Studying Science in the Alternate World

Chapter 237 Two Tree Kings Bring Warmth

On the Cuihai Valley battlefield, a hook lock was released from the airship, and the corpse of a black jade scorpion with 5 rings and 6 rings was caught into the airship.

Several corpses of the 7-ring black jade scorpion king were shared by several great arcane mages.

Duke also got one.

"Your Excellency Duke, my elder said that after you go back, you will send someone to bring back one of the Black Jade Scorpion King's corpses." Keyston's clansman, a 2-ring arcanist, came forward and said.

Duke nodded: "Thank Lord Keyston for me."

It took half a day for the airship battalion to completely wipe out the Black Jade Scorpion clan in Cuihai Valley, and the mercenary regiment who received the news also rushed to clean up other spirit insects.

at dusk.

The arcanists, headed by Keyston Rage, gathered around the small lake of the spiritual spring and began to discuss how to mine the spiritual spring.

"This spiritual spring has been destroyed by the earthquake. If you want to restore it to a large spiritual spring, you must clear the channel of the spiritual spring. After it is cleared, the urban construction layout of Cuihai City can be carried out according to the scale of the spiritual spring's escape. .”

Erwin said.

"There's no rush on this matter, the effect of the spirit powder will wear off soon, let's get the ancient spirit out of the spring first." Keyston waved his hand and made a decision.

"How should we deal with those two tree kings?" Aluqi, the chief director of Faling Pagoda, asked.

"If you can keep it, keep it, if you can't keep it, cut it down and make it into spiritual materials. In the future, Cuihai City will plan to build five towers, which will require a lot of materials."

"Cut it off?"

Duke raised an eyebrow.

The 3-ring tree king is of great value, and cutting it off is undoubtedly the most wasteful way to use it.

However, the tree king with 3 rings is too huge, especially when it grows next to the spiritual spring, it is really easy to hinder the mining of the spiritual spring.

In addition, the tree king with three rings can make people understand the magical mystery.

It's just that most people don't have the chance to comprehend it at all - looking at the entire Heijiaohe region, including Duke, there are definitely no more than five people who have comprehended the mystery of the 3-ring tree king-the mysterious vine.

And after realizing it, it doesn't seem to be very useful.

At least for Duke so far, the only time the Guardian Mystic Vine has played a role is when the Ocean of Insects broke out, protecting the stability of the Linghai for him. But in fact, even without the guardian-mysterious vine, the Ocean of Insects might not really be able to hurt him.

Those phantoms of the ancient times, at most, caused a certain impact on his body, making him seriously ill, and he can recover after a while of cultivation.

so.

In most cases, the arcane masters deal with the tree king with three rings, if they can be kept, they will be kept, and if they can't be kept, they will be cut off quickly and made into spiritual materials.

Duke left the lake and walked towards the first tree king.

On the edge of the spiritual spring in Cuihai Valley, there are two king trees, one on the east bank and the other on the west bank.

The king tree on the east bank is as tall as the sky, it is a pine tree that has grown for tens of thousands of years, and it is named Wannian Pine Tower; the king tree on the west bank is only 50 meters high, less than a quarter of the height of the Wannian Pine Tower , but the canopy covers the sky and the sun, and there are countless aerial roots underneath, so it is named the Shady Banyan Forest.

At this moment, Duke is standing at the root of the 3rd Ring Tree King - Wannian Pine Tower. Looking up, through the sparse branches, he can almost see the top.

The branch closest to the ground is also nearly twenty meters high.

And its roots, a large part of which have been exposed on the surface, are intertwined and have huge plate-shaped root protrusions.

Duke grabbed the tree trunk, his fighting spirit condensed in his hands, like a suction cup firmly sucking the tree trunk. Then, like an ape, he easily climbed to the first branch. This branch is at least five meters thick, but the front end has been broken off, leaving only half of it.

Standing on it is like standing on flat ground.

While other arcanists were discussing how to develop this spiritual spring by the lake, Duke simply sat cross-legged on the branch.

"Chicken, come out to work!"

Duke patted his belly, and then a big green-skinned tadpole yawned and condensed, kicking his short legs, wandering in the air: "What are you doing, isn't it time to practice!"

"Look over there."

"Which side?" The chicken followed the direction Duke pointed, and saw a small triangular lake and a large number of arcanists.

"Do you remember anything?"

"No." Chick shook his head, "What are those arcane masters doing around the small lake, are they going to take a bath?"

"You don't even know about this spiritual spring?" Duke was surprised, "Chicken, this is the spiritual spring where your grandma lives, don't you remember?"

"Ah!" Chick exclaimed, "My grandma!"

