Chapter 380: Mission Completion and Closing the Work?
Fortunately, the sides of the crack have been eroded by the wind and snow for a long time, and the top is full of potholes, and there are all kinds of small pits. After Zhao Nan jumped from above, he directly took advantage of those pits and jumped deep one by one.
The shelter grass was really useful, those winds just blew on Zhao Nan's body, as if they had touched an invisible wall of qi and spread out, Zhao Nan did not feel much discomfort except for the feeling of a breeze blowing.
As he went deeper into the abyss of the River Styx, the light around him became darker and darker, and Prissidon, who was walking in front, had already taken out a glowing stone from his arms to illuminate it, and Zhao Nan looked at it from a distance from behind, like a glowing firefly.
Probably a thousand feet or so, Prissinton in front of him suddenly jumped sharply, stepped a long distance, and sank into a deep pit underground.
Zhao Nan and Peter followed behind and did the same, and when they came to their senses, they were already in a low cave.
"My lord, if you enter from here, you will be able to reach the Nova vein. Prissinton pointed to the depths of the cavern, and saw a silver glow at the end.
"Then let's hurry up. Zhao Nan had already opened the system map, and according to the above task coordinate prompts, he knew that it was not far from the place where the target was.
Prissinton nodded, then continued to take the lead in front.
If it weren't for Prissinton leading the way, even if there was a systematic task coordinate prompt, Zhao Nan estimated that it would take a long time to find the place where the seeds of the new shijie tree could be implanted.
Walking through those caves, there were indeed silver veins as thick as chopsticks all over his eyes, and Zhao Nan still remembered that these silver threads were the Nova veins he had seen in the depths of the Whisperer's Corridor back then.
"By the way, there's something to be warned, because the Nova vein has just been repaired. Therefore, it is still very fragile, and it is better not to touch it when the adults are advancing, and more importantly, Miss Maggie, the divine master of our clan, is using divine magic to nourish the veins, and if it touches it, it is likely to attract her attention. Prissinton reminded.
Zhao Nan's hand was about to touch those silver threads, if it weren't for Prissinton's sudden words, he would really have to touch them, because he still wanted to try to see if it could be like half a year ago. Absorb 1000 units of mana from above.
Withdrawing his hand eloquently, Zhao Nan smiled dryly: "Fortunately, you have something to say, otherwise it will be troublesome." ”
"This is the negligence of subordinates. Prisidon dared to blame Zhao Nan, he could only secretly breathe a sigh of relief, obviously taken aback by Zhao Nan's actions just now.
"Lord Prissinton. In this case, we implanted new shijie tree seeds on the Nova vein. Will it attract the attention of Master Maggie?" asked Peter at this time, expressing concern.
"Rest assured. The seeds of the shijie tree originally came out of the same place as the Nova vein, and they were all transformed by the holy power of the goddess of nature, and the fusion between them would not produce any abnormalities. Prissinton explained.
Moving along those root-like Nova veins, passing through caves like honeycombs, Zhao Nan and the others finally arrived at their destination.
System: Quest hint, found coordinates X2938. Y4839, please plant shijie tree seeds here.
When Zhao Nan stepped into the huge cave in front of him, such a prompt also popped up in front of him. Zhao Nan looked up, and the scene in front of him shocked him somewhat.
I saw that this cave was much, much larger than the cave I had passed through before. It was like a space full of holes, and the Nova veins that ran along the ground and walls all extended here, twisting together in the middle to form a thick "trunk" with hundreds of people hugging each other.
Zhao Nan took a closer look, only to see this "trunk", only to see that it was covered with silver silk threads, and it was estimated that there were hundreds of billions on it.
"This is the center of the Nova vein here, and all the veins will eventually converge to this place, and this center extends up from here, which is the Wall of Nova. Prissinton said lightly.
"The seeds of the shijie tree are planted here?" asked Zhao Nan.
"Yes. Prissinton nodded.
"This is too simple, isn't it?" Zhao Nan thought that they were going to have a ceremony or something before planting, which made him worry for a long time.
"My lord, please put the seeds of the shijie tree here. Prisidon smiled and pointed to the silver "trunk" in the center of the vein.
Zhao Nan didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the bottle containing the shijie tree seeds from the system backpack, which contained seeds the size of olive cores, and the seeds were silver and glowing, as if they had magical vitality.
