Chapter 864: The Way of Nature (18)
"Hehehe!" Elder Treeman's laughter sounded like thunder in the sky, and he couldn't hear the emotion, but it gave people a taste that didn't seem like appreciation, "I did live a little longer and know a little more things, but you're not an ordinary young minotaur, are you?" I'm afraid that your appearance and age don't match your real age......"
I said, "Well, I'm fourteen years old. ”
"How is that possible?" Elder Treant didn't show the slightest hint of surprise or disbelief, but he could see that he was confident in his judgment.
"Are you so self-righteous when you're old?" Leo also seemed a little disappointed, "I didn't expect wood to have wisdom and be as ...... as people"
Elder Treant continued, "In that case, I'm waiting for your good news......
While talking to the Elder Treeman, the speed at which I absorbed energy did not slow down at all, and even increased, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex was even more open to eating, and even my stomach had increased visibly......
Actually, we weren't so fast when we were in the Santas Energy Core Zone. Because the Tyrannosaurus rex hadn't yet evolved at that time, I didn't have as deep and thorough understanding of aether particles as I do now.
Now, 20 minutes of absorption is completely equivalent to more than an hour in the energy core area, and even surpasses.
It was almost time, I stopped absorbing, looked at the energy full of my body, and the energy cycle of the whole system that was constantly transformed into the energy of various systems, and felt the further improvement of my strength, and stopped the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Next, we walked through two broken grass walls to a third wall.
Then we walked through it easily and without hindrance.
"Huh......"
The voice of the Elder Tree Man was like a large bell ringing in the ground, deep and dull.
I didn't bother and picked up my pace.
Ahead, one wall after another was like a disembodied phantom, and I was like a blind man who was completely unaffected, breaking through the illusion layer by layer.
I knew that the Elder Treant would definitely ask out loud, but after he let out this surprised "huh", within seconds of asking, I had already carried the Tyrannosaurus Rex through at least ten high walls.
The process is not simple.
If this is a turf wall of surprising thickness, in fact, it is not very difficult to escape.
The difficulty is that between the two walls, you need to constantly switch between the wind and the wood, so that you can smoothly shuttle between the turf wall and the air.
It also strengthened my control over the art of retreat, which is another form of training.
"What is this......" After five seconds, Elder Treant's question finally spoke.
I didn't stop and replied, "That's how I found it!" ”
Elder Treant suddenly fell silent.
I continued on my way, covering almost twenty kilometers in three minutes.
At this speed, it can barely reach the vicinity of the giant tree.
However, when I ran for nearly four minutes, the high wall in front of me suddenly disappeared.
I stopped and looked at the giant trees that stood dozens of kilometers away and were even more spectacular and majestic than Santas's Sage Tower.
"You have passed the test...... said the Elder Treeman, "your understanding of nature, your closeness to trees, has reached a level where even I cannot see clearly!" ”
I looked around and found no trees other than the giant trees, not even the high walls.
Elder Treants didn't seem to be around, or rather, out of sight.
"Where?" I asked Leo.
"It's all over the place." Leo said.
I was stunned for a moment.
"Hehe, are you looking for me?" The voice of the Elder Treant came out again.
As Leo said, this voice comes from up, down, back, back, left, right, everywhere.
I seemed to understand something, but I wasn't sure, and looked around again.
"Hehe, you can't see me, like I almost couldn't see you just now......" Elder Treant's voice suddenly became much friendlier.
"This land is his," Leo said, "and it has become one with the Caspar Tree!" ”
I looked at the giant tree in amazement.
"Oh? Seen so quickly? Elder Treant was a little surprised, "I haven't figured out how you just got through my roots......"
Then I realized that the test I had passed was only on his roots.
Of course, he can't see through my retreat, which means that his understanding of the ether has not yet grasped the essence, even if his strength is on par with the Lord of Ron City, or even surpasses, I am sure to ensure my own safety.
Of course, looking at the current atmosphere, he is very curious and appreciative of me, and the dissatisfaction that arose in front may have dissipated.
