“Very good, let’s go over and take a look at the Ancient War Tree now,” Cao Xing said.
The two tree spirit sisters nodded slightly, and then led him to the edge of the territory’s city wall.
From a distance, Cao Xing saw three green ancient trees in front of him, with a height of more than ten meters.
The branches of the ancient tree are twisting and vigorous, covered with wrinkles of time, and the branches and leaves are thick and thick.
The brown tree trunk is more than one meter in diameter and straight. The green leaves of the tree are like a big open green velvet umbrella, swaying gently when the wind blows.
Like all ancient trees, this tree also has an old human face on its trunk.
At this moment, Sarah stood under the ancient tree and stared at the three ancient trees.
After seeing Cao Xing coming, the dark elf bowed slightly to him.
“Sarah, why are you here?”
Sarah replied: “Lord, let me see the guardian of our dark elf tribe, the ancient tree of war.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing suddenly said: “It turns out that the dark elves still have this connection with these ancient trees.”
At this moment, the three ancient war trees made the sound of vicissitudes of life.
“We didn’t expect that we would be able to take root again in this place and meet dark elves…”
“Miss Sarah, how is the Darkmoon Grove? What was the outcome of the invasion war?”
Sarah shook her head and said, “I don’t know what happened after that invasion war.”
“On the eve of the invasion war, I died during a mission and was sealed in the summoning space. I was reborn recently…”
A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the three ancient war trees, “It seems that we have experienced a little more than you.”
Sarah asked: “What happened after I was sealed? Were we defeated?”
The Ancient War Trees gently shook their crowns, “We don’t know how the war ended.”
“We only saw the army of invaders falling from the sky, destroying the Darkmoon Woodland along the way.”
“A large number of ancient trees of war, tree of life, and ancient trees of wind were burned to death one after another.”
“The dark elves are also resisting at the cost of their lives.”
“Later, our torsos were set on fire during the battle, and the flames swallowed us up. At the last moment of our lives, we turned into seeds and slept for countless years…”
“Then I don’t know what happened, but we actually came to the Western Continent.”
After listening to their conversation, Cao Xing looked thoughtful in his eyes.
Is it another invasion war? Hilda seemed to have died in the invasion war before.
I wonder if the war they are talking about is the same one? Cao Xing decided to call them all together later and ask about the war.
At this moment, the three ancient trees looked at Cao Xing and said respectfully.
“Thank you to this lord for giving us a second chance to be reborn.”
“We will be like the stars in the sky, guarding your territory day and night.”
Cao Xing nodded and said: “Welcome to you, several guardians from ancient times.”
Then, he also took a look at the properties of these ancient trees.

…
Read the properties.
Cao Xing thought with satisfaction: “Yes, although the level 15 elite monsters are of little use to me, the skills of these ancient trees are still very good as defensive units.”
“Not only do they have a range beyond the intermediate elemental arrow towers, but they also have control skills and different defense modes.”
“You won’t be able to fight back when the enemy touches you.”
“And the most important thing is that these ancient trees can also receive various status bonuses.”
“In other words, as long as these ancient war trees are given a status, their strength will undergo a transformation!”
At this time, Cao Xing suddenly had a whim.
“After the Ancient War Tree enters melee mode, although it is very strong, its movement speed becomes very slow.”
“But if Hilda’s queen’s will is blessed, can they run fast?”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing decided to give it a try.
He called Hilda, Ilena, Liu Muxue, Blot and others over.
Then he looked at the three ancient war trees.
“Several ancient guardians, please accept our blessings for you now.”
After speaking, Cao Xing asked everyone to impose a lot of status on the ancient war tree.
They clearly felt that their aura was greatly increasing.
Even their ancient and unrippled faces showed strong fluctuations! They looked at Cao Xing with shocked eyes, and then looked at Sarah.
“Ms. Sarah, you seem to have come to an incredible territory…”
Sarah pursed her lips, then nodded slightly.
She fully agreed with what the Ancient War Tree said.
The three ancient trees looked at Cao Xing again, “Lord, your power is really amazing!”
“With your blessing, we feel like we have been reborn!”
Cao Xing nodded and said: “Yes, as long as our territory continues to develop, you will receive more powerful blessings in the future.”
“Now, stand up from the ground and try your new state.”
Hearing this, the three ancient trees responded at the same time.
