Black Technology System: Beast Hunter

Chapter 224

"The elf tree is dead."

Hearing what Duan Muqing said, Zhao Dong was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but frown slightly.

But Duan Muqing thought he was surprised, and continued to gossip: "It is said that in the heavens and worlds, there is only one elf tree, and this tree of the elves is actually just a fake tree."

"Fake tree?" Zhao Dong blinked, not understanding the meaning for a moment, "You mean, the Fairy Tribe's Elf Tree is a pirated version?"

"It's about the same." Duan Muqing nodded ambiguously, "I don't know the specifics, it's probably the projection of the elf tree or a clone, anyway, it can only exist by being attached to the elf tree, and it doesn't matter if the two worlds are connected. , but after the Second World War, the dimensional channel was blocked, and the sub-dimensional area was completely isolated, so this projection could not obtain energy, and it naturally withered and became a dead thing."

Duan Muqing overheard all this information and didn't take it seriously at all. If he hadn't entered the Fairy Forest, he wouldn't have thought about it at all.

"I have also heard some theories." Zhao Dong touched his chin, as if sorting out his thoughts, "The Elf Tree is the foundation of the Elf Clan. All elves are bred from the Elf Tree?"

"That's right, newborn elves are like fruits, picked from the tree of elves, and then put into the holy pool to conceive for three to five months." Duan Muqing nodded.

"But the Fairy Clan is different. It is said that only second-class and first-class fairies are conceived by the Fairy Tree. Those third-class fairies are bred like us. They are said to be third-class, but they are actually slaves raised by the Fairy Clan.

"Then why did the elves choose a saint?" Zhao Dong suddenly asked.

"Then I don't know, this is the secret of the fairy clan." Duan Muqing shook his head, as if he was a little surprised why Zhao Dong suddenly mentioned the saint.

"All activities of the Fairy Clan are inseparable from the Fairy Tree. So I think the birth of the Saint is the same." Zhao Dong tapped his fingers on the table and said word by word, "Then Mei Yi..."

When Duan Muqing heard Zhao Dong mention Mei Yi, he originally wanted to make a joke, but when he saw his solemn expression, he couldn't help but become serious. Suddenly a light flashed in his mind and his eyes widened.

"WKAO." Duan Muqing leaned down on the table all at once, accidentally knocked over the vase on the table because of too much movement.

Seeing the vase rolling to the edge of the table, he hastily reached out to grab it, while staring at Zhao Dong with a look of discovery of the big secret.

Both of them saw the same thing in each other's eyes, surprise, suspicion and alertness.

Because they all remember very clearly that when Lei Yifan gave the task at the Heavy Hammer Tavern, he mentioned Mei Yi's identity, and she had just become a saint.

"Can the dead elf tree still choose a saint?" The atmosphere became more and more silent, and after a while, Zhao Dong broke the silence.

"It should... be possible..." Duan Muqing shook his head subconsciously, as if he felt that he was not rigorous enough, and quickly added, "I heard that the saint is selected by the high priest. Maybe there is another way."

"Yes." Zhao Dong continued to glare at Duan Muqing, and it took him a long time to come up with a sentence. He was not only responding to Duan Muqing, but also trying to convince himself that the messy thoughts in his mind at this time were just persecutory delusions.

Duan Muqing also felt that at this time, it was better not to make random suspicions. He said haha, stopped talking about other topics, and reached out to pick up the vase, trying to put it back in its place.

The vase is just an ordinary decoration, which can be easily bought in any small and exquisite shop outside, and there is nothing special about it. Duan Muqing just glanced at it just now, and didn't look at it carefully at all. The vase, glanced at it casually, suddenly paused, and then stood up abruptly.Because he stood up too violently, he accidentally knocked over the chair under him, and the chair fell to the ground with a muffled bang.

Zhao Dong was also surprised, but he didn't look at the chair on the ground, but looked at Duan Muqing with a serious face.

At this time, Mu Qing's baby face was full of surprise, as if he had seen something unexpected. Although he did not speak, there was a sense of anxiety in his whole person.

"What happened?" Zhao Dong lowered his head, noticed the vase held by Duan Muqing, and saw a red mark on the bottom of the vase, which looked like a fire phoenix.