"Finally remember it."

"No!" Xiaoji said excitedly, "My grandma is looking for me to play with. I don't know what the place where my grandma lives is like!"

It rubbed its head against Duke's neck vigorously: "Duke Duke, save my grandma quickly, I want to kill my grandma!"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Duke touched the chicken's head and comforted him, "Master Keyston will help me rescue your grandma, and he will quietly send your grandma here, so now we just need to be quiet." Just wait."

"Really, that's great!"

"I have never done what I promised you."

"Duke, you are awesome!" Chick smacked on Duke's face, without spitting, only the cool and moist feeling of jade.

Duke smiled and said, "I know I'm good, so I don't want to fit together quickly. I want you to help me practice, and strive to comprehend the mystery of the two tree kings as soon as possible!"

"Yeah!" The chick bit Duke's finger.

Then it turned into a pool of green liquid and merged into Duke's body. The next moment, Duke's body changed and entered the form of an elf.

Lifting the hood of the arcane robe, Duke calmed down in this way, quietly performed the breathing method, and established breathing resonance with the 3-ring tree king-Wannian Pine Tower.

in an instant.

The breath became longer, and the quarrels of the arcanists not far away were also forgotten. The sea of ​​qi in the lower abdomen began to churn, and the whole person followed the breathing rhythm of the Wannian pine tower, entering a mysterious and mysterious realm.

His thinking seems to be transformed into a bird.

A bird flew to the edge of a circular lake, took a mouthful of water from the lake, and then sprinkled the water on its feathers.

The lake water seems to have a cleaning function, making its originally dull feathers instantly brighter.

Satisfied, the bird flew up, pooped during its ascent, and one of the seeds fell into the mud by the lake.

In the years of ignorance, the seeds germinated and grew up, and grew into towering trees like the surrounding ones.

Suddenly.

In the gap between the changes of the years, a huge monster crawled from a distance. This monster could not see the whole picture, only knew that it was like a maggot, wanting to enter the circular lake. The lake seemed to respond, rippling in circles.

Then countless spirit beasts surged from all directions, attacking the maggot monster like moths to the flame, and it is unknown how many spirit beasts died.

The maggot monster was finally defeated, and fled from this place after shedding a layer of tattered shell.

Polluted by the shells of maggots, the surrounding trees died one by one, but this pine tree survived with its last breath, breathing jade dew, bathing in sunlight, and growing vigorously together with other big trees that were born one after another.

The vicissitudes of life.

The shells of the maggots had already been buried in dust, and the circular lake had also been transformed into a triangular lake in a major earthquake.

And this pine tree finally grew into a 3-ring tree king - Wannian Pine Tower in a certain day.

At this moment, through the collision between spirituality, Duke felt the long tree-like trajectory of the Wannian Pine Cone.

It cannot think, it has no intelligence.

But I am fully enjoying all the nutrients every day, just to make myself grow bigger, bigger, and survive all kinds of disasters, still lush and green.

"call!"

Duke broke away from the positive atmosphere of the Wannian Pine Tower, his whole being was infected by this atmosphere, and his heart was full of positivity.

Trees may not have the ability to think, but they also have emotions.

"Thank you, Wannian Pine Tower, thank you for your gift. If possible, I will dissuade others from cutting you down." Duke stood up from the branch, faced the towering tree, and bowed lightly, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Just like he had comprehended the 3-ring tree king - the mysterious vine before, he now comprehended the 3-ring tree king - Wannian Pine Tower.

And got a gift from the Wannian Pine Cone.

It was in the sea of ​​air, above the clouds, another seed germinated and grew into a small pine tree. This is a spiritual seed, a gift that can only be given by a tree king—or it can be understood as a kind of projection, Duke Imprint the projection of the Wannian Pine Tower in the sea of ​​air.

The sea of ​​air changes rapidly, and the mysterious vine, the spiritual seed, which could only lie on the clouds, now sees the ten thousand-year pine tower and quickly climbs up.

Grow together with the spiritual seed of the Wannian Pine Cone.

And the next moment.

Duke suddenly felt something in his heart, sat down cross-legged again, and quietly looked inside Linghai.

There are a total of eleven kinds of visions in the spiritual sea, which arise and disappear all the time, and the guardian and mysterious vines are entangled with these visions.

At this time, in the center of the spirit core of the 2nd ring, which should have been the location of the twisted ring, a pine tree quietly grew until it grew into a towering tree.

There is no vision of the ubiquitous guardian and mysterious vines, only a lone towering pine tree standing in the center of the spirit core.

After a while.

