Chapter 2265: Guarding Ceremony

Toby tilted his head, looking confused.

Angel did not explain, and whispered: "Let's go, you will know soon."

Toby had just eaten the magic food made by Graya, and was still in a state of ignoring the pressure, so he did not turn back into a seabird, but folded his wings and followed Angel.

After they walked forward for about a minute, Angel paused.

Looking down.

But he saw a blue lantern flower with a faint glow emerging from his shadow, and the blue lantern flower swayed gently. At the same time, a transparent bubble escaped from the pistil.

The bubble slowly rose into the air and finally stopped in front of Angel. At this time, a picture suddenly appeared on the wet film on the surface of the bubble.

Under the dark ground, thick roots were slowly twisting and silently rushing towards their location.

Toby also saw the picture on the bubble film, and it stared at Angel with its copper bell-like eyes, looking at Angel for a while, and then looking at the ground. It seemed to be using this action to verify something with Angel.

Angel did not speak, but nodded gently.

In this seemingly peaceful land, roots have come directly below them. Although the roots did not attack them, there is no doubt that these roots came from the tree that Toby saw.

Therefore, Angel's previous statement that they had been discovered by the tree was not without purpose.

Before, Angel's perception was not so clear, but he only knew that there was something unusual underground. Now the picture sent by Ermi clearly showed this.

After Toby confirmed this information, a ray of flame flashed across his pointed beak, his eyelids narrowed slightly, and a dangerous look came out from inside. It raised its head and looked at Angel, and its hind paws landed heavily on the ground, making a dull "hum" sound.

Even if Toby did not speak, Angel understood the meaning of its action.

It was signaling to Angel whether to take action now.

Angel shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry, go over and take a look."

From a rational point of view, they are intruders. The tree was in its own territory, and any action was free, not to mention that the other party had not shown any signs of attacking.

So, Angel asked Toby to wait and see.

The bubble of the blue lantern flower disappeared, and the real body of the blue lantern flower also went back into the shadow. Angel and Toby continued to move forward.

Along the way, they did not suffer any attacks.

Angel and Toby successfully came to a place about 50 meters away from the big tree. Here, they could already see the shadowy and lonely shadow of the tree in the mist.

Since he had decided to meet the tree, Angel did not stop and continued to move forward.

However, at the moment he moved his feet. The flat ground suddenly rolled up, and thick brown tree roots rose from the ground.

Angel and Toby immediately retreated a few steps and took precautions. Even Ermi showed half of his body from the shadow, ready to open the fangs of the shadow at any time.

However, to their surprise, although these tree roots came out from the ground, they did not attack them, but intertwined with each other to build an arch built by tree roots.

As a large number of tree roots broke through the ground, such arches were constantly built, and continued to the tree in the distance.

Road formed by arches? What does this mean?

When Angel was wondering, a mouth suddenly opened above the arch in the front: "Welcome to Palisanya's home, um, let me see who this is?"

A slightly sharp and dramatic voice came into their ears.

As the voice fell, a crack in the arch was stretched open, forming the shape of an eye, looking at Angel and Toby.

"It's actually a human! And...ah!"

"Picture~ Leileilei!" The mouth suddenly opened wide, and the green tongue inside was like a spring, constantly trembling, as if expressing some kind of excitement.

"This is, this is!" It kept sucking in air, staring at Toby closely.

"It is it, but it doesn't look like it." It confirmed after a long while.

After the other party performed a big monologue, Angel said: "Are you talking about Carlo Mengqis?"

"Of course, human." The tree replied to Angel lightly, and then continued to stare at Toby: "Can you get closer? I want to see you up close?"

Toby glanced at Angel, as if asking for his opinion.

Angel nodded gently. At least so far, the tree has not shown any malice. Moreover, if the other party knows Carlo Mengqis, then according to the previous experience in the tidal world, it will not attack Toby.

Toby's sensitivity to emotions is stronger than Angel. It can sense that the tree is quite friendly to it. So, Toby thought about it and took a step forward.

"Not enough, get closer."

Toby continued to move forward.

"A little closer."

Toby was already standing under the arch, but the arch was still calling him to come closer. He looked up and found that it was not the first arch that was talking this time, but the arch behind it.

When Toby was hesitating whether to continue moving forward, Angel came up and said, "Let's go in together. When it says to get closer, it should be in front of its body."

Toby nodded, and accompanied by Angel, they walked forward together.

