No matter in any world, only with power can you have the capital to survive.
This truth remains unchanged throughout the ages.
So Elena bit into the fruit of the sacred tree without hesitation.
A smelly, sticky purple juice immediately spurted out from the inner lining of the fruit, as if Elena had bitten its blood vessels.
The pulp exudes a rotten corpse-like stench in the mouth. The pulp is so astringent that it numbs the tongue, and is as tough as old tree bark that is difficult to chew. It even cuts the throat a bit when swallowing.
However, Elena suppressed her nausea and still swallowed the whole holy tree fruit gracefully one bite at a time.
A surging power gradually spread within her body...
She began to notice that she was no longer hungry, and could even go without eating for at least three days.
She found that her strength had increased and she could easily lift an elephant.
She found that her five senses seemed to have broken some kind of limit and became extremely sharp. Looking up, I can actually see far away places and hear far away sounds.
"This is...an extraordinary feeling." Elena said excitedly.
"It's a pseudo-extraordinary level." The Dread Lord interrupted.
"No matter how many holy tree fruits you eat, even if you reach the king level, once you leave the Lost Jungle, these powers will no longer exist."
"The power gained in the Lost Jungle is only effective in the Lost Jungle." The Fear Lord affirmed, "Only I, the root level, can feel this."
Elena's face suddenly turned pale! My mother endured such disgusting food and ended up feeling lonely after eating it?
"Why?!" she asked unwillingly.
"I don't know." The Dread Lord said decisively, "If you want to know the answer, you must know the real secret of the Lost Jungle."
The Dread Lord said with a mocking smile on his lips: "However, no life has ever been able to leave the Lost Jungle! Let alone know its secrets."
Elena's bloody eyes flickered: "Can't you even leave?"
"I haven't tried it, but it probably won't work."
"The mysterious power of the lost jungle is not under the root. Even if I am cursed and try to break out, I am afraid that I will return to chaos with the jungle. The result depends on whether the jungle wants to die with me or is willing to let me go. ”
"But why should I leave here? There is no curse here. I don't have to stay with you here. I can always be comfortable, always comfortable, always comfortable! As long as you don't die."
Elena wrinkled her nose, I will not die, only the cow will die from exhaustion!
Elena was angry, but then her eyes were firm! "But I must leave this hellish place!"
"Why, stubborn princess." The Dread Lord wondered, "With my protection, I will let you live an easy life in the jungle. Moreover, there are precious holy tree fruits, enough for you to live here." Reach the king level."
"Here, you will have no worries, you will dominate everything, and you will live forever."
"So, Your Royal Highness, please tell me, why do you want to leave here and go back outside to continue to face your father's never-ending pursuit?"
Elena paused.
It has to be said that the words of the Dread Lord are simply questions from the soul.
yes?
I have always just wanted to live.
If you can really live forever here and dominate everything, then why would you leave?
After leaving the jungle, can she guarantee that she will survive her father's pursuit?
At this moment, Elena found that she suddenly had no reason to leave here.
What is the secret of the lost jungle?
What does it take to be a queen?
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to live peacefully?
But Elena always felt that something was wrong...
It seems like... nothing is wrong!
"How about it, Your Highness Princess, have you considered it?" The Dread Lord smiled.
Elena was silent, but her eyes were no longer determined.
"I think it's time for me to prepare a room for you." The Fear Lord seemed to have expected it. "Of course, don't worry, the room I prepared for you will definitely be countless times more luxurious than the room you have in the vampire castle!"
"I..." Elena was wandering in her heart.
However, at this time, the Dread Lord had already clapped his hands, and suddenly a large number of grass dumplings suddenly poured in from all over the tree cave hall!
These grass dumplings are about the size of a puppy, and they appear to be as obedient and well-behaved as a puppy. The moment the Dread Lord clapped his hands, they lined up neatly and orderly between Elena and the Dread Lord, and then "swirled" and made cute calls.
"From today on, this Ms. Elena is your new master. The Holy Tree is her new home, so her orders are equal to my orders and must not be disobeyed!"
"Rustling."
"Rustling!"
The grass dumplings made a sound, seeming to say they understood.
Afterwards, a large number of grass dumplings quickly formed a seat, and Elena was "invited" to the seat without any explanation. Then the tiny ivy-like tentacles under the rear seat began to squirm vigorously, carrying Elena on the seat along the stairs and continuously "walking" towards the top of the sacred tree.
Soon Elena saw a spacious and bright tree house, which was countless times more luxurious than the fairy-tale tree house that appeared in her mind when she was a child.
She suddenly felt relaxed and happy, got down from her seat, and started running happily in the tree house.
At this moment, for the first time, there was no suppressed emotion in her heart.
Don’t worry about life and death, don’t worry about the future, don’t worry about everything…
The Dread Lord looked at Elena running happily in the room with bare feet, and for some reason, he unconsciously smiled slightly.
"cracking--"
A loud bird call came from the window. Elena walked quickly to the tall wooden floor-to-ceiling window without realizing it, pushed the light green translucent grass-leaf window, and opened the tall floor-to-ceiling window.
A thick branch as wide as a road appeared at Elena's feet. At the end of this branch, there was a huge bird's nest. Inside the bird's nest was a strange bird chirping loudly at her.
Elena could feel its friendliness, so she stepped on the branch with bare feet and slowly walked to the strange bird. The strange bird immediately lowered its head and obediently let Elena stroke its feathers as strong as steel.
Elena found this bird very strange. It was as big as an elephant, with a head like an eagle, a body like a lion, and a pair of golden wings like a phoenix!
Although Elena has never seen Phoenix, she just feels like it.
"This griffon will be your mount from now on."
The Dread Lord's voice sounded behind Elena.
"Griffin..." Elena suddenly realized, "It turns out that this is the legendary griffin beast."
"Riding on it, you can reach every place in the Lost Jungle and see every scenery in the Lost Jungle. Moreover, you don't have to worry about any danger. It is very strong, and most of the weird things in the jungle are no match for it. It’s because of the weirdness of its opponent and it’s impossible to catch up with it.”
Elena nodded and stroked the griffin's mouth affectionately: "Then you are really strong!"
"cracking--"
The griffin sang proudly, making Elena's ears tingle.
"Hehehe, hahaha..."
Elena found that she had not laughed so loudly and normally for a long time.
