Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ancient trees are very rare and valuable.
Historically, the Forest Clan was once extremely prosperous, and the vastness of its territory was not much lower than that of today's Yonghui Knights, with more than 6 or 80% of the area covered by lush forests.
At that time, the forest clan was strong in many years, and the ancient giants were also squeezed to the edge of the big 6, and the human race and other races could only be counted as small races.
It was the heyday and most glorious era of the forest people.
However, even in such a prosperous era, the number of ancient trees in the forest was quite limited. Ancient trees have protected the forest for generations, and are worshipped by some of the most powerful tribes of the forest people. Later, the forest clan flourished and gradually declined, and more than half of the ancient trees of the forest were destroyed in a series of disasters, wars, infighting, and divisions.
For the forest clan, the ancient tree of the forest is the foundation of exhibition and prosperity, and the number of ancient trees has been reduced by more than half, which directly leads to the vitality of the forest clan.
However, they have always been active on the big 6 stage, and from time to time there will be one or two amazing talents, but these powerful powerhouses have never been able to reproduce the prosperity of the forest clan, one of the important reasons is that the number of ancient trees in the forest is not enough!
Later, the human race began to flourish in the domain of the Eternal Knight.
Yonghui believes in the concept of "the supremacy of human blood" and has a strong exclusivity, defining all non-human races as alien races.
More importantly, Yonghui advocates violence and calls it "conquest and indoctrination."
As the power of the Knights of Yonghui grows stronger, so does the pace at which humans expand their territory. Many alien races have suffered greatly under Yonghui's aggressive expansionist policies. Eventually, many alien races, led by the giants, united. The war with the domain of the Yonghui Knight exploded, and the flames of war burned for nearly a hundred years, affecting more than 6 races, countless lands were turned into scorched earth in the real world, and countless casualties were killed and injured by the creatures of all races.
It was a never-ending war, and in the end, the entire ancient giant race was wiped out, the pure power rules of the plane were severely damaged, and many races and classes related to the power rules were collectively weakened. This brutal war, which lasted for nearly a hundred years, finally came to an end.
After the war, Yonghui was extremely weak for a while, but with the artifact Yonghui Cross Spear and the strong reproduction ability of humans, a few decades later, the Yonghui Knight's Domain was revived, and then once again beat the war drums to conquer the aliens. This time, no race could stand in the way of Yonghui's conquest and expansion.
Today, Yonghui is a veritable big 6 overlord. Humanity is unprecedentedly strong, and aliens can only survive in the cracks.
With the exception of the sudden rise of the Shepherd's City, no force is qualified to threaten the Knights of Eternal Radiance.
The Forest Clan was also completely torn apart in the war, and now except for one branch in the ranch, the other four or five branches were enslaved by the Eternal Knight's Domain.
The number of ancient trees in the forest has also decreased to the point of extinction.
Judging by some of the intelligence that Durand knows. Yonghui should have five or six ancient trees in his hands, but there is only one in the pasture, which is the one in front of him.
This is also the reason why Durand can kill many aliens without blinking an eyelid, but he can't sit back and watch the ancient tree of the forest being toyed with by Sellers to death.
"Damn Cyrus......" Durand's eyes stared at the ancient tree in front of him for a moment. His mind drifted away for a moment, thinking of the Divine Eternal Radiance Warlock who looked sunny and clean on the surface, but was actually slick and cunning. Durand has a strong killing intent from the bottom of his heart.
Enslaving souls with the eternal glow gaze, and then using the blessing of the Holy Spirit to raise the level and combat power, the methods of the divine eternal radiant warlocks made Durand deeply despised, but Durand had to admit that this method was very practical!
For now, at least, the ancient tree of the forest has indeed held Durand back for the time being, slowing him down.
Branches and roots stretched out wantonly, attacking simultaneously from all directions, as if weaving a large net, aimed at Durand, as under the hood.
Each branch and root is not strong enough to pull out individually, maybe only at the level of four or five levels, or even lower. However, when they come together and attack together with the blessing of the Holy Spirit, even a senior level 8 powerhouse will feel extremely tricky here!
Ordinary eighth-level powerhouses would never dare to be drawn by those thick roots, as strong as the White Tiger and Hudson, I am afraid that they would have to temporarily avoid the edge, in case they were entangled in those branches and roots with teeth and claws, they might have to pay a heavy price to get out.
Durand stood still.
At this time, he hadn't broken the seal, and the aura on his body was only at the level of seventh. For him, a battle mage who had reached the true realm of a demigod, it was not a problem at all to deal with an eighth-level forest ancient tree, as long as he wanted to, a blink of an eye could solve the battle, but he couldn't do it at the moment.
Because he is faced with a more difficult task than "fighting to win".
"What a hassle......
Durand grunted reluctantly, according to the agreement between him and the soul splitter, he must pick the fruit as quickly as possible after the soul has entered the tree, so as to separate the fruit from the tree, and then, in an instant, kill the enslaved core soul.
This is the only way to keep the next seed.
