Even though I don't know how long has passed since that divine war, what is left behind still affects this sea of ice all the time.

Not only is it the negative energy generated by the death of countless believers, but the remnants of the power left behind by the gods are also haunting this secret realm that once served as an ancient battlefield.

The tall icebergs and the glaciers that stretch for thousands of miles are the best proof of this.

Ji Chen and the others walked between the icebergs, carefully avoiding the ice that froze the believers.

Suddenly, he felt a strange fluctuation, as conspicuous as a hot spring suddenly emitting heat in the cold ice field that stretched for thousands of miles, and people couldn't help but want to get closer to get warm.

The direction is north, the distance is about seventeen or eighteen kilometers.

Ji Chen quickly determined the general direction, and without much hesitation, he immediately led the Ocean Champion Team towards it quickly.

No matter what existed there, he felt it was necessary to take a look, this was the ancient battlefield of the Divine War, and it was a land where some ancient treasures might be buried.

These things that can resist the erosion of time and survive are bound to be extraordinary.

Dozens of minutes later, they stopped about a kilometer away from the place, because there was no way out of the way because of the countless ice in front of them.

Looking up at the thick layer of ice overhead, Ji Chen said in a deep voice.

"Blow the ice up there."

The long-range firepower leaders of the Ocean Champions team, the Silver Sea Elves and the Dragon Horn Catfish, suddenly erupted into strong spell fluctuations, and hundreds of spell arrows and red lightning balls slammed into the ice that had covered thousands of years from the water like meteors flying backwards.

Winter –

With the violent swelling of the sea water and the dull sound of concussions, the ice layer several meters thick exploded upward, and the broken ice and seawater were washed into the sky.

A hole tens of meters wide suddenly appeared in the thick ice.

Under the command of Ji Chen, the Ocean Champion Team passed through the hole in an orderly manner and all landed on the ice.

Look around.

The place where they were was was an ice field, and steep icebergs stood on the ice like a sword inserted into the ice, exuding a breathtaking aura.

Ji Chen took a look, and saw a meadow full of life on the north side, covered with flowers, with a towering tree growing in the middle of the meadow, and the lush green canopy almost covered half of the meadow, like a semicircular shield sheltering the entire meadow.

The cold wind that swept across the ice field howled, but it could not shake the tree in the slightest, only let it shake the treetops.

On this large tree, which is tens of meters high, a drop of golden liquid slowly flows out of the hole of the tree, forming a small puddle only twenty centimeters wide at the intersection of the roots.

Anyone can easily feel that these liquids are full of majestic vitality like an ocean, as if any one sip of the agar spiritual liquid is enough to live forever.

The crowd also noticed that there was a humanoid crystal skeleton leaning on the other side of the tree.

This lush green meadow stands in stark contrast to the pale, lifeless ice fields that surround it.

Ji Chen looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his heart.

In such an ancient battlefield full of death and corpses, such an incompatible place of life appeared.

At this time, he had many questions in his mind.

How did this tree survive in the ice field?

What are those golden liquids?

Who is the owner of that crystal skeleton?

Just as his mind was full of thoughts, the roar of artillery fire sounded in the direction of their right.

An iceberg that had been standing for an unknown amount of time was bombarded by a large number of artillery fire, turning into a cloud of broken ice, and even the ice below was shattered, revealing sea water mixed with ice floes.

One by one, the steel warships smashed through the shattered ice floe, and the guns on the deck spat out tongues of fire, shattering the ice blocking them, and plowing out a navigable channel.

Ji Chen frowned slightly, the fleet of the Bath Kingdom actually entered here in time, which was a bit difficult to do.

But he looked at the meadow, and at the fleet that was unscrupulously opening the way with artillery fire, and a smile appeared on his face.

In this case, let them explore the path first, draw out all the possible dangers, and step on all the possible thunders first.

He didn't think there was any danger in this ancient battlefield.

"All return to the ice and wait for orders!"

"Yes!"

The Champions of the Seas once again dived into the sea through the previously opened hole, clinging to the ice like ghosts, waiting for orders.

...

