Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Ancient Tree of Selena
In the next few days, the elven troops scattered in this mountain range kept coming with news that the patrol had been attacked by demons.
At the beginning, the elves didn't care, after all, now their entire territory is being invaded by demon troops, although they have successfully eliminated the demon Serren and his troops, but there are still two high-ranking demons like this, one is Ignadis, the other is Ryska, and now the attention of the elves is on these two demon troops, especially Ignadis's troops, they have received the news of Serren's defeat, so they are stepping up their attack on the elves, Ignadis's troops, There are too many high-level demons, and the elves and Ignadis's troops have been attacking each other in the past few days, and no one has taken advantage of them, so the elves have no time to care about it now, so they don't pay much attention to the attack on the patrol.
However, they still strengthened their defense, and the patrol force used for reconnaissance was increased from the original twenty people to forty people, no matter how much it is, the elves do not have so many troops, these patrols are not only scouting intelligence everywhere, but also attacking attackers as the mission goal.
However, strange things happened, and after the heightened precautions, there was still a situation where the patrol was gone.
A patrol of several hundred people, divided into more than ten batches, was released, there were always one or two troops who couldn't come back, and even the news didn't come back, and after a long time, the elves finally became vigilant, they thought that maybe another demon army had appeared, trying to break the encirclement and support the demon forces of Ignadis and Ryska.
As a result, the elves had to send a hero to lead the team to try to find this demon force and then find a way to defeat the other party.
The leader of the team was a druid hero, but when he led the troops out, he found that this demon army had suddenly disappeared, and there was no trace of the other party.
Even when they found the location of the accident of the missing patrol, they found that the location of the troops involved in the accident was simply one from east to west, and there was no pattern at all, and it was impossible to infer the enemy's movement from the location of the accident.
Moreover, inferring from the traces of the battle at the place of the accident, it seems that they were suddenly attacked, very suddenly, the corpses of the soldiers left at the scene, the situation is also very strange, their expressions look frightened, and the bones of their bodies are broken inch by inch, almost to the extent of being shattered, and many of the corpses are no longer in shape.
Even their weapons were the same, not to mention the wooden bows and arrows, and even the hammer weapons used by some dwarves were twisted into a twisted state.
It is impossible to imagine what happened to the soldiers of these patrols, but it is certain that the enemy is terrible!
The druid hero also inquired about the forest, hoping for guidance, but even the trees could not figure out the enemy's situation and could not point out the enemy's movements.
In the end, there was really no way, the elves could only shrink their forces, reduce the frequency of reconnaissance of the patrol force, even if they had to need intelligence, they also merged the patrol team, increased the number of patrols, and added high-level troops to it, some silver Pegasus knights and unicorns, also joined the ranks of the patrol.
………………
In the sky, Roy condescended and saw an elven patrol appearing on the ground, and when he found that there were many high-level troops inside, he couldn't help but sigh, knowing that his way of attacking the patrol to obtain souls was about to come to an end.
With Roy's current strength, those silver Pegasus knights and unicorns, one-on-one, Roy is not afraid at all, but if he is surrounded by dozens of silver Pegasus knights and unicorns, Roy can't please him, although he has flashing skills, Roy can't be caught by them, but if he can't eliminate these patrols, then his weak situation will be known by the elves, and they will think of themselves, the demon who appeared on the battlefield where Serren was killed, maybe they will send dragons to deal with themselves.
Therefore, Roy could only give up hunting for the time being, but he also attacked a lot of patrols during this time, and the number of souls in his hands was also quite a lot, and it was estimated that it should be almost enough to make beacons.
And most importantly, he has developed one of the abilities of the Dark Fruit, and this developed ability is the Dark Cave Dao!
Spread out the power of the Dark Fruit, release darkness to the surrounding ground, and everything within this range will be pulled into the darkness, and after being pulled in, the strong gravitational force inside the darkness will compress people and objects to pieces, if there is no strong strength to resist this power, it will become like those elven patrol soldiers, squeezed to pieces.
Roy used this method to carry out a surprise attack on the patrol, dived down from the air, fell directly into the enemy's formation, and then immediately opened the dark cave and sucked them in, such a raid method, so that the patrol could not even let the carrier pigeons out, when these soldiers died, Roy released their bodies from the dark cave tunnel, and then left with their souls.
