Chapter 536: The upper and lower lakes at both ends of the waterfall

Days of fighting, days of hurrying, everyone is in extreme mental and physical exhaustion one by one, Lu Xi and Nicole can talk and laugh in the back to kill the tail line of Thunderbird, but this does not mean that everyone can do this. The team of more than 200 people, most of them are not ordinary people, and many of them are wounded, even if the injuries are not so serious, they must be malnourished, hungry and cold, you know, these captives fell into the hands of the orcs, and the future fate is either to become a resource for the expansion of the undead legion, or it is possible to be squeezed out of the surplus value to become the orc's military rations. In this day and age, you can't expect to fall into the wrong hands and enjoy the Geneva Conventions.

Many people have reached their limits, and their legs have even begun to tremble because of the uncontrollable soreness, and they have hoped that Lu Xi can give an order to "everyone rest on the spot, eat and drink", but they have never been able to do so. However, before the real limit arrived, the sudden appearance of the majestic Thunderbird with teeth and claws made everyone a little happier at the speed of travel, and the majestic Thunderbird with teeth and claws was shot in the stomach and headshot by two shots before he could quickly brush up on the zΓ i feeling, and such a super development even made everyone recover a lot of low periods.

Rounding the last hill, the terrain in front of the group of more than two hundred people gradually flattened a little, and the steep peaks slowly spread out on either side of them. A few more paces, a meandering river flowed to their right, and a large waterfall with a width of about a hundred meters and a drop of more than two hundred meters fell vertically on the mountain wall on their right, making a clattering sound, like a gorgeous curtain splashing with silver. The water of the waterfall creates a rippling lake in the upper reaches of the river. Naturally, the depth of the lake is not clear.

Lu Xi and Nicole quickly caught up with the group, and the captives naturally knew who was the one who was talking here. hurriedly and respectfully made way of a passage. The two of them came to the front of the line, and Lu Xi looked at the water flow of the waterfall. I looked over the waterfall again, but I could only see an outcropping hill.

The flat passage creates a dead end on the side of the lake, but it also makes a sharp turn. A gentle slope, unknown whether natural or artificial, descends from the upper peak to the top of the waterfall.

Lim took the lead, followed by Lucy and Nicole, followed by Major Grimmar and others, and Viscount Mura, who looked like a perfect knight full of sense of responsibility and honor, stayed at the back of the line. After ten minutes, everyone was all over the hillside, and then. What suddenly opened up in front of everyone was another lake.

Only then did Lu Xi realize that this was a so-called double-decker lake. The rugged mountain creates a huge drop in height, and the upper lake flows out of the rock crevices, creating this huge waterfall here, and eventually forming the lower lakes and rivers. As for where the water flow of the upper lake comes from, Lu Xi is still unclear.

This is a lake surrounded by the surrounding mountains, but the area is definitely not small, Lu Xi carefully visually examined it. It is more than enough to build a water theme park that can accommodate tens of thousands of visitors. If it weren't for the light witnesses, who would have thought that there would be such a huge natural lake hidden in the midst of these mountains? Of course, this also proves Lu Xi's point once again - the geography of this world he meows is really a special bunker.

The ridge is covered with this dense and huge tree. When viewed from afar, it looks like a bush compared to the lofty mountains, but when everyone approaches. But you can see the tall trunks and lush canopies, like sentinels guarding the quiet place.

"This ...... It's supposed to be a sentinel tree. Nicole looked at the trees. After a moment's hesitation, it quickly turned into firmness: "I can be sure, and it's the sentinel tree of the paulownia tree." ”

"Oh? The sentinel tree of the paulownia tree? I thought it was extinct. Lu Xi replied. On the other hand, he subconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Lu Xi, who has lived in Norda for 16 years, certainly knows that the so-called Sentinel Tree is actually the legendary tree spirit. Elves who can control plants will plant a variety of tree spirits to guard their forest homes, becoming the first line of defense to protect their homes.

Treespirit guards from different tree species are of course very different in combat effectiveness and function. For example, the paulownia tree, which is one of the most powerful types of tree spirit guards, can not only attack enemies with branches of gold and iron, but also activate a certain level of wind magic when swinging leaves violently, and of course, can also use this ability to warn elves.

Of course, after the fall of the Ancient Elven Empire, several cultivation methods of the Tree Spirit Guard were lost, including the Paulownia Tree's.

If these are really the sentry trees of the paulownia tree that have been destroyed for almost 10,000 years, then do we uninvited guests have to fight? Or did they politely let us go for the sake of being on the same side?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, it's really extinct. Nicole's face was a little gloomy, and she sighed deeply: "These used to be sentinel trees, and now they ...... It's just an ordinary tree. ”

The psychic dryads that have lost their power have once again "degenerated" into trees, but what kind of things are these guards guarding "in life"?

"It's the first time I've seen anything like this. Really, it's so beautiful. Arcdina, who was unable to contain her exclamation, answered the question in perfect measure.

