Patriarch Mo used a secret method to enter an ethereal state. He woke up after a while. At the same time, his face was pale and full of exhaustion. He looked at the young man next to the sacred tree in disbelief. Obviously, the state of the sacred tree made him

Worried, but at the same time surprised by this young man.

"Clan Chief, what's going on with the sacred tree? We still want to know, it's our lifeblood!" Before Patriarch Mo could speak, several women asked anxiously, facing the miserable look of the building.

"Yes, if there are any shortcomings in the sacred tree, how can we afford it!" Someone echoed, and they were as frightened as if they had seen the emperor.

"Well, to be honest, the condition of the sacred tree is very bad. I'm afraid it doesn't have much time left." The clan leader sighed and said with some frustration. It was not that he was scaring the clansmen, but that the reality was worse than what he saw.

Because the sacred tree told him that his soul had been severely damaged and it was impossible to get better.

As soon as Patriarch Mo finished speaking, several women nearby shed tears. At the same time, the children beside them also looked at their mother in confusion. Seeing their mother's sad look, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Clan leader, what should we do now? I'm afraid this kid has been here for a long time, and the injury to the sacred tree must have been caused by him!" Abao roared, with strong fire in his eyes, glaring at Hong Meng hatefully, as if

I wish I could eat Hong Meng.

"Did this kid really do it? Look at how frail he is, how could he do such a cruel thing!"

"Who is he? I can tell at a glance that this kid is not pleasing to my eyes. Judging from his romantic young master's appearance, he is definitely not a good person."

"Yes! If they go to investigate, this kid will definitely not be able to escape his involvement! Catch him first!"

Several people shouted excitedly, spittle flying out, not giving others a chance to speak. However, they did not dare to do anything without the permission of the patriarch, because Patriarch Mo was their designated person, and everyone had to obey Patriarch Mo.

It's from.

"Boy, is it time?" Patriarch Mo, who had been silent for a long time, had to come up with something worthy of convincing under the pressure of everyone, so he wanted to wake up the calm young man.

Exhaling a breath, Hong Meng opened his eyes, looked at the tribesmen in front of him with some embarrassment, stood up, patted his butt and said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

"Tell me, did you hurt the sacred tree?" After waiting for a long time, Abao finally saw the young man wake up and asked immediately.

"What sacred tree? What injury?" Hong Meng had a confused expression on his face, as if he didn't know anything.

"Stop pretending! What did you do to the sacred tree? Come with us quickly, otherwise your death will come!" Seeing that Hong Meng refused to admit it, Abao roared immediately.

Hong Meng looked at the strong man in front of him, then turned to the patriarch and said, "Are you the patriarch?"

"I am." Patriarch Mo said calmly, looking at Hong Meng thoughtfully, "What are you doing here? You know, strange places are always full of dangers, and what you do will kill everyone.

life."

"Oh? Is it that serious?" Hong Meng looked confused, and the patriarch's words were incomprehensible, "Could it be the so-called 'them'?"

"Yes." Patriarch Mo nodded and said, "I hope you can do something for us. Look at them, they are all women and children. If they come, everyone here can survive."

Hong Meng felt that something was not good about the situation. It seemed that he had really got into trouble with someone who was not easy to serve. But then he thought about it. He had only heard their voices but not seen their faces. How could he know what kind of monsters they were?

Are the people of this clan terrified?

"What exactly are they?" Hong Meng was not sure about his opponent's strength and wanted to find out.

"I don't know, I've never seen them before, I just know they are scary." The patriarch shook his head helplessly, looking at the sacred tree with sad eyes.

"Why do you call him the Divine Tree? Is he very divine?" Following the patriarch's gaze, Hong Meng looked at the Divine Tree with equal annoyance.

"I don't know, that's what they said." Patriarch Mo shook his head again.

"I don't know if I ask three questions!" Hong Meng said helplessly, and immediately glanced at the crowd behind the clan leader, "I heard at the foot of the mountain that there are many missing people in a village at the foot of the mountain. Are you the ones?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are serious people in the mountains, and there are missing people there?" Abao was impatient, wishing that the clan leader would order the young man to be taken away.

"My name is Hong Meng." Seeing the strange expressions of the villagers, Hong Meng knew that they might not want to say anything, but they were probably forced to ask, "Chief, did you live in your own village from the beginning?"

"Yeah." The clan leader responded, agreeing with Hong Meng's statement, but looking at his expression, it looked a little weird.

"Come with us, I don't know anything, and you don't have to ask anymore. The sacred tree has already told me what you did and said. Look at them again. Without you as a bargaining chip, not only would I not be able to be like them.

You have to explain, and you can't protect the people in the village." After pondering for a long time, Patriarch Mo said as if he had made a strong decision.

"Didn't I just punch him?" Hong Meng said softly. He didn't expect that he would make the sacred tree lose its vitality. Is his power really that powerful? But why didn't he react when he tested it? This sacred tree

Is there something weird?