And I retain a minimum of vigilance, which is also the edification of Leo, but even if I don't trust the other party's meaning, I must be prepared to do it, as long as it is not easily revealed, there will be no problem, this is a mature way of thinking.
This is what I learned from Leo, and I have not completely let down the last bit of guard against him, even though I have reached such a point of trust.
Of course, Leo knew what I was thinking, and he even made it clear and said, "I know, but so what? As long as we have a common goal and demand, even the God of Slaughter can give it a go. ”
Come to think of it, I never let go of my guilt for him, but he never cared. I admire this and I want to learn it.
And this does not affect the mutual trust and tacit understanding that we have now.
For Treant Elders, that's even less to say.
"I've passed your test, haven't I?" I say.
I didn't speak to the Tree Man Elder, but there was a change in front of my eyes.
Suddenly, a bag of dirt more than three meters high rose from the ground.
Then, the soil bag cracked, and a tree man more than three meters tall shook off the grass clippings and dust all over his body, and walked out with a shaking head.
The Treant did come out, his feet not stuck into the earth, but bent like roots sticking out of the surface, a bit like an octopus walking on land moving with tentacles.
"You have indeed passed my test." The tree man spoke.
I was a little confused, and Leo said, "It's just a stand-in." ”
It dawned on me.
The Treant continued, "By the way, I don't know your name yet, young Minotaur, and you have the right to be a friend of the Treant!" By the way, my name is Pasettal. ”
"Dear Elder Pasettal, I am the Minotaur Billhorn Bloody Hammer Doon." I changed my tone to something more formal.
"Mom, what's the big guy?" The Overlord asked suddenly.
"Don't worry," I reassured it, and then said to Elder Pasetar of the Treants, "I'm sorry, Elder ......"
Pasetar didn't mind, but said with interest: "You are a promising young man, and your pet is also very powerful, by the way, what are you here for?" Found a way to the legend? I'm afraid I can't help you......"
I said, "Well, that's not one of my main goals. ”
Pasettar's stand-in is now a little taller than mine, but his face appears in the middle and upper part of the trunk, under the canopy, at first glance, his eyes are actually a little lower than mine, and his face is old and kind, with the facial features of humans, elves, and some orcs, but it also gives people a sense of easy approachability.
Of course, most of the treants are also in this image, and even the lowest, summonable treants have an old face in the canopy.
If this goes to Leo's mouth, it will be a good material for complaining.
"Are these elm-bumpy guys all carved out of a template? Can't you change to a younger one? It would be better if you didn't change the face of a beautiful woman......"
When I thought about it for a while, it seems that the tree people do not distinguish between male and female, or, from a genetic point of view, most of them belong to the angiosperm class, and the flowers are male and female, and most of them are considered male and female......
Thinking about this, I can't help but laugh a little in my heart.
"What is your purpose?" "Do you just want to hear my story?" ”
"Yes," I said, "some of the stories you know, about the wood plane, or even the things you've heard about the main plane and other planes, maybe they will inspire me......"
Passertar said, "Well, there is nothing special about what I have experienced, although I was called to the main plane and other planes when I was young, but they are ordinary things, you may find them in the annals of elves or humans, but if you don't dislike me as an old fellow, I can tell you about it, but I would also like to hear your understanding of the way of nature, especially ...... just now."
I knew he had developed a keen interest in the art of retreat, but I wasn't going to talk about the aether theory, so I said, "Regarding my understanding, if you are interested, Elder, I don't mind sharing it with you. ”
Pasetar was very pleased, and an even kinder smile appeared on his old face: "That's great, old fellow, I've lived for such a long time, and I've never seen you shuttle like this without leaving a trace, and you can ignore my blockade of space......"
To be honest, I'm curious about how he sealed off the space, in principle, to use Leo's previous example, that is, the two-dimensional paper is turned into a hard state like a steel plate that is difficult to bend, and if the paper cannot be folded, the teleportation cannot be carried out.
However, such a skill seems to have reached the legendary level, and with enough energy and telekinesis, it can achieve the effect of blocking space within a local range.
"That's good," Mr. Passertal said, "and it's fair that we take what we need." But before that, I have some doubts about your profession, you're not a pure druid, are you? ”
