion just now.

But the arrow still didn't stop after blasting away the giant tree's body, but pierced into the mountain range behind, penetrated the thick rock formation, and finally pierced the mountain top, heading straight into the sky.

The clouds have dispersed, and the sunset is impossible to see.

——Looking at Lixiang from this angle, as long as the eyesight is enough, there is no problem at all seeing the sky on the other side of the mountain from here.

"boom---"

And at the same time that the boy's arrow pierced through the ground and the clouds, the huge figure also fell heavily on the ground, echoing a deep roar.

With just one arrow, the huge treant fell down. As the most basic life support system, it collapsed under this terrible arrow. Even the monsters growing here could not resist the powerful "god" A blow of power.

"It worked—"

The doctor said subconsciously as he looked at the rapidly diminishing magical response on the meter.

"senior……"

The Snowflake Shield in her hand turned into bits of light and disappeared. Ma Xiu looked at Li Xiang beside her and suddenly froze, as if in a daze, she couldn't help reminding him.

"........."

Li Xiang looked at the huge body that fell not far away, slowly narrowed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Why do I feel something is wrong?"

"Huh? Senior...? Senior?!"

Ma Xiu froze for a moment, then she watched Li Xiang suddenly run towards the huge fallen figure.

"Huh...huh...ho—"

Li Xiang kept running until he was out of breath until he ran in front of the tree man, but no one knew whether he was tired or suddenly realized some terrible truth.

"Woo... woo..."

There was still a little gleam on the huge tree man's chest, and at the same time, a soft sobbing sound came. For some reason, Lixiang felt a heartache when he heard the sobbing sound.

"you you……"

Li Xiang opened his mouth wide, he felt it, he felt... the pain and fragility of the creature in front of him.

"Are you...are you also...'God Tree'?"

The creatures in front of him were full of vitality, and Li Xiang's body trembled, which could only be felt from the purest elves.

He once smelled the lingering fragrance of this natural creature while studying runes, but now...he felt this soft breath from a life that...had dealt a fatal blow with his own hands.

At this moment, his previous strange feeling was fulfilled, but the time for this confirmation came too late, too late.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

The huge and innocent creature didn't seem to pay attention to him, it was still weeping softly, but even with this last pain, the last weeping became weaker and weaker.

"........."

Lixiang's legs softened and he knelt down on the ground.

Half a day ago, he had no psychological burden to despise the undisguised greed of the men in the village, but now...but now...

Ma Xiu walked slowly to Li Xiang's side, she stood silently behind the young man, she gradually understood what, also kept silent.

Wrong...is this wrong?

This is the divine tree, the tremor in the mountain is also the divine tree, and the one spreading the "plague" is also the divine tree. All of this is so different from what he imagined, so that when he suddenly realized it, it was already too late.

——Until at the end, the creature died with less and less sobs. What could he do in the end?

The dark green light slowly dissipated, and in the end, only a completely dead body remained here.

Chapter 41: Stars twinkle in the sky

——This used to be the place where they grew up.

But, not anymore.

Because there are more intellectual beings called human beings here, they occupy the land, reclaim the fields, build houses, and take away a lot of living space from them.

They are powerless to fight against these intelligent and sensitive species, because even if they are creatures favored by the earth, they reproduce slowly, and even they are not even counted as intellectual life, they are just fragile creatures with a little subconsciousness That's all.

Their reproduction speed is not fast. Even if the seeds are shed every year and take root and sprout, it is difficult for too many young trees to survive this long time to grow.

They took root from the moment the seeds fell, and they couldn't walk on the land that nourished them, but those humans could, they multiplied quickly, and it only took tens of thousands of years to spread their footprints all over the world. corner.

They will never be able to compare this point, so there is no need to fight with them, just keep this only home.

——But even this little wish turned into a luxury in the end.

Humans quickly discovered their value, and everything they had on them was of innumerable value to humans—so the slaughter began, which was more brutal than ever.

Human beings began to cut them down purposefully, without keeping one or the other, because their value had overshadowed all the ideals and bottom lines that should be maintained, and they fell in pieces.

Their remains built temples, built palaces, turned into food, and turned into utensils, but only in this mountain forest, their figures quickly disappeared until there was no one left.

——This kind of tragedy is completely dusted with the passing of the last seed, and perhaps it will never be known to others.

"........."

"Oh—here here!"

Suddenly, a rough shout broke the silence here.

As the sun was setting, a group of startled villagers immediately stopped their restlessness when they saw the mountains behind them, so they hurried here to see what happened.

Before they walked in, they saw the huge body that fell down.

"what is that--?"

With doubts in their hearts, the villagers speeded up, and it didn't take long before they came to the huge fallen figure.

"Oh—! This is—is this a sacred tree? Is there such a big sacred tree?!"

The villagers exclaimed, and looked at the fallen giant tree in front of them with eyes full of surprise, and then slowly, the amazement in their eyes turned into joy and greed.

