The four of them walked in the passage for a long time, and finally, Yu Zhao found that the passage beside him had unconsciously changed somewhat.

Originally, the passage was made of a mixture of stone and earth, but now it has turned into brown wood.

The fluorescent plants attached to the walls were gradually enriched with the change of materials, and later even climbed the entire wall of the underground passage, illuminating the area as bright as day.

At this time, Toba stopped and said to Yu Zhao, "We have arrived. ”

"Where is this?" Yu Zhao looked around and felt that they were now inside a tree.

This is the Tree of the Century?

"This is the end of the root of the World Tree, and we can meet the Treant if we follow this passage."

"Inside the root of the tree can accommodate two or three people walking side by side?" Pei Hengwu looked around, amazed.

And that's just the end of the roots, so you can imagine how big the tree of the century really is.

As I walked along this root passage, the inside of the passage began to twist and turn, and it was no longer as straight as before.

Yu Zhao also found that the passage had a slight upward slope that led them to a higher place.

After another long walk, they finally came to the end of the passage with a soft ladder hanging in front of them.

Yu Zhao looked up, the black hole was hollow, as if he could faintly see a little light, and he didn't know where this soft ladder led.

Looking down, there seemed to be more than a dozen points of light in the darkness, and I didn't know what they were.

Toba expertly climbed the soft ladder, "Come on, Master Treant is on it." ”

I don't know what kind of material this soft ladder is made of, at first glance it looks like wood, but when you step on it, it feels soft.

The four of them climbed the ladder for a long time, and at last, they climbed onto a platform.

This platform is much smaller than Yu Zhao imagined, only about 100 square meters.

All he saw stood in the center of the platform a figure with long green hair, her figure obscured by a dress made entirely of leaves, and a large turquoise tree that resembled a heart hung above her head.

Other than that, the entire platform is empty.

Toba bowed respectfully, "Treant-sama, we have something to trouble you. ”

The tree spirit turned his head, and his turquoise eyes first glanced at Yu Zhao and the others, and then at Toba with a scrutinizing gaze. Finally, he said: "Didn't you say that outsiders are not allowed to come here?" ”

Yu Zhao saw a tan face, the face was full of wooden textures similar to annual rings, looking at her facial features, it looked like a woman, but her voice was a little strange, it sounded like an urn, very dull, like a male voice.

Toba said in a respectful tone at this time: "The digging worm in the village has been contaminated by the blood of the Eye of Cthulhu, and we ...... We need your help. By the end, there was already a hint of pleading in his tone.

"Polluted ......" the dryad thought for a moment, then shook his head regretfully, "I'm sorry, I can't help it. ”

The light in Toba's eyes vanished, and with the last courage, he asked, "Can ...... But you are the spirit of the Centurytree and you can give us purifying powder, can you...... Can't you ......? ”

"Nature treats all living beings equally, and purifying powder can only purify pollution, which is part of the cycle of nature. And, even if it could, the Digger would be too large for the Tree of Century to wither, and it might even be contaminated with the blood of the Eye of Cthulhu, which would have been even worse. ”

"There's no other way?"

"Nope."

"What if you kill the Eye of Cthulhu?" Yu Zhao said suddenly.

The dryad glanced at Yu Zhao in surprise, then replied, "I don't know what will happen, it might work." ”

She paused, then continued, "What you may not know is that once upon a time, there were actually two Eyes of Cthulhu. ”

Yu Zhao, two Eyes of Cthulhu? But then, he reacted again, since the dryad said a long time ago, then......

"One of them was killed, and only the one left is today."

"Who killed you?" Yu Zhao was curious.

"The Bereaved." The three anchors tasted this word, and they already felt the special nature of this race just by this word.

Legacy races?

What race will remain?

"The Bereaved?"

The dryad pointed at Toba, "This axe is their old weapon. ”

"And where are they now?" Yu Zhao was even more curious, since they were able to kill one Eye of Cthulhu, why didn't they kill the other?

"Swallowed up by the long river of history......" the dryad thought of something, and his tone was a little emotional, "They were just surviving. ”

The three anchors couldn't help but glance at each other and exchanged glances, this sentence seemed to be a bit informative.

The remnants of this mouth are strong enough to kill the Eye of Cthulhu, and logically speaking, they can walk sideways in this area, but according to the meaning of this tree spirit, they are still extinct.

What's even more thought-provoking is that they have such a powerful combat power, and they are actually just surviving in the mouth of the tree spirit?

So how strong should they be in their heyday?

And what caused their decline?

The dryad remembered something, and his tone became more ethereal, "I remember the battle they had in the neighborhood...... I saw countless meteors piercing the sky, I saw a rain of arrows covering the sky, and I saw the strongest warriors among them able to confront it head-on......"

It seemed to be immersed in the memories of that time, and just looked back at the wooden heart hanging high above its head.

Yu Zhao and the others were too embarrassed to interrupt the tree spirit's thoughts, so they could only stand and wait awkwardly.

After a long time, the tree spirit reacted, turned around, and the wooden face could still vividly show apology, "Sorry, I've been thinking about it for too long......"

The three anchors shook their heads in unison, it's okay, it's okay, as long as you continue to say.

With just these few words, Yu Zhao and they had already discovered that this tree spirit was probably an important character and knew many secrets of this world.

Moreover...... They also discovered that something was not quite right with the world they were experiencing at the moment, and that it seemed to be far richer than they had expected.

"If you're going to kill the Eye of Cthulhu, hurry."

"Why?"

"Because it's almost a blood moon......"

"Blood Moon?" Hearing this new term, the anchors sighed slightly in their hearts, it was another new term, and it seemed to be able to bring out a lot of information, and it didn't sound very good.

But Toba's face changed dramatically at this time, his face showed fear, and he emphasized it in an incredulous tone, "Blood Moon?!" ”

"Blood Moon." The dryad confirmed his suspicion in a calm tone.
