Milton Cheney’s spiritual power gradually dissipated, and memories of the Mudom Plane appeared in his mind.
He now found himself in a massive forest, surrounded by towering trees.
The sunlight was blocked, casting an eerily gloomy atmosphere.
The Mudom Plane, also known as the Forest Plane, was, without a doubt, a place abundant with trees.
And the inhabitants here were not humans, but the Treant Tribe.
This race also existed in the Wizard Realm but Milton had never encountered them before.
The Eye of Truth floated, with Milton boldly examining his surroundings.
After switching to the White Wizard Path, Milton had constructed several First Ring Magics.
However, for environmental detection, he felt that the Eye of Truth was the easiest to use.
“Complete the mission as soon as possible and then leave here.”
Milton muttered to himself.
The next moment, he took the first step.
There was another simple reason why he wanted to complete the mission as quickly as possible.
That was because time in this plane passed slower than it did in the Wizard Realm.
A year here was only a month in the Wizard Realm.
Therefore, in this place, the accumulation of his Simulation Count would be very slow.
The longer he stayed, the more valuable his simulations would become, so naturally, Milton wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible.
Countless members of the Treant Tribe lived in the Mudom Plane, and the most valuable thing on these trees was the Heart of the Treant. However, Milton’s current mission had nothing to do with the Heart of the Treant.
His target was an uncommon mineral on the Mudom Plane, the Muddy Red Crystal.
This red crystal served as an excellent container for spiritual power infusion, making it a suitable experiment material.
Before coming here, Milton had studied numerous records about this plane and even conducted a Text Simulation, so he wasn’t completely unfamiliar with it.
Time passed, and Milton began to invoke the Minor Teleportation Technique stored in his Spiritual Sea.
His figure was teleporting to every corner of this massive forest.
Although the red crystal wasn’t the most common mineral on the Mudom Plane, due to the environmental conditions here, many natural mines remained unexploited.
If Milton could just find a small crystal mine, it would be enough for him to complete his mission for the Guardian Sea.
“Outsider!”
Suddenly, a slightly unfamiliar syllable echoed in Milton’s ears.
Hearing this voice popping up in his mind, Milton instinctively released the Minor Teleportation Technique and disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, when he reappeared, a colossal vine, like a whip, manifested above his head.
The vine swiftly descended, aiming directly at Milton himself.
The mighty whipping sound was like thunder, causing Milton’s face to grow serious.
A book was suspended in front of Milton in an instant.
The book opened, and five pages shone with a faint fluorescent light.
[First Ring Magic • Soul Barrier] x5!
A pale-yellow barrier appeared around Milton, forming a total of five layers.
“Boom!”
The thick vine smashed into the pale-yellow barrier, creating a vast noise.
The resultant wind rushed in all directions.
Milton’s heart became slightly heavy.
Milton knew that the Mudom Plane was not welcoming to outsiders.
However, he hadn’t expected a sudden attack from a Tree King the moment he arrived.
In the Mudom Plane, countless forests existed, and to the Treant Tribe, each of these forests was its own kingdom.
The one who attacked Milton was, without a doubt, the ‘king’ of the forest in which he currently resided.
[Second Ring Magic•White Raven True Form]!
The next moment, a streak of white light flashed across Milton’s body.
Milton disappeared, a huge white raven taking his place.
The white raven’s sharp claws grabbed onto the vine and then swooped towards the Tree King along the vine.
The speed of the white raven was indescribable.
In just a blink, Milton found himself facing a towering ancient tree that stretched into the clouds.
On the surface of the ancient tree was an old face brimming with rage.
“So, it’s you! The foul-smelling bloodline creatures.”
The ancient tree spoke, its loud voice permeating the area.
Milton’s eardrums were slightly trembling, but it had no effect on him. Upon reaching this point, Milton, who had transformed into the white raven, had his red eyes fixed steadily on the ancient tree before him.
This doesn’t make sense. You’re the one who attacked first, pretending to be the aggrieved party.
Milton could understand the language of the Treants, although it was still a bit foreign to him.
However, he understood the meaning of the Tree King’s words, which meant the King had encountered wizards practicing the Bloodline Path before.
And, it was because of Milton’s bloodline that he had been attacked.
However, since the Tree King started the fight, Milton naturally had no intention of holding back.
Milton’s red pupils oozed a thin trail of fresh blood.
[Second Ring Magic-Eye of the Deathbringer]
A flash of red light flashed in the blood-soaked pupil of Milton and then vanished.
A hint of disdain appeared on the aged face of the ancient tree in the front.
A green film appeared in front of the ancient tree, and the branches and leaves emitted faint fluorescent lights.
It failed!
The Eye of the Deathbringer had no effect on the Tree King.
In fact, up to this point, Milton was still somewhat confused.
Because in the Text Simulation, he had easily returned to the Guardian Sea by completing the mission in less than a year.
There was no mention of the Tree King before him in the simulated descriptions of this year.
The next moment, a whirlwind erupted.
