Chapter 3223 Goodbye [Corpse Tree]
Xia De on the other side didn't know the surprise when he came back next time. He followed the hound who was nimble and walked through the tombstones, wondering in his mind whether the other party would take him to the grave of its owner, and then asked Xia De to help eliminate his resentment - this is a very common direction for the development of the story.
Unfortunately, he guessed wrong this time. As the hunting dog advances, Xia De vaguely sees a huge shadow in the thick fog in front of him. After continuing to get closer, he finds that the hunting dog is directly in front of the direction of his advance, which is clearly the big tree he saw when he goes out with Teresa.
"It's this tree again? This hound is the bait released by that tree?"
Xia De looked at the tree and thought to himself, and confirmed with "her" that he could really leave at any time, so he continued to carry the shovel and follow him.
As it got closer to the big tree, the density of the surrounding tombstones was significantly reduced. Xia De gradually discovered that the tree seemed to have a bright blue light. He continued to chase forward for half a minute. In the chaotic element environment around him, the whispering elements suddenly became richer.
"Relics?"
The tree is not tall, at least compared to the trees that Shade saw in the Vestalin land, and roughly estimated to be less than three meters high.
After all the tombstones around them disappeared, countless trees under the black ground around the big tree were raised on the ground. At this time, Xia De also saw that the giant tree itself not only had a crown of blue light, but also a series of vines hanging with mummies hanging down from the crown.
Xia De looked up at this scene and subconsciously slowed down. The familiar relics in front of him gave him a wonderful sense of overlapping time and space. He really didn't expect that after experiencing so many things, this relics actually appeared in front of him again-
"The secret guardian-level relics-Corpse Tree!"
This is one of the relics sealed in the ruins when he and Iluna and Luvia broke into the ruins left by the Tobesk underground [Innocence Creator] Clan. But at the same time, this is also the seal used by the last ring warlocks of the Clan to guard the ruins.
Although it is only at the level of secret guardians, this tree has the characteristics of spatial movement, large-scale collective illusion, manipulation of undead spirits, manipulation of life puppets, etc.
As long as it is not allowed to "eat" for a long time, its power will decline on its own. The three of them encountered the "corpse tree" that had not eaten for thousands of years. As for the tree today, it doesn't look like it's hungry no matter how hard it looks.
"I feel like I've been back to the starting point after going around. How did we deal with this relic? I remember that I only had one link at that time."
[Gina Angela Thurwell's body and soul were sealed in a tree and merged with it. She burned the relics at the expense of herself and then sublimated to an angel.]
Now Xia De remembered that his [Creation, Balance] was found in that tree. So in the summer of 1853 of the Sixth Era, the [Corpse Tree] became history completely. But at the end of the fifth Era, the tree is obviously still in its strongest state.
Even because of the current "Tombstone Wasteland" environment, its power may be far beyond the level of "secret guardian".
The hound running in front soon entered the canopy of the corpse tree, but the mummies tied to their necks by vines and the relics themselves did not care about it.
Although Xia De continued to move forward, he had gone from running to walking. After he also reached the influence of the power of the relics, he had already made plans to fight and run away if he couldn't beat him, but unexpectedly, the [Corpse Tree] still did not respond.
The blue light slightly dispelled the thick fog around it, but the stench of corpses and the breath of death around it became even more intense. When he really came to the tree, Xia De understood what was going on here. A mummy dog ​​head larger than the spirit hunting dog was embedded in the trunk of the relics, and next to the trunk was a stone tablet.
Although this stone tablet is just to remind others of the current status of the relics, it can actually be regarded as a tombstone.
[In 4007, the body and soul of the pregnant dog were sealed with the body and soul of the dog. The relics were discovered in the eastern part of the southern continent and had already destroyed three small city-states. With the power of my eleventh level, I could not repel them, so I had no choice but to sacrifice my dog ​​Renai. If the power of the dog is weakened to a controllable level after a thousand years of sealing, please help save Renai's soul and hide the gift in the tree hole.]
Below is the signature of the eleventh-level witch. Calculate the time, the tree has indeed been sealed for thousands of years. But the problem is that it is not weak due to hunger, and no matter how it calculates now, it is definitely not a controllable state.
The black hunting dog's spirit jumped under the tree and rubbed the shriveled dog's head on the trunk. So the mummy opened his eyes, first seeing his daughter, and then seeing Xia De holding a shovel.
It opened its mouth and spoke human language. Although it was not the language used by Teresa and the others, Shade also learned it in the course.
"Living person? Leave, you are not welcome here."
Xia De guessed that this was because he didn't have any funeral objects on him, so the other party's attitude was so bad.
"Woom!"
The spirit hunting dog immediately jumped and started to scream, but the mummies on the trunk didn't even look at it. The trees emitting a rotten smell trembled in the fog, and the vines hanging from the canopy were also extending downwards, as if they wanted to release the mummies to the ground.
"stop!"
Xia De said, after throwing the shovel, he turned his body and was surrounded by soft silver moonlight. When the moonlight disappeared, the silver-white wolf stood next to the shovel. In order to make himself look more majestic, he even used [Body of Courage] to make the wolf body bigger:
"Can you talk like this? Wolves and dogs are actually distant relatives. No, they are close relatives."
If it weren't for the mummy's mouth that could not make small movements, Xia De believed that he would see a humanized shaking expression on the face of a dog. But this at least proves that it has rationality. As for the reason behind it, the witch left behind a thousand years ago, or its soul is more special, this is what Xia De doesn't know:
"Do you think I've never seen a transfiguration?"
