Chapter 1012 I Saw You

  Chapter 1012 I see you

  Outside the city of Doma, a huge crowd of forest people gathered under the towering trees.

  They wore armor made of rattan wood, held spears inlaid with emerald green crystals, and stood majestically on the roots that were winding and undulating like mountains.

  The young and strong warriors of the forest tribes gathered here. They were the bravest hunters and warriors in the entire forest.

  Looking around –

  the huge sea of ​​people must be 20,000 if not 30,000!

  Since the first day of judgment, this land has organized such a large army for the first time.

  In the tribal era when writing had not yet been invented, such a large number was even more unimaginable.

  Looking at the endless army, Tunnan felt his heart surge.

  Under the instigation of the emotions that rose and fell, he stood on a high place and opened his strong voice, shouting excitedly to the tiger and wolf army that was like a sea of ​​forests.

  ”People of the forest–!”

  ”Not only did the sinners burn our sacred trees and rob the sacred land given to us by the Tree of Insof! They also boldly stole the treasures in the sky and the sacred objects belonging to the ancestors!”

  ”In order to save the forest from disaster and avoid the coming of the third Judgment Day, we must take back the sacred objects in their hands! Take back our holy land! Solve the root cause of this disaster once and for all for our descendants!”

  ”It’s time to put an end to the grudges at the beginning of the Awakening Era!”

  The deafening roar shook the entire forest and the hearts of all the forest people present.

  That was also the ability given to him by the Tree of Insof –

  the ability to inspire people!

  The pupils staring at him all ignited a boiling desire to fight, and they roared loudly as a response to their common leader.

  ”Oh oh oh!!!”

  Looking at the roar like a tsunami, the chiefs of the tribes standing in the crowd felt something was wrong, but they all had a gloomy face and did not raise any objections or say anything more.

  Tunnan was right.

  They had tolerated the sinners time and again, but the result was that the latter kept pushing their feet.

  In this case, it would be better to settle all the old and new accounts and completely solve all the troubles. As

  for whether Tunnan had other intentions…

  In the face of the threat of the Third Judgment Day, those can be put aside for the time being.

  At least now, they need a leader who can lead them to victory!

  Facing the surging crowd, Sagui, a member of the priests, stood behind Tunnan.

  For some reason, he suddenly regretted welcoming the ancestor to their tribe.

  The disaster may not be caused by the holy object that fell from the sky. On the contrary, it was the ancestor who came to the earth to find the holy object and tried to help the people on the earth avoid the disaster.

  But it’s too late to say anything now.

  Sagui sighed in his heart and looked at the young people who were howling like beasts. The blessings

  given to them by the Tree of Insof may not be entirely blessings.

  For example, now, someone used the bridge that connected them to turn everyone into wild beasts…

  …

  Outside the city of Doma, the wind was surging, and the city surrounded by giant trees was also bleak and murderous.

  For the Doma people who were still in the tribal period, there was no essential difference between war and hunting, except that the targets of the crusade were different.

  Men were responsible for fighting, while women, children and the elderly were responsible for logistics.

  Under the leadership of the priests and maids, the tribesmen in the city tied sharp crystals to wooden sticks of varying lengths. The

  sinners in the valley were good at using bows and swords, and they also used barbaric means to tame the wild lizards with violent temperaments and low intelligence, and javelins and spears were the most effective in restraining them.

  In addition, there were many priests who had awakened their “psychic power” and stood in the “orchard” to pray.

  That was a branch of the roots of the sacred tree, which was not only the place where the sacred tree stored nutrients and hatched seeds, but also the granary of the city of Doma.

  They prayed for the fruits condensed on the roots to mature quickly, and with the help of the children, they picked them into the frame, mixed them with the roots of some other plants, ground them into powder, and dried them into dry food rich in sugar and nutrition.

  These dry food are military rations.

  Under the will of the leader, the entire Doma tribe completed the transformation from cash crop production to war preparation almost overnight, and did not cause the slightest turmoil.

  This is also one of the social characteristics given to the forest tribe by “psychic power”.

  The power of the entire society is almost monopolized by the psychic awakeners, and there is a spiritual connection between the psychic awakeners.

  In a sense, the alliance also has similar characteristics, but the form of expression is different and the “residents of Shelter No. 404” do not monopolize the power and resources of the entire alliance.

  However, these profound sociological experiences are too early for Doma City.

  They were driven back to the tree by the neutron plume and had just come down from the tree not long ago. To put it nicely, they are simple-minded, and to put it bluntly, they are not very smart. At best, they can only be used as samples for research.

  But being unintelligent also has its advantages.

  Although Tunnan had a flash of inspiration and thought of “using the ancestor to control the tribes”, he had not yet realized that the “Tree of Insof” could actually be used to consolidate power.

