ARC 11: SPRING COMES UPON A WITHERED TREE

Chapter 135

TL: Sarah

Elves possessed their own sub-space. Unfortunately, due to the decline of power, Shang Ke could only hold up those ten seeds inside it. Moreover, he needed to release them to absorb elements every once in a while as the sub-space could only maintain the most basic biological capabilities.

Shang Ke collected the ten seeds into the sub-space while the remaining two were temporarily hung on his waist by woven ropes made of aquatic plants. After a friendly negotiation with a black bear, Shang Ke sat on its broad back and left the burned forest, accompanied by several small animals who had lost their homes.

The main activity area of the specters was in the northeast, so Shang Ke chose to head towards the southwest. However, he couldn’t be too far away from the center of the mainland. He had to be well-informed at all times to find the whereabouts of the phantom jade.

The forest burned by the specters was called “Wasier” and it covered an area of nine million square kilometers. It was the second largest forest area in the continent of Anglo. It produced one quarter of the world’s oxygen and had active natural elements, making it one of the four forbidden areas that the specters abhorred the most. The world’s largest forest area was the original residence of the elves—Faesier. Although it had not been completely destroyed, it had become one of the battlefields of the alliance group and specters.

The fire destroyed more than hundreds of thousands of trees in the north of Wasier. Although the total area of the forest was only a fraction of it, the rate of the specter’s destruction far exceeded the recovery speed of the forest. If they continued to burn every pieces of it , no matter how large a forest was, it would be destroyed one day.

According to the continental map provided by the System, Shang Ke finally settled down near Yunning Lake in the southwest of Wasier Forest. It was only a few hundred kilometers away from Lundo City which belonged to the Human Alliance. There was also a War Camp where mercenaries gather. It probably won’t be easy for the specters to extend their reach over here.

The original spirit of this body hadn’t dared to contact with any race. He wandered from place to place alone for nearly a hundred years, just to take care of the elf seeds. Unfortunately, he failed to see that day.

Shang Ke stood in front of a big tree covered in vines and slowly raised his hands. Green light sparkled from the tips of his fingers and it turned into a twinkling river that circled around the tree. As the river light flowed, vines twined and interweaved as if they were alive, and with the trunk as the pillar, a delicate and lovely rattan house was slowly created. Simultaneously, a small yellow flower bloomed on a branch, then the second and the third. In an instant, the house was blanketed in flowers like a lamp that was brightened with colorful lights.

The chirping of the birds rang out clear and cheerful in the forest. The leaves swayed gently in the breeze and the magical green luster sparkled under the sun. When the warm wind blew, the fragrance of the flowers overflowed.

Surrounded by vibrant elements, Shang Ke could feel them singing silently to him, as if they were welcoming the arrival of Teldrassil with endless joy and admiration.

Deep in the woods, a man stood quietly and watched the elf immerse himself in nature, taking in the beautiful view of his magic. He had been following the elf for several days from a distance, watching him shuttling through the forest alone with animals. He saw him drink clear spring water, eat nectar, and perch on branches, looking carefree and serene like a slowly unfolding image that made people unable to move their sight away.

He had seen many mixed-race elves but they were more or less worldly in spirit. None of them had such a light spirit and incomparable natural affinity as he did.
