Chapter 708 The Leap of Faith That Can Be Interrupted
The more you go east, the better the natural environment here. Although it is definitely not as good as the real grasslands, plains and forests, the grasses, flowers, trees and springs have already made Zhao Mai overjoyed. He squatted down, gently kneaded the soil here, and observed the color of the soil.
The soil on the surface is full of vitality, and it feels sticky when held in the palm of your hand. But if it continues to go down, the soil on the bottom is still gray and loose, which is extremely abnormal. Zhao Mai calmly said, clapping his hands and standing up, saying to Zelatu: "This is not bad, there is still some hope for planting legion mushrooms."
"This is good news, you must tell the commander to know." Zelatu rubbed his hands, looking a little excited. In fact, you can basically plant legion mushrooms in any terrain, as long as the mushroom blanket is laid over. However, when Zhao Mai saw two different soil layers, he naturally became alert.
The fertile soil on the surface is not completely natural, and it uses a lot of magic power. As a druid, Zhao Mai will have many spells to improve the natural environment and promote the growth and reproduction of animals and plants. There is no druid like him in the Arda world, but it does not mean that he does not have similar abilities. Preliminary judgment is that the environment in the Harad Basin is the result of the joint action of spells and world will.
There is no problem with this layer on the surface, but the key is the layer below. Mordor's decay is surging deep and has not been eliminated. The problem is covered rather than solved, which is a huge hidden danger. Most people can only see that the soil in the lower layer is not fertile enough and has poor character, but Zhao Mai can see the will of the world, so he can discover something deeper.
He walked along the way, observing the surroundings, and remembering everything in his heart. He saw the hidden sentry, and from the mark on his face, he could be sure that he was a former slave. He also noticed that there were castles and tunnels underground, and found fresh horse hoof marks from the grass and mud. The surroundings seemed very quiet, but in fact, layers of protection were arranged to protect the secrets here.
"For such a long time, the Dark Demon King and the Ring Spirit have not discovered this? I don't believe it."
"Everyone has protected this place well and has not attracted much attention. Moreover, the goblins and gray dwarves are timid and afraid of things, and they are even bullied by orcs for a long time, so they can also fight for it." Zeratu explained: "More importantly, the power of the Dark Demon King is far less powerful than his heyday. The battle between the elves and humans has greatly damaged his vitality and is not that powerful."
Zhao Mai nodded, not believing it in his heart, so let's listen. Zeratu took Zhao Mai to a ruin through the woodland, crossing the canyon, climbing the mountains and crossing the river. After two days, he took Zhao Mai to a ruin.
He thought he could confuse Zhao Mai, but in fact Zhao Mai was hoping to see more of the surrounding terrain and environment. "Commander Taleon will come in a while." Zeratu was very tired and found a stone to sit down and rest. Zhao Mai could not sleep day and night, and even marched continuously at high intensity on the grounds that he was an orc who prefers night. The elves were more flexible and agile, but their endurance was far worse than that of orcs. "Black Foot Commander, you are indeed the strongest orc I have ever seen."
However, Zhao Mai did not take his words, but walked straight into the broken bricks and stones. From the scattered stones on the ground, it can be seen that a stone whistle tower was once built here. The tower has two floors and only one entrance and exit, which can serve as a lookout and simple defense.
Zoro was defeated, exiled and imprisoned many times. Mordor was occupied and managed by humans, elves and dwarves for a period of time. Many of these warning towers were the products of that time. However, Zoro had never died, and his power would always return slowly, and Mordor's land became difficult to cultivate and manage. Besides, it was far away from its homeland, and humans, elves and dwarves slowly gave up here.
In order to monitor Mordor and lock up possible evil in Mordor, they built many fortresses, including the Black Gate and Minas Moguel. They had beautiful names before, the evil barrier or the moon tower, but now they have been twisted and corrupted and become symbols of Zoro's ambitions.
But there are indeed some buildings that have not been defiled. The sentry tower in front of Zhao Mai is one of them. The power of light gathers on this tower, rising from the base, and condenses into a phantom of a watchtower that is more than 20 meters high from the height of the high place. Zhao Mai is watching intently and can see that there are many decorative reliefs on the tower like white jade, most of which have the style of an elf.
This is an invisible tower, which Zeratu can never see. The will of the world can exist in various images, and in Gulu is his flesh and blood and internal organs. Here is a warning tower. Zhao Mai saw a flash of light on the top of the tower, and a figure slowly appeared. He quickly looked away and pinched his waist to look at the horizon in the distance. The fewer people knew about the real world will of the world.
The person who appeared from the top of the tower was Calebrepeng. His whole body emitted a pale light, both like moonlight and dawn, making his face look hazy and difficult to distinguish. He jumped down from the top of the tower, and his body turned from virtual to real, turning into a human form.
It was a human man wearing ranger's scales, with a white holy tree painted on his chest with seven stars, which was the symbol of Gondor. Gondor's rangers had once stationed in Mordor, especially Blackmen and Minas Ishir (which later Minas Morgur). However, Zoro had long recaptured these fortresses, and Gondor's power was either dead or driven away.
That was a lot, many years ago, and this ranger named Taleon must be the undead who was dragged back from the world of the dead. He opened his arms and rushed towards the solid earth. Just as he was about to make a beautiful forward turn in the air and land, Zhao Mai punched him!
"There is an enemy attack!" He shouted intentionally after punching.
Taleon reacted quickly, pulled out the sword behind him, and blocked Zhao Mai's fist with the plane of the sword. Zhao Maiman thought that his punch would have to break his sword. Unexpectedly, a white light flashed, and the will of the world popped out to play a role. Taleon was knocked out by Zhao Mai in the air, but he was neither injured nor broken, but he only consumed some "power of justice".
"Don't fight, this is Commander Taleon, and also the King of Calebrepeng, the elves." Zelatu said hurriedly.
"So that's how it is... Why did it suddenly appear from the top of my head? I thought it was an enemy." Zhao Mai withdrew his fist and laughed. "It's good to block it, and it's also good to land. It seems that your martial arts are good!"
"Blackfoot Commander, your fist is very hard." Taleon said: "You are the important orc commander of Mordor, who holds the secret of planting legion mushrooms and provides food for Zoro's dark army. Zera has mentioned you to me, and you are also seizing his sister."
"Yes, it's me. Zeratu's sister has always said that I am an important person and needs to find you through me. Now that I see you, I feel okay at the moment, at least I caught my punch."
"If you die, the power of Zoro's army will be reduced, and no one will underestimate you. But if you can oppose Zoro, then Zoro's dark power will be severely damaged. And you and I join forces, coupled with the power of justice and light everywhere, can completely eliminate Zoro's evil. What do you think?"
