Chapter 30: The World Tree
The speed of the two who set off again was much faster, and they were delayed for some time, at this time the sunset had already hung in the treetops, giving the entire rainforest a layer of gold, although the rain last night was very heavy, but at this time it had almost evaporated, Catherine followed Ling Mo's footsteps, and walked quickly through the forest, at this time she had completely felt the pleasure after the promotion!
In the past, she ran at a speed close to the limit, and she was exhausted after holding on for a few hundred meters at most, and she had to stop and rest, but now she has run several kilometers with Ling Mo, but she still feels that she can persevere! The energy is slowly and resolutely integrating into her body, improving her physique, and she even has an illusion now, even if she turns around and fights that fierce bear, she will not necessarily lose!
Of course, she also knew that this was just an illusion, her attack power had not changed at all, and she could only barely break the defense when she hit the thick bear skin of the Ferocious Bear, and the Fierce Bear would have to stand still for her to fight for a while. But if she encounters other agile fourth-level demonic beasts, she can use her dexterity and stamina to maneuver.
When assessing her strength, Catherine's stronger and stronger hearing keenly noticed the sound of beast roars coming from front of her, she couldn't help but get nervous, the further she went, the deeper her nervousness became, after all, this beast roar was too big, too messy!
Catherine alone could tell the roar of a tiger, the chirping of a deer, the chirping of a hoopoe, the neighing of an elephant, the howler monkey's scream...... There are always a lot of varies, mixing with each other into a primitive symphony, which makes people wonder if there is a large group of demonic beasts fighting in front of them, and looking at Ling Mo's direction of travel, it is going towards the sound of the beast's roar!
At this time, it was getting closer and closer, and the beast's roar was already as clear as in her ears, Catherine quietly adjusted her posture, pulled out the dagger given by Ling Mo, and put on a fighting posture, but Ling Mo waved her hand casually, and swept down a big tree blocking the road, and the front suddenly opened up, and the scene in front of her was imprinted into Catherine's eyes, her eyes suddenly widened, and the dagger in her hand slipped to the ground:
The boundary in front of me with a radius of less than one square kilometer is a large flat land, and there is not a single tree or grass, but it is densely packed with countless magical beasts! As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of large magical beasts such as the moire tiger, the armored elephant, the flame-bursting porcupine, the one-bladed dwarf cow, and so on, but the problem is that there are many weak herbivores like bubble rabbits, wind turtles, tarsiers, and red loaf mixed in, and they are crowded together with each other, and their bodies are close to each other, completely zero distance! But the strange thing is that none of them attack each other!
From the first-level demonic beasts to the fifth-level demonic beasts were all huddled together, Catherine even saw a calf move its butt and squeeze the bladed leopard on the side, and the leopard just grunted dissatisfiedly from his throat, and then stood up without care, looking eagerly at the center of the clearing!
Yes, these countless kinds of demonic beasts formed a large circle of three layers inside and three layers outside, all of them with their butts facing outward, stretching their necks to look at the middle of the field, just now Ling Mo slapped a big tree and made such a big movement, it didn't make any of the demonic beasts look back even once!
Seeing this scene, Catherine was also aroused, she tried her best to find a good position not to be blocked, with superhuman eyesight, and finally saw that in the middle of the field, a large piece of land was slightly bulging like a small hill, and it was shaking regularly, as if there was something underneath, trying to break through the ground!
At this time, there were enough monsters, but there were still more and more monsters rushing over, some birds didn't even have a place to put their feet, so they simply stopped on the backs of other monsters, and a carving owl stood on the back of the cloud-patterned tiger, and its sharp claws scratched the back of the cloud-patterned tiger, and the cloud-patterned tiger didn't look back at it! These monsters all bowed their bodies as if worshipping, and Catherine even saw a ...... in their eyes. Reverent!
She couldn't understand it, so Catherine couldn't help asking, "Master, what are they doing? What are they visiting?"
"They are waiting, waiting for the World Tree to sprout, to be precise, for the branches of the World Tree to sprout. ”
"World Tree?!" Catherine didn't expect such an answer at all, she reacted for ten seconds before she recovered from the shock, stammered and pointed to the center of the field and said, "In this kind of place, there will be a World Tree?!, doesn't it mean that no one can find the World Tree?!"
