Lord of Plenty
Chapter 42: The Core of the Ruins
The roots of the Mother Tree of Life have spread here?
Kun couldn't help but be a little shocked. You know, this is the Ever Dark Forest. The burned remains of the Mother Tree of Life, the 'Big Black Mountain', are in the center of the Forbidden Scorched Earth, and there is a Plenty Territory between the two. The distance between the two is at least 700 to 800 kilometers.
It is hard to imagine where the Mother Tree of Life spread its roots. Could it be that the entire Eternal Forest, which is now the northern region of the Kingdom of Dansu, was covered?
As a fertility wizard who has cultivated many precious potions, Kun knows that for a plant, the above-ground part is only a small part of the whole.
The lush branches and leaves and the abundant fruits are just appearances. What really matters is whether the roots are firmly rooted and whether the root system is developed. Even if the above-ground part is destroyed, as long as the roots are still there, it will grow back sooner or later. The importance of roots is the same as the heart of an animal.
Picking up a piece of root debris from the ground, Kun injected the unique and vigorous magic power of the Abundance Mage into it, and soon he opened his eyes with regret.
"Even my Abundance Magic Power can't awaken the vitality of these roots."
"It's not just that the roots are burned and withered, it's more like a powerful curse. Life, soul, and even genetic fragments are all destroyed. This is the first time I have seen such a thorough death."
Purely dead mother tree of life, two unrelated and even contradictory words, Kun saw it with his own eyes on a piece of plant fragment with the strongest vitality on the Yongxu Continent. This strong shock to the soul made Kun lose his mind for a while.
What kind of powerful existence can overturn and destroy the ancient elf dynasty that was in its heyday overnight, and what kind of majestic power can burn the mother tree of life to ashes, leaving no trace of life.
In a trance, Kun saw the raging sea of fire that swept across the entire northern region. The great life that towered into the sky wailed in the sea of fire, unwilling to die, but was broken in half by another terrifying existence and pushed down in the sea of fire.
Since then, the core area of the entire ancient elven dynasty has been turned into a forbidden scorched earth, and nothing exists. Only the innocent creatures who died tragically in the disaster have turned into skeletons and ghosts and wandered on the scorched earth day and night, never resting.
Unfortunately, there are countless people on the continent who are tirelessly pursuing the magic tools and treasures left by the ancient elves, but there are very few people who want to trace the truth of the ancient elves' demise.
First of all, human countries do not have much demand for this. Compared with studying these alien histories that have been buried in the land for thousands of years and have nothing to do with themselves, the nobles are more concerned about what to wear today and whether the dinner dishes are to their taste.
Secondly, the elves who may really know the truth of this history regard talking about this matter as a taboo among taboos.
There are three ways to anger an elf on the continent. First, give the elf a graffiti and say it is his portrait. Second, enter the elf's room without changing shoes, scatter a handful of beans in his room, and then run away. Third, talk about the ancient elves in front of the elf and tell him that the ancient tree of life in your forest is fake, a forgery that no one knows where it came from.
The first two may still be redeemed, but if you commit the third, not only will you not be friends, you may also be put on the collective blacklist of the elves and will never be allowed to step into the forest of elves.
Because for the elves on the Yongxu continent now, the existence of ancient elves is the history of humiliation and slavery of their clan. Talking about ancient elves in person is no different from pointing at the noses of these elves and scolding them, "Your ancestors were pigs", and it is even worse.
Because for the ancient elves, the modern elves were their slaves at the beginning, and the elves in the past were called sub-elves.
Refer to the attitude of humans in Yongxu Continent towards sub-humans, and then refer to the attitude of Blue Star towards gorillas and bananas, it is conceivable how miserable the elves were at that time.
Even Kun suspected that these modern elves must have played an important role in the collapse of the ancient elven dynasty, and it was an extremely disgraceful role. Otherwise, how could the elven dynasty, which was still in its heyday at that time, be destroyed so quickly and so thoroughly.
Destruction from within is often more hidden and more thorough.
