Chapter 1076 A Race Abandoned by Fate
"No, we wood spirits have always been grateful, let alone such a great favor."
Grandma Qingye is the oldest person here, and seems to be the one with the highest say. She said sincerely: "Young man, if you have any requests, you can make them, and we will definitely do our best to repay you."
"No need." Yun Che shook his head: "I saved him, not out of my original intention, because my original purpose was to get a wood spirit bead."
"What...what?" Yun Che's words made all the wood spirits look up suddenly, and their faces changed slightly.
"I spared He Lin only because he was a child and I couldn't bear it. If it was any other wood spirit, I would have taken his life and the wood spirit bead. So, you don't have to thank me."
Looking at the sudden change in the faces of the wood spirits, he turned around and walked towards the exit neatly.
"Wait." An old voice stopped him.
Yun Che paused, but did not turn around. He said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this place."
"No," Grandma Qingye approached him with a hunched back: "You saved Lin'er, and you are the great benefactor of our entire clan. How could we not trust you? You just said that you need a wood spirit bead, right?"
Yun Che was stunned and turned around.
Grandma Qingye smiled peacefully, and looked at the middle-aged wood spirit beside Helin with a slightly turbid gaze: "Qingmu, how about giving Qiuling's wood spirit bead to our benefactor?"
The middle-aged wood spirit who was replaced by "Qingmu" had a complex turbulence in his eyes, but he did not hesitate or feel embarrassed, and nodded gently: "Of course."
"That's great." Grandma Qingye laughed: "Young man, there happens to be a wood spirit bead in our clan. It was left by Qingmu's wife when she was seriously injured and died. Although many years have passed, because it is sealed in the natural mysterious formation, the spiritual power will not be damaged at all, and it should be able to help you."
If the wood spirit took the initiative to leave it, and the spiritual energy has not been damaged... it means that this is a perfect wood spirit bead with 100% spiritual power, which is impossible for humans to obtain by force! !
Yun Che was excited: "Really... can you give it to me?"
"Haha," Qingmu laughed: "I will not let the evil people take the Wood Spirit Pearl left by my late wife even if I risk my life. But if I can repay the great benefactor who saved our young clan leader with it, Qiu Ling's spirit in heaven will certainly agree."
"However, in order to prevent it from being obtained by the evil people, I sealed it very tightly. It will take at least one or two hours to unlock the natural profound formation that seals it. During this period, you will have to wait here for a long time."
Yun Che spent a huge price, but in the end he did not take He Lin's Wood Spirit Pearl by force... but here, he got a perfect Wood Spirit Pearl as a gift.
Although it can't be compared with He Lin's royal Wood Spirit Pearl, 100% of the spiritual power is already much more than the 70% spiritual power Wood Spirit Pearl that Yun Che needs.
The last of Yun Che's depression was swept away, and deep joy and gratitude surged in his heart: "In this way... I am very grateful. I really need a Wood Spirit Pearl for an important reason."
"No need to thank you. Your great kindness, no matter how we repay it, it is not too much." Grandma Qingye said: "Qingmu, you go, after you get it, hand it directly to the benefactor."
Qingmu responded and flew away.
"Great! I can't bear to leave my big brother!" He Lin cheered, jumped in front of Yun Che, and pulled up his sleeves: "Big brother, I will take you to see our home. Although it is small, you will definitely like it."
He Lin took him and officially entered this small world that belongs only to the wood spirit.
The house is made of emerald wood, and the flowers and plants are the mats. This is an incredibly pure world, and even the air cannot smell the slightest pollution.
Originally a tribe protected by nature, they were more miserable and withered than any other race because of human greed. They should have had a deep hatred for humans, but when He Lin pulled him in front of one wood spirit after another and happily introduced them to him, they showed him deep gratitude and welcome from the bottom of their hearts. Maybe there was a little bit of vigilance, but from beginning to end, he did not feel even a trace of hatred.
Wood spirits have the purest power and the purest heart in the world. Yun Che was deeply feeling this at this time, and his heart was throbbing strongly.
