Chapter 136: Chapter 9 A Big Business Deal {VIP Chapter 7}_3
"Traveler, could you drink a bit less, the Munk monkeys in the mountains have put all their recent batch of brew in here, you must leave some for me," the giant said with a hint of heartache.
"Monkey brewed wine?" Liu Zhenhan drank again heartily, smacking his lips, "Not bad, not bad at all!"
"This is a specialty of the Southern Cross Star Forest!" The giant said a little proudly: "Apart from us Ents, the Shepherds of the Trees, no one else has this privilege!"
"Ents, the Shepherds of the Trees?" Liu Zhenhan hasn’t heard Helen mention this race before, he was puzzled.
He only knew that apart from the Titan Giant tribe, in the continuous Southern Cross Star Forest beneath the Bering Mountains, there was an Elf Kingdom. The population of this Elf Kingdom was about five thousand, scattered in three tribes within the forest. According to Helen, whether male or female, Elves have extremely beautiful appearances, kind and intelligent personalities, keen vision and hearing. They can remain forever young and healthy, live up to three to four thousand years, can be killed, or die from heartbreak. It is said that every Elf is extremely proficient in archery. Even moving swiftly in the depths of the dense forest in the pitch-black night, they can quickly draw and shoot the eye of a bird hundreds of meters away.
It is due to the Elves’ archery skills that after several iterations, the King of Bimon consequently reassigned the Haus tribes Centaur Archers under the Pier Race. This was actually done reluctantly. Among the Bimon, long-range attack force has always been a big problem. The Haus tribe Centaur Archers are the best archers of the Bimon. In ancient mythology, the constellation of the Archer in the sky is named after the Centaur totem Aiolis. freёnovelkiss-com
Liu Zhenhan looked the giant up and down, still unable to understand his race.
"Didn’t expect us Ents, the Shepherds of the trees, have now disappeared from the memory of the Bimon." The giant couldn’t help but sigh.
"Well, nothing better to do, why not tell me more about it." Liu Zhenhan rubbed his nose: "I’m just a country Bimon, a bit naive."
"Unlike you humans who evolved from animals, we Ents are intelligent humans evolved from plants." The giant picked up the cigar that fell from Liu Zhenhan’s agape mouth, took it for himself and said: "Don’t be surprised, dear Bimon sacrifice, your wisdom can assure you understand what I am saying. After tens of thousands of years of evolution, the physical structure of us intelligent humans are basically the same, whether evolved from animals or plants, it’s the same principle."
"Obischillaci!" Liu Zhenhan was truly frightened: "So what do you Ents eat usually? Just like right now? Eating meat?"
"Dear Bimon sacrifice! There are also carnivorous plants in this world! What’s the big deal about us eating a bit of meat!" There seemed to be a sarcastic tone in the Shepherd-tree People’s words, mocking Liu Zhenhan’s fear.
"So you’ve noticed my sacrificial status." Liu Zhenhan was a bit embarrassed. He had indeed shown shock, certainly unbecoming of a sacrifice’s broad knowledge.
"During the God and Demon War, I stood with your Bimon Beastmen against the invasion of the Demon Clan from the Space-time Rift in the Southern Cross Star Forest." The Shepherd-tree People said dismissively: "Back then, humans seemed to be a part of you Bimon, not having betrayed your war god Kampas yet!"
"Obischillaci!" Liu Zhenhan asked: "Mate, how old are you now?"
"Me?" The Shepherd-tree People said a bit melancholically: "I have forgotten my own age. The long years have made it almost impossible for me to remember the past. We Shepherd-tree People have eternal life spans, even the Model Tribe of the Bimon cannot compare."
"So you are a respected elder!" Liu Zhenhan showed him reverence.
"Don’t be so formal, young Bimon. From the faint dragon breath emanating from you that even mosquitoes dare not approach, I knew you weren’t a simple Bimon Soul Sacrifice. Even among the Bimon’s brave warriors, few dare to appear alone in this terrifying Magical Beast forest!" The Shepherd-tree People chuckled: "I wonder if those giant dragons I knew are still alive, oh how I miss them."
"Why haven’t we Bimons written anything about the Ents, the Shepherds of the Trees? I really find this very strange!" Liu Zhenhan also laughed. However, what puzzled him was that the Shepherd-tree People kept mentioning knowing all these powerful creatures, even fighting alongside the Bimon Beastmen, so how could he be so unknown now?
"Perhaps the war a thousand years ago destroyed your civilization and records. I have been asleep for the last five hundred years, lonely, every thousand years or so, I enter an extended slumber, awakening each time to see from the growth rings on my body how long I’ve been sleeping." The Shepherd-tree People stroked his arm with an unmistakable air of sadness: "We Ents, the Shepherds of the Trees, are the rulers of the forest. Just like your shepherds herd the Larza Beasts, we Shepherd-tree People are the shepherds of the forest. When I came here from the distant Atlantis Continent to the Donau Continent, this place was still a desolate battlefield after the God and Demon War. Now, the Southern Cross Star Forest has become the most beautiful green treasure of this continent."
"Pastoring the forest?" Liu Zhenhan was speechless, this forest has been here for at least ten thousand years, who could create such a marvel?
