Chapter 43: Leiden
Lingya walked in front of herself, and Chu Lingxun followed closely behind.
The intricate branches of the trees form an intricate system of transportation, where the spirits who are familiar with it feel like a fish in water, while those who are not familiar with it feel limited at every turn.
Even if Chu Lingxun followed Lingya's footsteps, he felt very uncomfortable, for example, he could only take his right foot in the position where he should have taken his left foot, and walked into a catwalk step.
The surrounding elves had the same strange attitude as Lingya had said before, but that was all.
The surrounding elves couldn't help but glance at him when Chu Ling was passing by, and even the elves who were talking would stop the content of the conversation and look at him.
Chu Lingxun felt like a monkey touring around, and he was looked at everywhere he went.
Thinking about it from another perspective, if you see an elf in a human city, the fluctuation will definitely be much greater than it is now, which also indirectly proves that the cultivation and etiquette of these elves are indeed good.
All the way to peace and quiet, until an elf who looked old came and saluted Lingya.
Lingya began to get up with the old elf, and Chu Lingxun couldn't understand a word of the conversation, so he thought it should be in elven language.
After talking, the old elf left, and Lingya continued to move forward with Chu Lingxun.
"That was the elder here, and he asked me why I brought humans here. Lingya explained softly to Chu Lingxun.
"Then what do you say?, and your elven clan's attitude towards other races is too friendly, right?" Chu Lingxun recalled some legends he had heard before.
Most humans who encounter elves will do it directly, and the elves they catch can be sold for a very high price.
Therefore, the attitude of the elven race towards the human race should not be like this, Chu Lingxun is ready to be beaten.
"Hmm... There are some reasons for this, but the elves are indeed unfriendly to the human race. Lingya said.
"That's pretty much it. Chu Lingxun felt that this was normal, "What is the reason why you can bring a human race into the elven city?"
"Don't ask. Lingya said.
"Uh, okay. Chu Lingxun closed his mouth.
Follow Lingya all the way unimpeded, and come to the teleportation array area on the Elven Tree, where there are several teleportation arrays, all of which emit a faint light.
Ling Ya took Chu Lingxun into a teleportation array, and the teleportation array was then activated.
There was a blur in front of me, then it became pitch black, and then the scene that appeared in front of me had changed, and although it was still on the tree, it was not the same place as before.
Ling Ya took Chu Lingxun to use several teleportation arrays in a row, and finally arrived at the destination.
The environment here was a little different from before, and Chu Lingxun could actually see the withered yellow leaves on the branches.
You know, the Elven Tree you passed before this was full of vibrant green leaves.
Chu Lingxun also understood, this was most likely the reason why he came, the elven tree here... It should be said that it is a tree of nature, something went wrong.
I didn't know where I was going, Chu Lingxun followed Lingya and walked among the branches.
It was indeed much larger than any of the original elven trees, with thicker branches.
Arriving at a palace, Lingya directly pushed the door and walked in, and there were a few old elves inside who were similar to the elders and dresses that Chu Lingxun had seen before, sitting together and discussing something.
Seeing Lingya and Chu Lingxun walking in, they were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chu Lingxun.
"Is this?" asked one of the elders.
Obviously, because Chu Lingxun is here, what he says is the lingua franca of the world, and it is also the language used by human beings.
"He's eaten the force of nature, and his blood should be useful for Leiden's problems. Lingya said.
"That's great, if you can solve this problem, little friend, then you will be my friend in Leiden Elf City from now on. One of the elders said.
"Without further ado, let's go. β
Chu Lingxun followed them out of the palace and came outside.
Following a few elders to the side of the main trunk of the natural tree, several elders reached out and stroked the trunk, as Lingya had done before, closed their eyes and began to communicate.
After a while, another branch stretched out, and after a few people went up to stand still, the branch began to descend diagonally with the crowd.
Instead of descending to the ground, it went to the bare and branchless area below.
Chu Lingxun saw a scene, this scene almost became a psychological shadow for him, and a huge face appeared out of thin air on the originally bare trunk.
It is said that it is a face, but in fact there are only two holes and a horizontal slit, the two holes represent the eyes, and the crack is the mouth.
The face was huge, and the size of its mouth alone was enough to swallow everyone present at once.
This face still has an expression when it appears, as if it is confused.
"You gaha?" the voice was rough, like a few pieces of wood rubbing.
Chu Lingxun didn't pay attention to the voice, he focused on ...... What's going on with this god-like Northeast accent?
"That's right, Leyton, this human who has eaten the forces of nature may be able to help you. One of the elders said.
