Chapter 163: The Shoots of the World Tree

As soon as he saw this situation, Mu You knew that the mermaid must have woken up, and it seemed that this powerful creature still had a certain resistance to potions.

Mu You walked to the waterfall and took a look, the lake was deep and dark, and he couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

However, this backpack is an isolated space, and even if the mermaid swims to the edge of the river, it will be blocked by the air wall, so there is no need to worry about her running out.

Mu You went to find the canned bait, opened the lid and put it by the lake, sat on the grass and waited.

After a while, a small head crept out from under the water.

Mu You found that the little mermaid was still holding a half-eaten fish in her hand at this time, and the corners of her mouth were blurred by the flesh and blood stained with fish blood.

While chewing on the fish, the mermaid stared at Mu You vigilantly, and after confirming that he had no other movements, he slowly swam towards the shore.

When she came to the shore, she cautiously reached out and tentatively stretched out her hand towards the can of bait, and when she reached the can, she grabbed it at great speed and immediately turned back to the center of the lake.

However, this time she did not rush back to the bottom of the lake, but stayed on the surface of the lake, while continuing to be vigilant Mu You, she grabbed the bait with her hand and stuffed it into her mouth.

The corners of Mu You's eyes twitched, this little guy's heart is really big, the same thing has been drugged once, and he dares to eat it directly......

Shaking his head, Mu You said in Star Spirit Language: "You don't have to be afraid, I'll send you back in a few days......"

As he spoke, Mu You noticed that the mermaid's ears moved, obviously understanding, but there was no reaction on the surface.

"Also, don't touch such a thing when you see it in the sea in the future, this is the bait used by humans to catch fish, and the consequence of gluttony is that you will be caught like now."

Mu You didn't care whether she reacted or not, and said to himself: "That is, this time you met someone like me who has no ill will towards you, if you are caught by others, your fate will be miserable." ”

The mermaid's ears moved again, and her face changed unnaturally, although she still hid far away in the center of the lake and did not dare to approach, but the vigilance in her eyes seemed to be less.

Mu You is very pleased with this, although his personality is a little dull, he can finally understand people's words, which shows that IQ is normal and has the basis for communication.

He was just about to say something more, but suddenly the mermaid seemed to see something fearful, and his eating movements froze, and he hurriedly plunged into the lake and disappeared.

Mu You looked back, and it turned out that Coke jumped in from the entrance of the space.

As soon as Coke entered the door, he also found the mermaid for the first time, as if he had seen a novel prey, he rushed to the water's edge, and kept wandering around the lake with his tail in swing, showing off his might.

Finally, a new member came who could be bullied, and Cola was very nervous at this time, constantly patrolling around the water's edge, and the mermaid dared to come forward and immediately intimidated her and scared her back. This feeling of being frightened by its prey allowed it to regain its long-lost self-confidence.

Mu You didn't care about them when he saw this situation, at this time the time was close to zero o'clock, he cut the skin of the watchman, went out to take a turn, and completed the life task.

In the past two days, hire seahorses, teleportation arrays, and shop shopping...... The consumption of more than 10 years of lifespan in a row caused his lifespan to evaporate by seventy or eighty years in an instant, dropping to less than 430 points at present.

The excessively high consumption in the short term has finally made Mu You have a sense of saving money, and he must find a way to make up for his life as soon as possible in the game, and in reality, the three life tasks per day cannot be wasted.

After walking around and coming back, Mu You returned to the space and began to prepare the materials for making the life potion.

The mandrake was still playing with the unicorn in the distance, but when he turned his head, he happened to see Mu You walking towards them, still carrying the evil syringe in his hand, and suddenly shivered, as if he had felt the pain in his buttocks, and hurriedly turned around and fled, hiding far away and burying himself, the blades of grass above his head were still shivering.

Fortunately, Mu You's goal today is not it, but a unicorn.

The unicorn nested pitifully on the ground, watching the needle insert into his hind leg and pulling out a tube of silver blood, he shivered and did not dare to resist.

This is the first time Mu You has drawn blood from it, and the pain is not very painful, mainly because it is distorted by the scene of the mandrake crying every time, which makes it suffer from syringe phobia in advance.

[High-quality unicorn blood, which has the effect of recovering injuries, promoting biological growth, and increasing lifespan.] 】

Looking at the prompt feedback from the syringe in his hand, Mu You nodded with satisfaction, it is not a shame that he does his best to take care of the unicorn every day, and the blood produced is of high quality.

The main medicinal material needed for the life potion is actually the 'Fountain of Life', which he doesn't have, but the unicorn blood can be completely replaced, and it belongs to the upper material.

The next refining process was relatively smooth.

