Chapter 31: Starlight Forest
The Root Beard Elder tells the story of the Mother Tree.
According to it.
A hundred years ago, there was a thriving forest ahead, and under the management of the Mother Tree, the whole area was full of life and obeyed the law of harmony.
This is also perfectly in line with Lindsay's perception.
Because long before the arrival of the dragon beast, the expedition team also recorded the situation here when they passed through this canyon area.
They didn't mention any dangerous creatures lurking in the forest.
On the contrary, it is recorded that the scenery here is beautiful, and the members of the expedition are also in a good mood because of it.
They even named it the Starlight Forest, in honor of a meteor shower they saw here.
It's a pity that the situation in the Starlight Forest has not remained unchanged after this hundred years.
When the Dragon Head, the ruler of the Black Mountain World, descended, he naturally would not let go of such a vast area as the Starlight Forest.
The Mother of Trees, who originally pursued the way of nature and the Great Forest, was also forced to be included in the command of the dragon beast......
"Haven't you thought about resisting?"
Lindsay listened quietly to the other party's news, but Red suddenly spoke.
The girl was liberated from captivity by Lindsay before, and although she lost her memory, she also knew that her position as a prisoner and the dragon beast were definitely not good.
At this moment, when she heard the so-called tree mother, she chose to give in to the dragon beast.
The dissatisfaction in the red heart is almost written on the face:
"If I were you, even if I risked my life, I wouldn't be able to choose to give in casually."
Elder Rootbeard didn't care about Red's contempt.
It interprets this question from its own perspective as a plant spirit:
"Those of us who are born from plants generally live long. Even if the drake rules over us, and after a long time, it will eventually become the nourishment of the earth, but the forest remains. ”
"What's more, in nature, the law of the jungle eats the strong, and surrendering to the strong is not an unacceptable choice."
"Huh-" Hong snorted coldly, and stopped talking to the elder root.
Lindsey didn't comment on this, but only led the other to continue to tell what happened:
"Since you beings in the forest, accept the fate of surrender. Then you should live in the forest, and you can't be here. ”
"There should be something going on next. That should be your reason to leave the forest, right? ”
"Human, you're smart." Elder Rootbeard agreed with Lindsay's inference, "probably in 52 evolutionary cycles...... Thirteen years ago as you humans, the drake sent an emissary into the forest. ”
Speaking of which, the Elder Root Paused for a short time.
It seemed to remember some very terrible encounters, and adjusted its mood before continuing:
"When that messenger arrived, he ordered the transcendent beings in the forest to turn in essentia and help the drake beast complete its advancement."
"The Mother Tree originally had a gentle temperament and loved nature."
But as the essence of power is constantly extracted, her personality becomes twisted and irritable. Not like a forest, but an anti-beast. ”
The content of the Elder Rootbeard matches the reminder of the corrupted poisonous spider.
Lindsay silently looked at the Starlight Forest in the east, and the green in her field of vision was endless, and after disappearing into the sky, it did not fade, but became even more vast, almost becoming the earth itself.
This area is already a vast area.
Thanks to the management of the extraordinary beings in the forest, it has expanded over the centuries to the size of a large country.
Refer to the account of the expedition when it crossed the forest.
The Forest of Radiance should be more than 2,000 kilometers long from east to west, and it is not known how far it is from south to north without being explored.
Now the rulers are succumbing to madness.
It is also a completely predictable fact that some people will choose to cut off the tail of geckos and escape.
"The dryads at the junction of the world should have escaped from here."
Lindsay whispered a sigh of emotion.
Then he nodded slightly to the Root Beard Elder in approval:
"So you don't want to accept this outcome and run away?"
The elder Gengsu hurriedly admitted:
"I've told you what I know. As agreed, you can let me go......"
Lindsay abruptly interrupted the other party's plea:
"That's right, you have a reason to leave the forest. But that doesn't explain your behavior of reminding us. As a fugitive who betrayed the Mother Tree, you should lie dormant here rather than come out and warn you when you see someone. ”
“……”
The Rootbeard Elder was silent for a moment, but quickly found a reason.
"Both of you are human awakened beings, and if you are caught in the forest, it will undoubtedly help that dragon beast to advance."
"I came out to warn you, just to keep him from ......"
"Don't talk about such ridiculous reasons." Lindsey once again forcefully interrupted the Root Beard Elder, "How many awakened people of a force like ours will be in such a huge forest?" Even if we are caught, what can change if we have two more? ”
At this point, Lindsay's gaze became aggressive.
The neutrality of the yellow mark will never risk giving them a warning.
Combined with the previous encounter, a bold idea came to Lindsay's mind.
Even if you guess wrong, you won't miss a piece of meat!
At most, when I had dinner tonight, I was taunted by Hongduo......
Lindsay made a decision in an instant, and in the next second, he asked in an awe-inspiring tone:
"There should be other people behind you, and it is precisely because of the order of this person behind the scenes that you give us a reminder."
“……”
The Elder Rootbeard fell silent and did not reply.
Lindsay, however, continues to increase the persecution in her language:
"And the rock golem that lurked in my camp in the first place."
"If you're still in the fifth stage and create such a big puppet, maybe it's still possible; But with your current strength in the fourth stage, you must not have the corresponding ability. ”
"Tell me honestly, who is behind you!"
The reaction of the elder was unexpected.
This guy, who could humble himself and beg for his life, completely shut up at this time and did not make any answer.
It was as if a decision had already been made.
Even if it is killed by Lindsay here, it will not reveal any more information.
Sometimes, an attitude of not answering is an answer in itself.
When Hong on the side saw the scene in front of him, he knew that Lindsay had guessed some truth.
However, in the face of this problem, the root beard elder chose not to cooperate.
"It's your choice!"
Red showed no mercy at this, and her fiery red pupils became cold as iron.
Without any hesitation, the meteorite spear that had been hanging over the head of the Root Beard Elder immediately burst into red flames.
Thundered!
Almost at the same time, the ground on the edge of the cliff trembled, making it unsteady to stand.
At the moment when the life and death of the Root Beard Elder was in danger, the earthy yellow puppet appeared from the earth, and his hands were raised high.
It lurked somehow, and it was below the three of them.
An elder with roots about to be burned to death by a meteorite spear.
Protected by its closed hands, it wants to be dragged underground.
"I want to run!"
Although the ground trembled, the violence in Hong's tone was extremely calm.
Bang!
The girl stepped on the ground with one foot, and her body jumped up like an eagle.
The meteorite spear in her hand was raised in flames, and she immediately aimed at the rock golem that wanted to sink into the earth.
This blow is not just going to pierce the puppet.
The elders who are protected by it must also die!
"Please don't hurt him!" In the nick of time, a deep voice rang out from the rock golem, "He's just doing what I do. ”
"If you want to know the truth, follow this puppet to me."
Whoosh——!
In the next second, the meteorite spear in Hong's hand was thrown.
The girl's cold voice was only for the death sentence:
"The truth?"
"Let's die for me first!"
