A man with a basket on his back and a mask came across the forest wilderness. There were a few dragon beasts several meters high watching him by the pool. They were four or five meters high, with two hind legs standing on tiptoe vigorously, and two more dragon beasts in front of him. Only sharp claws are suspended in the air, and saliva drips between the sharp knife-like teeth.

But he just turned his head and glanced at the other party, and the terrifying dragon beast saw the strange lines on the mask and ran away.

The weird horror is not only engraved in the human body, but also engraved in the blood of beasts.

He knocked on the door of a congregation of just a few dozen people, not even a tribe, just a large family living in a large natural cave with planted fruit trees and animal pens, fire kitchen.

He exchanged the dragon beast meat for some cakes made of ginkgo nuts and devoured them. Recently, he almost vomited after eating meat, and even started chewing the leaves.

He took a sip of water from a wooden tube and swallowed it down, and then expressed that he wanted to change some more. He still had some dragon skins, but the other party said it was a pity.

"We don't have any more."

The other party pointed to a place on the top of the mountain and said to Helfas.

"There is a farmer on the mountain over there. He has a lot of food."

"As long as you dare to eat!"

Helfas didn't know what the other party meant, so he asked.

"What to eat, why don't you dare to eat it?"

The other party said: "The things that man ate were made with weird power."

Helfas: "Weird?"

Now, he became a little interested in the farmer.

Compared with some food, he is more curious about how that person uses weird power to make food. If he can learn it, will he be able to get some food other than meat continuously on the road in the future? Or you can't hunt without worrying about lack of food.

When going up the mountain, he saw a person standing in front of a wooden house looking at him from a distance.

The withered yellow hair hangs over the face, which looks very old, but the hair doesn't seem to be that old.

The hair of the people in the Land of the Full Moon is all close to yellow, but some are more copper, some are more gold, and some are slightly whitish, but there are only these subtle differences.

The other party looked tall and thin, and looked at Helfas with a surprised expression, as if surprised that someone came up the mountain to look for him.

Helfas walked to the wooden house: "I heard that you have a lot of food, I want to exchange some."

The other party hadn't spoken yet, and something sounded from the trees beside him.

"Drink uh~"

Helfas looked over and found that it was a primitive bird. At this moment, the other party was spreading its wings and screaming towards Helfas with its sharp mouth.

But when Helfas looked over, he closed his mouth in fright, and then spread his wings and landed on the farmer's shoulder.

This is not a strange species of velvet dragon beast that seems to have failed in evolution or artificial interference, but a bird that can truly soar for a short time.

Helfas had seen it before on his travels, but this was the first time he saw someone keep this kind of thing as a pet.

The poultry raised by people in this era can either produce wool, eat meat, lay eggs, or all three. It is a bit of a luxury to keep a pet that cannot be eaten and does not have much use.

Helfas suddenly believed that the man in front of him could really use his weird powers to make food, because he really didn't seem to be short of food.

The other party nodded: "There is food, do you want it?"

Helfas followed the other party into the room, sat cross-legged on a piece of animal skin, and soon the other party took out a clay basin from the back and placed it in the center.

The so-called food is actually a kind of fruit.

The other party peeled off the shell in advance, revealing the shiny flesh, about the size of a palm.

Helfas picked it up, looked at it, and smelled it again: "It's kind of like... bread?"

He blurted out unconsciously.

The other party asked: "What is bread?"

Helfas couldn't tell, he just thought so.

The farmer said, "It has no name, and no one else has eaten it before. You must be talking about something else."

Helfas nodded, put a hand on the mask, and opened his eyes.

The leaf pattern on the mask suddenly moved, emitting a red light, and his eyes lit up, and Helfas was looking at the food in front of him through a strange perspective.

The farmer in front of him was very surprised. He carefully looked at the patterns on Helfas's mask.

In an instant.

He felt dizzy and could only lower his head.

Helfas took a closer look. This thing does have a weird aura, but there is no weird power in it.

He probably confirmed that this kind of thing should be edible, at least there is no supernatural power contained in it, and even if there is a problem, it is only a problem at the mortal level, such as poisonous or something.

Therefore, he is still a little cautious.

The farmer also noticed Helfas's worry, he didn't say much, but ate it by himself first.

Helfas looked at the primitive bird aside. He tore off a small piece and fed it to some pets of the other party. As a result, the primitive bird swallowed it in one gulp. It seemed that he was used to eating this kind of food.

