The golden tree is a term occasionally spread among the elves during the ancient Warring States Period.
What's strange is that if someone asks the elves again about this term, the elves will avoid it by being vague or making excuses. If they ask too many questions, the elves will even leave quietly.
According to the research of some great magicians during the ancient Warring States Period, the golden tree seems to be a tree species left behind by the Creator God when he created the world.
According to legend, every golden tree grows extremely slowly, only growing one centimeter every hundred years, and only growing a new golden leaf every ten years - equivalent to the endless age of the golden tree. This is already a very long time.
The growth rate is very fast. Moreover, the difference between the golden tree and other tree species is that the golden tree grows by growing gold - the golden tree absorbs gold from the soil through its intertwined roots and finally slowly transforms it into the tree body.
.
Therefore, the golden tree is completely made of gold. Every inch of the trunk, every branch, and every leaf is red gold. The golden tree also bears fruits, which are commonly referred to as golden apples. According to legend, the golden tree blooms every 1,000 years.
A flower takes 1,000 years to bear fruit and another 3,000 years to mature.
Some people also think that the golden fruit can be eaten, and those who eat the golden fruit will dominate the world. Some people also think that dragons can also eat golden fruits, and the dragons who eat the golden fruit can surpass their own level. It is said that in
There is a golden fruit preserved in the treasure of an ancient royal family.
Of course, these are all rumors, and none of the people who provided the rumors left their names.

"Don't shoot him!" The magister has realized that this magic that he has never seen before is the most dangerous rebound attack magic.
Magic can be divided into three major types according to the mode of use. The most common ones are defensive magic and offensive magic. Defensive magic is to increase the magic or physical damage of various attributes to the person being cast. Most of the defensive magic
Magic can be released to other people, and there are also a small number of extremely powerful defensive magic that can only be used by the caster himself; offensive magic refers to magic that attacks the enemy. There must be a designated enemy from the moment it is released. If the magic
The effect is long-lasting and can even attack multiple enemies. Rebound damage magic is extremely rare in ordinary magic. This kind of magic is in a stable state after being released, and often floats near the releaser. Once someone attacks the caster, this kind of magic will
Magic immediately starts to counterattack as soon as it protects. The casting distance of ordinary offensive magic is very short, so archers like elves are often the biggest enemies of magicians, but this is not the case with rebound magic. The distance that the attacker can attack is
The scope of the rebound.
In the fairy forest, according to the usual theory, unless it is a magician with his own domain, it is impossible to cast any magic. And the young man in front of him (in the eyes of the fairy magician, all young people under 80 years old are young and new)
Human beings) cannot be magisters in any case due to their age, so how can they cast such a large-scale magic? Moreover, this kind of magic seems to contain the magic power of gold and stone, and gold, stone and fire are precisely the wood-based elements of the Fairy Forest.
The most taboo magic attribute in the magic field. The quick-thinking mage felt vaguely uneasy.
Unfortunately, the Magister underestimated the reaction speed of his brothers. The moment he shouted, each elf shot at least two arrows at the enemies within range. From the direction of the arrows, it can be seen that the elves still showed mercy.
Yes, the arrow fletching point is relatively low.
A dense rain of arrows suddenly shot into the long swords in the sky. Countless long swords were suddenly disturbed by the falling boulders like slowly swimming fish schools, and instantly rose up to the sky. Then, the long swords suddenly dispersed and rotated in the sky.
At the archers who had just fired arrows, the golden-red sword body emitted a fire-like light. The bodies of the elves exposed outside the leather armor immediately spurted out blood. How could flesh and blood bodies withstand the rampant dance of the sword elves? Some of the elven arms
You can even see the white bone stubble from the trauma on it.
Yi Hailan knew that Amy was a rare expert in both magic and martial arts. After seeing Amy singing loudly, she immediately waved the spear in her hand with all her strength, hoping to block the rain of arrows for Amy. However, she did not expect that the arrows that occasionally missed would be hit by two
The layer of magic protection was easily ejected, and the long sword formed by those magic elves actually showed such surprising attack power.
The Demon Commander had a new understanding of Amy, and at one moment he even stood motionless behind Amy in deep thought.
Amy saw that at least 60% of the elves had wounds on their hands and feet, while the other elves were hurriedly avoiding the dance of flying swords, and pulled Yi Hailan to chase the mercenaries who had run quite far away.
Seeing that the archers were seriously injured, the two elf magisters were quite shocked by the magic warrior's performance. They immediately slowed down and then ordered the huge trees in the forest with sharper voices, but the mercenaries did not
Know what it means.
