"Climbing over that mountain range, you can enter the inner area of the ancient forest."
The old lady pointed to a tall and stretching mountain ridge in the distance. The snow on the mountain looked like a veil and hanging curtains. The wind and snow flying along the ridge formed strands, outlining the direction and shape of the airflow. Looking from a distance was refreshing, but in fact
Extremely dangerous.
Xuan Weizi can sense the invisible barrier rising from this mountain range. It is not a "force wall" or some magical barrier, but an obstacle based on the internal and external connection.
"A very special blocking method." Xuan Weizi said: "If it cannot comply with the boundary rules of the ancient forest, even if it can smash the mountains into pieces, it will still not be able to penetrate deep into the inner area."
Lord Gale also experienced this and said: "Indeed, if you cannot master the operating mechanism of the ancient forest, whether you are flying or walking, the space in front of you will continue to automatically expand and you will never be able to go deeper. And as long as you take a step back, you will immediately return to the starting point."
Seeing the smile on the old lady's lips, Xuan Weizi said: "I guess this layer of barrier was originally used to resist the invasion of strange foreign enemies, right? Each realm of the Final Battlefield will assimilate outsiders based on the nature of its own rules.
.
The Ancient Forest is no exception. It’s just that the assimilation effect in the outer area is not strong, but to enter the inner area, all life forms, even constructs or undead, must conform to the rules of the Ancient Forest to reconstruct their form.”
The old lady, the ghost woman, bowed and replied: "It is very common for humans to build fences and walls when taking care of their own gardens to prevent small animals from outside from breaking in."
Xuan Weizi sneered a few times: "How strong this fence is depends on how powerful Wang Shu himself is and how strict and reliable the rules he has established are. However, Wang Shu's understanding of natural creation has not reached the level of Morgan Merlin.
level, even if he can mobilize all the power of the entire realm to block it, this fence is still riddled with holes in front of Morgan Merlin... Anyway, there is still a way to go, let's talk about how Morgan Merlin defeated Wang Shu
of?"
The old lady is now restricted by Xuan Wei Zi, so she has no choice but to tell how Morgan Merlin captured the ancient forest.
Unlike what outsiders imagine, Morgan Merlin used extremely powerful means to kill a large number of creatures in the realm and cut down the king tree at the core of the ancient forest. No one even knows when Morgan Merlin came to the ancient forest. etc.
When everyone discovered Morgan Merlin, he had already arrived under the King Tree at the core.
This situation is similar to when Morgan Merlin appeared in the Twilight Court. The other supreme fairies did not notice the Archdruid at all. If it had not been for the reminder from the Twilight Queen, Morgan Merlin would have been able to hang out in the Twilight Court for a long time.
Based on this alone, Xuan Weizi can roughly judge the level of Wang Shu. Even though it also unfolds itself to form a vast world of dimensions, it does not have the level of insight into everything and the subtleties of Queen Twilight.
If we look at the Taoism of the Immortal Family, it means that the creation of the Lingtai has not been perfected. Moreover, the King Tree "grows" the entire ancient forest with itself as the core, while the Twilight Queen opened up the Twilight King with her earth-shaking achievements.
Ting, the specific creation is the result of the combined efforts of other supreme fairies.
So after hearing the old lady's story, Xuan Weizi roughly guessed Morgan Merlin's methods. His understanding of the creation of heaven and earth and the evolution of species is more profound than Wang Shu's, so even if Morgan Merlin walks in the ancient forest,
Wang Shu was also stunned.
When Wang Shu discovered Morgan Merlin, the Archdruid had already prepared spells in many places throughout the ancient forest. Once triggered, a magical barrier covering the entire ancient forest would immediately be formed, similar to an oak sanctuary or a giant stone circle.
Wang Shu tried to counterattack, but even the lord of the realm could not mobilize all the power of the realm at that time. This confrontation was not a face-to-face battle, but a collision of different rules, even the realm of the ancient forest
The rules were partially modified by Morgan Merlin after the battle broke out.
This situation is very bad. In the past, when the ancient forest encountered foreign enemies, it could also use the lush plants in the realm to use "tree teleportation" to gather all kinds of ferocious animals, battlefield heather, and plague takraw balls to launch a ruthless siege against the enemy.
If there are a large number of enemies, it is generally difficult to penetrate into the ancient forest in groups. At this time, you can use super giant magic trees, man-eating grass and tree man guards to conduct positional battles. The ancient forest is an endless green desert, which is enough to drag
Defeat all foreign enemies.
