Chapter 856: Forest of Origin

The white-haired old man wanted to show his kindness as much as possible to avoid scaring the child in front of him.

However, what surprised him was that the child acted quite calmly, with no fear in his eyes. He squatted down, looked at Ye Qiong's level, and then made gestures with his hands, as if Asking something.

Ye Qiong tried to understand the other person's meaning and looked at his gestures. It seemed that the old guy was asking for his name and origin?

He wanted to answer, but how should he answer when he couldn't understand the language?

Suddenly, a good idea occurred to him,

He picked up a branch nearby and drew something on the ground.

Ye Qiong's idea is very simple. Since he doesn't understand the language, he can just draw what he wants to express.

His painting level is quite high. Even if he is painting on the ground, he can still vaguely see what he is painting.

Ye Qiong drew the scene of Blue Star, then drew an arrow on the left side of the painting, and then continued to draw.

Seeing this, the white-haired old man carefully measured the painting on the ground and quickly understood what Ye Qiong wanted to express.

"Child, are you saying that you were brought here from another world by a mysterious force?"

Although I don’t know what this old guy is talking about, I just nod my head anyway.

For Ye Qiong now, all he needs to do is to show his sincerity as much as possible.

How he came to this world is actually not important at all, the most important thing is.

Ye Qiong's eyes drifted to the Sword of Dawn not far away. For him, this was the most important thing.

He was very sure that the appearance of the Sword of Dawn was definitely not a coincidence. He had to find an opportunity to pull out the sword.

After the white-haired old man received Ye Qiong's answer, a strange look appeared in his eyes. He turned his gaze to the sword stuck on the ground not far away.

I couldn't help but secretly guess,

Is there some connection between the appearance of the sword and this child who came here from outside the world?

After thinking for a moment, he quickly made a decision.

He pointed at the Sword of Dawn stuck on the ground, and then gestured with his hands. What he wanted to express was quite simple, that is:

"Can you please take out that sword?"

Although Ye Qiong couldn't understand what the other party was saying, he could still understand such a simple gesture.

He has spent so much effort explaining his origins and expressing his goodwill, isn't it just that he can find an opportunity to draw his sword?

At the moment, the white-haired old man's idea is exactly what he wants.

Ye Qiong nodded in agreement without thinking, and then walked straight towards the Sword of Dawn under the gaze of all the savages.

This sword is very different from the Sword of Dawn in his impression. The entire blade of this sword is white and restrained, engraved with runes from ancient times. The hilt is pure blue and has no gorgeous decorations. As for the Sword of Dawn he found in Paradise, the blade was crimson and the hilt was inlaid with a dark green gem.

The reason why he was so sure that this sword was the Sword of Dawn was purely because of the reaction of the scabbard in his body.

After the sword appeared, the magic power in the scabbard became much more violent, as if guiding him to pull out the sword as quickly as possible.

Ye Qiong held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and tried to pull it out.

Everyone present involuntarily focused their attention on him. The white-haired old man known as the high priest was also staring at him attentively, as if expecting the moment when he would pull out the sword.

However, the scene that appeared next might disappoint them. They saw Ye Qiong holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his right hand and pulling it out with all his strength, but the Sword of Dawn remained unmoved at all.

After seeing this scene, the eyes of the surrounding savages unconsciously revealed a hint of disappointment.

Ye Qiong's reaction was extremely calm. He did not immediately try a second time. Instead, he bent down and measured the sword body.

Soon, he found the reason,

The problem lies in the runes engraved on this sword.

The meaning of this rune was related to "seal", which happened to be within the scope of Ye Qiong's expertise. It only took him some time to understand the meaning of these runes, and then he started to decipher it.

Because of this rune, most of the power of the Sword of Dawn was sealed, making it impossible even for him, the master, to pull out the sword.

Ye Qiong wants to try to violently erase this rune, but unfortunately, with his current level, he simply cannot do such a thing. Now all he can do is to manipulate this sealing rune, so that The Sword of Dawn bloomed with the brilliance that originally belonged to him.

When the surrounding savages saw him standing still, they thought something had happened to him. When they were about to step forward to investigate the situation, they were suddenly stopped by the high priest.

"Stop, don't move yet."

Seeing this, the guard on the side came forward and asked:

"High Priest, do you think this kid can really pull out the sword?"

Hearing this question, the high priest shook his head and then replied:

"I don't know either. It just looks like, if he really has the ability to pull out this sword, then there is no doubt that he is the treasure given to us by the Tree of Life."

"Then what if it can't be pulled out? What are we going to do with this guy?"

Just as the high priest was thinking about how to answer, he suddenly found that Ye Qiong, who was not far away, had started to act. He was seen infusing magic power into the sword of the Dawn Breaking Sword and began to try to control the ancient runes engraved on the sword.

Soon, the Dawn Breaking Sword burst into a charming red light, and the originally restrained pure white sword body began to change color, gradually turning into a red color like a flame.

The surrounding savages showed amazed expressions after seeing this miraculous scene.

In a short while, the Dawn Breaking Sword showed its original appearance.

Seeing this, Ye Qiong pulled hard and successfully pulled out the sword. The whole process took less than three seconds.

After this, the light on the Dawn Breaking Sword began to dim, and after a while, it returned to its ordinary appearance.

He looked at the Dawn Sword in his hand, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He didn't know who had engraved the seal rune on the Dawn Sword, which made him unable to use the power contained in the sword.

