Chapter 425: The Life and Death of the Old Tree
As early as a few decades ago, Selman had heard from Helan's mouth that this old tree grandfather, who cultivated his spiritual intelligence as a plant was an outlier in the Warcraft Forest, like an elder, he took care of the two of them when Helan and her sister Helo were young, and his lifespan had reached a thousand years, and his strength was at least a seventh-order high-level or even above, in this era of withering magic fighting spirit, such strength could almost be said to be a rare opponent on the mainland. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In this way, whether it is qualifications or strength, the existence that should be standing at the top of the continent would fall in this dense forest so quietly? It shouldn't be, but sure enough, that short sword ......
Just as Selman was thinking about the dagger stuck in the trunk of the old tree, suddenly the voice of Cheruth pulled him out of his thoughts.
"That's not right...... No, Grandpa Tree is still alive!"
Thelman turned his head sideways, and saw the wolf girl with the Nolan mark on her forehead shining with white brilliance raising her hand, looking at a small green vine growing from the center of her white palm with a relieved expression.
Cheruth was ecstatic, the main limitation of her evolutionary law is that in addition to "there can be an infinite number of evolutionary possibilities, but there can only be one true evolutionary direction", there is also an important rule, that is, the object ontology as an evolutionary template must be a creature living in this world.
Once the ontology of the evolution template is judged by the laws of the world to not be counted as still alive in this world, then even if the information of the other party has been recorded by the laws of evolution, it will be forcibly eliminated from the evolution template of Cheruth at the same time as the death of the ontology, and now the template information of Grandpa Lao Shu in her evolution law has not been erased, which means that Grandpa Lao Shu, who is the prototype of the evolution template, is still judged by the laws of the world to live in this world!
Selman looked at Cheruth's actions and her surprised expression, and although he couldn't quite understand why Cheruth was suddenly so sure that the old tree was still alive, he wouldn't be looking into anything at this time.
Everyone has their own secrets, not to mention that no matter whether the old tree is really not dead or just a misjudgment by Cheruth, this kind of thing of pouring cold water on other people's wounds is always not good, isn't it?
Because of his unfamiliar relationship with the old tree, Selman was not as shocked by the current situation of the old tree as Cillus, but instead became interested in the short sword that was being inserted in the trunk of the old tree at the moment.
I don't know why, from the first time he saw the short sword, an inexplicable sense of disgust and disobedience immediately welled up in his heart. It was just a short sword abandoned on the victim's body, but whenever Selman saw the short sword, he must have felt extremely uncomfortable all over his body.
It's as if there's an ugly stain on a painting, or as if a monster with teeth and claws suddenly appears on a peaceful pure land......
Thelman tightened his expression and grabbed Cheruth, who wanted to step forward to get closer to the trunk of the old tree after confirming that the old tree was not dead.
"Don't go over!"
Seeing that Cheruth turned her head to look at herself, Thelman pointed to the dagger stuck in the trunk of the old tree.
"There's something wrong with that sword...... I felt an ominous feeling from above, dangerous, ...... Evil ......"
Hearing Selman's words, Chelus paused and looked back at the dagger before speaking lightly.
"Ah, I know...... It's the breath of the devil. β
This time it was replaced by Selman who was shocked.
"You, how are you ......?!"
No wonder Selman was stunned, the war between gods and demons has a history of more than a thousand years, and there are records about demons that have always been regarded as taboo on the continent, and it is very difficult to know some knowledge and common sense about demons on the continent of Ares today, let alone experience the demonic aura in person.
Since the end of the gods and demons, since the fall of the gods and the exorcism of demons, there has never been a real demon on the continent of Areth, even when the descendants are exploring the ancient ruins, at best, they will only find some alien demonic monsters infected by the demonic breath that has not been cleaned up on the items left over from the ancient times and produce some mutations, but even the demonic breath on those demonized creatures is not very strong, or it is not the real demonic breath at all, but only the demonic creatures themselves that are contaminated with a little demonic breathγ
Thelman was able to discern the sheer demonic aura on the dagger thanks to the dragon legacy. You must know that the dragon clan has a very long lifespan, and perhaps for other races, the predecessors who dominated the battlefield of gods and demons have long been characters in the legendary story, but for the dragon clan, from the end of the war between gods and demons to the present, the entire dragon clan has experienced three to four generations of succession.
Many dragons, including Selman, who are now in the prime of life, have listened to the old dragons of their grandfather's generation tell about the various characteristics and horrors of the demons they encountered on the battlefield of gods and demons back then, and even the dragons, as the vanguard of the anti-demons of the year, still have a large number of weapons and trophies of the warriors of various races during the war of gods and demons, and many things still have a purer and stronger demonic atmosphere than the burial goods in those improperly preserved ruins on the continent.
When the older generation of dragons talk about the horror of demons, they often take young dragons to the sealed place, so that they can experience what the real demonic aura looks like up close under the protection of adult dragons, and because of this, Selman was able to identify the demonic aura on the short sword at the first time...... But how could this girl know?
Seeing that Selman was surprised that he had given the correct answer, Cheruth was not in the mood to explain more, and simply responded.
"Oh, when I went out on an adventure before, I accidentally teamed up with my companions to solve a half-awakened great demon in an underground ruin, so I'm more familiar with the demonic aura. β
What the hell is that "I've seen this thing at a market stall in XX Town"! We're talking about pure demonic vibes, not any flavorful snacks, okay! And what's going on with that half-awakened demon! What the hell have you and your friends been through before? Do you know how to hang your parents like this!
