Chapter 519: The Secret of the World Tree
"Then let's see, what's in there." Xia Chiyu said and pushed open the door in front of him. A creepy crack opened the door, and what appeared in front of him was more of a gloomy cell than a laboratory. There wasn't even a window in the place, and now it was a mess, with parchment strewn all over the floor.
Xia Chiyu and the others began to sort out the materials on the scene, ready to see what secrets there were here.
However, there was no useful information on the parchment on the ground, most of them were lists of experimental data and various materials that they could not read, but in the end, they found a "mutilated research diary" here.
This diary records the purpose and reason why Li Yi came here, but it is actually very simple and clichΓ©. At that time, in order to escape the attack of the demons, he took his wife and children to live in seclusion, but one day when he returned from a trip, his wife and children were buried in the belly of the demons, so the heartbroken Li Yi began his revenge plan.
He used to be an excellent alchemist, and he, like Xia Chiyu, guessed that the origin of this world, the "World Tree", might have something to do with the demons and the gods, according to some documents, so he came here to investigate.
However, the research here is only for the World Tree, and Li Yi analyzes its structure by studying its sap, cells, and magic, and applies the magic of the World Tree to other creatures.
However, the final conclusion was that the magic of the World Tree was actually a "chaotic" force, and its effects on living beings varied, sometimes giving organisms unusually powerful physical bodies, and other times giving them higher intelligence.
So, in the end, it was concluded that the chaotic power of the World Tree. It could be a mixture of the power of the demons and the gods. The power that can make creatures have a strong physical body is the origin of the power of the demons, and the power that can make living beings have high wisdom may be the origin of the power of the gods.
However, these are only inferences drawn by Li Yi, and the plot line of this copy ends here. Since he could not obtain samples of the blood of the demons and the blood of the gods, this conclusion could not be confirmed, so Li Yi left with his research results on the World Tree. He traveled to his next destination to continue his next research.
From here, it can actually be seen that Li Yi's mental aspect began to have certain problems. Probably because of his hatred of the demons, his psychology has been distorted, and the experiments he carried out in the World Tree have already shown a tendency to be cruel, and the experiments he has done on the creatures here are sensational, and all the monsters in the copy of the Pit of the Abyss are the products of his experiments.
"These animals are so pitiful, they are innocent, but they are going to be turned into these horrible creatures and then killed here." Yuxi remembered the monsters they had killed before. I couldn't help but sigh.
"Did you know she picked up two stray cats and came home? Did I tell me about it? Gu Qinyan muttered to Xia Chiyu in a low voice.
"Nope." Xia Chiyu replied with a dry smile, Gu Qinyan shook his head, and snorted with his nose: "You don't know the smell of cat urine, it stinks...... It's rare to hear about it in life. I'm afraid that the next time she sees a stray dog abandoned on the side of the road, she will pick it up again. I'm a cleanliness man. β
Gu Qinyan said, hugged his arms, and the three people at the scene, Xia Chiyu, Su Xing and Reis, were silent and did not make any comments. Then, Gu Qinyan continued to ask: "By the way, do any of you have any plans to raise a cat?" β
"Nope." Xia Chiyu, Su Xing and Reis replied together. Reis smiled wryly and said: "Although I understand Yuxi's behavior very well, I see stray cats and dogs on the side of the road will also take them home." But I feel like it's your responsibility, Qinyan. β
"Tsk......" Gu Qin took a sip unhappily and muttered something beside him.
"Have you ever considered getting a pet or something?" At this time, Zhang Zinuo asked with interest.
"If I can, I hope someone can adopt my single dog...... Xia Chiyu said with a dry smile, "But, to be honest, I don't really want to raise it." It's not that I like it. On the contrary, it was precisely because I liked it so much that I vowed never to have any pets again after the last time my dog died of illness. So ......"
"That's ......," Zhang Zinuo pursed his lips and smiled.
"Why is this all here? Shouldn't we now move on to the next dungeon? At this time, Su Xing finally realized that something was wrong, and interrupted everyone's conversation angrily.
