Chapter 56 Demigod remains!
Standing in front of a cave surrounded by a light blue halo, completely covered by dark green vines and branches, Donald's palm stroked the rings of the giant wooden stakes beside him, but his eyes remained at the "statuary" lying near the stump.
Finger stepped on the cheeks of a tree man who was more than five meters tall an hour ago, but now it is only the size of an ordinary human.
Following him all the way, Donald can be said to have watched the whole process by relying on the tree man he summoned.
From the rise of a group of tree people at 2 a.m. to the return of the tree roots to the land and the shrinkage and elimination of the tree people at the moment when the sun emerged, Donald saw it all.
But he couldn't understand what happened in this.
Why do these tree people run around carrying this wooden stake?
Why do they completely lose their activity as soon as the sun comes out?
And how did this secret cave that suddenly emerged in this environment that was originally just an ordinary forest?
There are too many questions in my mind. Even Donald, who has agile thinking, cannot tell what kind of secrets are hidden in it at this time.
"It seems that Claremont might have really lost his luck at that time. As a wanderer who has been exposed, he encountered this kind of scene in this huge forest."
Anthony touched the back of his head, and didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only smack his lips and said in a muffled voice.
"Maybe, after saying that, are we a little lucky? We only encountered this scene after searching for a day."
Donald left the stump, turned his eyes to the inside of the cave, and replied in a strange tone.
Is it really luck...
"Let's go in and have a look?"
Stephanie broke a branch from a tree man and took it in her hand. Although Donald had said that these tree man had completely lost its vitality, she still felt that since it was the natural thing on the tree man, it was always worth some money.
"It's all this time, there's no reason not to go in and take a look... I'd better go in alone. You guys are all outside. If there is any danger, I will notify Liluo and run back. You can pick me up outside and watch here to prevent anyone from coming to ambush us."
Donald wanted to say that everyone would go in together, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that doing so was a bit of a desperate gamble. If there was any trap specifically targeting the alien disciples in the cave or if someone else happened to approach him, it would be easy to have an accident if no one was outside.
"I'll go in with you, and it's enough to have Anthony and Lilo outside. I'd love to see what the huge tree man looked like that Mr. Claremont said."
Stephanie leaned over to Donald and said actively.
"Well... OK, then you go in with me."
If only one more person is needed, Donald asked himself that he could take care of it.
"This should be the entrance to a secret realm, otherwise there is no way to explain its sudden appearance. It should be related to the tree stump next to it. Could it be that the tree stump is actually the entrance to the secret realm?"
Until he entered the secret realm, Donald was still thinking about the origin of this secret realm.
When he stepped in, his body rubbed against the branches, leaves and vines, and his vision immediately became dark, as if he had stepped into another world.
Donald has entered the secret realm twice, once on the Illusion Island, and once on the mountains outside Beiruye. These two experiences have given Donald a preconceived impression of the secret realm, that is, they are often a natural wild environment inside.
However, this time when I entered the secret realm of the Howling Forest, Donald saw a long corridor paved with blue stone slabs. On both sides were lined with more than one person tall like a lamp tower, with light green fluorescent vine columns on the top.
In addition to these things, surrounded by stone walls made of overlapping giant gray stones and some vines climbing on top.
This is not like something that can grow naturally.
"Is the scene in the cave that Claremont mentioned at that time like this now?"
Bent over and looked at the light in the lamppost, Stephanie deliberately raised her foot and stomped the floor, confirming that it was indeed a solid brick.
"No, I clearly remember the cave he mentioned was just an ordinary cave, where a huge tree man was lying...he was he lying to us?"
Donald recalled the scene in the cave that Claremont once told him, which was obviously quite different from the scene in front of him.
But if Claremont deceived him, Donald couldn't understand why. Since they had told them the external scenes of the cave, why should they lie in such a place that could be seen at a glance?
Walking along this corridor, you can easily see a large green light in front of you after a hundred meters.
"Be careful, don't be too far away from me, there is an energy reaction ahead."
