The dungeons in the early stage were all of a low level, and they could completely crush them, so they proceeded quickly. Originally, they could have gone their separate ways to quickly wipe out these copies, but Xia Chiyu was worried that these people would be careless and didn't notice many details, so they had to go out in person and go to each copy in person.

After all, they didn't play for equipment and experience, but for the key plot of it.

When the new version is released, the fog of war on the continent of the other four races is also dispelled, and waypoints and ports appear, allowing them to teleport directly and travel to the corresponding continent by boat.

In addition to humans, each race has its own main city, for example, the dwarven clan is the underground rock city "Izes", the elven clan is the "Emerald Source" of the Yongchun Forest, the main city of the orc clan is the hunting place "Hanyu", and the main city of the dragon clan is the abandoned dragon cave "Dragon's Breath Abyss".

The reason why there are these main cities is because these races are newly opened, and they have not already built a large number of cities like humans, so the Hakutsuru Corporation has provided these four large cities for these four new races as temporary garrisons to facilitate players to communicate with each other. After that, players will slowly build new cities on their own.

Of course, in fact, there are different ways to complete the alliance mission, and the treatment of players in these main cities is also different.

If it is like Xia Chiyu and others, who gain the support of the other party through their prestige, then human beings will be treated more kindly in the city, and there will be discounts when buying and selling goods, and the handling fee will also be reduced.

However, if the other two races use violence and trickery to gain each other's support, then humans will be spurned by NPCs in these cities, and many shops and shops will be open to players of that race. However, it will not be available to human players.

At the end of this mission against the demons, the support gained through violence and deception will disappear, and the two races will become hostile to humanity. Players of hostile forces will not appear red name when they kill each other in the field, and they can also choose to communicate normally, but they will be attacked by city defense equipment when entering the opponent's main city.

Xia Chiyu and the others came to the Jade Source first, although he didn't know what the main city of the elf clan was like before. But now this place is so beautiful. The source of the jade is actually a towering World Tree, and this tree is the shadow of the giant tree that Xia Chiyu and the others had seen when they came to this continent to explore before.

And the main city of the elves is built on the root of this tree, which is the bottom of the tree. The roots of the World Tree are hundreds of meters high, and they are made into a staircase, and the city is above this staircase. Xia Chiyu and the others went up this staircase, and there were no monsters near the main city, so they could enjoy the scenery around the Emerald Source very well.

Green is always pleasing to the eye, and although the Emerald Source is a tree, it is also overgrown with other plants. There are many fruits and vegetables that can still be eaten directly, and the taste is also very good. For this, Awakening seems to be very unhappy.

"You know what? When Lao Tzu came here, it was full of monsters, and the food was all poisonous, and the surrounding ice and snow were so pleasant. Su Xing said very dissatisfied.

"Why do you say like we're sitting back and enjoying it?" Xia Chiyu replied angrily, "It's not that I told you to find another way." Can you get this place back to its current state? ”

Xia Chiyu heard Su Xing say that the interior of the World Tree had been eroded before. A "demon moth" appeared, corroding the power of the World Tree, and this continent was actually located on the huge and complex root system of the World Tree, so the power of the World Tree weakened and withered, causing the entire continent to fall into a state of ice and snow.

After that, Awakening finds a way and enters the World Tree with Lacey. Killing the demon moth, and then using the potion made of alchemy to help the World Tree quickly recover, this only restored the continent to its former prosperity. Xia Chiyu then understood why they felt very strange when they came to this continent before.

It's not that they've come to a new continent, it's that it's not the same as the last time they came.

Soon. They climbed the stairs to the Emerald Source at the bottom of the World Tree. There is no trace of man-made in this place, and almost all of it is "natural". The castle walls are made of thick oily vines, and the houses in the city are all made directly from plants from the World Tree.

However, in fact, many of the plants here are made by the elves with their own magic summonings, and they are not completely natural. However, the climate here is quite good, with warm winters and cool summers, fresh air and abundant natural resources.

Coming to the city, Xia Chiyu and the four of them wandered around here for a while, and first walked around the shops here, intending to buy some elven specialties. And the specialties here are basically linked to plants, such as a variety of delicious preserved fruits and dried fruit snacks, special elf brewed fruit wine, and a variety of unique vegetarian dishes, all of which taste quite good.

"Eat fish, did you know that each race has its own proprietary recipe?" Zhang Zinuo asked with a smile.

"Really?" Xia Chiyu didn't seem very interested, but soon he felt the murderous aura behind him, so he immediately smiled happily: "What are they?" When you learn it, you must make it for me to taste. ”

"This guy, it's so natural to change his face, it's just quiet." Su Xing wiped a cold sweat on the side and replied, then curiously looked at Ye Siman who was eating preserved fruits, and asked, "Xiaoman, do you like to eat this?" ”

"Well, I've always loved eating preserved fruits. But the preserved fruits here are particularly delicious, just sweet and sour. Ye Siman said happily and took a bite on the emerald green preserved fruit in his hand.

"Good! This time, I'll go out and buy a lot of them for you, and put them in the apartment to eat slowly. Wake nodded vigorously.

And Zhang Zinuo turned his anger into laughter: "Yes, the elves are very good at making vegetarian dishes, and then the dwarves are very good at some very peculiar underground food, the orcs are good at all kinds of meat cooking, and the dragon people, you know, they are actually good at soups!" All kinds of thick soups, as well as boiled soups. It's very interesting. ”

"Really? It's good if you think it's interesting. Xia Chiyu couldn't help but smile and touched Zhang Zinuo's brain.

