Chapter 555 A new journey (thirty-six)

Indeed, the tree of life in front of us almost only has a bare trunk and a few limited branches.

Moreover, tree trunks that are tens of meters high are basically visible at a glance, and you can even see the entire tree clearly just by looking from below.

Edward didn't know where to start.

“But with this tree, I really don’t know what’s wrong with it.

It's just such a small place, is there any mechanism inside?" Edward said as he laughed at himself and lightly knocked on the tree trunk. He was very careful when he started, for fear that he would directly break the dying tree with his force.

But just after Edward's fist touched the bark of the tree, a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously took his hand back, and then the chill immediately dissipated.

"Is this an illusion?" Edward asked himself silently in his heart, hesitating whether to express this feeling.

"Ellie, something doesn't seem right about this tree.

Touch it with your hand and see." After being stunned for a few seconds, Edward decided to tell the situation.

Ellie just noticed that Edward looked wrong and planned to ask him clearly. When she heard what Edward said, she immediately nodded and walked quickly to the tree.

She raised her head and glanced at the tall tree trunk, then carefully stretched out her hand and pressed it on the bark.

In an instant, Ellie felt a chill in her heart, and as the chill rose, she seemed to hear some sounds in her ears, like the sounds of countless people crying.

In panic, Ellie involuntarily took a step back. Her face looked bloodless at this time, and she was obviously frightened.

After seeing Ellie's appearance, Li Nosia frowned and immediately stepped forward and put her hands on the tree trunk, but her time was even shorter than Ellie's. Almost a second later, she

He retracted his hand like lightning.

The frown that was originally frowned now became even stronger.

"Elder Li Nosia also felt it, what's inside?" Seeing Li Nosia's expression, Ellie already understood something like this.

"That's right.

But why..." An urgent expression appeared on Li Nosia's face at this time, "Ellie, just let me beg you.

Is there any way? No matter what the exchange conditions are, I am willing."

"Ask, you two wait a minute." Before Ellie could speak, Edward looked depressed and planned a conversation between the two of them, "Please, if you have any questions, please explain it clearly and don't play charades here.

Please understand how we feel, thank you."

"This is hard to explain in words." Ellie said, holding her hands in front of her chest, and then a white light began to slowly condense on her hands.

After a while, a scene slowly emerged in the center of the light.

After seeing that image, almost everyone showed a surprised expression.

In the light, Edward saw countless elves sitting in bubble-like objects, beating on the outer wall helplessly.

Edward looked carefully for a while and then saw Alma with a melancholy face among them.

The difference is that she just looks worried, not like other elves.

"What, what on earth is this?" At this time, Edward could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart and asked.

In fact, the weirdness of the things he had seen in the past few days had almost exceeded his own limit.

"This...simply put, it is a demiplane made from the Tree of Life." Ellie thought for a moment and after making sure that her words could be understood by others, she spoke slowly.

"Demiplane? Is it possible to rescue them?" After hearing this half-familiar and half-familiar word, Edward immediately became excited.

It’s no wonder, in fact, he could only understand this word after Ellie said it for a long time.

"This is impossible." Ellie looked a little gloomy at this time and shook her head, "This is not a simple demiplane.

Its existence is very strange. It seems that it relies on the tree of life and some kind of power to exist. If it is destroyed from the outside, the people inside will immediately be stunned.

And I clearly feel that the power of the people inside is slowly draining away, as if it has been condensed somewhere."

"!" Ellie's words obviously surprised everyone, and no one planned to ask any more questions at this time.

Everyone focused their attention on Ellie and held their breath as she continued to explain.

Ellie did not continue to speak at this time, but frowned as if thinking about something.

For a moment, she seemed to have figured out something, and immediately said seriously: "I understand, if everything is indeed the case, then everything can be explained."

"If my guess is correct, that demiplane is the place used by the Soul Reaver to completely digest the souls he swallowed.

Just like a python takes a long time to completely consume food after swallowing it, the same is true here.

The Soul Reaver has devoured so many souls that he cannot digest them now.

We can only seal them in the plane we created and deal with them slowly."

"Then what can be done to save them?" After listening to Ellie for a long time and still not saying what everyone wanted to know most, Edward couldn't help but ask again.

"Find and defeat the Soul Reaver.

This is the only way." Ellie replied with a solemn face at this time, "Based on what I feel, we still have a month at most.

Within a month, the soul inside will be completely devoured.

By then it will be too late.”

When Ellie said her last words, everyone fell silent.

The only solution Ellie said was really difficult for them.

There may be people who are not afraid of any powerful existence, but facing an opponent that is simply invisible and intangible, anyone would be helpless.

"Thanks, Ellie.

The elves owe you a big favor." After a long silence, Linosia finally raised her head. Although there was still disappointment in her eyes, she still nodded and smiled at Ellie and said.

"What's wrong, Elucina? It's hard to see you standing aside so seriously without saying a word." At this time, Reid subconsciously glanced at Elucina, who had been holding his arm, and discovered this

The elf, who was usually so lively that he couldn't bear it, was staring at the tree of life with a serious face, as if he wanted to see something from it.

"nothing.

I just feel a little bored." After hearing Red's voice, Elucina let go of her hand as if she was startled and stood aside.

Then she glanced at the canopy of the tree a few more times, then said indifferently, "It seems like I have nothing to do here.

I'm going to find a place to rest.

It's just too lifeless here.

If I had known earlier, it would have been better to stay and sleep on Nod Mountain."

After Elucina finished speaking, she turned around and left without caring about Red's baffled expression.

That night, Elucina slowly made her way to the Tree of Life alone.

It was already past midnight, and Silver Moon City, which was already empty, was now even more silent.

Elucina stood under the tree and looked up silently for a while, then smiled slightly.

Then I saw her feet exert force, and her whole body immediately jumped into the air.

Catching the branches, the whole person jumped to the crown of the tree like an easy swallow.

After reaching the canopy,

After thinking about it for a moment, Elucina immediately showed a winner's smile on her face.

And this was when she also noticed a dark shadow appearing behind her at some point.

It seems that he is always thinking about his every move.

"As expected.

I didn't expect you to be able to find a place to hide.

No wonder it has been able to swallow so many people's souls without being on the road." Elucina glanced at the black figure behind her and said with a sneer.

The shadow didn't answer, just stood there silently.

He stared at Elucina with hostility, as if looking for an opportunity to make a move.

On the other side, after realizing that the black shadow didn't answer, Elucina's face became even more proud.

"Humph, now you know you are strong? Well, I am not such an unreasonable person.

Release Alma's soul, and then dodge as early as possible.

Otherwise, don’t say I’m unkind.”

The black shadow still didn't answer, still standing in the same place.

At this moment, Elucina seemed to feel something uneasy.

She couldn't help but turn around and glance in the direction of the black shadow, and then a surprised expression appeared on her face.

At the same time, the black shadow also began to move.

Without giving Elucina any time to react, the black shadow jumped to less than two steps away from her.
