It was still the swamp filled with thick fog. The six Achilles had been wandering here for almost ten days, but so far, they still had not found the whereabouts of the ancient palace.
The war between the gods that year directly transformed the prairie here into what it is today. Even after tens of thousands of years, some traces of the war between gods can still be seen.
Achilles and the six of them walked through this swamp and saw many bottomless puddles. The bodies of some powerful beings were floating in the cold stagnant water. []
Even standing far away from these puddles, you can feel the remaining fluctuations of divine power under the puddles.
These puddles of unknown depth were obviously created on the ground by the explosion of divine power during the war between gods. After thousands of years, the fluctuations in the divine power have not dissipated.
Through the clear stagnant water, the demigods could vaguely see the dust-covered corpses under the water. Among these corpses, there were human corpses and barbarian corpses.
And these corpses were all extremely powerful beings when they were alive, and the weakest ones were all at the quasi-god level, and a few had even reached the peak of the quasi-god level.
Achilles was very eager to get the corpses of these extremely powerful men, but there was a terrible power in these bottomless puddles that restrained these corpses. Even if Sinis and others tried many times, In the end, there was nothing I could do.
Fortunately, the deeper you go into the swamp, the more traces of the divine war appear, and more and more corpses of powerful beings appear in the chaotic backwaters everywhere.
Although the corpses at the peak level are all buried under the bottomless puddles, there are still many corpses at the ordinary level in shallower places.
This was another advantage for Achilles. With the help of the five Sinis men, they fished out these powerful corpses from the bottom of the water and let them all be swallowed up by the tree of the earth.
In these ten days, a total of seventy or eighty corpses of strong men were obtained, and the weakest among them were all at the quasi-god level. Unfortunately, they were all corpses of strong barbarians, and there was no divinity or divinity in them. Blood.
Although there is no divinity or divine blood, the skin, flesh, muscles and bones of these corpses contain powerful energy that is not weaker than the energy of quasi-gods, and are also excellent nutrients for the trees of the earth.
After successively devouring the corpses of these powerful barbarians, the number of branches on the Tree of Earth suddenly increased to two hundred, fully doubling.
After two hundred branches grew, the tree of the earth underwent a big change. The first big treetop finally appeared on the main trunk.
When the first treetop appeared, the atmosphere on the tree of the earth changed, and a steady stream of green light appeared.
And this side of the cave sky has also undergone extremely obvious changes. The original dead silence has been swept away. In the clear sky, thick spiritual energy is constantly flowing like water.
In the cave, the most obvious change was the small garden that Achilles arranged for Sophia. Those spiritual flowers, plants and trees, because they received sufficient nourishment of spiritual energy, grew rapidly in a short period of time, and the spiritual flowers competed with each other. Gorgeous.
Today's cave can be said to be a small world. Just from the concentration of spiritual energy, thousands of people can live in it for a long time.
If Achilles is willing, he can bring in thousands of slaves and cultivate a large area here. Although there is no sunlight, because there is sufficient aura, the plants will not be worse than the outside world.
The key point is that the time in the cave is different from that in the big world. It takes one day in the outside world, but three days here. In other words, it takes more than two months in the outside world to harvest a season of crops in the cave.
Although there is no sunlight and no perfect world rules in the current cave sky, the area of ????the space is still very large. As long as there is enough water, a lot of fields can be cultivated.
Unlike the outside world, there is neither drought nor flood in the cave. The temperature here remains normal throughout the year, making it suitable for planting at any time.
After noticing the huge changes in the cave, Achilles became active and planned to move some people into the cave and reclaim some land after returning to Thessaly.
In today¡¯s Greek mortal world, wheat cannot be grown on a large scale due to productivity levels and soil quality. However, it is different in winter. The soil is of the highest quality and is full of aura, making it perfect for planting wheat and other delicate crops.
Although the problem of lack of food has been temporarily solved since receiving the generous reward from the gods, in this era, food is the most important part of all mortal activities.??The key.
