Chapter 56: On the Tree of Life
Standing on the cave, Ye Qi gathered away his remaining loot, and there were five left—a number that was much less than he had guessed.
However, Ye Qi, who had obtained the [Secondary Frost Breath], didn't care too much.
Ye Qi is definitely not an insatiable person.
[Balance of secondary alchemy: You may be good at alchemy and making magic equipment, but sometimes, you can put the side you are not good at and put it on the good side; Effect: When you start an alchemy, you will get an equalization hint (the difference between potions and crafting magic equipment will favor the effect of your alchemy; If the two are the same, then you will get a special option with a success rate of +20%)]
[Scales of Secondary Appraisers: When faced with an unknown item, you can pay some (Kimpton, gems, or even magic equipment) in exchange for knowledge of it (not a one-time thing, you can identify it multiple times in order to achieve the best level)]
The two unknown specialties are all inclined to support, while the remaining three are absorbed by the existing special specialties - [Nightcrawler], [Secondary Clone] and [Secondary Illusion Hazard].
However, it is clear that the limit of promotion has not been reached, and the three special specialties remain the same.
Retracting his gaze on the specialty bar, Ye Qi looked at the cave in front of him, especially the broken statues and corrupted corpses, and with a wave of his hand, the broken ice crystals and stones filled it - the Violent Corpse Wilderness, this approach, Ye Qi did not agree.
If he really hates it to the limit, he will break the other party into pieces.
And not in this slightly childish way to vent your hatred.
"I don't think it's a wise idea to go up!"
The knight who stood beside Ye Qi again. looked at Ye Qi's appearance as he prepared to continue to Xiang Lu. I couldn't help but put forward my own opinions. He said, "The three there are fundamentally different from us—not only do they have divinity, but they also have their own priesthood!" ”
"Do you have any other suggestions? Do you think I should stay here forever? ”
Ye Qi looked at the knight and pointed to the desolate surroundings - even before it was covered by the frost maiden with a blizzard and ice crystals, this place was extremely desolate, except for the stones, there was no breath of life at all.
"Stay here, you can continue to build up strength - your strength can easily reach that level, it only takes a little time!"
The knight replied.
"If you can. I thought so too...... Unfortunately, what I lack most is time; Not to mention ......"
Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders, turned around and jumped out of the platform again, and walked towards the platform, his voice getting smaller and smaller, even the knight didn't hear clearly.
However, after a slight flurry, the knight followed briskly.
Not because of anything else, but because of the contract.
If Ye Qi died, it would not be able to live. And if it dies, Ye Qi will not suffer any loss - such a slave contract. There is no fairness at all.
But it's always talked about.
The reason for this is naturally because of that kind of unfairness - any fairness is worthy of praise, and any unfairness is what the superiors yearn for.
Of course, Ye Qi didn't have such thoughts.
But the truth does not change because of a person's change of will.
So, looking at the knight who came up, he just frowned slightly, and then didn't look at the other party again - after all, the other party was only working hard for his own life.
It has nothing to do with him.
Even if it's because he's concerned about the other party's life, it's not Ye Qi's concern; After all, in the original scene, Ye Qi had no better way; Even now, if he had chosen to, he would have chosen the way he did now - the best of both worlds is not so common.
Ye Qi was in front, and the knight was a little behind, one after the other, quickly advancing towards the top of the mountain peak—at this time, he had already crossed the so-called clouds, and he couldn't even see the ground, but the top of the mountain had not appeared in front of him for a long time.
It wasn't until there was a 'day' and 'night' that the top loomed.
Looking at the huge shadow that appeared at the top, Ye Qi couldn't help but stop on the steep mountain wall, he looked at the rock, and what caught his eye was the shadow of a rock, and naturally, standing at Ye Qi's angle, he couldn't see anything except the huge shadow.
If the platform that appeared on the mountainside before appeared around the mountain with the number '7', then the top of the mountain is a 'T', and the whole mountain becomes the fulcrum there.
"Is that the top of the mountain?"
Ye Qi asked the knight beside him.
"Well, there is the top of the mountain, inhabited by the Sun King, the Broken Leg, and the Hidden King—the Sun King is the most powerful, followed by the Broken Leg, and the Hidden King; However, the most difficult is the Hidden King...... No one knows for sure what this person is thinking, so I don't think it's a good idea to be there now! ”
The knight nodded, and said everything he knew.
"The Sun King?"
