In order to save time, Hao Ren planned to have the elven engineering team split into two ways to carry out operations at the Sunset Volcano and the Giant Tree of Life at the same time, although the situation on the side of the Sunset Volcano was complicated, but the survey data was detailed, so there was no need to worry much, Hao Ren decided to personally supervise the excavation work in the area of the Giant Tree of Life.Of course, there was an even bigger reason that he heard that the place was beautiful, and decided to take some pictures and hang them on the censors' forum......
Holleta didn't expect the guys brought by Hao Ren to be so pragmatic, and they came all the way to start work without even drinking saliva, but they still quickly organized an accompanying team to go to the scene in the two places together.This time, the teleportation array was unable to go, and the size of the elf excavator brigade really exceeded the limit of teleportation technology, but fortunately, the elves' flying machines were not slow, and it only took dozens of minutes to cross the entire territory of Holletta.So the elves' aerial excavator troops inquired about the location of the destination, and directly rose into the clouds and flew into the distance, while Hao Ren and the others followed Marshal Ofra to the Giant Tree of Life in the teleportation array.The other group to Sunset Volcano was headed by the Pope.Of course, the spatial teleportation speed was faster, and when Hao Ren and the others arrived around the Giant Tree of Life, the excavator force was still flying on the road, just to give everyone a little time to look at the surrounding scenery.The Giant Tree of Life is located in a vast and vibrant mountainous area, surrounded by gentle mountains, forming a low-lying basin with dense jungle and greenery.The Radiant Cult's stronghold in this area is an old monastery located on a nearby hill.The building is as old and unremarkable as the other two churches in the Sealed Lands, but it is one of the oldest and most sacred facilities in the world.The teleportation array near the Tree of Life is set up directly next to the church of the monastery: the Knights of the Kingdom do not have a garrison here, and the entire Tree of Life is under the sole responsibility of the Radiant Cult, and the king only has a few symbolic knights here, and they live directly in the monastery.Compared to the desolate and eerie Dragonspine Mountains and the harsh Sunset Volcano, the area around the Living Tree lives up to its name, and it is a pleasant place with a vibrant environment, and no one can associate it with a terrifying ancient legend from the outside: presumably because of this, Halletta has less control over the Living Tree than the other two places, unlike other places where Kingdom Knights and Church Knights are stationed at the same time.Hao Ren and the others stood at the gate of the monastery, looking at the mountains and mountains in front of them, surrounded by mountains and green trees, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy.Elizabeth quickly climbed onto her father's shoulder, opened her throat and shouted at the distant mountain: "Mountain, lala......"
The princess of the demon world is actually quite innocent - when she doesn't dismantle things.Lily couldn't hold on to the bright scenery around her, and scurried around the hill several times like a convulsion before settling down, clutching a large handful of stones in her hand: "Landlord, which one do you think is more beautiful?"
”Hao Ren picked a stone at random to coax Lily back, curiously looking at the mountains and the strange-looking domed peak in the middle of the basin surrounded by mountains (its shape is a bit similar to a volcano, which is particularly eye-catching), and after looking for a long time, he didn't find the shadow of the giant tree of life, "Ofrah, where is the tree you are talking about?"
”Ophora raised his hand and pointed to the middle of the basin, "That's it—that's all that's left of the Tree of Life." ”Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the other party was referring to the strange dome "mountain" in the center of the basin!"
I'll you......"
Hao Ren didn't say anything, but the first one to jump up was Lily, who was fiddling with the stones, "It's so big?!"
”Hao Ren hurriedly concentrated on it at this time, and finally saw some clues from the strange peak: its "mountain" appeared too regular, and the upper part appeared to be so uniform in thickness that it did not look like a normal peak, and in the surrounding wilderness, a large number of zigzag bulges could be seen.At first, he thought it was a mountain, but now he realized that it was the roots of a tree growing out of the ground!
This is the remains of the Tree of Life, and now there is only one stump left, but just from the mountain-like stump, you can still see how impressive its former size was, and perhaps its canopy could even reach the top of the atmosphere!
