Three days passed again. Adrian, who was running wildly in the forest, suddenly stopped. He took out the map from his space bracelet and looked at it carefully. Then he waved to Sam behind him and ran quickly to the left.

go.

Sam, who has fully adapted to the life level of the red-skinned tree herder, is jumping between the big trees like a red lightning. While he is Adrian's high-altitude scout, he is also trying to keep up with Adrian's speed.

The speed of the upper mold on the tree is much faster than on the ground.

In the vast forest, it is very difficult to identify the direction, but fortunately, Adrian can easily climb to the top of the tree to observe the direction of the sun and stars, and can also hear the "voice of the wind" to some extent, and

After all, after studying for 80 years, Adrian has a fairly solid grasp of these basic skills.

Adrian stopped to check the map from time to time, determining his position and planning his route. He turned left and right in the forest, and finally found the Paget Valley clearly marked on the map.

Adrian turned around a dense low bush, and traces of civilization began to appear on the ground. A forest path paved with small stones appeared in front of Adrian. As soon as Adrian stepped onto the stone path, a sound came from the air.

A few squeaking screams.

It was Sam. Adrian looked up in shock and looked in the direction where Sam was screaming. Sam was falling from the air. He screamed and plunged into the bushes. Fortunately, Sam was still thick-skinned and the bushes were able to offset it.

Having absorbed most of the impact, Sam was fine. He was just a little dazed after the fall. After shaking his head, he pointed at a giant tree with an innocent face and complained to Adrian.

Adrian said helplessly: "How many times have I told you, Sam, you are no longer a red squirrel, you can talk."

Sam scratched his head with an embarrassed expression on his face, but it was soon replaced by a solemn look. His claws pointed back to the direction where he fell, and said:

"Sir Adrian, there is danger over there."

Adrian looked in the direction of Sam's finger and saw a giant teak tree that Adrian had only seen. Adrian could swear that he had never seen such a giant teak tree. Although it is a common tree species in the south, it is also found in the Nibelungen.

Extensive planting, but even with the superb planting techniques of the elves, such a huge teak has never been planted.

It is more than 200 meters high and the diameter of the crown is more than one kilometer. Adrian saw this teak tree from a long distance, but he did not expect that this teak tree could actually attack like a war tree man, which even caused Adrian's back.

What was chilling was that he had not discovered that this teak tree was actually alive.

The so-called activated life is the collective name given by the elves to a series of plants with active vital signs, such as war tree men. Corresponding to this is static life, which is the kind of ordinary trees and plants.

Adrian's face also became solemn. Generally speaking, activated life unconsciously emits vitality fluctuations. As a high-ranking elf in the elite class, Adrian should be able to detect vitality fluctuations from a long distance away, but he knows

At this time, Adrian did not sense the presence of activated life nearby.

Then there are only two explanations. One is that something else was ambushing nearby and attacked Sam with magic or some highly concealable skill. At the same time, this skill or magic also concealed Adrian's perception.

And it also made Sam think it was an attack from the giant teak tree.

As for the other explanation, Adrian felt it was more likely to be true. Adrian saluted to the huge teak tree and said:

"Is it the great being left behind by the ancestor of the Holy Spirit, Fenfeng Windflei, to guard the land of the Holy Spirit? Adrian Aragund, Fenfeng Windflei, would like to express his most sincere thanks and greetings to you."

Adrian's greeting was not responded to, but he kept saluting and waited. After about five or six minutes, the huge teak tree moved, and an elf-shaped creature that looked like a sapling emerged from the huge teak tree.

He walked out of the folds of his skin and said in an old voice:

"The descendants of Xiao Nanfeng are indeed as boring as him. Okay, the boys from the Nanfeng family over there don't need to salute."

Adrian withdrew his gesture of salute and greeting, went up to the sapling, and asked respectfully: "Are you the ancestor Foehn Wind Windflei's companion, the great giant tree spirit Irges?"

"My name is indeed Irges, and I am indeed Xiao Nanfeng's partner. Okay, kid, there is no need to be polite. The red tape of the upper elves is really annoying."

According to etiquette, Adrian should salute and greet him at this time, but Irges made it clear that he didn't like it. Adrian froze on the spot for a while, not knowing what to do.

Irges noticed Adrian's embarrassment, shook the branch and said: "I told you that you don't need to be polite. You should be looking for the Holy Spirit Land of Xiao Nanfeng. Go in and keep walking along the gravel path.

, but only you can go in, not this little guy with red fur."

"But, Sam is my attendant, I guarantee that he is reliable..."

"Rules are rules, isn't this what you upper elves have always insisted on?"