In the tunnel opened by the earth dragon, everyone walked for a full half a quarter of an hour. Later, there was no dividing line between the tree roots, and they were all integrated. Everyone seemed to be walking through a thick wooden wall. Kun also had a new understanding of the term "root system".
"Be careful, the smell of blood here is getting stronger and stronger."
Sniffing the turbid air hard, Kun looked at Dawn's back not far ahead in surprise. It really deserves to be a warrior system based on improving physical fitness. Even if it is just a third-level warrior, he is no match for a legendary wizard like him. They are all dog noses.
What bloody smell? He smelled nothing but sawdust and moss.
"It's the end."
Finally reaching the end of the root barrier, Kun couldn't help but feel relieved. For others, the 'wooden wall' had no other disadvantages except being narrow, but for Kun, the fertility mage, it was like a fanatic walking on the corpse of a god. Every step was full of depression and torment.
Behind the ‘wooden wall’ was a ground full of bones. Everyone seemed to have come to the bone plain on the ground of the ruins again. However, unlike the mountain of animal bones piled up by the blood-horrifying demon wolf, the bones here were all human-shaped, most of them wearing gorgeous armor, and there were many giant boulders scattered on the ground, as if they had accidentally entered a mass grave, with tombs without tombstones all over the ground.
“Zheng!”
The guards led by Dawn drew their swords one after another, and vigilantly surrounded a meat mountain that suddenly appeared in everyone’s field of vision. The appearance was like an armadillo magnified hundreds of times, with a small head, curled into a ball, and countless sharp stone protrusions on the back, shining with a metallic luster. Those were pure magic ore swallowed and spit out by the gold-eating earth dragon.
A warrior approached the earth dragon’s head and carefully poked it a few times with a sword, but the earth dragon did not react.
"Captain, this big guy seems to be dead?"
Dawn said unhappily:
"I'm not blind. Go check the fatal wounds on this earth dragon and see what killed it."
This gold-eating earth dragon was covered with wounds of all sizes, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground. The wounds caused by the blood-terror wolf could not heal naturally, and would cause the prey to bleed until the physical strength was exhausted. This is also an important reason why the blood-terror wolf is notorious on the continent.
In addition to the wounds caused by the magic wolf, the soldiers of the guard team also found many marks of swords, guns and axes on the earth dragon's body. These wounds were not caused by the magic wolf. In addition, there were some marks of blunt weapons hitting, and half of the magic mine armor on the back of the earth dragon was broken.
"Are these wounds left by the mercenaries of the Ice Fang Mercenary Group before? It seems a little wrong."
Dawn was a little confused. Could those second-rate mercenaries of the Ice Fang Mercenary Group really cause any substantial damage to this earth dragon?
You have to know that his full-strength attack on this earth dragon with amazing defense is just like tickling. Not to mention cutting the flesh, in fact, his sword did not even break the layer of "magic ore armor" on the earth dragon's back.
Kun said in a deep voice:
"No need to guess, it was done by the undead."
As soon as he stepped into here, he felt a huge breath of undead. Although he could not smell any blood, Kun was also sensitive to the breath of undead that was completely opposite to the power of life. It was like a torch in the dark night, so obvious that Kun could not ignore it even if he wanted to.
"Undead? Where?"
Dawn looked alert, and the other warriors all looked at each other, and they were very alert, fearing that they would be tricked by those ghosts again.
Kun pointed at the bones on the ground with his chin, "Didn't you see them? Aren't they right under your feet?"
"Lord, are you saying that all these bones are undead?"
A soldier retreated again and again, looking back from time to time, as if he was afraid that these bones would suddenly get up from the ground and stab him in the back.
"What are you afraid of? Nothing in this world is truly immortal. Undead are just negative energy creatures that are difficult to kill by conventional means. And didn't you see that these skeletons died in the hands of the earth dragon? If the undead die again, they will be completely extinct and will never have a chance to live again."
Kun added in his heart that unless he learned the true teachings of Master Tom and could make the Deathly Hallows, it would be fine.
