"Humanity?"

The clear call seems to fall from the sky, empty and far away.

"yes."

Huang responded softly to the giant deer statue in front of him, and the remaining light in the corner of his eyes was attracted by the obscure energy surging around him.

They were streaks of blue light and shadow, with familiar outlines: a strong body, a high-spirited chest, a rough horn...

It seems that the power of the underworld butterfly not only channeled the last remaining faith in the giant deer statue, but also affected the deer people who were obsessed with it.

"I didn't expect that what I saw at the end was not the little deer boy, but you, the human being."

The voice coming out of the giant deer statue is very complex, including surprise, hesitation, sullenness, and countless emotions contained in it, but the most expressive thing in its soft voice is gentleness, like the gentleness of an elder. .

However, the souls of the deer people in the four fields are not so friendly.

Even if only their soul form is left, even if their remaining consciousness has been blurred, they still can't help but burst out with clear rejection and hostility towards the humans in their field of vision.

What's more, they have raised their hooves and trampled the ground hard, aiming their illusory thick antlers at the former treacherous clan.

The forest has been reduced to a wasteland, and the deer people have been reduced to this point. This is all related to human greed and backstabbing.

"Well, I feel the unwillingness to be entrenched here."

"That's why I took the liberty of using the Yin Yang technique to wake you up again."

Without paying too much attention to the hostility of the deer people's souls around him, Huang refocused his attention on the giant deer statue in front of him.

After all, those disembodied souls do not pose any threat to him.

"Onmyojitsu?"

"Are you, Onmyoji?"

When he heard the reason why he woke up again, there was a clear and palpable surprise in that gentle voice.

"Um."

Huang nodded lightly.

After receiving a positive response, the giant deer statue fell into a brief silence. There was a faint green bursting in the surrounding vegetation. It seemed to be silently sensing something.

"Perhaps, it really is the destined guidance from somewhere."

For a few moments, a muttering to oneself sounded in this small world. Then, a shallow ripple of energy spread out around it like the stretched antlers of the world tree, and after touching the boundary of this ruins dissipate.

The souls of the deer people appearing all around all suddenly stopped rioting after feeling this circle of energy, and they could even feel the respect from their slightly lowered heads.

This is not respect for the giant deer statue,

It is the respect shown to human visitors in front of the statues of gods!

Such a change inevitably made Huang have a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He understands the entanglement between humans and the Deer Man clan, so it is not a big deal if the Deer Man soul that returns here becomes as hostile to him as the Deer Man when he first met.

After all, the reason why he used the secret technique, Underworld Butterfly, was not because he wanted to gain something from it, but because he felt the unwillingness remaining in this land, so he acted. As the former guardian of this land, Deer Man

The unwillingness of the clan should be vented.

"Humans, they are thanking you for everything you have done for the forest and your forest companions along the way."

"The ones they were hostile to before were also the greedy people who tried to win the [Heart of the Forest], not all humans."

"I've been waiting for you too."

The moss-covered giant deer statue spoke again, explaining the reason for the change in attitude of these deer people's souls.

But this explanation did not dispel the doubts in Huang's eyes. He felt that he had not done anything special along the way, especially the inexplicable last sentence of "waiting for himself".

You know, using Mingdie is really just a whim.

He could have just followed the footprints on the ground and continued to pursue the deer man.

"Sorry, I was a little too eager and confused you. But, onmyoji from a foreign land, can you listen to me tell you a story?"

As if sensing the doubts of the humans in front of him, the giant deer statue continued.

And one can feel the caution in restraining emotions in his voice, as well as the excitement that is ready to burst out no matter how suppressed it is.

"If you don't care that the last clan member is still trapped in the predicament of monsters, I don't care either."

Huang deliberately mentioned Xiaolu Nan's safety,

Because he really didn't know what kind of wishes the giant deer statue awakened by him wanted to express.

"I really saw you right, Onmyoji."

"Even though that boy, Xiao Deer Man, is still trapped in the hatred of the past, have you never thought of giving up on him?"

