Chapter Forty-Nine: The Elves of the North
Three days later, the Heavenly Palace came to the northernmost point of the Eastern Continent, and everyone in the sky also easily discovered the northern branch of the World Tree, which was a huge plant seven or eight hundred meters high, which was extremely similar to the World Tree itself. For several kilometers around the World Tree, there is a lush statement scene, which contrasts strongly with the snow-capped sky in the distance. Just as everyone arrived, Hongjun sensed the following two high-energy reactions and some scattered sub-high-energy reactions.
Those energy reactions far exceeded the upper limit of human beings, and even had energy levels close to those of the four people surnamed Bai, this discovery made Hongjun extremely surprised. After thinking about it, Hongjun only flew down with the three of Taishang, Hongjun did not bring Feng Lixi and the four people surnamed Bai, although having his own presence is enough to ensure the safety of everyone, but sometimes it is more convenient to have fewer people.
As soon as Hongjun and his group of four came to the top of the northern branch of the World Tree, they first exuded a rich chaotic aura, and explored the radius of ten kilometers, Hongjun found that there were hundreds of high-level energy reactions distributed on the body of the World Tree and the surrounding forests, and there was a high-level energy body hiding directly below the branch of the World Tree, which seemed to react after Hongjun arrived, but the reaction was very slow.
The four of them only observed for a minute or two on the top platform made of branches, and from the gap in the platform, more than a dozen arrows appeared towards the four of them, Taishang easily blocked those arrows, and Hongjun put away his mind, turned around and looked at the direction where the arrow came from.
Seeing that those arrows did not hurt the four of them, a clear figure rose up from the gap in the branch. It was a woman of about 1.8 meters, with fair skin and very full facial features, but her ears were indeed much sharper and longer than those of humans. The light green hair is draped casually behind the back, and there is a milky white coat on the body that seems to be condensed with energy, although it is incorporeal, but it brings out the holiness and purity of the person even more, and what is even more amazing is that there seems to be a wing flashing behind the person.
The man looked at the four of Hongjun vigilantly, and said softly, "Who are you?" ”
Hongjun and the four of them were stunned for a moment, she actually said the same language as herself, Hongjun was only stunned for a moment and then asked back, "Who are you?" ”
Now it was the woman's turn to be surprised, but she subconsciously said, "We are not human." ”
Both sides were a little unexpected. Without waiting for Hongjun and the others to think deeply, the woman said again
"Whoever you are, this is not the place for you to come, we do not interfere with your territory, and you cannot come to disturb our peace. While it's still too late, you'd better hurry up and get away, far from here, and it's better to forget about what happened here, otherwise... If you disturb our gods, it will bring disaster to you. ”
The woman's words seemed to bring a lot of information. Hongjun lowered her head and thought deeply, she said "we", it seems that the hundreds of high-level energy reactions here are their kind, and the god in her mouth... Is that the high-energy reaction you are talking about? Anyway, the reaction of that high-energy body seems to be getting faster and faster.
Seeing that the four people in front of her did not retreat, the woman took out a small bow and arrow, pulled up the bowstring and sternly faced everyone, "This is your last chance, if you don't go back, then we will be unwelcome." ”
As the voice fell, dozens of winged members of the same kind burst out of the cracks, and those people were men and women, but both men and women were very handsome, but the bows and arrows in their hands were not so beautiful.
Hongjun hurriedly raised his hand to stop it, not to stop the other party, but to stop the Lingbao who was about to make a move. Hongjun, who knew the strength of Lingbao, knew that once Lingbao made a move, the dozens of strange-looking creatures in front of him would be wiped out in the blink of an eye.
At the moment when Lingbao was about to attack, the woman on the opposite side felt the majestic power, as if she was going to crush herself and others into powder, and the few people in front of her were obviously not the opponents of her own people, and even hundreds of people in the whole clan were not enough for the other party to stuff their teeth. Regardless of whether the other side is demonstrating or not, anyway, I can't continue to face them stupidly.
Thinking of this, the woman motioned for everyone to put down the weapons in their hands, and said to Hongjun and the others, "You are not ordinary human beings, who are you?" ”
Hongjun glanced at the people around him casually, then turned to look at the woman with a smile and said, "This... I guess I'm going to ask. It seems that you have occupied the place that belongs to me. At this time, Hongjun had already received a message from the World Tree.
