The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 295 Enemies coming from the sky

If a gun appears at the beginning of the story, it must be fired at the end.

----------

Abes was sighing.

On the one hand, I lamented that the news about the astral world had become so little known after thousands of years.

On the other hand, I am also grateful to the Mels family for their persistence.

They passed on the knowledge and heritage as perfectly as possible, even though they didn't know whether they would be useful or not.

Abbes died, and they did not stop passing it on;

The wise will perish, they have not ceased to pass on;

The first dynasty fell, the second dynasty began, and they did not stop passing on;

Entering the Nine Hells, no;

Return to the world and continue;

Even if they are deprived of the possibility of engaging in any other profession and are only allowed to be farmers and farm wives on a farm for their entire lives, the tradition still continues.

Kronos's grandfather did not give up the name and knowledge of the Myers family just because he had only one daughter;

Kronos' mother did not give up just because she became a peasant woman.

Finally, when the silver-haired girl appeared in the position where the golden coffin could be seen after a crack was opened, the Mels family also welcomed the return of a hero.

Abes once asked if they knew that they would be resurrected one day?

The answer is no.

"If we insist on saying that these inheritances have any purpose, maybe reading history can make people wiser... It can indeed give the Myers family a sufficient reserve of knowledge, a mentality that is not shocked by honor or disgrace, and a big picture view that transcends the increasingly narrow divisions of the Northern Territory."

After a short rest, the journey continued.

After Abes explained clearly what the source of the effect was and how to shut down the "router" with one blow like him, although the progress of the journey was still slower than a direct forced march, at least there was no need to worry about doubling the journey time.

Because, after entering the corresponding false scenery, the other few people will also try to find the source of the effect and launch an attack to rescue them from there.

"So, all we have to do is find this strange tree filled with dead spirits and negative energy and attack it, right?"

"It looks like that."

"By the way, that is a dead dead tree. Its shape is like an ordinary oak, but the connection between the root system, the crown and the branches looks like a banyan tree. The source is the impact of a large amount of dead dust."

Crimson chose to demonstrate the power of his flames.

Although its true body is not released, it just appears as a giant dragon hovering in the gray sky with its wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun.

However, since he possesses both light and heat, he is indeed the most convenient one to deal with.

Once he entered the wrong place again, flames would immediately gush out, and without being noticed by others, Crimson's eyes, which looked no different from those of humans, would switch to dragon pupils in a short period of time, scanning the scene sharply.

Once he finds the source of the effect - which Abes calls the "router" and the druid Anivia told him should be the "Dead Wood" in scientific terms - he will launch a second attack.

The probability of using the breath weapon continuously is less than one-third, but fortunately, they have no shortage of time and are not required to keep going non-stop.

As long as he paused for a moment - mainly to avoid exposing his human form, Crimson would suddenly open his mouth, and the next second, a stream of blazing flames would gush out, instantly devouring the undead tree.

Others would be able to see that, just as Abes's divine slash would send a golden light to the sky, Crimson's breath would send a ray of fire to the sky.

Equally interesting to watch is the way the druid Anivia copes with it.

Druid is a perception profession. Finding the vegetation with the most unique temperament - the atmosphere of undead dust clouds - from the fake landscape is an open-book question for her.

When she first encountered them, she did not find the key point to break the deadlock before Abes because she did not focus on sensing the breath of the undead, nor did she pay attention to the vegetation, but instead focused on whether there was the breath of living creatures.

To put it simply, it is like an open-book question, but the teacher did not highlight the key points, so where is the answer?

The title, the subtitle, the introduction, the preface, the little notes below, the appendix at the end, or the abstract pictures and jokes in the sidebar?

Not everyone can, like Abes, find the most threatening and representative thing in the chaos and launch an attack brazenly and accurately.

Now that the answer has been pointed out by Lord Abes, it is time for non-traditional druids to use traditional skills.

If the rest of the vegetation is rejecting the undead dead wood that was created by the impact of the undead dust cloud, then what the druid has to do now is to repair the relationship between the vegetation.

The magic of druids is like a spring of life, bringing a touch of harmonious vitality.

Soon, vines quickly began to grow on the towering undead tree as Anivia chanted her spell.

The rapidly entwined vines carry with them a powerful vitality that transmits the pulse of the earth and the spiritual communication of nature.

This caused the dead tree, which was originally out of place in the undead world, to be reversed immediately under the influence of this force.

"The snatch was successful."

As the illusory clouds and rain disappeared around them and the village disappeared, they took control of another "router" and moved the journey forward hundreds of feet.

And Abes also saw that at the top of the crown of the dead tree, what was flying upward rapidly this time was no longer golden light or fire light, but a thin fiber of vine green leaves.

……

Well, it should be fine.

The remaining two who had no intention of taking action were forced forward by Abes to try during the rest of the journey.

First is the revenge of a hundred people.

"Nightmare Ashes can't be used against plants..."

Bai Renchou pulled out the silver sword from behind him. The silver sword was still covered with purple-black debris like floating silk.

Even though he was a non-supernatural being who could fight Abes to a draw without using any supernatural power.

It can be said that his eyes are as sharp and greedy as a wolf's, while his body is agile and his movements are quick, like a ferocious beast ready to pounce at any time.

But, I hit a plant?

"It's not an attack, it's possession."

Abes corrected him and raised his chin encouragingly, "Just do it."

Having roughly understood what Abes meant, Bai Renchou made some slight adjustments before attacking this time.

Let your breathing and heartbeat calm down, and then adjust your state.

Thinking about concepts like acceptance and holiness, and then—

Bang!

The silver sword was wrapped in the ashes of the Nightmare, and with deadly precision and unparalleled speed, it was a swift and fierce slash of superb level, piercing through the gray air and accurately hitting something more core and deep into the undead dead wood.