With the seeds, it is possible for the old tree of the forest to be reborn. As for how likely it is, Mori no Koki himself doesn't know, let alone Durand, who has a limited understanding of Mori Koki.
Moreover, if only the core soul was killed, it would still not be able to prevent the ancient tree from exploding. It must be slashed along with the vast vitality contained in the tree to truly stop the power left behind by Cyrus from detonating the ancient tree.
The method of Cyrus to detonate the creatures manipulated is somewhat similar to the "Nightmare Seed" that Red Eagle once used: it is all about throwing a ray of his own power into the souls of others, and manipulating the life and death of others from a distance.
Red Hawk detonates Avery and Xia Zor with the "Nightmare Eye".
Cyrus detonated many aliens with his eternal gaze.
Now the Ancient Tree of the Forest is under the manipulation of Cyrus, once Cyrus detonates the wisp of power that he implanted in the core soul of the Ancient Tree. It will detonate the core soul and the entire ancient tree. If it is said that the Yonghui power implanted by Sellers is a "tinder". Then, the core soul and the huge vitality in the ancient tree are the "fuel".
What Durand has to do is to extinguish the "fuel" before the "tinder" explodes, and the tinder will naturally have nothing to explode.
Whew!
The branches and roots of the trees were as fast as lightning, and there was a continuous sound of breaking the air.
Durand waited for the branches and roots to get close to him before he began to move, his body shaking. With the footwork of the Night Elf Warrior under his feet, his body flashed several times in a row, and easily escaped the attack range of the ancient tree.
The ancient tree reacted quite quickly, changed direction in an instant, and pursued Durand again.
At the same time, two more branches were outflanking from the other two directions, and in the blink of an eye. Durand is now facing attacks from three directions at the same time!
Durand couldn't help frowning slightly.
At this time, he could not do anything, because in every branch and root, there was a wisp of split souls, and at this time, all the split souls were under the domination of the core soul to attack Duland, and they had no time to enter the fruit!
"Mr. Duland!" The most powerful of the distracted souls said anxiously, "I ...... I'm out of my own control anymore! The core soul has already given the order to attack, and I can't resist. The same goes for the other Soul Splits. If this continues, we will not be able to enter the fruit and turn into seeds! Ahhh What to do, what should I do?! ”
"Don't make noise! I'm trying to figure it out! Durand let out a low sigh in his heart. Interrupted the distraction that had become a little hysterical due to despair.
He grabbed it with one hand, and an ice-blue spear immediately appeared in his palm. With one arm and one grip on the body of the gun, the waist was twisted, and a large shadow of the gun swayed out densely.
This is the spear technique unique to the Moon Elves, and it is known for its dense and subtle subtlety. The ice-blue shadow of the spear spread out in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, every branch and root that attacked Durand was hit by the tip of the spear, and then frozen by the power of the strange cold. Durand carefully controlled the strength, did not hurt them, and naturally did not hurt a wisp of the soul in it.
At this moment, the ghost cried out again: "Ah, Mr. Duland, be careful, don't push too hard!" ”
"Shut up!!" Durand let out a low cry of annoyance, and while the roots and leaves of the scattered souls were struggling and trying their best to break the ice, his figure flickered again and again, and he rushed directly out of the encirclement, and then went straight to the main trunk of the ancient tree.
In the middle of the tall trunk, the huge face immediately looked at it, and the wooden eyes showed a very anthropomorphic rage.
The face on the trunk of the tree suddenly opened its mouth.
"Huh?" Durand was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in surprise.
I saw that the face opened its mouth and stretched out a wooden tongue, similar to the shape of a human tongue, but the texture was wooden. The tip of his tongue was aimed straight at Duland, and then, a little emerald green ball of light quickly condensed and formed on the tip of his tongue, expanding to the size of a water tank in a blink of an eye. The ball of light was a translucent emerald green at first, but as it swelled and grew, its color gradually changed to a deep dark green, exuding a strong breath of life.
When the dark green light ball was completely formed, the originally tall and full trunk of the tree actually dried up little by little, and many roots and branches that were frozen by the cold also quickly turned yellow and then withered.
Seeing this, Durand's face couldn't help but change suddenly, he glanced at it quickly, and saw that the branch where the strongest split soul was located was fine, and he was slightly relieved.
If you read it correctly, this dark green ball of light directly extracted about 30% of the ancient tree's vitality, and it was an attack at the cost of nearly one-third of his life!
So Durand knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and that he had to settle the battle as quickly as possible.
"Humph!" Duland's face flashed with coldness, and he suddenly stomped on the ground with a heavy foot, and his figure disappeared into place out of thin air, and the next moment appeared directly on the trunk of the tree.
He clasped the tree with one hand and hung his body, and with the other hand he held the musket Hese, and the dark and deep muzzle of the gun was instantly aimed at the dark green ball of light on the tip of his tongue that had not yet had time to shoot.
Durand's expression was extremely indifferent, and then in the screams of the distracted souls, he pulled the trigger of the musket!
