After the huge stone ball was blocked by the willow branch, it did not continue to chase Yuan Hao. Instead, it returned to Yuan Hao's building and rolled around until the first villa built for Yuan Hao was flattened. Maybe it felt like it was still there. Not enough, he bounced up and bounced around a few times to make sure there was no trace of the building left before continuing to roll toward Yuan Hao.
"Lao Liu, what kind of monster is this?"
"This, I'm afraid, is not a stone spirit. The earth element in his body is stronger than the wood element in Lao Liu and I. This stone spirit has an inexhaustible source of power as long as it touches the ground. This situation is probably not possible. Easy to handle."
While talking, Lao Liu's hand did not stop, and rows of willow trees broke out of the ground to block the path of the stone ball. Seeing this scene, Yuan Hao couldn't care less. He couldn't just sit back and watch. Maybe the bright future of the human race would be lost here before he could see it.
"Old Liu, this is the Immortal Spirit Dew. You can use it just in case. You can use this Xuantian Good Fortune Willow. I have an immortal technique, the Wood Spirit Growth Technique. Let's go all out."
"Don't worry, Patriarch, it's no big deal to stop this earth spirit." After receiving the Fairy Spirit Dew given by Yuan Hao, a thick willow branch immediately took the Xuantian Creation Willow from Yuan Hao's hand. He swung hard in the direction where the earth spirit was coming, and actually hit a piece of gravel. Seeing this, the confidence of each person and tree increased greatly.
Yuan Hao activated the Wood Spirit Growth Technique and threw a bundle of willow branches from his waist to insert it on the path of the Earth Spirit. In the blink of an eye, the branches turned into strong and soft willows and entangled the stone ball.
Before he could take a breath, the stone ball seemed to be stimulated, and it burst into pieces with a thump, shaking off rubble all over the ground. Then a stone man with all four limbs appeared in front of him. The stone man seemed to take a look at Yuan Hao, and his arms trembled. Then a palm appeared, and with five fingers together, he pulled up all the willow branches in front of him. He excitedly waved the wicker and slapped it on the ground, but the crackling sound disappeared and he continued to attack.
One person and one tree were still building defenses. The stone man's bare head twisted a few times, and a few pieces of corpse fell off. The facial features on his face looked somewhat similar to Yuan Hao's. The eyes, nose, ears, and mouth are still opening and closing all over the face, as if they are chasing each other.
Yuan Hao was stunned by this sight, "What is Lao Liu, the stone spirit, doing?"
"Lao Liu is a wood spirit, and he is a soil spirit. I can't understand this either!" Lao Liu also guessed, but his hands didn't stop moving, and willow trees appeared on the path of the stone man.
"Is this goblin here to make us happy?" Yuan Hao picked up a willow branch in his hand and shot it towards the stone man with his spiritual power under the catalysis of the Wood Spirit Growth Technique.
Yuan Hao is agile and shuttles around the battlefield like a cheetah. His eyes are like sharp swords, looking for the stone giant's flaws again and again. Under his guidance, the willow branches penetrated the giant's skin and penetrated into the enemy formation like a warrior, showing an unyielding fighting spirit.
The willow branch quickly took root and sprouted in the stone man's body, and in the blink of an eye, it was born on the stone man's body. This willow tree continues to take root in the giant's body, absorbing its power.
Now the stone man has no time to imitate Yuan Hao's form, but anxiously pulls out the willow branches on his body, but the willow trees have already grown on his body.
This magical skill shocked Lao Liu, "Chief, how did you think of it? Didn't you just learn this magical skill?"
"This Lao Liu, this is how powerful the human race is. Practice hard and try to transform as soon as possible." Yuan Hao was able to breathe a sigh of relief and chat with Lao Liu in such a tense environment, because he was already roughly sure in his heart. This stone man didn't mean any harm, he might have disturbed his rest.
The stone giant's body finally showed signs of fatigue under the restraints of the wicker. Its face began to change, and its facial features seemed to be looking for their own place. The facial features began to wander around the face, and finally it strangely formed a face that was almost similar to Yuan Hao. This scene relaxed the tense atmosphere on the battlefield, and Yuan Hao couldn't help but be stunned. The earth element giant was actually imitating his appearance, and it seemed that he was trying to communicate with him.