"Okay, I'll go with you." Hong Meng felt that if he really did it, it would harm everyone, so he can't escape responsibility no matter what. What's more, they are all people with no cultivation, and he can't hurt them without reason.

They also have to fulfill the responsibility of a cultivator and protect mortals.

My own cultivation level is still shallow, but compared to annoying people who have no cultivation level, I'm afraid it's like a sacred tree, so it should be called a god?

"Boom"

When I was thinking about that divine word, I suddenly remembered a thunder in the sky, which was particularly dazzling in this quiet morning.

"It's really weird. Isn't it just a god?" Hong Meng murmured, but then there was another thunder, as if in response to Hong Meng's rhetorical question. He scratched his head and felt that it was difficult to explain all this. Could it be purely

coincide?

"Chief, it's going to rain. Let's go back quickly!" Abao suggested as he looked at the gray sky.

"Oh? Let's go then!" Patriarch Mo looked up at the sky, and at the same time his expression became surprised. It was clearly a sunny day, why would it rain in the blink of an eye? No matter so much, he turned to Hong Meng and said, "I hope you

If you follow us obediently, maybe I can even ask for a favor from you."

"Thank you very much, patriarch." Hong Meng bowed apologetically, and at the same time developed a good impression of the patriarch. At least he wouldn't push himself into the fire pit?

Patriarch Mo waved his hand. Due to the excessive consumption of mental strength, he staggered after taking a few steps and almost fell to the ground. At this time, another young man quickly stepped forward to help Patriarch Mo, and Patriarch Mo couldn't help but speak.

, he picked it up and left. Patriarch Mo then led everyone away. Several strong men surrounded Hong Meng from three sides, leaving only a path that the patriarch had walked.

"Let's go? Why are you still hanging around!"

"It's best not to play tricks, otherwise you'll reap the consequences!"

Hong Meng ignored their harsh words and followed the clan leader without any pressure at all.

Everyone followed the clan leader and headed towards the place of residence. On the way, there were nothing more than exotic trees, strange rocks and grass, which need not be described in detail.

In front of a small river about ten feet wide, the patriarch turned back to Hongmeng and said: "We will be there soon. Crossing the river, we will reach our village."

"Oh." Hong Meng smiled and nodded, thinking, should it be called a new residence?

Hong Meng followed the clan leader and made a few detours, and then a wooden bridge appeared in front of him. Judging from its posture, it looked like it had been built less than half a year ago.

After crossing the river, everyone entered the forest again. Until Hong Meng felt bored, the thatched roofs of each thatched hut were hidden in the woods.

“Sure enough, it’s another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers!” Hong Meng said excitedly when he saw the destination arrived, not remembering the potential crisis at all.

"Follow me, Abao, you two are guarding the door. Don't let anyone in. I want to interrogate him." As soon as they entered the village, before Hong Meng could walk around for a while, Patriarch Mo said.

"Yes!" Abao and another man shouted in unison.

In the simple and concise cabin, Hong and Meng sat down separately and were silent for a few minutes, not knowing where to start.

"Ahem!" Seeing this situation, Patriarch Mo coughed twice, his voice a little weak, and asked: "Who are you? Why are you here? This place is deep in the mountains, and ordinary people can't walk in at all.

"

"That's right, but didn't you bring me here?" Hong Meng nodded first, and then asked.

"Haha, you don't have to pretend. The sacred tree told me something. I know you are a cultivator and your qualifications are not ordinary. So, if you have any purpose, just say it clearly." Patriarch Mo didn't want to delay it any longer and got straight to the point.

"Actually, I just came to practice in the mountains, but this kind of practice requires finding a tree that is more than a hundred years old, and the sacred tree you mentioned happens to be the best choice, so -" Having said this, Hong Meng himself did not think of it.

One of my own practices actually caused great harm to the sacred tree.

"Oh. Since you are a cultivator and have come this far, you are not a coward in comparison. I wonder if you can help me?" Patriarch Mo said with a pleading voice as if he had been thinking about it for a long time.

"How can I help you? If you can accept it, I will definitely not refuse it." Feeling the sincerity of the clan leader, Hong Meng also said with emotion.

"Haha, it's not a big deal. It's very simple for you. You just need to take away the members of the clan." Patriarch Mo seemed relaxed, but in fact, his heart was full of sadness. No one understood this kind of calculation.

The solution is to end it.

"Aren't you afraid that they will chase you? Kill you? Kill everyone?" Seeing Patriarch Mo's righteous look, Hong Meng asked a few questions in succession, but none of them could answer.

Patriarch Mo shook his head and said no more, but his expression was filled with sadness.

"Are you the missing people at the foot of the mountain?" Hong Meng asked when he saw that Patriarch Mo was silent.

"Yes, but no one in the clan remembers it." At this point, Patriarch Mo couldn't help but look at the door, and then burst into tears.

After another half an hour, Chief Mo opened the door and said to Abao who was guarding outside: "Go and inform the people in the clan, I will go look for them in the afternoon."

Upon hearing Patriarch Mo's words, Abao was immediately overjoyed and thought to himself, he is saved!
