Chapter 221 The Rampant Tree of Life

Originally, I thought the Tree of Life would sprout quickly, but in fact, there was no obvious change in the seed until five minutes after the Elf Chief and Persephone left. During this period of time, the seeds of the Tree of Life have been continuously extruding a large number of green vines. These vines are like octopus tentacles desperately digging into the ground, but they can be seen on the ground. There's not much else besides the seeds themselves.

Five minutes later, this actually very rapid but seemingly very stable growth finally came to an end. I suddenly felt a powerful energy wave coming from under the ground, and at the same time there was a slight vibration on the ground, and this vibration was happening. Gradually strengthen.

Feeling the instability under the ground, I quickly jumped on Yeying's back and let him leave the ground. Facts have proved that my choice was very correct, because less than five seconds after we took off, a big hole suddenly opened up in the ground where we were just now, and then we saw a big hole as thick as a locomotive. Thick rattan emerged from the ground, and then continued to stretch toward the sky like a monster's tentacles. . .

"Back up, back up!" Following my reminder, Ye Ying began to retreat quickly, because the vine below had caught up with our height, and after Ye Ying avoided that position, the vine still did not stop. It was obviously not expected to come out from under us and attack us. After we dodged, the vines did not change at all, and continued to grow upwards directly over the position we were just now, and soon exceeded our height.

After the rattan emerged from the ground, it was as if there was a riot under the ground. There were large holes that quickly opened everywhere on the ground, and then similar tentacles came out of the ground and stretched into the sky. And between these tentacles Zhong yang, a huge rattan that was obviously different from other tentacles suddenly came out of the ground like a volcanic eruption. The surrounding soil was lifted hundreds of meters high by this rattan before it began to fall. The scene was like the end of the world. .

Although the terrifying main vine came out a little late, both its growth rate and its size far exceeded those of the surrounding vines. It only took more than ten seconds for this guy to surpass the surrounding vines and reach a height of more than 200 meters. The height of terror. And it continues to grow upward at the previous growth rate. The surrounding slightly thinner canes that looked like locomotives began to attach to the main cane of the central yang, began to wrap around the main cane and grow upward with it.

As the main rattan continues to grow, more and thinner rattans begin to appear near the location where the lower rattan emerges from the ground. These rattans are like giant green earth dragons drilling into the ground. They drilled out and quickly spread to the surrounding area. All plants growing in the nearby area were swept into the ground or carried into the air by these vines, but without exception they were all smashed to pieces. If it weren't for the fact that the Tree of Life only radiated energy waves outwards for the first five minutes without any other movement, it is estimated that the number of dead animals here would also be very large. But because of those five minutes before. The animals were scared away by the energy wave, so now only the plants that could not move were being swallowed.

Although the tree of life's vines moved very quickly, I saw a lot of things that others couldn't see because of the close distance. After crushing all the surrounding plants, those vines did not simply abandon them, but quickly integrated these plants. No matter what kind of plants they were crushed, as long as they came into contact with the vines of the Tree of Life, they would merge into one piece like two pieces of dough squeezed together. This terrifying fusion ability even works on animals. Although the previous energy fluctuations scared away a lot of things, low-level creatures such as insects did not seem to have an obvious reaction to such fluctuations. In addition, some creatures are inherently slow to move and would not have time to leave the area in five minutes. Therefore, there are still some The creature was covered in vines.

The final outcome of those covered creatures was the same as those of the plants. They were absorbed and fused by the vines without being squeezed to death. I even saw a jungle python being absorbed by the fusion while still alive. Its head was connected to a limb that was more than a foot long and was still swinging desperately in an attempt to escape, but its tail was completely connected to the rattan and they were indistinguishable from each other. This terrifying fusion ability is simply more terrifying than the corrosive effect of strong acid. Fortunately, most of the creatures have left this place. Otherwise, this scene will definitely be even more shocking.

In fact, I wasn't the only one who was scared, I was also on Essinger's side. In front of the space-based observation system in the Tower of Babel, all the leaders of the guild expected to see the ground-level overlooking picture taken by the Tower of Babel before the observation period. In the picture, a large area of ​​tropical rainforest like a vast ocean suddenly rose up into the sky. Then, as if a nuclear bomb had been exploded, an earthy yellow shock wave was followed by a squirming green wave. Advancing quickly on the ground, in the blink of an eye, a light green area was created in the tropical rain forest that was obviously different from the surrounding color. Moreover, this area was still expanding, and as long as the surrounding plants were covered by it It will be eaten away, and there will be no resistance at all.

