Chapter 76 Him Again?

  (Everyone, help vote for me, okay?)

  The Fountain of Life, in the Tree People's tribe, it also has an ancient name that has been passed down for generations:

  Eternal Youth Spring

  This spring water is said to be the foundation of the Tree People's generation after generation. The ancient legend of the Tree People, a long, long time ago, when there were no tree people in this world, a large tree grew beside this spring water, and the roots of that big tree absorbed the water from this magical spring... then... that big tree came to life and became the first tree person in the world, the ancestor of all Tree People.

  Then, the only ancestor of the tree people in this world felt lonely and had no companions. So the heavenly gods took pity on it and gave it a "natural horn", blowing the horn could wake up other trees.

  Then there was the Tree People tribe.

  And this spring of eternal youth, its greatest effect is to prolong the life of the Tree People. It must be known that the awakening of the Tree People is a long process. Each Tree Person was awakened by the horn, at first they were just "companions" without self-awareness, just a pile of walking and moving wooden heads, to form self-awareness, it takes a long time... not just a few years or decades! But at least hundreds of years, or even more!

  The problem is that the lifespan of most trees is only about a hundred years. And it takes decades for small saplings to grow into big trees, and then awaken as "companions", at which point their lifespan is only a few decades left.

  It can take at least a hundred years to go from the "companion" class to becoming a real "tree person". Most trees don't have that kind of lifespan, and before they can form their own consciousness, aren't they all old and dead?

  So, this Spring of Eternal Youth is especially important for the Tree People! All the Tree People, as long as they come to the spring and absorb a little bit of its water with their roots, can live forever and live for one or two thousand years without any problem.

  Upon hearing this, Du Wei couldn't help but raise another question: "If taking a sip of the spring water can make you live for a very long time... then how could there have only been three to five true Tree People left before the appearance of the Evil Eye Sovereign? In theory, all 'companion' classes should be able to take in the spring water and possess a long life, waiting for the slow formation of self-awareness."

  Wu De let out a long sigh, the last Tree Person in this world spoke in a low and helpless tone: "Because... spring water... is... very... scarce..."

  After some explanation, Du Wei understood.

  This spring water is really very... small.

  Or rather, compared to the tree people's massive body, this spring is far from enough. The amount of water gushing out is far from enough for the tree people's massive body to enjoy, it's pitifully small.

  According to Wood's description, the spring was only about the size of a tree trunk, and no one knew where the water came from. This spring would sometimes dry up, and once it did, it wouldn't flow again for several years before slowly flowing out again.

  Sometimes there is, sometimes it dries up. Such an unstable state... In addition, often a single tree person's extraction may consume a large amount of spring water... This state has had a great impact on the inheritance of the tree people's generations. The reproduction and population of this race have always been maintained at a very small number.

  In Wood's depiction, Duvie unexpectedly discovered a point... whether it was being overly kind or having a simple mind. In any case, before the appearance of the evil-eyed tyrant, the valley was still under the control of the Tree People, who never thought to fight alone for this spring water.

  They naively believed that this was a gift from heaven and the gods, so they were all willing to share this spring water with other demons in the forest.

  This makes the originally scarce spring water even scarcer!

  Unfortunately, the anti-aging effect of this Fountain of Youth seems to only work on Tree People. Other magical creatures that drink from this spring will not see any significant effects on their lifespan. However... there is another mysterious aspect to it.

  Firstly: No matter how severe the injury is, even if it's on the verge of death, as long as you drink a mouthful of this spring water, you can immediately come back to life!

  This alone was enough to make Du Wei's eyes shine.

  Secondly, this spring water seems to have an "activating magic" effect on the magical beasts! Some of the magical beasts that drank the spring water will undergo some changes, simply put, they will "evolve"!

  The concept was somewhat vague, and Du Wei asked Old Wood a few more questions. Old Wood's slow words also failed to make it clear.

  However, it mentioned an example that Du Wei was very interested in.

