The Autumn Forest was an ancient and mysterious place. To the High Mountain Tribe, it was a dangerous and forbidden place. They would occasionally pass by and gather some food, but they would never go too deep into it.
There was once a playful child who went missing in the forest for a night. The tribesmen searched again and again, and finally found an old woman who had the same name as the child in the depths of the forest.
So, when they entered this mysterious path, the High Mountain Tribesmen had an uneasy heart. However, they had no other choice. There were terrifying Evil Spirits outside. They supported the injured soldiers and stepped into this strange secret realm. They saw a small stream flowing by, and an old woman was sitting by the stream, washing clothes. She had a head of white hair, and was obviously a member of the High Mountain Tribe.
When he saw this old woman, the tribe leader's eyes widened.
"It's you! Why are you here? "
He was shocked, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
The old woman sneered, "Why am I here? Then let me ask you, why are you here? "
Hearing this, the tribe leader frowned, "We were forced to retreat here because we were fighting against the evil races. We have been guarding the mountain day and night. Why are you hiding in a place like this? Why don't you fight side by side with us? "
The old woman glanced at him.
"Why would I do such a meaningless thing?"
"Meaningless? What are you talking about! This is the sacred mission of the High Mountain Tribe! As a God Summoner, you actually abandoned your identity, your family, and your children to hide in a place like this. Is this your purpose? "
The tribe leader said angrily. Even though he was weak because of his injuries, his eyes were still bright.
The old granny didn't take his scolding to heart. She only sneered and said, "Without me secretly passing your days, I'm afraid you would have to accompany that evil spirit and wander the barren land with your sacred mission."
Her words made the tribe leader very uncomfortable. He stood up and said, "Let's go! This place is not safe. "
"Father, but …"
Ling Tu looked at him worriedly. The tribe leader's wound was very deep. Although the bleeding had stopped temporarily, he had lost too much blood. How long could he last?
"Your so-called sacred mission is just guarding an empty box. The sacred relic is no longer there."
The old man continued.
"That's because your daughter colluded with outsiders to steal the sacred relic! If we get to the bottom of it, this disaster was caused by your daughter! "
"She didn't do anything wrong. Her mistake was that no one believed her and supported her! The other guardians have failed, and darkness has reappeared in the world. Do you think that we alone can guard the last seal? If all of us had gone down the mountain with her, things wouldn't have turned out like this! She won't die. "
The old man bowed his head sadly. She turned and walked down the path.
The silent clansmen lowered their heads silently until the old man scolded again, "What are you waiting for?! Why aren't you coming with me? Can't you see how cold the child is? "
Ling Tu looked at his father. The clan leader sighed and nodded silently. His clansmen then followed him.
Lilith was at the back. She did not know what had happened before, but she felt a strange feeling in this place. She looked back and found that the way in had long since disappeared.
…
At night, Reina walked alone in the forest. She arrived at the Autumn Forest. Under the illumination of the moonlight, she moved forward. Terrifying sounds came from the forest from time to time. Shadows flashed in the forest behind her.
But she did not care. She felt very tired. She had been fighting for a whole day. Most of the evil spirits on the mountain had been cleared by her. The remaining ones were low-level evil spirits that did not pose a threat.
Soon, she saw a fire. It must be her clansmen.
To the High Mountain Tribesmen who were guarding the bonfire, Reina's appearance was so sudden. They heard the sound coming from the bushes, and in the next second, a figure stood out. They all knew who stopped the strong enemy for them. It was the young woman in front of them.
Reina. Her name was like a hero in a story. It was passed down by word of mouth among the clansmen. She had returned and saved the clansmen.
Her arrival caused a commotion. The clansmen in the house came out one after another. There were two houses here. One was a small stone house. It could not hold many people. The old man lived in it. The other house was a wooden house. It was very big, and the style was completely different. It was crowded with people. The injured, children, and some old people and women.
The two houses could not hold everyone. Most of them set up simple tents outside the house.
The cheers attracted the attention of the people in the house. Ling Tu ran into the house and told his father inside.
Lilith immediately walked out of the room. When she saw Reina, she let out a sigh of relief. She wanted to go out to look for her, but the old man stopped her and asked her to stay in the house. Even if she used the excuse of going out for a walk to leave, she found that she could not leave the forest. No matter how she walked, she would come back.
At that moment, she knew that this was a magic space that was independent of the main world. But it was connected to the main world. And the owner of this space was probably this old woman. So she could only pray silently, hoping that Reina would be like what the old woman said.
She would definitely come. Fate was guiding her.
As expected, she came.
After seeing Lilith, Reina's expression relaxed. Her clansmen and Lilith had arrived safely. She could finally relax.
"The chief wants to see you."
But when the two met, Ling Tu suddenly appeared in front of them and said to them with a straight face.
"Let's go in."
Lilith caressed Reina's head and said.
Reina nodded and followed Lilith's footsteps. She entered the warm stone house. She had been here before. She came once and left once. Seeing the old woman's face, she immediately felt hot tears in her eyes.
"Granny!"
She threw herself into the other's arms. The old woman also hugged her tightly. She gently caressed her head and said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
The old woman seemed to have changed into a different person. She did not have the sharpness from before.
"Let me take a good look at you."
She looked at Reina's face. Her eyes were so gentle.
The injured patriarch turned his face away sullenly, not saying a word as he sulked.
The old woman looked at Reina in a daze. Reina felt that she was not looking at her, but someone else.
"Similar, too similar."
She said in a daze. Reina felt a bit awkward. At this time, the chief kept talking.
"You have a lot of time to get together, but now we have more urgent and important matters. Now that the mountain has been invaded by the evil race, we must think of a way to get rid of these evil races. "
The chief suddenly said.
