"This is probably the core area of the entire High Level Elf territory..." Lillian murmured, "That tallest stone tree is most likely modeled after the legendary Ancient Tree of Life!"
"...The architectural abilities of the Liya'er Clan are awe-inspiring," Colin agreed with a sigh, feeling a hint of anticipation in his heart.
According to the results of Anando's Dice, there must be treasures within the mountains...
It's just a pity that for some reason, the other treasure range provided by Anando's Dice before was too vast, covering almost half of the mountains, and he was now unsure if the treasures existed within this giant tree.
By the time he arrived here, he realized that the place Nasi led them to was exactly,
"There's no delay necessary, let's hurry," Lillian urged as she turned back.
The two approached the area.
This stone tree, like the earlier ones, had a beautifully crafted stone door at its base.
However... unlike the first tree they encountered, this stone door was tightly locked.
'Could it be that those people did not come here?' Colin wondered.
"Junior Colin," Lillian called out urgently, the brilliance of witchcraft brewing in her hands.
"Yes," Colin responded softly, understanding her intentions, and cast Silent on the stone door.
Before approaching the stone door, they had checked around and found no suspicious figures.
Swoosh.
Similarly, Lillian scattered a few sesame-sized brown seeds toward the stone door.
Under the influence of witchcraft, they firmly adhered to the stone door and began to sprout.
However, this time, the witchcraft, which had been infallible inside the other stone trees, lost its effectiveness.
No matter how hard the seeds tried to grow their roots, they eventually withered away and slowly fell off, carefully collected by a cautious Lillian.
Throughout the process, the stone door showed no particular change, no glow emerged, nor any sound emitted, it just silently yet effortlessly resisted Lillian's witchcraft, which was at least a Middle First Rank.
"Perhaps it's a specific counter... Let me try," Colin speculated, slowly reaching out toward the stone door, a faint red glow emerging from his palm.
His Fireball Technique, now Limit Breaking, had long since transcended the mere form of a fireball. He planned to stretch the fireball into a stream and then intensify the heat, attempting to use high temperatures to cut through the stone door.
Such a variation was hard to use during battle due to lack of time, so the fireball form was still the most commonly used. But now, given the circumstances, there was ample time for him to perform.
"Good giant, let Nasi try!"
But before Colin's hand could touch the stone door, he heard Nasi shouting from behind him.
Immediately, before he could react, he saw Nasi wave her hand lightly.
Accompanied by a waft of misty green light rapidly fading from the stone door, there was a click sound.
At the right moment, Lillian pushed, and the heavy stone door smoothly opened, revealing the scenery inside.
"How about that, little Nasi is amazing!" The small elf boasted.
"Amazing, you are one of the most amazing little elves I've ever seen!" Lillian, relieved as the stone door opened, couldn't help but show joy on her face, and was genuinely about to praise Nasi wholeheartedly when she suddenly added two more words, sensing a slight movement in her hair.
"Good giant, what do you think?" Not satisfied with just Lillian's praise, Nasi looked expectantly at Colin.
"Amazing!" Colin was not stingy with his praise.
He watched Nasi, growing more curious... Nasi, with her bright red complexion, possessed natural Plant Magic and a strange ability to open doors.
Not only the doors in the void but even the solid, ancient tree doors here could be opened, which was quite impressive!
The ancient blue-golden tree before them was significantly larger than the ordinary pale-blue ancient trees and had a different internal structure.
Upon entering, it was not a circular corridor they walked into, but a straight corridor extending forward, which soon reached a corner and the end of the corridor was not visible.
Unlike the other stone trees, the sides of the corridor were lined with rooms, both large and small.
"..." Lillian walked up to the brown door of the first room, looking up at the odd wine-red inscriptions.
Colin too stepped closer to examine it, but instantly frowned.
He did not recognize the writing before him.
This unfamiliarity was not just about not understanding the meanings of the words, but about having no recollection of the characters on the stone door at all!
The strange inscriptions on the stone door, with their elegant and delicate font, resembled ever-growing lush plants, which should evoke a sense of vitality but somehow instead felt oddly distorted...
Nevertheless, such characters were striking at first glance; not to mention, with the help of his Superbrain, once seen, they were never supposed to be forgotten!
Yet currently, there was indeed no trace of them in his mind.
'This isn't the language of the elves either...' Colin looked again.
Even as the Elf Clan gradually vanished without trace, and the items, as well as texts associated with them, largely disappeared or were translated many times over.