The woman's heart sank, and she said anxiously, "We have been here for tens of thousands of years, and we have never seen you come here, so why do you say that this is your place?" I think you're just trying to make an excuse to occupy this place! ”
Hongjun stretched out his hand again and motioned for the woman to stop, "Tens of thousands of years? Hehe, it's not your thing, even if you hold it in your hand for a long time, it's still not your thing. Now, I need to know about your race, and if you don't want to say it, it doesn't matter, I can use my methods to find out, but it's a little less comfortable. And... I'll prove to you that this is indeed my territory. Hongjun had sensed that the powerful energy reaction in the ground was about to wake up.
The woman took a step forward angrily, but stopped abruptly, because she saw that the person who was about to do it just now seemed to be cooperating with Hongjun, holding a weapon of strange material and strange shape in his hand. Thinking of the terrifying aura of this person just now, he gave up after a few struggles in his heart.
"We are elves, we have lived here since we were conscious, and ... We don't adapt to the outside world. "It still seems to be emphasizing the ownership of this forest.
"Why do you have wings?"
"Only those who have reached a certain level of strength will give birth to wings, and not everyone has them."
"Do you know what this place is?"
"We call it the Garden of Life. This is because the place is surrounded by snow and ice and still maintains an intact ecosystem. ”
"And how did you learn the language?"
“。。。 I don't know this, it's been a language since our ancestors, we know a lot from our ancestors, but the origin of the language seems to be ... It has not been recorded or handed down. ”
"Very well, I'm glad you're telling the truth" Hongjun had already learned from the World Tree that these people were normal humans before ancient times, but after accidentally entering this sheltered forest, they settled here. The energy emitted by the branches of the World Tree for a long time gradually changed into the shape it is now. And their strength is much higher than that of humans, although they are not immortal species, but they are also very long-lived races, and there is always no problem for five or six thousand years.
"So, what's your name?" Hongjun smiled wickedly.
"My name is Noldor, and I'm the current Queen of the Elves. It is the guardian of the garden of life. Noldor looked up and said proudly.
"Very good, Nuoduo, I am Hongjun, these three are Taishang, Primordial, and Lingbao, they are their leaders, and they are the masters of the garden of life in your mouth." Hongjun also raised his head after speaking.
"You!" Nolan blew his beard angrily and stared, his chest rose and fell, and even the fullness of his chest was shaking.
"What do you think of this tree?"
"This is the tree of life, and it is it that makes this garden of life."
"Hmm... The Tree of Life ... It's also a good name, then... Do you know where it came from? ”
"This..." Noldor lowered his head and said as if he was a little sorry, "... I don't know."
"I know, and I arranged for it to take root here."
Noldor seemed to flinch a little, and said weakly, "You... Do you have proof? ”
"Evidence... It's coming soon. Hongjun said confidently.
After speaking, the earth rumbled and began to tremble, and below the branches of the World Tree, the earth was torn apart, and out of the crack crawled out a black giant tortoise with a body length of more than twenty meters.
After the giant tortoise had fully climbed to the surface, it leaped lightly and began to shrink and deform in mid-air. By the time he reached the platform, he had already turned into a young man in a black robe. After the young man landed on the platform, he hurriedly walked a few steps towards Hongjun, and when he came to Hongjun, he knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Lord, subordinate Xuanwu, welcome Lord." ”
Ignoring the stunned expressions of those elves. He asked the black-robed man, "Did you get your name yourself?" ”
"Back to the Lord, my subordinate used to be an ordinary turtle, but he came here because he was attracted by this branch of the World Tree, and relying on the energy emitted by this branch, he has been cultivating for more than 80 million years. I used this term when I became conscious. Xuanwu replied respectfully.
"Hmm. Nice name, these elves are also your work? Hongjun looked at the elves who had gathered here to watch the excitement next to him.
"This... In fact, at the beginning, they were just normal human beings, and they were also attracted by the origin energy of the World Tree branch, but when they came, it was quite late, probably less than 200,000 years. I can have a limited amount of vague communication with them in their dreams, and in this communication they learn our language. Xuanwu saw Hongjun's suspicious face and said: "The subordinates found that this branch seems to be emitting some information from time to time, and even the most stupid people will learn this language from this information for tens of millions of years." For so long, Xuanwu has considered himself a disciple of this branch, and from that information he has learned some of the deeds of your powerful being. Therefore, Xuanwu vainly called the lord, hoping that the lord would accept his subordinates. ”