The huge face turned to Chu Lingxun, and saw Chu Lingxun staring at him in a daze, without blinking his eyes.
"What do you look at, human?" asked the huge face.
Chu Lingxun was really shocked just now, so he didn't understand the current situation, and replied without thinking about it: "Look at you?"
...... There was silence, deathly silence.
Chu Ling came back to his senses and found that he seemed to have done something terrible.
Be confident, remove the like, Chu Lingxun's head was big, and he hurriedly said: "Eh, this big brother tree is a bit interesting, how do you say the universal language?"
"I have a name, my name is Layton. The huge face was still looking at Chu Lingxun with a look of surprise.
"Oh, Brother Layton, that's a good name, mighty and domineering. Chu Lingxun was seen in a cold sweat.
"You human is a little interesting, how long ago was the last time I met a human? Leiden stared at Chu Lingxun for a while, and said slowly.
The next thing shocked Chu Lingxun again, he never expected that this huge face that looked so terrifying would actually be... It's actually a chatterbox.
Opening the conversation, Leiden began to talk to himself, talking about the past for a while, and talking about the troubles of the elders present when they were young.
Several elders' faces darkened, and they hurriedly interrupted: "Leiden, get down to business, get down to business." β
"Oh oh, business, business... Hmm~ The old elf next to you is called... I don't remember what it was called, it didn't matter, what mattered was that when he was a child, he peed on my knees..."Layton said farther and farther he went.
The old elf in Layton's mouth, that is, one of the elders, almost didn't blow up.
"Well, yes, human friend, this Layton has been wounded once before. He quickly interrupted Layton.
"The resilience of the Elven Tree was originally extremely strong, but I didn't expect that the wound was getting bigger and bigger, and we needed the power of the force of nature to repair it. When he had finished talking about the problem, the elder breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh yes, it's a little tickling there. Layton added.
Then I saw a wound-like crack move from another part of the tree.
"That's it. "Leiden Nunu mouthed.
"Friend of humanity, I haven't asked for your name yet. β
"Don't dare to ask for advice, Chu Lingxun. Chu Lingxun reported his name.
"Chu Ling Xun Xiaoyou, the blood in your body contains the power of nature, you only need to drip it in. After the elf elder finished speaking, he also handed over a Xiuzhen's knife very thoughtfully.
Chu Lingxun took the knife and cut open his palm, clenched his fist and stretched it out.
Blood seeped out from under the fist and dripped into the cracks.
"Hmm... Oh... Ah~ comfortable. Layton made a strange sound from his mouth.
"Hey, big brother, are you a tree, okay?" Chu Lingxun sweated wildly in his heart.
The crack was visible to the naked eye and began to heal, and it looked like it was about to come back together, but suddenly, the inside flickered, and then cracked again.
"Ang ~ It's so itchy." Layton made another strange noise.
Ignoring Leiden, the crowd looked at the cracks. For this crack that was about to heal and crack again, everyone was confused.
He didn't even want him to stop, Chu Lingxun was still dripping blood into the cracks.
The effect of the force of nature is indeed strong, diluted in his blood I don't know how many times, it still contains such a powerful power.
That knife is powerful, Chu Lingxun found that his hand had not yet scabbed, and his head began to be a little dizzy, but Leiden's wound was still not healed.
"What's going on, why is it like this every time?" Chu Lingxun withdrew his hand and asked.
"It's... We don't know either. An elder helped Chu Lingxun treat his wound, and the bleeding stopped.
They didn't embarrass Chu Lingxun, and they also knew that something must be wrong now.
"I can only trouble Chu Ling to find a little friend, the blood of the force of nature cannot be stored, I hope you can stay here for a while, we will study and study." Elven Elder said.
The attitude of the elven clan is really speechless, Chu Lingxun's strength is low, and he is a human being, it is obvious that it is okay to arrest him and lock him up, these elders have really been laughing here.
"Can you let me try it?" Chu Lingxun thought of one thing: scattered runes.
"I don't know how?"
"Do you know about the Primordial Pattern?"
"It turns out that Xiaoyou, you are still an original tattoo master? It's our clumsiness, you can try it, it would be great if it could have an effect. β
Chu Lingxun just wanted to try, but suddenly thought that he had no soul crystals, and it was okay to write a simple handwriting, but it was really impossible to write trigger runes.
"Hmm... I don't know if you can borrow me a few soul crystals?" Although Chu Lingxun had a lot of them in the Soul Forgetting Dream Realm, he couldn't get them now.
"Thisβ" several elders looked at each other, "I don't know what you want soul crystals for, but we really don't have soul crystals on us. β
"What?" Chu Lingxun was stunned.
