Chapter 16 Gru Tree Man It was like walking into a lost underground world, which reminded Li Yi of the Adventures to the Center of the Earth that he had seen. What he could see was a completely upside down world, with tree roots entwined. Staggered in the sky. It was a sky made of rocks, like a cover covering the entire world, and then the entire huge tree stood upside down. Thick trunks grew from top to bottom from the rocks above. Below were huge mushroom-like trees. The canopy of trees is intertwined with green shade. ¡°Then below is the vast ocean, as blue as the sky, with no end in sight, flowing toward an unknown end in the distance. A ray of light like the rising sun came from the direction of the end, illuminating the whole world. "Please come with me." Just as Li Yi was admiring this wonderful scene, he suddenly heard a simple and honest voice like a little boy. Li Yi looked stunned and saw the tree man in front of him. Made an inviting gesture. "Can you speak?" Li Yi asked incredulously. "Yeah." The tree man nodded with a smile on his face. Then he stretched out his hand, and countless green vines slowly flew out from the green canopy, setting up a simple bridge in the sky. The tree man slowly walked up along the bridge. Li Yi was in disbelief. In his eyes, he could only follow. Then, he followed the tree man into the huge tree crown. The dense green leaves in the tree crown automatically became sparse after seeing the tree man and Li Yi. Li Yi also saw the scene in the tree crown. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Instant. Shocked and speechless. It turns out that these inverted tree crowns are the houses of tree people, and the whole house is like a bird's nest. Completely wrapped in thick branches and leaves, Li Yi felt very soft under his feet, a bit like stepping on thick snowflakes, but it looked very solid. The five tree people I saw looked older than the tree people who brought Li Yi here. They had been waiting for him in the tree house. After seeing the tree people walking in with Li Yi, they looked a little older. Slowly stood up. "Welcome. Stranger from afar!" The tree man in the center seems to be the oldest, and his skin has turned gray, just like a tree slowly losing its life. The other four tree men followed and saluted him. Li Yi looked at all this with some confusion. The tree man who brought Li Yi here saw that the task was completed and was about to leave, but was stopped by the tree man. "Grum. You can stay. There are some things you must know." The voice was very old, and Li Yi also knew that the tree man he had saved was called Grum. Grum looked surprised. His expression was very funny, then he nodded and said respectfully: "Okay, Uyghur Prophet." Then I saw this prophet named Uyghur nodded, and then raised his hand. The branches under Li Yi's feet began to change, and a simple chair appeared behind him. "Please take a seat." Li Yi did it without being polite. Then I heard the Uyghur prophet say in a desolate tone: "I am very grateful to you for saving Groot yesterday. Please accept our respect for you." "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Li Yi hurriedly waved his hand and looked at these trees. In front of others, he is like a child. "Do you have anything to do with me?" Li Yi asked very simply. Looking at the formation in front of him to receive him, he knew that it would never be a simple matter of thanking him. The five tree men looked at each other and seemed to be communicating with each other. They made Gruglu sounds that Li Yi couldn't understand at all. After a while, the Uyghur prophet said: "Yes, we need your help. After knowing that you saved Groot yesterday, we think that only you can help us." Li Yi was a little stunned, no Understand exactly what they want you to help. I heard the Uyghur prophet say: "We are a tribe of Gelush people, children of the god of trees. We have lived on this planet for hundreds of millions of years from the time the first seeds sprouted to now. We love nature and peace. , hate the endless disputes. We originally thought that we could live so quietly and peacefully on this planet, but a few natural days ago, a great power sensed our existence. " "A great power?" Li Yi was stunned and didn't understand what it was. It was seen that the Uyghur prophet did not understand much, and said: "That power only swept across our planet lightly, but we have already felt that we have been discovered. From that moment on, we understoodThe quiet and peaceful days are far away from us. " At this time, Alpha, who was hidden in Li Yi's ring, suddenly said: "It should be the Protos clan of the Life Parliament. They control the power of the soul, and the minds of the intelligent races in the universe cannot escape their prying eyes. They should feel the life