Walking in front of the "tree trunk" in the center of the vein, Zhao Nan unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and the shijie tree seeds inside slowly floated out of the bottle as if they felt the same holy power as themselves.
Whew!
With a slight sound, silver silk threads poked out from the "trunk" in the center of the vein, and came into contact with the shijie tree seeds in the air, and after the silver threads wrapped the seeds, they immediately retracted, and then, the surface of the silver "trunk" emitted a soft silver light.
"It's ......"
Before Zhao Nan could figure out what was going on, a prompt popped up in front of him that the main quest was completed.
System: Congratulations to the player for completing the main quest "The Second Shijie Tree", earning 6,000,000 XP points, 1500 gold coins, and 15,000 honor points. Avalanche Robe (purple), Ice Queen Crystal (gold).
Huh? That's it?
The task was completed too quickly, and Zhao Nan himself didn't expect to complete the task so easily.
After Zhao Nan clicked to confirm, he hurriedly stepped back a distance, and observed the changes implanted on the shijie with Prisseton and Peter.
I saw that after the shijie tree seeds merged into the center of Nova's veins, they emitted a soft silver glow, and the holy power on it seemed to be absorbed, and it quickly rushed towards the place where the seeds were inhaled.
This process lasted about half an hour, and suddenly there was a pop, and a small silver sapling emerged from the center, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into an arm-thick tree that emerged from the silver vein center, and then horizontally.
"This is the shijie tree?" Zhao Nan walked over again, only to see that the tree was full of silver light, as if it was full of vitality, and it did look exactly the same as the shijie tree he had seen before.
It's just that. That's too small, isn't it?
"My lord, from germination to growth, as long as there is a steady stream of holy power absorption, the seeds of the shijie tree can grow up quickly. Prisseton chuckled.
"How long will it take to grow to the size of the shijie tree now?" Zhao Nan suddenly raised a question, in his impression, the super shijie tree that towered in the middle of the whispering forest was a giant tree as high as a thousand feet, and this small sapling in front of him, if it grew normally, would take at least millions of years to grow.
"Actually. It only takes a hundred years for the shijie tree to grow. Prissinton explained.
Oh, a hundred years, that's a lot faster, 10,000 times faster than you could imagine in a million years.
Hear the number. Zhao Nan couldn't help but have black lines on his face, and he spit out: "The old man of the high priest tried his best. Avoid the eyes and ears of other forest arias. It's just to grow a new shijie tree, but it takes a hundred years? What does that do you do now?"
Prisidon seemed to understand what Zhao Nan meant, he showed a wry smile, and Peter next to him spoke: "Actually, Lord High Priest doesn't want to change anything with the new shijie tree, but just hopes that our elven clan will have more choices in the future." Once the original shijie tree falls. We have a hope here. ”
"What does racial inheritance mean?" Zhao Nan raised his eyebrows, as if he understood a little.
"Yes. Peter nodded.
At this time, a system dialog box popped up in front of Zhao Nan again.
System: Trigger the main quest "Race Inheritance", and you will successfully make a new shijie tree seed sprout. After completing the request of the elven high priest, now, please go back and reply to the high priest. Complete the quest to gain 5,000,000 XP and 1300 gold.
It's actually the follow-up main quest?
Seeing this prompt, Zhao Nan was also slightly stunned, he clicked on confirm, and then said to Prissinton: "Okay, let's go back now, anyway, the task of planting trees is done, it's time to go back and hand over." ”
Prisidon and Peter also looked at each other happily, the two of them were entrusted by the high priest to assist Zhao Nan, and naturally they also needed to report the results of the mission to the high priest after they returned.
Zhao Nan walked very fast this time, he was thinking about whether to directly use the system map to teleport back to the Whispering Forest, after all, the main quest and the "Northern Battlefield" dungeon quest have been completed, and it is completely unnecessary to stay here, if you want to go back, you can teleport a little, and you don't need to follow the army slowly step by step.
At this moment, there was a tremor on the ground.
"What's going on?" cried Peter.
"The tremors are coming from outside, oh no, the camp outside has been attacked, could it be a dragon?" said Prissinton's face changed as well.
, my brother was about to leave and something happened?