"Don't worry, I've already met that kid. He has the resilience of the deer people and a group of trustworthy partners. He will definitely be able to get through the difficulties set by the monsters."

"And the story I want to tell is equally important, and it's about the recovery of the forest."

At this point, the gentle voice gradually became serious, without any hint of joking.

"In that case, I'm all ears."

After feeling the solemnity of the former, Huang simply pulled Quan and sat on the ground.

He no longer paid too much attention to Xiaolu Nan's safety, because the token given by the monsters of Qijiao Mountain and the person who followed him secretly would definitely cut off the thorns blocking his way.

The story told by the giant deer statue is not very long and can be roughly divided into two parts, namely the origin of the prosperity of this land and the reason why it fell into desolation.

A long time ago, human villagers rescued a deer-man couple who fell in the wind and snow. Then humans taught the deer-people how to use tools and how to live and keep warm. After spending the cold winter, the deer-man couple also chose to stay

Here we live in harmony with humans.

Later, when famine struck and food was scarce, there was only one solution: to revive the forest that had fallen into decay.

Therefore, the deer-man couple used secret techniques to channel the power of the entire forest into the first healed tree.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since then, [Heart of the Forest] appeared.

The forest gradually regained its prosperity and the famine was successfully overcome, but this power also expanded the greed in some human hearts.

They desperately began to cut down the forest in order to find the [Heart of the Forest] hidden in it. Large tracts of trees collapsed, and some people even attacked the deer people who wanted to protect the forest. Finally, in a heavy rain,

, the raging flash floods destroyed all the creatures and disputes here.

"The strength of the Deer Man clan alone cannot protect the forest. Even if Xiao Deer Man Tonggu Pu finds the location of the [Heart of the Forest], there is nothing that can be done."

"The erosion of miasma, the collision of monsters, in order to give the forest the final protection, the aura of the heart of the forest has almost disappeared."

"That's why I feel unwilling. Obviously I finally waited until the last deer man came back..."

The gentle voice suddenly became excited,

Even though the giant deer statue in front of him was a dead thing, the sensitive Ara Izumi could still feel a fiery heart beating non-stop inside the other person's cold body.

They did not speak rashly, but quietly waited for the former's emotions to calm down.

"The role of the deer people is to use the sound of drums as a traction, playing drums and playing songs to gather the spiritual power of the forest."

"But if you want to protect the forest, you need the joint efforts of the deer people and humans."

"Not long ago I waited for the last deer man, and now I wait for you again, the human onmyoji."

"The child must still be hostile to humans and you in his heart, but I beg you to put aside the past grudges, help Xiaolu Man, and help this forest return to its past prosperity."

The giant deer statue that had calmed down continued to speak, and in its voice, the souls of the surrounding deer people all bowed their deer heads, as if making the same plea.

"No, you can't say you're asking me to ignore past grudges,"

"Little Deer Man, and the Deermen family have not done anything excessive to me."

"The ones who are really at fault and who should really atone for their sins are the murderers who are greedy and want to win the [Heart of the Forest]."

"I will help Fawn Man, but why me?"

Huang now understood that the giant deer statue told the story of the past so that he could wholeheartedly help the little deer man and the forest.

But he still cares a little about why the other party chooses him so firmly.

Benefit from being an Onmyoji?

He doesn't think so.

"The forest says nothing, but watches everything in the dark."

"Master Onmyoji, I have learned from the forest how you took care of your fellow monsters and fought against them along the way."

"So, I am willing to believe in you, the deer people are willing to believe in you, and this forest is also willing to believe in you."

As he spoke, a ball of blue-green green energy slowly burst out from the antlers of the giant deer statue. However, it did not spread in all directions like before, but divided into two balls of pure energy and slowly fell on it.

In the palm of Huang Yuquan's hand.

Then there were emerald green lines winding up their arms, like ivy that likes to cling to exterior walls.

After the energy-emitting light group disappeared, the special plant lines slowly disappeared under their skin.

"This is the blessing of the forest and the Deer People. It will guide you in the direction of travel in the forest, and it also represents the Deer People's recognition of you."
