Chapter 541: Choices and Promises (I)
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of the character 123 classmates, thank you for your collection recommendation!
After this stone pillar appeared, another stone pillar came across the horizon, and Leon looked up for the first time, only to find a behemoth in view.
This is a stone giant, almost more than thirty meters tall, its right hand grasps a huge stone hammer, the hammer head of the stone hammer on its shoulder, and its body walks together between the ravines, although the pace is slow, but each step is at least ten meters across the distance.
Before, Leon thought that the mammoth was already the largest creature he had ever seen, but he didn't expect that compared to the stone people that appeared now, it was like the difference between him and the immortal doll.
“…… This is the rock giant?" muttered the young man.
"Giant?" said the ancient tree's voice, "no, it's not close, it's just a slightly larger rock golem." ”
Li Ang couldn't help but babble again, "Have you ever seen a real giant?"
"Well, I remember one time...... Forget it, don't mention it," Elite suddenly stopped the topic and said instead, "Did you see all the qiē just now?"
"See," Leon replied honestly, and although he was very dissatisfied with the ancient tree's behavior of often speaking half-way, he could only slander him for a while.
The scene he saw just now was indeed quite shocking, he knew that the Great Wasteland was very dangerous, but he never expected that there were so many powerful creatures, even the Eye Demons appeared in groups, not to mention the shocking rock puppet.
Fortunately, he came across this long-lived ancient tree before he entered the edge of the Great Wasteland, otherwise if he ventured into it, he might have really led to the consequences of hitting the stone with an egg.
But...... What was the purpose of the Ancient Tree Elite showing him this scene?
The crack in front of my eyes began to close. The vines also slowly descended, sending him back to the ground.
"Similar creatures abound in the Great Wasteland. "The Great Wasteland has become a paradise for monsters, a veritable place of death. ”
"How did they come about?" Leon was curious about the question.
The ancient tree sighed faintly. said: "This reason is too heavy for you, so it's better to not know." ”
"But there is one thing I can tell you, this land has been extracting my life source, and because of this, the number of those monsters will increase and become more and more powerful. ”
"I've been fighting monsters for years, but here my abilities are so suppressed that I can barely trap them, and when I'm tired. They would get uncontrollable and begin to expand around until I recovered again. ”
Li Ang suddenly realized, he had heard that a hundred years ago, a wave of monsters would break out in the Great Wasteland every once in a while, and it turned out that it was because the ancient tree Elite was in a period of fatigue that the monsters would swarm out.
But...... Hasn't a similar situation occurred again in the last 100 years or so?
He asked the doubts in his mind.
"Yes, I used to recuperate when I got tired. I've trapped them again for a while, but by now, my life force has run out of money, and there's no point in resting or not resting, isn't it?"
"Ahh "What do you mean ......"
"Yes, I'll be dying soon," the ancient tree's voice was still calm.
The young man was completely stunned. Ever since he came into contact with the ancient tree Ellett, he had the impression that this creature with a long life was almost equivalent to an omniscient and omnipotent being. Who would have thought that the other party would suddenly say such a sentence.
"It's nothing, any life has such a process. Elite continued: "Even those supposedly immortal beings are only close to immortality, so I don't need to linger any longer. ”
"While I still have some ability, I want to make changes and prove to these chaotic things, although my old tree can't move, but the real anger is not something that inferior monsters can stop!"
Speaking of this, the voice of the ancient tree Elite began to fluctuate slightly.
"That's why I wanted you to do something for me. ”
"Tell me," Leon was in a mixed mood at the moment, he really didn't want to see the death of an ancient life like Ellett, especially after contacting him, he found out that he was a kind creature, and he also showed obvious kindness to himself.
But the young man knew that his ability could not do anything about it, and he was very entangled for a while. For him, all he can do now is to try his best to meet the other party's requirements, which can be regarded as repaying Gu Shu's kindness.
