Volume 2 Xuancai Mountains 118: A Memory
The Dark Forest, under the Tree of Eternalism.
This is the first time that humans have come here to go so deep into this strange forest.
Legend has it that in the past it was a very beautiful place called the "Forest of Elves", and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a "fairyland on earth".
Once upon a time, every tree was inhabited by elves in charge of different elements, they were a kind of orcs, and the first proud sons of nature, but one day, a fire burned the elves' home to the ground, and sent this beautiful and fantastic race to extinction.
In the end, only the grievances of the elves remained, and people called it "plague" or "plague".
When healing herbs have not been discovered and healing miracles have not yet been studied, they will take tens of millions of human lives every year, and at the same time, more people will be devastated by the sequelae of recovery.
Even creatures other than humans, who are also beasts, cannot escape the persecution of these concepts.
In the face of "plague" and "war", humans and orcs are rarely equal, and they are both victims.
In the center of the dark forest is a hollowed out, a huge tree that grows overhanging, its roots extending into the cavity's infinity, branching into the surrounding layers of dirt.
It was as if a piece of land had been "uprooted" by some unimaginable force...... People who saw this scene were all so emotional.
The neatly arranged, disconnected suspended stone slabs supported by the spiritual power of the forest's atmosphere were the only way that would allow those of this line of abilities to reach the base of the Eternal Scar Tree, and at its end, a small, delicately decorated door in the trunk of the tree was connected.
Today, the weather was clear, and there was no fog around the World Tree, so people passed this last hurdle without incident.
They looked at the door full of disobedience, and couldn't help but think of the name of this towering giant tree in various documents, and also the name of "House of All Souls".
Could it be that there really is some kind of life living in it?
Knock, knock, knock, the leader of the power knocked on the small door on the trunk.
A crow in the trees, and the sound of a flock of birds flapping their wings exploded coldly in everyone's ears, startling them who were already nervous.
Squeak - the small door opened a gap, and a sight shot out of it.
It is said that there is no temperature in the eyes and eyes, but people feel a chill inexplicably.
They were greeted by a young man dressed as a missionary, dressed in ill-fitting black and white robes, holding in his left hand a thin bracelet adorned with a cross, and a small, pale five-petaled flower between his eyebrows, most of which was obscured by his thick light-colored hair.
The right side of his face was also blocked by the messy light hair, and it has to be said that this hairstyle is no longer fashionable in the human realm, but none of the people present dared to express this feeling.
On the other half of his face, which was not covered by hair, there was a cross-shaped tattoo that almost ran through this half of his cheek, from under the pale golden pale eyes to his jaw.
"Kao-sama must have known about our arrival, right?" Holy Cross - Visitors will inevitably think of this world organization when they see the special mark on the boy's face.
After these missionaries became monster hunters, they turned to be lackeys of the beasts?
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said in front of the "Flower Emperor's Messenger".
The boy who had come to greet him said nothing, silently opening the small door, which was large enough for one person to pass through at a time, and turned sideways to make way for visitors.
"Excuse me," one of the ...... Ables plucked up his courage and respectfully asked the young man they regarded as the "Flower Emperor's Emissary", "What shall we call you?" ”
However, they did not wait for the boy's answer to this question.
After everyone had entered the Forever Trace Tree, the boy closed the small door and nimbly made his way from the back of the crowd to the front of them, so that he could not only welcome the group as they arrived, but also be responsible for guiding them in the way.
"Why, this missionary-looking boy is a mute ...... Handicapped? Someone in the team whispered.
"It is rumored that the Beastmaster, who rarely shows up, is not friendly, but he will not leave a human who cannot make a voice in his 'castle', and even regard him as his messenger......"
None of them realized that after stepping into the Tree of Eternals, they had actually stepped into the "miracle" set up by the Other.
The Tree of Eternity was nothing more than a "stopover" for the group to enter the Beastmaster's castle, and in order to prevent other creatures from noticing the Beastmaster's retreat, his guardians and dependents had no choice but to do so.
The Beastmaster's castle, although it is also located in the dark forest, is by no means located near such an eye-catching landmark as the "Eternal Trace Tree".
"That's it, just a messenger, we can't forget the real purpose of this trip." The leader of the team of the Capable felt that he did not have to use his brain in the identity of the "Flower Emperor Emissary", and the answers to these questions may be very simple, he just couldn't think of it for a while, but sooner or later he could figure it out.
"We are here on the orders of the Emperor." He asked the young man who was leading the way, "I hope to get the opportunity to meet the Kao-sama and get his help, so that we can end the dispute with Adriel once and for all." ”
The boy was speechless all the way, and at the end, he led the capable man to the end of the corridor on the first floor of this gloomy castle made of various precious trees, and stopped there.
In the shadow of the drooping branches, the human saw a crowd of orcs huddled there, shouting in a language he didn't understand.
It was a group of Dryads, and there were a few Dryads mixed in with them—the new Orcs that the Dryads had become after they had been upgraded.
The leader of the Capable raised his hand and motioned for the members of the team who specialized in translation to step forward and relay to them what the dryads and dryads wanted to say.
However, he looked back, where did some companion come from?
Aside from himself and the human-looking missionary boy in front of him, there was no third human in the castle.
