Chapter 165 The ancient tree of knowledge that cuts off...

  After returning to the Forest of Elves, Mu You asked Lin Xue and Xiaoya to go to the Qingnang Tribe together.

  The troll is not a low-level thing, and he has many talents. It would be difficult for him to capture alive alone, so he called two people to help.

  Xiaoya's mount is a nightsaber she persuaded, a creature specially produced by the forest elves. It can be used as a mount and has a good fighting ability.

  The two girls, one riding a leopard and the other riding a broom, made Mu You, who only had a donkey, envious, and became more determined to cultivate a chocobo as soon as possible.

  Mu You told them where they were, and the two rushed to the Qingnang tribe first, while he himself transferred to Granny Spindle's house and handed in the task.

  【You handed 42 copies of spider silk cotton to Granny Spindle, she was very happy, praised you as a good boy, and said that you can come to her for any clothes that need to be repaired in the future, and gave you a pair of 'exquisite gloves' as a gift. 】

  【Exquisite Gloves: Make your use of weapons more dexterous and refined. When using long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, guns and wands, the range increases by 15%; when using melee weapons such as swords, claws and spears, the attack speed increases by 15%. 】

Mu You took it out and took a look. These are a pair of gloves made of animal skin and cotton silk. They are thin and breathable, and there is a hint of green gleam on the surface, indicating that this is a piece of sophisticated equipment. The increase is not high, only 15%. , but its versatility is very strong, and it is useful for both melee and long-distance combat.

   As a free gift, Mu You of course accepted it happily, and immediately equipped the game characters.

  【Grandma Spindle took your fishing net and started working. Repairing, expected to be completed in 10 hours...]

  Ten hours, will not be brought back until tomorrow, Mu You left the old man's house, and rode a donkey to the Qingnang tribe.

  Two and a half hours later, I finally returned to the previous freshwater lake and joined Xiaoya. It was almost dusk at this time.

   Mu You dawdled around for a while, and after the sky completely darkened, he took out the jack-o-lantern and went to the lake to search.

  However, it may be because too much time has passed, and the footprints in the forest are not easy to preserve, and they have almost disappeared. Muyou's lantern jumped repeatedly along the lake for a long time, but there was no response.

   In desperation, he had no choice but to sprinkle a handful of lucky dust into the lamp.

  【Lucky dust fell, and the jack-o-lantern projected a dazzling brilliance. On the surrounding mud, some footprints that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye were reflected. 】

  【These footprints are slender and unique, obviously not from elves or ordinary animals. Some moss marks on the edges of the footprints, combined with the daytime tasks, indicate that this is very likely to be the footprints of trolls that you need to investigate. Do you want to track it? 】

   Sure enough, I found footprints!

  【Tracking footprints...】

  The next step is the tracking process, but it takes much longer than expected.

  The three of them followed for almost two hours and finally found their destination.

  【You followed the footprints all the way, and finally came to the foot of an unnamed mountain. 】

  【In front of your eyes, is a narrow and damp small rock cave. The dark and dark cave is constantly blowing out cold air, causing howls, as if there are fierce ghosts howling in it. 】

[You go up to check and find that the flat ground in front of the cave entrance is covered with green grass, which seems to be flat and there is no trace of trampling... But this little trick cannot be hidden from the detection of pumpkin lanterns. You quickly find that the grass at the entrance of the cave is drier than the one next to it , the color is also darker, it is very likely that a large number of trolls pass by every day, and the pigmentation accumulated over a long period of time...]

  After a long time? That said, trolls have been operating in the Elven Forest for a while now...

   After thinking for a while, Mu You held the pocket watch and tried to enter the cave.

  【You enter the cave and find that the cave leads to a deeper place in the distance. The ground is full of corpses. This seems to be a place where trolls are buried. It is difficult for non-trolls to pass through. As soon as you took a step, you were strangled to death by several ghosts full of resentment! 】

  【You are dead, lifespan -1, remaining lifespan is 429 years. 】

  …

   "Good guy."

   Mu You didn't expect this cave to be so powerful, he was killed by Zhen just as soon as he took a step into it.

  【Time flies, before you return to the cave. This time, you choose...]

  The cave cannot be entered, and they can only wait nearby for the troll to come back.

  Mu You set up a trap array near the cave, and then hid around with Xiao Yalinxue in an ambush.

   It didn't take long this time, and a new prompt popped up about a quarter of an hour later.

  【You saw three trolls from a distance, walking towards this side with a big golden-red tree on their shoulders, moving quietly, for fear of making any noise. 】

   "Carrying a big tree? So these trolls are here to steal the tree?" Mu You was taken aback.

  But there was no time to think about it at this time, and soon the three trolls stepped into the trap.

  【Three trolls were entangled by the buckled trap at the same time, they were shocked, dropped the tree in their hands, and roared angrily, you choose...】

   Seeing the text prompt, Mu You immediately called Xiaoya and Lin Xue to act.

