Shenmu Totem: Reborn Desert Tree

Chapter 11 The boundless sea, meeting human beings for the first time

The boundless sea is vast and boundless.

Oasis of various sizes are dotted here and there.

Oasis, the cradle of life, on which countless creatures depend for survival.

On this day, a young man came to an inconspicuous little oasis.

He was holding a sharp knife, his body was stained with blood, and he was walking in a hurry.

He first looked behind him and seemed to find that no one was chasing him, so he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking further into the distance, there were vaguely endless undulating sand dunes and mountains.

But he didn't look into the distance, but looked around at this small oasis.

He said softly, "Hey", and stared at a big tree in the oasis.

There was a sense of dullness, and even a deep sense of wariness.

"But after chasing me so far, aren't you afraid of getting lost in the vast sea in this area?"

Mu Yunsheng remained unmoved and continued to ask unhurriedly.

If you look closely, you can vaguely see that the top seems to be broken.

'Hey, the word I used was unexpectedly, shouldn't I use finally?'

No more pretense!

In the past eight years, I often felt lonely and collapsed at first, but later I decided to get out of trouble through practice.

Soon, a strong man with a beard and a big sword was spotted running towards him.

"Although he has only been a lord for more than a hundred years, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Since he is about to die, there will naturally be many people waiting to eat the meat."

It reminded him of the long-standing entanglement between men and women, and he suddenly felt uneasy.

The bearded man looked around first and said, "Is this the cemetery you chose? This small oasis has mountains and water. It is indeed a good place with good Feng Shui."

Mu Yuntian muttered to himself, as if he was strengthening his memory, and he seemed to be telling someone.

(Hanhai: One refers to the large lake in the north; the other refers to the large desert. After the Ming Dynasty, it specifically refers to the Gobi Desert.)

Mu Yuntian listened carefully to the conversation between the two parties and collected useful information.

Mu Yuntian fell into memories and felt that he didn't seem to yearn for human society as much as he did before.

Therefore, he deliberately kept a low profile and did not grow taller by pressing on the tree body, but only grew appropriately thick.

"The relationship between our two clans used to be good, but that was before. Who doesn't know that your Mu clan was the lord of the Ziluo Oasis three hundred years ago."

In a moment, the strong man with beard arrived under the tree and stood more than ten meters away.

"Hey, it's just your second time." Cheng Xiaohong didn't take it seriously.

I also dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword, but I was hit by the world one after another.

The man with his back against the big tree had just finished talking to himself when he coughed violently several times.

'There are actually humans appearing!'

Mu Yunsheng's eyes flashed and he suddenly asked: "It seems that if something happened to the caravan, you already know the reason."

"Have you already achieved your innate breakthrough?"

Mu Yunsheng did not stand up, but said calmly: "Cheng Xiaohong, I didn't expect you to come after me."

'I guess so.'

Mu Yunsheng paused for a moment, looked at Cheng Xiaohong with flashing eyes, and said in a deep voice.

Around the base of the tree, there was a large pile of sand, which was more than one meter higher than the surrounding area.

"I think I, Mu Yunsheng, thought I was extraordinary, but I didn't expect that I would be plotted against on my second trip out. Am I going to die miserably in this unknown oasis?"

If you look carefully around, you can see that there seems to be a circle of dents centered on the tree.

Speaking of this, Cheng Xiaohong was a little evasive and a little unwilling.

After a while, he walked under the tree, held the tree with his blood-stained hands, and sat down slowly, breathing heavily.

Mu Yuntian couldn't react for a while.

This tree is exactly the true form of Mu Yuntian.

"Although my clan doesn't dare to eat meat, it should be fine if we secretly drink a few sips of soup."

'Mu Yunsheng, such a familiar name, why do I feel like it is my name?'

Until now, I just want to keep a low profile and survive hard.

Mu Yunsheng listened expressionlessly and did not interrupt the other party.

This tree is not too tall, only five or six meters, but it is extremely strong, as thick as a human's arms.

It was the summer of the fifth year when he encountered the sandstorm, and it is now the autumn of the eighth year.

Mu Yuntian's perception has now greatly increased, reaching a radius of five hundred meters.

'You can still understand the voice that is obviously not from the previous life. Is it because of mental telepathy?'

Mu Yunsheng stared at the other person closely, looking unmoved at all, and said again.

He was meditating when he was awakened by a sudden touch.

Although Cheng Xiaohong was a little impatient, he still continued proudly: "However, the acquired peak is not the best after all, and I have indeed already refined my Qi innately."

'No, my name seems to be Mu Yuntian.'

"This must be your first time going out to the oasis, right?"

He needs to take root deeply and accumulate foundation.

"I am an ordinary person who was thrown into the crowd and could never be found again. For some reason, when I woke up, I traveled through time and became a tree, a very ordinary, inconspicuous fruit tree."

Cheng Xiaohong stared at Mu Yunsheng, who was sitting on the ground and leaning against the big tree, and laughed.

"Hahaha, Mu Yunsheng! How can you escape this time?"

He thought for a moment and then went straight to the tree.

The years of loneliness eroded the memory of his past life.

When the strong man with beard named Cheng Xiaohong heard this, he burst out laughing: "Hahaha, you are about to die, and you still try to use words to ask me to let you go?"

At this moment he met a human being - Mu Yunsheng.

When Cheng Xiaohong heard this, his eyes flashed and he didn't want to say any more.

He even began to deliberately forget everything about his previous life, so much so that he almost forgot his name in his previous life.

During these three years, he repeatedly warned himself not to wander or drift!

‘Hanhai? It is indeed a desert area.’

"How many years have it been since I turned into a tree? Is it ten or eight years? I almost forgot that I was once a human being."

"Oh, I know you are trying to find out my bottom, and I also know that you are stalling for time and want to regain more strength."

"Hehe, you are really as naive as the rumors say. Since you want to know, I will tell you so that you can become a wise man after your death."

He shouted: "It's useless to talk more. Hand over all the spiritual objects and I'll keep your whole body."

That’s why natural and man-made disasters continue.

Sure enough, not long after, a laugh came from afar.

And this person’s name is so similar to his, it feels like a ‘natural match’.

He covered his mouth tightly with one hand, but blood could not stop oozing from his fingers.

He almost forgot his name.

He has fantasized countless times about meeting humans and understanding the human society in this world.

At this time, more than three years had passed since the sandstorm.

"I ask myself, my friend, if I am worthy of you, the spiritual resources obtained will be distributed appropriately without any bias. Moreover, the relationship between our two clans has always been good..."

Now that I suddenly encountered it, I felt a little at a loss.

He doubted the consciousness of this world and discovered his identity as a time traveler.

"It seems like you have only broken through to the early stage, and it is not very stable." Mu Yunsheng stood up slowly.

"You are still very smart."

Cheng Xiaohong narrowed his eyes, said no more, and approached forward with a big sword in hand.

Thank you for reading. It involves a lot of setting and foreshadowing in the early stage. The pace is a bit slow, but it will get faster and faster in the future. Please support, recommend, and pay attention!!!
