Chapter 144 - 117: Tree of Life

Chapter 144: Chapter 117: Tree of Life So the next day he began preparations for the return.


This time, the main purpose of his return is to inform his father of his ennoblement as a Baron, and secondly to hopefully garner some more support from his father.


Therefore, he also needed to bring some gifts.


Thinking of gifts, Thor thought of the Frost Heart.


That was something that could significantly enhance one’s Knight Talent; giving it to his father would surely bring him a great surprise.


However, this was something Neil Morton acquired at great cost, so he hesitated.


And amidst hesitation, a new surprise appeared.


As time moved into the late night.


The familiar sound of notifications rang out.


[Daily Intelligence has been updated]


[1: Your western side, 100 miles away, will see a group of Tilapia appear; their meat is exceptionally tasty.]


[2: In the Kingdom’s Northern Defense Line, three Dukes unexpectedly discovered a peculiar sheepskin scroll...]


[3: Three days later, where you are in the North, 700 miles away, a group of Sheep-headed Men will infiltrate a territory and be defeated by the Pioneer Lord.]


[4: The northern part of Eagle Ridge, originating from the Northern Ice Glacier, is about to experience a severe cold surge, with temperatures plummeting. ]


[5: ...]


[8: In the Eagle Territory’s western side, 100 miles away, there will be a battle of Pig Beasts in five days, and at the central point, a Tree of Life is maturing.]


[9: 500 miles away on the western side...]


Line by line, the text appeared.


Compared to the previously chaotic situation, things have undoubtedly calmed down significantly; the attacks from Beastman Tribes have noticeably decreased, with only one line remaining.


But the crucial point is not that.


It’s the eighth line in the daily intelligence.


As these words came into view, Thor’s breath couldn’t help but become heavier.


Tree of Life, actually a Tree of Life.


It’s crucial to understand that his ability to alter his destiny was due to a single Fruit of Life, and now not only has he found a Fruit of Life again, but there’s also a whole tree.


If he can obtain it, his territory can continuously produce Fruits of Life in the days to come.


Those are one of the main ingredients for the High-Level Life Potion; even consuming it directly offers a chance for one to progress from an Earth Knight Peak to a Sky Knight.


Although it’s only a probability, it still makes the value of the Fruit of Life immense.


At least at this moment, Thor’s eyes were somewhat dazed.


The entire night, he was so excited he couldn’t sleep.


Until the next morning arrived.


He quickly gathered the members of the Knight Order.


He set off hastily with Steve and over twenty Official Knights.


As for the original two-day preparation for the return, it was naturally postponed.


A distance of one hundred miles is not very far.


On the third evening, Thor and his companions reached the destination.


But upon their arrival, two groups of Pig Beasts were already waiting around the Tree of Life.


"Two Tier Two Peaks, twenty-seven Tier Ones!"


Thor’s expression carried a trace of solemnity.


With almost a single glance, he could see the strength of these Pig Beasts.


There were a total of twenty-nine, even more than the knights he had brought.


More importantly, there were also two Tier Two Peak Pig Beasts.


Compared to the average Beastman and ordinary Demon Beast, their strength might be slightly weaker, but not by much.


Two Tier Two Peaks along with twenty-seven Tier Ones aren’t easy to deal with.


Of course, not completely impossible.


"Steve, when we make our move, I’ll take care of those two Tier Two Peak Pig Beasts, you lead the Knight Order to quickly handle the rest."


"Remember to lure the Pig Beasts away, and don’t harm that tree."


Thor instructed quickly.


He even gestured toward the Tree of Life.


"Yes!"


Steve nodded.


Although curious, he did not ask questions.


Thor, after making arrangements, started waiting for the right moment.


Time gradually passed.


Soon, two days went by.


In the distance.


Two groups of Pig Beasts fiercely glared at each other.


At the very center.


A faint fragrance began to fill the air.


As the fragrance spread, the Pig Beasts became increasingly agitated, even starting to dig at the ground.


Seeing this scene, Thor naturally knew the moment had arrived.


"Move!"


He shouted softly.


The next moment, his figure charged forward.


Behind him was Steve leading the Knight Order.


The sudden appearance of humans caught the two groups of Pig Beasts momentarily off guard.


But only temporarily.


Soon, the agitated Pig Beasts immediately became enraged.


It was the same with both sides.


"Snort, snort!"


A loud sound rose, and the next moment, all the Pig Beasts directly charged at Thor and his party.


Both sides of Pig Beasts did the same.


Clearly, they first aimed to deal with these damned humans.


Seeing them rushing over, Thor’s expression couldn’t help but reveal a trace of delight.


He was indeed worried these Pig Beasts might just keep guarding.


He dared not fight near the Tree of Life; if it got damaged, he would suffer a huge loss.


Now, this was undoubtedly the best result.


Thor rode Nia, holding the Knight’s Long Lance, and charged towards the leading two Pig Beast leaders.


The Wind Element gathered.


The Power of Ice intertwined.


"Pfft!"


One of the Tier Two Peak Pig Beast leaders, whose eyes were filled with fury and madness, was still ongoing. Then its eyes suddenly turned to amazement as its body unexpectedly flew backwards.


"Boom!"


A massive impact struck the Tier Two Peak Pig Beast, only slightly piercing its tough skin.


The skin of the Pig Beast was extremely tough.


Swords found it difficult to penetrate.


Of course, difficult, but not impossible.


The powerful force still sent its body flying.


Crashing towards the distance.


In the distant forest, trees collapsed, and the Pig Beast’s body struggled, but ultimately it failed to rise.


Thor paid no heed to this scene; his figure already began attacking the other Tier Two Peak Pig Beast.


To prevent these Pig Beasts from destroying the Tree of Life, he needed to act swiftly.


The other Pig Beast was shocked at seeing its opponent flying away like that.


But before its simple mind could process any thoughts.


Its body also went stiff instantly.


Then, just like before, its figure flew away.


Having dealt with the two Tier Two Peak Pig Beasts, Thor quickly joined in clearing the remaining Pig Beasts.


Within moments, twenty-seven Pig Beasts were completely resolved.


Not a single one managed to escape.


Thor instructed his men to clean up the Pig Beasts and then hurriedly headed to the center.


A stronger fragrance filled the air.


The Fruit of Life, no, really the Tree of Life was emitting a faint green glow.


Even a deep breath was enough to make one feel the rhythm of Life Source Power.


Unlike ordinary fruit trees in memory.


Tree of Life.


About half a meter tall with golden leaves.


Amidst these golden leaves, a single crystalline fruit like a sour fruit hung.


As the fragrance spread.


The golden leaves gradually withered and fell.


After a short while, only one lonely fruit remained.


The fragrance gradually receded completely.


Until it vanished entirely.


As if feeling something.


Thor instinctively reached out.


The fruit subsequently fell, landing in his hand.


Holding the Fruit of Life, there was no special sensation, resembling the sour fruits he saw at the fruit stall.


Instinctively smelling it, it had no discernible scent either.


The fragrance seemed to have vanished entirely.
