Chapter 63: The Golden Ancient Tree

The Golden Tree is a term that was occasionally handed down from the jīng spirit clan during the ancient Warring States period.

What is strange is that when someone asks the jīng spirits about this term again, the jīng spirits avoid talking about it in vague ways, taking care of him left and right, etc., and if they ask too much, the jīng spirits will even leave quietly.

According to some great mages of the ancient Warring States period, the Golden Tree seems to be a tree species left behind when the Creation God opened the world.

Legend has it that every golden tree grows extremely slowly, growing one centimeter tall every hundred years and producing a new golden leaf every ten years – equivalent to the endless age of the golden tree, which is already a very fast growth rate. Moreover, the Golden Tree is different from other tree species in that it grows in the long gold - the golden tree absorbs gold from the soil through its intertwined roots and slowly transforms it into the body.

Therefore, the golden tree is made entirely of gold, and every inch of the trunk, every branch, and every leaf is pure gold. The golden tree also bears fruit, which is commonly referred to as the golden apple, and it is rumored that the golden tree blooms a flower every 1,000 years, and this flower does not bear fruit until 1,000 years later, and it takes another 3,000 years to mature.

There are also people who are exquisite, the golden fruit can be eaten, and those who eat the golden fruit will have the world, and there are also people who are exquisite, dragons can also eat the golden fruit, and the dragon who eats the golden fruit can surpass his own level. It is said that a golden fruit was kept in the treasure of an ancient royal family.

Of course, all this is hearsay, and all those who provided it did not leave their names.

"Don't shè him!" The Magister had already seen that this never-before-seen magic belonged to the most dangerous rebound xìng attack magic.

Magic can be divided into three types according to the mode of use, the common ones are defense magic and attack magic, defense magic is to increase the magic or physical damage of various genera to the caster, most of the defense magic can be released to others, there are also a small number of extremely strong defense magic can only be used by the caster himself; attack magic refers to the magic that attacks the enemy, from the moment it is released, there must be a designated enemy, if the magic effect is long, it can even attack multiple enemies。 The rebound xìng damage magic is extremely rare in ordinary magic, this kind of magic itself is in a stable state after being released, often levitating near the person who released it, and once someone attacks the caster, this magic immediately starts to fight back at the moment of protection. Ordinary attacks have a very short cast range, so archers like jīng spirit are often the mage's biggest enemies, but this is not the case with rebound magic, and the distance that the attacker can attack is the range of the reflection.

In the Demon Jīng Forest, according to the usual theory, it is impossible to perform any magic unless it is a mage with its own domain. And the young man in front of him (in the eyes of the jīng spirit magister, all of them are young new humans under the age of 80) could not be a mage in any way, how could he perform such a large-scale magic? Moreover, this kind of magic seems to contain the magic power of gold and stone, and the gold stone and fire system are precisely the most taboo magic genus xìng in the wood-based magic field of the demon jīng forest. The quick-thinking Magus felt a vague sense of unease in his heart.

It's a pity that the Magister still underestimated the reaction speed of his brothers, and at the moment he shouted, each jīng spirit fired at least two arrows at the enemy within shè range, and it can be seen from the direction of the arrows that the jīng spirits were still merciful, and the arrow feathers fell relatively low.

The dense rain of arrows suddenly shè into the long sword in the sky, countless long sword like a school of fish swimming slowly was suddenly alarmed by the falling boulder, and instantly rose to the sky, and then, the long sword suddenly scattered and rotated in the sky towards the archers who had just shè arrows, the golden red sword body emitted a fire-like light, and the bare bodies of the jīng spirits exposed outside the leather armor immediately burst out of blood, how can the flesh and blood body withstand the raging dance of the jīng spirit of the sword, and the wounds on some of the jīng spirit's arms can even see Bai Sensen's bone stubble。

Yi Hailan knew that Amy was a rare person with both magic and martial arts, and after seeing Amy chanting loudly, she immediately danced with all her strength to use the spear in her hand in the hope of blocking the arrow rain for Amy, but she didn't expect that the arrows that occasionally missed were easily bounced out by the two layers of magic protection, and the long swords formed by those magic jīng spirits actually showed such a surprising attack power.

The demon marshal has a new understanding of Amy, and at one point even stands motionless behind Amy in contemplation.

Amy saw that at least 60% of the jīng spirits had wounds on their hands and feet, while the rest of the jīng spirits were scrambling to dodge the dance of the flying sword, pulling Yi Hailan to chase after the mercenaries who had already run a considerable distance.

