Chapter 89 Death Tree Monster
The Wailing Banshee Forest during the day is completely different from the night.
The forest was shrouded in a thick fog, the visibility was only twenty or thirty meters, and it was extremely quiet.
Outside the forest, some chaotic fighting explosions could be vaguely heard. They started continuously last night and lasted all night. It was not until the day that it became calmer. I don't know what the fighting situation was like between the two warring parties.
Lei Luo was unmoved.
Like an experienced hunter, his movements were extremely slow, and even his breathing became cautious.
However, the wailing banshee wandering in the forest at night seems to have disappeared during the day. Lei Luo has been wandering around for a long time, but has gained nothing.
Due to the heavy fog, even the location of the battle last night was lost.
It seems that these wailing banshees only roam freely in the forest at night.
"Look for a while longer. If we still can't find any trace of the Wailing Banshee, we have to go outside the forest to look for the team from the Temple of Wisdom. I don't know what the situation will be like after last night's fierce battle."
Feeling quite heavy, Lei Luo murmured to himself.
Walking forward, Lei Luo, who was on full alert, suddenly noticed something. The energy of the robe flashed, and a layer of dragon pattern protective cover emerged.
With a "bang" sound, a branch and vine covered with black fluff was intercepted by the protective shield, and Lei Luo flew back.
At this moment, Lei Luo's body was no different from that of some trainee knights.
"Humble human, I am an ancient remnant protected by the great goddess of wisdom. Any human who enters the Wailing Forest will be the enemy of the great goddess of wisdom. Get out of the Wailing Forest now. This is your last chance."
Looking through the thick fog, it turned out to be a giant tree about five meters in diameter, with vines flying all over the sky on branches dozens of meters high.
Lei Luo's distance at this moment was the attack limit of this tree monster, which was about fifty meters. Lei Luo actually felt some of the death aura of the wailing banshee from this terrifying tree monster.
An ancient remnant protected by the great goddess of wisdom?
Lei Luo's brain was spinning rapidly as he thought.
After a while, I finally remembered the introduction about the ancient tree of fear in a book in the Black Widow Pharmacy.
According to legend, more than 3,000 years ago, an ancient death tree deep in the thorn forest mutated. In one night, it slaughtered a small tribe it protected and integrated their heads into its own body. .
This ancient tree of death also became the ancient tree of fear.
This ancient fear tree has the ability to move, constantly plundering and killing all intelligent creatures it sees, using their heads as its own organs, gradually evolving incredibly strange and powerful powers, and becoming a widely spread legend in the thorn forest. A horrific nightmare.
"Are you the death tree?"
Lei Luo asked tentatively and carefully retreated to a safer distance.
"Knowing too much does you no good, human."
Lei Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this terrifying creature admitting his identity as the Death Tree.
If it is really a death tree, compared to the legendary death tree that is hundreds of meters tall, this death tree is undoubtedly just a sapling.
I don’t know where the goddess of wisdom found such a death tree sapling.
etc?
Lei Luo suddenly thought of something.
The long growth cycle of the death tree, according to the description in the book, can easily last ten thousand years, and this space node is on the verge of collapse. The goddess of wisdom transplanted the death tree seedling here. Obviously, it was not just a transplant, but probably for protection. something.
On the way here, the young swordsman couple said that the space node responsible for guarding the moon crystal veins was also on the verge of collapse...
Could it be that this is where you are talking about! ?
Lei Luo had almost never thought about such a coincidence.
"I wonder if you still insist on the deal of sacrificing your life?"
Lei Luo's roar made the death saplings that were wreaking havoc in the distance slowly stop, and they looked at this tiny human seriously. He actually seemed to know something about his ancient heritage.
"I am far from mature enough to be able to conduct sacrifices."
Lei Luo didn't care, and took out a small bottle of pale golden reagent from the extremely precious space box. After opening the bottle cap, an astonishing breath of life filled the air. This was the mysterious liquid extracted from Lili!
Suddenly, the death tree seedling roared in surprise.
"This is the taste of the potential fruit!"
Possessing some ancient inherited memories, the Death Sapling has extraordinary insight into some high-level monsters, especially those that help it grow.