At this time, he tried to take a bite.

It has a sweet taste and is covered with a layer of natural oil. For Helfas, who has been used to eating all kinds of dark dishes and even eaten blood and raw meat in the tribe, it can be said to be delicious in the world. up.

"Um?"

Helfas's eyes lit up.

When enjoying the delicious food, life seems to have light, and the fatigue of the long journey is swept away.

After eating a large piece, Helfas said, "I'd like some more."

Farmer: "No problem, I still have a lot."

But the other party continued: "However, I need you to help me."

Helfas: "What's the matter?"

The other party seemed a little embarrassed, he lowered his head, not daring to look at the other party's mask, and just pointed with his fingers.

"Is the mask on your face weird?"

"Can you control it?"

Helfas was a little wary: "What do you want me to do?"

The other said: "I want you to help me deal with a weirdness."

Helfas asked, "Why deal with an oddity?"

The other party said: "Because it may bring danger and destroy some things I want to protect."

Helfas thought about it for a long time before telling the other party.

"I need to see ahead of time what the **** is weird about that."

"If you know this weird characteristic, you must tell me all about it, so that I can tell you the answer."

Farmer: "Yes."

In fact, Helfas has been looking for weirdness that can be sealed by himself during this period of time. He did encounter some weirdness on the way, but either it was too strange to understand its characteristics, or the opponent disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. search everywhere.

It is difficult for him to squat on a certain weirdness all the time, and spend a few months and a year to slowly understand and recognize each other.

So the request made by the other party at this moment is actually one of the purposes of Helfas's trip.

After finishing speaking, Helfas reached out and picked up a piece of "bread".

stuffed in his mouth.

It was so delicious that it was difficult for him to maintain his image and be polite.

Hearing that Helfas did not intuitively refuse, the farmer was relieved.

Then, a look of joy welled up on his face.

"Originally, I had already given up. I didn't expect to meet someone like you."

—

Before the matter was done, Helfas ate and drank for nothing for several days, and even received his reward in advance.

A large bag of "oiled breadfruit", even if you eat nothing else, it is enough to last half a month.

That's how Helfas called it. Since the other party didn't give it a name, he would give it a name that he found pleasant.

The farmer took Helfas along the rugged mountain road and headed for his farmland. The field was really far away, and it took a full day to get there.

under the sun.

What came into view was a large uniform plant farmland, covering the valley, and there was only one kind of plant in the farmland, nothing else.

Helfas and the farmer knelt down and looked at them quietly in front of a field of oily breadfruit saplings.

These small trees are only as tall as a person's waist, and it seems that they can only grow so high. The branches are full of plump fruits, and the shells are dyed in the sun. This picture looks beautiful in itself, but in Hehe There is a meaning beyond beauty in the eyes of Erphas and the farmer.

Harvest, peace of mind, civilization and the future, all kinds of meanings beyond beauty suddenly emerged in my mind.

Helfas looked at the farmer: "Did you reclaim such a large piece of farmland?"

The farmer shook his head: "No."

The farmer led Helfas to walk deep into the gaps among the oil breadfruit fields. Helfas also observed the farmland from another perspective, and he suddenly discovered that these oil breadfruit trees were weird.

But this weirdness is very strange and weak. It doesn't seem to be dangerous, and its power is unknown.

The farmer had studied them, and told Helfas bluntly.

"Actually, this kind of tree doesn't need any soil, it only needs sunlight and water to bear fruit."

"As long as there is only one of them, they can reproduce forever. The longer the time, the bigger the farmland will be."

Helfas: "Is this considered extraordinary power?"

He didn't expect that such a weak and weird thing existed in the world.

Farmer said, "Isn't that extraordinary enough?"

"As long as water and sunlight can make food, it can keep replicating itself."

Helfas thought for a while, and felt that what the other party said made sense.

Walking in the oil bread field, Helfas also found some other things. Among them, various stone buildings can be seen collapsed, and among the roots and branches submerged, one by one can be seen. .

This is a tribal site where many people once lived.

Helfas looked at the farmer beside him.

I don't know if this has something to do with him, but the other party didn't say anything, just led him forward, as if he didn't see any traces of those dragon people who had lived.

at last.

They walked along the oil bread field to the end, where they saw the shadow of a tree four or five meters high.