  He not only respected the Tree of Insof, but also respected the ancestor. Even

  though the ancestor had lost the value of living, he only thought of imprisoning him, rather than killing him.

  In other words, he was a man with a bottom line, and once he had a bottom line, he was destined not to become Zaid.

  It was not just Tunnan.

  In addition to the believers who were swept up by fanaticism, there were still those who simply believed in the ancestor.

  These people were willing to sacrifice their lives for what they believed in, rather than not believing in the scriptures they recited in their bones.

  It was precisely because of this that even when the fanatical flames were about to spread throughout the forest, their internal error correction mechanism was still working.

  And it was playing a positive role.

  The root of the sacred tree, the entrance to the temple.

  Looking at the maid coming up the steps, the guards standing on both sides clenched their spears.

  One of the topless guards stepped forward and asked in a muffled voice,

  ”Is the ancestor awake?”

  That question was not asked in the forest language, but in the higher language given to them by the Insof Tree.

  To outsiders, it sounded like a short or long bird call.

  However, every psychic awakener with the same cultural background could understand what the call meant.

  Dora answered in a soft voice.

  ”He has woken up.”

  The guard captain continued to ask.

  ”What does he want?”

  Dora continued in a soft voice.

  ”He doesn’t like the food in the tribe and wants to eat wild fruits in the south, and I must pick them myself.”

  The south is the direction away from the forbidden forest valley.

  Although there are dangerous beasts active there, they usually can’t hurt the temple maids who can communicate with the Insof Tree.

  Communication based on the mind can hardly lie. The guard didn’t ask more questions, but just nodded respectfully and stepped aside.

  The leader has ordered.

  As long as the ancestor does not leave the temple, no matter what the request is, it must be satisfied as much as possible.

  As long as they can do it.

  And it will not threaten the safety of the entire temple…

  Dora nodded slightly, walked past a group of guards, and went straight to the south gate of the tribe.

  There was no falsehood in what she said.

  I just didn’t finish my words.

  …

  At the same time Dora left the temple, Ye Shi, who was sitting in the temple, was staring at the entrance of the temple with bated breath, and carefully paying attention to the footsteps passing through the dark corridor.

  Fortunately, the footsteps that gradually faded away did not come back, but disappeared at the entrance of the temple.

  Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxed his tense nerves, and lay down on the rattan bed.

  ”It depends on her performance next.”

  He gave Dora many tasks.

  In addition to picking berries in the south, it also includes finding a silver-gray scientific research ship.

  In fact, he didn’t know how to describe his vehicle. After all, whether it was the appearance or the coordinates and longitude and latitude, there was nothing corresponding to it in the culture of the Doma tribe, or a “reference” that could assist in understanding.

  Fortunately, at this time, Dora’s special ability of “telepathy” came into play, and she established a spiritual connection with him who was gesturing randomly with his fingers, and saw the scientific research ship through the fog of the ocean of consciousness.

  That happened to be where she had been!

  Ye Shi didn’t know what she meant by “seeing”, but at least she understood what she meant.

  As long as she went to the vicinity of the research ship, she could get in touch with Jiang Xuezhou, let the latter know her situation, and help her come up with some bad ideas.

  Whether it was to choose a new charlatan to end the war, or to mediate the negotiations between the Qiu people and the forest people in the name of the ancestor, there was a lot of room for maneuver.

  If it really doesn’t work, think of a way to rescue yourself first.

  It seems to be a good idea to uncover Tunnan’s conspiracy by yourself.

  Anyway, Ye Shi believed that Jiang Xuezhou could make the right choice.

  In the hyperspace channel where they could not observe each other, they had cooperated tacitly like today.

  ”But then again… why do I feel like I have nothing to do again.”

  Ye Shi, lying flat on the bed, stared at the fireflies flying above his head, thinking about a series of things that might happen later, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be in the embarrassing situation of being “BAN” again, so he couldn’t help but complain.

  In the hyperspace channel before, he was at least responsible, but this time it seemed that he could do nothing.

  He even had an illusion that he was in a similar position to Luo Yi.

  Although everything started because of him, it was destined to be a problem that would be solved by those who came later.

  The maiden of the temple named Dora was the one he chose.

  And Ye Shi’s intuition told him that there might be similar existences in places he couldn’t see – a group of protagonists who were either chosen by fate or dragged into it.

  This would be a holy war launched in the name of “Ancestor” and “Tree of Insof”.

  I don’t know how people thousands of years later would describe this epic.

  Just as Ye Shi was thinking this, there was a creaking sound above his head.

  The sound was like the soles of leather boots stepping on the wooden floor, but it sounded like a harsh laugh in his ears.

