Chapter 224: A New Temple
"This is a donation from the Land of Sand, a total of 100,000 gold coins. ”
"This is a donation from the Dwarven Federation, a total of 80,000 gold coins. ”
"This is a donation from Black Salt City, a total of ten thousand gold coins. ”
......
In the core territory of the Dragon's Lair, Elizabeth is counting donations from all directions.
The previous donations have been counted, reaching a total of 3.5 million, and some towns that really can't afford to donate money have also mortgaged with various goods.
But in either way, the city-states and nations donated a lot of gold, and this was only the first wave.
When the news that the Great Lord of Wu Di was fighting the Void Serpent spread from White Light City.
The Lord of Storm City threw away 100,000 gold coins at that time to donate money to help Lord Wu Di.
It is said that he had already put on his armor that night and was going to fight side by side with Lord Wu Di.
In the past, the Storm City Lord would never have thought of fighting on the battlefield if he wanted to run away or call for help when he was in danger.
Why is there such a big change?
Obviously, since joining the Silver Dawn Knights.
The Storm City Lord has greatly improved in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament.
But the main thing is that the Storm City Lord has become very brave and confident.
In the words of the Storm City Lord himself, it is.
"As long as you lick Lord Wu Di, you will have everything in the end. ”
That's about it.
So the second wave of donations soon began, and the Great Lord of Wu Di didn't even hold a meeting, and those kings, lords, and lords took out their gold coins one after another and sent them to the Dragon City.
This shook Elizabeth's heart once again.
Even the most loyal vassals are not so loyal to their lords.
This is the means of the Great Lord of Wu Di, and this is the courage of the Great Lord of Wu Di.
There is no need to conquer by force at all, only to conquer others with your own personality charm and your own glorious image.
To save the cyber world, only the Great Lord of Wu Di can do it.
To conquer the whole world in this way, loyalty is absolutely guaranteed.
In Elizabeth's heart, the admiration for the Great Lord of Wu Di has once again reached its peak.
So in Wu Di's inner dog licking list, Elizabeth, who was originally ranked third, suddenly surpassed Onexia.
This made Wu Di feel very strange, obviously he didn't do anything, why did Elizabeth's dog licking list upgrade to the ranking?
Forget it, I don't want to, now I have to hurry up and deal with the Void Serpent.
The Void Serpent in front of him, every time Wu Di appeared, he would come over to chase Wu Di, but when Wu Di disappeared, the Void Serpent would move in the direction of the root of the World Tree.
It stands to reason that a creature like the Void Serpent should have some intelligence, but his performance doesn't seem to have such a thing as IQ at all.
Wu Di couldn't help but guess that the actions of the Void Serpent were probably not directly controlled by the members of the Night Council in the Void.
In other words, there was another purpose besides trying to snatch the two artifacts.
Like dragging yourself.
When Wu Di thought of this possibility, he went through the whole incident from beginning to end.
The Council of the Night apparently intends to use the roots of the World Tree to enter the cyber world.
The World Tree is built on one of the nodes of the Magic Web.
After extinguishing the flames of the World Tree Forest yourself.
Soon the entrance to the root of the World Tree was found.
Of course, the biggest credit is still the bombs.
But even without those bombs, Wu Di believed in himself that it would not be very difficult to find the entrance to the World Tree.
After entering the root of the World Tree, it didn't take long to discover the traces of the Void Serpent.
Until now, he is still fighting with the Void Snake, although the Void Snake is very large, but after more than ten days of consumption, he has been covered in scaly wounds.
Even so, the Serpent of the Void had no intention of leaving.
It seems that the Void Serpent is attracted by its two artifacts, but what if there is another meaning behind it?
The Council of the Night doesn't look like it's mentally retarded.
After Wu Di thought of this possibility, he quickly communicated with the players on the forum.
The main thing is to see if the players are still exploring the map of the roots of the World Tree.
In addition to players who are passionate about fighting, hunting the Serpent of the Void.
There are also many players who are exploring the map of the World Tree Root, after all, Wu Di's daily quest includes the task of exploring the World Tree Root.
And the reward given is not very bad, which is why Wu Di considered that the Void Serpent may be dragging his own props.
At present, the exploration progress of the entire world tree root has reached 80%.
It can be said that only the last small part is left, and the exploration is not finished.
Even if the Void Serpent is a prop that drags him, Wu Di also believes that relying on these players themselves, they can finally find the truth.
But this Void Serpent must be killed.
In less than half a year, he grew from more than 20 meters to more than 100 meters thick.
