"Huh...huh..."
Zoroark looked at the place filled with smoke and dust, breathing heavily.
finally.
Constrained by his dilapidated body, Zoroark felt his legs weaken, his whole body was completely out of control, and he was about to fall down as he staggered.
It was at this time.
A pair of arms stretched out from the side and steadily caught the falling Zoroark.
"Chen...Master Chen Mo..."
"You did well, Zoroark."
Chen Mo smiled slightly.
"I…"
Zoroark was about to say something, but a rustling sound came from the smoke in the distance, followed by another violent cough.
In an instant, Zoroark's expression became tense again.
Chen Mo, who had been using the [Detection Eye] to observe the two elves, lifted Zoroark up and said softly.
"Don't worry."
The smoke was getting thicker and thinner, and a looming figure stepped out of it. At the same time, a slightly emotional voice slowly sounded.
"I didn't expect to see you again."
"Zoroa, you have become stronger."
These two sentences were not in a language that Chen Mo understood, so Chen Mo couldn't understand them at all. However, Zoroark, who was supported by Chen Mo, listened to the familiar voice and the familiar language. , I just feel the tip of my nose is a little sore.
"senior…"
"Zoroa, no, it should be Zoroark, it's been a long time..."
Lucario, who walked out of the smoke, froze on the spot before he finished speaking.
In his memory, Zoroa should have looked red and black after evolving, but at this moment, what Lucario saw was a bright red and white.
Feeling the ghost energy flowing around Zoroark, Lucario just thought for a moment and already understood what was going on.
Looking at Zoroark's injuries, Lucario felt even more guilty.
"sorry…"
——
As a auxiliary legendary elf, Jirachi naturally has no shortage of means to heal the elf.
but.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention, Chen Mo usually only lets Jirachi use his abilities in a small area.
Just like now.
In order to restore the seriously injured Zoroark and Lucario to health as quickly as possible, Chen Mo chose to let Jirachi use the unique skill of Life Drops to heal the two elves.
And in the process.
The two elves bathed in the water of life were also communicating quickly in the language of another world.
Chen Mo remained silent.
Just by observing the changes in the facial expressions of the two elves, he could tell that Lucario was probably asking about the things Zoroark experienced alone after it and Yaren left.
Lucario's expression became more and more guilty, while Zoroark acted as if nothing was wrong, as if he was still comforting the big dog.
It didn't take long.
Jirachi's treatment was over.
"This is…"
Lucario felt that he had recovered more than half of his body, and glanced at Jirachi floating in the air with a rather startled look.
Just as Machado thought.
At his peak, Lucario had already entered the realm of legend.
It is precisely because of this that Lucario understands more clearly that restoring himself is definitely not as easy and simple as restoring an ordinary elf.
Looking at the little star who was already running towards the young man, obviously asking for credit, Lucario showed a look as if he was sure of something.
It stood up, walked slowly to Chen Mo, and bowed.
"Are you the brave man predicted by Lord Phoenix?"
Lucario, who had learned something about Chen Mo from Zoroark, did not speak, but used the power of telepathy to directly convey what he wanted to say into Chen Mo's mind.
"Lord Phoenix!?"
Chen Mo hasn't made any move yet, but Marshado, who lives in Chen Mo's shadow world, has already become energetic first.
Chen Mo, who understood that the following topic might not be suitable for ordinary live broadcasts, winked at Geng Gui. The other party immediately understood, and after closing the live broadcast room, he immediately resumed control.
Since the two identities of the ideal hero and the wave guide were exposed one after another, Chen Mo actually didn't have much to hide from the general audience.
But from the current point of view, there are too many things involved behind the original tree of the world, and the live broadcast room is a mixed bag. In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, Chen Mo decided to close the live broadcast room first.
but.
After what happened with Zoroark last time, official personnel discussed with Chen Mo whether they could reopen a live broadcast room using the special channels provided by the government when encountering some special circumstances that required the live broadcast to be shut down.
After all, it was a major event involving two worlds. Considering that there would definitely be a need to use official power in the future, Chen Mo agreed.
After confirming that the live broadcast room was reopened, Chen Mo asked Lucario.
"What happened to the brave man predicted by the Phoenix King?"
"You don't know?"
Lucario looked a little surprised.
Chen Mo felt helpless.
I know something.
Phoenix King is an old Riddler. Until now, I have never even seen its face once...
"this…"
After listening to Chen Mo's description, Lucario also showed a little confusion.
But after a moment, it shook its head again and said seriously.
"Since you, brave man, have passed through the barrier, there will be nothing wrong with you."
Lucario's eyes passed over Chen Mo and the elves accompanying Chen Mo one by one, and then focused on the camera carried by Gengar and the shadow at Chen Mo's feet.
"Master Brave, if you can, please come with me."
"good."
Chen Mo, who originally came here to uncover the truth and solve the problem, naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation.
While walking towards the destination, Lucario also talked about some things in the past, things that the young Zoroa had not yet learned.
The light source was robbed, which was indeed a very troublesome thing for the original tree of the world.
but.
As an ancient life form that has existed since the birth of the world, the original tree of the world is not as fragile as Chen Mo imagined.
If it simply loses the light source, the original tree of the world can easily survive for a long time relying on the accumulation of hundreds of millions of years, and will not let the secret realm become as barren as Chen Mo saw before.
"In other words, are there other reasons why the original tree of the world became what it is now?"
"Um."
Chen Mo frowned.
Just when he was about to ask again, he found that Lucario in front of him suddenly slowed down.
There was a bright light coming from the front of the narrow passage.
It is clear.
Destination arrived.
