  Chapter 237 Two tree kings send warmth

  On the Cuihai Valley battlefield, the hook lock was released from the airship, and a black jade scorpion corpse with 5 rings and 6 rings was caught into the airship.

   Several corpses of the 7-ring black jade scorpion king were shared by several great arcanists.

  Duke also got one.

   "Your Excellency Duke, my elder said that after you go back, you will send someone to bring back the body of the Black Jade Scorpion King." Keyston's clansman, a 2-ring arcanist, came forward and said.

  Duke nodded: "Thank Lord Keyston for me."

  The airship brigade took half a day to completely wipe out the Black Jade Scorpion clan in Cuihai Valley, and the mercenary group who received the news also came to clean up other spirit insects.

at dusk.

  The arcane mages headed by Keyston Rage gathered around the small lake of the spiritual spring and began to discuss how to mine the spiritual spring.

   "This spiritual spring was destroyed by the earthquake. If you want to restore it to a large spiritual spring, you must dredge the channel of the spiritual spring. After it is cleared, the urban construction layout of Cuihai City can be carried out according to the scale of the spiritual spring."

   Erwin said.

   "There is no rush on this matter, the effect of the spirit powder will wear off soon, please let the ancient spirit out of the spring first." Keyston waved his hand and made a decision.

   "How should we deal with the two tree kings?" Aluqi, the chief director of Faling Pagoda, asked.

   "If you can keep it, keep it, if you can't keep it, cut it down and make it into spiritual materials. In the future, Cuihai City will plan to build five towers, which will require a lot of materials."

   "Cut off?"

  Duke raised his eyebrows.

  3 Ring Tree King is of great value, and cutting it off is undoubtedly the most wasteful way to use it.

  However, the tree king with three rings is too huge, especially when it grows next to the spiritual spring, it is really easy to hinder the mining of the spiritual spring.

  In addition, the tree king with three rings can make people understand the magical mystery.

   It’s just that most people don’t have the chance to comprehend it—looking at the entire Heijiaohe region, including Duke, there are definitely no more than five people who have comprehended the mystery of the 3-ring tree king-the vine of mystery.

   And after realizing it, it seems that it is not very useful.

  At least for Duke so far, the only time the Guardian Mystic Vine has played a role is when the Ocean of Insects broke out, protecting the stability of the Linghai for him. But in fact, even without the guardian-mysterious vine, the Ocean of Insects might not really be able to hurt him.

  Those phantoms of the ancient times, at most, caused a certain impact on his body, making him seriously ill, and he can recover after a while of cultivation.

so.

  In most cases, the Arcane Masters deal with the 3-ring tree king by keeping it as long as it can be kept, and cutting it off if it can't be kept, and making it into a spiritual material.

  Duke left the lake and walked towards the first tree king.

  Beside the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley, there are two tree kings, one on the east bank and the other on the west bank.

  The king tree on the east bank is towering. It is a pine tree that has grown for tens of thousands of years, and it is named the Wannian Pine Tower; the king tree on the west bank is only 50 meters high, less than a quarter of the height of the Ten Thousand Year Pine Tower.

  At this moment, Duke is standing at the root of the 3rd Ring Tree King - Wannian Pine Tower. Looking up, he can almost see the top through the sparse branches.

  The branch closest to the ground is also nearly 20 meters high.

   And its roots, a large part of which have been exposed on the surface, are intertwined and have huge plate-shaped root protrusions.

  Duke grabbed the tree trunk, his fighting spirit condensed in his hands, like a suction cup, firmly sucked the tree trunk. Then, like an ape, he easily climbed to the first branch. This branch is at least five meters thick, but the front end has been broken off, leaving only half of it.

   Standing on it is like standing on flat ground.

   While other arcanists were discussing how to develop this spiritual spring by the lake, Duke simply sat cross-legged on the branch.

   "Chicken, come out to work!"

  Duke patted his belly, and then a big green-skinned tadpole appeared, yawning, kicking his short legs, and wandering in the air: "What are you doing, isn't it time to practice!"

   "Look over there."

   "Which side?" The chicken followed the direction Duke pointed, and saw a small triangular lake and a large number of arcanists.

   "Do you remember anything?"

   "No." Chick shook his head, "What are those arcanists doing around the small lake, are they going to take a bath?"

   "You don't even know about this spiritual spring?" Duke was surprised, "Chicken, this is the spiritual spring where your grandma lives, don't you remember?"

   "Ah!" The chick exclaimed, "My grandma!"

   "Finally remember."

   "No!" Chick said excitedly, "My grandma is looking for me to play with. I don't know what the place where my grandma lives is like!"

