Game of the World Tree

Frozen Valley.

One of the seven main cities of the Forest of Elves, according to legend, is the home of the Thunder tribe elves.

Thousands of years have passed, perhaps because there are too many monsters in this area, so that this city located in the valley is far less well-preserved than other elven cities.

Standing outside the valley, the whole city looks as if it has not been through a thousand years, but thousands of years.

The once beautiful elf city has long since disappeared, leaving only pieces of broken walls hidden in the messy bushes.

From time to time, the roar of monsters can be heard from the valley. It seems that many monsters have built their nests here, and occasionally there are traces of Xunlong activities.

Xunlong... It is a kind of sub-dragon that likes to live in the cold forest. It is good at thunder attribute magic. It is extremely fast. Its strength ranges from silver to high-ranking. , and even hope to be promoted to the gold rank.

"There are traces of Xunlong's activities!"

The players were stunned.

Xunlong is also a kind of Warcraft that is popular among players in "Even Kingdom", and it is very suitable as a magic pet mount.

An adult Xunlong is 1.5-2 times the size of a dragon-scale horse and 2-3 times that of an ordinary war horse.

They have more stamina than dragonscale horses and can assist in combat, and their much smaller bodies than other drakes make them more comfortable to ride.

Although the evaluation given by the system is only blue and rare, the overall strength of Xunlong is actually no less than that of the purple epic unicorn, and if you are fortunate enough to get a Xunlong king... that is the real purple epic monster.

The First Legion, one of the seven major guild organizations in "The Kingdom of the Elf", because the main city of Winterfell is adjacent to the Northwest Grand Canyon, it has captured a lot of Xunlongs in the nearby water tower, and even formed a team of about 300 people. The Xunlong cavalry unit is very powerful.

At this moment, it was found that there were many traces of Xunlong activities in the valley, and many players were excited.

This kind of highly cost-effective Yalong species of Warcraft is quite attractive to them. Even if it is not a mount, it can be sold for a lot of money!

"Let's go! Let's enter the valley!"

Li Mu gave the order.

And with his order, the players of the Heart of Nature Guild couldn't wait to act.

In the valley, many players have already begun to explore. This valley looks very big, and many people get into the valley and disappear.

In the valley, the temperature seems to be a little lower, and you can even see the white snow on the hillside, as if it is frozen.

This phenomenon is very unique.

Although from the map, the altitude of this area is relatively high, but it is far from the point where it condenses into ice.

I don't know why.

There are many monsters nesting in the ruins.

After entering the valley, the players of the Heart of Nature soon encountered a battle.

However, the people who participated in the exploration this time were all high-level players in the guild, and some of the silver-ranked Warcraft were not taken seriously by them.

The weaker ones fled quickly after sensing the players' breath, so the exploration along the way was considered smooth.

However, when passing through some areas in the ruins, the unicorn under Li Mu felt uneasy, which made him realize that there might be some more powerful monsters living in this ruin.

The ability to make unicorns feel uneasy, I am afraid it is at least the golden rank.

With the unicorn's warning, Li Mu also directed the large troops to avoid those areas.

But other explorers weren't so lucky.

After a while, the Heart of Nature team, who had continued to penetrate the Frozen Valley, heard angry beast roars from the area they had avoided, and the screams of players...

Accompanied by the startled birds, a huge figure roared out, spreading its wings and flying high.

It was a giant dragon eagle with white dragon scale feathers all over its body. It had the blood of a dragon, and its wingspan was nearly forty meters, which was comparable to an adult dragon.

At least it has reached the golden upper position, and it may even have embarked on a legend.

The terrifying coercion spread, and the players who felt it were a little frightened.

"Mom, fortunately I didn't go there..."

Looking at the dragon eagle, which was gradually going away, with a bit of the player's blood on its claws, Demacia said with fear.

"Everyone, be careful and follow me."

Li Mu said solemnly.

The background music that is different from other areas of the Elf Forest resounds in the ears of the players.

Profound, vicissitudes.

Coupled with the broken walls and ruins in the valley, and the cold wind whizzing past from time to time, people can't help but feel a sense of loneliness in the vicissitudes of life, as well as a sense of history in the changing world.

Looking at the vaguely recognizable elf building, players can't help but wonder what this place would have been like a thousand years ago.

