The large forest where the main city of the Mu Ling Yuan clan is located, Green Shade City, is called Jingyi Forest, which can be regarded as the most lush and rich vegetation area in the Northern Continent, and this large forest covering an area of hundreds of square kilometers is all the territory of the Mu Ling Yuan clan.

The Wood Spirit Yuan clan, who like to inhabit the environment close to nature and be with trees, has always lived a relatively quiet and peaceful life because of the characteristics of being easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It's just that today, this peaceful atmosphere has been slightly disrupted.

"Boom ——!!"

In the morning, the morning sun was shining, the warm sunlight was shining on the earth, and the residents of the green city were just right in comfort, but suddenly an explosion from the north disrupted the people's leisurely and comfortable mood.

"What's the situation?!"

"The voice came from the north, that direction...... Looks like it's on the other side of the Holy Land?"

"Enemy attack?!"

"Who is so bold, there are three guardians whose strength is comparable to the legendary realm guarding the Holy Land. ”

"Look, the Guardian Knights of the Holy Cult of Nature have been dispatched!"

Of course, the officials of Green Shade City also noticed the movement in the north, because of the particularity of the place where the incident occurred, their reaction was very fast, and a group of more than a dozen soldiers riding on the back of the giant eagle immediately took off in the city, and they skillfully combined into a crane wing array in mid-air, and flew towards the north at full speed.

There was also a cavalry team of more than twenty people sitting on the backs of neatly black tiger and leopard-shaped beasts, which also galloped out from the northern city gate, and their movements were very agile and rushed into the dense forest, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

......

Looking at the deep pit tens of meters wide that was blown out by the explosion in front of him, the two Great Spirit Tree people were now very angry in their hearts.

Especially the No. 2 Great Spirit Tree Man, it didn't expect that the "Spirit of Plants and Trees" would act so decisively, and after approaching the entrance of the secret realm to the limit, it chose to explode without hesitation.

You must know that this kind of summoning magic elf, even if it does not bring serious backlash to the envoy after death, but if the summoner personally controls the action of the magic elf, when the magic elf dies, the summoner who must be connected to the mind because of the need to exert control will also receive some backlash damage.

The "Spirit of Plants and Trees" they saw was extremely sensitive and shrewd, and it was obviously in a state of direct control by the summoner behind the scenes, and it was because of this that the Great Spirit Tree did not expect the other party to choose to let the "Spirit of Plants and Trees" explode so decisively.

As a result, the two Great Spirit Tree people were severely blown up by the "Spirit of Plants and Trees" without much defense.

Although the strength of this "Spirit of Plants and Trees" has even reached the level of a second-level high-level, it is also relatively rare in the school of summoners, and the power of self-explosion caused by consuming all the spiritual power it has at one time should not be underestimated, but the two great spirit tree people also have third-level strength, so they have not been overshadowed.

Yet they were still annoyed.

Because, the self-explosion of the "Spirit of Plants and Trees" was not far from the entrance of the Druid Secret Realm, and the two Great Spirit Tree people did not have time to intercept the destructive power of the other party's explosion, so that a small part of it finally hit the entrance of the Druid Secret Realm.

What's more, the movement caused by the self-explosion of the "Spirit of Plants and Trees" was too great, and it also woke up the third existence on the scene.

Behind the two Great Spirit Tree Trees, on the tower-like trunk of the Giant Spirit Tree Man that was more than two hundred meters high, thirty meters thick, slowly raised a very old-looking human face, a pair of water tank-sized eyes slowly opened, the dim pale golden pupils turned slightly, and finally looked at the Great Spirit Tree Man below.

"Ike, Elo, my friend, tell me, what's going on?"

"Neil-sama, I'm sorry, but it's a dereliction of our duty. The No. 1 Great Spirit Tree named Ike said slowly and apologetically.

"Just now, a thief drove a summoning magic elf "Spirit of Grass and Trees" to try to storm the gate of the Holy Land, and after failing to collide, he finally chose to blow himself up. It was I who was too careless and didn't suppress it in time. "The No. 2 Great Spirit Tree Man named Ailu, who had just tried to suppress the Spirit of Plants and Trees, voluntarily admitted his mistake.

The Djinn Treeman named Neil looked beyond the two Great Spirit Treemen to the huge crater left by the explosion in front of them, his huge eyes narrowing slightly.

"Summoning the Spirit of Magic...... What about the summoner behind the scenes?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Neil, we suspect that the summoner is nearby, but the other party is very cunning, and has not revealed any trace so far, and even the 'spore pollen' has not responded. ”

"Is that so......" Neil slowly closed his eyes, and an imperceptible wave slowly spread around it, gradually sweeping through all the space within a radius of five thousand meters, not even in mid-air or underground.

After a long time, Neil opened his eyes, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes, and then looked at Ike and Alu: "It seems that if the other party is really nearby, this can't just blame you, even me, I can't find any trace of the other party." ”

With that, Neil glanced at the entrance to the secret realm.

"The guardian enchantment of the Holy Land, there is no problem, right?"

