The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death

The tree people obviously also knew that there was a group of soldiers stationed outside their territory, but they didn't seem to be prepared to take the initiative to provoke trouble-those guys who entered the tree people's territory, the tree people naturally had a reason to attack, but this group The soldiers were well on the edge of the territory, and they had no reason to attack.

If this group of soldiers is dealt with and angered the Kingdom of Ryan and the Kingdom of Yimir, it is absolutely impossible for the tree-human race to stop the armies of the two human kingdoms with the rare number of them-although the tree-human race has great feelings towards other races. Malicious, but their rare numbers let them know how to protect themselves.

However, thanks to the fact that the tree people didn't pay much attention to these garrison soldiers from the two human kingdoms, making these garrison soldiers quite lazy, Alice's plan to infiltrate could be implemented more conveniently—otherwise, even if the breath and appearance were hidden , Those complicated magic stone fences may also bring some troubles to Alice.

Putting on the magic cloak, grasping the corners of the cloak with her right hand, making the cloak judged as a weapon by her right hand, Alice activated the breath concealment skill, and instantly completely concealed her figure and breath.

Although she can't see it on the surface, Alice can still be touched, so if she walks in directly now, she will touch the magic fence made up of the magic power of those magic stones, and thus be discovered.

However, these fences can only enclose the ground. Alice flies over the fence with the help of her mind, and naturally she will not be hindered by anything—if these soldiers are standing guard more seriously, they may be aware of the flow of wind and magic power Something unnatural.

But obviously, the relaxed attitude of these soldiers cannot be noticed. Alice easily flew over the fence, and then landed lightly. Taking advantage of the time of invisibility, she swaggered towards the tree-human territory deep in the forest. walked over.

The existence of the tree people is somewhat similar to that of the elves, they are all the darlings of nature, they are very sensitive to magic power, and their numbers are small - but there is also a big difference. The human bodies of the elves are closer to humans, while the tree people are completely different. It can be seen from the birth of the tree people.

Not long after walking, Alice noticed something on the side of the road, and realized that she should be very close to the settlement of the tree people.

"Is this the Treant Race..."

Alice walked to a big tree with some curiosity, and looked curiously at a little bump on the trunk of this tree - if it was just a normal bark bump, of course it wouldn't attract Alice's attention, the key is this The protrusions on the bark of the tree are somewhat human-shaped.

Although it is still very small, the head, torso, and limbs can already be seen vaguely. The surface is like a place where the bark is wrinkled, and it seems that the facial features can be vaguely seen.

Obviously, this is the growing Treant race. This situation should be similar to that of a human fetus, but unlike a human fetus that has a mother's body as protection, the Treant race grows directly from trees from the beginning of its birth. Being exposed to the outside, being nourished by the wind and rain, one is unlucky and may die young.

Originally, the number of births was very small, and it was easy to die due to the weather. It is no wonder that the number of tree people is so small. The tree people have a history of tens of thousands of years. It stands to reason that they should have thought about protecting the newly born tree people. , but I don’t know why, they seem to have given up on this approach in the end, and let these Treant larvae continue to accept the natural elimination of wind and rain.

"Compared to the immature photosynthesis of the elves, the tree people are the ones who can survive completely by photosynthesis."

Alice sighed, since she has seen the Treant fetus growing on the tree here, it means that this place must be very close to the settlement of the Treant - at least the Treant will definitely not train their people in the The trees are too far away.

Sure enough, after Alice continued to walk in for a distance, she saw the settlement of the tree people—but compared to the normal village of the elves, the settlement of the tree people seemed a bit too simple, except for some simple villages. Apart from tables and chairs, there is not even a house.

But if you think about it carefully, these tree people are essentially similar to trees, and they all grew up through the wind and the sun. Perhaps the environment that is very harsh in the eyes of ordinary people is really nothing to them, unless it is a typhoon They need to hide in such weather, and they have the right to absorb nutrients in the rest of the scorching sun, heavy rain and so on.

Near these tables and chairs, Alice also saw more than a dozen treants. Although they are the darlings of nature just like the elves, it is obvious that nature was a little random when pinching the faces of the treants—if it wasn’t for watching Seeing that these treants were moving, Alice really thought that these were young trees planted in the ground.

The skin is like dry bark, and there are roots that can be plunged into the soil at any time under the feet, and some dark green grass-like hair grows on the head. Generally speaking, these treants really look like trees Same.

