Chapter 9: Under the Night

The Tree of Life is a super huge ancient tree that grows in the center of the Tianfeng Continent, in the Elven Secret Realm (that is, the capital of the Elven Kingdom), and its survival age is longer than the history of the Elf Race.

According to legend, the Pair of Life is a sacred relic given to the elves by the elven goddess and is the home of the elves' souls. It is rich in three things.

The seed of life, the water of life, the leaf of life.

The seed of life has no effect on other races except for the elf race, and its only effect is that it can grow a large number of secondary life trees, that is, elven trees, and the second level of the elven tree is the kind of war tree that the elves can use to become tree warriors, all elven forests are basically composed of a dozen elven trees as the core, and then give birth to a large number of war trees again, and then form combat effectiveness.

The water of life is the seventh precious thing in the top ten heavenly and earthly treasures, in fact, it is the sap of the tree of life, the tree of life is extremely huge, and the inside of its core is a small city, and in the core of its core, it will constantly secrete a kind of sap, which is the water of life, its effect is quite magical, that is, it can purify the purity of soul power, so as to improve the intelligence and combat effectiveness of the war soul, and long-term use can also increase the upper limit of soul power storage. It's a pity that this ability is only effective for elves, and for foreigners, the water of life is just a sweet sap.

The leaf of life is an excellent carrier for throwing refuge in rune equipment, don't look at the leaves, but because of its special nature, its strength is comparable to steel, and the toughness is excellent, and the elven armor and elven cloak of the elves are made of the leaf of life.

Therefore, it is understandable that the Tree of Life has become a sacred object of the elves.

However, from the inheritance that Tang Dou got from the Dragon King, the truth of history is that the original role of the Tree of Life was to cultivate the elf race, in short, the Dragon Clan was a special tree species obtained from the heavenly realm through transformation, and finally created the Tree of Life through thousands of years of transformation.

The first primordial spirits were not born or jumped out of stones, but grew from trees.

But only the first three generations of primordial elves grew from the tree of life, and then the function of the elves as a race slowly improved, they had the power of self-reproduction, and the dragons began to transform the tree of life again, making it more compatible with the elves.

It can be said that the most fundamental reason why the elves started at the silver level is because of the transformation of the tree of life by the dragon clan, so that the soul of the entire elf race can be sublimated, so that it has such a powerful heritage.

But everything in the world is balanced, the dragon clan wants to create a perfect war puppet, but it finally came to an end, and although the elf race starts at the silver level, it is difficult to give birth, and the population base is scarce (the whole race is only more than 20 million, and the hundreds of millions of the demon race and the billions of human beings are not comparable at all) At the same time, although the whole people start at the silver level, and there is a BUG royal family like the golden elf that suppresses the war spirit of all races, but the elf race has a rather embarrassing problem, that is, the lack of middle-level masters.

In the elven race, silver and gold abound, but the number of platinum began to decline sharply, and the crystal and jade level were almost non-existent, until the diamond level, they regained the upper hand.

So the reality is. The elves have tens of millions of silver, millions of gold, and thousands of platinum, but there are almost no crystals and jade. And the diamond level, they have so many humans and demons combined.

This is indeed a powerful force, but it does not mean that the elves can sweep away the demons and humans.

Five thousand years ago, the last expedition of the elves was because the humans and the demon clan used a large number of crystal-level and jade-level sacrifices at any cost to assist their diamond-level frontal hard steel elven clan's diamond level, although the elves had a lot of diamond levels, but they were reluctant to die, so they were suppressed by humans and demons in turn.

In terms of combat effectiveness at the bottom, although the whole people start at the silver level, there are so many in total. On the demon clan's side, relying on strong physical fitness and racial skills such as madness, they blocked the elves alive. The human side made the elves even more depressed, and it was directly a pile of people, and during the hundred-year-long expedition, the human beings were stunned to use hundreds of millions of ordinary and bronze levels to suppress the millions of silver levels of the elves. And the gold level and platinum level on the human side far surpass the elves. So in the end, the elves calculated that they could kill the humans, at least to the point where they could not recover for hundreds of years, but the price they had to pay was to die for themselves.

The death of those hardliners during the expedition also made the last group of conquerors of the elves disappear, and since then the elves have turned to a relatively moderate style. It was at that time that the Tree of Life was developed by the elves for its current three major uses - the seed of life, the water of life, and the leaf of life.

To sum up, the Tree of Life was just an incubator at first, and later transformed into a soul booster for the whole clan of the elven race. After the dragons were finished and the elves had lost all their ability to transform the Tree of Life, they finally began to attack the "by-product" of the Tree of Life.

The seed of life, the water of life, and the leaf of life are such by-products for the tree of life, as long as the elves are not brain-dead to the point of extinction, then these three things are inexhaustible treasures for the elves.

And after thousands of years of development, because of the loss of some historical records, as well as the more and more perfect, but more and more distorted "elf goddess worship", the tree of life has become a sacred thing for the elves, even the three "holy relics" that can never be used up under normal circumstances have been artificially endowed with various meanings.

In the concept of the shepherds, the seed of life is the tear of mercy of the elven goddess, and it is the key sacred object used to give the whole race development and evolution. Because all the life needs and cultivation needs of the traditional elves can be obtained from the elven forest, the shepherds have always believed that the elves exist because of the existence of the seed of life.

For the shepherds, if they want to choose to protect the seed of life or save their lives, each of them will not hesitate to die for the seed of life.

So how could Sarando Vera not be able to imagine under what circumstances would a group of shepherds have to abandon their seeds of life and disappear completely? All of them were killed? Obviously not, there was no trace of battle in his village, which shows that the shepherds were not killed, but prepared and planned to leave.

