Chapter 165 The Ancient Tree of Knowledge That Was Intercepted

Chapter 165 The Ancient Tree of Knowledge that was intercepted...

After returning to the Elf Forest, Mu You asked Lin Xue and Xiao Ya to go to the Qing Nang Tribe together.

The trolls were not of low level and had many talents. It would be difficult for him to capture them alive, so he asked the two to help.

Xiao Ya's mount was a Night Blade Leopard that she had persuaded, a creature that was a specialty of the forest elves. It could be used as a mount and had good combat capabilities.

The two girls, one riding a leopard and the other riding a broom, made Mu You, who only had a donkey, very envious and more determined to train a chocobo as soon as possible.

Mu You told them the location, and the two of them rushed to the Qing Nang Tribe first, while he went to the Spindle Granny's house and handed in the next task.

【You handed 42 pieces of spider silk cotton to the Spindle Granny. Granny was very happy and praised you for being a good child. She said that if you have any clothes that need repairing in the future, you can come to her. She also gave you a pair of "exquisite gloves" as a gift. 】

【Exquisite gloves: Make your weapon skills more dexterous and delicate. When using long-range weapons such as bows, guns, and wands, the range increases by 15%; when using melee weapons such as swords, claws, and spears, the attack speed increases by 15%. 】

Mu You took it out and took a look. This is a pair of gloves woven with animal skins and cotton silk. It is thin and breathable, and the surface emits a hint of green light, indicating that this is a fine-grade equipment. The increase is not high, only 15%, but it is very versatile and useful for both melee and long-range combat.

As a free gift, Mu You of course accepted it with pleasure and immediately equipped the game character with it.

【The spindle grandmother took your fishing net and started working. Repairing, expected to be completed in 10 hours...】

Ten hours, it will take until tomorrow to get it back. Mu You left the old man's house and rode a donkey to the Qingnang tribe.

Two and a half hours later, he finally returned to the freshwater lake and met Xiaoya. It was almost dusk at this time.

Mu You lingered around for a while, and when it was completely dark, he took out the pumpkin lantern and went to the lake to search.

However, perhaps because too much time had passed and the footprints in the forest were not easy to preserve, they had almost disappeared. Mu You jumped back and forth along the lake with the lantern for a long time, but there was no response.

In desperation, he had to sprinkle a handful of lucky dust into the lamp.

[The lucky dust was sprinkled, and the pumpkin lantern cast a dazzling light, reflecting some footprints that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye on the surrounding mud. ]

[These footprints are slender and unique, obviously not from elves and ordinary animals. Some moss marks on the edge of the footprints, combined with the daytime tasks, indicate that these are most likely the footprints of the trolls you need to investigate. Do you want to track them? ]

Sure enough, the footprints were found!

[Tracking the footprints...]

The next step is the tracking process, but it takes much longer than expected.

The three followed for almost two hours and finally found their destination.

[You followed the footprints all the way and finally came to the foot of an unnamed mountain. 】

【What appeared before you was a narrow and damp cave. The dark cave was constantly blowing out cold air, causing whistling waves, as if there were ghosts wailing inside. 】

【You went forward to check and found that the flat ground in front of the cave entrance was covered with green grass, seemingly flat and without any signs of trampling... But this little trick could not be hidden from the pumpkin lantern's detection. You soon found that the grass at the entrance of the cave was drier and darker than the grass beside it. This is most likely the pigment deposition caused by the long-term accumulation of a large number of trolls passing by every day...】

Long-term passing? In other words, the trolls have been active in the Elf Forest for some time...

After thinking about it, Mu You held the pocket watch and tried to enter the cave.

【You entered the cave and found that the cave led to a deeper place in the distance. The ground was full of bones. This seemed to be the burial place of the trolls. It was difficult for non-trolls to pass through it. As soon as you stepped in, you were strangled by several resentful ghosts! 】

【You are dead, life span -1, remaining life span 429 years. 】

…

“Good fellow.”

Mu You didn’t expect this cave to be so powerful. He was killed as soon as he stepped into it. He didn’t have time to think about it and hurriedly pressed the pocket watch.

[Time flows, and you return to the cave. This time, you choose…]

The cave cannot be entered, and they can only wait for the trolls to come back nearby.

Mu You set up a trap array near the cave, and then hid around with Xiaoya Linxue and ambushed.

This time, it didn’t take long. About a quarter of an hour later, a new prompt popped up.

[You saw three trolls from a distance, carrying a golden-red tree and walking towards this side. They moved silently, for fear of making any noise. 】

“Carrying a big tree? So these trolls are here to steal the tree?” Mu You was stunned.

But there was no time to think about it at this time, and soon the three trolls stepped into the trap array.

[Three trolls were caught in the trap at the same time. They were shocked and dropped the trees in their hands. They roared angrily. What do you choose?]