But the appearance of Morgan Merlin has made all the defensive measures in the ancient forest ineffective. The tree man who may have been a comrade a moment ago may smash the centaur in two with a backhand, and even the activated plants may be entangled with each other.
When they were torn apart, the entire ancient forest fell into endless conflicts with itself.
And this is only the external situation, what's more important is that the boundary rules of the ancient forest have begun to waver and collapse, which in turn has had an extremely heavy impact on Wang Shu.
At that time, the entire ancient forest was extremely chaotic. Beings like the old lady and the ghost woman felt the excitement of the turmoil in the realm at the same time in their bodies and souls. The stronger they were, the heavier they withstood the impact. As a result, there were several people in the same batch as the old lady and the ghost woman.
The born insect lord, the hydra, was unable to suppress its own internal turmoil and exploded directly to death, causing serious consequences.
Faced with this situation, the old lady, the ghost woman, made a prompt decision and led a group of personal servants to escape from the ancient forest. Leaving this realm, the turmoil within herself immediately slowed down.
Outsiders did not understand the ancient forest, and even the aberrations from the Banished Nest that took the opportunity to launch an attack were attacked indiscriminately by the realm itself.
"In other words, you don't know the specific situation when Wang Shu faced Morgan Merlin?" Xuan Weizi asked.
The old lady ghost woman replied: "We tried calling Wang Shu at that time, but unfortunately there was no response."
"What are you hiding from me?" Xuan Weizi noticed a hidden thought in the other party, moved his fingertips lightly, and the old lady immediately felt a burning pain in her joints and bones.
"I say, I say!" the old lady shouted quickly: "Actually, I also hoped that the King Tree would be destroyed at that time, because he might swallow us fruit waiters to regain his strength to fight against Morgan Merlin."
"Tsk, tsk, what kind of tree it is and what kind of fruits it bears." Xuan Weizi said.
In fact, compared to Wang Shu, the Old Madam Ghost Woman is somewhat similar to the incarnation of the Yang God. It’s just that incarnations like the Old Madam Ghost Woman are a bit special. When they land as fruits, they actually have complete and sound self-awareness, unlike the incarnations of Xuan Weizi, which are just personality profiles.
manifestation.
This means that if Wang Shu wants to take back these "fruits", he will definitely encounter resistance. This kind of resistance is not like the deity's practice and diligence to unify the incarnation, but is equivalent to swallowing up another independent existence, which is a very dangerous behavior. If we say
What's good is that after these "fruits" fall to the ground, they will gradually grow stronger. Whether it is an improvement in strength or an accumulation of knowledge, once they are recovered in the future, they will become nutrients that nourish the King Tree.
It can be said that the king tree had bad intentions when it produced these fruits. The old lady and the ghost woman obviously understood this very early, so after Morgan Merlin invaded, they immediately fled the ancient forest while the king tree could not take back these fruits.
, to protect themselves.
"And this time you lured various planes to deal with Morgan Merlin, you also hope that you can take the opportunity to take back the ancient forest and become the new generation of realm lord, right?" Xuan Weizi looked at the old lady, Granny: "And you
The plane fragment gem in your hand is the medium to control the ancient forest in the future."
The old lady lowered her head and remained silent after hearing this. Xuan Weizi could clearly feel the undercurrent of hostility in her heart, but due to the disparity in strength between the two parties, she did not dare to make any resistance.
"I'm wondering, what exactly are you planning to do?" Xuan Weizi asked: "If you distribute some of the plane fragment gems to various realms and introduce them into the ancient forest, can you guarantee that your plan will succeed?"
"Your Excellency Olanso, do I really have to say this?" The old lady, the ghost woman, stopped.
On the side, the leader of the Kagyarong clan pressed the hilt of his sword, looked at the rickety hag and asked: "At this distance, do you think it is my sword that is faster? Or your spells?"
"Hahaha, you don't have to force it." Xuan Weizi looked back at the mountains in the distance: "But have you ever thought about why at this time, the news came out that Morgan Merlin possesses an artifact that can modify the rules of the realm?"
"Is it because...you?" The old lady understood instantly: "It seems so. The Emerald Ring of the Main Material Plane was taken over by you. You came to find Morgan Merlin. You must have some important purpose... News about the artifact...
, was it released by Morgan Merlin on his own initiative? You are looking for him, and he is also looking for you?"