  Old Wood was young (God knows what "young" means in terms of age), the gentle and docile Tree Person lived in harmony with the surrounding magical beasts. He had a friend, an adult Ice Snow Magic Wolf. After drinking some spring water, the wolf suddenly underwent an evolution! A mid-to-lower ranked Ice Snow Magic Wolf actually evolved into a high-ranking "Storm Wolf King"!

  According to the rough classification of known demon species by the Magician's Guild, the Storm Wolf King is the final advanced state of this class of demons! The Storm Wolf King is a true high-level demon that not only possesses all the abilities of ordinary ice and snow magic wolves but is also stronger, smarter, and wiser... At the same time, it has a special ability: summoning!

  A Tempest Wolf King's summoning technique can cover a region of varying size depending on the strength of its magic, and then gather all... note, all, regardless of type or level, magical beasts within that region with a lower level than the Wolf King to become its subordinates and listen to its command! In other words, this is an "Ultimate Summoning Technique"! When a matured Wolf King summons, all magical beasts within the range covered by its magic, no matter whether they are jackals, wolves, tigers or leopards, as long as they have a lower level than the Wolf King, will become its subordinates!!

  "It's almost like having a legion of demons..." Du Wei sighed.

  However, this example also indirectly illustrates... the magical aspect of this eternal youth spring water!!

  This made Du Wei's eyes shine even brighter!!

  But there's something even more surprising!

  This eye spring water even has cases of having magical effects on humans!

  Old Wood said something astonishing. At the same time, he also explained why this tree person could speak human language, and it was even the common language of the Roland Empire!!

  Wood could speak human language... This was not innate. Du Wei did not ask if the Tree People had their own language, but at least one tree could not be born speaking human language.

  Even for humans, learning a language is something that should be taught from infancy!

  Old Wood's human language is one that humans teach it.

  A long time ago... Old Wood's age was completely beyond Du Wei's guess, anyway it said a long time ago, should be at least hundreds of years ago.

  There was once a powerful human warrior who came here and stayed in this forest for quite some time. He also became friends with the kind, gentle Treeman. Old Wood's human language was taught by that human. As a return of friendship, Old Wood took that human to the Spring of Eternal Youth! Letting that human taste the magical spring water!!

  "What's next?" Du Wei's heart moved: "That human, is he your friend? Who is he, do you know his name?"

  Du Wei believed that humans who could come to the depths of the Ice Forest were absolutely strong in a million! Without enough strength, it was absolutely impossible to get here!

  “...Let me think for a moment...” Old Wood pondered for a long time, then replied with some regret: “The time... was too long... I... have already... forgotten... his... name... However... I... know... he... was... an emperor of humanity. Hmm... That's right... it was 'emperor'. This... word... I... remember...”

  Wood did not forget this nickname and was delighted. Du's inner shock, however, cannot be described in words!

  Human Emperor! A long, long time ago! A powerful being who could walk into the depths of the Ice Sealed Forest!!

  In the history of Roland continent for thousands of years, there is only one person who can be considered as the strongest and also holds the identity of an emperor.

  Ala lang ro lan!!!!

  Du Wei couldn't help but sigh.

  Why... it seems like every bizarre and legendary thing I've encountered has a connection with that unparalleled powerhouse!!

  After thinking about it, Du Wei felt a slight twinge of guilt in his heart as he realized that he had basically gotten all the information he could out of them.

  The Tree People were indeed kind and gentle, Old Wood was simple-minded, with a temperament that could also be considered gentle. He almost didn't need to use Du Wei's words, he just told Du Wei everything he wanted to know... Although on the one hand, Du Wei sighed at how overly simple these Tree People were, the existence of the Fountain of Youth would absolutely arouse the envy of all who knew about it! But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of admiration for Old Wood's simplicity.

  "Respected Wood... Tree-person friend." Du Wei slightly bowed his head, then smiled and said: "I apologize for harming your companions, of course, we are also willing to make compensation. How about this, my companion and I still have some decent skills. I deeply sympathize with the suffering of the Tree-person tribe, I am willing to help you deal with that evil Eye Tyrant in the canyon, as a way to make up for the conflict earlier. What do you think of my proposal?"

  This time it's Old Wu's turn to be uneasy.

  This tree person said something that worried Du Wei...