Because I have gradually become familiar with the growth method of the Tree of Life, I am no longer as cautious as before, and began to direct Yeying to get closer to some of the still growing vines. These strips are often drilled out of the ground at an angle of 45 degrees, then climb along a parabola to a height of nearly 50 meters, and then plunge back into the ground to form a raised soil layer that continues to move downwards under the ground. Push forward for a certain distance, then get out of the ground again and repeat the previous action. Now if we can cut the ground so that we can see the cross-section, you will find that the way these rattans grow is like a Zhengxuan curve that is extending forward. Its regularity is very strong, and it almost never breaks out of the ground and is in the middle. The distances traveled underground are all the same, as if they were measured with instruments.

"Okay Yeying, come closer, let's take a look at the situation below." After figuring out the pattern, I started to let Yeying descend.

Yeying obediently began to lower his altitude, then flew backwards while gradually approaching a vine that had just emerged from the ground, and finally passed under the vine. Although our movements were quite dangerous, the rattan did not attack us. Instead, it accurately flew over our heads according to its own rules, and then plunged into the ground again behind us to continue the next cycle.

While the vines continue to spread outward, at the center point of the Tree of Life, the huge main vine has grown to a height of more than 500 meters, and the growth momentum has no tendency to stop, and is still rising crazily. In fact, except that the height is constantly increasing. The diameter of the main cane and surrounding auxiliary canes is also expanding. At this time, even the diameter of the surrounding auxiliary canes attached to the main cane has exceeded fifteen meters, and the main cane has grown to a diameter of more than fifty meters.

The Elf Clan leader, who was watching the growth progress of the Tree of Life simultaneously with the help of a crystal communicator, frowned and looked at the crazily growing vines on the screen and asked, "How fast are these vines spreading now?"

The player who was operating the communicator looked at the scale and said: "About sixty to seventy kilometers per hour."

After hearing this answer, the leader of the Elf clan quickly asked Hong Yue beside him: "Vice President Hong Yue, can you contact other personnel?"

Hongyue nodded and asked, "Who do you want to contact?"

"Can I contact Persephone?"

"Okay." Hong Yue signaled the communication staff to start, and the voice of Kuaibo Sephone appeared in the communication.

"What's wrong? Contact me at this time."

The leader of the Elf clan asked with some worry: "Lord Persephone, did the Tree of Life seeds you warmed before import a large amount of life essence?"

Persephone asked in confusion: "How can we nourish it without inputting the essence of life?"

The leader of the Elf clan knew what the problem was as soon as he heard it, but he still confirmed: "Then do you know that the energy utilization rate of the Tree of Life is different from that of ordinary plants?"

Persephone asked doubtfully: "Is there any difference?"

The leader of the Jingling clan said helplessly: "The life energy utilization rate of ordinary plants is only over 20%, and the most is only 38%. But the energy utilization rate of the Tree of Life is 90%. Between seven and ninety-nine point nine percent, which means that the Tree of Life can produce more than three times the effect of ordinary plants by absorbing the same energy. Do you still calculate the energy requirements for growth based on the absorption rate of normal plants? ?”

Persephone also reacted now and did not care to answer. She shouted quickly: "Quick, quick, let the surrounding Elf soldiers evacuate quickly, the growth range of the Tree of Life will be much expanded than expected. Their current position will be involved!”

The leader of the Elf clan dared not delay, and quickly began to order the elf troops to evacuate. When Hongyue saw this situation, she quickly ordered the people in her guild to help the Elf tribe evacuate quickly. After all, they are doing things for us. If there is a large amount of losses, we will definitely have to make some compensation regardless of emotion or reason. Besides, even if they don't want compensation, we can't watch the Elf soldiers die here in vain, can we?

Because our guild's communication equipment helped transmit orders, the elves responded quickly, and began to evacuate the scene on a large scale in almost only a few minutes. And because the players in our guild have Fenglong who can help load things. Therefore, the elves only need to pack lightly and escape, and those things that are difficult to carry are thrown into the Phoenix Dragon Space. Moreover, people in our guild have spears that can be used for transportation. Each person can take two elves with him when he comes back. Running back and forth at the speed of a spear can transport a lot of people.

