In the dense jungle, a black shadow is moving at a speed like a fleeting shadow.
With its short stature, it easily blended into the shadows of the ground.
At this time, it was early morning in the Northland, the sun was rising, and there was still some dew on the trunks of the trees in the high jungle.
The black shadow touched the dew, but there was no trace of it.
As if it does not belong to this world at all.
It observed everything around it proudly and vigilantly. These were important information, and after returning to the army, it would definitely be rewarded heavily.
Those damn druids would never have imagined that their semi-open sanctuary and devils could sneak in.
Thinking of this, the pride in its heart became even stronger.
But suddenly, a strong hand pinched its vitals!
It tried to use its speed advantage to escape, but the other party seemed to know its ability, and sealed its vitals tightly, making it impossible to escape.
Marvin looked at the mouse-like creature with interest.
This kind of thing is rare. Creatures like hell familiars are very rare even in the ninth floor of purgatory.
This kind of creature is rare without the breath of purgatory, and it is small in size, fast in speed, and can sneak. It is a natural scout.
In fact, if Marvin hadn't accidentally entered hell once before, and the hell legion contract on his body resonated, he would not have discovered this hell familiar.
Hell fiends have low combat effectiveness, and once they are discovered, they will have no ability.
Especially now that Marvin is already a legendary powerhouse, it is not a big problem to control a hell familiar.
He looked at the familiar with curiosity, and asked in a low voice:
"Little guy, I know you can understand me."
"Now. Tell me, to whom is your allegiance?"
…
Deep in the High Jungle.
Emerald Capital.
Several tall figures stood on a platform formed by the extension of a giant tree. Overlooking the entire druid's home.
Everyone was silent. A leaf slowly fell from the top of their heads.
"Another slice."
"The World Tree is dying."
"We can only sit and wait if this continues."
One of them looked at the fallen leaves with a serious face, and said in a low voice.
If Marvin was here, he would be able to recognize the people present immediately.
The highest levels of the Migratory Bird Council and the most powerful archdruids in the north gathered here.
Sky Fury, Mother of All Things, Azure Moon.
There is also an old man with a wrinkled face.
The old man looked very old, as if he might leave this world at any time, but there was still vitality in his eyes.
"So there are some things that we have to figure out."
The old man spoke very slowly, the next second. His palm suddenly burst into light.
In the brilliance, a piece of green ocean suddenly mixed with a little shadow.
When everyone saw that little shadow, a trace of haze appeared on their faces.
"Since the Viscount Marvin entered the World Tree, this has happened to the World Tree."
The old man shook his head: "As far as we know, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds in the near future—even from the moment he emerged, his strength has improved at a frighteningly fast rate. From an unknown boy to a strong enough to kill a god. By… "
"Anything that does not conform to the laws of nature may be strange."
The other three arch druids all looked at each other, wanting to say something, but they didn't seem to know what to say.
In the end, it was the mother of all who stood up: "I treated Viscount Marvin once. At that time, he was almost assassinated by Glennos and almost died under the curse of the dusk. We have been in contact for a while. I personally don't know Too convinced he was the one who stole the power of nature."
Sky Fury also seconded: "I fought alongside him. Lorant also doesn't believe that he is that kind of person."
The old man said slowly: "But we all know that Viscount Marvin's domain is [Shadow]."
As soon as this statement came out. The archdruids frowned.
This is also where they are most puzzled.
The archdruid in the north is supposed to be the guardian of the world tree. They guard the order and tranquility of the northern forest, but just recently, they discovered something was wrong.
The world tree, which had always been very dense, has withered!
This is not a trivial matter.
Throughout Feinan's history, the World Tree never withered.
The archdruids searched all the books, but found no relevant records, and the world tree was withering more and more rapidly.
Especially before and after the gods attacked the cosmic magic pool.
But the druids are very clear that the world tree has nothing to do with the magic pool of the universe. The reason why they can easily ignite the fire of order and protect the entire supreme jungle is because of the power of nature.
It itself has the effect of partially resisting the magic of chaos.
Even if the entire magic pool of the universe is destroyed, the mighty power from the sleeping ancient god of nature is still protecting this land.
The World Tree will also not be affected.
Then the reason must exist elsewhere.
The Council of Migratory Birds attached great importance to this matter, repeatedly scouted, and finally alarmed the speaker who had been sleeping for a long time—the old tree man.
After the old tree man woke up, he used the prophecy immediately.
The prophecy of the natural department does not rely on the magic pool of the universe, so it is not affected.
As a result, they saw the scene just now.
The mighty power of the ancient god of nature was stolen!
And that person is crazily absorbing this power, which is the root cause of the world tree's withering.
