Chapter 123 Insects covered with bark
We are a tree.
The earth is our mother;
The sky is our father.
We are a tree.
We get energy from sunlight;
We absorb nutrients from the soil.
We are a tree.
We are rooted in the earth;
We yearn for blue sky and white clouds.
We are just a tree
Recalling the tree nursery rhyme he had heard when he was young, Dagen slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing quietly in a valley, with a bright starry sky above his head.
The starlight fell, giving Dagen a cold feeling.
That is the starlight from a higher level. It is said that in the very high place of the fairy tower, there are all stars.
Dagen stood up, and the soft soil covered its legs, but with its strength, the soil could not stop its pace.
It stood up and moved in a certain direction. It walked out of the valley. It left in a certain direction.
······
After hearing that the iron-eating worm said that the big root had disappeared, Lu Pingxi immediately said: "Don't panic, take me to the valley first."
Hearing what Lu Pingxi said, the iron-eating worm immediately began to lead the way. It led Lu Pingxi to a valley where big roots were planted, but there was no sign of big roots in the valley.
Lu Pingxi observed the surrounding situation, and then said: "Don't worry, look carefully at this pit. This is not a pit formed by someone digging it out, but a pit formed by Dagen climbing out of the ground. This at least shows that Dagen Already woke up from coma."
The Iron-eating Zerg immediately calmed down after hearing this: "Yes, I was too anxious and didn't notice this, but where did Dagen go?"
Lu Pingxi squatted down and began to set up a formation: "Wait for me to set up a reconnaissance formation to track Da Gen's traces."
Lu Pingxi is familiar with this formation. He has set it up many times before. This is the formation he would use to find people or objects.
A few seconds later, the formation was completed. Lu Pingxi patted the ground, and spiritual energy was injected into the tracking formation. The next moment, a blue tree elf emerged from the surface of the formation.
Lu Pingxi was quite surprised: "The things summoned by this formation are different every time, which is strange."
As soon as this blue tree elf emerged from the ground, it immediately started running toward the southeast. Lu Pingxi and the iron-eating worm immediately chased after it.
They followed the tree elf and continued to move forward. After a while, they came to the place where the Lord of the Mountains died.
The Lord of the Mountains fell in the ruins, and its corpse formed a new wooden mountain range. Under their feet were all the roots and vines that were beginning to rot. In the distance was the extremely huge corpse of the Lord of the Mountains. The corpse fell there. It looks like a large horizontal mountain.
When it came here, the iron-eating insect noticed something, and its pace slowed down a bit.
It was quiet all around. Even if the Lord of the Mountains was dead, no animals were willing to come close. This huge body of the Lord of the Mountains still carried an invisible pressure. This pressure frightened the weak creatures and made them afraid to approach. .
In the sky, a giant eagle fell down. It turned out that it was the little flower demon and the others who got the news and rushed over. The group gathered together and then continued to move forward under the leadership of the blue tree elf.
They passed through countless stacked rotten tree roots, they stepped over countless intertwined vines, and finally, they came to the main trunk of the Lord of the Mountains. There were dead branches and leaves everywhere, and the Lord of the Mountains was dead. After a few months, the leaves have completely fallen and rotted, and they make a crunching sound when you step on them.
The blue tree elf kept moving forward, and stopped after crossing a tree root dozens of meters high.
They paused, and then followed. When they passed the tree root, they saw the big root.
Dagen, a huge tree stump, has its own hands and feet, and its face is on its body.
At this moment, it is leaning on the huge body of the Lord of the Mountains with its eyes closed. It looks like it is asleep. It is smiling, with its hands folded on its belly, its legs stretched out, and there is a lot of fresh soil on it. .
Big root, half body of the mountain lord, tree stump
It has no breath of life.
Where do you come from and where do you end up going.
Dagen and the Lord of the Mountains are originally one body, and the Lord of the Mountains is the upper part. Because it did not want to follow the traditional path, it broke its body, abandoned its lower body and left.
The big root honestly follows the traditional route. It takes root in the earth and grows towards the sky. However, it is only the lower body after all. It has no crown and cannot grow leaves. Its growth is slower than other tree monsters. Its IQ is also lower than other dryads.
It is equivalent to a disability, and its wisdom was taken away by the Lord of the Mountains.
But its simplicity has also been preserved by the Lord of the Mountains.
They are originally one, and at this moment, they are just returning to the starting point.
The iron-eating zerg felt very uncomfortable, but at the same time it was very happy. It recalled its own clan, the iron-eating zerg, which was also an all-powerful clan at the beginning, but in the end it completely declined, and now it is the only one left.
This may be the fairy tower, this may be life.
How cruel!
The giant eagle also felt the same. It knew very well that one day it would happen to itself. It said: "At least, Dagen lived a happy and worry-free life, but in the end he died at the end of his life. Many monsters were either slaughtered or hunted. , not many people can live to die of old age.”
The iron-eating zerg was relieved, and it was a blessing to live to old age and death, at least for Dagen.
Su Yu asked: "What is the story of the Lord of the Mountains and Dagen? What happened to them in the first place? Perhaps no one knows all this."
The little flower demon said: "It's a pity that it was not recorded."
Lu Pingxi nodded: "I can guess a few, but not many after all. They have all experienced tree growth that ordinary tree demons have not experienced. It may be a misfortune to future generations that they are not recorded, but it is not their misfortune." , we are also preparing and heading towards the seventh floor."
The iron-eating insect was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Senior, I am only at the fifth level of Qi training, I'm afraid."
Lu Pingxi said: "It doesn't matter. You stay on the sixth floor and wait until you reach the sixth level of Qi training before you come up. Let's go to the seventh floor first. The coalition forces will send people to contact you and communicate with other monsters." Just like other tribes, you can also cooperate with humans, which is much better than fighting alone.”
The iron-eating zerg nodded, and then followed Lu Pingxi and the others to leave here. As for Dagen, it was naturally left behind. Its destination was here, and it was reunited with its other half.
On the way, the iron-eating worm didn't know what it was thinking. It suddenly found some bark, and then wrapped itself in the bark. In the end, it actually disguised itself as a tree demon.
"From now on, I am just a worm covered in bark."