If he was given another year or two, he would not be able to devour the entire planet.
And now is also an excellent opportunity, the Void Serpent in front of him has been consumed by Wu Di and the players very weakly.
Even with its sheer size, the Void Serpent's defenses are very strong.
But under the attack of the Chosen One and Wu Di.
Or with the spirit of the ants biting the elephant, it gave the Void Serpent a very heavy blow.
Those players are very bold, and if they find some wounds on the Void Serpent's body, they will burrow into his body from those wounds and cause massive destruction.
While Wu Di was observing the player's battle against the Void Serpent, news came from the depths of the roots of the World Tree that shocked Wu Di.
In the depths of the roots of the World Tree, there is an upside-down temple.
The roots of the entire World Tree do not grow completely underground.
The roots of the tree in the whole world seem to grow diagonally against the ground, and even the main road of the tree roots has a slope that is completely acceptable to players.
In the last 20%, a temple was found, but the temple seemed to be placed upside down from the entrance to the statue.
This inverted temple is very similar to a temple that Wu Di once saw.
That's the temple you once encountered in Shadowmoon Valley.
The trolls have lived in the underworld beneath Shadowmoon Valley for tens of thousands of years, protecting the fragments of the Pillars of the World.
Could it be that there are also fragments of the same World Pillar behind this inverted temple?
Wu Di couldn't help but think like this, and the pace of exploration of the players continued to advance.
However, at this time, the Void Serpent, which was fighting with the players and Wu Di at the entrance of the World Tree, suddenly left the player and Wu Di behind and fled towards the depths of the World Tree.
The players shouted excitedly, followed in the footsteps of the Void Serpent, and ran inside, looking as if the Void Serpent had escaped with its blood.
But Wu Di keenly felt that things were not like that, although the Void Serpent was already covered in wounds, and the blood it shed could merge into a small red river.
But he was not sluggish, and he was certainly a long way from death.
Then why did the Void Serpent suddenly run away at this time?
Wu Di looked at the Void Serpent, ran towards the depths of the roots of the World Tree without hesitation, and immediately came to his senses.
This guy wants to block the door.
The entrance to that temple is obviously not very large, and if the door is blocked by this void snake, it may not be so easy for players or Wu Di to want to enter.
Is the real conspiracy inside the temple?
The Council of the Night, who is spying on the Temple, knows that the Chosen One has discovered something big about the Temple!
Although it was just a guess, Wu Di felt that the possibility was very high.
He sprang into action, crossing through the portal into the root of the World Tree.
Thanks to the players, the Void Serpent is not moving very fast.
After all, he has been beaten all over his body, and there are players attacking him in various ways along the way, and there are even players who start blocking the road with huge stones.
I have to say that the imagination of these players is really too rich.
And these preparations made in advance have already had an effect, and the retreat of the Void Serpent is difficult.
Wu Di mustered his strength and flew towards the depths of the roots of the World Tree.
He had to rush into the temple.
At the same time, let the players who are still exploring the roots of the World Tree on the forum seize the time to enter the temple.
And they were given an adventure mission.
[Mission Name: Enter the Temple to Explore]
[Mission Description: The temple found in the depths of the roots of the World Tree is likely to be related to the conspiracy planned by the Dark Night Council in the void, and now that you have this opportunity, enter the temple to explore, Lord Wu Di, will soon come to meet you, hurry up.] 】。
[Task rewards: According to the follow-up completion of the task, game points, black dragon contribution points, or equipment and other rewards will be provided.] 】
[Quest Tips: From now on, please cherish your life and don't die randomly, because after death, the adventure mission is likely to fail.] 】
When Wu Di released the quest and confirmed that there were about a thousand or so players who entered the temple to wait, he was relieved.
He followed and flapped his wings in an effort, and soon caught up with the Void Serpent.
This time, the Void Serpent raised its huge snake head, trying to stop Wu Di's progress.
Wu Di flew over his head sensitively, without looking back, heading towards the depths of the roots of the World Tree.
He also shouted loudly to the players next to him:
"Warriors, stop the Void Serpent from its movements, and don't let him continue in the direction of the roots!"
In fact, there is no need for Wu Di to shout like this, those players are already doing this, and they are constantly attacking the Void Serpent in various ways.
With the help of the players, Wu Di quickly got rid of the Void Serpent.
There will be no obstacles on the road after that, but if Wu Di wants to go back, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
Wu Di is not upgraded now, and there is only one place for Philosopher's Stone assimilation.
He could only hope that there would be a philosopher's stone inside the temple.
