Chapter 42: The Seed of Legend

When darkness completely enveloped the land, the researchers of Darkmoon and the Colonists finally came up with a choice: dissect it!

So, several researchers, escorted by the girl and the members of the battle team, came to the surface, starting from the periphery, and cleared a passage for the researchers to pass through. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a period of delay, the thing was mostly dead, and it wasn't until it was close to the core that the person who opened the way was met with a slight resistance. After the battle team had cut off all the vines around the core of the monster group, the researchers surrounded them and began to use their knives and axes.

It's a pity that Rob didn't see the final result, because he remembered that the clothes he had dried on the roof of the building had not been collected yet, and now it was dark, and the dew in the forest was heavy, and if he didn't put them away, he would probably be soaked. So, Rob, who was dutiful to his duties, threw down the final result and hurried back.

Things have come to this point, it is over, for half a month, the murderer who has been hunting demon armor everywhere in the Nine Ruins finally reaped the consequences, and secretly ran out to be taken as the prey of Dagang, because the dark moon came in time, and was unharmed, that is, in the end, an unknown object appeared, I thought there would be a vicious battle, but the result was also raised high, gently put down, and ended plainly, as if a farce.

People who don't think too much about it don't think it's interesting, but for some people who are willing to think deeply, this matter is full of weirdness.

“…… According to some of the information we collected before, the traces that Qu Zhu found at the scene, and the impression of chasing and killing the murderer, the murderer who hunted demon armor around Jiuxu should be a person who is only about one meter and a half tall. Qu Zhu said that it was a child, but I think that this person should be an adult, but he is relatively short. ”

In the hall of the Dark Moon Headquarters, a group of high-level officials stood or sit, listening to Qinglan, who was known as a military advisor in the organization, analyzing the situation.

“…… The murderer is very cunning and powerful, in the past half a month, Qu Zhu's combat team has only discovered the other party three times, and every time he goes, the hunt has ended, and the people have left. Every time the traces left at the scene are superficial, the murderer should be the person who used the earth demon soldier. ”

Qinglan patted the rattan whip in her hand, as if she had become a teacher. Qinglan's 'teacher' saw that Xia Ju, who was sitting on the single sofa, seemed to be dozing, so he knocked on the armrest with a rattan whip, and woke up the other party in one fell swoop. Xia Ju hurriedly straightened her posture and made an expression of listening to the class seriously.

Now it can be concluded that the real murderer should be an adult who is more than one meter and a half tall. Being so short may be born or hunchbacked. He is good at earth-based demon soldiers, because he has never fought head-on, so he can't accurately analyze how many crystal nuclei there are, but judging from some of his killing methods, most of them are one-hit kills, this person's crystal nucleus is at least ten crystals or higher...... Maybe it's not much different from the number of crystal nuclei in the eldest sister's head. ”

No one in the hall spoke, and after a while, Manju Sawa asked, "So, does he understand his purpose?"

Hearing this, Qinglan shook her head and said, "Now there is only one guess ......" said, and the rattan whip in her hand pointed to the object on the coffee table, which was only half the size of a fist, cut in half, the surface was covered with pimples, the section was scorched black, the whole was dry and shriveled, and there were still broken vine roots of unknown objects.

This thing was excavated from the body of the 'Vine Monster', and this thing was divided into three points, because it was the first hand of the Dark Moon, so they got half of it, and the other half was taken by the Colonist and the Thorn Ring, as for how much each of these two families can get, it is measured according to the degree of contribution.

All along, the three organizations have been distributing according to an agreed rule, and it can be said that it is precisely because the three organizations are concerned about the rules that Jiuxu can maintain a certain state of peace under the control of the three organizations.

“…… As you all know, a long, long time ago...... The first light hit our planet, and we humans were wiped out, and the entire land became a sea of plants and animals, and we humans had to hide underground, just to survive. ”

Qinglan walked back and forth in front of a group of people, and with the beginning of 'Once upon a Time', it sounded like a story, but in fact, it was indeed a story, a legend.

“…… While all human beings were hiding underground, unable to know the changes in the surface world, a second ray of light erupted from the depths of the distant universe......"

"Isn't there only one light?" Xia Ju interjected a little impatiently when she heard this.

Qinglan glanced at Xia Ju, who stuck out his tongue, covered his mouth, and said that he would not intervene again: "...... At present, scientists have no doubt about the existence of the first light, and it is this first light that created our current world. Only for the second light after that, there is no direct evidence, and it can only be confirmed from some side records, so it is quite controversial. ”

“…… Anyway, we should have this second light now. The first light caused a global uprising of all animals and plants, forcing humans to hide underground, and this second light is said to have directly created an incomparably tall tree with a crown that reaches into the stratosphere!"

