Chapter 12 The Wishing Tree in the Forest of Monsters
After entering the Monster Forest, the animal monsters did not look at Li Ping'an and others, and completely treated them as demons.
Li Ping'an walked forward with a knife and walked for about an hour.
Deep in the forest, the density of monsters on the road increased instead of decreasing, and monsters could be seen rampant along the way.
Li Ping'an even heard some animals discussing murder and revenge.
"Sure enough, there are still animals that are not gone." The little fox shook the fox's ears on his head.
At this time, Reiko stopped moving forward and said, "It's here, the smell is very strong."
Li Ping'an looked closely and saw an ancient tree with a radius of five meters in eye-catching. Several people couldn't hold their arms even when they opened their arms.
The old tree has roots, and the branches like dragons stretch outwards, blooming pink cherry blossoms.
It was like a big pink cotton ball planted on my head, and the fragrant wind came.
When the smell was strong to a certain extent, even Li Ping'an smelled a strange smell.
"Is it the cause of the ban?"
"A big cherry blossom tree?"
The little fox felt it was unreasonable, and this tree was obviously planted here before.
There is a clear pool of water under the cherry blossom trees. The cherry blossom balls shine on their own, making the pool water shine.
Li Ping'an discovered that many monsters had crossed the pool water, worshiped under the cherry blossom trees, and placed food offerings of large or small.
Some of those foods are bread, some are a flower, and some are fruit.
Li Ping'an stopped a worshiper and asked:
"Hello, what is the origin of this tree? Can you tell me? I am a monster coming from the city next door and don't know what's going on here."
The monster who was stopped was not angry. He looked at Li Ping'an in black robe and said, "This is a wishing tree, but it does not bloom often. Once it blooms, make a sincere wish to it, and your dream may come true."
After the worshiper finished speaking, he handed Li Ping'an a wild flower, "Since you are here, you can worship it too, maybe your wish will come true."
It was also at this time.
A drip sound.
The system's tasks have been updated.
Li Ping'an immediately opened the system with his mind and saw that the main task had been updated.
【Main Task:
1. Destroy the Wishing Tree
2. Abort the investigation and wait for the game to end]
Seeing such a task, Li Ping'an was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the game system would give a completely different dual-choice approach.
But why does the system give the option to destroy?
What's the secret behind this wishing tree?
Li Ping'an looked at Levi, and Natsume Reiko also looked at Levi.
Levi talked about it in a group chat with three people. It was his second time playing games and had a game experience.
At this time, Levi took out his cell phone, and Li Ping'an also tacitly took out his cell phone, but soon he realized that this was not possible. Monster Forest actually had no Internet and could not chat online.
"Forget it, find a place where no one is talking." Levi looked at the phone without signals, and his dead fish eyes were expressionless.
They didn't pick a distance, and stopped more than 100 meters away from the wishing tree. There were fewer trees around them and fewer places to cover their bodies.
"Levi, what's going on now? Has our mission been completed? Even if we don't do anything next, we can still receive the reward?" Li Ping'an asked.
However, Reiko Natsume was interested in destroying the wishing tree: "What happens if she destroys the wishing tree?"
Levi pondered: "The mission has been completed, and there will be rewards whether it is investigated or not."
Levi said that now is a key turning point in the game.
One is an option that may trigger high-risk risks, and the other is a safe option. It is not embarrassing to stop investigating here.
Levi also faced a critical selection period of two-way choice in the last round of the game, and chose a more radical adventure, resulting in the death of a teammate of three.
"Then did you succeed in the end?" Li Ping'an asked.
"Not successful." Levi shook his head.
Levi also explained that regardless of failure or not, as long as the player investigates the main road fork, the player has already received the guaranteed reward.
"Hey! Beaver, how troublesome is it to destroy the wishing tree?"
Levi kicked the little fox who was wandering outside the sky with his feet.
While the three of them were chatting about the game mission content, the little fox was in a daze.
Her eyes were staring at the beautiful cherry blossom tree, and she was fantasizing about irrelevant things in her mind.
She didn't care at all about the game content mentioned by Levi and others.
The voice of discussion came in from her left ear and came out from her right ear.
"What, are you calling me?" Fox-Eared Loli turned her head.
"Who else is beaver besides you?" Li Ping'an complained.
"But I am a fox now." The fox-eared loli is still very self-aware and completely abandons her identity as a beaver.
"If you ask, don't talk." Reiko Natsume rubbed the little fox's ears with her hands.
The little fox shouted goodbye, and then used his barren brain to think about the importance of the wishing tree.
"Destroy... Why do you want to destroy such a beautiful tree? It is the first time I have seen it bloom since I grew up." The little fox was unwilling to think about such a complicated thing.
Li Ping'an persuaded him so much that the little fox could recall the importance of the cherry blossom tree.
"I really don't know what trouble it will cause. I should ask the old man about this." The little fox didn't know what trouble it would be to destroy the cherry blossom tree.
In the little fox's heart, such a beautiful tree should not be destroyed.
Li Ping'an and others looked at each other and chatted with the reluctant little fox about the history of the wishing tree, and then decided to ask the little fox's real mother.
Half an hour later.
At the little fox's home, a river flows through the roadside, and a fat female beaver finds herself surrounded by fox-eared loli and three black-robed monsters.
At first, the little fox's mother did not recognize her daughter and was confused.
It also sounds magical. The little fox's mother doesn't know that the little fox has successfully won the title.
Some monsters will move out to start a family and start a business when their children become adults, so the little fox hasn't returned home to visit the elderly for a while.
"Who are you?"
The beaver's mother is not tall and has gray hair all over. She looks no different from a normal beaver. She is all furry and very cute.
"Mom, I'm your daughter."
The fox ear loli stood in front of her mother beaver, shaking the fox ear on her head, and the fox ear behind her also shook slightly, posing an expression of trying to prove that she was her daughter.
The beaver's mother looked disbelief, "You are really a child. Mom can't recognize me randomly. I am a beaver, you are half a fox and half a human. The voice of disguising your daughter can deceive my ears, but not my eyes."
"I'm Ali, mom!"
The little fox was stunned and couldn't help but say her name, and stepped on the floor in anger.
When the Beaver's mother heard the name, she was half-believing and half-doubted, but she felt unbelievable again. Maybe it was the name that someone else eavesdropped on.
The little fox continued to step on the floor, telling all kinds of things about her childhood. Her mother had personal experiences. It was okay to hear one thing, but after hearing more than a dozen things, her eyes widened.
After a while, my mother, who knew the truth, felt like she was about to split.
