Chapter 297: The Power of the Sea, You Thieves!!
The owner of the voice that suddenly appeared was an epic powerhouse that had not been seen for a long time - Erin. Apocalis.
At this time, this charming elf, who even had a very seductive voice, was sitting on the treetops of the big tree, shaking two plump and white thighs hidden under the robes, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Looking at the appearance of radiant energy, with strange mana fluctuations rippling all over his body, it seems that his strength should have been fully recovered.
"Your Excellency Erin, long time no see."
Erin smiled, looking quite happy, and jumped down from the tree with her hands slightly propped up, her body as light as a leaf, and the hem of her skirt fluttered with the breeze to reveal a large snow-white patch.
She calmly smoothed the folds of her robe, showing the grace of an elf, and walked slowly to the front and smiled.
"Long time no see, little human guy who helped me get out of trouble, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ji Chen smiled and said, "Maybe this is the so-called fate."
Erin also pursed her lips and laughed, in such a vast world, if you don't deliberately look for it, you can meet again, it is indeed the word fate.
"Perhaps, but why are you here? It's not close to your territory."
Ji Chen briefly talked about Reinhardt's war with the Kingdom of Bath, and the abnormal behavior of the sea beast.
Erin then realized, "I see, most of the sea beast tide seat is gathering here, it's normal for you to notice that something is wrong."
Ji Chen nodded, and asked in a curious tone, "Then Your Excellency Erin, have you seen the big guy outside, it should be the culprit that caused this sea beast tide, since it drove the sea beast group to gather outside, do you want to get these liquids?"
"After all, I can feel that these liquids contain an extremely vast amount of life force, and I may be able to make it even stronger."
Erin smiled and shook her head, her eyes suddenly becoming deep and mysterious: "That little thing doesn't know that there is water of life here, what it wants is something that can control the ocean."
"Take control of the oceans?"
Erin's expression became solemn, she looked deeper into this ice field, and said slowly, "It is a artifact left behind by a powerful god, which contains a certain amount of ocean power, and can use the vast power of the ocean to control a trace of extremely terrifying power."
Ji Chen's expression also changed slightly.
Gods, the most powerful and noble beings that exist in this world.
Anything that has a relationship with the gods seems to be enough to make people eager and contentious.
And this artifact actually contains the power of the ocean, and can use a trace of power to use the power of the ocean?
Isn't that somewhat similar to his lord's talent, the favor of the sea, and his power to control water and sea?
Erin also seemed to think of this, and looked back at Ji Chen in a daze, as if there was a sudden realization in her eyes.
"So everything has its way..."
Ji Chen asked puzzledly, "Your Excellency Erin, what are you talking about?"
Erin shook her head, put away her deep eyes, and smiled.
"This great tree is called the Tree of Life, and it is a treasure of our elves, and it is very useful. And these liquids are the eaux-de-vie, which have miraculous properties."
Ji Chen nodded suddenly, it turned out that this tree was a treasure of the elves, no wonder Erin would appear here, but it could still bloom vigorously in the barren ice field, and its name was very consistent.
"And what do these waters of life do?"
Erin stretched out a few fingers and said, "The effects of the water of life are too many, healing injuries, increasing strength, precious alchemy materials, improving the breeding ability of elves, and improving bloodline."
"Even if a little finger has been diluted several times, the water of life contained in it is enough to heal the dying person, but there is enough water of water for a wine jug here, and it seems that it is because of the long-term isolation of this place that it can accumulate so much without nutrients."
Ji Chen's eyes lit up.
So powerful?
If you have some with you, wouldn't it be a life-saving artifact?
Hurriedly asked.
"And what kind of utensils do you need to keep these eaux-de-vie?"
Erin pursed her lips and said, "It's simple, just use utensils made of elven wood planted by elven druids."
Ji Chen frowned, where did he get any elf wood.
He quickly looked at Erin, "Since you're all here, you should have it on you, right?"