There has never been a time when players feel that "Elf Kingdom" is more like a real fantasy world with a rich history than a game...

Ancient ruins, sleeping monsters, exploring adventurers.

If there really is such a world, such a journey...

Probably, nothing more than that.

At this moment, such a thought floated in the hearts of the players.

But unfortunately, it seems that the activities of Warcraft have seriously damaged the original ruins, and players have not found all the treasures they were looking forward to along the way.

Someone dug up some damaged equipment, but it was completely unusable. At most, it was sacrificed to the goddess, and some pitiful contributions were obtained.

Li Mu even found strangely that many equipment materials that should have been recovered had already lost their magical activity.

It's not like it dissipates naturally, but it's like being erased by something.

"I don't believe it anymore, I can't find something good!"

Looking at the pile of garbage dug up after a long time of waste, Demacia was not convinced and continued to dig with a metal shovel.

However, just as he shoveled down, a muffled sound suddenly came from the ground, as if something had been shoveled.

But before Demacia became interested, he let go of the shovel with a startled cry under the surprised gazes of the players.

At that moment, Li Mu seemed to hear a light sound like an electric shock, while Demacia's hands holding the shovel faintly flashed with light.

Accompanied by a burst of snapping noises, the taunting player who was already a high-ranking Baiyin twitched and foamed.

He opened his mouth, slowly spit out a smoke ring, and fell to the ground with a "click".

Li Mu was taken aback:

"Demacia!"

He stretched out his hand to help him up, but the moment he touched Demacia, he felt his palm numb and was shocked by an electric shock.

"Electricity?"

Li Mu shook his hand, looking surprised.

At this time, Demacia also slowed down.

He was sluggish for a few seconds, then jumped up from the ground in an instant, pointed to the place where he had just shoveled and said excitedly:

"Brother Mu! There is something down there! It's electrified!"

He is a warrior specializing in guardianship in the upper ranks of silver, and he is resistant to beatings.

This can electrocute him half to death, and the things buried are absolutely extraordinary.

Because it is definitely not ordinary electricity, but lightning in the magical sense!

Li Mu gave Demacia a strange look.

Although the luck of this guy's lottery is extremely poor, let alone... the luck of finding things in the ruins is overwhelming.

He still remembers that when this guy dug out the epic magic tome directly in Jade Leng Cui, and he still provides contributions to the two of them continuously.

"dig!"

Li Mu winked at his teammates.

The players nodded, replaced the metal shovel with a wooden shovel, and dug to the place Demacia had just dug.

The shovel is something that the expedition team always has.

And sometimes I worry that a shovel will dig something underground, so I often carry a wooden shovel with me. It hardens and expands, which is very suitable for this kind of work.

However, when the players dug down with a shovel, they were surprised to find that the wooden shovel, which had been injected with magic power, suddenly became discouraged and weakened after it sank into the ground.

"That thing can absorb magic!"

Some players said in surprise.

Absorb magic? !

Li Mu was even more interested.

"Put on the Crypt Silk Gloves! Dig with your hands!"

Li Mu said to everyone.

Crypt spider silk is a kind of magic material, but what players carry is specially treated, not only does not transmit magic power, but also has the effect of banning magic.

It's also a must for excavating ruins, because you never know what you'll find with a single claw.

In the forest of elves, there are not many large and small relics, and players have already dug out the experience.

And this time, they finally dug the thing out.

"Stone?"

Looking at what was dug up, Demacia was slightly taken aback.

It was a pale blue stone, and the coolness on it could be felt through the spider silk, and it felt like touching an ice cube.

Indistinctly, you can also see that it is covered with some natural but regular patterns.

Demacia took off her gloves, turned off the pain, and reached out cautiously to touch it.

"Snapped!"

Under the surprised eyes of other players, he saw a dazzling spark from the tip of his hand, and a trace of electric current flowed through Demacia, and Demacia twitched again, rolled her eyes, and foamed at the mouth. past...

At that moment, the players present seemed to smell the smell of barbecue.

Li Mu:  …

This guy is really a wolf.

He glanced at Demacia in admiration.

However, at this moment, Demacia's body suddenly exuded a halo that players are all familiar with, and under a ray of light, his body slowly disappeared.

And in the team channel, his ID suddenly dimmed.

Li Mu:  …

"Dead...dead?!"