With Mu You's current refining strength, there is no difficulty in refining first-order potions, not to mention that he is still using high-level materials, and in addition, he has added a cup of drunken immortal brew as an auxiliary agent.

After more than 700 exercises, Mu You successfully completed the standard of 100 consecutive times without making mistakes, and at the same time, the first epic potion of his life was also announced.

[Life Potion (Epic): After taking it, it instantly restores 500 HP points, and effectively repairs dark diseases in the body, increases the lifespan by three years, and can also be used to water plants to provide abundant vitality for plants. 】

It can only be said that it is worthy of an epic potion, and this effect will definitely not be worse than an ordinary third-order potion!

……

The next day, when Lin Xue and Xiaoya came to work, they had already arrived at the Elven Forest in the game.

You have entered the realm of the Elven Forest. 】

[Here, you had better not destroy the trees and not use undead magic, otherwise you will be regarded as enemies by the treants and elves scattered throughout the forest.] 】

As soon as I arrived at the place, the game sent out such a reminder.

In fact, this reminder is still light, elves are a very xenophobic race, not to mention destroying trees, as long as outsiders step into their territory, they will be hostile or even driven away.

Fortunately, they are now entering the area under Xiaoya's jurisdiction, she is the administrator of this area, she has the final say in this place, Mu You and Lin Xue don't have to worry about being expelled.

After entering the forest, the trio quickly rendezvous in the game.

Xiaoya directly led the two to the center of her jurisdiction.

Of course, Xiao Ya is not the only one living in this forest, but an entire elf tribe lives.

Elves worship nature and are born with a long lifespan, resulting in their lives being more casual, without the concept of valuing time, and spending a lot of time every day on things that humans cannot understand, such as perceiving nature and listening to the murmuring of flowing water. As for the expulsion of foreign enemies and the healing of plants, they will do whatever they see when they see them, and the elves do not have a strict system of work and employment, and if it sounds good, it means enjoying nature, and if it is bad, it is lazy.

Therefore, players like Xiaoya, who are diligent and complete tasks on time every day and even take the initiative to complete the task, become priests, and sooner or later they will be killed......

[You follow the player 'Pea Breeder' into the Forest Priest's treehouse......]

The pea breeder is Xiaoya's game ID. Xiaoya first took them to visit her own treehouse, explaining how the treehouse is magical, and you can observe the dynamics of the whole area at any time like a monitor.

It's a pity that there is no description in the text on Mu You and Lin Xue's side, and these things are obviously only open to Xiao Ya herself.

Mu You arranged a dark teleportation array in her room, which was considered to have officially unlocked the 'teleportation point' of the Elven Forest.

Then the three of them went out, and Xiaoya took them to walk around the square in the center of the tribe. This is a rare open space in the forest, and elves who are short of money or need to trade goods will come here to set up stalls.

[You see an elf merchant with some items on the stall in front of him, but he doesn't seem to greet your enthusiasm, do you take the initiative to check it out?] 】

The merchants of the elf clan are really cold, everything is sold according to fate, they love to buy and buy but not buy and pull down, and there has never been such a concept that the customer is God.

[You walked up and checked the goods of the stall, and found elf biscuits, elf bread, infinite quivers, small elf cloth bags, jungle rings, red oak seeds, ......]

There are more than 20 items listed in the text, except for a few magical plant seeds, all of which are special products full of elven characteristics.

Mu You clicked on all the prop texts in turn, and finally let him find one that he was more interested in.

[Magic Bottle: A magic bottle made of special crystals, which can perfectly preserve the effects of potions and spring water, and pour a variety of potions in the bottle without affecting each other, and can perfectly separate a certain potion that has been poured into the bottle at any time. 】

A bottle used to store potions can store multiple potions at the same time, and they will not affect each other!

This thing is of little use to ordinary people, but it is very useful to Mu You, a potions master.

[You ask the price of the bottle, and the elf tells you that he doesn't need a lifespan, and you need to exchange something for something he can look at.] 】

Sure enough, the elves are not very interested in lifespan, and only support barter.

Mu You thought about it and found an 'experimental instrument box' in the game backpack.

This is one of the materials he deliberately left in the Star Spirit Realm yesterday, and the box contains a set of distillation devices, alcohol lamps, and a large number of test tubes, so that the potions that will be refined in reality in the future can be stored in the game at any time.

The principle is also very simple: mix the potion with pure water and a test tube, send it to the game, and then evaporate the water through a still. With the exception of a few special agents such as bursting agents that cannot be heated, most of them can be purified using this method.

But now that you have this magic bottle, you don't need such a troublesome operation, you can just use the magic bottle to transfer the potion.

