Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

Xi Sui'an caught up with Yi Luowen at the fastest speed. She jumped to the side of Yi Luowen who was standing still in front of her, and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of her.

The huge roots filled with the smell of corruption are densely packed, as if a piece of space was carved out alive. The source of the energy flowing through it becomes thicker, but gradually it becomes less clear, and its essence becomes more chaotic. The vigorous vitality constantly emerging from those roots coexists with decay, which is extremely strange.

Ilowen frowned, his face looking very ugly. He stared at the wandering roots without blinking.

"A mutant...it turns out to be a mutant..."

When Xi Sui'an heard Yi Luowen's mumbling, he felt a great doubt in his heart.

"What is a mutant?"

She had a vague premonition that this was no longer just a problem of the elves, but might also involve the more ancient battles of the God's Fall Era and even that strange place.

Ilowen's expression was stern, and he could hardly restrain his sneer, his pair of green eyes were extremely deep and profound.

He glanced at Xi Sui'an and couldn't help pinching his nose.

"It is rumored that the first creatures born in the Land of Origin are called Originals. The World Tree and the Tree of Life are all Originals. They possess incredible power, just like the World Tree has the power to transform heaven and earth, and the Tree of Life has the power of immortality.

"But not all original descendants can continue to exist. Since the war among the gods and the subsequent changes in the land of origin, the original creatures have been polluted and perished one after another, including the Tree of Life."

Ilowen said in a gloomy tone, "Qingshu, Peregrine, and Agatha have conducted research specifically on the elves' Tree of Life. They have visited the elves and conducted surveys. They all agree that this Tree of Life is not the original Tree of Life, but a branch of it."

branch?

Xi Sui'an suddenly understood something and stared at the dark roots. "So, given the current situation, this branch must have been faulty when it was first separated from the mother plant, or it may have been contaminated by the elves during the catastrophe of the Age of Strife."

She touched her chin, thoughtfully. If this is a branch, then is the mother plant still in its original place?

Her heart moved and she asked the system.

The system in the Sea of ​​Souls sighed quietly, "Don't overthink it. The mother plant is long gone."

If the Tree of Life could be preserved intact, the World Tree above it might still have a chance of survival.

It shook its head and sighed again.

Ilowen pulled out a short sword and said sternly to Xi Sui'an, "Contaminated creatures are what are called deformed species, twisted and alienated, losing their original characteristics. But this one seems a little different."

"Don't get close to it. Let me come. I want to see what this thing is that we elves have worked so hard to worship!"

After giving his instructions, he immediately stepped forward. The aimlessly wandering roots seemed to be startled and all pointed directly at Iloven, suddenly and frantically attacking him.

Ilowen swung his dagger at the roots. With a crackling sound, the two clashed with each other, making a sound of golden swords, which showed that the roots were harder than he had imagined.

He narrowed his green eyes slightly, and his gaze quickly swept over the thick liquid flowing on the roots, as if he had sensed something.

"laugh--"

The liquid contaminated the dagger and directly corroded the blade that looked extremely sharp, turning it into powder and falling off.

Ilowen's eyes became more serious.

"Corrosion..."

Ilowen is not good at fighting, and his combat ability is far inferior to Yan Wujiu, the chief of the City of No Return, but he has always thought that this is not a big problem.

Alchemists don't know much else, but they definitely have plenty of things they can use to attack. Xi Sui'an watched helplessly as Ilowen took out a Soul-Splitting Hammer and smashed it into the roots. The majestic origin intertwined into complex patterns, and then with the force of the hammer, it rapidly invaded the roots. The smashed roots emitted white light from the inside out, and within a few seconds, they decomposed and perished together with the Soul-Splitting Hammer.

Ilowen took the opportunity to retreat, and immediately tore off a purple crystal bracelet from his wrist and threw it out. The scattered beads exploded and shattered accurately in the dense roots. The diffuse electric light gathered into a python, and then bit the roots tightly!

Xi Sui'an's eyelids twitched. Eighth-level thunder stone.

She suddenly stepped back, and the huge Kun behind her rolled up its tail to cover Xi Sui'an.

The exploding thunder stones showed their power. The entire bottom of the lake was filled with lightning and thunder. The dazzling white light completely illuminated this dark world, and a small sun exploded!

