From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 382 - 270: Forester and the Knowledge Ancient Tree_2
Chapter 382: Chapter 270: Forester and the Knowledge Ancient Tree_2
His use of the word "please" still maintained politeness, but his tone was clearly displeased now.
Black Field and his three companions didn’t intend to give up so easily, threatening, "We just want to take a look at the Knowledge Ancient Tree. If you won’t even agree to this request, then I suspect there’s an Abyss Pollution Source inside."
Seren’s expression became even more solemn as he coldly snorted, "I’m telling you to go back for your own good. Dare to offend us further, and don’t blame me for being rude!"
Black Field whispered with the Perceiver by his side, then a cold smile hooked on his lips.
Because his team’s Perceiver had detected the energy wave fluctuations from Seren’s body, their Energy Level wasn’t particularly high. freёwebnoѵel.com
His organization had obtained information about the Queldorei Continent, so he knew what the Knowledge Ancient Tree was.
Coming across the Knowledge Ancient Tree was like encountering a great opportunity. As long as they broke in, they could gain tremendous benefits.
In such a situation, how could they possibly give up?
Had Seren demonstrated terrible strength, they might have retreated, but the Energy Level of the wave fluctuations from Seren’s body wasn’t high.
Black Field raised his hands, revealing two Arm Blades as he coldly snorted, "We must see the Knowledge Ancient Tree today. I advise you to step aside quickly, or it’ll be sorry."
Neither side was willing to back down, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing.
...
At this time, Lu Heng and his two companions were also walking deeper into the forest.
Su Muyu’s Chongming Bird spotted the conflict ahead and spoke, "The team led by Black Field is having a confrontation with the Forester Seren. They want to enter the forbidden area of the forest to see the Knowledge Ancient Tree, and Seren disagrees. It looks like they’re going to fight."
Lin Zeyu asked curiously, "What is the Knowledge Ancient Tree? Are there any benefits to seeing the Knowledge Ancient Tree?"
Lu Heng indeed knew a bit about this, having heard rumors about the Knowledge Ancient Tree.
"The Knowledge Ancient Tree is a special life form in the Elf World, with a very long lifespan. The Knowledge Ancient Tree may have experienced thousands of years of hardship and possesses a certain Divinity.
"If you see the Knowledge Ancient Tree, you might have the chance to receive the tree’s blessings and gain various rewards. It’s possible to improve body attributes or even gain Skills."
Su Muyu nodded and said, "No wonder Black Field and his team want to see the Knowledge Ancient Tree. What should we do? They might start fighting."
Upon hearing about the rewards, Lin Zeyu’s eyes lit up, "Should we sneak in while they’re fighting and claim the blessings of the Knowledge Ancient Tree first?"
This method seemed like a shortcut, but it did have a chance of success.
However, the Main Quest clearly guided Humans towards establishing relations with the Elfs, and offending an Elf Elder at this time wasn’t a wise choice.
Moreover, Lu Heng always felt that this Seren was not simple. "You need to think carefully about one thing. Seren might be over seven hundred years old. Are you sure you want to make an enemy of such a being?"
Lin Zeyu laughed, "I’m just throwing out an idea. Respecting the elderly is our tradition."
Su Muyu continued, "Should we help out?"
"Wait a bit," Lu Heng wanted to know exactly what rank of Elf this Seren was.
The three continued to walk forward, without deliberately speeding up.
...
Deep in the forest.
The standoff between Black Field’s team of four and Seren continued.
Seren had yet to take action, but he didn’t step aside either.
Black Field sensed Seren’s hesitancy to make a move as if he had seen through the Elf Clan’s weakness.
In his view, if the other party had the strength, they would have acted by now. The hesitation meant no strength.
In such moments, it was his turn to show face.
Black Field’s lips curled into a cold smile as he stepped forward, "Let’s be sensible and move aside, or face the consequences."
His three teammates also drew their weapons, revealing disdainful expressions, ready to walk past Seren.
Seren’s gaze darkened as he shouted, "Halt!"
Black Field’s group didn’t stop, looking at Seren with provoking eyes, and were about to pass by him.
Seren grunted angrily, raising his palm to draw a surge of Magic Energy.
The ground swelled with a dozen small mounds, and then several tendrils of vines broke through the soil, entwining towards Black Field’s team.
Black Field snorted coldly, swinging his Arm Blade and cutting the vine reaching for him.
Now that they had acted, he intended to use the force of thunder to kill the aged Elf.
After cutting the vine, he leapt up, pouncing toward Seren in the air and shouted, "Give me a Shield!"
His team’s Support system Superpower User immediately waved the Magic Wand, casting three or four shields on him.
Black Field charged at Seren, raising his Arm Blade high, and threatened, "I’ll give you another chance. Let us pass, or I’ll step over your body!"
"Arrogant!"
Seren roared, opening his palm. The surrounding space suddenly shook, and the entire forest seemed to sway in that instant.
Then, a pair of antlers began to grow from his forehead.
As the antlers grew longer, the Energy Level emanating from his body also soared higher.
A bright symbol emerged on his forehead, and in an instant, he seemed to transform into a god of the forest. The trees of the whole world responded to his call.
Black Field’s Perceiver turned pale in fear, exclaiming, "No, something’s wrong! Super high Energy Level! Super high Energy Level!"
In that moment, Black Field’s Arm Blade was about to chop at Seren’s head. Hearing his Perceiver’s cry of alarm, his heart tensed and he tried to stop the blade, but it was too late.
