The closer you get to the inside of the Jungle Gate, the more lush the trees around you become.⊙,

Even Sauron saw some oaks and maple trees with golden leaves. They didn't know how long these ancient trees had existed. They were all hundreds of meters tall, with lush branches and leaves covering the sky. Judging from the perception of the gods, these ancient gods all had a strong breath of life. This means that they were all active tree people, including many ancient tree wise men who were close to the legendary power. They were the real guards inside the Jungle Gate. Even if a team of legendary adventurers came over, it was unlikely that they would break through their defense line.

There is a special layer of alert protection here.

Under normal circumstances, even Sauron is difficult to break through, but he has a piece of equipment that is almost a magical tool for the wanderer.

That is the anti-detection cloak!

Here are defensive barriers arranged by nature guardians. Whether they are flying in the sky or running on the ground or wanting to sneak up close, they will be discovered by them.

The biggest function of the anti-detection cloak is to avoid any spells that detect invisibility.

This is also the reason why Sauron dared to come here. Otherwise, even if he was a saint incarnated by the gods, he would not be likely to escape safely under the siege of a large group of legendary tree people.

“Shadow Realm!”

"Shadow jumps!"

After getting closer to the guard circle of ancient trees, Sauron chose the safest way to enter.

His figure instantly escaped into the shadow plane, and then used the power of space to jump over the range of spell warning and appeared directly inside the rock shadow more than 100 meters away.

The legendary wanderers come and go without a trace depend on this kind of power!

A huge rhizome appeared in front of me. Soren reached out and pressed it on it. He could feel the slowly passing essence of life. The speed of this passing was not very fast, but the essence of life itself was too huge. Even though thousands of years had passed, these passing essences not only nurtured the semi-plane space of the Jungle Gate, but also continued to nurture the entire space.

It is like the oldest corpse of the Orbis devil in the bottomless abyss.

Some extremely huge corpses still exist in some places in the bottomless abyss, and the exposed part is like a mountain. They are at the same level as the huge ancient god corpses floating in the star world.

A golden oak appeared in front of me.

Sauron felt that this was a powerful guardian of nature. He only had one or two seconds to steal the water of life. If this time exceeded, the guardian of nature might block the space. At that time, even Sauron could not escape.

Run away if you get it.

And he could not return along the original path. There is only one way for Sauron to leave this semi-plane space safely, that is, to directly use the power of the "shadow" realm to shuttle from here to the shadow plane, and then return from the shadow plane to the material plane. In this way, even if the other party is the nature guardian of the high-level legend, Sauron is not afraid that the other party will find his traces.

There is only one chance.

Sauron couldn't help but take a deep breath and locked his eyes in front of the ancient tree's rhizome, where there was a special pool.

It's a bit like the reincarnation pool of Batto Hell, but it's full of purer positive energy.

"Shadow jumps!"

Sauron's figure rushed forward and crossed the space in an instant. He appeared next to the pool in an instant, and then took away a lot of life water in the blink of an eye, and the entire pool was lost by about one-third at once.

"thief!"

An angry roar sounded!

The golden oak wise man woke up in an instant, and its huge body stood up. With a powerful force raging, the space around him suddenly showed signs of being blocked.

"Dimensional blockade!"

A spell close to legend. It requires almost no casting action, and it is completed directly for convenience.

But.

At this time, Sauron had already realized something was wrong. He was not greedy and even if he had taken one more drop of life water, but in an instant he activated the power of the shadow domain and directly crossed the space barrier and entered the shadow plane.

A moment before leaving.

He felt many powerful auras burst out from all over the jungle gate, and the sky trees stood up one by one, and at least a dozen legendary ancient tree guardians locked here.

"Damn the thief!"

Angry roar echoed over the jungle gate, but at this time there was no trace of Sauron.

He only showed up from beginning to end for less than a second, and even these powerful legendary ancient trees did not find any traces of him, and even his appearance was not clearly seen.

Kill one person in ten steps. No matter how far you go, you can walk thousands of miles.

This was Sauron's favorite sentence back then, but if a wanderer wants to achieve this level, he must reach the legendary realm.

……………………

Everything in front of me is gray.

Sauron's figure appeared somewhere in the shadow plane, and he was not very clear about where it was. Because the situation was too dangerous at that time, he was completely teleported by randomly.

But it doesn't matter!

He can also return to the material plane through the shadow plane, and it will be easy to judge the direction at that time.

certainly.

Now we cannot return to the material plane directly, because the shadow plane is a plane that connects with the material plane. If we return to the material plane from here, we will probably appear directly in the foggy forest.

He has now stole the water of life from the ancient tree man. It will definitely be bad if he returns to the Mist Forest!

Sauron was about to set out from here, advance dozens or hundreds of kilometers in one direction, and then teleported back to the material plane. In this way, he basically left the range of the foggy forest.

As long as it is not in the foggy forest, there is no way for those ancient trees to deal with him.

Surrounded by fog.

It is impossible to determine the specific relationship between the material plane and the shadow plane, but what Sauron sees now is also an extremely dense forest.

The trees growing in this forest are like reflections. They have twisted roots and cannot even see a trace of green. All they can see is a gray tone.

The trees in the shadow plane are also gray.

There were strange screams coming from nearby, and there were many creatures that mortals didn't know about the shadow plane. Sauron saw a twisted shadow, and he almost didn't have much sanity. He quickly targeted Sauron.

"Arcane missile!"

A arcane missile directly took away the twisted shadows in front of him. They were souls who were accidentally reborn in the shadow plane, just like prayers in the bottomless abyss.

The distorted shadow begins to retreat.

Sauron observed the surroundings and then rushed to the south.

He had to leave this forest first and talk about the size of the material plane, the shadow plane would be as big as the size. Although it seemed very desolate here, there could still be some creatures to see.

Occasionally, some huge broken walls appear in sight, which are things left over from ancient times.

Falling gods, ruins of the Arcane Empire, and wizards in the shadow plane.

There are many gods left in the shadow plane. This plane was also developed during the Arcane Empire, so many broken buildings are preserved here.

This walk takes hundreds of kilometers.

There are few towns in the shadow plane, and the indigenous people are too scattered, and the population of the entire shadow plane is less than one thousandth of the material plane.

This is the territory of the Lord of Shadows.

As a god of medium divine power, He has a wide influence on the shadow plane, and his kingdom of gods is also somewhere in the shadow plane.

This is a natural convenience.

Although He was forced to leave his kingdom of God because of the catastrophe of the Holy One, He was closer to his kingdom of God than other gods.

“Shadow Realm!”

With the distortion of space, Soren returned to the material plane again.

There was still a vast primeval forest in front of him. He blessed a flying technique to observe the surroundings and unexpectedly found that he was already very close to his destination.

This is the elves' territory.

That is, he was hunted by the gods of hunting, and it was about a hundred kilometers away from here to Luoye City. A towering mountain blocked the route, making it difficult for half-orcs to reach this side. It was also like a natural barrier that separated the elves from more connections with other races. He had always been able to travel through the forest on the other side of the elves when he went to the elves' kingdom, so he would have to walk hundreds of kilometers more.

"Safe!"

After confirming that there was no danger, Sauron took a short rest and began to observe the properties of the Water of Life.
Chapter completed!
