Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Withered World Tree
In the dense jungle, a black shadow was speeding at the speed of a floating light.
It was small in stature, and easily blended into the shadows of a place.
It was early morning in the Northlands, the morning sun was rising, and there was still some dew on the torsos of the trees of the Supreme Jungle.
The dark shadow touched the dew, but there was no trace of it.
As if it didn't belong to this world at all.
It triumphantly and vigilantly observes everything around it, and this is important information, and it will surely be rewarded when it returns to the army.
The damn druids wouldn't have imagined that their semi-open vault would have the devil sneaking in.
When he thought of this, the pride in his heart became even stronger.
But suddenly, a powerful hand grabbed its vital point!
It tried to use its speed advantage to escape, but as if the other party knew what it was capable of, it sealed its vital point so that it could not escape.
Marven looked at the rat-like creature in front of him with interest.
This thing is rare, and creatures like hell envoys are very rare even in the ninth layer of purgatory.
This creature is rare and does not have a purgatory, and is small, fast, and stealth, making it a natural scout.
In fact, if it weren't for Marven's accidental entry into hell once before, and the Hell Legion contract on his body resonated, he wouldn't have discovered this Hell Envoy.
Hell makes the demons have low combat power, and once someone finds their traces, they have no ability.
Especially now Marven, who is already a legendary-level powerhouse, it is not a big problem to control a hellish demon.
He looked at the envoy with curiosity. Asked in a low voice:
"Little one, I know you understand me."
"Now. Tell me, to whom are you allegiant? ”
……
Deep in the Supreme Jungle.
The Emerald Capital.
Several tall figures stood on a platform made of giant trees. Overlooking the entire Druid home.
The crowd was silent. A leaf slowly falls from the top of their heads.
"Another piece."
"The World Tree is dying."
"If this continues, we can only sit back and wait."
One of them looked at the fallen leaves with a solemn face, and said in a low voice.
If Marven had been here, he would have immediately recognized the people present.
Several of the highest levels of the Migratory Bird Council, some of the most powerful Great Druids of the North, gathered here.
The wrath of the sky, the mother of all, the blue moon.
There was also an old man with a wrinkled face.
The old man looked very old, as if he could leave this world at any time, but there was still life in his eyes.
"So there are some things that we have to figure out."
The old man spoke slowly. In the next second, his palm suddenly burst into light.
In the light, a sea of turquoise suddenly mixed with a little shadow.
When everyone saw that little shadow, a trace of gloom appeared on their faces.
"This has been the case with the World Tree since that Viscount Marven entered the World Tree."
The old man shook his head: "And as far as we know, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds in recent times - even from the beginning of his emergence, his strength has improved rapidly and frighteningly. From an unknown teenager to a strong man who can slaughter gods......"
"Anything that doesn't conform to the laws of nature. There may be something wrong. ”
The other three Great Druids all looked at each other, wanting to say something, but they didn't seem to know what to say.
In the end, it was the Mother of All Things who stood up: "I treated Viscount Marven once. At that time. He was nearly assassinated by Glenus and nearly died under the curse of Dusk. We were in contact for a while, and I personally didn't believe he was the one stealing the power of nature. ”
The Wrath of the Sky likewise chimed in: "I fought alongside him. Lorant also didn't believe he was that kind of person. ”
The old man said slowly, "But we all know that Viscount Marven's realm is [Shadow]. ”
As soon as this statement came out. The Great Druids all frowned.
This is also where they are most confused.
The Great Druid of the North is supposed to be the guardian of the World Tree. They guard the order and tranquility of the Boreal Forest, but only recently. They noticed something was wrong.
The World Tree, which had always been dense, had withered!
This is no small thing.
Throughout Fernand's history, the World Tree has never withered.
The Great Druids searched all the books, but found no record of it, and the World Tree was dying rapidly.
Especially before and after the gods attacked the cosmic magic pool.
However, the druids know very well that the World Tree has nothing to do with the Cosmic Demon Pool, and the reason why they can easily ignite the flame of order and protect the entire Supreme Jungle is because of the power of nature.
It itself has the effect of partially resisting the magic of chaos.
Even if the entire cosmic magic pool is destroyed, the power of the sleeping ancient gods of nature will still protect the land.
The World Tree will also not be affected.
Then the reason must be different.
The Migratory Bird Council attached great importance to this matter, and repeatedly reconnoitred it, and finally alarmed the long-sleeping speaker - Lao Shuren.
After the old tree man woke up, he immediately used prophecy.
The prophecy technique of the natural system does not use the cosmic magic pool, so it has not been affected.
And that's what they saw.
The power of the ancient gods of nature was stolen!
