Chapter 179 The City of Ancient Trees - Teramis (3)
Time was lost without realizing it, and half a month had passed since the teleportation error fell into the Denzel Forest. During this period, Chen Kai and the others first moved in the dark forest, but now they were moving on the slightly bright forest road.
Compared with the previous movement speed in the extremely dark forest, Chen Kai and the others are now moving much faster, because the movement distances of the previous five or six days were not as far away as they moved on the forest road for three days later. After all, in the environment of deep and shallow in the forest, the distances of Chen Kai and the others relying on their legs to move are quite limited. Although they always encounter various troubles on this road, the actual movement speed is much faster.
After all, Chen Kai and the others use two legs in the forest environment, and now unless the road conditions are too bad, they basically have four legs. No matter how fast the two legs run, they cannot compare with four legs. It is not only because the number of legs increases, but more importantly, the endurance that the horses Chen Kai and the others ride are for rushing is definitely much better than that of humans themselves.
However, as time goes by, Chen Kai and the others are gradually worried, because they find that they seem to be heading for death. Yes! This idea is flashing in everyone's heart, because ahead of them is the destructive elf accompanying the Duramis, an elves ancient city dominated by the fallen demon.
During these days, Chen Kai and the others would take out the map almost every day to study it, wanting to see if they could bypass Teramis and go directly to the Elf Empire, but there was nothing unexpected. Of course, it was not to say that there was nothing at all. As long as they were willing to detour about three or four hundred kilometers through the dangerous forest area, they could bypass Teramis.
Whether to continue to move forward into the dangerous Teramis, or choose to detour three or four hundred kilometers and travel through the dangerous forest to the Elf Empire is a dilemma. Because both the former and the latter are very dangerous, no one can be sure that there is no monster in the detoured forest that is more terrifying than the polluted ones. Everyone is sure that there must be some kind of existence in Teramis. Everyone has no idea that there is a certain danger in Teramis. Everyone has no idea that even the known danger is Tyramis Chen Kai and others have no idea. Because there are not many descriptions of the danger in Teramis in Sher's diary, and it can even be said that there are very few. Because Sher and others did not take the initiative to touch Teramis themselves but were forcibly brought in by the polluted ones. In the end, only a few people escaped and Chen Kai and the others found the bodies of the two people. One turned into a zombie, that is, Scher, and the other turned into a skeleton soldier.
In the end, Chen Kai and the others chose to follow the road after careful consideration. Even if Teramis was very dangerous, it was their arrival in Teramis. Of course, the person who finally confirmed this road was not Chen Kai or Xu Fei, but Nero Elu. After the power gradually recovered, the legendary spellcaster was gradually regaining his past power, even Barthley, a hundred-year-old old loli. When their power declined, the elf mage was worse than ordinary people, but when their power gradually recovered, they were legendary spellcasters.
Of course, these elf mages looked much better at Chen Kai and the others than others. If Chen Kai had not risked his life to move the demigod corpses back for them, it might have taken a long time for Nero Elu and others to restore their strength. So in fact, Nero Elu and others were very grateful to Chen Kai and the others. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have asked Count Shipning to complete such a transaction in the fortress. However, all elf mages were very persistent in this matter, because they really wanted to see what the accompanying the elf empire looked like thousands of years ago, and at the same time they hoped to find some lost classics from the elves from Teramis.
So at the insistence of Nero Elu, Chen Kai and the others continued to move forward on the road. And they were getting closer and closer to the center of Denzel Forest, which is the location of Teramis. As the accompanying capital of the Elf Empire, Teramis has the name of the ancient tree city in the history of the Elf, because it is located in the center of a huge primeval forest. The closer to the center of a forest, the higher the age of the forest will be. Almost all the places where Teramis are located are ancient trees over a thousand years or even more than thousands. Therefore, when When Chen Kai and his friends were walking on the road, the diameters of the trees around him became thicker and thicker. The trees around Rusenzhual were about one meter in diameter, but now the thinnest trees around Chen Kai and his friends were two meters in diameter. The thick tree poles pierced from the ground like towering giant hands, and the height of these trees was also quite terrifying. The trees were only more than 30 meters high when Chen Kai and his friends first fell, but now the shortest tree around is nearly fifty meters high.
