Standing in front of a cave surrounded by a light blue halo and completely covered by dark green vines and foliage, Donald's palm stroked the rings of growth on the giant wooden stake beside him, but his eyes stayed on the fallen ones. "Statue" near the stump.

Finger stepped on the cheek of a tree man who was more than five meters tall an hour ago, but now it is only the size of an ordinary human.

Followed all the way, Donald can be said to rely on the tree man he summoned to watch the whole process.

From the rise of a group of tree people at two in the morning, to the moment when the morning sun came out, the tree roots returned to the ground and the tree people shrank and disappeared, Donald saw it all.

It's just that he didn't understand what happened.

Why are these tree people running around carrying this stake?

Why are they completely inactive as soon as the sun comes out?

And how did this mysterious cave that suddenly appeared in this environment that was originally just an ordinary woodland?

There are too many questions in his mind, even Donald, who has a quick mind, can't tell what kind of secrets are hidden in it at this time.

"In this way, Claremont may have really had **** luck at that time. As a exposed homeless person, he just encountered such a scene in this huge forest."

Anthony touched the back of his head and didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only smack his lips and say something in a muffled voice.

"Perhaps, so speaking of it, are we a little lucky? We just came across this scene after looking for it for a day."

Donald left the stump, turned his eyes to the inside of the cave, and replied in a strange tone.

Is it really luck...

"Let's go in here and see?"

Stephanie broke a branch from a tree person and took it in her hand. Although Donald had said that these tree people had completely lost their activity, she still felt a little stubborn that since it was such a natural tree person. The stuff is always worth some money.

"It's all here, there's no reason not to go in and take a look... I'll go in alone, you are all outside, if there is any danger, I will notify Lilo, and then run back, you are in Pick me up outside, and watch here by the way, to prevent someone from ambushing us."

Donald wanted to say that we all go in together, but after thinking about it, he felt that doing so was a bit of a gamble. If there were any traps in the cave that were specifically aimed at aliens, or someone else happened to be approaching, no one would be outside and it would be easy to get out. Accident.

"I'll go in with you. It's enough to have Anthony and Lilo outside. I'd love to see what the giant tree man that Mr. Claremont said looks like."

Stephanie leaned over to Donald's side and said actively.

"Well... OK, then you go in with me."

If it was just one more person, Donald asked himself whether he could still take care of it.

"This should be the entrance to a secret realm, otherwise there is no way to explain its sudden appearance. It should be related to the tree stump next to it. Could it be that the tree stump is actually the entrance to the secret realm?"

Until he stepped into the secret realm, Donald was still thinking about the origin of this secret realm.

When he stepped in, his body rubbed against the branches, leaves and vines, and his vision immediately went dark, as if he had stepped into another world.

Donald has entered the Secret Realm twice, once on the Illusory Island, and once in the mountains outside Beluye. These two experiences gave Donald a preconceived impression of the Secret Realm, that is, they are often inside. It is a natural wild environment.

However, this time, when he entered the secret realm of the Howling Forest, what Donald saw was a long corridor paved with cyan slate. On both sides, there were lanterns about the height of one person, and the top was lit with light green fluorescent vines. column.

And beyond these things, there is a stone wall of overlapping gray giant stones and some vines clinging to it.

It's not like something that can grow naturally.

"Is the scene in the cave that Claremont said at the time like this?"

Bending down to look at the light in the lamp post, Stephanie deliberately stomped the floor with her foot raised, confirming that it was indeed a solid brick.

"No, I clearly remember that the cave he mentioned is an ordinary cave, with a huge tree man lying in it... He lied to us?"

Donald recalled the scene in the cave that Claremont had told him, which was obviously quite different from the scene in front of him.

But to say that Claremont deceived him, Donald couldn't understand why. Since he had already told them the external scene of the cave, why should he lie in such a place where he could see it at a glance?

Go all the way along this promenade, after 100 meters, you can vaguely see a large green light in front of you.

"Be careful, don't get too far from me, there is an energy reaction ahead."

