Chapter 17: Adventures in the Tree Cave

The griffon, which swooped down, actually stood still outside the door of the wooden house, as if this ordinary wooden house had some kind of magical power, so that it did not dare to offend easily.

But it was actually a simple wooden house, with a bed covered with hay and wooden barrels and bowls on the floor, and in Juan's opinion, it was not fundamentally different from the elven wooden house he had seen before.

"Whew~!"

The griffon snarled at Juan through the door, scribbling on broken steps, as if hesitating to rush in.

"Trace, didn't I tell you, keep your 'kitten' away, it will wake up the people if it roars like this." ”

"Yes, sister, I've told it to stay away. Maybe what's going on, why don't I go up and take a look? ”

"No, don't go, leave that 'big cat' alone, the ritual is at its last minute, and I need you." ”

For the purpose of talking to the elves, Juan had already opened the translation software and downloaded the elven language of the humanoids before entering the woods.

So he understood the elven conversation coming from the back of the cabin.

But there are elves hidden in such a small wooden house?

Bypassing the screen, Juan saw a man-wide hole in the wall attached to the trunk of the World Tree, from which the sound came from.

Juan looked inside, and it was very dim, and he couldn't see how wide or deep it was, and there seemed to be a glowing green light underneath.

Behind him, the griffon was still roaring in the doorway, as if it was losing patience.

"Sister, what do I need to do next?" ”

"It's simple, just jump into the pool." ”

"But I'm not old enough to have children. ”

"Tris, what I want you to do now is important to our Banrui family, to the tree elves, and to the World Tree!" ”

"But I'm still young! ”

"According to human algorithms, you are all leftovers!" ”

"But according to our custom, I'm not old enough to get pregnant!" ”

"I don't care so much. Trace, did you see what the demon did to us?

"He accused us of orchestrating the Elven riot for no reason, and forced us to hand over the masterminds behind the scenes.

"It's a no-brainer, but he doesn't listen to our justified arguments.

"In the end, the Elders had to sacrifice their lives to appease the demon's wrath.

"This time he was satisfied, but what about the next time? What about next time?

"There is no way to live like this anymore, we must move our clan and move as far away from that demon as possible."

"I know, sister, you're right, those humans are so hateful!

"But how can we migrate?

"Even if we Tree Elves can leave, the World Tree won't.

"And without the World Tree, we Dryads are no longer Dryads."

"So I called on all the tree elves, gathered everyone's spiritual strength, and started this ritual, and now, I only need you to walk into this pool......"

"Whew~!"

The griffon at the doorway reached in, retracted, and poked in again, as if to confirm something.

"Sister, I'll get pregnant that way, I don't want to get pregnant, I heard it hurts." ”

"No, it's not painful at all, it just makes you happy." ”

"Then sister, why can't you go down?" ”

"I'm the queen, I need to move with my whole clan, I have a lot to do, and having a big belly can make things very troublesome!" ”

"Then why don't you let the other elves in the clan go down, and let those adult elves who have had experience in childbirth get pregnant, isn't it more convenient?" ”

(Elf) "No! Tracey, it has to be the Ban Rui family! It's about our Banrui family's rule over the Dryads!

"We must not hand over such an important matter to other elves, so that other families have a reason to surpass us!"

"But what's the point of the Ban Rui family leaving the two of us......"

"No, Trace, I'm your sister, I love you and take care of you, will I hurt you?" ”

"Whew~!"

The griffon roared, squeezing its body into the doorframe, squeezing the doorframe into pieces with its thin wall panels.

In its red eyes, only the desire to kill and revenge remained.

Without hesitation, Juan burrowed into the hollow of the tree.

In the darkness he seemed to have stepped on the flesh of an elf, but he didn't hear anyone cry out in pain.

Juan, who had tripped over and staggered a few steps forward, suddenly felt empty under his feet.

He saw a near-circular pool, the liquid in which was green and glowing.

At the edge of the pond is a spiraling upward slope, clinging to the trunk of the tree, very narrow, and it seems that it should be a passage dug artificially in the hollow trunk of the tree.

These passages are now filled with elves, one by one, all with their eyes closed, presumably thinking about life.

A cool "whoosh" breeze passed by Juan, carrying a refreshing scent of herbs.

The mournful music in the barrage turned into a chorus, and the neatly arranged "chrysanthemum remnants" were mixed with a few incompatible exclamations of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold" and "ahhhh

Juan saw a dark green-haired elf on the edge of the rapidly growing pool, bringing another emerald green-haired elf who was slightly shorter than her to the poolside.

Then the "dark green hair" palmed the "emerald green hair" shoulder.

The "emerald green hair" suddenly squatted down, quickly grabbed the palm of the "dark green hair" sticking out of her shoulder, and threw the "dark green hair" into the pool that emitted a glowing green light.

"Plop, plop."

Almost following the "dark green hair", Juan smashed into the green pool with absolutely zero points in a diving competition.

The impact was enough to shatter Juan's internal organs, turning him into a pile of minced flesh in an instant.

But he didn't feel the pain.

An almost vast will washed over his mind, as if it wanted to completely whitewash and occupy his brain.

Juan can't think, he doesn't feel, and his self-perception is like a dandelion whirling in a storm.

However, this torrent of consciousness came and went quickly, like a soup scooped up in a colander with hundreds of thousands of holes, which was dispersed into hundreds of thousands of servings and dissipated into the vastness of the starry sky.

I don't know how much time passed, it was about ten minutes, after all, the brain chip was shown like this, and Juan came to his senses.

He saw that the liquid in the pool had disappeared, and he and a dark green-haired elf lay on top of each other at the bottom of the pool in a position that was inappropriate for children.

He's on it.
