Chapter 927: Tree of Life

The absence of the 4 masters caused a bit of disturbance within the union. It seems like something big had happened.

Just like the other masters, Abel did not bring his followers along. Instead, they stayed in the union.

First, they teleported to the palace through the potion maker union’s teleportation circle. Then, Big Druid Lendo from the palace guided them to a private teleportation circle within the palace.

In a flash of white light, Abel sensed a familiar feeling. He arrived at a valley, and they were standing in front of the entrance.

2 powerful energies on par with big druid Lendo scanned his body.

Although he passed the teleportation circle, he knew he was at Ervo forest. It was not far from Bay Law city. He knew because he had set up a 2 sides teleportation circle in his mansion. It was his best lifesaver.

Since the teleportation circle in his portal bag was still connected to the one in Bay Law City, it meant that they were still within 500 miles.

Master Nolan also mentioned that Bay Law City was built for the tree of life, so they shouldn’t be too far apart.

“My Masters, please follow us and mind your steps!” Big Druid Lendo reminded them, turning his gaze, especially towards Abel.

Since the other masters had been here, Abel was the only one in the dark.

As they entered the valley, Abel realized the only man-made object was the teleportation circle. Everything else was kept in its natural form.

They turned and finally came across the tree of life. It was impossible to avoid as the thing was gigantic. It was almost covering the entire valley.

Abel realized why he sensed a familiar feeling. The energy of this tree was very similar to the fruit tree he had in the Rogue encampment.

“Is my fruit tree a tree of life as well?” Abel thought to himself.

This tree of life in front of him was bigger than anything he had ever seen. Suppose it was not in a valley. I might be taller than anything in Ervo forest.

This valley had perfectly hidden the tree of life despite how wide its branches were.

The tree of life could be seen everywhere in the 10-mile wide valley. However, sparkling sunlight still managed to sift through its branches, adding a vile of mystery to the place.

At that moment, Abel realized why big druid Lendo reminded him to mind his steps. The space under this tree was filled with all kinds of valuable potions. Most of them were master’s degrees as well as some extremely hard to grow common ones.

If he was not careful and stepped on a special one, it would be a big loss.

This place was the elves’ best garden. Under the tree of life’s energy, all the herbs were growing extremely well, which made Abel quite moved. He could also grow some things under his tree of life in the Rogue Encampment, but he didn’t have anyone to take care of them for him. He wouldn’t waste his training time taking care of some herbs.

And it was even more unlikely that he would bring someone into the Dark World for some herbs.

Last time the Blizzard’s law-defying wizard Marlon chased him all the way to the Dark World. He didn’t want to go through another life and death experience like that.

Druid Lendo walked for a long time and finally reached the truck of the tree of life. He said painfully, “My masters, something is happening to the tree of life. Its water of life production has been decreasing, and its leaves are drying up. Please take a good look and find out the reason!”

Abel looked at Master Nolan and Master Muir. Afterward, Master Muir said, “Master Balfour, you can go first!”

Master Balfour was the oldest and the most experienced, so it made sense for him to go first.

Although they all inherited different potion-making skills, they all had one thing in common: plants’ knowledge. Because of this, potion makers could easily spot what was wrong with an ingredient and minimize error when making a potion.

“Ok, I will go first!” Master Balfour nodded. The safety of the tree of life was the most important, so there was no need for any of them to reject.

Master Balfour stepped up and closely examined the dried-up branches. He followed the little details, kneel, picks up a bit of soil from the ground, and put it in his mouth,

With the help of Big druid Lendo, he examined the leaves closely again.

After a while of examination, he was frowning badly. His face was pale and old in the first place, and it just managed to look worse.

“Everyone, I don’t know what caused the tree of life’s problem!” Master Balfour shook his head.

His face was filled with disappointment, and so was big druid Lendo. He could not stop worrying.

“Let me have a go!” Master Muir stepped forward and said.

“I’ll come with you!” Master Nolan followed. She interacted with Master Muir a lot, so the both of them could work well together.

Both of them arrived by the tree of life and repeated the steps. They were no longer as confident. Master Balfour was superior in both skills and experience. If master Balfour couldn’t find out why then they probably couldn’t either.

They analyzed everything around the tree of life, including the soil and the herbs. They were all in good condition.

Only herbs that could not affect the tree of life were grown around, and they were all examined.

Normally, the tree of life’s powerful life force would not be affected by the soil. Instead, it could alter the soil for the better.

