Chapter 1127 The Mature World Tree (Two in One, please subscribe!!!)

Therefore, the Dragon King and the hybrids’ sensitivity to elements are not at the same level at all.

"After passing through the elemental barrier, Lao Tang and I successfully entered the Nibelungen. To be honest, the scale of the Nibelungen was much smaller than I imagined." Xia Mi said, "I originally thought that the Nibelungen of the King of Sky and Wind would be something huge."

"Is it very small? That Nibelungen?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused, because in Chu Tianjiao's description, the edge of Nibelungen seemed to be very far away.

"The size of a Nibelungen does not depend on its visual size, but on the actual scale and strength of its main body." Xia Mi said, "For example, my Nibelungen looks big enough, right? The intricate underground railways and mountain-like rock walls, but in fact, many of them are useless spaces, and the construction of my Nibelungen basically has no technical content compared to other people's Nibelungen."

"What about Odin's Nibelung?" Chu Zihang asked, referring to the Nibelung that covered the city.

"This new Nibelungen seems to be very large, exceeding the scope of a city, but in fact it is also very empty." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "There are many densely packed buildings, but they have no practical significance. Just like my ability can control the earth element and force, so it is very convenient to open up a vast underground space, and Odin's ability can distort reality, so it is also convenient for him to replicate a large area of ​​buildings. This is all opportunistic. In fact, the Nibelungen in this city is large and empty, and extremely unstable. To put it bluntly, it is a defective product."

"What about Old Tang's Nibelungen?" Lu Mingfei looked at Old Tang, because he had been to that bronze city and the shock it brought to him at that time still left a deep impression on him.

"Although I don't want to admit it, this guy's Nibelungen is indeed the most powerful among us." Xia Mi sighed and glanced at Lao Tang. "His Nibelungen, the Bronze City, is both large and powerful. The Nibelungen of the Sky and Wind King and I is far inferior to the Bronze City. Do you know why?"

"Is it because of the difference in alchemy levels?" Chu Zihang put forward his own guess, "I heard from the vice-president and others that the legendary country of the dead, Nibelungen, is the ultimate holy land pursued by all alchemists. There is a fifth type of element that does not exist in the real world. Since Nibelungen was created by the Dragon King and the foundation of the Seven Structures is based on alchemy, then the scale and strength of Nibelungen should be related to the alchemy level of the owner of Nibelungen."

"So smart!" Xia Mi praised Chu Zihang without hesitation, "Your analysis is completely correct. Norton and Constantine control the element of fire. Their alchemy level is recognized as the strongest among us. Except for the two ancient emperors, the Bronze City is the pinnacle of all the Nibelungs. It's just that Norton was not here at the time, and Constantine hadn't awakened yet. The Bronze City you saw didn't even exert one tenth of its original power."

"I see." Lu Mingfei glanced at Lao Tang, patted his chest and said with some fear, "I thought my brother and I were well prepared. Fortunately, Lao Tang was not a bad guy, otherwise we would have been killed no matter how well prepared we were."

"What do you think? Who do you think the Dragon King is? Moreover, the Dragon King is in his own territory. In your words, the buff is completely full." Xia Mi said to Lu Mingfei, "So you know how crazy it is for Lao Tang and I to trespass into Nibelungen, the king of sky and wind, right?"

“So you, junior sisters, care so much about us that you’re willing to risk your lives. I’m really touched.” Lu Mingfei said with sincerity in his sarcasm and pretended to wipe away his tears.

Facing Lu Mingfei's frivolous thanks, Xia Mi responded with a roll of her eyes.

"Can you describe the scene in the Nibelungen to us?" Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi.

Chu Tianjiao had already told them about the appearance of the Nibelungen before, but Chu Tianjiao was fundamentally different from Xia Mi and the others. Xia Mi and the others should also see many different things on the "Island of Death" from their perspective.

"Dead water, dead animals, dead air and stones, everything is dead..." Xia Mi paused, his expression became serious, "The only living thing is a huge tree."

"That tree was quite large, so large that it almost occupied the entire island. It was several hundred meters high, no, perhaps thousands of meters high." Xia Mi described the scene she saw in Nibelungen at that time, "lush leaves, towering treetops, thick branches... Thousands of leaves moved without wind, like a thinking animal. Words like magnificent and huge are no longer enough to describe that tree. That tree is simply weird, there is no tree like it in the world."

“No, there is.” Old Tang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. He looked at Lu Mingfei and the others, then at Xia Mi, changing his usual playful expression. “Have you forgotten? An existence that is on par with that ancient emperor, a tree that reaches the sky and penetrates the earth, and in the end was torn apart by the Black King but still stood firm.”

"World Tree." Chu Zihang slowly uttered the name of this forbidden existence. Even the school emblem of their Kassel Academy is based on a half-decayed world tree, to show their stance that they and dragons will never coexist.

"Come to think of it, I actually have a question about the World Tree..." Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at Xia Mi.

"Senior Brother." Xia Mi interrupted Lu Mingfei and said to him seriously, "This matter is taboo even among us."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Lao Tang, and Lao Tang also shook his head at Lu Mingfei.

"I'm sorry, Mingming, this is the only time she's right." Old Tang also said to Lu Mingfei in a serious tone, "I know what you want to ask, but this matter is indeed forbidden to be mentioned."

Lu Mingfei fell silent. His doubts were not difficult to guess. To be precise, these were the doubts shared by all the hybrids who knew the history of the dragon race... Where had the World Tree gone?
The gigantic tree that had existed in the history of all dragons and hybrids, often appeared in various myths and texts, and had been confirmed to exist by scholars, actually disappeared in the end, without even a trace of its existence left. In history, the secret party once set up an organization called "World Tree Guardians" to search the world for possible remains of the World Tree... Even if that gigantic, towering tree died in the end, it is impossible that it would not leave behind any traces, right?
But the strange thing is that there really isn't any tree there. After so many years have passed from ancient times to the present, the tree in history has mysteriously disappeared on a certain page of history. People can't find any trace of it. Such a huge thing seems to have evaporated out of thin air.

