Beneath the Red Dragon-Chapter 230 - 87: Victory_3

At this moment, the damaged Tree of Life suddenly shook its leaves, shooting down several rays of green, translucent light around itself, shining onto an elf who had lost both legs and was on the brink of death.

Karon and the others remained still. Although they were on alert, they were not panicking. They all knew that the Tree of Life itself was not capable of attacking, otherwise it wouldn't rely on elves and War Ancient Trees as guardians.

The elf warrior, who had lost both legs and seemed to be at death's door, suddenly regained his breath, as if a giant hand was lifting him slowly into the air.

The elf warrior's previously light-green eyes turned completely white, and the voice that came out from his mouth was hollow and mechanical, not belonging to a living person.

"Giant Dragon, I am willing to submit to you. Can you spare me?"

The spines on Karon's cheeks twitched slightly. He opened his big mouth, revealing his long fangs, and maliciously smiled, "It seems you have developed unusual wisdom. Well, convince me, prove that your existence holds enough value to me, beyond the value of your body!"

"I don't know what your definition of value is, Giant Dragon. Could you give me a hint?" The consciousness of the Tree of Life was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"That depends on what you can do for me. For instance, your Life Tree Heart, I can use it to make Magic Potions that extend life, enhance my strength, or forge powerful weapons, maybe even Legendary Weapons." Karon showed his full malice. Although the other had developed intelligence, in Karon's eyes, it was just merchandise to be appraised.

The consciousness of the Tree of Life sensed this malice, and its hollow voice manifested a hint of urgency, "Living within my influence, you can absorb the life aura I naturally release, which can enhance strength and physique."

Karon shook his head, "I can't live in this world for long, nor can my people move here because of this. You'd better present a more valuable ability."

The consciousness of the Tree of Life became more urgent, and its previously mechanical words became more vivid. It hurriedly said, "I can also temporarily stop growing and fully gather the world's life aura to condense the Water of Life."

"Consuming this Water of Life over a long period not only improves physique but also extends life, and even allows those with low fertility or who have lost fertility due to age to produce offspring.

"The Spring of Life, which I fully condense each year, is enough to allow dozens of elves to breed offspring. Even if a Dragon has lost its ability to reproduce, with enough Spring of Life, it can breed offspring again."

The hearts of the Dragons and Mages present slightly stirred.

Those Dragons who lost their reproductive ability are all powerful Ancient Dragons. Enabling these mighty beings to reproduce again, the function of the Water of Life is indeed formidable.

The Mages had even more ideas. The Squinting Mage even thought of exchanging some Water of Life to earn the friendship of powerful beings. If they could nurture the offspring of those powerful beings to become their partners, that friendship would be even better.

But the decision of this matter was not in the hands of the Mages. If they wanted to obtain enough Spring of Life, it depended on Karon's opinion.

Although Karon was surprised by the efficacy of the Spring of Life, he still shook his head and said, "Not enough. These two points are of no use to me right now."

The consciousness of the Tree of Life was momentarily stumped. If it weren't afraid that the Red Dragon would immediately cut it down, it might have roared in anger, "You need to stop interrupting me!"

However, it was still struggling for its life, "I can bear fruit. As long as I gather all the Power of Life meant for growth and development, I can periodically yield fruits brimming with the Power of Life. Consuming them allows for an increase in lifespan."

"The longer the time, the better the effect. If a fruit takes three years to grow, it may only increase lifespan by one year. If it takes five years, then it can increase lifespan by two years. If it exceeds ten years, the lifespan it can increase is roughly equivalent to the growing time!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

At this moment, all the Dragons and Mages were moved, and the Mages gathered around became even more eager in expression.

Among these Mages were those as talented as Hughes, who stepped into the High Tier Mage realm at a young age, just a step away from the Holy Sanctuary.

But most sought to exchange time for more Magic Knowledge and power growth. These Mages, although quite talented compared to ordinary people, were uncertain if they could reach the Saint Tier threshold before the end of their lives.

Therefore, they were particularly attentive and focused on items that could extend lifespan. Some High Tier Mages even secretly vowed to themselves, planning to contact the Dragons once they returned, to see if they could exchange their loyalty for a chance to obtain a Life Fruit, or at least the Spring of Life.

However, the mages' behavior caused a misunderstanding among the Imperial Guard Warriors loyal to the Red Dragon around Karon, who approached, tightly surrounding these Mages, their heavy blades slightly raised.

Karon shook his head and quickly signaled the Imperial Guard Warriors to relax.

The fruit of the Tree of Life, this legendary treasure, had not even been seen by the Dragons; perhaps only a few Dragon Gods had witnessed such a thing.