In fact, the possibility of having a Philosopher's Stone is still very high.
Because the roots of the World Tree grow on the nodes of the magic net, but there are no magic stones in the World Tree Forest or around.
In other words, there is a high probability of having a Philosopher's Stone inside the temple.
As long as you assimilate the magic stone in the temple, you can also use the magic stone to teleport, and the safety factor will skyrocket.
Of course, this is on the premise that the temple has the Philosopher's Stone.
Otherwise, after entering the temple, the Void Serpent really blocked the entrance, and it couldn't kill him in a short time.
You can only wait until you level up, put a portal in place and run out.
But no matter what, entering the temple is definitely the right choice.
Wu Di quickly flew to the entrance of the temple, and the two wings flew, which was so convenient.
The entrance to the temple is only a few meters high.
Wu Di's body of more than 20 meters must have no way to enter it.
After transforming into an elf form, Wu Di quickly walked in through the entrance.
The entrance to the temple is open, and when you enter, the floor is the ceiling, and the overhead is a statue that hangs down.
It's like a temple in Shadowmoon Valley.
Not long after Wu Di left, not far from the entrance of the temple, he met those players who entered, and the number was about a thousand people.
After seeing the Great Lord Wu Di coming, they also quickly greeted him and chattered:
"We were so lucky that we even had an adventure mission. ”
"I wonder if this mission will give purple equipment?"
"It's not very likely, you see that there are already more than a thousand people participating in this mission. ”
"In general, the smaller the number of people participating in an adventure mission, the more likely it is to get equipment. ”
"It seems like this, those adventure missions that I encountered before, if there are a lot of participants, most of them are game points, contribution points and the like. ”
While these players were talking, Wu Di had already walked in the middle of them.
There are a few players who have tried to attack Wu Di, and these are not members of the Dragon's Lair.
It's just that before they could make an attack, they were stopped by other players on the side.
And the way to stop it is very simple, that is, to send them back to life with a knife.
Fortunately, there are not many such players, otherwise, Wu Di would have lost a large number of players before he started to explore this temple.
"Warriors, this temple is dangerous, we have to fight our spirits. ”
Wu Di walked past the players and said to them:
"The players of the Dragon's Lair have come to me and come with me. ”
There is no need for Wu Di to shout like this, the players of the Dragon's Nest have already come to Wu Di's side for the first time.
This is their great Lord Wu Di, there are already players from other guilds who want to attack our lord, how can such a thing be allowed to happen?
In this way, Wu Di took the more than 1,000 players and walked into the depths of the temple.
The entrance to the temple is not very long, and after walking for about ten minutes, you will enter a labyrinth-like place.
Sure enough, it was the same as the Shadow Moon Valley maze that Wu Di had experienced before.
It seems that this temple is also a temple built by the creator god, yes.
But why did the creator god build the temple inside the root of the World Tree? No one could have reached such a place.
Did he build a temple to amuse himself, or was there a race that used to dwell in the roots of the World Tree?
Wu Di felt that the possibility of the latter was relatively high.
In the case of the labyrinth, the easiest way is to let the Chosen enter it and explore it.
Wu Di took them into the temple, of course, to do these things.
After all, it is too dangerous to walk the maze, as a black dragon, there is only one life, and you still have to be careful at all times.
Then Wu Di said to these players:
"Warriors, there is a labyrinth in front of us, we must not stop, we must keep moving and find the exit. ”
When Wu Di finished speaking, the players had already walked into the maze.
Wu Di was ready to sleep for a few hours at the entrance of the labyrinth.
But to Wu Di's surprise, the labyrinth was actually full of words that could guide the way.
Those words are Chinese characters.
There seem to be directions written on every wall, as well as hints of traps in the maze, and so on.
As Chinese players, of course, they don't have any difficulty reading these words.
In this way, it didn't even take an hour, and more than a thousand players had already reached the exit of the maze.
Only a dozen or so players were lost, and this was only when the Bear Kids player deliberately violated the trap.
Wu Di confirmed that there was no danger in the labyrinth.
Immediately after that, he also walked into the labyrinth, following the path that the players had walked to the direction of the exit.
At the exit of the labyrinth, there is an underground world like the inside of Shadow Moon Valley, and you can see strange-shaped plants everywhere.
These plants are very strangely shaped, and they look like colorful mushroom trees, and the mushrooms are very large, about ten meters tall.
When the player used a weapon to cut open the trunk of the mushroom, some very strange liquid flowed out of it, and some player [Nangong Bingz] tasted it.
