Great Wilderness Alchemist

Chapter 159, Inquire about the news

Faced with such a skinny little boy who was about to starve to death at first glance, Xian Ling had no reason to make a move.

Thinking that even if the plants inside were accidentally stepped on by her, or scratched accidentally by her, they would not hurt herself, so the fairy tried to communicate with him: "Are you a foreign race?"

But the little boy did not reply to the fairy, he stared fixedly at the barbecue in her hand, and kept swallowing his saliva.

Long-term malnutrition has caused his hearing to degenerate a bit. At this moment, he just wants to eat, and there is no energy in his body for him to consume.

Seeing that there was nothing but food in the little boy's dull green eyes, Xianling took out a piece of barbecued meat from Cangyu's bracelet and handed it to him.She felt that it would not be too late to ask him after he was full.

The little boy, who was so numb that he didn't have any thoughts, snatched the barbecue from the fairy's hand.

Regardless of his image, he wolfed it down on the spot.

Because the eating was so fierce, he was quickly choked.But even so, he still forced it into his mouth until the veins on his forehead bulged out, and he didn't slow down his eating speed a bit.

Seeing the little boy eating, Xian Ling was very moved.The plants in the underground world are really pitiful, not to mention that they can't get nutrients from the yellow soil, and there is no aura in the air.

Isn't it almost 'starved to death'!

·
As soon as the fairy handed out the food, the plants around her that were already 'ready to move' pulled out their roots from the thick yellow mud, and they turned into human shapes and moved towards her.

Looking at a group of vegetative people walking towards her with small steps, or stumbling towards her, or crawling towards her crookedly, the fairy's expression suddenly froze.

She took a deep breath...

In fact, at the moment she gave the food, she thought of this picture.

However, she didn't expect that these plants would be so miserable after they transformed into forms!

Those with complete bodies are all skinny children, and at first glance, they are definitely not more than 4 years old, and they are deformed, either missing arms or legs, and some don't even have human facial features.

As for the remaining 'disabled' adults...

They are even more miserable, dragging half of the plant body and not being able to change form, the part that can change form is also rotten, badly broken, and there is even a disabled vegetative person, even missing one side of the body.

It's a miracle that it survived!
Looking at the scene in front of him, even the fairy's heart was as hard as iron, and he couldn't lift the butcher knife in his hand.

Besides, they didn't snatch her, they just stared at her with longing eyes...the half-gnawed barbecue in their hands.

Sighing, the fairy decided to be a virgin: "I can give you food, but..."

Before he finished speaking, a group of thin and small matchsticks rushed towards the fairy.Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Faerie, who didn't want to see blood, suddenly raised the Dragon Soul Sword in his hand.

She said with a tiger face: "I see that you can understand what I say, so if you don't want to die, just listen to me first."

The matchsticks immediately ignited weakly the huge head that did not match the figure.

They were actually terrified. The smell from this human was very "savage". She must have killed many spirit beasts.But they are really too hungry, since they became conscious, they haven't eaten a few times.

Xian Ling stared coldly at the group of deformed and disabled 'vegetative people' around him, and said in a deep voice:
"First of all, I don't have much food on me. After I provide you with food this time, there will be no next time. Then, after you receive the food, don't make a fuss, and don't tell other 'plants'. Finally, fill your stomach After that, I have something to ask you." After a pause, the fairy emphasized: "Any 'plant' that participates in the answer will be rewarded with food, so, do you understand?"

"Understood." The matchsticks gave a small and soft reply.They were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to speak.

With a serious expression, he handed out some of the barbecue, and Xian Ling sat down on the Dragon Soul Sword.

She didn't ask any questions immediately, but glanced at the disabled 'vegetables' who were devouring the food around them.

In addition to their disabled bodies, most of them have strange looks, not to mention colorful hair, and their styles, you can refer to the non-mainstream that was once popular.

of course,

In addition to having grotesque head shapes and hair colors, their clothes are also very distinctive.It should be woven from their own leaves, densely covering key parts, and some are still blooming.

After observing these vegetative people who were burying their heads in eating, the fairy returned to the subject: "Are you aliens?"

Although this group of matchsticks looks very thin and only 3.4 years old, most of them speak fluently:

"We are the Fusang people!"

"Yes, we are the cubs of the Fusang tribe."

"Hmm~"

All kinds of milky answers echoed softly on the loess land, and the fairy quickly put her index finger on the center of her lips: "Shh, keep your voice down!" She didn't want to attract the attention of that giant tree.

This group of plant cubs were very obedient, and immediately shut their chattering mouths.

After thinking about it, the fairy pointed to the giant tree in the distance: "Who is that tree?"

The 'vegetable', who was always watching the movement of the fairy, looked in the direction of her finger.

Some of the youngsters shook their heads, expressing that they didn’t know who it was, while the older youngsters hesitated before replying, “That’s our tree ancestor.”

"Ancestor tree?"

"Yeah." The little tree man who had finished eating the barbecue licked his fingers, and then replied in a small voice: "Our tree ancestor sleeps all year round, but it wakes up every few days and eats a lot."

This... Fairy has a black question mark face.People in this group of little plants are so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs, and their ribs are all visible. How could their ancestors feast on fish and meat every day? ? ?
If she guessed correctly, the hibiscus tree should not like this severe cold environment. It must have been sealed in the underground ice cave by the beast god.

So, where does the food come from to make it eat and drink when it can't move?
Is it difficult?
The fairy's eyes fell on this group of malnourished disabled children. Could it be that they became so miserable because their tree ancestors absorbed all the spiritual energy?
Fairy, of course, would not ask such a sensitive question. Now that they had confirmed that their tree ancestor was asleep, she felt confident and bold to ask what she wanted to know.

"How often do your tree ancestors usually wake up?"

"Two days?"

"Five days!"

"Three days."

"I think it's a day."

Fairy: ...

In the end, it was still the half-grown child who gave an affirmative answer: "It depends on when our Lord Spirit Witch wakes up the tree ancestor."

Fairy quickly asked: "Don't your spirit witches have a fixed wake-up time?"

The little boy shook his head: "The warriors of our tribe can't catch prey every time. Only when offering sacrifices can we wake up the tree ancestors."

The fairy was very curious: "There are no spirit beasts in this snowfield, where can we go hunting?"

The little boy lowered his head: "It's going to the sea."

Nautical mile?

Obviously, the sea is not a good place, and the aquatic creatures in this world are becoming more and more terrifying.

Think about this group of fluffy vegetative people throwing themselves into the sea like bait one by one. For the ferocious marine life, this should be a rare delicacy, right?
Next, the fairy asked some other questions, such as:
What habits does your tree ancestor usually have?Do you have a good personality?If something without eyes broke into here, how would Shuzu deal with it?
This group of small animals rushed to answer innocently, but the adult disabled people never said a word.However, they didn't stop the little brats from asking questions and answering three sentences.

Fairy has been secretly looking at these adults, and she found that there is no light in their eyes.To be precise, they looked like broken and numb corpses.

After asking side-by-side questions about the "daily life" of the hibiscus tree, the fairy tried to find some clues from these "horrible daily life".In the end, she discovered to her horror that the ancestor of the Fusang tribe was not a good tree at all!
The Beast God sealed it really right!

I just don't know how much strength this hibiscus tree that 'will die at any time' has left.
