Volume 1 Blue Bird 38 The Spirit of the Giant Tree
At night, the mirror hangs high on the top of the mountain, and the two sides confront each other.
Chen Ren suddenly turned around and took out the sword in his hand, staring at the darkness in the forest. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to block the navigator behind him.
"Come out" he shouted sharply, full of ferocity.
"Sa, za" the sound of metal friction sounded, and a guard whose torso was wrapped in metal scales slowly came out of the forest. His face was covered with a metal mask and his expression could not be seen, and a long sword stood upright in his hand.
Heavy armor? Holding a long sword in hand? What's wrong with this? This was his first reaction when he saw the guards. He didn't understand military affairs, but he could also see that this equipment was not compatible with the forest.
"Now, go down the mountain and leave. Don't come near this place." The rude tone came again, still with a commanding tone.
There was a rustling sound of metal clashing behind the soldiers, and one after another soldiers walked out of the darkness of the woods, all wearing the same heavy armor, masks, and long swords.
The only difference is that one of the scales and Changge is stained with blood.
"Foreigners, get out of here. We are the Guards of the Country of Giant Trees. There is danger happening here, and there are wild beasts." The soldier with bloodstained eyes ignored the two of them and his tone was cold.
"I told you that you were a convoy, so I wouldn't have gone down the mountain. It was so late at night, I thought you were a robber." Chen Ren drew back his sword and prepared to pull Betty down the mountain with a smile on his face.
It is not appropriate for him to attract the attention of any official organization in the land of giant trees now. He can only try to keep a low profile like a tourist.
"Third and Fourth will escort them down the mountain." The leading soldier's tone was still indifferent, but he still thoughtfully arranged for two colleagues to escort the tourists down the mountain.
It is not clear whether it was surveillance or escort.
The two soldiers came out of the queue and followed Chen Ren closely. Even though they were wearing heavy armor, they still walked at a slow pace.
He glanced back at the heavily armored soldiers, and his intention to drive them away was obvious.
He greeted Betty, and together they turned around and strode down the mountain road. The heavy-armored guards followed closely, and they could keep up with the heavy steps.
On the mountain road, the journey was not long. Seeing that he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Chen Ren slowed down. He saw something in the dark and deep forest beside the mountain road. His senses, which were in and out of control, found a majestic breath of life.
, ancient yet immature.
The aura was so unique that it immediately aroused his interest, but at this time, the opponent's aura was obviously in a bad state.
After taking a closer look, I saw a cat that was completely black and about the size of an arm. It was lying in the bushes with no other movement except for the slight rise and fall of its chest.
Near the edge of the mountain road, a smell of blood came out.
Chen Ren winked at the navigator beside him. The two of them had been living on the same ship for more than a month, so they still had a tacit understanding.
"Who is so cruel? How could a cat be so cute? How could it hurt a cat?" Betty suddenly exclaimed, pointed to the depths of the bushes beside the mountain road, and trotted away quickly.
The heavily armored soldier behind him heard the sound, and the tourist in front of him rushed out suddenly. The two soldiers quickened their pace and followed him. However, the breathing sound coming from under the visor became heavier, and Chen Ren heard it clearly.
Betty turned over and entered the forest. The moonlight shone on the dense canopy of trees, and the shade of the trees was mottled. The black cat was lying among the shrubs in the forest, breathing weakly. She gently held it up with both hands, and the scars on the black cat's back were exposed, and the bones were deeply visible.
.
The moment she came into contact with the black cat's body, her eyes were startled. The black cat's hair was not as soft as she expected, but instead felt hard. She gently twisted the cat's hair with her fingers and pulled it out, but it didn't move at all.
"Don't run around and go down the mountain quickly." The guard behind her stepped across the trail and stood behind her with a cold tone. Another soldier held a long sword in his hand to guard the surroundings, as if there was some danger in the forest and would attack them.
"I can take it down the mountain with me. If I don't save it, it will die." The navigator held up the black cat with both hands and showed it to the soldiers, blinking his eyes and pouting his little mouth with a pitiful look.
The guards glanced at the black cat and didn't pay much attention to it. The size of this beast was hugely different from that of the beast they were wary of.
"Go down the mountain"
There was an expression of surprise on the navigator's face, and the black cat was held tightly in his arms, running towards his captain, even though the blood stained his clothes red, he didn't even notice.
The guards didn't leave until they reached the tent at the foot of the mountain.
The bonfire was lit and the black cat was laid flat on the ground. Chen Ren took out some healing fluid and poured it on the wound, then wrapped it with gauze.
"Captain, what on earth is this black cat?" Betty asked aloud, sitting by the campfire, staring at the black cat that was still in a coma.
She didn't believe that the captain would lend a helping hand to a strange black cat for no reason. After all, they came to the country of giant trees for the blood condensation beads. The healing effect was an unexpected surprise, and it could be seen from the captain's attitude towards the soldiers.
He didn't want to alarm the national power.
"I don't know, but I can sense two contradictory auras from it, constantly intertwined." Chen Ren blinked at Betty, and the bandaged black cat ears moved slightly.
"Just do it casually, don't worry about it."
Betty also noticed that the black cat might have woken up, so she did not dwell on this issue. Instead, she began to discuss their plans for the Autumn Harvest Festival in the next few days.
Until late at night, the black cat who had woken up did not show any movement.
The bright moon was high, the lights in the tent were extinguished, and the black cat opened its eyes next to the campfire. The injury on its back prevented it from moving. It had no ability to resist at all and could only listen to the conversation between the two in secret.
In the corner that it didn't notice, a three-eyed crow had a panoramic view of everything and was on guard around it.
"Captain, how do we deal with it?" Betty asked softly in the tent. They were both lying in their own sleeping bags. Although they were sleeping in the same tent, there was no charming atmosphere.
Since arriving on the island, she has been able to realize that the captain is hiding something from her. He only told her that she could obtain the blood clot beads but refused to tell her the specific method.
"Try it with the healing fruit tomorrow morning. I have some clues about its majestic vitality." Sensing that the navigator was a little anxious, Chen Ren whispered a few words of comfort. Of course he knew what Betty was anxious about, but
Still no specific plan has been announced.
Just talking about some things is not as profound as experiencing them yourself.
There was no talking all night, as dusk passed and morning came.
In the early morning, the humidity in the forest was particularly obvious, and the tent's outer skin was covered with traces of dewdrops. The zipper made a sound, and Chen Ren emerged from the tent. The bonfire had long been extinguished, and the black cat was still lying in the same position as yesterday without moving at all.
The dewdrops soaked the pure black fur, and the bandage was soaked.
The bandage fell off, revealing the wound that had obviously healed a lot. As the healing fluid poured down again, the black cat stopped pretending and looked at Chen Ren with its green pupils.
"Can you give me a piece of healing fruit? Lord Jumu." Seeing the black cat wake up, Chen Ren whispered its identity. Such a majestic breath of life cannot appear in front of this black cat who is not even a cloud beast.
On the body.
The only possibility is that the giant tree that has survived for who knows how long gave birth to Lingzhi and became a member of the Spirit Clan.
