Chapter 009: Night Elves
The huge body of the cursed giant scorpion fell suddenly, and in the dust, Taryn got a huge harvest of 930 life sources, which is undoubtedly a "huge amount of money" for him now!
The Elder Altar and the Moon Well are no longer a problem. However, there was still something to finish up on at the moment, and one of the guards turned into yellow sand and disappeared into the dust, heading in the direction of Lott and Mihir fleeing.
Tyron felt the feeling of weakness that had disgusted him return, and he took the Cloak of Shadows from the Shavid, and the whole person was once again invisible in the night.
After the giant scorpion's body was squeezed out of its life by the system, it quickly decayed, and after the sand and dust cleared, only a small part of the shell remains could be seen.
Of the thirty-man knight squad, only four survived. Ironically, three of them were not killed by the scorpion fighting, but by the scorpion that was already dead......
Those who survived did not feel the aftermath of the catastrophe at all, because most of their supplies had sunk into the sand, and it was impossible to dig them out. Moreover, the team of more than 200 people, after this catastrophic battle, only less than 30 people remained.
Most of the servants were submerged under the sand, and this sight strengthened Tyron's desire to be resurrected. There may be limitations to being an immortal that exists due to a curse, but in any case, not eating, drinking, or sleeping is an advantage over living creatures, especially in a place like the desert!
Instead of attacking the remaining knights, Taryn hid in the darkness and watched them quietly.
With the exception of the Shaman who had tracked down Lot and Mihir, the other three Shawers had dived into the sand and continued to search for the buried supplies.
That kind of black stone, Tyron is very interested, but the system doesn't provide any special information, maybe it's not particularly rare.
It's just that although Sha Wei launched a carpet search, he still found nothing, could it be that the black stone is the only one? Soon after, Sha Wei found a cart of weapons, including swords, bows, crossbows, shields, etc., which could be regarded as a little gain.
"Roy- Roy- Where are you?"
"It's over, the thing and the water are gone."
"Woo...... Woowoo...... I'm going back! ”
"Help, help me...... I'm sinking, who's going to save me......"
After the giant scorpion fell, the lucky survivors began to use their own wails and cries to compose the final ending for this unjustified disaster - the ending called despair.
The remaining materials are not enough to support the survival of so many people, and what they will face next is probably a human heart that is more terrible than monsters!
Taryn hadn't intended to enjoy the rest of the story, but mixed with the voices of these servants was the conversation of several knights.
Riots soon broke out, and the knights had to bring material materials to find the lost Mihir and Lot, and the servants also rebelled because there were only 4 knights left. They don't plan to go to the Emerald Empire, although the Snow Eagle Principality is in the midst of war and plague, but there is a little room for survival.
In the Beser Desert, they are dying every day, and there is no hope in sight.
What Taryn saw next was a bloody massacre. With most of the supplies lost, the number of people has become a burden, and the knight captain knows how to survive, and he is even more ruthless when he starts.
After the knights fought just now, although they all consumed a lot of physical strength, these servants were even more unbearable. Having not had enough things and water, they had no power to resist in the face of well-trained and well-equipped knights.
Not to mention ordinary people, even if it is an army, there is rarely a situation where they fight to the death. When the servants suffered more than a third of the casualties, they gave up the fight and began to flee in all directions. The knights did not chase deeply, because when they left here, there were no tents, no food, and many people might not survive the night.
The four knights began to sort out the rest of their belongings, while also talking about something.
"Who was that guy just now, so fast, and the dagger in his hand seems to be Miss Michel's ......"
"I don't know, I'm going to talk about this later, we're going to get our things sorted out quickly and go find Lott and Miss Mihir."
"Yes!"
"If we lose Miss Mihir and go to the Emerald Empire, will there still be a territorial reward?" A knight asked.
"It's better to die in the Desert of Besser, those Eastern devils are no kinder than the people of the church." The captain of the knights said as he straightened his bags.
"Miss Michiel and Mr. Lott left on foot, and we should be able to catch up."
"I hope so, let's go!"
……
As Taryn watched them go, a figure emerged from the air.
He didn't catch up, because Shawei had already caught up with Mihir and Lot, and the knights were not in the wrong direction, and the group would gather together sooner or later.