A vague message came back from the vision of the pine tree: "Never stop! The ten thousand year old pine cone will never stop!"

"This is...the Endless Ten Thousand Years Pine Cone, which is the same...mystery as the Guardian Mystery Vine!" Duke captured the message of this new vision from the spirituality emanating from the vision of the pine tree, "Be strong and unyielding, Don't forget the original intention, this is a lock on the twisted ring!"

His true heart is hidden in the twisted ring. As long as he does not lose his true heart, he will not get lost in the path of spiritual mysteries and become a fallen demon.

But now, with the addition of Endless Ten Thousand Years Pine Cone, his heart will be better protected.

"really not bad!"

Duke in the form of an elf once again bowed to the Wannian pine cone, expressing his gratitude to this life that has lived for countless years.

Immediately, with high spirits, he jumped down from the branch.

"Duke, what are you doing?" Kylia Nutao also left the crowd and came to the bottom of the Wannian Pine Tower.

"Let me understand these two tree kings, Kylia, you might as well give it a try, maybe you will have unexpected gains." Duke said.

"Then you understand it?"

"Um."

"Ah." Kylia was taken aback, "Did you really understand it?"

"Yeah, this Ten Thousand Years Pine Cone...Forget it, I can't say it, it will affect the rhythm of your comprehension. You'd better immerse yourself in it and understand the spirituality of the Ten Thousand Years Pine Cone, so that you can get its gift. "Duke said seriously.

However, I feel that Kiria may be difficult to comprehend.

He is a fellow practitioner of the Three Seas. He possesses Qihai and can perform breathing techniques. With the help of the connection of natural forces, he can enter the same rhythm as the Wannian Pine Cone.

Coupled with the blessing of the elf form, this can be easily gifted.

Ji Liya only opened the spiritual sea, and the process of comprehending the Wannian Pine Tower can only rely on the collision of spirituality itself.

"I..." Kylia was a little unconfident, especially in front of Duke, "Let's try it first."

She has been exposed to the mysterious vine since she was a child, but she has not been able to comprehend any mysteries, let alone the Wannian Pine Tower that she has only encountered now.

"Try it, there is no loss if you succeed or fail." Duke encouraged Kiria to come to realize it now.

He also ordered the two 2-ring Eudemons knights accompanying him to protect Kiria, and then he walked to the other side of the small lake.

The common plants around here were cut down one after another by the mercenary group.

But the tree king of the 3 rings - the shade banyan forest itself is a forest of single trees, like a green forest covering the west bank of the spiritual spring.

After easily finding the trunk of the shady banyan forest, Duke quietly climbed up a branch and sat down cross-legged.

In the same way as comprehending the Wannian Pine Tower, perform the breathing method with eyes closed.

In a trance.

The familiar feeling lingered in his heart again, and he fell into the perspective of the tree king again. It seemed that the spirituality condensed in the tree king brought Duke into the vortex of time. Tens of thousands of years in a blink of an eye, directly reminiscing from the ignorant years.

At first everything was dark, and the tree king was still in the form of a seed, wrapped in a thick layer of soil around it, and couldn't even germinate.

until one day.

A big earthquake shattered the surface of the earth, and it finally got a little space, sprouted, grew, and soon grew into a forest.

Numerous spirit beasts perch around it, birds build nests on it, squirrels drill holes in it, fish play around its aerial roots when the water rises, and small animals eat its leaves to satisfy their hunger when it dries up... A tree is an ecosystem.

It is accompanied by birds, beasts, insects and fish, and feeds on sunshine, rain and dew.

The life of the shady banyan forest has just passed smoothly. It is much younger than the Wannian pine tower. It has never experienced the invasion of ancient evil things, but it sprouted in the earthquake. The spiritual spring around it has also been maintained. triangle.

Special feelings come and go quickly.

Duke opened his eyes and smiled again: "Smooth, I am in elf form, comprehending the mystery of the tree king is as harmonious as water and milk."

In the sea of ​​air.

On a single cloud, the spiritual seeds of the green banyan forest have sprouted and grown into a small banyan tree.

"There are three spiritual seeds, and I am one step closer to building an elf paradise." Duke sighed slightly in his heart, "It's a pity that elves are hard to find, and wild elves are even rarer. I've only seen Kikyo, a house elf."

Shake your head.

The next moment, with a thought in his heart, he closed his eyes and looked inside the Linghai.

The new mystery has formed a vision in the spiritual sea. It is a banyan tree growing from the ring-shaped spiritual core. The branches continue to extend, and then countless aerial roots hang down, bringing the visions of small wild flowers, ants, sea scorpions, etc. , are shrouded in the shade.