Ye Qi was very concerned about such a title—as far as he knew, his contract companion was supposed to represent the sun, and after being sealed, it was his old rival who held the priesthood of the sun; Obviously, no matter which of these two people is, it will not be the 'Sun King' in front of you.
"This Sun King is a god from another complete plane, but ...... There's just no going back! ”
The knight spoke with a strange look on his face.
"Another full plane? Can't go back? ”
Ye Qi asked with a frown.
"We are in Lorante, and there are two other complete planes in the astral plane: Silu and Goddez; This Sun King is a deity from Silu; However, it is clear that it is not loved by the believers there...... Otherwise, even if you get lost in the astral plane. You can also return safely with the power of faith! ”
The knight explained.
"I think this 'Sun King' must be very angry!"
Ye Qi said with a smile.
"It's angrier than I thought...... In the records of some books. The case of two suns in the sky. I guess you're no stranger, right? ”
The knight nodded, and then, looking at Ye Qi.
"Two suns? One of them is this? ”
Ye Qi was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted - Ye Qi had seen this record more than once, not only in some hidden books, but even in some bedside stories, there were also the same records; But. Even though Ye Qi is a demon hunter, he will still suspect such a thing.
I think it's because of some misunderstanding that caused such a thing, instead of the real appearance of two suns.
"Yes, this is the ...... However, it failed in the end, and it was very miserable, and most of the priesthood was plundered by the original Lord of the Sun, and had to stay here to recuperate! The knight said slowly. However, the Lord of the Sun eventually disappeared from that battle spirit. The God of Light has taken its place! ”
"The winner is always unexpected!" The fluctuation from the [Blind Bucket Perception] made Ye Qi stop again, "There seems to be a layer of protection there?" ”
"It's a restriction for us, there's something special there—once we're close to a certain range, we're confined to that range, and we can't leave; Regardless of whether or not she has regained her divinity and priesthood, the Frost Maiden is also worried about this, so she will not move forward...... However, it is clear that the previous changes were discovered! ”
"Whatever we find, it's good news for us – at least, we're standing here now!"
Ye Qi ended the conversation with these words, and then, cautiously again, he carefully observed the so-called mountain top.
However, neither the gaze of the eyes nor the [Blind Fighting Perception] can play their due role.
The former has the obscuration of the rock, even if he has an immortal-level [perception], Ye Qi's eyes can see quite far, but he still can't see through.
And the latter?
In the midst of the layers of fluctuations, it was difficult for Ye Qi to distinguish the subtleties.
After circling the mountain, Ye Qi finally chose to move on—standing in place and observing, he understood that if he continued to wait, he would only get nothing.
"Although you have made a decision, I think you should go back the way you came!"
The knight persuaded again when Ye Qi touched the rock platform.
"I don't think there's a need to make such a proposal at all...... Or, you can wait for me here! ”
With that, Ye Qi climbed out along the rock above his head in a neat shape, and when he reached the edge, he jumped up.
After that, the knight also appeared beside Ye Qi.
"Here ......"
The knight stood beside Ye Qi, looking at everything in front of him, and suddenly, dumbfounded; In fact, it's not just it, it's Ye Qi as well.
Ye Qi had never expected such a scene to appear at the top of this peak—golden marble, pillars that only five adults could hug, and a dome that radiated endless light, and a beautiful sound came from the temple, and a bridge made entirely of jade crossed the clearly visible lake.
The resplendent is undoubtedly to describe the building in front of you.
"This is the temple of the Sun King......
After a while, the knight who came back to his senses said this.
"So, that's the other two?"
Ye Qi pointed to two strange buildings in the distance—one was a nest that looked like a rough animal, and the other was majestic, but it exuded a strong smell of blood.
And more importantly, no one can compare to the one in front of you.
In terms of scale and momentum, it is inferior by more than one point.
"That's right!"
The knight replied in the affirmative.
With this answer, Ye Qi immediately lost interest in these two strange buildings, and he looked around, looking for the target this time—according to his contract companion, it should be a box-like being; However, it is clear that there is no such presence in his sight.
It's not just that similar chests don't exist. Even the 'Sun King', 'Leg Breaker', and 'Hidden King' in the knight's mouth did not appear in front of him.
Even. There was not even a hint of fluctuation.
After entering here. The chaotic fluctuations disappeared without a trace, and the [Blind Fighting Perception] could clearly sense everything around it.
And at this moment, within the range of [Blind Fighting Perception], there was not the slightest fluctuation at all.
