Chapter 393: Chapter 194: Clue of Wind Ancient Tree and Ancient Tree of Knowledge

“Very well, let’s go and take a look at the War Ancient Tree now,” Cao Xing said.

The tree spirit sisters nodded slightly and then led him to the edge of the territory’s wall.

From a distance, Cao Xing saw three lush, towering ancient trees ahead, each over a dozen meters tall.

The branches of the ancient trees were gnarled and robust, covered with the wrinkles of age, and the foliage was dense and thick.

The brown trunk had a diameter of over a meter, straight as a pole, and the lush green leaves spread like an open green velvet umbrella, swaying gently with the breeze.

Like all ancient trees, this tree’s trunk also bore an old human face.

At this moment, Sarah stood beneath the ancient trees, gazing at the three ancient trees.

Seeing Cao Xing approach, the dark elf gave him a slight bow.

“Sarah, why are you here?”

Sarah replied, “Lord, I came to see the guardian of our Dark Elf Tribe, the War Ancient Tree.”

Hearing this, Cao Xing realized, “So the dark elves have such deep connections with these ancient trees.”

At this moment, the three War Ancient Trees emitted a deep, timeless voice.

“We never expected to take root again in this place and even encounter dark elves…”

“Miss Sarah, how is the Dark Moon Forest? What was the outcome of that invasion war?”

Sarah shook her head, “I don’t know what happened after that invasion war.”

“On the eve of the invasion war, I died during a mission and was then sealed in the Summon Space, only recently reborn…”

The three War Ancient Trees appeared to have a look of realization, “It seems we have experienced a bit more than you.”

Sarah asked, “What happened after I was sealed? Did we lose the war?”

The War Ancient Trees gently shook their crowns, “We don’t know how the war ended either.”

“We only saw the invaders’ army descending from the sky, destroying the Dark Moon Forest along their path.”

“Numerous War Ancient Trees, Trees of Life, and Wind Ancient Trees were burned to ashes.”

“And the dark elves also sacrificed their lives in resistance.”

“Later, our trunks were ignited in battle, the flames consuming us, turning us into seeds at the last moment of life, slumbering for countless years…”

“Then, we don’t know what happened, but we somehow arrived on the Western Continent.”

Cao Xing listened to their conversation, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Another invasion war?

Before, Hilda seemed to have died in an invasion war as well.

Could it be the same war they were talking about?

Cao Xing decided to gather them all later to inquire about this war.

At this moment, the three ancient trees looked at Cao Xing respectfully.

“Thank you, Lord, for granting us a second chance at rebirth.”

“We will guard your territory like the stars in the sky, day and night.”

Cao Xing nodded, “Welcome, ancient guardians from afar.”

Then, he glanced at the attributes of these ancient trees.

…

After reviewing the attributes,

Cao Xing thought with satisfaction, “Not bad, although a 15-level Elite Monster isn’t very useful to me, these ancient trees’ skills are excellent for defense, their attributes are quite decent.”

“They not only have a range exceeding Intermediate Elemental Arrow Towers but also possess control skills and different defense modes.”

“They are not entirely helpless once enemies get close.”

“And the most crucial part is that these ancient trees can also receive various status enhancements.”

“In other words, if these War Ancient Trees are bestowed with statuses, their strength will undergo a transformation!”

At this moment, an idea suddenly struck Cao Xing.

“After entering melee mode, although the War Ancient Trees are strong, their movement speed becomes very slow.”

“But if empowered with Hilda’s Queen’s Will, could they run swiftly?”

With this thought, Cao Xing decided to try it out.

He called Hilda, Yilena, Liu Muxue, Blot, and others over.

Then, he looked at the three War Ancient Trees.

“Ancient guardians, please receive the blessings we bestow upon you now.”

After speaking, Cao Xing had everyone cast a myriad of states onto the War Ancient Trees.

They clearly felt their aura surging dramatically.

Even their ancient, calm faces showed intense fluctuations!

Their awe-filled eyes turned to Cao Xing, then to Sarah.

“Lady Sarah, you seem to have come to a remarkable territory…”

Sarah’s lips pressed into a subtle smile, then she nodded slightly.
