In the next few days, the elven troops scattered in this mountain range continued to hear news that patrols were attacked by demons.
At the beginning, the elves didn't care. After all, their entire territory was being invaded by demon troops. Although they successfully eliminated the demon Sellon and his troops, there were still two high-level demons like this. One is Ignatis and the other is Riska. Now the attention of the elves is on these two demon troops, especially the troops of Ignatis. They have already obtained Ser. After hearing the news of Lun's defeat, they are stepping up their attacks on the elves. There are too many high-level demons among Ignatis's troops. The elves and Ignatis' troops have been attacking each other in the past few days. Without taking advantage, the elves had no time to care about anything else, so they didn't pay much attention to the attack on the patrol.
However, they still strengthened their defenses. The patrol force used for investigation was increased from the original twenty to forty people. No more was possible. The elves did not have that many troops. Not only were these patrols everywhere Reconnaissance intelligence also targets attackers.
However, strange things still happened. After strengthening the defense, there was still a situation where the patrol team never returned.
Patrol teams of several hundred people were sent out in more than ten batches, but there were always one or two teams that could not come back, and even no news was sent back. As time went by, the elves finally became vigilant. They thought that there might be another one. A demon army was formed and was trying to break the encirclement and support the demon troops of Ignatis and Riska.
Therefore, the elves had to send a hero to lead the team, trying to find this demon army, and then find a way to defeat the opponent.
The leader was a druid hero, but when he led the troops out, he found that the demon army suddenly disappeared, and there was no trace of the opponent at all.
Even after they found the location where the missing patrols had happened, they discovered that the locations of these units were all in the east and west, with no rules at all. It was impossible to infer the enemy's actions based on the location of the accident.
Moreover, judging from the battle traces at the scene of the incident, it seemed that they were suddenly attacked in an instant. Very suddenly, the corpses of the soldiers left at the scene were also in a strange condition. Their expressions looked frightened, and their bones were broken every inch. , has almost reached the level of being crushed, and many corpses are already in disfigurement.
Even their weapons were the same. Not to mention the wooden bows and arrows, even some of the hammer weapons used by the dwarves were twisted into a twisted state.
I can't imagine what happened to the soldiers on these patrols, but what is certain is that the enemy is terrible!
The druid hero also asked the forest, hoping to get guidance. However, even the trees could not figure out the enemy's situation and could not point out the enemy's movements at all.
In the end, there was really no choice. The elves could only shrink their troops and reduce the frequency of patrol patrols. Even if they had to need information, they merged the patrol teams, increased the number of patrol teams, and added high-level units to them. , some Silver Pegasus knights and unicorns also joined the patrol.
… … …
In the sky, Roy looked down and saw an elf patrol on the ground. When he found out that there were many high-level soldiers inside, he couldn't help but sigh, knowing that someone like him would attack the patrol to obtain souls. Method, I'm afraid it's coming to an end.
With Roy's current strength, Roy is not afraid of those Silver Pegasus knights and unicorns in one-on-one situations, but if they are surrounded by dozens of Silver Pegasus knights and unicorns, Roy will not be able to take advantage of them. Yes, although he has the blinking skill, Roy cannot be caught by them, but if these patrols cannot be eliminated, the elves will know that he is weak and weak, and they will remember that he appeared in Sai The demon on the battlefield where Erlen was killed might send another dragon to deal with him.
Therefore, Roy could only give up hunting for the time being. However, he also attacked many patrols during this period and obtained a lot of souls. He estimated that it should be almost enough to make beacons.
And the most important thing is that he developed one of the abilities of the Dark Fruit, and this developed ability is the Dark Acupoint!
Spread out the power of the Dark Fruit and release darkness to the surrounding ground. All things within this range will be pulled into the darkness. After being pulled in, the strong gravity inside the darkness will pull people and objects away. Compression and crushing, if there is no strong strength to resist this force, it will become like those patrol soldiers of the elves, being squeezed to pieces.
Roy used this method to conduct a surprise attack on the patrol. He swooped down from the air and landed directly into the enemy's formation. Then he immediately opened a dark hole and sucked them in. This method of attack allowed the patrol to even reach the carrier pigeon. After the soldiers died, Roy released their corpses from the dark caves, and then left with their souls.
