Chapter 171: The Tree Man (I)
After looking at it more closely, and making sure that the ordinary-looking cave was indeed as ordinary as it appeared, and that there was no need to explore it again, Romon walked out.
Looking at the long stretch behind him, Romon stopped.
He didn't go any further, but took out a special pen for drawing maps from the space, and then, next to the cave he walked out, he wrote down an Arabic numeral one.
Looking at the mark, which was not very obvious to outsiders, but which he could see quickly, Romon nodded, and then, after glancing at the long tunnel he had walked through, turned around, and continued walking towards the front.
The tunnel is long, but it doesn't have to go straight. He had walked through several caves and then continued down a tunnel.
Along the way, he cautiously marked and then carefully observed his surroundings.
For the time being, no danger has been found, and no signs of life have been found. The cavern stretched for at least several miles, and Romon had walked through many tunnels and several caves, and still had not seen the head of the cavern.
After walking a little further, a cave appeared again in front of me, which appeared to be formed by sedimentary rock. Romon walked in cautiously, looked up, and was immediately shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him.
I saw that this cave is not small, at least larger than the ones I saw earlier, and there are many hanging stalactites on its top, and the color is very beautiful, like milky strips, growing downward, very beautiful. Underneath them, stalagmites grow upwards. The maximum height of the tallest stalagmite is almost 30 meters, like a "stone tower" growing out of the flatland. Romon looked at it in surprise and sighed in his heart at the wonder of nature.
In fact, when he was on Earth, he went to some caves for tours, but the feeling at that time was completely different from the feeling now. At that time, he was simply looking at it as a tourist, but now, he is exploring the underground terrain as the lord of this place, and seeing that there is such a scene under his territory, Romon's first reaction in his mind is that it would be great if under this crack could be made into a scenic spot for people to visit.
Soon, his unrealistic idea was wiped out by his reason.
Thinking of this, Romon continued to cheer up and observe the cave, trying to see if he could find something useful. As a result, nothing was found.
After leaving this cave, I continued to walk forward, and after walking a long way, I saw quite a few caves. The further you go in, the more such caves there are, all of which are about the same size and height, and are basically nothing but stones, although at first you may find them beautiful when you see them in the beautiful cave formations, such as stalagmites or stalactites. However, if I watch it too much, I feel bored.
More than four hours had passed since he came down, and no matter how good his strength was, Romon was a little tired, and this time he entered a cave that seemed relatively safe, and then sat down on a rock.
At this moment, a gurgling sound came from his stomach.
Romon sank into the space and took out a bag of milk, as well as some jerky.
After walking for so long, he did not find clean water to drink, let alone anything to eat, in these caves he has seen, except for stones are stones, and stalagmites are stalagmites. Although it does look good, it looks good and can't be eaten as a meal, and as for the dripping water, you can drink it when it's really difficult, and it's just now.
Putting a piece of jerky in his mouth and chewing slowly, Romon began to think about what to do next.
As a result, he thought about it for a long time, and in the end, he decided to continue walking, and if he walked for another two hours, he still didn't see anything valuable, so he turned back.
What monsters are also to be consumed, and Romon doesn't believe in underground monsters, so don't eat.
If there is no valuable water source or underground life cave for such a long distance, then your territory is very safe.
Because of the physical exertion, Luo Meng ate a small bag of dried meat before he stopped, and then drank a few sips of milk until he felt full, and then put the rest of the food back into the Shennongjiao space.
Next, he leaned against the stone wall and rested for a while, this time was not very short, and he still had to walk a long way, and if he encountered any danger, he also needed to fight back, so it was important to recover his physical strength.
When he got up again, it was still dark. Quietly, somewhat scary.
Getting up, regrouping his suit, and packing everything up, he left the cave where he was resting, and continued his way forward.
As he walked, Romon suddenly stopped and sniffled.
"There's water in the wind?" he muttered to himself, then, looking in the direction ahead, a pensive expression.
If there is moisture in the wind, then there must be a large source of water not far from here. If there is a large area of water, then it is likely that plants will appear.