He widened his eyes, looked at the stones on the ground, and looked surprised:

"What kind of stone is this?"

...

"Magicite! This is probably the magicite!"

In the emerald elf blacksmith shop, the elf blacksmith Carlos supported the monocle made for him by the players, and looked excitedly at the stone that was carried to the table.

Today, nearly five years have passed, and the scale of the elf blacksmith shop has long since changed.

The influx of a large number of players has brought a lot of free labor to Carlos, and there are more and more players who want to learn blacksmithing from him.

Over time, even Carlos does not know how many apprentices he has accepted due to the favor of the Chosen Ones...

Although there is still only Meng Zhihan who has passed on it personally, there are already countless names, and the emerald blacksmith shop is getting bigger and bigger bit by bit.

"Magic Stone? What is that?"

Li Mu asked curiously.

Their party had returned from the north, and with them came the stone that electrocuted Demacia.

Not just this one.

After the players dug deep, they found that a lot was buried underground, and a cart had been pulled back.

They are all lying in the blacksmith shop now.

"This is a very precious magic material! Or... a mutated magic spar!"

Carlos said excitedly.

As he said that, he took out a complex instrument and connected it to the stone, and the players were surprised to see that there were lightning bolts at the interface of the instrument, and the pointer for detecting the concentration of magic power also rotated rapidly.

"Magicite is a special kind of mineral that contains a wealth of thunder attribute magic, uh... maybe you haven't heard of thunder attribute, it is the mutation attribute generated by the combination of fire element and wind element in a certain proportion, and the power is extremely powerful. Big!"

"Unlike ordinary magic stones, magic stones can actively absorb the escaping fire element magic and wind element magic, as well as various other energies, so places with more magic stones tend to have lower temperatures."

Hearing this, Li Mu suddenly realized.

Now, he finally understands why the Frozen Valley is obviously not high above sea level, but the temperature is very low.

And Carlos continued to explain to the players:

"Magicite is very special. Although it belongs to a type of magic spar, because of its ability to absorb magic power, it is generally difficult to use the magic power contained in it."

"However, people who are good at lightning-type magic can do it, and it can also be done for lightning-type monsters!"

"Therefore, in places where there are many magic stones, it is often easy to gather a lot of thunder-type monsters!"

With that said, Carlos raised his head and looked at Li Mu and the others expectantly:

"Your Excellency Li Mu, where did you find this magic stone? Did you find so much? Could it be... have you found the Frozen Valley?"

Li Mu was slightly taken aback, then nodded:

"Yes, we've found it there."

"really!"

Carlos showed a look that was as expected, and continued:

"In the records circulated in my family, only the Frozen Valley contains rich magic carbide ore veins!"

After speaking, he looked at the players again and asked excitedly:

"Do you know where is the most magical place in the magic stone?"

The players looked at each other and asked:

"where?"

"Hey."

Carlos didn't answer directly, but put on gloves and took out a smaller magic stone, and chanted a spell in his mouth.

Under the surprised eyes of Li Mu and the others, they saw bolts of lightning burst out on the old elf, and quickly wrapped the magic stone. After a while... the light of the entire stone dimmed.

"Your Excellency Li Mu, touch it."

Carlos put away the lightning and handed over the stone.

Li Mu was taken aback.

Looking at the old elf's "try it, it's fine" look, he hesitated and touched it lightly.

"Huh? No electricity?"

He was a little surprised.

"Hey……"

Carlos smiled, took the stone over again, and chanted the spell silently.

This time, a swirling flame appeared in his hand, covering the magic stone.

After a while, Carlos dispersed the flame magic and handed it to Li Mu again:

"You try again."

Li Mu touched it and was instantly electrocuted.

"Ah this..."

The eyes of the players were amazed.

Carlos smiled slightly and explained:

"The most amazing thing about the magic stone is that even if the thunder attribute magic power inside it is gone, it can gradually convert it into thunder attribute magic power and store it by continuously devouring the fire element magic power and wind element magic power."

"In other words, as long as it's exposed to the air, the magic power lost inside it can be replenished bit by bit over time."

After listening to Carlos' words, the players' eyes widened, and their eyes on the magic stone changed completely.

As for Demacia, who had just been resurrected not long ago, she patted her head:

"Fuck! Isn't this a magic stone version of a battery that can recharge itself!?"
