Chapter 335 Convergence
As soon as Ian opened his eyes, he saw a gleaming arrow pointing at him, but luckily the arrow was still on the string.

At the same time, a series of questions were thrown at Ian:
"Who are you? What are you doing here?..."

Ian raised his head unhurriedly, the figure with bow and arrow, wearing a dark green cloak, his breath was very faint and faint.

However, it was still possible to tell that the cloaked man in front of him spoke human language, but it was not a human being, but an elf.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking me, Elf!" Ian asked back.

Even though he was pointed at by the arrow, Ian was not in a hurry because he didn't feel any danger from the elf.

In other words, this elf had no intention of attacking him from the very beginning

Otherwise, he would have been awakened long ago instead of waiting until he woke up naturally.

"Legolas, Prince of the Elf!" the Elf replied and asked, "Human, who are you?"

'Legolas? Ian was slightly startled. He thought it was just an ordinary elf, but he didn't expect to be a famous elf prince.

As a member of the future Fellowship of the Ring, Legolas is undoubtedly the main character, with a special focus on the dimension.

Ian already sensed that the imprint of the black ball's power had become active and was absorbing some mysterious aura.

This made Ian happy. According to the current speed, the power imprint of the black ball will soon be connected with the main body.

The unhappiness of being pointed at with an arrow disappeared in this instant!

Then he answered Legolas, "Ian, a human bounty hunter."

This is his identity in this dimension, and there is nothing to hide.

"Bounty hunter? Why are you here?" Legolas was a little surprised

Of course he knew about the group of bounty hunters, but in his knowledge, the strength of this group of bounty hunters was average.

Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for a bounty hunter to pass through the huge Mirkwood and reach the depths of the Mirkwood.

Ian didn't answer directly, but asked Legolas instead: "Legolas, can we put down the bow and arrow first, aren't you tired of pulling the bow like this?"

"Sorry, natural reaction!" Legolas put away his bow and arrows a little embarrassedly.

The relationship between humans and elves is not good, but in this place, the two are definitely not enemies.

And as an elf prince, Legolas is very confident in his own strength, even without bows and arrows, it is enough to deal with most crises.

Otherwise, he would not dare to break into the depths of the dark forest alone.

"It's okay!" Ian shook his head indifferently.

"What is your mission in Mirkwood?" Legolas asked again.

"Investigate the source of the abnormal behavior of the Mirkwood giant spider!" Ian replied.

Hearing this answer, Legolas frowned: "What else has happened to the giant spider recently?"

"The giant spider's nest has expanded to the edge of the Mirk Forest, and some giant spiders have left the Mirk Forest and entered the human territory!" Ian replied.

"What? The giant spider develops so fast?" Legolas looked tense.

He knew that the giant spider had started a new round of expansion recently, but he didn't expect that the giant spider's expansion speed was so fast this time?And it seems that it is not only in the direction of north?
"What's the difference between fast and slow? It's just a matter of time!" Ian shrugged and didn't continue the question.
"What about you? The elves should be resisting the invasion of giant spiders right now? As an elf prince, you shouldn't be fighting on the front line at this time? Why did you run to the dark forest alone?"

Perhaps knowing that humans were also invaded by giant spiders, Legolas did not hide his purpose:

"The purpose of my coming to the Great Green Forest is to find a solution to the giant spider!"

"Big Green Forest? It should be called Mirk Forest now!" Ian asked casually.

"The outside can be called the Mirkwood, but here is still the Great Greenwood!" Legolas said firmly.

Perhaps in the cognition of the elves, as long as the special power here is not completely dissipated, this place is still a big green forest!
"Okay! Did you find it?" Ian asked.

"Not yet, the ruins are too dilapidated, and nothing has been found yet," Legolas replied.

"Why did you come to the Great Greenwood Ruins to find a solution?" Ian didn't quite understand.

He didn't think that there would be a solution to the giant spider in the large green forest that had been destroyed.

If there is such a method here, how can the big green forest be turned into ruins?
Therefore, in this ruins, there is a high probability that there is no solution to the giant spider.

Ian is very clear that to completely solve the giant spider, the solution is actually very simple:
Just kill their blood ancestors!
However, this approach is currently not advisable.

The progress of his strength recovery is not satisfactory, and there is still a big gap from the fifth level.

Now go find the 'spider god' who is at least level five peak.

Even with Legolas together, Ian still doesn't see any chance of winning.

And because of the restrictions of the laws of this world, most high-tech means cannot be used, so Ian currently lacks the means to make a final decision.

