Troubled Times: Added six doors at the beginning, pushing the world horizontally

Chapter 449 The Spirit of the Ancient Tree
Following the old man into the village, Shen Du also took the opportunity to observe the surrounding environment.

The living and living environment of the people here are still in a primitive state, which is in sharp contrast to the rapidly developing real world.

Even compared to the human world, it still lags far behind.

In his opinion, the lifestyle of the creatures in this world is more like the ancient times of the human world.

Although their body, energy, and blood are powerful, their cultivation method is an extremely primitive method, and there is no systematic and complete method.

It can be seen from the way those children are trained.

The population in the entire village is not large, only more than 300 people, among which the real young adults are a minority, accounting for only one-fifth.

Along the way, many children in the village were quietly looking at Shen Du, and some were making faces at Shen Du, their eyes full of curiosity.

The old man waved away some children who tried to come forward. He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Guest, please forgive me."

"They don't have any bad intentions. It's just that people in our village have never seen outsiders, so that's why they behave like this."

The behavior of the people in the village also made him, the villager, extremely embarrassed, so he tried his best to explain.

If someone like this is offended, their entire village may be buried with them.

"Where to move?"

Shen Du's heart was moved, and he asked casually, pretending to be unintentional: "Has the village chief been outside?"

The old man glanced at Shen Du, but he didn't feel suspicious in his heart. He just said in a low voice with a lonely look: "Let's take a step and see."

"Recently, many villages have fled to the outer reaches."

"According to the old people in the village, the mountain god is angry."

The old man looked up and looked around, his expression full of emotion, he sighed softly, and his eyes showed reluctance.

Living is the most important thing.

"Alas~" the old man sighed deeply, looked up into the distance, and whispered softly: "Wait for a few days when all the ferocious beasts in the forest have fallen asleep, then walk out along the forest and find a safe piece of land again."

"That's right!" The old man chuckled and said with a smile: "When I was young, I walked through it with a few people, but I didn't go too deep and only reached a larger village."

Shen Du nodded, withdrew his gaze and looked at a wooden house in the open space ahead.

"Yes!" The old man smiled and nodded, then sighed and said helplessly: "But the forest has been uneasy recently."

Shen Du shook his head and said, "The village chief is too polite."

Because of this incident, he will understand the inner zone.

Although most of the ferocious beasts will leave, a small number will still live in the forest.

But no matter how reluctant they were to leave, they could only leave the place where they had lived for decades.

"In the past, we could meet some people from other villages in the forest, but now we probably can't. We will be moving out in a few days."

This is one of the few wooden houses in the entire village.

"I don't know where to go either."

According to the old people in the village, they all went to sleep at the foot of the mountain god.

But now they have to leave, all the villages are being relocated, and they can't survive if they stay here.

There are ferocious beasts everywhere outside, and even if they want to get out, they have no chance.

"There is nothing good in the village, please forgive me."

A strange color flashed in Shen Du's eyes.

Not only them, but many villages nearby are in this situation.

It is a place of true civilization.

Being able to walk alone in this dense forest full of ferocious beasts is unimaginable.

The old man turned to look at Shen Du and chuckled: "Please wait a moment, I have already sent someone to prepare dinner."

His biggest regret in his life was that he did not go to the legendary inner area to see what the prosperous civilization was like there.

The ferocious beasts in the forest leave every once in a while, and no one knows where they have gone.

The old man has lived for a long time and has seen a lot. Even if it is limited by various factors, he has lived for such a long time and can be regarded as a mature person.

That's why he hurriedly stopped everyone after seeing Shen Du.

Shen Du looked around and asked casually: "There should be other villages nearby, right?"

It is unknown how many people will be killed by ferocious beasts during this relocation.

He had heard people say before that people living in the inner area were different from them.

"Huh?" Shen Du frowned slightly and asked, slightly surprised, "You want to move away too?"

"I heard from people in the village there that there are old people in those villages who visited the inner area when they were young."

As the village chief, he has to consider the entire village.