Xia De, who maintains the silver wolf form, doesn't care:
"I just want you to relax your guard, and my transformation technique is very powerful, which also means that I am not a fool who came here stupidly and lost his life in vain. Is this your daughter?"
Xia Delang pointed to the black hunting dog smaller than himself with his claws:
"It gave me a reward, so I followed me. I could understand the words on the stele. It hoped that I could liberate your soul, right?"
Xia De does not need to explore in depth about how the soul of a baby wolf grows up. The soul is a very magical thing.
The shriveled dog head on the tree trunk hesitated for a moment, and it was thinking:
"I don't know how you appeared here, but I know more about where this place is. If you really have a way, take my daughter out of this place and send it to where it should go, and I will give you a reward. There is no way to death here, take it back to the world of living people."
This is the same as the "life and death" that could not lead to death, but bringing the souls inside to reality can allow them to go on.
"Do you know this?"
A smile appeared on the slightly glowing silver wolf's head:
"I want to know what's going on here, the more detailed the better."
"Do you want to know the kingdom of God? No, silver wolf, even if I am now like this, I will not share this knowledge. It is not stingy, but for the safety of everyone."
"So what if I could save you too while suppressing this tree? This should be considered fulfilling your master's wish."
Xia De asked again, but the mummy dog ​​head asked back:
"What method do you want to use?"
The newest ⊥小⊥小⊥ said⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"I need to go back and discuss with my companions. I have come into contact with the [Corpse Tree] at some point, and I am very familiar with this relic."
The mummy dog ​​head yelled twice at his daughter, and then communicated with the spirit hunting dog before agreeing to Xia De's transaction:
"If you can fulfill your master's wish, I can tell you the news about it. In addition, the things left by the master and the funeral objects I have obtained over the years can also be given to you. Don't try to deceive me, I know where you are."
"So you know what this is?"
A bookshelves with translucent star seas appeared beside the Silver Wolf, and then a book floated out of it and came under the trunk of the tree. The book was opened, and it was found on it by Miss Lead's employer.
The mummy dog ​​head recognized this just after taking a look:
"You want me to pay the deposit? But you haven't done anything yet. Or you can get the funeral items to trade with me. Since you are carrying the tombkeeper's shovel, you must be clear about the rules here."
"Gravekeeper? It seems you do know a lot."
The wolf slapped the shovel with its paw, and turned into a human form in the silver moonlight:
"I have some time left to wait, I'll be back soon."
He didn't forget to observe the tombstone as he walked along the way, so he turned around with a shovel and hurried to the position he had just recorded. The mummy dog ​​looked at his left back, but the small black hunting dog chased in the direction of Xia De again.
One man and one dog came back soon, and the shovel had disappeared. Xia De had two bracelets and a necklace in his hand. The owner of the tomb he had just dug out was a stingy gambling man. Unexpectedly, the cause of his death was that he could not repay the gambling debt, so he was beaten to death directly.
Xia De was very curious that such a bad gambling man had money to hold a tomb ceremony. The soul who died of gambling actually thought of betting on dice with Xia De, and then Xia De swept away all its burial objects.
"What is the stone tablet I showed you?"
A bracelet was thrown by Xia De towards the big tree. The mummy dog ​​opened its head and bit it, and then swallowed it directly into its stomach:
"The sacrificial text of the master of this land of the dead will only appear in the master's temple here. It is worth mentioning that the master here is usually in the temple of the material world, and is usually no different from the ancient tomb."
So Miss Lead was tricked into stealing the temple of the Evil God Cult without knowing anything, and then was thrown into it. The cultists looked pretty good.
But in this way, it is hard to say whether Miss Leyard can leave the place smoothly.
"In addition to ordinary evil spirits, skeletons and ghouls, what other enemies are easily encountered by living people like us, and will take action when we see it?"
The second bracelet was thrown out by Xia De again, and the dog's head on the tree swallowed it again:
“Gargoyles, that is a flesh-and-blood alchemy device. In the areas where they often appear, there will never be kerosene lamps on the ground;
Dead frogs, I don't know their origin, seem to be an older alien species, whose tongues have the ability to kill the death curse with one blow, and their gathering places are near all the waters of the wasteland;
The nun of the skeleton, the terrifying existence that the master's loyal slave turned into after his death. When he saw a string of fire coming from the fog in the distance, he should immediately avoid it. They are truly immortal here;
The monk Baizhu looks like a mummy with a white candle on his head. This kind of thing is relatively not strong, but they will continue to mark your position and make it easier for you to be discovered."
It talked about four kinds of monsters at once, and only the "gargoyle" of these things was mentioned by the nun and Teresa. There must be other more dangerous things in the wasteland, but Xia De had fewer burial objects in his hands.
He wrote the contents on paper, then squatted down and patted the head of the hound who seemed to like him:
"Can I use the last necklace for your daughter to help me deliver this letter to the place where I found me?"
He had no time to walk back. The small black hunting dog barked twice, bit the letter and left, not even asking for a necklace.
Xia De watched it disappear into the fog and threw the necklace to the mummy on the tree trunk:
"Then let it be for you. When you find me appearing in the wasteland again, I probably have found a way. So see you."
"Since my daughter is willing to help you, this necklace will still be yours. This is your deposit. I will bring you a method next time, and you will take it away."
Xia De nodded, turned around and turned into a silver wolf again. He waved his claws as a farewell, and then chased the black hunting dog and disappeared in the direction he left.