These things are useless to him, Mu You left a part of the test tube charge for use, and the rest was given to the elf, try if he wants it.

[You give the elf a box of experimental equipment.] 】

[After the elf checked it, he was surprised by your generosity and agreed to exchange with you. 】

[You have obtained the 'Magic Bottle' and a 'Jungle Ring' as a gift from the elves.] 】

[Jungle Ring: After wearing, you will become dexterous when moving through the jungle, and your movement speed will be increased by 10%. 】

The elf man is very realistic, maybe he felt that he took advantage of a bunch of things, and gave him a nice prop instead.

Mu You was not polite, and immediately changed the ring to the character, and then used the magic bottle to transfer the 'life potion' into the game.

You have obtained a Life Potion (Epic). 】

With the potion, it's easy to do, and then you can go directly to the high priest named Riley.

Then Mu You followed Xiao Ya to the teleportation array where she came.

[You entered the backpack of the 'Pea Breeder'......]

[You left the Pea Breeder's backpack and appeared in the Emerald City, the main city of the Forest Elves.] 】

[In front of you, you will see a giant skyscraper comparable to a high mountain, and the branches and leaves above it will explode like a mushroom cloud, covering the entire city with a canopy that obscures the sky. 】

Mu You didn't expect that this Emerald City was actually built directly on a tree, and you can imagine how big the so-called 'World Tree' is.

[You were just about to enter the city, and two tree guards came running to stop you: Emerald City, outsiders stopped! 】

[You took out the letter from the fairy fairy and told you what you were trying to do. 】

[After the Treant Guard saw it, he let you go and offered to take you to the location of the High Priest of the Forest, do you want to follow?] 】

[You choose to follow the Treant Guard, step on the natural World Tree, and somewhere at the root of the tree, step on one of the prepared treering platforms. 】

[The platform slowly rises along the trunk of the tree, and it is expected to arrive at the ...... in half an hour]

The High Priest seemed to live at the top of the World Tree, but fortunately, the World Tree was equipped with an 'elevator', so he didn't have to climb it up layer by layer.

After honestly waiting for half an hour, I finally arrived at the place.

You enter the room of the elven high priest Riley Piper. 】

Riley reads the letter you sent, confirms your identity, and takes out some inventory of World Tree leaves for you. 】

[You have obtained 'World Tree Leaves'*10.] 】

[World Tree Leaves: The leaves shed by the World Tree will gain +1 on all attributes after devouring, and permanently increase HP by 1000 points. 】

World Tree leaves are extremely valuable high-grade potion materials, and have many other effects, such as increasing attributes and restraining the undead.

To be honest, these ten leaves are directly swept away, and the value will definitely not be lower than the reward given by the fairy fairy. But if you really do this, it will be equivalent to fighting with the elves, and the elf horn will no longer be used in the future, and the gains will obviously outweigh the losses.

[You take the task materials, but you don't leave in a hurry, Riley sees that you seem to have something to say, and asks what you want.] 】

Mu You clicked on the panel and pointed out the 'life potion' that had been encapsulated just now.

You gave the Life Potion (Epic) as a gift to Riley. 】

Riley is surprised to accept your potion, which is indeed what she needs, and asks what you want, as long as it is not too much for her to say yes.] 】

Here it comes!

The elves are really very arrogant, they won't take advantage of others casually, and they can get a gift in return if they give a gift.

In the text box that popped up, Mu You typed in 'World Tree Seed'.

[You offer to have a 'World Tree Seed'. 】

Riley flatly rejected your request! Each seed of the World Tree is precious and abnormal, it is the foundation of the Forest Spirit, and it has the potential to grow back into the World Tree, and it is something that must not be passed on. 】

[As compensation, Riley gives you a 'sprout of the World Tree'.] This is an extra sprout that grows after watering the polluted dead branches of the World Tree with your vial of Life Potion, with a faint World Tree scent. It can only be planted in the Elven Forest, and after a long period of cultivation, it may have a chance to grow into a tree of life that cannot bear fruit. Acceptable? 】

The other party didn't give a seed, but a sprout.

"The Tree of Life...... It should be considered a divine tree, right? ”

Mu You was a little unsure, from the World Tree to the Tree of Life, the force had decreased a lot, but at this time he had no choice but to accept it.

You have obtained the sprouts of the World Tree. 】

Mu You tried to take it out, but the result was that he 'contains the breath of life and cannot be extracted'.

It can't be taken out, and this thing has a restriction of 'it must be planted in the Elven Forest', and it seems that it can only be planted in Xiaoya's forest first.

But in this way, there is a big problem in the follow-up: the Elven Forest will not allow the tree to be cut down, if he really cultivates this tree at that time, how should he take it away?

Dizzy, a little less today