They were left in the "staging station".
Only he was allowed to enter the castle of the Beastmaster.
The orcs in his vision bared their teeth and walked towards him, and the leader drew his sword at his waist, and the free hand he used to protect the young man who was regarded as the "Flower Emperor's Emissary".
"A few dryads—"
In his education, the dryad was still in the status of "demon beast", but the dryad was already the lowest immortal beast.
Even with the power of the Kaslan'o, who have the blood of the orcs in their blood, they can fight against so many orcs on their own...... It's not a piece of cake, but he doesn't have to be left behind.
As for the young man who was guarded behind him, he coldly admired the fight in front of him, and still didn't say a word.
……
Fang Nuo fell into an unfamiliar space, and the ring in his hand accidentally fell and rolled out of a long distance.
He trapped a tracker, and his pride came to his senses, attracting a large number of companions from the trackers.
They were all his former relatives, but now he has unilaterally drawn a barrier.
In a desperate situation, Fang Nuo recalled what he had heard from the beast clan who had taken care of him before, and with a whim, he used the breath of the giant dragon that inhabited the Xuancai Mountain Range to open the entrance to the secret realm of Huangxian Mountain.
He didn't expect that the "entrance" was actually in the place where Elder Huang Xian forced him to go, it was completely a stroke of luck, and when it happened, even he himself was shocked.
Originally, if he didn't succeed, he planned to repeat his old trick and summon eyeball monsters to attract the attention of the Yellow Immortals.
As for how many Huang Xian will be injured by doing so...... Fang Nuo would not have considered such a thing.
His series of principles, such as "repaying kindness", are actually from his own point of view and make actions that satisfy him, and what other creatures will say about his behavior is not what he cares about.
In the process of falling into the secret realm, he vaguely "saw" some things that had happened in the Xuancai Mountains, and it could also be something that was "in progress".
It may be that the spiritual power in his body is still connected to somewhere in the mountains, so he will take advantage of his temporary loss of consciousness to stuff a certain memory into his mind.
It's as if his vision has been greatly improved, and a pair of his eyes have grown in the relatively "distant" dark forest.
To be honest, it's nice to have this kind of perspective, but it's a pity that this ability is uncontrollable, and he can't "see" what's going on somewhere as he wants.
Moreover, there are conditions for exercising this ability, just like "'creating things out of thin air' requires him to go through unfortunate things", "'perspective' requires his mental power to consume his mental power and damage his vision", "entering the 'blue light memory' requires him to succeed in sealing or taking the life of an being".
To see what is happening in the Dark Forest requires him to be hit by external forces and lose the ability to think for a short time, that is, the real eyes are temporarily useless.
It would be dangerous, so he couldn't make up for it.
"What did I just see?" Fang Nuo raised his hand and hugged his head, and suddenly found that his slender fingers in human form had changed back into the claws and flesh pads of the demon beast state, and his body was no longer cold, as if no number of clothes were enough, and the warm feeling poured into his heart again.
Did you change back?
The angle of view also became much lower.
But he never had the bad habit of "liking the new and hating the old" - because he had been a human for a short time, he was dissatisfied with his original appearance.
Instead, he sighed because of his shrinking size, thinking that he didn't have to worry about having nowhere to hide.
With his current size, he can find a low tree stack and drill it, and he can sleep well in it, and no yellow fairy will care.
However, there are also precautions to be taken.
Although when he returned to Huangxian Ridge, he saw that the group of former clansmen were busy searching for and driving away the intruding humans, it did not mean that they had given up on finding the "important thing" that had lost its whereabouts.
It's just that the Yellow Immortals are keen to track down the human beings they have transformed, and they haven't been able to see any clan relatives who still remember themselves who were "kidnapped" by the witch...... Fang Nuo was inevitably a little frustrated in his heart, and he couldn't tell why.
He has always disdained to be influenced by other beings.
"Isn't that just a response to my hunch?" The little beast sat down on the spot, purely using the secret realm valued by the Yellow Immortals as its hiding place and shelter, and was not in a hurry to go deep into it to explore the opportunity.
In his opinion, a place that has been patronized by a bunch of yellow immortals has long been worthless in adventure.
"If I ask them about my identity, I'll lose everything I have been......" he shook his head, "I've been worrying about this little thing, and even if it turns out, I shouldn't care so much about it." ”
He lifted a piece of turf from a secret ground and sketched it on the dirt with his fingertips, trying to fully recall what he had just "seen" through his abilities.
It was another incident that happened between two human kingdoms, and he thought that he had learned a lot about it by accident in the mountain village.
Right now, there is a country that sends envoys to get the help of the Beastmaster...... Is Kao really alive? He seems to have a relationship with the Holy Cross as well.
Fang Nuo raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and reminisced about the picture he had seen through the eyes of others.
He missed several opportunities to travel there, and like the provider of memories, it was the "first time" he had seen the "World Tree".
Humans are concerned about the furnishings, mechanisms, and roads around the giant trees, and he is attracted by the hundreds of species of birds that make their home in the World Tree.
Some of them are creatures that have not opened their minds, and there are also demon beasts that have been enlightened, living in the same home and living in harmony with each other.