"Is there such a tall tree?" Hearing this, Xia Ju couldn't help but interject.

But this time, Qinglan didn't blame her, and only continued: "...... This tree is known as the World Tree. Its canopy reaches to the stratosphere, its roots dig deep into the earth, and its trunk is hundreds of kilometers in diameter. And so it towered over the earth. However, this existence only lasted for a few seconds - that is, the time for the second light to shine......"

“…… When the second light began to fade, the World Tree began to wither because it did not have enough energy, and soon dissipated between heaven and earth without leaving a trace...... But, according to legend, when the World Tree withered, it left behind four seeds......"

“…… According to legend, the seeds of these four World Trees were lost in the Ruined Forest, and if anyone can find them and cultivate them to sprout, they will directly obtain a Demon Tree King!"

Hearing this, even if Manzhu Sawa and the others were well-informed people, they couldn't help but be moved, among them, Xia Ju let out a silent exclamation, and a small mouth turned into a circle.

Benefiting from that first light six hundred years ago, this world is far from being as simple as it seems, except for those demon beasts that live in the ruins of the forest and retain their beastly nature, in the deeper places, there are some demon beasts that have existed for hundreds of years.

Their strength is extremely strong, and some even have minds and can understand human language, but fortunately, the ruin forest is vast enough, and they don't like human cities, so they have been living in the depths of the ruin forest, such demon beasts are called demon kings.

How powerful is a demon king?

The first demon king, it is said that it was discovered by Bai Qiuheng of the Bai family in Baiyu City, Yuheng District, he once entered the ruins of the forest alone in order to break through his own bottleneck, and when he came back more than three months later, someone found him embarrassed and seemed to be seriously injured.

Later, people learned that Bai Qiuheng encountered an extremely powerful demon beast in the depths of the ruins forest, Bai Qiuheng fought with it, and as a result, he was seriously injured in almost a few faces, and then he was chased and killed all the way, and finally got rid of the demon beast, or came back.

At that time, Bai Qiuheng said a word: That demon beast established itself as a king in the depths of the ruined forest, and it was supported by many demon beasts. As a result, the title of the demon king also spread. And at that time, Bai Qiuheng was still the strongest among human beings, and even such a strong man was easily beaten and seriously injured in front of the demon king, so the strength of the demon king can be imagined.

After that, Bai Qiuheng went in and out of the ruins forest many times, and the first two times he returned in embarrassment, but the next few times, it seemed that because he didn't know each other, he actually established a good friendship with the demon king.

Because the demon king is a wolf, it is called the demon wolf king, and after many exchanges, the demon wolf king even brought a few subordinates to Baiyu City as a guest, and then the human race learned from the mouth of the demon wolf king that in the depths of the ruins forest, a powerful demon king like it, although there are not many, but there are also many of them.

Later, human beings gradually discovered that in some areas, there are powerful demon beasts that clearly divide the territory, and now a few decades have passed, in addition to the demon wolf king, several other demon kings have been found one after another, including human-friendly, such as Butterfly King, and some are hostile to humans, such as the White Tiger King.

But all in all, there are only five known demon kings, and as for the unknown, there are no mortals. Therefore, when it was learned that a seed could directly cultivate a demon tree king, the information contained in it was unassuming. If someone really wants to be able to control a demon tree king, it is almost invincible.

"What do you mean......" Manju Sawa picked up the withered unidentified object on the coffee table and said, "...... This is the seed of the legendary World Tree?"

Qinglan saw that everyone was a little surprised, so she chuckled: "A legend is a legend after all, which of those known demon kings didn't survive for hundreds of years before becoming so powerful? Want to cultivate a demon king through a seed? I think it's too much to think about." ”

"But even if it's not a demon king, it's a big demon tree, it's very powerful!" Xia Ju said.

Under the demon king is the big demon, and under the big demon is the demon beast.

It's a very simple three-tier progressive level, this division is not officially recognized, it's just a level set by the people in the ruins forest, and it's based on the power of the light source contained in the demon beast's body.

But in fact, such a division has no practical significance, except for the demon king, and then the next level, it is just a snake to add to it, because there are thousands of demon beasts, and some demon beasts will have very terrifying abilities after being illuminated, even if the power of the light source contained in itself is not strong, relying on innate ability alone, it is enough to make many strong people suffer, or even die.

But sometimes, such a division has some effect, at least it can give people a more intuitive reference, knowing that some monsters can't be provoked by themselves.