Yuan Hao stared at the stone giant in front of him and tried to communicate with him using the charm of Tongyu: "Can you understand what I'm saying? If so, give me a reaction."
The stone giant looked at Yuan Hao, its eyes flickering, as if it was trying to understand Yuan Hao's words. However, it didn't make a sound, it just imitated Yuan Hao's movements slightly clumsily, opening and closing its mouth.
"If you don't know how to speak, just shake your head, like this." Yuan Hao demonstrated patiently, and the stone giant repeated the shaking of his head with a vague understanding. Although the movement was stiff, it was still the beginning of a kind of communication.
"If you want to communicate with me, just nod." Yuan Hao continued to guide.
The stone giant began to nod frequently, and its movements became more and more violent, as if it was expressing its wishes forcefully.
"Okay, stop." Yuan Hao said quickly, worried that this friend who had just learned how to express himself would be too excited.
Seeing that the stone giant finally stopped the violent movement of its head, Yuan Hao let out a breath of relief. He understood that although this stone giant had just activated his mind, he was willing to learn and communicate. This was a good start.
"Old Liu, give me the Xuantian Creation Willow, and then you tie me up and walk over there. If anything happens, pull me back as soon as possible!" Yuan Hao decided to take the risk.
Yuan Hao clenched the Xuantian Good Fortune Willow in his hand, and was tied with a safety rope provided by Lao Liu, which was an extra layer of protection. He cautiously issued an invitation to the stone man in front of him: "Hey, stone brother over there, I want to go over and communicate with you. Can you promise not to attack me? If you agree not to destroy things, not to hurt Man, I'll go over and we can have a nice chat. Nod if you agree."
His voice is mixed with the power of Tongyu charm, gentle and firm. In his perception, he began to have a subtle connection with the stone man through his wood spirit growth technique, and he could feel the other person's confusion and curiosity.
The stone monster stopped its movements, and its huge body cast a shadow in the sunlight. The eyes that seemed to have just learned to express emotions were staring at Yuan Hao, as if evaluating his words. It nodded slowly. Although the movement was awkward, it was full of sincerity.
Seeing this, Yuan Hao breathed a sigh of relief and slowly relaxed his hand on Xuantian's fortune willow. He took steps carefully, taking each step very gently so as not to disturb his new friend. His heartbeat accelerated at this moment, but his expression was calm, ready to start this novel conversation for both parties.
Yuan Hao pressed lightly on the stone man's cold legs, and a bridge was immediately built between his souls. He felt a childish desire to learn: "I want to learn to speak, like you."
"Why did you destroy my house?" Yuan Hao pointed directly to the ruins.
The stone man's simple response came: "The power is mine, the earth is mine, you woke me up!" Although the expression was not complete, Yuan Hao still understood its meaning. This stone man is the guardian of the land. It regards this land as its own territory, and his construction activities disturb its sleep.
"My name is Yuan Hao, do you have a name?" Yuan Hao asked.
"Name? No."
"Then I'll call you Little Shitou. How about that?" Yuan Hao suggested with a smile.
"Little Stone...Okay, that's it." The Stone Man seemed to like this name very much.
"We can be friends. I'll teach you how to speak. Do you want to give me something in exchange?" Yuan Hao asked tentatively.
The stone man was silent for a while, and finally took out a stone that shone with seven colors from his body and handed it to Yuan Hao.
Lao Liu's voice came urgently through the wicker connecting them: "Chief, this is a big treasure! This is the core of the earth spirit, the source of life for the stone man. Getting it is equivalent to controlling its life!"
Yuan Hao originally wanted to refuse to accept Xiao Shitou's spiritual core. After all, it meant life to Xiao Shitou, and he just taught him an immortal technique. But seeing Lao Liu's eager eyes, and thinking about his own people, these newborn humans were so weak, he knew in his heart that eliminating the danger of small stones might mean more security and development for the human race.
He was silent for a moment and decided to teach Xiao Shitou the charm of Tongyu first.
