Chapter 179: The City of Ancient Trees - Terramis (3)

Time had slipped through imperceptibly, and half a month had passed since the teleportation had gone wrong and landed in the Denzel Forest. During this time, Chen Kai and the others were first moving in the dark forest, but now they are moving on the slightly brighter forest road.

Compared to the speed of moving in the dark forest before, Chen Kai and the others were moving much faster now, because the combined distance of the previous five or six days was not as far as the subsequent three days of moving on the forest road. After all, in the environment of one foot deep and one foot shallow in the forest, the distance that Chen Kai and his legs can move is quite limited, and although they will always encounter all kinds of troubles on this road, the actual movement speed is much faster.

After all, in the forest environment, Chen Kai and his team use two legs, and now unless the road conditions are too bad, they are basically four legs. No matter how fast the two-legged one runs, it can't be compared with the four-legged one, not only because of the increase in the number of legs, but more importantly, the horse Chen Kai and they ride is used to hurry, and the endurance is definitely much stronger than that of humans themselves.

It's just that as time goes by, Chen Kai and their hearts are gradually worried, because they find that they seem to be dying. Yes! The thought was flashing in everyone's hearts, because in front of them was the ruined elven capital of Teramis, an ancient elven city dominated by fallen demons.

In the past few days, Chen Kai and the others would take out the map and study it almost every day, wanting to see if they could bypass Terramis and go directly to the Elven Empire, but there was no surprise, all of them were nothing. Of course, it is not that there is no such thing as nothing, as long as they are willing to take a detour of about three or four hundred kilometers through dangerous forest areas. Then you can bypass Teramis.

The choice of whether to continue into the dangerous territory of Teramis, or to choose a detour of three or four hundred kilometers through the dangerous forest to reach the Elven Empire is a dilemma. For both the former and the latter are dangerous, and no one can be sure that there is no more terrible monster in the forest than the polluted, and everyone is sure that there must be some kind of existence in Teramis that is dangerous. For the unknown danger, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and even if it is the known danger, that is, Teramis, Chen Kai, they do not have any bottom in their hearts. Because there are not many descriptions of the dangers in Teramis in Scheer's diary, if not very little. Because Scheer and the others did not take the initiative to touch Teramis, but were forcibly brought in by those who were contaminated, and in the end, only a few people escaped, and Chen Kai and the others found the bodies of two people. One became a zombie, also known as Scheer, and the other became a skeleton.

In the end, Chen Kai and the others chose to move forward along the road after careful calculation, even if Terramis was very dangerous. But that's how they got to Teramis. Of course, the person who finally decided on this path was neither Chen Kai nor Xu Fei. It's Nero Aru. After gradually regaining his power, the legendary spellcaster is gradually regaining his former power, even in the case of Bartley, a centuries-old loli. Elven mages are inferior to ordinary people when their strength wanes, but when their strength gradually recovers, then they are legendary spellcasters.

Of course, these elven mages undoubtedly looked much better to Chen Kai than to others, if it weren't for Chen Kai risking his life to bring back the corpses of the demigods for them. Perhaps it will take a very long time for Nero Alu and the others to regain their strength. So in fact, Nero Ailu and the others are very grateful to Chen Kai and them. If it weren't for that, Count Shippening wouldn't have been asked to complete such a deal in the stronghold. But in this matter, all the elven mages were very persistent. Because they really want to see what the companions of the Elven Empire were like thousands of years ago, and at the same time, they hope to find some of the lost books of the Elven race from Teramis.

So at Nero Alu's insistence, Chen Kai and the others continued to move forward on the road. And it is getting closer and closer to the heart of the Denzel Forest, where Telamis is located. As the capital of the Elven Empire, Terramis is known as the City of Ancient Trees in the history of the Elves, as it sits in the middle of a huge primeval forest. The closer to the center of a forest is, the older the forest becomes, and almost all of the places where Terramis is located are trees that are more than a thousand years old or even thousands. Therefore, when Chen Kai and the others were walking on the road, the diameter of the trees around them became thicker and thicker, the trees around Ruser Enzhular were almost one meter in diameter, and now the trees around Chen Kai and them were two meters in diameter. The thick poles of the trees pierced the sky from the ground like giant hands, and the height of these trees was quite terrifying. In the place where Chen Kai and the others first fell, the tree was more than 30 meters high, but now the shortest tree around them is also nearly 50 meters high.