Even if he was an enemy who was a hundred times stronger than him, his eyes would never retreat a bit, but the clear and dust-free green eyes of these wood spirits made him dare not look directly at them again and again...
Such a tribe should have been protected by nature to the extreme, why did it bear such a cruel and unfair fate...
Because of human sin and greed...
Also because of their weakness.
The bodies of the dragon race are all rare treasures, but who in this world dares to bully the true dragon race of the Dragon God Realm.
"Sister Qinghe!"
He Lin pulled Yun Che all the way to the end of the small world. There was a large flower garden here. At a glance, hundreds of flowers were blooming in all colors. A girl in colorful clothes was collecting morning dew on the petals in the flower garden. Her light figure was like a colorful butterfly dancing among the flowers, which was pleasing to the eye and intoxicating.
Amid He Lin's shouting, the girl turned around from the flower garden and looked at them tenderly. He Lin blushed and introduced to Yun Che: "This is Sister Qinghe, her father is Uncle Qingmu. Sister Qinghe, he is the big brother who saved me. Although he is a big brother, he is super powerful."
The girl in colorful clothes looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her fair face carried the youthful charm of a girl and the pure beauty unique to wood spirits. She gave a gentle salute to Yun Che: "Thank you, big brother, for saving our young patriarch's big brother." kindness."
After saying this, she did not dare to look into Yun Che's eyes anymore, lowered her head, and a slight blush spread over her face.
"Hey? Young Patriarch, it turns out you brought your benefactor brother here, no wonder he can't be found anywhere!"
Behind his ears, a girl's voice was as clear and lively as a clear spring. A girl about the same age as Qing He flew over lightly, followed by a young Mu Ling who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and slender, with a flawless appearance. .
"Sister Feiyan, brother Qingzhu!" He Lin called out their names crisply.
When the two arrived, they looked at Yun Che with gleaming eyes for a long time. The wood spirit boy named Qingzhu bowed to Yun Che heavily: "Brother, my benefactor, you saved our young clan leader. I don't even know... how to repay you." good."
"Thank you, my benefactor." Feiyan, the wood spirit girl, bowed. Her pair of clear, beautiful eyes kept looking at Yun Che over and over again in curiosity: "There are indeed many good people among human beings."
"Of course." He Lin said with great force, "My parents often told me this when they were still alive. The first time I saw my eldest brother, I believed that he must be a very good person."
"Hmph! Young Patriarch, you have the nerve to say that!" Feiyan raised his hand, knocked He Lin's forehead hard, and said angrily: "Do you know that you almost scared us all to death! Qing Grandma Ye cried several times, you...if you dare to do this again, we will ignore you. "
He Lin covered his forehead in pain, not daring to refute, and said weakly and pitifully: "Sister Feiyan, I already know that I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again. I just... I just really want to go out and see what's going on outside." The world, I didn’t expect it to be so unlucky... Wow, I really don’t dare.”
"Feiyan, don't talk about the young patriarch like that, he will definitely be good in the future." Qing He spoke softly in defense. As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Che quietly and quickly lowered his head.
"Hmph, anyway, I will keep a close eye on the young patriarch from now on!" Feiyan puffed up his cheeks.
However, Qingzhu asked with uncontrollable curiosity: "Young patriarch, what happened after you sneaked out that day? And what is the outside world like? Is there really Qingye? Is it so magical what my mother-in-law and Uncle Qingmu said? Please tell us."
"This, this..." He Lin said anxiously: "I was caught shortly after I ran out. After that... I was always scared after that, so I couldn't think of other things. Ah! That's right!"
He Lin's eyes suddenly flashed and he turned to Yun Che: "Brother, can you tell us about the outside world?"
He Lin's words immediately reminded them, and Qing He, Fei Yan, and Qing Zhu all focused their expectant eyes on Yun Che... the first outsider to come to their small world: "Brother benefactor, you must He knows a lot about the outside world and we want to hear it, we really want to hear it.”
The four pairs of emerald green eyes flashed with the same expectation and desire. And this look in his eyes made Yun Che's heart and soul suddenly twitch, as if being pricked by needles. They have spent their whole lives on the run, fearful and cautious. Only in their own little world can they feel at ease. Every place in the outside world may be an abyss of death for them.