When Chen Mo led a group of elves into the place of light, what he saw was a huge space full of crystals.
It's different from the outside world.
Although most of the crystals here have been covered in scarlet light, there are still a small number of crystals that still maintain a blue light.
"Um?"
It seemed strange to notice that these crystals emitting blue light seemed strange. When Chen Mo was about to step forward, he suddenly noticed that Lucario, not far away, suddenly touched a tree with a rotating shape with his fingers. Crystal composed of blue and purple gradients.
The flower of time!
As the power of the waveguide resonates with the flower of time, the world gradually begins to become distorted under the azure light.
The next moment.
A group of humans dressed in various costumes appeared right in front. They were discussing something fiercely around a huge red crystal.
In the center of the red crystal, Chen Mo clearly saw a kitten with various wounds all over its body, frozen into the crystal with an expression of extreme pain.
at the same time.
The isolated island in the sea where Chen Mo was before entering the secret realm has already been occupied by many official personnel.
In the temporary base.
In the conference room.
Hu Chengliang looked at the pink elf that appeared on the screen, shrank suddenly, and whispered its name.
"dream…"
Next to Hu Chengliang, Professor Zhou and even many senior figures recognized this legendary elf that had appeared in previous murals.
Everyone's expression was very serious.
after all.
According to Chen Mo's previous popular science in the live broadcast room, Meng Meng, as the ancestor of the elves, is definitely at the top of the list among the many legendary elves.
And it was such a being who actually appeared in front of everyone in such a seriously injured posture.
What happened...
Chen Mo's expression was solemn.
Lucario's voice slowly sounded from his mind.
"This is the heart of the World Tree. This elf that appears in front of you must be recognized by you, Lord Brave. It is Lord Mew who coexists with the World Tree."
When Yaren, Lucario, and many wave guide messengers arrived at the original tree of the world, they already discovered something was wrong.
As everyone knows.
The original tree of the world is guarded by three sacred pillars given by Regichkas.
The Three Divine Pillars and the Initial Tree of the World are not the same system, so even waveguide messengers like Yaren need to negotiate with the Three Divine Pillars every time they want to enter the Initial Tree of the World.
But this time.
Except for the defense system of the World's Initial Tree itself, Yaren and others had the same experience as Chen Mo before and did not encounter Reggie Locke and other divine pillars.
As a hero of the wave guide, Yaren immediately realized that something was wrong.
And when Yaren and others stepped into the heart of the original tree of the world and wanted to rely on the power of the waveguide to call out dreams, something more serious happened.
】
They can't find Dream.
To know.
Over a long period of time, although Mew has been deliberately keeping a distance from humans due to certain things, Mew does have a very close relationship with the Waveguide Messenger.
Even the murals inside the Initial Tree of the World were completed by some waveguide messengers.
As a wave guide hero, Yaren has many ways to summon dreams.
But at this moment.
All those methods have lost their effect.
Realizing that something was wrong, Yaren quickly took action with a group of wave guide messengers. They first set up a barrier and completely blocked the original tree of the world.
Subsequently.
He also used various methods that had been formulated in advance to mobilize the energy accumulated by the original tree of the world in order to stabilize the situation in the surrounding area.
As Zoroark said.
For a while.
The deterioration of the original tree of the world has indeed been contained to a certain extent.
but.
It didn't take long.
Before Yaren and others took the initiative to search for it, Mew had already returned to the original tree of the world.
There wasn't even a chance to talk. Mew, who had just returned, was already scarred. The moment he saw Yaren and others, he fell to the ground.
And the original tree of the world that coexists with Dream, according to instinct, begins to use its own stored energy to feed Dream back.
"If the disappearance of the light source was the reason why the original tree of the world became what it is now, then what accelerated this process was Master Mew's serious injury."
Lucario sighed.
As the consciousness of the original tree of the world, the life-threatening dream cannot stop the instinctive actions of the original tree of the world. Moreover, the seriously injured dream will unconsciously absorb the life of the original tree of the world itself.
The disappearance of the light source and the severely injured Meng Meng combined to create this extremely bad situation.
"That is to say, when Lord Yaren didn't know what to do, Lord Ho-oh came."
Lucario glanced at the shadow at Chen Mo's feet and continued.
"Lord Phoenix has temporarily stabilized Lord Mew's injury. However, because the injury suffered by Lord Mew this time is unusual and the injury has affected the source, even Lord Phoenix cannot heal him."
"However, Lord Phoenix mentioned a prophecy to Lord Yaren."
"In the future, there will be a brave man who can pass through the colorful barrier. He has the ability to save the dreamy master who is dying."
After King Feng told Yaren and others the prophecy, he quickly left.
During that time, there seemed to be a lot of troubles in the elf world. Even if Meng was seriously injured and on the verge of death, Phoenix King still couldn't stay to help. He could only help Meng stabilize his injury and wait until the so-called brave man came.
However.
Until Yaren and others waited until the secret realm was formed, they could not wait for the arrival of the hero.
instead.
Because the secret realm is located in an area that has completely lost any light source, the condition of the original tree of the world has worsened. Even the healing that Phoenix King once applied cannot continue to stabilize Mew's injuries at this time.
In times of despair.
Yaren and others thought of a way.
The reason why Mew is close to the waveguide messenger is because Mew itself possesses the power of waveguide. Being connected to the World Tree, it has the power of waveguide to accommodate everything.
Tolerating everything means that it can absorb all waveguides.
"Lord Yaren and other waveguide messengers, after some discussion, decided to transfer their waveguides to Lord Mew, in order to extend the time and continue to wait for the brave man predicted by Lord Ho-oh."
