"Haha... don't cry... you, you are the king of the little butterflies, and you still cry... and you, the little green vine..." Shu Lao said with a smile.
"From now on, the forest... will be handed over to you... protect everyone..."
The phantom of Shu Lao raised his hand as if he wanted to touch it, but seemed to realize that he was just a phantom and could not be touched, so he silently took his hand back.
Butterfly Emperor and Ghost Vine were both the first creatures to possess powers and then become wise after the end of the world. They had great potential, so they grew rapidly with the help of Shu Lao.
In fact, before the apocalypse began, the Butterfly Emperor was still a little caterpillar, the Ghost Vine was just a bud, and the banyan tree had already known them.
It has lived for too long, and the forest is almost full of its descendants. It has watched their growth, watched the changes in the forest, and also watched the changes in the world.
The world needs new blood, and the future belongs to the children.
Shu Lao thought very thoroughly.
After hearing Shu Lao's words, Spirit Butterfly flew around the vines anxiously, and also flew around Shu Lao at the same time.
Daju told Yunyou that Gui Teng was actually just as anxious and kept talking in surprise. If it weren't for being suppressed and unable to move, Gui Teng would probably be jumping around.
Shulao looked at the two juniors kindly. This time, he didn't say anything. He just looked at them quietly, smiling without saying a word, but his eyes still showed pride and affirmation for them.
"The time... is almost up. I was delayed for a few more minutes." Shu Lao smiled, but Butterfly Emperor and Gui Teng couldn't laugh.
The Butterfly Emperor stopped next to the ghost vine, its wings looking drooped, and it looked very disappointed.
"Envoy Yunyou..."
Shu Lao looked at Yun You. There was no need to say anything more. All the words Shu Lao wanted to say were hidden in his shadowy eyes.
"Okay." Yun You replied.
At this time, there was noise again all around. It seemed that there were many voices, and there must be more than one.
"Choo Choo Choo."
Some familiar sounds sounded, followed by the sound of many wings flapping.
Yunyou turned around and saw the familiar white figure of Xiao Feijiu flying back with the large group of birds from before.
When they saw the phantom of the old man, they all had the same reaction as the Butterfly Emperor before. After stopping, all their birds seemed to explode, flying and jumping among the branches of the banyan forest.
Not only that, all other creatures also appeared in the center of this banyan forest.
Green snakes are twining around the branches of the banyan tree. Rabbits are jumping around. Squirrels are holding pine cones on the branches. Elks raise their heads and run towards the place with their hooves. There are also many spiritual butterflies flying outside. in……
Their reactions to seeing Shu Lao were almost the same, with no difference.
It suddenly became lively.
All the creatures that had been driven away before came back.
Not only Yun You and Da Ju were a little surprised, but even Shu Lao himself was a little stunned. According to his original idea, these little guys should be sent away. This is what he had said to Emperor Butterfly and Ghost Teng before.
The Butterfly King, who was still a little disappointed before, was flying in the air. Although it now does not have the strength of level six superpowers, it still had the same prestige. All the creatures around it were quiet, and some were even trembling.
Daju told Yunyou that both Butterfly Emperor and Guiteng sounded a little angry now, asking why those little guys came back?
The surrounding area became quiet, but soon there was a small rebuttal, and then under the attention of Butterfly Emperor and Oni Teng, the voices became quieter and quieter.
Yun You asked Da Ju what would they say again?
Daju told her.
Those little guys say they want to live and die together with the forest. They want to live with the forest until the last moment. They are also part of the forest and have the obligation to protect the forest.
Butterfly Emperor and Ghost Teng scolded them for coming back to die.
Then there was endless silence.
In fact, they all know in their hearts that they are sending themselves to death, and they also know that Butterfly Emperor and Ghost Teng are also sending themselves to death if they stay here. After all, in their cognition, Shu Lao is so powerful that he cannot hold on.
But even so, they don't want to leave in their hearts.
They allowed themselves to be scolded by Butterfly Emperor and Ghost Teng, and none of them backed down.
[Meow, Xiaoyou, do you think they are right or wrong to do this? ] Da Ju lay next to Han Qichuan who was lying down, and asked Yun You doubtfully.
Not wanting to suddenly break this quiet scene, Daju chose to ask questions in his heart.
[I don't know either. ] Yunyou answered Daju.
[Meow, Xiaoyou doesn’t know either. Meow, that's really a complicated question. ]
Big Orange's paw scratched its own furry head.
Yun You looked at it and smiled.
Perhaps from the perspective of the Butterfly King, they were wrong, but from the perspective of the small animals, they did not do anything wrong.
There are many things in the world and there is no right or wrong. It is just a matter of opinion.
Yun You looked at the animals around him that were being reprimanded by the Butterfly Emperor. They all had simple thoughts and were kind of cute.
Yun You knew that nothing would happen to them on this timeline.
However, she suddenly remembered that this plane had been restarted. She didn’t know whether they were all driven away by the Butterfly Emperor in the previous timeline, or some of them were driven away by the Butterfly Emperor and Ghost Teng.
Or... the entire army was wiped out?
Yun You had not used a storybook to inquire about the internal affairs of the white mist before. Perhaps even if she had inquired, she could only see the blunt words and no pictures.
So she doesn't know now.
The place where she is now, in the previous timeline...
The white skeletons in the dead wood forest are radially distributed with the towering dead tree in the middle as the center, as if they are protecting something.
Dead vines hung between the dead branches, and everything looked very bleak and desolate.
On top of the towering dead trees, a pair of golden butterfly wings became the only color between the sky and the earth.
…
"Okay... don't scold them." Shulao smiled and shook his head, "It'll be okay... Just come back when you come back... Little butterflies, take care of them from now on..."
All the little animals looked at Shu Lao's shadow with great affection. After all, Shu Lao was like their family.
Xiao Feijiu suddenly flew forward and happily circled around Shu Lao's shadow.
Both Daju and Yunyou could recognize that this was the little fat chirp they met in the first place.
"Eh?...You're okay too." Shulao, who recognized Xiao Feijiu, smiled kindly.
"Yeah...haha, how could I forget...the messenger is here, nothing will happen to the forest... nothing will happen to you either."
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp."
"I'm also happy to see you again...the little guy who represents the luck of the forest."
"But... it's time to say goodbye." Shu Lao looked at the creatures around him and sighed, then he looked at Yun You, "Messenger Yun You... I'm sorry for delaying you for so long."
"It's okay." Yun You shook his head, "There are still a few minutes, you can talk to them more."
Shu Lao looked at the bewildered little animals around him and smiled: "I know they will be fine in the future, so I have no regrets."
Yun You was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
