Under the Red Dragon.
Chapter 128 Wan Sheng
Chapter 128 Wan Sheng
boom,
Along with the red dragon's wild laughter, the life of this large tribe, which was formed by the union of the two most prosperous elven tribes in this plane, came to an end.
The last ancient war tree was broken from top to bottom by a heavy blade from Saha, a dragon-born werewolf wearing heavy armor, revealing two dragon wings, and a blood-red cloak, accurately revealing the heart of the war tree man.
The face on the ancient war tree suddenly disappeared, and its huge body smashed into the ground.
All the soldiers of the Imperial Guard raised their heavy swords high in the air and shouted loudly: "Use the enemy's blood to sacrifice to the temple, and use the enemy's bones to sacrifice to the throne!"
The other warriors also shouted loudly, raising their blood-stained weapons to salute their king and the temple surrounding the king.
"Sacrifice the temple, my Lord is victorious! Victory!"
These ancient war trees are extremely powerful in this world and have few rivals. They are also not like the Tree of Life which cannot be moved at will, so they have almost no natural enemies.
The claws of those ferocious beasts, even the brutal beasts, are almost useless to these ancient war trees, and the powerful strength of the ancient war trees can easily kill those beasts and enemies with their trunks. Only some extremely powerful extraordinary beasts can pose a threat to the ancient war trees.
These ancient war trees are also the most powerful and effective weapons of war that enable the elven tribes in this world to dominate the entire plane.
But in front of a group of Imperial Guards holding heavy metal blades, the huge bodies of these war tree men became a burden, and they were killed one by one by the dragon-born werewolf Saha and his Imperial Guards.
There were only about thirty war treemen left from the two elven tribes, and nearly half of them were surrounded and killed by the imperial guards.
Although these ancient war trees have been weakened by the toxins developed by mages, the fighting power of these imperial guards can still be seen.
These imperial guards had exceptional discipline under the training of the werewolf Saha. After killing the war treemen, they vented the remaining emotion in their hearts, then dragged the corpses of these ancient war trees together, arranged them neatly, and waited for the dragon to receive them.
These war treemen can be considered as one of the magical creatures. Even their dead bodies can have many uses and can be regarded as trophies.
But these imperial guards had no intention of getting involved, unlike a certain black dragon that was addicted to chewing trees. It was now hovering around the injured huge Tree of Life, whose crown had been blown off by a third, baring its fangs, eager to try.
Apparently, this black dragon gained some benefits from the Tree of Life when it attacked other small tribes. During the time when the black dragon Rosani entered the Green Forest, his skinny body was gradually filling up, just like his dried flesh and blood had been replenished with a large amount of life energy.
This huge life energy even changed the original fixed route of the black dragon's physical growth and evolution, changing the black dragon in another direction.
However, the dragons in the dragon group did not pay too much attention to this change. Every dragon has the benefit, and the change only occurred because the black dragon Rosani itself might meet certain characteristics.
This kind of mutation is considered normal in the eyes of dragons. Although dragons are not as susceptible to environmental influences as dwarves who like blacksmithing and mutate into new subspecies, the inclusiveness of dragon blood also allows them to evolve in a direction they wish.
The black dragon Rossani was obviously influenced by a certain giant dragon and also aspired to become a muscular dragon, which led to this change.
Next it was time to receive the spoils. The elves who knelt down and surrendered were released by the red dragon. He came to this world to explore the legacy of the ancient wizards and collect the resources of this world, not to exterminate the life of the world.
Therefore, he wanted to intimidate other elven tribes by eliminating two large elven tribes, and also isolate the remaining three elven tribes that participated in the attack on the camp.
As long as the main culprit is killed, the rest of the elven tribes can be tamed and will no longer have to endure war and destruction.
Following the request of the dragonborn werewolf Saha, Kalon came to the body of the war treeman, and the squinty-eyed mage beside him followed. These mages also contributed in this battle, so they also had a share of the spoils.
"Tsk tsk, what a pity! Although the life essence of these war treemen is strong, they have not yet surpassed the fifteenth level and entered the holy realm. If they enter the holy level, I can combine the tree hearts of these war treemen with some magic potions to create a magic potion that prolongs life."
The squinting-eyed mage showed a regretful expression on his face. He looked at the red dragon, obviously feeling sorry that the most powerful war treeman had been burned to ashes by the red dragon's breath.
