novelIt Had a Name

This time, Yun Qin saw it clearly. For some reason, when the tree branches and leaves trembled, it sounded like a child's mischievous laughter.
After sitting down again, Yun Qin felt a little helpless. It seemed that she was still afraid of ghosts, but she was not afraid of those that she could sense. For strange things that happened quietly, she admit she was incompetent.
"You are... a tree spirit?"
To escape Yun Qin's detection and not have any evil energy on its body, it seemed that this was a spiritual monster.
The face on the tree trunk had a conflicted expression. Its eyes rolled around with difficulty before it replied, "Uh, you can call me that. Anything is fine."
Before Yun Qin could say anything, the tree spirit added, "I do have a name. My name is Hu Luo. You can call me Luoluo."
The tree spirit, who could speak had a name and a talkative personality, immediately piqued Yun Qin's curiosity. Just like that, the human and the spirit monster began to converse with each other.
"Why did you play a trick on me just now? I thought it was some ignorant brat."
"No, in principle, us trees don't interact with humans. You were the one that sat on my armpit all of a sudden! It tickled me so much I couldn't resist."
"Oh?" Yun Qin moved slightly. Seeing that Hu Luo was about to laugh again, she quickly changed her seat to allow the tree spirit to calm back down.
After sitting down again, Yun Qin asked again, "Why do you have a name? Who gave it to you?"
"Of course my parents. Well, no, it wasn't my parents either..."
The tree spirit thought for a moment and suddenly became depressed."I don't know either."
"What's going on? Aren't you a tree? Where did you learn to speak?" Yun Qin was even more confused. She had never encountered a spiritual monster as such before.
After all, its language skills were much better than the black furball hidden ghost that followed Zhang Yuan for hundreds of years.
When the tree spirit took out a few pieces of well-preserved clothes from under its roots, Yun Qin gradually pieced together the story of "Hu Luo" from the tree spirit's broken memories.
A few decades ago, the tree spirit was just an unenlightened little monster born in Black Bear Ridge by virtue of the terrain in the area.
It could not speak, nor did it have much consciousness. It was just slightly more special than other trees.
One day, a group of people came here. They brought a lot of things. Hu Luo was one of them.
The tree spirit vaguely remembered that before this group of people came here, there had been a lot of people moving around on the other side of the mountain. Then, one day, there was a huge explosion on the mountain not far away, and the entire land shook.
However, this group of people took a detour to come here. 𝗳𝓇ee𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃o𝚟𝘦𝚕 - 🅽🅽novel
The tree spirit felt that they were looking for a specific place.
However, it didn't know what had happened before Hu Luo, who was seriously injured, stumbled into this mysterious forest.
Then, the tree spirit saw a strange-looking thing chasing after Hu Luo. That thing sent Hu Luo flying to its feet. Then, a huge suction force came from the main mountain on Black Bear Ridge and sucked away the huge monster that was chasing Hu Luo.
The tree spirit could feel that the power surging in the monster was completely different from the power in its own body. It was a power that was filled with grief, despair, and coldness.
Although the monster left, Hu Luo could no longer move.
She knelt at the tree spirit's feet and kept vomiting blood. After she finished vomiting, she began to pray, praying that the Heavens could give her a miracle.
When the human at its feet lost her life, the tree spirit realized that it became one with Hu Luo.
It began to have human memories.
After sorting out the story, Yun Qin fell silent.
The explosion that the tree spirit sensed was probably the "huge explosion at Black Bear Ridge Mine." It was that explosion that attracted Hu Luo and the others to come.
As for why Hu Luo and the others came to the backside of the mine was unknown.
"The monster that killed me had an aura similar to yours. Is that the ghost that you mentioned?" The human face on the tree trunk looked at Yun Qin with a hint of sadness mixed in its eyes.
"... Yes, then it was sucked away by the thing in the mountain. It's probably... dead too."
Yun Qin looked at the huge and majestic mountain in the distance and swallowed with some effort.
"Oh...That's good."
The tree spirit did not speak anymore, as if it was thinking about something.
Just as Yun Qin fell into silence as well, the black furball appeared under the tree.
It jumped anxiously and said, "Gone! Gone!"
Even the black furball hidden ghost couldn't find the two little guys? What on earth was going on? Yun Qin was very surprised.
