Chapter 260 Broken Branch (5.6k 733 updates)

"Shuter, I give you one last chance! Go and lower the stone wall!" The huge human face stared at him and said in a deep voice.

Colin endured the pain, stumbled and murmured: "Dear Anilase...I don't know...why the stone wall suddenly rose?"

"You don't know... it's not the wall of ancient trees you raised?" The huge human face was stunned when he heard this.

‘Sure enough, the human face in front of me is just a consciousness born accidentally from Zan Zhi, and his understanding of the elven kingdom is very confusing. ’

Colin understood that during this period of time, he had read almost all the classics, which also meant that he understood most of the memories of the giant tree face.

The ability to raise the wall of ancient trees through the Emerald Throne was based on his speculation based on existing knowledge. The huge ancient tree probably only knew a little about it.

The queen entertains guests in the treasure hall, and every time she and the guests visit the ancient tree of life.

And every time, whether they are wizards or dragons, they all marvel at the magnificent true form of the ancient tree of life!

If the life that originally existed in the cave was indeed the legendary ancient tree of life, then if you want to see the whole thing, you can't just look at it from the arch under the stone wall.

It is even less likely that the queen is leading the guests into the grotto... Therefore, the most likely thing is that this stone wall carved with the ancient tree of life can actually rise!

When the huge human face was confused, the wind in the cave became stronger and stronger, making it more and more anxious.

boom! !

Suddenly, the vine suddenly swung, and Colin was thrown to the ground like a rag bag.

puff!

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from his mouth, and there seemed to be pieces of dark red meat mixed in. However, before Colin could react, brown vines strung him up again and carried him in front of the huge human face.

"Shutel, go and lower the wall of the ancient tree!"

Severe pain hit him like a tide. Colin shook his head, lowered his eyes, and still remained silent.

His condition seemed miserable, but his life-strengthening talent and a strange energy in his body kept him healthy.

If he guessed correctly, that energy was the blessing given to him by the ancient tree just now...

Of course, the main reason why he can still survive is because the giant tree shows mercy.

A dense green light lit up around the person's face, firmly blocking out the dirty wind around him.

The huge human face frowned, desperately thinking about how to lower the wall of the ancient tree.

But there was no such content in the memory left by the branch that gave birth to her... The Ancient Tree of Life never cared about this, and the respect of the elves or wizards was of no use to her.

However, the elves never think like this. In order to avoid disturbing the ancient tree of life, this wall of ancient trees looks ordinary, but it is the most valuable and solid existence in the entire palace above the blue sky!

Therefore, it is possible to isolate most of the dark red wind of pollution that blows every seven days.

But such sturdiness has brought huge trouble to the huge human face at this moment.

As a consciousness born from the broken branches that were actively abandoned by the ancient tree of life, it is inherently incomplete, so it is particularly afraid of the wind of pollution.

At this moment, there is no obstruction by the stone wall, and the body below has polluted tree tumors. The enemy is strong and we are weak, it is really difficult to resist!

"throne……"

Suddenly, the huge human face seemed to react and whispered.

"You are leaning on the throne to raise the wall of the ancient tree, right?"

When Colin heard this, his expression suddenly changed...

However, he had already expected to be noticed by the giant tree in front of him. He gritted his teeth and planned to delay it for a little longer!

Uh-huh! !

However, to Colin's surprise, the giant tree threw him to the ground without any care at this moment!

The force this time was much greater than the last time. If the last time was just a punishment, then this time he really wanted to kill Colin smoothly.

boom! ! !

Like a cannonball being fired, Colin fell to the ground and immediately made a huge pit!

The gray land also bulged due to the impact, and dark dust rose and flew in the red wind.

pain……

Severe pain!

Every part of his body felt like a crushed biscuit, and the pain came like a tide, almost overwhelming Colin's nerves and starting to cry.

But Jushu misjudged Colin's talent.

If it were an ordinary high elf with first-level strength, suffering such heavy injuries, he might have died.

However, not only did Colin not die, the innate strength in his body seemed to be provoked, and it turned on its full power, showing an unprecedented ability to recover!

'No! ’

Soon, Colin realized that this was not a sudden burst of life-strengthening talent, but another reason——

The abundant energy that was previously blessed by the giant tree was now mobilized by the life-strengthening talent! One after another, they all turned into nourishment for the life-strengthening talent.

