Chapter 271 The Crisis of the Ancient Tree, the Origin of the Tree of Life Vine
After Su Muyu entered the space of the Ancient Knowledge Tree, Lu Heng and the others followed Serien to the tree house where he lived.
In the tree house, Seren also filled two cups of dew in wooden cups and placed them in front of the two of them.
"If you want, you can drink a little of the dew we received this morning."
"Thank you." Lu Heng said thank you, picked up the cup, put it to his mouth and tasted a little.
The dew is fresh, and you can even smell the green leaves.
Although he had information about this world in his hands, the information was given by the Creator Organization and was incomplete, so Lu Heng needed to confirm some information first.
"Forest elder, can I call you this?" Lu Heng greeted.
"I'm just a forest guard." Seren replied calmly.
Because of their long lifespan, the elves give people the impression that they work slowly and calmly.
"Who is the ruler of the Elf Kingdom now?" Lu Heng began to get to the point.
"It should be Queen Oriana, a very smart little girl." Serien gave this evaluation.
However, Lu Heng could tell from his tone that this comment might have a long history.
What he meant was probably that Queen Oriana was a very smart little girl hundreds of years ago.
In fact, Lu Heng had heard of Queen Oriana's name, and the reason why he asked this question was to determine which period in his memory the time when he was recruited was.
Lu Heng thought deeply and continued to ask: "Is there a great arcanist in the Elf King City now?"
Seren nodded and replied: "Of course, Grand Arcanist Augustus, this is one of our greatest arcanists in Quel'dorei."
Hearing the name of the Great Arcanist Augustus, Lu Heng was sure of one thing. This time was the earliest time he woke up in his memory.
Because in my memory, I heard that the great arcanist Augustus died to protect the elves.
Lu Heng was thinking that the third challenge was to investigate the crisis facing the elves. Could this crisis be the death of the great arcanist Augustus?
After all, Augustus was the only remaining great arcanist in Quel'dorei, and his death was a heavy blow to the elves.
Lu Heng continued to ask: "Are there lichs on the mainland?"
Serien nodded: "Yes, but these undead souls who cannot be seen in the light are hiding underground in the Alsri Mountains, so there is nothing to worry about."
Lu Heng turned his head and pointed at a big tree in the forest and asked: "I saw a layer of black on the trunk. Can this forest still block the invasion of the abyss?"
Speaking of this, Serien's expression became solemn: "It's getting more and more difficult."
Lu Heng felt his weight and knew that the Queldorei elves were indeed facing a huge crisis.
This elven civilization persisted in the abyss invasion for seven hundred years, but in the end it still could not find a way to defeat the abyss.
This continent is being swallowed bit by bit by the abyss.
When one day this forest also falls, the world will fall into the abyss like a landslide.
Lu Heng continued to ask: "Forest Elder, do you know you were recruited?"
Seren closed his eyes lightly and replied: "Of course, the elves have also been recruited."
Like humans, the Quel'dorei elves have been conscripted into other worlds in an attempt to save other civilizations.
Due to the long lifespan of elves, seven hundred years have passed, and there are still elder elves who have experienced the pre-abyss era, so the civilization inheritance of the elves has hardly been lost.
This is also the reason why the Quel'dorei elves were able to maintain the structure of the kingdom.
This is different from the Dark Iron Dwarves and Banser people. These two groups have migrated many times and many of their civilizational heritages have been lost.
Lu Heng asked many questions, and originally wanted to continue asking.
After answering the previous question, Seren turned to ask: "Your world has also been invaded by the abyss, right?"
Lu Heng nodded: "Yes, the abyss has been falling for a year."
Seren nodded and said: "As expected, I can't tell what type of civilization you are. It seems to be a mixture of multiple forces."
Lu Heng explained: "We should be a technological civilization. Before the abyss came, there was no magic, no source energy, and no supernatural power."
Seren smiled and said: "To be precise, magic is also a natural force."
Lu Heng understood what he meant. In fact, it was just a contextual and cognitive deviation.
In human thinking, forces other than technology are all supernatural forces.
However, in the magical world, magic is equivalent to human technology and is a natural force.
Lu Heng did not explain much, smiled and asked: "Can I ask this question now? Why did you let my companion go in to see the ancient tree of knowledge?"
Seren fell silent, obviously hiding something.
Lu Heng frowned, feeling something was wrong, and asked: "Nine people were recruited, why was she only allowed to see the ancient tree of knowledge?"
In fact, Lu Heng had been thinking about the reason just now.
If it's gender, that's not true because Blake Fielder has a blonde on his team.
Why choose Su Muyu alone?
At first, Lu Heng was a little worried, but after thinking about it seriously, he felt that there should be no danger.
First of all, this is what Therian allowed.
In other words, if Su Muyu is in danger, it can only be because of Serien's problem.
However, this time he teleported directly to the Moon Shadow Forest and appeared in the tree house.
If Serien really has a problem, he can take action when it is teleported over.
Moreover, recruitment will not lead to a real dead end. Even if you are teleported to prison, there will definitely be a chance of escape.
But the forest elder in front of him, according to Su Muyu's energy induction, was over level 42, and there was no upper limit.