And what makes Alice a little tangled is that she originally thought that the tree people, as the darlings of nature, should be full of vitality, but these dozen or so tree people gave Alice a very bad feeling—it seems that these tree people The vitality in the body is as if it has been sucked away, not only does it not have the vitality of natural magic, but it is a little lifeless.

This situation, no matter how you think about it, is not normal.

Chapter 360 Little Tree Man: Dangerous

Although she felt that there was something wrong with the state of these tree people, Alice didn't show up to ask directly - she remembered that Lilith said that these tree people were not friendly to humans, even the name of a brave man was not good. Jumping out at this time, I am afraid that I will be surrounded by these tree people immediately.

Therefore, Alice decided to investigate the situation by herself first, and if the condition of these tree people is so bad because of some troubles or external factors, then Alice may be able to solve these troubles as a condition and ask them for a piece of life. Wood.

This is a bit like the image of the brave in Alice's memory. On the earth before she traveled, the brave in those role-playing games accepted people's entrustment to train themselves and earn rewards in this way-but people in this world did not Just dare to issue tasks to the brave like the villagers in those games.

Although the tree people will not take the initiative to issue tasks to Alice, the "brave", and even Alice has to find out the content of the tasks, but Alice still has patience and uses the effect of invisibility to go around the tree people's settlement. .

Generally speaking, the settlement of the tree people is quite primitive. It is hard to imagine that the tree people have accumulated tens of thousands of years of history and still maintain such a simple social civilization—perhaps the tree people are indeed in awe of nature, and they are in awe of a kind of almost magical To an extent, it seems that the existence of artificial artifacts is not accepted at all.

Even for some necessary creations, it is the simplest way to deal with them, such as using wooden piles as tables and chairs, and using caves as temporary shelters to avoid typhoons. Everyone is going crazy.

It's no wonder that the tree people are so hostile to human beings - the civilization that was bought at the cost of destroying nature, of course the tree people will not have any good looks, and the human beings in the past are okay to say, modern humans are obviously too stubborn towards the tree people It is difficult to understand the thinking of the two races, and the relationship between the two races has naturally become rigid.

"The actions of these tree people are really... quite slow."

Alice observed the settlement environment of the tree people for a while, and also observed the actions of the tree people for a while - she found that the movements of these tree people were very slow. Between the two movements, there was a long period of stagnation, motionless like real trees.

This is probably one of the characteristics of the tree people. Perhaps as soon as Alice appeared, the group of tree people would jump up instantly and surround Alice - but Alice's invisibility time was still more than half an hour, she did not Not going to jump out now to get the attention of the tree people.

After observing for a period of time, Alice also gradually noticed something wrong in this forest, that is, compared with the outside of the forest, the air in the middle of the forest seems to be filled with a strange breath, which makes the air change. It was slightly cloudy, not at all like the feeling that the middle of the forest should have.

In addition, this breath also made the magic power here a bit strange. Alice tried to absorb the magic power, but found that the magic power contained very complicated impurities, which were difficult to clean.

Alice has seen this kind of situation before—in other words, the tree people may not be aware of it, but if they catch any demons, they will be familiar with the situation here.

That's right, this feeling of polluted air is exactly the same as the situation in the Demon Realm, especially the feeling that the magic power is gradually eroded, which is almost carved out of the same mold as the Demon Realm. Mozu organs cannot absorb the magic power here at all.

If you think about it this way, it is understandable that the tree people are in such a bad state-not to mention that the magic power here is very unfriendly to the tree people. For the tree people who have always relied on nature, this muddy The air is definitely not suitable for their survival.

So the tree people that Alice saw had the same appearance as dry trees. It stands to reason that this kind of dead wood-like skin would only appear on trees that were about to die, and these tree people were almost without exception. In this case, it is impossible that all the tree people here are already at the end of their lifespan, right?

Alice doesn't know whether these treants have noticed the abnormality in the center of the forest, but Alice is determined to find out the source of this situation-if it causes pollution in the center of the forest, and the demon world If the source of the pollution is the same, maybe Alice will have a chance to find a way to decontaminate the demon world.

The pollution in the Demon Realm has lasted for tens of thousands of years, covering almost half of the planet. It is obviously unrealistic to find the source of the pollution in the Demon Realm, but the pollution in this forest only covers the central area of ​​the forest. Alice guessed it should be during this time It is much easier to find the source of pollution for those who have just started to pollute.

