Chapter 1087 This Half-Elf Cub Can Heal Diseases Better than the Elders? (10,000 Rewards Plus 1 Update)
Since meeting the army ants, Ash Moonsong has accelerated the team's march.
She no longer stops here and there, now she goes up a tree to pick a fruit for Grete to eat, and now she goes down to the river to catch a fish for Grete to recognize;
Grete is no longer forced to practice on the spot, which animal this hoofprint belongs to, which kind of monster that paw print belongs to, where to camp, and where to get water;
Instead, he led the team over mountains and ridges, through trees and forests, and kept driving eastward. Every day, we break camp at sunrise and rest only when it gets completely dark. We open roads across mountains and when encountering water... we directly use the flying technique when encountering water.
Working hard like this, in seven or eight days, we arrived at the outskirts of the Elf Secret Realm, near the contaminated area. The moment she saw the contaminated area, she subconsciously stopped and was stunned.
Grete also froze behind her. The moist mountain wind blew all the way from the hills at their feet, making their bodies sticky. Grete rubbed his arms involuntarily, shrank his neck, and stared at the hill opposite:
Across a deep, dark gorge, the woods on the opposite side were obviously shorter and sparser than here. Among the trees, you can clearly see patches of bald patches, but even the shrubs and weeds are growing weakly.
Gretel subconsciously unfolded his mental power and called softly. With his current mental strength, covering the other side across a mountain stream was just a matter of a thought.
However, no matter how you extend or call, the mountains and trees on the opposite side look lifeless...
In the perception of natural priests, this kind of death is more uncomfortable for them than deserts, snowfields, Gobi, and naturally formed areas with few living creatures. Not to mention, there is a twisted malice in the death aura.
"This is how polluted land is." Beside her, Ashe Yuege smiled bitterly:
"The trees are not growing well, the grass is not growing well, let alone the animals. In a forest of the same size, there are even fewer sambar deer than outside. Not only are there fewer, but they are also extremely ferocious..."
Grete gave himself the Eagle Eye Technique and tried his best to look around, trying to see what kind of cruel method it was. Not long after, I saw a black bird flying in the forest opposite. It circled in the air a few times and plunged down.
"Is this a crow?"
Grete was at a loss. The bird is shaped like a crow, has wings like a crow, and has a head like a crow. The only thing that doesn't look like a crow is that when it flies, it flaps not two wings, but four!
As he watched, the black bird circled twice and plunged down. When it flew up again, it held a snake on its claws, more than two feet long, with gray-black scales. Seven inches above the skin and flesh, separated into two halves, was a two-headed snake!
"Yes, things like this will grow on polluted land." Ashe Yuesong sighed softly:
"Not only did it grow an extra pair of wings, its talons also turned into eagle-like hooks, and there were actually teeth in its beak. When you enter the secret realm, you will see even more bizarre things...the land there, the land there …”
Her shoulders shook slightly, and she turned away, unable to speak any more. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and forced a smile:
"Stop talking, let's go. - Go south along this line and go all the way to the junction of the Fertile Forest and the Yusong Forest. There is a camp nearby, and Jasmine's father is receiving treatment there."
Ms. Jasmine’s expression changed. Beside her, Mr. Hawthorne took a step closer, quietly held her hand, and looked side by side at the mountains ahead with her:
How dangerous is this land where such monsters grow in just its fringe areas?
And her father broke into the depths of the elven secret realm and fought his way out, so he got a strange disease. How difficult must such a strange disease be to make the nearby elf healers helpless?
The closer she got to her destination, the more uneasy she felt. However, no matter how worried they were, with everyone rushing at full speed, Yuge Forest was getting closer day by day. Finally one day, Ashe Yuege took them in a different direction and plunged into the vast jungle:
"This used to be an important outpost outside the secret realm. Later, after something happened in the secret realm, if everyone wanted to enter the contaminated area to hunt, they would gather and prepare here. After withdrawing, they would also be repaired and treated here."
Ash Moonsong jumped on the tree with light steps, jumping from one horizontal branch to another, and from one old vine to another. This senior ranger moved in the form of a black panther, which was more comfortable than in the human form. He jumped and spoke at the same time:
"So the natural atmosphere here is also very strong. Every day, there will be an elder and his disciples stationed at the outpost. I and several nearby forest guards will take turns to patrol here...
It seems like there is no one there, but for hundreds of miles around here, every tree and grass is the eyes and ears of the guards. Even if we are near the outpost, we have to say hello to the guards first. Ah, here it comes..."
She suddenly turned into a human form, jumped up and down, and stood high on the treetops. After a while, he slid down the tree trunk again, with a raven high on his arm. The raven was completely black, with a metallic sheen on its feathers. It looked left and right with an unusual expression.
"Yes, I brought more people here this time..." Ashe Yuege held the raven on her left arm and introduced them one by one:
"This is Sissoyen, who has been here before. You should know him? This is Gret Nordmark, who is half of our family. These are his friends, Miss Serira, Bernard and Appa…”
"This is Ms. Jasmine. Her father is sleeping among the ancient trees in the camp... This is her husband..."
