Chapter 2087: Tree Creatures Chapter 2087: Tree Creatures Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Listening to the Babyâs story, Braydon Neal nodded slowly.
âUnderstood.â Baby being chased by those two made sense.
He had thought there was no danger outside, but due to the random teleportation at the entrance, those two individuals had appeared right beside him.
âOh, by the way, who is this Grandpa Tree youâre talking about?â âGrandpa Tree is Grandpa Tree,â Baby replied, a little confused by the question.
âWhatâs Grandpa Treeâs temperament like?â Braydon asked gently.
Baby immediately beamed with pride.
âGrandpa Tree is the kindest and gentlest being in the world.
Even if I break his branches, he wonât get angry.â Seeing how excited Baby became at the mention of Grandpa Tree, Braydon asked, âThen, can you take me to see Grandpa Tree?
Donât worryââŹâIâm not looking to cause trouble.
I just have some questions for him.â âGrandpa Tree must be incredibly wise,â Braydon added.
Baby nodded eagerly.
âOf course!
Grandpa Tree has lived for nearly a thousand years.
He knows everything.â But then, Babyâs face fell, showing hesitation.
âNo, Grandpa Tree told me not to interact with humans.
Humans are greedy.â Braydon pointed at himself and, with a calm tone, began to persuade him.
âFirst of all, do I look like a bad person to you?â Baby shook his head quickly.
âYouâre a good person!
You saved me, benefactor.â âExactly,â Braydon said.
âSince Iâm your benefactor, Iâm not like those greedy humans Grandpa Tree warned you about.
Right?â Baby seemed to consider this carefully, then nodded.
âAlright, but you have to promise not to do anything bad.
Otherwise, Grandpa Tree will be angry.â Braydon smiled and assured him, âI wonât do anything bad, Baby.
Youâre misunderstanding me.â Satisfied, Baby led Braydon in a particular direction.
They soon came to a small hole in the ground, and Baby stopped.
âBenefactor, youâll see Grandpa Tree once you go through here.
But itâs a tight space.
Can you fit?â Braydon inspected the small opening.
It seemed designed to deter larger creatures like humans.
âDonât worry,â Braydon said, forming a hand seal.
His body shrank instantly.
âAlright, letâs go.â Baby stared at Braydon, now the same size as him, with wide eyes.
âBenefactor, you can shrink too!
WaitââŹâwere you always this small and just pretending to be bigger before?â Braydon glanced at Baby, unsure how to explain.
âAlright, alright.
Letâs not waste time.
Grandpa Tree is waiting.â âGrandpa Tree is waiting?â Baby asked, startled.
âBut werenât we just looking for him?
Are there other grandpas?â Braydon sighed, exasperated.
âItâs Grandpa Tree.
Heâs waiting for us, and if we donât hurry, you might get scolded.â Baby jumped, startled.
âOh no, letâs go!
Grandpa Tree told me to come back early, and I forgot the time.â The tunnel ahead was dark, but to Braydonâs eyes, it was as clear as daylight.
The space wasnât small; it seemed to weave through the roots of a massive tree.
Following Baby, Braydon moved quickly.
After about ten minutes, they emerged into the light.
âWeâre here!â Baby exclaimed.
Braydon noticed plants swaying and whispering to one another.
âI heard Grandpa Tree say that Baby brought a human back,â one murmured.
âBut arenât humans full of greed?â another asked.
âBaby wouldnât bring back someone dangerous, right?â âWhat does it matter?
We still have Grandpa Tree,â a third said.
As Braydon stepped out of the tunnel and returned to his normal size, he looked around at the animated plants.
âI am Lige Guay.
Greetings, everyoneâŚplants,â he said with a polite bow.
âHello, human,â a few plants responded cautiously.
âHuman, are you really full of greed?â one asked.
Braydon smiled.
âAre you all this friendly?
Or do your parents look exactly like you?â The young saplings appeared lost in thought, and Braydon moved forward, following Baby.
Ahead was a vast clearing, and at its center stood a colossal tree whose canopy seemed to touch the sky.
Sunlight streamed through its branches, nourishing the land below.
The treeâs thick bark bore the marks of countless seasons.
Baby approached the tree with his head hung low.
âGrandpa Tree, I know I was wrong.
I shouldnât have wandered off this time.â As Baby spoke, a green light appeared atop the tree.
When it faded, an old man holding a wooden staff stood before them.
He looked frail, but Braydon could sense the immense power within himââŹâa power vast and unending.
This was a level nine transcendent!
In a place like Life and Death Valley, Braydon hadnât expected such a powerful being.
The old man opened his arms and hugged Baby warmly.
âBaby, itâs not that I donât want you to play, but this place is dangerous.
If it werenât for this kind benefactor, would you have made it back safely?â Though his tone was stern, it was filled with care.
Braydonâs mind raced.
How had this old man known everything without being told?
It struck BraydonââŹâBabyâs every move had likely been under Grandpa Treeâs watch.
This had all been a lesson for Baby, carefully orchestrated to show him the dangers of the outside world.
âGrandpa Tree, I understand now,â Baby said softly.