Charon remained noncommittal about this. In a battle of critical moments, he could not hold back for the sake of profit, as that would only kill his own capable soldiers.
Only the blue dragon Doss who followed up replied to the squinting-eyed mage: "Since there is no value, you mages should not take the bodies of these war treemen."
The blue dragon Doss, who has always been the steward of the Dragon Territory, is no longer driven by the greed of the dragon itself, but habitually allocates all the good things to the big bowl of the Dragon Territory.
The dragons themselves have the knowledge to know how to utilize the bodies of these war tree people. As long as the dragons are willing to learn, every dragon can become a knowledgeable scholar.
The squinting-eyed wizard shook his head so hard that the wind blew. He shouted, "Although the tree hearts of these war tree people cannot be used to make potions that extend life, they are one of the best materials for making staffs related to natural spells. They are also the most beloved staff material of those druids. You can't keep them all for yourself!"
Karon ignored the wizard and turned his head to look at the coquettish blood-red cloak behind the tall werewolf. Even though the dragon liked this style, he felt that this behavior was a little too conspicuous on the battlefield.
"Saha, the cloaks behind your Imperial Guards are somewhat conspicuous and may attract more attention and attacks in battle," Kallon was very satisfied with the combat effectiveness and discipline of these Imperial Guards, so his tone was quite gentle.
"You are right. This way the soldiers can always see me, and I can always see the soldiers under my command! Those enemies who dare to be against you will also be afraid of me!" The tall werewolf responded.
Karon patted the werewolf Saha on the shoulder with his thick dragon claws and said nothing more.
But the black dragon Rosani had already squeezed over. He pointed at the two huge trees of life with his thick and long fangs and asked greedily, "Karon, what should we do with these two big guys now? They are the most important treasures. The value of those elves combined is not as great as these two huge trees of life."
These two trees of life are too huge. In comparison, the tree of life guarded by the forest elves that the dragons once encountered in the forest of the main plane is just a seedling.
The giant dragons standing under the two huge trees of life looked like slightly larger beasts. In Kalon's mind, he had thought about moving these trees of life back to the dragon's territory and letting them nourish his territory.
But the tree of life in front of him was too huge, beyond Kalon's expectations, and beyond the transportation capacity of these dragon followers.
As far as Charon knows, the Tree of Life in most planes cannot move on its own after growing to a certain size unless some special spells are used.
If the Tree of Life is forcibly relocated, there will be a certain price to pay. Theoretically, the growth limit of these Trees of Life is that they can evolve into World Trees and become the fulcrum supporting a plane.
Although the two trees of life in front of us do not seem to have grown to the point where they cannot be moved, their huge size cannot pass through the plane portal built by the mages.
Even Charon, who inherited the dragon's legacy, could not, for the time being, find a way from his knowledge to allow the two trees of life to pass through the plane portal intact.
Perhaps only those powerful legendary wizards can construct such a huge dimensional portal.
As a result, the value of these trees of life to Charon's estimate is discounted. Although the living trees of life can bring long-term benefits to the dragon group after recuperation in this world.
But after seeing the traces that the minions of the God of Wilderness had once invaded this world, Karon didn't think that the long-term benefits would be stable, and it would take a long time for these two trees of life to make up for the cost of migration.
It will definitely not bring the expected benefits to the Dragon Territory in a short period of time.
"Why don't we cut down the injured Tree of Life and then transport it in pieces! This Tree of Life has been severely damaged and it will take a long time to recover!" Blue Dragon Butler Doss put forward his suggestion.
The eyes of the black dragon Rosani standing nearby also lit up. The heart of the Tree of Life that had grown to such a huge size was a good thing. For giant dragons, the abundant life energy could promote the development and growth of their bodies, and it was also purer than ordinary flesh and blood energy.
Moreover, the heart of the Tree of Life is a top-quality material whether it is used to prepare potions to prolong life or to make some powerful magic weapons.
Moreover, it is more effective than the heart of the ancient war tree that has reached the holy level. After all, the essence of the Tree of Life is far higher than that of the ancient war tree.
Although not all tree hearts of the Tree of Life have such powerful effects, the Tree of Life in front of us is not comparable to the Tree of Life of those small elven tribes that were wiped out before. Looking at its huge body, you can tell that its heart must be able to work.
The squinty-eyed wizard Xiuser at the side rubbed his hands excitedly. Although the life-extending potion was attractive enough for immortal species like dragons, it was far less tempting to these short-lived species.
