There are two ways out of the room filled with mysterious runes and the magic device of the Eternal Sleeper.

One is the path that Bud took when he came down, connecting the inclined ramps of the upper and middle areas, while the other continues to extend forward all the way to the lower and lower levels of dark chaos.

Standing in front of the corridor leading deeper, Gao Wen focused slightly and perceived the distribution of magic power in the surrounding environment.

The subtle energy field that enveloped the entire Solinburg area still exists here, and a steady stream of vitality escaped from the roots of the giant tree, as if someone was releasing endless healing techniques. All organisms in the range were affected by this energy field, and even Gao Wen felt a little excited.

Apart from this energy field, he did not sense any other threatening aura.

The team that came down together gathered behind Gao Wen, and the team commander quickly gave the order: "In a group of five people, line up to explore the formation, and move forward cautiously."

The fully armed magic combat soldiers immediately took action, and divided the marshals of a vanguard, two observers, and two firepower soldiers into several groups, and began to advance in this deep and long corridor. The magic vision brought by the comprehensive tactical eyepiece allows them to clearly and intuitively see the distribution of magic power in the underground palace, and the rune light emitted by the magic equipment on their bodies soothe everyone's tense mood.

Only the sound of orderly footsteps remained in the underground palace.

Amber followed Gao Wen, widening his eyes all the way. The dark environment in the underground palace had no effect on her who was born in the shadow world, and she could even see clearly like Bai Yu, but she activated the extra shadow vision, because what she saw here was not only the scenery that could be seen by the naked eye, but also... some things that could only be seen in the shadow vision.

Her eyes slowly turned a layer of golden yellow, and a subtle shadow mist rose around her, which was somewhat close to her "shadow fairy" form in the shadow world, but she obviously controlled it deliberately to ensure that she was fixed in the material world while maintaining the highest shadow affinity.

Gao Wen noticed the "half-elf" behavior and asked in a low voice: "What have you seen?"

"I saw nothing, but it seems more professional..."

Gao Wen: "…"

"Okay, kidding," Amber noticed that the stone walls around him looked very hard, and it would be really hard to pick them off once they were photographed, so he quickly restrained his untimely jokes. "There are indeed some 'things' here, which are shadow residents... everywhere, and there are more than other places."

"Shadow Inhabitants?" Gao Wen immediately frowned and looked around subconsciously - of course, with his human vision, he must not see the creatures hidden in the cracks of the shadows. "What are they doing? Is there a threat?"

"There should be no threat. They are all on the side of the shadow and do not seem to care about us visitors to the material world," Amber blinked. "They wandered around this corridor...it seemed to be very interested in this underground palace, but there was no more to do otherwise."

She said, paying attention to the "scenery" that only she could see.

In the deep and dark corridors of the underground palace, the world gradually turned black and white. In the faded world, there were groups of human figures wrapped in rune tapes wandering around. They passed by Gao Wen and others, completely ignoring visitors to the material world. However, only when passing by Amber, shadow residents occasionally stopped, nodding slightly or muttering to say hello.

Amber shrank his neck and suddenly felt a chill in these creatures who used to be quite friendly to him.

She restrained part of the power of the shadow, pulled herself away from the shadow realm, and fixed herself to the real world more closely.

She belongs here, and she doesn't want to go back to that world.

Meanwhile, the team had already walked through the long corridor. After passing through a collapsed and cracked door, Gao Wen found himself walking into a hall.

The hall is wide, with a high roof. Extinguished runes and cooled magic metal can be seen on the walls and ground of stone (or some artificial material similar to stone). This place used to be a solemn and important place, but it was already in a mess. The long tables used for partying were split, and the seats fell to the ground in a twist, while a large number of roots that emerged from the ceiling and the ground almost completely occupied the entire space, crisscrossing in the hall, like a jungle.

In fact, if it weren't for these ubiquitous roots that wrapped almost the entire underground palace, this huge underground ruin would have collapsed long ago. After all, the artificial god had seriously damaged the stratigraphic structure of the underground Fort when it came out. After that, a plant larger than a castle emerged here. The underground palace could still remain stable after such troubles. It can only be said that it is the credit of these roots.

The plant root system can maintain water and soil, which is really true (heavy fog).

Gao Wen glanced at the hall and vaguely recognized some characteristics, then realized that he had "seen" this place.

This is the "conference hall" presented in the dream that Bard fell into, but what Gowen saw in the same dream was what this hall looked like when it was complete.

"It seems that I'm just now in the chamber..." Bud also recognized the place, muttering with emotion, his eyes swept through the messy tables and chairs and the root jungle that filled the hall.

There is no meeting group, no bright magic crystal lights, there is nothing here, just a mess, and the slightest friction sounds coming from deep inside the roots of the plant.

A subtle friction sound?

Gowen and Bud heard the strange sounds at the same time. The former immediately raised his head and looked vigilantly at a dark corner deep in the hall.

The soldiers also reacted, and all kinds of weapons pointed at a distance at the same time, and the slight clicking sound of the weapon safety opening instantly.

"Keep alert - be careful of fire," Gao Wen reminded in a low voice, then lifted the Trail Blazer's sword in one hand, and walked forward with caution.

In the messy light columns produced by personal lighting equipment, a tangled and twisted root (or vines) slowly squirmed in the corner of the hall. Gao Wen pressed back with his hand, signaling the soldiers not to fire rashly, and then quietly watched the vine turn and deform. In a light green stream of light, a female figure slowly emerged from the plants.

