Chapter 356: Old Tree Seeds

Bathran was still a ghost, waiting at the same place that Lu Li had left him. The treant looked sad; it's only desire was to be granted relief.

Upon seeing Lu Li, his eyes lit up with antic.i.p.ation.

"Adventurer, did you get the Wildfire?"

"Bathran, I almost died because of you," Lu Li said impolitely. "Did you deliberately conceal the fact that the Wildfire would harm me so I couldn't escape the camp?"

He had to stand firm on his values, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to ensure he got a good reward.

"It just hurts a little at the start; its fine after you get used to it," Bathran said embarra.s.sedly. "But seeing as you have returned unharmed, I must have chosen the right person."

"..." Lu Li wanted to explode. The damage had caused him to be revealed in front of the whole camp and resulted in three Wolf Riders chasing him.

"My body is to the north, adventurer. Help me find peace so that those creatures can no longer abuse my hair, and even better, so I can finally regenerate," Bathran said, his face cheerfully smiling.

"What, you can revive yourself?" Lu Li was surprised.

"It's not a revival; it's a regeneration, which is not the same," Bathran explained as he waved his arm. "I'll start life anew and I'll be young, energetic and curious about the world once again."

"But," Lu Li couldn't help but interrupt, "Will it still be you?"

"Child," the ancient Tree of Knowledge said as he smiled bitterly at him, "You know, there are rules that cannot be changed. Life and Death should not be tampered with; I couldn't ask for anything more."

Lu Li couldn't be bothered to refute his point; he knew that Aegwynn had revived her son Medivh.

However, whether Medivh could truly be considered to be alive was another question.

Led by the ghost, Lu Li quickly found the body of the Tree of Knowledge. It was a great old tree that was still half-buried in the soil even though it had fallen. But, the strange thing was that the tree was still luscious; it didn't give off any impression that it had died.

"Are you sure you want to burn it?" Lu Li asked.

"Yes, my child. The end has come for me."

Bathran looked over this tree who had existed for thousands of years. He waved his hand and a green seed flew from the tree into his hands.

"This seed is the only thing I have produced in thousands of years. I don't even know what to do with it." Bathran handed it to Lu Li and continued, "I will give this to you and you can find a place where there is lots of moonlight to plant it. I don't know what it'll produce, as each seed holds its own secret."

Wasn't this the responsibility of the parents?

Lu Li took the seeds and carefully put it into his bag.

No one else knew what this was, but he had a pretty good idea.

As someone who had experienced Rebirth, Lu Li would never forget the myth of Peerless City.

As hundreds of thousands of Glory Capital troops raided the Peerless City base, everyone though that they were finished. However, a battle horn sounded and a great mult.i.tude of treants rose on the battlefield. They fought fearlessly and bought enough time for Peerless City's reinforcements to arrive.