Everyone understands the game differently and enjoys it differently, and this is the best example of this.

Li Feifei on the side asked curiously: "What does the dwarf's underground food mean?" ”

"You can think of it as seafood, although it is weird, but it tastes basically the same as seafood." Zhang Zinuo explained with a smile. and Li Feifei and Nadya began to discuss the food of various races. But Lacey and Guchinyan's focus is not on food, they have something they like.

"Well, it's a good wine." A rare hint of pleasure appeared on Gu Qinyan's face.

"It's true that I think it's very wine-like, but the astringency is very light, and the aroma of grapes and alcohol is strong. It's green though......" Reis nodded happily as well. Gu Qinyan slapped Lacey's chest: "I heard them say that the dragon breath spirit of the dragon people has an alcohol content of seventy percent, and it will really spew fire after drinking. ”

"Oh? Then you must taste it......" Lacey said with interest, and began to discuss the wine with Gu Qinyan eagerly. For a while, it seemed that only Xia Chiyu did not blend in with everyone.

It's no wonder, because what Xia Chiyu is interested in is not in any store.

"Let's go shopping, I'll go to the National Library here." Xia Chiyu instructed everyone, and at this time, Liu Yiyu immediately followed, and said with a smile: "I want to go with you to eat fish, I like to listen to your stories the most." ”

"What is there to talk about...... Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile, and then stretched out his index finger and flicked it on Liu Yiyu's forehead.

Then the two of them arrived at the Elven National Library. Everything about the elves is "natural", but compared to the architecture of humans and dwarves. It's missing some grandiose feeling. For example, the so-called "National Library" is actually a slightly larger cabinet, with a total size of less than 50 square meters.

Of course, this is mainly because there is not much history here. The elves have an infinite lifespan, and they rarely do anything, basically just recording the past patriarch changes and internal conflicts within the race.

But the elves are a peaceful race. Even if there are internal contradictions, they will only be expelled through consultation and parliamentary voting, and there will be no various fights and killings like human beings. And there are only a few players in the library to read in it, obviously there are very few players like Xia Chiyu who prefer the internal information of the game.

Xia Chiyu briefly flipped through it and recorded some information that might be useful. He nodded to Liu Yiyu and signaled that she could leave. Liu Yiyu immediately followed behind Xia Chiyu and asked, "What did you find?" ”

"Let's talk slowly when we get into the dungeon." Xia Chiyu replied, "Actually, there aren't many things. ”

Immediately, Xia Chiyu made peace with Gu Qinyan and the others outside, and then prepared to march to the first copy.

This first copy is actually located at the root of the World Tree. But to get to the roots, you have to go down from the inside of the Emerald Source, which is covered with plants and rocks.

This quest is called "Abyss Cave", and it is the first crucial quest and the first key plot to figure out how to deal with the demons. Because according to the players on the forum, this abyss cave is actually a research institute used by alchemist Li Yi in the past, and there may be some useful information left there.

After buying the local products of the elves, they began to make their way down through the sewer system of the Emerald Source.

Soon, they found a gap in the sewer system and followed it downward. Then Xia Chiyu knew that they had found the right place.

Because all the buildings of the elves, even the drainage system, are very "natural", they are not drainage pipes, but directly use some plants that can filter sewage to separate, but in this gap, there is a metal gate that is obviously made of hand, which is obviously a trace left by humans.

"Why is this guy in the city of elves?" Gu Qin asked puzzledly, "Isn't he a human?" "Well, that's right." Xia Chiyu explained, "After all, humans were the main food of the demon race back then, so some humans fled to other races in order to avoid the pursuit of the demon race. This is also the reason why there is a little bit of human culture in places of other races. However, don't forget that the main city of the Emerald Source had not yet been built in this place, and when Li Yi came, this was just the World Tree, and there was no main city. "Well, that's right. The elves came to this continent after they were expelled, and at that time the Great War of Gods and Demons had ended, and Li Yi started his research before the Great War of Gods and Demons, so he should have come here before the current elves. "Awakening the head is the explanation of the Tao." That's it, the elves found this monument when they came here, so they recorded it, otherwise I wouldn't have found it so quickly. Xia Chiyu continued to explain, "According to the records, the World Tree already existed when this world appeared. The elves consider this tree to be the 'Primordial Tree', also known as the 'Tree of Life'. Because they believe that the tree predates the Creator and that all life is born on the basis of the tree. And the root system of this tree is all over and throughout the world of AO. "Then why is this guy here doing research?" Gu Qinyan continued to ask.

Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders: "It's just my guess, do you remember that the Protoss and the Demon Race were actually the first species to be born, earlier than humans?" And if according to the theory of the elves, this world spreads with the World Tree as the 'root', then the birth of the Protoss and the Demon Race may be related to this tree. Li Yi probably thought the same way, so he came to this place and started his own research, looking for the connection between the World Tree and the 'Origin'. “

As for the abyssal cavern, the monsters in it are actually very easy to deal with, after all, it is only a level fifteen to twenty copy. Most of the monsters in this are some creatures that live in the root of the World Tree that have been mutated because of the alchemy products left over by Li Yi back then, such as earthworms, moles or various insects, although they look terrifying, but for Xia Chiyu, a group of players who are level seventy to ninety, it is a bit ......

Their purpose was originally to be familiar with the plot, so they quickly cleaned up all the monsters and bosses in this dungeon, and then came to the final destination, in front of Li Yi's research institute, where there are not only the "results" of the first plot, but also the "clues" that lead them to the second dungeon. (To be continued.) )
