Chapter 404: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

Doing things?

Looking at the news in front of him, Lin You was very surprised.

Being able to get the king to speak in person is probably no small matter.

But the problem is.

He is only at level eight now.

If there is anything that needs to be done, it should be told to the ninth-level lord in the principality. Why would it come to him?

Without waiting for him to think about it.

Two messages have been sent.

One is from Ji Xinghe, and the other is from an unfamiliar lord. They should be the information about the ancient tree of origin mentioned just now.

Without hesitation, he immediately clicked on Ji Xinghe's message to check.

"There is something called Origin Fruit on the Origin Ancient Tree. Collect some for me. One Origin Fruit costs one thousand Faiths. Five fruits can be exchanged for one Origin Crystal. It is effective for a long time."

One Origin Fruit, One Thousand Faiths! ?

Lin You was shocked and overjoyed.

It was really like someone sending a pillow when he was sleepy. He was just thinking about how to quickly get the power of faith, and it was delivered to his door so soon.

According to this calculation, wouldn't it be possible for him to upgrade to the ninth level if he gets 30 origin fruits?

It's a little too easy no matter how you think about it.

Obviously.

This origin fruit is not something that is so easy to obtain.

Lin You is not stupid. Since even the king personally asked for this thing, it is estimated that the difficulty of obtaining it is no less than the Orb of Faith itself.

So to be cautious, he sent a message to inquire.

"This thing should be difficult to obtain, right?"

After a while, the king sent another message.

"It's not low, because all countries are competing for it. Just do your best and don't take any risks."

Are all countries competing?

After reading the news, Lin You was shocked.

These countries are not just those on the original continent, but include the entire world! This is very difficult.

Moreover, the Origin Fruit can be used to exchange for Origin Crystal, which is likely to attract many ninth-level lords.

He is only at the eighth level now, and the king thinks too highly of him.

However, he did not refuse, but simply replied with a "OK".

After waiting for a while and seeing no reply, I clicked on another unfamiliar message.

As Ji Xinghe said, a lot of information about the ancient origin tree was introduced.

The more Lin You read on, the more frightened he became.

Because it mentions a lot of things about the origin fruit.

The fruit of origin.

A fruit that contains the power of origin.

Its function is very simple, which is to improve the resource level of the secondary plane.

That’s right!

It is the novice area used to train new lords and is also the foundation of every continent.

The resource level of the secondary plane will directly affect the training speed and overall quality of new lords.

This is absolutely vital for every continent.

To put it in a smaller context, it is very important to every country on the continent.

Because this is related to whether they can cultivate more top talents and thus strengthen the national strength.

As the country becomes stronger, the king can gain more benefits from it and naturally become stronger.

“No wonder.”

Lin You looked surprised.

He now finally understood why Ji Xinghe personally asked about this matter. Perhaps other lords who went to explore the center of the Nightmare Forest had received similar tasks?

He continued to scroll down and read the news, and it was exactly as he had guessed.

Moreover, a certain consensus has been reached among the various realms.

Those above the ninth level cannot personally participate in the fight for the origin fruit, otherwise they will be attacked by the joint forces of other realms.

That is to say.

This is a competition among the ninth-level lords in various realms and countries! Even many of the top eighth-level lords will compete for it.

So far.

Lin You finally had a basic understanding of the ancient origin tree, and also knew the difficulty of obtaining the origin fruit.

After reading the introduction about the ancient tree, he closed the interface and returned to the tree house.

The sky outside had darkened unnoticed.

The next morning.

As soon as the roosters in Huangsha City started crowing, Lin You was already ready and set off for the Holy Land.

It was early morning.

The sunlight in the distance passed over the mountains at the end of the sight and fell towards the holy land.

It's like a pancake just out of the pan, gradually turning golden.

There were few pedestrians on the street, breaking the tranquility of the past night.

However, on the floating islands, there are still many lords like Lin You who were teleported here early.

Some went to the secret realm, some went directly to the monster plane, and more were waiting for people on the platform.

Lin You walked through the loose crowd and soon entered the monster plane through the plane entrance on the central island.

It took another hour to teleport to the Mechanical Empire.

Finally, I arrived at the long-missed Nightmare Forest.

"Okay, let's go."

Lin You waved his hand and rode the Demon Emperor Dragon over the city wall, flew high into the sky, and headed towards the center of the Nightmare Forest.

What surprised Lin You very much was.

At this time, above the forest, there were many lords like him, riding on flying mounts and rushing towards the depths.

I can’t tell how strong he is, but his speed is no slower than his.

Obviously a ninth-order military force.

And the number increased, until finally there was one visible every hundred meters.