  It rubbed its head against Duke's neck vigorously: "Duke Duke, hurry up and save my grandma, I want to kill my grandma!"

   "Don't worry, don't worry." Duke patted the chicken's head and comforted him, "Master Keyston will help me rescue your grandma, and he will quietly send your grandma here, so now we just need to wait quietly."

   "Really, that's great!"

   "I have never done what I promised you."

   "Duke, you are awesome!" Chick smacked on Duke's face, without spitting, only the cool and moist feeling of jade.

  Duke smiled and said: "I know I'm good, but I don't want to fit together quickly. I want you to help me practice, and try to understand the mystery of the two tree kings as soon as possible!"

   "Yeah!" The chick bit Duke's finger.

   Then it turned into a pool of green liquid and merged into Duke's body. The next moment, Duke's body changed and entered the elf form.

   Lifting the hood of the arcane robe, Duke settled down quietly in this way, quietly performed the breathing method, and established breathing resonance with the 3-ring tree king-Wannian Pine Cone.

  In an instant.

  The breath became longer, and the quarrels of the arcanists not far away were also forgotten. The sea of ​​qi in the lower abdomen began to churn, and the whole person followed the breathing rhythm of the Wannian pine tower, entering a mysterious and mysterious realm.

  His thinking seems to be transformed into a bird.

  A bird flew to the edge of a round lake, took a mouthful of water from the lake, and then sprinkled the water on its feathers.

  The lake water seems to have a cleaning function, making its dull feathers instantly brighter.

  The bird flew up in satisfaction, pooped a bit during the ascent, and one of the seeds just fell into the soil by the lake.

  During the years of ignorance, the seeds germinated and grew up, growing into towering trees like the surrounding ones.

  Suddenly.

  In the gap between the changing years, a huge monster crawled from a distance. This monster couldn't see the whole picture, only knew that it was like a maggot, trying to enter the circular lake. The lake seemed to respond, rippling in circles.

   Then countless spirit beasts came from all directions, attacking the maggot monster like moths flying to the flame, and many spirit beasts died.

  The maggot monster was finally defeated, and fled from this place after shedding a tattered shell.

   Polluted by the shells of maggots, the surrounding trees died one by one, but this pine tree survived with its last breath, breathing jade dew, bathing in sunlight, and growing vigorously together with other big trees that were born one after another.

  The vicissitudes of life.

  The shells of the maggots had already been buried by dust, and the circular lake was also transformed into a triangular lake during a major earthquake.

  And this pine tree finally grew into a 3-ring tree king - Wannian Pine Tower in a certain day.

  At this moment, through the collision between spirituality, Duke felt the long tree-like trajectory of the Wannian Pine Cone.

   It cannot think, it has no intelligence.

  But I am enjoying all the nutrients to the full every day, just to make myself grow bigger, bigger, and survive all kinds of disasters, still lush and green.

   "Huh!"

  Duke broke away from the positive atmosphere of Wannian Pine Tower, and was infected by this atmosphere, and his heart was full of positivity.

  Trees may not have the ability to think, but they also have emotions.

   "Thank you, Wannian Pine Tower, thank you for your gift. If possible, I will dissuade others from cutting you down." Duke stood up from the branch, facing the towering tree, and bowed lightly, expressing his gratitude from the heart.

  The same as he had comprehended the 3-ring tree king-the mysterious vine before, he now comprehended the 3-ring tree king-Wannian Pine Tower.

   And received a gift from the Wannian Pine Cone.

  It was in the sea of ​​air, above the clouds, another seed germinated and grew into a small pine tree. This is a spiritual seed, a gift that can only be given by a tree king—or it can be understood as a kind of projection. Duke branded the projection of the Wannian pine tower in the sea of ​​air.

  The sea of ​​air changes rapidly, and the mysterious vine, the spiritual seed, which could only lie on the clouds, now sees the Wannian pine tower and quickly climbs up.

  Grow together with the spiritual seed of the Wannian Pine Cone.

   And the next moment.

  Duke suddenly felt something in his heart, sat down cross-legged again, and quietly looked into Linghai.

  There are a total of eleven kinds of visions in the spiritual sea, which arise and die all the time, and there are guarding and mysterious vines entangled with these visions.

  At this time, in the center of the 2nd Ring Spiritual Core, where the Ring of Distortion should have been, a pine tree quietly grew until it grew into a towering tree.

   There is no vision of the ubiquitous guardian and mysterious vines, only a single towering pine tree standing in the center of the spiritual core.

   After a while.

  A vague message came back from the vision of the pine tree: "Never stop! The ten thousand-year-old pine cone will never stop!"