“As you command, Lord Lord!”
Then, they begin to rise up from the soil.
Boom! The soil around the ground began to rise.
White tree roots protruded from the soil.
Then, the tree roots began to gather and gradually turned into the shape of two soles.
However, the soles of their feet seemed to be filled with bursts of red energy.
Cao Xing said happily: “Gunata, take a few steps and take a look.”
The crown of the ancient war tree whose name he called swayed slightly, and then it spread its legs and started running on the ground.
Boom! Boom!
Heavy footsteps came.
After a while, the big tree ran out a hundred or two hundred meters away.
The speed is about seven or eight kilometers per hour.
Although compared to Cao Xing and others, this speed is still a bit slow.
But compared with the huge body of the ancient war tree, it seems to be as fast as flying!
Moreover, this scene made Cao Xing unable to help but laugh.
After all, the sight of a big tree running wildly through its territory is indeed a bit joyful.
The other two ancient trees also looked at Gunata with surprise.
“Oh my god, it’s as fast as a rabbit!”
“Is this really the speed our ancient tree of war can possess?”
Soon, Gunata, who ran out, ran back again.
“It’s hard to imagine that with the Lord’s blessing, we even have the power of wind!”
Cao Xing also nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, the defensive areas of the three ancient war trees can be changed at any time.
No need to stick to a certain position like before.
It is equivalent to a mobile arrow tower, which is still very strong.
Cao Xing encouraged them and prepared to take people away from here.
At this time, three ancient trees were whispering behind them.
Gunata said: “Have you all seen it? This lord’s blessing is beyond our imagination.”
“If it is in its territory, our ancient tree clan should be able to get a good space to grow.”
“So I think we should tell this lord about that matter. What do you think?”
The other two ancient trees thought for a moment and then replied.
“Agree!”
“Agree!”
The three ancient trees agreed unanimously.
At this time, Gunata looked at Cao Xing’s back and slowly said: “Lord, there is something we need to report to you.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing stopped and looked at them doubtfully.
“What’s up?”
Gunata said: “While we were sleeping, we vaguely sensed in our consciousness that there were several sleeping guardian seeds around us.”
“Those are the seeds of the Ancient Tree of Wind and the Ancient Tree of Knowledge…”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing asked in confusion: “The Ancient Tree of Wind and the Ancient Tree of Knowledge?”
“Yes.”
Gunata replied: “The Ancient Tree of Wind has more power than our Ancient Tree of War, and the Ancient Tree of Knowledge allows dark elves to gain different abilities.”
Cao Xing suddenly became interested.
“You mean, how many seeds are there where you were sleeping before?”
The three ancient trees nodded, “Yes, after we turned into seeds, we slept for who knows how many years.”
“And when I regained consciousness, I found that we were in almost the same area.”
“Then one day, the seeds of our ancient war trees were suddenly picked up by a certain being.”
“But the seeds of the Ancient Tree of Wind and the Ancient Tree of Knowledge are still there…”
Cao Xing asked: “Then do you know the specific location?”
The three ancient trees shook their crowns one after another. “When we turned into seeds and fell asleep, we only had a little ability to perceive the outside world.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing’s thoughts became more active.
Although the specific locations of these ancient trees are unknown, Cao Xing has clues.
They said they were suddenly picked up one day.
The person who picked it up must be the neighbor Yao Yiming.
Because Cao Xing obtained these three ancient war tree seeds from him.
Yao Yiming told himself before that he only picked up a few seeds, and he planted two to death.
This shows that the other party should know the location where the seeds were picked up.
“Okay, I understand. I will keep an eye on the whereabouts of the other ancient tree seeds.”
Hearing this, smiles appeared on the vicissitudes of the faces of the three ancient trees, and then they thanked them one after another.
“Thank you, my merciful lord.”
…
…
After leaving the place where the ancient trees were, a smile appeared on Cao Xing’s lips.
“Unexpectedly, these ancient trees also provided me with useful information.”
“Now, let’s ask Yao Yiming directly and see if we can get any valuable clues.”
So, Cao Xing found Yao Yiming’s name through the regional channel, and then sent a private message.
“Hello, I’m Cao Xing. I have something to talk to you about.”
After waiting for a while, a message came back from Yao Yiming.
“Boss Cao Xing, you are so polite. If you have anything to say, just ask. You are the savior of our family. I promise to complete it with all my strength!”
