Chapter 217: Trap?
In this way, under the leadership of the elven queen, they finally came to another clearing in all directions.
Unlike all the previous clearings, there was nothing in this clearing, except for a towering giant tree standing in the middle of the clearing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a towering tree, after living for two lifetimes, Barn has never seen such a big tree again, which is a bit subverting his worldview.
At the bottom of the big tree is a 10,000-year-old locust tree, and part of the rhizome is exposed, and even if it is just the trunk, twenty adult men can't hold it!
A tree that grows so big is not particularly tall in itself, and can even be described as short according to the proportions of its torso.
But it is such a "dwarf tree", and its dense foliage is almost to the extent of obscuring the sky.
Anyway, Barn hadn't seen the sky since he came to the clearing, and all of it was obscured by the canopy of the giant tree in the middle.
It's not particularly certain how the other clearings came to be, but here Barn is certain, and it must be because the canopy of the giant tree in the middle is so large that it blocks all sunlight.
If there is no sunlight, how can the small trees under this tree photosynthesize?
Coupled with the terrifying rhizomes of this tree, it is also a lot of nutrients underground, causing other trees to be unable to survive.
"This is our sacred tree, we call it the 'Tree of Life', and in the oldest legends, it is from this ancient tree that we elves were born!"
When Barn was still surprised that this spectacle appeared in front of him, the elven queen silently stared at the "Tree of Life" for a while and then slowly spoke, this should be well known to the elves.
And here is Barn an outsider, and it is obvious that the elven queen said this specifically to explain to him.
"So, the tree is older than all of you?"
Barn's focus was not at all where he should have paid attention, originally according to normal people's thinking, he should have noticed the so-called "tree of life" in the other party's mouth at this time when he heard the words of the elf queen.
But what about Barn?
His attention was completely shocked by the timing revealed in the other party's words.
Actually, I don't blame Barn, you know, in his previous life, almost all elven stories had such a key tree.
Some things are called "World Trees", some things are called "Trees of Life", and so on!
Anyway, it probably means the same thing, there will be such a thing, under the influence of his ears and eyes, he doesn't feel how strange it is, but he takes it for granted, if he doesn't, then he will feel strange.
However, the age of this tree made him a little surprised, you must know that the elf race is originally a relatively long-lived race, even if it is not cultivated, it can live for five or six hundred years.
Not to mention those who have cultivated life energy, it is even more terrifying!
And even if they live as long, they still don't know when this ancient tree appeared, and even their current generations are not very clear.
To say that the legend is true, Barn still doesn't believe it a little, and if it is really as the other party said, it would be outrageous.
What tree can live that long?
If he could really live this long, Barn felt that no matter how he could cultivate to the essence, right? Will it still stand quietly here in the form of a tree?
For example, Star-Lord's father in the Galactic Audition was originally a planet, and after such a long period of practice, he could transform into a human form and spread love and seeds to all corners of the universe.
Why can't this tree?
"Don't be surprised, this is the case, the tree of life also contains a very large amount of life energy, which is why it can survive in this world for so long.
Although the authenticity of those legends is no longer verifiable, it does have some special meaning in our people. ”
Seeing that Barn looked unbelieving, the Elven Queen explained slightly.
There's nothing strange about this, now just find someone outside, whoever it is, and tell him in front of him that the big tree in front of him has lived for hundreds of millions of years or even longer.
Maybe as long as you are mentally normal, you won't believe it......
After all, the ancient tree in front of him, yes, it does look like it is a few years old, but at most it is a few hundred years.
Other than that, I can't see anything different at all, to put it bluntly, there is no strange appearance at all, how can people believe that it has such an ancient history?
In the end, this tree of life is too ordinary, if it shines a little more on its own, or it grows an old man's facial features like those legendary stories.
In that case, some people may believe that it is the kind of old demon tree that has lived for a long, long time!
"Alright, now that you've seen the Tree of Life, let's hurry up and get to Mia's place!"
No longer bothering about the Tree of Life, whether it is a few hundred years old or hundreds of millions of years, it has nothing to do with her, now let's go and see Mia's situation first.
As soon as he finished speaking, he found that all the elves present, including the elven queen, turned their heads to look at him, with only some strange looks in their eyes, which made Barn a little inexplicable for a while, and he didn't know what was going on?
Or did you say something wrong just now and violated some taboos of the other party?
Sometimes this is the case, when you are new to a race that you have never met and are not very familiar with, you will accidentally say something wrong and make the other party feel dissatisfied.
After all, each race will have some of their own habits of behavior, and no one can figure out all of them.
But this time he did think too much, there was nothing wrong with what he said before, and the reason why the elves turned their heads to look at him was because......
"This is our destination! We've arrived! ”
Seeing that Barn still didn't react, the elf queen really couldn't stand it, so she reminded directly.
"That's right...... But ......"
Barn was stunned for a moment, and only after making sure that he had heard correctly, and then he carefully observed the other party's expressions to make sure that they were not joking with him, and then he looked around again.
After checking it several times, he still didn't even see a single figure!
Not to mention the human figure, there are not even other trees, and there is no place to hide people, so where is the Demia they are talking about?
It can't be that the other party deliberately lured himself here in this way, right?
To gather people and then surround yourself here, trying to do something insidious?
