My different world is game mode.

Chapter 181 Forest of Stars
Elder Roots tells the story of the tree mother.

According to what it says.

A hundred years ago, there was a prosperous forest ahead. Under the management of the tree mother, the entire area was full of vitality and obeyed the laws of harmony.

This is perfectly consistent with Lindsay’s understanding.

Because long before the arrival of the dragon beast, the expedition team also recorded the situation here when passing by this canyon area.

They made no mention of any dangerous creatures lurking in the forest.

On the contrary, it was recorded that the scenery here was beautiful, and the members of the expedition team were in a good mood because of it.

They even gave it a name, the Forest of Stars, to commemorate a meteor shower they saw here.

It is a pity that the situation of the Star Forest has not remained unchanged after a hundred years.

When Dragon Head, the ruler of the Black Mountain world, comes, he will naturally not let go of such a vast area as the Forest of Stars.

Originally adhering to the natural way, the tree mother of the great forest was forced to join the dragon beast...

"Have you never thought of resisting?"

Lindsay listened quietly to the other party's news, but Hong suddenly spoke.

The girl was liberated from captivity by Lindsay before. Although she lost her memory, she also knew that her position as a prisoner and the dragon beast were definitely not good.

At this moment, I heard the so-called tree mother and chose to surrender to the dragon beast.

The dissatisfaction in Hong's heart is almost written on her face:

"If I were you, even if I risked my life, I would never give in casually."

Elder Roots didn't care about Hong's disdain.

It explains this issue from its own perspective as a plant elf:

"We creatures born from plants generally have long lifespans. Even if the dragon beast rules us, after a long time, it will eventually turn into nutrients for the earth, but the forest will still exist."

"What's more, in nature, the weak eat the strong, and surrendering to the strong is not an unacceptable choice."

"Haha——" Hong snorted coldly and stopped talking to Elder Gensu.

Lindsay did not comment on this, but just guided the other party to continue telling what happened:

"Since you beings in the forest accept the fate of surrender, then you should live in the forest and cannot appear here."

"Something else happened later. This should also be the reason why you left the forest, right?"

"Human, you are very smart." Elder Roots agreed with Lindsay's inference, "About the 52nd evolution cycle...that is, 13 years before you humans, the dragon beast sent an envoy into the forest."

Having said this, Elder Gensu paused briefly.

It seemed to remember some very terrible encounters, and it adjusted its mood before continuing to speak:
"After the messenger arrives, he orders the extraordinary beings in the forest to hand over the source of matter and help the dragon beast complete its advancement."

"Ms. Tree Mother originally had a gentle temperament and loved nature."

"But as her essential power was continuously extracted, her character became twisted and violent. She is not like a forest tree, but an anti-beast."

What Elder Roots said is consistent with the reminder from the Corrupted Poisonous Spider.

Lindsay silently looked at the Starry Forest in the east. The green in her field of vision was endless. It did not fade even after disappearing from the horizon. Instead, it became even wider, almost becoming the earth itself.

This area is already vast.

Through the management of the extraordinary beings in the forest, it has continued to expand over thousands of years, and its area is equivalent to a large country.

Refer to the records of the expedition as they traversed the forest.

The Star Forest should be more than 2000 kilometers long from east to west. It has not been explored from south to north, so we don’t know how far it is.

Now the rulers are gradually going crazy in their submission.

It is completely foreseeable that some people will choose to cut off the tail of a gecko and escape.

"The tree spirits at the junction of the worlds probably escaped from here too."

Lindsay sighed in a low voice.

Then he nodded slightly to Elder Roots to express his approval:

"So you didn't want to accept this result, so you escaped?"

Elder Gensu quickly admitted:
"I've told you what I know about the situation. According to the agreement, you can let me go..."

Lindsay suddenly interrupted the other party's plea:
"Yes, you have a reason to leave the forest. But this does not explain your behavior of reminding us. As an escapee who betrayed the tree mother, you should be dormant here instead of coming out to remind people when you see them." "..."

Elder Roots was silent for a moment, but soon found a reason.

"You two are both human awakeners. If you are caught in the forest, you will undoubtedly help the dragon beast advance."

"I came out to remind you just to prevent him from..."

"Stop talking about such ridiculous reasons." Lindsay once again interrupted Elder Roots forcefully, "How many awakened people like us are there in such a huge forest? Even if they are caught, What difference will there be if there are two more of us?”

At this point, Lindsay's eyes became aggressive.

The neutral existence of the yellow mark will never take the risk to remind them.

Combined with the previous encounter, a bold idea emerged in Lindsay's mind.

Even if you guess wrong, you won’t lose a piece of meat!
At most, I will be teased a little more by Hong during dinner tonight...

Lindsay made an instant decision, and the next second she asked in a stern tone:
"There should be someone else behind you, and it is precisely because of the order of this person behind the scenes that you gave us a reminder."

"..."

Elder Roots fell silent and stopped answering.

Lindsay continued to increase the coercion in her language:
"And the rock golem that was lurking in my camp at the beginning."

"If you were still in the fifth stage, it might still be possible to create such a big puppet; but with your current strength in the fourth stage, you definitely don't have the corresponding capabilities."

"Tell me honestly, who is instigating you behind the scenes!"

Elder Roots' reaction was unexpected.

This guy who could be humble and begging in order to survive, now completely shut up and made no answer.

It was as if a decision had been made.

Even if it is killed by Lindsay here, it won't reveal any more information.

Sometimes, the attitude of not answering is itself an answer.

When Hong on the side saw the scene happening in front of her, she knew that Lindsay had guessed some truth.

But when faced with this problem, Elder Gensu chose not to cooperate.

"This is your choice!"

Hong showed no mercy to this, and her fiery red pupils became as cold as iron.

There was no hesitation in her movements, and the meteorite spear that had been hanging on Elder Roots' head immediately burst into red flames.

Rumble!
Almost at the same time, the ground on the edge of the cliff trembled, making people unstable.

At the moment of Elder Roots' life and death crisis, an earthy-colored puppet appeared from the earth, holding his hands high.

It didn't know when it lurked, and it was located below the three of them.

Elder Roots is about to be burned to death by a meteorite spear.

It was also protected by its closed hands, trying to drag it underground.

"Want to run!"

Although the ground was shaking, the violence in Hong's tone was extremely calm.

boom!
The girl stepped on the ground and jumped up like an eagle.

The meteorite spear in her hand was held high in the flames, and she immediately aimed at the rock puppet that wanted to sink into the earth.

This blow will not only penetrate the puppet.

The root elder protected by it must also die!
"Please don't hurt him!" At the critical moment, a deep voice sounded from the rock puppet, "He is just following my instructions."

"If you want to know the truth, just follow this puppet and come to see me."

Whoosh-!
The next second, the meteorite spear in Hong's hand was thrown out.

The girl's cold voice was just a sentence of death:
"the truth?"

"Let me die first before we talk!"