The elves stopped, and the mercenaries did not feel relaxed. After all, this was the territory of the elves. They suddenly gave up during the crazy pursuit, maybe summoning more partners to pursue them through other means. Moreover, the elf magician issued a
The voice sounded very similar. The steps of the mercenaries became faster.
Sure enough, not long after, multiple teams of elf archers appeared in the forest surrounding the lake, among which were the elf warriors and elf mages who were in the leading positions.
The mercenaries were panting and did not dare to stop and take a closer look at how many elves were coming. They ran southward along the lake. When they looked up again, they found a small hill on the southwest side of the lake. There seemed to be a small hill behind it.
There was a building. I had not seen a building in the fairy forest for such a long time. Such a large building might be an opportunity to escape. The mercenaries turned to the blue and green building and ran.
After crossing the hillside, the mercenaries were once again shocked by the sight before them.
Behind the hillside, surrounded by dense forests, there is an extremely thick golden tree - no human has ever seen a real golden tree before, and there are even some mercenaries who have never heard of this term. However,
As long as you take a look at it, everyone will immediately call out her original name: Golden Tree - the trunk seems to be made of gold, the trunk is extremely thick, it takes at least 5 people to close it, the branches appear strong and powerful, and each branch seems to be
Stretching upward and outward with all its strength. The leaves are also shining with golden light, trembling slowly with the faint breeze by the lake, and emitting dazzling light under the sunlight.
At first glance, the impression is that this extremely strong tree seems to be supporting the sky and the earth.
In front of the golden tree is a building similar to a human cathedral, with a tall slender spire and very tall walls; and on the golden tree, there is a brown-green wooden tower, which is closely connected to the golden tree.
Leaning next to a main trunk of the golden tree, it seems that all the power is pressing on the golden tree.
The elves obviously also knew that humans had discovered golden trees, blue-green buildings, and tall wooden towers. They were running towards here in the distance while shouting loudly. Some of the elves among them had considerable research on human language.
Even from such a distance, you can hear: "Human mercenaries, don't get close to the golden tree, otherwise no one will be able to save you!"
The mercenaries looked at each other while running. They no longer had any confidence in the elves. At this time, the elves said they had to go to the places they said they couldn't go. Maybe they could escape.
The two captains led the team members and ran towards the golden tree.
Suddenly, an elf team came from the opposite side. At the front of the team was an elf who was at least a great magician or above. The mercenaries' hands immediately became sweaty. In such a head-on conflict, except for the likes of Mu Cao and Yi Hailan,
For the strong ones, others may not even be able to rush forward in 10 steps before they all fall under the rain of arrows.
The other side also saw the mercenaries rushing towards them. All the archers pulled out arrow feathers from their quivers as fast as lightning and fastened them on their short bows.
At a distance of 100 meters, facing the bows and arrows of forest elves or prairie elves, 99.99% of the time, there is only one result: death. Even the fantasy beast knights and magisters cannot escape this reality. Perhaps, only the dragon knights can escape by chance.
Almost every mercenary knows this for sure, and they also know that the small group of elven archers in front of them is enough to bury more than 10 mercenaries 10 times.
"Charge forward! The honor is in my heart, and my faith coexists with me!" After only a moment's pause, Yelucai raised his shield and charged towards the elves.
"Honor is in my heart, faith coexists with me!" Hearing the familiar voice, the eyes of the warriors who were knights behind immediately filled with tears, and they yelled like crazy. White, Hueyang's shield had already been hit when he escaped just now
Abandon it. As a knight or trainee knight, in such a dangerous environment, you cannot excuse yourself by saying that you don't have a protective shield in your hand. Even if you rush forward, the inevitable result is to fall under the powerful short bow. Two warriors wield long swords.
One on the left and one on the right, they rushed forward behind Ye Licai.
Yi Hailan, who was making the final break, heard such shouts, and his eyes became slightly wet. Although no one performed a knight canonization ceremony for Yi Hailan, as a member of the Dragon Knight, when the knights charge, especially when they are in an extremely weak state,
The words spoken during the charge were very familiar. Most of the knights shouted their lifelong beliefs and sacrificed their precious lives for their partners and their group. Even those as steady as Yi Hailan could not help but feel the blood boiling all over their bodies.
"Brother Amy, you stay behind and I move forward." Yi Hailan made two big jumps in a row and landed behind Yelucai.
"Yela... from!" An archer among the elves on the front suddenly issued an order.
"Bang - chi -" The mercenaries immediately heard the intensive vibration of bowstrings and the sound of arrows cutting through the air.
