Chapter 138: Ummh! Why is Yuan Zhan so obedient?
From the day of entering the Black Forest, after a full 20 days, Yan Mo and his party finally reached the junction of the Black Forest and Qingyuan Lake.
Then front, here they can go south along the shore of Qingyuan Lake, which is as big as the inner sea, and then they can reach Jiu Yuan territory.
When more than 300 people walked out of the forest and saw the waves of the lake, they cheered. It was as if the people who were imprisoned for many days were finally free. Many people couldn’t wait to go to the lake to wash their faces. There are also streams in the forest, but how can those creeks and water pools compare to this endless blue sky and blue lake?
Yan Mo can fully understand their actions and moods, not to mention those who have not lived in the forest, that is, he used to follow The Guide map into the deep forest, and he almost could not stand it in there.
The Black Forest, the Black Forest, and Yan Mo did not understand why it was called the Black Forest until they passed from it
The plants in the forest completely surpassed any forest that he had seen and entered in his previous life. For most of the month, he traveled through the dense woods every day. He looked up and saw only the fragmented sunlight. Sometimes the trees grew too dense. It is like a cloudy day, not to mention the evening. In addition, there are too many tall trees, and there are always similar scenery around. After a long walk, people are prone to confusion and depression. They are even more likely to grow suspicious. In the evening, children get up and pee, and they often cry and scream and the Da Ren didn't dare to leave them and go lot of places.
If it’s not that, he can’t see it right, all the way, he had to find ways to relax everyone’s emotions, and keep saying that they will be going out soon he is afraid that even if there are no beasts and other tribe attacks, how many people in the last three hundred people will come out really. Is an unknown number.
Although Yan Mo has been comforting others, he is actually the most nervous one.
He can't fully believe Old Sa Má and Maple Clan, not because of their race, he is equally wary of anyone, any intelligent creature. Even if he trust Jiu Feng, it took a long time for them living together to gain his trust.
Until today, he finally walked out of the Black Forest and saw the vast and innocent Qingyuan Lake. He slowly spit out a breath of relief. At least at this time, he has no worries.
Yuan Zhan saw that he didn't keep up, and he said something to Zheng next to him, turned, and walked back.
“You take people a little further, and then camp in the evening and rest by the lake, I will stay in the forest for a while, you don't have to wait for me, and I will go back to the tribe after solving some problems." Yan Mo stood in the shadow of the trees.
Sitting in the sun, Yuan Zhan seems to dislike this kind of demarcation. He walked into the darkness and walked up to Yan Mo to stop. His eyes subconsciously fall to Yan Mo's lower abdomen, and his lips stretch into a straight line.
“This problem must be solved," Yan Mo explained. Yuan Zhan woke up that morning, and Yan Mo explained to him about The Fruit of Witchcraft. Yuan Zhan, as a tribal leader, must be told but he changed his mind a bit and only said that he would cultivate The Fruit of Witchcraft because incarnation of The Son of Life requires Old Sa Má help.
“Do you really want to kill our children?"
Yan Mo's eyelids twitched, “...how many times I told you, and The Son of Life is not your son!"
“Don't kill him." Yuan Zhan, who always radiated a feeling of sinister poison and murder, showed a hint of pleading in his tone.
Yan Mo has nothing to say to this person. Since he told the other person that The Fruit of Witchcraft can be transformed into a child if it is properly cultivated. This animal recognizes that this fruit is given to him and will become his child by the goddess fate!
“Don't follow me! Hurry and take people away!"
Yuan Zhan stopped his pleading and sent Yan Mo into the forest, his face was instantly gloomy and terrible.
He has never told Mo that since he woke up that day, every night he was close to Mo, he would hear a child crying for help. The child still can't talk, but his cry is full of fear, he is afraid that someone is going to kill him! Don't ask him how he knows, anyway, he can feel it! Maybe this is a father and son nature?
Getting along for so long, he knows that his Priest Da Ren is not as honest as his face, nor is he a softhearted person. In addition, Mo always wanted to leave him. Once he had a child, he had a weakness. If he were Mo, he would not let this child come to the world because the child will tie them together.
Yes, he is suspicious of his Priest Da Ren, suspecting that he did not want to breed The Son of Life, but intends to kill their child.
He can't allow his Priest to do this. This is his first child, or Mo child. This is a reward from the ancestors. Maybe there will not be such opportunity in the future. He must keep this child!
However, what is he going to do?
Yuan Zhan stared at Yan Mo's disappeared figure and prevented him from following up? Hey! Is he Yuan Zhan so obedient?
What did his family Priest Da Ren say? That depends on the content of the command!
Yuan Zhan turned his head. He had to go and tell Zheng to go a little farther and wait for him. On the way, he would say hello to The Mer-people in Qingyuan Lake.
