Chapter 247 The Tree King Sanctuary, Hiding the Secrets of the Entire World

The distorted ripples gradually smoothed out, and everything in front of him returned to normal.

Ryan opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a pair of eyes full of concern and as bright as stars.

"Mr. Lane, are you okay?" Freni's face was full of worry.

While speaking, she reached out to hold Ryan's palm and made a preliminary check. After confirming that Ryan was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and then asked: "How is Cecilia's assessment going?"

Ryan calmed down and said with a smile: "Of course, no problem."

The second he finished speaking, the small gray tree emitted a glistening light, and a strong and slender figure appeared from it.

Long silver-white hair, silver-white eyes, smooth but powerful plump thighs...

Cecilia's eyelashes trembled slightly, then slowly opened them.

She seemed to have taken a deep sleep, and her eyes that had just woken up were hazy.

But soon, after sensing the dreamy aura, the haze in her eyes quickly faded away.

"Lady Freni!"

Looking at the girl wearing a fluffy big witch hat not far ahead, Cecilia quickly stepped forward and was about to kneel down on one knee.

But Freni took one step ahead of her and gently hugged him into her arms: "It's great that you're okay."

The long-lost and familiar warmth gradually relaxed Cecilia's tense face.

During her time in the Shadow of the Tree and the Dark Necropolis, she tried the challenge again and again. Every time she died, she would lose part of her memory. But even in the end, her memory was broken and unbearable, and only the obsession to complete the trial remained. , in her heart, she still deeply remembers her responsibilities and the bond between herself and Lady Freni.

Every wasted moment was a great torment for her.

Now, she was finally able to relax.

Ryan stood aside with a smile, not disturbing the two women's "long separation" charge.

For Freni, it was a separation that lasted more than a hundred years, and for Cecilia, although Ryan didn't know how long it was, it would definitely not be a short time.

After a moment, Cecilia, who calmed down, came to Ryan and saluted solemnly: "Mr. Ryan, thank you very much..."

"This time, if it weren't for your help, I'd probably sink into the dark necropolis forever."

"Death is not unacceptable to me, but if it delays Lady Freni, then I will die without redemption. I..."

Cecilia was about to say something else, but Ryan interrupted her:

"There is no need to say these kind words between us."

"Come and take a look."

Ryan pointed to the small gray tree not far ahead.

Hearing this, the two women also cast their gaze over.

They had forgotten to pay attention to this small gray tree in the excitement of meeting again after a long separation.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that the small tree had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a slowly rotating gray magic circle.

"According to the information told by 'it', the three of us have completed the assessment. Next, we can go to a place called the 'Tree King Sanctuary'."

"I believe there should be some things we want to know there."

"It?" Cecilia was a little concerned about the "it" in Ryan's mouth.

"I don't know what it is. In short, when we were forced to enter this place and wake up, what I saw were the prompts from 'it'." Ryan said in a deep voice:

"I am a 'traveler' and you two are 'assessors'. It is precisely because of my identity that I can enter your assessment world and help you complete the 'assessment'."

"That's the general information. I don't know anything more."

After listening to Ryan's story, Freni took a deep breath.

Compared to Cecilia, who spent hundreds of years in the Tree Country's Dark Necropolis in a state of ignorance, she spent hundreds of years in the Capital of Tree Kingdom with full consciousness.

Everything in the Kingdom of Trees, now that she thinks about it, is still vivid in her mind.

Such a large country involves all aspects. If it is fabricated out of thin air, it will require so much computing power that even a true god cannot afford it.

What’s the point of paying such a huge price for an assessment?

With this thought in mind, Freni followed Ryan and Cecilia into the gray magic circle.

With the bumps in the teleportation, the vision in front of him experienced distortion, and then returned to normal.

Ryan looked around and found that he, Freni and Cecilia had arrived at a strange place.

The huge gray root system penetrates deeply into the ground, and its surface is stained with large areas of sticky blood.

Countless corpses and bones were piled on the roots of the tree, and it was difficult to count them at a glance.

here it is--

"The base of the sacred tree?"

Ryan guessed subconsciously.

It's not hard to guess.

Besides the Holy Tree, what other tree can have such a huge root system?

Plus this representative gray...

The three of them didn't wait long. Under the sacred tree, above the platform paved with countless skeletons, a figure emerged from the rippled air.

It has a human body, but its entire body is emitting a gray-red light, making it impossible to see its appearance and physical features.

"You finally came……"

A sigh full of complicated meanings echoed for a long time.

Ryan noticed that the gray-red man was facing Freni, who was standing in the middle of the three.

Obviously, this sentence was exactly what Freine said.

Does it know Freni?

Lian was filled with doubts, but he did not rush to speak. Instead, he planned to continue listening to what the unknown gray-red man was going to say next.

After staring at Freni for ten seconds, the gray-red man turned his gaze away from Freni and turned to Ryan and Cecilia beside him.

"Traveler and Moon Wolf..."

"Long time no see."

The gray-red man's tone was full of sighs. Before Ryan and the other two could understand his words, he continued:

"I know you have many doubts."

"But unfortunately, I don't know much."

"Because I am just a phantom left here by someone, with only fixed memories."

"And the content of this memory is what I am going to tell you, the secret of the whole world hidden by the golden tree."

The gray-red man's words set off a storm in the hearts of Ryan and the other two.

The secret of the whole world hidden by the golden tree? !

Ignoring the reactions of Ryan and the other two, the Gray-Red Man continued:

"This is the deepest part of the Ash Sea, and also the bottom of the Holy Tree - Saint Miris. At the same time, it is also the only place in the world that can completely block the exploration of the Golden Tree."

