Chapter 1434: Pregnant Treecorpse

“Well, you don’t need to know.” Li Qiye laughed at the inquisitive girl.

“Hmph, whatever then, I don’t want to listen anyway even if you want to tell me.” She glared at him with dissatisfaction.

Li Qiye was amused at her duplicitous response. Suddenly, his gaze shifted.

The very next second, he pressed his palm on the ground and seemed to be one with the world. He was standing right there, but it looked like he had disappeared from sight.

He stood up again the next moment and pulled Xiaoxiao’s arm: “Let’s go!”

In the blink of an eye, his speed erupted in an incomparable manner. Even time couldn’t compare to this swiftness.

“Where?” She was alarmed by this sudden movement and his rare dignified demeanor.

Even though Li Qiye didn’t answer, she knew that something big has happened. Unfortunately, she didn’t know the exact details.

He crossed this world so fast that Xiaoxiao couldn’t see the surrounding scenes at all. The sight before her rapidly changed and became a shifting image, so she had no idea what kind of world she was in.

Li Qiye seemed to be very familiar with each mountain and river in this area, allowing him to maneuver without the slightest mistake. He eventually stopped, allowing Xiaoxiao to get a better look of her surrounding at last.

She found herself to be in the middle of a large heavenly grotto. She had no clue as to where this was. The ceiling was quite high with rocks as hard as metal everywhere.

They were standing at the entrance of this cave. In front of them was a giant valley below a steep precipice.

When she got a good look at the valley, she was quite startled due to the sheer amount of treecorpses below.

Not only that, she had seen all of them before. These were the ones that wished to relocate back at the Divine Tree Ridge.

She didn’t expect to see them again today. Moreover, the little planks and wooden huts were moved to a corner of the valley here as well. They seemed to be building a fence for a courtyard inside.

They stood in a group of several layers around a dried up tree. It had fallen to the ground and looked just like a large bed.

There was actually the body of a treecorpse lying on this old tree. They were called corpses, but they belonged to the living corpses category. Life was present, only the soul was missing.

However, the body on the tree was a real corpse. It was completely dead without a sliver of life. Judging from its characteristics, this was a female corpse. There was a protrusion on its belly that was big and round. Moreover, it was undulating as if something was inside.

“This is…” Xiaoxiao almost screamed, but she quickly covered her mouth.

She took a deep breath and eventually calmed down: “Is, is it about to give birth?”

“Yes.” Li Qiye nodded with a serious demeanor: “This is really a miracle. I thought treecorpses could only live for one generation, but this doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. They also have a chance to give birth to a completely new life.”

“What happened here?” Many treecorpses had fallen around the dead female. Without a doubt, they had died tragically here.

“Keep watching and you’ll see.” Li Qiye continued to stare at the big belly.

He didn’t dare to think about the birth of this particular race. Was this heralding something ominous? What would be the effect of this on the world? Will the treecorpses surpass the withered in terms of reproduction?
