Phoebe was also exhausted. She had leaned in Thomas’ arms and drifted off, sleeping soundly…
Suddenly, Vince suddenly shouted, “The sandstorm has died down a little!”
Thomas and Pisces immediately pulled themselves together and carefully looked over.
The sandstorm was less intense as Vince said. They were at the border, but they almost could not feel the threat of the sandstorm.
Vince smiled and said, “We’re really lucky. The sandstorm died down only after we waited for about forty minutes. It seems like this is fated. Perhaps the Tree of Life is waiting for us too!”
They did not waste time talking any further. Thomas carried Phoebe, and the group ran in the Tree of Life’s direction.
It looked near, but it was actually very far. The Tree of Life appeared close to them, but when they started rimning, they realized it was a long distance away. Thomas and the gang ran for twenty minutes before they caught up to the sandstorm from the border. As soon as they stepped into the sandstorm, it completely disappeared.
The scenery inside the sandstorm was completely different from that outside. There was a green field with blooming flowers, and it looked vibrant. There was a tree in the middle of the green field.
“Is this… The Tree of Life?” Pisces stared at the tree and could not help but feel doubtful.
In his imagination, the Tree of Life was supposed to be a giant leafy tree, but this tree just looked about four meters tall. It did not have many branches, and its leaves were sparse. It looked like a noxious tree that grew by the road. It did not look like the Tree of Life at all!
Right then, Vince walked up to the tree. He knelt down sincerely and lowered his head in a serious manner while favonovel.com spoke the native language. It seemed like favonovel.com was praying for blessings.
Thomas put Phoebe down, and they looked at the tree together.
Phoebe said, “People always say we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. We can’t just judge the tree based on its appearance. Although this Tree of Life looks ugly, it emits a lot of charm. I feel warm just from standing here. It’s like I’ve come to heaven from hell.”
Pisces shrugged. “Really? Whatever you say. Anyway, this is the Tree of Life, right? Okay, we have to take the wood element of the Five Elements that we need from it.”
As Pisces said, favonovel.com walked to the tree, reached out to hold a very thin branch, and exerted some strength to break it. He was thinking that the thin branch could be easily broken.
Unexpectedly…
Despite putting in all of his strength, Pisces still could not break the branch. It was as hard as steel. Perhaps it was even harder than steel!
“How could this be?” Pisces was surprised.
He had never encountered such a strange thing before. He took out the dagger from his pocket and attempted to cut the branch. However, after favonovel.com made a few sharp slashes, favonovel.com awkwardly realized that the branch was not cut. Instead, his dagger was chipped.
The dagger was an imported dagger made for military use. Its hardness and sharpness were quite high, yet it could not cut a branch?
What was the meaning of this?
Strange things truly existed everywhere. The magical situation shocked everyone.
Pisces even fearfully said, “I believe that it’s the Tree of Life now.”
It was a tree that they should respect.
Thomas stared at the Tree of Life seriously. Since they had already traveled there, they could not leave without anything just because they could not cut it.
What should favonovel.com do to obtain the wood element?
