Lele'er and Garuda's Past

The process of traversing the spatial passage was too boring, so we'll skip it.

After reaching the other side, the five players huddled together and began to move forward.

They didn't know which part of the Sighing Forest this was, but the old chieftain had said that carrying a Wild Lantern would attract Eupusca to come and forage, so they just needed to keep their heads covered.

However, the Historian couldn't be allowed to lead the charge now, so Hong Lin, carrying a newly forged wooden spear, walked at the very front, the Puppeteer drove the puppets to the rear, the Hunter acted as the eyes of the entire team, and as for the other two...

They were already chatting enthusiastically under the protection of the three people.

"Hey bro, tell me some more gossip about [Prosperity]."

Cheng Shi leaned against Zuo Qiu with his arm around his shoulder, looking very enthusiastic.

"What else is there to say? Didn't we already say it yesterday?"

"How could that be? You only mentioned one of His sons. Didn't you say He had four children? Tell me all of them!"

"As I said, I've never heard of either of the two older schools of History School. As for the last one, you should be familiar with it at this level, right?"

"I understand Lele'er."

Zuo Qiu nodded. "Yes, it's the [Fear Mother Tree] Lele'er. Our colleagues found records about her in the secret histories of tribes in the southwestern rainforest, but what's written inside is kept secret..."

"Bald guy, make a substitution! My brother said he wants to play forward!"

"But it's not like you can't say it..." Zuo Qiu quickly covered Cheng Shi's mouth, looking helpless. "You can't bully honest people."

"An honest man?" Cheng Shi chuckled. "An honest man can't get above 2300. Alright, this is all just ghost stories, why are you playing the fox spirit? Tell me, brother, I'll trade you some interesting Memory."

"Really?" Zuo Qiu's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing about the Memory collection.

"It's true, but we'll have to see if what you say has any value."

Zuo Qiu nodded, paused for a moment, and then spoke:

"Lele'er is the youngest daughter of the Mother of Prosperity, and was given the Divine Name of the Flourishing Branch. She is one of Her Emissary."

Legend has it that since being born from the Mother Tree, Lele'er has never felt fear. He grew freely, protecting the entire rainforest, until one day Prosperity summoned him again and taught him that not knowing reverence is the beginning of disaster. So he was told to leave the rainforest to find his own fear.

Lele'er. He first summoned countless people in the land under His protection, listening to the reason for their fears. After learning that his people feared death, He went to the distant Void and sought an audience with a True God.

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and continued, "[Death]!"

"Yes, it is indeed [Death], but [Death] did not receive Lele'er, yet it did not neglect Him either."

He sent His Emissary, Garuda, the Butcher of Bones ...

"Wait! What is that... Bone... Butcher?" Cheng Shi blinked, thinking he had misheard. "Could this also be... Divine Name?"

Zuo Qiu nodded and said, "That's right. The Butcher of Bones is Death's most trusted Emissary and the follower of Subgod has followed Him the longest. His Divine Name was also bestowed by Death himself."

"..."

Wow, that the Great One is truly remarkable! So you already possessed an astonishing talent for naming Cosmos in those days!

Is there a problem?

"No, there's absolutely no problem, you can continue."

Zuo Qiu glanced at the bewildered Cheng Shi and continued:

"He had Garuda receive Lele'er, and what happened afterward is unknown to Mortals, but it is recorded in the records of the rainforest tribes:"

Lele'er accepted Garuda's advice and went to the Sea of Desire to seek fear, and then jumped in at Garuda's urging.

But not everyone who can swim can roam freely in the Sea of Desire. Lele'er was clearly deceived, and thus, pulled by his own desires, he degenerated into the Fear Mother Tree, which only absorbs the fear of the Cosmos!

He did find fear, but it was no longer meaningful.

And for this reason, the relationship between prosperity and death is no longer as friendly as before.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi's smile vanished.

Fake!

Lie!

He didn't mean that the history recorded by the Rainforest Tribe was wrong, but that this Zuo Qiu lied when he recounted the end of this history!

Historian have concealed the true history and laid a lie on themselves!

That's interesting. What's he planning to do?

Cheng Shi gave him a meaningful look, then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "That's all?"

"Yes, history seems long and vast, but in reality it is fleeting and short."

After all, the stories that have happened over thousands of years, when written down, amount to nothing more than a few inches of paper, and when they reach our mouths, they are probably just a few moments of playful banter.

So, that's it.

Zuo Qiu smiled wryly and turned to ask, "Alright, isn't it time to tell me about your interesting Memory?"

Cheng Shi smiled brightly and quickly replied, "I am an orphan."