Seeing that the archers were seriously injured, the two jīng spirit masters were also quite shocked by the performance of the magician warrior just now, and immediately slowed down, and then ordered the huge trees in the forest in a sharper voice, but the mercenaries did not know what it meant.

The jīng spirits stopped, and the mercenaries did not feel relaxed, after all, this was the territory of the jīng spirits, and they suddenly gave up in the frenzied pursuit, maybe they summoned more partners through other means to pursue. And it sounds very similar from the voice made by the jīng spirit magician. The mercenaries' steps quickened.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for multiple squads of jīng spirit archers to appear in the forests surrounding the lake, among which the leading jīng spirit warriors and jīng spirit mages appeared.

The mercenaries didn't dare to stop and take a closer look at how many jīng spirits were coming, and ran south along the edge of the lake, and when they looked up again, they found that there was a small hill on the southwest side of the lake, and there seemed to be a building behind the hill. The mercenaries turned to the blue-and-green building.

Crossing the hill, the mercenaries were once again shocked by what they saw.

At the back of the hillside, surrounded by dense forests, there was an extremely thick golden tree - no one had ever seen a real golden tree before, and even among the mercenaries there were people who had never heard of the term, but everyone would immediately call out her original name if they looked at it: the golden tree - the trunk seemed to be made of gold, the main trunk was so thick that it took at least 5 people to close it, and the branches appeared to be strong and powerful, and each branch seemed to stretch upwards and outwards with all its might. The leaves of the trees are also glittering golden, fluttering with the breeze on the shore of the lake, shining in the sunlight and shining out in all directions.

At first glance, it seems that this extremely thick tree seems to support the sky and the earth.

In front of the Golden Tree was a structure resembling a human church, with tall spires and very tall walls, and on top of the Golden Tree, there was a brown and green wooden tower, which was close to one of the main trunks of the Golden Tree, and it seemed that all the power was pressed on the Golden Tree.

The jīng spirits obviously also knew that the humans had found the golden tree and the blue-green sè building and the tall wooden tower, and they were running towards it in the distance and shouting loudly, among them, some jīng spirits had a considerable study of human language, and they could be heard from such a distance: "Human mercenaries, don't get close to the golden tree, otherwise no one will be able to save you!"

The mercenaries looked at each other as they ran, they no longer had any confidence in the jīng spirit, and at this time, the jīng spirit said that the place where they could not go had to go to see it, and maybe they could escape.

The two captains ran towards the Golden Tree with their teammates.

Suddenly, there was also a jīng spirit team on the opposite side, and at the front of the team was still a jīng spirit at least a great magician or above, and sweat immediately appeared in the hands of the mercenaries, so in such a head-on conflict, except for strong people like Mu Cao and Yi Hailan, everyone else might not even be able to rush through 10 steps before they all fell under the rain of arrows.

The other party also saw the mercenaries rushing towards them, and all the archers quickly pulled out their arrow feathers from the quiver like lightning and snapped them on the short bow.

At a distance of 100 meters, facing the bow and arrow of the forest jīng spirit or the grassland jīng spirit, 99.99% of the results are only one: death. Even Phantom Beast Riders and Magisters can't escape this reality. Perhaps, only the dragon knight could have escaped. Almost every mercenary knew this, and even more so that the small group of jīng spirit archers in front of him was enough to bury more than 10 mercenaries 10 times.

"Rush over! Honor is in my heart, faith coexists with me!" After a pause, Ye Weicai raised his shield and rushed towards the jīng spirits.

"Honor is in my heart, faith coexists with me!" heard a familiar voice, and the eyes of several warriors who had been knights behind them immediately filled with tears and roared like crazy. White and Hunyang's shields had been discarded in the escape just now, as knights or trainee knights, in such a dangerous environment, they could not use the absence of a protective shield in their hands as an excuse, even if the inevitable result of rushing forward was to fall under the strong short bow, the two warriors brandished their long swords one left and one right and rushed forward behind the wild wisp.

Yi Hailan, who was finally broken, heard such a shout, her eyes were slightly wet, although no one gave Yi Hailan a knight canonization ceremony, as a member of the dragon knights, she was extremely familiar with what the knights said when they charged, especially when they charged in an extremely weak state. Most of the knights shouted their lifelong beliefs, dedicating their lives to their companions and their group. Those who are as steady as Yi Hailan can't help but feel the blood boiling all over their bodies.

"Brother Amy, after you break off, I will move forward. Yi Hailan made two big jumps in a row and landed behind Ye Weicai.

"Yella...... From!" There was an archer in the front jīng spirit who suddenly gave an order.