The huge tree body has a lifespan of more than a thousand years. The emergence of these thousand-year-old ancient trees also shows one thing that is that Teramis is not far from Chen Kai and the others. However, before that, Chen Kai and the others did something to destroy the environment. That was to cut off several thousand-year-old old oak trees and obtained Ilian three oak hearts with thousands of years of precipitation. With these three oak hearts, Ilian can summon the oak giant. But he didn't know whether these oak hearts that looked a little too green can summon the oak giant, nor did he know what the consequences of summoning the oak giant in the Denzel Forest. After all, this forest suppresses natural spells very strongly, and the oak giant undoubtedly belongs to natural spells.
At the same time, if you use Oak Giant, then Ilian's current magic power will not be able to support Oak Giant's battle for too long. Because most of his magic power is now supplying a growing field seed. When this seed grows up, he can enter the legendary realm that he never dared to imagine in the past. However, the final outcome of his approach of using external forces to improve his strength is to kill a low-level legendary wizard in this life, and he will never be able to bring the crown of the great magician that should be a legendary spellcaster.
However, it is already very lucky for Ilian to be a legendary wizard. Even if he cannot obtain the title of Great Magician that matches the legendary spellcaster, he doesn't think it's much related to it. It's just that because of the problem of obtaining the domain seed, he needs to spend a lot of magic to cultivate it, which reduces his combat power in disguise. In this case, Ilian has no other way except to be depressed.
This is a common situation for several elves mages, but as time goes by, the magic they can use is gradually increasing, but for Ilian, it is a bit different. Because he is not a legendary mage, as time goes by, the less magic he can use as the seed grows. On the contrary, other elves mages use fragments of the realm world to restore their original realm. Although their power is very low at the beginning, their disappearing power will come back as the realm gradually recovers. Therefore, they are becoming stronger and stronger as time goes by.
But at present, the strength of several elf mages is almost the same as that of the low-level great mages. They are slightly worse than Ilian. However, all natural spellcasters in the Denzel Forest have decreased due to the restraint power, so Ilian's strength has been reduced to the same level as other elf mages.
But even so, the elf mages felt that relying on their own strength should ensure that everyone could pass through Teramis safely, so when Nero Elu proposed to give up the detour through Teramis, no elf mage opposed it except Chen Kai and others.
As time goes by, Chen Kai and the others have already felt that the trees around them are getting older and older. When the long forest passage suddenly lit up, Chen Kai and the others have found themselves walking out of the forest road. The horses that everyone sat down stepped on a black land, and the setting sun gradually shone on the forest-covered city is standing in front of Chen Kai and the others.
Under the burning sunset like flames, the city is full of vicissitudes of time. It also gives people an extremely dangerous feeling. It seems that a prehistoric beast is ready to swallow everything that enters the city at any time, while the remains of three huge ancient trees of life in the distance make the entire city full of desolation. As the ancient tree of life second only to the world tree, each ancient tree of life is hundreds of meters high, and the whole body is filled with a rich breath of life and nature. However, Chen Kai and the others only feel the corruption of death. Although the sunset has not disappeared, Chen Kai and the others still feel the gust of cold wind drilling into their bodies.
"I think we should go back first and wait for dawn before entering the city!" Chen Kai said after breathing out. Although he felt that this was his own illusion, he really saw that his breath turned into white mist and this would only appear when the surrounding temperature dropped below ten degrees.
"That boss! We can't seem to retreat!" Fei Yun looked behind him, but suddenly found that the place where it was supposed to be a road was being covered by the forest, and the swaying sound of the rustling branches echoed in everyone's ears like a sneer.
"Damn it! Did this forest deliberately let us come here?" Chen Kai bit it tightly, and there was no doubt that it would be even worse if he retreated into the forest at this moment. If it was really what Chen Kai said, then there would definitely be other things in the forest waiting for Chen Kai and the others.
"What should I do now? Lord Nero Elu?" Chen Kai asked the elf mage. Even the elf mage was a little inadequate to this situation, so she didn't react for a long time after Chen Kai finished speaking. But in the end, she finally came to her senses a little and quickly raised her fingers and pointed in one direction.
"Go to the Temple of Nature! Hurry! Go in before the sun sets!" After Nero Elu's voice fell, the message gave everyone a natural speed. Then he rushed towards the direction of the Temple of Nature. Because she knew that according to the current situation, once the sky was completely dark, the city would become more dangerous. Now Nero Elu no longer had the original idea that as long as she and the elves were there, they could enter Teramis calmly.