As long as we can find out what the pollution source is here, it will be easier to search in the Demon Realm.

But having said that, for Alice, the center of the forest is full of trees at first glance, all of which look the same, and it is very difficult to find the way, let alone find the source of pollution—and Alice has just entered the tree. It has only been ten minutes since the human race settled down, and there is no clue at all.

Although if she had a good conversation with the tree people, she might be able to get some information from the tree people, but... if she could talk to the tree people well, there would be no trouble.

Just when Alice was in distress, a small tree man stood up among the group of tree men in the open space in the middle of the forest, walked alone in one direction, and quickly disappeared into the Among the layers of trees.

The other treants just glanced at the direction that the treant left, and then continued to maintain a motionless posture-the treant race is also a long-lived species, with an average lifespan of a thousand years, but only occasionally a few of its kind are born in decades , and the idea that they are not prepared to develop civilization at all, has made this race less famous.

For the long-lived species, sleeping is the most common way of pastime, and the treants are obviously the same. If there is no special reason, they usually stay in place like real trees.

When Alice saw this, her eyes lit up—she was worrying about having no source of information, but unexpectedly, a tree man just left.

The tree man doesn't look very old, although the surface has become a little dry due to the pollution here, but his youth can be seen from his body shape - of course, this youth is relative to the tree man race, Alice estimated This treant must have lived for at least several decades.

But this is not important. What is important is that the tree man should know some information about the recent changes in the forest, such as when the pollution began to appear, or whether there is any abnormality in the forest recently. This information is very important for Alice. It is important to say.

While thinking about how to get the tree man to spit out information, Alice quietly followed.

Chapter 360 Xilu: I'm familiar with this

Following the little tree man left the settlement, Alice soon knew what the tree man was going to do—he walked into a small lake and soaked his feet that seemed to have tree roots in the water.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there has been no rain in the Kingdom of Ryan for more than a week—the people in the Kingdom of Ryan don’t care. Many parts of this world are no worse than the world before she crossed over. Naturally, there are tap water and so on. , so even if it does not rain, people will not feel any discomfort.

But for the primitive situation of the tree people, if there is no rain for more than a week, it will obviously cause a serious lack of water in their bodies, so they need to replenish water by themselves. This small lake should be the place where the tree people replenish water.

The other treants obviously knew about this place, so when the little treant left towards the lake, they just took a look and ignored it-of course they knew that the little treant was going to replenish water, and they didn't think it would What's the danger.

Although there are some wild beasts in this forest, they are obviously not interested in treants. Even if there are some beasts that like to gnaw bark, it is difficult to notice the treants who are almost integrated with nature—beasts have no IQ , they hunt by instinct, they will only treat tree people as trees on the side of the road.

However, they obviously didn't expect that a human had crossed the loose defense line outside and sneaked in.

Alice hid in the tree and observed for a while, and found that the tree man seemed to be just sitting by the lake, soaking his feet in it, and did nothing else—and after soaking for about 10 minutes, the tree The man stood up and seemed to be ready to go back.

Alice knew that she couldn't wait any longer. If the tree man was allowed to go back to the settlement, she would have no chance to attack, so Alice jumped down from the tree, landed in front of the tree man, and faced him. The "Consciousness Sea Transformation" was launched.

Because Alice was still using the magic robe's skill "Magic Concealment", the treant didn't realize that someone jumped from the tree in front of him, and without any reaction, his spirit was instantly shattered. Alice's spiritual forbidden spell was under control.

The body structure of the tree man is naturally completely different from that of humans. It is more similar to Andusia's current physical condition. There are no internal organs inside, as if it is really a piece of wood, and it is completely driven by the soul that resides in the wood. Action, not even a brain.

But the spirit-type forbidden spell affects the soul, so even if the tree people do not have a real brain, they will also be affected by the spirit-type magic. With this trick, they can still easily control the opponent-although it is temporarily impossible to check other people at will memory, but it is very useful as a control skill.

"I really feel more and more that I need to learn how to read memory quickly."

Alice scratched her head. So far, she has encountered embarrassment three times because she couldn't interpret the memory. If she can interpret the garbled memory, maybe now she can directly check the tree man's memory. Check out some clues from the inside.

It's a pity that she can't do it now, so for this treant, she can only use the same method as she used to deal with Xilu-maybe a little different, because the treant has a very strong control over plants. If you use Huber The special tree made vines to help him, maybe he could break free.