How longing and longing they have in their hearts, how cruel the fate they have endured.
Yun Che took a deep breath and said slowly: "Actually, my home is not in the God Realm, but in the lower realm that is very far away and remote... The first place I visited after coming to the God Realm was An endless snow-white world. The earth, rivers, seas, and mountains are all covered with ice and snow that will never melt. Even the sky is as white as if it were covered with snow... The palaces there are dozens of miles apart. So long, the largest one is hundreds of miles long..."
Without mentioning any specific names, Yun Che talked about the world he came from, the white world of the Snow Song Realm and the magical Netherfrost Heavenly Lake, the endless flame purgatory of the Flame God Realm... and also mentioned the flames. Those two terrifying and cunning ancient horned dragons...
The four wood spirit boys and girls listened in ecstasy and exclaimed again and again.
Just listening and then describing it in the mind can't really understand what kind of picture or scene it is, but even so, this is an unprecedented spiritual excitement for them who are always "imprisoned" in the small world.
"Thousands of miles...tens of thousands of miles...it's all a white world." Feiyan raised his head, his eyes blurred, and then said in despair: "I have never seen snow in my life."
"Me too." Qingzhu nodded in agreement, fascinated.
Yun Che smiled slightly and suddenly flew up. In the flash of blue light in his hand, a large piece of falling snow fell from the sky like a feather, accompanied by a refreshing breeze.
"Wow!"
Excited exclamations mingled together. They held their hands and bathed in the falling snow. They felt as cold as ever before, as if they were suddenly in a completely different world.
The snow fell lightly at first, but soon turned into a blizzard. Yun Che's fingers changed slightly, and suddenly, more than a dozen ice crystal lotuses bloomed in the snow. The smallest one could be held in the palm of the hand, and the largest one made two wood spirit girls want to sit in it and feel the ice lotus in person. of bloom.
call!
Outside the flying snow, a pale golden flame ignited, and soon condensed into a huge golden crow flame shadow, and issued a loud and majestic cry.
"What a beautiful firebird!" He Lin exclaimed.
"This is the golden crow, which was one of the strongest flame beasts in ancient times."
Yun Che's mind moved slightly, and suddenly, the image condensed by the flame changed rapidly, turning into the appearance of the ancient dragon in the Burial God Fire Prison.
"This is the flame dragon I just told you about. Its whole body is fire, and its tail is longer than its body. Well, the size is about the same." Yun Che introduced it, and sighed: "I almost died under its claws at the beginning."
"It looks so scary, and you can tell at a glance that it must be a very bad beast." Feiyan's cheeks puffed up slightly, as if venting his dissatisfaction with it almost killing Yun Che.
After snow, ice, and fire, Yun Che performed thunder and lightning and Xuan Gang, and played with them for a long time before he retracted his palm and let all the wind, snow, thunder and fire dissipate.
Everything seemed like a bubble that suddenly appeared.
Under unprecedented excitement, the cheeks of the four wood spirit men and women were all red, and there seemed to be bright stars shining in their eyes when they looked at Yun Che - just now, they were grateful and curious about Yun Che, but now, it was a strong admiration that covered everything.
"I really want to... I really want to go to the place that my benefactor brother said." Qingzhu raised his head and said in a dreamy voice.
"There will definitely be that day." Yun Che said.
"My benefactor brother... um! Can we..." Feiyan's eyes were sharp, but his face was full of nervousness: "Can I know your name?"
He Lin, Qing He, and Qing Zhu also looked at him.
Yun Che smiled slightly and said without hesitation: "My name is Yun Che."
"Yun Che..." They whispered this name at the same time.
"Brother Yun Che!" Qing Zhu shouted excitedly.
"You, you, you... you big fool, you got ahead of me again! I want to call... Brother Yun Che too!" Feiyan shouted, her eyes curved into delicate crescents, and then she pulled Qinghe beside her: "Sister Qinghe, you don't say much today, come and call Brother Yun Che."