Donald kept his spiritual vision turned on and continued to move forward, stepping on the last brick at the end of the corridor. What he saw was the stairs extending down in front of him and a long, uneven woods, no... It cannot simply be said to be a forest, but a place where hundreds of wood elves gather.

In the state of spiritual vision, the scene in front of him was very similar to the scene he saw in the Howling Forest last night. Before Donald came in, he was still thinking about where the wood elves went, but they were all hidden here.

"I understand, these wood elves originally existed in this secret realm. They will leave the secret realm at night and come to the Howling Forest, and return to the secret realm when the sun rises the next day. The Spirit of Wood is crying, maybe it's the one in front of me..."

Donald's gaze was farther than the wood elves. There stood a giant seat about 20 meters high and nearly 10 meters wide, made of thick tree roots and dark green vines. Sitting in the middle of the seat is a giant tree man with a height of nearly 15 meters!

Unlike the tree people around the tree stump, who are covered with branches and broken leaves, this one just has some branches on the head, not the kind of random growth, more like a natural existence, those branches. The display generally shows a state of being born sideways and then vertically upwards, which makes them look like the crowns of human kings worn on the tree people's heads.

And its tree skin is not even dark green, but a very dazzling silver-gray, and the ravines on its body are flowing with dark golden brilliance, which is caused by the cross-shaped golden spar in its head. Born, flowing all over its body.

It just sits in the seat with its body leaning to the right and its right arm against its cheek, as if it has fallen into a long slumber. , making a low sound.

hiss~hu~shi~hu~

The sound of heavy breathing came from the side, and Donald turned his head to look, only to find that Stephanie was sweating profusely.

"Donald, I'm a little breathless..."

Stephanie stared at the giant tree man for a moment, then teetered as if she had run for miles.

"Who made you look at it this way, it's a demigod that is only one step away from the real god!"

Even the dullest person can see the extraordinaryness of the giant tree man in front of him. Combining what Claremont had said and the ancient book in his hand, Donald quickly guessed its identity.

The demigod who wrote this ancient book in his hand!

"Close your eyes, pull the corner of my clothes, let's go."

Donald just wants to hurry up to the demigod now, not to admire its face, but to find its relics!

Yes, the giant tree man was dead, Donald was sure of that.

One is because of the records in the ancient books of the demigods, and the other is because of what these wood elves did before.

He vaguely understood why those wood elves were crying in the middle of the night.

The passing of this demigod in front of him made the wood elves who were created by it or who came to this world with it felt extremely sad, and this secret realm was actually equivalent to a moving coffin.

The wood elves carried the coffin through the forest in the dead of night, so that the dead demigod could continue to feel the territory it completely controlled.

"The dead king is still the king..."

With some emotion, he withdrew his gaze and bury his head forward. The above is just Donald's personal guess. It is not clear whether it is true or not, and he can't bother to explore these reasons now. He only knows that this is the corpse of a demigod. Some of the things that rise up may be extremely valuable treasures for Donald.

Traveling through the elves of wood, Donald completely restrained his mental power and turned himself into an ordinary person. This is imitating Claremont's previous behavior. He can enter here as an ordinary person and go out alive, which means that With these wood spirits, it is very likely that they will not attack ordinary people.

Facts have proved that Donald's approach is correct, there are no emergencies along the way, and those wood elves seem to have fallen into a deep sleep with the giant tree people and are silent.

"Donald~lightnovelpub.net~ Do you think that's where Claremont used to take the ancient book of demigods?"

Walking on the stone path in the center and crossing the woods, Stephanie quickly noticed the scene that was originally blocked by the woods. There was actually an open space between the giant tree and the woods, and in the center of the open space there was An ordinary-sized stone table.

In fact, this kind of thing appears in such an environment, which is not normal no matter how you look at it...

Subconsciously approaching the table, there was nothing on it, no surprise, Donald squatted down to look at the stone table, and took out the ancient demigod book from the space ring.

It's just a random action.

However, at the moment when the ancient book of demigods appeared, the book that had not changed for a long time suddenly burst into a spot of light, and Donald didn't have time to react, and stayed in place.

"You're finally here..."

A certain voice suddenly sounded in the air, mixed with joy, relief and some inexplicable special emotion.