The entire forest obeys his call, and if he really wants to take action, it will be a dead end.
Blake Fielder had offended him to such an extent just now, but he didn't even kill him.
The three of them have not offended him and should not be treated maliciously by him.
The more silent Serien became, the more Lu Heng felt something was wrong.
Lu Heng asked again: "Why only choose her?"
Seren sighed and replied: "Because she has the essence of the ancient tree in her body, and you humans have taken away the essence of the ancient tree."
When Lu Heng heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to draw his sword as soon as he moved his fingers, but in the end he held it back.
This moment.
Lu Heng thought about the reason why he chose Su Muyu to enter the ancient tree space, because she had the essence of the [Tree of Life Vine].
At the beginning, I didn't think about it.
Now that I heard Serien's words, I finally understood what was going on.
[Tree Vine of Life] The source of essence is obtained from the Creator Organization. At the beginning, I did not delve into the origin of this source of essence, but now I know.
This source of essence turned out to be stolen from the ancient tree of knowledge by the Creator Organization, and ended up in Su Muyu's body.
Su Muyu came to this forest because she was recruited again, and was sent into the ancient tree space by Seren.
If this is the case, Su Muyu may be in danger.
Lu Heng quickly turned his head to look in the direction of Chongmingniao and shouted: "Mu Yu!"
No response, Chongming Bird has no response.
When this happens, there is only one possibility. The ancient tree space isolates the connection between the summoned object and its owner.
The connection between the summoned object and its owner cannot be extended indefinitely, and there are rules and restrictions.
For example, if the distance is too far, the summoned object will lose control.
Or, entering a special space, disconnecting due to spatial isolation.
Now that the Chongming Bird has no response, it means that the ancient tree space that Su Muyu entered has cut off the connection between her and the Chongming Bird.
Lu Heng suddenly became nervous, jumped up and rushed out, rushing into the forest passage, looking for the ancient tree door just now.
However, after rushing into the forest passage, Lu Heng found that he could not find the ancient tree door.
This forest is like a maze. No matter how hard you run, shuttling between giant trees, you can't find the path you just remembered.
Lin Zeyu followed, shouting: "Where are you going? Wait for me."
Lu Heng's speed was too fast. He lost track of him not long after chasing him, and he was also lost. ……
A moment later, Lu Heng ran back from the forest, walked up to Serien with his sword in hand, and said in a deep voice:
"If you are joking, this joke is not funny at all. If you really want to hurt her, then I will have no choice but to do it."
Serien sat there quietly and pressed his hands: "Why should young people be so impulsive? Sit down and wait for a while."
Lu Heng refused to sit down and asked: "Tell me, where is she now?"
Seren sighed and said: "She is in the ancient tree space."
Lu Heng continued to ask: "What are you going to do to her?"
Seren still maintained a calm expression and replied: "At most, it will retrieve the tree of life vines, which will not harm her life. You just wait."
Lu Heng took a deep breath and thought quickly in his mind.
So far, the elf elder has shown no clear malevolence.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If he just takes back Su Muyu's [Tree of Life Vine] essence, even though he loses the essence, at least his life will not be in danger.
The only thing I'm worried about now is, will the Creator organization take away the tree vine of life, causing him to be angry with the three of them?
Should we risk subduing him first?
If you can subdue him, you will at least be invincible.
A sharp light flashed in Lu Heng's eyes, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the place. He used the void to flash and appeared behind Serien, and then slashed at his neck with his sword.
Seren didn't move from beginning to end, sitting there quietly.
Lu Heng's sword struck three millimeters away from his neck and stopped, and asked in a deep voice: "Why don't you fight back?"
Seren chuckled and replied: "You are bullying me for my slow reaction. I know you don't really want to take action. I will wait here with you. After your companions come out, you can decide what to do. ”
Lu Heng thought for a moment, took back the Aurora Blade, walked back to him and sat down, thinking in his mind, what would happen to Su Muyu?
Twice in a row, the two consecutive recruitments were to deal with the mess of certain groups.
The last time he was recruited into the world of the Dark Iron Dwarves, the Lionheart Empire took away the Dark Iron Dwarves' quenching furnace.
This time he was recruited into Quel'dorei, but the Creator Organization took away the source of the ancient tree of knowledge.
The difference is that this time Su Muyu brought back the ancient tree essence that the Creator Organization had snatched away.
Lu Heng thought of these things, an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked: "So we were recruited here not by accident, but by your guidance."
Seren closed his eyes lightly and replied: "Yes, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge predicted that someone would bring back the Tree of Life, so I used magic to pull it. Unexpectedly, there were a lot of people coming."
Lu Heng slowly calmed down and then asked: "You didn't take action at first, were you observing us?"
Seren smiled with interest again and replied: "After you calm down, your thinking is relatively clear. The whole forest is my eyes, and I am indeed observing you."
Lu Heng continued: "In other words, if you find out that we are related to the humans who stole the source of the Tree of Life, you will take action, right?"