Thanks to our help and timely discovery, the elves retreated quickly and were not covered by the vines of the Tree of Life. However, we ran very fast, but some people were not so fast. .

"Report."

"What's going on?" In a huge city in South America, a player pushed the door and entered an office. Two players sitting inside were looking at a map and discussing something. They didn't look back when they heard this person come in. asked.

Players who had just entered here immediately reported: "Nail just used a magic scroll to send a message saying that the elves surrounding them suddenly left, and they looked very panicked, as if they were running for their lives."

The two people who were discussing something suddenly turned around when they heard the report. They stopped looking at the map and asked seriously: "You said they were running for their lives?"

The player immediately said: "That's what the information said."

Another person who had not spoken before said: "It's understandable that the elves surrounded us with the nails set up, and it's understandable that they evacuate temporarily, but why do they seem to be running for their lives?"

The person who spoke before said: "The elves don't need to put on a show for us. With their strength, even if they wipe out our village casually, it would be just a piece of cake. There is no need to spend a lot of time performing in front of us."

"Doesn't that mean they are really running for their lives? What can make the elves run away?"

"No matter what it is, we can't stop it anyway. Notify Nailizhi and ask them to evacuate quickly."

"yes."

Although the improved communication scroll based on the teleportation scroll has a certain cost, in general it is still affordable for general guild communications, so the players in the village who deliberately caused trouble with us quickly received a message asking them to follow the message. Notice of the evacuation of the spirits. However, although they received such a notice. But the result is completely different from the elves.

The elves have our help. There is nothing in the way, just run by yourself, and our transportation capacity also helped the elves transport some people with relatively low mobility, so the rest of the elves can be said to be Highly mobile troops. Besides, elves are the darlings of the forest. They move very fast in the woods. However, these players are different in comparison. They didn't know exactly what happened, but they just knew roughly that there was danger. Humans are such creatures. If they cannot truly feel the threat, most people will not have a strong sense of urgency.

The elves running almost at full speed and a group of quite casual humans can't escape at the same speed. What's more, the players only reported the elves after they discovered that the elves had voluntarily evacuated, and their superiors were delayed in issuing orders. It took some time. This went back and forth, and by the time this group of players started to prepare to run, it was actually too late. The guy who was almost the fastest among the group had just left the village gate when a loud rumbling sound came from behind.

"What's the sound?" Several players who were still packing their things and preparing to load their cars and leave looked up in confusion and looked outside the village. Unfortunately, they couldn't see anything because of the obstruction of the forest. They could only hear the sound getting closer and closer, and the ground was actually A slight vibration began.

"Look, what is that?" As the distance gradually approached, a player finally noticed a piece of flying debris and soil behind the forest not far away. Then I saw a large group of thick vines like giant snakes appearing and disappearing above the tree crown, rushing towards the village.

"Oh my God!" as the previous player shouted. More and more people noticed the movement over there, and then people began to drop their things and turn around and run away. But by now it was too late.

A forward speed of sixty kilometers per hour is nothing to a modern car, but the problem is that this is a tropical rainforest, not a highway. Besides, people here don't have cars, so it would be nice to have a Warcraft mount. Besides, there are actually not many monsters that can run wildly in the woods at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. It's not that I can't reach speed, but I can't run. The road conditions in the dense forest are clear when you think about it. Uneven ground height, unstable ground strength, scattered bushes, and dense towering trees are all obstacles to progress. Warcraft that can run at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour can be seen everywhere on the prairie, but in the dense forest, any moving object with a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour must have a perfect dynamic capture system and a set of at least good skills. The obstacle avoidance system can ensure that you will not hit something or fall over.

Compared to the players who had to avoid obstacles in front and choose the road carefully, the Tree of Life behind them pushed forward without any trouble. There was a player who didn't know whether he was born brave or had a brain problem. He actually stood in front of the village and slashed a sword energy at the oncoming Tree of Life. Of course, the results were tragic. Before the sword energy even got close to the vines of the Tree of Life, it was blocked by the earth and broken wood lifted up by the Tree of Life, and then the guy himself was buried by the pouring wood and earth.

