Volume II, Chapters IV, V
Chapter 4, Treants
The magic scanning method that Shi Leiyin is using now is somewhat different from the previous one. The previous one was more like a radio, to accept the surrounding perception of whether there were magic fluctuations emitted by the magic source around it, this scanning method is very mana-saving, and it is also suitable for discovering some large-scale low-intelligence magic beasts or dangerous magic sources. The way it is now used is more like radar, scattering its own magic power at a fluctuating frequency, and this slight magic fluctuation can maintain a large propagation distance through the magic in the air. When the mana fluctuation comes into contact with other mana sources or condensations, a superimposed wave and a feedback wave will be generated at the same time, allowing Shi Leiyin to know that there is a corresponding mana condensate in that place, and at the same time, he can also obtain the basic size of that mana. When he was exploring the bottom of Lake Dolan, Shi Leiyin used this scanning method, and then he realized that there was a huge guy at the bottom of the lake.
And now, when Shi Leiyin did this kind of high-level scanning, he immediately knew the crux of the matter.
Under the mana scan, almost all the trees above the thickness of the two people gave back the reaction of a large magic source, and the number of them made Shi Leiyin feel like he had broken into a light shop that had suddenly turned on the lights, surrounded by light bulbs emitting a hundred and twenty watts of strong light. When Shrayin's magic fluctuations scanned the nearest giant tree surrounded by four people, he finally found the first moving creature nearby. The tree moved, to be exact.
A giant tree with a diameter of nearly four meters and a height of almost twenty meters is not far in front of you, shaking its body, pulling out the thick root system of the bowl mouth from the mud, and then slowly shrinking to more than five meters high, growing two human-like arms, opening a pair of eyes on the trunk and a nose and mouth, I think you will definitely not perform better than Shi Leiyin now. At least Shi Leiyin pulled up Shui Jing, who was still unclear about the situation, and ran in the opposite direction as soon as possible.
Shi Leiyin's escape method still used the elastic jumping method before, although this time Shui Jing was outside, but because her body was very light, it didn't affect Shi Leiyin's speed. Shi Leiyin moved while looking for the monster's corresponding monster in his memory, and the Encyclopedia of Warcraft really lived up to its name, and soon, Shi Leiyin found the name of the monster that matched this phenomenon - Tree Spirit, a monster that evolved from plants. However, the tree spirit mentioned in the encyclopedia is generally no more than one meter tall, but the tree spirit that strode after him is definitely more than five meters, although the body is still far away, the vibration brought by the footsteps has already reached Shi Leiyin's feet. To make matters worse, with the vibration of this footstep, Shi Leiyin found that the other giant trees around him also began to shake, turning into one giant tree spirit after another, running in the direction of Shi Leiyin.
Shi Leiyin's escape was finally forced to stop when a huge tree spirit nearly ten meters tall, red all over, and the crown on the top was almost bare. Because led by the red tree spirit, hundreds of huge tree spirits formed a huge encirclement, completely surrounding this slime and the little water spirit around her who was basically scared.
"Jing'er, get smaller, get into my body" Shi Leiyin patted Shui Jing's face, trying to wake her up. In the current situation, the only way to get through to one of the dryads was to find a way to get past them, and if there was only Shi Leiyin alone, he was confident that he would be able to break through any of the dryads, so he had to enter his body like before. However, Shui Jing's transmission made his plan completely frustrated, because of the complete change of feet, Shui Jing could not turn into that small form. Shi Leiyin's brain began to run as hard as he could, giving up Shui Jing and running away by himself? This thought only flashed before he kicked out, abandoning a person who trusted him? It is better to die together. Since you want to go with Shui Jing, you can only increase your speed and instant destructive power. The rapid operation of the brain also affected Shi Leiyin's body. He needed speed, and Harpy's wings began to appear on his body, but this speed was not enough, so Harpy's wings began to change again to become more suitable for accelerated flight, and became the wings of the wind god Harpy, which means that under the influence of Shi Leiyin's thinking, another ability in his body was revealed. However, Shi Leiyin didn't have time to pay attention to this, the largest red tree spirit broke away from the enclosure and walked towards them, and there were no other tree spirits behind him to fill his place. This made Shi Leiyin see a glimmer of hope, as long as he can break through this tree spirit, he will have a chance to escape! The explosive power of the breakthrough, Shi Leiyin's thinking this time turned to power, the teeth of the Lemut spider can provide powerful penetration, but it is not enough, the Slime Kingdom has huge power, but this needs hundreds of other slimes to provide, with the current Shi Leiyin, it can only send out the power equivalent to the full force of the Slime Kingdom, and this power plus the sharpness of the Lemut spider fangs is enough to break through the ten-meter-high number essence? Shi Leiyin himself didn't know the answer. However, there is only one try!
