GOR Chapter 75: Fountain of Life
Sure enough, the Treants did not attack. Instead, they used slow and heavy steps to retreat. However … the most frightening thing was, behind them, more trees began to emit buzzing sounds as they pulled out their huge bodies from the snow and turned into living creatures …
Du Wei felt his blood run cold as he looked at the large expanse of forest before him. Within his field of vision, all the trees were pulling out their roots and shaking off the snow on their bodies. Then, like wooden puppets, they surrounded them …
"Heavens … how many are there!" Dadaneier sighed.
"Only God knows! This is a forest! How big is this frozen forest? How many trees are there here? One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? Bloody Hell … "Du Wei scolded." But why are they not attacking? Instead, they are surrounding them, as if waiting for something … "
Indeed, these Treants were indeed waiting.
Soon, the sound of heavy footsteps came from afar. Du Wei could feel the heavy vibrations coming from the ground!
Surprisingly, the large group of Treants parted to form a path. A huge monster slowly walked out from the group of Treants!
Du Wei's first impression was: This guy is really damn big!
If the other Treants were like giants … then this biggest one would be a giant amongst giants!
Du Wei estimated that this thing was at least seven or eight storeys high! Its entire body was black and hard, and its withered bark was mottled, as if it was rusted! The branches and leaves on its body were extremely lush. As it walked, the branches and leaves on its body emitted rustling sounds …
What Du Wei noticed was that this biggest Treant … in terms of external appearance, it was the closest to the shape of a 'human'!
Because its roots were clearly divided into two, like a human's two legs. The trunk on its body was also clearly divided into a shape similar to the English letter 'Y'. The branches on both sides were like two large hands! The branches branching out from the top were like fingers.
Du-Wei saw that in the Big Tree's "hand", there was a large round object wrapped in dense vines hanging from its finger. From the shape … … it looked like a … ….
Horn!?
What made Du Wei even more surprised was that on the trunk of this big tree, there seemed to be a 'face'!
That sharp protrusion seemed to be a nose, and under the nose, there was a horizontal opening. The overturned bark on both sides of the opening was exceptionally thick, as if it was a lip …
All the other Treants seemed to be very afraid of this big guy. One by one, they retreated behind it … It seems that this is the leader of the Treants, Du Wei thought.
"You … all …" The leader of the Treants spoke in a deep and deep voice.. Although it was very rough, Du Wei could barely recognize that it was human language ….
Hell! It actually knows how to speak the common language of the Roland Continent?
"Why … did … you … kill … my … companions …" Its voice echoed in the forest, dragging out its last syllable. Its deep voice was filled with anger.
Du Wei gathered his courage and poked his body out of the rock. Looking at this big guy, he shouted, "It was you who attacked us first!!"
"You … didn't … abide … by … the … promise!!" The leader of the Treants was very angry. Its treetop was trembling, "The … Evil … Eye … Tyrant … promised … that … every … ten … years … it … would … allow … us … to … send … people … into … the … canyon … once …!"
Its voice seemed to be questioning, "Today! Today … is … the … promise … of ten years! Why … do … you … have to … slaughter … my … people … at … the canyon entrance! Don't tell me … the Evil Eye Tyrant … wants … to … start … a … war … with … us … treants! "
Ten years? Promise day? Evil Eye Tyrant? War?
Du Wei immediately understood … this was probably a misunderstanding.
Seeing that the leader of the Treants was about to fly into a rage, Du Wei immediately stood up straight and shouted loudly, "Wait a minute! Can I ask you a question first? "
The leader of the Treants looked at Du Wei.
Du Wei took a deep breath and tried to use the friendliest tone, "May I ask, what is the 'Evil Eye Tyrant' that you mentioned? I don't recognize that thing. "
Once he said this, the Treants and the three humans became silent. Fortunately, the Treants didn't have eyes. Otherwise, it would definitely be a beautiful scene of "staring at each other."
"You … aren't … the Evil Eye Tyrant's … subordinates?"
"No. I have never heard of this name. "
"Then … what … are … you?"
Du Wei jumped out from behind the rock and opened his arms. He looked at himself up and down and smiled, "Do you still need to ask? We are humans! Could it be that you have never seen a human before? "
The leader of the Treants was silent for a while. His thick legs took a few steps forward and then his huge body bent down slightly. The tree crown also pressed down. He seemed to be carefully looking at Du Wei for a while. Then the leader of the Treants stood up straight again. His tone had a hint of joy.
"Oh! You … are … humans! I … remember … humans … a long time ago … a … human … friend … taught … me … to speak … "
Du Wei let out a sigh of relief. However, although this leader of the Treants was slow, he wasn't stupid. The joy in his tone changed and turned into anger, "But … you … hurt … my … companions!!"
"It was your companions who attacked us first." Du Wei seemed to be sure that these Treants were easy to bully, "We were standing here peacefully. Your companions appeared and attacked us with rocks first."
"Oh …" The leader of the Treants muttered as if he was thinking. Then he said loudly, "Okay … it's … my … companions … first …"
His slow way of speaking made Du Wei somewhat impatient, so he said first, "If that's the case, can we go now?"
"No …" The leader of the Treants was not good with words, but he quickly found the most suitable word to express his meaning, "Compensation!!!"
Compensation?
Du Wei was startled … Compensation for the seventy to eighty Treants that were destroyed by Hussain? How to compensate? With gold coins? God, what use did the Treants have for gold coins?
