Chapter Ninety-Six: The World Tree (Happy New Year, everyone!) )
After Lu Ming entered the interior of the elf clan, he refused the elf clan's hospitality and offered to walk alone.
And the elders were discussing things with Yulina again, refusing to be disturbed by anyone, and the elves really didn't know what to do, so they had to agree to Lu Ming's request.
At this moment, he was bored walking in the territory of the elves, looking at the huge trees growing around him, such tall trees were difficult to see outside.
Even houses were built on the trees, and these places were where the elves lived.
It's a pity that Lu Ming walked all the way down, and not a single elf could be seen, it seemed that those elders had notified their clansmen in advance and were temporarily forbidden to go out.
After all, it is an extraordinary period now, and in the face of the invasion of Lu Ming's army, it is very dangerous outside.
Even Lu Ming had already come to their island, fearing that the conflict would hurt the clansmen, so the elders issued an order prohibiting going out.
Looking at the locked elven houses around him, Lu Ming shook his head boredly and continued to walk towards the depths of the island.
I don't know how Yulina talked to the elders over there.
Because Lu Ming is the leader of the invaders after all, he personally came to the island to make them surrender or something, which is too arrogant, I'm afraid the other party will not agree.
So only Yulina went to the elders alone, and Lu Ming was left on the island to wander around.
Just as he was looking down and pondering the affairs of Yulina's side, unconsciously, he suddenly noticed that the scene around him had changed somewhat.
Looking up, it is still the most obvious scene on the island where the branches of the trees are crisscrossed, and even the sunlight is blocked out a lot.
I'm afraid it's because it's so dim that these elves choose to build their homes on trees.
However, unlike before, there are many huge branches nearby, but not a single trunk is visible.
"These branches are all from a tree?"
Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little incredible, looking at these branches and buds covering an unknown number of branches, if they all grew on the same tree, how big should that tree be?
Thinking of this, Lu Ming's heart moved slightly:
"Could it be that these branches are grown from the legendary World Tree?"
Feeling the vigorous vitality emanating from the surrounding branches and buds, Lu Ming couldn't help but be sure in his heart.
The World Tree, also known as the Tree of Life, is said to have been planted by a sapling planted by the goddess and later nearly withered.
Perhaps because she had taken care of the tree for many years and was reluctant to give it up, after it withered, the goddess herself gave it some of her own life force.
Since then, this tree has become the most vigorous and growing tree in the world, and I heard that this tree alone can be compared to a large forest.
Later, this thing somehow fell on the side of the elves and became the guardian of their time.
Lu Ming is still very curious about the World Tree, and this thing is something that can increase the lifespan, with it, maybe he can have a long lifespan like the elves.
Thinking like this, Lu Ming couldn't help but speed up his pace, and behind a mess of branches, he found what he had always wanted to see.
It was a trunk larger than a forest, occupying the central area of the entire island, and near the trunk, there was an air of life.
He was sure that the unbelievably large tree in front of him was the legendary World Tree.
The trunk of the tree has been developed by the elves to look like a small town, and the towering trees are towering into the sky, and I don't know how many floors have been carved out, and there are countless houses on them.
Lu Ming didn't think about it, so he walked towards this World Tree, wanting to experience the magic of this World Tree for himself.

p; However, as soon as he walked near the trunk, he saw that the central area of the elf clan had been fenced, and there were two teams of elven warriors guarding it around.
It seems that the vicinity of the World Tree is an area that ordinary elves are not allowed to enter.
And as soon as Lu Ming appeared here, he naturally got the attention of the two teams of elven guards.
"Humans? Why are you on our elven island? ”
One of the elven warriors who looked like a leader was slightly puzzled after seeing Lu Ming.
Now Lu Ming, after his strength has improved, his aura is also very hidden, so that even the elf clan can't discover his demon aura.
And since guarding the World Tree is the most important job of the elves, although these people have also seen the changes in the elven enchantment, they have not left their positions, and they do not know what is happening outside.
Even those elders, when they came here, just said that they wanted them to be optimistic about the World Tree, and left in a hurry, as if they were participating in some kind of negotiation.
Therefore, for Lu Ming in front of them, these elves were only deeply curious, curious about what was going on outside, and there were humans who entered their territory.
However, no matter what happened outside, their work still had to be done, and the leader began to stop Lu Ming from coming:
"That's it, the rest of the area is a forbidden area for our elves, please don't step into it."
Her tone of voice was still very polite, after all, the other party was able to enter the territory of the elf clan, maybe it was a guest specially entertained by the elders, and they naturally would not take the initiative to offend him.
But Lu Ming touched his chin and said with some concern:
"But...... I just want to go in, what should I do? ”
Before he could finish his words, immediately, the warriors of the two teams of elven guards nearby quickly surrounded him.
At the same time, dozens of bows and arrows were aimed at him, and it seemed that trespassing on the World Tree was really a taboo among the elves.
Among them, the leader who spoke first also pointed at him with a bow and arrow, showing a cautious face.
After hesitating for a moment, as if to see that he was a foreigner, the leader spoke again:
"Humans, the World Tree, is a place that only the elders and the fighters of the elves can enter, and the rest of the people, unless they have the words of the elders, are not allowed to approach the World Tree!"
"If you leave now, we can pretend that we didn't hear what we said just now, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
In the face of some threats from the elves, Lu Ming naturally would not take a step back.
The elves here are just ordinary warriors of the knight rank, and there is nothing to worry about for him.
"Hmm...... It's okay if you guys are rude. ”
Lu Ming smiled lightly and signaled to them that the World Tree was definitely going to go, and as for them to do it if they wanted to, he wouldn't care, and he didn't blame them.
After all, it is their duty to guard this place, and they are indeed an intruder.
For his performance, the elven warrior in the lead blushed, as if he had been greatly humiliated:
"Human! Do you know what you're talking about?! ”
As he spoke, an arrow with a sound of breaking the air shot towards Lu Ming's head.
This warrior of the elven clan, when shooting arrows, used body strengthening, not to mention the human body, even if it is a boulder, it will be shattered in an instant.
However, just as this arrow, carrying his confidence, flew straight towards Lu Ming, he was suddenly surprised to find that the moment the arrow was about to touch the other party's body, it suddenly disappeared from beginning to end.
As if it had been disintegrated, it turned into dust, and the leader was dumbfounded.