Seren admitted frankly: "Yes, if you were the ones who took away the Tree of Life, I would take action. The Quel'dorei are friendly most of the time, but that doesn't mean we can tolerate humiliation and bullying."< br>
Lu Heng exhaled and said: "I exchanged the essence of the Tree of Life Vine for the essence of the Shadow Knight. If you must take back the essence of the Tree of Life, I agree. But one thing I want to make clear is that we are too Victim.”
Seren looked calm and replied: "Don't worry, the ancient tree of knowledge will make a decision."
……
at the same time.
In the ancient knowledge tree space.
After Su Muyu entered this space, she found that the connection with Chongming Bird was disconnected.
She was a little worried, but since she came in, she wanted to see the situation clearly before thinking about how to get out.
She walked towards the old tree in the middle.
After getting closer, she found that there were many traces of battles on this ancient tree of knowledge, with knives and axes cutting it, fire and ice, all clearly visible to her eyes.
When she saw these scars, Su Muyu seemed to feel pain in her body, as if these wounds were cut on her body.
She rubbed her arms, corrected her body's perception, and tried to communicate: "Hello, are you an ancient tree of knowledge? Can you speak?"
No response.
Su Muyu waited for a while, then stepped closer. Because her body strangely felt the pain on the ancient tree of knowledge, she reached out and touched the cutting edge of the tree trunk.
At this moment, the source matter in the body seemed to come alive.
A green tree of life vine grew on her palm, climbing up the ancient tree of knowledge, as if licking the wounds of the ancient tree.
Su Muyu was stunned for a moment, feeling that the source of energy in her body was passing quickly, and she subconsciously wanted to take back the source of energy, but in the end she did not do so.
After a while, the source of energy in her body was almost exhausted.
At this time, a distant and long voice echoed in the space of the ancient tree.
"Humans, you took away my life tree vine."
"Ah?" Su Muyu's eyes widened, finally realizing the seriousness of the problem.
At this moment, she finally understood why she could feel the pain of cutting and axe-cutting on the ancient tree.
She quickly explained: "The source of my tree of life vine was exchanged for other sources."
"I know, and the life tree vine on your body is incomplete." The deep and distant voice continued to echo in the ancient tree space.
Su Muyu thought of a lot in an instant. She was a little reluctant, but still asked: "Do you want me to return the Tree of Life to you?"
"Would you do that?"
"But...it's okay. I'll try to find another source of essence. That's because my companions and I were recruited and need to face powerful enemies. Without the source of essence, I may hold them back." Su Muyu knew the source of essence in his body. It was snatched from an ancient tree. Although she didn't snatch it herself, she still felt very guilty.
The ancient tree space became quiet.
After a while, Su Muyu took the initiative and asked: "Can you take back the source of the Tree of Life Vine? It is very difficult for me to separate the source."
Generally speaking, the source of energy that has not been completely integrated in a person with superpowers will be precipitated after death.
In addition, if you want to separate out the source matter, you need to use special methods.
It was quiet for a long time, and then the distant voice sounded again: "You can take the tree vine of life to fight. The tree vine of life is willing to accept you, which means you have the qualifications."
Su Muyu was stunned for a moment and asked: "You mean, leave the tree vine of life to me?
The distant voice echoed again: "Let's make a deal. Before you return, come back here and hand back the Tree of Life. Can you do it?"
Su Muyu thought about it for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Yes, as long as I can come back."
"Go ahead."
A gust of wind blew in the ancient tree space, blowing Su Muyu up, passing through a layer of light film, and disappeared.
The next moment, Su Muyu found herself in the forest passage.
In front of him is the door of the ancient tree, but this door is slowly closing.
The vines of the ancient tree grew into the passage, entangling the entire circular passage, and the door of the ancient tree disappeared.
Su Muyu was shocked as she watched the ancient tree gate disappear.
What she had just experienced was beyond her imagination.
Moreover, she now feels a force surging within her body, which is a very powerful force.
She quickly took a look at the attribute panel and found that the level had been raised to level 33, and all attributes had increased by 4 points.
In addition, there is another buff called [Blessing of Ancient Trees].
[Blessing of the ancient tree: Obtain the blessing from the ancient tree of knowledge, +10 points in spirit, +30% life recovery speed, and +30% source energy recovery speed. Obtaining the protection of the ancient tree, the source of the Life Tree Vine is increased, the healing ability is increased by 30%, and the Life Tree Vine's growth speed is +30%. Duration: 30 days. 】
Su Muyu was even more surprised after seeing the effect of this [Ancient Tree Blessing].
The effect of this blessing is a bit strong, almost enhancing the ability of the source essence of [Tree of Life and Vine] by one level.
Moreover, mental power +10 points, which is more than what the dragon eye gemstone bracelet adds.
You must know that the Dragon Eye Gemstone Bracelet is an A-grade jewelry and only adds 9 points of mental power.
The only pity is that this [Ancient Tree Blessing] only lasts for 30 days.
Seeing this duration, Su Muyu already knew why the Ancient Tree of Knowledge gave this blessing, which was to enhance her strength in the abyss battlefield.
In other words, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge knew her identity and that she was here to help the Quel'dorei elves.
This is regarded as a blessing in the form of thanks, and it is also used to increase the combat power of the draftees and better help Quel'dorei fight against the abyss.
