Wizard Immortal

Chapter 126 Golden Tree

"The concentration of energy particles in the surrounding area is starting to increase."

Upon arriving here, Adi immediately sensed obvious energy particle fluctuations in the surroundings, and even faint traces of residual radiation.

Around him, Kradi and Radel also wore expressions of surprise and uncertainty, clearly sensing the significantly increased concentration of energy particles around them.

This is not normal.

The generation of energy particles is related to the environment. In a seawater environment, apart from some energy particles that prefer the seawater environment, the rest of the particles will be repelled, and the overall concentration of energy particles should be greatly reduced.

However, according to the three of them, when they reached a depth of more than 200 meters on the seabed, the concentration of energy particles around them suddenly increased, becoming even more active than in the outside world, which seemed very abnormal.

They glanced at each other, both clearly sensing that something was amiss.

After a while, they continued walking forward, slowly tracing the lingering ripples.

"Light!" A faint whisper echoed around them, reaching Adir's ears precisely.

They stopped at a certain place.

Ahead of them, a glimmer of light began to appear, though extremely faint, it was so conspicuous in the surrounding darkness of the seabed.

This is more than 200 meters deep in the ocean. Sunlight cannot reach this distance, and there is no light around, only deep darkness.

In this environment, a glimmer of light appeared, which was abnormal no matter how you looked at it.

"Radiation fluctuations detected!" The voice of the chip machine rang out again in Adir's mind.

Silently watching the light ahead and listening to the prompts from the chip in his mind, Adir's expression was somewhat solemn.

"Shall we go in?" A mental fluctuation rang out around us.

In the dim light, Claudie looked behind him and asked the two men.

"Let's go in," Radel said. "I have a feeling this is a ruin, and we might find something unexpected inside."

"Moreover, considering that the bull-headed sea monster was not only unharmed but was also desperately trying to prevent us from passing through this area, there shouldn't be any danger inside!"

"I have no objection." Adil said, watching the scene ahead.

Having reached a consensus, they began to slowly move forward.

Because they didn't know what lay ahead, they moved slowly and cautiously. There were even faint fluctuations of magical power emanating from their bodies, clearly indicating they were mentally prepared.

As soon as something unusual happens ahead, they will immediately unleash their magic.

Time passed slowly, and after a short period of time, they successfully approached the source of the light.

In a huge depression, a small tree, about half a meter tall, emitted a faint light. It looked very beautiful and noble, but it seemed unusual just by looking at it.

On the trunk of this small tree, there are dozens of golden leaves, each with an extremely fine texture, emitting a faint light.

Around the sapling, there were some extremely incomplete textures that continuously emitted a faint radiation.

"This is... the legendary, extinct Goldennion tree!"

The three of them were immediately struck by the sight of the small golden tree.

The so-called Golden Tree is an extremely rare and precious wizarding plant in the wizarding world. Its leaves can directly strengthen the body and enhance mental power, making it an extremely valuable item even for formal wizards.

"You can speak normally now!"

Upon reaching the vicinity of the depression ahead, the three discovered that the surrounding seawater had disappeared, and air began to reappear around them.

"It must be the effect of those incomplete witchcraft arrays, designed to protect this Kinnera tree."

After casually glancing around, Claddy said, "Judging from the situation here, there should have been a defensive magic array here before, but after so much time, it's completely ineffective now."

"Look there."

At that moment, Radel pointed to the distance.

A huge opening appeared at the edge of the witch formation, looking as if it had been smashed open by some enormous creature.

"That bull-headed sea monster passed through there, so there shouldn't be any safety issues."

Looking at the opening, Radel spoke.

"Then what are we waiting for!" Seeing the opening, Claudie quickly walked over.

At first, they were still wary, fearing the defensive measures of the remaining witch array in this ruin.

After testing the waters with some methods, they cautiously moved forward.

"It seems there are no problems."

Once they safely entered the witch's formation, the three breathed a sigh of relief and then had time to look around.

This place was clearly once a small ruin, surrounded by numerous traces of witchcraft arrays, guarding the golden Naira tree in the center.

"This site has existed for at least five thousand years."

After briefly surveying the surroundings, Claddy spoke first: "This ruin should have originally been protected by special magic arrays, but these arrays have been damaged, which is why the energy particles that were originally locked within the ruins have been released."

