Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 203

Wizards of the “Drywood Council” will plant a Darkwood Tree in every invaded plane, which serves as both a base and a plane anchor.

The Darkwood Tree has strong combat ability and many auxiliary functions. It can be said that the “Drywood Council” has been able to enter the second-rate ranks due to the contributions of the Darkwood Tree.

Long ago, when he encountered the Palace Rose and the Plague Vineball, these undead plants, Su Nan already vaguely guessed that the Black Forest was likely a legacy left behind by the “Drywood Council.” Now, seeing the Darkwood Tree, he directly confirmed this point.

“No wonder the environment here is so gloomy, it turns out the Drywood Council is behind it.”

Su Nan muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the black giant tree in front of him.

Whoosh!

The branches and leaves of the Darkwood Tree suddenly trembled, and then a low, hoarse voice, like that of an elderly man, suddenly sounded.

“Lucky Wizard, congratulations on passing the test of the Black Forest.”

The voice seemed to come from all directions, as if it was coming from the body of the Darkwood Tree in front of him.

“As a reward, you will receive the Millennium Tree Essence.”

A long black branch stretched out from the thick canopy, reaching all the way to Su Nan’s face. The tip of the branch was embedded with a piece of wood that seemed to have been scooped out from the trunk, its surface covered in wood grain.

The entire piece of wood was only the size of an egg, but Su Nan could clearly feel the vast energy it contained.

A flash of light crossed his eyes.

The Millennium Tree Essence, formed by the condensed essence of a magical plant that has grown for over a thousand years after its death, contains vast and gentle energy that can be absorbed without refining or purification, significantly increasing spiritual refinement, and is very popular among first-rank Wizards.

Just this small piece of Millennium Tree Essence could increase his spiritual refinement by at least 10%.

Due to its extremely harsh formation conditions, it not only requires a magical plant, but also one that has grown for over a thousand years, so the Millennium Tree Essence is quite rare.

Even the “Drywood Council,” which specializes in plants, produces no more than a dozen Millennium Tree Essences per year.

Su Nan really didn’t expect that the “Drywood Council” would leave behind the Millennium Tree Essence in the Black Forest as a reward for those who pass the test.

Moreover, since it’s a reward, does it mean there’s more than one Millennium Tree Essence?

Such a generous reward is not like the style of a dark camp.

Su Nan’s eyes flickered slightly, he took the Millennium Tree Essence without showing any change in expression, pretending to put it into his spatial ring, but actually placed it into the Magic Cube.

When he saw the words displayed on the Magic Cube, he had a look of understanding, and secretly sneered.

As expected, it was as he guessed.

“Alright, Wizard, you can leave.” The low voice of the Darkwood Tree sounded again, “The Black Forest is about to close, and it will reappear in twenty years. I hope to see you again then.”

“You probably don’t hope that.” Su Nan said meaningfully.

“. What do you mean by that?”

“Literal meaning.”

The moment the words fell, Su Nan suddenly flicked his wrist, two Thunderburst Engraved Gemstones flew out of his hand and turned into dazzling violent thunderbolts in mid-air, roaring towards the Darkwood Tree.

At the same time, a small, exquisite spearhead fell into Su Nan’s palm. As his five fingers closed together, a profound light instantly burst out from between his fingers, quickly transforming into a black spear.

Chi!

The spear flew out, turning into a black streamer that shot through the void like lightning, towards the Darkwood Tree.

Whoosh!

A large amount of liquid metal surged out from Su Nan’s body, condensing into countless silver sharp cones in the void, densely packed almost filling the sky, and then swept out like a violent storm.

At this moment, Su Nan almost used all his strength, his three strongest trump cards were all unleashed, aiming at the Darkwood Tree together.

The Darkwood Tree didn’t expect Su Nan to suddenly attack, caught off guard, it didn’t have time to do much defense, it could only control the roots and branches to drill out from the ground and the canopy, quickly weaving together into a thick vine net in front of it.

But the next moment, the vine net was torn apart and shattered by the incoming thunderbolts, turning into fly ash and dissipating in the air!

Following closely behind, the black streamer pierced through its tree trunk!

