As the surrounding seawater was emptied, the quiet vines and branches of the Tree of Life fell to the ground under the influence of gravity.
The leaves emitting a faint blue light emitted patches of faint blue light spots that quickly filled the entire space.
It brought light to the dark seabed and…
“I can breathe!”
A player from the ten person team suddenly said in surprise.
Since the sea water was repelled by the protective magic circle, the entire space was devoid of water and air. They were exposed to it. Without the seawater to allow them to breathe underwater, they suddenly suffered from the negative condition of suffocation.
However, as a faint blue light filled the space, their suffocated state gradually disappeared.
It turned out that the sea elves could live safely on the seabed. In addition to the ability to breathe underwater, the Tree of Life provided them with oxygen!
This was so wonderful!
[F*k, 6666.]
[Originally, there were tens of thousands of sea elves, right? Does this mean that the Tree of Life can provide the oxygen needed by tens of thousands of people?]
[In any case, the land is so big. If we plant more trees in the future, it should be able to provide for hundreds of thousands of people.]
[Nonsense. How can ordinary trees grow in the sea without sunlight?]
[So out of our million strong army, only tens of thousands of people can enter?]
There was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast barrage. In the game, the sea elves were more excited than anyone else.
The sea elves were proficient in the water system. They raised a water shield once the sea water receded. The moment the water shield dissipated, the sea elves transformed into legs and put on exquisite clothes.
Even though they had prepared themselves mentally and told themselves to maintain a perfect image to welcome this historic moment, they still couldn’t help crying with joy when they saw their reclaimed homes.
The land hadn’t been fully recovered, but everything in front of them was like a dream compared to a month ago!
Chief Heidi also had tears in her eyes.
The wound on her palm was still bleeding. She could feel her weakness at this moment but…
She had no regrets at all.
“Mother…”
Little Sea Song stood beside her and held her hand in his little hand. A ball of blue light lit up and enveloped Heidi’s palm. The scar on her palm started to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was the water healing technique that Sea Song had learned at the Elementalist Academy.
He possessed talents in water and sound. He was a rare dual-element elementalist.
“Thank you, Baby.”
Heidi reached out and rubbed the child’s head. There was a tenderness in her expression that was rarely seen in the past.
[Wow, this scene is so beautiful.]
[The little prince, Sea Song, is really sensible. I like him so much.]
[What a cute human child. This is too much of a foul!]
[Upstairs, the little prince is a sea elf, not a human.]
[No matter what, he is in a cute human form now!]
At this moment, the teleportation circle suddenly lit up with a dazzling light. Once the light faded away—
[Wow, it is His Majesty Snow!]
[And Marshal Si Sheng!]
[Oh my, our Si x Snow is really inseparable.]
The ones who appeared on the teleportation circle were naturally Xu Sili and Si Sheng. As the ruler of Roland, Xu Sili had to be present in person for such a major event as recovering the territory of the sea elves. This showed his importance toward the sea elves.
In addition to the two of them, there was also an elementalist army of nearly 50 people.
They were all elites from various legions. Not only did they have a high rank, but also rich combat experience.
Since the number of elementalist warriors among NPCs occupied an absolute advantage, this army was basically composed of warriors.
These warriors were like fish in water. They could perform even better when coming to this area that was like their home field.
More teams would be sent here in the future, with different divisions of labor and responsibilities.
Some were here to guard the Tree of Life, some were here to fight alongside the braves, and some were here to build the land of the sea elves. All of these would be arranged one by one to develop the land of the sea elves into the first stronghold for humanity’s conquest of the sea!
“Your Majesty! I greet Your Majesty!”
The moment she saw Xu Sili and Si Sheng appear, Heidi didn’t dare to slack off. She immediately led everyone to salute respectfully.
So far, His Majesty Roland had fulfilled his promises to the sea elves and even exceeded expectations. Chief Heidi had already surrendered.
From this moment on, she would offer her never-ending loyalty to the Roland Empire as she had promised before!
Upon seeing this, the players in the ten person team quickly followed suit and saluted. Of course, their etiquette was much more perfunctory.
Xu Sili didn’t care about them. After asking everyone to stand up, he swept his spiritual power across the entire underwater world and nodded with satisfaction.
“Teacher Dominic, your magic circle is successful.”
He told the old man beside him.
Dominic had followed along. He was also very satisfied with this magic circle. However, this was only the first step
At present, this magic circle was centered on the Tree of Life. The range of effect was only around a kilometer more than the furthest canopy of the Tree of Life.
This was obviously far from enough.
However, this was only the first step in the plan.
The number of sea beasts near the Tree of Life was too dense. The only way to succeed was to use this overbearing magic circle to kill invaders within the coverage area at the beginning of the activation.