Transformed into a white raven, Milton Cheney gently flapped his wings, avoiding the blow.
Now that Milton had his guard up, the ancient tree’s attack had no chance of hitting him.
The scene suddenly became a bit of a stalemate.
In the end, it was Milton who made the move!
“Second Ring Magic-Light of the White Feather!”
A pure white feather fell from Milton’s body, held in his beak.
The next moment, a dazzling white light shot out from the pure white feather, aiming straight at the Ancient Tree King. The Ancient Tree stood still, unable to evade.
So it took the blow head-on.
A large hole appeared in the colossal body of the ancient tree, and green liquid flowed out from the hole.
“Sss,”
The gushing green fresh blood seemed like water meeting fire, making a hissing sound.
A trace of pain appeared on the weathered face on the surface of the ancient tree, but it returned to normal the next moment. The wound was also slowly reverting to normal.
The vitality was too strong!
Milton knew that the Treant Tribe of the Mudom Plane were difficult to deal with, but he did not expect them to be this tough.
As a Level 2 Blood Wizard at his limit, he was unable to do anything about the Ancient Tree King before him.
This tree king corresponded to a Level 2 Wizard, Milton was very clear about this.
But just as every wizard path emphasized different aspects, each race also had its own uniqueness.
Undoubtedly, the advantage of this Tree King right before him was his extremely strong vitality.
“Do I really have to bombard it with magic?”
Milton mumbled to himself.
Right now, the ancient tree had stopped moving and did not initiate any attack.
So Milton, transformed into a white raven, perched on a tree branch, refraining from acting rashly.
In the end, Milton abandoned the idea of bombarding with magic.
The reason was simple – it wouldn’t be much use.
The roots of this ancient tree probably spread throughout the entire forest.
Unless Milton could overturn the entire forest with one blow, otherwise, the ancient tree before him could easily recover.
Milton’s pupils were locked firmly on the Tree King before him.
The weathered face on the ancient tree’s surface changed from anger to some confusion, and finally, it spoke:
“You’re not from the Black Lizard Scholars Association?” Hearing this, Milton was stunned, but he quickly understood.
So he was the scapegoat!
“No, I’m a student of the Guardian Sea.”
Milton replied, he had nothing to hide about his identity.
Hearing Milton’s words, the face of Alan appeared somewhat incredulous. “How could the Guardian Sea accept a bloodline individual, and such a…” As he was speaking, Alan seemed to struggle to find a suitable adjective. The next moment, the Book of Truth floated before Milton. Alan saw the Book of Truth and was surprised, but also relieved.
The Guardian Sea.
Whether it is in the Wizard Realm or in the peripheral small and medium-sized planes, this wizard organization had an excellent reputation.
The young man in front of him was from the Guardian Sea, suggesting that he had mistaken the identity of this man.
So the weathered face on the surface of the ancient tree became somewhat embarrassed.
“I’m truly sorry, I mistook you for a malicious blood race from the Black Lizard Scholars Association. ”
Milton did not respond.
The white light flashed on the surface of the white raven, and he transformed back into his humanoid form.
However, Milton was still on guard inwardly.
Seeing that Milton did not speak, Alan thought it was because he had suddenly attacked, and felt somewhat guilty.
So he began to explain: “The Lizard Scholars Association arrived in Mudom twelve years ago…”
Although Milton was still on guard, he didn’t mind being a listener.
As time passed and Alan finished speaking, Milton understood why this Tree
King had been so hostile towards him initially.
I really am a scapegoat!
This Mudom Plane is actually a prospective conquest plane of the Black Lizard Scholars Association.
What it means by prospective conquest plane is that the Black Lizard Scholars Association has marked this place.
Now, they will set the conquest of this plane as their target.
A wizard who suddenly appeared here, and also a bloodline wizard, was naturally labeled by the Tree King with the tag of the Black Lizard Scholars Association.
The Guardian Sea does not conquer planes, but it does not mean that other wizard organizations are not interested in resource-rich planes.
As a realm-level wizard organization specializing in bloodlines, the Black Lizard Scholars Association was fanatical about conquering planes.
Himself, who had added the Ouroboros Ring in the true body simulation, was very clear how the bloodline wizards would be as a group. Even saying they were pure combat wizards wouldn’t be a problem.
“Dragonfly Stone?”
Hearing Milton’s words, Alan was somewhat confused.
“What you’re talking about should be the Dragonfly Stone, this type of ore is abundant in the Southern Creek Forest, but not in Alan Forest.’
Alan’s voice contained a hint of apology.
He originally wanted to help Milton, but at the moment, it seemed that he couldn’t.
However, the next moment, a leaf flew out from his tree crown and flew in front of Milton.
“You can take this with you, go to the Southern Creek Forest and find Southern Creek, he will help you.”
Milton extended his hand to hold the leaf.
Since it was a misunderstanding, he reluctantly accepted the good intentions of the Tree King in front of him.
After all, if they continued to attack each other, it would be of no benefit to
either party.