"The Holy Tree - Saint Miris is a product that someone used a special weapon to peel off the pure branches from the Golden Tree and then grew after targeted cultivation. The existence of the Ash Sea was slowly formed under the influence of the Holy Tree - Saint Miris."

"As for why this is done, it is because someone wants to leave the last hope for this world."

At this point, the Gray-Red Man paused, and then he spoke solemnly:

"The Golden Tree has been eroded, and what eroded it is a power from a higher dimension outside the sky."

"This The erosion force is so strong that even the golden tree can only delay it, but cannot eradicate it. "

"It is precisely because of the emergence of this erosion force that the world has deteriorated. "

"You should know about spirits, right?"

"In essence, spirits are not native to this world, but the effect of the erosion force, forming fruits on the golden tree, which are portals that transport the creatures from the world where the source of the erosion force is located to this world."

"The erosion of the golden tree is inevitable. In order to leave the last hope, the holy tree-Saint Miris was created. It has grown together with the purified crystal of the erosion force since childhood, forming a symbiosis, and finally gave birth to it."

The gray-red man raised his hand, and three gray-red spiral needles about ten centimeters long.

"This thing is called 'Saint Miris's Thorn'. Now, I give it to you."

"The erosion suffered by the golden tree is far more terrible than the erosion of 'emptiness' that you have experienced in the holy tree assessment world. Once it is infected, there is no possibility of healing."

"And the 'Saint Miris's Thorn' can delay the erosion to the greatest extent."

"You will eventually need it..."

Three 'Saint Miris's Thorns' flew out from the palm of the gray-red man and flew to Ryan and the other two respectively, and the gray-red man's body also became transparent at this moment.

"My mission has been completed. Later, the teleportation array arranged here will teleport you and your ship to a safe place."

"Then, goodbye... No, it's goodbye forever, three of you."

Without giving Ryan and the other two any chance to speak, after leaving this last sentence, the gray-red man's body completely faded. Before disappearing, its eyes still fell on Furenee, unwilling to move away at all.

Ryan raised his hand with mixed feelings, letting the "Thorn of Saint Miris" fall on his palm.

——

[Thorn of Saint Miris]: A special item that was specially cultivated and nurtured by the Holy Tree-Saint Miris for a long time, which has the effect of suppressing a certain special corrosive force. Each person can only use it once.

ps: This is the last hope and the last purity.

——

The panel's introduction to this item is very brief.

It is roughly consistent with the introduction of the gray-red man.

When Ryan and the other two put away the item, the next moment, the rich gray-red light completely engulfed their bodies.

"Boom--!"

The Ash Sea, the center.

The Holy Tree-Saint Miris, which grew between the present world and the void, trembled.

The bark on its surface began to wither, and the roots began to shrink. Finally, it disappeared here, leaving only a huge sinkhole that could not be submerged by the sea.

Above the sky, a crack appeared, and a huge golden eye emerged from behind, quietly staring at the sinkhole below.

Countless golden runes flowed at high speed in the huge one-eyed eye. Finally, the crack closed and the one-eyed eye disappeared.

…

“Swish…”

The sound of the sea water hitting the board was transmitted to Ryan’s perception.

With the appearance of the sound, the quietness around was broken and gradually restored to life.

Ryan opened his eyes and exhaled lightly.

After the transmission at the bottom of the sacred tree began, his perception and five senses were blocked and fell into darkness.

Although he did not faint, the experience was not much different from fainting.

Looking around, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Freni and Cecilia who were still in a coma on the deck.

Although they were in a coma, the breath of the two women was very stable and they should be able to wake up later.

After letting go of his mind, Ryan began to observe the situation around him.

The gray-red man said he would teleport them to a safe place, but that guy was a phantom left behind many years ago, and it was impossible for him to know the changes in the outside world.

What if the safe place he said has now become a dangerous place?

Ryan never relies on the words of others for his safety.

Looking around, Ryan's eyes showed surprise.

This is a fairly calm sea area, the sea water is as blue as a reflection of the sky.

In the distance, there is a huge island with a faint outline in the mist.

No, it is not appropriate to say that it is an island. The outline that can't be seen at the end of the sight is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small land.

Where is this?

Ryan thought for a moment and took out the treasure map from the space ring.

This treasure map was originally used to guide to a ruin somewhere in the Ash Sea, but now, it can be used to judge the current area by relative distance.

After checking, Ryan frowned.

"Is this, leaving the Inner Sea area?"

The treasure map shows that he is now located far south of the ruins, and the coordinates shown are the southernmost part of the treasure map.

This is the limit of the treasure map, but not the actual distance limit.

And so far south of the Ash Sea, it is probably out of the scope of the Inner Sea area.

"New Sea Area?"

Ryan pondered.

He didn't know much about the information of the New Sea Area.

He only knew that for professionals in the Inner Sea Area to reach here, Legend was the lowest threshold.

And the New Sea Area also has a nickname passed down by the world-the New World!

Ryan's frown gradually relaxed.

If he had just entered the Magnetic Thunder Sea and was about to set foot in the New World, he would definitely be nervous at this moment.

But now, he has the strength to defeat the peak demigod. Although he dare not say that he is absolutely invincible in the New Sea Area, it is not a big problem to protect himself.

As for Freni and Cecilia...

Ryan also found out.

After the test of the Holy Tree, the auras of the two women have been greatly improved. Their specific strengths can only be known after they wake up, but they are definitely not weak.

"The direction is unclear at the moment, let's wait for the captain to wake up."

Ryan thought.

However, Ryan did not wait for the two women to wake up, but waited for an accident first.

A purple-black hawk flew from a distance and hovered over the [Black Rose], as if observing something.

Not long after, on the sea in the distance, in the mist, a huge warship slowly sailed out, and the skull flag fluttering on its bow made Ryan's eyes appear strange.

"New sea area, there are still pirates?"
