I Transmigrated Into A Fantasy World To Farm And Build Houses!-Chapter 454: The Tree of Life

This forest was at the outermost edge of the Elf territory. Where the Elves lived, the Elf Forest, was in the center of the territory.

When the Golden Kingdom fought with the Elf race back then, they never reached the Elf Forest. Yet Thomas and everyone now could openly enter the central land of the Elf race; their moods were inevitably complex.

Although the territory of the Elf race had lost quite a bit during the war with the Golden Kingdom, it was still vast. It took the group over ten days to walk to the Elf Forest.

Fortunately, having found Eric this time, the Snow Wolves were not in a hurry. Henry would send a message after returning; it wouldn’t be too late to return after visiting the Elf Forest as guests.

On the way, they tried quite a few types of fruits and vegetables unique to the Elf race. Elves ate plainly, but they had all the necessary spices, so Eric varied the dishes enough.

The other Elves were reserved at first, only tasting a little occasionally, but eventually, they began to eat meals together with Eric and the others.

Fanta sighed secretly. Back then, being taken prisoner by the people of the Hadu tribe was an experience others didn’t know about. Actually, even if he told other Elves, they wouldn’t believe it because although the Snow Wolves didn’t like them, they delivered meals on time every day, and the food wasn’t abusive at all.

Everyone ate until their faces were rosy; it really didn’t look like they were suffering...

And the cooking skills of the Hadu tribe’s chief were even better than the cafeteria’s; how could he refuse!

The Elf race didn’t lack delicious food, it was just that Elves worshipped the natural flavor of food, so most dishes were plain. The Snow Wolves’ rice, how should one put it... the flavor was rich and stimulated the taste buds more...

Just like that, Eric treated the guests all the way with iron pot stew, braised pork, tied pork belly, braised ribs, and soy sauce stewed bones, occasionally cooking a pot of lighter corn bone soup. Eating happily the whole journey, everyone finally reached the boundary of the Elf Forest.

The territory of the Elf race was all lush green grass and water, with dense trees, even larger than the primeval forests Eric had seen in his past life; plants grew luxuriantly.

Elves were born with the ability to be close to nature, and the two sides supported each other. Wherever there were more Elves, the plants grew better.

Various spiritual fruits and spiritual plants sprouted endlessly. Eric finally knew why Elves all had slender bodies and tall figures. With so many delicious fruits, who could resist eating them? What favored living conditions.

"The Elf race all cultivate nature magic. When we meditate, the surrounding plants also benefit, so the territory of the Elf race is the place with the most plant varieties," Evan explained to him with a gentle smile.

"No wonder. In the Hadu tribe, only I cultivate nature magic, and the crops in the fields grow better than in other places. The Elf race has so many Elves." Eric nodded in agreement.

He turned to look at Max walking side by side: "It’s a pity my Broad-mouthed flowers haven’t finished planting yet. When we get back, we must seize the time to plant them all."

Hearing him still concerned about farming, Max couldn’t help but chuckle, tightening his grip on their joined hands.

Michael and Grass had just returned from outside and met Arthur snatching Eric away, so they didn’t know about this yet, looking suspiciously at Kevin.

"It’s a type of flower that can bite people, but mainly eats insects. Eric collected a lot of seeds to plant on the field ridges. Just a few flowers can eat all the bugs in a mu of fields; it’s very useful. Balu and Kiet both intend to ask for some seeds to take back to the Red Grass tribe," Kevin said proudly.

Mirinda, who had been silently walking in front, looked at Eric with a miraculous gaze at this moment, sighing:

"I have never heard that nature magic has such a use. Truly a wonderful idea; no wonder Evan always mentioned you to us. His words were indeed not wrong."

Eric smiled embarrassedly: "It’s nothing; I have to thank Evan. He taught me a lot of useful magic, which helped our farming a lot."

While the group was chatting, the scene of the dense forest before their eyes suddenly changed. The surrounding trees suddenly decreased, becoming sparser and sparser.

A brown wall appeared before their eyes. It was unknown how high it was, as the end could not be seen.

Eric looked carefully and discovered it wasn’t a city wall at all; the surface had the rough texture of tree bark. This was actually a giant tree!

His mouth gaped open in astonishment wide enough to swallow a chicken egg: "Oh my god..."

"I’ve wanted to invite you to the Elf race as a guest for a long time. This is the Elf Forest, and this tree is the Tree of Life, also the last Treant in the world." Evan raised his hand, introducing it to Eric.

Following the direction of his hand, Eric realized only then that on the rough bark, there were gigantic facial features that were not very clear. Because it was too huge, he had to crane his neck until it almost broke to see the position of the eyes.

This was too magical. Such a magical creature actually existed; whether in width or height, the end couldn’t be seen. Saying this was a tree, Eric truly dared not believe it.

Beastmen like Kevin and Michael had definitely never seen this scene. The big trees they had seen before were truly just tiny grandchildren in front of this Treant - and it was alive!

They had heard of the existence of Treants, but Treants were creatures from tens of thousands of years ago. Now they only existed in legends; no one had ever seen one. They only knew Treants and the Elf race were extremely close.

They didn’t expect to meet a Treant here.

Thomas had never felt so small as he did at this moment; the prejudice in his heart against Elves suddenly changed quite a bit.

"A Treant, this big? Then how does it move? One step would surely cause an earthquake, wouldn’t it be just like that super divine beast, the Heaven Swallowing Python?" Eric asked in surprise.

Mirinda heard his words and smiled in reply:

"This Treant has been sleeping for tens of thousands of years. Moreover, even if the Treant wakes up, he can only appear in spiritual form. His roots have likely spread across the entire continent."

This fact surprised Eric even more. The root systems of trees were developed; if this giant tree in front of him could grow so huge above ground, the root system below would only be more developed. Maybe, as Mirinda said, it really had spread across the continent.

"Is the Elf Forest behind it? How do we get over there?" Eric suddenly thought of this problem and turned to look at Evan.

Evan smiled and pointed upwards: "I said you would like this place."

He stepped forward, raised his hand, and cast a ray of magic through the air.

Numerous tree branches slowly lowered down in front of everyone.

While the Snow Wolves were staring at each other blankly, the Elves lightly jumped up. Each person chose a branch to stand on, and immediately those branches carried the Elves upwards and disappeared.

Eric exclaimed: "You guys even have elevators!"

Not knowing what the "elevator" Eric mentioned was, Evan guessed he was describing the branches in front of them:

"Although the Tree of Life is sleeping, it still has sentience. Elves entering and exiting the Elf Forest all need to pass through him."

So this was also the strongest defensive line of the Elf Forest.

"Then will he let us in?" Eric worried inside.

They were Snow Wolves; if the Treant didn’t like them, wouldn’t they be unable to enter?

Evan smiled to comfort him: "No need to worry, you are guests invited by me."

Saying that, he jumped onto a branch, signaling for Eric and everyone not to worry. Mirinda also jumped up.

Eric turned to look at Max. Seeing the encouraging look in Max’s eyes, the two climbed onto a branch together. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Seeing this, the other Snow Wolves didn’t hesitate anymore and carefully jumped onto the branches one after another.