Erin turned white as if she were angry, "You're really welcome, this tree of life is also our elf's thing, why don't you ask me if I'm willing to give it to you first?"
Ji Chen pouted.
"When you left the Crown of the Ocean earlier, you said that you would return to the Elven Empire to support the Crown of the Sea, but now there is not even a shadow, and I personally went to the Principality of Maple Grove to contact the elves there to reach business cooperation."
"If I'm right, you shouldn't have even gone back to the Elven Empire, you're just playing outside, right?"
Erin, who was ruthlessly exposed, suddenly became a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly, "I didn't, I just stopped by to play..."
Ji Chen took advantage of the victory to pursue, covering his heart, with a sad look.
"Your Excellency Tomodo came to me on his own initiative after he finished his work, and faithfully fulfilled his contract, even staying in the crown of the ocean to help build the workshop and impart knowledge, but what about you? After leaving, there was no news, which is really chilling."
"That's not what I know, an elf with a noble character should do!"
Erin was even more embarrassed by this, but she was an elf who had lived for thousands of years, her face was thicker than the city wall, her face remained unchanged, but she flipped her palm, took out a wooden bottle with a faint wood fragrance like magic, handed it over, and coughed lightly.
"These waters of life will be used as a gift for us to meet, but I will take this tree of life with me, and I can't give it to you."
"Of course, I can't take such a big tree with me."
As Ji Chen spoke, he took the wooden bottle, with a smile on his face, raised his hand slightly, and a wisp of mana was released, and the puddle of pale golden water of life was all packed into the bottle, and there was not a drop left.
Looking at the wooden bottle in his hand, a look of satisfaction flashed on his face.
Rao is loaded with a wooden bottle, and you can still feel the breath of life that makes people excited just by smelling it.
Well, this trip has finally gained a considerable enough harvest.
Ji Chen put the wooden bottle into his backpack and calmed down.
Walk up to Erin's side.
"You're here to take this tree of life with you?"
Erin nodded, looked at the big trees in front of her that were still lush under the cold wind, and said with a little emotion.
"The elves once possessed hundreds of trees of life, and we were extremely prosperous at that time, but now there are only a few left, and the bloodlines are thinning and the power is declining,"
"I doubt that the elves will survive in the face of the darkness and terror that will inevitably come in the future..."
He was a little puzzled, the elves are one of the most prosperous races in this world,
The Elven Empire and the Silver Moon Dynasty are one of the most powerful countries, with strong men and tens of millions of soldiers, and what enemy can threaten them?
Ji Chen shook his head, and then as if he remembered something, he said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Erin, there are two Bass Kingdom fleets that have also entered this ice field, and they may be coming against the Tree of Life and the Water of Life."
"Even if they want to get what you said, the divine artifact located in the depths of the ice field, those black monsters may not be able to drag on for long."
Let Erin, an epic powerhouse, make a move, and these two Bath Kingdom fleets will be properly handed over here, which will also save him more thought and effort.
Moreover, if there is Erin's help in the rest of the journey, then wouldn't the divine artifact containing the power of the sea also be in his hands?
Ji Chen's face did not change and he encouraged: "These little deflated people dare to covet your elven things, it is really hateful, this is too high and low to teach them a lesson."
But Erin is an old fox who has lived for thousands of years after all, her brows furrowed slightly, and she quickly thought of this, the corners of her mouth hooked up a touch of cunning, and her skin and flesh did not smile.
"It's up to you to take care of them, and I'll leave as soon as I take the Tree of Life. If you want that artifact, take it with your own power."
After saying that, Erin drove the mana to cast some kind of elven secret technique, and the majestic golden mana wrapped the tree of life dozens of meters high, pulled it out of the grass, and hung it in the air.
Erin's expression was solemn, her hands were sealed, and Noda's tree of life quickly shrank until it became the size of a skull.
The tree of life, which has shrunk countless times, is like a miniature model, dripping and floating in the hand.