No matter how splendid the temple in front of you is, no matter how rough and evil the temple in the distance is, it is just a building, and although it is blessed by divine power, it is still a stone at all.
Ye Qi carefully walked along the edge of the golden temple in front of him. Then there was the rude temple, then the evil temple, he didn't go near the range of any of the temples, he just brushed the edges—although there was not the slightest fluctuation, but the structure built by the divine power was enough for him to be cautious.
After all, no one knows whether these three gods will place one or two 'cordons'.
After passing through the evil temple again, a path appeared in front of Ye Qi—unlike the previous desolation, there were flowers and trees. Although there are still no signs of animals or humans, the trail is definitely a forest path. Covered with a thick layer of thorns.
Obviously, this thorny path is definitely not a road that is often used.
Or......
Ye Qi subconsciously looked around, looking for possible roads, but in his sight, there were green forests everywhere, and there was only this one road.
And behind him, there are three different temples.
As for the sky?
Ye Qi looked at the top of his head that was full of invisible power, and wisely chose to give up - where the power was located, it was not very high, even ordinary people, after adding a run-up, they could touch the height, which was obviously not suitable for flying.
And while Ye Qi was looking around and thinking, the knight, who had been silent, suddenly walked towards the thorn-covered road; Then, before Ye Qi could stop it, he disappeared into the thorns—not to cut off the thorns to advance, but to merge into them like this.
Illusion?
Ye Qi was stunned for a moment, and then, when the knight came out again, he strode towards it.
It was like the feeling of passing his body through the water curtain, and when Ye Qi's eyes lit up again, the main body of the mountain peak appeared in front of him again, still so unattainable, he couldn't see where the peak was.
"What is this?"
Ye Qi glanced at the three temples behind him that were slightly blurred, and then looked at the main body of the mountain peak in front of him, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle together - it was obvious that the main body of this mountain peak was the one he had been climbing before, and there would never be anything wrong with that kind of color and touch.
However, at this moment, the main body of this mountain peak actually emitted bursts of fluctuations—although weak, but the kind that can be heard clearly.
This hasn't happened before!
"The Tree of Life!"
The knight replied in a low voice.
"What?"
Ye Qi's previous words were themselves self-talking, so he didn't hear the knight's answer clearly at all.
"The Tree of Life, the most magical existence in our cognition - it is still a seedling, if it really grows, it will become the Tree of the World Realm, and after that, a complete plane will be born!"
The knight explained with what he knew.
"It's just seedlings? When it grows up, it will become the World Realm Tree and give birth to a complete plane? ”
Ye Qi looked at the knight in surprise - although Ye Qi had tried his best to keep his composure, everything in front of him was so incredible.
That height is not at the top, even if it is climbed with the strength of the immortal level, it will take several days to reach the so-called 'peak', which is just an ungrown sapling, such an answer is not to say Ye Qi, even anyone who knows the Tao will be surprised.
"That's right, the Tree of Life will become the Tree of the World Realm the moment it grows, and the fruit that bears fruit will become a complete plane...... However, now the tree of life is 'sick'! ”
The knight nodded, and then, his face darkened.
"Sick?"
Ye Qi was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously thought of the indescribable undead 'under the tree' - if it is said that what is the natural enemy of life, then it is naturally death.
And the right benefit, the undead, undead creatures, represents death.
"Is it the erosion of the undead?"
Ye Qi asked guessingly.
"It's just part of it, and there's part of ......"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Before the knight's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a series of violent explosions, and the tremendous force not only brought a deafening sound, but also made the entire 'Tree of Life' tremble—with such a tremor, Ye Qi could clearly feel the faint fluctuation, which weakened again.
It's subtle though.
"Tsk, it seems that those three are still unwilling to be lonely here!"
Feeling the changes in the 'Tree of Life', Ye Qi couldn't help but admire.
"They are strengthening themselves by destroying the tree of life...... Damn it! ”
The knight's face suddenly turned red, a look of anger appeared on its face, and its body was about to rush upwards subconsciously; However, as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Ye Qi.
"Do you think it's any use for you to rush up now?"
Ye Qi looked at the knight's indignant appearance and asked lightly.
"That's better than doing nothing at all - the Tree of Life represents the 'Mother', and I can't let them go on like that!"
The knight seemed to have forgotten what it had stopped Ye Qi before, and it shouted loudly.
"Who said we don't do anything!"
Ye Qi sneered and let go of his palm, and then clinged to the 'Tree of Life' tightly.