Belltila Augustus – in the real world.

She closed her eyes slightly, her appearance was still as familiar to Gao Wen, but her body seemed to have merged with the plants. She was covered with a layer of "dress" that seemed to be mixed with the horny and leaves of the plant. There were roots growing on the back, legs, cervical spine, etc., and the flower vines were connected to the root group in the hall. This strange posture was not so much that she was connected to these roots...

Her current body is part of this giant tree, and part of the structure of this giant tree has become Belltila, or... she has become the Thorin giant tree.

Gao Wen didn't know what kind of situation it was, so he could only judge that the "Beltira" in front of him was not sober.

She closed her eyes slightly, and did not respond to the uninvited guests around her and the flashing lights. She held a strange and heavy book in her hand, as if that book was something she tried her best to protect before she lost consciousness. And beside her, Gao Wen felt an extremely clear fluctuation of magic.

It's indeed a treatment.

She was constantly releasing healing techniques to the outside world, and the entire Solin giant tree was also communicating with the magic of nature under her influence, generating an uninterrupted life field, and directly leading to the full recovery and reconstruction of vitality within several days and nights of the entire Solin area.

"It seems that there is no reaction..." Amber carefully observed the strange woman in front of her. She knew that the other party was once a dark and cunning depraved druid, but now the other party's form is closer to a dangerous monster. "Is she releasing the healing technique... closing her eyes and starting surgery to cure the disease in her dream, sleeping to save lives and heal the wounded?"

Gao Wen frowned and observed the strange scene in front of him, guessing the reason for Belltila's strange state. He looked up at the pile of twisted and entangled roots, and vaguely developed some associations.

"There should be something behind this," he said suddenly, "open these roots."

Immediately a soldier stepped forward and began to clean up the tangled roots. Gao Wen turned his head and looked at Belltila, who was still slightly closed his eyes as if he was asleep. On the latter's face... he saw no change in expression.

This Dark Lord seems to have become a real plant, and the plant is bloodless and tears.

The tangled roots were tougher than expected. The soldiers cleared for a long time before finally opening a gap. A soldier who leaned in looked at it and immediately shouted loudly: "There is indeed something behind this! It's a secret room!"

Behind the entrance covered by the roots is a secret room.

The secret room is filled with black "objects" whose original shape can no longer be seen, and only roughly the outline of the human body can be roughly seen.

The scene made the scalp tingling: hundreds of human-shaped objects were piled up in the secret room, and countless crisscrossing vines meandered around them, connecting their flesh and blood, connecting the roots on nearby walls. Their vitality was obviously cut off, but the vines connected to them were lush, while the Belltila outside the secret room...

He is still casting healing techniques on these dead ends of all the dead.

These healing techniques are not meaningless: she forcibly maintained these lifeless human-shaped objects in a state of immortality, and also imprisoned their last remaining spiritual fragments in this huge plant.

Now, Gao Wen finally knew how the dream that Bard encountered came about.

Amber also looked at the secret room. The strange scene inside made her get goosebumps all over her body. The half-elf quickly came back and whispered beside Gao Wen: "This thing is too evil... Although I don't have any good feelings for these cultists, it's too scary for them to turn into this in the end, right?"

"The madman finally got a crazy end," Gao Wen withdrew his gaze from the secret room and sighed softly, "Judged from the out-of-control schedule of the Crystal Cluster Legion, the artificial god went through about half a month of imprisonment from going crazy to completely drilling out of the surface. During this period, this underground palace was closed, and the final deceased monks and the terrifying monsters they created were locked in the dark underground... Crazy is followed by twist, and twist is followed by mutation. This giant tree covering half of the Thorin area is their final ending."

He has now vaguely understood the birth of this giant tree.

"What should I do?" Amber looked at Gao Wen, "Let them maintain this state? Or set a fire?"

"Although they are dead... but if this continues, no one knows whether they will change unexpectedly," Gao Wen shook his head, "As for setting fire... it may not be necessary."

While speaking, he came to the side of the "Beltira" that had turned into a plant.

Plants are indeed free of blood and tears.

But it is not the plants that dream.

"Stop, they are all dead." Gowen said to Belltila.

Belltila was still slightly closed and had no response to external sounds.

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "Pretending to sleep can't solve the problem, or do you want me to teach you the principles of being a human being in the real world?"

After a few seconds of silence, Amber and others were surprised to find that Belltila's treatment had actually stopped.

The "life force field" that is full of surrounding space is still maintained, which seems to have become a certain characteristic of the "Sorin Giant Tree" and cannot be easily dissipated, but the healing technique that Belltila maintains in this underground space has really stopped.

She finally opened her eyes slowly, with some heterogeneous, slow and low tone, looking at Gao Wen and said, "Sure enough... it's you..."

Gao Wen knew that the other party was referring to the "dream encounter" when he was on the border of Gondor's wasteland. That time, he fooled it by pretending to be the image of the founding monarch of Augustus, but it was obvious that Belltila has finally realized the truth.

But even if she figured it out, it would be meaningless.

Gao Wen suddenly felt a little moved.

He really didn't expect that he would see Belltila again in this situation and witness the final outcome of these dark druids in this situation.

These crazy, paranoid, and extreme cultists eventually ruined themselves with their own twisted magic.

They themselves became the grave grass of this dark sect... the grave grass in the true sense.

Although this grave grass is a bit larger.