"Although there was an accident, I can guarantee that there is no problem with the enchantment. The two Great Spirit Tree people said with certainty.

The masters of the druid's seclusion in the secret realm, when they built the enchantment at the entrance of the secret realm, linked it with the perception of the guardian of the spirit tree who served as the guardian of the town, even if there were intruders who mastered the invisible ability of their magic skills so that they did not find any abnormality, but as long as the enchantment was touched, they could also get the feedback and alarm of perception at the first time.

Although the self-detonation of the "Spirit of Plants and Trees" was indeed beyond their expectations, they did not forget their duties, and blocked most of the impact of the explosion as soon as they discovered that something was wrong, and only a small part of the impact touched the protective barrier at the entrance of the secret realm, but in fact, they did not even make the hidden entrance barrier visible, let alone destroy the barrier.

The annoyance of the two Great Spirit Tree people of Ike and Ailu is that although the barrier is fine, the guardians in the inner part of the secret can sense the movement on this side of the barrier, especially since the barrier that should have been guarded by them has actually been touched by the intruders, which is undoubtedly a huge dereliction of duty.

It's not something that can be fooled around with just a barrier. This time, the impact of the past explosion did not shake the barrier, and it can only be said that it was lucky, but what if there is a next time?

In addition to the giant spirit tree man 'Neil' who served as the insurance person for thousands of years and has not been replaced, the next level of the Great Spirit Tree people is actually rotated, often served by the new Great Spirit Tree people who have just entered the third level, and after hundreds of years of guarding, when the ordinary spirit tree people in the Forest of Tranquility evolve into a new Great Spirit Tree person, the old two Great Spirit Tree Guardians will be transferred to the inner part of the Druid Secret Realm with a better cultivation environment, so as to use the abundant natural aura environment that is more beneficial to the Spirit Tree people to continue to improve their strength.

After all, unlike those elves who signed a contract with the elven envoy and grew up with it, the strength growth rate of the spirit tree warriors who relied on independently absorbing the nutrients of the earth was already very slow, and although the spirit child environment of the Jingyi Forest was already very good compared to most areas on the continent, it would still be a little difficult for the spirit tree warriors who had grown to the third-level legendary realm.

Especially when there is a contrast between the secret realm and the holy land.

Since evolving into the Great Spirit Tree People of the Level 3 Legendary Realm, Ike and Ai Lu have been guarding the entrance of the Secret Realm for more than two hundred years, during this period, there has never been an enemy who dares to rush into the entrance of the Secret Realm, and even if there are intruders with such intentions, they are often eliminated by the many ordinary Spirit Tree people on the periphery before they reach them. So inevitably, Ike and Alu are a little slack.

What happened today was really a wake-up call in the hearts of the two Great Spirit Tree people, Ike and Ailu.

"Neil-sama, what should we do?" asked Ike.

Neil muttered for a few seconds, then ordered, "Tell the children in the forest to release pollen and expand the search area." Perhaps, the enemy is not near us. ”

"This ...... Is it possible? Even a summoner of the Legendary Realm strength would be able to flexibly control the movements of the magic elves at a distance of more than five thousand meters, right......"

"Not necessarily. In short, being vigilant is not a bad thing. ”

"Yes!"

After a few high-level spirit tree people conveyed the order to the rest of the ordinary level spirit tree people in the Jingyi Forest, the three of them suddenly looked at each other, and then looked up at the south at the same time.

"Tweet ——!"

A few seconds later, in the direction that the three high-level spirit tree people were staring, a sharp eagle chirp sounded in the sky, and then a team of knights dressed in uniform riding giant eagles appeared in the sky above the forest, slowly hovering in front of the three high-level spirit tree people.

One of the knights in the leader's bright armor and a few flying feathers woven from white feathers on his helmet casually struck a burst of spiritual messages before he drove the giant eagle down to a height and landed not far from Ike and Alu.

"Guardian, may I ask...... What's going on here?" the knight asked with a serious look at the huge crater left by the explosion beside him, and gave a simple salute to Ike and the others.

"There was an intruder with his head and tail hidden, although it did not cause serious consequences, but the other party was still hiding in the shadows, and just now only sent a magic elf puppet to come and test it. We suspect that the other party is still hiding nearby, so you should be vigilant. Ike spoke in a calm tone, briefly explaining the situation.

At this time, another team of more than twenty cavalry members riding in black panthers had also arrived at the scene, and after learning what had happened, anger appeared in the eyes of the knights.

These knights are all members of the "Holy Religion of Nature" that the Wood Spirit Yuan clan itself believes in, and their teachings emphasize the belief in the gods of nature. And the Druid Secret Realm is a sacred place in the hearts of members of the Sacred Cult of Nature. When their own holy place was invaded by thieves, these knights were naturally very angry, and they were eager to immediately find out the enemy who dared to attack the holy place and punish them severely.

The knight captain who led the team nodded, and said respectfully to Ike and the others: "Understood! Later, we will send more patrol troops from the sect to search the vicinity, and we will definitely do our best to find the thief!"

