Romance is broken again

Not unexpectedly, the one who entered the cave was the treant who left suddenly two days ago.

The treant jumped down from the passage in mid-air, and landed neatly and lightly on the ground. As the treant approached slowly, a hint of surprise appeared on Xu Cong's face.

I don't know if it's his illusion, it seems that the tree man in front of him has changed a little, his expression seems to be more serious, his mood has changed little before, but now it almost gives people a feeling, as if they were suddenly deprived of all emotions .

And when the tree man moved to Xu Congyi's eyes with vines, he found that in just a few days, the tree man had grown a lot taller. Before, he was only a few centimeters shorter than him, but now he suddenly grew so tall that he had to be slightly taller. Raise your head to see each other's eyes.

The tree man saw Xu Congyi's bright eyes staring at it without blinking from just now until now. He looked at the ground next to him and saw that the fruits in the huge leaves had all turned into stones. .

As for Xu Congyi, his complexion didn't look as good as when he first saw him. The tree man stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Congyi to his face.

As soon as Xu Cong was grabbed by his arm suddenly, his conditioned reflex wanted to struggle. Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound in his stomach. He had been eating fruit for several days and had never eaten meat. He never thought of going on a hunger strike to protest. There is no way to communicate with the tree people, and if the body is really broken, then, if there is a chance to escape again, I am afraid that they will not be able to run.

With something in mind, Xu Congyi let the tree man grab him.

A vine rose up under the tree man. Xu Cong turned his eyes and saw a small animal covered in gray hair curled up on the top of the vine. The animal's head and limbs were all hanging down weakly. Obviously, it was dead.

The tree man went over with both hands, and with a click, immediately separated the animal's head and neck. It held up the animal's body that was still bleeding from the neck, and handed it to Xu Congyi's mouth, meaning to let Xu Congyi drink the blood.

Xu Cong lowered his eyes, looked at the scarlet blood, and was hungry. He smelled the strong and pungent smell of blood, and his stomach churned.

The tree man held the animal persistently, as if Xu Congyi didn't pick it up, and it didn't put it down. Xu Congyi licked his lips with his tongue. He would definitely not drink raw blood, but the problem of hunger must be resolved as soon as possible.

After taking the headless animal carcass, Xu Cong reached the water's edge as soon as he turned his head. He squatted down and subconsciously fumbled in his pocket, but found nothing.

Xu Cong turned his head to look at the tree man standing aside, and said, "Can you return the knife to me?"

After the words came out, before the tree man could answer, he himself suddenly smiled.I always have to forget that the tree man is not a human being, so I can't understand his words.

The tree man looked at the corners of Xu Congyi's lips, and his body was one step ahead of his consciousness. When it realized what it was doing, it had already swam up to Xu Congyi's eyes, and even stopped on Xu Congyi's face.

One person and one tree, one squatting, one standing, the squatting eyes suddenly widened, and the standing one had only that one person in his pupils, at that moment, it seemed that there was only one person in its entire world.Xu Congyi felt uncomfortable being stared at by the tree man's fiery eyes, and he took a step back.

As a result, he stepped on the air, and with a bang, water splashed in all directions, and Xu Congyi fell directly into the water.Although the water was not deep, it was enough to wet Xu Congyi's whole body, not only his clothes, but also his hair. This will be tightly attached to the body because of being wet.

The waist was tucked up so that one hand could be wrapped around it, and the trousers were stuck to the legs, and the whole body was completely soaked.

The animal in his hand fell into the water while falling, and it would float on the water surface, the blood was still flowing, and after a while, the clear water nearby was dyed blood red.Xu Congyi fished the gray-haired animal back with one hand. He climbed up to the bank and put down the dead animal. His clothes were all wet. Dressing like this would not be good for his health. He lowered his eyes and began to unbutton his clothes.There was a sharp gaze behind him, and Xu Congyi's movements froze for a moment. He froze his body and turned his head halfway.

Xu Congyi hesitated for a while, then quickly unbuttoned the shirt, took off the shirt, wrung out the water from the clothes, and spread them on the shore of the water.

As for the pants under his body, he didn't take them off for the time being, but there was a voice in his head telling him not to completely expose his body in front of Shuren.

Just wearing wet pants, Xu Congyi squatted back to the small animal, picked up the animal, and didn't have a skinning tool in his hand. He didn't know where to start first.

The tree man stood silently. After Xu Cong stared at the animal for a while, it quickly moved over. The vines rolled up the animal's carcass, and then peeled off the animal's fur and returned it to Xu Cong. A bloody piece of meat.

I took the meat and went to the lake to clean it. There was a corner of the cave where there were weeds and some tree branches. Xu Cong took the meat and went there. I had carefully observed the things here before and found that there were flint and steel. .