Even some legendary masters would be tempted by a potion that could prolong life. If Kalon was strong enough, he could even use it to recruit some old monsters hiding in the corners of the world.
After all, this magic potion has no side effects, which is incomparable to the life-extending methods used by some legendary strongmen that are full of various side effects.
Not to mention those dragons and wizards who are willing to transform themselves into liches, even a life extension method with less side effects can turn a legend into a ghost in the long run. Many legendary wizards have become crazy wizards because of these side effects. If Kalon took out this magic potion, even those metal dragons that have difficulty crossing the ancient dragon level will be friendly to Kalon and the dragon group.
This also moved Kallon, and he looked at the injured Tree of Life.
At this moment, the damaged Tree of Life suddenly shook its leaves, and several green crystal rays of light shot down from its body, illuminating an elf with his legs cut off and dying on the ground.
Kalon and the others remained motionless, and although they were alert, they were not panicked. They all knew that the Tree of Life itself had no offensive power, otherwise it would not rely on the elves and the ancient war tree as its guardian.
The elven warrior, whose legs were cut off and who seemed to be about to die at the next moment, suddenly regained his breath and slowly rose into the air as if a pair of huge hands were holding him up from behind.
The elven warrior's originally fluorescent green eyes turned a blur of white, and the voice he spoke was somewhat hollow and dull, not the voice of a living person.
"Giant Dragon, I am willing to surrender to you, can you please let me go?"
The thorns on Caron's cheeks twisted slightly. He opened his mouth wide, revealing his thick and long fangs, and laughed without disguising his inner malice: "It seems that you have been born with unusual wisdom. Then, convince me that your existence is valuable enough to me, more valuable than your body!"
"I don't know your definition of value, Dragon, can you give me some hints?" The consciousness of the Tree of Life was silent for a while, then spoke again.
"That depends on what you can do for me. For example, I can use your tree of life heart to make potions to prolong my life, increase my strength, or make it into a powerful weapon, maybe a legendary weapon." Karon's malicious intent was revealed. Although the other party had wisdom, in Karon's eyes it was just a commodity to be appraised.
The consciousness of the Tree of Life sensed this malicious presence, and its hollow voice actually revealed some urgency. "Live within the range of my influence and absorb the life energy I naturally release, which will enhance your strength and physique."
Kalon shook his head. "I can't live in this world for long, and my people can't move there either. You'd better show me something more valuable."
The consciousness of the Tree of Life became more urgent, and its originally dull words became more vivid. It said hurriedly: "I can also temporarily stop growing and concentrate all my energy on gathering the breath of life in the world to condense the water of life."
"Long-term consumption of this water of life can not only improve physical fitness, but also prolong life. It can also help some people with low fertility or even those who have lost their fertility due to age to give birth to offspring."
"The Fountain of Life that I condense with all my strength every year is enough for dozens of elves to give birth to offspring. Even if a dragon loses its fertility, it can give birth to offspring again as long as it gets enough Fountain of Life."
The hearts of the dragons and wizards present were slightly moved.
Those giant dragons that have lost their fertility are all powerful ancient dragons. The ability of the Water of Life to allow these powerful beings to give birth to offspring again shows that it is very powerful.
The mage thought of more actions. The squinting-eyed mage even thought of exchanging some water of life for the friendship of some powerful beings. It would be even better if he could train the offspring of those powerful beings to become his partners.
However, the decision-making power on this matter is not in the hands of the wizard. If you want to get enough fountains of life, you need to see Charon's opinion.
Although Kalon was surprised at the effect of the Fountain of Life, he still shook his head and said, "Not enough. These two points are of no use to me now."
The consciousness of the Tree of Life was choked immediately. If it was not afraid that the Red Dragon would chop it down immediately, it would probably roar out: "Stop interrupting me all the time!"
However, it still struggled for its life. "I can bear fruit. As long as I concentrate all the life force used for growth and development, I can bear fruit full of life force every once in a while. If you take it, you can increase your lifespan."
"The longer the time, the better the effect. If it takes three years to produce fruit, it can only increase lifespan by one year. If it takes five years, it can increase lifespan by two years. If it takes more than ten years, then the lifespan that can be increased is roughly equal to the time it takes to produce fruit!"
At this moment, all the dragons including the mages were excited, and the mages who gathered around were even more eager.
Among these mages there are those with outstanding talent like Xiuser, who has become a high-level mage at a young age and is only one step away from the holy realm.