Zhao Nan was depressed for a while, he was not a merciless person, if the outside was really attacked by a dragon as Prissinton said, he would not pat his ass and leave.
In order to get back to the ground as soon as possible, the three of them ran at full speed almost without reservation, but it took half an hour for the three of them to return to the ground, and they saw the scene in front of them, which made their eyes tear for a while.
I saw that the camp in the distance was in flames, and almost half of the sky was illuminated.
Prisidon didn't want to fly away in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he had already flown a long distance.
"Sir, hurry up and help, and the subordinates themselves will follow. Peter eagerly said to Zhao Nan that because of his limited strength, he didn't know the skills of fighting against the sky at all.
Zhao Nan was also embarrassed for a while, he himself would not be vindictive, so he could only laugh dryly: "I'll be with you." ”
Before Peter could understand it, there was a crackling sound of blue lightning in front of him, and when the lightning dissipated, a big cat-like phantom beast was already lying on the ground.
"Don't ask, hurry up. Seeing that Peter still had a shocked expression, Zhao Nan urged him angrily.
"Yes......" Although he didn't understand that Zhao Nanweishenme, who was a forest aria, didn't need to fight against the sky, but as a subordinate, Peter naturally didn't dare to ask more, and climbed up.
The Tiger Roar roared, then flew into the sky, heading for the army's quarters.
As the distance got closer and closer, the situation in front of them finally fell into the eyes of Zhao Nan and Peter, only to see the other side of the abyss of the Styx, I don't know when a large number of wurms gathered, they kept roaring at the elven army on the opposite side, spitting out flames of various colors from their mouths, falling on the camp, exploding a burst of flying sand and stones.
"Weishenme: Suddenly so many wurms appeared here?" Zhao Nan was also stunned, the scene in front of him was actually a match for the dragon tide that he had encountered on the side of the Crystal Mountain Range before.
"All of our troops retreated, behind the Wall of Nova. "Prissinton had returned to the army and was with Erwin, and he immediately ordered the large force to retreat a few hundred meters and hide behind the wall of Nova.
When those fires spewed out again, they were suddenly blocked by a dark green light curtain, and even though those flames crackled, the light curtain still didn't move.
Seeing that their attacks were blocked, as if they had received an order, the wurms all stopped, and only roared and demonstrated to the elven army on the other side of the Styx.
"Zhao Nan!"
Suddenly, Audrey's voice came from the retreating army, Zhao Nan looked down, and sure enough, he saw her waving at him on the ground.
"My lord, let's go down first. Seeing Audrey, Peter seemed a little excited, and hurriedly proposed.
"It doesn't matter, just go down, I haven't figured out what's going on anyway. Zhao Nan shrugged, and then let the roaring tiger beast fly from the sky and land on the ground.
This place was bombarded by a sneak attack by those wurms just now, so there were potholes and scorched earth everywhere, and when Zhao Nan and Peter jumped down from it, Audrey had already run over.
"Where have you been?" When she was attacked just now, Audrey searched everywhere but couldn't find Zhao Nan, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"This, we ......"
Peter was suddenly dumbfounded by the question, he didn't know how to explain to Audrey, Zuihou or Zhao Nan stood up and said: "We went out for a walk after eating, as the saying goes, after a meal, you will live to ninety-nine in a hundred steps, isn't Peter?"
"Uh, yes......" Peter was out of ideas, and could only nod in agreement.
Audrey glanced at Zhao Nan, who was familiar with Zhao Nan's character, and clearly heard that this was nonsense.
"What the hell is going on, why are there so many wurms suddenly appearing on the other side?" Zhao Nan asked with a serious expression.
Now he is in an extremely unhappy mood, he originally thought that he had completed the main quest of zuihou and could call it a day and go back to see Poznia, but he didn't expect a large group of wurms to suddenly pop up, isn't this a clear trouble?
"I didn't know it, I was still leading a patrol around the camp at the time, when suddenly there was a burst of fire, and then a large number of explosions sounded, and by the time we came out, there was already a dragon tide-sized sub-dragon army on the opposite side of the Styx Abyss. Audrey shook her head, then said in a deep voice.
"Wait, on the other side of the Abyss of Styx, isn't it the territory of the original orcs? Are these armies of the wurms coming south from the northern side of the orc realm?" Peter suddenly realized something, and cried out in a lost voice. (To be continued......)
