Beauty and the Bodyguard

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yi secretly prepared to jump down, but then he realized that something was wrong. This tree hole was actually unusually deep!

When I observed it outside before, although this cedar tree was huge and unique in Banyue Lake, its height was only fifty or sixty meters in total. However, judging from the feeling of Lin Yi jumping down at this moment, it was at least a hundred meters tall. The distance, to be prepared, is about 150 meters.

If Lin Yi hadn't stepped on the cave wall in time to slow down, he would have suffered internal injuries from falling from such a height.

boom! With a muffled sound, Lin Yi fell to the ground and stirred up dust. The bottom of the cave was unexpectedly dry.

The visible area is completely empty. Since the cave walls and ground cloth are inhabited by the same fluorescent microorganisms as those in Half Moon Lake outside, it is like a spiritual jade mine inlaid with fluorite, and the visibility is quite high.

But this way, Lin Yi felt even more vigilant.

Not surprisingly, he is currently at the bottom of the lake, which means that this giant cedar tree does not grow above the lake surface as seen before, but starts to grow from the bottom of the lake. What they saw outside just now, It's just a small part of the top of this giant cedar tree.

There were tree trunks at least a hundred meters below the water, running directly from the bottom of the lake to the surface. Although Lin Yi had seen many strange creatures, he had never seen or heard of such a thing.

It is worthy of being an ancient tree that has existed since the discovery of Half Moon Lake. It is thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. If it were replaced by a spiritual beast or something, it would already be a powerful and invincible existence. Unfortunately, this is just a tree. tree.

In the empty tree hole, Lin Yi was about to investigate, when a voice suddenly sounded, which made his hair stand on end.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a living person. It's been three years now. I've been lonely for so long and finally waited for someone. I can finally be happy today." The voice came from all directions in the tree hole, and it was hard to distinguish. Is it a man or a woman? Jie Jie couldn't stop laughing.

Lin Yi's muscles tensed up instantly, but his face remained calm as he said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" The voice paused, and then seemed to be a little distressed and said: "I have thought about this question for a long time, but I have never been able to figure it out. Forget it, let's not think about such an annoying question. It's a rare opportunity. , let’s play a game first.”

"What game?" Lin Yi's heart trembled.

"First of all, let me ask you, are you here to find the Millennium Tree Crystal?" the voice suddenly asked.

"Not bad." Lin Yi nodded. Thousand-year tree crystals were the core material that Shangguan Lan'er planned to use to make weapons, and it was also the main purpose of their trip.

Documents record that thousand-year-old tree crystals are very rare treasures of heaven and earth. Only a few extremely spiritual tree species can condense them after thousands of years of long life. They are truly the essence of the sun and the moon. , a priceless treasure that captures the creation of heaven and earth.

Even in Back Mountain, which has countless treasures, there are only a handful of places where it is possible to find Millennium Tree Crystals. And on the outskirts of Back Mountain, there is only Banyue Lake, which shows how rare Millennium Tree Crystals are.

In fact, after learning the news, not only for Shangguan Lan'er, but also for himself, Lin Yi had to take this risk, because the Millennium Tree Crystal has a very rare and rare use, which is to use it to improve the quality of weapons during the casting process. grade!

Since coming to Tianjie Island, because they have been staying in Yingxin Pavilion, Lin Yi and other newcomers have almost never used magical weapons. First of all, this is strictly prohibited in Yingxin Pavilion, otherwise it will be used in battles. As for weapons, a large number of newcomers will die in the challenge alone.

Secondly, the heaven-level magic weapon cannot withstand the true energy of the foundation-building stage. Injecting true energy will directly destroy it.

Therefore, the stainless steel staff in Lin Yi's hand has never been shown, and it is of no use for the time being. Naturally, there is no idea of ​​​​upgrading it.

Even after meeting the Forger King in Fangshi, although they had an agreement with each other, Lin Yi was not in a hurry to put the matter on the agenda. After all, while dealing with the assessment of newcomers, he also had to cultivate the Heart-Eating Exquisite Grass and try to refine it. While making the Fund Pill, he also needed to be on guard against trouble caused by people like Nantianmen. Lin Yi had not been idle during this period.

However, now that he has happened to meet him, Lin Yi will naturally not let this opportunity go. No matter what, he will inevitably use weapons when fighting against others in the future, and if the stainless steel staff is always only a heaven-level weapon, it will obviously It is far from enough, and it is imperative to improve the level.

Under normal circumstances, once a weapon is cast, it means that it has been finalized, and there is no possibility of changing it, unless it is destroyed and rebuilt. However, in that case, only some main materials can be extracted, such as fine steel, black iron, etc. Most of the auxiliary materials Materials are going to waste!

However, the existence of Thousand-Year Tree Crystal is an exception. It can not only improve the grade of the weapon when it is forged, but even the weapon that has been finalized can also have a chance to advance.

It's only once, but it's very rare.

Therefore, whether it is for Shangguan Lan'er or for himself, Lin Yi is bound to get the Millennium Tree Crystal.

The ghostly voice sounded again: "As long as you can win the next game, I can give you a thousand-year tree crystal."

"Two!" Lin Yi said without raising his head.

Although I still don’t know who the other party is, judging from the tone of the other party and what he just said, it should be a powerful spiritual beast hiding here. Maybe it is the guardian spirit beast that Lin Yi had speculated before, but for some reason I can't leave here, so I say things like loneliness.

Since the other party proposed to play a game, it at least meant that he had no intention of fighting with him for the time being. Lin Yi knew that with his current strength, if he wanted to fight against this unknown spiritual beast with no head or tail, the winning rate would be very low. It's pitiful, but if you agree to the other party's game request, there might be a chance of success.

However, it is not Lin Yi's style to be led by the opponent so easily. Even if he cannot formulate the rules of the game, he has to find them from other places.

"Two? Jie Jie, although his strength is pitifully weak, he is really a greedy guy." The voice laughed strangely for a while, and then said: "It doesn't matter, I have been lonely for so long, just think of it as a reward for you. As long as you win, two thousand-year-old tree crystals will be given to you."

"It's a deal." Lin Yi nodded calmly, but he was shocked in his heart.

What he just said was just a casual mention, a simple test. Deep down in his heart, he didn't think that two rare treasures like the Millennium Tree Crystal would appear at the same time, but he didn't expect that the other party actually agreed.