Since Xia Mi and Lao Tang both said that this matter was a taboo, then the World Tree should not be as simple as being destroyed. They both said that this matter could not be asked, and Lu Mingfei could not guess it himself, so there was no need to keep entangled in this issue. "When we saw the tree for the first time, Lao Tang and I could not help but look at each other, and we saw shock in each other's eyes." Xia Mi said in a deep voice, "If it was just a huge tree, it would not be enough to surprise Lao Tang and me so much. At that time, we even felt a little scared, because the breath exuded by the tree was familiar and weird. I noticed at first glance that it was artificially copied, a fake, but it has entered the mature stage. Once that thing is truly fully grown, the situation will be beyond everyone's control."

"That's a replica of the World Tree." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice. This was the third time he used a declarative sentence instead of a question. This guess was raised when Chu Tianjiao was narrating just now.

"That's right. It was cultivated completely in the image of the World Tree. It was deliberately created by someone and is definitely not a naturally grown species." Xia Mi's voice was very heavy. "At that moment, I finally understood that this Nibelungen in the polar region actually hides a huge secret. Someone has hidden it from everyone and violated an unforgivable taboo."

“Is it illegal to create a fake world tree?” Lu Mingfei joked, “I mean the laws of the dragon world.”

"Nonsense, why do you think the Black King would bite the World Tree?" Xia Mi squinted at Lu Mingfei, "Even mentioning the existence of the World Tree is a taboo. Trying to artificially create a World Tree, don't you think how heinous it is?"

“I understand, I understand. This is simply too evil.” Lu Mingfei nodded seriously, not knowing whether he really understood or not. “This kind of guy must be severely punished. Everyone must kill him!”

"But there is a point that is hard to explain logically." Chu Zihang suddenly said, "Since the King of Sky and Wind did something taboo in Nibelungen, shouldn't this be top secret? Why did they let you and Old Tang into Nibelungen so easily?"

"Xia Mi keeps saying you're smart. Why don't you use your brain and think about it? Even if they violated the taboo, who can restrain or punish them now?" Old Tang finally found an opportunity and glanced at Chu Zihang. "The two ancient emperors are long gone. The remaining dragon kings are all in their own camps. Even the twins may not get along with each other. Who can control them?"

"Let me give you an analogy." Old Tang explained in a popular and easy-to-understand way, "The law stipulates that sex-for-money transactions are illegal, but those who are truly powerful keep women at home. What can you do to them? Do you sue them? If you can't win the lawsuit, do you report them? That's meaningless, because they are one of the regulators. When a being is powerful enough, all the rules in the world lose their meaning to him."

"I understand." Chu Zihang nodded.

"And have you heard of the saying 'catch the dog behind closed doors, catch the turtle in the jar'? It's easy for them to let us in, but it's not so easy for us to leave." Old Tang sighed, "Again, what sin have I committed to be trapped in the human-smuggling ship for so long, and I haven't had a few full meals since I landed, and now I have to rush into the tiger's den again."

"No risk, no gain." Xia Mi retorted, "If we had never been to the Nibelungen, we would never know what those guys did there, right? When the time is right, they will start with you and me. No matter if it's Fenrir or Constantine, anyone who can't tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes will suffer."

"Is that tree so scary?" Lu Mingfei asked in confusion.

He had heard Chu Tianjiao talk about the horror of the tree. To ordinary hybrids, it was of course a monster-level thing, but to beings of the level of Xia Mi and Lao Tang, Lu Mingfei didn't think they had no way to deal with the tree.

"It's far more terrifying than what we saw. It's just that it hasn't evolved into its full form yet, so it's not that scary at the moment." Xia Mi said seriously, "But that thing is too troublesome. No one can ignore its potential danger. Once it is given enough time and nutrients, it will become a threat to the Dragon King."

"Threatening the Dragon King..." Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched. Xia Mi's last description was already very straightforward.

What's more, Xia Mi is the Dragon King herself, so what she said is very important. There are very few things in this world that can truly threaten the Dragon King, otherwise the secret party would not have been so troubled by trying to destroy the dragon clan until now.

"You only saw one tree at that time, right?" Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi again, "Just now you said that the height of the tree might be more than a thousand meters."

"Yes, I'm not exaggerating." Xia Mi nodded and said solemnly, "And that's not even its final form. Although it can't compare to the real World Tree, as a man-made product, its intimidation is self-evident, just like the nuclear threat of you humans."

Chu Zihang nodded, and he exchanged glances with Lu Mingfei again.

At this point, Xia Mi's statement finally contradicted Chu Tianjiao's previous account.

In Chu Tianjiao's narration, there were four similar islands in Nibelungen, each with lush vegetation, strange creatures and a towering tree. But in Xia Mi's description, there was only one island with a huge tree.

None of them lied, which once again proved that everyone's previous speculation was correct. The King of Sky and Wind cultivated a replica of the World Tree just like raising a Gu. The one who survived in the end was the Gu King, who would devour the nutrients of other creatures in the Gu and become an unprecedentedly powerful existence.

"Just as Old Tang and I were approaching the tree, the master of Nibelungen finally appeared." Xia Mi described, "He was different from the guy I remembered. He appeared with flames, and the sky was illuminated by the flames. The storm raised huge waves on the dead water. The figure was wrapped in a shroud, as if he didn't want people to see his true face. He floated in front of Old Tang and me, and the whole Nibelungen was shrouded in his pressure."
