98. Call of the Ancient Tree of War

Hiero plane, green valley forest

The smell of rotting wood wafted through the air of the dense forest, and clusters of butter mushrooms grew from the charred roots. X 23 U S

The light rain was clear, the mushrooms that came out of the humus soil were washed and shiny, and a faint mist floated out of the rice in the jungle, there was no wind, and there were muddy swamps everywhere.

Purple moss covered the thick trunks of the trees, and the whole forest was in a greasy green drench, occasionally visible through the gaps in the dense foliage overhead, and gray clouds could be seen tumbling overhead.

The spider camp had been burned by corpse oil to the point of ruins, the empty land had turned into countless puddles, and large forests of dead wood had been burned black, and after several rains, a strange and dead black forest had formed.

The remains of giant spiders were everywhere, and the shells of their huge legs were like broken weapons stuck diagonally into the dirt, emitting a faint fishy smell.

A large amount of white spider silk can still be seen in the remaining dead tree holes, the Nibru spider people destroyed a large amount of woodland when they established the spider camp, and now these spider camps have become ruins, they have turned into an empty scorched earth, a few rains have made the last trace of fire here burn out, the muddy black soil began to grow the most tenacious bryophytes, some weeds also emerged from the muddy water, a touch of tender green in this black ruins looks so thriving.

Several large trees nearly 1,000 years old fell on the periphery of the spider camp, and the main trunk was three or four meters high, like a thick wooden wall.

Most of these tree spirits have awakened their primary wisdom, and they were sealed and imprisoned in this land by the magic array, but they finally fell on this land because of this war, and became victims of this war.

Morayar followed me out of the portal.

She looked up at the Black Forest on the Hiero plane, and then summoned the 'Poison Flower Vine' to her side, and she took the skirt of Calemian's magic robe in one hand, and stepped on top of the Poison Flower Vine, which was the thickness of a bucket wrapped around the trunk of a giant pine like a python, and kept swimming, sending Morayar to the canopy of the ancient pine in just a few breaths.

Su followed closely behind Morayal, she was wearing a priest's robe, a fishskin hood on her head, holding a book of prayers in her hand, her porcelain white skin was crystal clear, her skin was as white as milk like Sister Guoguo, and now some of her movements and habits were also very similar to Sister Guoguo, but she was shorter than Sister Guoguo, and there were a few light pink freckles on Sister Guoguo's white cheeks, but Su was as delicate as a porcelain doll.

Sue's legs are still the prosthetics of the Oriana Magic Store that I bought for her, and for us now, the magic prosthetics made of lapselian polished from the lapselian that I bought for dozens of magic crystals are no longer the best choice, and there are prostheses made of more top-quality materials, and the additional magic ** on them is almost comparable to the magic pattern structure.

But during her years at Campbell's nursing home, Sue continued to use the prosthesis.

Anne once said in the Oriana Magic Shop that the magic crystals for the prosthetic limbs were borrowed from me, but Sue never said that she would return them to me.

She knew the general situation of the Hiero plane, so she wore a pair of long water lizard leather boots before leaving, and when she stepped on the muddy water, the water lizard's leather was like water boots, almost not touching the muddy water, but it seemed that she had underestimated the degree of mud in the Black Forest, and it was very difficult to walk while standing in the muddy water.

I stood aside and quietly cast the magic of 'walking on water' on her, and then turned on the wind system stone drum totem, so that a small wind circle appeared under the feet of everyone around me, so that it would be much easier to walk.

Su glanced at me and stuck out her tongue playfully, it seemed that she also knew how much trouble she had caused to everyone on this wayward trip.

It's not just Campbell's sanatorium that I'm worried about being overwhelmed by Sue's sudden decision to travel, but I also need to take extra care of her, after all, this is Hierro, we are at war with the spider-men here, and the dense forest is full of Nibru spider-men, and it is full of danger here.

