ch92-10

The Crimson Moon hung high in the sky, and the Treant Forest was so quiet that only the sound of the wind and the leaves playing could be heard. The earth and the forest were asleep, and they were not affected by the quarrel between the two beastmen.

In the tree hole, Gou Liang curled up in a corner, resisting Meng Hao's approach.

Neither of them were asleep. Meng Hao swung his tail irritably and looked at Gou Liang, who was hugging his legs and curling up in the soft grass with his face buried in his knees. His icy blue eyes were filled with anxiety and helplessness.

"I like you, Meng Hao."

This voice kept ringing in his ears. No matter how hard Meng Hao tried to close his ears, he could not stop it from entering his ears.

Meng Hao could not describe what he was feeling at that time. Perhaps he was happy, but more than that, he was terrified, as if he was facing a great enemy.

It was very similar to when he was bitten by the black crocodile on the neck. Not only was his life in danger, but his weak brother could also die at any time. It made him more nervous and vigilant than ever.

Therefore, when Gou Liang repeated this sentence, he stiffly and firmly scolded him, "Shut up, you better give up on this idea from now on!"

"I don't want to."

Gou Liang's expression was stubborn, but his expression was very terrified, and he kept crying.

Meng Hao clenched his fists. At that moment, he had a strong urge to hug him, to agree to all his requests, to make him stop crying. However, his rationality, which was sharper than this impulse, stopped him.

Gou Liang also did not want to cry.

He wiped his tears and looked up at Meng Hao. "You should give up on this ridiculous idea of me being contracted to Meng Hui. I will not be contracted to him! Meng Hao, even if you reject me, I will not choose anyone else. "

"Lang Xi, you are not a five-year-old child anymore." As he spoke, Meng Hao's voice was tight. He paused, then continued, "You should be responsible for the words you said and the things you did."

"I don't remember what I said. How do you expect me to take responsibility?"

"Besides, I'm very sure that no matter if it's the current me or the previous me, I don't like Meng Hui! If I really liked him to the point of forming a contract with him, then why don't I have any feelings for him now? Towards you, towards Ghar … I mean, my Papa, Papa, and even towards Lang Fei, I have that kind of intimate and trusting feeling, but I don't have that kind of feeling towards Meng Hui. "

"Isn't that enough to prove that I never loved him? And if I didn't love him, how could I have made a lifelong vow with him? "

"If you force me to be with him, will Meng Hui be happy? Don't tell me you want your brother's life to end because of a ridiculous promise, marrying a female who doesn't love him and living in pain forever? "

In the face of Gou Liang's questioning, Meng Hao's expression turned livid.

"Yes, you didn't accept his proposal because you liked him. But a promise is a promise. Whether you remember it or not, you have to keep it. "

"Meng Hao, you obviously like me too. Why do you still say that?"

"I don't like you."

Meng Hao said resolutely.

But was he really as certain as he claimed to be? Meng Hao didn't know, but Gou Liang was very clear. Because ….

[Ding, the target's affection level has been updated. Current affection level: Data is unstable. Calculating accurately.]

"Coward!"

Meng Hao's ears trembled. Gou Liang's last words rang in his ears again. He swung his tail even more impatiently.

Until Gou Liang's tense shoulders relaxed, the soft sobbing sound finally stopped, and he slowly fell asleep. Meng Hao couldn't wait to use his tail to curl him back to his side — —

"If you don't like me, why did you do something that made me misunderstand?"

Gou Liang's voice suddenly rang out.

He raised his head and looked at the frozen Meng Hao with his red and swollen eyes. He struggled but couldn't break free. He said angrily, "Didn't you dislike me? Then what are you doing now? Or have you always been playing with a female's feelings like this? "

"Awoo!"

Meng Hao roared.

"Let me go!"

"Awoo."

Meng Hao lay down and was pressed on his back. His attitude of rejection was very straightforward.

Gou Liang struggled a few times with his hands and feet, but he couldn't break free. He simply laid down flat and said with a voice that was hoarse from crying, "Meng Hao, what do you want?"

"Awoo …."

"Speak human language!"

"… … Sleep. We'll talk about this when we get back to the tribe. "

Gou Liang shouted in disappointment and anger, "I'm not going back! If you want to go, go by yourself! Anyway, when we go back, you will force me to fulfill some promise. Why don't you just leave me in the forest now? I'll never go back! "

"Impossible — —"

"Child, are you serious?"