The farmer pointed to the tree. "That's the weirdness I want you to deal with."

Finding Helfas a bit serious and tense, the farmer continued.

"Don't worry, it hasn't woken up yet, so it's not dangerous as long as it doesn't get too close."

He seemed to be very familiar with that tree.

Helfas took a few steps closer to look hard, and only then did he see the true appearance of the tree.

The tree was covered with a large number of human faces, and even the faces were still moving and blinking.

For a moment, Helfas felt extremely sick.

Helfas: "What the **** is this?"

The other party said: "Weird human-faced tree is also what this farmland used to look like!"

"When the small trees multiply enough, they will want to return to their former appearance and become that huge human-faced tree again, a powerful man-eating monster."

"Now that it has grown to such a height, it may not be long before it will really come alive."

It was the first time Helfas had heard that the weirdness would change.

From one form to another.

"Can you tell me in detail?"

Helfas wanted to understand further, he wanted to know all about those weird secrets.

The farmer looked up at the tree quietly.

"long, long ago."

"The tribes here have taken control of the Human Face Tree, using its power and fruit to survive."

"One day there was an accident, and the human-faced tree went out of control and swallowed everyone, but after swallowing everyone, it also paid the price."

"Because weirdos don't die, but they degenerate."

Helfas: "Degenerate?"

He asked, "Why, because it ate people?"

The farmer confirmed what Helfas said: "Yes, because they eat people."

Helfas was very surprised, because he just said it casually.

The farmer continued: "Weirds want to eat people, but when they eat too many people, they will pay a terrible price for it."

"They will distort the shape and then completely collapse."

"After the collapse, it turned into some weaker monsters."

The farmer told Helfas as if he had witnessed such a scene before, he was still looking at the human face tree while talking to Helfas.

"look!"

"It's doing everything it can to bring it back to life, to bring this farmland back to what it used to be."

The farmer turned his head to look at Helfas, and bent down to make a request to him.

"And what I want you to do."

"Just don't let it come back to life, but destroy it, let it maintain the shape of a small tree again, and keep this farmland."

Before dark, the two walked around the farmland here.

Helfas observed the terrain and inspected the oil bread tree and the human face tree several times before finally leaving.

They came here today and did nothing, the purpose was mainly to scout and plan.

—

In the cabin.

The farmer told Helfas all about the face tree and the oil bread tree, and he started the real sealing project for the weirdness.

While talking, some noisy calls of primitive birds came from outside from time to time.

Helfas did not elaborate on what he would do, let alone reveal any information about his strength.

He just said to the other party that he would help him solve the problem of the tree.

Knowing enough, Helfas asked the farmer a question.

"After stopping the Human Face Tree from causing disaster, what do you want to do?"

"I used to have a tribe too," said the farmer.

Helfas: "And now?"

Farmer: "Not anymore."

Helfas: "You were kicked out?"

Farmer: "No, the tribe is gone."

Helfas suddenly understood that the tribe site he saw was his former tribe.

He had vaguely guessed it before, but only now confirmed it.

The farmer told Helfas that the expression on his face that always seemed a little dull finally had some emotion, and it was very delicate and soft.

It seems that his heart is not as dull as he shows.

"My mother was the chief of the tribe and my mother told me a long, long time ago that we're just weird food and we're trapped by weirdness."

"We eat the fruit of it, and that is the price we pay."

After a pause, the farmer looked sideways at the ground, as if lost in memory.

"After listening to it, I am very unwilling, I am very, very unwilling."

"I hate that tree."

"I curse that tree."

"But one day, that tree got really crazy and it ate all the people."

"The tree withered when it was time to eat me."

"I watched that tree crumble and wither, and watch it turn into a field."

Speaking of such a picture, the farmer should have been very sad, but Helfas saw nothing but indifference.

Maybe it's because it's been too long, or life and death have been looked down upon by people of this age.

He said.

"All the time."

"I really don't understand why Weird wants to eat people?"

"Obviously they don't need people as food, what exactly do they want?"

"And what makes me even more confused is, knowing that there is a price to be paid for eating people, why does it still eat people?"

The farmer can't understand the world, but he has his own understanding of the world.

"Later, I probably figured it out."

"This should be the law and law of this world!"

"We are just a part of this world, circulating in different forms, we are all eating each other, changing and living in this world."

Helfas: "What do you mean?"

