Chapter 21 Looking Forward
A tender green new bud slowly emerged from under the withered trunk of the Ancient Elven Tree.
The elves passing by seemed to be used to this
scene.
In the past, the elves would probably have run to Galadriel in shock.
Ever since Undine healed the Ancient Elven Tree with the aura released by the golden egg,
The blackened necrotic area on the tree trunk completely faded in less than a year.
Then, the Ancient Elven Tree began to regenerate at a very slow speed.
Almost every day, new buds appeared on the Ancient Elven Tree.
The recovery of the Ancient Elven Tree also brought new life to the entire Golden Forest. Some extinct animals began to appear!
The plants that had been declared extinct by the rangers were also found one day in the grass or under trees.
The entire Golden Forest gradually recovered from the dead silence that had lasted
hundreds of years.
Even the diluted special magic power in the
Golden Forest was replenished!
The elves living in the Golden Forest naturally
felt such an obvious change.
However, the elves did not know why the
Ancient Elven Tree had improved.
They all believed that Galadriel had
contributed to this.
By now, part of the Ancient Elven Tree had
grown green.
Although it was not worth mentioning compared to the size of the entire Ancient Elven Tree, all the elves knew that this represented hope!
At that moment, Galadriel and the three elders arrived under the Ancient Elven Tree.
Looking up at the ancient tree, the few of them could not help but feel a little excited.
Today, he might be able to completely revive the Ancient Elven Tree!
The few of them were not in a hurry. Instead, they closed their eyes and quietly felt the vitality of the Ancient Elven Tree.
A few minutes later, Gwen appeared not far away.
“Your Majesty, the seventeen elf envoys are in position. The Jadeite City is completely under our surveillance.”
With that, Gwen left quickly.
The elves who had been suddenly summoned
were now fully armed and guarding the surroundings of Jadeite City.
Other than Gwen, no one present knew why
martial law had suddenly been imposed.
Each of their positions was connected,
forming an array pattern.
As the final Gwen came to the designated
spot, all the elves erupted with magic.
The entire Jadeite City formed a solid magic
shield from top to bottom.
Under the ancient tree, Galadriel opened her
eyes. Then she held the golden egg reverently and came under the Ancient Elven Tree.
Undine joins in. When she opens the bottle, the golden egg trembles again.
As the first drop of Philosopher’s Blood landed on the eggshell, the scales on the surface of the golden egg immediately relaxed a lot.
A moment later, the scales also emitted specks of light, but that was all.
“How is this enough?!”
Chen Kun complained.
Galadriel and the others saw that the golden
egg was trembling very violently. It looked like it couldn’t wait to drink from the bottle.
Immediately, they understood.
No wonder the Philosopher’s Blood that had just dripped on the egg did not react. This was not a few years ago.
After the golden egg absorbed the Anti-Magic Stone and many medicinal liquids containing magic power, its appetite must have grown a
lot. “Why don’t… we pour it all in?”
Undine’s words immediately drew an eye roll
from Slyph.
“How can you make such a joke? I’m afraid even the Queen can’t withstand the magic power contained in this bottle of
Philosopher’s Blood.”
“Our goal is not only to heal the ancient tree but to hatch this egg.
Undine smacks her lips in embarrassment.
Actually, if she’d been the one operating, she
probably would have done so, even if she knew there was a risk.
This was because the essence of an alchemist
was to be a gambler with a theoretical basis.
“Let me try pouring a third first and see how it works.”
With that, a large pool of Philosopher’s Blood
appeared in the air and covered the eggshell. Seeing that the golden egg wasn’t reacting very much, Galadriel gritted her teeth and poured all the Philosopher’s Blood. The golden egg was completely enveloped by the Philosopher’s Blood. A moment later, the scales on the surface of the golden egg greedily absorbed all the Philosopher’s Blood.
“Knock, knock!”
A soul-piercing heartbeat came from the golden egg.
Before they could recover, another strong heartbeat followed.
Sensing the golden egg’s terrifying vitality,
for some reason, Galadriel thought of the Elven Goddess.
The three elders behind her could not hide their shock at this moment. Everyone’s expressions were a little out of control.
“This vitality is simply comparable to the Ancient Elven Tree back then!”
“I can’t believe it. The Ancient Elven Tree has
grown for thousands of years. Only a few
years have passed since this egg appeared!”
At this moment, the scales on the surface of the golden egg seemed to come alive, accompanied by flowing runes. The scales actually flowed along the surface of
the golden egg. One could vaguely feel a disdainful aura.
At this moment, Galadriel and the others were
even more certain that the creature in the egg was definitely not ordinary.
Because even they felt an inexplicable
pressure.
Suddenly, the golden egg expanded a lot
without warning. Then, a large amount of
cool aura surged out from the cracks of the scales.
At the front, Galadriel only touched it for a moment before feeling the magic power in her body burning!
She stepped back quickly. She didn’t want to
waste any of it on herself at such a critical moment.
As the cool aura surged into the Ancient Elven
Tree, there was a crisp crack from the trunk. Immediately after, like spring bamboo shoots after rain, countless young sprouts squeezed out of the withered body of the ancient tree.
The branches that were already growing well seemed to have been cast with an acceleration spell.
In a few breaths, an arm-thick tree fork appeared in front of Galadriel!
Every leaf on it was filled with abundant
vitality!
Although they had expected this, they could not help but look excited to see it with their own eyes.
Outside, the elves did not know what had happened. However, at this moment, they were especially happy, as if they had returned to playing under the ancient tree. Under the ancient tree, the happy Galadriel
and the others turned their gazes to the
golden egg. They could not forget their contributions.
However, they realized that the golden egg had shrunk back.
There was not even a crack on the eggshell. “It still hasn’t broken out?”
Galadriel went forward and picked up the egg. She could feel the life inside go dormant again.
In fact, Chen Kun had fallen into a deep sleep
the second time he accepted the Philosopher’s Blood.
He did not expect the magic power contained in the Philosopher’s Blood to be so vast. His body began to absorb greedily as it came into contact with the Philosopher’s Blood. He also began to grow slowly with the injection of huge magic power.
As for what was happening outside, he had no idea.
By the third day.
Chen Kun, who had slept his fill, opened his eyes in satisfaction.
But when he was about to find the beautiful
sister, he was depressed to find that he didn’t seem to have hatched.
He was actually still in the shell!
