Chapter 123: Insects in Bark

We are a tree.

The earth is our mother;

The sky is our father.

We are a tree.

We get energy from the sun;

We absorb nutrients from the soil.

We are a tree.

We are rooted in the earth;

We yearn for the blue sky and white clouds.

We are just a tree

Recalling the tree nursery rhymes he heard when he was young, Dagen slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing quietly in a valley with a bright starry sky above his head.

The starlight sprinkled down, giving Dagen a cool feeling.

That was the starlight from a higher level. Legend has it that there are stars all over the place in the fairy tower.

Dagen stood up, and the soft soil covered his legs, but with his strength, the soil could not stop his steps.

It stood up and walked in a certain direction. It walked out of the valley and left in a certain direction.

······

After hearing the iron-eating insect say that Dagen disappeared, Lu Pingxi immediately said: "Don't panic, take me to the valley first."

Hearing Lu Pingxi say this, the iron-eating insect immediately began to lead the way. It took Lu Pingxi to a valley where Dagen was planted, but there was no trace of Dagen in the valley.

Lu Pingxi observed the situation around him and then said: "Don't worry, look carefully at this pit. This is not a pit formed by being dug out by someone, but a pit formed by Dagen crawling out of the ground by himself. This at least shows that Dagen has woken up from coma."

The iron-eating insect calmed down immediately after hearing this: "Yes, I was too anxious to notice this, but where did Dagen go?"

Lu Pingxi squatted down and began to set up the formation: "Wait for me to set up a reconnaissance formation to track Dagen's traces."

Lu Pingxi was very familiar with this formation. He had set it up many times before. This is the formation he would use to find people or objects.

After a few seconds, the formation was set up. Lu Pingxi patted the ground, and the spiritual energy was injected into the tracking formation. The next moment, a blue tree elf emerged from the surface of the formation.

Lu Pingxi was quite surprised: "This formation summons different things every time, which is very strange."

After the blue tree elf came out from the ground, it immediately began to run to the southeast, and Lu Pingxi and the iron-eating insect immediately chased after it.

They followed the tree elf and continued to move forward. After a while, they came to the place where the Lord of the Mountain died.

The Lord of the Mountain fell in the ruins, and its body formed a new wood mountain range. Under their feet were all rotten tree roots and vines. In the distance was the extremely huge body of the Lord of the Mountain, and the body looked like a horizontal mountain.

When it came here, the iron-eating insect noticed something and slowed down its pace.

It was quiet all around. Even though the Lord of the Mountains was dead, no animal was willing to approach here. The huge corpse of the Lord of the Mountains still carried an invisible pressure, which frightened the weak creatures and made them dare not approach.

In the sky, a giant eagle landed. It turned out that the little flower demons had received the news and rushed over. The group gathered and continued to move forward under the leadership of the blue tree elf.

They passed through countless piled rotten tree roots, and they stepped over countless entangled vines. Finally, they finally came to the main trunk of the Lord of the Mountains. There were dead branches and leaves everywhere. The Lord of the Mountains had been dead for several months. The leaves had already fallen and decayed. When they stepped on them, they made a creaking sound.

The blue tree elf kept moving forward and stopped after crossing a tree root several tens of meters high.

They paused, then followed. When they crossed this section of the tree root, they saw the big root.

The big root, a huge stump, had its own hands and feet, and its face grew on its body.

At this moment, it was leaning against the huge corpse of the Lord of the Mountains with its eyes closed. It looked like it was asleep. It had a smile on its face, its hands crossed on its belly, its legs stretched out, and there was still a lot of fresh soil on it.

Dagen, the half of the Lord of the Mountains, the stump

It no longer had any breath of life.

Where it came from, it will go back to.

Dagen and the Lord of the Mountains were originally one, the Lord of the Mountains was the upper half, because it didn't want to follow the traditional old path, so it broke its body, abandoned its lower half and left.

Dagen followed the traditional route honestly. It took root in the earth and grew towards the sky. However, it was only the lower half after all. It had no canopy and could not grow leaves. It grew slower than other tree monsters, and its IQ was lower than other tree monsters.

It was equivalent to a disability, and its wisdom was taken away by the Lord of the Mountains.

But its simplicity was also left by the Lord of the Mountains.

They were originally one, and at this moment, they were just returning to the starting point.

The iron-eating insect felt very uncomfortable, but also very happy. It recalled its own tribe, which was once a powerful tribe, but eventually completely declined and died. Now it was the only one left.

This might be the Immortal Tower, and this might be life.

How cruel!

The giant eagle felt the same way. It knew that it would have such a day. It said, "At least, Dagen lived a happy and carefree life, but died of old age. Many monsters were either slaughtered or hunted. Not many of them could live to old age."

The iron-eating zerg was relieved, and being able to live to old age and death was also a blessing, at least for Dagen.

Su Yu asked: "What is the story of the Lord of the Mountains and Dagen? What happened to them in the first place? Maybe no one knows all this."

The little flower demon said: "It's a pity that it was not recorded."

Lu Pingxi nodded: "I can guess a few, but not many after all. They have all experienced tree growth that ordinary tree demons have not experienced. It may be a misfortune to future generations that they are not recorded, but it is not their misfortune." , we are also preparing and heading towards the seventh floor."

The iron-eating insect was stunned for a moment and said, "Senior, I am only at the fifth level of Qi training, I'm afraid."

Lu Pingxi said: "It doesn't matter, you stay on the sixth floor and wait until you reach the sixth level of Qi training before you come up. Let's go to the seventh floor first. The coalition forces will send people to contact you and communicate with other monsters." Just like other tribes, you can also cooperate with humans, which is much better than fighting alone.”

The iron-eating zerg nodded, and then followed Lu Pingxi and the others to leave here. As for Dagen, it was naturally left behind. Its destination was here, and it was reunited with its other half.

On the way, the iron-eating zerg didn't know what it was thinking. It suddenly went to find some bark, and then wrapped itself in the bark. In the end, it actually disguised itself as a tree demon.

"From now on, I am just a worm covered in bark."