The huge tree body has a lifespan of more than a thousand years, and the appearance of these thousand-year-old trees also shows one thing, that is, Teramiss is not far from Chen Kai and them. However, before that, Chen Kai and the others did something to destroy the environment, that is, they cut down several thousand-year-old oak trees, and obtained three oak hearts with thousand-year-old precipitation for Illian. With these three Oak Hearts, Illion can summon the Oak Giant. It's just that he doesn't know if these overly green-looking Oak Hearts will be able to summon Oak Giants, or what the consequences of summoning Oak Giants in the Denzel Forest will be. After all, this forest has a very strong suppression of natural spells, and the oak giant undoubtedly belongs to natural spells.

At the same time, if the Oak Giant is used, then Ilian's current magic power will not be able to support the Oak Giant for too long. Because most of his magic power is now feeding a growing realm seed, and when this seed grows, he can enter a legendary realm that he could not have imagined in the past. It's just that the final outcome of his practice of using external forces to improve his strength is to support the role of a low-level legendary mage in this life, and he will never be able to bring the crown of the Great Magister that should belong to the legendary caster.

However, it was a very fortunate thing for Illion to be able to become a legendary mage, and even if he couldn't get the title of archmage that matched the legendary caster, he didn't think it mattered much. It's just that because of the problem of obtaining the domain seed, he needs to spend a lot of magic to cultivate it. thus reducing his combat effectiveness in disguise. There was no other way for Illion to deal with such a situation than to be depressed.

This is a common situation for several elven mages, but the amount of magic they can wield is gradually increasing over time, but it is a little different for Ilian. Because he wasn't originally a legendary mage, the less magic he could wield as the seed grew larger over time. On the contrary, because other elven mages used the fragments of the realm world to restore their original realm, although their strength was very low at the beginning, as the realm gradually recovered, their lost power would return, so they became stronger and stronger as time went on.

It's just that at present, the strength of several elven mages is about the same as that of low-level archmages, and they are slightly worse than Illian. It's just that all the natural casters in the Denzel Forest have been restrained and their strength has decreased, so Ilian's strength has been reduced to the same level as other elven mages.

But even so, several elven mages felt that relying on their own strength should be able to ensure the safety of everyone through Teramis, so when Nero Aru proposed to abandon the detour through Teramis. Except for Chen Kai and them. Not a single elven mage objected.

As time went on, Chen Kai and the others had felt that the trees around them were getting older and older. When the long forest passage suddenly lit up, Chen Kai and the others found that they had walked out of the forest road. Everyone sat down on the horses, their hooves stepped on a black land, and under the gradually falling sun, a city covered by forests was lying in front of Chen Kai and them.

Under the burning sunset, the city is filled with a sense of vicissitudes that transcend time, but also gives a sense of extreme danger. It's as if a prehistoric beast is ready to swallow every qiē that enters the city. And the remains of three huge ancient trees of life in the distance filled the entire city with desolation. As the Ancient Tree of Life second only to the World Tree. Each Ancient Living Tree is hundreds of meters tall. The whole body is full of life and nature. But the three collapsed ancient trees of life in front of them, Chen Kai, they only felt the breath of death and corruption, although the sunset had not disappeared, but Chen Kai and they still felt gusts of cold wind drilling into their bodies.

"I think we should go back and wait until dawn before we enter the city!" Chen Kai exhaled and said, although he felt that this was his own delusion. But he did see his exhaled breath turn into a white mist, which only appeared when the temperature dropped below ten degrees.

"That boss! We can't seem to go back! Fei Yun looked behind him, but suddenly saw that the place where it should have been the road was being obscured by the forest, and the rustling of branches echoed in everyone's ears like a mockery.

"Damn! Did this forest bring us here on purpose? Chen Kai bit it to the death, there is no doubt that it will definitely be even more miserable if he retreats into the forest at this moment, if it is really what Chen Kai said, then there are definitely other things waiting for Chen Kai in the forest.

"What now? Lord Nero Alu? Chen Kai asked at the elven mage, even the elven mage was a little underestimated in this situation, so she didn't react for a long time after Chen Kai finished speaking. But in the end, she finally came back to her senses a little, and quickly raised her finger and pointed in one direction.

"Go to the Temple of Nature! Fast! Get in before the sun goes down completely! After Nero Elu's voice fell, he sent a message to everyone to bless a natural swiftness, and then quickly rushed in the direction of the temple of nature. Because she knew that according to the current situation, once it was completely dark, the city would become more dangerous, and now Nero Eru no longer had the original idea that she could calmly enter Teramis as long as she was a fairy mage.

Reality is like a giant hammer that shatters the delusions in the minds of all elven mages in an instant, unless they completely recover their full strength now, there is absolutely no way to deal with the next situation. Therefore, finding a shelter is the most important thing, and there is only one place in the whole of Teramis, and that is the Temple of Nature. The situation in the temple of Rutherndral gave Nero Aru a glimmer of life, and if the temple of Terramis could also be enveloped by the aura of the goddess of nature, then they could survive the night in peace.