"?"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Zuo Qiu, including the eavesdroppers, was taken aback, especially Jiang Wu Mei, the Dream-Peeking Ranger. He caught a glimpse of Cheng Shi's smile and suddenly realized that Cheng Shi seemed to have long since let go of the past.

That's true. If the world doesn't exist anymore, what is there to be unable to let go of?

Zuo Qiu thought for a few seconds before realizing that this was the Memory Cheng Shi wanted to share. He opened his mouth wide in disbelief. "That's it?"

Cheng Shi nodded calmly. "That's it? Wasn't it exciting?"

"..." Zuo Qiu's face darkened. "Wonderful... wonderful, you really are an orphan."

"..."

You better not be insulting me!

As the two chatted, the group kept changing directions and traveled through the forest for several hours. Even after the Dark Sun had passed its zenith again, they still hadn't found any trace of Eupusca.

Considering that the night was not safe and that no one had a safe way to spend the night, the group turned around and prepared to start walking back from another direction.

But this time they hadn't gone far when, not far from their side, Sighing Tide, like a mountain collapsing, crashed down on them once more.

At the same time, within the billowing mist, a pair of eyes flashing with blue flames suddenly opened, looking coldly and Greed in the direction of the crowd.

Hong Lin and the Hunter were the first to notice the anomaly. They turned around abruptly to their side and saw those blue eyes "rise from the ground" in the mist, getting higher and higher until they reached a height that made it difficult to look up.

Everyone's expression tightened, and they were all shocked.

How can it be so big?!

Fortunately, despite the shock, everyone reacted quickly.

The Druid immediately used the Baptism of Rebirth, the Hunter drew his bow and nocked an arrow, the Puppeteer stepped forward and directed the Mature Sister Puppet to stand in front of everyone, and the Historian opened his history book to prepare to chant the poem of [Memory].

The slacker... no, the Daily Warrior, is hiding behind everyone, ready to defend his teammates' backs, to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, he's letting his teammates get killed first and then waiting for his chance to strike.

Hong Lin frowned slightly as she showered the Newborn's Baptism with the baptismal spray, then asked without turning her head:

What is Destiny?

Cheng Shi was taken aback, then gave a very ambiguous answer, "Not bad?"

But somehow, Hong Lin interpreted "not bad" as "I'm sure I'll win," so she laughed loudly and suddenly switched from defense to offense, lunging forward in front of everyone's astonished gaze.

As she plunged into the tide of Sighing Tide, her body began to Change wildly once more, but this time, what landed was no longer a two-person-tall Jungle Leopard, but a towering, majestic... bear!

A Giant Bear with golden fur and even wearing a helmet!

"Holy crap..."

Cheng Shi looked up at the Giant Bear that didn't seem like a normal creature and finally understood why this [Prosperity] Chosen of God always acted so nonchalantly, wielding some hand-held wooden guns and pretending to be something she'd never seen before – she was no gun-wielding warrior at all!

She really did use her claws, but not cat claws, but bear claws!

Good heavens, what is this thing?!??

"Royal Bear Spirit, the personal guard of [Prosperity], the subordinate in charge of tribal wars, the bald-headed girl... has become stronger again."

"?"

Cheng Shi found this Historian increasingly strange. Staring at the charging Giant Bear, he casually asked, "You know her very well?"

"I don't think so, it's just hearsay."

After all, every "Chosen of God" is someone we low-level players admire. Asking around to get some motivation is never a bad thing. Of course, you don't count Fate Weaver; you're one of the top players, just like her, and belong to the group we're asking about.

Cheng Shi frowned but didn't reply.

Zuo Qiu paused for a moment, then continued, "The reason why the Chosen of God are Chosen of God is not only because they have received [their] approval, but also because they possess extraordinary abilities."

Some people are good at management, some are good at planning, some are good at strategizing, and some are skilled at calculation, but she is different...

"What's different?" This time it wasn't Cheng Shi who asked, but the Hunter.

"She's very good at fighting, extremely good at fighting."

It's important to understand that while warriors in "War" are called Vanguard Warrior, they may not actually be the ones to charge into battle. Among them, there may be commanders who conceal their identities, or cunning strategists who devise plans from behind the scenes.

But the one before you is a true Vanguard Warrior, Druid has never been defeated in the Trials!

She was never the smartest player, but she was the most capable and daring.

A common saying among Peak Player is:

If a bald man is a sharp arrowhead, then no formation can withstand him.

This gives us a glimpse into the situation.

As soon as he finished speaking, two earth-shattering roars echoed from the depths of the mist.

"Roar--"

"Roar!!!"
