Archdemon

The elves and many affiliated races of Ankud had just experienced a war, and many of their relatives and friends had even died here.

But at this time, they had no time to grieve, and they had to pack up their things in a hurry and leave Ankud.

Many people outside gathered the bodies of the dead beside the tree of life, and some elves had begun to kneel under the original tree of life.

Looking at this scene, Huo Ling could not help but be attracted by curiosity and slowly approached.

The faces of these elves were sad, and some were collecting the remains of the dead.

In front of everyone was Dodd with a group of priests and middle and low-level elf priests.

These priests and priests were chanting the traditional elf requiem.

As all the corpses gathered together, the voices of these priests and priests gradually became louder.

Many elves and people of other races bowed their heads at this moment and began to mourn in silence.

And Dodd began to use his divine power to ignite the flames, and large pieces of divine power flames burned on these corpses.

These flames quickly purified the remaining abyssal magic on the corpses, and then enveloped the entire corpse. The flames burned very quickly. It took only a short time to cremate all the corpses, leaving only some gray embers on the spot.

Huo Ling looked at this scene, feeling neither sad nor happy.

Although there were many casualties, none of the people in the eighth group died, and they did not bring other low-level professional soldiers.

The only halfling, Abu, was also well protected. Except for being a little frightened, nothing else happened.

As a necromancer, watching so many corpses being burned, it is inevitable to feel a little wasteful.

However, thinking that these corpses were once comrades-in-arms, if they were used to make undead after they died, it would be a bit disrespectful.

As the flames burned out, the relatives and friends of these corpses began to step forward and collect the embers left after the burning.

The ashes of these corpses may be preserved by their relatives and friends, or they may be buried under a big tree in the sea of ​​trees.

For elves, dust returns to dust, born in nature and buried in nature is the best.

But now with the threat of demons, cremation is the only way to prevent the corpses from being insulted.

After most people left, Huo Ling saw that some high-level elves had not dispersed yet, and thought there was still excitement here, so he naturally did not leave.

Sure enough, not long after, Dodd walked in front of the fallen tree of life.

Huo Ling looked at this scene and suddenly thought of the ancient wood heart produced in the body of the sanctuary-level tree man elder that he had eaten.

The status of these tree men and the status of the tree of life are a world apart.

So will this tree of life also have a tree heart containing huge energy?

Huo Ling's guess was soon confirmed.

Some high-level priests and druids gathered in front of the tree of life, and they used divine spells or natural spells.

Then they saw the natural magic power on the remains of the tree of life begin to gather, slowly gathering towards the center of the trunk.

Finally, in Huo Ling's surprised eyes, a ball of emerald green light flew out from the trunk of the tree of life.

Almost in an instant, an unusually fresh natural fragrance rose around the tree of life. Huo Ling, who smelled this smell, instantly felt refreshed.

He looked at the green light greedily, which should be the heart of the tree of life.

The heart of the tree fell into Dodd's hands. After many priests and druids cast spells, divine spells and natural runes sealed, the fluctuations and breath emitted by the heart of the tree were covered up.

Finally, the light disappeared, and Huo Ling also saw the true face of the heart of the tree from Dodd's hand. It was not green, but a piece of white trunk.

Dodd took the tree heart back into the space equipment and sighed deeply.

The natural energy contained in the tree of life is extremely huge, which is a fatal temptation for any living being.

Especially at the moment when Dodd grabbed it with his own hands just now, even his mind was shaken, and he almost couldn't resist this temptation.

...

Even though the elves had taken away the tree heart of the tree of life, the elves did not leave this place.

They continued to surround the stump of the tree of life, which was only five or six meters high.

When the Balor Flame Demon cut down the tree of life, he naturally chose the most convenient height, so the stump was left in the original place.

Dodd brought the elf priests to the stump, and they cast a spell silently.

With the fluctuation of divine power, the remaining stump suddenly shook, and thisThe ground cracked.

The roots of the tree of life were pulled out from below, and finally, Huo Ling finally saw the reason why the elves cast a spell.

Under these roots, there were actually a large number of coffins. These wooden coffins were once buried directly under the tree of life.

Huo Ling carefully used his mental power to sense these coffins, and as he continued to sense, his eyes opened wider and wider.

In these coffins, each one was the corpse of a high-level elf!

Some of these corpses were in tatters, and some seemed to have been treated and almost recovered, but they were indeed dead.

At the first glance at these coffins, Huo Ling thought it was some evil secret method of the elves, using the bodies of the elves to nourish the growth of the tree of life.

But in fact, this was not the case. The condition of these corpses was still well preserved, and there was not even any rot.

It can be seen that although the tree of life used roots to connect with the corpses of these elves, it did not absorb nutrients from their corpses.

Or maybe it absorbed something that Huo Ling had never discovered.

Watching this scene, Huo Ling had thousands of doubts in his heart that could not be solved.

He saw a familiar figure in front of him, and Huo Ling remembered that he had seen this elf before. When he greeted Sylvia, this elf also looked at him.

Huo Ling walked to the side of the elf knight and asked softly: "What are they doing?"

Roland noticed Huo Ling when he came over, he didn't expect Huo Ling to come up and ask him questions.

His body became tense when Huo Ling approached, and the fear in his heart could not help but overflow.

Huo Ling saw this and quickly restrained his fear aura. He knew why the elf's body was tense.

This is the effect of the fear aura. The fear aura is like this. Even if a person has a firm will, when facing this aura, he will be subtly influenced and gradually become more fearful.

In the previous battle, Huo Ling turned into a red dragon and flew in the sky, killing a large number of demons with his dragon breath, which made the fear of the living beings gathered on him even stronger.

This also made him a little troubled from time to time, and he would scare people if he was not careful.