Passing this player without any hindrance, the Tree of Life continues to move forward. Under normal circumstances, the Tree of Life should not have grown to this position. We have changed the growing location of the Tree of Life before. The new location is actually very far away from the village. According to our re-planned construction site, the village should have been just outside the edge of our city. Moreover, the originally planned area of ​​​​the city It covers a much larger area than the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life is only the central area of ​​the city. It does not mean that the entire city is the Tree of Life. But now, the Tree of Life has not only spread to areas that should not have been covered on the edge of the city, but is also continuing to grow outwards.

As the Tree of Life advanced further, the small village finally entered the coverage of the Tree of Life. The wooden fence looked like a paper model in front of the vines of the Tree of Life, and was blown away by the air waves brought by the vines. Not far from the outside of the village, a vine came out of the ground with a bang and streaked through the air. After some distance it falls again. Then he plunged into the edge of the village and smashed half of the village into the ground. The remaining part of the village was completely covered by the mud splashed up by the vines entering the ground. Even if the people inside did not die, they would never be able to get out in a short time.

People in the village were buried alive, and those who ran out of the village were not much better off. A small group of players lowered their heads and ran as fast as they could, but the loud rumbling noise from behind was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a vine like a prehistoric beast broke out of the ground ten meters away from their left front. After rushing forward for a certain distance, they suddenly plunged into the ground again, and just when their faces were pale and their legs and feet were weak, they suddenly realized that it was getting dark. The panicked people looked up and almost fell to their knees. How could it be that it was dark? There was actually a vine going through their heads and pressing down on the ground in front of them.

Because the vines had already crossed their heads, the running people had to move to both sides to avoid the vines, but their speed was not as fast as the vines. Now he had to move diagonally, so he was no match for him, and he was quickly chased by the vines behind him.

At first, because they didn't know the situation, these people's reactions after discovering that they were caught up were also different. First of all, someone thought of using a weapon to attack. Of course, the result was like swinging a sword into water. The attack did have some effect on the vines, but the problem was that compared to the size of the tree of life, those wounds were no bigger than human skin. The natural wrinkles on it are almost the same. It's not even an injury. Such a small amount of damage has no effect on those vines at all. On the contrary, those people immediately began to dissolve after being touched by the splashed juice, and within two or three seconds, they all lost their human form. But at this time, he was not dead yet, still twisting and struggling. Such a terrifying state really frightened many people, but more people began to realize that attacking was useless, so they began to choose to escape by jumping on the vines, but this option soon proved to be useless.

The first person who ran to the vines thought he just had to be careful not to be squeezed to death by the intertwining vines, but he suffered disaster the moment he touched the vines. Before, they thought that only the juice of vines could corrode the human body, but now they know that the surfaces of these vines cannot be touched. Everyone was immediately stuck to the vines as soon as they came into contact with them, and then the armor on their bodies was attached to the body. It began to melt, and it seemed that nothing could resist the erosion of those vines.

Those who tried to escape were quickly absorbed into the vines bit by bit in front of everyone's eyes, while more people were trapped in isolation zones. Since the vines of these Trees of Life grow forward in leaps and bounds, there are actually many gaps underneath them. But these people's luck ended there. Although the outermost vines of the Tree of Life grow forward in leaps and bounds, inside, the vines gradually begin to grow downwards, forming many side branches. These branches gradually begin to connect the space between the ground and the vines. The gaps were filled, and the survivors hiding in them all began to merge with the vines as soon as they were touched by the vines without any surprise. Even if they waved weapons to resist, it would not make much sense. Not only did those vines move quickly, but more importantly, there were so many that they could not be cut down. In the end, none of the players were spared, and they all became fertilizer for the growth of the Tree of Life.

Persephone is floating above the main trunk area of ​​the Tree of Life with me at this time. The peripheral tree of life root system is still expanding to the surrounding area. At this time, its area has far exceeded our previous expectations. Not only has it occupied all the areas that we originally planned to occupy, it has even exceeded the city limits. It's so big. Now the entire tree of life covers a circular area with a radius of more than thirty kilometers, and this area is still growing. The only thing that makes us feel a little reassured is that the growth rate of the Tree of Life is declining. At least now it is not as exaggerated as it was at the beginning. Of course, even if the growth rate of more than ten kilometers per hour is not as exaggerated as the previous speed, it is definitely a terrifying growth rate for plants.