But there are more mages who use their time to gain magical knowledge and increase their power. Although these mages have outstanding talents compared to ordinary people, no one can be sure whether they can reach the threshold of the Saint level before the end of their life.
Therefore, they pay special attention and importance to things that can prolong life. Some high-level wizards have even made up their minds to contact the dragon after returning to see if they can exchange their loyalty for a chance to obtain the fruit of life, even the fountain of life.
However, the performance of these mages caused misunderstanding among the imperial guards surrounding Charon, who were loyally guarding the red dragon. They approached one by one, surrounded the mages tightly, and slightly raised the heavy blades in their hands.
Karon shook his head and quickly signaled the guards to relax.
The fruit of the Tree of Life, this legendary treasure, even dragons have never seen it. Perhaps only a few dragon gods have seen it with their own eyes.
On the one hand, it is because the Tree of Life cannot produce such a miraculous fruit if it does not grow to a certain size. Even if it does, it will be collected by the elves guarding the Tree of Life as soon as possible.
On the other hand, it is also because dragons and other creatures have always found it difficult to spy on the elven community that possesses the Tree of Life.
Dragons have dragon gods, other races also have racial gods, and the elves are not a weak race either, they have their own racial pantheon.
Moreover, compared to the dragon pantheon, which is never harmonious, double-dealing and calculating against each other, the elven pantheon is actually more powerful and united.
Therefore, this legendary treasure has been almost forgotten by people, who think it is just a ridiculous story told by ordinary people.
For this reason alone, Charon has decided to spare the Tree of Life. The dragon can wait for a few years. Once the fruit of life is harvested, it will become the foundation of the dragon's territory.
But the surprises of the Tree of Life continued. It said, "The new branches I grow every year contain abundant natural energy. They can be used to make staffs for releasing shamanic magic and spells related to life and nature. They have a strong effect on these magics. Perhaps this will be very useful for your spellcasters!"
"That's good," Karon nodded. With so much accumulation over the years, he might be able to own a legion of spellcasters in the future. Each of them would hold a staff made of branches of the Tree of Life. The equipment of such a legion of spellcasters would be terrifying and luxurious just by looking at it.
Moreover, this can also attract some druids and related mages to the territory. The attraction of this level of magic equipment is strong enough, which can also become one of the selling points of the dragon territory in the future.
"Also, dragon, I will fully cooperate with you in the future and provide blessings and protection for your journey in the forest. Your warriors can move freely within the range of my influence, and I will also actively persuade other trees of life not to resist your will!"
The Tree of Life remained silent and decided to be a guide for the sake of its own life.
Caron finally showed a satisfied smile. He patted the trunk of the Tree of Life and said with a smile: "Very good, your wisdom and obedience have won you a future. I hope that all future Trees of Life will take you as an example!"
"Thank you for your tolerance, Lord Dragon," the consciousness of the Tree of Life finally became joyful, and its tone became light.
"So, have you borne the fruit of life in these years?" Caron revealed his greedy eyes. The benefits in the future are in the future, and the benefits now are now. Caron never leaves empty-handed!
"No, these elves only need the Fountain of Life. They are not enough for me to spend my own growth time to condense the Fruit of Life," the Tree of Life replied in a muffled voice.
Then it changed the subject and said, "But if Your Excellency the Dragon needs it, it is available now."
The body of the Tree of Life began to tremble, and countless breaths of life gathered from its trunk, and finally condensed in the depths of the seemingly bald crown. A cluster of fruits blooming with bright green light jumped out from between the branches and green leaves.
This fruit is full and fragrant, exuding a faint scent similar to that of grass after rain. Just a hint of the smell carried by the wind, these battle-experienced warriors and mages all feel refreshed.
That represents life!
Huh, Karon spread his wings and flew up to the treetops, swallowed the fruit of life into his stomach, and when he looked back, night had already begun to fall.
The warriors under the dragon have begun to clean up the battlefield and set up camp in an orderly manner.
After being baptized by blood, these warriors have gradually formed a certain legion will, which is a world apart from ordinary monster legions.
They will be the most solid foundation in the dragon's territory and the most powerful war group in the dragon's future kingdom.
Charon smiled and showed his fangs. The other dragons followed him and flapped their wings to fly towards the Bloody Temple in the sky. The souls there were already resting, and the dragons also needed to rest.
The camp gradually became quiet. This was their first base, but not the last!
