Chapter 1088 In the Withered Tree of Life
"These lights..."
Qin Yichen's pupils shrank, and he recognized the body of spiritual power in the sea. His divine eyes suddenly opened, and he looked along the dim light towards the Tree of Life.
Under the gaze of his divine eyes, an area of the tree of life that was full of vitality in front of him showed a withered state. On that branch, it gave people a sense of death and desolation that was completely different from the vitality.
"The tree of life withered?"
A look of astonishment rose in Qin Yichen's eyes, and his heart was filled with shock.
The Tree of Life is said to be the source of all things. Its long existence cannot be verified. Before the emergence of the human race, the Tree of Life and the elves already existed.
"Huh?"
While Qin Yichen was astonished, the Elf Queen also noticed something strange about him, and immediately asked in surprise: "Did you notice?"
If he didn't use his divine eyes to investigate, Qin Yichen wouldn't be able to detect anything strange. The Tree of Life looked the same, and it was still full of vitality. However, under the gaze of the divine eyes, he could peek into its essence and find something strange.
place.
After seeing Qin Yichen's slight nod, the Elf Queen couldn't help but frown slightly.
In fact, there is a secret in the Tree of Life. Even the top elf clan members don’t know this secret... The Tree of Life is withering!
I don't know when it started, but the Elf King at that time discovered something strange about the Tree of Life. The entire Tree of Life was like a dam that had been broken, and the power of life was constantly draining away.
At that time, the entire Elf clan tried every means, but to no avail. In the end, it was the Elf King at that time who used forbidden magic and sacrificed himself to the Tree of Life, which finally blocked the gap.
However, even so, this is only treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The Tree of Life is still withering, although the speed is so slow that it is difficult to detect. Even, for the huge Tree of Life, this is just a drop in the bucket.
But over the endless years, the loss of the Tree of Life has caused some of its branches and leaves to wither.
If this trend continues, I am afraid that in more than 100,000 years, the ancestral tree of the elves will most likely wither completely. By then, will the elves still be able to survive safely in this area where countless foreign races are eyeing them?
, it is an extremely serious problem.
Among the elves, only the Elf King and a few ancient beings knew about this secret. At this time, a foreigner discovered this secret, and the Elf Queen couldn't help but want to kill and silence her.
Because once this matter spreads, it will bring great panic to the elves, and those foreign races who are eyeing it will most likely unite to divide the elves in one fell swoop!
Therefore, the secret of the Tree of Life must not be known to others!
"The tree of life seems to be missing something."
But at this time, Qin Yichen seemed not to feel the malice in the Elf Queen's heart. His eyes were closed tightly, and his divine eyes were scanning along the obscure light, as if he was searching for something.
The Elf Queen seemed to have noticed his strange movements. Although she wanted to suppress him among the elves, she was not in a hurry to take action now.
"There……"
Suddenly, Qin Yichen's heart trembled, as if there was a strange wave coming from somewhere. The next moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and his hands suddenly dug into the ground.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
With the strength of Qin Yichen's body, even ordinary fine iron can be easily torn apart. The clumps of yellow dust were pulled out by him as he waved his hands.
If an elf had seen such a wanton action, he would have stopped it immediately, but now, except for the elf queen, there was no one else around.
The Elf Queen had no intention of stopping him, but there seemed to be an expression of emotion on her face.
I don't know how long it took, but under the Tree of Life, a bottomless pit of about one meter, which could accommodate one person, was dug.
And Qin Yichen's figure has disappeared into it!
At this time, Qin Yichen's eyes suddenly tightened and the movements in his hands stopped.
In the cloud of yellow dust in front of him, he saw the dim light, and in that light, there seemed to be countless black spots floating.
These black spots seemed familiar to him, strange and evil, swallowing up all life!
Qin Yichen's face was solemn. These black spots were very similar to the evil things he had seen in the inheritance of the Great Sage of Conquering Demons. They even had the same origin.
"The Tree of Life is also suppressing something... From the looks of it, something happened to the seal, and it was just started to be eroded by such evil things!"
Qin Yichen's face was extremely solemn. He did not dare to dig deeper. If he encountered the prohibition, with his current strength, not only would he not be able to help, he might even bring great disaster to the elves.
"Did you find something?"
After Qin Yichen came out, the Elf Queen waved her sleeves gently, causing dust to rise, and the land returned to its original state in a moment.
"The seal is broken."
Qin Yichen pondered for a while and replied.
"He is worthy of being the leader of the human race."
The Elf Queen narrowed her eyes slightly and chuckled, but there was a chill in her eyes.
"That's probably what the Queen said before."
Qin Yichen suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the Elf Queen was slightly startled. She understood that Qin Yichen was talking about the book of life.
"I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen, could you take me to the seal gap to have a look?"
Seeing the Elf Queen's posture, Qin Yichen knew that he had guessed very well. The Book of Life must have been learned in the Tree of Life. The Elf Queen agreed to go to the Elf Palace, but it was only a second-rate choice.
He didn't know how difficult it would be to understand the Book of Life, but no matter what the result was, he just wanted to give Xiao Ling'er the best!
"Are you sure you want to go see it?"
Facing Qin Yichen's solemnity, the Elf Queen raised a faint smile on her lips and asked.
"Please allow Her Majesty the Queen."
Qin Yichen cupped his hands and replied calmly.
In his heart, he was also smiling bitterly. Didn't he know that the more he knew, the more dangerous it would be for him.
If it were a human race, it would be impossible for a foreigner to know such a secret and let him leave!
Now it was obvious that the Elf Queen wanted to keep him, or even kill him to silence him. However, he had no second choice. He had already discovered the secret.