With this way of action, not even the forest can detect his movements...
It's just that Roy is no longer with the demon army after all. Facing a large number of enemies, he can only temporarily stop his actions.
So, Roy called to Fat Tiger, who was also flying beside him, and took him away with him.
With Fat Tiger, Roy flew a long distance before finding a place to land. This place was still within the forest. There was nothing we could do about it, but fortunately it was far away from the battlefield, so Roy thought it was okay. .
After stopping, Roy took Fat Tiger to rest under a large tree that looked very thick. This tree looked very old, but it was still leafy and green. It must be said that , the protection of plants in the territory of the elves is indeed very good.
After stopping, Fat Tiger ran out to hunt wild boars again. His favorite food recently is wild boars, and there are a lot of wild boars in this forest, so Fat Tiger seldom eats them every time. When returning empty-handed.
Roy, on the other hand, leaned against the bottom of the big tree, opened the system interface, and prepared to make a beacon.
He hunted a dozen patrols in total, and obtained almost four hundred souls. According to Roy's calculation, if this beacon did not have the ability to open the transmission channel, it would simply send a signal to Roy's positioning reminder would probably be enough.
But, what should the beacon look like
Just when Roy hadn't made up his mind, suddenly, he noticed that the ground was shaking!
At first, Roy thought there was an earthquake, but then he realized that the tremor was caused by the big tree he was leaning against.
Roy jumped up immediately, turned around and prepared to take action, because he knew that the elves had deadwood guards, and any tree might become an enemy.
However, what Roy didn't expect was that the awakened tree would slowly form a human face on its thick trunk. Coupled with the wrinkled bark, this human face looked... He looks particularly old.
"Someone is here again..." The ancient tree glanced at Roy slowly and said, "Oh, I didn't expect it to be a demon..."
Roy said nothing, but looked at the ancient tree warily.
After the ancient tree finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Well, it doesn't matter to the devil. The inheritance of knowledge is great and there should be no distinction between races... So, devil, what question do you want to ask me? ?”
Seeing the expectant look on Gu Shu's face without any intention of attacking, Roy couldn't help but relax and asked curiously: "Who are you? Or, what are you? ?”
"Me?" the ancient tree replied: "I don't know who I am... I don't have a name, but I am the Silena Ancient Tree! Don't you know?"
"S... Silena ancient tree!?" Roy was also surprised. He didn't expect to encounter an ancient Silena tree here!
In the game, the Silena Ancient Tree can upgrade the visiting heroes, but this is obviously the real world, and I don’t know what the Silena Ancient Tree does, so he asked: "You just seemed to say , can I ask you a question?"
"Yes, I am Silena Ancient Tree, the longest-lived tree species. The long years have taught me many things!" The ancient tree said in an old voice: "Every traveler passing by likes to ask me for help. , I hope to use my accumulated knowledge to help them answer their doubts, and in return, they will also talk to me about some of their experiences during the journey, so that I can absorb fresh knowledge... Well, in fact, in my long life, Among them, I have also met other demons like you, and they have also talked to me about the world they live in - the abyss! I am also very curious about your world... "
"Can I ask any questions?" Roy asked.
"Yes, as long as it is knowledge I know, I will tell you!" Silena Ancient Tree said: "I just hope you won't be like the demons I met before. After asking me questions, you always want to kill me. …”
"But you still exist now. Does that mean those demons didn't succeed?" Roy said.
"Of course, knowledge is power!" Silena Ancient Tree said in a proud tone: "Those stupid demons, they don't seem to know this."
Although he was mocked by the Silena Ancient Tree's map cannons, Roy didn't take it to heart. He only needed to know that this ancient tree seemed to be very powerful.
"Come on, ask me questions!" Silena Ancient Tree said expectantly: "Similarly, I am also looking forward to what you will see during the journey."
What should I ask? Roy was thinking about it, and at the same time, an idea came to him.
Perhaps, this Silena ancient tree can be used by myself...
