In response to Ye Xiaoxiao's words, Li Qiye shook his head with a smile and said: "Now, for me, capturing a tree man alive is of little research value. Tree men are a race that lives in groups, and the entire race must be studied. "
"Why are you so interested in tree people?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask curiously: "You can't create a race. Besides, even if you are given a chance to create a race, a race will never grow from its beginning to its reproduction. I'm afraid it will take a long time, just like the tree people, crossing one era after another, you simply won't be able to wait for that day."
Many monks who come to Shenshu Ridge do not study the tree people at all. For the monks, they come more for the elixirs and herbs in Shenshu Ridge.
Regarding Ye Xiaoxiao's question, Li Qiye smiled and said nothing. The mystery behind it was certainly not something that Ye Xiaoxiao could comprehend at his age, and it was not what Ye Xiaoxiao needed to face.
Li Qiye and Ye Xiaoxiao stayed in the Divine Tree City for several days. During these few days, Li Qiye did not do it for the elixirs or treasures. He stayed in the Divine Tree City purely to observe the tree people.
On this day, Li Qiye and Ye Xiaoxiao continued to wander around Shenshu Ridge. They rested in a restaurant in the city opened by a tree man.
The people resting in this restaurant were not only Li Qiye and Ye Xiaoxiao, but also some monks from all over the world. These monks were sitting in the restaurant in small groups, chatting from all over the world.
Li Qiye sat quietly by the window, watching with interest the busy work of the bartender, shopkeeper, and clerks in the restaurant.
In fact, there is nothing interesting about such a thing. Such ordinary restaurants are everywhere in Tianling World, and such restaurants have no special features at all.
Despite this, Li Qiye watched it with gusto, as if there was some mystery hidden in it.
"Come on, come on, senior brother and the others found a corpse nest." While Li Qiye and Ye Xiaoxiao were resting in this restaurant, a monk hurried in. He said hurriedly to the monks at the table.
As soon as the monks at this table heard this, they immediately paid and left. The other monks in the restaurant also heard this monk's words and immediately became energetic.
"Discovered the corpse nest?" A monk was immediately excited. He immediately stood up and said, "There must be precious elixirs. Let's go." After that, he took his accomplices to check out and left.
All of a sudden, other monks in the restaurant all stood up to check out and leave. For many monks who came to Shenshu City, they came here just for the elixirs and herbs in Shenshu Ridge. Now that someone has discovered the corpse nest, it means that there is an incredible elixir in this corpse nest.
"Shall we go take a look?" Seeing other monks checking out and leaving. Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but get excited and immediately said to Li Qiye.
Ye Xiaoxiao had never seen a tree corpse, let alone encountered a corpse nest. Now when she heard that someone had discovered a corpse nest, could she not be excited as she has always been a curious baby?
"Okay, let's go take a look." Li Qiye smiled and stood up to pay.
The place where the corpse nest was found was in a valley not far from the Divine Tree City. This valley was very deep. Old vines grow, towering old trees, the entire valley is green, and the deep valley is blocked by old trees and vines, making it impossible to see the whole valley at a glance.
Li Qiye and Ye Xiaoxiao stood on a mountain peak outside the valley. They looked at the valley from a distance. Even so, the valley was blocked by old trees and vines, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on in the valley.
When Li Qiye and Ye Xiaoxiao arrived, many monks had already arrived outside the valley. These monks were lying in ambush outside the valley, and they were all staring at the valley.
At this time, many tree corpses walked into the valley from the outside, and it was unknown where these tree corpses came from. They walked into the valley in groups of three and five. Looking at the appearance of these tree corpses, they seemed to be rushing to a banquet, because it could be seen from these tree corpses in groups that these tree corpses did not come from the same place. a place.
The tree corpses don't look much different from the first generation of tree people; they are also the same as the tree people. Most of them maintain their human form, and some of them have turned into wood. Despite this, there is still a big difference between tree corpses and tree people.
The lumbering of the tree corpses appears to be natural at first glance. Their lumbering is natural, unlike the first generation of tree people, whose lumbering is transformed by the muscles and bones of the dead corpses.
As for the tree corpse's wood transformation, it looks like it has been like this since birth. For example, if the arm is also lignified, the lignification of the tree man will look very dull, as if it is framed, as if it is not part of its body.
However, the tree corpse is different. Its arms are lumbered, and it is like a growing branch. It is not only full of life, but also very natural.
Seeing these groups of tree corpses walking into the valley, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be curious and asked Li Qiye, "What is the difference between the tree corpses and the second generation tree people?"