"Nyima, it's delicious. ”
[Nangong Bingz] said so.
Of course, Wu Di would not taste this liquid of unknown origin.
Just by looking at the appearance, you can clearly feel the magic contained in these liquids.
Not only that, but through the observation of the magic net, the magic node here is very obvious, which means that there must be a magic stone not far away.
As long as there is a magic stone, it means that there is a way out, so Wu Di said to those players for the first time:
"Warriors, spread out and search the surroundings, we need to find a place to settle down as soon as possible, find the magic stone that can be activated, and occupy that place. ”
After those players left, Wu Di stood in place and opened the forum.
Sure enough, just as Wu Di expected, the Void Serpent retreated to the entrance of the temple as soon as possible, and blocked the temple with its huge body.
If it weren't for himself, if he had rushed here immediately, I am afraid that he would have been blocked by the Void Serpent at the door.
This made Wu Di even more sure that there must be something going on inside the temple.
And those players were very efficient, and quickly found the Philosopher's Stone.
It's just that there are already people on the edge of the Philosopher's Stone.
And not ordinary people.
The giant, guarding the edge of the Philosopher's Stone.
When Wu Di saw the giants waiting by the Philosopher's Stone, he was very surprised in his heart.
Because the giant race should be extinct.
During the era of the Shurima Empire, the Giants were the target of the Shurima Empire.
The former giants were almost the masters of the world.
And scattered all over the world, they are very cruel to attack and enslave other races.
After all, before the Shurima Empire, other races did not discover the existence of magic.
And if there is no magic, it is basically whoever has the biggest fist and who speaks harder.
It is clear that the universal giant is more than ten meters high, and his fist is the largest.
And the other races, height and weight, compared to the giants, are too far apart, and it is normal to be enslaved.
When Ivan the Great, the founding emperor of the Shurima Empire, appeared, this situation was completely reversed.
On his way to conquer the world, Ivan the Great also used his magic and his magical guards to kill one giant after another.
After the official establishment of the Shurima Empire, the Shurima Empire, which had no enemies, naturally regarded giants as its only goal.
In this way, under the blow of the Shurima Empire, the giant clan gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
It's just that I didn't expect to see a giant in this temple.
And these giants also guard the magic stone of the temple.
Although Wu Di is the first time to see a giant.
But dragons are actually not very strange to giants, and in Wu Di's dragon inheritance, there is also detailed information about giants.
This is a mortal race that is said to be the closest to the gods, and their massive bodies have helped them dominate the cyber world.
Like all civilized races, they have their own civilized language and social structure.
Normally, seven or eight hundred giants form a tribe.
Ruled by a tribal leader, unlike other races, the giants are very traditional matriarchal societies.
Not only that, but they have a very strong physique and great strength.
A tribe can even challenge an adult dragon.
Relying on their incomparably strong physical strength, they have long enslaved other races, becoming their slave warriors or food.
In general, it is more likely to be used as food.
It wasn't until the discovery of magic that the races that were close to magic turned over and defeated the giants.
Seeing those giants guarding the side of the Philosopher's Stone, Wu Di couldn't help but worry.
But his character is definitely not like a difficult one, and he quickly made a detailed three-step plan.
"Warriors, come here, we need to discuss how to take possession of the Philosopher's Stone. ”
When Wu Di summoned the players to his side.
He quickly shared his plan with the rest of the players, and it was simple:
Step 1: The player attacks the giant.
Step 2: Wu Di assimilates the Philosopher's Stone.
Step 3: Then cover the escape of Lord Wu Di.
That's all for the three-step plan.
If you want to escape, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult, because the height of this underground world is really limited.
The distance from floor to ceiling is probably less than 50 meters.
This height seemed to remind Wu Di that this was not the empty outside world, but the inside of the roots of the World Tree.
The height of 50 meters is still within the range of the giant's attack.
So what Wu Di has to do is to let more players enter this world at the moment of assimilation magic.
Kill the giants who are guarding the Philosopher's Stone.
To do this, Wu Di needs to gather more players on the forum and have them wait by the edge of the Philosopher's Stone.
At the edge of the Philosopher's Stone, there is a tribe of hundreds of giants waiting for you over there.
If you don't let the players enter the battlefield in the first place, those giants will attack you, which is very dangerous.
Wu Di quickly edited a post on the forum.
[Temporary Event Announcement: Temple of the Roots of the World Tree]
"We've explored most of the World Tree's roots, and we've found the location of the Void Serpent, and we've dealt a heavy blow to it.