This was why so many valuable herbs could thrive.

After half an hour of examination, Master Muir returned to big druid Lendo and lowered his voice. “Sorry, Druid Lendo. I can’t find the reason as well!”

“Me too. Everything seems normal. It is just like the last time we checked!” Master Nolan was also not looking good.

Druid Lendo did not reply. Big druids were also very knowledgeable in plants, but he too couldn’t find the reason. He turned his gaze towards Abe and lowered his voice “Master Bennett, please have a look.”

All his hope was on Abel. He was aware of the powerful Abel shown recently. Although he was always skeptical about Abel, Abel was recognized by the goddess, so he couldn’t say much.

Abel smiled, approached the dried-up tree branches, and ignited his soul speaker ability.

“Master Bennett, you are a soul speaker?” Master Nolan gasped.

Soul speakers were extremely rare, even in the elves. Each of them was valuable.

“Soul speaker can not communicate with the tree of life!” Big Druid Lendo shook his head.

The elves had already sent soul speakers to communicate with the tree of life long ago, and they all failed. Therefore, the elves speculate that soul speakers were not at a level the tree of life recognized, so they could not communicate with each other.

Abel did not examine the tree branches or the soil like the other masters. Instead, he wanted to communicate with the tree of life like a life force and ask it questions.

He gently placed his hand on the tree of life and reached his power of the will within it. Soon, the special energy of the soul connected with him.

It was a great soul. Abel sensed a heavy life force through his power of the will as it mangled with his own life force.

Soon, strange scenery emerged in front of Big Druid Lendo and the other masters’ eyes. Green energy wrapped around Abel, and they could no longer sense Abel’s presence.

It was almost like Abel had merged with the tree of life, and he had become a part of it.

Loneliness, joy, and many emotions rushed out from the tree of life’s soul. It had recognized this soul speaker.

There was a strange tree of life contracted bond within Abel, which made this tree of life from the elves realize it was not the only one.

This being in front of it was the contractor of another tree of life, so it accepted him and began to treat him like a fellow.

“What happened? Why are your leaves drying up?” Abel asked after he had gained a good connection with the tree of life.

The tree of life did not reply in words, but it sent out an idea. It was a strange feeling, similar to Abel’s intuition.

Suddenly, he sensed an immense threat. Of course, his life was not actually being threatened. It was just a feeling the tree of life gave him.

Because of this threat, the tree of life had lowered its water of life production, and its leaves began to dry up.

Abel comforted the tree of life through his power of the will and promised he would help him find out the source of this danger.

The tree of life felt a little calmer after Abel’s comfort. With the help of the outer world, its leaves and branches began to move and recover again.

Afterward, a patch of fog gathered around the tree of life and quickly surrounded Abel. The fog began to concentrate and slowly formed a little puddle.

“Master Bennett, please use a bottle to retrieve the water of life!” Big druid Lendo reminded.

Abel suddenly realized what in front of him was the water of life, so he took out a crystal glass from his portal bag and carried the water within it through his power of the will.

“Thank you, the tree of life!” Abel sent a message of gratitude, and the tree of life replied by saying that it wanted Abel to come back for a visit soon,

“Yes, I will when I have the chance!” Although the tree of life had existed for countless years, it still felt like a child to Abel.

Abel let go of his hand and walked back to big druid Lendo with a bit of sentiment.

“Master Bennett, what is happening to the tree of life?” Big druid Lendo asked with excitement.

Actually, he didn’t need an answer anymore. The tree of life had recovered during its conversion with Abel. The crisis was defused.

The 3 masters’ curiosity looked at Abel. They were not expecting someone to save the elves from a crisis with just a move.

“Druid Lendo. The tree of life has only recovered temporarily. Maybe the elves will be in big trouble!” Abel looked into the big druid Lendo’s eyes and lowered his voice.

He did not exaggerate. The tree of life sensed such immense danger even with the status of the elves in the Central Continent as well as Bay Law City around Ervo Forest. The elves must be in for something big.

“Master Bennett, please tell us more!” Big Druid Lendo’s face turned from excited to serious as he lowered his voice as well.

“When I was communicating with the tree of life, It told me it is sensed a threat to its existence, which caused it to lower its production!” Abel said.

“Threat?” Big Druid Lendo mumbled. He then said loudly, “Impossible. Other than the elite druids we sent to the wizard union, we have not fought in thousands of years. There will never be a war in the New Asia Kingdom!”
