Chapter 846: Aether and Escape (6)
Chapter 846: Aether and Escape (6)
D'Ambro's face changed again, but soon he was relievedβwe didn't fall in a uniform acceleration, but through the leaves, and then slowly fell downward, as if they were leaves off the branches.
After a few seconds, we landed on another leaf, and then through the green leaf, we continued to fall......
Eventually, we passed through the canopy, clinging to the trunk, and slowly drifted down to the roots of the trees that jutted out of the ground, and the roots were already close to Mount Maggery outside Thunder City.
Next, we stopped at the root of the tree for a while, mainly to calm down the slow bungee jump.
In Leo's Soul Space, I experienced "dangerous games" such as roller coasters, Ferris wheels, bungee jumping, and skiing, and all I felt was - why would the fragile bodies of human beings on Earth be keen to invent these death-seeking games?
No, it's a game of death.
I've adapted quickly to these games, and so has D'Ambro, who, as a druid, has no less experience flying at high altitudes than Earthlings pilots.
I asked, "Are you ready?" β
Dambiu nodded hurriedly.
I activated my retreat again, and led them to the roots of the giant tree.
The reason why I didn't sneak into the trunk of the tree from the crown part was not because I had just learned the art of retreat and couldn't hold on for so long, but because I was not mentally prepared for the moths in the trunk......
Fortunately, the moths mainly target the trunks of trees, and the roots are mainly the territory of earthworms......
Walking into the root part of the tree, the vision is completely dark, and I need to turn on the elemental vision to see, but I have gained a deeper understanding of the nature of the ether in three days of practice, and my control ability has been greatly improved, and my perception ability has reached the point where I can turn on elemental vision almost all day.
This also means that my mental motivation has also improved greatly, even if it is not as good as Leo, it has also narrowed a lot of distance.
To put it another way, the Taoist cultivators of Earth Huaxia who have comprehended such a skill as the Escape Technique can't just dive into it and then smear their eyes black, or spend extra effort to open skills such as elemental vision......
Ricardo's own vision is also between elemental vision and ordinary light vision, but Danbro felt uncomfortable with the dark vision, and I reminded him a little: "Sense ...... with elements"
The name elemental vision is also exclusive to orcs, but it's similar on the human side, and the elves are a little more particular, so they use titles like elemental perception or the eye of perception, and Danbu Rome understands what I mean.
He was surprised and said, "Although I don't understand the principle of this skill, it is indeed very powerful!" β
I said, "As long as you can understand my ideas, you can learn it, but it may take a little time." β
Dambi was a little incredulous: "You are willing to teach me such a skill?" You're not afraid ......."
I said, "If you don't understand my ideas, you can't grasp them, and if you want to understand them, you need to agree with my concepts, so I don't think a few people can do it, unless you really follow me to study and research." β
D'Ambro was visibly moved and hesitant.
Obviously, he promised me, but he regretted it at the critical moment, which can only prove that he still can't let go of his original concept.
I still don't care about persuasion and continue to dive.
The direction of the dive was not directly below, but diagonally downward, and through two sections of roots hundreds of meters in diameter, we entered the dirt.
So, I replaced the wooden escape with the earth escape.
To summarize it in simple terms, the principle of retreat is to control the ether particles to wrap one's body and bring oneself into the dimension between the three and four dimensions, so as to achieve the purpose of passing through the three-dimensional matter.
Easier said than done.
Leo comprehended the escape technique before entering Santas, using the notes left by Zhao Ritian, he actually didn't fully master it himself, but now, we are all completely mastered at the same time, and he contributed more than me, and he was so tired that he fell asleep, so I didn't say it, but I still thanked him in my heart.
As I dived deeper, I was slowly sensing the soil of life.
D'Ambro was also a little excited: "I didn't expect that it would really be here, and besides, I would come here in such a way......"
In the field of vision, a mass object with a diameter of more than 50 meters and entwined roots was emitting a faint light.
This is where the soil of life is, completely wrapped in the roots of the giant tree.
These roots are very thin, only between 50 centimeters and 1 meter, which can be regarded as the terminal roots of giant trees, which are different from those taproots that are more than 10 meters and tens of meters thick at every turn, but the absorption effect is better.
The roots tightly envelop the soil of life, obviously to monopolize everything.