Adrian looked at Sam, and finally decided to leave Sam outside. After he told Sam a few words, he asked Irges:

"Can you please keep an eye on Sam for a little while? Don't worry, he is very well-behaved and will not cause trouble. But there is a group of wild elves nearby. I'm worried that they will regard Sam as a hunting target."

Irges shook the branch again and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, those wild elves don't dare to come near here after they have sacrificed their lives. As for this little guy with red fur... come here, little guy,

There are some caterpillars on my body, they are itchy, but I can’t catch them myself. If you help me catch all the caterpillars, how about I give you some rewards.”

Irges shook the branch at Adrian again, but did not talk to Adrian anymore. He just asked Sam to help him catch insects. Apparently he had agreed to Adrian's request to take care of Sam on his behalf.

Adrian didn't bother any more. After saluting Irges again, he looked at Sam, turned around and walked onto the gravel path to the interior of Paget Valley.

Adrian originally found it strange that although the Oram Mountains were located three to four hundred kilometers northwest, there were no hills nearby, so why was the Holy Spirit Land in Foehn Windflee called Paget Valley.

After walking along the gravel path, Adrian discovered that this was indeed a valley, but it was completely obscured by illusion magic or arcane magic. Adrian walked in along the gravel path, and the scenery he saw in front of him continued.

It was changing, and in the end, it was even like the test tube tunnel in the previous animation, and there was only a gravel path and a hole made of twisted light in front of me.

The gravel path leads all the way to the depths of the cave, with no end in sight.

"This is definitely not illusion magic, or even a simple illusion arcana. This is the Big Bear compound arcana." Adrian said to himself as he looked at the strange and mysterious, yet extremely magnificent and shocking scene in front of him.

Adrian was somewhat afraid of the unknown. He looked back unconsciously, only to find that the way he came had disappeared. He sighed and could only bite the bullet and continue walking forward.

…

A day and night passed. Standing on the canopy of the huge Irges tree, Sam looked in the direction of the gravel path, but did not see Adrian, with a worried look on his face.

Irges was basking in the sun with his legs crossed on another branch on his canopy. Seeing Sam's worried look, he said:

"Don't worry little one, your master will be fine."

Sam looked back at Irges and whispered worriedly: "But Abel, Sir Adrian has been in there for three days."

Abel is the nickname given by the tree herders to the war tree people. Irges, who has not had a tree herder for a long time and has not enjoyed the meticulous care of the tree herders for a long time, heard this name, his eyes were in a trance, and he seemed to be lost in memories for a while.

After a long time he said:

"Don't worry, little guy. Your Lord Adrian will be fine. After all, it is the wealth that Xiao Nanfeng left to his heirs. What can be the problem?"

Sam didn't speak anymore. He was still not used to communicating with others in Elvish. He just looked back at Irges and turned to look in the direction of the gravel path.

Irges thought for a while and said to Sam: "Okay, little guy, don't look any further. Your Lord Adrian came out when it was time to come out. Now I feel that the roots of my tree are a little itchy. It must be because you don't have it."

Catch all the caterpillars and go take a look. If you catch all the caterpillars, I will give you a reward."

Sam nodded to Irges, climbed down along Irges' trunk, and went to the roots to help Irges catch insects.

…

At this time, Adrian finally walked out of the strange space composed of the light hole and the gravel path. When he was about to leave and became numb, his eyes were in a trance again. The light hole disappeared, and the surroundings turned into a valley again.

Such a scene, the gravel path under your feet has turned into a stone paved avenue.

At the end of the flagstone avenue was a huge altar, which was made of countless huge stones and engraved with numerous complicated and exquisite patterns. Adrian took a closer look and saw that it was the wind pattern of the Foehn Windflee family.

Although the entire altar is made of huge stones, it never looks rough. Instead, it is full of a delicate and elegant beauty, just like the exquisite and magnificent Chinese ancient buildings in previous generations. It is another kind of architectural technique.

and the pinnacle of style.

Adrian walked along the flagstone avenue step by step to the bottom of the altar, and climbed up the steps step by step. The altar was empty, with nothing on it.

Adrian thought for a while, bowed to the center of the altar, and was about to turn around and leave. After all, Aragund did not explain what to do in the Holy Spirit Land, and bowing to the altar was worthy of the love flowing in his body.

Blood.

But just when Adrian took the first step, a teasing voice sounded in Adrian's ears:

"Why, my descendants, don't you want to get the wealth I left behind?"

Adrian turned around suddenly, only to see a huge blue-gold light pillar that reached into the sky and the earth standing in the center of the altar. The moment Adrian turned around, the light on the light pillar suddenly spread, and Adrian was like

I don’t know anymore.

Drowsily, Adrian only heard one sentence:
Chapter completed!