Finding two small flint and steel, Xu Congyi half-kneeled on the ground, bowed his head, and started to light a fire.

But it is one thing to know, and another thing to practice. After all, it is the first time to use flint and steel. After working for a long time, just a little spark, Xu Congyi's forehead gradually broke out with thin sweat.

The tree man just watched silently, originally he had no intention of going forward to help, but Xu Cong frowned almost together, looking very anxious, the tree man could not continue to remain indifferent, it rushed over quickly, without any help. After discussing with Xu Cong, he took the flint, and with a click, a cluster of small flames burst out, and quickly ignited the pile of firewood. The flame flickered, reflecting Xu Congyi's slightly flushed face. He glanced at the tree man gratefully, and thanked him in a low voice.

The tree man held the flint and steel behind his back, and the palm of his hand was faintly red.

There are no other condiments, but fortunately, the animals are all natural, and after roasting, the taste is good except for the lack of saltiness.

As soon as Xu Cong took the barbecue that was still hot, he opened his mouth and took a bite, and the tip of his tongue was burned immediately. He refused to swallow the meat whole, and quickly stuck out his tongue, fanning it with his hands.

Unavoidable to be scalded again, Xu Cong waited until the temperature of the meat was low, then picked it up to eat, took a bite, subconsciously glanced at him from the corner of the eye, and met the eyes of the tree man looking at him, Xu Cong made a movement, he Slowly lowering his eyes to look at the roasted meat in his hand, he broke off a fat leg, then got up and handed it to the tree man.

"Eat?"

The tree man stared at the meat that Xu Congyi handed over, whose appearance changed from red to slightly burnt, and hesitated for a while. When Xu Congyi thought it would not want it and was about to take it back, he quickly took it in his hand.

Xu Congyi's eyes were bright, and the tree man was watched by his bright eyes. He opened his mouth and took a bite of the barbecue. There was a strange smell in his mouth, and the tree man frowned slightly, but it immediately restrained his emotions. Did not find that it does not like to eat this barbecue.

The meat was still warm, and when it touched the burning wound in the palm of an acquaintance, the pain spread rapidly. Seeing that Xu Cong turned around and continued to eat meat, the tree man threw the meat on his body, and the vines rushed to the front Wrapped around the scorched piece of meat, within a few seconds, it was wrapped into a pile of minced meat, and then secretly thrown into the flowing lake.

At night, the tree man held Xu Congyi in his arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Although the posture was changed, it was not like that night. He straddled the tree man, but lying on his side like this, with his waist tightly bound, it seemed very difficult for Xu Cong to even move.

He supported the tree man's chest with both hands, as if he was lying on a hard rock.It seems that the tree man's body was not so hard before. After two days out, his body became hard. The muscles on the arms were quite obvious. Climbing up, the shirt was blown half dry by the wind, so Xu Congyi put it on. In the middle of the night, Xu Congyi's body was unexpectedly cold, and his stomach was throbbing. He gritted his teeth, not wanting to disturb the tree man. I can get through it myself.

However, as time progressed slowly, the pain in the abdomen became more and more severe, and the body trembled non-stop because of the cold.No matter how hard he tried to restrain himself, there was still a low moan coming out.

In the cave, the green crystal inlaid on the wall on the right exudes faint light, and the place is dark. The tree man was awakened by the movement in his arms. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xu Congyi's body curled up into a ball, biting his lips tightly. , The sweat on the forehead dropped one after another.

It panicked all of a sudden, and the vines also woke up. The treant lost control of his emotions, causing the vines to no longer be under control, and climbed straight to Xu Congyi's body. In an instant, half of Xu Cong's body was about to sink in the vines.

The tree man grabbed a vine with one hand, and after breaking it violently, the other vines realized that the tree man was angry, and they all receded like a tide. It's comfortable, but it'll be fine the next day.

The human body in his arms is quite fragile, and the bones can be crushed with a light pinch. It basically controls its strength, and it is afraid that if it is too hard, it will hurt him.

But now he was trembling all the time, and there was a suppressed sound from his mouth that made his heart tighten and ache.

The tree man quickly took out the knife he got from Xu Congyi. It was very sharp and had stabbed his vines. The tree man cut his palm with the sharp blade, and the bright red liquid surged instantly.

It lifted Xu Congyi up carefully, and put his palm on his mouth.Blood trickled down Xu Cong's pointed and thin chin to his neck. He bit his lips tightly, half-closed his eyes, smelled the smell of blood, and turned his face away.

The blood lay there all the time, but Xu Congyi didn't drink it. The tree man reached out to open Xu Congyi's mouth, but his jaw was red from pinching, and he still didn't open his mouth.