Then there is only one possibility left.

All of them are infected and have become distorted beings.

This is the only explanation, but one that is so heavy that the long ears dare not think about it.

Leaving the cave of the overboard, for a moment Sarandor Vera did not know where to go to continue the investigation. She wasn't a local after all, and the forest where the shepherds lived, according to elven tradition, the other elves wouldn't conduct large-scale investigations in it, which meant that even if one of the locals of Isamdo was called, they wouldn't know more than Sarandor Vera.

If all the shepherds in the Breeze Forest were infected, where did they go, and what were they going to do?

The air of the forest was still filled with a faint disgusting evil aura, but because of the existence of the Seed of Life, a clean area appeared around everyone. I have to say that although the seed of life is a "by-product" of the tree of life, there are still many wonders. At least Tang Dou, who has the source of life, can't do this kind of thing that constantly releases life energy to protect everyone, and he is hardly damaged or consumed.

"Brother Tang, what should we do next?" Sha Yunyue asked in a low voice. She knew that Sarandor Vera also wanted to ask, but she just couldn't pull it off.

"How about a torch burning here?" Tang Dou began to dig things out: an improved high-attachment solidification incendiary bomb, and an improved high-explosive and high-burn C4. In just one sentence, this bomb maniac has already pulled out enough to blow up and burn down thousands of kilometers around.

It can be seen that Tang Dou's discipline is indeed not much, and secondly, his research on applying space compression technology to his portable equipment has achieved great success, and now this guy is really a mobile arsenal.

The elves blackened their faces in unison. This group of elves are all Vera's personal guards, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are private soldiers, they are all the elite of the Vera family, and they have been following Sarandor Vera, and when they fought against the Evil Dragon Kingdom, they also participated in the whole process, so they naturally knew what kind of movement Tang Dou would make when he took out those things.

"Brother Tang!" the elf beauty snorted, and finally picked up Tang's slut's temperament.

"Although it sounds exaggerated, this is really the best way!" Tang Dou pursed his lips and put back the arms: "Now we can't find those shepherds at all, find a group of shepherds in the forest who want to avoid us, do you think this is possible? Didn't you notice that we had gone all the way, not to mention the shepherds, not even the animals, not even a single bug!"

Of course, Sarandor Vera didn't find out, but he had been distracted by other things, and he didn't think of that aspect for a while, but now he was reminded by Tang Douyi, and his face immediately changed: "Nicholas, what do you mean?"

"Quite simply, although the evil spirit here only makes us feel uncomfortable, or the mood becomes more irritable and dull, and it is not contagious for a short time, but the effect on the animals has already begun to take effect. So all the movable things here have all run away, so the next step is that the plants that can't run away here are slowly corrupted and infected, and eventually become the source of countless new evil qi, and finally infect those animals. If you really get to that point, there will be absolutely no salvation here!"

Sarandor Vera frowned: "There's no other way? really want to burn this place?

"There's a way, but it's going to kill people. And I won't be free!" Tang Dou made a face.

Sarandor Vera was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, no matter what the price, I will pay!"

"Hey, hey, you're too full of this now!" Tang Dou shrugged: "But for the sake of everyone's acquaintances, I'll give you a twenty-percent discount this time!

In the dead of night, there is no moon and no stars, the night breeze caresses slightly, and the earth is silent.

Shepherd's Village.

After returning from the cave in the water, Tang Dou and his party returned to the Shepherd's Village, preparing to rest for another night before returning to Eshamdo. It was obviously impossible to find a group of shepherds in a vast forest who wanted to hide, so the search ended here.

At least that's what was announced.

In the village of the shepherd, Tang Dou tossed around the village for a while, this guy kept saying that he wanted to understand the way of life of the shepherd, but he demolished a house in the east and a wall in the west, which soon made the elves dissatisfied. Sarandor Vera advised several times, but to no avail, and as a result, the two sides broke up unhappily.

At this embarrassing and fatal time, Tang Dou simply rested separately from the elves in the village, and the two sides were seven or eight hundred meters apart, each occupying one end of the village.

In the middle of the night, the bonfire on Tang Dou's side had been completely extinguished, and only the occasional pale red glimmer from Koharuko's body flashed in the middle of the night. On the elves' side, the bonfire was still there, and the elves who kept vigil were highly vigilant and did not dare to relax for a moment.

The cool wind blew, and a faint black mist began to condense, silently enveloping the entire village. Although there are few people on Tang Dou's side, the strength is strong, and those black fogs seem to be fearful and do not approach, but although there are many people on the elf side, they are only tea skills, and they have been surrounded by black fog.

If you look at it from above, you will see that the whole village is divided in two. Everything was as usual on the side where Tang Dou was, only the faint black mist that had always existed drifted back and forth in the breeze, but on the side of Sarandor Vera, layers of black mist overlapped, forming concentric rings layer after layer, enveloping all the elves.

The whole process, there was no sound, even the night elves who were the most sensitive to the natural breath did not find anything wrong, from their sight, everything around them was normal, but they didn't know at all, then a few meters away from their camp, it was already an environment where they couldn't reach out their fingers.

Everything, like a dream, like a nightmare.

Woo!

There was a sudden low humming sound, and the seed of life that had been kept by Aura suddenly burst into a green light, and the green light quickly spread out in all directions, crashing into the black mist, emitting a sharp whistling.

The elves all came to their senses, and the night watch elves were only then freed from the illusion, and the scene before them changed instantly.

"Enemy attack!"

As soon as the Night Watch Elf spoke, he was put to the ground by an arrow enveloped in black mist—although he avoided the vital point, the arrow impregnated with evil energy possessed extremely powerful and evil power, and it was only a little bit of skin that a silver warrior fell.