Without these energies, he might not have died, but he would never have recovered so quickly.

After almost only a few breaths, Colin felt that his limbs had regained the ability to move.

The broken flesh and blood has healed, and all the broken bones have been repaired and connected...

However, although the ability to move has been restored, it is obvious that the better option at this moment is to maintain the status quo.

So Colin continued to lie at the bottom of the pit and pretended to be dead, but quietly cast defensive witchcraft to resist the wind of pollution that had begun to grow stronger.

‘Let’s see who can bear this wind of pollution to the end! ’

But just a few seconds later, a voice made him change his mind.

"Mom, what do you need me to do?" The elf Naxi woke up at this moment and was talking to the giant tree!

"Flower Elf, go sit on the throne outside and lower the wall of the ancient tree." The huge human face said urgently.

Its voice was indistinguishable from male to female, and it was a bit sharp at the moment due to anxiety.

But the elf Naxi didn't notice it at all. She seemed to have been used to it. She looked at the huge blurry human face with some fear, and then looked at the lower part of the giant tree that was emitting a familiar light at the moment.

It's her mother's breath... Naxi thought to herself, nodded, weakly flapped the slightly broken red wings on her back, and flew outside.

When Colin saw this, he almost wanted to stop Naxi immediately.

But after glancing at the giant tree that was glowing with light, he suppressed his thoughts and quietly waited for the right time.

The dark red wind kept blowing, but it seemed that it was because there was no windy day. Although it continued to accumulate, it still seemed a little weak.

As Naxi gets closer to the Emerald Throne, Colin becomes increasingly anxious.

But it seems that it will take a while for the dark red wind in the cave to reach the concentration when the wind blows.

The more anxious he became, the calmer he had to be. Lying at the bottom of the deep pit, feeling the coldness of the ground, Colin worked hard to activate the super brain.

Kakaka——

There was a slight noise!

'not good! ’ Colin’s expression changed. This subtle noise clearly meant that the wall of the ancient tree was falling!

On the other side, the color of the dark red wind has become darker, the huge human face has shrunk above the tree crown, and the dark red tree tumors below gradually spread out the dark red wind...

That’s right, burl!

As if he thought of something, Colin thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The next second, without any delay, the surging magic power in the body surged rapidly with such force that blood even oozed slightly from the skin. The fluctuations of witchcraft were brewing in Colin's slightly raised right palm.

"Huh? That Shutel is still alive?" The huge human face keenly noticed this fluctuation and was about to cast his gaze away.

But all he saw was a huge, orange-yellow, blazing, rolling and expanding fireball flying towards it!

"Weak attack..." Huge Man looked dismissive.

However, the next moment, when it noticed the real target of the fireball—the tree burls below, it suddenly became panicked.

"No!"

But by this time it was too late.

The blazing fireball drew a fatal arc and hit the tree burr hard.

The next moment, the dark red tree tumor that was attacked suddenly expanded, and then suddenly shrank!

Waves of deep purple wind were squeezed out and spread throughout the cave in an instant.

Buzz—!

The huge human face had no intention of paying attention to Colin at this moment. He spent all his energy on resisting the suddenly strong wind of pollution.

Colin, on the other hand, took advantage of this opportunity to fly out and quickly arrived in front of the Emerald Throne.

"What a giant... why are you here!" Naxi asked in surprise, then wiped the sweat from her forehead and added: "The wind is so hot, so annoying!"

"Naxi, raise the stone wall!"

However, Colin did not have time to chat with her, but said hurriedly.

Now that the intensity of the pollution wind is not low, he must use all his strength to ensure his normal activities.

"But, mom asked me to lower the stone wall..." Naxi looked back at the giant tree behind her and hesitated.

"That's not your mother, not Anilase!" Colin continued to shout.

The Ancient Tree of Life can easily break the defense on the throne, but it doesn't mean that he can also break it. Now that Naxi is on it, the throne will automatically protect her from external interference.

"Little Naxi, take a closer look at what's there!" Colin continued to persuade, pointing at the giant tree.

That is where the giant tree's thorn ring is. The body of the flower elf gestating on it at the moment, perhaps because the huge human face no longer has the energy to take care of it, is being constantly eroded by the wind of dark red pollution.