Are they all heading for the ancient tree of origin?

Lin You was surprised and carefully kept a distance from them.

With his current strength, as long as he is not surrounded, it should not be a big problem for him to escape if he encounters a ninth-level lord.

certainly.

It can’t be some old monster that has lived for dozens or even hundreds of years.

Just keep moving forward cautiously all the way.

He finally passed the outer area he had explored before and came to the deeper part of the Nightmare Forest.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Lin You uttered a doubtful sound.

He found that after reaching the depths of the Nightmare Forest, the surrounding trees began to become sparse.

From the original height of more than 100 meters, it gradually became only a few dozen meters high.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In the end, it directly evolved into a land and oasis covered with green grassland, extending to the end of the sight.

It turned out to be a vast grassland in the middle of the forest!

And in the clouds at the end of the sight, a huge black shadow standing between heaven and earth was looming.

It was like a big open umbrella, covering almost the entire sky.

In front of the black shadow, Lin You and the Demon Emperor Dragon under him were just like a speck of dust in the desert, extremely small.

"Is this the origin ancient tree?"

Lin You opened his mouth slightly and looked up at the vast ancient tree that gradually appeared before his eyes.

It is like a pillar supporting the heaven and earth, sitting right in the center of the oasis grassland.

The roots and rhizomes underneath alone spread out for dozens of kilometers.

Above the treetops live and soar countless powerful flying monsters, forming their own ecosystem between heaven and earth.

As soon as I got close.

Lin You felt an extremely strong breath of life coming towards him.

An aura that seemed to be tangible surrounded this world, and gave the ancient tree a layer of sacred glow.

"Haha, I finally caught up."

"From the looks of it, it should be about to produce the Origin Fruit."

"Let's hurry over and take up a good position. We must grab a few more Origin Fruits this time."

“Full speed ahead!”

Shouts came from not far away.

Lin You's eyes focused, and he also accelerated, following those lords from a distance.

Perhaps because of the fight for the Origin Fruit, not many lords chose to attack other lords at this time, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

Moreover, as the distance got closer, he also discovered that some of these lords were at level eight like him, which made them even less threatening.

soon.

Countless lords gathered towards the ancient tree of origin from all directions, forming an extremely spectacular scene in the sky.

Lin You followed the lords to land on the ground, found a relatively safe place, summoned some soldiers to protect his body, and secretly looked around.

It was only mid-morning.

But a large number of lords have already arrived.

Wherever the eyes looked, there were lords and soldiers of rank eight or nine from all walks of life, gathered in groups of three or two on the intricate roots of the ancient tree, making the entire oasis grassland gradually become lively.

Lin You felt extremely solemn.

He discovered that the eighth-level lords accounted for less than one-fifth of the total, and the others were all ninth-level lords, which were extremely rare in normal times.

If a fight breaks out, he might not gain any benefit.

Not to mention snatching the origin fruit.

"It's you!"

Just thinking about it.

A scream suddenly came from a distance.

Lin You looked over when he heard the voice and couldn't help but frown.

Because the person who came was none other than the demon lord who escaped from his hands yesterday using the directional teleportation scroll.

Guo Zhongxian seemed to have not expected to meet Lin You here, and his face instantly darkened.

"Why? You know him?"

A middle-aged man next to him asked in a low voice, glancing at Lin You indifferently.

Feeling the other person's aura, Lin You's expression changed.

Ninth-level lord!

That guy actually has a ninth-level lord accompanying him!

And there was more than one! He had no time to think about it, his body immediately tensed up, ready to teleport away at any time.

And at this time.

Guo Zhongxian also whispered a few words into the middle-aged man's ear, which immediately made the middle-aged man look unfriendly and stared at Lin You with deep eyes.

"Boy, were you the one who killed our Wuxiangjie people yesterday?"

There was undisguised murderous intent in his words.

Although it is not appropriate to fight when fighting for the Origin Fruit, he did not take a mere eighth-level lord seriously at all.

As soon as the voice fell, thousands of ninth-level soldiers were summoned to surround Lin You.

The other ninth-level warriors stood aside watching the show and had no intention of taking any action.

Because in their opinion, it doesn't need so many people to deal with an eighth-level lord, and this will only bring disgrace to their Wuxiang Realm.

But even so.

Lin You couldn't deal with that middle-aged man either.

Although he was unhappy, he still retreated silently, preparing to ride the Demon Emperor Dragon to escape from here.

"You want to bully people from our primitive world. Do you have our consent?"

Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

On an open space not far away, a team of ninth-level lords slowly walked over and stood in front of Lin You.

Lin You took a closer look.

It turned out to be the lord team of the primitive world! (End of this chapter)
