Chapter Eighty-Five: Moon Lake

Count Ould looked at the tea in his cup and realized that something was most likely going to happen to the ancestral steppe.

The tribes in the west trace their history, and their ancestors all came from the ancestral grasslands. At that time, in the selfless irrigation and nourishment of the World Tree, the Ancestral Grassland had the most fertile land in the entire Western Realm, and the World Tree thus became the totem of the hearts of all the tribes in the Western Realm, worshiped and protected.

The ancestral grassland became a brilliant civilization in ancient times.

It's just that the ancestral grassland civilization nurtured by the world tree is lagging behind the five ancient civilizations. In the ancient war that affected the whole world, the ancestors were swept up in the grassland. The tribes of the steppes were slaughtered, and the World Tree was burned and destroyed.

Thousands of years have passed, and all that remains of the World Tree that once covered the sky and the sun are the stumps and some branches scattered across the grassland, which are known as the World Tree Ruins.

Located in the middle of the Ancestral Grassland, the World Tree is the stump left over from the World Tree, with a maximum diameter of 1,500 meters and a maximum height of 600 meters. The outer layer of bark petrified forms a crater that surrounds a lake in the middle.

The lake has a beautiful name called Moon Lake, because the shadow of the moon on the surface of the lake at night is very large, and it can occupy a third of the lake's surface during the full moon. Looking down from the crater at night, it's easy to get mesmerized by the beautiful moon shadows.

The overflowing lake forms more than a dozen waterfalls of various sizes around the crater. Some are trickling; Some reach a width of 100 meters, turbulent and rushing; And it spewed out from the cracks in the rocks like a dragon's breath.

Waterfalls converge into rivers that flow into the distance, and on both sides of the river are scattered steppe barbarian tribes.

Among the barbarian tribes, whether they are elves, orcs, halflings, goblins, dwarves...... They still follow the duties handed down by their ancestors and guard the World Tree.

It's just that the remnants of the World Tree are constantly weakening.

When the World Tree truly dies, the ancestral grassland it created will also be buried by the wind and sand.

And when the remnants guarding here accept the reality and prepare to accompany the World Tree on its final journey, Shinying brings a message from the East.

A ferocious Warsong who has traveled the world returns, bringing her a way to revive the World Tree and awakening a portion of the World Tree's power through a World Tree ruin.

Now that part of the World Tree's power has transformed into an ancient treeman, it is coming to the World Tree Master's Ruins......

Ancient Treants!

It was a transcendent creature that lived in symbiosis with the World Tree, but since the destruction of the World Tree, all the ancient treants have died with it.

Are there really any ancient treants awakened?

Is the World Tree saved?

The news swept through all the tribes near the ruins of the World Tree Master like a tidal wave, and the clansmen of all the tribes came out of their tents or burrows to guess the truth of the news.

After all, the ancestors had tried to revive the World Tree, but all failed without exception, is this news true or false?

But more and more eagles are flying from the east, and all the news that has been sent has confirmed that the ancient tree man really exists, and it is coming here.

Its steps are heavy and steady, and its branches are lush and full of vitality. It is a true ancient tree man, a healthy ancient tree man.

The spirit that revives it is coming together.

Her name is Clear Sky, a fierce war song among the steppe elves, who left the ancestral steppe when she was young to find a way to revive the World Tree. Now that she's back, she's the patriarch of the Yueyong tribe, bringing hope to the ancestral grasslands.

Then more and more elves rode fast horses. The horses were so tired that they couldn't foam at the mouth, and the elves were so tired that they almost fainted, but the excitement of their spirits made them excitedly tell what they had seen.

It's an ancient treeman!

It's really an ancient treeman!

It's coming here, coming here with the elven sky!

The whole grassland was boiling.

The chiefs of the tribe immediately sent their strongest warriors to protect the ancient treemen, and the small group of cavalry gathered into a cavalry tide and rushed towards the east.

Everyone else is ready to greet the Ancient Treants and the Elven Sky.

In the days that followed, the barbarian tribes that had arrived from afar converged towards the ruins of the World Tree, and tents were added to the meadows. Everyone waited nervously, and even the dwarves, who liked to drink and be lively the most, stood in the clearing all day looking to the east.

In the sky, there was the densest group of letter eagles on the grassland of the ancestors, and the cavalry who came to return the letter one after another. Although they brought the same news, the people never tired of hearing the news they had received from themselves and other tribes.