"From the appearance point of view, there is no difference." Li Qiye looked at the tree corpses in groups and said: "Although the tree corpses are said to be dead, that is only from another perspective. In fact, they are not corpses. Their bodies are also alive. However, if you want to distinguish the tree corpses from the second generation tree people, it is also very easy. Look at their eyes, and the lifeless ones are the tree corpses."
After being reminded by Li Qiye, Ye Xiaoxiao went to observe carefully. After a closer look, he found that the eyes of the tree corpse were different. The eyes of the tree corpse were very hollow, as if there was nothing. This pair of eyes was full of death, which was even more terrifying. What's strange is that their eyes are flashing with the aura of death. Logically speaking, this aura of death is only possessed by corpses.
"They have no soul!" Ye Xiaoxiao muttered as he looked at these tree corpses.
Before this, Ye Xiaoxiao had never seen the second generation of tree people. After all, the success rate of the second generation of tree people was extremely low. It was extremely difficult to see the second generation of tree people in such a vast sacred tree ridge. What's more, there are rumors that even if a second generation of tree people is successfully born, it will be protected by the tree people and cannot be seen by outsiders.
"Yes, they have no soul." Li Qiye nodded and said slowly: "Everyone says that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Whether there is a soul or not can be seen from the eyes. It is like a skeleton. Why is it there? When the skeleton is resurrected, its eyes will glow red because that is the fire of the soul!"
"Tree zombies, although they have bodies, their bodies are actually not much different from other races. The problem is that they have no soul, no soul, how to talk about bloodline, how to talk about inheritance, they are just walking zombies But myself." Li Qiye said slowly.
"Why are they born with bodies but no souls?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
Li Qiye smiled and said: "The first generation of tree people is the success, and the first generation of tree people is the failure. The transformation of the first generation of tree people, they are born from corpses. The seeds take root in the brain of the corpse, and the seeds of the seeds take root in the brain of the corpse. The transformation made it become the soul of the first-generation tree people. Even if the first-generation tree people have souls, the first-generation tree people still cannot be regarded as a complete life. They are still half-dead. Such half-dead people, When the second generation is born, the probability that the second generation will be born with a soul is so low that it can be ignored."
Hearing Li Qiye's words, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but fell silent. She fully understood the transformation and birth of the tree people. This made Ye Xiaoxiao understand a lot, and also made her understand how difficult it is for a race to be born. .
"As I said before, creating life is a matter of heaven. It does not mean that if you can create a physical body, you can create life. This is impossible. This is just like a monk. Why is the monk's physical body destroyed? You can reshape your body, but if your true life is destroyed, then you are truly dead. Without your true life, you will lose everything..."
"...The physical body can be reshaped, but the true life cannot be reshaped. Because you are not the sky, you cannot reshape the true life, because this is the category of creating life!" When talking about this issue, Li Qiye's expression was rarely solemn. .
Ye Xiaoxiao listened carefully, and after hearing what Li Qiye said, she couldn't help but nodded silently.
In fact, it is indeed a bit early for Ye Xiaoxiao to come into contact with such a topic. After all, she is still young. More importantly, only the Immortal Emperor can generally come into contact with issues in this category, and only those at the level of the Immortal Emperor can think about it. and explore this issue.
"It's weird." Just when Ye Xiaoxiao was rarely listening so carefully, Li Qiye couldn't help but murmured as he looked at the tree corpses entering the valley in groups.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xiaoxiao came back to his senses and asked curiously.
"I'm afraid this is not a corpse nest." Li Qiye stared at the valley and said slowly.
"Why?" Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be curious, and said, "Isn't it said that tree corpses like to gather together? Now that there are so many tree corpses coming here from outside, I'm afraid this is their nest."
"No -" Li Qiye shook his head gently and said: "Tree corpses are different from tree people. They are the darlings of Shenshu Ridge. Even if they have no soul, they can take root in the earth. Trees. The corpses are very close to the Divine Tree Ridge, so the tree corpses stay in the corpse nest and can never come out unless someone attacks them. Otherwise, once the tree corpses form a nest, they can stay in the nest forever. Until death..."
"This is also one of the reasons why corpse nests are not easy to discover. Under normal circumstances, tree corpses will not leave their corpse nests unless their corpse nests are destroyed or are attacked by powerful attacks. Now there are It's really strange that so many tree corpses have come to this valley." At this point, he couldn't help but ponder. (To be continued.)