Unexpectedly, a third voice that didn't belong to Gou Liang and Meng Hao suddenly sounded.

Meng Hao roared and suddenly stood up straight. He used his tail to press Gou Liang tightly and instantly entered battle mode.

But before he could spread his wings and leave the tree hole, the tree roots that formed the tree hole were suddenly uprooted and shrunk into a cage. It rose from the ground and rolled towards the depths of the forest of Tree Men.

"Awoo!"

Meng Hao moved Gou Liang from his back to his abdomen and lowered his body to protect him tightly. He roared and used his sharp claws and teeth to tear the tree roots. But after he tore them apart, new tree roots immediately grew out, making the cage impregnable without any gaps.

"Meng Hao … …"

"Awoo!!"

Hearing his voice, Meng Hao's movements became even more fierce. Gou Liang struggled to say in the midst of the bumps, "Meng Hao, they don't have any bad intentions. Don't resist … …"

"Awoo?"

Meng Hao stopped. "What is this?"

"I don't know, but I can feel that they really don't have any bad intentions."

Meng Hao was surprised and doubtful. He curled up his body and rolled along with the tree roots, moving quickly.

When they finally stopped, the tree roots scattered and went back into the ground, and they regained their freedom.

Meng Hao spread his wings and flew up, maintaining his attack mode. He roared and observed the surroundings. He was very familiar with the forest of Tree Men. According to the speed and time they moved just now, they were definitely not out of the forest of Tree Men. But he had never seen this place before.

The vegetation here was lush and full of vitality. Although it was night, green fluorescence floated everywhere, completely covering the luster of the crimson moon. It was as bright as day.

A towering tree stood in front of them. The crown of the tree covered the moonlight. The trunk of the tree was so huge that it made Meng Hao, who was in his beast form, look as small as an ant.

"Awoo!"

"Haha, little beastmen of the Winged Wolf Clan, the Tree Men Clan and the Winged Wolf Clan will be forever reconciled. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

"Awoo!!"

"I don't want to do anything to your little female. I just want to ask her for help."

"Awoo!"

"I can come out if you want, but you have to let go of the little female in your arms first. Otherwise, she will be suffocated to death by you."

The old voice that called itself a Tree Man said.

Meng Hao was shocked. He then landed on the ground and let go of Gou Liang.

"Cough, cough, cough …"

Because Meng Hao was too nervous, Gou Liang, who was protected too tightly, was really suffocated. His face was red.

"Lang Xi!"

Meng Hao used his tail to support Gou Liang, who couldn't stand up. The latter was lying on his tail and coughing violently. This made Meng Hao panic instantly.

A Tree Man, who was about the size of a newborn beastman, with black hair and a long green beard, floated to Gou Liang on the leaves of a giant tree. He raised his hand and touched Gou Liang's head. A cool energy flowed past and instantly took away the discomfort on Gou Liang's body.

"You Tree Men have a unique way of inviting friends."

After recovering, Gou Liang immediately retorted.

"Child, you scared them."

The old Tree Man held down a palm-sized Little Tree Man from his head. As he comforted him, he continued with a smile, "I'm very sorry. The location of the Tree Men Tribe can't be revealed to the public, so I've been rude."

The Little Tree Man's eyes were not squinted into a line like the old Tree Man's. On his small face, his nose, eyes, and ears were especially small. Only his eyes were big. At this moment, he was looking at Gou Liang and Meng Hao timidly. Thousands of Little Tree Men, whose bodies were almost transparent, hidden behind the roots, hair, and beard of the old Tree Man, also poked their heads out one after another. They looked at them with fear and curiosity at the same time.

Gou Liang looked at them curiously, then sat on Meng Hao's tail and asked, "You said you wanted my help?"

"Yes, little female of the Winged Wolf Clan."

"My name is Wolf Xi."

"Oh, so you're the son of the Winged Wolf Clan's chief."

The old Tree Man's smile became more benevolent. "Don't be afraid, little Wolf Xi. I have no ill intentions. Many years ago, I met with the priest of the Winged Wolf Clan. He fixed my roots. At that time, we agreed that when the descendants of the Winged Wolf Clan enter the Tree Men Forest, not only will I not harm them, I will also protect them from being harmed by strange beasts. "

"The priest once told us this story."