People in their village have lived here for generations and rarely leave in their lives. They may die without knowing what the outside world looks like.

As for what the outside world is like, we listen to what our elders say.

He thought about his mission.

Destroy this world!

Catastrophe of heaven and earth!

It is very likely that this world is also undergoing a catastrophe.

If not, this mission wouldn’t exist!

As far as he knew, the world-destruction missions issued by the true world were all when a world suffered a catastrophe.

When he saw the dense woods around him earlier, he was still wondering why there was such a mission.

It seems that the great catastrophe of this world is presented in another way.

Shen Du looked at the old man and said casually: "The situation is not so serious, right?"

Hearing this, the old man looked up at Shen Du and was slightly startled. He pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is not the first time we have seen noble people from the inner area."

"Some time ago, I met people who were fleeing from a large village. They said they saw noble people from the inner area on the road."

"Not long ago, people who were hunting in the forest reported that they had encountered a strange corpse when they came back."

"The riots of these ferocious beasts have become more and more obvious recently. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to leave in the future."

Shen Du was slightly shocked.

If we go by what the old man said, the people living in the inner area are definitely not weak.

This world is rated as A-level. In a sense, this world has strong people in the Open Heaven Realm.

Shen Du was secretly frightened, but he still didn't know what exactly happened to this world.

What is the great disaster born in this world?
The old man chatted for a while, but seemed unwilling to talk more about this topic. He quickly changed the topic and asked Shen Du about the inner area.

He has never been to the inner area, so how can he know about it.

Fortunately, the village chief has never been there, so he made up some random information.

Anyway, whatever the inner zone is like, that’s what he says.

time flies,
In the evening, everyone in the village prepared sumptuous meals for Shen Du.

It's just that most of them are hunted prey, the meat of ferocious beasts.

Everyone was busy until late and then left one after another.

It can be seen that such a gathering is rare for everyone in the village, and everyone's faces are filled with smiles.

Late at night, the sky is dark and the room is dark,
Shen Du slowly stood up, walked out of the room, and started exploring the village.

He had not been able to investigate carefully during the day, but now he had the opportunity to investigate carefully.

He had been wondering since he came here.

There are ferocious beasts everywhere in this dense forest, and many ferocious beasts are quite powerful. Although the strength of these villagers is good, they are far from being able to gain a foothold here.

We walked around the village and finally stopped in front of the big tree in the center of the village.

Shen Du looked up at the towering tree crown and said to himself: "It seems that the strangeness in this village is because of this ancient tree."

This towering tree is as far as the eye can see, and it stands out among the many trees in the village.

Moreover, this is the only ancient tree in the entire village that has not built any houses on top, but has built houses under the tree.

This abnormal scene is really too eye-catching.

Shen Du stared at the ancient tree intently, and gently covered the ancient tree with his hand, and the power of the soul invaded it.

In an instant, Shen Du's expression changed.

"This is..." Shen Du's pupils narrowed slightly and he looked at the ancient tree in front of him in surprise.

Live? !
Unlike other trees, he felt a unique breath of life in this ancient tree.

It was a breath unique to living beings, a breath similar to that of a living person. Within this ancient tree, there was actually a very weak consciousness, as if it were a newborn fetus.

There was a faint feeling of rejection in the vague consciousness.

It was clearly just an ordinary ancient tree, but within its body it gave him a vague feeling of a strong martial artist, as if he would come alive the next moment and burst out with strength comparable to that of the Cave Heaven Realm.

In other words, this is no longer a tree, but an alternative creature.

Now he finally understood why this village could survive in this dangerous forest.

The aura exuded by this ancient tree invisibly frightened the ferocious beasts, and at the same time blocked the aura of the creatures living here.

In the eyes of those ferocious beasts, there is only one "ferocious beast" with a powerful aura here, so they will naturally retreat away from it.

If the situation in other villages is like this, then there may be many similar ancient trees in this dense forest.

The power in this ancient tree is extremely special. It is vaguely connected to the world, and the breath inside it is extremely pure.

In a sense, they may act as the "gods" of this world.