Where did the ancient treants go?

How strong and beautiful is it? How many branches, how many nodules, how many branches, how many leaves?

Every piece of news can cause people to talk about it for a long time.

In addition to discussing the ancient treants, the Elven Sky is also a major topic of conversation among the tribes.

When did she leave the ancestral grassland, and which fierce warsong tribe was she born in? What has she experienced during her travels, and how strong is she?

The days are spent day by day in anticipation.

When one morning, there were no more letter eagles shuttling in the air, and no cavalry rushing back, and the grassland was quietly shrouded.

People who realized what was going on spontaneously mounted their mounts and gathered towards the east. Everyone straightened up and looked in the direction of the rising sun, and no one used magic or skills to increase their vision, and all greeted the arrival of hope with the most reverent gesture.

Soon the earth began to shake, and large groups of cavalry appeared from the horizon of the steppe. In the light of the sun, a tall tree could be seen, which was being surrounded by cavalry and walking towards it.

It's an ancient treeman!

It's really an ancient treeman!

It's coming this way!

A trumpet sounded, and then all the tribesmen's trumpeters took out their trumpets and sounded the triumphant tune.

The long sound forms a wave that spans thousands of years......

Clear Sky rides on the back of a camel and walks next to an ancient tree man. The leading cavalry dispersed to the flanks, relegating them to the front of the line.

Not far ahead was the welcoming procession, with different races riding different mounts, horses, camels, pack beasts, wolves, velociraptor lizards...... The line stretched to both sides, with no end in sight.

Behind the greeting procession is the towering World Tree Owner Crater, where the sun shines on the grey walls and silver waterfalls cascade down.

Seeing this scenery again, the clear sky still can't help but be infected by this magnificence, thinking about what the former World Tree looked like.

The ancient tree man never stopped his steps, and it walked towards the crater. Everywhere they passed, the barbarians all automatically moved out of the way and bowed their heads in salute. The ancient treant did not stop for anyone, and with every step it took it carried a large expanse of dirt, and the soil was full of new grass sprouts.

Clear Sky stopped the camel in front of an old elf on horseback, who lifted her hood to reveal the pattern of her cheeks, and saluted the old elf: "Bless you, High Priest of Gran. I am the patriarch of the Elven Clear Sky, the fierce Warsong Moon Wing Tribe. The ritual of reviving the World Tree is about to begin, so please keep order with the priests and patriarchs at the helm of a fierce war song. ”

The High Priest of Golan wears a crown of thorns representing the status of the High Priest, and his skin is like the bark of a dry tree. His eyes were cloudy, and he used another vision to observe the fierce war song elf in front of him.

"Child, the fierce war song is at your disposal, what do you need us to do?"

Clear Sky looked at the ancient tree people who had gone far away, and said to High Priest Goran, "The revival of the World Tree will form a great tide in the Moon Lake. At that time, the World Tree was not yet able to control the flash floods, and it was too dangerous to gather so many people here, and it was necessary to evacuate to a place far away from the river and the crater. ”

The High Priest of Goran ordered the elves behind him to evacuate the barbarians gathered here by the Fierce Warsong Order away from the crater.

Then he asked the clear sky, "Is there anything else you want us to do?" ”

"The resurrection of the World Tree will expel mysterious energy that penetrates the root system, and these mysterious energies will transform into monsters and attack the growing branches of the World Tree. Fierce Warsong can walk on the surface of Moon Lake and is responsible for destroying all monsters that are expelled by the roots of the World Tree.

Those monsters are very powerful, try to pick the fierce war songs with strength. ”

The High Priest of Goran sent the elves to inform all the tribes of the Fierce Warsong to send their best warriors into the Moon Lake and prepare for battle.

"Patriarch Clearsky, the other barbarians also have very powerful warriors, and they must also want to participate in this great ritual and bring glory to their tribe."

Clear Sky knows that the honor of protecting the World Tree cannot be monopolized by Fierce Warsong.

The resurgence of the World Tree represents the gradual unification of the scattered barbarians of the West, and after these warriors participate in the protection of the World Tree, they will form the Moonlight Knights and become the guards of the Moonlight Court.

High Priest Goran was able to think so quickly of what would happen in the future, and he was worthy of being a wise man of fierce war songs.

Clear Sky said indifferently: "The power to protect the young branches of the World Tree is, of course, the stronger the better. I've been away from the Ancestral Steppe for too long, and I'm no longer familiar with this place, so I'll leave the selection of warriors to you. ”

"Please rest assured, Patriarch Sunny Sky."