"and many more--"

Suddenly, some sharp-eyed villagers saw the boy and girl next to the huge fallen tree.

"Who are you?!"

The eyes of the villagers suddenly became vigilant, they looked at Lixiang and Matthew, and asked loudly.

"........."

Lixiang stood up, looked at the villagers in front of her, and remained silent.

"Etc., etc!"

Suddenly someone in the crowd uttered a stop, and then the man who brought Lixiang and Matthew into the village pushed away the villagers at the front and came out from behind.

"You, is it you? What are you doing here?—wait, why are you here? It's you—"

The man pointed at Lixiang and Matthew, stunned for a moment, and then realized that his body, which had felt unwell shortly after meeting them before, relaxed a lot. With such associations, it was difficult for him not to associate the two of them with the fallen man. This huge monster is linked together.

"Yeah...it was me...I killed him."

Sensing the gazes from the surroundings, Lixiang closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and said something more in the eyes he opened again.

Slowly, the eyes of those villagers looking at Lixiang changed, and the original vigilance gradually turned into fear and reverence.

"Oh...it was you...were you the one who hunted down this terrifying monster?"

It was even unavoidable that some villagers boldly asked Lixiang a question. Although it was a question, it was no different from looking up in reverence. Obviously, only a powerful hero could defeat this terrible and dangerous monster.

"...Scary? No, He's not scary."

Li Xiang was silent for a moment, then shook his head lightly.

The eyes of the villagers couldn't help but be more solemn and full of admiration: they are worthy of being a powerful hero, and they have no fear even in the face of such a dangerous and terrifying monster.

"On the contrary, the scariest thing is you."

Li Xiang looked at the villagers who were looking at him yearningly, and said calmly.

"What...? My lord hero, what did you say?"

The villagers were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect, or they didn't even guess that Li Xiang would say such a thing.

But Lixiang's eyes told them that in fact, he still had more suppressed abuse that he didn't say.

"It was a mistake to kill him, the mistake I made..."

Li Xiang lowered her head, the last whimper of that natural creature remained in her mind.

"But what about you? You slaughtered the sacred tree from here, and you cleared the sacred tree out of this piece of land that should have been shared, and used it to gain benefits for you."

Lixiang's voice was soft but clear.

Many villagers bowed their heads when they heard the words, but in their eyes, there was still no repentance.

Some people sneered at Lixiang's words, but they did not refute them.

There was only one person, the tall man who had expressed extreme hostility to outsiders before, looked at the boy and glared at him.

He felt that his life was being pointed out by an outsider without knowing why, and he couldn't help shouting: "What do you know, you big kid! We are also people who have to live, and we also have old people and children to support. Don't we I also want to eat and sleep in the open like you..."

"This is not an excuse for you to greedily plunder life!!!"

Maybe it was because of helplessness, maybe it was because he couldn't bear it, or maybe it was just out of embarrassment, the young man let out a roar, and at the same time drew the dark red bow in his hand again, as if a dazzling light pierced directly beside the tall man's head. Pass.

The sun was setting, and the dragging huge shadow first covered the boy and the girl, and then engulfed the dull villagers.

The man was taken aback, and his body trembled slightly after the arrow passed through his ears like light.

Even the most courageous man in the village can hardly be compared with a hero.

Lixiang's hand holding the bow trembled.

Matthew's eyes widened, even she didn't expect Lixiang to shoot an arrow suddenly at this moment.

The arrows of the predecessors are not something humans can resist, if this arrow really hits...

Matthew silently walked to Lixiang's side, and gently pulled him.

"senior."

"me……"

Li Xiang slowly opened his eyes wide, even he himself didn't think that he would actually do it directly under such a situation.

What's even more frightening is that this situation is engraved in his body like an instinct. He just bent the bow and set the arrow without any stagnation or hesitation, and shooting the arrow is as easy as just snapping his fingers.

It was almost uncontrollable, and in the end, he quickly left here with Matthew.

From the perspective of those villagers, it was more like the companions around the hero dissuaded him, allowing them to save their lives.

"Did he—did they leave—?"

The villagers' eyes widened. They thought they were almost going to die just now.

"Well, if this is the case, let's cut down this tree as soon as possible. After all, the sacred tree needs to be processed as soon as possible to ensure the quality... so that it can be sold at a good price."

There was a lot of discussion among the villagers again, and some people immediately ran home to get an axe, ready to start cutting immediately, as if Li Xiang had never been here before.

"Goo...coo..."

Suddenly, a deep cry came from the sky, and a snow-white owl flew over and landed on the chest of the fallen huge body.

The clever bird, which symbolizes the goddess of wisdom and victory, blinked, looked at the huge body under its feet, and remained silent.

'—He knocked down the monster, but he didn't want to recognize it as his own merit, and instead thought it was his own sin. '

'...This kind of thinking is really interesting. Although the truth of it can be understood by everyone, but unfortunately, how many people can really do it? '

'Being able to have this kind of thinking, it seems that Chiron's teachings have played a certain role in him. '