"Persephone, do you have a way to control this tree of life?" I floated next to Persephone and asked her if she had a way to deal with it. Now that the Tree of Life has grown so big, it can be said that she has to bear the main responsibility, because she miscalculated the amount of life essence to be used, which caused the Tree of Life to go out of control, and it is still growing after it has grown so big.

Persephone also wanted to answer my question, but in the end she sighed helplessly and shook her head: "Although I also hope there is a way to control it, the fact is that before the tree of life officially grows, it is Uncontrollable. The only thing we can do now is stand up to her, right?"

"You mean we can only wait until the tree of life has grown and then it will naturally stop growing?"

Persephone nodded helplessly and said, "Otherwise, if you attack her, you can actually reduce her size."

The method Persephone mentioned is actually the energy consumption method. Plants require energy to grow. The Tree of Life is no exception. The reason why it grew so exaggeratedly before was because Persephone watered the Tree of Life with too much life essence. So much so that the Tree of Life showed a state of overnutrition, which is why it grew so exaggeratedly. But, conversely, if we attack the tree of life, then the tree of life will inevitably be injured. Once the Tree of Life is injured, she has to spend energy to repair the damage, so her stored energy will decrease. As long as we do a lot of damage to the Tree of Life. Then in order to restore itself, the Tree of Life can only consume a large amount of its own energy. In this way, the internal stored energy of the Tree of Life will be exhausted quickly, and at that time, the Tree of Life will stop growing and enter the adult stage.

"I would like to attack a few times, but if we do this, we will be hated!" I said helplessly: "The Tree of Life is not an ordinary city, it is alive. And it also has intelligence. If we attack her now, we will definitely It will be remembered for a lifetime. If this was not our city, at worst it would be completely destroyed and rebuilt, but this is our own city, so how do you want me to attack it?"

"Then we can only wait!" Persephone said.

I was quite helpless when I heard what Persephone said. The growth of the Tree of Life has completely exceeded our expectations. On the ground below, a circular area with a radius of more than thirty kilometers has been completely covered by the Tree of Life. Any animals and plants within this range have been absorbed by the Tree of Life as nutrients. There should be no underground mineral deposits or anything like that. If there is, it will be completely sucked dry by the Tree of Life. This is the powerful ability of the Tree of Life.

In fact, the Tree of Life is not only exaggerated in its coverage area. Many of her statistics are quite exaggerated. Although the coverage radius of the root network has reached more than 30 kilometers, the Tree of Life at this time does not appear short and thick at all, because at this time its central vine has grown into a tree with a diameter of more than three kilometers and a height of one meter. A terrifying giant tree measuring 12,000 meters. The rattan that originally looked soft is now gradually deepening in color, and its skin has also transformed from the smooth and tender skin before to the normal amount of rough bark.

In addition to this exaggerated trunk, the huge crown at the top of the Tree of Life is actually quite scary. This terrifying canopy starts to grow from a height of about three thousand meters above the main trunk of the central yang. It is densely packed with horizontal branches spreading out, and the coverage radius of these spreading branches actually reaches 20 Kilometers or so.

Can you imagine how big a tree canopy with a radius of twenty kilometers is? That's really covering up the sky and the sun. Stop talking about it. If it rains here, as long as the amount does not reach moderate rain or above, you will probably not see even a drop of water down there, because the water is absorbed by the leaves on the trunk and cannot flow down at all.

After seeing the growth here, I quickly connected to the guild's communicator. Sure enough, Rose and the others were watching the growth of our Tree of Life in front of the crystal communicator.

"Can you see the full coverage of the Tree of Life?" I asked in the crystal communication.

Hongyue quickly replied: "You can see satellite images of this area from the Tower of Babel. The boundaries between the area covered by the Tree of Life and the surrounding forests are very clear."

"That's good. Now hurry up and find the map. Oh, by the way, no need. Let the God of War help you check whether the expanded range of the Tree of Life covers the sphere of influence of other NPC forces."

Now the growth of the Tree of Life has gradually begun to slow down. It should be that the energy is about to be exhausted and it will soon stop growing and enter the mature stage, but that is not what I am worried about. Although the bigger the Tree of Life, the better, but bigger is just a little bigger, so it’s not a big deal. What I'm really worried about is the forces around me.

