Chapter 83 Divergent Paths
After another day and a night, Richard was already more than three thousand kilometers away from the forward base. But as he was walking, he suddenly felt a faint fluctuation of life energy.
It's a green forest elf!
Where there are green forest spirits, there will be trees of life. That's exactly what Richard was aiming for!
Richard's face was expressionless, and he turned in the direction where the energy fluctuations came, and his figure flashed continuously, and each flicker would teleport thousands of kilometers away, as if rushing towards the green forest elf who exposed his whereabouts at an incredible high speed.
A moment later, Richard was standing a hundred meters in the air, looking down at an elf below.
This is an elf girl, her strength is only level sixteen, but judging from her age and the strength limit of the green forest plane, this strength is already good. In a tribe, there are at most two or three people who may have this talent.
At this moment, the girl did not notice Richard at all, she leaned against the tree, gasping violently, carefully untied the leather armor on her body, and examined the wound on her chest. On her smooth skin, there was a fist-sized wound that looked like an arrow wound, but the feather arrow should have been forcibly removed by her.
The girl in her upper body didn't know that there was a pair of eyes watching her, intently treating the wound. She gritted her teeth and cast a spell, and the turquoise light flashed across the wound, and the blood flow immediately slowed. But there is still a long way to go.
After the spell was cast, the girl looked very weak, leaned against the tree, and closed her eyes, as if she did not even have the strength to put on clothes.
She had just rested for a short time when suddenly her ears moved, and she opened her eyes at once, looking in a certain direction alertly.
Richard was immediately intrigued, for in the direction she was looking, a dozen elven hunters and two druids were rapidly approaching. But their location was still several kilometers away, and at such a long distance, this girl could actually perceive it, and this range of perception was already comparable to that of the Heavenly Rank Sacred Domain.
Could it be that she was being hunted down? Richard was more interested in that. Anyway, seeing the Green Forest Elf is equivalent to seeing the Tree of Life. With so many elves, Richard didn't believe that he would not get the information he wanted by his own means.
The girl struggled to put on her armor, and the action made her slightly closed wound burst again, and her face turned even paler with pain. She discerned the direction and fled in the opposite direction of her pursuers.
But a druid in the distance suddenly said, "Ruolin, I already smell you!
The elven girl gritted her teeth and ran wildly, blood seeping out of her leather armor, and drops fell to the ground. She didn't care about any of this, but Richard shook his head secretly. With these bloodstains as a guide, the forest elves will be able to catch up with her sooner or later.
The two sides chased and fled, and there was Richard as a bystander in the sky. In this way, the girl fled dozens of kilometers in a blink of an eye, but a huge black panther suddenly jumped out in front of her, and the girl's face suddenly turned pale.
The black panther was the druid who spoke earlier.
"You can't escape. Without the Tree of Life, we Forest Elves have lost their souls! Come back, return to the tribe, and fulfill your duty and mission. ”
The black panther approached the elf girl step by step, and the girl retreated step by step. Her back suddenly hit a large tree, and her face immediately turned pale. There's no going back.
The girl suddenly erupted and shouted vigorously: "No, I will never go back! You will kill Wind Leaf, but don't think that this will make me submit, I will never go to the Emerald Leaf Tribe, and I will never marry that son of the forest! My heart, my soul, will always be with Wind Leaf!"
The panther let out a low roar of annoyance, and said, "No, your soul, my soul, the souls of all our forest elves belong to the Tree of Life, to the World Tree! Wind Leaf injures the Emerald Leaf Tribe's Children of the Forest, which is equivalent to injuring the World Tree. For his crimes, the death penalty was already a very light punishment. ”
The girl smiled miserably and said, "The World Tree is one of us, including our souls, our lives, all to be dedicated to it, no matter how it treats us?"
"Of course!" said the Panther, rightly.
This is his faith, and the faith of all forest elves.
The girl suddenly said, "What if I say that there is another World Tree in a distant place?"
The black panther was startled, and then shouted: "This is impossible! Lin Hai has only one will, a world tree!"
"No, far, far away, there is another World Tree! I can feel its call to me, and it gives me a feeling of warmth and security. It will see us as its children, and it will change the world, change the forest. It is going to bring sunshine into the world. ”
A trance-like and gentle expression appeared on the girl's face, and she almost whispered, "Sunshine, can you imagine what sunlight is?" It was a light that fell from the sky, bright and warm. Under the sun, we will truly feel happy and can live very simply."
