Above the Seven Towers

Two days later, a team of six began to go deep underground. In addition to the three elves Xiao Chen, Roger, and Elena, there was also a dark elf high-level ranger Evelyn.

Evelyn had gray-brown skin, white hair with a simple pigtail, and she wore black chain armor, holding a delicate brown short bow in her hand. She is the best hunter and tracker of the Dark Elves, and has entered that strange space twice.

"Everyone, the place we are going to is in the middle and lower part of the largest root of the world tree. You can understand the specific situation." Evelyn didn't speak much, gave a simple explanation, and took everyone to the underground Advance.

The road to the underground is a tunnel spiraling downwards. There are crystals above the tunnel to provide lighting. There are many forks in the road, some are paths to different places, and some lead to the home of the dark elves.

Just like the high elves built the house on the tree, the dark elves like to dig the inhabited cave between the roots of the world tree. They will use magic to harden the walls of these caves, then install some simple furnishings, and then they can move in. The underground soil can not withstand too dense excavation, so their residences are often dug scattered, and then these small residential caves will be connected by roads. There will also be one or two large hollows at every distance. This is the public space of the nearby dark elves, which is used as a temple, market, library and training ground. This formed a large-scale underground city, just like the other side of the king above.

Since the world tree grows by absorbing the magic power of the earth and the air, rather than absorbing nutrients from the soil, its roots are no problem even if it is exposed to the air. Several people in Xiao Chen marched through the underground passages and hollows, often seeing the roots that penetrated the space.

The roots of the world tree are very different from ordinary roots. They have a jade-like crystal sensation, and there are often magical fluorescent flows on them. It is a source of energy like a magic crystal, and it can be used for lighting, heating, planting, and even cultivation by extracting a little energy from it.

"These roots are full of magical power, and it must be good to make a magic wand?" Xiao Chen touched a tree root and felt cool with his hand.

"Yes, both the branches of the world tree and the roots are good materials for making magic props. But the main root system like this is not allowed to be felled, only the newly grown branches on the canopy, or the new growth in the fringe The roots can only be taken down to make magic items. But the number collected every year will not exceed ten. "Elena explained," Evelyn's bow arm is made of the root of the world tree, right? "

Evelyn, who was at the forefront, turned her head and nodded, "The first prize in the insecticide competition."

"There are rootworms now? Isn't it that they have been wiped out many years ago?" Xiao Chen asked.

"It's not rootworms. The abundant energy of the world tree can make many insects in nature mutate. Some will become huge, some will become amazingly bite, and some will even evolve magical powers. These bugs like Nibble the roots of the energy-rich world tree. "

Xiao Chen was curious about these insects capable of eating the world tree, but he walked to his destination, and no insects jumped out.

auzw.com Evelyn understood his thoughts and looked around, saying: "This road has gone a lot lately, and worms have been killed."

About half an hour down, they came to the strange empty entrance. The space outside the entrance was obviously temporarily expanded, forming a small square, where the roots of the tree are dense, and the roots of large and small branches penetrate from the top of the square to the ground, both like a pipe in the factory and a cave The stone pillar divides the space into small pieces. The entrance to the hollow was blocked by a screen.

There are many signs of camping in this space. The high elves lived in green tents with gold borders and patterns, but the dark elves were covered with quick cloth on the ground, and a hammock between the roots of the trees could sleep. However, Xiao Chen found that all the tents and floors had just moved, and moved away from the hole as much as possible, and the empty space in the space left a lot of messy traces. However, although there are many camp tents, there are not many elves actually moving in this area, and the elves do not know where they are going.

Greeting Xiao Chen and his entourage was a high elf general named Nord.

"The elders have finally acted, I said long ago, and it's not a way to wait like this." General Nord looks very young, but several scars on his face show that he has experienced a brutal battle. The warrior, "Dear Elena, you are finally back and brought me Dining and Maya. It seems that Saint Dahni has no words and sent all three gems of the Golden Year."

"Uncle Nord. These two are Xiao Chen and Roger. The elders are the best wizards and warriors selected from the many alien warriors who came to support." Elena said.

She also said to Xiao Chen: "Uncle Nord is the most powerful swordsman below the Holy Order. He has participated in the war with the Black Dragon Empire and is also the cousin of my teacher. He grew up watching us. I have learned a lot of martial arts. "

General Nord looked at Xiao Chen and Roger, "Well, humans are indeed a good choice. Whether we like humans or not, humans are the most powerful race in the world. Welcome you, young people."

Xiao Chen and Roger saluted General Yun, and Xiao Chen asked, "My Excellency, I see that many elves are preparing to evacuate? What happened here?"

General Nord said in a deep voice: "You are keen. That's right, this is exactly what I want to say. Just yesterday the situation has changed again."

"Change? No one has notified us, and the teacher didn't mention it when he sent us over," Elena said.

"Because it happened late last night, I haven't had time to inform the Council of Elders." General Nord looked back at the hole and said, "Did you feel that pressure? It's getting stronger."

"Are you talking about the weird pressure that convinces you? I feel it. It's like a voice has been saying something in my ear repeatedly, but I can't hear what it says specifically. I just feel it instinctively Very kind and reasonable. "Elena said.

The other two also agreed to nod, Di Ning said: "It is not difficult for my mental strength to contend with it now, but if it continues, I will definitely be very tired."