At that moment, the tree that looked like an oak but was connected to a banyan tree was shaking violently as if it was struck by some divine power.

Then, a streak of purple-gray ash shot up into the sky along the treetops.

The final surprise is buried here in Sauron.

Abes originally thought that no matter how talented the other party was, it would take some time for him to become a time mage after being taught by him.

However, I didn't expect that some effects would begin to show up before I could officially obtain the rune and cast the spell.

When the next illusory scenery appeared again, Abes let Soran appear without any expectations.

Although both of them are not supernormal people, there is still a huge difference between him and Bai Renchou.

Although he had already told Soran about the rune book, he also asked Bingnai for a simple set of teaching methods to stimulate the activity level of the magic network through the magic radio.

However, from the beginning to the end, Abesi had no plan to attend classes during the few days on the road.

However, he showed something unusual.

Just when Abes thought that the other party was going to use his weapon to chop like Bai Renchou did, or use his shooting as a hunter to solve the problem, he actually chose to move closer and reach out his hand.

For a moment, the time around him seemed to stop.

The appearance of the dead tree he touched was also blurry, as if the thread of time was being plucked by an invisible hand.

It seemed as if he heard a ticking sound, but when Abes closed his eyes and opened them again, he found nothing.

And Soran twisted his fingers as if he was winding a clock.

In an instant, the entire dead tree with an oak appearance and banyan tree shape seemed to solidify.

This is weird...

Logically speaking, plants are not animals and cannot move on their own.

But Abes just felt it solidify.

The illusory black raindrops and clouds and mist around them immediately began to quickly decay, disintegrate, and finally turn into unknown dust as if the accelerator key was pressed.

In this process, the scattered transit nodes and the non-connected effect areas like the signal coverage of a "router" were gradually explained.

"Abe... Master Chizan, it's a seed."

----------

Plants need to spread their seeds as far as possible so that their offspring will have enough living space and the competition for resources among each other will not be too fierce.

The most common and impressive type of seed dispersal is that of the dandelion.

Although most dandelions will take root before flying ten meters, there are also just the right wind and terrain that can help them fly up to one thousand meters.

If they look down from a high altitude and regard the dead dead trees they have dealt with along the way as the result of the seeds spreading out and branching out, then they can infer the original source of the "seeds".

However, judging from the discreteness of the distribution term...

"It's not floating, it's exploding."

In addition to wind power, water power, and having animals carry the items (including fruit kernels and cockleburs that are directly hooked and not let go), there are some more powerful ways.

Those more powerful beings often have performances that conform to the boom phenomenon.

For example, it spreads through fire, explosions, mucus and air bags, which is quite intelligent and creative.

Australia's eucalyptus trees are an example of a plant that can spread through fire.

Its seeds are enclosed in a woody husk that only opens when heated to release the seeds.

It's like being in a roasting melon seeds machine, where the melon seeds surprisingly turn into popcorn in the next second.

In short, the seeds of Australian eucalyptus can take the opportunity to occupy the dominant position in the secondary succession after the fire.

Another example is Impatiens, its petals will continuously accumulate elastic potential energy during the maturation process. Eventually, when mature, the connecting parts of the petals become fragile and can easily break under the action of external forces.

Once broken, the kinetic energy generated by the bending and contraction can eject the seeds at a speed of 40 centimeters per second.

In short, Anivia, who understands and knows nature, has boldly put forward the idea of ​​the source of seeds after observing the locations of seven different undead dead trees along the way.

This also made Abes' heart tremble violently.

The opportunity to nip the thorns in the bud has arrived.

Although they cannot directly reach the star realm to eradicate the problem completely and cannot cut off the most important "optical cable" main line, they can completely focus on the secondary secondary main line which is the source of the seeds that cause the undead dead wood and cut it off.

Although it will not make the "routers" in other places lose their effectiveness, it can at least prevent more "routers" from being produced.

Moreover, even if you don't care about these, you don't want the path you came from to be blocked by a spray of seeds from the seed source.

Therefore, pruning is a must.

He did it right away. Soon, with a simple calculation, Anivia guessed where the source of the seeds should be based on the locations of the seven transit nodes he had passed so far.

And when they got closer, they saw a shocking scene.

A massive towering tree, the scale of this tree is so stunning that it is almost impossible to describe its grandeur in words.

If the overall shape of the dead dead trees they encountered at the transit node was like a banyan bush.

Then what you see before you is simply a banyan forest or a banyan tree forest.

Of course, according to conventional theory, no matter how big it is, it should be just an individual.

Its branches and roots are intertwined, forming a natural maze that stretches to the end of the sight and seems to have no end.

Looking from the outside, you can see that the bark is mottled and presents an ancient gray-brown color, but it looks more like blood scabs and wounds that have been sliced ​​open and solidified than a plant.

The biggest difference between dead trees and ancient trees is that there will be no mosses and parasitic plants on dead trees.

Because, being born from negative energy, it will definitely not give people a feeling of extremely strong vitality.

And just like the dead dead trees we saw along the way, under the huge canopy, countless aerial roots hung down from the branches, like millions of tentacles, piercing into the ground and growing again into new trunks.

These aerial roots are like pillars supporting the entire crown, making the whole look more like a small forest.

And the most important thing is that this time, it was not that there was energy shooting towards the sky from its crown, but that there was energy being transmitted from the sky.

The scanning waves gradually became more intense, and finally the entire tree canopy, no, the entire "forest" was covered with a terrifying black light.

There are enemies coming from the sky!

If a gun appears at the beginning of the story, it must be fired at the end.

If the astral world was written in the previous chapter, then it must appear at the end.
