Chapter 175: Roots

It was getting darker and darker, and even the eyesight of Medirri and others began to suffer.

However, Illidan's progress is getting faster and faster, and the monsters such as spiders and scorpions that emerge from the darkness are often mercilessly bombarded by them as soon as they appear.

Su Chen, with the assistance of Zhi Brain, had no effect, and could clearly 'see' the surrounding situation.

Illidan's tall figure stopped abruptly, so much so that the people behind him almost crashed into him.

"What kind of place is this? Seems to have reached the end of the cave? Su Chen looked around in surprise.

Illidan didn't say much, and the two blades of Aeginos in his hand suddenly burst out with green light and swung forward with force.

In the astonished gaze of everyone, a black object fell to the place with a dull sound.

"What kind of monster is this?" Su Chen looked at the object on the ground suspiciously, it looked like a piece of swarthy wood.

Speechless, however, Illidan laughed and picked up the piece of wood, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, which looked similar to chewing sugar cane.

"What is this?" Medirri and the others also showed surprise.

"Eat it, it's delicious." Illidan didn't explain too much, just waved the twin blades in his hand in succession, digging more wood out of the dirt in front of him.

Seeing that Medierli and the others were scrambling to pick up a small piece of wood and stuff it into their mouths out of their admiration for Illidan, Su Chen was also curious to pick up a piece of wood that had been cut off and put it in his mouth.

"Is it really wood?" As soon as the black thing entered his mouth, the breath of sawdust immediately filled his entire mouth, Su Chen frowned, and was about to spit it out, but a cool feeling suddenly came from the tip of his tongue.

"It's ...... Energy? In the dark, Su Chen's eyes couldn't help but widen suddenly. It felt similar to when he drank the water from the Sun Well, except that it was not so hot and violent, but rather cool, and without the astringency of wood, it was definitely a very delicious food.

Medirri and the others apparently quickly discovered the anomalies in the wood, and chewed vigorously. He even began to take the initiative to use the weapons in his hands to dig the wood embedded in the soil.

Several badly injured elf girls also recovered quickly under the nourishment of this strange wooden block, and soon they were able to stand on their own.

"What is this, it has such a miraculous effect, I feel like I am more powerful than before." Medirli said in surprise.

"Well, I also feel a lot of energy in my body." Athena, who was already seriously injured, was even able to jump.

"Just eat quickly, why don't you ask so much." Illidan said as he cut out a piece of black wood with his twin blades.

"Lord Illidan, I'll help you......" Little Helen next to him raised the wooden spear in his hand and was about to help, but suddenly the whole person froze.

Su Chen couldn't help but be a little worried: "Helen, what's wrong with you?" ”

"This ...... This is the root of the World Tree? The little dryad's voice was low, even trembling a little.

Medirli and the others were also shocked when they heard this. Hurriedly stopped the movement in her hand, and Athena even hurriedly spit out a piece of tree root that had been chewing for a while.

In the society of the Night Elves, the World Tree, which is currently the source of the Night Elves' power, is definitely the most sacred thing, and its status is estimated to be only under the ethereal and unrevealed Moon God Elune.

Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that what Illidan led everyone to gnaw on was the root of the World Tree, no wonder it tasted bad, but the power contained in it was surging, almost comparable to the well water of the Sun Well.

"Yes...... The energy of the World Tree and the Sun Well actually originate from the Well of Eternity. There is no difference in essence. Without hesitation, Su Chen swallowed a small piece of bitter root, which had previously expended a lot of energy in order to destroy the stone wall and cut off the chains that imprisoned Illidan. Now it's time to add some.

Although the taste of the roots of this World Tree is a little worse, the violent energy from the Well of Eternity has calmed down a lot after being purified by the World Tree, and the release of that energy is much slower after eating.

"This thing seems to be more suitable for me than the well water of the Sun Well...... Su Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart, every time he drank the well water of the Sun Well in the past, it was a painful torture, and the roots of the World Tree that could slowly release energy were the energy source that was really suitable for his own use.

"The roots of the World Tree contain a great deal of energy, which is just right to quickly restore your body. It's all polite, hurry up and eat. Illidan didn't care about the roots in his hand, and quickly cut off a large section of the roots with his two blades.

"Yes...... But this World Tree is the foundation of the Night Elves! How can you waste it at will......" Athena muttered a little distracted.

"Aren't we going to eat it without wasting a penny now?" Illidan had eaten the freshly cut root as quickly as he could, and then set his sights on another root.

Su Chen also didn't stop the movements in his mouth, but unfortunately his physical endurance was far inferior to Illidan. Just eating a small section of the root of the tree can already feel the blood boiling all over the body, which is a sign that the body's ability to withstand it has reached its limit.

"It seems that we can only dig up some and collect them......" Su Chen thought secretly, but it was not good to dig up the roots of the World Tree in front of a group of Night Elves and coexist after all, so he could only quietly pick up some remaining roots on the ground.

"But...... According to the rules of the Cenarion Council, we must not damage anything in the World Tree, not even a single leaf. A badly injured dryad had regained some strength, and it was obviously the power of the World Tree that had played a role, and he couldn't help but hesitate when he looked at the root of the World Tree in his hand.

"What is the Cenarion Council?" Illidan asked nonchalantly, chewing on the roots.

"......" Su Chen couldn't help but be a little speechless about this, for this kind of guy who has been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, a lot of common sense that appeared later is no longer known at all.

"It was the governing body established by the Great Druid, although it has no direct power, but most of the Night Elves today believe in the way of the Druids, so it has a lot of influence, only second only to the Moon Temple." Medirri hurriedly explained to him.

Illidan immediately waved his hand casually: "Then don't worry about it, the World Tree is not theirs, the energy of this World Tree is all drawn from the New Well of Eternity, speaking of which, they have to thank me, if I didn't rebuild the Well of Eternity, there would be no World Tree at all."