   "This is...the Endless Ten Thousand Years Pine Cone, which is the same...mystery as the Guardian Mystery Vine!" Duke captured the message of this new vision from the spirituality emanating from the vision of the pine tree.

  Hidden in the ring of distortion is his true heart. As long as he does not lose his true heart, he will not get lost in the path of spiritual mysteries and become a fallen demon.

   Now, with the addition of Endless Wannian Pine Cone, his original heart will be better protected.

"really not bad!"

  Duke in the form of an elf bowed to the Wannian pine cone again, expressing his gratitude to this life that has lived for countless years.

   Immediately with high spirits, he jumped down from the branch.

   "Duke, what are you doing?" Kylia Nutao also left the crowd and came to the bottom of the Wannian Pine Tower.

   "Let me understand these two tree kings, Kylia, you might as well give it a try, maybe you will get unexpected gains." Duke said.

   "Then did you realize it?"

"Um."

   "Ah." Kylia was taken aback, "Did you really understand it?"

   "Yeah, this Wannian pine cone... Forget it, I can't say it, it will affect the rhythm of your comprehension. You'd better immerse yourself in it and feel the spirituality of the Wannian pine cone, so that you can get its gift." Duke said seriously.

  However, I feel that Kiria may be difficult to comprehend.

  He is a fellow practitioner of the Three Seas. With the Sea of ​​Qi, he can perform breathing techniques. With the help of the connection of natural forces, he can enter the same rhythm as the Wannian Pine Cone.

  Combined with the blessing of the elf form, this can easily be a gift.

  Kiliya only opened the spiritual sea, and the process of comprehending the ten thousand-year pine tower can only rely on the collision of spirituality itself.

   "I..." Kylia was a little unconfident, especially in front of Duke, "Let's try it first."

  She has been exposed to the mysterious vine since she was a child, but she has not been able to comprehend any mysteries, let alone the Wannian Pine Tower that she has only encountered now.

   "Try it, there is no loss if you succeed or fail." Duke encouraged Kiria to come to realize it now.

   He also ordered the two 2-ring Eudemons knights accompanying him to protect Kiria, and then he walked to the other side of the small lake.

  The common plants around here were cut down one after another by the mercenary group.

  But the king of trees with 3 rings - the shade banyan forest itself is a forest of single trees, like a green forest covering the west bank of the spiritual spring.

   Easily found the trunk of the shady banyan forest, Duke quietly climbed up a branch, and then sat down cross-legged.

   In the same way as the comprehension of the Wannian Pine Cone, close your eyes and perform the breathing method.

   In a trance.

  The familiar feeling lingered in his heart again, and he fell into the perspective of the tree king again. It seemed that the spirituality condensed in the tree king brought Duke into the vortex of time. Tens of thousands of years in a blink of an eye, directly reminiscing from the ignorant years.

  At first everything was dark, and the tree king was still in the form of a seed, wrapped in a thick layer of soil around it, and couldn't even germinate.

until one day.

  A big earthquake cracked the surface of the earth, it finally got a little space, sprouted, grew, and soon grew into a forest.

  Countless spirit beasts inhabit it, birds build nests on it, squirrels drill holes in it, fish play around its aerial roots when the water rises, and small animals eat its leaves to satisfy their hunger when it dries up...a ​​tree is an ecological circle.

  Accompanies birds, beasts, insects and fish, and feeds on sunshine, rain and dew.

  The life of the shady banyan forest has just passed so plainly. It is much younger than the Wannian pine cone. It has never experienced the invasion of ancient evil things, but sprouted in a major earthquake. The spiritual spring around it has always maintained a triangle shape.

   Special feelings come and go quickly.

  Duke opened his eyes and smiled again: "Successful, I in the elf form, comprehending the mystery of the tree king is as harmonious as water and milk."

  In the sea of ​​air.

  On a single cloud, the spiritual seeds of the green banyan forest have germinated and grown into a small banyan tree.

   "There are three spiritual seeds, and I am one step closer to building an elf paradise." Duke sighed slightly in his heart, "It's a pity that elves are hard to find, and wild elves are even rarer. Except for the chicken that I sent to the door, I have only seen the house elf Kikyo."

   Shaking his head.

  The next moment, with a movement in his heart, he closed his eyes and looked inside the Linghai.

  The new mystery has formed a vision in the spiritual sea. It is a banyan tree growing from the ring-shaped spiritual core. The branches continue to extend, and then countless aerial roots hang down, covering the visions of small wild flowers, ants, sea scorpions, etc. under the shade of the tree.

   "Amiability · Shade Banyan Forest." Duke has already obtained the information fed back by the spirituality emanating from the banyan tree.

