Chapter Fifty-Nine: Tix
The statue's mouth is large, essentially a portal, and at the throat is a staircase that leads down to the dark depths.
That's where the water comes from.
Bottom-up flow.
It seems that there is indeed something else in this.
Su Shen still released the natural disaster insect and let it explore the path in front, while he followed behind step by step.
Descending the stairs, there is a narrow passage in front of you, surrounded by thorns.
Su Shen tried it and found that these thorns were extremely hard, and it was not easy to cut them, even if they were burned, they couldn't be burned.
Just as he was looking at it, suddenly an object flew out of the thorns and shot Su Shen's face sharply.
Su Shen turned his head and flashed, and after the object missed, it automatically spun around in the air, and continued to shoot back at Su Shen.
Su Shen had already shot out a wisp of wind and hit the thing.
Hearing a snap, the thing was shot down by Su Shen's finger, burst on the spot, and fell to the ground, flowing out of miserable green thick water, but it turned out to be a big beetle.
Looking at the strong corrosion emitted by the liquid falling on the ground, it is obviously also highly toxic.
As soon as this beetle died, countless identical beetles appeared in the moment of brushing in the thorn bushes, flying towards Su Shen together.
"Not a lot. Su Shen raised his hand and slashed out a palm wind.
I didn't expect those beetles to swoop back into the thorn bushes.
The palm wind slashed, and the thorns swayed, and the power of Su Shen's palm was resisted.
"Huh?" Su Shen sighed softly: "It turned out to be the thorn of dead silence." ”
Su Shen finally knew what this was.
The Thorn of Silence is a rather troublesome plant, unique to the Dark Spirit Race, which is not only tough and unbreakable, but also able to resist attacks from the source.
As for that kind of beetle, it's a dark beetle.
The Dark Beetle and the Thorn of Silence coexist, the Thorn of Silence provides the necessary protection for the Dark Beetle, the Dark Beetle inhabits the Thorn of Silence, their droppings are the nutrients that the Thorn of Silence needs to grow, and their flight will sow the seeds of the Thorn of Silence, forming more areas of Silence, and also expanding their living area.
The two depend on each other, resulting in a strong and unique symbiotic relationship.
So after seeing this scene, Su Shen knew what he had encountered.
The combination of the Silent Thorn and the Dark Beetle was quite difficult to deal with, and Su Shen had to pass this level first if he wanted to pass, and he didn't have much time.
At this time, those dark beetles had already flown out again after dodging Su Shen's attack.
Su Shen straightforwardly released the natural disaster insects.
He entered with a Shaking Light Phantom, and he didn't bring many scourge insects, but it was enough to deal with the current situation.
The Scourges are the supreme insects, and when the Dark Beetle still needs to use the power of the Thorn of Silence to protect itself, the Scourges directly rely on themselves to ignore the power of the Dominant. So as soon as they appeared, the powerful aura they emitted directly shocked those dark beetles, and the instinct of low-level beings made them lie dormant on the spot.
Even so, the scourge insects rushed over unrelentingly, and a killing began.
The protection of the thorns of silence has no effect on the natural disaster insects that are also insects, they rush directly into the thorn bushes, use the thorn area as the battlefield, and start a fight, and the thorn bushes will continue to drop insect corpses. At that moment, insects could be seen crawling everywhere, and insects were falling all the time, but in a short moment, the dark beetle was eaten by the scourge insects, and even those dead thorns were eaten up.
The originally troublesome wall defense was broken like this, and Su Shen stepped on the insect corpses all over the ground, making a creaking sound and entering.
"Su Shen, are you okay?" next to his ears was Gu Qingluo's concern through the incarnation.
"It's fine, there's a little bit of a barrier in there, but it's not a problem. Su Shen explained the situation on the road as he walked, so that Gu Qingluo could feel at ease.
"Dead Thorns, isn't that something unique to the Darklings? they usually use to guard their tombs. Gu Qingluo said.
"Yes. Now it seems that the statue was not built by Koenig, but by some Dark Elve, or simply by the Elven. Su Shen said: "Koenig just discovered this place and then put it to use. ”
"That's right. But since it's a spirit tomb, you have to be careful. Those are all undead monsters, even if they are buried in the soil for 10,000 years, it is not strange that they will suddenly attack you after digging them out. Gu Qingluo reminded.
"I know. Provided that Koenig didn't dig him up. ”
Su Shen wasn't the first person to come here, Koenig came before him.
If there were any monsters, Koenig should have enjoyed them first.
As for the Thorn of Silence, it was not surprising that this extremely fertile and regenerative thing would reproduce again after Koenig was gone.
The fact was indeed as he expected, along the way, Su Shen encountered some mechanisms and guardian source arrays one after another, but they were all destroyed.