"Amiability · Shady banyan forest." Duke has already obtained the information fed back by the spirituality emanating from the banyan tree.

The Guardian·Mysterious Vine can protect Duke's spiritual sea from being impacted by the phantoms of the ancient times.

Unstoppable Wannian pine cone can protect Duke's heart and will not get lost easily.

And Affinity · Shady Banyan Forest allows his spiritual sea and spiritual core to be more compatible with spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, making it easier for him to improve his understanding of spiritual mysteries in these two aspects.

"Hmm!" Duke thought silently, "That is to say, Affinity · Shady Banyan Forest gave me a bit of talent in the field of animal taming and spiritual planting. If I tame animals or cultivate spiritual plants, I will be more talented than ordinary arcanists." Easier and easier to progress."

no doubt.

This is a very powerful "mystery".

"The three kinds of mysteries, Guardian·Mysterious Vine and Endless·Ten Thousand Years Pine Tower, have no obvious effects. Only Affinity·Green Shady Banyan Forest directly helps my practice, very good, very good!" After thinking about it, Duke clapped his hands.

Quickly removes spirit form.

It didn't reach the limit, so after the chick condensed its body, it was still full of energy: "Duke, has my grandma been rescued?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, did you see there? Lord Keystone is trying to rescue him. Don't worry, your grandma will be reunited with you soon."

"Then I'll wait!" It's about grandma, and the chick dare not have a bad mouth with Duke.

So it behaved very well for the time being, Duke patted his stomach lightly, and it quickly slammed into it, returning to the sea of ​​​​qi to recharge its batteries.

Seeing that it was getting dark.

The arcane masters by the lake have already chosen to camp, apparently tonight at the edge of the spiritual spring, they will have a long talk all night, and decide on a century-old plan to build Cuihai City.

Duke didn't join in the fun.

Instead, they are entrenched on the branches of the tree king of the third ring - the shade banyan forest, and continue to recall the scene they felt when they comprehended the mystery.

Through the tree king's spirituality, it was like turning back time, allowing him to know what happened countless years ago.

"The shell of the ancient evil in the No. 3 Variation Forest turned out to be the shell of the huge maggot monster. This ancient evil wanted to devour the spiritual spring, but was expelled by the spirit beast. The shell that was left behind for thousands of years It can still have bad effects.”

However, the scene of perception was blurred, and Duke could only see the outline of this ancient evil thing clearly.

"I don't know if this kind of ancient evil has survived until now. If there is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

That maggot monster was exiled by countless spirit beasts with flesh and blood, and the number of deaths may be incalculable.

Even so, it only shed a layer of shell and left calmly, which shows how powerful the ancient evil is.

"It gives me the feeling that Loren Sangovi might not be able to handle it."

Facing the 9-ring sub-dragon - Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, Loren Shangewei was like a god, killing wantonly, just like ordinary people killing a chicken.

However, in the blurry picture of ten thousand years ago, among the spirit beasts besieging that ancient evil, there are many sub-dragons. However, it is still necessary to rely on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood to fill the gap between them. It can be seen that the methods of the ancient evil are much stronger than the morning star's arcane teacher.

"Forget it, why think too much, the sky is falling and there is a tall man holding it up. The storm calendar has been opened for more than 4,400 years. Human beings have conquered countless lands in the wild forest and established eighteen kingdoms... ancient evil things I'm afraid it will rot in time."

Now is the age of mankind.

...

"Duke, where did you go, I didn't see you in the meeting just now." Kiston was eating barbecue by the campfire, and asked Duke who had just rushed over with Kylia.

Taking a look at the two of them, Keyston said seriously: "I have no objection to you having an affair with Kylia, but don't make mistakes under my nose. The daughter of the Nutao family will never allow you to marry before you get married. Meng Lang acted!"

Ji Liya was embarrassed, and lowered her head and replied: "Grandpa, what are you talking about! Duke and I have been comprehending the tree king with three rings."

"Really." Keyston was dubious.

"Yes, Lord Keyston, that's all." Duke responded indifferently. As for things like holding hands and kissing, it is obviously not a mistake.

"You two, have you realized anything?" Keyston asked instead.

Kylia suddenly showed a sweet smile: "I didn't realize anything, but Duke did. Grandpa and Duke both realized it."

"Oh, really?" Keyston was taken aback, very surprised, "Is your understanding already exaggerated to this extent?"

Duke smiled and replied: "It's not that my comprehension is too exaggerated, but that I am a 2-ring elf envoy. After establishing breathing resonance with the tree king, it is easy to get the tree king's gift, so as to comprehend the tree king's gift." mystery."