Originally we wanted to build a city, so we did some public relations processing for the surrounding NPC forces. In the end, those forces moved out under our compensation policy, or simply moved to other places, and some directly Just joined our city. I plan to return to our city and settle down once our city is established.

Originally, this result was considered relatively good. Except for the village that had just been swallowed by the Tree of Life, we basically encountered no resistance. However, the situation is different now. The growth range of the Tree of Life is obviously beyond the range where it should be. This is like if you were a construction developer and bought a piece of land of 100,000 square meters to build a commercial building. As a result, you not only took away the aborigines within the 100,000 square meters, but also took away the houses of residents outside this area. It was also bulldozed. What's even worse is that I haven't said hello to them before, maybe even... no. Someone must have died during this expansion. This is simply unimaginable.

In the past, everyone was in South America just to make money, so everyone showed considerable restraint towards the local NPC forces. After all, this place is really a paradise for guerrilla warfare. If you really offend any local force, you must have the ability to clean them up. Forget it, as long as you can't do that. Then it will be miserable later. The other party's harassment will definitely destroy your business.

Although our guild can already be said to be the number one guild in the world, we still operate according to this unspoken rule, which is to try not to offend the local forces. But now there's trouble. Not only did we offend others, but we might also offend many families at once. What's even worse is that this was not a simple infringement of interests, but actually killed many people. This is simply a blood feud. Do you think people can let it go? These NPC forces in the game are not real people. They don't have the habit of asking others for money when someone in the family dies. These guys follow the older rules of killing for life. so. I can almost predict our future situation now. It will definitely be a state of constant fighting with the guerrillas. certainly. There's a chance it could get worse. If these forces trying to retaliate against us are used by other people with ulterior motives, then the guerrilla resistance may turn into a terrorist attack. Then there will be a suicide bomb attack on us... I feel sweaty just thinking about it!

Originally, no one had thought of this problem even if I didn't mention it. As soon as I asked the War God to look at the map to check the distribution of surrounding forces, many quick-responsive people in the guild immediately realized the problem.

"Oops, I forgot about this!" Hong Yue exclaimed.

Kristina also shouted: "What should we do? We were at peace with the local forces here before. Now that we have made so many enemies, how can we survive in the future? This place is not suitable for long-term fighting. A place to fight!”

They were discussing in a flurry, and their voices were getting louder and louder. However, just when everyone seemed extremely anxious, one person's words made us all calm down.

The person speaking was none other than the patriarch of Elf City. This patriarch may not be much better than us in terms of intelligence, but unlike all of us here, she has a characteristic that we don't have, that is, she does not belong to the Frost Rose Alliance.

The so-called authorities are obsessed with it, but bystanders know clearly. We are all members of the Frost Rose Alliance, so we ourselves cannot see this clearly at all, but as a third party, the elves do not have this problem. Therefore, when we all fell into misunderstandings, the leader of the Elf clan suddenly said: "Isn't this tree of life planted in our name? Why do they want to trouble you?"

"Eh?" Everyone on our side seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on us, and all of a sudden they all turned off. It took a long time before I heard Kristina suddenly say: "That's right! This city was not built in our name. The Tree of Life was planted in the name of the Elf Tribe. Even if someone wants revenge, then Are you also looking for the elves?"

"Yeah, why did you forget this?" Hongyue also patted her chest and said, "It was really a false alarm!"

After seeing that our emotions had calmed down, the leader of the Jingling clan suddenly continued: "However, although this matter is temporarily in our name, we are also working for your Frost Rose Alliance. Now that something like this has happened, You won’t really let us bear all the consequences, will you?”

Our Frost Rose Alliance has never lacked smart people. Before, we just fell into misunderstandings for a while, but now that we figured it out, everyone immediately returned to their normal intelligence level. You should really pay attention to what the leader of the Elf clan said here. Although our city is being built in the name of the elves for the time being, if people come forward to help, it is already giving them face. Although they also received benefits, they were doing work for us after all, and of course we would be responsible for anything that happened. It's like the workers are paid by the boss even though they work. But if a worker is injured on the job. Doesn’t it still need to be paid by the boss? This is actually the same truth. Letting others do things for us and ignoring problems when they arise is not the style of our Frost Rose Alliance.

