Chapter 1295: Deep in the Silent Forest

As the spatial energy waves from the portal became more intense, in the blink of an eye, a familiar burly figure walked out of the portal. It was the big-armed Tiger Stick.

Behind Tiger Stick, a group of short figures that were not even as tall as Tiger Stick walked out one after another. Lei Xiao, who was leading the group, was also familiar to him. He was the dwarf elf Prince of Illusion, Cornet.

According to yesterday's plan, the purpose of Cornet's trip was not only to bring more than 100 dwarf elf forgers, alchemists, illusionists and magic engineers, but also to visit Prince Vader on behalf of the dwarf elf king and to lead the way for Lei Xiao.

Therefore, Lei Xiao, as the host this time, naturally also held a welcome ceremony to welcome the arrival of the dwarf elves.

Seeing the appearance of Tiger Stick as the guide, the Cold Flame Royal Guard, which had been neatly lined up around the portal, immediately played a cheerful melody of welcome.

The music composed of horns, harps and timpani resounded through the sky, and the ceremonial knights in shining silver armor all raised their rapiers in unison and made welcoming gestures.

Whether in terms of scale or professionalism, the human race's welcome ceremony was more magnificent, and the dwarves such as Cornet could not help but marvel at it, and were also very curious.

After all, this was the first time that the dwarves officially set foot on the human race's territory, and everything was full of novelty and unknown.

"Your Majesty, this ceremony is too grand."

When Lei Xiao approached, there was still a trace of amazement on Cornet's resolute face, and he said: "Whether it is music or the exquisite emblems on the flag, there are many things worthy of learning from the dwarf elves."

"Mutual understanding, mutual learning, mutual support, mutual appreciation, and mutual respect, this is the meaning of our alliance, isn't it? This is just the tip of the iceberg of the human race's heritage. With the deepening of cooperation, you will also see the glorious history and civilization of the human race."

Lei Xiao smiled and nodded, and responded to Cornet: "I have set up dwarf elf residences with complete security measures in the Alchemy City, the Forging Center, the Illusion Exchange Center established in the Glowing City, and the Lord Technology R&D Base. Each place has also held its own welcome ceremony. Please rest assured, Your Highness, just leave the talents to me."

After that, Lei Xiao waved his hand gently, and the reception staff standing behind him stepped forward, and Jiang Xi, who was responsible for the transmission work, was also on full alert, ready to set off at any time.

Just as Lei Xiao said, the well-defended Glowing City is self-evidently not to be mentioned, and whether it is the Alchemy City, the Forging Center, or the Lord's Base, Lei Xiao has deployed many of the scattered direct subordinates and mercenary guilds, and has given them many trump cards to deal with various emergencies.

"Then I'll leave it to His Majesty the Human Race."

Cornet nodded without hesitation, and then turned around and called out the dwarf leaders of each cooperation project, and introduced and handed over to our personnel one by one.

In this process, it is needless to say how the two sides communicated enthusiastically. When everything was completed, they went to their destinations under the transmission of Jiang Xi.

Not long after, Lei Xiao also took Cornet and the dwarf elf visiting team including the Minister of Magic Engineering to the enchantment area where the space train was located deep in the Songyin Mountains.

The moment they saw the enchantment town, Cornet and others became excited.

Whether it is from the layout of the town, the buildings in it, or the special reaction devices deployed around it, it can be seen that this is indeed a camp left by the dwarfs!

Noticing the excitement of the dwarfs, Lei Xiao also quickened his pace and described some details of our arrival in this town to them.

With Lei Xiao's introduction, the group soon arrived at the space train located below the town.

Looking at the space train of extraordinary significance in front of them, it is self-evident how amazed and excited the dwarfs such as Cornet were, and Lei Xiao led the group forward until they entered the space where Wade was through the connecting device.

"Your Majesty, these are...?!"

Seeing the figures of Cornet and other fellows, Wade was stunned at first, and then he was speechless with surprise and excitement, and Cornet and others also had the same expression, with excitement in their eyes.