Elsewhere, the Soil of Life is often shared by the creatures of a large area, like the Soil of Life in the center of the Ancient Elven tribe, which nourishes the surrounding plants, indirectly feeds the animals, and finally attracts the giant trees to come and get a piece of the pie, but does not take it for themselves.
You can't blame the giant tree in front of you, after all, the birth mechanism of the Soil of Life determines its random distribution.
It takes at least a few hundred years for a giant tree to grow, and during this period, there are also a lot of mutually beneficial and symbiotic parasitic monsters on the giant tree, which is normal, but a mass of life is formed under its roots, and with the instinct of the giant tree, which is lower than that of animals, it naturally clings to this nutrient-rich "fertilizer".
As a result, these overly rich nutrients changed the composition of the giant tree, which indirectly led to the mutation of the parasitic demonic beast, which in turn harmed itself half-dead.
That's where the giant tree is right now.
"If this trend continues, even if we kill all the mutated parasitic monsters, there will be new species to fill these vacant ecological niches." I said, "So, the only solution is ......"
We float forward, directly through the outer roots, and into the core.
A mass of earth less than twenty meters in diameter is visible.
As it penetrated its roots, the giant tree seemed to detect us, and the roots began to shake slightly, secreting some clear liquid, which was its own defense mechanism.
The giant tree itself was already very weak under the gnawing of the mutated parasitic demonic beast, and at this time, it felt the threat from the energy source, and it was even more nervous.
However, for me, who has mastered the art of retreat, it can't cause any obstacles at all.
The trembling of the roots continued for a moment, and without receiving any feedback, it slowly stopped, and I, having already taken out the container.
Then, I took two-thirds of my life.
The giant tree was furious.
The ground around it began to shake, but it had not yet reached the level of the giant tree worshipped by the Elder Elves, so it could make the ground tremble slightly, and even the roots that could move freely had not evolved.
With the Soil of Life that can hold three Kodo beast carts, I also felt a little strained, but I was able to safely move to the large pit that had been hollowed out by mutated earthworms.
Back on the ground, Dambi didn't care about the piles of life, but looked at the giant tree worriedly.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"The problem is not solved," said D'Ambro, "you just remove the excess energy from its body, and the moths inside are still alive, so that it will die faster!" β
I said, "There's no urgency, I'll take care of it, but well, for now, we need to deal with these life-like soils." β
D'Ambro looked at the Soil of Life wrapped in a huge bag, but asked a question that had nothing to do with it: "You have prepared such a big bag a long time ago?" β
I said, "Ricardo's task is to collect these things." β
D'Ambro said, "You're not going to leave when you get the land of life, are you?" β
I said, "How so?" For me, the importance of life is not as important as that of a person with a wealth of knowledge like you. β
"You're going to take me away?" D'Ambro was even more puzzled, "But what you promised ......"
"Don't worry, you'll let me finish," I laughed, "for now, I'm just going to assign Ricardo some other tasks, and I'll take care of the matter here." β
Danbro was relieved.
I said to Ricardo, "You go back and hand in the task first, and bring back the parts that the Angelica Sage needs, and buy ten blank teleportation scrolls, well, let Alphacom keep the accounts." β
Ricardo nodded, split half of the Soil of Life, wrapped it in another glider, and tore open the teleportation scroll that had been prepared.
After the light passed, Ricardo returned to the main plane, and D'Ambro was at ease.
Then, I wrapped the rest of the soil of life more tightly and simply set up a gazebo next to it.
We're going to be here for a day or two.
"Come on," I said, "let's talk to ...... first."
"What about the Giant Tree?" D'Ambro pointed to the giant tree.
At this time, dozens of leaves fell from the withered part of the giant tree.
"At this rate, it's okay to let those mutant borers continue to gnaw for a few days, right?" I said, "Originally, it would have been quicker for me to go back to the main plane and deal with it myself, but I know that you are afraid that I will not come back, so I can only let that Ricardo go alone, so let's wait slowly......"
Dambi smiled bitterly and said, "You are really elusive, especially after three days, it feels like you are a different person......
I said, "If you follow me, you will change." β
D'Ambro said, "You can deal with this place first, I won't regret it, but I still can't believe you." β
"Are you just sitting and waiting?" I said, "It's a waste of time." β