So Alice had to find another way to restrain him.

===================

By the time the tree man woke up, about 10 minutes had passed—but when he woke up, the sight in front of him really frightened him.

Around his body, ropes made of flames surrounded his body. Although he did not touch his body, the terrifying heat made the poor little tree man immediately understand his situation—as long as he dared to Move it, and these flames will immediately ignite your body.

Because of the environmental changes inside the forest during this period, the tree people's bodies became a little dry, and they were more likely to be ignited than before, so this time, the tree people did not dare to move immediately.

Fortunately, the bodies of tree people do not have physical reactions such as heartbeat and breathing like human beings, so they can maintain a nearly completely still movement, and are not afraid of touching these flames just because their bodies shake accidentally.

And in front of him, there was a man wearing a magic robe. Because he was sitting on the ground, the treant couldn't see the other person's height. The loose magic robe completely covered him, and even his face was shadowed. Shrouded, so the body shape and appearance can not be observed.

In other words, he was a very mysterious guy. The Treant looked at him for a while, but he couldn't tell anything except that the magic robe seemed to be of good quality.

However, although the tree people are stuck there like tree stumps on weekdays, it does not mean that their thoughts have really become wooden stakes. After seeing this situation, the tree people immediately understood that someone sneaked into the tree. To the territory of the tree people, and kidnapped himself.

Alice saw the expression on the tree man's face, and knew that he had understood her situation, which made it easier for Alice to ask for information.

"Hello, little tree man, don't panic, as long as you don't move around, these flames won't be able to burn you."

Alice oppressed her throat with magic power, making her voice a little hoarse, at least she couldn't hear the original voice, "This time I mainly want to ask you a few questions, as long as you answer obediently, I got what I want Answer, and I will let you go."

The expression of the treant who was surrounded by his own flames changed slightly, probably because he couldn't think of anything in the treant that was worthy of the other party's conspiracy, so he said:

"What do you want to know?"

Different from his withered appearance, the voice of this treant is surprisingly quite magnetic. If you just listen to the voice, you might feel like a handsome guy.

"I don't know if you Treants have noticed recently that the environment in the center of the Karu Forest, which is the area where you live, has changed?"

Alice raised her hand slightly and asked, "For example, the air has become worse, and the magic power in the air seems to have been polluted by some unknown reason."

As soon as this question was asked, the expression on the face of the tree man in front of him was terrified. He stared at Alice and uttered a low voice of questioning:

"You did it!?"

Obviously, the treants have discovered that the environment in this area has changed—that's good, at least it will be much easier for Alice to ask the treants for the living wood with the reason of "resolving the environmental change". Otherwise, he would have to find a way to tell the Treants about the dangers of this environmental change, which would be very troublesome.

Chapter 360 The Treant Clan's brains don't seem to work well

Although it was a good thing for these tree people to know that the environment in the forest was polluted, it would make it easier for Alice to bargain with them in the future, but it still made her quite unhappy to be misunderstood as the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although Alice will definitely delete the memory of his kidnapping when the little tree man is released, she will still feel a little uncomfortable if she doesn't clarify it, so looking at this little tree man who seems to have misunderstood something, She said coldly:

"If I did this, do I still need to come out to discuss it with you? Who would come out to exchange feelings with the victims and ask them about their murders? No novel dares to do that write it?"

Although the tree people living in a very primitive life don't know what a novel is, he still understands what Alice means—indeed, if Alice is the culprit of all these problems, then her plan is going smoothly now, There is absolutely no need to tie yourself down and ask these questions.

The tree people probably had little contact with the outside world, so the thinking circuit was relatively simple. After hearing Alice's words, he immediately agreed with her statement, nodded, and made a sound of approval in his mouth:

"That's right."

However, while he recognized it, he seemed to forget that the flame ropes made by Alice with fire attribute magic were tightly wrapped around him. When he kept still, these flames could not burn him, but his nod immediately touched him. Touched the flame on the side of the head.

These flames are not ordinary fires, but flame ropes that Alice condensed with the flames of the Burning Star and the mind power of the mind power transcendence technique. The power is frighteningly powerful. It was ignited, and there was a piercing scream.

"..."

Seeing the actions of the tree people, Alice scratched her head. She heard Lilith's description before, and the group of tree people seemed very fierce, but after talking with them now, why did she always feel that the tree people's IQ seemed to be a little problematic? , not only does not feel fierce at all, but also feels very easy to deceive?
