Ye Qiong, who was stunned by the scene in front of him, had not yet reacted.
These towering trees are not empty, but wooden houses built by forest apes.
Ye Qiong just glanced briefly, there were probably more than fifty.
Divided into three or four floors, many forest apes can still be seen in the treehouse, sticking their heads out and looking at Ye Qiong curiously. It is estimated that they have not seen humans for a long time.
Under the large tree palace, in the center, are three relatively new-looking cabins. They are not very big and look like they are inhabited by people.
If Ye Qiong guessed correctly, Qingzhi and her grandfather probably lived in these three cabins.
Ye Qiong jumped down from the tree.
In this palace that seemed to be made of wood, Ye Qiong looked up at the treehouse and the forest ape above, and immediately felt a sense of oppression.
It's quite safe to live down here, protected by so many forest apes.
For ordinary high-level monsters, if they rush in by mistake, they will die.
Even if a guardian beast-level monster breaks in, with the strength of these ancient forest apes, they can deal with it.
After landing, before Ye Qiong could walk in, he saw an old man walking out of the cabin.
The old man looks very old, but he gives people a very strong spirit. Between his eyebrows, there is a calm aura of a strong man. Although he looks very old, his steps are still calm, and there is no trace of it at all. Bu came out just after a serious illness.
For the old man, the previous serious illness was a walk around the gate of hell. If Qing Zhi hadn't brought back the crystal powder of the bone crystal python in time, Ye Qiong would definitely not be able to see others at this moment.
I can only see the sad and resentful girl next to me.
Qing Zhi, who had just landed behind him, ran over happily.
"Here~ this is my grandpa." Qing Zhi saved the old man's arm, looked at Ye Qiong and said, then looked back at the old man, and then said: "Grandpa, he is the person I told you that day. If it weren't for him …”
The old man nodded, looked at Ye Qiong with grateful eyes, and said: "Come in and sit down, it's a bit simpler here. We have lived here for many years, and you are the first human to visit, so it's okay. Be prepared...just don’t dislike it.”
Ye Qiong immediately shook his head: "Grandpa, you're welcome..."
Following the old man to the cabin, Ye Qiong saw a very simple house with no furniture or other furnishings. There was only a wooden table in the middle, and some straw and cotton batting were spread in the corners. Even a bed.
On the wooden table, there are some food, mostly dried fruits.
After Ye Qiong sat down, he immediately expressed his intention to come.
The old man did not directly agree to Ye Qiong, nor did he reject Ye Qiong. Instead, he told Ye Qiong about the situation between himself and Qing Zhi.
The old man's real name was Qing Lie, but what Ye Qiong didn't expect was...
When he was young, Qing Lie was actually the tribal leader of a large clan with ten thousand people, and he was very powerful.
Unfortunately, fifteen years ago, the tribe encountered a beast tide, a beast tide composed of thousands of monsters led by a peak king level monster!
The entire tribe suffered a disaster. Qing Lie carried his own granddaughter, Qing Zhi, who was still an infant at the time, on his back, and then personally led the tribe's most powerful warriors to fight to the last moment.
until……
Only himself and Qing Zhi were left in the tribe.
Qing Lie's strength when he was young was somewhat similar to Ye Qiong's now. He was completely out of touch with the tribe. When he was only fifteen years old, he became the clan leader by virtue of his own strength.
Then, with the help of strength and strategy, the tribe that originally had only a thousand people, after decades of reproduction and development, reached more than 10,000 people, becoming a rare tribe of 10,000 people on Snow Star.
But just when the tribe was prospering and the future was bright, the beast tide led by King Peak swept over.
this!
This is the cruelty of Snow Star...
This is also the main reason why no civilization has been born in the millions of years since Snow Star entered the Ice Age.
The long and cold winter of eighteen months is already difficult to endure, but the beast tide has balanced the human population from tens of billions to less than 100 million today in millions of years.
If it continues, it is estimated that the demise of mankind is only a matter of time.
Seeing that all the clan members around him have been swallowed up by the tide of beasts.
If it were not for Qing Zhi, with Qing Lie's temperament, he would fight until he died. In order to avenge his tribe, Qing Lie would definitely not survive on his own.
But the infant Qing Zhi behind her is still alive...
Qing Zhi also became Qing Lie's only belief in survival, so Qing Lie single-handedly fought out from the beast tide!
Fifteen years ago, Qing Lie was already old, but he still had fighting strength. If this beast wave was at the peak of his youth, the fate of the final tribe might have been different.
The talents of his sons are not high, and there is no comparison with Qing Lie.
After breaking out of the siege, Qing Lie took his granddaughter and wandered into this dense forest.
After rescuing an injured forest ape, he established a very deep friendship with the forest ape over the past fifteen years.
The reason why Qing Zhi's skill and archery skills are so high is that Qing Lie has been training him since he was a child. Qing Zhi's talent is not comparable to that of his sons, but it has given Qing Lie a lot of surprises.
Unfortunately, their tribe no longer exists.
As a white-haired old soldier, Qing Lie doesn't have much time left before he himself is buried in the ground. Being able to retire in a place like this, with the forest protecting them, is a great success.
After he really left, he was a little worried about his granddaughter. Although there was a forest ape guarding her, she was left alone. Every time he thought of this, Qing Lie's heart ached.
However, the cruel Xuexing left him with nothing to do. Even if they wanted to join other tribes in the summer, they would not accept them. Qing Zhi could stay, but the tribe would definitely not want him as an old man. Guy's.
And Qing Zhi is even less likely to let his grandfather live alone, so Qing Lie, who knows this, can only place his hope in the forest ancient ape. After a hundred years, he can protect Qing Zhi, and after he dies, he will protect Qing Zhi. She joins a new tribe.
Qinglie himself didn't know how long this forest ape left over from ancient times had been in this dense forest.
Although the ancient forest ape is very intelligent, it cannot speak. Normally, it can only communicate with Qing Lie and the others through body movements and eyes.
This is a bit like the exchange between Ye Qiong and Kuang Baizhi. After a long time, a tacit understanding will naturally be formed.
Forest apes have a natural love for the jungle. If Ye Qiong wants to get wood out of the jungle, he still has to get their permission.
