The thick rock wall isolates all sounds, there is no sound of wind or water droplets.
Colin stood silently in front of the majestic ancient tree without making any movement.
A sharp branch was suspended behind his back, but it did not touch him with its tip, but just curled softly around his waist.
However, even so, Colin did not dare to make any changes.
Whisper.
The suspended branches behind him moved forward unconsciously.
Colin tensed his muscles and took a step forward, almost reaching the foot of the ancient tree, only about one meter away from the deformed slender trunk at the bottom.
Just now, he "took the initiative" to walk to this deformed ancient tree step by step.
"Shutel..." Colin thought silently. He looked down at the armor on his body and didn't know whether he should be grateful...
Moving his eyes upward, the deformed lower part of the ancient tree clearly appeared in front of him... It was not so much the lower part of the trunk of the tree as it was a long tree tumor.
The tree tumor is roughly an ellipsoid six to seven meters long and two meters in diameter. Although it is an ellipsoid, it is actually very irregular. Large and small bulges with dark red dots bulge like malignant tumors and are densely packed.
Covered the entire area.
Colin just stared at it for a moment, then suddenly felt dizzy and quickly moved his gaze up to a higher place.
This is the top of the long tree burl. Here, the diameter of the tree trunk suddenly expands to nearly ten meters, and the appearance returns to normal. The two are connected together like this, looking uncoordinated and awkward.
However, such a top-heavy appearance unexpectedly does not give people the feeling of being shaky. Instead, it makes people feel that this is how it should be, and that the trunk of the tree trunk connected to the ground below is a more stable existence!
"strangeness……"
"It's strange, it's obviously not time yet, why did the flower elf come here now?"
At this time, the ancient tree beside him spoke again.
A huge fuzzy human face emerged from the middle of the thick brown tree trunk, looking at the elf Naxi sleeping among the flowers in front of her and muttering softly.
"Why...why..."
This doubt seemed to bother him greatly, and he kept mumbling repeatedly, and his tone gradually became confused and crazy.
"Why...why on earth?!"
The strange whisper made Colin suddenly feel as if a long-handled spoon had been inserted into his head, stirring constantly, making him groan involuntarily, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.
I don't know if it was because he noticed Colin's muffled hum, but the ancient tree's murmuring stopped suddenly.
The huge human face was like a swimming fish. It moved down from the middle of the tree trunk, and stopped when it reached the edge of the normal trunk and tree burrs. It seemed that it could no longer move forward, so it stared down at Colin.
"Shutel...I almost forgot about you, Shuter." Human Face said to himself,
Then he continued with a somewhat surprised tone: "The reason why the flower elf came here a few years in advance is probably to bring you here, am I right?"
Colin lowered his head and remained silent, partly because he didn't know how to answer, and partly because although he could understand the strange words of the ancient tree, he didn't know how to say them.
However, is Naxi actually the legendary flower elf?
Seeing that he did not answer and his face was not annoyed, he moved back to the middle again, continued to look at Naxi and said to himself:
"Now that we're all back, let's change our bodies again so that we can continue to sleep without having to worry about being woken up in the middle...so sleepy."
While talking, it yawned vividly. Although the specific expression could not be seen clearly, it showed a sense of fatigue.
Then, the huge human face frowned, and the brown branches like thorn rings in the middle suddenly became as soft and flexible as tentacles.
Then, a shocking amount of emerald green light enveloped Naxi, covering the entire central area, and blocking Colin's sight.
Just by feeling these auras, Colin's original idea of a head-on confrontation disappeared completely.
But in fact, Colin didn't have time to look carefully... The shadowy branch behind him began to move forward unconsciously after the ancient tree started to be busy, and it was almost forcing him to stick to the tree burr!
"Anilase!" he suddenly shouted loudly.
Swish.
The green aura above his head suddenly disappeared, and the human face instantly appeared in front of Colin.
"Are you Shutel?" Before Colin could speak, it suddenly asked.
Colin was shocked, almost thinking that the ancient tree had noticed something strange.
But the next second, the ancient tree continued to speak, asking one after another:
"Shutel, where are your fellow high elves? And where are the rebellious tree elves? Have they all been wiped out by 'me'?"
Colin lowered his head slightly and continued to remain silent, but his heart was full of doubts...
"I...Is there something wrong with my memory, or something else? If I destroyed it myself, why do I need to ask others?"
On the other side, his silence made Gu Shu seem to understand something.
"Are you the only one..." The huge human face murmured, feeling a little lonely.
It closed its mouth and rose slowly.
Colin took the opportunity to look up at Naxi lying among the flowers.
Due to the viewing angle, he could only see a dark outline through the thin petals...
But, changing the body?
From this point of view, if this incident has happened many times in the past years, then Naxi's life should at least not be in danger.
But... can Naxi, who has changed her body, still retain her current memory?
Or is it Naxi?
Thinking of this, Colin's heart couldn't help but sink.
"Shuter, I'm tired, let's sleep for a while.
During this period, you will take over the work of the flower elf, whether you go to the tree elf traitor or stay here. In short, observe the elf country for me and let me know if there is anything unusual."
But to Colin's surprise, the huge human face did not continue its previous action after rising up, but chose to sink into the tree trunk... It seemed that because of his interruption, it finally couldn't bear the sleepiness and chose
fell asleep.
However, although the face disappeared, the voice continued to sound.
"By the way, the wind of Amys will come again in a few days. Stay away from me, stay away from those winds, and don't let yourself be contaminated by those stinking dirt!
You are not a flower elf, and your spirituality is not half as strong as hers... What's more, there are no more bodies for you to replace, and I can't bear fruit..."
The loud but strange voice gradually became lowered, and silence returned to the cave.
The branch that was wrapped around the back like a gangrene also quietly hung down.
But Colin was not at all happy.
He rolled up his left sleeve, and at some point, a clear golden tree-shaped pattern appeared quietly above his wrist.
Rolling down his sleeves, Colin looked up at the flower above his head that held Naxi.
The pale golden flower has closed, tightly wrapping the elf in it.
Unlike other branches with buds, this branch carrying Naxi is the only one that has not been retracted and attached to the trunk.
Not only was it not retracted, but it was also deliberately stretched away from the trunk of the ancient tree...it seemed to be guarding against something.
Colin looked back thoughtfully.
After a while, he returned to the original path, passed through the phantom wall, and returned to the original palace.
boom!!
After stepping across the phantom, Colin tentatively shot a fireball towards the ground, and a violent explosion resounded through the sky.
Whoosh, he stepped over the phantom again.
In the grotto, the tall ancient trees were silent and motionless.
"Sure enough... for some unknown reason, this ancient tree cannot detect itself, or in other words, prevents itself from seeing or hearing any movement from the outside world."
Colin understood in his heart, and returned to the palace again, glanced at the emerald green throne in front of him, then sat cross-legged next to it and closed his eyes.
While the Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment helped him understand the ancient tree's words, another thing in his mind suddenly became understandable -
Those are the weird classics memorized in the tallest and majestic stone tree under the blue sky!