"Ahh Yeah. Xia Chiyu was also very happy to bring the topic back to the topic, and then continued to look through the mutilated research diary: "According to the diary, Li Yi's next research goal is ...... is looking for an assistant. β
"Assistant?" Liu Yiyu asked puzzled, Xia Chiyu nodded and said, "That's right, because he doesn't have much combat power himself, so he needs an assistant who is strong enough to help him get the samples he needs." β
"So...... What's his next destination? Lin Qianxue asked curiously.
"Is it another city?" Nadya asked excitedly.
"Unfortunately not." Xia Chiyu immediately replied, and patiently explained: "His destination is the Dragon Breath Abyss where the dragons are, but he can't go there directly, he also needs to collect some local unique materials." β
Xia Chiyu said, narrowing his eyes: "These materials are a moderator that neutralizes the power of the World Tree, as well as a catalyst that intensifies the power of the World Tree. These materials can be found throughout the World Tree, including the young leaves in the high reaches of the World Tree. So, our next step should be to head above the World Tree. β
"Do you want to climb this thing? No kidding......" Su Xing crossed his waist, looked up at the World Tree that couldn't see the end of the sky, and said stupidly, "You know that there is an altitude limit for flying, right?" β
"However, according to the players on the forum, the entire questline here revolves around the World Tree." Xia Chiyu spread his hands and sighed, "You need to climb all the way to the top, there are a total of three dungeons, which are level twenty to twenty-five, thirty-five to forty, and the top of the World Tree from level sixty-five to seventy. β
Hearing this, Yuxi suddenly wondered, "Why is the dungeon level span at the top of the World Tree so large?" β
"Because it's not for the player to go up right away, but to come back here at some point later." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said. "But the level doesn't matter to us, it will be a problem to climb the World Tree again, so it's best to solve it all at once. When the time comes, just connect these quest lines together. β
"But how do you get up?" Lin Qianxue looked at this World Tree in distress and asked. Xia Chiyu smiled slightly: "I think the answer must be in the main city of the elf clan, let's go to the city and ask." β
After triggering this episode, some special options also appeared in the Elven and NPC dialogues.
Soon. They found out that the elves have a unique seed, and if they infuse this seed with magic or fighting energy, they will quickly grow into a thick vine, and the most amazing thing is that the magic and fighting energy in the vine can also be recycled, and after recycling, the vine will become a seed again. Kind of like a recyclable noose for climbing.
So to put it bluntly, they just want to use this seed, instill magic into the seed to make it grow, and then climb up the vine. Climb a certain distance to recover mana and seeds, and then continue to climb up. However, of course, the proportion of mana and fighting energy recovered is not calculated by 100%, but only about 40%.
However, fortunately, Xia Chiyu and the others had a level advantage, and when the World Tree was in a lower position, they had abundant external energy and nutrients, and only a small amount of magic and fighting qi were needed to make the seeds grow quickly.
After consuming only the magic power of the Awakened One, they successfully climbed to the first branch of the World Tree.
Of course. It's not that simple along the way, just climb up. Along the way, they will encounter monsters commensurate with the size of the World Tree, spiders, caterpillars, and the like. But the level is not very high.
"Alright, this is the second copy......" "Let's see, what's in there." Xia Chiyu said and pushed open the door in front of him. A creepy opening sounded, and what appeared in front of him was not so much a laboratory. It's more of a dark cell. There wasn't even a window in the place, and now it was a mess, with parchment strewn all over the floor.
Xia Chiyu and the others began to sort out the materials on the scene, ready to see what secrets there were here.
However, there was no useful message in the parchment on the ground. Most of them were lists of experimental data and various materials that they couldn't read, but in the end, they found a "mutilated research diary" here.

However, the final conclusion was that the magic of the World Tree was actually a "chaotic" force, and its effects on living beings varied, sometimes giving organisms unusually powerful physical bodies, and other times giving them higher intelligence.
Therefore, in the end, it was concluded that the chaotic power of the World Tree could be a mixture of the power of the Demon Race and the Protoss. The power that can make creatures have a strong physical body is the origin of the power of the demons, and the power that can make living beings have high wisdom may be the origin of the power of the gods.
However, these are only inferences drawn by Li Yi, and the plot line of this copy ends here.
