The eleventh day.
Dream Island.
The small diamond tribe lived on the top of the mountain above the ground.
Aoki stood on the back of the Draconic Scorpion, and King Dai stood beside him.
They looked down at the evil forest below and the Ancient Tree of Life in the distance.
Last night, Aoki successfully entered the Chinese Valentine's Day and subdued the green bird. However, with Aoki's current ability, he was unable to truly tame her.
As long as the Chinese Valentine's Day green bird obeyed his orders on Dream Island, Aoki would have a very powerful trump card.
When the time came, even if the other members of the Rocket Team gathered to attack Aoki in the ruins, he would have a way to deal with them.
Therefore, the current Aoki was fearless.
He felt a little cold at the top. When the wind blew and he felt a little cold, he stood on the back of the Draconic Scorpion and walked to the other side of the mountain.
After descending, it was still a primitive forest. However, if he wanted to reach the Ancient Tree of Life, he would have to pass through this forest.
There was not as much time as before, so Aoki did not bother about which elf's territory it was.
He directly moved forward in a straight line. Whenever he encountered an enemy that he could not defeat, he would let King Dai use teleportation to retreat to a safe place. Then, he would go around the wild elf that he could not defeat.
In this way, the efficiency of moving forward was much higher.
Moreover, the elves would be able to fight opponents of their own strength more efficiently.
As a result, the combat training of the elves would also be improved.
With the Flower Leaf Stem, there was no need to worry about minor injuries.
According to the plan, the journey should only take one day. However, because of the battles and the need to go around some stronger wild elves, the time would be extended by a lot.
When Aoki arrived at the bottom of the Ancient Tree of Life, it was already noon of the twelfth day.
Previously, when he looked at the Ancient Tree of Life from afar, he felt that it was very tall and very big.
However, this was not as shocking as looking at it from such a close distance.
Standing not far from the trunk of the Ancient Tree of Life, looking up from below, it felt as if the entire sky had been covered.
There were many little fairies living on this ancient tree, and the wide branches could accommodate all of them.
Looking at the huge trunk of the Ancient Tree of Life, from the senses, it was like a giant pillar that held up the sky!
There were no other trees on the surrounding ground. Occasionally, one could see the thick roots of the Ancient Tree of Life emerging from the soil.
Based on the growth of the underground roots, Aoki estimated that the roots of this tree could be found in any corner of Neverland Island.
There were far fewer aggressive elves here. Aoki slowly approached the tree trunk.
When the elves on the tree saw a foreign elf like Aoki, they all hid themselves.
However, as he approached the tree trunk, Aoki's brows gradually furrowed.
It was not because of the environment here, nor was it because of the elves here. It was because Aoki saw that the Ancient Tree of Life had withered and its bark was falling off.
"Is this the end of the tree's life? But according to the legends, as long as the Ancient Tree of Life grows, it has never shown any signs of withering naturally. " Aoki stood in front of the tree trunk and looked at the charred area above. He felt that this was not a normal wither.
He stretched out a hand and slowly placed it on the withered area.
Even though it was already like this, Aoki could still feel the temperature above it. Not only that, there was an obvious prickling pain where his palm came into contact with the tree.
This was obviously not a natural phenomenon. It was man-made.
But who was it that could cause such damage to the Ancient Tree of Life?
Aoki's mind kept filtering through the information of the members of the Rocket Team. Although there were some poison-type elves who were good at it, this was definitely not a result that could be caused by simple poison.
At first glance, it looked like it had withered naturally, but after getting closer, he discovered some abnormalities.
Moreover, ordinary elves would not be able to do this. According to the information given by Regis, elite-level elves should not be able to do this.
Aoki had Draconic Scorpion and Geng Gui, so his understanding of poison-type elves was not low. Aoki also had a better understanding of what elite-level poison-type elves could do.
Draconic Scorpion had been developed by Aoki in this way. During the evolution, almost half of the Centipede Queen's colony was used as a sacrifice for Draconic Scorpion's evolution. However, Aoki guaranteed that Draconic Scorpion could not do this.
"So … someone is hiding their strength? Or did someone bring in someone else's elf? As a trump card? But what's the reason for being exposed so directly? What's the benefit of attacking the Ancient Tree of Life? "A lot of doubts appeared in Aoki's mind.
He was about to retract his outstretched hand because he felt that the piercing pain on his hand was getting more and more obvious. It had been so long, but the corrosive effect was still so strong. He did not know what was going on inside the Ancient Tree of Life.
If the insides were corroded, then no matter how strong the Ancient Tree of Life's vitality was, it would not be able to survive and would die soon. A large number of elves living on the Ancient Tree of Life would also lose their homes because of the death of the Ancient Tree of Life. Who knew how many of them would survive in the end?
Of course, this had nothing to do with Aoki.
He just wanted to figure out what their goal was.
Just as Aoki was about to remove his hand, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura above his head.
As a superpower user, his sixth sense had always been more accurate.
At the same time that Aoki felt it, the elves also felt it and reacted accordingly.
King Dai put his hand on Aoki's shoulder and directly teleported.
As for the attacks from the outside, it was not his responsibility. His task was to teleport Aoki to a safe place when Aoki was in danger. The rest of the elves would do what they were supposed to do.
The Geng Gui, who had been guarding Aoki for a long time, was the fastest to react. It suddenly came out of the shadow and appeared above Aoki. A light green protective energy shield appeared.
Bang!
The sudden attack directly broke through the Geng Gui's defense, and King Dai successfully brought Aoki away from the Ancient Tree of Life.
Draconic Scorpion, Bora, and Crow's Head also moved away to ensure that they had enough distance to fight.
After the Geng Gui was shot down, it fell to the ground and immediately merged with the shadow on the ground.
A cloud of dust rose along with the attack. The attacking elf stood in the dust and was faintly discernible. It was impossible to see what kind of elf it was.
However, from the power of the attack and the invisible aura that it emitted, this elf was very powerful.
It was so powerful that Aoki thought that even if all his elves worked together, they might not be able to defeat it.
Aoki felt that he might have suffered an undeserved calamity. The other elves might have thought that he was the one who harmed the Ancient Tree of Life.
This was really a bitterness that he could not speak of.
The dust … gradually dissipated. A walking elf slowly appeared in Aoki's sight.
When he saw the elf, Aoki's pupils suddenly shrank.
"This is …"