  Of course, maybe that was just his self-righteousness.

  The existence that laughed might not have meant to mock, so much so that there was a bit of appreciation in his words.

  ”…You little guys are so interesting, you never make me bored.”

  Ye Shi had a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost. He jumped up from the bed as if he had been electrocuted, and looked around suspiciously.

  ”Who?”

  The voice disappeared in an instant, as if it had never been there.

  Just when Ye Shi himself began to be undecided and wondered if he was hallucinating, the creaking sound with complex meanings once again floated into his ears.

  Or rather, it floated directly into his mind.

  ”Oh? Can you hear my voice?”

  The voice seemed to carry a hint of surprise.

  Ye Shi was about to ask back, but suddenly he felt a twist under his butt.

  The bed board woven with vines seemed to come alive, twisting the vines and starting to grow upwards, wrapping around his ankles and even his legs.

  Ye Shi was suddenly startled and was about to release the current.

  The slow voice, as if predicting his reaction, floated into his mind again.

  ”Don’t be nervous, I won’t hurt you… I’m just a little curious, let me take a good look.”

  The vines continued to grow upwards, and in just a few breaths they had crawled all over his body.

  Surprisingly, the vines

  , though with rough bark, did not hurt him. “You have a familiar smell… a bit like my children, but not quite the same… hmm…”

  The slow voice seemed to be lost in thought, and after a long time, it slowly continued to speak.

  ”So that’s how it is, I think I understand… you finally accepted them.”

  ”Not bad, not bad, you finally became a little more enlightened… Although it’s the same, the process may be different.”

  He said something to himself, and the tone was as if he had seen something a long time later.

  But it seemed that for some reason, He did not see through everything, and there were still places that He could not see.

  Listening to the mumbling of the self-talk, Ye Shi felt creepy and his hands and feet were cold.

  He woke up!

  And noticed him!

  That was what Ye Shi was most worried about, even more than the bloody conflict between the two tribes!

  After all, the only thing that could really threaten them on the entire planet seemed to be that indescribable existence.

  Ye Shi thought he had been very careful, but he didn’t expect that his whereabouts would be exposed in the end.

  But when did it start?

  From what He said, it seemed that He had been observing all this for a long time…

  In order to figure out the situation at the moment, he swallowed his saliva and said calmly.

  ”Are you Gaia? Or… the Tree of Insof?”

  ”Are you talking about me?”

  The dry voice smiled softly and continued slowly.

  ”You always change the name you call me, but I am me… Well, how should I explain it to you?”

  The ambiguous answer confused Ye Shi for a while.

  Even confused.

  He thought Gaia would hate him to the bone, but he didn’t expect that He didn’t mean that at all.

  He didn’t seem to care about what had happened.

  Even though the three-year war almost killed this planet…

  ”Actually, whether it’s Gaia or the Tree of Insof… they are both me and not me. But if you want me to explain it to you in detail, the difficulty is no less than your attempt to make that girl named Dora understand what a scientific research ship is.”

  ”It’s not that I look down on you. Your understanding of psychic power is not as good as that of the children living in this forest, although the ‘smart people’ among you seem to have already used this ability, and it is a systematic and large-scale use… hehe.”

  There was a hint of mockery in the voice.

  This was probably the first time he really heard the meaning of “mock” in his tone, as if they had done something more boring than self-destruction.

  Yes.

  In his opinion, their self-destruction was much more interesting.

  He gradually lost interest and said lazily.

  ”I won’t do something that is thankless and meaningless. If you are curious, go find the answer that is meaningless to you… After all, you have succeeded before.”

  ”Come on, stupid materialist.”

  The vines wrapped around him gradually faded away and turned into a flat bed again.

  Everything was as if nothing had happened.

  It was as if the bed coming alive was just his illusion, just like everything he saw in the hyperspace channel.

  But even so, the feeling of being bound still remained clearly between his skin and hair.

  Ye Twelve jumped off the bed without saying a word and looked around vigilantly.

  Finally, he found the source of the sound!

  It was actually not a “sound” at all, and there was no note.

  It was a pure consciousness from the beginning, and the source was the “murals” on the walls around the temple!

  The moment he tried to understand those words, he realized His existence and established a connection with Him –

  that was the ability given to him by the perception attribute!

  He sensed His existence!

  The thoughts in his mind gradually became clear, and Ye Shi suddenly had a glimmer of enlightenment in his heart, looking in a certain direction of the temple – somewhere on the mural.

  It was an intuition without any reason. He felt that someone was looking at him and whispering behind his back, saying something that was so annoying that he didn’t even feel uncomfortable standing there.

  No, maybe it wasn’t just one person –

  it was a group!

  Almost subconsciously, he muttered to himself,

  ”…I saw you.”
