Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Mother Tree

"Why do you want to save me? I want to kill you. Eric, who was walking in front, leaned his head and whispered.

"Ahh ”

Aaron held on to the tree and paused slightly.

Now he was very tired, and after driving away the demon wolf with Eric, the last thing he wanted to do was to get a good rest.

However, Eric said something that completely dispelled Aaron's idea.

"If you rest here, those brutes might make a comeback. ”

Aaron didn't want another Demon Wolf Horror, and more importantly, he didn't have the strength he had before. Eric is no better than Aaron, either. The rapier is now a broken sword, and the weapon is only a bow and arrow, although some arrows that have been shot have been recovered, but the arrows are consumables after all, and sooner or later they will be consumed.

Eric counted the arrows, and there were only eighteen left.

"How far is the top of the Emerald from here?"

"I don't know. ”

"Haven't you lived here for hundreds of years?"

"It's one hundred and sixty years. Eric said dissatisfied, he was still young and didn't want people to talk about him as if he was an old man.

"That's a long time, I'm only sixteen now. Aaron tilted his head and said, if you count the age before the crossing, he is only in his thirties now.

Eric rolled his eyes, feeling that there was a generation gap between him and Aaron.

"Are you immortal?"

"No, only the lifespan of high-level elves is close to immortality, such as kings, such as Elder Suston, and Princess Eunice. I only have seven or eight hundred years to live, right?" Eric sighed.

Regardless of race, ancestry is always the most crucial.

"Now you're over a fifth, so pathetic. Aaron looked at Eric pitifully, giving Eric the urge to punch him to death.

An elf was discriminated against by a Terran in terms of lifespan, which made Eric want to cry without tears.

Sometimes it's better for two people to quarrel with each other than to be silent. And Aaron and Eric have eased their relationship somewhat after experiencing the Demon Wolf Horror, and Aaron also hopes that he can take this opportunity to quickly close the relationship between the two - in fact, there is no need to be particularly close, as long as Eric does not draw his sword to him while he is resting.

So far, Aaron's plan has gone relatively well.

"Since you're so old, why can't you still recognize the way? It stands to reason that you know very well how far this place is from the top of the Emerald Mountains, right?"

The green tendons on Eric's forehead were exposed, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and smiling at Aaron, but it looked more scary, especially the two rows of teeth clenched together made Aaron feel that Eric was definitely likely to bite him to death.

"I'm sorry, I'm lost......" Eric said why.

"Oh, lost...... Huh, lost?"

Desperate questions echoed through the forest, and Eric turned his head in embarrassment.

This is really not something to be proud of.

"What then? We're not going to die here, are we?" If he hadn't been killed by Sastton, but had starved to death in this place, Saston would have laughed out loud, right?

"No, I'll find my way right away. Eric said confidently.

"Find the direction? How to find it?" Aaron looked at the sky, the dense foliage was like a huge shed, obscuring the sun, so there was no way to determine the direction according to the sun now.

"Look there. ”

Aaron looked in the direction of Eric's finger, and there was a large tree not far away. It was too large compared to the surrounding trees, and compared to the two trees in front of the gate of St. Desi, it did not fall in the slightest.

"This tree is so big. Aaron was surprised.

"This tree is called the 'mother tree' in the Anyya Forest, and the trees of the entire Anyya Forest are descendants of the 'Mother Tree'. The 'Mother Tree' is taller and bigger than the other trees, so if we get lost, we look for the 'Mother Tree' and climb to the top of the 'Mother Tree' to find the direction. ”

"There must be very few trees like this, right?"

"There must be only a hundred trees in the entire Anya Forest. It's all over the Anya Forest, so I didn't know there would be a 'mother tree' here. So, you're in luck. ”

"Haha, my luck will be better if you don't get lost. Aaron laughed awkwardly.

"I know you've always wanted to get closer to me, you seem to have made a mistake, and I didn't give up killing you, and I won't thank you for saving me last night. I won't believe what you say. It's just that the king asked me to take you in search of the 'monster forager', so I won't kill you for the time being, that's all. You don't think that our relationship has changed. I'm telling you, no. If Her Royal Highness the Princess does not wake up, man and elf will never become friends. ”

"Well, even so, I'll thank you. "It seems that the conflict between humans and elves has been completely intensified because of Eunice. Aaron suddenly felt a lot of pressure on his body, and whether Eunice woke up or not was not only related to the safety of the twenty of them, but also related to the stage of development between Tanya and the elves.

"You're not the same as before. When we first met, I never imagined that you would be someone who would apologize to me. Eric scoffed.

Aaron sighed, as if he hadn't noticed Eric's tone, and whispered, "They're my friends, and I don't want to lose them, that's all." ”

Eric stepped on the branches of the "mother tree" and climbed upward, like a monkey, and disappeared into the dense foliage in three or two clicks. Originally, Aaron was also about to climb up, but because he was too tired, he squatted down against the "mother tree", and his consciousness gradually blurred.

I don't know how long it took, but Aaron suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder. Aaron rubbed his eyes and looked up, finding Eric standing beside him.

"How's it going?" Aaron stood up and wiped saliva from his mouth.

"Of course I found it, in that direction. Eric said, pointing to the back right.

"Huh, really, what's that direction?" Aaron moved his body, still very tired.

"Southeast. ”

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know. If it's just me, it's about a day and a half, and it's hard to say anything about you. Eric thought for a moment and said.

Aaron scratched his head, he was really a drag now, but he really couldn't help it, was he's in such a bad health, and the loss of his horse made his situation very difficult.

"I'm trying not to hold you back. Aaron assured Ex that even Aaron didn't believe much of what he said.