"Quite smart." Xuan Weizi twirled his fingers: "Actually, if you have personally experienced Morgan Merlin's seizure of the ancient forest, you should understand that he has owned the so-called artifact that changes the rules of the realm from the beginning. Otherwise, as a
How can outsiders easily defeat Wang Shu and seize control of the realm? The person who can release the news about the artifact is either someone like you who has experienced the original battle, or it is Morgan Merlin himself."
Lord Gale next to him asked: "But Morgan Merlin should always be in the ancient forest. If he can send a message to the outside world, he can come to you himself or entrust others to come to you."
"Who is Morgan Merlin?" Xuan Weizi asked.
"He is... a druid?" Lord Gale didn't understand what Xuan Weizi meant.
"Yes, the druid can't go out by himself. Isn't it normal for the animal companions to send messages?"
At this time, an extremely hazy outline appeared among the low trees, almost impossible to capture with the naked eye. Everyone else looked surprised when they saw it. Apparently, they did not realize that there was such an invisible stalker behind them.
Lord Gale took the opportunity to swing the thorn spear, and the low forest quickly came to life, and the branches entangled, binding the vague outline.
But the vague outline actually turned into a ball of five-color mist, easily escaped from the vine net, and then landed on the ground and transformed into a tall and burly man. He was wearing a simple linen robe, with fluffy blond hair, sideburns and a wide beard.
With a wide mouth and a majestic face, he looked like a big lion in human form. At this moment, he asked a little embarrassedly: "How did you find me? I think my invisibility spell is quite powerful? Don't talk about the sound and smell.
The air flow and tremors caused by movement will disappear, and neither the 'true seeing' nor the blind sense ability can detect me."
"Because you are thinking, and I am a psychic after all." Xuan Weizi stared at the tall man and said: "But you are also very powerful. It was only when we talked about Morgan Merlin that it aroused your thinking, and it was as subtle as
The ripples on the water surface disappeared in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, there was no one else here except us, so I realized that you were following me."
The tall man scratched his head: "It seems that psychic powers are quite powerful."
"He is Morgan Merlin's animal companion?" Lord Gale asked in a low voice, "Why is he a human?"
The tall man obviously heard it, and laughed heartily: "Haha! My transformation ability is not bad, right? Even the supreme goblin in the Twilight King's Court can't distinguish my life breath. Anyway, if you find it, let me
Look at my true form."
The tall man's beard spread out, his eyes widened, and green light surged around his body. He immediately transformed into a mighty lion, with golden light all over his body. He was as tall as a man when he stood on all fours. The lion's golden mane faintly pointed outwards.
A round of five-color flames bloomed, its majesty was greater than that of a human form, and its majestic aura was comparable to the power of a dragon. Seeing this, mortals felt as if they were witnessing the arrival of gods.
Fortunately, Xuan Weizi and his party are not simple characters. Upon seeing this, Lord Gale asked: "Magical beast?"
The male lion said: "Don't worry, I was born with some innate qualities of ferocious animals. My master picked me up by chance, and I was not yet weaned at that time."
This male lion looked like it could scare people to death, but his tone of voice was without any arrogance. He simply lay down on the ground and shook his mane.
"I haven't asked you for your name yet," Xuan Weizi said.
"Your Excellency? I don't like these honorifics." The lion said, "Just call me Noi."
"Did Morgan Merlin ask you to spread the news about the artifact?" Xuan Weizi asked.
Noi nodded his big head: "He is staying deep in the woods. A few days ago, he suddenly said that he had a premonition that someone was coming to find him, so he asked me to go out and spread the news. Anyway, I am the best informed about the city. Of course I am.
We went there first. I followed you all the way from Gray Gorge to here."
Xuan Weizi asked again: "Then how do you know that person is me."
"You have the smell of green oak, which is a token left by the master to the Pendragon royal family." Noy wrinkled the bridge of his nose: "I originally thought you were a descendant of Ansel, but it seems that their family has no offspring.
What a powerful person."
Xuan Weizi took out the green oak leaf and asked: "Then will you take us to find Morgan Merlin?"
Noy raised his head and gestured to the mountains in the distance: "I guess you can see that this mountain range is an obstacle. As long as you can deeply feel the mystery of all things in nature, you can walk in front of Morgan Merlin. Otherwise, even if I lead the way, you will not
There is no way to reach it... But I think you should be fine, and the Supreme Fairy will be able to do it easily too. But it's hard to say for the other two."