The brown-green branches gradually withered, and the flowers withered, because there was no real spirit, but just an empty shell of the flower spirit body falling to the ground.

Naxi looked in the direction of his finger. When she saw clearly, her face was slightly startled and confused.

In the past few days, although the giant tree has not been able to complete the ritual of transferring the true spirit, the two short attempts have also slightly peeled off the memory, cognition, and emotions attached to Naxi's true spirit.

But this level of peeling made Naxi's memory clear, like glass wiped away from dust.

A rare look of pain gradually appeared on Naxi's face.

She suddenly remembered a memory.

A memory that is unforgettable, almost engraved in the true soul.

However, such a profound memory seems to Naxi now more like watching other people's stories...but this story also made her understand everything.

At that time, "she" was the only one among the tree elves who had not fallen or been bewitched by the gods. She came to protect the ancient tree of life during the war.

But he was easily killed, and the true spirit failed to follow Anilase who fled from the abandoned branch and stayed in the cave.

Then, perhaps due to the strong vitality or the influence of some special power, a new consciousness was quickly born on the broken branches.

So with the help of consciousness, she was resurrected.

I thought it was Anilase who resurrected me, but I didn't expect it to be an angry parasitic consciousness that thought it was an ancient tree of life, but in fact was constantly consuming the power of the remaining branches.

However, Huge Face didn't seem to know this at that time, or in other words, he didn't admit it.

It also didn't know that she was the only flower elf who had not fallen. It just angrily killed the flower elf who did not admit that she was the ancient tree of life again, and then resurrected again.

This process was repeated many times over the next few decades.

The constant death and resurrection of the flower elves are on the one hand torture, and on the other hand the self-righteous atonement of the giant human face.

Fortunately, later, perhaps because of too much energy consumption, or perhaps because the parasitic consciousness was tired of it, this process was prolonged until the flower elf was completely infiltrated by the wind of pollution outside.

It was half a year at first, and then as the flower elf became more and more accustomed to it, this time became longer and longer. It has now been ten years, and it has been five years since Naxi was conceived.

Kakaka——

The wall of ancient trees gradually rises.

The dark red wind of pollution surged in!

"No—!" The huge human face on the giant tree noticed such a shocking change and screamed in despair.

But Naxi just frowned, turned to Colin and continued:

"What a giant, the ugly monster inside screams so scary."

As if in response to Naxi's words, the intensity of the dark red wind suddenly increased to a higher level.

The endless wind came from nowhere, but it blew into the cave. In the blink of an eye, a dark red and purple tornado was formed in the cave!

'It's windy...' Colin understood that this was the wind from the outside blowing here.

The parasitic consciousness that was originally extremely powerful because it was parasitic on the broken branches of the ancient tree of life, now encounters the wind of pollution, but it is like a mouse meeting a cat, with no resistance.

The huge purple tornado rotates rapidly. At the extreme order of magnitude, eliminating the parasitic consciousness is as easy as blowing out a small candle.

After just a few breaths, the desperate roar of the huge human face could no longer be heard.

Seeing this, Colin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense muscles all over his body relaxed.

"It's so hot, such a giant." Naxi suddenly said, her inexplicably pale face already covered with beads of sweat.

"not good!"

Seeing this scene, Colin also reacted immediately.

Although the roaring sound has disappeared, perhaps the parasitic consciousness has died, the wind of pollution shows no sign of stopping, and instead intensifies!

"Leave here with me, Naxi!" he whispered quickly.

"Yes!" Naxi did not hesitate, nodded vigorously, and flew into Colin's hood... The small bed there had been damaged due to the impact just now. Naxi pouted and reached out to grab the brim of the hat. .

Colin activated the Flame Soaring Technique and the Swiftness Technique, and tried his best to fly out of the palace!

However, after a few breaths, Colin keenly sensed something was wrong.

The further you go outside, the intensity of the dark red pollution wind not only does not decrease, but it continues to increase!

If this continued, he wouldn't be able to reach the bottom of the mountain and use the wooden hammer to leave.

‘You have to go back and lower the ancient tree wall again! ’

Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Colin instantly figured out the reason.

Although the huge human face in the cave should have dissipated in the wind, the remaining branches of the ancient tree of life are still there!

He suddenly realized that this wind would probably continue to intensify until the remaining branches of the ancient tree of life were completely wiped away!