As the violent black thunder exploded, a shocking pit instantly appeared in the center of the Darkwood Tree’s massive trunk!

Through the pit, one could even see the charred wood inside where faint smoke was rising, as well as the scenery behind the tree.

Before it could catch its breath, the silver metal storm followed closely behind, tearing open one wound after another on the tree trunk, accompanied by the incessant sound of sizzling.

After a series of fierce attacks, the Darkwood Tree was already covered in wounds, and let out a shrill wail.

Whoosh!

Violet flames suddenly ignited from the center of its tree trunk, spreading rapidly to the entire tree body and canopy. The silver sharp cones came into contact with these flames and were instantly vaporized.

“Wizard!”

The Darkwood Tree finally had the energy to ask angrily, countless black branches sprang out from its canopy, like poisonous snakes aiming at Su Nan.

“Why did you attack me?”

“Why are you still pretending at this point?”

Su Nan sneered, his eyes scanning the violet flames on the Darkwood Tree.

Silence!

After a long time, the Darkwood Tree finally spoke slowly, but this time the voice was no longer low and hoarse, but instead became a sweet and mature female voice.

“How did you find out?”

The voice was strangely familiar.

Even though he had only heard it once, Su Nan still had a deep impression.

It was the voice of the Dark Elf’s protector – the voice of the Spider Queen!

He had heard it three years ago when he killed the Semi-Spider Deity’s devotee.

“You guess.” Su Nan said calmly.

In the Magic Cube display, the Millennium Tree Essence was indeed a real one, but a little something was added to it – a terrible spider venom!

Once he absorbed the Millennium Tree Essence without any precautions, the spider venom would naturally enter his body, eroding and corrupting his flesh and soul.

Su Nan could tell with his toes who had done the trick.

This kind of tactic was not the first time.

After hearing Su Nan’s words, the Spider Queen did not get angry, but instead seemed thoughtful.

“It was my mistake.”

“When I saw that you hadn’t been hit by the soul poison I left behind earlier, I should have guessed that you had the ability to detect poison, and I should have used a more subtle method.”

Su Nan’s face was impassive, but he sneered inwardly.

With the Magic Cube, no matter how many methods the Spider Queen changed, it would be useless.

Furthermore, even without the Magic Cube, he would not have fallen for the Spider Queen’s trick.

He had already suspected that the Spider Queen might be interfering with the Black Forest, and now he saw the “Drywood Council” leaving behind the Millennium Tree Essence in an unreasonable way, he had already suspected something, and he would never have absorbed that piece of Millennium Tree Essence rashly.

The Spider Queen’s failure was because she didn’t know that he was very familiar with the “Drywood Council.”

The gap in information doomed the Spider Queen’s plot to failure.

“You seem to have many secrets hidden in you.”

The Spider Queen’s voice carried a hint of interest.

“I’m surprised that the Starlight Continent can still produce a Wizard like you today.”

“I’ve started to be interested in you.”

“But I’m not interested in you.” Su Nan’s face was indifferent, “Deities should stay in their own divine realms, isn’t the Abyssal Web big enough for you? Whether it’s before, now, or in the future, the Starlight Continent is not a place you can interfere with.”

“. You seem to know a lot about me?” The Spider Queen’s voice paused slightly, “I’m becoming increasingly curious about your origins,”

“You can go back and think about it slowly.”

The Spider Queen chuckled, her voice tinged with a touch of charm.

“Young Wizard, I lost this time, as a reward for you winning against me, this tree trunk is yours.”

“I look forward to the day when we meet again in the future, and I hope you can bring me some more surprises then.”

With the Spider Queen’s voice, the violet flames on the Darkwood Tree gradually weakened.

When the last word fell, the last trace of flame also extinguished.

The aura of the deity completely disappeared from the massive tree trunk.

Realizing her complete failure and unable to turn the tide, the cunning deity decisively admitted defeat and left, putting her hope of revenge into the future.

Su Nan just scoffed at this.

He would indeed likely meet the Spider Queen again in the future, but it would definitely not be the scene she expected.

In the memories of the future, that ambush against the Spider Queen by the Wizards would end in a crushing defeat, but that was without his intervention.