Ancient Tree Elite was silent for a while, and then spoke: "This great wasteland is actually a rather large secret magic circle, which can suppress my ability to the minimum, and it also continuously draws life force from my body. ”
"After so many years of slow exploration, I have confirmed that there is a special place in each of the four directions of the Great Wasteland, where there are key nodes to maintain the operation of the secret magic circle, as long as it is destroyed, it is equivalent to destroying more than half of this secret magic circle. ”
"However, it is impossible for you to destroy them all, so I will point you to the two nodes closest to the periphery, as long as you destroy these two places, I will restore some of my abilities, although it is far less than before, but it is not a big problem to die with them. ”
"I'd like to warn you, though, that one of the nodes is guarded by a Eye of the Eye of the Underlord, and the other is guarded by the rock golems you just saw. ”
"I know that your ability to restrain the Eye Demon is inherent, but the low-level Overseer's Eye is much stronger than you, and the Eye Demon team under your command is also very strong, don't think that you can easily deal with it with your own ability, and the same is true for other rock golems, it is almost impossible to succeed without a person above the fifth order. ”
"So, don't make a decision lightly, or think about it before replying to me. ”
Finally, Gu Shu added, "Please rest assured, even if you refuse this request, I will understand it, and I will not take back the things that were given to you because of this." ”
"After all, if I die, these things will be annihilated in the Great Wasteland with me, and if they are left to them, the threat to this place is too great......"
Gu Shu's words were quite strange, not only expressing his urgent desire to get out of trouble and eliminate the monsters, but also mentioning all the dangers in it, as if he was afraid that Li Ang would agree, the young man couldn't help but fall into silence, he frowned and walked back and forth in place, seriously considering the other party's request.
After a long time, Leon raised his head and said, "Allow me to ask you a few questions. ”
"Say it, little one. ”
"You mean, if all four nodes are destroyed, the Great Wasteland will no longer be able to suppress your abilities, and it will not be able to extract life force, right?"
"No, it's just that I can't extract life force, and I still have a certain amount of suppression, unless I destroy the two key nodes around this place together. ”
"So in other words, if you destroy the four nodes, and you recover some of your abilities, will you be able to kill some of the monsters?"
That's true. ”
"If you destroy all six nodes...... Won't you be able to fully recover and not die soon, as I just said?"
"Hmm...... Theoretically, I could recover more than half of it in the first few years, but it would not be easy to fully recover, it would take at least a hundred years. ”
Li Ang showed a look that was indeed the case, and then said, "Please tell me about the guards of all nodes." ”
"Little one, do you want to ...... No, it's impossible, do you know how strong it takes to do that?"
"I've met many powerful creatures in the past thousand years, including you humans, and I naively wanted them to get me out, but they all disappeared when they heard this request, so today I had to find you. ”
"Trust me, you can't do it. ”
"I'm not afraid that I can't do it, but I'm afraid I don't dare to think about it, right?" said Li Ang.
Ancient Tree Elite was silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, "Okay. ”
"There are two nodes on the periphery, one is guarded by powerful mutated sinkers and sinkers, it controls a hundred sinkers and two thousand undead squires, within one or two meters of it, the strength of these undead squires will be greatly increased, and the comprehensive strength completely surpasses that of the eye demon squad. ”
"The undead you are talking about is probably the kind of strong undead doll you just had, but...... There are more than two thousand?" Li Ang's head suddenly tingled, but he listened carefully.
"That last node is in the middle of a six-armed snake demon group, and there are at least one hundred and fifty adult and fifty twilight bodies in this group, do you understand the meaning?"
The young man's face began to turn pale, he coughed, and said, "Yes, there are two more who will sue me together." ”
"The last two are guarded by two rock golems, but there is also an evil dragon that roams back and forth, so it can also be considered one of the guards. ”
Leon's face changed from white to cyan, and he took a breath and said, "Dragon?"
"It's not a real dragon, it's an evil dragon, a subspecies of dragon, that is, what you often call a pseudo-dragon, in an immature youth, although the intelligence is not high, but the nature is brutal and aggressive. ”
"How strong is it?"
"Hmm, what is the strength, in terms you can understand, a fifth-order plus a few fourth-order above the middle and advanced level is estimated to be able to deal with it. ”
Leon's face finally darkened.
"So, if you're really willing to help, you can just destroy the two nodes according to what I built at the beginning, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
The young man began to look down again, and after a few moments, he stopped and said, "When can this be done at the latest?" (to be continued......
