Weirwood was a precious wood with powerful functions. The Weirwood God was also a good person, but the image of weirwood was too horrifying.
The leaves were like blood-stained palms, the trunk was like the bones of a dead person, and the roots were like entwined sticky snake balls. It was very demonic.
At this time, the cave under the weirwood hill did not even need special effects to film a Chinese Ghost Story.
If the squirrel Leaf was taller, his eyes would not be so clear, and his expression would be more ferocious …
It was a living example of Granny Tree Spirit's cave.
But this was not a fairy's cave, but a sacred sanctuary, the last home of the Children of the Forest.
"… Not only our home, but the giants also live in the cave. This sanctuary belonged to the previous generation of the Lost Tribe. Once, even unicorns and mammoths would come in for the winter.
There is more than one entrance to the sanctuary, but the Green Prophet guards the door of the world and lives closer to the edge of the world.
If you follow the fork to the northwest, you may find the giant's cave after a few months and a few thousand kilometers. "Leaf introduced the cave to everyone as they walked.
The others were surprised, but Jorah Mormont, a child who grew up listening to the stories of the old nannies in the north, was suddenly touched and exclaimed, "The Gorney Passage! This is the source of the Gorney Passage. So the legend is true. "
"What is the Gorney Passage?" The fat eunuch Beworth was puzzled.
"I remember, I've heard of this rumor too!"
Garth Hightower said, "Legend has it that there was a king beyond the Great Wall named Gorney who found a tunnel connecting the Great Wall and the North. He led the barbarians directly across the Great Wall to the North …
It's strange, there was almost no threat to the North. The king of the North seemed to have received the news in advance and was guarding the entrance of the tunnel. "
Big Bear nodded and said, "Legend has it that for a cave, a tribe of Children of the Forest and a family of giants fought endlessly. After that, the two tribes invited free people to be the referee and mediator.
They were the future kings of beyond the Great Wall, the 'Brother Kings', Jander and Gorney.
The giants and Children of the Forest were too naive. They were deceived by the Brother Kings and gave up on the cave.
After Jander and Gorney settled down in the cave, they found that the internal tunnel led to a series of almost endless caves.
In the end, they discovered a secret passage that led underground through the Great Wall, which was the Gorney Passage.
Legend had it that the tunnel was too complicated, and only Gurney could tell the direction. In the end, when Gurney came out of the tunnel, he was attacked head-on by Stark and died on the spot.
Jander led the rest of the barbarians into the tunnel, planning to return the way they came. However, they could not find the way home.
They can't even return to the surface and are completely lost in the tunnels that are more complicated than a spider web. "
The centaur and Bevois listened with fascination.
"Are we in the legendary cave? It's several thousand kilometers from the Great Wall to here. Just how deep is the cave? "Lakarlo exclaimed.
In fact, even Danny had heard of the story of the Gorney Passage and the King of Brothers.
In fact, this legend was too legendary. There were giants, children of the forest, ancient spirits, human heroes, the king of the north, secret passageways, and many mysterious elements … It could be said to be the model of a legendary story. It was made into a ballad and sung by countless people.
"Was the failure of the barbarians' invasion because of your information?" Garth looked at the Son of the Forest suspiciously.
"The Gorney brothers deserved it." Leaf did not answer the question directly.
Danny was deep in thought. The magic circle of the shelter was exactly the same as the Great Wall. It was the Exorcism Circle of the 'City Builder' Brandon Stark.
The Son of the Forest, or the Green Prophet, had an unimaginably close relationship with Stark!
"Where does the end of the tunnel lead to?" Danny asked curiously.
"There's no end. There are some deep tunnels that even we, the Son of the Forest, have never been to."
After passing through a tunnel, Danny noticed that the tunnel was wider, wider, and deeper. The black soil and white tree roots almost formed a black and white underground city.
However, this city was sparsely populated and backward.
Bypassing the giant tree roots that were thicker than Bevois' waist, they entered a long stone hall. Thousands of shrines were dug out from the stone walls on both sides, and there were skulls placed in them.
The skulls obviously belonged to different races. There were human skulls, as big as pressure cookers, belonging to giants. There were also skulls as big as cantaloupes, belonging to the Son of the Forest. There were also skulls of direwolves, giant bears, and other animals that Danny could not recognize.
Some of the bones had existed for too long and were half-buried in the soil. White tree roots grew out of the eyes and mouths of the skulls, and even delicate red palm leaves grew out.
It seemed that the squirrel man was not lying. The shelter belonged to everyone, all the survivors of the last era.
"Caw, caw, caw …" There were seven or eight big crows perched on the heads of the shrines.
They seemed to have woken up from a deep sleep, and their bright black eyes curiously scanned Danny and the other strangers.
Yes, curious.
These crows were all human and intelligent.
"They are my compatriots." There was a strange sadness in the voice of the squirrel man, Leaf.
Danny heard the emotion in her words, but did not understand the secret that she vaguely revealed.
After that, they met other squirrel men.
There was a cave larger than a football field, and stone pillars hung down from the top of the cave.
Because the air was warm and humid, there was a layer of colorful mushrooms on the surface of the stone pillars. Four or five squirrel men were singing as they picked the mushrooms.
The squirrel men only had four fingers, and they did not have nails like humans. Instead, they were like the sharp claws of felines, and they could cut the mushroom stems with a light pinch.
