Chapter 592: The Underground Treasures of the Old City of Elves (2)(1/2)
.
"Hehe, I really can't believe it." Xiao Han pinched the tip of his nose and said awkwardly.
"Humans have united the gods and demons, and our elves are defeated. In that battle, the three-tribe coalition forces used tricks to drag our elves army and then rushed thousands of miles away. When we realized that it was too late to prepare to return to the rescue, the imperial city was destroyed, millions of elves died in battle, and the elves were severely injured. They were forced to give up most of the land and forests, retreat to a corner of the southwest of the continent, and remain content here," Serena said inexplicably.
"Do you hate them?" Xiao Han heard a strong sense of hatred from Serena's words.
"I hate them, but from another perspective, if they didn't unite, maybe humans wouldn't be today, and the gods and demons could only stay in their closed space and couldn't get out," said Serena.
"Did the war between gods and demons start from that time?" Xiao Han asked in surprise.
"You are so smart. Before I could say it, you guessed that the war between gods and demons began at that time," Serena said. "This is a glimmer of life that the Goddess of Life seeks for the elves. Because if the three tribes continue to unite, the elves would probably have perished at that time. So the Father God used his divine power to seal the passage of the gods and demons into the vast continent, giving them a chance to enter the continent only ten thousand years."
"The Creator God has set up a ten thousand-year war of gods and demons to preserve the elves?" Xiao Han felt that this was not the answer he wanted. Perhaps this was one of the answers, but the real answer was far more than this.
"It can be said that God the Father rarely interferes in wars on the continent. Even if some races are extinct, God the Father will not help. God the Father reaches out to help us. I think it is the reason why the Goddess's crown pleads. At that time, no one except God the Father could help the destiny of the elves." Serena said with great respect.
Xiao Han didn't agree, but the goddess of life is a god worshipped by others. It is in line with certain rules to impose all the credit on the gods he believes in.
The facts may be cruel, and not knowing may be much better than knowing.
"You brought me here to tell me this?"
"No, come with me." Serena pulled Xiao Han and floated over the ruins.
This is the old capital of the elves. It is strange that there is no guard, and it is lifeless and has a sense of infiltration.
After a while, they came to a very large ruin of the building complex. The bricks and stones under their feet were almost weathered. With a slight touch, they turned into a pool of powder.
Xiao Han carefully observed that the complex was very large and must have been very grand before it was destroyed. Even the leaves were covered with dry grass and could see some shiny particles, which were priceless gems, etc. After tens of thousands of years of erosion by wind and rain, most of them have turned into dust. Only a few of them are hard and large in size are fortunate to preserve them.
This is not an area that humans can reach. They are blocked by layers of powerful monsters outside. Even if they can reach this place, the elves will not let them disturb their ancestors' long-lasting resting place.
Therefore, these treasures disappeared one by one in the long river of history.
"Isn't it a pity? In fact, they are just scattered, and most of them were taken away by the coalition forces of the three tribes?" Serena said sadly.
This is for sure. The three-tribe coalition forces will definitely lose their troops and generals when they break through the elves. If they don’t bring some spoils, then the commander who commands the battle will be unqualified.
Why war is for, land, wealth, population, and maybe a woman can be added in specific situations
"I feel sorry for the destruction of such a great city, but is it related to what we are going to do tonight?" Xiao Han once again raised his doubts.
"Sorry, every time I come here, I can't suppress the sadness in my heart. I am the elf queen and shoulder the important task of revitalizing the elf clan, but I still accomplish nothing until now." Serena's eyes turned red.
Xiao Han was silent for a moment, and he could only do this for Serena's ideals and ambitions.
"Although the war destroyed the buildings on the ground, the underground buildings were basically preserved. What we are going to now is underground," Serena explained.
"Underground?" Xiao Han was puzzled. What were they doing underground? Exploration? Treasure hunting? Now is not the time.
In the middle of the ruins, two huge stones crossed and a dark hole appeared in front of the two, as if a monster was growing up and waiting for them to enter and then swallowed them.
