Immortality, but people in primitive society

Chapter 317: Large-scale fraud?

Bai Tian didn't have the heart to do what Su Ling said. After all, it was hard for him to kill thousands of people.

After the two discussed, they quickly locked on the breakthrough point to the mangroves in the valley, which those people called the Heavenly Tree.

Those people kept saying that without Jianwu, there would be no Tianshu. They were willing to die because of Tianshu.

However, he couldn't release his spiritual sense in the valley during the day. Without spiritual sense, he couldn't analyze the power characteristics of the red tree in detail.

So, even though there was a group of people blocking the way outside the valley, they still pulled up a mangrove during the day and floated out of the valley.

When they saw Bai Tian coming out, a group of people immediately surrounded him.

He ignored them during the day and released his spiritual sense to carefully investigate the fire tree he brought out.

It's magical. The fire tree is a tree in the valley, but after leaving the valley, it slowly turns into red stone.

This made Bai Tian suddenly understand that these people's power must come from these red stones!

After some analysis, Bai Tian felt more relieved. The Heavenly Tree was actually a Heavenly Stone with fire properties.

No wonder these people are so powerful in battle; it turns out they rely on eating this tree. No wonder they value Jianwu so much, calling him a celestial being; it seems they feel he's supporting them.

According to what we have learned about the intelligent beast during the day, it is very likely that Jianwu is indeed supporting these tribes. It is like a dragon, regularly sending mangroves from the valley to them.

But these people don’t know that it is not Jianwu but this magical valley that feeds them.

This valley is truly miraculous, capable of transforming celestial stones into trees. Furthermore, upon entering the valley, the souls of ordinary people are unexpectedly worn away...

After figuring out the situation, Bai Tian slowly opened his eyes. Seeing a group of people surrounding him but not daring to take action, Bai Tian said with a hint of disdain: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

A man held the big knife tightly and said, "You, who are you and why are you here?"

Bai Tian slowly stood up and replied, "My name is Haotian. You get your strength from the red tree, right? But I don't understand why you're not afraid of Jianwu eating you."

The man looked at his companions, then gritted his teeth and said, "Jianwu is dead. It can only come back to life by eating us."

"Only if Jianwu survives can our tribe continue to survive. Otherwise, everyone will die."

Bai Tian was a little puzzled: "In other words, Jianwu would lose his mind every once in a while... Is that what you call death?"

"Yes, yes."

Bai Tian curled his lips: "Then why do you have to attack me? If Jian Wu dies, I can still give you the Heavenly Tree, right?"

The man said stubbornly, "But if you don't give us the Heavenly Tree and take it all for yourself, what should we do?"

This reason is reasonable!

Bai Tian asked again: "Since you all know Jian Wu is going to die, why are you fighting?"

The man hesitated. Just then, a woman interrupted him, saying, "We're fighting because Jianwu is going to die. If we can seize control of Tiangu before Jianwu dies, and then he comes back to life, Jianwu will give us more Tianshu trees."

"The Lu tribe used this method to obtain a large number of Heavenly Trees, which is why they became so powerful. We can't miss this opportunity, so we have no choice but to fight."

Bai Tian nodded in understanding: "In other words, every time Jianwu is about to die, you will fight, and you are all willing to be eaten by Jianwu."

"If we don't feed Jianwu, our descendants will be eaten, or we may not even have descendants at all." The woman took over.

This seems to be true. It is because of Jianwu that they have the power they have now. Without this power, their living environment would be even worse.

Bai Tian thought for a moment and fixed his eyes on the woman: "I'll help you get the Heavenly Tree, but you have to tell me everything you know, how about that?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other group of people became unhappy.

"No! Tiangu belongs to our Lu tribe. Why would you give them the Tianshu?"

"Yes, give it to us. Otherwise, we will kill you."

My face is dark during the day, and these people always want to kill me. Can't they communicate properly?

Bai Tian ignored the noise and continued to speak to the woman, "I was just passing by and wanted to know something about this Sky Valley. If you are willing to tell me what you know, I can help you get the Sky Tree."

"As for killing me, you don't have the ability to do that. Also, Jianwu is hiding now. Even if you don't cooperate with me, you won't be able to get the Heavenly Tree again, right?"

"If I can solve Jianwu's problem, you won't even have to be eaten by Jianwu. Jianwu can even come back to life."

The woman hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, our Shen tribe promises you."

"You, you can't be partial." The man from the Lu tribe sulked, "We, we can also tell you everything we know..."

Bai Tian glared at him with disdain: "You're not going to kill me anymore? You don't want to be eaten by Jian Wu?"

The cheeks of the people in the Lu tribe twitched, and their expressions became more colorful.

Bai Tian continued, "To be fair, from today on, you will tell me everything you know, and I will give you the same Heavenly Tree regularly."

"Okay!" This time, the people of the Lu tribe agreed eagerly.

So next, the people from the two tribes started talking at once and began to tell Bai Tian about Jianwu's situation.

They also don't know when Jianwu appeared, but it has been a long, long time.

Relying on the Heavenly Tree given by Jianwu, both tribes became strong and their populations increased rapidly. However, disputes and killings followed.

According to them, Jianwu would "die" approximately every 3000 days. Every time Jianwu "died", it would eat many of their people before it could "come back to life". After coming back to life, Jianwu would continue to give them many more Heavenly Trees.

I was speechless when I heard it during the day. It means that a group of people are sent to die almost every ten years, and they are willing to do so!

Bai Tian asked, "Does Jianwu only eat humans? Can it eat animals?"

"It eats people, and usually eats the stronger ones. It doesn't eat children or the elderly."

Damn, he even picked someone to eat!

Bai Tian asked again: "Jianwu seems to be able to speak. Has it told you anything about Tiangu?"

"Yes, Jianwu said that as long as we let it live, it will be good to us. Jianwu also told us everything. Later, we called Jianwu Tianren..."

Um? ?

Why does it sound like they were fooled by Jianwu?
