Heavenly Dao Formula

Passing through the center of the town and a long and narrow dark tunnel, a huge underground cavern appeared in front of Tural.

"You two, this is the core central area." Captain Filmin introduced.

"Oh, that's not bad." The Lord smacked his lips.

What he was talking about was of course the tree——in the center of the cave, a huge tree with a width of one hundred feet* stood impressively in the field of vision. It only has trunks and branches, not a single leaf. At the same time, its growth posture is quite strange. There are many tumors on the roots of the lower part, and they are densely pasted together and spread out around, like evenly spread hair. On the top of it, many branches branched out, supporting the dome of the cave. This makes the spirit tree look like a pillar of the sky standing in the hole. Whether it is above or below, it is a part of the root veins, but the shape is different.

On the top of the cave, there is an equally open patio, and the light shines in from above, making the interior not look so dark.

"Do all spirit trees look like this?" Tural asked curiously.

"I haven't been on a few tree boats, but when I was on World Island, I heard that someone has seen a crystal-like spiritual tree." The captain sighed, "At that time, it seemed that General Long was attracted to it. "

"Such a large piece of crystal? Damn it... that scene must be unforgettable."

"What you're talking about is just appearance." Song Xing said suddenly, "Elves can change the appearance of the spirit tree, making it brighter or more colorful. But doing so has no practical significance, similar to birds picking up It’s like decorating your nest with colorful feathers.”

"You mean, they didn't forget to make their lair more beautiful when they were living and dying?" Ferlin curled his lips.

"No, let me correct it, it still has some practical significance." Song Xing glanced at him, "At least it can attract a lot of fools to watch and rob, and buy time for other tree boats to escape. Look... even the fleet commander Officers are no exception.”

The captain's face became a little stiff for a moment.

"Hahaha," Tural laughed a few times, "Okay, all mages are freaks." Mr. Carter, don't you understand by now? "

"That's just the prejudice of the ignorant." Song Xing said disapprovingly, "Everything has the simplest truth, but some people like to use their intuition to blind their eyes."

"Since you understand everything, can you bring the tree boat back to Siristi for me?"

"Of course not." The mage sighed, she didn't like to talk nonsense, "My lord also knows that every tree boat has an elder, and only the elder can communicate with the spirit tree. And I have nothing to do with the elves."

"It really is a freak." Tural shrugged and didn't bother to joke anymore, "Mr. Captain, did the elder catch it?"

"My lord, he's there." Feryn Carter pouted towards a branch next to the tree.

I saw a dead elf hanging above it. Judging from his gorgeous robes, he was undoubtedly a high-ranking islander.

"He was already like this when we got here."

Obviously the elder was unwilling to serve the empire and chose to commit suicide.

"Tsk." Tural spat, "Miss Mage, what should I do now?"

"Just re-elect an elder." Song Xing pointed to the resisters on the side of the center who were under guard by soldiers. , they call it promotion, and usually hold a celebration to witness the birth of a new elder, but according to our research, this has nothing to do with the connection itself, it just needs the cooperation of the elves."

"Then it will be troublesome." The captain said with a headache. "My men took dozens of dead to take this place. I'm afraid it's impossible for them to cooperate."

"Not necessarily, sometimes death is not the scariest thing." The mage said coldly, "They also have families and children, and these are flaws that cannot be ignored. Let me remind you that not all islanders are slaves. Value, the awakening rate of elves is indeed not low, but there are still quite a few people who only inherit their appearance, but have no magic power themselves. I don’t need to say more about the rest, right?”

"Now I understand why so many lords like to recruit a mage as a consultant." Tural clapped his hands, "Mr. Captain, did you hear Miss Song Xing's words? Bring all the prisoners caught nearby Bar."

...

"Hush..." Zhuo Fulan tightly covered her younger brother's mouth, held her breath and looked at the faintly projected firelight above her head.

"I've searched here, but there is no one. What about you?"

"I didn't find it either!"

"Then close the team, it's so late, if you don't go back, the meat porridge will probably be taken away by others."

Among the criss-crossing roots, she could see torched enemies trotting across the docks.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps disappeared that she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But what followed immediately was great grief and despair.

Under the cover of her family, she and her younger brother escaped, but where could they escape? There was a dark and cold sea under her feet, and without a boat, she couldn't last a night at all.

Relying on the roots and vines of the tree boat as cover, hiding in this bottom near the water? Not to mention how to solve food and clothing, a storm at sea can make no grass grow here.

She was undoubtedly in deep jeopardy.

"Sister...I'm hungry..." Brother Zhuoka shook her sleeve and said.

This time should have been dinner time.

"Be patient, my sister is also hungry."

"Hmm..." Zhuoka was only quiet for a while, and then asked, "How long will I have to endure it?"

Zhuo Fulan felt her eye sockets blur instantly.

She bit her lip hard to keep herself from sobbing. Yes, I have to endure...but this patience has no end.

She couldn't help turning her eyes to the sea below her.

If you jump down, maybe you don't have to think about the answer.

Even if it is painful, it is short-lived.

Zhuo Fulan took a deep breath, and let go of her younger brother, "You... sit still."

"sister?"

She didn't answer, her eyes stared at the lightless sea, the bottomless darkness seemed to swallow her little by little——

Then something emerged from the abyss.

Emerge?

Just as this thought flashed through, the sea surface suddenly bulged upwards, and a large number of water bubbles gushed out!

Is this a sea beast, or something evil? Jovelan grabbed her brother and held him back, so terrified that she forgot to scream.

As the waves receded, a shuttle made of green skeletons surfaced, and several tentacles stretched out, entangled with the roots of the tree boat.

Zhuo Fulan couldn't help being stunned.

Isn't this a green shuttle——

Why is it here?

The anti-wave board was lifted, and two wet people crawled out of it.

"Ahem... it seems to be quite lucky," one of them coughed and said, "the enemy doesn't seem to... cough... notice us."

"With the cover of night, it's no wonder they can find out. What I'm most worried about is that you will be choked to death in the sea halfway."

"It's just a few tens of breaths, don't be too small—look—" He froze suddenly in the middle of speaking, and his tone trembled suddenly, "Back, back, back, back..."

The other turned his head sharply, and at the same time pulled out the dagger from his waist.

The four elves stared wide-eyed for a while, and the only sound left on the scene was the roar of the sea.