"The wizard who set up this ruin was at least a formal wizard. If the magic circle was still intact, even if we came to this area, we wouldn't find any trace of the ruin."

He recounted everything he had discovered in one breath before turning to the other two.

"The magic array in the ruins has recently shown signs of being damaged, probably by that bull-headed sea monster."

Standing aside, looking around, Adir added.

"Why didn't that sea monster just take the Goldenra Tree away? Why did it stay here guarding it?"

Listening to Adir's words, Radel said with some doubt.

"This is due to the special characteristics of the goldenrain tree."

Cladi interjected, "While the leaves of the Kinnera tree can enhance physical strength and even directly boost mental power, consuming too many at once turns them into poison. Even a minotaur of that size could only manage seven or eight leaves at a time; any more would cause adverse reactions."

"Moreover, this Kinnera tree cannot survive in seawater; it can only remain active within the witch array here."

He sneered, "That bull-headed sea monster was probably planning to claim this area as its own territory and then come to eat some leaves every now and then. I didn't expect that we would just happen to run into it."

After saying this, the three of them looked at each other and then walked forward in unison.

Ahead, the golden Chinnara tree stood quietly, its trunk, which was only half a meter tall, looked very thin, and its main trunk was only as thick as a little finger.

The golden tree has many gaps, and only two or three thin branches and a dozen or so leaves remain.

"Damn it, how many leaves did that bull-headed sea monster eat?!"

Seeing this scene, Kradi's face turned ashen: "What a waste! The leaves of the Kinnaen Tree are the most effective at enhancing mental power; each leaf is worth at least several hundred magic stones! This minotaur has actually eaten so many!!"

Standing to the side, Radel's expression also turned somewhat grim: "There are only twelve leaves left, enough for each person to have four."

"The main trunk of the tree has likely lost its vitality," Adir added, his face grim as he stood closer.

He had studied under Edith, who was an expert in botany, for a long time and was very knowledgeable about the characteristics of many plants. He could tell at a glance that the vitality of the golden tree in front of him had begun to wane.

"Damn it!!"

Listening to the two men's words, Claddy stepped forward and, under the watchful eyes of the other two, conducted a rough examination before concluding: "Most of the activity in the trunk has disappeared, but there is still a slight activity in the roots, and there is a very small chance of regrowth."

"A very small possibility?" Radel asked doubtfully, standing beside Adir.

"If we could obtain something of the level of the Fountain of Life, there might still be a chance to save him." Standing there, Claddy's lips twitched, and he said with a hint of helplessness.

"That kind of thing is extinct now, who could get their hands on it?"

Hearing Kradi's words, Radel's lips twitched as well, and he said speechlessly.

The so-called Fountain of Life is a legendary spring that contains powerful life force and has the effect of prolonging life. It is an extremely precious high-grade material.

However, such things have long since disappeared from the wizarding world. Even if they existed, they would surely be collected by formal wizards to prolong their lifespans, and these third-class apprentices would have no chance of obtaining them.

"It seems this is the only way."

Looking at the golden tree in front of him, Claudie looked somewhat helpless.

Strictly speaking, their harvest this time wasn't bad at all. Even though a Golden Tree had lost its vitality, its leaves alone were worth tens of thousands of magic stones. Even if divided among three people, each person could get an average of several thousand magic stones, which was a huge sum for a third-class apprentice.

Even for Adir, this was a considerable sum.

But everything is most vulnerable to comparison.

If this Golden Tree could be saved and even continue to grow, its value would be immeasurable. Even if it were only on its last breath, it would still be worth at least tens of thousands of magic stones, enough for these third-class apprentices to do whatever they wanted.

Thinking of this, Adir couldn't help but sigh softly, and his right hand, which was originally ready to draw his sword at any moment, was gently lowered.

Wizards are mostly rational and indifferent, and often only care about their own interests.

If this Golden Nen Tree in front of them can be saved, its value would definitely be enough for the three of them to turn the tables here.

However, since it was an irretrievable golden tree, although it was very precious, it was not enough to make several third-class apprentices turn against each other here.

Standing aside, under Adir's senses, the magical power that had been faintly gathering on the other two also began to slowly dissipate, clearly indicating that they had also given up on the idea of ​​turning against each other.