"Of course you can't find the World Tree, but the World Tree is everywhere. Ling Mo said with a smile, of course he knew why Catherine was so shocked, although the Warcraft Rainforest was one of the eight Jedi in the continent, but if only the unorganized and undisciplined Warcraft in the forest could not stop the increasingly mature human mage army, after all, the location of the Warcraft Rainforest was too fatal, stuck in the middle of the continent a little easter, covering an area of millions of square kilometers, spanning thirty-five countries, seriously hindering the mainland's transportation and modernization development.
However, due to the existence of the World Tree, as long as you enter the Warcraft Rainforest, whether it is the spiritual power of the mage or the magic equipment made by modern magic, it will be suppressed inexplicably, and this suppression will become stronger and stronger as it gradually penetrates into the core area of the Warcraft Rainforest.
The Northern Mage Binding Alliance (NATO for short) even made an incredible condition, claiming that as long as someone finds the location of the World Tree or solves the problem of magic suppression, they will support that person to realize any wish! Even if he wants to establish a country and become an emperor! More than 170 years have passed, and the World Tree is still nowhere to be found, and everyone knows that there is a World Tree in the Warcraft Rainforest, but no one can find it.
And now, Ling Mo told her in a serious way that this slightly raised hill was pregnant with the World Tree?!
"This live broadcast room is so awesome that it explodes?!"
"I never thought that I would be able to witness the birth of the World Tree!
"It's a feeling of being part of history!"
"The excitement in front of you? The anchor said that it was the World Tree? He said that he was your father, do you believe it?"
"That is, in the past 100 years, there are still few people who have discovered the World Tree by fooling themselves, and in the end, not everyone has been proven to be a liar?"
"How do I feel...... This live broadcast room won't be alive for long?"
"If the anchor is a world tree, I will eat live broadcast, or eat while pulling!"
"If this is the World Tree, I'll eat like French bread!"
"I've already taken a screenshot of the front!"
"When the time comes, I can't stuff it, I can do it for me!"
“......”
Just when the sailors were arguing, Ling Mo twisted Catherine's head in the direction of the small hill and asked her to concentrate on it, and at the same time said with a hint of eagerness: "Look carefully, you will soon understand why humans can't find the World Tree!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hill moved, and it ceased to tremble, and returned to calm, and a small green seedling appeared at the top of the hill at some point, and Catherine swore that she did not blink an eye, but did not see the seedling appear there, as if it were born to exist there!
As soon as the seedling appeared, the surrounding environment suddenly darkened, Catherine thought that the dark clouds covered the sun, but she didn't expect to look up, there was not even a trace of clouds in the sky, and the surroundings became darker, because the seedling seemed to have a wonderful connection with the red sun in the sky, and all the light around it was distorted, and all of it shone on the seedling, from a distance, as if the sun no longer looked elsewhere, only this seedling!
All the demonic beasts fell silent, and in the silence, the seedling began to grow wildly, growing taller and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within ten seconds it had grown to a height of five meters, and the canopy-like canopy was stretched high, covered with broad leaves, covering a large area!
However, this is only the beginning! In thirty seconds, the World Tree has grown to the thickness of three people hugging each other, more than twenty meters high! The dense canopy of the tree began to bloom colorful flowers, one after another, the color of each flower is different, and even the size and shape of each flower are different, and the trunk of the tree is still growing wildly during the flowering process, and it grows to a height of 100 meters in less than a minute, completely surpassing the height of all the surrounding trees!
In a short time, all the flowers withered, and the crown began to decay, twisting and shrinking inward, and in the very center of the canopy, a huge fruit was brewing.
When the canopy of the tree completely shrank, leaving only a bare trunk, the fruit finally matured, and it exploded directly in mid-air, turning into a completely colorless wave of energy that swept through everything! Catherine felt that something was passing through her body, but she didn't know what it was, and she obviously felt that there was an indescribable change in the surrounding environment, but she couldn't tell what had changed!
She raised her head in confusion, but was horrified to find that the 100-meter-high trunk had disappeared at some point, as if it had never existed! If it weren't for the huge crater left where the World Tree grew, Catherine would have thought that everything she had just seen was an illusion!