Farmer: "Actually, I heard someone say a long time ago that people, like weirdos, cannot die."

Helfas: "Why don't people die?"

Farmer: "After people die, they are buried in the ground and rot, and then become nutrients for plants, or are eaten by wild animals."

"The things that make us don't disappear, they just become part of the world."

"The same goes for weirdness, they don't go away, they just change."

"From one weirdness to another weirdness, from one form to another."

"The people of the tribe eat the fruit of the human-mask tree, and are eventually eaten by the human-mask tree. Life is constantly circulating in this change, and the same is true for weirdness."

"That's law and order."

Helfas: "Since you say this is the world order, why do you forcefully break it and prevent the rebirth of the Human Face Tree?"

Helfas looked at the farmer quietly, and at this moment he also thought of the Golden Tribe.

He also asked this question with the other party's leader at the time: "Why is the weirdness so terrible, and mortals don't have any special powers, or will some people want to touch these terrifying and dangerous existences and try to master their power?"

And this time, the farmer told Helfas about his answer.

"Maybe it's because people with wisdom are unwilling to follow the rules!"

"We ate the fruit of the human-masked tree, and we were eventually eaten by the human-masked tree. This is the order and law of nature."

"But in the end, the people of the tribe destroyed the human-mask tree with their own deaths, thus giving birth to food that can be eaten by people without paying a price."

The farmer looked directly at Helfas's mask, at the black eyes behind the mask.

"I think this should be the power of wise people to break the law!"

He stared directly at the weird mask, but refused to back away, as if a mortal with wisdom was challenging the weirdness and this world, saying no to the rules of this world.

That look was so determined that Helfas lost his mind.

"That day, when I saw that farmland was born."

"I seem to see everyone in the tribe shouting."

"They are telling the world that we need to change the rules and change the world."

"I think the farmland they created must have its meaning and be able to change something."

"I'm going to keep them."

It was the first time for Helfas to hear such a statement, and he suddenly became somewhat awed by the farmer in front of him. He may be an ordinary person in terms of strength, but he is definitely not an ordinary person in another level.

Back to his room.

Helfas took out a cloth scroll. He recently began to use pictures to record, mainly to record weird secrets. He felt that he should be able to use a special symbol to record, but he couldn't think of it. stand up.

In the end, he could only use stick figures to replace what he wanted to record.

Draw various patterns on a cloth scroll. As for the content on it, it is estimated that only he can explain clearly. For example, a crying face and a vertical bar painted with several branches mean the human face tree.

【Weird Human Face Tree】

[Characteristic 1: The power of the human face tree is to extract temperature and water. It can sense the living things around it, and instantly **** away all the temperature and water in its body, and finally use its roots to entangle its corpse a little bit into the body . 】

[Characteristic 2: When the human face tree devours a person, it will give birth to a powerful charm, which can make people hallucinate, UU reading www.uukanshu.com to lure living people forward. 】

[Characteristic 3: The human face tree will bear fruit, and when its fruit is eaten, it will be trapped near it forever and cannot leave unless its form and power collapse. 】

Helfas looked at what he wrote quietly, and suddenly he said something.

"never mind!"

he said suddenly.

According to Helfas's point of view, sealing the Human Face Tree can actually gain more benefits. It is a very powerful monster, and after sealing it, it will definitely gain more power and a powerful sealed item.

He had been hesitant before, but in the end he gave up on this plan and chose another one.

He even felt that compared to a sealed item, it was a weird power.

Some things are greater, some forces are more unshakable.

That is looking forward to.

That is firm belief.

That is the future too.

Helfas rolled up a part of the scroll, revealing a blank space, and described what he wanted to record with a twisted picture on it.

【Weird Bread Tree】

[Characteristic 1: No soil is needed, only sunlight and water are needed to grow a fruit called oil bread fruit. 】

[Characteristic 2: Copy and reproduce through the root system, as long as one is planted, a very large area of ​​farmland can be reproduced. 】

[Characteristic 3: When it reproduces and gathers in large numbers, it may transform into a more advanced weird Human Face Tree. 】

He put down the quill and stuffed it into the animal blood bottle beside him.

He came upon a wooden crate beside it, full of oiled breadfruit.

He couldn't help but took out one and put it in his hand, as if the farmer's words sounded in his ears again.

"Maybe it's because people with wisdom are unwilling to follow the rules!"
