Chapter 1281 85. The Dusty Secret

Now Dustwallow Marsh has turned into a vast shallow lake. Perhaps because of the rainy season, the green grass by the lake extends into the clear water.

The shallow lake is like a magnificent sapphire inlaid in the black forest. Walking out of the dense forest, standing by the lake, it suddenly opens up. The clear water, blue sky, gray clouds and the dense red pine forest on the shore form a quiet and beautiful scene. screen.

A blue-tailed beibei bird flies across the lake, its light body is like a flash of lightning piercing into the clear lake water, and a faint splash of water comes up, with a white scaled beak in its mouth The fish, the fish kept struggling in the mouth of the beibei bird, trying to escape back into the lake, the beibei bird flapped its wings on the lake, and flew up with a 'puff puff'.

The moment Beibei got out of the water, crystal water droplets splashed everywhere.

The indigenous girl had never seen such a large diving lake in her life, and she looked at the lake with joy.

They patted Gubolai horse's neck affectionately, then jumped off the horse, took off their leather boots and cotton socks, stepped barefoot on the soft grass, rolled up their trousers with their hands, revealing a snow-white calf, with a face full of Step into the shallow lake with joy.

Katerina and I stood on the shore, and this shallow lake area does not seem to have any traces of Nebulu spiders ever setting foot.

The tauren Luka sat down on the grass and gasped for breath. He hadn't run like this for a long time, and he was sweating profusely after running all the way from the Trum camp to the lake.

An ancient Bolai horse stepped into the lake water, lowered its head and drank the lake water.

Katerina stood beside me on horseback, and said softly, "I've been wondering why I didn't choose to build the town of Trume by the lake. The scenery here is really beautiful."

I turned my head to look at her delicate face with a beautiful smile, and couldn't help but say, "If you want to change your mind now, it's still too late."

"Really?" She looked at me with a half-smile and asked.

"Just kidding." I said quickly.

Seeing Katerina run away angrily, I yelled at her: "We can build a smaller camp by the lake than Trum Town, or simply build a lakeside manor here..."

……

The four Guborai horses galloped across the lake like the wind, and Luka the tauren galloped behind us with all his might.

In the shallow lake, there is a sand island not far away. Some reeds and water celery grow on these sand islands, and some sand islands grow one or two water willows. These sand islands are habitats for water birds. They live on sandy islands, almost completely avoiding those predators on land.

We have gone deep into the center of the shallow lake, and we can see the ancient war tree in the middle of the lake from a distance. It looks like an emerald green hill standing in the middle of the lake.

We rode the ancient Bolai horse for a long time, but we still felt that we were separated by a long distance.

I haven't seen it for more than a month, and this ancient war tree has grown a lot taller. I think it has grown to at least 150 meters, and I can't even see the leaves on the crown of the tree.

The rough face on the trunk is clearer than before, it is clearly the face of an elderly man, with long beard and eyebrows, a smiling face emerges, and even two arms grow out on both sides of the trunk, which looks somewhat Funny, like a broken dead tree branch, but the two hanging dead tree arms are at least six to seventy meters long, and they are also branched, with clusters of branches and leaves growing from the dead tree arms.

We came to his feet, and he looked as tall as a mountain of pillars piercing the clouds.

This can't help but make me wonder if those pillar mountains in the Black Forest are transformed from giant trees higher than the ancient war trees.

The ancient war tree shook its canopy slightly, and slowly opened its huge eyes, and the wooden eyes actually glowed with spirit.

The face on the tree trunk showed a smile, and a deafening voice came from above my head: "Welcome, my friend!"

Seeing the deafening sound of the ancient war tree, the two indigenous girls knelt on the root of a giant tree very piously. They almost stuck their bodies to the root of the tree, as if they were whispering, and seemed to be facing the ancient war tree. in prayer.

The Yero natives regard these ancient war trees as their patron saints. Facing an ancient war tree that can speak, the two girls showed the most pious appearance.

"Mr. Dashu, you look taller again, and you are a little different from before!" I raised my head and shouted to him with some difficulty.

"Hahaha!" The ancient war tree burst into laughter, and even the gray clouds in the sky caused a wave of fluctuation, like a pebble thrown into the pool, causing ripples.

Afterwards, the arm hanging from the ancient war tree began to move slowly, and the huge tree actually looked like a real arm, and it crossed in front of me with a creaking sound.

Only then did I realize how strong this sixty-meter-long giant wooden arm is, and it takes at least ten people to join hands to surround it. It is like a tall tree wall in front of me.

Katerina led me to jump onto the five-meter-high tree wall. I stood on the arm of the ancient war tree, as small as an ant in front of an elephant.

Luka followed closely behind, using both hands and feet, using all his strength to climb onto the tree wall and stand side by side with us.