The raven's jet-like eyes moved rapidly, looking from left to right, and from right to left. After watching for a while, he let out a long cry, fluttered his wings, circled three times above her head, and then pierced into the deep forest like a sharp arrow. Ashe Yuege breathed a sigh of relief:
"Okay, the elder knows it and allows us to go in...come with me!"
Gretel followed her and walked deeper into the forest. This forest is indeed, as Ash Yue Song said, particularly rich in natural power. Just walking inside, he felt as if all the pores in his body were open:
"Don't be dazed! Follow up! Although this is just an outpost, there are also many magical defenses! Be careful if you lose your focus and get lost!"
Ash Moonsong called over her shoulder. Gretel came to his senses and quickly followed. This outpost seemed to have some special meaning to the forest guards. When they arrived here, Ash Moonsong no longer walked in the form of a panther, but returned to the posture of an elf.
Gretel is no exception. However, as soon as he returned to his human form, he immediately felt that it was too hard:
It doesn’t matter if you have one foot higher and one foot lower. It doesn’t matter if you use your hands and feet to climb up. Walking breathlessly in this deep mountain and old forest is really tiring, and I really can’t increase my speed!
"Sister Yue Ge, let me ride a horse!" He shouted, then summoned the phantom pony and climbed up. He let out a long breath, and his whole body collapsed:
The phantom pony summoned by a level 11 magician can adapt to all terrains except that it cannot walk in the air. What kind of sand, mud, swamp, water, it's like walking on flat ground. A mere rainforest is no big deal.
...Why did I have to suffer so much before?
Ai Xiyuege looked back at him with disgust and said nothing. It's hard to imagine that Gretel is at the level of a knight in terms of warrior level. I can't even walk in the woods...
You are actually lazy, right?
Gretel didn't care what she thought. Riding on the phantom horse, looking around curiously. After crossing two gentle slopes, crossing a green river, and walking for a short distance, my eyes suddenly lit up:
A wide forest glade appeared in front of us. More than a dozen towering trees form an irregular circle, with their branches and leaves stretching upward like a deep green well.
In the center of the deep well, three or four brick and stone huts are scattered here and there, surrounding a huge tree that is extremely tall and cannot be surrounded by dozens of people. In the small hut in the middle, smoke curled up from the cooking pots, and the smell of hot meat spread on the wind.
"So elves also live in stone houses? I thought you all lived in tree houses?"
Gretel whispered. Ashe Yuesong was about to step into the forest glade. He stopped when he heard the sound and glanced at him:
"We used to live in tree houses. But this is the front line. Every ounce of nature's power must be saved for fighting and healing... Instead of letting big trees twist and grow to create shelter for us, we should build our own houses. ”
Gretel was speechless for a moment. Ashe Yuege had already run in briskly, heading straight towards the hut with smoke rising from the kitchen:
"Grandpa Fahim! Grandpa Fahim! I'm back! I brought my friends to visit!"
"I've heard it a long time ago." With a creak, the door opened, and an old elf with white beard and white hair slowly came out. At the same time, several surrounding huts opened their doors one after another, and seven or eight heads poked out:
"You brought your friends here?"
"Which one is Selwyn's daughter?"
"Who is Gretel Nordmark you talking about? Don't say anything yet, let me guess..."
Seven or eight voices, you asked, I asked, dozens of sentences poured out in an instant. Grete instantly felt like he was in the emergency hall, facing a swarm of patients and family members——
God knows, since time travel, he has gradually established his authority in medical treatment, and this kind of scene has become rare. Gretel reined in the Phantom Pony and quietly stepped back a little, letting Ash Yuesong lead Ms. Jasmine forward:
"That's her, Selwyn's daughter. Selwyn's strange illness came on so quickly that she didn't even leave a message, and we didn't go to take care of her... Elder, let her see her father, okay?"
Elder Fahim, who had a white beard and white hair, looked at Jasmine carefully for a while, then he used his cane and green light spots like fireflies flew up and circled around her body. The old man nodded immediately:
"Okay. Come with me."
He used a cane and walked slowly towards the ancient tree in the middle, and gently stroked the bark. After a moment, the bark of the tree opened on its own, revealing an entrance that could only allow one person to enter or exit.
Everyone filed in, and Grete saw at first sight a huge tree heart in the center of the three-meter-diameter magic circle, sealing an elf like amber. His face was calm, but his skin was extremely dark, and his abdomen was bulging.
"Your father...has been sleeping like this for decades. Sorry, we haven't found a way to save him yet."
Elder Fahim said softly. Jasmine stared unblinkingly at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the heart of the tree. After a while, she suddenly turned to Grete:
"Is there anything you can do?"
"Him?" Before Grete could answer, a soft sound of surprise rang out from the crowd. Although there were no more questions, Grete also knew that they must be thinking:
This half-elf cub can heal diseases better than the elders?