The lightning roared to destroy everything. Several thunder stones formed a siege, and the lightning pulled and intertwined into a thunder array. The roots that were forced back a little seemed to be crazy with pain, and stabbed towards Iloven even more angrily, and then hundreds of them drilled into the cage of destruction.

"boom!!"

Xi Sui'an rubbed his ears which were almost deafened by the explosion, closed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to signal.

The huge Kun, like a dark shadow floating in the sea, carried Xi Sui'an to deeper depths. It moved nimbly, carving out a passage through countless roots. Its graceful and streamlined tail violently fanned away those roots that wanted to get close. The original power like a tsunami smashed down, pressing those roots so hard that they could not move forward or backward, and they had to bow their heads tightly.

Xi Sui'an squatted on Kun, her right eye turned gray in an instant. The silent gray had no trace of life at all. It seemed that her vigorous vitality had been swallowed up by that eye.

Deep gray surged in her eyes, and the source of restlessness continued to pour into the petrified eyes. As the gray eyes became calmer and more silent, the surrounding roots gradually turned stone gray.

Kun followed Xi Sui'an's control rhythm, swung his tail like a dragon, and crushed it forcefully. Those roots broke into pieces under the strong pressure, and then turned into powder along the way.

One second, two seconds...

This time it only took ten seconds.

The bone-eating pain spread from his right eye to his nerves. Xi Sui'an covered his right eye and felt his right eye fall into darkness again, and he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Still not strong enough.

"go!"

Xi Sui'an called on Yi Luowen to quickly leave this brief vacuum area.

Although they were fast enough, the roots kept coming after them, completely fearless and without the ability to think. They came to strangle them again without hesitation, vowing to devour them. The roots were so corrosive that even Iloven accidentally had a piece of flesh corroded on his arm.

"wrong……"

Ilowen stood on Kun's back, staring down at the bloody hole on his arm and paused. After a while, he suddenly looked at the root that hit him and keenly sensed the root's original flow.

That was the faint trace of his origin...

"It's not corrosion, it's devouring. It's devouring my essence!"

What the hell have the elves been up to for the past ten thousand years?!

Ilowen couldn't believe it. He had spent his childhood in the royal court. During that time, he had climbed to the top of the Tree of Life, received the blessing of the Tree of Life at the Hairpin Flower Ceremony, and secretly broken off the branches and leaves of the Tree of Life. He had never noticed anything unusual about the Tree of Life.

Today, the tree of life on the ground is still as lush as it was at the beginning, but the roots underground have long since been deformed and mutated.

Xi Sui'an held the Origin Flamel carving knife in his hand and turned the tip of the knife backwards. The activated carving knife cut out a thin and sharp scarlet knife light. It followed the will of its master and cut off all the roots that surrounded it like an invincible force.

She breathed a sigh of relief and secretly praised the dean's good craftsmanship. This carving knife could actually withstand the corrosive liquid on the deformed roots. It was simply a divine product!

Dean YYDS!

Xi Sui'an smiled and turned around to tell Yi Luowen this, but she was shocked when she heard Yi Luowen's gritted teeth words.

"System, what's going on?!"

The little ghost in his mind was helpless: "It seems that the tree of life that originally gave eternal life has become a tree that draws life away. It's better to cut it down and not let it stay."

Xi Sui'an was stunned. Absorbing life?

She immediately thought of the fact that the elves had a longer lifespan than the vampires, and her expression became complicated.

Could it be that they used the Tree of Life...

No way... the elves wouldn't seek death like this, right?

Ilowen threw away the tattered dagger and replaced it with his own emerald green carving knife. The thin blade easily cut away the bloody hole. Then, without changing his expression, he said to Xi Sui'an, "Be careful. Don't let your body come into contact with the roots. They will devour your original power. Also, there are too many impurities in the original power here. Be sure not to absorb the original power here."

"is teacher."

Xi Sui'an lowered his eyes and responded.

She endured the familiar intense pain in her right eye and silently sensed the flow of the original power around her. The original power here and her own original power did not resist each other, but instead had a vague attraction to each other.

The amount of origin consumed by using the Flamel carving knife and summoning Kun was enormous. When she was unable to do so, she could only absorb the power of the origin here. She was mentally prepared to face any sequelae, but she did not expect that the impurities here did not affect her own chaotic origin at all.

Feeling a little strange, she looked up at the central area covered with roots, and an indescribable strange feeling came over her.

It was as if... someone was watching her there.