Listening to the girl's dreamy muttering, the panther let out a low roar and shouted, "You are crazy!"
"No! I'm not crazy! I did hear its call, and I saw the future it showed me! Not only me, but also Fengye saw and heard the same thing! In fact, the people of Emerald Leaf were afraid of what he saw and heard, so they killed him!"
"Nonsense! That's not the World Tree, it's the Demon Tree created by distorting the will!" Black Panther also raised his voice, "The elders of the Emerald Leaf Tribe have already sent a message, let us resist the will of the Demon Tree with all our might, otherwise, it will be a fall!"
The druid's voice was very angry, but there was almost imperceptible panic: "Ruolin, the elders of the Emerald Leaf have made a decision, all fallen elves will be taken to the World Tree and burned to death. 'Only fire can cleanse their souls,' are the words of the elders. Now come back with me, and I can assume that I have not heard what you have just said. ”
The girl sneered: "Emerald Leaf, they are afraid! Since the last war, they have not dared to face the invaders, let alone the nascent World Tree! They have the most elven hunters of all tribes, the most powerful druids, and even the World Tree is supporting them all the time." But what did they do? Did they send warriors to attack the invaders, did they think about how to drive them away? Even I knew that every day passed, the invaders would become stronger. But apart from forcing us to move the Tree of Life, the Emerald Leaf Tribe has done nothing! ”
The black panther's voice suddenly became a little dry: "After all, Emerald Leaf has the Great Druid's Verdant Ring, and there are also more than a dozen Sacred Domain Marksmen. It's enough to fend off the invaders, maybe they're just looking for an opportunity. ”
The girl waved her hand weakly and said, "You don't have to say it, I know my choice very well. What the Emerald Leaf Tribe is doing, we all know very well in our hearts. In any case, it is impossible for me to marry the genie who killed my lover, and I will never go to his tribe. For your sake, kill me, it's better for me. I don't want to live in pain for hundreds of years. ”
The girl paused, stared at the panther, and said, "Finally, what I want to say to you is to go and see the newborn World Tree. If you see it, you'll know that it's not a demon tree, but a real world tree. It is even far more noble and powerful than our World Tree, and closer to the origin of the world. ”
The black panther was really hesitant now, and from its eyes, there was pain, and the original beast light had all disappeared.
Eventually, the panther approached the girl, revealing Sen Han's fangs.
But the elf girl reached out and hugged its head, and whispered, "Thank you." ”
The panther opened its mouth, and after a few hesitations, it finally bit down on the girl's neck.
However, there was suddenly an extra ball of light in its mouth! This ball of light was so hard that the panther couldn't bite it at all, and with a click, two of the panther's sharp teeth snapped off from the roots.
Richard descended from the sky, landed in front of the girl, and said, "It's surprising that you can hear the call of the Golden World Tree. I am the leader of the visitors from the Otherworld, and if you hear or see anything, tell me, and I will give you the reward you deserve. ”
"Liar!"
Hearing this comment, Richard was immediately stunned. He never expected that the elf girl would give him such an evaluation.
In desperation, Richard had no choice but to show off the Holy Flame Greatsword from Michael's hand. This weapon is more convincing than any rhetoric. Because it's not at all a divine product that the Green Forest Elves can accomplish, even if you add the World Tree.
This giant sword could not be clearer than the identity of Richard's intruder, and the quality of the giant sword is also superior to all the artifacts of the Green Forest Elves.
The girl believed it and looked at Richard in disbelief.
Richard stretched out his right hand to Ruolin: "Come, come with me." I will take you under the World Tree that calls you. ”
Ruolin's mind was confused for a while, and somehow she put her hand on Richard's hand and let him pull herself up.
At this moment, a blue moon suddenly appeared above Richard's head, and then Richard put his hand on Ruolin's chest, and the breath of life suddenly rolled out of the void and poured into the girl's body.
The girl's wounds healed at an incredible speed, and the elven girl looked at her feet. I don't know when it started, the grass at her feet was full of white mountain flowers!
In the blink of an eye, the girl's injuries were mostly healed. Richard pointed into the distance and said, "You keep running in that direction, and in about ten days, you will enter the range of the Golden World Tree." That's when you'll know where you're going. ”
The elven girl hesitated and asked, "Is there an elf living under the Golden World Tree?"