Rose immediately replied after the other party finished speaking: "Don't worry, this matter is our Frost Rose Alliance's business, and your spirits will not suffer the loss in vain. You have to rest assured. Our Frost Rose Alliance can't do that. It’s a matter of some kind. However, this matter cannot be clarified by our Frost Rose Alliance. Then we should take this responsibility. In that case, our losses will be too great."

"Then what do you mean...?"

"What I mean is this." Rose said: "First of all, this matter is still in your name to the outside world, which means that all the responsibilities are in the name of the Elf Tribe. Then, you Elf Tribe will send out the Your personnel. Go to those disaster-stricken areas to check, rescue if there are any living people, etc., and try to reduce the losses first. Of course, the more important thing is to make statistics on which forces have been violated. After that, you must be responsible for coming forward. Explain to these forces and tell the truth. This was an accidental injury caused by the rampage of the Tree of Life. It was not intentional on your part. It was an accident. But your attitude must be good. You must show the other party that although this is an accident, it was caused by you after all. So. You will bear full responsibility. At the same time, you will take this opportunity to directly say that in order to take care of these people who have been harmed, you have decided to sell this city, and then use part of the recovered funds to compensate those who have been harmed. We can also assure them that you, the elves, will be fully responsible for their future life problems and will be responsible for this matter to the end."

The leader of the Elf clan is not an idiot. He immediately understood what Rose said. "You mean to use this excuse to sell the city. Of course, the person who bought the city must be your guild. Then I can use part of the purchase funds to compensate those forces, but in fact it is equivalent to your money. We're just changing hands, right?"

Rose nodded and said: "You're right, that's what I mean. I know that this will increase your workload a lot, and it is very likely that there will be some dangers. After all, there will definitely be a large number of those who have been violated. With families broken up and people being killed, it is inevitable that some people will insist on seeking revenge. But I don’t think there are too many such people. Your elves have a very good reputation in this rainforest, so if you are sincere and positive Remedy, most forces won't care about you. As for those who really want to take revenge, I think you can just be tough and kill them. After all, those people are in the minority. As long as most people don't care, you will have no problem. As for possible personal injuries, there is really nothing we can do about this. What we can do is to give you as much compensation as possible, which can be regarded as some small compensation for you."

I interrupted Rose directly at this time and said: "In addition to what Rose just said, I can also assure you as the president of the Frost Rose Alliance that the Frost Rose Alliance and your Elf City will form an alliance in the future. As long as you If the elves don't betray us first, we, the Frost Rose Alliance, will never abandon you. In the future, we can not only cooperate in business and other aspects, but also in the military. If something like the last time between the white elves and the elves happens next time, we will never abandon you. Regarding the entanglement between the dark elves, our guild will directly send troops to assist. Do you think this is okay?"

After hearing our words, the leader of the Elf clan nodded immediately and said: "That's enough. In fact, I am very satisfied as long as the alliance that President Ziri mentioned. I have been in contact with you for longer and longer during this period, and I know more about you." There are more and more. It is definitely an honor for us to have an ally like the Frost Rose Alliance."

"you flatter me."

After setting the general direction, we directly asked the God of War to draw up a detailed covenant and also signed a secret agreement. This covenant is a very ordinary alliance covenant, but the secret covenant is about the handling of the Tree of Life incident. As for the amount of compensation funds, we have unanimously decided not to determine this for the time being, because we ourselves do not know how we will ultimately complete the purchase of the city.

Now that this troublesome problem has been solved, everyone is finally relieved. The leader of the Elf clan quickly began to direct the remaining areas around the Elf area to check the losses of other forces. Fortunately, our guild has done enough preliminary work before. Although this area will not enter the city limits, considering the future development, these forces will become our neighbors, so Jinshan Yinhai has already asked people to move nearby The distribution of power is clearly understood.

Because of this power distribution map, the Elf clan's work of rescuing the disaster-stricken forces went very smoothly. In addition, we specially sent some people to help, so this matter did not cause too much trouble.

After sending away the elves, I still couldn't take any time off, because the tree of life was still standing there. This thing has become a big trouble for us now. How can we build a city with such a big tree of life? Should we still build along the perimeter of the Tree of Life? How big will the city be built? What a headache!