  Guardian·Mysterious Vine can protect Duke's spiritual sea from being impacted by phantoms of ancient times.

  Never Stop·Wannian Pine Tape can protect Duke's heart and will not get lost easily.

  And Affinity·Green Banyan Forest makes his spiritual sea and spiritual core more compatible with spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, making it easier for him to improve his understanding of spiritual mysteries in these two aspects.

   "Hmm!" Duke thought silently, "That is to say, Affinity · Shady Banyan Forest gave me a bit of talent in the field of animal taming and spiritual planting. If I tame animals or cultivate spiritual plants, it is easier than ordinary arcanists, and it is easier to improve."

no doubt.

   This is a very powerful "mystery".

   "The three kinds of mysteries, Guardian · Mysterious Vine and Endless · Ten Thousand Years Pine Cone, have no obvious effects. Only Affinity · Shady Banyan Forest directly helps my practice, very good, very good!" After thinking about it, Duke clapped his hands.

  Quickly release the spirit form.

   Didn’t reach the limit, so after the chick condensed its body, it was still full of energy: “Duke, has my grandma been rescued?”

   "Don't worry, don't worry, did you see there, Master Keyston is trying to rescue it. Don't worry, your grandma will be reunited with you soon."

   "Then I'll wait!" It's about grandma, and the chick dare not have a bad mouth with Duke.

   So it behaved very well for the time being, Duke patted his stomach lightly, and it quickly slammed into it, returning to the sea of ​​​​qi to recharge its batteries.

   Seeing that the sky is getting dark.

  The arcane masters by the lake have already chosen to camp. Obviously, tonight they will have a long talk at the edge of the spiritual spring, and set a long-term plan for the construction of Cuihai City.

  Duke didn't join in the fun.

   Instead, he was entrenched on the branches of the tree king of the third ring-the shade of the banyan forest, and continued to recall the scene he felt when he understood the mystery.

  Through the spirituality of the tree king, it was like going back in time, allowing him to know what happened countless years ago.

   "The shell of the ancient evil in Mutation Forest No. 3 turned out to be the shell of the huge maggot monster. This ancient evil wanted to devour the spiritual spring, but was expelled by the spirit beast. The shell left behind can still cause bad effects ten thousand years later."

  However, the scene of perception is blurred, and Duke can only see the outline of this ancient evil.

   "I don't know if this ancient evil has survived until now. If there is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

  That maggot monster was exiled by countless spirit beasts with flesh and blood, and the number of deaths may not be counted.

  Even so, it only shed a layer of shell, and then left calmly, which shows how powerful the ancient evil is.

   "It gives me the feeling that Loren Sangovi might not be able to handle it."

   Facing the 9-ring sub-dragon - Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon, Loren Sangovi was like a god, killing wantonly, just like ordinary people killing a chicken.

  However, in the blurry picture of ten thousand years ago, there are many sub-dragons among the spirit beasts besieging that ancient evil. However, it is still necessary to rely on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood to fill the gap between them. It can be seen that the methods of the ancient evil are much stronger than the morning star's arcane teacher.

   "Forget it, why think too much, the sky is falling and there is a tall man holding it up. The storm calendar has been opened for more than 4,400 years. Humans have conquered countless lands in wild forests and established eighteen kingdoms... The ancient evils may have rotted in time."

  Now is the age of mankind.

  …

   "Duke, where have you been? I didn't see you in the meeting just now." Kiston was eating barbecue by the campfire and asked Duke who had just rushed over with Kylia.

  Looking at the two of them, Keyston said seriously: "I have no objection to you dating Kylia, but don't make mistakes under my nose. The daughter of the Nutao family will never allow Meng Lang to act before she gets married!"

  Kiliya was embarrassed, and lowered her head and replied: "Grandpa, what are you talking about! Duke and I have been comprehending the tree king with three rings."

   "Really." Keyston was dubious.

   "Yes, Lord Keyston, that's all." Duke responded indifferently. As for things like holding hands and kissing lips, it is obviously not a mistake.

   "You two, have you realized anything?" Keyston asked instead.

  Kilia suddenly showed a sweet smile: "I didn't understand anything, but Duke did. Grandpa and Duke both realized it."

   "Oh, really?" Keyston was taken aback, very surprised, "Is your understanding already exaggerated to this extent?"

  Duke replied with a smile: "It's not that my understanding is too exaggerated, but that I am a 2-ring elf envoy. After establishing a breath resonance with the tree king, it is easy to get the tree king's gift, so as to comprehend the tree king's mystery."

  In his view, the so-called mystery of the tree king is not a mystery.

   but a spiritual projection.