The tree man looked at Xu Congyi quietly for a while, then lowered his head and moved his severed hand to his mouth, sucked a mouthful of blood, then clasped Xu Congyi's neck with one hand from behind, while pinching his jaw, and directly Kissed.

It pushed against Xu Congyi's teeth with the tip of its tongue, and fed the blood in its mouth to Xu Congyi.

As soon as the blood flowed into his mouth, Xu Congyi felt uncomfortable. He waved his arm in the air, and finally touched the tree man's shoulder, and grabbed it tightly. I want to spit out the smelly blood.

It's just that the tree man's mouth was blocked outside, Xu Congyi was forced to swallow a mouthful of blood, and there was a smell of rust in his throat, he struggled in pain, but was easily restrained by the tree man, his head was burned into a daze, Forget where you are now and who is in front of you.

Clenching his upper and lower teeth together, he bit the tree man's tongue that was sticking out of his mouth.

The tree man's eyes flickered violently, the tip of his tongue burst, and blood spilled out. Xu Cong shook his head from side to side, but couldn't avoid the tree man, so he passively swallowed the blood of the tree man.

The night was not long, and Xu Congyi, who had sucked a lot of blood from the Treeman, woke up very early the next day.

His head still felt a little heavy, but his body was no longer cold. He only had a vague impression of what happened at night. He vaguely remembered that someone was feeding something into his mouth, and he was feeding with his mouth.

As soon as Xu Cong raised his hand to touch his lips, it seemed that there was still that feeling on it, which was not a good feeling.

Quickly taking off his hands, Xu Congyi sat up slowly, and a gust of wind blew in, making him shiver unconsciously, and it was only then that he realized that he was completely naked.

He searched for clothes at the first time, and saw the clothes laying flat on the bank of the water. He lifted the weeds covering his body, walked over naked, bent down to pick up the clothes, his tentacles were wet and greasy, it was not dry yesterday Xu Congyi had a lingering fear when he had a fever at night, and he didn't want to do it again.

The pain in the abdomen has decreased a lot, and he guessed that most of the abdominal pain was caused by eating half-baked meat.

The tree man was not in the cave, and he didn't know when he went out. Xu Cong turned around and retreated to the side of the haystack, sitting with his legs bent, his hands wrapped around his legs, and his chin resting on his knees.

This is the fifth day, and all he saw was the tree man, no one spoke, and no one chatted. In fact, this was the second thing. He was more concerned about whether Wu Ya would come to him.

But even if it really came, the mountains and forests are so big, and in all likelihood, they would never find this place.

It is definitely not feasible to stay here all the time.

Treants, what are you afraid of?Xu Cong stared at his curled toes.

"Fire." The system made a faint sound.

Xu Cong shifted his gaze to the two flints in front of him.

"There is too little dry firewood, and there is a lake here." At least it is not feasible here, Xu Congyi thought for a while, and said, "It is best to have flammable liquids such as oil."

"It's quite a coincidence. The giant tree you went to that day, there was such a place where you passed. There was a kind of liquid there, and the power of burning was more powerful than oil."

"...Wait, you didn't stop me?" Xu Congyi temporarily interrupted the system.He expressed that it was strange, did the system really think that he would light a fire and burn the tree man to death.

Burn to death the raider target of this Tanmei line?

The system froze for a moment, as if deliberately defending itself.

"I, I know you definitely won't, so just ask casually, don't you?"

Xu Congyi smiled inexplicably: "Yes, of course."

"It's coming back."

"Ah."

System: "It seems that its adulthood is coming earlier, please pay attention."

"Not a month or two?"

System: "No, probably within a few days."

"That is to say..." Xu Cong raised his head and looked at the sparkling lake.

The system naturally knows his potential words: "Yes."

"His lower body is covered with vines, what should we do?"

The system didn't know, it wasn't mentioned in the plot, and the law was even more silent about it.

"Okay, we'll know sooner or later." Xu Cong's eyes were filled with anticipation.

The tree man returned to the cave at ten o'clock at noon. It quickly jumped down the passage, glanced into the cave, and saw Xu Congyi curled up into a ball.

The tree man swam over, and a few vines rose up, and many familiar things appeared on it, including clothes, biscuits and the like.

As soon as Xu Cong looked at these things, he was about to stand up, his body was empty and naked, a sense of shame filled his heart, and he squatted back immediately.

The vine wrapped in clothes stretched out in front of Xu Congyi, and Xu Congyi took it off with a wave of his hand.

There are clothes and pants, Xu Congyi quickly put them on, stood up and looked at the clothes carefully, it was half a size too small, the ankles were exposed, but the clothes barely fit.Quite familiar, Xu Congyi thought about it, and immediately realized that the clothes belonged to his twin brother Li Yin.