The most important thing is that even if the so-called "spider god" is solved by luck, it can at most relieve the crisis of the wood elves, and it is impossible to completely restore the big green forest.

Because the root cause of the Great Green Forest turning into the Mirk Forest is not the giant spider or the 'Spider God', but the erosion of the power of the Demon King Sauron.

As long as Sauron's power is still there, even if the giant spiders are killed, giant moths, giant ants and other monsters will appear.

The result can only be to buy a little time, can not solve the fundamental problem.

It's just that the wood elves really need to buy some time now!
"There has always been a legend or a prophecy among the elves: If you want to completely restore the Great Green Forest, you must go to the core site of the Great Green Forest!" Legolas explained.

Hearing this explanation, Ian knew that he was just trying his luck.

There is only a large-scale location in the legend, there is no specific time, no specific location, and no operation method.

If Legolas can find a way to do this, then it can only be said that Legolas or the elves are blessed!

Although the possibility is very slim, Ian still tentatively asked Legolas:

"Have you found any clues?"

In fact, looking at it from another perspective, the Great Green Forest Site is indeed the key to restoring the Great Green Forest.

Because the entire Mirkwood, and only here is still resisting Sauron's power, there is a glimmer of hope for the recovery of the Great Greenwood.

If the power of the Great Green Forest completely disappears, even if Sauron is wiped out, Mirkwood will remain Mirkwood forever, and it is impossible to return to the Great Greenwood.

"I've searched most of the ruins, but I haven't found any clues yet!" Legolas shook his head.

Even before he set off, he knew that there was little hope.

But when he really faced this result, he was still very disappointed.

If the giant spider cannot be dealt with completely, even if the attack of the giant spider can be repelled this round, the wood elves will not last long in the northern part of the Mirkwood.

In the end, it is very likely that they will have to evacuate the Mirkwood completely like they evacuated the center of the Great Greenwood.

However, it is easy to leave the Mirk Forest, but it is very difficult to find a suitable habitat again.

Where else in the entire continent is suitable for elves to settle down?
Suitable places already have owners, and unowned forests are very common!
Ordinary ordinary forests cannot meet the basic survival needs of the elves.

If no suitable habitat is found, complete decline may be their only result!
"How many other areas have you not searched for?" Ian suddenly asked Legolas.

His goal of restoring a certain strength has been completed, and the goal of restoring contact with the earth is also close at hand, and he no longer needs to worry about it deliberately.

This trip to the dark forest is barely complete.

But after finally coming to the core area of ​​the Mirkwood, you have to bring some special products back, right?
There is a high probability that there will be no good things in the places Legolas has searched. If you want to gain something, you can only go to the places he has not searched.

"Only the most central part of the ruins remains, but the spiders patrolling there are too dense, and the forest cloak is not enough for me to quietly pass through the blockade of spiders." Legolas replied.

He knew very well that there was a high probability that he would not be able to break in by himself, and those giant spiders were not ordinary at first glance.

It's better to tell Ian that the two of you try it together, the chances may be higher.

Anyway, the two have a common enemy, and their goals do not conflict.

Breaking into the core guarded by giant spiders sounds dangerous for a long time?

But Ian still agreed without hesitation:

"Okay, let's go take a look first!"

It's just some silver giant spiders, at most they are stronger and more in number.

As long as the so-called 'spider god' is not there, there is no essential difference from other spider nests.

Even if Ian's recovered strength is limited, the ability he can use is at most about three levels, which is more than enough to deal with some miscellaneous soldiers.

The two carefully walked out of the ruins where Ian was hiding, and headed towards the center of the ruins.

But before going far, the two discovered an anomaly:
"Where are those patrolling giant spiders?"

"Maybe something happened in the center of the ruins!"

The two immediately quickened their pace, and the patrolling giant spiders were gone, so naturally they didn't have to worry about being discovered.

"Someone!" Legolas turned suddenly and rushed to the left.

Ian instantly understood what voice Legolas heard because he affirmed the talent of the elves.

So he caught up without hesitation: "Who is there?"

"I don't know who it is, I only heard that he was fighting the giant spider." Legolas replied.

Just after he finished speaking, Ian also vaguely heard the voices of human beings shouting: "Death... bug... kill..."

It's clear that someone is fighting the giant spider, and it doesn't sound like they're down.

Hearing the sound of the battle, a series of questions immediately appeared in Ian's mind:
'Who else would enter Mirkwood?Who can pass through the dense forest and reach the core of the dense forest? ...'