Ah, if there is a gray wind in the so-called little friends, then I do know my role as a parent (although it has not been officially recognized......
β...... Ahem, well, if you have time, I hope you can explain this to me well......" Selman tried to keep himself from thinking about what his daughter might have experienced under the leadership of this ghost elf sister over the years that he and his wife and daughter had been separated, "Anyway, what are you going to do now? β
"But, what about Grandpa Old Tree?"
Cheruth, who has experienced the incident of the desert ruins, also knows very well that it is very dangerous to touch things with demonic aura without permission, but she has no choice, after all, although it can be judged that Grandpa Old Tree is still alive through the laws of evolution, but from the current state, there is no vitality fluctuation on the trunk of the old tree's body at all, it is completely like he is dead, maybe Grandpa Old Tree is now in a dying state of being violently eroded by the demonic aura on the short sword.
If she didn't pull the bad-looking dagger out of the old tree's body in time, Cheruth was worried that Grandpa the old tree wouldn't be able to hold on if he didn't know something.
After hearing Cheruth's concern, Selman looked thoughtfully at the old tree in front of him, which looked dead from the outside.
"No, I think you're overthinking, the old tree is completely dead as you and I have seen, and there is no chance of survival. β
"How could it be ......?"
"Although I haven't seen this old tree, but there are things about this senior, I have heard a lot about Herlan before, as a seventh-order law powerhouse, and also an old man who has lived a thousand years of life and has witnessed the demeanor of ancient powerhouses, this old tree Mr. has no doubt about the cultivation and understanding of the power of the law, and because of this, this demon short sword will have such an effect. β
Thelman said, looking at the demon's dagger stuck in the trunk of the old tree, revealing a rare hint of jealousy.
"Demons are calamities that do not belong to this world, their biggest horror is that they can destroy the rules and laws of this world, and the strong people who have cultivated to the level of the old tree predecessors can almost be said to be the embodiment of some kind of rules, if it is just the demonic breath infected from the outside, then there is no need to be afraid at all, but like this, it is directly pierced into the body by a weapon with demonic breath, so that the chaotic characteristics of the demon's law of destruction occur directly in the body, it is undoubtedly an extremely deadly poison for the law powerhouseγ The body of the old tree's predecessors has been completely eroded by the demonic aura, and there is no possibility of resurrection at all. β
"But, but ......"
However, although this situation means death for the general law powerhouse, it is not necessarily for the old tree seniors. β
Saying this, Selman smiled a somewhat casually and looked at the concerned Cheruth.
"Aren't you usually very smart, but why have you become stupid now? Haven't you thought of living with the old tree seniors for so many years...... The old tree predecessor, it was originally neither a human nor a magical beast, nor was it other intelligent and non-intelligent races or beasts, it was a tree, and it was the only magical plant on the continent of Ares that had spiritual intelligence and successfully cultivated to the law level. β
Tree...... That's right, plants......
Cheruth suddenly brightened.
"You're saying that it's very likely that Grandpa Tree will continue to live in a plant-specific way when his original body has completely died...... Yes, it must be so. β
With the ability of the old tree grandfather, it can completely give birth to a tree seed before the laws of the ontology are infected and collapsed, and store the consciousness and soul that have not yet been eroded into it, and then entrust it to someone you trust to take away...... Maybe it's entrusted to Aunt Heran!
Seeing that Cheruth's face was gradually getting better, Selman also smiled with some relief. As long as she can turn that corner, the rest of the things don't need him to instruct, and this girl should be able to straighten it out herself.
At that moment, a slight movement suddenly came from a bush beside the two men.
Both of them reacted sharply, and Selman instantly swung the flame fighting qi in his hand in the direction of the bush, and Cheruth followed closely behind and used the spell shortcut on his arm to replenish three wind pressure magic bullets in succession.
However, the small figure that emerged from the bush and the screams of the other party surprised Cheruth, and she quickly pressed a few keys on the compiler on her arm, causing the three wind pressure magic bullets to turn around in mid-air, colliding with Selman's flaming fist and exploding before hitting the opponent.
"Ahh
Seeing the little brown furball blown out by the explosion wind rolling on the ground for a few times and then falling on its back and subconsciously starting to crash to death, the feeling in Chelus's heart that she hadn't seen for a long time was suddenly replaced by a kind of "This guy still hasn't changed at all" funny. The wolf girl ran over in three or two steps, looked at the brown-skinned squirrel spread on the ground with its limbs and a tuft of soft fur tail spread on the ground like a small blanket, and said playfully.
"Okay, did it really hit you, don't play dead!"
The squirrel on the ground twitched, and his swarthy little eyes only opened slightly, and the thief squinted at Cheruth in front of him, and his little nose moved up and down, and then he got up from the ground.
"Cheruth Cheruth is really you? Great, you're finally back, what about Grey Wind? Are you coming back together? Oh, it's really, really dangerous in the forest now, I noticed the two of you when you came here before, but you were with a human with you, so I didn't dare to admit it, you don't know how scary it was to see you attack me just now, I almost thought I was going to die-"
"Small, fly!"
Cheruth gritted her teeth in the amused eyes of Selman, who came from behind, and mercilessly broke her two hind legs, standing upright with her two front paws, and not letting go, like a machine gun, talking non-stop squirrels.
"How many times have I told you, say, heavy, point!"
The little squirrel holding Cheruth's calf looked up, and the two little black eyes blinked at Cheruth, and then looked pitiful.
β........................β
"Why the silence, hey, so I haven't seen you for more than three years, and you still don't know what is the point of speaking!!" )