The pine needles on the top of her head fell like rain, and Morayar slid down from the top of the tree with her feet on the fierce poisonous flower vine, and the indigenous girl who had just walked out of the teleportation looked at Morayar with envy, especially Connie, the disciple of the tribe's great witch, who looked at Morayar with an eager face.

Now, under the coercion of Morayar, the demon corpse vine was forced to terminate the symbiosis contract with Connie, and then signed a master-servant contract with Connie.

Connie is actually like the Great Witch of the tribe now, and no longer needs to nourish the ghost vine with her own body.

The 'Life Magic Pattern' on Connie's body is still nourishing Connie's body, and Connie, who was originally carrying the Ghost Corpse Vine, can't feel any magic effect of this 'Life Magic Pattern' at all, but after losing the heavy burden of the Ghost Corpse Vine, the magic effect of the Life Magic Pattern is suddenly reflected, and the wood-based magic breath released by the 'Life Magic Pattern' is nourishing Connie's body little by little.

The most intuitive manifestation is that Connie has a strong healing ability, even if she cuts a wound on her arm with a knife, it will not bleed much, although it is not as exaggerated as the wolf orc's 'self-healing' talent, but the wound will heal quickly.

"I've long heard that Hierro is a paradise for wood-based magicians, and I've never felt such a strong wood-based magic element. Before the Poison Flower Vine could slide to the ground, Morayar jumped off the top of the Poison Flower Vine's head and said to me with an excited expression.

The poisonous vine plunged headlong into the muddy water, and it seemed to like the moist and warm environment as well.

I told Morayar and Su, "This is the Hiero plane, and there's a giant spider that's been dead for a long time, and now it's rotting to an empty shell. Giant spiders can be found everywhere in the jungle here, so be careful and don't act alone. ”

Standing with me on a muddy puddle, Morayal carefully observes her surroundings and does not miss a single detail, and more than a year in the jungle has made her an excellent hunter.

"Jiga, how do I feel like there was a battle here not long ago, as if we were standing on the edge of the ruins of a battlefield. Morayar scraped a layer of black carbon from the trunk of a charred tree, put it to his lips and sniffed it gently, and said to me cautiously.

Since I took Morayar through the teleportation altar in the Valley of the Willows, I wasn't prepared to hide from her what was happening on this side of the Hiero Plane.

So I shrugged my shoulders and said to her, "Yes, ten days ago this was a large spider camp with two thousand spider warriors and a spider overseer, but it has now been destroyed by several of my followers and the indigenous warriors of Hierro. ”

Hearing me say this, Morayar stared at me dumbfounded, and asked me, "Your followers, is that Mister Ruka the Minotaur and the orc warrior Karantso? ”

I nodded and said to her, "And a group of young orc warriors, and some barbarian slaves brought over from the North. ”

When Morayar heard me say this, she couldn't help but press her forehead with her hand, and was very speechless: "Seriously, you are the first northerner I have ever met who is unwilling to kill barbarians indiscriminately, but how did you bring barbarian slaves here?

Moraes and the old Duke of Wall Ellie were close friends, so Morayar was familiar with the North, and her first love was in Sloit.

Morayar turned to look at me and said to me, "Since you came to the imperial capital, I really can't understand you a little bit more and more, you actually formed an army on the Hiro plane, established an alliance with the indigenous people of Hiro, and fought together against the Nibru spiders in the Black Forest. ”

I rubbed my head a little embarrassed, and I didn't know what to say.

What happened during the year is sometimes a little strange when you think about it.

It feels like you're in a dream, and you're likely to wake up at any moment.

The most attractive thing about Morayar is that she is full of intellectual beauty, she squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and then asked me, "Jijia, are you going to carve out a territory here and become a lord?"

I replied, "I already have a territory here, and last summer I bought from the Duke of Samoyed the area of Trum, on the outskirts of Tanton, and I am currently building a town here, as agreed with the Duke of Samoyed. ”

Morayar patted her chest hard, trying to digest the news, she exhaled deeply, and asked me, "So, you have become an earl?"