Reality is like a giant hammer that instantly shatters the delusions in the minds of all the elves. Unless they completely restore all their strength now, there is absolutely no way to deal with the next situation. Therefore, finding a shelter has become the most important thing, and there is only one place that can be called a shelter in the entire Teramis, that is, the Temple of Nature. The situation of Ruthen Zoral's temple made Nero Elu seize a trace of life. If the breath of the goddess of nature can be restored to the temple of Teramis, then they can spend this night safely.
But the problem is that it is less than half an hour before the sun sets. Chen Kai and his team want to run to the Natural Temple unless they run at all their might, it is impossible to enter the city within half an hour, let alone to the Natural Temple in the middle of the city. So they have to speed up, and the dwarves are very depressed about this, because they have no experience in controlling the horse to run wildly.
Fortunately, under the control of Lar, the dwarves only had to hold their war horses tightly and prevent themselves from being pushed off the horse's back. When Nero Elu rushed out, Chen Kai still had some doubts about this, but he still chased after him. Everyone rode the war horses and ran wildly in this place where visitors had not visited outside the forest for a long time. He rushed towards the ancient Teramis Natural Temple.
The horse's hooves with metal iron hooves fell heavily on the ground. The dark-brown ground was stepped on by the horse's hooves, and a large piece of dust appeared. In less than five minutes, Chen Kai and the others had already rushed towards the city of Teramis for thousands of meters. If they were placed in a truly flat place, then at least several kilometers could be rushed out at this time. Unfortunately, there are crooked roots everywhere in this ancient tree city, especially the collapsed ancient trees that almost destroyed many streets of the city. Although Nero Elu knew the direction of the Natural Temple, she underestimated the complexity of the road. After all, this was the capital of the Elf Empire thousands of years ago. Even if the capital of the Elf Empire has almost not changed much, as the capital, there must be some places that will be different from the country.
These different places have become deadly things now. They must rush into the temple of nature before the sun sets. However, they are constantly decelerating due to unfamiliar roads. The most important thing is that this city is very huge. As a companion of the Elf Empire, it was a huge city with millions of people even in the last year. However, more than 40% of the city's area is located in the woods, and even after a thousand years, the most green forest is seen from the sky.
Of course, the most central city outline is still there, but there are not many walls in this city, because for the elves, the entire forest is their wall. As long as the ancient tree of life is still there, they can mobilize all the power in the forest to block the invaders. Unfortunately, the demon master then tore open the space and descend into the city. Therefore, the three ancient trees of life have no time to mobilize the power of the entire forest and have to enter a state of war with the demon master, so the preservation of the outer periphery of the city is still very complete. But the situation becomes worse the inside of the city.
However, Chen Kai and the others are still circling the city outside. Although the periphery of the city is well preserved, it cannot be said that it has not been destroyed at all. The harm caused by the invasion of the demon master is absolutely terrible. The pulled-up ancient tree was thrown out from the center of the city thousands of meters away and fell on the periphery of the city, and then became an obstacle to stop everyone from moving forward. In order to bypass this giant tree that fell nearly ten meters thick and hundreds of meters long on the ground, Chen Kai and the others need to spend three or four minutes around the two streets to pass, and there should be many such situations in the city.
But even if there are many special circumstances, Chen Kai and the others have to move forward. When they rushed into the city, they could only walk one way to the dark. Now they can only follow Nero Elu and continue to move forward. As for whether they can reach the Temple of Nature before dark, everyone can no longer have much hope when they see only half of the sun exposed above the horizon.
Looking at the sun gradually disappearing on the horizon, everyone already felt a chill wandering around their bodies. The sacred protection and curse of protection that had been blessed before entering the city have been completely activated at this moment, but it is precisely because of this that everyone's mood has become even worse. Because the activation of spell protection can only show one problem, that is, they are now under attack of some kind of force. Seeing this situation, they can only pray that the sacred protection on their bodies is strong enough and that the curse protection on their bodies can be more powerful, but the mood of everyone in the natural temple almost far away in the sky is dark.
But at this moment, a very small temple appeared in everyone's sight. Of course, perhaps Nero Elu didn't notice it at this moment, but Chen Kai saw it. He whistled at Lar without hesitation, and then with the neighing of war horses, all the horses turned around and rushed towards the small temple not far away.
"Go in!" When Chen Kai arrived at the entrance of the temple, he directly took the war horse in. There was no doubt that this temple was very small because it must be just an affiliated temple or a church for residents to pray for outside the city. Under the erosion of time, the whole house was a little dark, but no matter what, it was also a temple.