Yan Mo is completely unaware that his farm animal has been confused by another consciousness of The Fruit of Witchcraft, and he does not know what kind of changes it will bring to him. However, he was too lazy to talk to Yuan Zhan, he would return directly to the woods and wait for Old Sa Má to appear.
Old Sa Má soon appeared.
“You are coming so fast, you wouldn't have followed us all the time?" Yan Mo joked.
Old Sa Má laughed. "My roots are already all over the forest. As long as I am in this forest, I can appear anywhere."
Yan Mo didn't speak for a while, how big is this Black Forest? They walked in the forest for twenty days before they came out. This is still because they walked a straight road. They are more women and children, and the forest is not very good and even, but there were Maple Clan secretly moving trees to let them walk easily on the road, basically one day they can also walk about twenty-five kilometers or so, twenty days down, that is five hundred kilometers.
From the map provided by The Guide, this distance is only a small part of the Black Forest near Qingyuan Lake, and there is a big tail behind it, and the big tail if the forest is beyond the display range of the map.
Old Sa Má's roots are all over the forest, and it's really not too easy to kill all of them! He should be glad that the other party is broad-minded, or he should feel lucky to have a piece of The Fruit of Witchcraft?
What! The Fruit of Witchcraft, it really is the fruit that will bring luck to the witch.
Yan Mo suddenly thought of one thing. "So I think you must know a kind of gray-green, short-skinned humanoid."
“You mean The Chiu?" The laughter in Old Sa Má’s voice disappeared.
“I don't know the other tribe's name, but I have seen them, they are probably only high to my waist , their teeth are sharp, they use tools, their language is simple, they're very fierce, and like to eat meat."
“That is them." Old Sa Má voice was full of disappointment. "That is a greedy tribe. They are a great disaster in the Black Forest."
“Did you and Maple Clan drove them out of the Black Forest?"
“No, they were greedy, but they could not dare to enter the black. The forest animals don't dare to provoke Maple Clan or me. They usually live in a forest near Longbei Mountain. I am also very surprised that one day, they are like a tribe who met a terrible natural enemy, they were fleeing in a very flustered way into deep in the forest, I wanted to expel them, but they ran out of the Black Forest.”
“You don’t know why?”
Old Sa Má shook his head. “I went to the place where they lived and saw no signs of them being attacked.”
"Did anyone pass or cross the Black Forest during that time?" Yan Mo conspirator mind gave birth to a mystery.
Old Sa Má shook his head again. "Occasionally, humans will come from the Fushen Mountain to cross the Black Forest, or find prey to to collect medicines in the forest. But during that time, there were no intelligent creatures entering the Black Forest, maybe things that scared The Chiu people only passed by the forest where they live. If this is the case, it is difficult for me to know who they are without paying attention."
This is a mystery. Yan Mo doesn't know the answer and he can only put it into the back of the mind for a while.
Old Sa Má also put this matter in his mind because of Yan Mo's question, and plans to go to the place where The Chiu people lived and to look for things around. However, this is a matter to be done in the future. The first thing to solve now is an unscrupulous child who is hiding in the earth and eavesdropping.
Although the 5th Rank warrior is powerful, he is only a slightly more powerful child for him, not to mention the fact that the earth warriors will always suffer from the longevity of the wood system.
Old Sa Má smiled. "Since you are fortunate enough to combine the live species of my Maple Clan, then you can understand the power of the wood system underneath."
Yan Mo didn't know that Yuan Zhan came in. He was still thinking about other issues.
“Are you afraid?" Under the foot, Old Sa Má was seeing Yuan Zhan a 5th Rank warrior. Seeing Yan Mo has not asked for it to plant branches for him, he could not help but smile.
“A bit." Yan Mo told the truth.
“If you are afraid, you can't do this, maybe..."
“No!" Waiting for Old Sa Má, Yan Mo interrupted it: "I have decided, come on!"
Old Sa Má did not speak immediately, "I will remind you once again. This is not the pain you have experienced in the past. If you fail, your end will be very bad. And even if you succeed, you can only suppress the ignorant consciousness and cannot kill it. Moreover, if you want to communicate with The Fruit of Witchcraft, you can't eliminate its original consciousness unless..."
“Unless what?"
Old Sa Má said for a long time: "Unless your child can completely control The Fruit of Witchcraft."
"But before that, we must suppress the evil consciousness first, right?" For his son, Yan Mo simply characterized the original consciousness of The Fruit of Witchcraft as evil.
Old Sa Má let out a laugh, and Yan Mo’s thoughts on how it can’t be seen? However, since the ancestors can let another soul enter The Fruit of Witchcraft, whatever the result is, it will be God's meaning. God cannot only give compassion to people... they are sometimes very stubborn.
