C251 Forgotten Forest
Moo Shan shook his head and smiled. "Lord, you don't have to do this. We don't dare to ask for Lord's help. As long as Lord can protect Ape Moo Tribe, it will be fine."
Moo Zhan, who was standing aside, kept staring at Moo Shan. His eyes were about to burst. His lips trembled, as if he had something to say. He could only understand the Yan Huang language, but he could not speak it. He was so anxious that his face turned red.
The Ape Demon Moo Mu patted Moo Zhan's hand, signaling him to be quiet. In the Ape Moo Tribe, the status of the Ape Demon was second only to the leader, Moo Shan. How could Moo Zhan not understand Moo Mu's gesture? It was rare that he did not know how to express himself! Moo Zhan seemed to be a little angry, and he instantly became like an eggplant that had been frosted. He became dispirited and sat blankly at the side. He seemed to be a little listless!
Chen Tianming naturally saw Moo Zhan's expression. He felt that Moo Zhan seemed to have something difficult to say. Of course, if Moo Zhan was unwilling to say it, he would not force him.
"I wonder why Lord passed by this Forgetting Forest?" Moo Shan bowed. Moo Mu and Moo Zhan looked at Chen Tianming as well. They seemed to be wondering why Chen Tianming would pass by this place and had a misunderstanding with them.
"So this damn place is called Forgetting Forest!" Chen Tianming suddenly realized. He looked at the three of them and smiled. "I want to go to the land of extreme cold..."
"The land of extreme cold?" Moo Shan and Moo Mu exclaimed at the same time. Even Moo Zhan's eyes widened.
"What?" Chen Tianming looked at the three people's faces with confusion and asked, What's wrong? "What is it? Is there a problem with this land of extreme cold?"
Moo Shan was silent for a while and said to Chen Tianming, "Lord does not know. This land of extreme cold is the residence of the Moon Goddess, ordinary people cannot approach it. Moreover, this land of extreme cold is more than tens of thousands of miles away from the Forgetting Forest. People like us... This doesn't include the difficulties and obstacles we encounter along the way. Moreover, if we are not careful, we will lose our lives to wild beasts!" These apes were different from the cultivator. A distance of thirty to forty thousand miles was just too difficult. Crossing mountains and ridges, crossing natural barriers... Along the way, there were countless ferocious beasts. Going back and forth would take at least three to five years. To be able to come back alive was already a fluke.
Moo Shan continued, "Every ten years, our Ape Moo Tribe will send the most outstanding warriors of our tribe to the land of extreme cold to cultivate bitterly. Of course... We do not dare to approach the land of extreme cold, because that is where the Moon Goddess lives!" After saying that, Moo Shan looked at Moo Zhan. "Every time we send our best warriors to the land of extreme cold to train, they will be able to come back safely. In these three hundred years, we have become the most popular brave warriors in our tribe. There is only one warrior sent by Ape Moo Tribe that can come back alive, and that is Moo Zhan! "
Hearing Moo Shan introduce him in such a way, Moo Zhan couldn't help but stick his chest out and raise his head!
"Oh?" Chen Tianming was a little surprised and immediately looked at Moo Zhan with interest. Moo Zhan was a rough character. Although his intelligence was much higher than other apes, he still had a sense of naivety in his bones!
An ape warrior had to cross a mountain and go to the extreme cold in the west to train. One could imagine how difficult it was. This was not only a test of one's own strength, but also a test of one's life. Only those who were not afraid of death or hardship would be willing to challenge this kind of limit!
Chen Tianming couldn't help but glance at this ape man in front of him. He smiled and said, "No wonder you were given the title of an elder of Ape Moo Tribe. You are actually a great warrior!"
Seeing Chen Tianming say this, Moo Zhan became energetic. His muscular chest almost flipped over. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He kept saying, "Wuwuwuwu..."
Even Moo Shan and Moo Mu could not help laughing. The dull atmosphere was instantly broken. Moo Shan smiled and explained to Chen Tianming, "Moo Zhan has a straightforward character, but he is very brave. He just told Lord that even if he went to the land of extreme cold to cultivate, he would definitely be able to come back safely."
"Good! This was a true warrior. As long as he was not afraid of losing or dying, he could bear any hardship! " Chen Tianming cheered. Moo Zhan in front of him was in line with his temper. Chen Tianming liked to socialize with straightforward people because such people were sincere and would not do anything behind their backs.
Chen Tianming patted Moo Zhan on the shoulder, "Well done. Moo Zhan! If you need help in the future, just come to me!" At the same time, he looked at Moo Shan and Moo Mu. He smiled and said," After this trip to the land of extreme cold,i will return to Sky Holding Pillar. You should know about the Sky Holding Pillar, right? " Seeing the blank faces of the three, Chen Tianming explained again, "From your Ape Moo Tribe all the way to the east. After exiting the Forgetting Forest, we will be able to see it. The tallest mountain is that! " He didn't say these words out of the blue. Firstly, he really had a good impression of Moo Zhan. Secondly, he felt a little guilty in his heart. He wanted to repay the Ape Moo Tribe.
"Holy Mountain?" Moo Shan and Moo Mu exclaimed at the same time. Their faces were filled with fear. Moo Shan's face was filled with disbelief. He stammered, "Zun, Lord, are you saying that you want us to go to the Divine Mountain to find you?"