In his opinion, the so-called mystery of the tree king is not a mystery.

It is a spiritual projection.

In the thousands of years of time, the tree king has condensed spirituality to the extreme, which has produced many incredible effects.

With the help of breath resonance, he can easily project this effect into the sea of ​​qi and the sea of ​​spirit.

The real spiritual sea of ​​nature is projected in the human body, producing a spiritual sea; the rich spirituality of the tree king with three rings can also be projected in the human body. This projection is the cause of the spiritual seed, and the so-called Tree King Mystery.

"Fellow practitioners in the three seas really have an advantage!" Kiston said with emotion, "When you break through the spiritual fog and become a great arcane mage, you may be able to start refining the sea of ​​energy and the sea of ​​blood into arcane weapons. Produce two extraordinary arcane weapons!"

"Everything is a spiritual guide."

"Tsk tsk."

Looking at Duke who looked calm and breezy, Kiston felt a little sour in his heart. The spirituality of Heijiaohe was one stone, and eight fights might fall on Duke.

...

After the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon was dealt with lightly by Loren Sangovi, there was no place for spirit beasts to stand in Cuihai Valley, and the urban construction of Cuihai City officially started.

Countless airships flew to Cuihai Valley, transporting materials, puppets, and personnel.

The nearby Sheshou Town once again ushered in an outbreak of crowds, and businessmen from the entire Fengxi field who had heard the news were rushing here.

There are too many stakes involved in building a city from scratch.

The Giant of Light Spirit Tool Company under Duke also participated in the construction of Cuihai City, and the lighting fixtures of all official buildings were contracted by the Giant of Light. In addition, the Giant of Light also continues to compete with Runwanjia Spiritual Tool Factory in other spiritual tool products.

Now that Duke's status has skyrocketed, he is already on an equal footing with the great arcane mage, and even the giant of light is also rising.

Completely crushed Runwanjia.

However, as the chairman of the board, Duke didn't worry about these specific matters at all. He always followed behind Keyston Raging Wave.

A team led by the great Austrian mage, led by Keyston, personally drove a group of diving puppets into the spiritual spring to clear the spring water channel, and explored the surroundings through the spring water channel to roughly determine how many small springs there are around.

Often around a large spiritual spring, there will be a large number of small spiritual springs.

Wait until April day.

Duke finally waited for the good news that the diving puppet operation team had completed the first round of exploration of this large spiritual spring.

Fourteen small springs in the surrounding area were found.

These fourteen small springs are all places where mage towers can be built in the future, and each spring is priceless.

"It's more than expected. Originally, I thought ten small springs would be enough, but I didn't expect there were four more." Keyston was very happy, "And the spiritual throughput of the large springs is even higher than that of the springs in Shenjiao City. It is quite high, and it is a good spring for building a city!"

He first looked at Duke: "Are you going to continue using your teacher's mage tower, or are you going to rebuild a new mage tower in Cuihai City?"

"I plan to build a new mage tower." Duke responded.

The Suktara Mage Tower has been transferred to his name, but he still decided to build a new Mage Tower in Cuihai Valley.

The reason is simple, the mage tower built by the 3-ring arcane mage is no longer worthy of his status as a learned sage.

That's why he discussed with his teacher Suktala to reform the Suktala Mage Tower, fully open it to the outside world, and embrace the new system of industry, education and research. In the future, even if both Suktara and Duke leave, this mage tower can still flourish.

"Then there is a spring, you must fight for it, and don't let that old Bernoulli take it." Keyston spread out the hand-drawn map.

In the southwest corner of Cuihai Valley, there are two small springs close together.

Keyston smiled brightly: "We will help you grab one of the springs, so that the other spring will be reserved for you temporarily because it is too close and no one will fight for it. Sooner or later, you will need it The second spring eye."

This is exactly the same as the development of the Keystone Mage Tower.

At that time, the Nutao family took a fancy to two small springs next to each other, and decisively took them down, which developed into the scale of the mountain city it is today.

Listen to people's advice to eat enough.

Duke nodded again and again: "Okay, I will choose this spring!"

After a pause, he looked at Keyston expectantly again: "My lord, you didn't forget to rescue Xiaoji's grandma during your dive exploration, right?"

"Hey, how could I forget the ancient spirit!" Keyston took out a fist-sized crystal ball from his pocket.

Throw it to Duke.

Duke took the crystal ball with both hands, and saw an ancient spirit in the shape of a trilobite wandering in the crystal ball at a glance.

The whole body is outlined by fluorescent light, and it is the same life form as the big iron-headed fish and the big dragonfly Das he has seen.