Clear Sky led her team forward, and then followed the ancient treants up the crater.

Surrounded by craters, the surface of Moon Lake is smooth and clean, without a trace of ripples. A huge spring gushes upwards in the middle of the lake, but the surface of the lake seems to be still, and the ripples disappear after a few ripples.

The roots of the ancient treants could easily burrow into the rocks, and the steep walls did not hinder it. It walked up the mountain wall to the top of the mountain, and then to the lake, and walked into the lake without pause.

The ancient tree man that entered the Moon Lake did not sink, and its feet full of roots walked smoothly on the surface of the lake, as if there was some support under the surface of the lake. It walked in the direction of the spring, ripples beneath its feet, and then quickly disappeared.

At this moment, Fierce Warsong and other barbarian warriors appeared from all directions of the crater, their weapons in their hands, and their eyes looked at the ancient treemen walking on the surface of the lake.

Behind Clear Sky, the orc Kylehain gasped for air as he held his knife in both hands. The excitement made him unable to control his muscles, and the knife shook violently in his hand.

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect to be in this fight. If I survive to the end, I will definitely bring this honor to my mother, and I can take her out of the tribe and return to her homeland. ”

The sheriff jumps out of Jenverny's pocket and turns into an ocelot. He dipped his front paws in the lake water, and quickly withdrew it in disgust, and said to Clear Sky with resentment: "Miss Clear Sky, you know that cats hate water the most. Can I wait for you on the shore, anyway, my combat power is equal to nothing. ”

Clear Sky stepped into the lake, and the bloodline of the fierce war song allowed her to walk on this special lake.

She walked towards the center of the lake and said to the sheriff, "The revival of the World Tree will inevitably bring blessings." Whoever kills more monsters will get more blessings, and they will also get a participation prize on the shore. ”

Hearing that he could receive the blessing of the World Tree, the sheriff's lazy body straightened up instantly. The claws were exposed, and he bared his teeth and said, "Miss Sunny Sky wait for me ......"

But as soon as the sheriff's paws were in the water, they immediately retracted, and the cat's fear of water was not so easy to overcome.

At this time, Jenverny took out a pendant and put it around the sheriff's neck: "This is a prop made by Miss Sunny Sky, called 'Limbo', which allows you to walk on the water." ”

The sheriff with the pendant on again stretched out its claws towards the lake, and this time instead of burrowing into the water, it stepped on the water. Seeing that he could really walk on the water, the sheriff rushed forward and chased after the clear sky.

He knew that following the clear sky was not only safe, but he could also eat big meat.

Jenvernie took out another "Limbo" pendant and gave it to Kyle Harin: "This is what Miss Sunny Sky made for you." ”

"Thank you, Miss Weatherlight, thank you, Miss Jenverny." Kyle Hain took the pendant and put it around his neck, tried again to really step on the surface of the lake, and quickly chased after the clear sky.

Gianverne pulled out a "Limbo" pendant again, and she looked at Modesty.

Modisty held the scimitar and said with a smile, "Don't give me this, I'm also a fierce war song." ”

After saying that, Modisty stepped directly on the lake and walked forward.

Jenvernie put the Limbo pendant on herself, and quickly caught up with the group.

In other directions, the elves of the fierce war song entered the Moon Lake one after another, and the warriors of other barbarian tribes walked on the lake if they had spells and props to walk on the lake, and those who did not stayed on the shore.

Soon on the surface and shore of the Moon Lake, each warrior occupies a place. Outside the crater, the barbarians retreated into the distance, silently praying for the World Tree.

The ancient tree man walked to the location of the spring of the Moon Lake, and a force instantly pulled it underwater. The churning spring stopped rising at this moment and formed a downward vortex.

The water of the whirlpool is turbulent, and a bottomless black hole appears in the center of the whirlpool. The black hole expands larger and larger, and in a moment it expands into a hole ten meters in diameter.

If you look down from above, you can see a little bit of green flashing in the dark underground space.

Clear Sky said to the warriors around him, "After I go down, the mysterious energy will rise and be discharged. Your mission is to hold the entrance to the cave and do your best to keep the monsters from rushing in.

The twigs of the World Tree are very fragile, and if you want it to grow, don't let it get hurt......"

With that, Clear Sky jumped into the black hole, leaving the dumbfounded sheriff at the entrance of the cave.
