43. Breakthrough
After saying goodbye to Louis, Zhao Yuan hurried back to the room, and searched in the room for a long time but did not find Xiaopi's shadow. In the end, it was he who had an idea, shook the quilt, and shook out a tender yellow hair ball.
Zhao Yuan took the little skin in his hand and looked at it carefully, and found that it seemed to be just asleep, and the little insect mother hidden in its stomach could not be contacted, and it seemed to fall into a deep sleep together. Zhao Yuan had no choice but to take a soft towel and put it in a small nest next to the bed, so as not to accidentally crush the little skin when he sleek.
Now that the old turtle was also asleep, Zhao Yuan suddenly felt a little lonely, he shook his head, and walked out of the room to find something serious to do.
So, along the long spiral staircase, Zhao Yuan walked out of the ground again.
This road is also one of the ways to go directly to the outside world, but not everyone can walk, and now, only the Great Elder, Zhao Yuan, and the Four Elders can be unimpeded, because this staircase leads directly to the top of the elder's canopy, and it is also the best place to look and attack the entire Elven Forest.
It was stuffy underground for several days, and although the elven fortress was exquisite and beautiful, Zhao Yuan was not used to life. Now that he finally came out to breathe, he stood at the top of the canopy of the elderly, and he had a comfortable feeling of "being at the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains at a glance". In this vast forest, the elders are also the highest point deservedly.
I saw layers of trees covering the entire plain, gently undulating with the terrain, pushing like waves to the junction of heaven and earth. The sun was shining just right, but the whole forest was still shrouded in a veil-like white mist, reflecting small rainbows in the sunlight.
Zhao Yuan took a deep breath of fresh air with a slight coolness, and felt that his entire heart seemed to be awakened, rejuvenated, and his mind cleared up a lot.
He took advantage of the situation to slowly spread out his spiritual power, and a huge amount of spiritual power poured down from the top of the elder's canopy, surging towards the distance like a rolling tide. And each of the waves will feed back the information they have slapped to Zhao Yuan, although it is not very detailed, but it is continuous and endless.
Soon, Zhao Yuan's spiritual power had already covered the Elven Forest and spread towards the forest on the edges. In fact, radiating the spiritual power so widely will make the spiritual power become thinner, and the information obtained per unit area will become less and less. But it was precisely because of this that Zhao Yuan could clearly feel the difference between the Elven Forest and the surrounding forest.
The spiritual power that covered the Elven Forest was now thin and could only roughly outline the shape of the trees, but it was precisely because of this that the active vitality and harmonious aura fed back to the spiritual power were also more obvious. The forests around the Elven Forest are relatively sluggish and full of murderous opportunities. These are not very clear messages, but rather a sense of state. It was also the first time that Zhao Yuan felt so clearly that spiritual power could still be used like this. As his spiritual power continued to radiate, he seemed to feel the breath and pulse of the mountains, forming a bright and dark star map in Zhao Yuan's mind. Every place where life flourishes shines like stars in the sky, and the forest of elves is a bright moon, unassuming, but with a majestic and immovable spirit.
I don't know how long it took for Zhao Yuan to wake up from this mysterious state. He opened his eyes, and there was a gentleness in his eyes, but there was a vast and deep aura in his eyes.
When I looked up again, I saw that the sunset had fallen at the end of the forest, and the afterglow of the setting sun covered half of the world, which was rendered by the sunset in magnificent colors.
On the other side, the darkness had begun to invade the entire sky, and on the opposite side of the setting sun was already a deep purple night sky. Zhao Yuan saw that it was not early, so he planned to hurry back. He was also an unexpected gain this time, at this time, the original spiritual power in the sea of consciousness had become a lot more condensed, and it spontaneously began to slowly rotate around a central point, like a small nebula. Zhao Yuan himself didn't know much about cultivation, but now that he had made some progress by mistake, he was naturally overjoyed.
He was about to turn around and walk down the escalator when out of the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a white light flashing through the forest in the distance. At this time, the sky is already a little dark, and the forest does not look like a city that is full of light all night, and a touch of light naturally looks very dazzling.
Zhao Yuan instantly sent out a spiritual power to probe in that direction, and the breakthrough spiritual power was controlled more quickly and smoothly, and even the feedback information was much clearer, but Zhao Yuan's spiritual power shook around the place where he saw the light, but he didn't find anything.
But the scene just now was by no means Zhao Yuan's mistake, he strengthened that spiritual power without giving up, and suddenly, the information fed back to Zhao Yuan was immediately enriched.
Through spiritual power, Zhao Yuan saw five elves hiding among the branches, their breathing was extremely shallow, their bodies were coated with brown and green plant juice, the camouflage was very exquisite, and the elves were born with similar breath to plants, Zhao Yuan didn't find it in the first wave of exploration.