Serena grabbed Xiao Han's palm and became slightly wet, and Serena herself seemed a little nervous.
"You haven't been here?" Xiao Han asked. This kind of nervousness only occurs when facing unknown things. With Serena's cultivation level, there should be nothing that can make her nervous. Is there anything terrible underground?
"There is one thing that I just saw in the records of the elves, and I haven't been here almost yet, so I dare not." Serena responded with a weak smile.
"It seems that you pulled me over and wanted to serve you as a shield when necessary." Xiao Han was a little unhappy. This woman always thought she was self-righteous and didn't tell the truth to herself.
"No, there is something we need here. If we get it, maybe our success rate of saving the mother tree will be much higher." Serena explained.
"What?" Xiao Han asked strangely.
"A seed of the tree of life," said Serena.
"You are not kidding about the seeds of the Tree of Life. Didn't the Tree of Life give birth to one? How could a seed appear?" Xiao Han shouted in shock.
"I'm not kidding. This seed is actually not complete. It was nurtured by the tree of life nine million and six hundred thousand years ago. I don't know what happened. At that time, a new tree of life was bred, and there was an incomplete seed. This seed was collected and entered the palace treasure of the elves. Later, it was gradually forgotten. Seventy thousand years ago, the city was broken and the three tribes robbed the capital, but they did not find this seed. Therefore, I suspect that this seed is still somewhere underground in the palace, and it is waiting for us to go," Serena said firmly.
"You don't have a fever, even if this seed is still there, nearly tens of millions of years have passed, is it still useful?" Xiao Han reached out and touched Serena's forehead.
"The seeds of the Tree of Life are different. According to the elves' classics, about 4300,000 years ago, the elf queen at that time tested this seed. The power of life contained in it was like a vast sea, but it only decreased by about one tenth," Serena refuted.
"Okay, you pulled me over in the middle of the night just to accompany you to find the seeds of the tree of life?" Xiao Han sighed helplessly. He was becoming more and more aware of Serena. Her thinking was really different from that of ordinary people.
At this time, we should be preparing to enter the Lake of Life and find a way to cure the Tree of Life, instead of going deep into the underground of this dark and elves ancient imperial city to find the seeds of the Tree of Life.
God knows whether this seed was taken away by people from the three tribes. Perhaps no one knows this seed at all. It may be possible to stay in a corner. Judging from the work being done neatly, it is not certain that it is like this. This is a lucky attitude to detect leaks.
"We won half of this seed even if we can't find a way to cure the mother tree for the time being." Serena said.
"Are you talking about betting with Kahn?" Xiao Han understood why Serena would let go of her serious business and drag her to find some seeds. It turned out that she was afraid that she would lose. On the other hand, she did not have much confidence in herself.
"Kan is right. We don't even have a point in winning this bet, but I can't lose, so..."
"You do so many things and even seduce me, you just don't trust me, right?" Xiao Han asked.
"No, I just want to do a two-pronged approach, it's safer," Serena said honestly.
"Then why are you here to find seeds from the Tree of Life until now, and what have you done before?" Xiao Han asked sternly.
"My every move is within the sight of the Elders' Council. If I disappear for two hours, they will look for me all over the world. I don't want them to know that I am here to find the seeds of the Tree of Life." Serena explained.
"What about now?"
"I seized Kahn. Now he only knows that I want to implement the life transfer method on you. It is impossible to disturb this secret method, and it takes a long time, so I have enough time to come here to find the seeds of the tree of life," said Serena.
"Okay, what exactly makes you believe that the seeds of the Tree of Life are below?" Xiao Han couldn't see the expression of lies on Serena's face.
"My ex has been here, she told me," Serena said.
"Your ex, Queen Faya?"
"I didn't expect you to know Queen Faya?" Serena asked in surprise.
"Just know yourself and your enemy," Xiao Han smiled faintly, "Do you believe in her so much? Is it impossible for her to lie to you?"
"No, she is committed to revitalizing the elves, but there is no good time, so she passed everything about her to me." Serena said.
