“Damn it, how big is this icy wasteland? How is he supposed to find that thing?”

These masked rodents don’t even reveal their names!

“What about the divine relic we’re looking for?”

The Deceiver chuckled. “As long as you help us find that thing, we can certainly help you locate the divine relic.”

Duoru cursed inwardly at this cunning fox.

“Report! A large tree has been found ahead!”

Upon hearing this, Duoru, who had been fuming, suddenly shouted in anger, “Are you kidding me? How can there be trees on the ice? Has the cold wind frozen your brain?”

The scout looked aggrieved and said, “But I really saw a tree not far ahead.”

Duoru, in frustration, pushed him aside and took a look through the binoculars himself.

“I want to see if you’re blind or if I…”

Duoru froze. In the scope of the binoculars, a lush and towering tree stood between the icebergs and glaciers, and beneath it, a verdant grassland contrasted vividly with the pale ice.

The Deceiver’s excited voice rang out, “That’s what we need on this journey the Elf’s Tree of Life and the life-giving water it produces!”

Duoru was stunned. “Why is there a Tree of Life here?”

In this desolate place, why was there such an incredibly precious thing?

It was rumored that in ancient times, the ancestors of the elves would plant a Tree of Life on every land they settled, using it to improve the soil and the surrounding environment. The Tree of Life would also produce a precious liquid called the Water of Life, which not only increased strength and healed fatal injuries but also enhanced the elves’ breeding capabilities.

The most famous and significant effect, however, was its ability to purify bloodlines.

This liquid, as if a gift from the gods, had the power to purify the elf’s bloodline. Ancient elves continually refined their own elven bloodlines with high concentrations of blood, which allowed them to maintain combat prowess far surpassing other races.

However, perhaps the departure of the gods later caused the elves to lose their protection, and the once flourishing Trees of Life withered and died one by one.

Until this era, only one Tree of Life remained in the most central lands of the elven kingdom. But how could one tree satisfy the needs of so many elves?

Without an adequate supply of the Water of Life, the elves’ bloodlines had gradually diluted over generations, and many elven spells that relied on bloodlines could no longer be cast.

And now, there was actually a Tree of Life here. How could he not be astonished?

The Deceiver looked at the vast icy wasteland around them and spoke with a hoarse voice, “This is an ancient battlefield of divine wars. The elves who worship the Mother Goddess first occupied this land and planted the Tree of Life here.

The orcs, who worshiped the savage gods, were incited by their deities to attack this place, intending to claim it as their own.

And at that time, even humans, who were allies of the elves, participated in this battle.

In the end, the elves paid a great price to hold this place, but they couldn’t sustain the land. Therefore, under the guidance of the Mother Goddess of the elves, they destroyed the Tree of Life before leaving.”

At this point, the Deceiver chuckled ominously. “They didn’t expect this Tree of Life to be so tenacious, absorbing the essence of many deceased believers, allowing it to survive until now…”

Duoru suddenly realized. “So, even the elves don’t know that a Tree of Life still exists here?”

“Of course, if they knew, they would spare no effort to obtain it…”

Upon hearing this, Duoru’s expression changed, and a fiery determination ignited within him.

Although this Tree of Life couldn’t grant them immediate strength, they could use it as a bargaining chip to get the elves involved in the war and threaten them to destroy the three nations of Lienhardt, Thorey, and Pelan.

And the elves would definitely agree to such a deal for the sake of one of the only two remaining Trees of Life.

This was a matter of purifying their bloodlines!

Yes, this Tree of Life was the so-called “divine relic,” the “divine relic” that could help them turn the tide!

Duoru couldn’t wait to seize it now and immediately negotiate with the elves.

Suppressing his excitement, he eagerly said, “The first Marine Corps of the Third Fleet, land on the ice surface and dig up that Tree of Life. It’s the key to reversing the situation!”

“Wait.” The Deceiver stood in front of Duoru, a hint of anger in his cloudy eyes. “This belongs to us, not to you.”

Seeing that they were about to obtain such a divine object, Duoru had no intention of stopping, and he had long grown tired of the “faceless” person who always wore a mask.

“Take him to the detention room.”

“Hmph, do you think you can handle me?”

Just as the two sides were about to come to blows, a chilling scream echoed from deep within the ice, a sound that even the heavy bulkhead couldn’t block the eerie chill it contained.

Then, like the first howl of a wolf in a pack of wolves, more screams followed one after another, getting closer and closer.

“Report, there are a large number of unidentified black creatures rapidly approaching from the north side….”