But the problem is that it is less than half an hour before the sun goes down, and Chen Kai and the others have to run to the Natural Temple, unless they run wildly, it is impossible to enter the city in half an hour. Not to mention running to the natural temple in the middle of the city. So they had to speed up, and the dwarves were very frustrated about this, because they didn't know anything about how to control their horses.

Fortunately, under Lal's control, the dwarves only need to hold their horses and prevent themselves from being turned upside down from their horses. When Nero Ailu rushed out, although Chen Kai was still a little suspicious of this, he still chased after him. All of them rode their horses and galloped towards the ancient temple of Teramis, where there had been no visitors outside the forest for a long time.

The horse's hooves nailed to the metal iron hooves fell heavily to the ground, and a large cloud of crumbs appeared on the black-brown ground when the horses' hooves were trampled on. In less than five minutes, Chen Kai and the others had already rushed towards Teramis City for thousands of kilometers, and if they rested on a really flat place, then they could at least rush out of several kilometers in this time. It's a pity that this city of ancient trees is full of crooked roots, especially the fallen ancient trees that have almost destroyed many streets in the city. Although Nero Aru knew the direction of the Temple of Nature. But she underestimated the complexity of the road. After all, this is the capital of the Elven Empire thousands of years ago. Even if the current capital of the Elven Empire has hardly changed much after a thousand years, there must be some places that will be different from the capital as a companion.

These different places are now fatal things, and they must rush into the temple before the sun sets, but they are constantly slowing down due to the unfamiliar road. The most important thing is that the city is huge. As the companion capital of the Elven Empire, even in the last century, it was a huge city with a population of millions. It's just that more than 40 percent of the city is in the woods. And even after a thousand years, when you look down at the sky, you can see the most green forests.

Of course, the central outline of the city is still there, but the city does not have many city walls. Because for the elves, the whole forest is their wall. As long as the Ancient Tree of Life is still there, then they can mobilize the power of the forest to block the invaders, but unfortunately, the demon master back then directly tore through the space and descended into the city. Therefore, the three Ancient Trees of Life had no time to mobilize the power of the entire forest before they had to enter a state of war with the Demon Master, so the city's outer preservation status was still very intact. But the further you go inside the city, the worse it gets.

It's just that Chen Kai and they are still surrounding the road outside the city, although the periphery of the city is very intact, but it can definitely not be said that it has not been destroyed at all. The danger of the Demon Domination's invasion was absolutely terrifying, and the uprooted ancient tree was thrown out of the center of the city thousands of meters away and landed on the outskirts of the city, and then became an obstacle to everyone's way. In order to get around this giant tree that fell on the ground and was nearly 10 meters thick and 100 meters long, Chen Kai and his family needed to spend an extra three or four minutes around two streets to get to Guò, and there should be many such situations in the city.

But even if there are many special circumstances, Chen Kai and they have to move forward, and when they rush into the city, they can actually only go one way to the dark. They could only follow Nero Aru for now, and as for whether they could reach the Temple of Nature before dark, everyone had little hope when they saw the sun that was only half above the horizon.

Looking at the sun as it faded into the horizon, everyone could already feel a chill hovering around their bodies. Spells such as Divine Protection and Protective Curse, which had been blessed before entering the city, had been fully activated at the moment, but it was precisely because of this that the mood of the crowd became even more unsightly. Because the spell protection being activated can only indicate one thing, and that is that they are now being attacked by some kind of force. Seeing this situation, they could only pray that the divine protection on their bodies was strong enough, and the curse protection on their bodies could be stronger, but when they thought of the natural temple that was almost far away in the sky, everyone's mood was dim.

But at this time, a very small temple appeared in everyone's field of vision, of course, maybe Nero Elu didn't notice it at this moment, but Chen Kai saw it. Without hesitation, he gave a whistle to Laer, and then in a burst of neighing of war horses, all the horses followed Chen Kai and turned around and rushed towards the small temple not far away.

"Get in!!" When he arrived at the entrance of the temple, Chen Kai directly put the war horse inside, there is no doubt that this temple is very small, because it must only be a subsidiary temple or should it be said to be a church for those residents to pray on the outskirts of the city. The whole house is a little dim under the erosion of time, but it is also a temple anyway.

After everyone entered the temple, Chen Kai quickly closed the door of the temple with force, and several elven mages began to bless the natural power everywhere in the temple. At the same time, Chen Yi and Faye Wong also began to arrange the altar, and now at this time, no one knows what can work, whether the goddess of nature, who has fallen silent, will show miracles or the power of the goddess of life can help everyone, and no one has a bottom in their hearts.