"Give me full firepower and clear a navigable road!"

Doru shouted loudly, his words full of aristocratic might, and nodded with satisfaction as he watched the ice shatter as the cannon fire fell one after another.

Whether it's the enemy or the ice that gets in the way, they will be ruthlessly defeated in their way!

But then, Doru looked at the surrounding ice fields, which had nothing but icebergs, glaciers, frozen corpses, and frowned deeply.

Asked sideways.

"Where's what you want?"

The fraudster shook his head, his cloudy eyes under the mask a little dazed, "It's our first time here, and we don't know where it is, but according to the clues that have been handed down, that thing is hidden in this ice field. ”

Damn, this ice field doesn't know how big it is, how is he going to find this thing!

These masked rats don't even say their names!

"And what about the divine treasures we want?"

The fraudster smiled, "As long as you help us find that thing, then of course we can help you find the divine treasure." ”

Doru couldn't help but curse in his heart, this damn old fox!

"Report the report! There's a big tree ahead! ”

Hearing the words, Doru, who was angry in his head, suddenly scolded angrily, "Are you kidding me? How can there be trees on the ice field, is your head blown stupidly by the cold wind? ”

The observer said with an aggrieved face: "But I really saw a tree, not far ahead. ”

Doru pushed him away in frustration, and put his eyes on the telescope to himself.

"I'm going to see if you're blind, or if I..."

Doru was stunned, for in the telescope's line of sight, a lush tree stood between the iceberg and the glacier, and how conspicuous it and the verdant meadows beneath it stood out against a pale ice field.

The fraudster's excited voice rang out, "That's what we need for this trip—the Elven Tree of Life, and the water of life it produces!" ”

Doru was stunned for a moment, "Why is there a Tree of Life here?" ”

Why is there such an extremely precious thing in this broken place?

It is rumored that in ancient times, every time the ancestors of the elves opened up a piece of land, they would plant a tree of life on it to improve the soil and the surrounding environment, and the tree of life would also produce a precious liquid called the water of life, which could not only increase strength, heal terminal injuries, and even improve the ability of elves to breed

Of course, its biggest and most famous effect is to improve the bloodline.

This is like a gift from the gods to the elves, the water of life has the ability to purify the bloodline, the ancient elves rely on the gift of this god, and constantly purify their own elven blood through the water of life, so that it is forever pure, through the high concentration of blood, so they also maintain a combat power far beyond other races.

However, it may have been the departure of the gods that left the elves without shelter, and the trees of life that had been thriving withered and withered one by one.

Until this era, there was only one tree of life left in the most core land of the elven realm, but how could one satisfy such a large number of elves?

Without the sufficient output of water of life, the blood of the elves has slowly diluted with the generations of elves, and many elven secret techniques that rely on the blood can no longer be used.

And how not to surprise him that there was such a tree of life here.

The deceiter looked at the endless ice fields around him, and his voice was still hoarse, "This is an ancient battlefield of divine warfare, and the elves who believe in the elven mother goddess were the first to occupy this land and plant the tree of life

And the orcs who believe in the barbarian gods, instigated by the gods they believe in, have attacked the place, intending to take it for themselves

And the humans, who were allies of the elves at the time, also participated in the battle. ”

"In the end, the elves paid a great price to defend this place, but they were unable to support the land, so under the guidance of the elven mother goddess, they destroyed the tree of life before leaving."

Speaking of this, the fraudster laughed gloomily, "They didn't expect this tree of life to be so tenacious, absorbing the remnants of the life essence of many dead believers, and surviving to this day..."

Doru suddenly realized, "So, even the elves don't know that there is still a tree of life here?" ”

"Of course, if they knew, they would have ...... it at all costs."

Hearing this, Doru's eyes changed, and his heart became hot.

Although this elven tree of life does not give them great power right away, they can use it as a condition to involve the elves in this war, and threaten them to destroy the three kingdoms of Reinhardt, Terry, and Peran.

And for the sake of this tree of life, which is likely to be the only one left, the elves will definitely agree 100%.

This is a major matter related to the purification of their blood!