Although the two seem completely different, they have many similarities in essence.

"The breath on your body is very special..."

"I have never seen a creature like you."

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from his ears.

Shen Du was startled and looked up.

On the ancient tree, a vine as thick as an arm slowly stretched out, slowly spreading towards Shen Du, but there was no murderous intention.

The tree vine looks like a giant python. At the other end of the tree vine, there is a thin figure less than half a meter tall, like a carved wood statue.

At this moment, the wooden sculpture seemed to come alive, with a lifelike expression on its face.

"Do not be nervous!"

There were faint words coming from above the ancient tree.

"With your strength, you should be able to feel that the vitality in my body is on the verge of drying up. There is not much power left, and I can't cause any harm to you."

Shen Du looked at the wooden sculpture intently, and then realized that its lower body had been connected to the ancient tree.

In other words, it grew out of ancient trees.

What on earth is this?
"Haha!" The ancient tree sculpture gave a rare laugh and shook its head: "I am nothing."

"I am the spirit of the ancient tree here. I have to be worshiped by the creatures here to become civilized. I am an innate creature."

"It's just that I have never seen you before. The aura on your body is very strange, but it feels vaguely familiar to me, as if I have seen you somewhere."

"It's a pity...I can't remember it."

A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Du's eyes, and he asked, "Do you know how to read minds?"

"Being able to vaguely perceive something is considered my ability."

The wooden sculpture sitting on the ancient tree said quietly: "It's just that your strength is too strong. I spent most of my strength and could only see this."

Shen Du reacted quickly.

This should be an ability similar to those of ferocious beasts.

Shen Du was not worried about what the ancient tree could see, and as he said, the vitality of the spirit of the ancient tree was on the verge of drying up, and it could not last long, and its death would only take a few days.

"You poured your last strength into this ancient tree?"

"Yes!"

The spirit of the ancient tree said calmly: "The creatures here have worshiped me for generations. Now that I can no longer protect them, I will do my last bit for them."

Shen Du shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "This will consume your little vitality. If you don't do this, you might be able to hold on for a little longer."

No wonder he could sense a vague consciousness when he was exploring the ancient tree earlier. He thought it was the original consciousness of the ancient tree.

Now it seems that the spirit of this ancient tree has regenerated a new consciousness and injected its own power into this ancient tree.

"Haha!" The spirit of the ancient tree smiled nonchalantly: "It's just returning to the world again. This is our fate."

Shen Du said solemnly: "I really want to know, what happened here?"

The village chief here doesn't know much, but he feels that the spirit of this ancient tree should know something.

The spirit of the ancient tree looked sad and said slowly: "I don't know, it's just that the vitality of us innate spirits is constantly dying."

"Over the years, I have felt that many of my companions have lost their lives. They have completely disappeared from this world."

The spirit of the ancient tree suddenly turned around and looked into the depths of the jungle, and said calmly: "I can sense that there is an evil force eroding the entire world."

"There's a rotten, disgusting smell there."

"There are many auras of death, engulfing the world bit by bit."

Shen Du knew what the ancient tree spirit was talking about.

Catastrophe of heaven and earth!

That is the power of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, and this world is already heading towards destruction.

He was still wondering why this place was so full of vitality before, but now his doubts have been solved.

The spirit of the ancient tree sighed, and the extending tree vines slowly retracted, and the luster on their body dimmed a bit.

It was originally in a deep sleep, but Shen Du used his soul to explore it, which woke it up from its deep sleep.

"I'm going to sleep."

"The creatures here don't know anything. I hope you won't embarrass them."

"If you want my tree heart, you can take it..."

After saying the last words, the spirit of the ancient tree fell into deep sleep again.

Shen Du withdrew his gaze, glanced at the people in the village, and headed deeper into the dense forest.

Once he was determined to prevent the power of the great catastrophe from destroying the human world, but now he wants to destroy other people's worlds. It has to be said to be a kind of irony.

It's just that he can't care so much.

People are selfish, even if he doesn't do all this, someone else will.