The nearby savages exclaimed when they saw Ye Qiong successfully pull out the sword, and then quickly came forward to take a good look at what the sword given by the Tree of Life looked like.

They didn't quiet down until the high priest spoke.

The white-haired old man came up. Although he was also very curious about the sword, he was the leader of the tribe after all. How could he show such ignorance in front of his tribe members?

He pretended to be calm and tried to show his kindness as much as possible. Then he spoke a strange language and gestured with his hands, trying to make Ye Qiong understand what he meant.

"Dear guest, can you go back to the tribe with us?"

After hearing this voice, Ye Qiong's eyes showed a touch of surprise.

For some reason, after pulling out the sword, he strangely understood what the other party said.

He unconsciously turned his eyes to the sword in his hand, and secretly said in his heart:

"Could it be that this sword is working?"

Since he had just arrived at the reincarnation copy, he now had too little information, and he still needed to spend some time to investigate.

Faced with the question of the white-haired old man, Ye Qiong nodded and replied:

"Yes."

As soon as he said this, all the savages, including the high priest, showed shock.

"Do you understand our language?"

Faced with the high priest's question, Ye Qiong shook his head and answered:

"I don't understand, maybe it's because of the power of this sword?"

Hearing this answer, the high priest not only did not have the slightest doubt, but felt that this was a matter of course.

This is a divine weapon given by the World Tree. Isn't it a matter of course to have such a degree of power?

In this way, Ye Qiong followed the group of savages and came to their tribe. During this period, he talked with the white-haired old man for a long time and gained a lot of information.

First of all, it is about this primeval forest.

The name of this place is the Origin Forest. Many races live here, including dragons, dwarves, orcs, and even the fairies who have had life and death with Ye Qiong also live in this forest.

Now they live in the northern area of ​​the forest. The most powerful population living here calls themselves the descendants of gods. They claim to be the descendants of gods. The most iconic feature of these descendants of gods is the pair of large wings behind them.

Not long ago, the human tribe had a conflict with these descendants of gods.

Since the humans here did not master any mysterious power, they were defeated by these descendants of gods and many of their tribesmen died.

They felt very unfair about this.

In this Origin Forest, almost all races have their own racial talents, but only they, humans, have no racial talents. They can only rely on their own wisdom.

Facing the fierce attack of the winged people, they were beaten back step by step and had no ability to fight back at all.

Just when everyone in the tribe felt extremely desperate, suddenly, Yellen, the high priest, heard a mysterious voice in his mind.

This voice told him the whereabouts of the Tree of Life, and told Yellen that as long as he worshiped the Tree of Life devoutly, the Tree of Life would give them treasures that could help them fight against the descendants of God.

After receiving this revelation, Yellen immediately took the surviving tribesmen to find the Tree of Life and worshiped devoutly.

At the beginning, Yellen thought that the so-called treasure was the sword given by the Tree of Life.

But with the appearance of Ye Qiong, his mentality gradually changed.

In his opinion, Ye Qiong, who could pull out this sword, was the treasure given to them by the Tree of Life.

Ye Qiong came to their tribe. The neatly arranged thatched houses around were where they lived. There was a bonfire burning in the center.

On the way here, Ye Qiong had heard that their tribe believed in fire very much. Their totem was a flame pattern, and the name of the tribe was Yanhuang.

Not long after arriving here, Ye Lun, the high priest, enthusiastically introduced everything here to Ye Qiong and helped him arrange a place to live.

When things developed to this point, Ye Qiong could actually roughly infer what this reincarnation copy wanted him to do.

This copy is called the Original Empire, but in this Forest of Origin, or even outside the Forest of Origin, a country that can be called an empire has not yet been born.

This place is quite primitive and backward, and many races have not had time to reproduce their own civilization.

If nothing else happens, he probably needs to create this initial empire himself. Once he creates this initial empire, then the reincarnation copy will probably be cleared.

After thinking about all this, Ye Qiong's thoughts instantly became much clearer.

For now, the only people he can mobilize are a hundred humans from the Yanhuang tribe.

Because of what just happened at the Tree of Life, the people in this tribe now respect him quite a bit. If he wants to do something, most of the people in this tribe will offer to help.

In this area, there are two relatively powerful races,

The first one is the winged people who claim to be descendants of gods mentioned earlier, followed by the dwarves.

Nowadays, the gods and the dwarves are in a state of hostility. The gods think very highly of themselves and do not pay attention to other races at all. As soon as they came to this forest of origin, they made enemies everywhere, even the simple and honest people. The dwarves were angered by them;

It's just that the dwarves' racial talents are not focused on combat, so they were defeated steadily by the group of gods.

Some time ago, they had been looking for allies, hoping to unite people from other races to fight against these gods.

As a race that was also oppressed by the gods, the Yanhuang tribe naturally went to find these dwarves.

It's just that there was no successful alliance between the two.

The reason why they did not succeed was not because the dwarves looked down on the Yanhuang tribe and thought they were too weak, but because the dwarves had been severely injured by the gods recently and were busy escaping during this period.

I don’t know what the racial talents of the gods are. After arriving in the Forest of Origin, their strength has continued to rise. Other races in the surrounding area simply cannot keep up with their rising strength.

In the past, the dwarves were able to fight back against the gods, but not anymore. Letting them fight against the gods now is no different from giving away their heads.

Therefore, the dwarves completely gave up their plans to find allies and tried to leave this area and find a new place to live. (End of chapter)
