The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 67: THE ANCIENT SYLLANA TREE

Initially, the elves did not pay much attention to it. After all, their entire territory was now being attacked by demons. Although they had managed to eliminate Xeron and his army, there were two high-level demons like him. One was Ignatius, and the other was Rashka. Now, the elves were paying their attention to these two demons, especially Ignatius' army. He had already received news of Xeron's defeat, so he intensified his attacks on the elves. Ignatius' army had too many high-level demons. The elves and Ignatius had been fighting for the past few days, but none of them had profited. The elves were too busy dealing with Ignatius, so they did not take the attack on the patrol seriously.

However, they still strengthened their patrols by increasing their size from the original twenty to forty. It's not possible anymore. The elves did not have that much army. These patrols not only investigated intelligence everywhere, but they also attacked the invaders as the purpose of their mission.

But something strange happened. Even after increasing the guard, the patrol team still failed to return.

Of the more than a dozen units, there will always be at least one or two units that will not return. There's not even any news. After a while, the elves finally became wary. They thought that there might be another army of demons trying to break the siege and support the demon army of Ignatius and Rashka.

Therefore, the elves had to send a hero to lead the team in an effort to find this demon army and think of a way to defeat it.

The leader is a druid hero. However, after he led the troops out, he discovered that this demon army had suddenly disappeared without a trace.

In fact, when they found the location where the patrol was missing, they found that its position was everywhere. There was no pattern to it, and it was impossible to deduce the movement of the enemy through these places.

Moreover, judging from the traces of battle in these places, they seemed to have faced a surprise attack in an instant. The bodies of soldiers left at the scene were also very strange. Their expressions looked terrified, and their bones had been broken inch by inch, almost to the point of being shattered. Many deformed bodies are unrecognizable.

Even their weapons are the same. Let alone wooden bows and arrows, even the hammers the dwarves used distorted into a terrifying state.

He could not imagine what happened to these patrolling soldiers, but he was sure the enemy was terrifying!

The druid hero asked into the forest in hopes of getting a clue. However, even these trees did not understand the enemy situation and did not know where the enemy was headed.

Finally, with no other choice, the elves could only shrink their strength and reduce the frequency of reconnaissance patrols. Even when they needed intelligence, they combined patrols, increased the number of troops, and added high-level soldiers into it. Several silver pegasus knights and unicorns joined the patrol team as well.

…

In the sky, Roy looked down and saw an elf patrolling the ground. When he discovered that there were many high-level soldiers inside, he could only sigh, knowing that the way he attacked this patrol to obtain souls seemed to be coming to an end.

With Roy's current strength, Roy has no fear of silver pegasus knights and unicorns on a one-on-one basis. However, Roy would not be able to face them if dozens of silver pegasus knights and unicorns surrounded him. Although it was impossible for them to capture Roy with his Flash skill, if he could not completely eliminate this patrolling force, the elves would know about the situation. They would think of the demons that appeared on the battlefield where Xeron was killed and might send dragons to face him.

Therefore, Roy could only stop hunting for a while. However, he had attacked many patrols all along and obtained quite a number of souls, and that should be enough to make a flare.

Most importantly, he had developed one of the Dark-Dark Fruit — Black Hole abilities!

After he spread the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit and released darkness in the surrounding land, the darkness would drag anything within this distance. After pulling the objects inward, the strong gravity in the darkness would suppress and destroy them. If he did not have the strength to resist this force, he would become like an elf patrolling army, crushed until every inch was destroyed.

Roy had made an ambush on the patrol by diving directly into their formation and immediately opened the Black Hole to suck them up. This method of raid made the patrol team unable to release their carrier pigeons. After the soldiers die, Roy releases their corpses from the Black Hole and harvests their souls.

This way, even the forest could not find any traces of him…

However, Roy was not with the demon army at all. Facing so many enemies, he could only temporarily stop his actions.

Roy waved at Fat Tiger, who also had wings spread out beside him, and took Fat Tiger away with him.

Roy flew quite a distance while carrying Fat Tiger before finding a place to land. It was still in the forest, but there was no other choice. Fortunately, it was far from the battlefield, so Roy felt it would be fine.

After stopping, Roy took Fat Tiger to a large, dense tree to rest. This tree looks very old, but it is still fertile. It had to be said that the elves protected the plants in their territory well.

Roy leaned against the trunk of a large tree and opened the system interface to prepare to make a flare.

In total, he had hunted down dozens of patrol teams and gained nearly four hundred souls. According to Roy's calculations, if the beacon didn't have the ability to open the teleportation gate but just sent Roy his position signal, he should have had enough.

Just, how was that beacon supposed to be?

Before Roy could make up his mind, he suddenly found the ground shaking!

At first, Roy thought it was an earthquake, but he soon realized that the tremors were coming from the big tree he was leaning on.

Roy immediately jumped up and turned to defend himself because he knew the elves had dendroid guards, and any tree could be an enemy.

However, what Roy did not expect was that the huge tree was slowly forming a human face on its thick trunk. With a wrinkled bark, this face looked very old.

“Someone came again ..” The ancient tree slowly looked at Roy. “Oh, I didn't expect it to be a demon ..”

Roy said nothing and just looked at the tree carefully.

After he finished speaking, the old tree fell silent for a while before saying, “OK, it doesn't matter if it's a demon. The inheritance of knowledge is enormous and should have no racial differences .. So, demon, what do you want to ask me? “

Seeing the anticipation on the face of the ancient tree, with no intention of attacking, Roy inevitably had to relax and ask curiously, “Who are you? Or who are you? ”

“I?” the ancient tree replied, “I don't know who I am.. I don't have a name, but I am an Ancient Sylanna! Don't you know? ”

“S-Sylanna Ancient ?!” Roy was shocked too. He had not expected to meet Sylanna’s Ancient!

In the game, Sylanna’s Ancient could make the visiting hero level up, but this was where the real world was, so she had no idea what function this Sylanna’s Ancient had. He asked, “You said I could ask you?”

“Yes, I am Sylanna’s Ancient, the longest living tree. Over the years, I have known many things! ” said the ancient tree in an old voice. “Every passing traveler likes to seek help from me. They hope to use my knowledge to help them solve the doubts in their hearts. In return, they will chat with me about some of their trips so that I can absorb new knowledge.Ah, in my longevity, I have also met other demons like you, I have also met other demons like you, and they have been talking about the world they live in — Abyss ! I'm also curious about your world.. ”.

“There are questions?” Roy asked.

“Iya . As long as it's something I know, I'll tell you! ” says Sylanna’s Ancient. “I just hope you're not like the demons I met before. After asking me, they always wanted to kill me. ”.

“But since you are still around, it means those demons didn't work out,” Roy said.

Of course, knowledge is power! sylanna’s Ancient said proudly. “That stupid devil doesn't seem to know this. ”

Despite being ridiculed by Sylanna’s Ancient, Roy doesn't care. He only needed to know that this ancient tree seemed to be extremely powerful.

“Come, ask a question!” sylanna’s Ancient said in anticipation. “Similarly, I'm looking forward to the experience you've had on your journey. ”

What should I ask? Roy pondered as a thought popped into his mind. Maybe I can use Sylanna’s Ancient …