"He's still alive?"

"No, the priest who made a contract with you has returned to the embrace of the Beast God a long time ago."

The old Tree Man nodded. "I slept for too long … … The Beast God gave us the Tree Man Clan longevity, but unfortunately, we can't stop the life of other clans from passing away. Child, just now this naughty child heard you say that you have the power of prayer and woke me up. I wonder if it's true? "

He pointed at the Little Tree Man in his palm.

"Yes, I do have the power of prayer. You came to me to pray to the Beast God? "

The old Tree Man smiled and nodded. "I want to ask you to comb my hair again. It's too knotted."

"But I don't know how to."

"You can, child, as long as you sincerely pray to the Beast God."

Gou Liang, "… …"

Looking at the smiling pocket-sized old man, Gou Liang patted Meng Hao's tail and asked him to send him to the back of his old acquaintance. He raised his hand to touch his old acquaintance's hard root hair, and his expression showed that he was in a difficult position.

[Gou Liang: Xiao Si, is there such a function in the System?]

[System: … … Don't doubt your memory, dear master.]

How could there be such a good item in the System Store?

[System: Master, the Main System has received our request for help. We are now discussing emergency countermeasures. Please stall for time.]

Gou Liang said, "First of all, if it's not combed, you have to send Meng Hao and I out of here. You can't make things difficult for us."

The old Tree Man smiled and said, "Of course."

Gou Liang then began to pray.

"Merciful Beast God, my name is Wolf Dawn. I now pray to comb the hair of the Longevity Tree Man. I wonder if you will listen to the humble request of your people … …"

With an extremely unprofessional prayer chant, Gou Liang felt the origin power of the Beastman World approaching. The green leaves of the Longevity Tree Man revolved around him. The old Tree Man's eyes widened in surprise. What a powerful prayer power this was!

Gou Liang also felt it. He could actually control this origin power and was very close to it!

[Gou Liang: Xiao Si, what's going on?]

[System: Master … …]

[Main System Forceful Insertion: No. 00402 Executor, please note that the repulsion between the host and the origin power of the current world has stopped. The executor can use the origin power to solve the current problem. In addition, in view of the host being locked by the laws of the world's Main God, the executor must be careful in the future.]

[Gou Liang: _ (: з _ ∠) _.]

"Merciful Beast God … …"

Before Gou Liang could finish his flattery, the Longevity Tree Man's leaves around him suddenly surrounded him intimately, lifted him up, and flew into the air.

"Wolf Dawn!"

Meng Hao was shocked. He quickly flapped his wings and chased after him.

At this moment, the earth suddenly shook!

A powerful airflow came with the collapse of the mountain and the falling of trees and boulders. The old Tree Man and the young Tree Men who were sitting on the leaves were caught off guard and were slapped to the ground, falling on their backs. The bruised old Tree Man hurriedly sent the young Tree Men back to the Longevity Tree. He also quickly went back to the Longevity Tree, climbed to the top of the tree, and sat peacefully.

Touching his loose hair, the old Tree Man with green blood flowing out showed a happy smile.

As the chief of the Tree Men Tribe, the old Tree Man's body was closely related to this huge Longevity Tree. His knotted hair spread out bit by bit, which was equivalent to the roots of the Longevity Tree spreading out bit by bit.

The Longevity Tree was almost the same age as the Greenwood Forest. The size of the roots that had been rooted for thousands of years was beyond people's imagination.

A slight movement would bring about the effect of a magnitude 10 earthquake, not to mention that his knotted hair was spreading out.

Gou Liang, who was high in the sky, was stunned as he looked at the forest in the earthquake. In an instant, the forest was submerged in the rolling yellow soil, and the dying screams of the strange beasts shook the sky.

Oh my god, so this is how the Tree Men comb their hair.

How terrifying!

The willful old Tree Man did not care about the life and death of those pitiful strange beasts. Taking advantage of the moment when the ground was loose, he desperately expanded his roots and planted them deeper and wider.

In just an instant, the old Tree Man's hair grew by one-tenth, which meant that the Longevity Tree's roots had also expanded correspondingly. One could imagine how many places had suffered from the disaster.

When everything calmed down, a rainstorm that was impossible to appear in the Red Rose Season poured down, and the dust brought by the earthquake was instantly blown away.

