CHAPTER 655: Spirit Race Lady King
After studying the Clear Tone Bird for a while and realizing he couldn't discover anything, Zhao Hai gave up and instead admired the scenery of the spirit forest.
It was beautiful, breathtakingly so. From within the woods, it felt like a magical world, but looking down from above the forest was even more shocking, truly astonishing.
As far as the eye could see, there was a vast expanse of green. This green was different from that of the grasslands; the green of the grasslands appeared flat, like a carpet spread across the ground. In contrast, the green here felt like stepping into a world of greenery, filled with all kinds of trees of various shapes and leaves of every form imaginable. If the green of the grasslands resembled a tranquil sea, then the green here was like a furious ocean, displaying myriad hues of green.
Though this display was still, its beauty left one in awe, not any less impressive than facing the vast sea. Zhao Hai quickly became enchanted by the scenery before him.
Once Billy and the others got used to the initial discomfort, they too were captivated by the sight. One of them even stood with his mouth agape, occasionally exclaiming in amazement.
Suddenly, a massive tree came into Zhao Hai's view. It was the largest tree he had ever seen. Although he had seen a giant breadfruit tree on Monkey Head Island, that tree was nothing compared to this one.
The only plant Zhao Hai could think of that could rival this tree was Cai'er; the scene in U City could only be compared to this massive tree—it was simply breathtaking.
They all stared blankly at the tree when suddenly a line of black dots emerged from the woods. The line quickly approached them, revealing a group of spirit race individuals riding the Clear Tone Birds.
These spirit race individuals wore long green robes that were incredibly beautiful and appeared very ethereal, crafted from materials unknown to Zhao Hai.
Leading them was a female spirit race member, followed by others who held harps, indicating they were musicians. However, the female leader wielded a magic staff, suggesting she was a mage.
The musician riding the Clear Tone Bird bowed to the female spirit race leader, saying, “My lady, Clan Leader Billy and Mr. Zhao Hai have arrived.”
The female spirit nodded, turned to glance at Billy and Zhao Hai, and politely bowed, saying, “Galadriel greets Clan Leader Billy and Family Head Zhao Hai.”
Zhao Hai and Billy quickly returned the gesture. They dared not show any arrogance towards the spirit race, known for their pride; if Zhao Hai and the others were too rude, the spirit race might turn hostile on the spot. At this moment, there was no need to offend them.
Zhao Hai understood that while the spirit race might be a bit rigid, their combat power was formidable. Having them as allies would undoubtedly benefit their future plans.
Galadriel nodded to the two and said, “Please, the lady king is awaiting you.” With that, she turned her mount and flew towards the giant tree.
To be honest, Zhao Hai was somewhat surprised by the spirit race's attitude towards him. Despite being aware that he was a dark mage, they were still so polite, which was unexpected for Zhao Hai.
Soon, they entered the tree, which was indeed enormous. Zhao Hai could see many spirit race individuals busily working on its branches. Compared to this giant tree, they looked like tiny ants.
Under the guidance of the spirit race members, the Clear Tone Birds landed on a branch with a diameter of several dozen meters, yet it was not the thickest branch of the tree.
After dismounting from the Clear Tone Birds, Galadriel approached them and said, “Please follow me.” She gestured with her hand, and Zhao Hai and the others quickly followed her along the branch.
As they walked, Zhao Hai looked around; the tree was simply colossal. He had no idea how high it was, as even from the back of the Clear Tone Bird, he couldn't see the top of the tree. The trunk was so thick he couldn’t even estimate its size, but he could tell it was not much smaller than Golden Island. The entire spirit race seemed to live within this tree.
