[Main quest - save the creatures caught in the fire, and calculate the degree of completion according to the number of rescues.]
As soon as Shang Ke regained consciousness, he received the task of the system, and he didn't even have time to introduce the summary of the previous situation. In front of him was a burning forest. The trees that stretched for several miles were engulfed by the fire, and the heat wave was blowing toward the face, and the thick smoke made it hard to breathe.
Shang Ke was surrounded by active fire elements and realized that magic could be used in this world for the first time. However, there is no water source nearby, and most of the water elements in the air are evaporated or expelled by the flames, and the fire cannot be extinguished at all.
Time is pressing, Shang Ke can't think about it, he can only condense as much water element as possible, pour himself into a transparent, then rush into the fire, let go of his mental power, and search for life at the fastest speed. , immediately magically send them out of the forest.
There was a constant burning pain on the skin, the thick smoke chokes his tears, and everything around him becomes distorted and blurred. The long hair fluttered with the heat wave, the green eyes reflected the color of the flame, and the sweat beads that rolled down his body were all transformed into light blue water elements, and the stars lingered around him, entangled with the fire element. .
One by one, magical light groups were cast from his hands, traveling through the flames, tirelessly saving the suffering creatures.
With the passage of time, outside the forest, the rescued creatures gathered more and more, and the types were varied. They stood high, licking the wounds, and watching the small and brilliant blue halo in the fire.
The sky was gradually shrouded in darkness, and the vast forest still whined in the wildly burning fire.
Shang Ke's mental power was exhausted, and the whole person collapsed into a small river. The cool river water eased the burning pain, and also washed away the suffocating smell of smoke and sparks. Immediately, Shang Ke found that he could breathe freely in the water, and the water seemed to be able to replenish his vitality.
However, he was so tired that he had no energy to think about it. He let himself float in the river, reflecting the scarlet flames, and he slowly closed his eyes...
I don't know how long I have been asleep, but Shang Ke woke up to the sound of rain. When I opened my eyes, I saw a silvery water color first, and the tyrannical fire element around it had disappeared.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the main task - saving the creatures caught in the fire. A total of 671 creatures were rescued, and the completion rate exceeded 100%, and a bottle of healing water was rewarded.]
What? finished? Even a simple world is not so simple!
[Don't doubt the judgment of the system, the host has deeply realized the essence of heroism, sacrificed himself, and forged ahead. Please continue to maintain this spirit in future missions.]
It was the first time that Shang Ke could complete the task so easily, and it felt a little unbelievable. It wasn't until he swam out of the water that he realized it wasn't that easy. 90% of the skin on his body was extensively burned, the flesh was cracked, red, swollen and festering, which was terrifying. The originally straight long hair was like withered grass at the moment, and there were only a few remnants of the clothes left, barely covering the hidden parts.
Although there is the protection of the water element, as the mental power is consumed, the protection effect is getting smaller and smaller. He concentrated on the rescue, but he did not realize that he had suffered such a serious injury.
At this moment, a few low-pitched whispers suddenly came from his ears, and Shang Ke looked up and saw a group of creatures scattered around him. There are black bears, green sheep, sables, ocelots, foxes, sika deer, rabbits, squirrels, etc. In addition, there are some strange species that cannot be named and a dozen olive-shaped fruits.
Shang Ke began to think that it was just an ordinary fruit, but then he felt the life fluctuations in the fruit, and then he knew that it was the egg of some kind of creature.
Shang Ke stood up slowly, his scarred body, like a ghost, did not make the animals feel afraid at all. In their clear eyes, there was only respect and love for him.
There is an unusual spirituality in this group of animals, very different from those seen in other worlds, and this spirituality may come from the active elements of this world.
The tingling sensation on the skin made Shang Ke come back to his senses and reminded him of the healing water given by the system. Summoning the healing water, Shang Ke took a sip and immediately felt refreshed. A faint halo appeared on his body. The ferocious wound slowly healed in the halo, and the dry hair gradually became soft and smooth. grow up.
The surrounding animals stared in stunned eyes, full of surprise and admiration in their twinkling eyes.
Shang Ke raised his head slightly, his long black hair swayed lightly, his sword eyebrows were flying, and the slender eye tails outlined a charming arc, his eyes were as green and transparent as emeralds, and his full red lips were moist and dripping. The pointed ears are looming in the black hair, and the fair skin shimmers with a faint luster. The tattered clothes could not hide his graceful figure and extraordinary elegance.
Behind the charred rocks, a pair of deep eyes stared silently at this beautiful scenery. In the golden pupils, a beautiful figure was clearly reflected.
Just yesterday, he accidentally saw a blue shadow and rescued hundreds of animals from the raging flames. The process lasted seven or eight hours before the blue shadow disappeared from his sight.
After a heavy rain at night, the fire that had been burning for dozens of hours was finally extinguished. He followed the trail of animals and came to this small river, and then saw a scene that he will never forget.