Luo Meng's heart didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and immediately went in the direction of the water vapor.
After a moment, turning to a place, Romon stopped.
On the opposite side, more than ten meters, there is a huge cave with water in it, and this water even forms a huge pond.
The water was clear and seemed very clean, but Romon wouldn't be stupid enough to test for himself if the water was poisonous.
As soon as you glance at it, there are a lot of plants growing around this huge pond.
Some of these plants are very ordinary, much like some kind of plant on the ground, but if you look closely, you will find some differences between them, and obviously, this is some new species.
And some plants are simply exaggerated, or look like stones, or look like a villain, and some are colorful, looking extremely dazzling.
As a druid, there is nothing more joyful than the discovery of a new species.
But as a lord, Luo Meng is very depressed, this is a huge supplementary base, it should be said, the proportion of monsters generated, is much larger.
Just as he was about to step forward, suddenly, Luo Meng took a step back, used the technique he had just learned, and hid by a stalagmite.
After a moment, he poked his head out again and looked at the plants in the cave over there.
A creature with a humanoid shape and obvious signs of vegetation was at the water's edge, and the druid's instincts told him it was dangerous.
What is it?
Romon examined the cave.
Underground passages often have compartments, and strictly speaking, the same is true of the cave in front of you.
Below were rivers of ponds and groundwater, the stones covered with moss, and the small stream of water meandered through them, and on top of that, there were these tree-like figures with a faint light.
Underground Ghost Fire Tree, Luo Meng thought violently.
After all, plants need to absorb inorganic matter and sunlight to obtain energy, but because most plants in the dark region cannot be exposed to sunlight, only fungi can survive, so most plant life in the dark area is composed of some kind of huge fungus.
In this world, fungi belong to the plant class, and druids can communicate and use them completely.
It's just that, like the tree people on the surface, only the Ghost Fire Tree, which lasts for thousands of years, can develop its own wisdom and become this kind of tree man-like form.
But this also means a high danger, anyone who can become a tree man, their instinct and strength, are at least equivalent to the eleventh or higher profession, and the power of the tree of war can be equivalent to more than fifteen, but the lack of knowledge of how to use it makes them now in a very vulnerable situation, and they can only use their instinct to fight.
And this enlightenment is exactly the greatest power that the druids have.
Why don't you use your druid powers to communicate, and if you succeed, you'll gain a group of powerful allies.
Romon hesitated.
At that moment, a tree man seemed to realize it and looked in this direction.
Luo Meng was startled in his heart, and stepped out without thinking, and when he took a step, he scolded himself, it turned out that this tree man just unconsciously swept here, and as a result, he thought that he was exposed.
But now that I've stepped up, it's a completely different story.
The six Phantom Fire Treemen looked at them together, and the powerful natural power was working on them, and Romon was immediately frightened and didn't dare to move, and both sides were stunned.
In a moment, one of the largest treemen stood in front of Romon.
Romon didn't make any moves, and he knew that if he made the slightest move, he could cause a fight.
The tallest of the treants stared at him, seemingly, a little confused.
For a moment, a cloud of green light spat out at him.
Romon hesitated and accepted it.
"Strange, some familiar taste, and it's not. The idea of the Treant reached Romon through a telepathic connection created by the forces of nature.
"I'm a druid. Romon replied quickly in his heart.
"I know, but you're weird!" the Treant Leader repeated in a heightened tone, "Something familiar, but it's not." ”
Romon didn't know what to say.
In a moment, telepathic contact came with another question: "Are you a traitor?"
When asked this, Luo Meng clearly felt that the other five tree people were all nervous.
Romon knew that if he answered incorrectly, it would be an attack and death.
At this moment, Romon had a flash of inspiration and suddenly understood, and he immediately replied: "No, I am not, I am a druid of fire, a descendant of the elves!"
In an instant, he understood that to the Treants, the human agricultural druid, was a traitor.
Only the children of nature can awaken them and protect them, so they will always stand on the side of the elves, and in their eyes humans are traitors who turn their backs on nature and are enemies who drive them out.