“Child, have you ever thought about it, maybe the two souls in The Fruit of Witchcraft are your children?"
“What?!" Yan Mo didn't think of it at all.
“Before I couldn't figure out why there are two souls in The Fruit of Witchcraft. I thought it was God's meaning at first, but have you ever wondered why some smart creatures can make The Son of Life incarnate, while others only can raise the greedy The Fruit of Witchcraft?”
“Because...”
“Because smart creatures always have both good and evil sides.” Old Sa Má gave the answer.
“I’m thinking, The Fruit of Witchcraft is the same, it’s one creature. It’s beginning to understand, only the simplest and most primitive desire to eat, only if the intelligent creatures that raise it tell it what is good, what is evil, it can then learn to distinguish and grow. Children are pure minded creatures, but that can also mean pure evil, just like The Fruit of Witchcraft."
Then Old Sa Má solemnly said: "Maybe you should not think about how to suppress and eliminate the evil consciousness, but teach your child from now on, let him bravely face the real and all of his self, and start to grow."
“But if The Fruit of Witchcraft really has two souls? And that day your little Little Sa Má did suppress the evil consciousness. If the two consciousness’s in The Fruit of Witchcraft are my children, then both consciousness’s should be suppressed."
“No, you still don't understand what I mean. The ancestors may have divided your child's soul. One of them has only an ignorant consciousness, with only the most basic desires, and the other has all the memories of your child." Old Sa Má's voice was very soft, “but the ignorant consciousness can directly control The Fruit of Witchcraft, even affecting the intelligent creature, and the consciousness will have your child's memory hidden deeper, only in this way is in line with The Fruit of Witchcraft growing up.”
Yan Mo understood. “You mean that I shouldn't suppress the ignorant consciousness. I should let the two consciousness’s merge and make my son's soul complete, right?”
Old Sa Má nostalgic nodded. "Any intelligent creature, any life, has the most primitive desire. Because of this desire, life can continue. God never asks us to annihilate our primitive desire, but God hopes that we can control them. We only have your child's memory. There is no basic desire for consciousness. How can he become a real life? Child think about it, you want to have your child with the memory of The Fruit of Witchcraft, or do you want to return to complete the soul of your child? Think it over, think carefully, and do not be fooled by appearances. "
Yan Mo was caught in a dilemma, Old Sa Má say is it single. In terms of speculation, he did not dare to gamble.
“You say even if I successfully merged into Soul Return Tree, I could only suppress the ignorant consciousness and could not eliminate it, right?"
“Yes."
“And you told me that morning, The Fruit of Witchcraft usually can only get the nutrients by tempting the host. Generally, it will not actively attack the flesh and blood creatures. The wood family is the most attractive with the longevity, but the longevity will touch it won't it absorb the vitality of the longevity?"
Yan Mo's way of obtaining nutrients for The Fruit of Witchcraft is directly understood as: The Fruit of Witchcraft is the baby, the vitality of the woody longevity tribe is the best milk for it, and other foods can be eaten, but it must be others who will help it deal with it first, such as directly putting blood on it.
“Yes. The Fruit of Witchcraft is like an undead mosquito before it becomes The Son of Life. Although it is not very powerful, the longevity people who have 10th Rank warrior fight can help starve it and Fire attack is the only method to keep it in check. It takes a long time to starve it to death. The fire attack also requires a fairly large, fairly long-lasting flame."
“So if it has not been able to get nutrients, will it jump directly off the host?" "Yan Mo thinks that The Fruit of Witchcraft will get into his body and it may be related to feeling that he can't die." Will the other party mistakenly think that he is also a kind of longevity family that is better absorbed?
Old Sa Má was not talking to Yan Mo.
Yan Mo saw the deep sympathy for him from the other's raft.
Old Sa Má told the truth: "In fact, I have always been very curious, how can The Fruit of Witchcraft live in your body?"
Yan Mo felt his mouth go sour. "Give me branches. I don't want to In the future, I will be sucked up by adults.”
Old Sa Má finally asked: “Have you decided?”
Yan Mo couldn’t help but regret it. If you don't talk about his son, if the Soul Return Tree branch can successfully sprout in his body, he can also successfully merge, then he cannot suppress the Fruit of Witchcraft by this point, let the little bastard have no nutrient to absorb, forcing it to get out of his body?
“Then go back to the place where my family Sa Má seedlings is with me, only there, I can disturb The Fruit of Witchcraft with the branch implanted in your body."
“How long am I going to be there?"
“Until the branches in your body sprout, I will find ways to speed up the process and avoid losing too much of your vitality, but it will take at least three or five days."