I nodded to Morayal.

Under the impact of so much news, Morayal's eyes became clear little by little, as if she had grasped the general context of the development of the matter, so she asked me: "Don't tell me that you took the risk of doing this in order to marry Princess Winley, the daughter of the Prince of James, and His Royal Highness Qige, the fiancée of the Prince of Wales." ”

At this time, I walked into the dense forest with Morayar and Sue, and the two indigenous maidens followed behind us.

I stopped in front of a giant pine and said to Morayal, "It's not all, but it's about the same." ”

Morayar glared at me with a resentful expression, pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, in front of me, can't you just be a little tactful, or just say a lie that makes me feel better, even if you want to make me happy!"

I pressed one hand on the trunk of the tree, turned to him with a smile and asked, "Are you sure?

"Humph!" Morayar twisted her head away in dissatisfaction.

Sue looked curiously at the forest beside me, she usually went out rarely for physical reasons, but now she was in the Black Forest, where everything was so new to her, it made her eyes a little busy.

After a brief conversation with the dryads next to the ruins of the Eastern Spider Camp, I pulled my hand back from the trunk and said to Morayar, "By the way, I haven't heard you say anything about your success in advancing to the rank of First Magician in the Savage Swamp Jungle. ”

When Morayar saw that I had changed the subject, she smiled at me and asked, "Are you looking to see my potential?"

I'm actually tempted to say no...... But seeing Morayal's smug look, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.

Morayar said to me complacently, "I have long wanted to tell you about these experiences, maybe you will be of some help to you when you break through the bottleneck of a level 10 magician in the future." ”

“......”

Actually, I really want to say: for me, there may not be any bottlenecks when promoted to intermediate magician.

At that moment, Caterina stepped out from the shade of the tree, two short sharp daggers tied to either side of her legs, and her long, flaming hair beating with her steps.

She came up to me and asked, "They've long since left here, and we're going to find them in the western part of the Green Valley Forest?"

Caterina was talking about Karantso and Justus, who led the orc constructors and barbarian slaves to the western part of the Green Valley Jungle and began to clean up the Nebru spiders there.

I thought for a moment before I said to Caterina, "I sense that Mr. Tree Man in the Green Valley is calling me, let's go directly to meet the War Ancient Tree, and if it's still time, let's go to the indigenous tribe to meet Elder Singall, and I guess he should stock up on a new batch of magical herbs." ”

Hearing the plan of action of the Green Valley Jungle this time, Caterina just calmly agreed, "Oh, okay then! When are we leaving?"

......

Most of the Nebru spiders have evacuated the eastern battlefield of the Green Valley Jungle, and now the giant spiders are no longer able to complete the guard mission independently, and only an area controlled by the Nibru spiders is a safe place for the giant spiders.

Nearly 10,000 El Oro native warriors formed a team of 100 people to shuttle between the dense forests of the Green Valley, these 100 teams have mastered a very mature set of skills to hunt giant spiders, as long as they do not encounter more than five spider-man scout teams, almost all of them have the strength to fight in this dense forest.

The only mortal threat to these Hiero warriors now is the throwers of the Spider-Man warriors.

The Spider-Man Thrower can throw the black iron spear in his hand seven or eight hundred meters away, but it is difficult to ensure accuracy at such a long distance, so the Spider-Man Thrower can only be threatening if it forms a scale.

In the dense forest, three or five spider man throwers gathered together, and the damage to the indigenous warriors was extremely limited, and the indigenous warriors would cooperate with the tree spirits to use the traps in the jungle to kill back.

The speed of our group through the green valley forest is not fast, although the tree spirits have already carved out a forest path for us first, but our group did not ride horses, and we talked as we walked, so this forest path seemed extraordinarily long. u