Donald kept his spiritual vision open and continued to move forward, stepping on the last brick and stone at the end of the corridor. What he saw was the stairs extending downwards and a long and uneven forest. No... it cannot be simply said that it is the woods, but the gathering place of hundreds of wood elves in front of him.
In the state of spiritual vision, the scene in front of you is very similar to the scene I saw in the Howling Forest last night. Before Donald came in, he was still thinking about where the wood elves went, but he didn't expect them to be hidden here.
"I understand that these wood elves are originally in this secret realm. They will leave the secret realm at night and descend into the Howling Forest. When the sun rises the next day, they will return to the secret realm. And the person who makes this huge number of wood elves cry is probably the one in front of them..."
Donald's eyes were farther away than the wood elves. There was a giant seat about 20 meters high and nearly 10 meters wide, composed of thick tree roots and dark green vines. In the seat was a giant tree man nearly 15 meters tall!
Unlike the trees around the tree stumps outside, the person in front of him only had branches and broken leaves growing on his head, but he did not grow randomly, but was more like he was born like this. The branches generally showed a state of growing horizontally and then vertically upward, which made them look like the crown of a human king wearing on the head of a tree man.
The skin of its tree did not even show dark green, but was an extremely eye-catching silver-gray color. The gullies on its body were filled with dark golden light. These lights were born from the cross-shaped golden crystal in its head and flowed to all parts of its body.
It just sits in the seat, with its body obliquely to its right, and its right arm against its cheek, as if it has been in a long sleep. It has woken up some time, and it is like it is just a short sleep. It will open its eyes anytime and anywhere, making a low sound.
Hiss~huh~hih~huh~
A heavy gasp came from the side. Donald turned his head and found that Stephanie was already sweating profusely.
"Donald, I'm a little breathless..."
Stephanie stared at the giant tree man for a while, and then she was shaking like she had been running for several kilometers.
"Who told you to see it like this? That is a demigod who is only one step away from the real god!"
Even the slowest person could see the extraordinary nature of the giant tree man in front of him. Combined with what Claremont once said and the ancient books in his hand, Donald quickly guessed its identity.
The demigod who wrote this ancient book in his hand!
"Close your eyes, pull the corner of my clothes, let's go."
Donald just wants to go to the demigod now, not to look at its appearance, but to find its relics!
Yes, the giant tree man is dead, Donald is sure of that.
One is because of the records in the ancient books of the Demigods, and the other is because of the previous actions of these wood elves.
He vaguely understood why those wood elves cried in the middle of the night.
The passing of the demigod in front of him made the wood elves who created or came to this world with him felt extremely sad. This secret realm is actually equivalent to a moving coffin.
The elves of the wood carried this coffin in the middle of the night, so that the dead demigod could continue to feel this territory completely under its control.
"Is the dead king still the king..."
He withdrew his eyes with emotion and buried forward. The above is just Donald's personal guess, the truth is unknown, and he doesn't care about exploring these reasons now. He only knows that this is a demigod's corpse. Some things it collected during his lifetime may be extremely precious treasures for Donald.
Shuving through the Wood Elf, Donald completely restrained his mental power and turned himself into an ordinary person. This was to imitate Claremont's previous behavior. He was able to enter here as an ordinary person and go out alive, which means that these Wood Elfs are likely not to attack ordinary people.
It turned out that Donald's approach was correct. There were no emergencies along the way. The wood elves were like they fell into a deep sleep with the giant tree man.
"Donald, do you see that Claremont once took the position of the ancient book of the Demigod?"
Walking on the stone path in the center and passing the woods, Stephanie quickly noticed the scene ahead that was originally blocked by the woods. There was actually a clearing of land between the giant tree man and the woods, and in the center of the clearing was an ordinary stone table.
In fact, this kind of thing appears in such an environment, which is abnormal no matter how you look at it...
Subconsciously approached the table. Nothing unexpectedly, there was nothing on it. Donald squatted down to look at the stone table and took out the ancient book of the demigod from the space ring.
This is just a casual action.
However, at the moment when the ancient book of Demigod appeared, the books that had not changed at all suddenly scattered into light spots. Donald stood there without any reaction for a moment.
"You're finally here..."
Chapter completed!