Qinghe took a small step forward, but never looked up. Her hands were nervously pinching the colorful belt, and she said timidly: "Brother Yun Che..."
"Qinghe, what's wrong with you?" Qingzhu was worried about Qinghe's abnormal appearance: "You look... ah? Why is your face a little red, are you sick?"
"Ah! I know!" Feiyan cried out: "Sister Qinghe must have fallen in love with Brother Yun Che!"
"I... How could I!" The faint morning glow turned into a gorgeous sunset glow in an instant, spreading straight to her jade-colored neck. She lowered her head even lower, and then suddenly stamped her feet lightly, turned around and ran away like a frightened butterfly... She didn't dare to look at Yun Che from beginning to end.
"Wow, haha! I was right!" Feiyan laughed triumphantly, and then stared at Yun Che with a pair of bright eyes: "Brother Yunche, Qinghe was embarrassed and ran away, you have to take responsibility!"
"This..." Yun Che pressed his nose in distress.
Wood spirits carry the purest natural power, so females are all euphemistic and lovely, and males are all extremely handsome, but they also lack masculinity. For wood spirit girls who are used to seeing male wood spirits, Yun Che's masculinity, as well as the sharpness and awe honed by countless wind and rain, once they get close and curious, the attraction they generate is often fatal.
He Lin did not laugh. He had been staring at him blankly since Yun Che reported his name, and his mouth corners slowly bit up, getting tighter and tighter.
When Yun Che noticed his abnormality, he suddenly knelt heavily in front of Yun Che.
"Ah? Young clan leader!" Feiyan and Qingzhu were shocked.
"He Lin, you?" Yun Che quickly reached out to help him up.
He Lin knelt there stubbornly, looking up with a pair of trembling eyes: "I... I don't want to call you Brother Yun Che, I... I... I want to call you Master."
Yun Che: "..."
"Master! Can you please be my Master? I want to become as powerful as you... I... I will work hard, I can endure hardships, no matter how great the hardships are, I can do it, Master, please accept me."
He Lin was not asking, but begging... begging with too strong desire.
"He Lin." Yun Che's palm pressed on his young shoulder: "You are a wood spirit, and I am a human. Although we are similar, our strengths are different, so I can't be your Master."
"No! Master can teach me, we can also use profound strength in the same way as humans, this is what my parents told me." He Lin said firmly: "Because, my parents are so powerful, they have defeated many, many powerful villains and protected countless tribesmen. I want to be as powerful as Master, I want to protect my tribesmen like my parents, I... I will listen to Master, I can do anything for Master, please Master, please... Father, please accept me."
"..." Yun Che squatted down, his eyes showing the gentleness that only appeared in front of his relatives: "He Lin, the power of one person is limited after all. Even if you become ten times stronger than me, you can't change the fate of the Wood Spirit Clan, but it depends on the joint efforts of the entire clan. "
"You are the young patriarch of the Wood Spirit Clan, but don't forget that you are still a child and don't need to bear such heavy pressure on your shoulders. What you should do most is to grow up peacefully under the protection of your clan members. When you grow up, use your mature wings to protect your clan members, okay? "
"I...I know..." Two traces of tears slowly slid down He Lin's cheeks: "I know that even if I become strong, it is impossible to change the fate of our entire clan, but...that way, I can at least have I left here one day to find my sister and protect my sister... I promised my parents that I would protect my sister, but... But I can't find my sister. I don't know where she is. Is she being bullied by bad people? ...I miss her so much...I really want to find her, I really want to protect my sister from being bullied again...but...but..."
Yun Che's hand on He Lin's shoulder tightened slightly, unable to speak.
When he and He Lin were the same age, he was ridiculed and sneered at because of the disability of his profound veins. However, he had Xiao Lie's meticulous care and protection, Xiao Lingxi's inseparable company, and Xia Yuanba You can laugh and play, you can go where you want and do what you want. You have no idea what escape and fear are, let alone shouldering the burden of a race.
Compared with his peers, he can be said to be pitiful with his disabled profound veins.
But compared to He Lin, he was undoubtedly in heaven at that time.