In this way, except for Gou Liang, who was tightly protected by the Longevity Tree's leaves, no one else was spared.

Especially Meng Hao. First, he was pounced on by the dust and turned into a big yellow wolf. Now, he was directly hit by the rain and became like a drowning dog. His glossy hair stuck together, and he instantly became thin, his whole body dirty.

When the sky cleared up again, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

The bruised and swollen Old Tree Man had already recovered. Not only that, the originally transparent Little Tree Men also had a physical body.

Gou Liang looked at the battered Meng Hao with heartache, and glared at Old Tree Man fiercely. "Why didn't you tell us in advance?"

Old Tree Man: … I should be the one asking you that, little female.

However, he did not mind Gou Liang's rudeness now that he had obtained great benefits. He said with a smile, "Child, thank you for saving the Tree Men."

Gou Liang's eyes lit up. "How are you going to thank me?"

"Uh …"

Looking at Old Tree Man's astonished eyes, Gou Liang was speechless.

Could it be that the last great priest who combed his hair was actually dismissed by an irrelevant thank you and a so-called peace contract?

Old Tree Man said calmly, "There is already enough food on this land. This is our Tree Men's gift of thanks. It can help the Winged Wolf Clan pass through the next White Rose Season safely and abundantly."

Hehe, I'm sure how that great priest was fooled.

Gou Liang: "If you're referring to the strange beasts that were scared to death or smashed to death by the Beast God's wrath, then it's indeed enough. → - →"

Old Tree Man was silent for a moment before he once again put on a stiff smile and said, "It's indeed offensive to use the creatures that the Beast God has angered as a gift. How about this, we Tree Men are willing to give you a Longevity Fruit as thanks. It only bears fruit once every ten thousand years, and it's very rare for us Tree Men. Although it can't help people live forever, it's the most precious medicinal ingredient in the world. I heard that you're looking for the Purple Flower Red Moon. Presumably, you'll need it. "

When Gou Liang heard this, he hurriedly told them about Meng Hui's situation. Old Tree Man said with certainty, "After taking the Longevity Fruit, he'll definitely be as good as new, and even stronger than before."

Gou Liang and Meng Hao were overjoyed.

This was a completely unexpected surprise. Although the stingy Old Tree Man's gift of thanks didn't seem sincere, Gou Liang didn't bargain anymore.

At dawn, Gou Liang and Meng Hao were sent out of the Tree Men Tribe in the same rude way by Old Tree Man.

However, before they left, the old treant generously gave them three longevity leaves.

Although the Longevity Leaves would wither after five or six days after leaving the Mother Tree, the smell of the Longevity Tree could make strange beasts not dare to approach. Moreover, it covered a large area, enough to protect them on their way back.

Looking down from the sky, this piece of land was completely different from when they came. A complete mess wasn't enough to describe the extent of the destruction!

Only the Tree Men Forest suffered the least damage and was still intact. A large area radiating out from the Tree Men Forest was severely damaged. As far as the eye could see, there were corpses of strange beasts everywhere.

"We're rich!!!"

Gou Liang sat on Meng Hao's back and shouted in surprise.

"Awoo!"

Meng Hao was also excited.

Gou Liang said, "Quick, let's go back! Let the tribe quickly come and collect the ready-made ones. In a short period of time, strange beasts won't dare to come here. "

"Awoo, awoo!"

Meng Hao carried the spoils of war from the past ten days and flew back to the Wall Tribe with Gou Liang at the fastest speed.

Because of the protection of the Longevity Leaves, Meng Hao continued to fly at night for the two-day journey and arrived at the tribe at noon the next day.

At this time, Lang Xiong was still out hunting with half of the warriors of the tribe.

After hearing this, the old priest was extremely excited and immediately called back the team that had gone out to collect. Five thousand male orcs and two Longevity Leaves were left to protect the females gathered at the priest's place. The remaining thirty thousand orcs carried a leaf and headed to the Tree Men Forest under the lead of Meng Hao. At the same time, he sent someone to inform the tribe leader to lead everyone to meet up with Meng Hao.

Three days later, the black mass of orcs rushed back to the Wall Tribe.

The sound of strange beasts being placed on the ground rumbled, and the earth shook. The mountains of strange beast meat made the tribe let out earth-shattering cheers.