"Sir, the train captain, I once promised you that I would definitely convey your message to the dwarf kingdom, and now I have done it."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly and began to introduce.

"Your Majesty, I will never forget your kindness!"

After hugging Cornet and others excitedly, Wade came to Lei Xiao again, and directly led the other dwarves trapped here to kneel in front of Lei Xiao, expressing their respect and gratitude with actions.

"Your Excellency the train conductor is too polite. I have not yet fully fulfilled my promise. One day, I will rescue you with the current dwarves and send you back home."

Lei Xiao bent down to help Wade up, and then prepared to leave first, leaving the dwarves some private time to communicate.

And Wade and Cornet both held Lei Xiao's arms at the same time, and the subtext was self-evident. The dwarves would never hide anything from their close friends, and Lei Xiao had obviously won the respect and trust of the dwarves with his actions.

So far, Lei Xiao has also joined this meeting between the new and old dwarves after nearly three thousand years.

But the meeting did not last long. After understanding each other's current situation, Cornette and Wade ended this special meeting at the same time.

Because the two old and new dwarf princes clearly understood that only by driving away the group of red dragons would everything be temporarily stable, so they naturally had to race against time to cooperate with Lei Xiao's actions.

After saying goodbye to Vader and other dwarves, Cornette and the dwarf ministers left the special space together with Lei Xiao.

Amid the thanks from Cornette and others, Lei Xiao quickly returned to the portal area, and then came to the dwarf's metal castle through the portal, and handed the upgraded items yesterday to Broy.

After hearing the news about meeting with Wade and others, and seeing the items brought by Lei Xiao, Broy was needless to say how excited he was, and he immediately started preparing new supplies.

Lei Xiao did not stay, but returned to the human realm with Cornette, who was responsible for guiding the way.

I saw that Ice Stone City had already been waiting near the portal area, and was ready to go to the vast sea of ​​​​trees, which was the sphere of influence of the tree people.

Among the accompanying experts, in addition to yesterday's configuration, Lei Xiao also brought a direct subordinate, Lina.

According to Lina, her tribe has some blood connection with the tree people, and it might be of some help. It's no wonder, after all, the leaves on Lina's head are real.

After being teleported from Ice Stone City, Lei Xiao, his team, and Cornette soon stood in front of an extremely dense jungle in the outer domain.

Lei Xiao had just watched. Even from the towering walls of Ice Stone City, he could not see the end of the forest, which seemed endless.

"Is this the vast sea of ​​trees?"

Lei Xiao's eyes were filled with the emerald green that symbolized vitality, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

"That's right, Your Majesty the Human Race. As the name suggests, the Vast Sea of ​​Trees covers an extremely wide area, at least as big as a small half of the human world."

Cornette stood up with a solemn face, nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "And in the center of the sea of ​​trees is where the tree people are."

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, the human race, although I have never entered the vast sea of ​​trees, my fathers are no strangers to this place. After all, when the Shadow Market was opened normally, the elves and the tree people maintained a certain amount of trade. , and sometimes enter the vast sea of ​​​​trees to retrieve the trading items of the tree people."

When Cornette said this, he took out an ancient parchment from his arms, which recorded the route map into the vast sea of ​​trees, and said: "The tree people have set up many traps and obstacles in the forest. , it will undoubtedly be much more convenient with the road map as a reference.”

After that, Cornet waved a sixth-level alchemy puppet, obviously looking quite nervous, and added: "It is said that the tree people are stubborn and violent, especially in the forest, and they are at home like a fish in water. Please ask the human majesty It’s better to be careful.”

"Understood, then I will ask His Highness the Prince to lead the way."

Lei Xiao showed Rolandel, and the other strong men on our side also tightened their weapons, not daring to show any signs of neglect.

"A red dragon may come here at any time, let's set off now."

Seeing everyone getting ready to go, Lei Xiao took his own steps.