Then, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Erin carved a one-person-high eye-like void tunnel with her bare hands, and walked in calmly, the crack disappeared in one fell swoop, leaving only a messy crowd in the cold wind.
Ji Chen: ...
I don't know when the gunfire has stopped, and the ship has watched all the strange ghosts rushing towards it be shattered, and Doru, who has left the wreckage in vain, also breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to this side.
However, when he turned his gaze to this side, he couldn't help but froze.
The green trees that used to stand on the meadow were gone, leaving only a huge pit in the meadow.
What about a tree of life his size?
Why is it gone in a blink of an eye!?
When Doru saw Ji Chen, his eyes immediately turned red.
What's special is that this person has dug up his tree of life and snatched what belongs to him!!
This thief is the one who used to entangle the propeller with water weeds, and wants to find this place before they do, and take the Tree of Life and the Water of Life for himself!
What a damn you!
Doru trembled with rage, and his voice became hoarse with rage.
"All artillery aimed at the enemy! Blow him up!!"
At the same time, Ji Chen also saw that the Bath Kingdom fleet had noticed them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Damn, if you dare to love me, you're the backstabber, right?
Seeing that the battleship and artillery had begun to turn to them, Ji Chen knew that he could not resist the artillery bombardment, so he immediately began to retreat with Gerardo and the Naga Praetorian Guard.
"Quickly retreat below the ice!"
No sooner had they left than a burst of artillery fire blew the grass upside down, raining cannonballs with a violent screech falling from the sky, blasting fire and shattering ice like a rolling lawn mower, slowly driving behind them, shattering the ice and towering icebergs.
Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the thick ice crumbled and cracked one by one, revealing the sea below.
Ji Mian did not change color, and as soon as his mind moved, pieces of sea water were pumped out, and quickly condensed into a huge water curtain more than ten meters high and dozens of meters wide in front of him, like a city wall blocking a large number of incoming artillery fire.
Raindrops of artillery fire exploded on the water curtain, splashing in all directions without the slightest sign of breaking.
Dozens of seconds later, the water curtain was scattered to the ground, but there was no Ji Chen and them behind them, only a large hole in the ice, which seemed to be laughing at their incompetence.
Doru slammed his fist into the table, his face contorted, his back molars nearly crushed.
Damn, let these thieves run away!!
Right under their noses!!
The fraudster beside him looked at the gaping hole, and his tone was as gloomy as water.
「... They should also be coming for the divine treasures, as long as we find the divine treasures first, we can wait for the rabbits, take back the tree of life and the water of life, and catch them."
"Then I will torture their bodies and souls with the most brutal torture, so that they will be worse off than dead."
Doru is like a pull
The bellows took a few deep breaths and forcibly calmed themselves down.
His eyes were still blood-red, and his words were filled with a volcanic eruption.
"Head deep into the ice field and continue your search for divine treasures."
"Once you encounter a suspicious enemy, cover it directly with saturated artillery fire, and don't skimp on shells."
"I'm going to let those thieves die here!"
"Yes!"
...
Behind an iceberg three kilometers away from the meadow.
Ji Chen watched the Bath Kingdom fleet slowly sail between the ice floe and the glacier, the corners of his mouth raised a touch of arc, and he was in a happy mood
I'm afraid the commanders of these two fleets are going to blow up, right? Letting him disappear under their noses is a slap in the face.
"My lord, shall we continue to entangle their propellers with waterweeds?"
Ben Bo Erba suggested with a sinister face.
Ji Chen shook his head, "This tactic can only work once, we used it once before, they must be vigilant now, and there will definitely be meaningless losses if they use it again."
"What we have to do now is to find the divine artifacts first, otherwise it will be useless for us to sink these two Bass Kingdom fleets here, but there is still an extremely powerful sea beast and tens of thousands of ordinary sea beasts guarding outside, we can't leave without getting rid of them."
He pondered for a moment.
"The Dragonblood Legion returned to the ice and fanned out to search, while the rest of the Legion searched the ice and reported back immediately if they found any clues."
"Yes!"