"Potential Fruit?"
Lei Luo said calmly: "I will use this bottle of potential fruit juice in exchange for a piece of moon crystal."
If the moon crystal can be obtained, Lei Luo will have no reason to continue to stay in this space node. Although these potential fruit liquids are precious, they can slowly strengthen Lei Luo's body and suppress the weird anomalies in the body, but compared to the moon crystal, Lei Luo In his eyes, it was far inferior.
"Moonstone? You mean the stone that the Gulan Demonic Eyes believe in, that can give them infinite power?"
The dead sapling chuckled.
"I don't have this kind of stone. Although there is a vein of moonstone in this space node, it only produces a few pieces every year. They have to be handed over to the Temple of Wisdom as scheduled, and the guardian there is not as easy to talk to as me, hum. "
Easy to talk to?
Lei Luo sneered, if you weren't still a seedling and restricted by the scope of your activities, you might have become fertilizer before you even opened your mouth, so you wouldn't have anything to say.
"Tell me all the information about the moonstone veins and the guardian, and I can give you one-third of the potential juice."
Lei Luo retreated and sought the next best option.
For the moon crystal, Lei Luo is bound to get it. This is Lei Luo's clear key to studying the true laws of the universe and starry sky.
As for the Wailing Banshee, it is just a possible substitute. Although the possibility is slim, Lei Luo is not willing to miss any possibility.
"make a deal!"
The death sapling agreed simply and neatly.
Lei Luo was a little surprised, but still didn't say anything. After using another small glass bottle to divide one third of the potential liquid, the energy of the necklace around his neck flashed, summoning the Frost Wolf.
This ice wolf, about one and a half meters long, continued to emit frosty white mist in all directions. After receiving Lei Luo's potential juice with his mouth, he walked towards the dead sapling in the mist.
"Hahahaha, it does taste like the potential fruit!"
The dead sapling let out an excited cry, looking extremely satisfied.
"The moon crystal mineral vein is in that direction. It is divided into a main path and a branch path. As for the guardian inside, it is an ashes puppet!"
Ashes puppet?
Lei Luo had never heard of such a thing.
"what is that?"
"That's something passed down from an older civilization in the Land of Star Curtain in the historical gap before the Gulan Civilization!"
Regarding historical faults, Lei Luo certainly knew something.
It seems that it was a historical period before the ancient Oran civilization. There was a long historical blank period in the land of Star Curtain. I don’t know what happened.
"knew."
As for the ashes puppets, Lei Luo didn't think much about it. Since those blasphemers had occupied this space, the guardians of the two resource points would naturally find a way to clean them out.
Lei Luo frowned and was about to leave, but the Death Sapling refused to accept it and said: "What can I use in exchange for the remaining potential fruit juice you have?"
Lei Luo stopped for a moment, thought for a while and said: "The grievance beads of the wailing banshee."
Well?
Lei Luo originally had the attitude of giving it a try and didn't have much hope. However, the next words of the Death Sapling made Lei Luo stunned.
"How much do you want?"
Lei Luo realized that his thinking might be wrong.
"50?"
Facing Lei Luo's whimsical lion's mouth, the death sapling was not angry, but looked like it was thinking for a moment. It seemed that it was not impossible for it to do this, but it was just unwilling to do so because of some scruples.
"From the moment my wisdom awakened, I took on the mission of protecting the wailing banshees, and I was also responsible for protecting their death resentment beads. 50 of them would be too many, and they would be discovered by other wailing banshees. I can't do this. "
The death sapling made a decision and said firmly: "At most... 5."
"Five? I can only give you another third of the potential fluid."
It turns out that this death tree is actually the protector of the wailing banshee!
Lei Luo suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, but looked extremely reluctant on the surface. He took a deep breath and responded calmly.
"Can."
The harvest far exceeded expectations. However, while Lei Luo traded the five resentment beads, he added additional conditions and asked: "Is the thing you are guarding here related to prehistoric civilization?"
"no."
After receiving the response from the death sapling, Lei Luo nodded, said nothing more, and quickly left the Wailing Forest with 5 resentment beads.