This is an adult elf man, and an extremely handsome elf man.
Shang Ke didn't know that someone was peeping in the dark, because he was receiving information from the system.
This continent is called "Anglo", inhabited by several races such as humans, elves, dwarves, orcs and ghosts. Humans have the largest number and have established dozens of countries, large and small. Followed by orcs and dwarves, elves have the fewest numbers but the longest lifespans. These races have been coexisting peacefully for hundreds of years, and although there are fights from time to time, it does not affect the overall situation of relatively balanced forces until the appearance of the Ghost Race.
The ghosts live in the wasteland, live on minerals, are good at gold and fire magic, hate any plants, and cannot tolerate an environment with abundant oxygen. But elves like nature, and wherever they go, they always bring a vibrant green.
Hundreds of years ago, in the wasteland where the ghosts were located, the minerals were exhausted. For food, they began to expand outward, plundering land and minerals everywhere. The ghost clan is powerful and brutal, and can directly convert metal objects into combat power, almost unafraid of any magic attack and physical attack. The only thing that can harm them is the natural magic of the elves, and the forests that the elves live in are also the land they dare not set foot on.
In order to solve this serious problem, the ghosts used the human country they conquered to destroy forests and hunt and kill elves. In just a few short years, the elves suffered heavy casualties, and large areas of the forest were razed to the ground.
Soon, several human nations formed alliances with elves, orcs and other tribes to declare war on the ghosts. However, the power and ferocity of the ghosts are far beyond the imagination of other races. With the help of the power of human traitors, they designed to lead out the elf king, kill him, and then send people to destroy the natural sacred tree and the fountain of life of the elf tribe. .
The natural sacred tree is the mother tree of the elves, and it is also the place where all elves are derived. The Fountain of Life is the source of spiritual energy of the mother tree, which can give the elves abundant vitality and make the plants glow with infinite vitality. As long as the fountain of life does not dry up, the natural sacred tree can last forever.
However, the Ghost Clan used a magical vessel "Ghost Jade" to seal the Fountain of Life in it. The natural sacred tree lost its source of life and gradually withered and withered until it was uprooted.
The elves suffered a disaster and never recovered. They who were originally immortal, began to grow old and exhausted, and after several decades, died one after another. If the fountain of life and the natural sacred tree disappear, the elves will also be completely wiped out. There is no elves, which means that the mainland no longer has the power to destroy the ghosts.
The elder of the elf tribe, at the cost of his own life, kept a branch of the sacred tree at the last minute. As long as the ghost jade is obtained and the fountain of life is unsealed, the branch of the sacred tree is the last hope of the elves.
Since then, the alliance country and the puppet country controlled by the ghost clan have been fighting for years.
The number of elves in the war and weakening has rapidly decreased. After a hundred years, the pure-blooded elves on the mainland have almost completely disappeared, leaving only the mixed-blood descendants of elves and other races. Mixed-blood elves are far from comparable to pure-blood elves in terms of appearance, longevity, or natural affinity.
When Shang Ke crossed over, the pure blood elves had disappeared and the alliance was at an absolute disadvantage.
[Additional task 1 - Resurrection of the natural sacred tree.]
Sure enough, the main task was easily completed, and the additional tasks entered hell mode.
If you want to revive the natural sacred tree, you must first grab the ghost jade from the ghost clan, and then find the last sacred tree branch.
For the divine tree branches, Shang Ke was not in a hurry. Because he is the divine tree branch, or more precisely, the spirit transformed by the divine tree branch.
Now the two camps are at a stalemate. The ghosts are entrenched in the north, and they are destroying vegetation and turning the fertile soil into a wasteland. Only the puppet countries under their rule are allowed to grow basic food, vegetables and fruits.
The humans, half-blood elves, orcs, dwarves and other races in the alliance countries are looking for opportunities to capture the ghost jade. Only by resurrecting the natural gods and giving birth to new pure-blooded elves or even elf kings can they eliminate the ghost clan.
After receiving the information, Shang Ke turned his attention to the dozen or so olive-shaped "fruits" not far away. Before the natural sacred tree was destroyed, not only one branch was left, but fifteen eggs and fruits that could give birth to pure-blooded elves were also left.
Shenmu elves have been wandering around with fifteen little beings, looking for a safe place to live, and finally found a vast forest. They wanted to use the abundant natural atmosphere of the forest to breed elves, but the forest was also attacked. The destruction of the ghost clan.
If Shang Ke hadn't crossed, the Shenmu elf would have been burned to ashes in order to save the egg. Although "he" is a divine wood elf, he does not know how to use spells, and only possesses pure power of nature.
After counting, only twelve of the fifteen eggs were left, and three little beings disappeared in the fire.
Twelve eggs and fruits, twelve pure-blooded elves, are the hope for the future rise of the elves...