Chen Tianming nodded. "That's right! You guys are right to call it Holy Mountain. I live at the waist of the mountain!" He had already decided that after finding the golden ginseng in the land of extreme cold, he would go to the Emei Sect to find Xiao Xiao. Once everything was settled, he would return to Sky Holding Pillar and enter secluded cultivation. He would focus on breaking through to the Nascent Infant Stage!
After getting confirmation from Chen Tianming, Moo Shan's wrinkled face turned red all of a sudden. Even his eyes were moist. Moo Mu and Moo Zhan stood aside without saying anything. However, they could see that they were also very happy in their hearts.
Moo Shan's eyes were also red, but they were not as murderous as Moo Zhan's. But at this moment, there was a layer of mist in his red eyes.
Moo Shan stood up, crossed his arms around his chest, and kneeled in front of Chen Tianming. Moo Mu and Moo Zhan, who were standing beside him, also did the same thing when they saw Moo Shan doing the same thing.
Seeing that they had a good discussion, the three of them suddenly kneeled in front of him in all seriousness. Chen Tianming suddenly felt a headache coming on. He hurriedly got up to support Moo Shan's thin and hunched body. He did not know whether to laugh or cry and said, "What are you doing? Yes, yes, why are you kneeling again? "
This time, Moo Shan refused to get up no matter what. Chen Tianming helped him up and he knelt down again. Chen Tianming smiled bitterly and said, "If there is anything you want to talk about, talk it out nicely. What's the big deal if you keep kneeling like this? A good person will be kneeling to death by all of you!"
Moo Shan raised his head and looked at Chen Tianming. He said excitedly, "Lord, Holy Mountain is the dream of all living beings. No one dares to disrespect the Holy Mountain! But Lord, you actually allowed us, ordinary living beings, to ascend to the Holy Mountain. We, we... "Moo Shan was so excited that he couldn't continue. He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes.
Chen Tianming finally understood what they meant. He smiled and said, "You don't have to do this. Holy Mountain belongs to everyone. It's not just me. Everyone, all living beings have the right to ascend to the Holy Mountain! "
After listening to Chen Tianming's words, the three of them revealed smiles on their faces. They all felt that Chen Tianming was different from the others. He was no longer an unreachable existence.
Chen Tianming insisted on asking Moo Shan and the other two to stand up and speak. Moo Shan and Moo Mu knew that Chen Tianming came down from the divine mountain, so they were very reserved. They answered every question Chen Tianming asked, as if the person sitting in front of them was a god!
Chen Tianming was helpless. Although the atmosphere was a little tense, after the conversation, the distance between them and Chen Tianming was still shortened.
Moo Zhan was a rough guy. Knowing that Chen Tianming came from Holy Mountain, he was even more excited. He also clearly remembered that Chen Tianming had patted his shoulder before. He rubbed the place where Chen Tianming had patted on his shoulder. Not only did he not feel any pain, but his whole body was floating and he kept smiling.
Through their conversation, Chen Tianming had a general understanding of this Forgetting Forest. This Forgetting Forest covered thousands of miles. There were many tribes in the Forgetting Forest. The four largest tribes were the Tauren tribe and the Centaur tribe. The Tree Hollow Tribe and the Human Lion tribe. These large tribes had tens of thousands of people. Ape Moo Tribe could only be considered a relatively small tribe. Its population was not even a fraction of those large tribes. Of course, besides these four big tribes, there were also many small and medium-sized tribes in the Forgetting Forest. Most of these tribes depended on the four large tribes to survive. The Ape Moo Tribe depended on the Tauren tribe!
The reason why the Forgetting Forest was filled with the aura of death. It was filled with miasma because of the center of the Forgetting Forest. There was a "dead tree" growing there. The trunk and roots of the "dead tree" had occupied a radius of about a mile. Adding in its thick and dense leaves, the entire "dead tree" was definitely a huge monster. It covered an area of dozens of kilometers!
When Chen Tianming heard that there was such a tree, he was also shocked. This was definitely a tree-king level old tree. No one could guess the age of this dead tree. In fact, this was not the only thing Chen Tianming was surprised about. What surprised him the most was why this dead tree was called a dead tree. Furthermore... The dead tree had been releasing death energy for many years, almost all the time. Why was that?
Moo Shan seemed to rarely speak for such a long time, and he seemed a little tired. He asked Moo Zhan to cut open a few melon fruits on the ground. He picked up a ladle of melon and handed it to Chen Tianming. He said, "Lord, please try the specialty of the Forgotten Forest, the vanilla melon!"
"Vanilla melon?" Chen Tianming took the melon. He was not in a hurry to eat it. He sniffed it first. It was indeed fragrant. It was a little like the taste of melons. It was said that this melon was a specialty of the Forgotten Forest. He seemed to be somewhat sensitive to things that grew in places filled with death energy. Chen Tianming didn't dare to eat it, but the melons and meat of this melon were rarely black.
Moo Shan saw Chen Tianming holding the ladle of the melons for a long time. He only smelled the melons and did not eat them. He could not help but ask curiously, "Lord, why don't you eat them? Do you think our pumpkin is too ordinary and not to your liking?"