Although Zhao Dong had never seen it, when he saw the fire phoenix that looked somewhat similar to Xiao Hong, he vaguely guessed that it should be some kind of special mark, specially used to convey special information.

Hearing Zhao Dong's voice, Duan Muqing came back to his senses, he had regained his composure on the surface now, but the light in his eyes was flickering, but it was an undisguised worry.

"Alas..." Duan Muqing seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just said, "I have to go out."

"I'll go with you." Zhao Dong didn't ask any more questions. He had known Duan Muqing for so long, and this was the first time he had seen him acting so rude. However, he did not pry into his privacy, but only expressed his willingness to help.

"Take care of Lao Hu, I'll be back soon." Duan Muqing hesitated to speak, but finally shook his head, then stopped talking and left in a hurry.

He looked very anxious. Zhao Dong stood up and looked out of the window. He saw Duan Muqing leaving the room and walked directly to the left, quickly disappearing into the thick green.

Zhao Dong frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and suppressed the inexplicable feeling of foreboding in his heart.

Turning around and walking to the couch, Hu Fenglin's eyes were still closed, but his breath was much more stable, and his face was not so pale.

Zhao Dong went back to the table, picked up the vase and turned it over for a closer look.

The imprint on the bottom of the vase is a little fuzzy, it seems that it was not printed by any means, but it can be determined that it is not the pattern that comes with the vase.

"The symbol of the Duanmu family." The system, which had been silent until now, suddenly said.

"You finally showed up." Zhao Dong's mouth twitched, but he did not pursue the system's inactivity and sabotage. He just said, "I just saw the family logo, so there is no need for such a big reaction. This should be some kind of distress signal. s things."

The system didn't pick up on this, but said: "This place is not quite right, you'd better be careful."

After hearing what the system said, Zhao Dong suddenly lost interest in exploring the mark. He put down the vase, subconsciously glanced at Hu Fenglin who was sitting on the couch, and said, "What did you find?"

"The space power here is unstable, especially in the southeast direction. Usually this happens, which means that a space channel has been opened recently." The system said.

Zhao Dong was surprised when he heard it. If he remembers correctly, once the space channel is opened, it will form a huge energy fluctuation, and it has not been sealed long ago, or not long ago, he and Duan Muqing were in a relationship because of the wolf god. , discussed this issue.

"It's not that passage. Someone used the space cracks to enter by force." The system said, "These cracks have always existed, but they are too dangerous, so very few people use this method. According to my analysis, the time when this crack opened , should be less than a month ago."

"Is it related to the Elf Tree?" Zhao Dong was confused and could only guess at random.

"I can't tell, it's not quite right anyway." The system responded, "You'd better be more careful and don't be careless."

The system spoke hesitantly, as if he had some scruples. The change from his usual business-like attitude made Zhao Dong feel quite uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but ask a question that had been pressing in his heart.

"Speaking of which, are you the system? Why do I always feel that someone has changed the core of you?" Zhao Dong has had this question for a while. Since the system upgrade, not only the sound has changed from the hard mechanical sound She became a lolita, and even her personality changed.

If the original system was just a smart terminal, just a black technology, then the current system is like a person, with not only joys and sorrows, but also a small temper, arriving late and leaving early at will, without saying hello to him.

Take this operation as an example, since he entered the sub-dimensional area, the system has been disconnected for nothing, and he always only speaks in half, hesitating as if he has been infected by some super virus.

"The energy is not enough, what can I do." When Zhao Dong questioned, the system immediately exploded, and he said angrily, "The environment in the sub-dimensional area is much worse than outside, far more dangerous than imagined, and you are so weak , I don’t save my strength, how can I help you at a critical moment, if you can’t survive, I will be unlucky too.”

Zhao Dong was left speechless. He had no choice but to say that he was really a weakling. Although his level improvement was not slow, he started too late. Up to now, he has barely reached level 31. But if he wants to To be able to come and go freely in the sub-dimensional area requires at least a strength equivalent to level [-].

After thinking about it, Zhao Dong also felt that what he said was too casual, speaking from the heart, without a system, he is afraid that he is still the frustrated person who will never have the chance to become a hunter.

