Age of Mysticism

Chapter 315: moon lake

   Earl Ould looked at the tea in his cup and realized that something might have happened on the grassland of the ancestors.

  The ethnic groups in the western border trace back their history, and their ancestors all came from the grasslands of the ancestors. At that time, under the selfless irrigation and nourishment of the World Tree, the grassland of the ancestors had the most fertile land in the entire western region, and the World Tree became the totem of the hearts of the various races in the western region, and was worshiped and protected.

  The grassland of the ancestors became a brilliant civilization in ancient times.

  It is only the grassland civilization of the ancestors conceived by the world tree, but it lags behind the five ancient civilizations. In the ancient war that spread to the whole world, the grassland of the ancestors was involved. The tribes in the grassland were slaughtered, and the World Tree was burned and destroyed.

  Thousands of years have passed, and the world tree that once covered the sky and the sun is only left with tree stumps and some branches scattered on the grassland. They are called the world tree relics.

  The main relic of the World Tree is located in the middle of the grassland of the ancestors. It is the stump left by the World Tree, with a maximum diameter of 1,500 meters and a maximum height of 600 meters. The petrification of the outer bark forms a ring of mountains surrounding a lake in the middle.

  The lake has a beautiful name called Moon Lake, because the shadow of the moon reflected on the lake at night is very large, and it can take up one-third of the lake when the full moon is full. Looking down from the crater at night, it is easy to be fascinated by the beautiful moon shadow.

  The overflowing lake water forms more than a dozen waterfalls of different sizes around the crater. Some are trickling streams; some are turbulent torrents with a width of up to 100 meters; some are jetting out from the cracks in the rocks like a dragon's breath.

  The waterfalls converge into a river flowing far away, and there are prairie barbarian tribes scattered on both sides of the river.

  In the barbarian tribes, whether they are elves, orcs, halflings, goblins, dwarves... They still follow the duties passed down by their ancestors and guard the world tree.

   It's just that the remaining power of the World Tree is constantly weakening.

  Wait for the real death of World Tree, the grassland of the ancestors it created will also be buried by wind and sand.

  And when the survivors guarding here accepted the reality and prepared to accompany the World Tree to complete the final journey, Xinying brought a message from the east.

  A ferocious Warsong who traveled the world returned, she brought a method to revive the World Tree, and awakened part of the World Tree's power through a World Tree relic.

  Now the power of that part of the World Tree has transformed into an ancient Treant, walking towards the World Tree Lord ruins...

  Ancient treant!

  That was an extraordinary creature that lived in symbiosis with the World Tree, but since the World Tree was destroyed, all ancient treants also died.

   Have ancient treants really been awakened?

   World Tree saved?

  The news swept across all the tribes near the ruins of the World Tree Lord like a tidal wave, and the people of all the tribes stepped out of their tents or burrows, competing to guess the authenticity of the news.

  After all, the ancestors tried to revive the World Tree, but all failed without exception. Is this news true or false?

  But more and more letter eagles are flying from the east, and all the news sent confirms that the ancient treant really existed, and it is coming here.

  Its footsteps are heavy and steady, and its branches and leaves are lush with exuberant vitality. It is a real ancient treant, a healthy ancient treant.

  The spirits that revived it are coming together.

  Her name is Qingkong, the ferocious battle song among the grassland elves, she left the grassland of the ancestors when she was young to find a way to revive the World Tree. Now that she is back, she has become the patriarch of the Moonsong Tribe, bringing hope to the grasslands of the ancestors.

   Then more and more elves came riding fast horses. The horses were so tired that they couldn't foam at the mouth, and the elves were so tired that they almost fainted, but their excitement made them tell what they saw excitedly.

   It's an ancient Treant!

   It's really an ancient treant!

  It is coming here, and it is coming here together with Fairy Clear Sky!

  The entire grassland boiled.

  The chiefs of the tribe immediately dispatched the most powerful warriors to protect the ancient tree people, and the cavalry of the small group gathered into a large tide of cavalry and ran towards the east.

  The rest of the people are ready to meet the ancient tree man and elf Clear Sky.

  In the following days, the barbarian tribes who came from afar gathered towards the World Tree ruins, and the tents on the grass continued to grow. Everyone was waiting nervously. Even the dwarves, who liked to drink and have a good time, stood in the open space all day looking towards the east.

  In the sky, there is the densest flock of messenger eagles on the grassland of the ancestors, and the cavalrymen who return the letter come one after another. Although they all brought the same news, people still never tire of listening to the news they got from themselves and other tribes.