When the Great Elder and Zhao Yuan agreed on the same opinion and planned to defend their defenses, the Great Elder had already ordered all the elves who were out on a mission to be recalled. And it entered a defensive state, and all the elves were easily not allowed to leave the elven fortress. The elven fortress itself has fertile soil, sunlight can also shine in through refraction, and the vitality of the roots of the elder tree can completely allow the elves to live in the underground fortress for a long time without worrying about food and clothing.
Then these five elves are undoubtedly blood elves. When Zhao Yuan thought of this, his heart suddenly jumped wildly.
If he hadn't broken through his spiritual power this time, he would have been unable to discover the five blood elves, and that white light was obviously to attract him to the past. Without the protection of the elders, a mage is surrounded by five elven warriors, and the fate can be imagined.
But Zhao Yuan was also a little puzzled, how did these blood elves know that they were at the top of the elder's canopy. You must know that although the blessed person will not suffer any harm on the branch of the station elder, it does not mean that he will not be touched. For example, if two elves meet on a tree branch, one elf can push the other elf down, so that the elf who lands loses.
Standing on the canopy of the elder, you can also be captured by fierce birds, or shot down by powerful bows and arrows, for which the top of the canopy is protected by magic. This protection does not prevent small animals from approaching the elderly, but it can disable the naked eye and various detection methods. To put it simply, it's like a one-way glass that can only see the inside out, and the outside can't see the inside.
But this group of blood elves finally learned their location, and they prepared hard for a long time, if they didn't go over to take a look, wouldn't it be a waste of their hard work, Zhao Yuan thought, so he rode the wind and swept towards that place.
Elves have always had a keen sense of the five senses, and they can communicate with plants in the forest. When Zhao Yuan was more than two hundred meters away from the five blood elves, they had already sensed the motive.
These five blood elves are also bitter. Although they were instructed to trap Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan didn't know what he was doing, they waited for most of the day, and they were about to collect their troops and go home in the evening, so he was late.
The five of them looked at each other, and a message that humans couldn't perceive spread through the palms of their hands touching the trees. At this time, Zhao Yuan had also reached the sky above them, and was looking around, seemingly ignorant of the danger below.
At this moment, the soil underground suddenly exploded, and fragments of soil and plants were scattered everywhere, and five thick vines that were two people thick and more than ten meters long rose from the ground and whipped towards Zhao Yuan at a low altitude.
Zhao Yuan was in the middle of the five vines, and the way was blocked in all directions. Even the void was shrouded by the long spikes on the vines, like a large net of plants under Zhao Yuandang's hood.
This vine is extremely large, but the speed is not slow at all, with the sound of breaking the sky, Zhao Yuan seems to have no reaction at all, and he was "banged" by the five vines, smashing into the soil below.
The five blood elves were overjoyed, but the next moment they were surprised to find that Zhao Yuan was still alive, although he was slapped with mud and grass residue all over his face, he still stubbornly wanted to crawl out of the pit. "Oh no, he just had a shield on him. One of them, and the other four blood elves reacted instantly, and with a flash of cold light in their hands, they all took out their sharp blades and attacked Zhao Yuan, who was still lying on the ground.
Although the elven clan is better at strong and agile bows and arrows, in front of an eighth-order archmage, they don't dare to get an axe. Once the distance is widened, Zhao Yuan can hang them up and fight.
And this time their mission is to kill Zhao Yuan, wouldn't the distance give him a chance to escape.
So before Zhao Yuan could crawl out of the pit, the five blood elves had already deceived him, but Zhao Yuan's reaction was faster, and he saw a flash of red light, and his body was already shrouded in a layer of raging flames, which was a fifth-order magic flame shield. The five blood elves slashed at the flame shield with a single sword, and they all felt a burst of scorching heat spread down the blade of the sword to their palms. This slowed down their offensive and did not dare to rush forward to besiege them again.
One of the blood elves quickly recited a spell, and the five huge vines suddenly stood up again, lashing down at Zhao Yuan, while the five elves swept up the treetops around them, drew their bows and arrows, and shot at Zhao Yuan.
Rao is Zhao Yuan has a flame shield on his body, but the five thick vines are not afraid at all, the high temperature flame only makes the skin of their vines a little scorched, but it can't stop its domineering offensive.
And the arrows shot by the blood elf, although they seemed small and fragile, their surface was wrapped in a layer of dark green wood energy. The pointed arrows were extremely piercing, and the five elves didn't bother to change their positions, they just shot endless arrows at Zhao Yuan like a fixed-point arrow tower.
