Chapter 90: Maokai, The Tree Shepherd, The Essence of a Demigod
In the broken plane, the magic environment is extremely poor, not much better than the magic-free environment on Earth.
When you step into the portal, the first thing you see is a vast expanse of white fog.
But soon, the fog seemed to have its own intelligence, revealing an invisible passage and even a signpost formed by the fog.
Seeing this scene, Tasha, Tang Fu and others all looked at Roy.
Roy looked at John Wick.
John Wick said expressionlessly, "Boss, there's a forest inside. Um, no danger, very beautiful."
Roy nodded and said, "Let's go. The owner of this place seems a little impatient."
What Roy said is correct.
While Roy and the others remained motionless, the mist beacon quickly transformed into a group of cute mist elves, pulling at Roy and the others' trouser legs.
Led by a group of mist elves.
Roy and the others quickly followed the foggy passage and entered a forest that looked like a fairy tale world.
There are lush green trees, blooming flowers, and clear springs and streams flowing freely.
However, in the forests on both sides of the passage, there was strangely no sign of life.
No matter how beautifully the plants are maintained, they still exude a sense of withering and death.
The fog channel is not straight.
In fact, the entire head is more like a line coiled in a maze.
After walking around in twists and turns for half an hour.
A huge ancient tree that reached from the sky to the ground and looked like an emerald canopy appeared in the sight of Roy and others.
"Groot (You're here)!"
"Groot (I'm sorry to meet you this way)!"
"I'mgroot!"
A series of gentle, yet thunder-like sounds were heard soon.
Under the slightly surprised gazes of Roy and the others, the enormous ancient tree revealed an expression that was full of wrinkles, but exuded a hint of holiness, gentleness, and kindness.
Treeman, can also be said to be tree shepherd, tree spirit, etc.
No wonder, its curse magic and even its teleportation method all have a 'escape' style.
If it were an ancient tree shepherd, it would be understandable.
According to the records of Kamar-Taj, there is a race called tree herders.
However, most of the tree herders lived in prehistoric times. After the human population gradually increased and the surface forests shrank drastically, tree herders became rare.
Most of the tree herders are taken in by many forces because of their unique life magic.
This tree shepherd at this moment exudes a strong aura of holiness and light.
It is obvious that this tree herder should belong to the Heavenly Camp.
I just don't know why, when Heaven entered the Chaos Star Realm, this tree man was stripped out of Heaven.
Moreover, the species of this tree shepherd belongs to the Jibei tree.
According to the records left by Mayan civilization, the kibe tree is a sacred tree whose crown carries the heaven.
Even the souls of people after death enter heaven through the vines of the gibe tree.
In the material world, the kiwi tree is a special tree species unique to Central America, distributed in Caribbean regions such as Mexico and Puerto Rico.
In this way, it is understandable that Natasha Romanoff, Xiang Fu and others were often teleported to the small town in Puerto Rico.
In all likelihood, that small town is where the jibei tree once grew.
Only the place where it grows can enable it to generate induction and connection after it is separated from the material world.
At the same time, it was just as Roy expected.
The current situation of this tree shepherd is not very good.
During the long wandering time, the magic power of the entire plane has been completely exhausted by him, and even the vitality of the surrounding forest is constantly being transferred to the tree shepherd.
That's why those forests look beautiful but lifeless.
After understanding all this.
Roy was completely relieved and cast a mind link spell, allowing everyone to communicate with the tree shepherd mentally.
"Your Excellency the Magician, the Tree Shepherd Maokai, greets you."
"Roy, just call me Roy. You're quite polite."
"Dear Roy Magician, your easygoing and humble attitude makes me sincerely admire you..."
"Maokai, stop the pretense and tell me what you want."
A tree spirit who understands the ways of the world.
While interrupting the other party's flattery, Roy also gave John Wick beside him a look that urged him to learn more.
0...Please give me flowers...
John Wick is still as wooden as ever.
On the contrary, Robert, Duncan and Willis had an inexplicable gleam in their eyes.
Roy didn't notice the expressions of his three new subordinates, but instead focused all his attention on the Teshu man in front of him.
Although this tree shepherd is almost at the end of his life, his essence is at least a demigod.
To this fallen demigod.
Roy had some ideas, but he didn't want to lose the opportunity due to carelessness.
As long as this demigod has any bad thoughts, Roy guarantees that he will throw the Silver Angel in his face immediately.
As expected, facing Roy's vigilance and precautions, the tree shepherd Maokai fell silent.
00...
Old people become wise, and old trees are no worse.
The fact that he was able to earn the title of "Sacred Tree" among the Heavenly Gods of the mythological era meant that he was definitely not as gentle and serene as he appeared.
It's a pity that trees, like people, have to bow their heads under the eaves.
The aspect where the tree shepherd Maokai is located is just a fragment of heaven.
Over countless years, the entire plane has been pulled back and forth between the material world and the Chaos astral plane, and it has almost reached the brink of collapse.
When Roy and others came, why did they use the same air-exhaust passage as the maze route?
The entire plane and forest are filled with space cracks.
The tree shepherd Maokai couldn't even teleport a few people, so he could only use the little connection created by the broken extraordinary sacrificial vessel to cast a curse.
This already shows how weak the tree shepherd is.
You can't fool people at all.
After a moment's silence, the tree herder Maokai said solemnly, "Roy Magician, I can submit to you, but you should know the resources required to nurture a demigod ancient tree."
"Before I surrender to you, I need to get enough protection. At least, I still have a choice.
The essence of a demigod is the final basis for his "ability to choose".
And facing the negotiations with the tree shepherd Maokai.
Roy laughed and said, "Maokai, you have to figure out who needs who."
"Before I provide you with protection, why don't you tell me what you can bring to me?"