Seeing the text prompt, Mu You immediately called Xiao Ya and Lin Xue to take action.

The three of them took action together. Mu You used a water prison spell first to seal one of the trolls, and then began to beat up the remaining two.

[You, the unknown person, and the pea breeder launched a siege against the trolls. In addition, there were a total of seven summoned beasts, including the shadow war eagle, the night blade leopard, the wild boar, and the reindeer, to help. ]

[This was an unfair duel. With ten to two, you quickly beat the two trolls to death. ]

[In cooperative killing, lifespan belongs to the killer, and experience is divided according to contribution. You and the pea breeder gain lifespan +1, you gain 8 experience points, the unknown person gains 4 experience points, and the pea breeder gains 10 experience points. ]

Sure enough, the summoners in this game are very unreasonable. Xiaoya's own strength is the lowest among the three, but her summoned beast A goes up and bites randomly, but the output is the highest among the three, and she gets the most experience points.

[The last troll quickly escaped from the water prison, but was beaten to a low health by the ten enemies surrounding it in a blink of an eye. It was pressed under the little wild boar and only had its last breath left, but with the troll's talent, its injuries began to heal at a very fast speed...]

[You stepped forward and poured a bottle of sleeping potion into his mouth, and the troll immediately fell asleep. ]

[You captured this troll alive! ]

The troll can recover blood, and it is useless to just beat it to a low health, so Mu You had to use a bottle of sleeping potion.

[You searched around and found 1 woodcutting axe and 1 dead ancient tree of knowledge. ]

[Logging axe: A magic axe specially used for chopping trees, which makes you more efficient when chopping trees. ]

[Ancient tree of knowledge: The ancient tree of knowledge is one of the ancient tree people of the forest elves. It has profound knowledge and is a symbol of the wisdom of the elves. It also has excellent combat power. It has the ability of "wisdom training": creatures that enter the body of the ancient tree of knowledge and communicate with its mind can perceive the origin of wisdom and increase their intelligence by one point. The ancient tree of knowledge can be trained up to ten times a day, and each unit can increase its intelligence by up to ten points through the ancient tree of knowledge. ]

[The wood of this dead ancient tree of knowledge is highly compatible with magic and is an excellent material for making magic wands. It can be sold for a considerable reward. But this ancient tree has just died and still retains a complete ancient tree heart. If you can find an elf willing to fuse the remains of the tree man, you may be able to revive it. 】

"An ancient tree that can train wisdom?"

This text description made Mu You stunned, and there was only one thought in his mind: rich!

The tree of life has not been planted yet, but an ancient tree of knowledge has been intercepted!

This thing can increase the intelligence value of each person by ten points, which is not outrageous, but the key is everyone!

This tree has limited value for a single person, but for an entire race, it is a priceless treasure. Everyone can get ten attributes from it. The more people benefit, the greater its effect. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a sacred tree that can make the race wise!

The only limitation of this thing is that it can only be trained ten times a day, that is, it can only increase the intelligence of one person by ten points a day at most. It takes a long time to improve the intelligence of the whole race.

But even so, this is a sacred tree with almost infinite value. Compared with taking the wood to make a wand, it is more useful to preserve it and find a way to revive it.

An ancient tree of knowledge has such a high value, and other ancient trees are probably about the same. No wonder the trolls went to such great lengths to steal trees from the Elf Forest.

Mu You came to the backpack space, found an open space, and tried to extract the ancient tree of knowledge.

It turned out that it could be taken out!

A huge tree suddenly stretched across the grass in the space.

This is a tree man about 15 meters tall, with golden red leaves similar to maple leaves growing on the crown of the tree. On the branches of the head that spread out, there are two lamps representing wisdom hanging with vines.

However, the two lamps have been extinguished at this moment, indicating that the tree man is dead. From the dry bark of the tree trunk, you can still vaguely see a tree man's face, with slightly open lips and closed eyes, looking a little painful. There are also two shriveled tree-like arms extending from the edge of the trunk.

This ancient tree of knowledge should be the one mentioned in the previous beetle intelligence that was about to die.

It was precisely because of the dying that the ancient tree lost its ability to resist and ask for help that it was cut down by the trolls. Otherwise, the ancient tree man in a healthy state is far from being able to deal with just three trolls.

As soon as the huge tree appeared, the animals in the space ran to watch curiously.

Mandrake opened his mouth wide, looking at the ancient tree in front of him in disbelief: I met a distant relative!

It was the only intelligent plant in this space, and now there was finally another tree man to accompany it.

Mandrake immediately circled around the tree man, poking and tapping at the side, but unfortunately the tree man was dead and could not respond to its naughty actions.

Mu You tried to release "Crazy Growth" on the tree man, but there was no reaction.

It seems that the tree man is really dead, and can only use the elf to have a chance to revive.