Not to mention tracking down the whereabouts of his father and saving his sister's life. Fortunately, Zhao Dong has always been a person who dares to face up to his own shortcomings. He reflected on his own instability and was thinking about whether to apologize to the system when he heard the door panel. There was a soft creak.

Zhao Dong instantly became alert, adjusted his facial expression, and raised his head quietly. He saw that the closed door was pushed open a crack, and a pair of big green eyes were revealed behind the crack.

Zhao Dong's eyes came into contact with the owner of those eyes. Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhao Dong was still slightly frightened. Fortunately, he controlled his facial expression and did not lose his temper on the spot.

It was a third-class elf about one meter tall, wearing a somewhat baggy robe. He looked young.

Just now he only saw those third-class goblins working in the fields from a distance, but he didn't see their appearance. Now when he observed them closely, his appearance was really different from that of human beings. The legendary goblins are seven or eight points similar.

If he hadn't known about the composition of the goblin clan, Zhao Dong would never have connected the fairy-like Mei Yi with the goblin in front of him.

The green eyes did not speak, but stood behind the crack of the door, looking straight at Zhao Dong.

After the initial surprise, Zhao Dong didn't say anything, just looked at him.

However, the green eyes didn't seem to be interested in confronting him. They just looked at Zhao Dong silently for a while, then suddenly turned around and backed away. Zhao Dong subconsciously took a step forward and opened the door, only to see that the green eyes had already reached ten Meters away, he turned around and looked around. When he saw Zhao Dong standing at the door, he turned around and continued walking forward.

Although the other party didn't say a word, he was obviously leading the way for him. Zhao Dong did not follow him immediately, but just watched the green-eyed figure disappear at the end of the path.

It was in the same direction as when Duan Muqing left.

At this time, the strange feeling in Zhao Dong's heart had reached its peak. He thought for a while, turned around and walked to the side of the couch, first untied the restraints on Hu Fenglin's body, then raised his hand in mid-air, and quickly drew a simple formation.

With the last stroke, the formation was complete, and a faint silver-white light appeared, submerging into Hu Fenglin's body. At the same time, Hu Fenglin's figure began to fade rapidly, and soon disappeared.

This is a first-order stealth formation that can last for six hours, so as long as no one sets fire to the house, Hu Fenglin should not be in any danger.

After taking simple precautions, Zhao Dong immediately turned around and walked out of the room, walking forward along the path.

The surroundings were still quiet, there was not even a single figure, and the green eyes had long disappeared. If it weren't for the busy figures of third-class fairies in the fields in the distance, Zhao Dong almost suspected that he had walked into another Parallel space.

The small road is the southeast direction leading to the goblin tribe, Zhao Dong looked at the road under the shade, and felt more and more uneasy.

"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. I can't control so much."

Zhao Dong hesitated for a moment, and the strange feeling in his heart became more and more intense. He simply shook his head and walked forward faster.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but his footsteps became more and more urgent, and then he started to jog. Soon he saw a tall building appearing at the end of the road.

As he got closer, Zhao Dong discovered that it was not a building, but an entrance dug into the mountain wall.

On the mountain walls on both sides of the entrance, there are carved images of two elves, with a crown of thorns on their heads and a branch in their hands.

"That's the Elf Tree, not a branch."

The system's voice carried a touch of disgust, as if it felt that Zhao Dong was too unartistic, so he couldn't help saying.

"The projection of the elf tree needs to be drawn by the branches of the main body, but this kind of branch is the incarnation of the elf tree, and not everyone can get it. It seems that the identity of the ancestor of the elves is not bad, at least Qingyue Elf."

Just like the fairies, the elves are also hierarchical. In addition to the low-level elves and other ordinary elves who are driven as slaves, there are four main elves named Red Moon, Green Moon, Orange Moon and Silver Moon.

This is what Zhao Dong heard from Duan Muqing before. The system didn't say anything at the time, but now it sounds like it understands it very well. Zhao Dong couldn't help asking curiously: "Do you know the elves very well?"

In fact, he was just asking casually, trying to resolve the awkward atmosphere between the two parties. Unexpectedly, the system seemed to be disconnected suddenly. There was no one there, and he walked up the steps.