  Where did the ancient treant go?

   How strong and beautiful is it? How many branches, how many burls, how many branches, how many leaves?

  Every news can cause people to talk for a long time.

  In addition to discussing the ancient treants, the Elf Clear Sky is also the main topic among the tribes.

  When did she leave the grassland of the ancestors, which ferocious Warsong tribe was she born in? What has she experienced during her travels, and what is her strength?

  The days are spent day by day in anticipation.

  In the early morning of a certain day, there were no more eagles shuttled in the sky, and no cavalry rushed back, and the grassland was enveloped in silence.

   People who realized something spontaneously mounted their mounts and gathered towards the east. Everyone straightened their waists and looked towards the rising sun. No one used magic and skills to increase their vision, and all greeted the arrival of hope with the most devout attitude.

   Soon the earth began to shake, and a large group of cavalry appeared from the horizon of the grassland. Under the scorching sun, you can see a tall tree, surrounded by cavalry, walking towards this side.

   It's an ancient Treant!

   It's really an ancient treant!

   It's coming this way!

  A trumpet was blown, and then all the tribal trumpeters took out their horns and blew a triumphal tune.

  The long sound formed a wave that spanned thousands of years...

   Qingkong rides on the back of a camel and walks beside the ancient tree man. The leading cavalry spread out to the wings, letting them into the forefront of the ranks.

  Not far ahead is the welcoming team, with different races riding different mounts, horses, camels, pack animals, wargs, raptor lizards... the team stretches to both sides with no end in sight.

  Behind the welcoming team is the towering crater of the World Tree Master Ruins. The sun shines on the gray mountain wall, and silver waterfalls rush down.

  Seeing this scenery again, Qing Kong still couldn't help but be infected by the magnificence, thinking about what the World Tree used to look like.

  The ancient treant never stopped, walking towards the crater. Wherever they passed, the barbarians all automatically moved out of the way and bowed their heads to salute it. The ancient treant didn't stop for anyone, every step it took brought up a large piece of soil, and the soil was full of young grass buds.

Clear Sky stopped the camel in front of an old elf on horseback. She lifted her hood to reveal the pattern on her cheeks, and then saluted the old elf: "World Tree blesses you, High Priest Galan. I am the elf Clear Sky , the patriarch of the ferocious Warsong Moonsong tribe. The ceremony to revive the World Tree is about to begin, please lead the ferocious Warsong to maintain order with the priests and patriarchs."

  The high priest of Galan wore a crown of thorns representing the identity of the high priest, and his skin was like dry bark. His eyes were covered with a cloudy film, and he used another vision to observe the ferocious war song elf in front of him.

   "Son, Ferocious Warsong is at your disposal, what do we need?"

Clear Sky looked at the ancient treants who had gone away, and said to the High Priest Galan: "The revival of the World Tree will form a tide in Moon Lake. At that time, the World Tree could not control the torrents. It is too dangerous to gather so many people here and must be evacuated." Get away from the river and the crater."

  The high priest of Galan ordered the elves behind him to evacuate the barbarians gathered here by the ferocious Warsong organization away from the crater.

   Then he asked Clear Sky: "Is there anything else we need to do?"

"The revival of the World Tree will discharge the mysterious energy that penetrates into the root system. These mysterious energies will turn into monsters and attack the twigs that grow out of the World Tree. Ferocious War Song can walk on the surface of the Moon Lake and is responsible for destroying all the roots that are discharged by the World Tree. monster.

  Those monsters are very powerful, try to choose a powerful and ferocious battle song. "

  The High Priest of Galan sent elves to inform all tribes of Ferocious Warsong, and sent the best warriors into Moon Lake to prepare for battle.

   "Patriarch Clear Sky, other barbarians also have very powerful warriors. They must also hope to participate in this great ceremony and bring glory to their tribe."

  Clear Sky knew that the honor of protecting the World Tree could not be monopolized by Ferocious Warsong.

  The revival of the World Tree means that the scattered barbarians in the western region will gradually unite together. After these warriors participate in the protection of the World Tree, they will form the Moonlight Knights and become the guards of the Moonlight Royal Court.

  The high priest of Galan can think of what will happen in the future so quickly, he is indeed a wise man of the fierce war song.

   Qing Kong said indifferently: "The power to protect the young branches of the World Tree, of course, the stronger the better. I have been away from the grassland of the ancestors for too long, and I am already very unfamiliar with this place. I will leave the selection of warriors to you."