The only mechanisms that have really survived to this day are actually the white light from the statue's eyes and the path of thorns. The path of thorns is regeneration, and the white light may have been deliberately kept by Koenig - as long as it is not a prohibition that must be broken, he is also trying to keep it as much as possible, so as to become a natural barrier to the death of the deep sea.
Walking all the way along the water, finally, Su Shen came to an open field.
It looks like it's a small hole in the sky.
Because Su Shen saw the sky.
It was an open space, and in the middle of it was a waterhole, and in the waterhole grew a huge tree that was incomparably tall and towering.
And it was from that tree that the water flowed.
From that upside-down slip of paper.
Seeing this scene, Su Shen was also stunned.
Although he had wondered what the Deep Sea Death was, he had never thought that it would be a tree.
Yes, this tree is the Death of the Deep.
Its roots are rooted in the water, and the waterhole should be the one that leads to the outside sea.
The roots draw water from the waterhole, and the branches release water, passing through themselves, taking with them essentia.
The essentia that allows life to evolve comes from the tree itself!
Suddenly, Su Shen understood.
The Death of the Deep was not invented by Koenig.
It was he who found out.
He just found the tree and put it to use.
Maybe the process in between is still extremely complicated, but the truth about the death of the deep sea is actually so simple and uninteresting.
A tree!
A tree that can provide the essence of life evolution!
It was transformed into a deep-sea creature that changed the entire sea, and plagued the sea tribe for 20,000 years.
"That's exactly what happened. Gu Qingluo, who was outside, was also speechless when she heard Su Shen's discovery.
After thinking about it, she asked, "Then all we have to do now is destroy this tree?"
"Nope. Su Shen had already denied it: "This is a divine tree, a divine tree that can provide a steady stream of evolutionary essentia. If you can plant it in Wanjian Mountain, what do you think the result will be?"
Gu Qingluo immediately said: "You think well, but don't forget, this tree has been changed by Koenig. All beings who have gained great power through this tree will follow the instructions hidden in this tree to protect the giant tree and attack the Sea Clan. ”
"Then get rid of that command. Su Shen already said: "If he can implant the order, I can erase it." ”
With the Bone Scepter here, it's really not impossible.
"And how do you take it?"
"Let's ask the scepter. Su Shen simply played a scoundrel.
But just as he took out the scepter, a puff of smoke suddenly rose in front of the tree.
Then an illusory figure appeared in front of the tree.
It was an old man-like spirit who had just appeared, and as soon as it appeared, he said, "The Scepter of Bones, the Staff of Transcendence, I finally see you." ”
Belch......
Su Shen looked at the spirit body: "Spirit Clan?"
The spirit in front of him was clearly a spirit race, but it looked different from the ordinary spirit race - his legs went all the way deep into the tree, as if he had grown out of a tree.
"Human! The Bone Scepter has actually entered the hands of a human, are those barbarian tyrants finished?" the spirit asked Su Shen.
"They still exist, but their treasures no longer belong to them. Looks like you know the scepter, too?"
"Oh, how could I not know? That's what I've been pursuing. Bone Scepter...... If my operation had succeeded in obtaining the Bone Scepter, I wouldn't have ended up like this. ”
The old spirit clan sighed.
Tix?
This name is a little familiar, but Su Shen can't remember it for a while.
The old spirit clan had already asked Su Shen, "What time is it?"
"The Nova is twenty-six thousand years. Su Shen replied.
"Twenty thousand years, I have been asleep for twenty thousand years. The old spirit clan said.
Su Shen outside turned to Gu Qingluo and said, "Your words have come true, and sure enough, an old guy who has been buried for 20,000 years jumped out." ”
Su Shen inside remembered something, and his eyes lit up: "Tix? You said your name is Tix? You are a three-character name, so you should be a member of the Elders' Council of the Spirit Clan?"
"That's right, and the Supreme Elder. Tix replied proudly.
The naming rules of the spirit clan are very simple, ordinary spirit clans have only one word as their name, medium spirit clans are two words, members of the presbyterian council have three-character names, and patriarch four-character names with a prefix.
Because of this, the history of the Spirit Race is quite easy to remember, because they have few people, unlimited lifespan, simple names, and a history of 20,000 years, and there may be only a few hundred big people who can say their names.
This situation also leads to the fact that there are almost no duplicate names in the upper echelons of the Spirit Race.
And Tix is one of the more famous figures in the history of the Spirit Clan.
As he claimed, he was indeed the supreme elder of the Presbyterian Church at the time of his disappearance, second only to the patriarch.
However, he can be remembered by future generations because of the great impact his disappearance has had on the Spirit Race.
It was his disappearance that made the Elven Eternal Fountain project completely fail.
It was also because of his disappearance that he laid the groundwork for the later pregnancy disaster.
It can be said that this Great Elder has had a significant impact on the future development of the Spirit Race, but unfortunately it is all negative.
It's just that he doesn't even know this now.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Su Shen understood something.
He exclaimed, "It turns out that the Death of the Deep Sea is the Source of Eternity!"