Now the Serpent of the Void is hovering at the entrance to the temple, gasping for breath, trying to keep our warriors from entering the temple.
The great Lord Wu Di had already disregarded his own safety and took the lead in entering the temple and opened the passage to the temple.
But now that passage has been cut off by the giants.
Grand Lord Wu Di will lead a thousand warriors to launch a fearless charge against those giants.
All players in the Dragon's Lair are requested to return to the vicinity of the nearby Wizard's Stone as soon as they see this announcement.
The moment our Great Lord Wu Di assimilated the Philosopher's Stone, I hope you can send reinforcements to the temple as soon as possible. ”
In addition to announcing the details of the event, Wu Di also released a reward announcement.
Of course, these rewards are given to more than 1,000 players who have received Adventure Missions.
Players in the Black Dragon's Lair will receive additional rewards by participating in this event and fighting the giants.
[XXX: Why is this quest only available to players in Dragon's Lair? I want to participate in this event too.] 】
[Assassin No. 37: Okay, it's been received, I'm waiting by the Philosopher's Stone now.] 】
[Matcha porridge: Is there a new event so soon? The Void Serpent hasn't been defeated yet.] 】
[Chu Yuerong: I feel that there is no way to defeat the Void Serpent in a short period of time, that guy has too many blood grooves, too thick. 】
[Monory Xiaoxing: Don't be so desperate, I feel like he's dying. 】
[hqknb: This event map is a bit rich, not only elemental monsters, but also void snakes, and even so many giants. 】
[Fire Talisman Master, Far Away: The planning team has obviously made a lot of money. 】
[I've always been me: Didn't you notice that the rewards of this mission are also rich?]
[Existence is meaning: If we occupy this Philosopher's Stone, does it mean that players in the Dragon's Lair can directly enter the temple through the Philosopher's Stone, and then walk from the temple to the entrance to attack the Void Serpent over there.] 】
[Ka Rott No1: The imagination upstairs is very rich, but I think I can try it like this. 】
[Domineering cat: Doesn't this mean that a bug is stuck? The Void Serpent can't attack us, and we can hit him casually. 】
To be honest, Wu Di didn't expect such an operation.
According to what the players say, after capturing the Philosopher's Stone, players in the Dragon's Lair can teleport directly through the Philosopher's Stone.
Then the three or four meters wide of the entrance kept attacking the Void Serpent.
And because of its size, the Void Serpent has no way to launch a counterattack against the players.
That doesn't mean that as long as the Void Serpent is stuck in the doorway, the players can attack them at will without any danger.
If this is the case, there is no need for players to fight, Wu Di feels that he can go into battle in person.
Let's give you a glimpse of the horrors of the Aeginoth Blade!
Of course, this is a matter for the future, and what Wu Di is doing now is to explore the new world inside this temple.
After everything was ready, Wu Di quickly rushed in the direction of the giant with more than a thousand players, and in order to make himself appear less obvious, Wu Di also deliberately sneaked among the players.
The players quickly charged in the direction of the giants, and the giants spotted the invasion of these uninvited guests.
The battle broke out in an instant, and the next thing was the image of the giant crushing the players and blasting the hammer.
This is also something that can't be helped, after all, there are a lot of giants, and there are hundreds of them at first glance, while there are only more than a thousand players on the player's side.
Although the players can do magic, the difference in numbers makes up for the damage done to the giants.
Wu Di didn't expect these more than 1,000 players to be able to kill these hundreds of giants.
Wu Di's goal was just to let them delay for a while and give himself a chance to get close to the Philosopher's Stone.
The plan went well, and most of the giants were attracted to the players.
And Wu Di also used the stealth mode to keep moving towards the Philosopher's Stone.
It's just that there are seven giants on the side of the Philosopher's Stone, and they don't go to the player's side to fight, but stay around the Philosopher's Stone.
But this number of giants is not much of a threat.
Wu Di directly transformed into the form of a giant dragon, and then used his claws and tails to push those giants away.
Sharp claws sliced through the giant's skin, blood spurting out of the air.
The giants shouted, raised the huge mallets in their hands, and struck at Wu Di.
More than a hundred giants Wu Di has no confidence to fight, and Wu Di still has no problem with these seven.
There was no way to kill them quickly, but after biting and striking them back.
Wu Di soon rushed to the edge of the Philosopher's Stone.
Then Wu Di did not hesitate to put his claws on the Philosopher's Stone.
Choose Assimilation!
After spending 10,000 game points.
The philosopher's stone in front of him began to gradually turn black.
Assimilation Success!