In such a way of acting, even the forest could not detect his movements......
It's just that Roy is not with the demon forces after all, and in the face of a large number of enemies, he can only temporarily stop his actions.
So, Roy greeted the fat tiger who was also flying beside him, and left with him.
With the fat tiger, Roy flew a long distance before finding a place to land, this is still within the scope of the forest, this is no way, but fortunately, it is far away from the battlefield, so Roy thinks it can be.
After stopping, Roy took the fat tiger to rest under a big tree that looked very thick, this tree looked very old, but it was still lush and green, I have to say that the territory of the elf clan, the protection of plants is really in place.
After stopping, the fat tiger guy ran out to hunt wild boars again, his favorite food recently is wild boar, and there are many wild boars in this forest, so every time the fat tiger rarely returns empty-handed.
Roy, on the other hand, leaned his back against the bottom of the tree, opened the system interface, and prepared to make beacons.
He hunted a dozen patrols in total, and the number of souls he got in his hands was almost four hundred, according to Roy's calculations, if this beacon did not have the ability to open the teleportation channel, and simply sent a signal to Roy for location reminders, I am afraid it should be enough.
However, what should the beacon look like?
Just before Roy could make up his mind, all of a sudden, he noticed that the ground suddenly trembled!
At first, Roy thought there was an earthquake, but then he realized that the tremor was actually caused by the tree he was leaning on.
Roy immediately jumped to his feet, turned around and prepared to make a move, because he knew that the elves had such a presence as the Deadwood Guard, and any tree would become an enemy if it was not done well.
However, what Roy didn't expect was that the awakened tree slowly formed a human face on the thick trunk, which made the human face look particularly old with the crumpled bark.
"Someone is here again......" The ancient tree glanced at Roy slowly, and said, "Oh, I didn't expect it to be a demon......"
Roy didn't speak, just looked at the ancient tree warily.
After Gu Shu finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Okay, it doesn't matter if the demon is there, the inheritance of knowledge is great, and there should be no racial distinction...... So, Devil, what question do you want to ask me? ”
Seeing that Gu Shu's face showed an expectant look, without the slightest intent to attack, Roy couldn't help but relax, and asked with some curiosity, "Who are you?" Or rather, what are you? ”
"Me?" The ancient tree replied, "I don't know who I am...... I don't have a name, but I'm the Ancient Tree of Selena! Don't you know? ”
"West...... The Ancient Tree of Selena!? Roy was also surprised, he didn't expect to meet an ancient Silena tree here!
In the game, the Sirina Ancient Tree can be upgraded by visiting heroes, but this is obviously the real world, and I don't know what the purpose of this Sirina Ancient Tree is, so he asked, "You just said that I can ask you a question?" ”
"Yes, I am the Silena Ancient Tree, the longest-lived tree species, and the long years have taught me many things!" Gu Shu said in an old voice: "Every traveler who passes by likes to ask me for help, hoping to use the knowledge I have accumulated to help them answer their doubts, and in return, they will also talk to me about some things I have seen during the journey, so that I can absorb fresh knowledge...... Well, in fact, in the long years of my life, I have met other demons like you, and they have also talked to me about the world they live in, the Abyss! I'm curious about your world......"
"Can I ask any question?" Roy asked.
"Yes, as long as I know something, I will tell you!" Silena Ancient Tree said: "I just hope you don't want to be like those demons I met before, who always want to kill me after asking me questions......"
"But you still exist, does that mean those demons didn't succeed?" Roy Road.
"Of course, knowledge is power!" Selena said in a proud tone, "Those stupid demons, they don't seem to know this. ”
Although he was ridiculed by the Silena Ancient Tree, Roy didn't take it to heart, he just needed to know that this ancient tree seemed to be very powerful.
"Come on, ask me questions!" Silena said expectantly, "In the same way, I look forward to seeing you on your journey. ”
What is the best thing to ask? Roy was thinking about it, and at the same time, a thought came to him.
Perhaps, this ancient tree of Silena can be used by himself......
