Chapter 96: Prophecy
Standing on the arm of the oak tree man, Jiang Ning looked at their slow pace quite speechlessly! However, he didn't show it, he really wanted to see what the tree elder wanted to do.
With his strength, there are not many people in this world who can pose a threat to him!
What's more, he felt that these tree people were very afraid of wizards. Although he was unfriendly and even hostile to wizards, he didn't see malice from Oak's invitation just now! Instead, the hostile attitude disappeared. Therefore, he would agree to meet their elders.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the group of tree people finally reached the place.
Jiang Ning jumped off Oak's body and looked at the small lake. There was a small island in the middle of the lake. A huge rain tree, nearly forty meters high! Ten meters taller than the average rain tree!
On his thick torso, he opened a pair of huge green eyes and mouth. He looked very old, and there were dry wrinkles around his eyes and mouth. The group of tree people around them all saluted very respectfully!
Elder Yushu opened his mouth, and his voice was unusually loud and kind: "I thought that after five hundred years, this island and continent that had not been discovered by humans in the Old Continent would be discovered by some navigators. Then it would be known by human society, I didn't expect you to come to the depths of this jungle seven hundred years earlier, no, it should be one thousand years!"
"One thousand years?" Jiang Ning secretly estimated the time. The age of great navigation was the era of great geographical discovery that began at the end of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the sixteenth century. Now is the tenth century, so counting, I came to America and Brazil five or six hundred years earlier. In the depths of the Amazon rainforest, the real large-scale entry of humans should be between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries! In the 21st century, the Amazon rainforest was initially conquered, but the environment here still said no to the human beings at that time! A real forbidden place!
Jiang Ning did not expect that the tree elder's prophecy ability was so powerful that he even predicted the great geographical discovery.
"Then do you know why I'm here?"
The tree man elder said: "No, I don't know what your purpose of coming here is. However, I have seen a change in the future! The ethnic groups that were supposed to be extinct in the future have a sliver of life because of your arrival! "
"Extinction?"
"Yes, the inevitable genocide!"
Jiang Ning was very curious: "Since you can predict what will happen a thousand years later, can't you change it?"
The tree man elder smiled bitterly and said: "Although I can predict all the worlds after thousands of years, I can't change the fate of the ethnic group! In the next few hundred years, because the island and this huge land were first discovered by the navigators of the Old Continent. Then it caused a sensation in human society. With the intervention of the country, active colonization was carried out! Blood and fire were born! As ordinary people came one after another, they cut down plants and built villages, towns and cities, and more and more wizards also Come across the sea!"
His tone was filled with grief: "For these wizards, this virgin land belongs to an uncultivated treasure land! Countless rare animals and plants that can be used to enhance their magical abilities have been plundered! Countless wizard families are stationed Here! In the future, the only remaining treants and flower elves will be wiped out by greedy wizards! There is nowhere to hide! Although this place is deep in the rainforest, the footsteps of wizards will come here sooner or later! They do not have the ability to cast spells We are unable to fight against wizards at all! The only thing that greets us is destruction!"
"Didn't think about migrating again?" Jiang Ning thought about it, since the danger would be predicted, then migrating again! Anyway, the earth is so big, there will always be a place to live!
The Elder Treant said in a desolate tone with tears in his eyes: "It's useless, it's useless to migrate anywhere! Except for a continent covered with ice and snow, nowhere can you escape the road of extinction! The ancient nature ,
Gradually conquered by humans! They took chariots made of steel, big ships and iron birds flying in the sky, and conquered things that humans could not even imagine in the past. In the end, they even tried to conquer the vast and vast starry sky! Except for the sea, which makes human beings grounded and full of fear! Nowhere can stop their footsteps! And we..." He looked at the clansmen around him, and said with a desolate smile: "Besides being able to live on the earth, we cannot survive in other environments. Since they are all dead, simply stay here safely! Embrace death quietly! "
The surroundings were silent and the atmosphere was very dull. It was obvious that the tree people also knew about this prophecy. All of them know the prophecy except the innocent flower elf. Since it cannot be stopped, then the only choice is to wait silently for death to come! For them, it's nothing more than a return to the arms of Mother Nature, which isn't scary. The only thing that worries them is the destruction of the ethnic group! Only this situation is what they are most worried about, and they don't care about anything else.
Because, they died too many clansmen.

Jiang Ning looked around, looked at the tree elders, and asked, "Are you the only clansmen left?"
"Yes, what you see before your eyes is the only clansmen left! The rest of the clansmen all died in the Old Continent! They died at the hands of lumberjacks, in the fire, at the hands of wizards, and finally were killed by People made magic wands and slaughtered our clansmen in turn! Hahaha!" The tree elder's voice was full of sorrow, and teardrops the size of footballs kept dripping.
Hearing what the Shuren elders said, Jiang Ning sympathized with them.
human beings! What a contradictory and cute creature!
On the one hand, they are industrious and creative, and have created world-renowned civilizational achievements! In just a few thousand years, modern industry has been developed! On the one hand, they wantonly kill other life in the process of development! Whether it's animals or plants, even yourself...
Human beings are going further and further on the road of self-destruction step by step! Although we all know that going on like this can only be self-destruction! However, the great division and disunity of human beings can only make them know that continuing is a dead end, and they can only continue, there is no way to stop it! All because of human distrust. Divide groups, divide races, divide ideologies! There are contradictions in all aspects, which have made human beings what they are today! It is precisely because of this that at the same time, modern science and technology that human beings are extremely proud of have been born!
Although human beings wantonly kill and destroy on the one hand, they only think of remediation when the environment is destroyed! However, the extinction of creatures due to human beings in history is no less than a mass extinction! But what can Jiang Ning say? He is also human, which is the inevitable result of human development! Even if there is a choice, human beings will go through the process of history like this! The difference could be a little milder! Extinct those creatures that are a threat to humans, and allow the rest to continue to exist!
Human beings have always been domineering, and I am the only one who respects me. Those who obey will prosper and those who oppose will perish!

"I deeply sympathize with what happened to you!" Jiang Ning said, "I sympathize with you when you were massacred, but I don't take the blame for it. I didn't do it!" '
The elder Shuren suddenly looked at Jiang Ning with pleading eyes: "Wizard, can you help us?"
"?" Jiang Ning was a little surprised, and then he tried to say, "You want me to help you find a place to live?"
The tree elder said sadly: "There is no longer any habitat for my group in this world!"
Jiang Ning thought for a while, and then said, "If you are allowed to move your whole family to a completely strange place, would you be willing?"
"A completely unfamiliar place?" He was slightly stunned, and then said, "Where do you mean?"
"To be exact, my botanical garden! If you are willing to work for me and help me take care of my botanical garden, then you can migrate to my place! I promise, you will develop peacefully and steadily. Moreover, my botanical garden has a large area Big, beyond your imagination!"
The tree elder thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "You won't enslave us, will you?"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "Of course not. We are employers. Do you understand this?" Seeing the tree elder nod, he continued: "You work for me and help me take care of the plants in my botanical garden. As a reward, I will give You provide a place to live and reproduce! How about it?"
"Where is your botanical garden?" The elder asked the key question.
Jiang Ning smiled mysteriously: "Here!"
