"Gollum." The little tree man grunted and pointed in one direction, jumping and shouting.

Mu Chen looked up, there was a towering mountain range, and it was the only area nearby where you could see greenery.

"Let's go, let's go over and see, if there are civilized races on this planet, that area is the most likely place to live."

Mu Chen opened the cabin, jumped out first with a flying backpack on his back, and still held Xiao Gollum in his arms, this guy is so stupid that he can't learn how to use this kind of flying props, and he will plant it on the ground at every turn.

The fighters of the guard battalion also quickly followed, while the transport ships provided to provide a high-altitude alert above in case of emergency.

The air quality on this planet is terrible, with a hint of decay, and although no toxic gases have been found, the smell is very uncomfortable, and everyone has to turn on the air purifier they carry with them, so that they can feel better.

After getting closer to the distance, Mu Chen was surprised to find that it was not a mountain range at all, but the trunk of a towering tree that fell to the ground, the diameter of the trunk was thousands of meters, and the length was unimaginable, and the edge was almost invisible.

The collapsed trunk was covered with a number of bryophytes, fluffy and green.

Some herbivores are looking down and nibbling on the moss, which may be the only food they can find on the planet.

The smell of decay in the air emanates from the giant tree, and the closer you go, the pungent it gets, but the animals of the planet have to endure it to feed.

Herbivores survive on moss from giant trees, while carnivores prey on these herbivores, and the food chain is incredibly simple.

Mu Chen was surprised to find that even the water source was obtained from the trunk of the giant tree, and there were some deep cracks in the trunk, and the green sap slowly flowed out of the cracks, merging into a small pool.

Gollum's expression was a little sad, wilting as if it had been beaten by frost, and the small flowers on the top of his head were hanging down.

"Is this your people?" Mu Chen asked softly to the Gollum in his arms.

Gollum nodded and said in a grunt, "It's Gollum's mother, Gollum can recognize her......"

The Treants have learned some Earth languages, but they don't speak them fluently.

"In this way, let's mourn and change." Mu Chen sighed and said, comforting him gently.

The group landed on a tree trunk, and the moss under their feet was soft, as if they were stepping on a very high-end camel hair carpet.

Gollum jumped out of Mu Chen's arms, and a few tiny vines stretched out of his arms, slowly burrowing into the cracks in the trunk, which must have been the way the Treants expressed their condolences.

Soon the remains of the giant tree at his feet were there

A hint of reaction, the same stretched out a few vines, wrapped around Gollum's body, and gently touched the small flower above his head, as gentle as a mother's hands.

Gollum squinted happily, enjoying the warmth of the moment.

Mu Chen and his party waited quietly, without making a sound, just standing solemnly, hanging down the weapons in their hands to express their silence.

The strength of the giant tree was very weak, and the vine did not last long before withering quickly, and then turned into a cloud of powder and went away with the wind.

Gollum looked in the direction where the powder had disappeared, and the sadness on his face was distressing.

"Gollum, are you alright?" Mu Chen asked softly.

"Gollum is fine......" the little tree man whispered.

"Look at the point, there is an end to any life." Mu Chen comforted him in a lame language, he was really not good at these things.

Fortunately, Xiao Gollum's heart was very big, and after being silent for a while, he regained some energy, climbed on Mu Chen's shoulders again, sat there and shook his legs, and conjured a bottle of red wine like magic, bit the cork and drank it.

The animals here don't seem to be afraid of people, and after seeing Mu Chen and his party, they just looked at it curiously, and then continued to lower their heads and nibble on the moss.

With a few small drones, the guards began to search for nearby lifeforms, and soon found a village not far away.

"There are indeed civilized races living here, just about 15 kilometers ahead, and they seem to have spotted us and are coming towards us, and so far there has been no hostility." The guard reported to Mu Chen.

"Let's go up and have a look, and be careful not to fire first." Mu Chen reminded again.

The life of the residents here is difficult enough, and Mu Chen doesn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

After flying for a few minutes, I met a group of creatures that were also flying in the air, and it was strange that they did not have wings, nor did they have this kind of jetpack on earthlings, but they were still able to fly in the air, and the speed was not slow.

These people have a strange appearance, long green hair hanging down to the ankles, pointed ears and a lot of ornaments made of animal bones, and some dark green stripes on their pale faces, which is indescribably weird.

There were not many people, only a dozen people, their faces were a little haggard, their bodies were very thin, the clothes sewn from animal skins did not fit, and their skin-covered bodies could be faintly seen.

But as soon as these people saw the grunt on Mu Chen's shoulder, they immediately landed, knelt on the ground in unison, and said something excitedly, the sobbing appearance looked funny, and the dark green stripes on their faces were stained.

Mu Chen opened the translator on his body, quickly recorded and analyzed the language of these people, and it didn't take long to understand what they were saying.

"Great Tree God, your faithful servant has waited for your coming......"

"The Dryad hasn't abandoned us!"

"Great Tree God, have mercy on your people......"

"Tree God, please forgive us for our sins!"

Mu Chen was a little puzzled, and he couldn't understand what they meant.

These people should be the elves who survived in ancient times, but they didn't expect their current situation to be so miserable, and listening to them, it seems that all this is caused by themselves.

This sincere confession doesn't look like it's a fake, but the object of repentance looks as blank as Mu Chen.

"Uh, hello, I'm Mu Chen, the commander-in-chief of the Earth Federation Federation Fleet, if you have anything to say, please get up first and then talk about it, okay?" Mu Chen said with a little embarrassment.

The translator translated Mu Chen's language into the elven language, and these people in front of him could understand it, but they still went their own way, kowtowing to Gollum reverently, almost to the extent of throwing themselves to the ground, but they were indifferent to Mu Chen's words.

"If you like to kneel, just kneel, I'm too lazy to persuade you." Mu Chen thought angrily.

And Xiao Gollum obviously didn't like this feeling either, and hid behind Mu Chen's neck a little nervously, but he couldn't help but poke his head out and look at these people curiously.

Gradually, Mu Chen also understood some things, it turned out that in ancient times, the battle between the elves and the dwarves was inextricably fought, in order to prove that he was the first divine servant under the command of the tree god, and even lasted the battle for tens of thousands of years, until finally it became a life-and-death situation, and both sides vowed to kill each other.

It was a true catastrophe that engulfed every corner of the galaxy, and eventually the dwarves were wiped out, and even the last of them were killed by the elves.

But the elves also suffered heavy losses, and the dwarves detonated all the five artifacts they created in one fell swoop during the desperate struggle, and the huge energy wave created an incomparably huge black hole in the galaxy, devouring many planets.

The elves could only cower in the wall of sighs, seeking the protection of the tree god.

The ancient tree god couldn't bear to see the Milky Way destroyed, so he used all the energy and life force in his body to fill the giant black hole, but in this way, the only Treant in the galaxy also came to the end of his life.

The trunk of the tree under the feet of Mu Chen and his party is the remains of the tree people, and the tree people are also the mother of Gollum, no wonder the elves see Gollum like Christians see God.

It's just that since that giant black hole has been filled, why are the elves still living so depressed? Looking at the way they look now, it's obvious that they're not doing well, right? Mu Chen's heart was full of doubts.
