1444 Chapter 1294: People on the Island 2
''You are right and how is your arm?" Silveria asked with a look of concern. In that clash, Alex was injured almost breaking an arm. Although he possessed a powerful regenerative ability, it was still painful and it took a little bit of time to heal broken bones.
''Don't worry, I have healed.'' Alex caressed Silveria's hair softly, transmitting his thoughts, his affection, showing how much he cared about this silver-haired beauty who unknowingly had found a place inside his heart. She sneaked in and from now on wouldn't leave, he was grateful for this.
At first, he recalled she didn't go easy on him, so much he even considered throwing her but all these memories forged today's relationship. Since the beginning of his otherworldly adventure, she was present and accompanied him, so it was no surprise they ended up together.
''What are you thinking about?" Silveria couldn't help but ask this as Alex seemed lost in thoughts.
''Nothing serious.'' Alex shook his head and got ready to leave.
''I'll go up and take a look, I can't just stay here forever.''
Silveria nodded before vanishing. Alex who had recovered used the Sin of Greed.
Immediately four flowing lights immediately started rotating. As if they became a drill, they directly pierced the rocks above him. Alex put his hands together above his head and charged upwards!
Chi~ Chi~
Going straight up ahead!
Naturally, Alex purposefully took a different path from before when he dug down. He didn't want to get attacked by the willow tree king right when he popped his head out of the ground after all. He would have been pretty dumb if he were to commit such a mistake.
"AH!"
Suddenly, a voice of pain carried from the surface of the ground. Dirt was a good medium for sound to travel through and Alex had amazing hearing.
"This is someone's voice?" Alex's eyes flashed with shock.
"There are people on this misty island?" He thought but upon further thinking, it wouldn't be weird if there were other people on the island beside him. It was not like he owned the place.
〖Let's go see who is this person.〗
''Hmm!" Alex nodded.
Whoosh!
Alex didn't dare to move too quickly. The closer he got to the surface, the more he slowed down. At the same time, his restrained Divine Sense still worked and has already spread out to an 80-meter radius. After that, he silently popped his head out, which happened to be in the middle of a bush.
"Eh?" Alex immediately saw a muscular around two meters, who was completely covered in black, in the distance.
As of now, the muscular man's face was pale and some blood could be seen at the sides of his mouth. However, his eyes were full of light.
"Cough!!"
The man coughed out two mouthfuls of fresh blood as he stared at the largest willow tree in the distance. When Alex saw this, he couldn't help but think to himself.
"Looks like this man has experienced the special part of this willow tree and got beat up"
15:10
"It's me, leader!" The muscular man took a communication stone and said full of excitement to the one on the other side.
"Gregory, what is it?" The one at the end of the line, a man asked.
"We've struck gold, I have found willow trees on the misty island. The Lord will be happy. I have found a dozen of them.''
''What? Quickly elaborate.'' The other party urged the man to continue and give more explanation which he happily did.
''This misty island is extremely peculiar. There aren't any monsters living on it, but there are spirits of mana. Just before, I'd already discovered three plants that seemed to resemble Magic trees. Those plants almost heavily injured me. I've already discovered 12 of them, and I believe that there are over 12 spirits of mana on this entire misty island. There'll be more"
''I believe once we move all of these spirits of mana away, we'll be rich, getting a good resource for our force."
Just one spirit of mana is worth a lot.
Don't even talk about its price, talking about its price is insulting the spirit of mana.
This treasure.
No power is willing to sell it because it can be used to strengthen yourself or your force.
"Spirits of mana in plants like willow trees are special. The Thousand-year willow heart that everyone knew about back then, was the core of a willow tree's spirit of mana." The man followed. His explanation didn't end there.
"According to what I know, that willow tree only had a diameter of one meter. Here, there are nine willow trees, with the thinnest one having a diameter of one meter. The biggest one has a diameter of over three meters."
Even regular willow trees with large diameters exist.
But once a willow tree develops a spirit of mana, they are different from regular ones. These spirits of mana have "spirits", so they are capable of simple attacks and defense. The more powerful the spirit of nature is, the more it is worth.
"If I was just a bit slower just now, I would've died to the biggest willow tree's spirit of mana. Thankfully I had my Chaos armor.'' The muscular man explained face still filled with fear. However, he didn't stop his explanation and continued.
"That thousand-year willow heart back then has many benefits after using it. The first is that I can greatly improve the life force of one's cells, increasing the body's regeneration speed by many times. Second Body fitness level will also leap up and thirdly not last your mana pool will be increased upon using them.''
"And that's just a thousand-year willow heart. I estimate... that the willow tree in front of me that has a diameter of over three meters has a 'Ten thousand year willow heart.''
''Just this one willow tree king is a priceless treasure.'' The muscular man was extremely excited.
"However, I am not this willow tree king's opponent, it is why I thought I have to report this and seek assistance."
Of course, to obtain the willow heart, you have to cut down the willow tree!
''I understand, I shall send a force to help you harvest them.'' The man on the other side said as last, he could hardly hide his excitement. After declaring this the man hung up while the muscular man couldn't hide his joy, grinning as he imagined his bright future because of this discovery.
Alex who heard everything smiled, his smile was extremely evil, so evil that the muscular man shivered even without detecting Alex's position.
The shameless man is about to strike again and of course, someone is going to suffer.
Unbeknownst to the muscular man, his happiness would soon turn into despair.
