readx;? The next day, the group came to the lair of the [Dragon Monkey] early. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAt first, Nicole was worried that it was still dark and that these monsters hadn't slept yet, but Lao Pu dispelled everyone's concerns.

"We've been studying this creature for years. "They will fall asleep around five o'clock in the morning, and when they do, they will be like boulders, and they will not wake up if they are not strongly stimulated." ”

But that still didn't reassure everyone, like Ian and Dennis. The two of them had experienced how terrifying these monsters were with dragon blood in their bodies. Now I watched them curl up on the ground one by one, but I was still afraid that they would suddenly burst up and crack their sharp fangs at them.

At this time, Ian suddenly remembered something, and asked Old Pu about the Mammoth Clan.

Speaking of the mammoth clan, Lao Pu's face was slightly gloomy: "We already know about the mammoth clan, and it is for this reason that the queen sent me out to find the princess back." These dragon monkeys have begun to riot, and the outside world is becoming more and more unsafe. ”

Ian was stunned: "The outside world?"

"You'll find out in a moment. As he spoke, Old Pu glanced at Princess Nia, who was walking beside Ian, "That's a place of refuge, but the princess is tired of it." ”

When Ian knew that Nia was an elven princess, he was still a little confused at first. At this moment, the princess of the elven clan was wearing his hunting suit, and her eyes never took off the guard and metal box hanging from Ian's waist. She even asked for the dagger that Rudo had given him, and played with it in his hand, and Ian was afraid that she would hurt herself, after all, the dagger was sharp enough to pierce the dragon scales.

"For elves, metalwork is still a rarity. Nicole whispered in Ian's ear, "As you can tell from the fact that they still have wooden bows, they probably don't have the ability to make metal products." ”

Ian nodded, a little confused. With no metal products and no expertise in alchemy, how did the elves survive in the dangerous Yarman Forest?

Old Pu led the group to the end of the trail, where only a large rock blocked the way. I saw that Lao Pu slapped the stone twice, and then easily moved the stone away, revealing a half-human-high gap. Ian stepped forward to inspect and found that the "stone" turned out to be hollow. The touch of the stone made Ian feel a touch of familiarity, as if it were, bark?

"Hurry up and follow up. Old Pu urged.

So everyone bent over and got into the gap, during which Ian heard Nia's muttering, "It's back." ”

The moment Ian stepped in, he felt a chill hit his face, but there was no light source in it, so he couldn't see anything clearly. When Lao Pu blocked the "stone" in the gap, he really couldn't see anything at all, and it was pitch black in front of him.

"You pull me by the collar, and I take you. "There was the voice of the old pu in the darkness.

Ian was about to find the location of Old Pu, but was held by a cold hand.

"I'll take you away, Lord Hunter. "It was the voice of the elven princess Nia.

After a period of adaptation, Ian was able to see things within a meter of his surroundings. The first thing he saw was Nia's delicate cheeks. When he looked ahead, he could only see a vague shadow, and he could guess that it was the old Pu Dannis and his party.

Old Pu made sure that everyone was lined up behind him before he walked forward. Ian didn't know who was standing in front of him, Green or Harry, all he knew was that next to him was Nia, the elven princess taking him by the hand.

This gave Ian a very strange feeling in his heart.

"You wanted to shake my hand that day, was that how you shook it?" Nya tilted her head to look at Ian.

"Pretty much. Ian replied casually, a little absent-mindedly.

"Is your human world fun, how many people are there?"

"How can this be answered? Ian thought for a moment and said, "There are about tens of thousands of people in a city." ”

"Tens of thousands?" Nia covered her mouth in surprise, "How many cities are there?"

Ian thought for a moment and said, "More than a hundred." ”

If you count some small villages, I am afraid there are more than 100. No one had asked him this question before, how many people were there on the mainland? Who could count them? Alki's royal family probably didn't know.

After answering this question, Ian clearly saw that Nia's expression changed from surprise to loneliness. The elven princess thought that Ian could not see her expression in the dark, but she did not know that Ian had taken in all the changes in her face.

"It would be nice if the elves could have tens of thousands. Nia whispered.

Originally, Ian wanted to ask how many elves there were now, but after seeing Nia's expression, he still didn't ask. At the same time, a trace of sadness flashed in his heart, no matter what, the elven race used to be one of the four major races, but now it has fallen to a race that has not been traced for a hundred years.

How long does it take for a race to go from glory to ruin?

Ian didn't know, but he thought of the Messiah's drawing, and if it was a prophecy, it meant that in a few years, the Dragon Emperor Mussolini would lead countless dragons to conquer the lower imperial capital. I'm afraid that day will be the day of the destruction of the human race. So far, Ian has not been able to think of any way to deal with the Dragon Emperor Mussolini.

He only hoped that that day would come a little later, at least to give humanity enough time to prepare. Ian trusted Karan, and believed that Lord Rose would keep a hand out of the dragons' invasion. But he didn't completely believe it, after all, Karan's age was there, he was already old, and the Dragon Emperor was still at his peak.

As Ian pondered, they had reached the bottom. Everyone saw a glimmer of light in front of them, and slowly, this glimmer of light grew bigger and bigger, and Ian's heart slowly rose to his throat.

Is it coming?

Finally, they stepped out of the cave, and the long period of darkness prevented them from adapting to the sunlight for the first time. However, after a short period of adaptation, Ian finally saw everything in front of him.

He saw a towering tree.

A towering tree that has not withered in winter, like a huge umbrella, covers the snowflakes falling from the sky and carries the world.

Ian felt a strong sense of belonging, and after he stared at the tree for more than ten seconds, he slowly spoke, "This is, the World Tree." ”
