Chapter 105: The Ancient Temple: Part II
However, Tress reacted very quickly, and he teleported a few meters back, only to see a strange-looking ancient creature in front of him, which looked like a beast composed of horses, giraffes, and bears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tress had prepared the Hunter's Bow and was ready to draw the bow and arrows to strike first, but the ancient creatures in front of him had no intention of taking the initiative.
"Arthurs, come here, you don't hurt it, it won't attack people. A soft woman's voice came.
Tress put away her hunter's bow, the woman in front of her was about eighteen years old, her long golden shawl hair was as soft as gold thread, she wore a headband made of olive leaves, a pair of ice blue pupils full of tenderness, she looked like a fairy, and her figure was slender, she was wearing a light blue gauze with slanted shoulders, and a pair of small brown sheepskin boots at her feet. Holding a white oak scepter in his hand, he looks very glamorous and refined, and does not eat the fireworks of the world.
"Who are you, why did you come to my ancient temple, I remember the last time humans appeared, it was a hundred years ago, when they were ready to steal the treasures in my temple, but of course they were scared off by Arthurs. ”
The woman said softly.
Tress heard it a hundred years ago, it's too weird, the girl in front of her is about eighteen years old, she was alive a hundred years ago, so how old does she have to be now?
"Please forgive me, I came here accidentally, and I didn't mean to disturb you, but why is there an ancient temple in the Ice Mushroom Forest, I want to ask your honorable name. Tress said humbly.
"I'm not a human, I'm a descendant of the Old Gods, I'm nine hundred and nine years old this year, and I've grown up here since I was born, except for my pet Arthurs, it's this temple, by the way, my name is Astraea. ”
The woman still spoke softly.
Tress was very shocked, the young girl in front of her was actually a descendant of the ancient god clan, and she was already nine hundred and nine years old, but her appearance was so young, the legendary ancient god clan really existed.
Seeing Tress's surprised and incredulous expression, Astereaa smiled sweetly and said, "Don't you believe it? The stone-clawed beast next to me, it has survived for a thousand years, it is a creature of the primeval era, but it is their descendant, it has grown up with me since childhood, it has a gentle personality, it is not as ferocious as other ancient creatures, it is just the leaves of edible plants, and it is all walking in the forest by relying on it, in addition to Arthurs, I have another pet, the two of them have grown up here with me, and have spent nearly a thousand years, and my existence is to protect the treasures in the temple. ”
Tress suddenly realized and said, "I see, the ancient gods still have descendants and treasures here, but there are so many beasts here, how did you survive here." ”
"Of course I can survive here, those large beasts don't dare to attack me, because I have the blood of the ancient gods in my body, and they are in awe of the blood of the ancient gods, so I am here, and there will be no beasts that will come to hurt me, but I am worried that those insatiable Terrans will attack me for the legendary treasures, but as the descendants of the ancient gods, I have a way to repel these ignorant humans, but now the Terrans are becoming more and more advanced, and the large beasts in the forest are not even the opponents of the Terrans, they have advanced shells and tanks that can walk on the ground in the forest,Mecha driving freely in the sky,There are also large ships that can go deep into the bottom of the sea,In short, the human race is getting stronger and stronger,As the surviving ancient gods,I think the human race can be said to be a demon-like existence,I'm worried that if I leave the world,The ancient creatures in the ice mushroom forest will be killed by the human race.。 ”
Astrella said with a sigh.
Tress was very sad when he heard this, recently they were fighting and training in the Ice Mushroom Forest, as well as looking for ingredients, and they did consume a lot of ancient creatures, but they didn't want to carry out a killing attack on the forest, they just wanted to train and survive in the Ice Mushroom Forest.
"But we are here for combat training, the purpose is to be able to survive here, and we don't want to carry out large-scale killing, and the beasts here will take the initiative to attack us, we are just to protect ourselves and survive. Tress said.
"I'm not talking about you, but those people from a hundred years ago, they drove large tanks and mecha to the Ice Mushroom Forest, not only cut down trees and ore everywhere, but also hunted countless ancient creatures, and wanted to get close to my temple, fortunately, I have laid a magic crystal enchantment, and finally they went back with countless ores and hunted ancient creatures and a large amount of wood, this catastrophe, for the entire Ice Mushroom Forest, caused a great disaster, causing many ancient species of creatures to be on the verge of extinction, under my full protection, after a hundred years of reproduction, here finally returned to a peaceful time。 Astrella recounted quietly.
"A hundred years ago, if I'm not mistaken, the ancient books in the library record that a hundred years ago, the Muspelheim Empire, in order to get the treasures of the legendary ancient gods, through the ability of magicians, opened the door to the dimensional space and came to the Ice Mushroom Forest, but they didn't get any treasures, did you repel them. Tress asked.
"Yes, although I am only one person, but I relied on the holy weapon of the ancient gods, defeated their entire legion and a large number of high-level mages, a hundred years have passed, the insatiable human race still refuses to let go of the obsession in his heart, as far as I know, the current emperor of the empire is still trying to get the holy weapon of our ancient gods, but I have laid down the enchantment transformed with the only ancient god crystal in this world, even the most powerful weapons cannot break through here, but I am worried that if I leave the world one day, the ancient temple will have no one to guard。 Astrea's eyes darkened.
"I'm so sorry there's no way I can help you. Tress said guiltily.
"Tress, so you're here, I've found you. Clio shouted loudly as he sat on top of the giant vein dragonfly, next to Anno riding the old god pterodactyl.