At each archway reached, the mouth above called: "Come closer, come closer."

It wasn't until they walked out of the last archway and stood in front of the big tree that the repeated sounds finally stopped.

"It's been many years since I've had a guard ceremony, but luckily I'm not unfamiliar..."

The gift of guard? Refers to the aisles formed by the previous arches?

Angel raised his head and wanted to ask, but before he could speak, he was attracted by the close appearance of the big tree in front of him.

You can't tell when you look at it from a distance, but when you look closer, you notice that this big tree looks very old, even older than the leafy Groot by Sunlight Lake.

The bark of the tree is full of bruises from the past, and a large number of tree tumors have accumulated on the trunk. Together with the old face, it looks like an old man with age spots and sarcomas.

In addition, the trunk of this tree has another characteristic. It is covered with colorful marks, which look like mottled wounds.

Angel stared at the colorful marks and felt they looked familiar.

"Human, you seem to be very interested in the Medal of Glory on my body?" Dashu said.

"Medal of Glory, are you referring to these marks?" Angel pointed to the colorful marks.

Dashu: "Of course, this is the medal that Parishanya is most proud of!"

Angel was silent for a moment: "But it seems to me that this is just some kind of paint?"

"Tired, tired, tired~" A unique and ups and downs laughter came from the big tree's mouth.

"You answered correctly, this is paint! But, unfortunately, there is no reward." The ancient tree named Parishanya thought it was a funny joke, and glanced at Angel, only to find that Angel's eyes were wide open. Li seemed disapproving.

Parishanya hummed and said: "Human, you seem to be a little dissatisfied? Can't the paint be a medal? This is the paint left behind when the great savior leaned on me to paint."

"That was the highlight of my life!"

A look of understanding appeared in Angel's eyes. He thought they looked familiar before, but now he was basically sure that these paints were indeed oil paints, and from Dashu's words, they were left over from Feng's painting.

"Is it the paint left by Mr. Feng? Then this is indeed a medal of honor." Angel said perfunctory words in a sincere tone.

"Lei tired~" Parishanya obviously didn't hear the perfunctory tone in Angel's tone, and laughed proudly.

Angel was secretly analyzing the tree man in front of him. If this was the paint left by Feng, it actually showed that this wood creature named Parishanya had actually lived for more than three thousand years.

Living a long time means that its strength is not weak.

Moreover, its relationship with Naimeicui should be very good. After all, Namitsui didn't even see Leafy Groot, but allowed him to live in the Lost Forest.

While Angel was silently analyzing Parishanya, the other party turned his attention away from Angel and focused on Toby.

"Can you get closer?" Parishanya's voice was a little softer when talking to Toby.

Toby walked a few steps ahead indifferently and came to the foot of the big tree.

Parishanya looked at Toby carefully, not missing any inch. After a long time, he sighed deeply: "It's very similar to it, but it's not it."

After sighing, Parishanya's expression turned slightly gloomy: "I'll just tell you, how can it be resurrected..."

Parishanya not only spoke in a low tone, but his eyes also became a little empty, apparently lost in his own thoughts. Either wallowing or mourning.

When others were sad, Angel was not easy to disturb and could only wait quietly.

After a long while, Parishanya came back to consciousness from the whirlpool of thoughts. It looked at Toby: "You should be a member of the same race as Carlo Menchis, right?"

Toby didn't nod, but he didn't deny it either.

Palyshanya took it as acquiescence and continued: "Since you and Carlo Menchis are of the same race, it is not a loss if I use the guard ceremony just now on you. However, I will give you a piece of advice. , turn back.”

Angel: "Do you know our purpose?"

Parishanya: "No matter what your purpose is, going deep into the Lost Forest is definitely not a good choice. Now, it's too late to retreat."

Angel: "Now that you know that I am a human being, you also see that it is a member of the same race as Carlo Menchis. You may be able to guess that we followed Mr. Feng's footsteps and came here."

"I need to see His Excellency Naimeicui and ask him for some advice about Mr. Feng."

Parishanya looked at Angel deeply and said, "You can't see Master Naimeicui."

"Why do you say that?"

Parishanya asked instead, "Do you know why I am here?"

"Why?" Angel was also curious as to why Parishanya appeared in the Lost Forest. What is his relationship with Naimi Cui?

Parishanya did not hide it, but said calmly: "The answer is simple, because I am not qualified. Likewise, you are not qualified either."