In this white moon season, they no longer had to worry about food!

The roars of wild beasts gathered and resounded throughout the Wobb Plains.

The Cloud Cliff Tribe, which was adjacent to the Wall Tribe, said, "A good harvest? Isn't it too early now?? Quickly go and see what happened to the Wall Tribe. "

The River Lake Tribe in the distance said, "… Looks like we won't be able to rob the hunting team this year."

The Bray Tribe in the distance said, "A good harvest? Hmph, if we don't rob them now, when will we?! "

The Green Forest Tribe in the distance said, "Oh, oh, the Ents are showing their power. Boys, don't pick up the strange beast meat anymore. Let's move quickly …"

*

Meng Hao did not participate in the tribe's celebration. He could not wait to see Meng Hui. He was eager to verify whether the longevity fruit had the miraculous effect that Old Ent had said.

Meng Hui was pacing back and forth outside Gou Liang's house. His mobility had recovered, and he rushed over in surprise when he saw Gou Liang.

Meng Hao was overjoyed.

"Hui —"

"Brother, you're back!" Meng Hui rushed over and said anxiously, "That's great. Quickly go in and see Xiao Xi. He has locked himself in his room for three days and three nights."

"… What happened?"

The smile on Meng Hao's face fell, and he frowned.

Meng Hui said sadly, "The High Priest told Xiao Xi that he … Sigh, it's just that the pregnancy stone has no reaction to Xiao Xi …"

Meng Hao's eyes widened.

*

"Lang Xi."

Seeing Gou Liang, who was originally healthy and round in the Ents' forest, suddenly become haggard and thin, Meng Hao's heart clenched.

He was still so young. It was too cruel for him to lose the ability to have children …

"You already knew, didn't you? That's why you weren't willing to accept me. "

Gou Liang looked at him expressionlessly.

Meng Hao was stunned. "How is that possible, I —"

"I'm just joking with you …" Gou Liang smiled. His smile was uglier than crying. "Now you know that even without you, I can't form a contract with Meng Hui. The tribe will not let the Black-Winged Wolf Beastmen ruin the Beast God's favor … You don't have to think of ways to reject me anymore. Anyway, I'm just a useless female. "

Meng Hao stepped forward and clenched his fist. "Lang Xi, cheer up! There are many females without children in the tribe. Aren't they all living well? "

"You don't mind?"

"Of course not —"

Gou Liang interrupted him. "Then what if I say that I want to form a contract with you?"

Meng Hao was stunned and then shook his head. "I can't, Lang Xi …"

"See, you also despise me."

"No, why would I despise you!"

Meng Hao hurriedly denied it.

Gou Liang stood up from the bed and held his face. He said sadly, "Then marry me."

"Lang Xi, I can't …"

Before he could finish, Gou Liang's tears fell on his face. Meng Hao was at a loss. "Don't cry, don't cry …"

He clumsily wiped Gou Liang's tears. Gou Liang steeled his heart, lowered his head and kissed him firmly on the lips. Meng Hao was stunned and subconsciously wanted to push him away. But the bitter tears flowed down Gou Liang's lips and into his mouth. Meng Hao's hand froze on the spot and slowly fell down.

Gou Liang pressed his lips against Meng Hao's lips. He cried and said, "Meng Hao, I like you … No, I love you … I love you …"

He poured out his heart full of emotions, but his tone sounded like he was saying goodbye.

"But, I don't have the right to have you …"

He laughed hurriedly. His tears fell faster and faster. He ended this hurried and shallow kiss and said softly, "I'm sorry. I won't bother you anymore in the future."

"Lang Xi …"

Meng Hao's heart was tightly clenched. When Gou Liang stepped back, he didn't even have time to think and hugged him into his arms.

"Don't cry."

Meng Hao clumsily wiped his tears. After a moment of silence, he said, "You're wrong. The person who doesn't have the right to have you has always been me."

Gou Liang opened his eyes wide.

His eyes were filled with a cautious surprise. He raised his head and wanted to kiss Meng Hao, but Meng Hao tightly held his waist and he couldn't touch him.

Gou Liang laughed at himself. The light in his eyes was quickly covered by shadows.

Oh?!

It was Meng Hao who lowered his head and quickly kissed Gou Liang's lips without hesitation.

[Ding, the target's favorability has been updated. Current favorability: 81!]
