Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 468 [Tree Heart] 37

Huicheng was not vacant for long. After all, the houses and furniture inside were searched by the Japanese, leaving no trace of blood. Soon, brave civilians entered and moved a lot of things. Birds and animals also made their home in the empty city.

The brick and tile houses built by humans are much safer than the caves and branches they dig.

However, not long after, just a few weeks after the clone left, a team of soldiers from Yucheng arrived in Huicheng. After walking around the deserted Huicheng, they did not find a single person, not even half a person, or even a corpse. They left this strange, empty city in horror.

It was three or four months later when the clone returned. Due to the scorching summer sun and the lack of residents, many strange and terrifying rumors had spread in Huicheng.

The clone walked through several small villages nearby and found that the villagers who had fled in panic had now returned from the mountains. Crops had been replanted in the fields at the entrance of the village, and children were running around, having forgotten their previous fears.

Only occasionally, at the foot of the mountain where Feng Lan was located, there would be more fresh food, fruits and incense, which were offerings left by the villagers. The mountain finally had its own name.

Mapletree Hill.

As the name suggests, a mountain with many trees.

All the villagers who had seen the apparition guessed that the mountain god of this mountain should be a tree god. They tried to choose smooth and delicate wood materials for the tablets they offered at home, and carved them into the shape of the vines they had seen in the mountains that day. They also burned a stick of incense every day.

When the clone returned to the mountain, there was already a lot of power of faith, in wisps that ordinary people could not see. But in Feng Lan's eyes, the power of faith near the banyan tree was so much that it was like a thick fog, surrounding the banyan tree and sticking closely to it. Because Feng Lan had never absorbed it, it had to float around her aggrievedly.

It's just that sometimes I'm too close and can't help but hear some whispers.

"May the mountain gods bless us so that we don't have to fight again."

"I hope Xiaobao gets better soon."

"I miss my dad. When will he come back from repairing the trenches?"

"Mountain God, please bless the hen to lay more eggs. Mom will eat one, Dad will eat one, and I'll eat one too."

"Mountain God, oh mountain god, can you please drive away the jackals outside the village..."

"Mountain God, can you eat? Mommy left a big chicken drumstick for you. If you don't want to eat it, I can help you eat it."

From morning to night, when Feng Lan focused his attention on his clone, the banyan tree spirit listened to these words.

But it always has a suspicious attitude towards players, especially this player who is very good at sweet talk. He said he wanted to leave, but why didn't his partner leave? Wasn't it just to monitor it?

It's been almost a week since her clone came back, and none of her companions have returned.

It must have been fabricated to deceive it.

"Lanlan~ I'm back QAQ~"

A little girl with a flower-bud hairstyle fell from the sky. She was wearing a skirt that was half light green and half bright red, which was bright and eye-catching. A light green shawl was wrapped around her arms, and her eyes were bright and clear.

The banyan tree spirit noticed at the first moment that this was a vine monster!

The little girl, who was only as tall as a human thigh, looked at the banyan tree, then at the clone, and finally jumped into the clone's arms with a cheer. Feng Lan hugged Hua Hua, who had unexpectedly transformed in this world, with one hand. Hua Hua hugged Feng Lan's neck and rubbed it, "Am I awesome?! I transformed! Lan Lan~ Lan Lan~ Am I super awesome!"

It's no wonder Huahua was so excited. In the Tianxing Continent copy, she had also practiced diligently for fifty years. Not to mention building the foundation, she had already reached the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage. She also had the top-level skills that Feng Lan and the protagonist had found for her and Bi Ke, but she just couldn't transform into a human form.

But in this world, she'd barely established her foundation! And yet, she'd already transformed into a human form! Although the dungeon's spiritual energy was thin, Huahua's talent made up for it. Furthermore, when she returned to China, she encountered a surprise attack upon landing. Seeing only strangers, Huahua's attempts to mediate proved fruitless, so she decided to join in. Ultimately, with the help of the "Fancy Star-Absorbing Technique," she successfully established her foundation.

Feng Lan touched Hua Hua, feeling numb and tingling with tiny arcs of electricity. She didn't know how many times she had been struck by lightning, so she hadn't digested it yet. She gently touched her flower bud, "Does it hurt when you were struck by the Heavenly Tribulation?"

Huahua nuzzled her and shook her head obediently, "It doesn't hurt."

"Go and play. Bi Ke hasn't come back yet. Don't run too far." The child grew up and didn't want to make her worry. Feng Lan also took this opportunity to ask too much. She generously grabbed a handful of golden light of merit to repair Huahua's body and wipe off the thick bloody evil spirit on Huahua's body.

Huahua ran away happily.

The banyan tree spirit looked at the overly sunny vine spirit with a scrutinizing gaze, feeling inexplicably unhappy, and suppressed the surging emotions in its heart.

It's not a player

The banyan tree spirit spoke, [It is your contracted pet]

"It's her," Feng Lan seemed not to have heard the banyan tree spirit's emotions. Before, when Huahua had no gender, she could be called "it", but now that Huahua had transformed and chosen a female form, she had to be called "her". "Huahua is a girl now."

Haha, the banyan tree spirit sneered.

These are all insidious and cunning tactics used by humans to appease others!

However, what the banyan tree spirit didn't expect was what was to come.

Feng Lan reported to the game, probably applying to say that the dungeon mission was completed. Although she was staying temporarily due to reasons with her companions, considering the wishes of the original inhabitant of her body, she hoped to use the banyan tree clone as a temporary stay identity and become independent until the dungeon was over and she left.

Feng Lan and the banyan tree spirit can see this report.

The banyan tree spirit felt even more stuffy in his chest.

It wanted to say something, but felt that it had no right to say it. After all, this player's position was originally opposed to its own, so it would be better for him to leave as soon as possible.

It doesn't even like sharing a body with others!

Feng Lan's application was quickly approved.

Soon, she and the banyan tree spirit broke away from the state of one body and two souls, and her connection with the mountain beneath her feet was not as strong, but this clone did come from the banyan tree. This state was a bit like Feng Lan and Huahua.

Both parties can sense each other's position and general status, but it is impossible to read each other's minds and share thoughts without deliberately concealing them as before.

The banyan tree spirit thought that the player would probably block it immediately or even cut off contact. After all, having one's mind read or spied on were both annoying behaviors.

But it can still see and feel Feng Lan's perspective through its clone.

However, Feng Lan could also feel the arrival of the banyan tree spirit.

"Hey, don't you want to see me?" Feng Lan immediately caught this weird guy who was peeking around.

[Humph, just to see what conspiracy you are up to]

The banyan tree spirit made a cunning argument, and felt that he was very reasonable and even a little righteous.

「Didn’t you come here just to stop me? I’m here to see what the enemy is doing.」

"Okay, then you can take a look." Feng Lan smiled and added, "You won't understand it anyway."

The banyan tree spirit was furious, but had to admit that the player was very smart. Many times it didn't even understand her behavior, but in the end, the results always turned out for the better in a way it had never expected.

【I want to go to Jade City】

The banyan tree spirit calmed down and said in a very simple manner.

Anyway, all its plans have been guessed, and even its secrets have been revealed, so the banyan tree spirit simply doesn't hide anymore.

[If you don't go, I will destroy this clone]
