From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 409 Goodbye Qingsong
I don’t know how many years the green pine tree in the middle of the valley has been growing.

Perhaps it is because the existence of this tree has absorbed all the fertility in the soil in the valley. Apart from this green pine, not to mention trees, even ordinary flowers and plants are hard to be seen in the valley.

After greeting the soldier and the big bear, Jiang Yao walked into the valley. About ten meters away from the green pine tree, he paused, and the others stopped there.

Such a huge pine tree has a trunk so thick that it would take at least several people to hug it.

"Ow!"

"Ow!"

……

Amidst a series of low growls, the tiger that had escaped earlier poked its head out from behind the pine tree.

It stared at Jiang Yao with great concern. As the king of the jungle, there was actually a hint of fear in its tiger eyes.

With a bit of disdain, Jiang Yao glared at it fiercely.

Then he shifted his gaze and looked directly at the green pine tree next to him.

"It's you, staring at me?"

"Before, when I pinned this little kitten to the ground, it was you who suddenly attacked and made it escape from my hands?"

"It's just a tree, but it's not easy for it to have intelligence."

"Instead of hiding in this valley, you are meddling in my affairs. You want me to let this tiger go. What? Are you so shameless?"

With a cold snort, Jiang Yao's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He scanned every part of the pine tree in front of him up and down.

Although the tiger had developed some intelligence and was much stronger than ordinary tigers, to Jiang Yao, it was still the kind of creature that could be suppressed with ease.

Compared with this tiger, the existence that could affect his perception to a certain extent, making him feel dazed, and directly transmit sound into his mind, naturally made him pay more attention to it.

Before, when he just noticed that extremely subtle feeling of being watched, he blasted out several tree roots from under the ground.

After the tiger escaped from his hands, it did not go anywhere else, but went straight into this valley.

Connecting the two together, Jiang Yao naturally felt a little suspicious about the green pine tree in the valley.

He stared at the big tree for a long time. Apart from being extremely huge, he didn't notice anything unusual about it. But there is a saying that goes, it is better to kill three thousand people by mistake than to let one go!

Since there are doubts about the pine tree in front of me, no matter whether it is the unknown existence in the dark, I will test it for a while first.

"No reaction? Or do you look down on me and don't want to show up?"

Jiang Yao smiled coldly with a sullen expression, "We just bought a new house and we just happened to be short of furniture. The wood from this big tree should be enough to make some wooden beds, cabinets, sofas, etc."

"Although I didn't bring any tools with me this time, with my strength, it shouldn't be a problem for me to break you."

"Whether you have been born with consciousness or not, as long as you don't respond to this, it means you have accepted it."

While speaking, he stomped hard on an irregular stone the size of a human head in front of him as if to show off.

With a series of crisp sounds, the whole stone broke into pieces and turned into rubble on the ground.

Soldier and Big Bear seemed to be responding to Jiang Yao's words. After looking at each other, they both grinned grimly, each took out a dagger, and walked towards the pine tree.

With the strength of the two of them, without the right tools, and only relying on two small daggers, it would be impossible to break the giant tree in front of them, but it would definitely take a very long time before there was any chance of success.

Their actions at this moment represent determination, and their intention is definitely more about deterrence.

"Ow!"

"Ao..." The tiger, which had half of its body sticking out from behind the giant tree, had a fierce look in its eyes and kept growling.

However, after being glared at by Jiang Yao for a few times, it instantly became timid again, and its body shrank back behind the tree trunk, leaving only half of its head still exposed.

"Ah..." A soft sigh finally entered Jiang Yao's mind again. Then, the voice continued: "My friend, I had a good relationship with you in the past, why do you have to do it to the extreme?"

For a moment, Jiang Yao was stunned.

He was silent for a while, as if thinking about something. He then tentatively asked, "Who are you? The Taoist Qingsong who played a few games with me and then used a paper crane to lead me away from this forest?"

After being reminded by the voice in his mind, Jiang Yao suddenly recalled what happened on the night he came to this jungle to hunt.

In his impression, the Taoist Master Qingsong has always been a senior master. He had never thought that the so-called Taoist Master Qingsong was actually a green pine tree.

"The main body of the pine tree is here. It's such a huge tree, its roots must have already extended to who knows how many miles away."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the feeling of being spied on that I felt before should have come from those tree roots underground."

"That year, after I met the tiger, I entered its dream and made it fall into a deep sleep."

"Perhaps, it was because of those roots that he was able to see this scene, and that Taoist Qingsong showed up and took the initiative to make friends with me, so as to establish a good relationship with me."

……

Jiang Yao had no idea how many thoughts were running through his mind.

At this moment, the way he looked at the pine tree had obviously become strange.

"My friend, it's good that you can still remember what happened back then."

"Xiaohua has been with me for more than 20 years. Although it is a tiger, it has never killed innocent people."

"For the sake of the friendship we had back then, I hope you can show mercy and let it go." After a light sigh, the voice continued.

Although its intelligence is the same as that of ordinary people and it has mastered many special skills, it is still just a tree. Its main location is its biggest weakness.

Whether the trunk is sawed off or the whole tree is burned directly, the damage caused to it is simply beyond its ability to bear.

Before, when Jiang Yao subdued the tiger, Qingsong helped the tiger Xiaohua and allowed it to escape successfully, but it never thought that Jiang Yao could actually follow the clues and find here.

It was also very helpless about the current situation. Facing Jiang Yao, it not only threw out the little affection it had in the past, but even the tone of its voice was obviously a bit humble.

"It didn't kill innocent people, so it's still a good tiger? Then how did it raise its minions?"

"Also, what about the animal and human bones outside the valley?"

"You're not going to tell me that those piles of bones have nothing to do with it?"

Although Qingsong's identity was confirmed, Jiang Yao had no intention of letting the tiger go. He responded coldly with a sullen face.

After all, the matter of the demon tiger's blood is related to his own cultivation plan.

Although Taoist Qingsong did have a ties to him in the past and had helped him a little, even without his guidance, with Jiang Yao's abilities, it was only a matter of time for him to escape from the jungle.

To block someone's path is tantamount to killing their parents.

Jiang Yao had already given Qingsong, the tree demon, a lot of face by not killing the demons but directly killing him. How could he let the tiger go?

"My friend, I am a human, not a real tree demon."

"During that special period, as a monk, I was forced to flee into the jungle because I had no other choice."

"Here, I was besieged by two leopards. My body was damaged, and the only remnant of my soul that remained accidentally merged with this pine tree, which led to who I am today."

"Those withered bones in the miasma outside the valley were indeed caused by Xiaohua, but she had no choice but to do so in order to prevent the valley from being discovered by outsiders."

……

After a long silence, Qingsong let out a long sigh and continued to explain.