   During thousands of years of time, the tree king has condensed spirituality to the extreme, producing many incredible effects.

  With the help of breath resonance, he can easily project this effect into the sea of ​​qi and the sea of ​​spirit.

  Nature's real spiritual sea is projected in the human body, producing a spiritual sea; the rich spirituality of the tree king with three rings can also be projected in the human body. This projection is the cause of the spiritual seed, and the so-called Tree King Mystery.

   "Fellow practitioners in the three seas really took advantage!" Keyston said with emotion, "When you break through the spiritual fog and become a great arcane mage, you may be able to refine the sea of ​​energy and the sea of ​​blood into arcane weapons, which is equivalent to having two more important arcane weapons than others for nothing!"

   "Everything is a spiritual guide."

   "Tsk tsk."

  Looking at Duke who looked calm and breezy, Kiston felt a little sour in his heart. The spirituality of Heijiaohe was one stone, and eight fights might fall on Duke.

  …

  After the black jade horseshoe dragon was dealt with lightly by Loren Sangovi, there was no place for spirit beasts to stand in Cuihai Valley, and the urban construction of Cuihai City officially started.

  Countless airships flew to Cuihai Valley, transporting materials, puppets, and personnel.

  Nearby Sheshou Town once again ushered in an explosion of crowds, and businessmen from the entire Fengxi area who had heard the news were rushing here.

  Building a city from scratch has too many stakes involved.

  Duke's Giant of Light Spirit Tool Company also participated in the construction of Cuihai City, and the lighting fixtures of all official buildings were contracted by the Giant of Light. In addition, the Giant of Light also continues to compete with Runwanjia Spiritual Tool Factory in other spiritual tool products.

   Now that Duke's status has skyrocketed, he is already on an equal footing with the Great Arcanist, and even the Giant of Light is also rising.

   completely crushed Runwanjia.

  However, as the chairman of the board, Duke didn't worry about these specific matters at all. He always followed behind Keyston Raging Wave.

  A team led by the Great Austrian Mage, led by Keyston, personally drove a group of diving puppets into the spiritual spring to clear the spring water channel, and explored the surroundings through the spring water channel to roughly determine how many small springs there are around.

   Often a large spiritual spring is surrounded by a large number of small spiritual springs.

   Wait until April day.

  Duke finally got the good news that the diving puppet operation team has completed the first round of exploration of this large spiritual spring.

   Found fourteen small springs around.

   These fourteen small springs are all places where mage towers can be built in the future, and each spring is priceless.

   "It's more than expected. Originally, I thought ten small springs would be enough, but I didn't expect there were four more." Keyston was very happy, "And the spiritual throughput of the large springs is much higher than the springs in Shenjiao City. It is a good spring for building a city!"

  He first looked at Duke: "Are you going to continue using your teacher's mage tower, or are you going to rebuild a new mage tower in Cuihai City?"

   "I plan to build a new mage tower." Duke responded.

  The Suktara Mage Tower has been transferred to his name, but he still decided to build a new Mage Tower in Cuihai Valley.

  The reason is very simple. The mage tower built by the 3-ring arcane mage is no longer worthy of his status as a learned sage.

   This is also the case, so he will discuss with his teacher Suktala to reform the Suktala Mage Tower, fully open it to the outside world, and embrace the new system of industry, education and research. In the future, even if both Suktara and Duke leave, this mage tower can still flourish.

   "Then there is a spring, you must fight for it, and don't let that old Bernoulli take it." Keyston spread out the hand-drawn map.

  In the southwest corner of Cuihai Valley, there are two small springs close together.

  Kiston smiled brightly: "We will help you grab one of the springs, so that the other spring will be reserved for you temporarily because it is too close and no one will fight for it. Sooner or later, you will need the second spring."

   This is exactly the same as the development of the Keystone Mage Tower.

  At that time, the Nutao family took a fancy to two small springs next to each other, and decisively took them down, which developed into the scale of the mountain city it is today.

   Listen to people's persuasion to eat enough.

  Duke nodded again and again: "Okay, I will choose this spring!"

  Paused, he looked at Keyston expectantly again: "My lord, you didn't forget to rescue Xiaoji's grandma during your dive exploration, right?"

   "Hey, how could I forget the ancient spirit!" Keyston took out a fist-sized crystal ball from his pocket.

   Throw it to Duke.

  Duke took the crystal ball with both hands, and at a glance he saw an ancient spirit in the shape of a trilobite wandering in the crystal ball.

  The whole body is outlined by fluorescent light, and it is the same life form as the big iron-headed fish he has seen, and the big dragonfly Das.

   Looking for tickets~