Chapter 5, Elder Treads
Sometimes, plans never catch up with change. At that time, it was like being swept into the space door, and it was the same with Shui Jing's inability to transform before. And now, the huge red tree spirit on the opposite side suddenly spoke, and the battle plan that Shi Leiyin racked his brain to come up with directly turned into useless work that wasted energy. Because what the giant treant said was, "Strange visitor, we are not hostile"
Shi Leiyin was not surprised that the other party could use language, but the language used by the other party was understood by himself, which was a little strange. Although Shi Leiyin uses the lingua franca of the continent, after all, it is a more common language in the human world dominated by the Midgar Kingdom, and there is no reason why the demonic beasts in this forest tens of thousands of kilometers away will also use it, could it be that he is actually just lost in the forest near the kingdom?
"I'm Momo Ambi, the elder of this Reykna Tread tribe, strange visitor, if you can understand my language, please put down your offensive stance, we have no hostile intentions. As the red dryad spoke again, he buried his feet made of roots into the ground, and with a shaking, a giant red tree appeared in front of Shi Leiyin. With his movements, the surrounding dryads also reverted to their state as trees. However, the human face on the trunk of the tree did not disappear. "This form is our sincerity"
Returning to an immobile form is a sign that the Treant is not attacking**. Seeing that most of the tree spirits had returned to the state of trees, Shi Leiyin was truly relieved.
"I can understand your words, Honorable Elder Momoambi" Shi Leiyin did not change his form, still maintaining his orb form, although it was a bit difficult to put his face on the face of the Elder Tree Element's trunk, but it was also a physical movement of the slime to show no intention of attacking. "I'm Slime, you can call me Sleiyin, this is my companion, Shui Jing of the Water Spirit Clan. ”
"I hear confusion in your language," the Elder Treant's tone was very kind, and people naturally felt respect and trust, "If necessary, I hope to answer your confusion." But before that, I would like you to answer my confusion first, can I know how you came to this forest" The elder dryad's face showed a humanized puzzled expression, "This forest has an enchantment that prevents monsters or humans other than dryads from breaking in, and although it can't prevent those powerful creatures from entering, it can let me know about their existence immediately. But I didn't hear anything from you and your partner until you woke up with your magic. Of course, I apologize for accidentally scaring you."
"I don't know where we got here," Shi Leiyin thought about it for a moment, "However, it may have something to do with the black lightning we encountered before, which forms a black vortex similar to a spatial portal, and we were swept into that vortex, and when we woke up, we found that we were already here." Shi Leiyin didn't hide anything, but he didn't know if his answer would be understood by the other party.
"Thank you for your answer, Shi Leiyin. Your answer confirms that it's not our Great Barrier that has gone wrong. Also, I think you're really lucky, the black lightning you mentioned, it could be a natural disaster called a spatial rift, and the person who gets caught up in it may be teleported to any place, or even another world. The Elder Tree Spirit's tone was very pleased, and he could tell that he was sincerely happy for Shi Leiyin.
"Then then, can I ask you some questions?" Shi Leiyin sensed that the Elder Treant seemed to be very knowledgeable, and it was just right to ask more questions.
"Of course, as long as my people and I know, we will answer everything" The Elder Tree Spirit gave Shi Leiyin a smile, although it didn't look like he was smiling at all, but it was very sincere.
"So...... I want to start by asking, where is this, or what continent is it?"
"This is the Forest of the Great Barrier of the Tree Spirits, located in the west of the Polar Continent."
"Extreme Continent, what about Pan Continent?" Although Shi Leiyin was already mentally prepared, he was still dizzy when he heard that even the name of the continent was different.
"I've never heard of such a name," the Elder Treant frowned, as if thinking of something, "But I heard an albatross once say that on the other side of the ocean to the east of the Polar Continent, there is another continent, maybe that's what you call a pan-continent?"
"Is it the other side of the ocean? Shi Leiyin sighed, it was only a matter of time before he crossed a continent, but it was not so easy to cross the sea.
"If you want to go to that continent, then I think you'll have to go to the humans" The Elder Treant gave Shi Leiyin a message, "I heard that the humans of the Polar Continent have been able to build huge flying ships, and with that, you may be able to fly across the ocean like an albatross."
"Thank you for telling me this" Shi Leiyin was really grateful this time, and the news couldn't be better for him. "Can you tell me something else, though?"
"Oh, young slime, I found a thirst for knowledge in your tone" The Elder Treant laughed "Well, I'll tell you everything I know"