At a distance of about 100 meters, the shooting speed of the elf bow and the speed of sound arrive simultaneously. Even the eyes of an eagle cannot identify the long arrow shot at this speed.
"Ah!" Yelucai, who was rushing at the front, saw a cold light in front of his eyes and subconsciously raised the shield in his hand. Suddenly - Yelucai felt a huge heat coming from his right leg, and a long arrow grazed his pants.
"Be careful!" Yi Hailan's silver gun made endless shadows and shot away a rapidly shooting arrow in the air.
The first wave of arrows from the famous elf archer did not pose any threat to the mercenaries. On the contrary, other elves who were chasing after the mercenaries were almost shot.
"Friends, mercenaries! Don't do anything, we are here to help you." The big magician on the opposite side shouted hurriedly. The mercenaries who fled in a hurry did not pay careful attention to the elf's words. It was not until the big magician shouted for the second time that they understood why.
There were no casualties. The dwarf's eyesight was much better than that of humans. The monkey looked carefully and loudly said to the other mercenaries: "It's the elf leader who rescued us. Don't get me wrong."
The great magician named Qing Ming waved to the mercenaries to hurry up, but the elf archers behind Qing Ming did not stop, and kept shooting green arrows at the pursuers in the distance.
The elves may not care about the long arrows shot by human archers, but they do not dare to be careless about their fellow tribesmen who suddenly become enemies. Several elves who have entered the shooting range rolled and crawled away from the shooting range, and two slow-running elven bows and arrows
He was hit by an arrow and fell on the hillside.
In the elf society, every elf is extremely tolerant and kind. As the longest-lived race in the world, the elves have looked down upon everything since they were young. They have nothing to ask for, and they are indifferent to power, fame, wealth, etc.
There has never been a quarrel between them, let alone a direct fight with a knife or a gun or even a life-and-death fight.
The arrow feathers falling in front of you are clearly produced in the same forest, and even the feathers on the arrow tails are made of the same kind of bird tail feathers. Farther away is the short bow of the same species held levelly. From the cold light of the arrow tip and the emerald green
The angle of the arrow feathers can tell the result of loosening the string... All the pursuers stopped, and the elves looked at the elder helplessly one by one.
The elf elder looked at the fallen compatriots and shouted angrily - none of the mercenaries could understand the native language of the forest elves.
Qing Ming's face was solemn and he replied loudly in standard Chinese language: "I don't care what you think, elves must be tolerant. We don't want to hurt humans. We want to help them, even if more than two hundred people in our village, young and old, are forced to leave the fairy forest.
"
Many of the mercenaries had sore noses. Most of them had never imagined that there would be such warm-hearted elven friends in the fairy forest, let alone that the elves were really as kind as the legends and could treat mercenaries who had evil intentions.
Bing gave him all his help, even leaving his hometown. Ye Licai looked at the old elf's wrinkled face and couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder like a brother.
The great magician Qingming turned to the mercenaries and said: "Everyone, hurry up and go to the golden tree. Go up to the wooden tower. There is a large magic teleportation array inside, which can teleport everyone directly to the elf cave outside."
After a pause, the elf magician said again: "We are holding on here. If you hurry up, we may not be able to hold on for long. Remember, the magic circle can only be used once, so everyone must go in."
Amy shook her head slowly, her eyes hesitant: "I'll stay, I'll help."
Yi Hailan and several other mercenaries who were knights were just about to speak, but they were firmly rejected by the elf magician: "You guys leave quickly, even the elf king can't kill the elves! We have nothing to do, at most we will be expelled. Leave quickly!"
The anxious faces of the elves left the mercenaries speechless. Staying for one more minute at this time would bring even greater trouble to their well-meaning friends. The mercenaries strode towards the golden tree.
The elves in the distance seemed to be even more anxious. The elves in several directions jumped up, hoping to break through the arrow nets of their compatriots. Unfortunately, each time they left a few companions lying on the ground.
The nineteen mercenaries ran extremely fast. In the front was the monkey holding the magician, behind was the shadow man holding the priest, and then many warriors, including Amy and Yi Hailan, Ye Lucai, White, and Hui.
Yang is at the end and ends at the end.
We are extremely close to the golden tree. While running, we can even feel the heavy magic elves in the air. Each golden leaf reflects the midday sun, and everything under the golden tree is bright.
Seeing the mercenaries getting closer and closer to the golden tree, hundreds of elves in the distance simultaneously let out loud and sharp screams.
Amy was slightly startled. The syllables uttered by the elves were so familiar...
