Lord Highlander

   Chapter 1299 1286. Ruins of the World Tree

The exploration team finally entered the cave, and Suldak found that there were no stalactites in the cave at all, and the interior space was much larger than the cave entrance, and some ghost-patterned soldiers could be seen in the depths of the cave. Peeping, they seem to be scared by Gulitum, hiding in those hidden stone crevices, and have no idea of ​​killing them at all.

The light in the depths of the cave seemed a bit dim, only some cracks in the rocks were condensed with an amber luster. Suldak looked up and saw that there were some meswax mixed in the cracks of the rocks. This kind of spar is sold in the magic market. It is a kind of magic gem.

Suldak used his epee to pry off a palm-sized piece, which looked like amber and topaz. There was a faint halo flowing in the gem, and Suldak released some holy light, which penetrated into the gem very smoothly. .

   "Is this a magic gem?" Selena followed behind him, curiously looking over it.

  Suldak nodded and said: "Although I don't know what kind of gem it is, it should have a high value, with good magic conductivity and magic power increase..."

Taking advantage of the time when the exploration team was resting on the spot, Suldak set up an altar and sacrificed the heads of three demon warriors, blessing Gullitum, Carrie Decker and himself with 'insight', so Even if there is some dim light in the cave, it doesn't seem to affect them.

   And Selena is the servant of the Evernight Goddess, with an unparalleled affinity in the dark.

  Suldak walked a few steps into the cave, and saw some yellow gem veins in a crack...

   Just as Suldak was thinking about ‘could this cave be a natural gemstone mine’, Selina came up and said to Suldak in an unusually calm voice:

"This tree of life has been dead for at least ten thousand years, and the entire tree root has been completely petrified. These yellow crystals were originally the blood in this big tree. Later, these big trees died completely, and the blood of the tree was also in this big tree. The inside of the tree slowly condenses into spar."

  Suldak found that when Selina said this, her eyes were closed, and her face had a faint radiance, which looked like a great prophet in some temple.

"These ghost-striped red ants are likely to be the instigators of this disaster." Then she said: "Although the ghost-striped red ants live in the body of the world tree, they have not been able to become advanced monsters until now, but the whole group is It's constantly deteriorating..."

  Listening to Selena's eloquent talk, Suldak looked at Selena with some doubts.

  Selena's body shook slightly, she stopped in her tracks, and then opened her eyes, as if she suddenly woke up.

   When he looked at Suldak again, his eyes were full of tenderness.

  This proves that the real Selena is back. Seeing Suldak staring at her, she blushed slightly and admitted in a low voice:

"She came here just now, and she told me that this place is the remains of the world tree, the ancient **** of nature. She may have been inspired by the relics here, so she took the opportunity to lower a ray of consciousness and come to take a look." Selina She followed up, took Suldak's arm, and whispered, "And she also reminded us that this world tree has been completely petrified, and the body has no value, but these gems should be pretty good."

   "Is this really a world tree?" Suldak asked seriously.

   "Yes." Selena nodded affirmatively.

"The tree roots alone are bigger than the city of Bena. I really want to know how tall it is." Suldak said with some emotion, and then added some imagination, saying: "Do you know, our The magician flew above the clouds, but he didn't even see the peak... Do you think there is a huge umbrella-shaped canopy above the sky? Or there may still be some indigenous people living there, or how many trees can be built on that huge canopy? Come, a city in the sky!"

  Selena blinked, smiled and said, "If you want to know the answer, try to find it here."

  While the two were chatting, Carrie Decker, who entered the cave to explore the way, came back with a magic shotgun on his shoulders and swinging his two long legs.

   "How's the situation inside?" Suldak leaned forward and asked.

  Kary Decker immediately replied: "The passage is very long, but there are not many ghost-striped red ants here..."

   "Then let's continue exploring inside." Suldak said casually.

The team continued to walk inside, and there were still some scattered human skeletons in the cave, some of which were almost turned into ashes, many of which were weapons left by local aboriginal hunters, bone bows and arrows, spears, and Some braids are wrapped in magic spar...

  The more you go inside, the more you can feel that the cave seems a little damp, and some stone walls even drip water continuously, forming some basin-sized puddles in the cave.

  Beside these stone platforms, you can also find some brown moss, which smells very fishy.

There were not many ghost-striped red ants encountered along the way, and the two-headed ogre had a very strong desire to fight. Almost the ghost-striped soldier ants he saw, as long as they ran a little slower, would be hit by him with a stick. smash.

Moreover, the ghost-patterned soldier ants here are not very strong-willed to resist, and they have never thought about sticking here. They are completely different from the soldier ants at the entrance of the ant nest at the foot of the mountain. The soldier ants over there are completely blocked by their lives. Enter the entrance of the ant nest, and here... As long as Suldak takes a step forward, the ghost pattern soldiers will take two steps back, without any intention of fighting.

   "Could it be that we chose the wrong path? They don't care much about this place!" Carrie Decker whispered his doubts to Suldak.

   "Going further inside, I really want to know what's inside..."

  Suldak waved his hand, and then led the exploration team to continue exploring the depths of the cave.

   This cave is actually not very long. Surdak just walked forward for more than 500 meters, and saw a long and narrow light in front of him.

After Gulitum drove away all the ghost-striped soldier ants in the cave, Suldak stood at the exit on the other side of the cave and looked at the scene in front of him. Only then did he know that the assassin hiding in the ant's belly had entered the mountainside. what did you see...

  Although it is a bit dark inside, it is not completely dark, it is more like evening dusk...

  Surdak stood on the edge of the cliff at the other exit of the cave, looking up at the sky above his head. The sky above his head was a huge circle.

It feels like you are in a huge chimney, or a semi-open-air stadium. The south side is obviously much higher, and the north side is lower. This is why the light cannot come in. This is called dark Insect Valley is really apt.

  Subsequently, Suldak suddenly realized that he might really have entered a huge tree hole, and this big tree might only have a stump left, so he could see the sky above his head...