Because of the restriction of prophecy, they could only see clearly that it was a shadow.
According to the interpretation of the old tree man, this is very likely to be a strong person with the [Shadow] domain or simply a god with a related priesthood.
The shadow prince who was most likely to commit the crime had already been blown away by Marvin.
According to the news from the heavens, the Prince of Shadow proclaimed himself a god and fell into an eternal sleep. Obviously, it is impossible for Glenos to steal the mighty power of the ancient god of nature.
Then the remaining people seem to be very limited.
Just at this time. Marvin came into their view.
At that time, it was the time when Marvin called on everyone in the Migratory Bird Council to deal with Mingfeng together. The old tree man learned from the anger of the sky that Marvin had entered and exited the World Tree. Immediately became interested in Marvin.
Marvin's information began to be continuously sent to the Supreme Council.
The archdruids saw that even if they had always been on good terms with Marvin, they couldn't help being a little shaken—there was no other reason, Marvin's progress in the past few months can hardly be described as supernatural speed—it was earth-shaking!
Five months ago, he was still a second-level night walker.
Five months later, he became the plane destroyer, dragon slayer, and god slayer!
He single-handedly created the White River Valley, the first territory that ignited the fire of order in the troubled times.
He destroyed Feinan's black dragon with his own power, and his methods were ruthless, which made people's faces turn pale.
Such a growth rate of strength. Seems like a perfect fit for The Stealer of Force of Nature.
The old tree man didn't act immediately because of the opinions of Sky Fury and others.
After Mingfeng died, he quickly took measures.
The matter of Endless Ocean is actually just an excuse. Although the Archdruids are pedantic, they would not treat their compatriots like this.
His target is Ma Wen himself.
"If it's really him... what would you do?"
The Mother of All Things asked softly.
The old tree man looked into the distance, there. A young man was slowly walking towards them with a familiar in his hand.
"It's not him." The wrinkles on the old tree man's face became more dense.
…
Unlike the White River Valley, the druids did transform the highest jungle into a refuge after they ignited the fire of order because they had the support of the power of the world tree.
But this shelter is not a fully enclosed shelter like the White River Valley, it is a semi-open shelter.
Everything related to chaotic magic will be expelled.
This is also one of the reasons why Marvin chose to sneak into the highest jungle in a low-key manner. Otherwise, even this piece of land will not be able to enter. There was no need for him to hide his tracks.
After he caught the hell familiar. Naturally, it was an interrogation.
It's a pity that the hell's familiar is loved by the devil lords of hell. Also because of its strong secrecy ability.
Every hell familiar is dead-headed, hard-tempered, and has suffered a lot. It is difficult for them to spit out news by extorting confessions through torture.
Marvin was not in a hurry. Although the familiar from hell didn't say anything, Marvin had already guessed something.
The Hell Legion Pact on him will resonate, which shows that this guy is most likely from the hell where Di Luosi is.
It is even possible that it is the exclusive familiar of his grandfather—Diroth Crilland.
"Has he already dealt with the original Devil Lord? Or has he been dealt with by the Devil Lord?"
Marvin was still very interested in his own grandfather. In Lavis, he gets a piece of the truth. But Ma Wen felt that not everything the Grand Duke said was correct. What kind of changes happened to Di Luosi? This is what Marvin expected.
Marvin would be very happy if he could meet the family member who is suspected to have become the devil lord during this trip to the North—provided that the location is not a battlefield.
Everyone knows the importance of the World Tree. Hell and Abyss are trying to climb from the inside of the World Tree to the kingdom of heaven and conquer the troops of the gods.
Feinan's World Tree is one of the easiest entrances to enter.
It is normal if the devils are interested in the world tree.
Thinking of this, Marvin suddenly realized some problems.
After he entered the highest jungle, he didn't seem to feel the shock when he stepped into the highest jungle for the first time in the previous game.
It stands to reason that this is the first time I feel the power of nature everywhere here, so there should be a will check, right
Marvin subconsciously checked the data panel, only to find that the will test does exist, but the difficulty is only 35, because Marvin's will is too strong, he was directly exempted.
This is not surprising, Marvin in this life is indeed much better than the rookie who just entered the forest in the game.
But he clearly remembered that the difficulty of checking the power of nature in the highest forest was [60] points!
This kind of high-level data, he will never remember it wrong!
"Is there something wrong with the world tree?"
Marvin sneaked into a Druid village immediately to inquire about news.
Soon, he got a piece of news that corroborated his guess.
The latest order of the Migratory Bird Council ordered all druid villages living on the edge of the forest to continue migrating deep into the forest.
