Under the powerful attack power of the Blazing Archer and the Poison Blade Assassin, groups of insects fell in front of the team without even the heroes taking action.
After cleaning up dozens more bugs, the team passed through a corridor.
A group of bugs appeared behind them, most of them were Zora Sandwalkers. The jointed limbs on their abdomens were holding pieces of logs or ores, and behind them there were Zora Stingers hovering in the air.
These bugs lined up and headed deep into the nest with a strong purpose.
Lu Yuan quickly understood that these bugs were probably out looking for food.
Although I don’t know if it is used to feed the female worms, but once it is done, it will be done!
"Attack!" Lu Yuan ordered directly.
When the insects saw them, these intruders, they also hissed and pounced on them.
Ten minutes later, the battle was over, and a pile of insect corpses lay on the ground.
Lu Yuan soon discovered something interesting.
He pushed aside a log that had obviously been eaten by insects, revealing a stone underneath.
The stone is interspersed with pieces of translucent olive-green gemstones.
This is...Olivine raw ore!
Lu Yuan searched for it and found five rough stones on the corpses of these insects. This was obviously not found accidentally by these insects in the wild.
It is possible that there is an olivine mine hidden nearby.
Teresa obviously also noticed Lu Yuan's discovery and walked over.
"Lord, as far as I know, the Extreme Fire Alliance does not control the peridot veins."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly. It seemed that this was a hidden mineral vein that no one had mined yet.
He suddenly felt happy. Peridot is a 3-star material and is extremely valuable. If he can occupy this mineral vein.
Then the Jueyun Territory will be able to have another stable income besides the black iron suit trade.
After conquering this ruins, he must send troops to find the mineral veins.
The team soon moved on.
"Lord, there is a battle ahead." A poison blade assassin reported to Lu Yuan.
fighting?
We have penetrated deep into the insect nest, what else is fighting with these insects?
Lu Yuan ordered everyone to be on alert and advance slowly.
Lu Yuan also heard the sound and walked hundreds of meters further, out of the scope of the building.
A scene that shocked everyone appeared in front of them.
In the center of the building in front, there is an extremely huge tree growing. The tree trunk needs to be surrounded by twenty or thirty people to reach into the sky. However, its branches and leaves cover the sky and stretch for thousands of meters, forming a canopy that covers the sky and the sun.
And around this huge ancient elf tree, little bits of life energy shine with emerald green light, just like green elves surrounding the ancient elf tree.
But on the outside, there were countless insects gathered densely.
Zora Sandwalkers and Zora Stingers are densely packed like a swarm of ants surrounding the ancient elf tree.
Looking at the big tree that covered the sky and the sun, Lu Yuan smelled an alluring aroma on the tip of his nose.
The smell seems to be absent, but it seems to go straight into the soul, tugging at people's heartstrings, making people want to get it at all costs!
Hundreds of Zora Destroyers rushed towards the big tree with their slender limbs, and their abdomens expanded rapidly. This was obviously a sign that they were about to self-destruct.
But before these tough insects could rush to the big tree, the dense branches of the ancient elf tree had turned into spears, instantly piercing through the Zola Destroyers and nailing them to the ground easily.
The twigs on the branches instantly penetrated the bodies of these insects, ending their lives.
However, a dozen Zora Destroyers still broke through the encirclement and rushed to the main trunk of the ancient elf tree.
Their deformed abdomens are inflated to the extreme.
The next moment it exploded, impacting the main trunk of the ancient elf tree with fragments of flesh and blood.
The bark in some places was torn apart by the explosion, exposing the inner branches.
The huge branches and leaves of the ancient elf tree swayed, and a little bit of life energy was absorbed from the earth.
The wounds on its branches began to heal.
And more insects continued to attack the ancient elf tree.
This is the battlefield between giant trees and beetles!!!
Lu Yuan's eyes fell on the ancient elf tree, and a line of information appeared.
【Elven Ancient Tree】
[Level: Leader lv33]
[Attack power: 80]
[Defense: 50]
[Health value: 12121/20000]
[Skill]: Ironwood Bark (★★★★★) The ancient elf tree has extremely strong defense, with physical defense increased by 50% and magic defense increased by 30%.
Energy Drain (★★★★) The Elven Ancient Tree can draw energy from the earth.
Ancient Tree Branches (★★★★) The Elven Ancient Tree can use its branches to launch violent attacks.
Golden Apple (★★★★★) The ancient elf tree can give birth to golden apples with magical power every once in a while.
The attributes of the ancient elf tree made Lu Yuan's scalp numb. It had 20,000 health points and 50 defense points.
This attribute is even more abnormal than when I encountered the Lava Snake Dragon before.
Coupled with the two skills of the ancient elf tree's ironwood bark and energy absorption, it is simply impossible to kill!
No wonder these insects gathered in such numbers to attack this ancient tree.
Lu Yuan quickly noticed that the land began to dry up and crack in an area near the roots of the ancient elven tree. This was obviously because the energy of the land was drained by the ancient elven tree.
The reason why these insects do not eat the trees in the ruins is to dilute the energy in the land.
In addition, during the attack of the ancient elf tree, Lu Yuan saw the golden fruits hanging between the leaves of the big branches.
He was extremely sure that the fragrance he smelled before came from those golden apples.
And those bugs are probably also for this thing.
Although I don’t know what effect it has yet, it must be a good thing.
On the periphery of the battlefield, Lu Yuan saw the leader of these insects.
It was a beetle more than two meters tall, standing upright. The black carapace had strange and gorgeous patterns, and the horns on its head spread out like a crown.
Behind the beetle leader, there are huge brown insect nests.
On the insect nest, there are pot-bellied insect mothers. Their five to six meter long bodies can hardly move, but their abdomens will squirm every ten minutes, and dozens of eggs will fall into the insect nest.
above.
And these insect eggs can hatch into various beetles in just half an hour.
It is precisely because of these insect nests that the beetles have a steady stream of troops to fight against the ancient elven trees.
【Beetle Lord Zora】
[Level: Leader lv30]
[Attack power: 40]
[Defense: 35]
[Health value: 5000]
[Skill]: Commanding the Insect Swarm (★★★★) Beetle Lord Zola has unparalleled control in front of the insect swarm, which can improve the ability of the insect swarm.
Earthquake (★★★) Beetle Lord Zora can cause earthquakes in a small area and slow down enemies.
Berserk (★★★) Beetle Lord Zora can enter a berserk state, increasing attack speed by 150%, damage by 30%, but reducing defense by 20.
The attributes of the Beetle Lord Zola are obviously not as good as those of the Elf Ancient Tree, but it does not rely on its own strength.
As the war continued to intensify, the attacks of those insects became even more frenzied, desperately rushing towards the ancient elf tree and launching suicidal attacks.
Due to the lack of earth energy, the ancient elf tree's recovery ability began to decline. Before some wounds on the tree trunk could recover, bugs attacked and continued to tear the wounds apart.
If this continues, the ancient elf tree is likely to be worn to death first.