Suddenly a violent tremor almost knocked me off the wall of the tree, and this giant tree actually carried us up, until it held us in front of the Ancient War Tree, and then stopped slowly.

I didn't expect that the two arms of the ancient war tree can move freely, which means that its combat power has been doubled. It is quite important for me to have such a powerful helper lurking in Dustwallow Marsh .

I even think that a small town should be built on the small island in the middle of the lake of the ancient war tree, which can almost completely be blessed by this ancient war tree.

The tone of the ancient tree of war eased, and he said to me: "In the past few days, I have recovered some of my previous memories in constant sleep. It reminds me of a long time ago, when I was a very young war tree."

I didn't expect the 'Essence of Life' to have such a powerful effect.

"I'm glad that drop of 'Life Essence' can help you so much!" I said to the Ancient Tree of War.

Then the ancient war tree said to me: "By the way, through the spiritual connection between the dryads, I know what happened in the Green Valley Forest. Those powerful fighters did a good job in the Green Valley Forest!"

I said to the ancient tree of war: "If it weren't for the dryad in the Green Valley Forest and the dryads in the forest to help us with all our strength, my barbarian slaves and orc warriors would not be able to win. Of course, thanks to the Green Valley Forest The Yero people inside, their fighters are very brave!"

When he blinked, the huge wooden eyelids were like a wooden sliding door, and one eye of the Ancient War Tree was as big as a small house.

The ancient tree of war said to me: "I thought you would wait until the moment when the Green Valley Forest wins, and then you will come back here!"

I looked at him in astonishment, and he continued: "Actually, even if you don't come at that time, I will call you through the dryads in two days, because I have something to tell you."

It paused for a while, and then asked me: "It's just that you came to me at this time, did you encounter any problems?"

I shook my head, stood in front of the ancient war tree, took off the emerald green leaf from my neck, put it in front of its eyes as much as possible, and said to him: "I came to see you because of this pendant!"

I continued to say to it: "I know it must be very important to you. When we first arrived in Green Valley, it also helped us a lot."

The ancient tree of war looked at the key of power in my hand with a serious face, but didn't say anything, just listened to me quietly: "And when I wear it around my neck, I use the key of spirit to It is a wonderful feeling that the sea can hear the breathing and talking of the trees that have grown into dryads in the surrounding forest, and it feels like I can also talk to those dryads."

Ancient War Tree's eyes widened again, and he asked me, "You came here specifically for the 'Key of Power'?"

I nodded heavily at the ancient tree of war, I want to know the secret of this key of power.

Ancient Tree of War's gaze completely fell on me, he said so many words, I'm even used to his deafening voice: "Well, actually, I'm going to tell you about this, do you want to Listen to a long story?"

I nodded to him again. In fact, I think that since it is telling a secret story, it is also possible to communicate with me on a spiritual level.

It's just that this ancient war tree didn't seem to have this idea at all, and he directly entered a state of memory.

A green leaf appeared in my spiritual sea, a layer of green light appeared around this floating leaf, and then this layer of green light continued to expand, appearing in my spirit like a circle of light Sea.

The sound of rolling thunder came from above my head, and the voice of the ancient war tree sounded from my ears: "Actually, this key of power is the second seal on my body!"

"..." I opened my eyes wide and looked at the Ancient War Tree speechlessly, I couldn't believe my ears.

"I remember that was a long time ago, and the forest on the Hierro plane was at least five times bigger than it is now."

In fact, until now, I am not sure how big this black forest is. I didn't expect that the black forest in the past was even more vast.

The voice of the ancient tree of war was very low, and it said: "At that time, there was a tree of the world in this forest, and it was the real master of the Yerro plane."

"Did another world tree exist here before?" I thought in my heart.

The Ancient War Tree seemed to know what I was thinking, and continued to tell me: "The World Tree has extremely powerful power. It is the protector of this forest and our master."

"It rules over all the trees in this forest. There were at least [-] ancient war trees in this forest at the time, and the dryads in the forest couldn't count their number."

"Don't say that the big lizards with wings above the clouds don't dare to come out of the clouds easily, even the dragons in Dragon City don't dare to run to the plane of Ye Luo easily."

"Until one day, the tree of the world realized that it was about to reach the end of its life, so it worried that after it died, it would attract powerful monsters to plunder its remnant and destroy the entire Hierro plane, so it started to move around. Find for yourself the secret place to hide your body after death."

"It puts most of its energy on traveling to the star realms of the outer domains to find secret realms, but in this way it ignores the black forest in the Hierro plane."

"The Ancient War Trees guarding the Black Forest realized that the World Tree was about to perish, and a new World Tree would be born in the Black Forest, so a group of extremely powerful Ancient War Trees began to gather their tree spirits. A protracted war has been waged in the Black Forest, and this war has almost involved all the ancient war trees in the Black Forest..."