  The three of them fought together, and Mu You used a water prison technique first to seal one of the trolls, and then began to surround and beat the remaining two.

  【You, together with the unknown person and the pea breeder, launched a siege to the troll. In addition, there were a total of seven summoned beasts, including the shadow warhawk, night saber, wild boar, and reindeer, to help out. 】

  【This is an unfair duel, under ten vs. two, you quickly beat the two trolls to death. 】

  【Under cooperative killing, the lifespan belongs to the killer, and the experience is divided according to the contribution. You and the pea breeder get +1 lifespan, you get 8 experience points, the unknown person gets 4 experience points, and the pea breeder gets 10 experience points. 】

Sure enough, the summoners in this game are very unreasonable. Xiaoya's own strength is the lowest among the three, but her summoned beast A went up to bite, but the output was the highest among the three, and she got the most experience points .

[The last troll quickly escaped from the water dungeon, but was beaten to death by the ten surrounding enemies in a blink of an eye, and was crushed by the little wild boar, leaving only his last breath. With the talent of the devil, its wounds began to heal at an extremely fast speed...]

  【You go forward and pour a bottle of sleeping potion into his mouth, and the troll immediately falls asleep. 】

  【You captured this troll alive! 】

   The troll can recover blood, and it is useless to kill it, so Mu You had to use a bottle of sleeping potion.

  【You searched around and found a logging ax*1 and a dead ancient tree of knowledge*1. 】

  【Lumbering Axe: A magic ax specially used for cutting trees, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort when logging. 】

  【Ancient tree of knowledge: The ancient tree of knowledge is one of the ancient tree races of the forest elves. It has profound knowledge and is a symbol of the wisdom of the elves. It also has good combat power. Possess the ability 'wisdom training': creatures that enter the ancient tree of knowledge and communicate with it can perceive the origin of wisdom, thereby increasing their intelligence value by a little. The ancient tree of knowledge can be trained up to ten times a day, and each unit can increase its intelligence by up to ten points through the ancient tree of knowledge. 】

  【This dead ancient tree of knowledge, the wood is highly compatible with magic, it is an excellent material for making wands, and you can get a lot of money if you sell it. But this ancient tree has just died, and it still retains the complete heart of the ancient tree. If you can find an elf who is willing to fuse the remains of the treant, you may be able to revive it. 】

   "An ancient tree that can be trained intelligently?"

   This text shows that Mu You was stunned, and there was only one thought in his mind: developed!

  The tree of life has not been planted yet, but an ancient tree of knowledge has been cut down first!

   This thing can increase everyone's intelligence by ten points, which is not outrageous, but the point is everyone!

This tree is of limited value to a single person, but it is an invaluable treasure to an entire group. Everyone can get ten attributes from it. The more people it benefits, the greater its effect , it is no exaggeration to say that this is a sacred tree that can enlighten the race!

  The only limitation of this thing is that it can only be trained ten times a day, that is to say, it can only increase the intelligence of one person by a maximum of ten points a day. It will take a long time to improve the intelligence of people of all races.

   But even so, this is a sacred tree with almost infinite value. It is more useful to find a way to revive it than to take wood to make a wand, of course, to preserve it.

  An ancient tree of knowledge has such a high value, and other ancient trees are probably similar. No wonder the trolls have gone to such great lengths to come to the Forest of Elves to steal the tree.

  Mu You came to the backpack space, found an open space, and tried to extract the ancient tree of knowledge.

  The result can be taken out!

  Huge trees suddenly stretched across the grass in the space.

   This is a tree person about fifteen meters high. The canopy is covered with golden-red leaves similar to maple leaves. On the branches spreading out from the head, there are two lamps representing wisdom hung with tree vines.

However, the two lights have been extinguished at this moment, which means that the tree man is dead, and a tree man's face can be vaguely seen from the dead bark trunk, with slightly parted lips and closed eyes, looking a little painful. There are also two shriveled tree-like arms sticking out.

  This ancient tree of knowledge should be the one mentioned in the previous information about the beetle that was about to die.

   It was precisely because of dying that the ancient tree lost the ability to resist and call for help, so it was cut down by the trolls. Otherwise, the ancient tree man in a healthy state is far from being able to deal with just three trolls.

  As soon as the huge tree appeared, all the animals in the space came to watch curiously.

  The mandrake is even more open-mouthed, looking at the ancient tree in front of it in disbelief: I have met a distant relative!

   It is only a smart plant in this space, and now finally there are other tree people to accompany it.

  The mandrake immediately circled around the tree man, poking at the side constantly, but unfortunately the tree man was dead and could not respond to its mischievous actions.

  Mu You tried to release the 'crazy growth' on the treant, but there was no response.

  It seems that this treant is really dead, and he can only use the elf to have a chance to be resurrected.