The moment he stepped into the jungle, a strong scent of vegetation hit his nostrils, mixed with the moist smell of earth.

Accompanied by the sound of lightning breaking through the air, the group of people quickly shuttled through the dense forest, causing the surrounding leaves and branches to make a "rustling" sound.

At the beginning, this place was no different from the Demonic Forest. Traces left by various monsters such as beast tracks, feces, footprints, claw marks, and bones could be seen everywhere. From time to time, there were also the rustling sounds of insects. Echoes around.

But the deeper you go into the forest, the sparser these traces become, until they disappear completely without you noticing. Only the occasional fallen leaves on the towering trees will attract the attention of our strong men.

For a moment, Lei Xiao felt that he was trapped in an endless green maze. Everywhere he looked, there were thick and similar trees one after another, seemingly densely packed.

Not only is the bright sunlight above the head almost completely blocked by the leaves, making the interior of the forest increasingly humid and dim, but in many places there is only a narrow space to pass through, making it difficult to distinguish the current location.

"Fortunately, Cornet led the way, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort just to reach the core area where the tree people are."

Lei Xiao sighed in his heart and continued to observe the surrounding environment.

Except for the "rustling" sound of our group of people passing by, the surroundings were already silent. Only the occasional spots of light coming through the lush branches and leaves could barely illuminate the road ahead.

Cornet, who was at the front of the team, finally stopped moving forward.

"Your Majesty the Human Race, according to the markings on the route map, there should be a tree people checkpoint nearby. We can communicate with the tree people through there, and then enter the tree people's palace."

Since the surroundings were extremely dark, Cornette first summoned a magic light ball, and after examining the map carefully for a while, he nodded affirmatively to Lei Xiao.

"But there is no suspicious atmosphere around here. Where are the tree people?"

After Yoniel concentrated on sensing for a moment, a trace of doubt appeared on his old face.

"You don't know something. As long as the tree people are willing, any energy fluctuations can be hidden in the forest, and the strength will be passively enhanced. After all, this is the home ground of the tree people."

Cornet walked to a towering tree and observed for a moment, frowning and saying: "And tree people can easily blend into the forest. As long as they don't show up, it will be difficult for us to find their traces."

"So, every tree here may be a tree person?"

Louise frowned, looked around the big tree next to her, and then knocked on the trunk, but there was no response.

"Louise, is it because they don't want to see us that they didn't show up?"

Jiang Xi frowned and whispered to Lei Xiao: "We have no grudges with tree people, they won't just say hello, right?

"Don't forget the mysterious visitors. Although they hit a wall with the dwarves, they may have come here. "

Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, then waved his hand gently, and ordered his subordinates to investigate.

The deep forest was dark and silent, almost to the point where you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Only the footsteps of our strong men on the dead leaves on the ground made a "rustling" sound, making the whole scene quite tense. After all, this is an unknown area.

"Lord, the surrounding environment is really a bit eerie."

Chao Yan shrank his neck, and a magic ball of light lit up on the top of the staff. He shuddered and said, "I have to say that this situation where we can't see each other, but the other party can see us is really unacceptable. "

"Or, maybe the tree people are not in this area. "

Lina tried to sense for a long time, but also did not gain anything. She was frightened by the dead branches that were accidentally broken under her feet, and she almost flew up with Chao Yan, who was confused next to her.

Being disturbed by these two startled girls, everyone couldn't help but smile, which eased the tense atmosphere on our side.

In this process, Cornet also followed the way of contacting the tree man. He first took out a mottled bamboo flute and blew it, and then beat the drum on the tree trunk, but still did not get any feedback.

"There is indeed something wrong. Although the tree man is stubborn, it is also a force that abides by etiquette. Even if it refuses us, it should show up and tell us. "

Cornet frowned, and a hint of doubt appeared in his voice.

But at this moment, Chao Yan, Louise and Lina came with a touch of surprise, but almost at the same time: "Lord, come and see!"