"Well, just do your best. Ike nodded with satisfaction, and saw that the knights dispersed, or returned to the city to arrange the affairs of the patrol troops, or dispersed directly into the forest to start searching for the enemy's traces, but the knight captain remained in place.

Ike looked curiously at the knight captain's expression and asked, "What's the matter, boy, is there anything else?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, the knight captain seemed to have thought of something, and said to Ike with a somewhat ugly face: "Lord Guardian, actually, we still have a matter to report, and we need the elders in the Holy Land to decide. ”

"Oh, young man, what is it, can you give us a rough explanation? You know, as guardians of the entrance to the Holy Land, it is our duty to prevent anyone who does not have permission to step into the Holy Land, even if it is you. When Ike heard this, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then asked in a gentle tone.

The captain of the knights thought for a moment, and there seemed to be no need to hide this matter, so he explained: "That's right, more than a month ago, a group of diplomatic envoys from countries claiming to be the 'Dream Sect' came to visit our country on the orders of their master. And they ...... He even intends to touch the treasure of my clan, the Heart of Nature!"

"What?!" Hearing this, not only Ike, Ailu, and Neil, who was also quietly listening to their conversation, were all stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of horror and anger.

"How dare they covet the treasures of our clan?

Boom ——!

The suffocating spiritual pressure as deep as the tide of the sea rose from the bodies of the two slightly emotional Great Spirit Tree people, and the knight captain, who was closer, couldn't help but turn pale and took several steps back.

"Calm down. It was Neil, a giant spirit tree man who didn't know how long it had been, that was more calm, and after reminding Ike and Alu in a flat tone, it looked down at the knight captain with a somewhat unsightly face, and gently waved the branch, sprinkling a pale green spiritual power full of life breath on his body.

Bathed in this spiritual light, within three seconds, the knight captain's face improved a lot, and the slight injuries he received from the unconscious spiritual power shock of the Great Spirit Tree Man who had suffered the strength of the third-level Legendary Realm at close range were directly healed.

"Little one, this kind of arrogant person who doesn't know what to do, you should ignore it, let Karien ...... Well, I remember sitting in the supreme pope right now, it seems to be the ninth, right?

The Mu Ling Yuan clan does not implement the royal power system, but governs the people in the form of city-states and religions, and the 'Karien Pope' that Neil said is the supreme ruler of the Natural Holy Religion, and also the city lord of the supreme main city 'Green Shade City', the great patriarch of the Mu Ling Yuan clan, and when put into the outside world, it is equivalent to the lord of a country.

"I'm sure Karion is aware of this, and now he still needs to ask the elders in the Holy Land to make a decision...... There should be something peculiar about the "Dream Sect Country", right?"

"Yes, Honorable Guardian, your wisdom is correct. The knight captain sorted out the words and explained the reason to the three high-ranking spirit tree people.

It turned out that at the beginning, after the Mu Ling Yuan Clan received the message of the envoy of the Dream Sect, they were indeed very angry, and even many high-ranking people were so angry that they wanted to directly put the envoy into the cell. However, before the soldiers could make a move, those messengers burst out with quite good strength, and the momentum of the leader was even able to match that of Karien.

You must know that to be the supreme pope, Karion IX has the strength of the third-level legendary realm, although there is only a third-level third-order, but being able to compete with him head-on without falling behind, shows that the other party definitely has the same strength!

Just a diplomatic envoy has the strength of a Legendary Realm powerhouse? How many of the forces behind the other party are stronger than him?

With this in mind, and given that the attitude of the other party when he visited was not so bad, Karion did not completely turn against the other party on the spot, but immediately sent someone to collect information about the so-called fantasy sect after explicitly rejecting the messenger and sending him away.

As a result, Carion was quick to congratulate himself on his decision.

Because, although the Dream Sect was established for a short time, the other party was recognized by the announcement to the whole continent personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor of the Duragon Empire, one of the dominant forces on the mainland, at the first time of its founding, and it was also an ally with a seemingly equal status to the Duragon Empire!

According to the official announcement issued by the Duragon Empire, behind the scenes of the Dream Sect, it is suspected that there is an unknown 'god' level existence as a backer, known as the 'Dream Master'!

Even if it is the worst, the other party should have a terrifying strength second only to the fourth-level power!

When it comes to the treasure of the "Heart of Nature", of course, it is impossible to agree to the other party's request. But looking at the other party's attitude, it doesn't seem like they will give up easily. Therefore, perhaps the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan will have to consider the possibility of becoming an enemy with it.

At present, there is intelligence information about the Fantasy Sect, although Carion doesn't know how much is true or false, but since the Duragon Empire, one of the overlords of the continent, can issue a notice to recognize it, and even directly give a piece of territory, then the so-called Fantasy Sect should have no weak strength.

Even if it is conservatively estimated, it may not be much weaker than the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan!

Therefore, Karien believes that it is probably necessary to inform the elders who are in the holy land of this matter. Because, maybe then they will need to move their bodies for a long time.