Did they have to pay with their lives?
F * ck! Cutting down a few trees would result in a death sentence? How could there be such a logic in this world!
Moreover, no matter what, Du Wei felt that his side was in the right. After all, the three of them were standing here perfectly fine. It was these Treants who threw rocks first — rocks that were enough to smash a person into a pulp. Then, his side was only retaliating in self-defense … Could it be that the three of them were just going to stand here and let a group of trees smash them to death?
However, it was obvious that reasoning with this slow and stubborn Treant would not work.
Du Wei thought for a while and remembered what this guy said before. He immediately had an idea.
"Respected Mr. Treant, may I ask, what is the Evil Eye Tyrant that you mentioned just now? And … I heard that you mentioned … war? "
… …
The Treant was not a qualified narrator. His slow and deep voice was like the old-fashioned sound player that Du Wei had seen in his previous life. It was a short matter, but he spoke until the sun went down before he could barely explain it clearly.
It was similar to what Du Wei had guessed.
In this land, according to the leader of the Treants, the entire Frozen Forest belonged to the Treants … This statement made Du Wei feel that he was bragging. Because Du Wei had been in this forest for many days, he had never seen a tree that could come alive before.
The leader of the Treants — Oh, by the way, this cumbersome big guy introduced himself. He had a name that matched his identity: Wood. (Du Wei: WOOD??)
In Wood's words, he was born in this land and lived in this land. He was a standard, pure-blooded Treant. As for whether the Treants also had the so-called "bloodline", Du Wei did not care. But Wood's words revealed two things that Du Wei felt were very interesting:
First of all, the large group of Treants standing in front of him … were not real Treants. The real Treant was only Wood. And Wood claimed that he was the last Treant left in this land. As for the companions beside him, they were all "companions" that he used the horn that was wrapped in vines in his hand to wake them up.
Du Wei guessed that the so-called "companions" probably meant "subordinates".
That horn had a name that Du Wei felt was very magical: "Nature's Horn". This was a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Treants. When the horn was blown, it could wake up the surrounding trees and make these trees become "companions" that would listen to their commands.
The inheritance of the Treant Tribe was also very surprising to Du-Wei. They had no gender distinction, and their inheritance was also passed down through the "Nature's Horn".
The general method was: The "companions" that were awakened by the Nature's Horn had no intelligence and self-awareness in the beginning. They would only act according to the orders of the real Treants, simple actions.
"But why did they attack us?" Du Wei questioned.
Old Wood's answer made Du Wei feel very regretful: Because the evil Evil Eye Tyrant had been destroying this forest, all the trees hated that guy, and everyone thought that the three humans standing at the mouth of the canyon were the evil Evil Eye Tyrant's subordinates … Forgive these Treant "companions" that had no intelligence, they did not know how to distinguish between humans and humans.
The awakened "companions" did not have much self-awareness in the beginning, but as time passed, they would slowly develop self-awareness. And there was only a small chance that a very small number of them would develop self-awareness. At that time, they could become real "Treants" and not the "companions" that Wood spoke of.
Originally, in this forest, according to Wood, there were a few real tree-men. There were not many of them, only about three to five. The Treants had always been a race with a small population. Uh, this made Du Wei feel very helpless. There were clearly trees everywhere, but the ones that could become real Treants were really too few. Most of them could only stay at the level of unconscious "companions".
Of the original three to five Treants, Wood was the oldest one. According to Old Wood's words, they lived happily in this forest. They did not have any natural enemies … Because no matter if it was magic beasts or other things, they would not be a threat to them.
Until one day …
In this "beautiful and harmonious" place (Old Wood's original words), an evil and powerful existence came. That fellow was called the "Evil Eye Tyrant". It tyrannically plundered the most precious treasure that belonged to the Treants: this canyon!
Although this forest was infinitely vast, this small canyon was the most indispensable thing for the Treants!
Because … In this canyon, there was a treasure that was related to whether or not the Treants could pass down from generation to generation! Unfortunately, that treasure had been taken by the evil Evileye Tyrant!
What was hateful was that when the angry Treants brought their "companions" to find this evil fellow to reason with, this fellow's strength caused the Treants to suffer heavy losses. That Evil Eye Tyrant had powerful magic, and it even cruelly killed Wood's clansmen! Originally, there were three to five real Treants, but now, only Wood was left. The others had all been killed by the Evil Eye Tyrant. Furthermore, the evil Evil Eye Tyrant had even used their bodies to create his own palace, which was right in this canyon.
The angry Wood blew the Nature's Horn and gathered a large group of companions to attack this canyon. However, the powerful Evil Eye Tyrant's strength was not something the Treants could defeat. That evil and powerful existence could use magic to control the magic beasts around the canyon! There were even undead and undead that crawled out from the ground! Facing these monsters, Wood lost many, many of his "companions".
Fortunately, this was a forest. Wood could gather an endless amount of "companions". The Evil Eye Tyrant also had some misgivings. In the end, in a stalemate, both sides reluctantly came to an agreement: a ceasefire.
Wood requested to return this canyon, but the Evil Eye Tyrant did not agree. In the end, both sides came to an agreement that every ten years, the Treants would be allowed to enter the canyon once.
"What exactly is in the canyon?" After hearing this story, Du Wei was most interested in this.
"The … Spring of Life!" Old Wood replied.