And that man is frantically absorbing this power, which is the root of the withering of the World Tree.
Because of the limitations of prophecy, they could only see a shadow clearly.
According to the old treeman's interpretation, this is most likely a powerhouse with the [Shadow] realm or simply a god with a related priesthood.
But the shadow prince who is most likely to commit the crime has been blown up by Marven.
According to news from the Celestial Realm, the Prince of Shadows has proclaimed himself the Kingdom of God and has fallen into an eternal slumber. Obviously, it is now impossible for Glenus to steal the power of the Old Gods of Nature.
Then the rest of the people seem to be very limited.
It was at this time. Marven came into their field of vision.
At that time, it was also the time when Marven called on everyone in the Migratory Bird Council to deal with the Stygian Phoenix. The old treant learned from Sky Fury that Marven had been in and out of the World Tree. Immediately became interested in Marven.
Marven's information began to flow into the hands of the High Council.
When you look at it, even if you have always been good friends with Marven, you can't help but be a little shaken - for no other reason, Marven's progress in the past few months can not be described as fast - it is simply earth-shaking!
Five months ago, he was a second-order night walker.
Five months later, he was a Plane Destroyer, a Dragon Slayer, and a God Slayer!
He single-handedly forged the White River Valley, the territory that was the first to ignite the flame of order in troubled times.
He single-handedly destroyed Feinan's black dragon with ruthless means. It's discoloring.
This rate of growth seems to be completely in line with the thieves of the force of nature.
The old tree man didn't do it at the first time, it was already because of the opinions of Sky Fury and others.
And after the death of the phoenix, he quickly took measures.
The Endless Ocean affair is actually just an excuse. The Great Druids, though pedantic, did not treat their fellow citizens in this way.
His target is still Marvin himself.
"If it's really him...... What will you do? ”
The Mother of All asked softly.
The old treeman's gaze looked into the distance, where a young man held a demon in his hand. Slowly walking towards them.
"It's not him." The wrinkles on the old treeman's face became denser.
……
Unlike the White River Valley, the druids were supported by the power of the World Tree, so they lit the flame of order and indeed transformed the Supreme Jungle into a refuge.
But this refuge. Not a fully enclosed shelter like the White River Valley, it's a semi-open shelter.
Everything that has to do with the magic of chaos will be banished.
This is also one of the reasons why Marven chose to dive into the Supreme Jungle in a low-key manner. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to enter this land, and there would be no need for him to hide his traces.
After he caught the hellish demon. Naturally, it was an interrogation.
It's a pity that the hell envoys are loved by the devil lords of hell. Also because of its strong ability to keep secrets.
Every hellish demon is a dead brain and a hard temper. They have endured many hardships, and it is difficult for them to spit out the news by torture.
Marven was not in a hurry, although the Hell Demon didn't say anything, Marven had already guessed something.
The Hell Legion contract on his body resonates, suggesting that this guy is most likely from the Hell where Deloth is.
It is even possible that it is his grandfather, Deloth. Creelander's exclusive Enchanter.
"He's already got rid of the original Devil Lord? Or did the Devil Lord get him? ”
Marven is still very interested in his grandfather. In Lavis, he gets a part of the truth. But Marven feels that what the Grand Duke said may not be all right. What happened to Deroth? This is what Marvin is looking forward to.
Marven would be happy to see the relative of the Devil Lord on this trip to the Northland, provided that the location is not a battlefield.
Everyone knows the importance of the World Tree, and both the Hell and the Abyss are trying to climb from the inside of the World Tree to the Heavenly Kingdom and conquer the forces of the gods.
And Fernan's World Tree is one of the easiest entrances to enter.
If the devils are interested in the World Tree, it is also a normal thing.
Thinking of this, Marven suddenly realized that something was wrong.
After he entered the Supreme Jungle, he didn't seem to feel the shock of stepping into the Supreme Jungle for the first time in the game of his previous life.
It stands to reason that the power of nature that is everywhere here is the first time I feel it, so there should be a will test, right?
Marven subconsciously checked the data panel, but found that the will test did exist, but the difficulty was only 35, because Marven's will was too strong, and he was directly exempted.
It's not surprising that Marven in this life is indeed much stronger than the rookie who just entered the forest in the game.
But he clearly remembered that the Force-of-Nature difficulty of the Supreme Jungle was [60]!
This kind of high-level data, he will definitely not be mistaken!
"Could it be that something is wrong with the World Tree?"
Marven immediately infiltrated a druid village to inquire about the news.
Soon, he got a piece of news that corroborated his guesses.
The latest order from the Migratory Bird Council is for all druid villages living on the edge of the forest to continue their migration deeper into the forest.