"She should be still here?"
"Are, practice in the Elf Kingdom"
"The Elf Kingdom, a place similar to the Divine Beast Platform?"
"Yes, in addition to humans, many races passed down from ancient times have a special space that can avoid space suppression. After practicing to a higher level, I will also go there after I abdicate," said Serena.
"Why don't humans?"
"The place where humans go is the two realms of gods and demons. There is a chance once in ten thousand years. The two realms are optional. In fact, humans have greater opportunities. As long as they reach the top, living for ten thousand years is not difficult. There are even people with two chances," Serena explained.
The passage was very dark and long, and it was filled with a moldy smell, but as it deepened, the pungent smell slowly disappeared.
This underground city is very big, it is simply a maze, and there is a possibility of getting lost at any time, so Xiao Han just followed Serena.
Serena mastered the dungeon road map, so she advanced very quickly. On the way, they passed by several elves treasure houses, but they were all looted. There was nothing in the empty treasure house except for the collapsed rotten wooden shelf.
After the three tribes coalition forces broke through the imperial capital, they focused on the underground secret rooms of the Elf Royal Palace, so it was very clean.
The magic lamp in the passage had long lost its lighting function because it had exhausted the energy of the magic crystal. If they hadn't prepared their own magic lamp, they wouldn't have dared to come here alone in this dark dungeon.
After the elves died, I don’t know if they have any souls. Xiao Han thought about this problem in his mind while walking.
Millions of elves died here, and I always feel that there are gloomy and dirty and evil things here, but why did I not meet one after so long?
"Selina, what happened to the millions of elves who died here?" Xiao Han asked casually.
"It is said that part of it has been buried, and some are buried under the ruins," Serena paused at her feet.
"What will happen to your elves after their death? Will the soul enter the underworld?" Xiao Han asked.
"No, after our elves die, our souls will return to nature directly and will not enter the underworld." Serena said.
"Oh, no wonder." Xiao Han nodded and stopped talking.
More than a dozen treasure houses were opened one after another, and they were all empty and there was no gold coin. It seemed that the coalition of the three tribes was doing very thoroughly. No wonder the elves hated the three tribes so much.
Why do those old guys hate themselves so much? It is considered that there are historical reasons. Not only did they kill others, they also destroyed their homes and snatched away their wealth. I am afraid that this great hatred will be overwhelming even if the rivers are in full bloom.
When the elves were strong, they were the overlords of the continent. Those with a lot of wealth could not be calculated by numbers. No one knows how much wealth the elves is. Judging from the size of nearly twenty elves treasure houses that were opened, the little wealth he stole from the clam clan was simply a drop in the bucket.
"Serina, if we continue to search like this, we may not find it for ten years. I'd better think about where the seeds of this tree of life might be hidden so that they will not be discovered by the coalition forces of the three tribes." Xiao Han reminded that it would take too time and effort to search one by one.
"I only have a map on the underground floor of the old capital here, and there are two floors below," said Serena.
"What, there are two layers below?" Xiao Han said angrily, "Why didn't you say earlier? How could you keep such precious treasures as the seeds of the Tree of Life on the first floor? They must be below. The possibility of the second floor is very small, maybe on the third floor."
"Let's go directly to the third floor?" Serena's eyes lit up.
"Nonsense, go quickly," Xiao Han urged.
"There is an entrance on the second floor not far from us, let's go over." The map was in Serena's mind. She searched in her mind for a while, pulled Xiao Han and turned into a corridor, and ran over
"Arrival, the second floor entrance is here." Serena and Xiao Han came to an empty hall. There was no entrance to the second floor, and there was no one in the door.
"Are you sure this is the entrance to the second floor?" Xiao Han looked around the bare wall and said suspiciously.
"This is how the map is displayed, it shouldn't be wrong." Serena was not sure either.
"Look for it, what mechanisms may be?" Xiao Han said. If the treasures hidden on the second floor are more precious than the first floor, then the second floor will not be so easy to enter.
"Yes" the two of them searched inch by inch apart.