"Bang--sss

At a distance of about 100 meters, the speed of the jīng spirit bow and arrow reached in sync with the speed of the sound, and the long arrow shè at this speed would not be discernible even with the eyes of an eagle.

"Ahh

"Be careful!" Yi Hailan's silver spear conjured up an infinite shadow of gunfire, and volleyed a swift arrow feather into the air.

The first wave of arrow rain of the famous jīng spirit archers did not pose any threat to the mercenaries, but the other jīng spirits who were chasing after the mercenaries were almost caught by shè.

"Mercenary friends, don't do it, we're here for you. The archmage on the other side hurriedly shouted. The mercenaries who fled for their lives in a hurry did not pay close attention to Jīng Ling's words, and it was not until the Great Magician shouted a second time that they understood why there were no casualties just now. The dwarf's eyesight is also much better than that of humans, and the spirit monkey took a closer look, and said loudly to the other mercenaries: "It's the jīng spirit patriarch who rescued us, don't get me wrong." ”

The great magician named Qingming waved his hand to the mercenaries to hurry up, and the jīng spirit archers behind Qingming did not pause, and the arrow feathers of the green sè continued to go towards the pursuers in the distance.

The jīng spirits could not care about the long arrows of the human archers shè, but they did not dare to be careless about the people of their clan who suddenly became enemies, and several jīng spirits who had already entered the shè cheng fled from the shè cheng with rolling and crawling, and the two jīng spirit archers who were running slowly fell on the hillside with arrows on their bodies.

As the longest-lived race in the world, the jīng spirits have looked down on everything since they were children, and they originally had nothing to ask for, and they were indifferent to power, fame, wealth, etc., and there was never a quarrel between the same clan, let alone a direct knife and a gun or even a fight for their lives.

The arrow feathers falling in front of me are clearly from the same forest, and even the feathers of the tail of the arrow are all using the tail feathers of the same bird, and further away is the short bow of the same family, which can be seen from the angle of the arrow tip of the cold light and the emerald green sè...... All the pursuers stopped, and the jīng spirits looked at the elder helplessly one by one.

Elder Jīng Ling looked at his fallen compatriots and let out an angry cry - none of the mercenaries could understand the native language of Forest Jīng Spirit.

Qingming's face was solemn, and he replied loudly in mainland standard language: "I don't care what you think, jīng spirits must be tolerant, we don't want to hurt humans." We have to help them, even if more than 200 people in our village are forced to leave the demon jīng forest. ”

Most of them didn't expect that there were such ancient and warm-hearted friends in the demon jīng forest, and they didn't even think that the jīng spirits were really as kind as the legend, and they could give full help to the mercenaries who originally harbored evil intentions, and even did not hesitate to leave their hometowns. Looking at the old jīngling's wrinkled face, Ye Weicai involuntarily patted him on the shoulder like a brother.

The Great Magician of Qingming turned to the mercenaries and said, "Everyone, go quickly, go to the Golden Tree, and go up to that wooden tower, there is a large magic teleportation array inside, which can directly teleport everyone to the jīng spirit cave outside." After a pause, the jīng spirit magician said, "We are holding on here, you have to be fast, and we may not be able to hold on for long." Remember, that magic circle can only be used once, so go in both. ”

Amy shook her head slowly, her eyes a little hesitant: "I'll stay, I'll help." ”

Yi Hailan and several other knight-born mercenaries were just about to speak, but they were firmly denied by the jīng spirit magician: "You guys go quickly, even the jīng spirit king can't kill jīng spirit! Let's go!"

The anxious faces of the jīng spirits made the mercenaries speechless, and staying at this time for one more minute would bring more trouble to the kind friends, and the mercenaries strode towards the golden tree.

The jīng spirits in the distance seemed to be more anxious, and the jīng spirits in several directions jumped up in the hope of breaking through the arrow net of their compatriots, but unfortunately, each time they left a few companions who fell to the ground.

The nineteen mercenaries also ran extremely fast, the first was the spirit monkey pulling the magician, the back was the shadow man with the priest, and then there were many warriors, Amy and Yi Hailan, Ye Weicai, White, and Hunyang were at the end.

It was already extremely close to the golden tree, and during the run, you could even feel a heavy magic jīng spirit in the air, and every golden leaf reflected the noon sun, and the golden tree was bright under it.

Seeing the mercenaries getting closer and closer to the Golden Tree, hundreds of jīng spirits in the distance let out loud and sharp exclamations at the same time.

Amy was slightly stunned, and the syllables made by the jīng spirits were so familiar......
