Chapter 67: The Gate of the Jungle
Misty forest.
This is a very vast primeval forest, and there is also the Wandering Forest similar to it. Both of these places are places where special creatures exist. Sauron's current location is full of intertwined ancient trees. The branches of the trunks in front of him form the shape of a gate. It looks ordinary, but after walking in, it is another world.
This is called [The Gate of the Jungle].
The gift left over from the natural pantheon is also a world cultivated by tree people.
In other words, here is an independent half-plane, a special half-plane built on the material plane and connected to the elemental plane with the foggy forest as the foundation. This is the central area near the foggy forest. The surrounding fog will affect other people's sanity, and even make high-level professionals have hallucinations. Usually, very few people can come here. This time, Sauron also stopped by to see if he could Can't get any special benefits.
The gates of the jungle are special demiplanes.
Its existence is based on a huge root of an ancient tree. This ancient tree of inestimable age has died, but the root still has a huge power, so the "Nature Guardian" transformed this place into an independent semi-ancient tree. plane. Even Feral Druids must obtain the collective consent of the members of the High Council before they can enter it. Because this is the sleeping place of many treants, and there is a great secret hidden inside the gate of the jungle.
Here is the legendary large-scale dungeon of that year.
The so-called copy is actually the name of adventurers. Many things in this world cannot be copied. The concept of "copy" is just a joke.
There are almost very few dungeons with records, and basically the team challenge level is above level 15.
and.
Most of the places that can be called 'duplicates' are independent demiplanes.
For example, the Mordo city that Sauron now rules, and the wizard tower in the shadow plane. The demiplane of war chess, the secret laboratory, etc., these places are replaced by the previous words, and almost all of them are legendary challenge dungeons.
The gate of the jungle has not yet mutated.
After the saint catastrophe broke out, many places were irreparably damaged due to huge energy fluctuations, and the battle of the gods left the material plane riddled with holes. So some kind of terrible upheaval happened at the gate of the jungle in the future, so that the treants here were affected by violent power. The fire from Baator hell affected the sanity of the treants, making them hate those who destroy nature, In the future, the entire foggy forest will become a dangerous zone with a challenge level of 12 or higher.
certainly.
Now it is relatively peaceful here, the gate of the jungle has not been destroyed, and the structure of the demiplane is still very stable.
One of the reasons why Sauron came here in person.
Just want to sneak into the jungle gate. Here's something he's also interested in.
A strange thing that can improve attributes!
As mentioned earlier, there are very few things that can increase attributes in the entire material plane, and such things are very precious even for gods. Just inside the gate of the jungle, there is such a thing, and its value to Sauron is quite astonishing!
but. It was chaotic here.
If he sneaks in now, he is still a little worried that he will alarm the nature guardian with a career level of 36, but it is worth taking a little risk.
——"Saint form!"
——"Wanderer [Clerical Domain]!"
The rogue's priesthood domain can give Sauron an extra stealth bonus, and he carefully perceives his surroundings. Then slowly step into the gate made of branches in front of you.
space warp.
In the blink of an eye, Sauron had already appeared in another space.
There are lush trees everywhere in front of you. Unlike the ones that have been destroyed in memory and are full of burned dead wood, the current gate of the jungle is full of vitality. At the farthest point of Sauron's line of sight, there was an oak tree hundreds of meters high. This is an oak wise man with a challenge level of 21, and one of the guardians left over from the natural pantheon.
treant.
This special form of life species, although they rarely show up in the eyes of others, still retains some extremely powerful creatures.
Tree people can also advance to professionals.
If Sauron remembers correctly, the occupation level of the sleeping oak tree wise man in front of him is - level 10 druid/level 10 tree shepherd/level 5 oak wise man/level 1 nature guardian.
The total career level is 26 and the challenge level is 21.
Treants can receive natural gifts over time. Many of them are born with the abilities of druids and special advanced professional tree shepherds. If they do not have obvious weaknesses, their challenge level will be higher.
Inside the Jungle Gate is quiet.
There are not too many animals living here, only countless ancient trees exist, and ordinary people will feel drunk when they come in.
Most of it is oak.
Oak is one of the trees that are most likely to produce treants. Relying on the perception of gods, Sauron can easily find at least a dozen treants with a creature level of 10 or higher nearby.
A clear river flows down from a distant mountain.
Sauron carefully avoided the perception of the tree man, and then gradually went deep into the gate of the jungle.
This place has not been destroyed by the war, so the map in memory is useless at all, and there is still a quiet and peaceful paradise in front of me, where the tree people are sleeping quietly.
"Clack!"
"Don't make trouble! Talindi! If you are naughty again, I will be angry!"
Crisp laughter came from the front, Sauron escaped into the shadow vigilantly, and then approached little by little.
Three moving and beautiful figures appeared in front of them.
They look a bit like elves in appearance, wearing beautiful long dresses in red, yellow, and green. They are sitting and playing by the river at the moment, and their graceful bodies are full of indescribable charm.
dryad.
One of the denizens of the Jungle Gate.
If the flames of war have not spread here, then most of the dryads here have not died, so this should be the place where the most dryads live on the material plane.
They are companions of ancient trees, beautiful darlings born naturally.
Dryads can't leave their accompanying ancient trees for too long, so the ancient trees they rely on should be nearby. Sauron watched quietly for a while, and didn't disturb these playful beautiful dryads, but continued to go deeper along the river. Inside the Jungle Gate.
deepest here.
It is also the place where the guardian of nature sleeps. There is a special pool left over from the ancient times. The essence of life will be bred in it. The outside world is used to calling it the "water of life".
This is Sauron's goal.
A special miraculous item that can permanently increase one's own lifespan and an additional 1 point of physical strength.
Sauron's current physique is 24 points.
As the professional level gets higher and higher, it becomes more difficult to obtain attribute points. If he can get the water of life in advance, then he can directly obtain the ability of epic physique.
and.
Lifespan and youthfulness may be nothing to gods, but to other creatures, they are things of inestimable value.
As a saint incarnate as a god, the only thing that can threaten Sauron here are those powerful natural guardians.