As the number of soldiers and slaves in his hands increases, the consumption of food will also increase accordingly. It can open up a stable food source, which will have many benefits for the future development of Thessaly.
What surprised Achilles the most was that as the tree of the earth swallowed up a large number of black shadows in recent days, seven green fruits appeared on the branches. It was the strange fruit that contained divinity. .
After thinking about it, he finally figured out the origin of these divinities. Countless gods had fallen on this grassland back then, and their blood was spilled here. Naturally, there would be some reservations about the divinity contained in them. down.
Of course, due to the passage of time, these divinities have dispersed, either in the air or sinking into the ground.
And those dark shadows derived from the obsession of gods have survived here for thousands of years, and they will naturally absorb some divinity.
When the tree of the earth swallows up the energy dispersed by these black shadows, it will decompose the divinity in it and combine it into a complete divinity.
These unexpected gains made Achilles overjoyed. The seven rays of divinity are almost twice the amount of divinity he possesses. If he absorbs these six rays of divinity, the amount of divinity he possesses will also reach It's double digits.
After seeing the true power of the five peak demigods of Sinis, Achilles's desire for power became even stronger.
Although his current strength is already at the forefront of all second-generation demigods, he has even left the first-generation demigods behind, and is on par with those ancient demigods who have lived for hundreds of years.
But for him, this power is far from enough. In this era where the gods are in power, if you don't have the strength to be on an equal footing with the gods, you will always have to do things based on the gods' faces as before.
On the road to becoming a god, the road ahead is bleak. Taking that final step requires not only talent and hard work, but also opportunity.
He may not know how long it will take to become a god, but the realm of quasi-gods is not that far away for him. If he can become a quasi-god, he will have a place in the world of gods.
So what he needs to do most now is to improve his strength as soon as possible and let himself step into the realm of quasi-gods.
¡¡
On the twelfth day after entering the swamp, they finally walked out of the haze and stepped onto a piece of solid land.
Surrounded by the dead, cold stagnant water, and the grass that has been barren for who knows how many years, this land is more like a lonely island.
This piece of solid land has obviously been baptized by divine wars in ancient times. There are no plants visible, only shocking ravines.
"Look there" Delis, who was walking at the front, found something on this land, pointed to a place in the distance, and shouted.
The demigods behind him looked in the direction pointed by his finger. On the land in the distance, there were seven or eight corpses lying in random directions.
Unlike the corpses they had seen in the past, there were no traces of time on these corpses. You could even see blood that had not yet dried on the ground lying on them. It was obvious that they had not been dead for much time.
The six demigods moved forward slowly, their minds on guard against dangers that might be hiding in the dark.
"They are barbarians. They should not have died for more than half a day." Skarong leaned down, turned over several corpses lying on the ground, checked them up and down, and said.
Achilles, who was alone, also came forward and his eyes fell on the corpses of these barbarians on the ground. On these corpses, there was a huge blood hole in the chest, and the heart inside was missing.
There are a total of seven barbarian corpses here. They all died in the same way. Their hearts were ripped out by some powerful being.
"There are not too many traces of fighting. The weakest of these barbarians is equivalent to a demigod with seven rays of divinity, and the strongest is equivalent to a demigod with fifteen strands of divinity. It seems that this lonely land hangs in the depths of the swamp. There are some extremely powerful beings on the land here." After examining the corpses, Delis frowned and did not say.
Hearing his words, several other people couldn't help but frown. Being able to easily kill seven barbarians of this strength, it is obvious that there are some powerful beings here.
And what they are most concerned about is how many barbarians have fallen to the ground this time, what level the strongest among them has reached, and whether there is any existence at the level of a quasi-god.
Achilles summoned the Four Elephant Furnace and took the corpses of these barbarians on the ground into the cave sky, allowing the tree of the earth to swallow them all.
After confirming that the barbarians had arrived early, they did not dare to delay any longer and cautiously moved towards the depths of the land.