here, that's why so many people come here, and they do these nasty things. "Alfa's tone gradually became disdainful, as if he was very disgusted. Li Yi didn't have much expression. He still looked at the tree man in front of him seriously and asked: "Don't you want to be discovered? What I mean is , what if, even if you are discovered by other beings, they do not harm you, but just protect you? "Didn't Alpha say that everyone in the Life Council will protect intelligent life?" The Uyghur prophet shook his head and replied in a sad tone: "We, the Gru tree people, are the children of the tree god. Although we can live It has been a long, long time, but the birth of every new life is extremely difficult. Each of our lives is the embodiment of the purest breath of this planet. It takes hundreds of years to become a new life, and no mistakes are allowed. Therefore, Our world does not allow a trace of pollution, there cannot be a trace of dust in the air, and there cannot be any impurities in the sea and rivers. " "I know that the power that glanced at us did not have any malicious intent, but I believe that other lives are not like this. Just like the lives that hurt Grum yesterday, as long as we are discovered, strife will be inevitable. By then, the air will no longer be pure, the seas and rivers will be filled with mud, and the earth will be riddled with holes. Then, our race will face the risk of extinction. " Uighur's voice fell, and Li Yi probably understood it, but he was a little curious at the same time. "What can I do for you?" As his voice fell, Alpha's angry voice was heard from the ring. "Don't mind your own business, we don't have it. So much time. " "Don't be anxious, listen first, we can't leave now, right? Wouldn't it be better if we could help them? "Li Yi said comfortingly. After hearing Li Yi's question, these tree people also communicated with Gru and Gru. After unifying their opinions, the Uyghur prophet spoke: "We hope that you will become our representative and communicate with Gru and Gru. Go and negotiate with the beings who appear here, let them leave our planet and never come back. " "That's all. Is this really a bad idea? "Li Yi frowned and said: "With all due respect, from the moment your planet was discovered, your existence has been known to many people. Even if they leave, there will be more greedy people. Life comes here. " Li Yi's words made these tree people change their colors. Their pure thinking prevented them from thinking about more things. They knew how terrible the greed and sinisterness of human nature are. Even the prophet in front of them, who had lived for a long time, could not It is impossible to guess that they started to communicate with each other for a long time, but there was no answer. Li Yi had nothing to do and looked at these trees, and then glanced at the people next to them. Grum, with his eyes closed, seemed to be dozing off. He felt Li Yi's gaze and smiled with a simple smile. The more these tree people discussed, the louder Grum's voice became. He seemed a little angry and pessimistic, but there was no normal outcome. At this time, Li Yi couldn't bear it and clapped his hands. After attracting their attention, he said: "Things are not that bad, my. Meaning, if you can, you might want to listen to my opinion. " All the tree people's eyes were fierce, looking at him with an expectant expression, which made Li Yi a little confused. "I mean, since you have been discovered, escaping is already a problem. It's impossible, but maybe you can communicate with the lives outside. I mean, you can apply for protection or something. Maybe there's a way to get the best of both worlds. " Then came Gruglu's voice again, but this time it ended quickly. The Uyghur prophet said to Li Yi with high respect and gratitude: "Thank you for your suggestion, this may be the best now. There's a solution. "With that said, he summoned Grum, who seemed to be about to fall asleep. "Come here, kid! " Grum saw the Uyghur Prophet calling him, and walked over respectfully. Groom saw the Uyghur Prophet patting Groom's head, speaking a strange language, and then saw green light coming from the Uyghur Prophet's head. within the body, it was transmitted to Grum¡¯s body, and then he heardThe Uyghur prophet said slowly. "This is the wisdom that our family has always inherited. Now I give it to you. You will take our place with this kind life and negotiate with those outside lives for us." Soon, the inheritance ceremony of knowledge ended. When Groom stood up again, Li Yi found that his deep eyes already had a few glimmers of wisdom, but the expression on his face was still so simple and honest, making people laugh. Li Yi suppressed a smile, but was surprised to see the Uyghur prophet suddenly waved to him. "This is?" (To be continued)