   "Patriarch Clear Sky, please rest assured."

   Qingkong led her team forward, and then climbed up the crater with the ancient treant.

   Surrounded by craters, the surface of Moon Lake is smooth and clean, without any ripples. The huge spring in the middle of the lake gushes up, but the lake surface seems to be still, and disappears after a few ripples.

  The roots of the ancient treant could easily penetrate into the rock, and the steep mountain wall did not cause any hindrance to it. It walked up the mountain along the mountain wall, then came to the lake, and walked into the lake without stopping.

  The ancient treant who entered Moon Lake did not sink. It moved its feet full of roots and walked steadily on the lake, as if there was some support under the lake. It walked in the direction of the spring, and the ripples swayed at its feet and disappeared quickly.

  At this time, Ferocious Warsong and other barbarian warriors appeared from all directions of the crater. They held weapons in their hands and looked at the ancient treants walking on the lake.

  Behind Qingkong, the half-orc Kyle Hain held the knife in both hands and gasped for breath. The excitement made him unable to control his muscles, and the knife shook violently in his hand.

   "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I could participate in this battle. If I can survive to the end, I must bring this honor to my mother, and I can take her away from the tribe and return to her hometown."

  The sheriff jumped out of Jenny's pocket and turned into an ocelot. He dipped his front paws in the lake water, then quickly retracted them in disgust, and said to Qingkong with resentment: "Miss Qingkong, you know that cats hate water the most. Can I wait for you on the shore, anyway, my combat power is against you Said, equal to no."

  Clear Sky stepped into the lake, and the blood of the ferocious Warsong allowed her to walk on this special lake.

  She walked towards the center of the lake, and at the same time said to the sheriff: "The recovery of the World Tree will inevitably bring down blessings. The more monsters killed, the more blessings will be obtained, and a participation award will be obtained on the shore."

  Hearing that he could get the blessing of the World Tree, the sheriff's lazy body straightened instantly. The sharp claws were exposed, and he bared his teeth and said, "Miss Qingkong wait for me..."

  But the sheriff’s paws had just entered the water, and they retracted immediately. The cat’s fear of water is not so easy to overcome.

  At this time, Jenny took out a pendant and put it around the sheriff's neck: "This is a prop made by Miss Weatherlight, called 'Limbo', which allows you to walk on the water."

  The sheriff wearing the pendant stretched out his paws to the lake again. This time, his paws did not go into the water, but stepped on the water. Seeing that he could really walk on the water, the police chief rushed forward and chased towards the clear sky.

  He knew that following Qingkong was not only safe but also a good meal.

  Jen Ferney took out another "Limbo" pendant and gave it to Kyle Hain: "Miss Weatherlight made this for you."

   "Thank you, Miss Qingkong, thank you, Miss Jenny." Kyle Hain took the pendant and put it around his neck, tried again that he could really step on the lake, and quickly chased after Qingkong.

  Jen Ferni took out a "Limbo" pendant again, and she looked at Modesty.

  Modesti held the scimitar and said with a smile: "Don't give me this thing, I am also a fierce battle song."

   After finishing speaking, Modesty stepped on the lake and walked forward.

  Jen Ferni put the Limbo pendant on herself, and quickly caught up with the team.

  In other directions, the ferocious warsong elves entered Moon Lake one after another. Other barbarian warriors walked up the lake if they had spells and props to walk on the lake, and stayed on the shore if they didn’t.

   Soon on the lake and shore of Moon Lake, each warrior occupies a position. Outside the crater, the barbarians retreated to the distance, silently praying for the World Tree.

  The ancient treant walked to the spring of Moon Lake, and a force instantly pulled it underwater. The surging spring water stopped at this moment and formed a downward vortex.

   The water in the vortex is turbulent, and a bottomless black hole appears in the center of the vortex. The black hole expanded bigger and bigger, and soon expanded into a hole with a diameter of ten meters.

  Looking down from above, you can see a little bit of green flickering in the dark underground space.

  Qing Kong said to the warriors around him: "After I go down, the mysterious energy will rise up and be released. Your task is to guard the entrance of this cave and do your best to prevent monsters from rushing in.

  The twigs of the world tree are very fragile, if you want it to grow, don't let it get hurt..."

   After finishing speaking, Qingkong jumped into the black hole, leaving the sheriff dumbfounded at the hole.