If they don't converge, then Lott and Mihir may not survive tonight.
Taryn had no intention of making actual contact with them, and he sent Shawei just to follow them up for some information.
The conversation of the knights just now, listening to the tone, seemed to be intending to sacrifice the little girl to someone, which showed that these knights had communicated with the Eastern Continent side before.
Of course, with his knees, he could also think that these knights had only received some promises at most, and it was impossible to know too much about the situation in the Eastern Continent.
It didn't take long for the weapons to be retrieved by the sand guards. However, the camels responsible for transporting them had suffocated in the sand, and it was useless to pick them up.
The Sandguards work tirelessly as porters, and Taryn sets out on his way back to the Tree of Life stronghold.
The harvest of this outing is indeed very rich. Rewards for random quests, a large number of lifestreams extracted after the death of the giant scorpion, and some weapons collected along the way......
After a rough calculation, he harvested a total of 50 gold, 1060 lifesources, a Mithril dagger, a traceable magic stone, and a shadow cloak this time.
Among them, the 1060 lifesource is the most exaggerated, which greatly exposes the embarrassing problem of Tyran's target.
In terms of resources, he now has a total of 160 gold and 1191 life. Of these, 40 are harvested, and 91 are the remaining balance after the Moon Well was built.
I don't know if it's because of adaptation problems.,Now the elf collection speed has stabilized at the efficiency of 1 life source in two hours.,As for how many life sources can be collected by a cactus in total.,It's still a question mark.,Taryn thinks it's impossible to collect as infinitely as in the game, right?
With enough resources, Taryn decisively put the Elder Altar and the War Ancient Tree into construction at the same time!
The Elder Altar requires 180 Lifesource and 50 Gold, while the War Ancient Tree requires only 150 Lifesource and a Necron Pixie to build.
Then, a part of the pokemon needs to be replenished, after all, the speed of collection is crucial, which is the basis of development!
Until then, though, there's one more thing to deal with.
Taryn exhaled the system, took out the Mithril Dagger and the Traceability Stone, and chose to submit the task.
[System Prompt: The Ancient Tree of Life is evolving, please ...... later]
In his sight, the huge ancient tree of life quickly withered...... Seeing such a scene, Taryn's whole heart hung in the air. But in the next moment, new green leaves grew on top of the ancient tree of life, and in just a few seconds, it seemed that a replacement between life and death had been completed.
[System Prompt: The Alienation of the Ancient Tree of Life is Completed]
Building Name: Multi-Source Tree of Life
Health: 1300
Attack: 41-50
Armor: 15 (Enhanced, slower)
Souls: 10 (provides 10 units of soul capacity)
Skills: Night Elf (consumes 60 life, 1 soul, needs to be rooted in the dead land), Natural Blessing [greatly increases the movement speed, attack damage and armor of nearby ancient tree units (to be studied)], backpack [makes ancient trees and some ground units can carry items (to be studied)], reverse growth [makes the ancient tree return to its nascent seed form, and retains its full vitality for a certain period of time for secondary growth (to be studied)].
Special Skills: Ancient Soul (consumes 200 life, 3 souls, needs to be rooted in the Hallowed or Dream Land), Death Soul (consumes 150 life, 2 souls, needs to pierce a corrupted place or necropolis), 、???
Notes: (1) All subsequent units created by the Night Elves are spirits (except mechanical units).
(2) All existing units are replaced with Night Elves, and special Elven Souls can only be crafted if the conditions are met.
Taryn looked at the transformed Tree of Life, a little stunned. Was this still the Night Elf he was familiar with? The Night Elves summoned in the future are all spirits? There are also Ancient Souls and Dead Souls...... I guess it's some other kind of pokemon.
In that case, does it mean that the development of another race has begun? However, the place where all this needs to be rooted is a bit harsh, and I am afraid that there will be no way to test it in a short time.
Just as he was about to explore the ancient tree further, a soul tingle came. In an instant, he completely cut off contact with a reborn Shawei! It was the Shawei who was in charge of tracking Mihil, and the moment he disconnected, Shawei also conveyed what he saw to Taryn.
Taryn, on the other hand, frowned because of that picture...... How is this possible?
