Chapter 206: Finger Clan
Chapter 206: Finger Clan
Feng Huan looked around vigilantly and said softly, "Everyone be careful, there may be something strange about these skeletons." Ziyun nodded and clenched the whip in his hand.
Su Junliu swallowed his saliva, "So many strange skeletons gathered here, they won't become a skeleton army, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm his words, a gust of cold wind swept over and blew the skeletons on the ground. At first glance, it really seemed that these skeletons were about to stand up.
"Can you please stop talking, you jinx?" Ziyun was a girl after all, and was frightened by the situation. She leaned towards Feng Huan unconsciously and couldn't help but say something back.
"Hey! I don't know how many years have passed, but someone finally came in. It's a pity... it's a pity that all my people are gone... all gone..."
At this moment, suddenly an old and desolate voice sounded in the ears of the three people, but they found that the voice came from the rest area.
"Who are you? You are playing tricks here. I am not afraid of you. If you have the guts, come out and I will fight you in a duel." Su Junliu plucked up his courage and shouted to the void around him, just to show his manliness in front of Ziyun.
"Haha, little guys, you are human, but I am not a human." The voice continued sinisterly.
"Are you really a ghost? But are there ghosts in this world? It's just a legend! Don't scare me, your grandpa." Su Junliu continued the conversation.
Feng Huan took advantage of the conversation between the two of them to open his Hexu Star Pupil and use his spiritual sense to search around, hoping to discover something.
"I am indeed not a human, but I am not a ghost either. I am the 766th generation of the Ten Fingers Clan, and I should be the last generation of the clan leader. But now I am not much different from a wandering ghost."
"The Ten-Finger Clan! They really live up to their name."
"You don't plan to show up. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, maybe we can help you fulfill them!" Su Junliu seemed to be familiar with this routine, "But you should also give us some benefits."
Feng Huan and Zi Yun wanted to laugh when they heard this. They had never seen anyone so straightforward.
"Unfulfilled wishes? Not really. You can't revive my people or raise new ones for me. I thought I could avoid the catastrophe by hiding here, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape the fate of destruction." The chief's voice sounded very lonely.
"Senior, what is this catastrophe you are talking about? Can you tell us about it?" Feng Huan didn't want to waste time and asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time.
"What a catastrophe! We don't know how and why it happened. We only know that one day the star suddenly collapsed and no one could stop it. Some of my people were torn apart on the spot, and some were swallowed by the dark void. The rest hid here, thinking they could escape. Who knew that what followed was endless darkness and collisions, and there was no energy left for cultivation."
Feng Huan was shocked. This sounded like an extremely horrific disaster. No wonder those people called it the Great Destruction Period.
"What happened next?" Feng Huan asked.
"Later, the vitality of my tribe members disappeared little by little, and I could only watch them die until I was the only one left to survive." The tribe leader's voice was full of sorrow. "Because they had no energy, they didn't hold on for long. Now I can only rely on my soul body to survive. All this time, I have been staying asleep to reduce the loss of energy, but after billions of years of consumption, I am almost at the end of my life."
"I was forced to wake up this time, and I don't know what happened outside. In fact, the reason why I want to survive like this is that I want to know the answer. Why does such a perfect planet like ours fall apart?" His voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.
"But as far as I know, there are no records of that catastrophe in today's era. It may be too long ago, or it may be because all the species at that time were basically the same as you, some died and some were buried, so there are no traces left." Su Junliu is a genius of Longxing Continent, and his knowledge is obviously broader than Feng Huan.
"He said there is no record, so I guess there is no record at least on the surface. If we want to know the truth, we still have to dig. There are still five array eyes in Fengmo Island that have not been broken. Maybe we can find some scattered information there." Feng Huan was also thinking about it in his heart, and he also wanted to understand what the so-called great destruction was.
"Yes, I also know that the chances are slim, but I am really unwilling to accept it!" The Ten Fingers Clan leader sighed.
"It is fate that we meet. My clan will soon cease to exist, and our treasure will eventually be used by others. Well, it is buried here with my clan leader, which is a waste of its ability. But it may not be that easy for you to get it. You need its recognition. I am just giving you a chance."
"Really? What treasure?" Su Junliu's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"You'll know when you see it. Come with me!" The Ten Fingers Tribe leader was unwilling to say more, perhaps because he was depressed or had consumed too much energy.
A faint green light in front of the three people guided their direction, and they walked past the skeletons all over the ground and into the depths of the secret room.
"Brother Feng, that guy wouldn't be trying to trick us! We've been walking for such a long time and haven't seen any treasure." After walking for a while, Gong Junliu became a little impatient and asked Feng Huan secretly.
"Let's walk and see! Now that we're here, there's no other way out. But we do need to be vigilant and be prepared for contingencies." After saying that, he tightened his left hand over Ziyun's hand, and the Qiu Shui Sword appeared in his right hand.
Finally, the sky cleared and the flowers blossomed, as if I had walked out of a thousand-year-old cave and arrived at a paradise. The sky was clear and the air was bright, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful, which was completely different from the dilapidated place before.
"It turns out there's a different world here!" Su Junliu felt a little relieved when he saw the scenery in front of him.
In the center, a tall and thick towering tree attracted the attention of the three people. The tree was about twenty feet tall and as thick as dozens of people standing together. It had lush branches and leaves, and many tough vines were entwined around the trunk.
Suddenly, an illusory figure appeared under the big tree. The flickering figure had white hair and beard, and his face was not very clear, but his pair of red eyes were particularly eye-catching.
"Old man, you finally show up. Where is your so-called treasure?" Su Junliu asked impatiently.
"It's not that I don't want to show up, but I simply can't leave here. I must rely on the vitality here to barely maintain my life. If I leave, I may be reduced to ashes at any time." The Ten Fingers tribe leader sighed and continued slowly, "The tree behind me has existed since the birth of my tribe, so we don't know how many years it has grown. After the catastrophe, it also began to decline. Although it still looks vibrant now, it is actually weak inside."
"There is another vine with the same roots and energy as this tree." The Ten Fingers Clan leader pointed to a dark green vine wrapped around the trunk of the tree. "Its name is Longevity Green. It feeds on pure wood elements and can also release powerful wood elemental power. Therefore, only those who have awakened the power of wood elements can control it."
After saying that, the Ten Fingers Clan leader swept his red eyes over Ziyun and Su Junliu.
"So it seems that you, Brother Feng, have no chance. Without you as a competitor, my chances are still great." Su Junliu said with some pride when he heard this.
"Even though you are a great beauty, I will not give in to you anymore." Then he said to Ziyun, "We can compete fairly."
"Okay, let's compete fairly!" Ziyun was not to be outdone.
"If you want to gain recognition from the Green of Immortality, you must first gain recognition from its companion beast. To be honest, in all our Ten Fingers tribe's long history, no one has been able to obtain this treasure." The Ten Fingers tribe leader added.
"There is also a companion beast? What is that?" Su Junliu was stunned for a moment, then said to Ziyun, "Ladies first, you should go and try first! Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
"I'll go first, don't you just want me to test the waters? And you say it so eloquently." Ziyun walked forward without hesitation, and a long whip appeared in her hand. She liked this immortal green at first sight, and if she could use it as a weapon, it would definitely greatly enhance her strength.
"Be careful. If it doesn't work, just forget it. Don't force it. Although the treasure is good, we won't force it, and don't hurt yourself." Feng Huan reminded from the side.
"Okay, I understand. I will be careful!" Ziyun nodded.
