Chapter 845: The Looming Depths (2nd Update!)

"The Tree Father is watching you, stranger..."

"It seems that He values ​​you very much. The Tree Father has not appeared from the virtual world for a long time."

"That is its blessing and final farewell to you - it will go to the eternal sleep..."

At this moment, the tree in front of Yi Xia suddenly opened its eyes.

It looked at the yellow leaves in Yi Xia's hand, and then spoke slowly.

Just like the tree man that Yi Xia had met before, its voice seemed quite solemn, and its speech speed was also not fast or slow.

Of course, this is probably a relatively lively existence among the tree people.

Yi Xia looked at the leaves in his hand that seemed to have no strong power.

Under the yellow leaves, there were strands of green that were winding like silk threads.

Yi Xia could feel some kind of ancient power from it - not strong, but like the earth, it carried a certain weight.

As the tree man said, this is probably a memorial.

"I heard about you from the elders."

"Please forgive those children for their fear of your deeds - they grew up in the last remaining shade of the tree father and have not yet been exposed to the dangers outside the world."

"Therefore, they cannot understand that the fire that they regard as a taboo also has its shining burning meaning..."

The tree man looked at Yi Xia, who was looking at the leaves without saying a word, and continued to speak.

Yi Xia then put the leaves away.

He did not have much direct feeling about the world tree yet.

But judging from the alternative contact just now, at least it was not a bad guy.

"Is that the enemy's territory over there?"

Yi Xia's eyes swept across the green forest behind the tree man, which only stretched for a few miles and then stopped abruptly.

On the other side, it was a dark world that seemed to have lost all vivid colors:

There was also vitality there, but it was presented in another form - thick mosses that seemed to be rotten, huge and swollen mushrooms that seemed to be petrified, and many dark ferns as the main body.

The most prominent and "vivid" colors are the huge mushrooms.

Some of them are dark yellow, which is quite eye-catching in the dark world.

Of course, compared with the mushrooms that Yi Xia is familiar with, its painting style is obviously too simple.

"That was our former compatriot. Now... for some unrealistic ambitions, we have to stand in opposition..."

"I used to believe with many compatriots that they would eventually be able to break away from the border of chaos."

"But no - instead, killing and blood have made their dark lives accommodate more sins..."

The tree man said with some sighs.

Yi Xia is now sure that this is undoubtedly an alternative among the tree people - so far, he has never seen a tree man who can say so much at once...

Of course, considering that this world is dominated by tree people.

It is probably reasonable that it is different from the tree people in foreign lands?

"I know."

Yi Xia nodded at the tree man.

The array of resurrected tree people is a stretch of forest.

Due to the differences in their body size and social structure, they did not form buildings such as military camps or heavy battle fortresses that Yi Xia was familiar with.

The wild-looking forest was their front and logistics support.

In this respect, Yi Xia had a sense of déjà vu of the swarm of space insects.

Of course, as we all know, tree people have never been a group that loves war.

Because of this characteristic of tree people, Yi Xia did not see other players and derivative subspecies of the Zongwang nearby.

According to Yi Xia's previous description of the Zongwang, the derivative subspecies of this world are quite exciting.

Then, Yi Xia bid farewell to the tree people and turned directly into a blood cloud.

Looking at Yi Xia's whistling figure, the tree people slowly raised their heads, but only caught a glimpse of blood on the sky:

"Tree father, are you also thinking about your past mistakes?"

"... We really need a tree person who dares to embrace the burning, but unfortunately... everything is irreversible..."

It slowly stretched out its arms.

Under the arms outlined by the trunk-like limbs, there are densely packed blackened marks.

That is the mark and curse of fire...

…………

…………

“I know, they still can’t help it...”

“After the failure of the Sun, after the fall of the Tree Father... they finally! Still... reached their hands into the realm of ‘fire’!”

The Crown of Silence-Suwueli trembled all over.

The already yellow and decaying leaves fell to the ground one after another because of its overly violent emotional fluctuations.

Even so, Suwueli ignored it.

The fiery anger that should not have existed in the consciousness of the tree man for a long time made its voice full of sharp enough power.

As the most powerful tree man in the Deep Region, under its magnificent body, the roots that spread out like a spider web almost filled the entire Deep Region.

And under this kind of magnificence that is almost comparable to the World Tree, it has obtained a forbidden power far beyond that of ordinary tree men.

Its will is no longer limited by matter and nature. It can even cross the boundaries of time and try to bring back certain dangerous things from that lost time.

It was only the price that the tree man paid for coveting the great domain. It could no longer move like an ordinary tree man.

Even if it was just moving slowly, as if pacing, it was not allowed.

This was a curse, or maybe it was not just a curse - Sue'eri knew that it was a test given by the world, and it was examining whether it could shoulder the responsibility of a true world tree...

As for why this huge war that swept the entire world was launched, it was due to another more complicated reason...

"What are you talking about..."

The humanoid creature squatting on the other side, watching the two derivative subspecies fighting with interest, suddenly said with some boredom.

Perhaps Sue'eri's frequent "neurotic" behavior made it always feel that this tree man was close to madness.

This also made it more vigilant. Sure enough, even if it was for the purpose of gaining power, it was better not to try some taboo areas...

However, this guy would not go crazy at will.

There was no ritual this time...

As if thinking of something, the humanoid creature who didn't care at first suddenly became alert.

Having lived in the darkness for a long time, it has a keen sense of danger.

Suueli's sudden behavior made it inexplicably smell some signs of danger.

Although it was still shrouded in a layer of fog, it was obviously not very reassuring...

So after some operations, it suddenly stood up and roared beside the tree man:

"These dogs are willing to give up everything to win face!"

"Can such a monster be allowed in all the way? This is still a natural land!"

Suueli next to him looked at the humanoid creature that suddenly became irritable.

A hint of vigilance emerged in its powerful dark consciousness:

It must pay attention to the influence of the deep, and this mortal's mind seems to have some problems...
