The Great Elder made a gesture of "please", although Zhao Yuan didn't know anything about this strange magic array, he still numbly pulled his legs and walked to the magic array that was densely intertwined with roots and branches.
It wasn't until Zhao Yuan sat down cross-legged on a mottled hexagonal stone slab in the center of the magic array that the Great Elder walked up to Zhao Yuan, his hands outstretched, his neck tilted up, showing a sacrificial posture.
As a few soft elven words spit out from her mouth, like morning dew dripping from the tip of a leaf, it smashed into Zhao Yuan's heart with a bang, causing ripples. Although Zhao Yuan couldn't understand it, the poetic and song-like language carried a strange power, which made his already chaotic mood inexplicably soothed, as if a pair of hands gently stroked the dust and smoke in his heart, making him completely calm.
In this peaceful and quiet rhythm, the roots of the withered trees, exuding history and age, actually slowly moved. Zhao Yuan thought it was dazzling at first, but as time passed, the roots of the tree twisted more and more flexibly like the limbs of some kind of animal. Not only that, but new shoots have sprouted from their thick, cracked bark.
Zhao Yuan seemed to hear the sound of young branches breaking through the bark, subtle but clear, it was a sound full of vigorous breath of life. After half an hour, the magic array composed of tree branches with a diameter of three meters was already full of green.
That's right, at this time, Zhao Yuan realized that this was not a tree root at all, this was a complete tree. I don't know if this tree was artificially cultivated into a magic array, or if it was born like this. Either way, it's amazing enough. In the chanting of the Great Elder, it slowly rejuvenated, like a sleeping old man who went back in time, looked back, and turned into a beautiful and moving woman again.
He couldn't help but look at the Great Elder, only to see that her beautiful silver eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of rain and mist, with a touch of mystery that people couldn't see. Even if Zhao Yuan was not an elf clan, at this time, he could feel through an inexplicable intuition that there was a strong bond between the Great Elder and the magic array. An energy that he could not perceive was rapidly transmitted between the two.
Seeing that the magic array formed by the intertwined branches was becoming more and more luxuriant, and there was actually a tendency to grow upward, Zhao Yuan looked at it contemplatively, and his heart was suddenly shocked - those branches and leaves that grew upwards actually followed the trajectory of the mystery, although Zhao Yuan was not proficient in the magic array and inscriptions, but he could also see the power of it. It's not a flat one, but a three-dimensional magic array, which is simply unheard of! The elven clan's 10,000-year-old heritage is indeed not in vain.
It wasn't until these branches gradually overflowed the top of Zhao Yuan's head, completely covering him in a hemispherical shape, that the magic array was finally activated, emitting a brilliant green light, and every leaf was delicate and crystalline, revealing an extraordinary aura.
This familiar aura made Zhao Yuan's heart skip a beat, the appearance of these leaves was exactly the same as the elder leaves that the wolf king gave him, it turned out that this was the origin of the elder leaves!
I don't know when, the Great Elder had stopped chanting the incantation, but listening to her voice was still cold and clear, it still revealed a trace of weakness: "Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, it will hurt a little later, you try to bear with it." ”
Although Zhao Yuan didn't understand what this was about, he still quickly answered. He has suffered all kinds of pain, from the beginning of the embarrassed screaming to the present demeanor, he has practiced.
After another hour or so, the entire magic array had already lit up with a dazzling emerald green light, and Zhao Yuan felt that the life breath around him was extremely abundant, and the anger in the prayer room was nothing compared to this.
Suddenly, Zhao Yuan felt something touch on his cheek, he was startled, and hurriedly looked down, only to see a small tentacle the thickness of chopsticks composed of pure green light looking eager to try. Not only that, Zhao Yuan took a closer look, only to find that he didn't know when he was already surrounded by this kind of small tentacles. It was only because it was translucent and the color was as pure as the green light in the background that he never noticed it.
These small tentacles seemed to have spirituality, and they tentatively touched Zhao Yuan one by one, and saw that Zhao Yuan had no reaction before softly pasting them. Although the little tentacles looked weird, Zhao Yuan somehow gave birth to a kind of affection, maybe because they were non-threatening and full of vitality, or maybe because of their cautious posture.
Zhao Yuan couldn't see the situation on his face, so he had to lower his eyes and look at the back of his hand, only to see that the small tentacles were attached to the back of his hand, as if his skin was not there, and slowly melted into it.
At this time, Zhao Yuan's body was already in chaos, and his body was also the same as Louis, who had just fled back to the elf clan, full of scars overflowing with blood, with the entry of these small tentacles, the surface of Zhao Yuan's skin was also covered with a faint green light, and the whole person was wrapped in a force and sealed.