In this way, the tree man met Li Yin.

"This clothes..." As soon as Xu Cong was about to ask the tree man where he got the clothes, the tree man jumped over, picked him up, turned around and walked into the passageway halfway up the wall.

After crossing the waterfall, their clothes got a little wet, and they left the cave.

The sky was bright outside, the morning wind was blowing, and the leaves were rustling.

After stopping for a few seconds, the treant quickly shuttled through the dense forest with Xu Congyi in his arms.

The surrounding environment was vaguely familiar, and after a short meeting, I came under a towering giant tree.

Xu recalled that this was the first time he saw the tree man.

The tree man put Xu Congyi down, and four light brown vines swam out soundlessly from the hillside ahead.They first swam to the tree man, gently stroked the face of the acquaintance, like an elder, then turned around and swam to Xu Congyi.

The four vines stopped in front of Xu Congyi, as if being stared at by something, Xu Congyi took half a step back, but the vines remained motionless.

The tree man looked at the vines and Xu Congyi, and said something inexplicable. The vines shook, and then retreated a little bit, retreating into the grass.

The tree man pulled Xu Congyi's arm, and his hand became hot unexpectedly, as if it had been burned by fire, and Xu Congyi shivered.

The tree man grabbed Xu Congyi and walked into the forest on the right. Xu Congyi turned his eyes and observed the tree man secretly. It was at this sight that Xu Congyi's pupils suddenly dilated.

On the exposed back, dark brown lines began to appear, and these lines were almost exactly the same as the vines below the treant.

It seemed that something unknown and terrible was about to happen, Xu Congyi's heart was beating uncontrollably.

They kept walking in the dense forest where there were no creatures. It seemed that the road had no end. After walking for some time, one or two of Xu Cong's feet gradually became numb, and finally stopped.

At this stop, a huge shadow covered the head, and the dense branches and leaves between the heads covered the sky and the sun.Even, almost no light can be seen leaking from the top.

The giant tree that appeared in front of him was the largest tree that Xu Congyi had ever seen so far. The diameter of the trunk alone was four to five meters, and the height was because he was standing at the bottom of the tree and could not see the crown of the tree. , but only with the naked eye, it can be concluded that the height must be more than 20 meters.

If such a large tree were in the place where he lived, it would definitely cause a sensation.

Shocked by the giant tree, Xu Cong devoted most of his attention to observing the trunk, and when he heard some unusual sounds in his ears, he came back to his senses, and then wondered why the tree man brought him here.

The tree man was standing on Xu Congyi's right hand, with a calm expression. The vines under it suddenly began to move, and the vines slowly grew longer at a speed visible to the naked eye. Something is about to break through the ground.

Where Xu Congyi was standing, the ground was also shaking. He hurriedly took a step back. He took two steps back and hit something with his heel. He immediately looked back and saw that the two roots were much darker than the ones under the roots. The vine did not know when it swam behind him.

As if knowing that Xu Congyi was looking at them, the vines swayed from side to side, then paused, and then jumped up. Xu Congyi was completely unprepared, and the vines wrapped around his wrist.Not only that, several vines quickly sprang out from the ground in front of him, some around Xu Cong's neck, some around Xu Cong's waist, and two tightly wrapped around his feet.

In a few seconds, the body was almost bound tightly, unable to move at all. Xu Congyi immediately turned his head and cast a look of help to the tree man. The tree man saw the vines entangled Xu Congyi's body. Hands and feet, but he just looked at it like that, and had no intention of going forward.

The vines began to move, leading Xu Congyi to the direction of the giant tree, dragging his body passively on the ground, but it didn't last long, the vines rose upwards, and as a result, Xu Cong left the ground with one or two feet and was pulled by the vines into the air.

Suddenly, his back bumped into a solid object. Xu Congyi knew what it was. He was entangled by vines on the trunk of the giant tree. Standing directly below the tree man, he raised his head and looked up at Xu Congyi who was bound by vines. Here is The holy place for tree people, every tree person's coming-of-age ceremony must be completed here.

At the same time as adults, it also means that their bodies are mature, and the combination with their partners can make them grow up more smoothly.

The Treeman originally thought that adulthood would take at least a while, but unexpectedly, adulthood came so suddenly, it was not ready yet, it had no experience, its mother left early, and no one came to teach it. It, it cannot determine exactly what to do.

So the holy tree tied Xu Congyi, and it would teach him how to combine with his partner.

The vines that bound Xu Congyi were quiet. Two other vines approached Xu Congyi up and down. The lower one touched Xu Congyi's feet first. The upper one touched Xu Cong's neck, turned down, and moved silently towards the neckline of Xu Cong's clothes.