"Naxi, we have to go back and lower the ancient tree wall again! Otherwise, the wind will not stop!" Colin briefly explained the reason to Naxi, and raced against time to return to the stone wall.

But the previous wrong choice was a waste of time after all. On the way back, Colin only felt the heat in his heart getting stronger and stronger.

The crazy and weird whispers echoed in his ears like gangrene, making him even more upset!

‘Hurry, go through this corridor and you will reach the treasure hall! ’ Colin gritted his teeth and shook his head vigorously.

"Good giant, what's wrong with you?" Naxi asked with concern. Her face was very pale at the moment, and beads of sweat were rolling down her face.

But overall he still looks better than Colin.

Colin's consciousness was already a little blurry at this moment, and Naxi's concerned words sounded strange and distorted to him, as if they came from the deep water or a very distant sky.

‘The stone wall is right in front of you. If you climb this step, you can reach the throne! ’ He secretly cheered himself up, his heart beating like a drum, and his breathing heavy like a neighing.

There is no extra magic power to maintain the flying witchcraft, and all the power is concentrated on defense.

One step, two steps... Colin had no choice but to rely on his body's strength to step up the steps.

Little Naxi flew anxiously next to him. The strong wind made her body sway, and she had to use all her strength to fly smoothly.

Three steps, four steps... Colin lost all his strength before the finish line. He fell to his knees, leaning over and panting violently.

"What a giant!" Naxi shouted anxiously.

"Go... to... Shi... Shi..." Colin's consciousness was in chaos, and his expression was weird and distorted.

Chaotic babbles filled the entire brain, almost overwhelming it!

"Go and lower the... stone wall..." He used the last of his strength to say a stumbling sentence, then lost his strength and collapsed to the ground.

"What a giant!" the elf shouted anxiously.

However, Colin did not have the strength to answer.

Fortunately, Naxi remembered Colin's words. She hesitated for a moment and quickly flew towards the Emerald Throne.

The dark red wind is like yellow sand, blocking the field of vision and making this insignificant distance become far away.

"Yeah!" Little Naxi puffed up her cheeks, shouted hard, and flew forward with all her strength.

Rusty.

There were originally some broken crystal wings on the back, but now they were being blown by the wind of pollution, and debris was falling continuously.

Finally, with a small part of the wings below falling off, she finally flew to the Emerald Throne.

The next second.

Kakaka——

The thick and magnificent wall of ancient trees sank again.

boom.

The stone wall completely subsided, but it was not as Colin thought. The dark red wind would gradually subside.

These winds of pollution have no intention of stopping, but are still getting stronger.

Just like... just like the wind of pollution that blows every seven days, it seems to take a whole day to stop!

"What should I do?!" Naxi noticed this scene and stood on the emerald green throne, looking anxious.

She looked at Colin, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker. She felt extremely panicked. Her bright red eyes were suddenly covered with hazy mist, and she was about to cry.

Bang!

Suddenly, a dull explosion came from behind, and at the same time there was a familiar breath...

"Mom's breath..." Naxi murmured. She looked at the stone wall behind her and then at Colin. She seemed to have thought of something and quickly flew back to Colin.

"Hmm!" She grabbed Colin's collar and flapped her wings vigorously.

I don’t know where she got the strength to lift Colin up, then carried Colin staggeringly across the phantom under the stone wall, and returned to the cave.

"Hiss...is this here?"

After a few breaths, Colin woke up.

"You're awake, what a giant!" Naxi shouted in surprise.

Colin looked at her and understood everything immediately,

"Thank you, Naxi." He felt moved and sincerely thanked her.

However, the next second, Colin suddenly noticed something strange.

He felt the almost non-existent wind of pollution around him, and looked at the familiar scenes around him, feeling suddenly startled in his heart.

‘What happened? There is no pollution wind in the cave? ’

And not only that, not only was there no pollution wind in the cave, but there was also a soft and warm power that was inexplicably filled with it.

This force was continuing to warm him, calming the heat in his heart and accelerating the recovery of his injuries.

Almost subconsciously, Colin turned his head and looked at the place where the giant tree originally existed.

There, there was no sign of the giant tree.

In its place was a large circular shallow pit covered with green grass and flowers.

And in the middle of the shallow pit, there is a huge... golden branch!
