Chapter 552: 550: Changes Occur Again (Yesterday's Update)
During the war between the Allied Forces and the Empire, the Allied Forces once summoned a cloud mountain giant that was powerful enough to change the topography and shape mountains and lakes.
This magical race existed in the wilderness, and its purpose was to turn the flat land into a land of ravines and hills. It was unique to that era.
However, the Yunshan Giants can only change the landform. To truly cover the earth with green, it depends on another ancient race - the tree herders!
As the name suggests, a tree herder is a living being that herds forest trees.
They existed in the late barbaric era and were active on every piece of land, sowing plant seeds and covering the bare earth with vegetation.
Only with plants can herbivorous animals appear, and only when there are more herbivorous animals can carnivorous monsters be born...
Only when the food chain is perfected can the reproduction of life form a closed loop and usher in a period of rapid development.
It can be said that tree herders are an important part of the prosperity of life in the Helka world.
However, with the development of the times, they, like the Yunshan Giants, were eliminated and abandoned by the times.
Of course, the destruction of the tree herders was generally the choice of the times, but it was the elves who directly led to their demise.
Elves also originated from the forest and were born from the World Tree. In theory, they are also children of the forest and the first to control the power of nature and elements.
However, the tree herders believe that they are more about intercepting the vitality of forests and plants, and are endlessly exploiting them.
Rather than maintaining and reproducing.
This was contrary to the tree shepherd's philosophy, and even led to a fierce conflict.
During the years when the elves became the protagonists of the continent, the elven pantheon hunted the tree herders endlessly, leading to the extinction of the tree herder community.
Groot, the tree herder, is the last member of the tree herder clan. He was born during the heyday of the elves' rule and was the last effort made by the tree herders to reproduce offspring.
However, when he was born, the tree herders had already declined drastically and could only hide from place to place.
It is conceivable how hard his life was during this process. However, it was also during this period that he met the red dragon Virgil.
At that time, the red dragon Virgil was still a young dragon, and he was an orphan who was abandoned by the mother dragon and could only struggle to survive.
Their meeting was a coincidence, but it seemed inevitable that the two abandoned people came together.
They helped each other and tried to survive.
No one would believe the combination of the tree shepherd and the red dragon, but they still relied on this contrast to carve out their own territory.
However, when the red dragon Virgil grew into a young man, he went out hunting and when he came back, the tree shepherd disappeared.
To this end, it searched the entire Old World, made friends with many people, and even earned the name of "The End Burns", but still could not find his elder brother Groot.
Perhaps the only thing that comforted him was the Isis Wine Spring that the tree shepherd Groot did not have time to take away when he left.
As for the tree shepherd Groot, where did he go?
In fact, it is very simple. During the time when the red dragon Virgil was away, the dark god Mara came and defeated the tree shepherd, then captured him alive.
At that time, Mara was creating his own kingdom of God. He found space fragments from the astral plane and pieced them together. He also drove anchors outside the main material plane to fix it.
However, barren land was not what Marat needed.
What's more, simply piecing together the earth is actually not stable and can easily cause soil erosion.
So, Mara captured the tree herder Groot and let him graze the forest!
The tree shepherd Groot did not refuse, because his racial instinct made it impossible for him to sit back and watch the land become barren.
Moreover, there is a saying that goes, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise."
It was because he was abducted by Mara and brought into the kingdom of God that he was able to escape the purge of the elves, survive the long years, and live to this day.
Even though the Dark God Marado had fallen and the Kingdom of God had become the Blood Moon Forest demiplane and was controlled by the vampires, he still lived peacefully.
The only setback during this period was probably when the Toledo clan just took over and the Grand Duke of Toledo approached the tree shepherd Groot.
At that time, he was quite humble and respectful, saying all the time that the half plane was mine and yours, and that we should build a beautiful home together.
It's also because Groot, the tree shepherd, really doesn't have any scheming. Although he has lived for a long time, he hasn't seen much intrigue.
Deceived by the Grand Duke Toledo's sweet words, he actually believed his lies and cooperated to complete the transformation of half the plane.
Thus, the Blood Moon Forest was officially formed!
However, just after the transformation was completed, the Grand Duke of Toledo turned his back on him. He didn't resort to any drastic measures.
Instead, it subtly set up a dark magic circle, polluted the essence of the trees, and spread the curse.
By the time the tree shepherd Groot reacted, his wisdom had been clouded and he became a puppet of the Grand Duke of Toledo, and also his final trump card.
The story wasn't particularly exciting, but it spanned a considerable period of time. After listening to it, Roy only asked one question: "Your Majesty Groot, have you ever thought of revenge?"
Groot lowered his head slightly, looking at Roy with a pair of eyes that had gone through time but were still pure, and said, "I am not human, but I still believe in blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
Luo Yi clapped his hands: "What else is there to say? Let's rush to Blood Moon Castle and destroy Toledo's lair!"