With these questions in mind, Ian and the two quickly saw the battlefield.

I saw thousands of giant silver spiders besieging a human being frantically.

No wonder I didn't see the patrolling giant spiders, they were all attracted here.

Surrounded by the spider swarm, the human with a two-handed sword made the clouds flow freely, and these giant silver spiders basically had one sword at a time.

The besieged humans seem to belong to the dominant side?
"Do it!" Ian and Legolas looked at each other, drew out their long sword at the same time, and rushed into the spider swarm.

These miscellaneous soldiers were not worthy of Ian's ability to use them, and the arrows Legolas carried were also limited, so the two chose to fight with long swords unanimously.

"Brother, work harder, let's kill all these disgusting bugs!" Ian shouted, killing them and joining them.

"Okay!" The man's sword speed accelerated again, and the killing efficiency was no lower than Ian's.

It was only at this time that Ian realized that he had the greatest strength, but his killing speed was no higher than the other two.

"Uh!... Are they all magic soldiers?!" Ian quickly found the root cause.

The three of them also used swords, but his long sword was indeed the worst among the three.

Although it is as sharp and strong as a magic weapon, it is not a magic weapon after all.

However, Legolas and the other person were using real magic weapons.

It's just that Ian doesn't know much about the magic weapons in this world, so he doesn't know which magic weapons they use?
'Legolas is an elf prince, and it's normal to have magic soldiers. What's the background of this person? '

Looking at the clothes, he also looks like a bounty hunter. It's hard to judge his real identity.

Ten minutes later, the giant spider was slaughtered,
The three looked at each other and smiled!
"Aragorn, Ranger!"

"Ian, bounty hunter!"

"Legolas, prince of elves!"

The three of them reported their names.

Good fellow, a prince, heir to the King of Gondor.

No wonder the equipment is so luxurious!
"Brother, can you still fight?" Ian asked Aragorn.

Legolas needless to ask, as a wood elf, he has a long-lasting physical strength in the forest.

"There will be no problem for another three days of fighting!" Aragorn replied confidently.

"Very well, the real battle has just begun! We have been fighting for such a long time, and it is unreasonable not to see a giant spider come to help!" Ian reminded.

There is no need to ask Aragorn's purpose here.

As the heir to the king of Gondor, he does not want to be a good king, but he wants to leave the king's crown and run out to be a ranger. There is no need to doubt his character.

There is not much difference between a ranger and a bounty hunter, except that a bounty hunter will collect bounties most of the time, while a ranger will not collect bounties most of the time, and they are volunteers.

He is not a king, but it does not mean that he does not care about the crisis of Gondor or the crisis of mankind.

In fact, he has always been very concerned about these situations, otherwise he would not have started to investigate as soon as the crisis loomed.

After Ian's reminder, Legolas reacted instantly:

"A major change has occurred in the ruins center!"

With the style of the giant spiders, unless they are held back by more important things, even if they know that they are dying, they will still continue to support them.

Without hesitation, the three immediately set off and rushed to the center of the ruins.

As for danger?

Since the three of them are standing here, they are confident enough in their own strength and don't care about the slightest danger.

There were no huge building ruins in the center of the ruins, only a huge tree stump with a diameter of over a thousand meters, which instantly attracted the attention of the three of Ian.

This must be a remnant of a sky-reaching giant tree that was interrupted.

Despite the vicissitudes of the manager, the fracture is still clear and ferocious, and no signs of life can be seen on the stump, but a breath of life can be felt from it.

"This is...?" Ian looked at Legolas.

"This is the sacred tree of our people!" Legolas replied.

"The sacred tree of the wood elves? Why have I never heard of it?" Aragorn asked.

"Who interrupted it? Sauron?" Ian also asked curiously.

In his memory, his understanding of the world of Lord of the Rings is limited to a few movies, and he has never learned about other backgrounds. Naturally, he does not know the history of the wood elves.

"The sacred tree has always been here, and it has always been like this. It existed earlier than our family settled down. We don't know who interrupted it. After the ancestors discovered it, they disguised it and hid it up, so few people know of its existence!" Legolas explained.

In fact, he just learned this information from the history of the Great Greenwood before coming to Mirkwood.

"These giant spiders should be planning to use the sacred tree to do great things!" Ian finally noticed the giant spiders surrounding the sacred tree.

"Don't let them destroy the sacred tree!" Legolas' tone became urgent.