That's right, this tree of life is the so-called "Divine Treasure", the "Divine Treasure" that can help them turn the situation around!

Doru was eager to take it away now, and negotiate terms with the elves right away. ”

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he couldn't wait to say.

"The 1st Marine of the Third Fleet landed on the ice and dug up the tree of life for me, this is the key to turning the tide of the war!"

"Wait." The fraudster stood in front of Doru, a hint of annoyance in his cloudy eyes, "This is what belongs to us, not what belongs to you. ”

Seeing that such a artifact could be obtained immediately, how could Doru stop, and he was already tired of this "faceling" who always wore a mask.

"Someone, put him in a prison cell."

"Hmph, it's up to you?"

Just as the two sides were about to tear their faces and fight, a creepy scream came from the depths of the ice field, and even the heavy hatch could not block the coldness contained in the sound.

Then, as if it were the first wolf howl in a pack, more screams rang out one after another, and the distance grew closer.

"Report, there are a large number of unidentified black monsters on the north side that are rapidly approaching ......"

Doru's face changed, and he grabbed the telescope and looked to the north, where a large black monster was running fast on the snow-white ice field, heading straight for the fleet.

These monsters are on all fours, their tough skin completely encased in their bones, their mouths fanged, their backs lined with three rows of hideous bone spurs, and their hands and feet with metal-like barbs.

And it is extremely similar to the human body structure, which makes them shudder a little.

"That's a strange ghost, probably a deformed thing that has evolved and multiplied from the believers who survived the war but didn't leave the believers trapped and died here in time."

"It should have been your previous bombardment that woke them up from their nests."

"You'd better get rid of them from a distance, or you soldiers won't have enough for them to eat."

Doru gave the fraudster a deep look, then gave the order without hesitation.

"All the artillery turned, each aimed at the enemy Alien, saturated fire strike."

"Don't skimp on firepower, keep these damn things out of a safe distance."

……

Listening to the movement outside again, Ji Chen drilled out of the hole slightly, observed the situation outside, and couldn't help but be happy when he saw the thousands of black monsters frantically attacking the Bath Kingdom fleet.

Good guys, is there really something similar to the Treasure Mimic Monster here?

Looking at the way the Bath Kingdom fleet tried to stop the monster from approaching with artillery fire, Ji Chen felt that if he didn't do the things that profited the fishermen at this time, he felt a little sorry that they were fighting so hard and fiercely.

"Gerardo has brought a hundred Naga Guards to follow me to explore the meadow, and the rest are waiting for me here, ready to respond."

Several heroes nodded one after another, seeing this, Ji Chen did not delay time.

With a wave of his hand, he landed again with the Naga Janissaries and Gerardo, relying on the cover of tall icebergs and heading towards the meadow, while the Bass Kingdom fleet was completely attracted by the rushing monsters, unaware that someone had passed under their noses.

A kilometer away was not there, and after more than ten minutes they came to the edge of the meadow, and at his signal, several Naga guards took the lead and did not suffer any attack, until they reached the treetops and were still unharmed.

Seeing this, Ji Chen walked in with confidence, stepped on the soft grass and came to the big tree, and looked at the spring of golden liquid.

Illuminated by a ray of sunlight piercing through the foliage, the liquid took on a striking brilliance, reflecting a color more dazzling than gold, like liquid amber.

The sweet smell lingers around you, making you feel like you can live longer even if you take a sip.

Looking at this liquid that could only fill a wine jug, Ji Chen's throat rolled, and he had a faint feeling in his heart.

If he had drunk the liquid, perhaps his strength would have grown in a tremendous way that was not inferior to the gifts of the gods before.

Hearing that the sound of artillery fire over there gradually showed signs of subsiding, Ji Chen no longer hesitated, and took out a crystal bottle to fill the liquid.

"Little one, if it were in an ordinary bottle, the eaux-de-vie would soon lose its efficacy."

A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, which caught Ji Chen, who was caught off guard, suddenly took a few steps back, and subconsciously put his hand on the Void Ring, flashing at any time.

But when he saw the familiar figure in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Lord Erin!?"