Their singing was as pure as the winter air, as clear as autumn spring water, as bright as a spring garden, and as intense as the summer sun.
Danny and the knights all stopped in their tracks, intoxicated by the squirrel men's singing, unable to extricate themselves.
Danny only came to her senses when the squirrel men picking mushrooms noticed the outsiders and stopped what they were doing, stopped singing, and poked their heads out to look around curiously.
"Another legend has been confirmed — the Son of the Forest has the most beautiful singing voice in the world," Danny exclaimed.
The squirrel men gathered together and chattered, pointing at the Dragon Queen.
"What are they talking about?" Big Bear frowned.
"They're saying that the Queen is really beautiful, and that human clothes can also be so beautiful," Yezi said.
Yep, all the Children of the Forest wore clothes woven from leaves, and their hair was messy with dried decorative flowers.
Even the country bumpkin girls were more fashionable than them.
If the squirrel men were close to nature and pursued primitive beauty, they were not.
They were dirty, messy, and pitiful like beggars.
To put it bluntly, the Children of the Forest's civilization level was too low, so low that it made one's hair stand on end. They hadn't evolved into the textile industry — it was said that the squirrel men had millions of years of history.
"I thought that the Children of the Forest spoke the ancient language. I didn't expect you to have your own language," Danny said strangely.
She could hear the squirrel men's singing and their current conversation, but she couldn't understand them.
She also knew the ancient language used by giants, deviants, Green Prophet, and ancient barbarian tribes!
"This is the original language, the language that praises the earth. It's very difficult for humans to understand, and even if they understand, they can't pronounce it.
The free people call us' children ', the giants call us' squirrel men ', and the ancestors named us' Children of the Forest ', but that's not accurate. "
"We are 'people who sing the praises of the earth'."
"But the original language isn't exclusive to us. Many creatures passed down from ancient eras can speak it, such as ravens and your Megalosaurus," Leaf explained.
"Megalosaurus can speak the original language?"
Danny's heart skipped a beat. She thought of the foreign language that Dahei suddenly learned after swallowing the rat chef.
She thought that it was the common "dragon language" in western fantasy novels because she couldn't understand it, so she specially taught it the "eastern dragon language".
Now that Dahei was about to graduate from the "eastern dragon language" elementary school, Mother Dragon realized that she had made a big mistake.
"I've traveled in the southern continent for hundreds of years and am proficient in many languages. But my people don't have the same experience. They can only speak the original language. "
After that, they came across a dark and deep underground river. Two Children of the Forest were happily fishing by the river.
It was almost like they were playing. They threw a net the size of a bed sheet woven from rattan into the river and waited for white blind fish the length of an arm to crash into it.
They walked across the narrow stone bridge above the underground river and came face to face with four or five shepherds who were dozing off on the backs of sheep.
Hundreds of sheep were scattered in the cave, nibbling on the fungus on the ground and the tender branches and red leaves growing from the roots of the weirwood. The squirrelman crawled in the fluffy wool and snored.
This simple life was …
Too comfortable, too leisurely.
One had to know that there were thousands of ghouls outside the cave!
Not to mention that the long night was coming …
It seemed that the long night had no effect on the shelter's cave?
It was already dark outside the cave. The snow was like a cotton blanket, covering the forest. The temperature was 40 to 50 degrees below zero. It was as warm as spring here, there were abundant resources, and life was boundless.
Perhaps, humans had gone extinct in this era. The Children of the Forest, who were on the verge of extinction in the last era, could still happily enter the next era.
Danny began to think. Should they also dig a cave and build a human underground city?
The Red Purgatory next to Slave Bay had a surface close to the magma layer. If they really dug a cave, it would probably be warmer and more comfortable than here.
"Ah Duo, Ah Duo …"
After entering a huge hall filled with weirwood and tree roots, a three-meter-tall giant stood up and looked over.
"Ah Duo …" Danny was shocked.
He was 2.7 meters tall, and his body was as wide as a door plank. His shoulders were as thick as Winterfell's city walls. Brown eyes, brown hair … His eyes were wise and curious.
He was not Ah Duo!
Ah Duo was a simple and honest retard.
At this moment, no matter how many times the giant at the entrance of the huge cave called out "Ah Duo", he was not Ah Duo.
His gaze, mental waves, and aura were not Ah Duo's.
"Bran Stark?" Danny stopped in her tracks and frowned.
"Ah — Ah Duo!" In the next moment, Ah Duo really became Ah Duo.
"Ah Duo …" He smiled foolishly at her like a child.
"You're here." Blinden River Wen's weak voice came from behind.
"Ah Duo …" Ah Duo scratched the back of his head and shrunk his neck to make way.
Compared to the other caves, this stone hall was not very spacious. It was about the size of a basketball court. There was a bonfire at the entrance of the cave. Ah Duo and two humans sat beside the fire.
In the middle of the hall, a throne was woven out of weirwood. A "corpse" was growing among the branches.
The roots drilled into the withered thighs, passed through the torso, and came out from the shoulders.
Dark red leaves grew on his skull, and countless gray mushrooms covered his forehead.
What little skin remained stretched across his face, tight and hard like white leather. Here and there, brown or yellow bones protruded from the muscles.
This was definitely not a living person!
"You're also a Deviant Ghost!" Danny was shocked.