Next, they had to rely on the power of the army to eliminate the sea beasts that were still hovering around.
By that time, it would be enough to build a new and expandable protective magic circle that was mainly used to block out the sea water.
They could expand step by step. How long it took would depend on what the soldiers could achieve.
Next, Dominic said goodbye to Xu Sili and took his people to further investigate the underwater environment.
Moreover, the size of the teleportation circle needed to be adjusted.
At present, only 50 people could pass through at a time. This was still a bit inefficient.
The elementalists who came with the team also took the order and started to move around the territory of the sea elves.
They brought a lot of equipment with them.
First, a base station needed to be built so that the communicator could be used in the underwater world. Then there was the light equipment. Obviously, the Tree of Life alone wasn’t enough.
Finally, there was the transportation.
Since there was limited land in the underwater world, Xu Sili equipped each of them with a flying saucer.
The flying saucer was small in size and light in weight. It could be carried on the back when not in use. It flew very quickly. It would be more convenient to use these tools in the underwater world.
Once everyone was arranged, Xu Sili also stepped on a flying saucer and flew toward the Tree of Life.
It was the first time he had seen the Tree of Life in its complete form.
The small sapling like the forest elf tree was simply unsightly compared to this big tree that had existed for an unknown amount of years.
Just as he was shocked by the magnificence of the tree, a vine emitting a blue light cautiously reached out to him.
It moved very cautiously as if afraid Si Sheng was behind it. It even swayed from a distance to attract attention and avoid misunderstanding.
Xu Sili looked at the vine quietly while feeling a bit curious.
Finally, the tail of the vein gently touched his forehead. A faint blue light covered him and finally gathered in his body.
[Ding~ You have received the blessing of the ‘Sea of Life-Tree of the Sea.’]
[You will have all the abilities of the sea elves, including but not limited to vision in the dark, underwater breathing, underwater speaking, a sound skill bonus (sea singer), health enhancement…]
Xu Sili didn’t expect the Tree of Life to give him such a great gift, and…
What was this ‘Overlord of the Sea-Fish Tail’?
Did this mean he could turn into a merman?
He thought about it and decided to try it when he got back in the evening.
In addition to the blessing, the Tree of Life also gave him a leaf.
He knew that this leaf was very precious. His second brother told him that Grumpy Little Rabbit had auctioned this leaf for 5 million in real life money.
He felt that it was worth more than this, but this was still considered high for players.
The leaves of the Tree of Life allowed the holder to withstand three fatal injuries. This could be called treasures for NPCs who only had one life.
But…
Due to little Asheng, Xu Sili had no shortage of leaves from the Tree of Life.
The little girl would find excuses to give him one every few days. If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t fully accept it, the forest elf’s little tree would’ve been plucked by her.
Xu Sili still thanked the Tree of Life.
If the Tree of Life had a human form, it would be a very old person now.
He still needed to show some respect when facing the elderly.
Xu Sili and Si Sheng took a tour around the underwater world. During this time, the teleportation circle continued to light up.
The teams with different functions entered in an orderly manner according to the plan. Among them, the elementalist construction team was already quite skilled.
The infrastructure tasks of the major cities had been mostly completed. What was restricting Imperial City from upgrading to level 5 now was the various professional talents and the levels of the NPCs.
There was no rush in this regard.
After all, it had only been more than a year since Xu Sili came to this world. If he developed too quickly, his foundation might become unstable.
Now was the process of consolidation.
Once the production of elemental cannons increased and the problem of the sky interstellar beasts was solved, the major main cities could expand outward.
Xu Sili also intended to build a sixth main city.
But all these plans required time.
Therefore, the elementalist construction team had been idle for quite a long time.
Now that they finally had a new mission, they were all very motivated and determined to build the underwater world into a unique underwater city!
Seeing that everyone was working hard, Xu Sili and Si Sheng also went out to clear a wave of sea beasts.
They cooperated seamlessly and were the strongest on the field. Their efficiency in clearing monsters was beyond the reach of other players, causing them to feel faintly anxious.
His Majesty Snow rarely came out to assist. His posture of clearing monsters reminded them of the fear of having their monsters snatched away by Princess Silin that day.
No, no, no! Stop him!
In the end, under the strong request of the barrage in the live broadcast room, one member of the ten person team finally plucked up the courage to tactfully express his concern and care to the young man, letting him go back to rest.
Xu Sili could see what the players were thinking. He felt a bit amused but didn’t stay any longer.
He didn’t like clearing monsters anyway, and he was tired. He might as well go back and test out his newly acquired skill.
He didn’t know if it was really possible to develop a fish tail…