"So that's how it is. I told you to scare me."
The soldier kicked the skull at his feet like a ball and flew far away, venting his anger on these poor 'puppets' that could no longer move.
Dawn frowned when he saw this. No matter what the reason was, it was his taboo to blaspheme the dignity of a warrior, even if it was a dead warrior. However, Lord Kun did not say much. He was no longer the captain of the guard team and was no longer qualified to point fingers at them and reprimand them for their improper behavior.
Kun saw all this, and his heart was calm. He just lamented that his guard team might lose another person.
He was not a warrior, and he did not have the awareness of a warrior. It was just a skull. Not to mention a warrior, even if it was a dragon's head, what could it do? If it could be used as a magical experimental material, he would not mind collecting all the bones on the ground and using them for experiments. How could blaspheming a dead person who could not perceive anything be as serious as blaspheming the truth?
Although Kun did not mind, there were people who would help him mind, such as old Tate.
Although he is not here, Kun knows that when these people return to the Plenty Territory, Old Tate will definitely find a way to make the process of this experience clear. For example, although there is no problem with the kick of this warrior this time, it is hard to guarantee that it will cause any big trouble next time.
The duty of the guard is to protect, and because of the personal behavior of the guard, the entire team and even the people who need to be protected are in crisis. This is a serious dereliction of duty.
Old Tate's eyes can't tolerate a grain of sand, especially when this grain of sand may fall on Kun.
"My lord, please come and see, I seem to have discovered how this earth dragon died."
The earth dragon is in a ball. Kun thought it was just a natural posture after the death of the gold-eating earth dragon. However, when Kun saw the dark golden dragon egg that was tightly protected by the earth dragon in the center, and the terrifying hole that went straight through the heart, Kun realized that the earth dragon was in a ball, which was a defensive posture, and obviously, she failed. Not only did she die, but the dragon egg was also affected. The egg liquid was left all over the ground, and it had completely lost its vitality.
"What a horrible blow."
Dawn's face was extremely ugly. He was the only one who had fought with this earth dragon and knew how terrifying it was. However, such a powerful being was killed by one blow and could only wait for death passively. Dawn could not imagine what kind of being could do this.
Sure enough, this world is very big.
Even the u003d capital only gathers some elites in a kingdom. If he is complacent because of his fame in the capital, his journey as a warrior will probably stop here.
After witnessing the overwhelming power of the fourth-level ancient dragon, Kun, the legendary wizard who could kill a high-level monster with one blow, and the corpse of the earth dragon in front of him, Dawn did not feel the slightest fear. Instead, he once again strengthened his belief in the warrior path and was full of fighting spirit. Dawn had never been so eager for the day when he would truly step into the realm of heroes.
Only when he steps into that supreme realm will he be qualified to challenge for a fair fight. Now, he is standing outside the gate, and he is not even qualified to look up at the scenery inside the gate.
Kun stared at the corpse of the gold-eating earth dragon, and couldn't understand why she didn't take the opportunity to leave here when she had already taken back her eggs, but instead went deep into the core area of the ruins and lost her life here.
It is not impossible that this earth dragon got lost, but it is impossible for it to not be able to tell the difference between wooden walls and soil, and drill all the way here.
What special thing here is attracting this gold-eating earth dragon, which makes it ignore its own injuries and even life and death!
After figuring out the key, Kun's eyes lit up and looked in the direction where the earth dragon was moving.
There must be a secret hidden there.
Maybe it is the real treasure in this ruins. After all, the ancient elves went to great lengths to build such a huge ruin underground. It is totally unlike the buildings that can be used by elves. They even used the roots of the mother tree of life as one of the defense means of the ruins. The specifications are so high that it is beyond imagination.
"Let's go over there."
Kun is already impatient to know the secrets in this ruins. For a wizard, there is no wealth more important than knowledge.
And secrets are often synonymous with knowledge, or that kind of unknown special knowledge, which has extremely high research value.
