Arthur: They accidentally encounter a wounded little giant in the underground passage.

Arthur handed a small vial, more than an inch high, to the little giant.

The little giant didn't reach out to pick it up, still looking at Arthur and the others with guarded and puzzled eyes.

Arthur placed the bottle directly at the giant's feet, "Don't worry, it's not poison, if we want to treat you badly now, we don't have to do it this way, drinking it will heal your injuries." ”

The little giant hesitated for a moment, but finally reached for the bottle and drank the liquid from it with a tilt of his head.

What Arthur gave him was the elven mother tree source liquid, and as the huge vitality entered the body, the little giant's body was actually shrouded in a faint light. When the light faded, the color of his skin had changed from a dying grayish-brown to a pale gray, and his eyes had regained life.

"Come and show me your wounds. Arthur slowly walked up to the little giant, who was about the same height as Arthur even when he sat on the ground.

This time he didn't reject Arthur again, and let Arthur tear off the leather coat on his upper body.

I saw a huge penetrating wound on the upper part of his left chest, which was speculated to be caused by the infusion of fighting energy with blades such as guns and arrows. Because the wound was a little closer to avoid the heart point, he was definitely lucky to survive.

Because of the infusion of a large amount of life energy, now the wound began to gush blood again, but it was already red blood. Arthur threw two healing orbs at his wound in quick succession to stop the bleeding, and then took out gauze to bandage him.

When Arthur was treating the little giant's injuries, Joan, who hadn't eaten a hot meal for three days, couldn't wait to take out the fuel from the space ring and light the fire, and then set up the pot and began to cook porridge.

The firelight illuminated the room and warmed up the surroundings quickly, and the aroma of porridge soon wafted out of the pot.

The gurgling sound also came from the little giant's belly at this time.

"Hungry?"

The little giant nodded embarrassedly.

"Then come and eat with us. Arthur motioned for him to sit around the fire.

Arthur understood the amount of food of the giant, and a large pot of porridge Arthur and Shino ate a third of them, and he ate the rest as if he was not too full. However, this meal also made the little giant completely let go of his wariness of Arthur and them, knowing that his name was Buku.

"Buku, who hurt you, your partner and your family?"

"My dad brought me here, and he said he was going to send something back to someone else. Then we were attacked by some monsters that appeared out of nowhere, and my dad hid me here and went to fight them himself. ”

"Monsters, what kind of monsters?"

"Slightly taller than you, with scales on their bodies and faces, they carry a lot of strange weapons. ”

Sino and Arthur made a quick eye contact, obviously no one knew what the monster described by the little giant Buku was, and there was absolutely no one with scales on the body of the known intelligent races on the continent.

Arthur had to change the question and continued, "What about your father? We came down from outside and didn't see him." ”

Buku's expression turned sad, "I don't know where he went, and he didn't find him, he must have been captured by those monsters." ”

Arthur was stunned, "Who's that?"

The Ice Spirit Fox slipped into Buku's arms and rubbed his head affectionately against his chest.

"It's twitter, the partner I grew up with. ”

"Do you have any other companions, your people, why are you and your father the only ones here?" Arthur finally asked his biggest concern, the mystery of the disappearance of the giants.

"Our village is far, far north and my dad and I walked a long way to get here. ”

"You're saying your home isn't here?"

"Hmm. Buku nodded slightly, "Dad said that this is just our ancestral land, and the people of the clan moved away hundreds of years ago. ”

"Did your dad tell you why he wanted to move out?"

"He said that our Giant Clan and this land have been cursed, and our Clan has been decreasing for thousands of years, and there will be no more Giant Clan on the continent. ”

Arthur continued, "Did your father tell you why he was cursed?"

This time, Buku couldn't answer, and he didn't know much about the antidote to the "Frozen Body". Fortunately, Arthur and the others confirmed that the giants did not perish, but had moved farther north. If you can find them, there may be a way, and Buku is the key to finding the giants.

"Buku, what are you going to do next?"

"I thought I was going to die, but now that you've saved me, I'm going to stay here and wait for Daddy to come back. ”

"What if he never comes back? Do you have to wait any longer? Besides, he must have had an accident if he didn't come back for so long. Arthur began to guide Buku.

No matter how tall he was, Buku was still a child who was not fully mentally mature, and Arthur's question immediately asked him.

"Go home, you can engrave the news of your home on the wall. If your dad comes back one day, he will come home if he can't find you here. ”

Buku was a little moved by Arthur's words, but he still hesitated, "The road is too dangerous. ”

"We just have something to ask your village chief, and we can drop you back. Do you know the way home?"

Buku immediately showed an excited expression, "Great, I can't remember, but I must remember." ”

......

Elven Mother Tree underground.

Countless dark elves are frantically attacking the heart of the mother tree, and the magical light that protects the heart of the mother tree is vibrating violently.

Teams of ground elves jumped down from the passage above the heart of the mother tree, and a scuffle ensued to stop the dark elves.

This is an inexplicable battle, although the dark elves have been suppressed underground by the elves, they will never attack the elven mother tree, because they also need to obtain energy from the roots of the mother tree. The Dark Elves, who regard the Elven Mother Tree as their source of life, are now suddenly attacking the Heart of the Mother Tree like crazy, with the posture of destroying it completely.

On the outskirts of the Forest of Dreams, Elven Grand Elder Serrani shouted into the forest, "I know you're here, you come out." ”

"It's not the appointed time, you shouldn't have reached me. An emotionless voice floated out of the forest.

"Why attack Mother's Heart, I know those dark elves must have been instigated by you. ”

"Since the only way to get the Broken Seal Stone is to destroy it, you can only destroy it. ”

"You can't hurt the mother tree, she is the living root of all our elves, and if you destroy her elven clan, it will be over, and you didn't promise me that. ”

"No, even without the Elven Mother Tree, your Elven clan will continue and live better. You don't have to live around it, the whole continent will be your land. ”

"You tell those dark elves to stop, I'll think of other ways, I'm sure I'll find the Broken Stone. ”

After a long time, a reply came from the forest, "Then you better hurry." ”
