The exploration team finally entered the cave, and Surdak found that there were no stalactites in the cave at all, the internal space was much larger than the cave entrance, and in the depths of the cave, some ghost-patterned soldier ants could be seen peeping towards this side, they seemed to be scared by Gulitham, hiding in those hidden stone crevices, and had no idea of killing them at all.

The light in the depths of the cavern was a little dim, except for some of the stone crevices with an amber sheen, and Surdak leaned in to see that they were some beeswax stones mixed in the cracks, which were considered a type of magic gem in the magic market.

Surdak used his heavy sword to pry off a large piece of his palm, some like amber, and like citrine, and there was a kind of surging halo flowing in the gem, Surdak casually released some holy light, and it penetrated into the gem extremely smoothly.

"This is a magic gem?" Selena followed behind him, curiously leaning over to take a look.

Surdak nodded and said, "I don't know what kind of gem it is, but it should have a high value, with good magic guidance and mana amplification......"

Taking advantage of the time when the exploration team was resting in place, Surdak set up an altar and sacrificed the heads of three demon warriors for Gulitem, Jiali. Decker and himself have been blessed with 'Insight', so even if the cave is a little dimly lit, it doesn't seem to affect a few of them.

And Selena is the waiter of the goddess of the night, with an incomparable affinity in the dark.

Surdak walked a few steps into the cave and saw some veins of yellow gems in a crevice......

Just as Surdak was pondering whether this cave would be a natural gem mine, Selena leaned up and said to Surdak in an unusually calm voice:

"This tree of life has been dead for at least nearly 10,000 years, and the entire root of the tree has been completely petrified, these yellow spars were originally the blood in the body of this big tree, and then these big trees died completely, and the blood of these trees also slowly condensed into spars in the body of this big tree."

Surdak found that Selena's eyes were actually closed when she said this, and there was a surging light on her face, which looked like the great prophet of some temple.

"These ghostly red ants are likely to be the initiators of this disaster." Then she said, "Although the Ghost Pattern Red Ant Clan lives in the body of the World Tree, it has not been able to become a high-level magical beast until now, and the entire clan is constantly degrading......

Listening to Selena's eloquent conversation, Surdak looked at Selena with some confusion.

Selena's body shook slightly, stopped, and then opened her eyes, as if she had suddenly woken up.

When he looked at Surdak again, his eyes were full of tenderness.

This proves that the real Selena is back, and seeing Surdak staring at her all the time, her face flushed slightly, and she admitted in a low voice:

"She just came here, and she also told me that this is the remains of the ancient nature god World Tree, and she may have been inspired by the ruins here, so she took the opportunity to descend a wisp of divine consciousness and came to take a look." Selena followed, grabbed Surdak's arm, and whispered, "And she also reminds us that this World Tree has been completely petrified and its body is of little value, but these gems should be fine." ”

"Is this really a World Tree?" Surdak asked earnestly.

"Hmm." Selena nodded affirmatively.

"The roots alone are bigger than Bednar City, and I'm curious to see how tall it is." Surdak said with some emotion, and then added some imagination, and said, "Did you know that our magicians flew above the clouds and didn't even see the peak...... Isn't it high in the sky, with a huge umbrella-shaped canopy? Or maybe there are still some indigenous people living there, or maybe that huge canopy could build a few cities in the sky! ”

Selena blinked, smiled, and said, "If you want to know the answer, you have to try to find it here." ”

While the two were chatting, Jiali entered the cave to explore the way. Decker, carrying a magic shotgun, walked back with two long legs.

"How's it going inside?" Surdak leaned in and asked.

Jiali. Decker immediately replied, "The passage is very long, but there are not many ghost-striped red ants here......"

"Then let's continue to explore inside." Surdak said casually.

As the team continued inside, there were scattered human bones in the cave, some almost reduced to ashes, many of which were weapons left behind by local aboriginal hunters, bony bows and arrows, spears, and some braids wrapped in magic crystals......

The further you go inside, the more you can feel that the cave seems to be a little damp, and some of the stone walls are even dripping downward, condensing some basin-sized puddles in the cave.

Right next to these stone platforms, you can also find some brown moss, which smells fishy.

There are not many ghost-patterned red ants encountered along the way, and the two-headed ogre has a fighting desire. The hope was so strong that the ghost-patterned soldier ants he saw were smashed by him with a stick as long as they ran slowly.

And the ghost pattern soldier ants here are not very strong-willed to resist, and they have not thought of sticking here, they are completely different from the soldier ants at the entrance of the anthill at the foot of the mountain, the soldier ants over there are completely blocking the entrance to the anthill with their lives, and this side is ...... As soon as Surdak took one step forward, the ghost-patterned soldiers would take two steps back, with no intention of fighting.

"Are we on the wrong path? They don't care much about this! "Karrie. Decker whispered his doubts to Surdak.

"Go inside, I'm curious to know what's inside......"

Surdak waved his hand, and after saying that, he led the exploration team to continue exploring into the depths of the cave.

This cave is actually not very long, Surdak just walked more than 500 meters in front of him, and he saw that there was a narrow light in front of him.

After Gulitum drove away all the ghostly soldiers and ants in the cave, Surdak stood at the exit on the other side of the cave and looked at the scene in front of him, and he knew what the assassin who had hidden in the ant's belly had seen when he entered the mountain......

It's a little dark inside, but it's not pitch black, it's more like evening twilight......

Surdak stood on the edge of the cliff at the other exit of the cave, looking up at the sky above him, which was a huge circle.

It feels like you're in a huge chimney, or a semi-open-air pitch, which is significantly higher on the south side and lower on the north side, which is why the light doesn't shine in, and it's apt to call it the Valley of the Dark Worms.

Then it occurred to Surdak that he had entered a huge hollow in a tree, and that there was probably only a stump left of the tree, so that he could see the sky above him......