However, the giant tree has been dead for more than 10,000 years, and the upper part of it has long since collapsed into the soil and rocks of the entire basin.Today, it is jet-black and full of vegetation, with dense woods and shrubs spreading along its steep trunks, making it almost indistinguishable from the surrounding peaks.Hao Ren took a breath: "This whole thing is a tree......"
Before he finished speaking, Doudou immediately poked his little head out of his neckline, and the little guy saw the peaks and mountains in front of him, and the whole fish "banged" and straightened up all of a sudden: "I can eat for a long time!"
It's been a long time!
Dad can eat for a long time......"
At this time, there happened to be a Holleta military attache standing next to him, and this military attache was stunned when he saw Doudou: "What is this?"
”But he quickly glanced at Hao Ren, and quickly reined in the rude look on his face, and coughed with a strange expression: "Ahem, I'm sorry, I forgot that you are a different foreigner from us, and the people of Holleta don't have this kind of doppelganger......"
Hao Ren didn't have time to explain: "......?
”At this time, Doudou happily jumped out by the collar of his clothes, and pulled Hao Ren's clothes and shook them vigorously: "Dad, I want to eat, eat!"
”Seeing this, a group of Halletta officials around them immediately showed abrupt expressions, and a few recorders who looked like scholars hurriedly took out small notebooks and wrote hard.Vivien's face turned red with a smile, and she tugged Ofrah hard: "Tell them quickly, this is neither a Gentile doppelganger nor a Gentile child!"
”Ophra frowned and waved his hand to his subordinates: "Stand still!"
Look what you guys look like!
”After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Hao Ren and Doudou, with a thunderous expression: "You two are father and daughter?"
What did you do to a fish?!
”Before Hao Ren could say anything, Lily next to him jumped up to join in the fun: "It's with a pot......
"Ofrah: "God, ......"
Hao Ren: "......
Can any of you give me a word?!
”Thankfully, the chaos didn't last long, and just as Hao Ren was having a good time—at least Lily, the heartless guy was laughing happily next to her—there was a sudden roar in the sky.The excavator brigade finally flew.The data terminal, which had been playing soy sauce for a long time, took off when it heard the sound, flew in front of Hao Ren to activate the holographic projection, and the image of a high-level elf technician appeared in front of everyone."
Sun King, all the equipment has arrived."
Hao Ren looked at the giant tree in the middle of the basin and nodded vigorously: "Let's start." ”A moment later, the engineering equipment in the sky let out a roar of engines, and then quickly dispersed to an altitude of hundreds of meters around the basin according to a certain pattern, while two special aircraft flew towards the center of the basin instead.The two aircraft hovered high in the air, turning on their respective elemental sensors, and the secrets of the depths of the underground were gradually revealed to all the engineering equipment operators.The Elim may be behind the interstellar civilizations in terms of technological prowess overall, but they still have other areas to be proud of—mining, gravity control, and deep scanning—all of which are crucial to their transformation of their planet into a chain of space islands.It can be said that this is a group of long ears with crooked "magic trees", and in addition to not being able to build spaceships, they have almost created everything that does not belong to their civilization level ahead of time.Elemental sensors that can penetrate hundreds of kilometers of rock can accurately depict a three-dimensional image of the depths of the earth, and the eldest son, who is sleeping under the giant tree of life, is quickly scanned and projected in front of Hao Ren's eyes through a data terminal.He saw the way the Tree of Life bound its eldest son: it was entangled with its massive roots, and even fused with it.The underground part of the Tree of Life is far more magnificent than the above-ground part, and deep below the stratum is a system of roots that stretches for nearly two hundred kilometers, and this system of roots and whiskers is entangled in an almost spherical shape, and the eldest son is located in the inner part of this spherical cage.The tentacles of the eldest son also spread in all directions, but they were basically entangled and confined to a certain range by the roots of the giant tree of life, and the two giant creatures with the same roots and whiskers were entangled and bound to each other, forming an amazing underground spectacle.The hairs on Lily's tail stood up layer by layer with a visible amplitude: "It feels so disgusting......
Vivien also frowned and nodded: "Well, it's like a dishwasher." ”This bat housewife occupational disease has been committed again.