The sun had sunk behind them, and the end of the sky had turned into a brilliant gold, and this color was painted on the dark surface of the lake, as if it had turned into a golden water, serene and yet luxurious. However, such a tranquil lake turns into a wild dynamic in the crevices of the rocks, and finally forms the shocking waterfall waves. The perfect transformation of this moment between movement and stillness brings a boiling vitality to this picture, and it is even a little suffocating and dreamy.

Natural gentle slopes, or man-made stone steps, continue along the shores of the lake. All the way down to the bottom of the steep rock face. The boulder at the top of the rock wall forms a dragon's head, though not lifelike. But it is also absolutely domineering and exposed, just like that, overlooking the lake that has been gilded by the sun. Like a dragon guarding over its wealth.

Angie and the snow leopard are under the influence of the formation of this "dragon head". The Star Spirit Assassin stood tightly, staring closely at the lake, while Panarhiss lay on the stone wall, as if studying something carefully. But beneath the cliff behind them, there was no place to pass, and not even a single crack in the pale rock was completely visible.

"It's not like a place to pass." Lu Xi walked behind the snow leopard.

"It's changed a lot." Panarcis didn't look back, still lying on the cliff, sketching something on it with his sharp fingertips: "But. I can vouch for the absolute absence of error. The ladder, the waterfall, the two-story lake, and the cliff...... This is the faΓ§ade of the Sammanchar ruins, you see, it's a paulownia tree. ”

The snow leopard used its claws to drive off the dust on the wall, and there were indeed some mottled marks on the stone wall, which should have been carved here by ancient people. However, Lu Xi couldn't tell that this was a paulownia tree. It is estimated that some people believe that it is alien.

"Under the Longshou Cliff, the lake of Shengjin, the rock wall of the paulownia tree...... My lord, this is the entrance to the Samanchar military ruins. We've come to the right place. It's been 10,000 years, and although it has become almost impossible for me to see it, the ladder that was originally built has become a gentle slope due to weathering and corrosion. But this relic still exists. Panarsis said loudly.

Lu Xi nodded noncommittally, looking at this rock wall that was completely a "dead end". He groaned for a moment.

If this place can really work, Sehireu should also bring everyone in, right? That's what he thought. Then the eye of the god of war was opened.

I hope you stay inside the door and don't run too far...... At the very least, let me confirm that you're really safe.

Although the mission to "save Private Moore" never prompted the moment of failure, it was impossible for him to be completely relieved when he met Seyleuk in person. His hologram then swept across the thick rock wall, revealing the road and the structure of the underground houses except for the rock wall, and at least it was certain that Parnalcis was not taking the wrong path. He carefully scanned the ruins on the map, and finally saw some flickering blue dots at the edge of the range that could be detected by the True Eye of the Level 3 God of War.

Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, at least this also shows that there are indeed friendly troops in this ruins, so there is no other explanation except for the men and horses brought by Sai Xiliu in the early stage.

"Bringing you over this useless-looking fat meow is really the wisest decision I've ever made in my life." Lu Xi said in as calm a tone as possible, but it is estimated that anyone who is familiar with him can hear the joy and excitement that is difficult to hide in his words.

"It's a great pleasure to serve you! I am kind and beautiful...... Well, my gracious and handsome master, if you are willing to take me to Neosfia to eat my favorite baked octopus and flower cake after this battle, you will be a great saint! Panarsis hurriedly said politely with a smile. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no matter how big your brain was, you wouldn't have imagined that this fat meow's belly would contain the soul of a dragon, right?

"So, open the door." Lu Xi said.

"Uh...... Sorry, my master. The gates of this relic can only be opened by moonlight or starlight. The snow leopard bothered and replied in an embarrassed tone.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, that means waiting until the sun goes down, right? Lu Xi shook his head angrily, and looked up at the only wisp of sunset left in the sky: "Fortunately, the pursuers are far away from us, only an hour or two, and we can still afford to wait." Everyone, take a break. ”

Finally arrived at the destination, and finally waited for the order to rest, and everyone who was exhausted sat down on the lake one by one. Of course, the amount of dry food and drinking water is limited, but with the lake next to it, drinking water is not a problem, and everyone is trying to collect wild fruits and potatoes that can be used along the way. Of course, with Lu Xi and others on the side, it was impossible for the captives who had just escaped to fight on the spot in order to fill their stomachs. Everyone eats limited food in an orderly manner, and although it can't make everyone happy, it can at least give everyone a little nutritional supplement.

"Master, while we have time, should we collect some food?" Major Grimmar asked.

"Grain? Oh, and do you mean the lake? "The lake is very large, and at first glance you can see that it is living water, and there must be a lot of fish and shrimp growing in it, which can be regarded as a natural supply storehouse. Perhaps, they have survived on the output of this lake.

"Stay safe. Also, you only have a little time before you go down. ”

"That's enough." Major Grimmar laughed.

Lu Xi nodded and glanced at the lake casually, but couldn't help but be stunned. His True Eye of War hadn't closed yet, and the corner of the holographic map had begun to flash with a yellow point of light, which, judging from its location, should have been in this "big" lake.
