Chapter 155: The Little Dryad (Part II)
During his conversation with the little dryad, Aaron discovered that he had no idea what was going on outside, that it had become an abandoned ancient city, or that it had happened to him.
And in the conversation, Aaron can already determine that this ancient city is Pong Mu City, and the little dryad is a pet of the daughter of the city lord here, and was later abandoned here because he lost interest.
Originally, there was water in this pool, but because no one came for a long time, it naturally evaporated, and some of it was absorbed by the little dryad itself, so it naturally dried up completely.
Although the little dryad looks weak and not strong at all, it has an extremely tenacious life force, and in the absence of water, it can instinctively put itself into a state of suspended animation.
In this state of suspended animation, it will close off almost all of its consumption and mobility, turning it into a piece of wood, and in this way, it can survive for an extremely long time in an environment without water sources.
Of course, during this period, it is closed to consciousness, completely unaware of the outside world, as if it has fallen into a deep sleep for a long time, and will not be awakened until there is a suitable environment.
Aaron didn't know how long the little dryad had lived, but it was certain that he had spent two or three thousand years in suspended animation, because the Crimson Land must have been formed for thousands of years until now.
And according to the little dryad's own description, it was already here when the city of Pam was still full of life and did not suffer a catastrophe, which means that it has survived for an extremely long time.
It is extremely rare for a species to have such a long lifespan. And Aaron's deepest impression is the evil dryad, which is a family of dryads. Because of the relationship between the race itself, it has a super long life.
Now it seems that the little dryad has something to do with the Dryad race.
According to the little treant himself, if it was too late and there was still no water source, it should never recover.
It can be said that he was lucky to meet Aaron this time, and the little dryad was saved because of this. After all, the state of suspended animation cannot last forever, there will definitely be a limit, once this limit is exceeded. It's really dead.
"Hey Aaron, what you said is true?
The little dryad was a little incredulous when he heard Aaron's description of the situation outside, and he didn't expect that he was actually in a state of suspended animation. It's been a long time.
In suspended animation. Being able to survive for such a long time, even the little dryad himself didn't expect it.
At first, it was naïve to think that at most a hundred or two hundred years had passed.
"Of course it's true, otherwise I, an outsider, would have come to such a place. Aaron swore an oath.
"When are you leaving, take me with you, I'll be in suspended animation again when the water is gone, I don't want to stay here anymore!"
Knowing that Pong Mu City has really been destroyed, and the environment outside is extremely harsh, it is impossible to survive at all. Naturally, the little dryad didn't want to stay in this place anymore and wanted to leave it.
Leave the Crimson Lands though. The little dryad would definitely not be able to do it on his own, so he could only pin his hopes on Aaron.
"It's okay to take you away, but you have to stay with me, you can't go anywhere else without my consent, and if you agree, I'll sign a contract with you. ”
Aaron's proposal was completely fine, but he had to agree to the corresponding conditions.
Aaron thought the little dryad was very interesting, like an ignorant child, and spoke to himself in a very casual tone, intending to keep it by his side, so that he could do some research on it, and second, to be a companion.
"Okay, you can just take me away. The little dryad agreed without even thinking about it.
It didn't know what a contract was, it just wanted to go, and it didn't think about anything else.
Seeing that it agreed, Aaron began to prepare for the contract, and then signed a contract with it that resembled a master-servant relationship.
And when the little dryad was in the contract, he was always very curious to ask questions, just like an innocent child, and he had to ask about anything new.
After the contract was completed, Aaron was ready to leave the underground and return to the surface, which had been searched and everything he could take into the ring, and there was nothing worth remembering.
Although the harvest in the treasure house this time is not large, it has figured out that this is Pang Mu City, which is also a good result.
Before leaving, Aaron found a suitable container in the vault, filled it with some water, and then asked the little dryad to jump inside, and then he hung the container on his waist.
Eventually, Aaron ran back to the vault on his right, ready to leave with him.
Seeing that Hemm was still sleeping like a dead pig, Aaron tried to wake it up, but there was no sign of waking him up.
So Aaron just picked it up and hung it on his shoulders and took it away.
"Hey, what is this black guy?" Seeing Aaron carrying Heim, the little dryad couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'll tell you later, but don't talk now. Aaron said lightly.
Soon, Aaron came to the bottom of the stone staircase, but when he was halfway up, a hint suddenly came from the chip.
"The living form is found to be in a row above, and there is a danger to the subject, please be vigilant ......"
"Could it be the Sand Scorpion Leader?"
Hearing the prompt, Aaron immediately stopped and wondered.
As far as Aaron knew so far, except for the Sand Dragon, only the Sand Scorpion Commander was in danger to him.
If it's a sand dragon, the chip can't be found, so it's mostly the sand scorpion leader who hovers on it, and if it's just an ordinary sand scorpion, the chip won't be prompted by danger.
And there is another point, with the size of an ordinary Tsardi Scorpion, it is completely possible to enter from the entrance, if it were them, they should have noticed the entrance a long time ago and ran down.
Only the leader of the Sand Emperor Scorpion, which was more than twice as large, could not come down.
However, these are just Aaron's speculations, and other possibilities cannot be ruled out, so it is necessary to confirm them for the sake of insurance.
Then, Aaron made a forge out of the Five Generations Seed, told it to go up to attract the attention of the dangerous creatures, and then found an opportunity to leave.
After about a few minutes, Aaron returned to the surface and managed to exit the main hall, heading towards the outer area of the castle.
Wandering in the hall was indeed the leader of the Ssardi Scorpion, and although Aaron was not afraid of it, he didn't want to clash with it, so he just let the forge lure it away, and then find an opportunity to leave quietly. (To be continued......)