If he were to come along as the “yellow bird” in the back, it would be a different story.

Maybe he could give the Spider Queen another “surprise”!

Su Nan concentrated and sensed for a while, making sure that the Spider Queen had indeed left, then he walked up to the Darkwood Tree.

The Darkwood Tree had the function of a space anchor, and could also serve as a space channel for interplanar travel.

The reason why the “Drywood Council” left behind the Darkwood Tree in the Black Forest was probably because they wanted to wait until the Starlight Continent’s plane barrier was almost repaired, and then use the Darkwood Tree as a springboard, before other Wizard factions, to send people into the Starlight Continent ahead of time, to seize the initiative.

But then the Spider Queen discovered the Black Forest, so she took over and used the Darkwood Tree’s spatial anchor function to open a gap, infiltrating her divine power, which led to the series of events in Spider City.

In other words, as long as the Darkwood Tree was destroyed, it would be equivalent to severing the Spider Queen’s channel of infiltrating the Starlight Continent.

Before the plane barrier was repaired, she would not be able to intervene in the Starlight Continent anymore.

If Su Nan hadn’t sneak attacked and severely injured the Darkwood Tree, the Spider Queen would certainly not have given up so readily, there would definitely be a fierce battle between the two.

Su Nan stroked the rough surface of the Darkwood Tree, sensing the dense divine energy remaining inside, a smile appeared on his face.

This Darkwood Tree was already dead.

That piece of Millennium Tree Essence was probably the essence condensed after its death.

The dead tree trunk had long been transformed and modified by the Spider Queen into a tool for transmitting divine energy, so it also contained a lot of divine energy.

The Spider Queen didn’t really intend to leave the tree trunk to him as a reward, but for the time being, she couldn’t withdraw the divine energy inside, so she had no choice but to give up.

The so-called reward was just a face-saving statement.

No matter what, it was good news for Su Nan.

With so much divine energy, his spiritual refinement would be able to experience another leap forward.

Boom!

A deafening sound suddenly came from afar.

Su Nan came back to his senses from his joy, immediately soared into the air, looking towards the distance.

At the end of the horizon, large swathes of distortion were visible to the naked eye, filling every inch of space in the void, slowly but steadily advancing, devouring everything.

Huge trees were shattered and crushed in the distortion, annihilating and disappearing.

“Is the space collapsing?”

Su Nan frowned, glanced at the Darkwood Tree, and realized after a moment’s thought.

The core of the Black Forest was probably the Darkwood Tree.

Its death led to the natural collapse of the Black Forest.

It was just that the Spider Queen had been maintaining the stability of this space before, now that she had left, the space naturally could not be maintained.

Su Nan was slightly regretful.

He had originally thought that he could take the Black Forest into his possession, but now it seems impossible.

“Well, the environment of the Black Forest was originally restricted in its use, and giving up is giving up.”

Su Nan shook his head, put away his thoughts, and began to explore the area, looking for the resource storage points of the Black Forest.

However, he didn’t know whether the resources had already been taken away by the Spider Queen, or the “Drywood Council” hadn’t left behind any resources at all, he searched for a long time but found nothing.

“The “Drywood Council” wouldn’t have planned to cultivate any Wizard Apprentices at all, would they? They just used this place as a pure space anchor?”

Su Nan was a little disappointed, but thinking about the Millennium Tree Essence and the tree trunk containing divine energy, his mood improved a little.

With these two things, this trip was not a waste.

Seeing that the spatial collapse was about to spread to his side, Su Nan didn’t delay any longer, and immediately put away the tree trunk.

It was a good thing that he had the Magic Cube, otherwise, he really wouldn’t be able to take away such a massive tree trunk.

Su Nan guessed that the Spider Queen must have thought of this too, leaving the tree trunk behind was perhaps intended to make him feel the frustration of being able to see it but not eat it.

It could only be said that the Spider Queen was not a person who would willingly suffer losses.

Activating the Black Key, Su Nan’s figure then disappeared into the air.

Not long after, the large swathe of spatial distortion swept over like a tide, engulfing the last bit of space.
