Chapter 60 The Ring of Doom, Information on the Ancient Elf Tree
"Hiss——"
Following the death of Beetle Lord Zola, the insects that were still charging suddenly hissed in panic.
The Zora Sandwalker dug directly into the earth and drilled into the hole.
Zola Stinger, on the other hand, flew high into the sky.
In just a moment, those insects escaped completely.
Only a few huge insect mothers were left lying on the insect nest. They also wanted to escape, but they couldn't crawl at all.
Moreover, due to lack of energy, it cannot even continue to lay eggs.
All I could do was buzz and scream in panic.
Lu Yuan let out a long breath and told the troops to give up the pursuit.
Although this beetle army was eliminated this time, his losses were not small.
The Wolf Knights lost seven, the Sword Dancers lost four, the Poison Blade Assassins lost two, and the Fire Archers lost three.
It can be said to be an unprecedented loss.
Lu Yuan glanced at the towering ancient tree in the distance and ordered the troops to recover, while the hunters began to clean up the battlefield.
The Ancient Elf Tree is a level 33 boss, not to mention the golden apples on it, even if it only decomposes materials.
Those high-grade woods are also a big bonus!
Moreover, this tree will not move. After being damaged by those insects, there are not many branches left.
I guess I can defeat it standing up with the Blazing Archer.
After all, the attack range of the Blazing Archers is much further than that of the Zora Stingers.
Thinking of this, his mood improved again.
He first walked to the Beetle Lord Zola and picked up two things.
A dark purple ring with eye-like gems inlaid on it, very strange.
And an ancient scroll.
【Ring of Doom】
[A ring tainted with an unknown aura, you still have no way of knowing its purpose.]
It turned out to be a piece of debris. Lu Yuan immediately frowned. A lord of your size can't even use the equipment. He deserves to be thrown into the street!
But when Lu Yuan saw another scroll, his mood suddenly improved.
[Zora Impaler Barracks Architectural Drawings]
【Level:★★】
【Enables you to build a production building.】
[Consumables, which can be used to build the Zora Impaler's barracks, require resources: wood: 3000, stone: 3500, iron ore: 4000.]
Those flying bugs have good skills and attributes, but they are excellent long-range flying units.
Although I can't use it myself, I can sell at least three or four thousand soul crystals on the market.
Thirty minutes later, the soldiers were almost recovered.
However, because there were so many bugs, the hunters only cleared half of them.
There is no equipment dropped from these insects. Apart from the soul crystals, there is only some insect meat and chitin carapace.
Lu Yuan picked up a chitin carapace and touched it. These carapaces felt smooth, cold, and very hard.
These two-star materials are good materials for making equipment, but they require special blueprints.
And those hunters also took care of the immobile insect mothers by the way.
Lu Yuan was led by a hunter to the insect nest.
These big bugs didn't drop anything good, but except for a few unhatched eggs in the nest, Lu Yuan did find something.
Lu Yuan picked up an irregular crystal.
【Insect Nest Crystal】
【Level:★★】
[Crystals formed by many unhatched larvae in the insect nest, after use, the health value will increase by 20%, lasting for 30 minutes.]
This is actually a good combat power-up item.
In addition, those insect nests are also three-star materials, which will be collected later.
Although these gains are not satisfactory, there is still a boss with residual health in front of me.
Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the towering tree not far away.
The soldiers also stood up one after another, grasped their weapons, and were ready to fight.
But before Lu Yuan could give the order to attack, the ancient elf tree spoke.
On its mottled bark, simple facial features emerged, and the ancient tree slowly opened its mouth.
"Human, I smell the breath of life on you!" The voice of the ancient elf tree buzzed.
Lu Yuan was stunned, this didn't seem to be the time for a fight.
On the battlefield of all races, although most monsters are cruel and ferocious, they will attack some intruders.
But there are also neutral units.
For example, the ancient elf tree lost its original belonging due to the destruction of its territory and the death of its lord.
Such creatures can communicate.
Although I don’t know what level of territory this elf ruins originally belonged to, but to be able to give birth to an ancient elf tree with such terrifying strength, this territory is definitely extraordinary.
You can imagine the treasures hidden in it!
And this ancient elf tree would smell a familiar scent on itself, Lu Yuan quickly figured it out.
It should be the life seed obtained before.
Lu Yuan immediately decided to communicate with it to get out some information.
As for how to deal with this big tree later, let’s talk about it later!
"To tell you the truth, I have indeed received the inheritance of the elves, and I have some connections with this ruins. It is precisely because of this that I came here." Lu Yuan said without blushing and without a beating heart.
"Lord, when did you get the inheritance from the elves? Why didn't Xiao Guo know about it!?" Zhuge Guo couldn't help but open his eyes and asked curiously.
Lu Yuan gently patted her little head to stop her from speaking.
Fortunately, her voice was not loud and the ancient elf tree did not hear her clearly.
"I didn't expect that after sleeping for thousands of years, I would meet the inheritor of the elves." The branches of the ancient elven tree swayed, making a rustling sound, and seemed very happy.
"Thank you for saving me from those filthy bugs!"
"That's not necessary. I want to know information about this ruins. What do you know?" Lu Yuan asked.
The branches of the ancient elf tree swayed, and those old eyes seemed to be lost in memories.
"I have been sleeping for too long, and my past has become blurry."
"This place once belonged to a powerful lord of the Silver Leaf Family. She was so young and had powerful talents. Her reputation was enough to intimidate the entire region."
"But my great lord went out to explore a secret realm and never returned."
"Although this elven city is still powerful and intimidates the surrounding lords, due to a terrible demonic wave, the outer reaches of the city fell."
"And those dirty undead and orcs joined forces to spread the flames of war throughout this city."
"I was also affected by the flames of war and fell into a deep sleep."
"Until recently, those bugs discovered me."
There was a lot of information in the ancient elf tree's words, but there was very little that Lu Yuan could use.
After thousands of years of changes, some forces have changed several times, and may have disappeared in the long river of history, and their traces cannot be found.
"What a sad story. I hate those undead and orcs as much as you do. To be honest, my territory is also being invaded by those dirty orcs, so I came here to find a solution. Maybe you know
Where is the treasure hidden here?”
Lu Yuan looked like he was gritting his teeth, as if he really had a deep hatred for those orcs.
If the lion-man Kellogg were here, I'm afraid he would start yelling. You're the only one who bullied me. You're still pretending to be pitiful. It's totally unreasonable!