…
On the other side,
On the way to Blood Moon Castle, there is an unnamed mountain top.
"No, no, Your Majesty, please spare me! Spare..."
A fallen angel was held in the hand of Grand Duke Bruch. The powerful dark power rose, but it had no effect at all.
The rich blood magic power attached to the pair of claws that looked like chicken skin. It plucked out the black wings in a few strokes, then twisted the head and bit it.
As the blood flowed, it was visible to the naked eye that the fallen angel's breath became weaker, his skin turned deathly gray, his eyes turned white, and he became a mummy.
The old vampire's breath immediately became much calmer, and a hint of blood appeared on his pale cheeks, which quickly dissipated.
On the side, the Dark Werewolf Ancestor returned to human form, but his hands turned into wolf claws, dismembering a high-level monster forest giant bear.
First, he pulled off the hind legs, then tore off the fur, and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.
With just a few bites, he bit the bones together, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
The giant forest bear is considered the largest carnivorous monster in the Blood Moon Forest. An adult is five meters tall, with broad shoulders and a big waist, thick fat, and firm meat that is impossible to bite if you have poor teeth.
Of course, with a weight of more than ten tons, the amount of meat produced is naturally quite considerable.
But after a while, the dark werewolf ancestor tore it apart, and only the messy internal organs and skeleton were left on the ground.
For the dark race, eating is healing. After they finish eating, their injuries are mostly recovered.
The Dark Werewolf Ancestor spoke first: "Alessandro is dead."
The old vampire nodded slightly, but then slowly shook his head: "He only died once, he didn't really fall.
He has been managing this plane for thousands of years, and he has used more than one method to resurrect."
"But resurrection always comes at a price. Even if he recovers quickly, he will be weak for a while."
"So, this is our best chance."
"That's what I said, but taking this step would really mean we're at loggerheads. You're all from the same Thirteen Blood Clans, so I'm afraid it's going to be hard to explain, right?"
"Haha, given Alessandro's reputation and credibility, I wonder how many vampires wish he were dead. What's so hard to explain?
What I am worried about now is not him, but the illegitimate child who received the flowers!"
"You're right. Compared to the lonely Alessandro, the illegitimate child is the real trouble.
Not to mention the elite magic legion under his command, there are already four legends who have appeared.
"It's said there's a legendary assassin. Has he come? Or is he already hiding in the dark?"
"Based on the illegitimate child's style of action, bold yet cautious, I think the latter is more likely.
There might even be other legends as backup."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, let's stop being secretive and get to the bottom of it. Tell us how many people we can each invite."
"That's fine with me, but you speak first!"
"Okay, I have an appointment with four legendary masters, not counting me. As long as we give them the coordinates of the plane, they can come and kill us at any time."
"I have five people here, but I only have one request!"
"Sharing this demiplane?"
"Yours too?"
"certainly!"
The old vampire and the ancestor of the dark werewolf looked at each other, and at this moment, they actually had the illusion of sympathy for each other.
The old vampire sighed: "The natural disaster has ended, and the legend has also fallen.
In this era, the battle for supremacy is in full swing, and even legendary strongmen are forced to find a way to retreat.
Just thinking about it makes me shudder and keeps me awake at night!"
"I just hope it doesn't turn into a second Star Shining War."
"I don't want to either, but there's a saying in this world: things don't always go as planned! Otherwise, we wouldn't be so anxious."
"Let's get back to the point. Including you and me, there are eleven Legends in total. Even if we fall out, we can just slaughter all the Flower Territory Guards."
“It’s better not to. That illegitimate child has unlimited potential. If he escapes, it will be difficult for us to face him when he becomes a legend.
Therefore, it is better to persuade him with kind words and let him retreat on his own initiative."
"When the time comes, we will divide this half plane with our legendary status, each taking a piece of territory, and then sign a non-aggression treaty. That's all."
"That's something I can accept. Tell me, is Alessandro stupid?
They had the best resources but didn't know how to utilize them. They sent out so many invitations, but only the two of us showed up."
“In fact, it’s not necessarily that he can’t think of it, but that he can’t bear to do it.
After all, as time went by, he might have forgotten that this demiplane belonged to the Thirteen Blood Clans, not to him personally."
"You are right. In that case, we should go back."
"Let's go!"
The two legends left, not together, but one after the other, and in slightly different directions.
However, not long after they left, two balls of light rose into the air, one red and one black, emitting an astonishing aura, and went straight up.
They not only broke through the clouds and turbulence, but also broke through the plane barrier of the demiplane.
Finally, it shone brightly outside the plane, emitting strange fluctuations and transmitting to the distance.
Then, one by one, the legendary strong men, who were nowhere to be found, stopped what they were doing and looked up into the distance.
Their sight seemed to be able to break through the limitations of planes and distances, falling into the half plane of the Blood Moon Forest.
Each one of them looked excited!