Just as Zhao Yuan was immersed in the comfortable wrapping of the breath of life, an unusual stinging pain suddenly woke him up. Rao is Zhao Yuan's body was already mixed with all kinds of pain and discomfort, and this new tingling sensation was still so clear.
He was busy looking inward, but saw that those small tentacles had already come to his body. Obviously, it was delicate and cute just now, but the timid and shy tentacles changed their appearance at this time, and spiral-shaped blades grew on their bodies, frantically whipping and stabbing in Zhao Yuan's body. When they encountered the soft internal organs, they twisted them like the most vicious swords, and when they encountered the hard bones, they tensed their bodies, pumped hard, and roughly smashed Zhao Yuan's bones into powder.
Suddenly, the anger that was entangled with the blood-colored energy was defeated under the combined attack of the two, and he could only frantically extract the mana in Zhao Yuan's body to derive a steady stream of vitality. After a while, the mana in Zhao Yuan's body was drained, and just as he wanted to devour the crystal nucleus to replenish his mana, he found that he couldn't move at all, and the whole person was firmly fixed in place, and the tips of his fingers couldn't move for a moment.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Yuan did not have the slightest panic in his heart, he understood that the Great Elder would not harm himself, and now the situation of the elf clan still depended on him to support it.
Without the restraint of anger, the blood-colored energy and green tentacles were destroyed in Zhao Yuan's body, and even the silver shield that the old Xuanwu protected at Zhao Yuan's heart was broken.
[I have to get out.] Old Xuanwu's voice sounded in Zhao Yuan's head. The next moment, there was a delicate and small Xuanwu in the magic array. Fortunately, the magic array was big enough, and it was not too crowded for Old Xuanwu to stay by Zhao Yuan's side.
At this time, the part below Zhao Yuan's neck was completely blurred with flesh and blood, if it weren't for the pale green film that firmly imprisoned Zhao Yuan's figure, he would probably have turned into a puddle of meat juice and melted on the ground.
Rao is like this, and Zhao Yuan has never let out a cry of pain. His eyes were closed, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but they were quickly dissolved by the green energy and vanished.
The Great Elder stood outside the magic array, a rare look of exhaustion appeared on his face that had always been cold and cold. She closed her eyes slightly, and her straight back relaxed. When a person really grows old, it is not when he is old, but when he is not strong enough.
And Zhao Yuan in the magic array had a new change at this time. When his flesh and blood were grinded, the blood-colored energy became a headless fly, smashing around in the blood plasma mixed with broken bones, and it should have disappeared with the death of the owner of the body at this time, but this unrecognizable body was still full of vitality, so that this energy lost its direction for a while.
Gradually, it seemed to have confirmed that it had completed its task, and slowly quieted down, shrinking into a small ball in a corner of Zhao Yuan's body. But those green tentacles obviously didn't intend to let it go, or rather, as long as it was something in Zhao Yuan's body, it would become the transformation object of the green tentacles.
I saw that those dense tentacles gathered together, forming a huge tentacle that ran through Zhao Yuan's entire torso, and began to stir up again in Zhao Yuan's body, and the blood-colored ball was naturally not spared, it was swept up, and it was instantly broken into fine and uniform foam and fused with Zhao Yuan's bones and blood, and they could no longer be separated from each other.
Then, the tentacles disintegrated into small tentacles again, and this time, they became the same as the ones Zhao Yuan had seen at the beginning, small and smooth, and the spiral-shaped blades just now disappeared, replaced by three small finger-like branches growing from the end of the tentacles.
These small tentacles began to reshape Zhao Yuan's body, layer after layer, Zhao Yuan's skin, fat, muscles, blood vessels, internal organs...... Under the operation of those dexterous little green hands, they reappeared, and they were more tenacious and stronger, if a biologist saw Zhao Yuan's naked body at this time, he would probably be amazed that this was the most perfect body made by the Creator. Every centimeter is so in line with science and aesthetics, and is built according to the golden ratio of the human body.
I don't know how long it took for Zhao Yuan to open his eyes again. I don't know if it's an illusion, the world in front of me seems clearer and brighter, and the dim basement is also delicate in Zhao Yuan's eyes.
The original dreamlike magic array also returned to its original state, as if a mass of tree roots were entrenched on the ground, and the new branches and green shoots just now were like illusions, leaving only the dry and gray bark.
The pain in his body had long since disappeared, and his new body contained strong vitality and energy, Zhao Yuan stood up and couldn't help but stretch, only feeling that he was refreshed and in better condition than ever.
The Great Elder is long gone, he should have gone back to deal with affairs, and he doesn't know how long he has been asleep in this dark place, Zhao Yuan glanced around, this is just an ordinary small room, and the only exit is the staircase that leads to the meeting hall.
Zhao Yuan didn't delay any longer, and immediately returned along the stairs the same way.
