Chapter 261 Threat

One week later.

In the middle of a deep green forest somewhere in the Dawn Forest, there stood a sturdy green giant tree, with a diameter of tens or hundreds of meters, supporting a huge shade of several kilometers.

There was a small round lake under the shade of the tree, and the blue water of the lake actually reflected the blue sky and white clouds outside.

There were small groups of various birds living on the giant trees in the forest, making cheerful calls.

Under the bright sunshine, the white and red birds chased each other, carefree, lively and cute.

In front of the giant tree root with wrinkled and dark bark, a figure was standing quietly at this time.

The figure was dressed in a black robe and had an ordinary face.

He did not show any cold or other expressions and looks, but he unconsciously exuded a kind of temperament that made people feel cold and weird. This person was Lu He.

"Do you think I am ominous?"

After a while, Lu He suddenly spoke, his scarlet eyes flashing with fluorescent light as he stared at the tree roots.

The black trunk began to tremble slowly.

With a buzzing sound, two dark green cracks slowly opened on the trunk, followed by the nose and mouth...

A huge human face slowly emerged on the bark, with clear facial features and a long beard on the chin, which was the black roots of the tree.

Although there was a beard, it was difficult to tell the gender.

Lu He found that he could not tell the difference between men and women, and he could not tell what kind of extraordinary tree this tree was.

There are many kinds of sacred trees of the elves, but they are basically derived from the three great ancestral trees.

That is, the Mother of Thebes, the Tree of Life, the Eternal World Tree, and the Kaguya Shadow Source Tree.

These three great ancestral trees have derived countless extraordinary races and extraordinary plants, which are spread all over the endless world, and the most representative of them is the elves.

Lu He has tasted the blood of Celya more than once and received her gifts.

So he knows that the blood of the half-elves in this world should come from the Kaguya Shadow Source Tree.

There are many sacred trees recorded in the Eye of Inheritance. As a wizard who is proficient in plants, Lu He basically has an understanding of the sacred trees and their characteristics within his authority.

But after observing for a long time, he found that there was no one who could match him, which surprised him.

Of course, it is not strange not to know him. After all, the world is so big and there are so many kinds of creatures.

"I never said you are unknown, but I just said that the breath on you makes me feel uneasy."

Just as Lu He was thinking, the tree face opened his mouth and an old and grand voice came out of his mouth.

Lu He did not comment, he smiled, "Then you have to admit that you secretly peeped at me in the middle of the night, right?"

The face on the old tree was a little stiff in an instant, and its dark green eyes showed a humanized expression of astonishment.

"It's not peeping, it's an instinctive reaction of mine to possible dangers in the future."

After a long silence, the old tree explained seriously.

Lu He laughed and retorted:

"How can there be so many reasons? You didn't tell the half-elf that I was unknown. It's up to you. I won't bother you. But you don't admit that you spied on me. I think you are quibbling."

This half-elf's sacred tree interested him very much. With his personality, he would have done it a long time ago.

But at this moment, he was arguing patiently, arguing with it, trying to make it admit its mistake.

The reason is that the old tree is very powerful.

Maybe the old tree concealed its breath. Even if he stood in front of it, Lu He couldn't tell its life level.

However, he could feel the vigorous and vast energy contained in the old tree's body, at least a hundred times that of his.

According to the division of the wizard system, this sacred tree should be a mature third or fourth level extraordinary tree.

Because the Eye of Inheritance said that the upper limit of the level of this world is the fourth level, it is highly likely that it will not exceed the fourth level.

On the other hand, if the old tree's life level really exceeded the fourth level, it would not try so hard to explain, and it would have directly sucked Lu He into the mother river with one root.

Of course, whether the old tree is level three or level four, Lu He is not very afraid, it just depends on whether he can gain something.

If it is level three, he wants to find some reasons to knock some good things out of the old tree.

If it is level four, then there is a high probability that he will return empty-handed.

Because the plant system is different from other extraordinary creatures, most of them are restricted by the earth, river or other growth environments and cannot move freely.

So when facing other extraordinary people, even if they are higher in rank, they are naturally at a disadvantage.

There was another long silence, until Lu He was about to get impatient, the old tree slowly spoke.

"What do you want?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he exposed his thoughts, but Lu He just smiled naturally and didn't feel embarrassed.

"I want the tree crystal condensed by your prophecy characteristics."

Lu He had a faint smile on his face.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he used a big move that went straight to the heart of the tree, and of course he didn't forget to threaten.

While speaking, a huge crimson flame shadow slowly emerged behind him, and in the middle of the shadow, a golden vertical pupil opened with a tear.

The bark on the old tree's eyes instantly squeezed together.

The expression in the dark green pupils changed rapidly, stunned, shocked, puzzled, angry...

Finally, everything returned to calm.

"I can give you what you want, but I hope you won't go too far." The old tree said after a moment of silence.

Lu He nodded and put away the strange vision behind him.

The old tree didn't say much when he saw this. After a moment, the big face on the bark froze, and the facial features quickly merged into the bark.

Then, a branch of the old tree that was as thick as two people hugging withered, and a large number of branches and leaves drooped and dried up. The leaves quickly turned black, curled, and then dehydrated one by one.

Soon, only one black branch hung down, hanging a few steps in front of Lu He.

At the end of the branch hung a fist-sized dark black bud, which slowly opened, layer by layer, and countless petals unfolded, revealing the innermost stamen.

Like a black peony, it was complex, gorgeous and delicate.

Suddenly, a drop of crystal clear pure white crystal rolled out from the center of the black stamen.

Lu He smiled and stepped forward to catch the crystal.

Having achieved his goal, Lu He didn't want to say anything more. He carefully put away the tree crystal, turned around quietly, and disappeared into the woods.

After a long time.

The extremely withered trunk on the old tree's body once again produced a new black bud, which slowly opened, and inside it bloomed a flesh-and-blood eye.

The eye stared at the direction where Lu He disappeared, full of anger.

It didn't know why this person knew that it could condense tree crystals, and it was a prophecy-type tree crystal.

Because this was a characteristic that they derived from the ancestor of Kaguya, and almost no other creatures knew this characteristic.

In addition, it was not that it had not been threatened for countless years, and there were even beings that were far more powerful than this person.

But the damage caused to it was at the forefront.