"So you still have companions, how many of you have come this time, do you want to get something here?" Astrea's tone changed suddenly, questioning Tresse.
"Don't get me wrong, we're just here to train, not to kill the beasts, but to protect ourselves, we're actually here to get the legendary golden apple. In order to avoid Asterea's suspicion, Tress quickly explained.
Clio had the giant dragonfly stay in the bamboo forest, and Anno had the ancient god pterosaur stop in the bamboo forest.
"Who is this sister, there is a giant horse next to her, but her body looks a bit like a giraffe and a bear, and there is actually a temple here, and the ice mushroom forest is really amazing." Clio exclaimed.
"Clio, this is not an ordinary human, the descendants of her ancient god clan are nine hundred and nine years old this year, and there is an ancient temple behind her. Tress said.
"The descendants of the Old Protoss, I heard Tiffany say it, but she said that the Old Protoss in this world has disappeared for a long time, and what remains is the White Protoss of Faustina's soul transformation. Clio said incredulously. The Astrella in front of her looked really young, just a year or two older than her, how could it be a nine-hundred-and-nine-year-old ancient god.
"I've read about the Ancient Gods in ancient books, but the ancient books say that the Ancient Gods have disappeared in the primeval era, and their descendants are the White Gods, and no one knows where they live. Anno said with a look of disbelief.
"I can see that you are not wicked, so come into the temple. Astrella said, turning around and walking into the temple.
Clio was very curious, followed Astraia and Tress into it, the temple is very simple and elegant, much like a historic church, the bricks and stones are spotless, there are two very tall statues in the temple, the statue is a man and a woman, the man's statue is extraordinary, solemn, the woman's statue is kind and good-eyed, dignified and beautiful, and it looks very clean and dusty, does not eat the fireworks of the world, the statue is very tall, the height is about 3 meters, they are holding the holy sword in their hands, and the woman is holding a water bottle, they stand in the middle of the temple, as if staring into the distance and the future。
In front of the idol is a black table covered with a red cloth, lit with sky-blue candles, and two bottles of water with white flowers that look like perfume lilies. There are two rows of oak benches on the left and right sides of the temple, a red carpet on the floor, and a silver chandelier hanging on it, emitting an elegant light.
Cleo looked at the two otherworldly statues in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "What a work of ingenuity, I didn't expect there to be such a vivid stone statue in the forest, it's really breathtaking." ”
"In fact, this is not a stone statue in front of me, but the soul of the two ancestors of our ancient god clan, so it has been enshrined here, it has been millions of years, but the style is still the same, although after such a long time, it is still standing, the blue candle in front is not an ordinary candle, but a spiritual weapon that can drive away evil spirits, the flower arrangement is not an ordinary flower, but the ancient god lily of the ancient god clan, which can grow for three hundred years, in the customs of our ancient god clan, the ancient god lily is used to commemorate the ancestors. "Astraia explained everything inside the temple to Cleo.
"By the way, Sister Astrea, we met a thousand-year-old undead here, but she captured our companion, because of her high mana, we can't fight her off now, is there anything you can do?" Cleo asked anxiously.
"And Sit was swept away by a mudslide, and I heard that he was in a cave in the forest, and would like to ask you for help, is that okay?" asked Anno humbly.
"The thousand-year-old undead you are talking about is Virginia who lives in the underground caves, when I lived here, and when I was a child, she had already wandered in the forest, but she did not harm any ancient creatures, she just lived quietly in the underground caves, and cultivated a large cherry blossom forest, and lived with a group of scorpions, spiders and bats for many years. Astrella said indifferently.
"If that's the case, but she did capture a few of our seniors, and released cold air to frostbite my friends, and also released bats and spiders to attack us, but we were helpless against her, and it was a great headache. Clio said sadly.
"yes, so we hope you can help us get through this time. Tress said expectantly.
"I didn't expect Virginia to do such a thing, are you sure you didn't offend her, according to my understanding, she is a gentle and kind woman, although she is already an undead who has lost half of her soul, and missed the opportunity to reincarnate as a human, but if she really causes you so much trouble, as a descendant of the ancient gods, I can't sit idly by. Astrea's tone was firm.
"Well, you look sleepy and tired, I'll ask my pet, Panda, to make you some food. Astrella said softly.
"Thank you, but we want to rescue my seniors and find herbs for my friends to treat frostbite, and I'm afraid we're not in the mood to eat right now. Clio frowned.
"Don't worry, according to my observation of the eye of heaven, your seniors are not injured yet, but they have been imprisoned by Virginia, you can eat something first, and I will hand over the spirit weapon to you later, Virginia has been wandering for a thousand years, it's time to let her rest in peace." Astrella said indifferently.
"Since Astrea's good intentions, we can't resist it, Cleo, Anno, you don't have to excuse yourself. Tress smiled because Astrella was willing to help.
Asteria led them to the back of the main hall, behind which was Asterea's living place, two rooms, one was a place to eat, the other was a place to sleep, the room was not decorated, as if it was natural, the eating place was furnished with a round wooden table, a few wooden stools, a little similar to human life, "You sit down here, I'll let Panda cook for you." Astrella said softly, very approachable.
"I didn't expect that the people of the ancient god clan are quite similar to our human habits, they need to eat and sleep, but they feel that they live a lot longer than us humans, and they actually lived nine hundred and nine years old, which is unbelievable, but Sister Astraya looks so young, and she thought she was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Clio said with emotion.
