Chapter 541 Honeysuckle Tree, Silver Tree, Crimson Bitter Fruit

That hollow stump looked so huge.

In Jiang Yi's impression, the only thing that could be compared to it was the huge hollow tree stump that collapsed on the ground in the ruins of Benlang Territory.

Such a tree must have once blocked out the sun and was even larger and greener than the oak trees in the Windy Land of Mondstadt.

The ice covering the trees has melted, and the ancient trees have sprouted new branches.

What Jiang Yi saw was not only trees, but also ancient history.

"This tree was supposed to be covered by the ancient ice that I mentioned could only be broken by the 'Deep Red Stone'. But today, the ancient ice disappeared, and the dead tree came back to life, growing fiery red branches."

"Someone is making offerings to the tree, and the tree is giving back generously."

Yandora looked up at the tall tree and said, "Who is it?"

Jiang Yi walked towards the tree: "Probably Ying and Paimon, these two outstanding adventurers."

With a chuckle, I walked up the gentle slope. On the slope there were slender plants glowing blue. They were grasses called "Starfire".

Most of the glowing plants in Teyvat are affected by the energy of the earth veins, and the concentration of the earth vein energy can be understood based on the brightness of their light, so that ordinary people can avoid areas with concentrated earth vein energy to avoid being eroded.

"Some adventurers believe that the special red growth organisms of the 'Deep Red Stone' and these 'Starlight' grasses are the result of the influence of the same special force, creating the yin and yang sides of the universe."

Jiang Yi picked a "Star Firefly" at random. Even if he didn't figure it out, it would be nice to put it in the cave and cultivate it into an ornamental plant.

The thick roots of the hollow tree stumps are exposed on the gentle slope. The surface of the hollow tree stumps is covered with snow, and the texture is weathered and rough.

Jiang Yi walked step by step.

The new growth of the old tree within the hollow stump stared back at him.

The ancient tree is silver-gray in color, and there is a hollow tree hole at the root of the tree, inlaid with a huge prismatic red crystal, emitting red light, and the red light spots are floating.

You can feel the surging energy inside.

Jiang Yi looked up along the tree trunk. The silver-gray trunk was strong and vigorous, reflecting a silvery-white light in the sunlight.

Although not as big as the tree stumps in the outer circle that can be used as a hall, this new tree is also very thick and requires several people to hug it.

Red energy crystals spread on the trunk like blood vessels, mixed in the depths and surface of the silvery-white bark.

New branches sprouted from the broken silver-white branches at the top, growing from the broken ends and connecting perfectly.

The new branches are blood red, like red crystals, mysterious and gorgeous.

At the same time, there are butterfly-shaped blood-red leaves on the branches, which look strangely beautiful.

"Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, when the lonely king of Mondstadt was still alive, this place was a lush green land." Jiang Yi recounted the history to Yandora with emotion.

"In the days when the land of Mondstadt was covered with ice and snow, the living conditions were extremely harsh. Most of the ancestors had to enter the Stormwind King's City and accept the rule of the lonely king of the tower in exchange for shelter. Only a small number of refugees were scattered on the icefield..."

In addition to Yandora, the big tree with blood-red branches and silver-white trunk seemed to be listening as well.

Jiang Yi touched the tree trunk with his palm and continued, "Among them, there was a man named Faruxi who led his people to the snowy mountain area at that time. They discovered this paradise that was not covered by snow but remained naturally green and lush."

“They built a royal city here.”

Information began to converge with Jiang Yi on this tree.

"But the good times didn't last long. After just a few decades, the region was destroyed. Frost nails fell from the sky and turned the lush green land into pale snow. The silver-white trees that protected the entire snowy mountain kingdom also withered here."

Jiang Yi looked up and gazed at the vast clouds above the snow-capped mountains.

"The Frost Sky Nail is the mysterious structure that has now regained its energy and is suspended above the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. You can see it when the weather is clear or your eyesight is good enough."

"It was once broken into three pieces and shattered on the ground. Now it has probably been restarted by Ying and Paimeng and lifted into the air."

He smiled: "Thanks to them, the blizzard seal leading to the top of the snowy mountain has dissipated, and now we can reach the top."

Yandora clapped her hands: "Ying and Paimon are amazing."

"Jiang Yi is also very knowledgeable and knows everything."

"This tree must be the former Silver Tree."

Jiang Yi had information flowing in his hands: "This is the tree... the silver-white tree whose trunk and crown were destroyed and frozen by the scattered debris when the "spike" that froze the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain fell."

"Now, perhaps it should be called 'Honeysuckle Tree'."

The honeysuckle tree seemed to be sighing with age, and its fiery red butterfly-like leaves moved in the wind as if dancing.

"There are still people who remember everything!" It sighed with such emotion, and the language of the tree flowed in Jiang Yi's mind.

It was a tree that should have died, but a young girl in the kingdom took the most complete branch and gave it life.

The grafted life did not survive. The icy snow and wind, as cold as a knife blade, blocked out the moonlight and destroyed the country it shaded along with it.

Until, that day.

The dark dragon and the wind dragon fought to the death.

The dragon's rotten blood painted the valley, which was as white as ash, red.

Then it remembered that it did not die with the abandoned city.

What a vicious world it was, it thought, and its hatred for Heaven caused its old tree roots, which were spread all over the snow-capped mountains, to spread greedily towards the warm blood that irrigated the earth.

But the body is still frozen and still in shackles.

Until a blonde girl arrived with her friends.

It melted the ice, listened to its wishes, and watered it with the crimson essence, allowing it to gain more strength, grow quickly, and sprout new buds.

The new buds are no longer silver-white, but a "crimson" color, just like the bloody memories under the white snow.

It brings everything back to mind, recalls the past, a true resurrection.

"Special person! You graft yourself to us... You are a walking child, are you willing to listen to the wishes of an elder like me?"

"I have the crimson cold 'bitter fruit'."

"I gave one to the golden-haired girl. I will now produce another one. I hope you can work with it to bring down a fair 'reward' on this evil world, and use this 'bitter fruit' that is no fault of anyone to bring justice."

The crimson light shone on the trees like sticky blood.