Cao Xing smiled and said: “It’s not an important matter. I just want to know where you got the ancient war tree seeds you gave me last time.”
After hearing this, the person on the other side thought for a moment and then replied: “Brother Cao Xing, actually this place is a secret area we discovered.”
“Just a few kilometers outside my territory.”
“It seems to be a sunken ancient battlefield. There are many rusty weapons, armors, etc. buried deep in the soil, but most of them are unusable.”
“But sometimes, you can still dig up one or two useful things. Just two days ago, I also dug up a green sword with a level as high as 40!”
“For us, it’s a treasure trove. My sister and I often go there to hunt for treasures!”
Yao Yiming’s tone was filled with excitement.
“By the way, I’ll send you the coordinates.”
After speaking, he directly sent the coordinates.
But Cao Xing was stunned.
He asked doubtfully: “You just told me such an important place so simply?”
After all, just listening to Yao Yiming’s description, you can imagine how many opportunities there are in that place.
A huge ancient battlefield, many strong men were killed, and there were also many weapons, armors, etc.
Just as Yao Yiming said, he randomly picked up a high-level green outfit, and he also picked up the seeds of the ancient war tree before.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely regard this place as their own forbidden area.
But he told Cao Xing so simply.
Yao Yiming said sheepishly: “It’s okay, after all, Mr. Cao Xing is our savior!”
“Besides, that place is actually quite dangerous. There is a kind of carrion monster and undead creatures inside. The further you go in, the higher the level of the monsters will be.”
“My sister and I have only dared to hang around outside before. If Mr. Cao Xing wants to go there, we must be careful.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing was silent for a moment and said: “Okay, I understand, thank you for the information.”
“You’re welcome, Mr. Cao Xing. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go and get busy first.”
“good.”
After hanging up the private chat with Yao Yiming, Cao Xing was thoughtful.
He looked at the coordinates sent by the other party and found that it was indeed not far from his territory, only a dozen kilometers away.
If what the other party said is true, then the value of this information is still very great.
Cao Xing thought to himself: “This Yao Yiming is not bad. Let me go to that place and have a look. If it is true as he said, I can give his territory some help.”
Judging from Cao Xing’s current strength, a little help can make the other survivors’ strength skyrocket.
“But now, let’s get ready to go fishing.”
“I hope this time, I can catch the legendary king salmon, and then take down the legendary weapon in one fell swoop, haha!”
Cao Xing thought happily.
Of course, he also knew that he was thinking nonsense, after all, legendary weapons were not that easy to obtain.
However, even if you can’t catch king salmon, it’s still good to catch golden salmon.
And there is a large amount of [Secret Pet Ration] in his backpack.
There are green grades and blue grades.
Last time, a few green grade rations were enough to catch a few silver salmon.
So the harvest this time should be good.
A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Xing’s mouth.
but–
Now there is another question.
That is, if you want to fish, you need a fishing rod.
And he himself didn’t.
An ordinary [Fishing Rod] can naturally be made casually.
However, this time he was not fishing for ordinary fish, but for those magical creatures! Those silver salmon are so powerful in the water that they can easily break your fishing rod.
The champion fighter I met last time, the fishing rod in his hand was obviously very precious.
When the silver salmon struggled wildly in the water, his strong and powerful hands held the fishing rod steadily, and the relaxation seemed very rhythmic.
No matter how hard the salmon struggled, the fishing line did not break.
Therefore, ordinary fishing rods should not be able to catch such magical creatures.
However, just because Cao Xing doesn’t have it in his hands, it doesn’t mean it’s not on the [market].
After all, there are tens of thousands of people in Area 174, and there will always be some weird things encountered.
So, he opened [Market] and entered the word [fishing rod].
Dozens of messages suddenly appeared on it.

After reading these consignment information, Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly appeared.
“Sure enough, as expected, fishing rods are also divided into grades.”
“I just don’t know, what are the effects of different fishing rods?”
Cao Xing took a look at the attributes.

…
After reading the attributes of these consignment items, Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly became clear.
“I see, magical creatures are also divided into levels. The higher the level, the stronger the power and the more magical effects.”
“And a blue-grade fishing rod can only catch magical creatures like sockeye salmon at best.”
“If you want to catch higher-level magical creatures, you need a higher-level fishing rod.”
