Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 948: Tree of Life
As the 'Eye of Peering into Secrets' opened, a virtual window suddenly appeared on the surface of the branch that contained energy.

Zhou Xu looked carefully, and the relevant information soon came into his sight.

Name: Branches of the Tree of Life
Introduction: A special plant that contains rich life energy. It was later cultivated by the elves, who used its roots to make magic wands and its branches to make bows and arrows.

Looking at this concise and clear introduction, Zhou Xu reacted instantly.

"Shit! Why does it look so familiar? This branch gives me exactly the same feeling as the special arrows shot by the wood elves when I first encountered them. Could it be that it is made of this branch?"

The arrows used by the wood elves are very special. After the two sides successfully formed an alliance, Locke asked them to take the arrows back, saying that they were ancestral heirlooms and the raw materials for making them are no longer available, so one less arrow would be used.

So Zhou Xu actually had some impression of this.

At this moment, the expression on his face was already filled with excitement that was hard to conceal.

Not to mention the arrows, Zhou Xu had discussed the staff with Locke.

A good staff can effectively utilize the power of mantras in their bodies, thereby reducing meaningless losses.

This is similar to the silver-steel swords of the elven knights. There is no doubt about how valuable they are.

At that time, Zhou Xu also wanted to try to get one for himself from Locke.

As a result, Locke told him directly that among the magic wands passed down among the wood elves, the only one left was the one in his hand.

By the time it was passed down to his generation, this ancestral staff had almost become a symbol of the patriarch of their wood elf clan.

Zhou Xu had always wanted to borrow it to try it out.

But they had already said it was the 'symbol of the chieftain', and at the time they and the wood elves were only allies, so it was naturally inconvenient to bring this up.

Later, Locke joined, but after joining, he rushed to the battlefield in the southern border in a hurry.

As a result, Zhou Xu has not had the chance to test his compatibility with the Wood Elf's staff until now.

That’s right, just like there is a degree of compatibility between the mantra and its user, the same is true for the staff.

You can simply understand that different staffs are suitable for casting different mantra spells.

The Lizardmen also have magic staffs. In comparison, their skills in making magic staffs have not fallen behind.

Even in his 'Dragon Lord' class project, which is an extension of the 'Green Lizard Priest' and 'Lizardman High Priest' career projects, there is an equipment project for 'Beast Bone Staff', as well as a career project for 'Staff Craftsman'.

Since these professions and technologies already existed among the Lizardmen, all the related professional items were unlocked at level one by default. This really saved Zhou Xu a lot of consumption of mantra power.

It’s just that the materials for making the staff are a bit difficult to get.

Lizardmen use the bones of extraordinary creatures to make their staffs, and not every bone is useful. This shows the value of animal bone staffs.

Zhou Xu had tried the beast bone staff in Boleven's hand before, but later found that the lizardman's beast bone staff was not compatible with his own mantra spell, which made him a little disappointed.

And now, he finally found a new opportunity.

[This branch of the Life Spirit Tree is obviously fresh and was just broken off not long ago. There must be a Life Spirit Tree nearby! ]

When Zhou Xu thought of this, his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously. Whether the wood elf's staff could match him or not was actually secondary to Zhou Xu.

More importantly, if they can find the Tree of Life now, they will have the opportunity to equip all members of the Wood Elf Mage Corps with staffs. At that time, their comprehensive combat capability will definitely be raised to a higher level!
"Xuan Yu, where did you get this branch from? From that mountain?"

Zhou Xu pointed at the Qingshui Mountain right in front of him and asked Xuan Yu this question almost impatiently.

Xuan Yu's intelligence is comparable to that of humans, so there is no problem of not understanding. Xuan Yu, who was combing his feathers at the side, nodded directly at Zhou Xu.

After receiving a positive answer, Zhou Xu became obviously excited, and immediately issued an order without thinking.

"Pass on my order and have the ship dock at the port of Qingshui Mountain!"

He obviously couldn't wait any longer and was eager to go to the mountain to look for traces of the Tree of Life.

As for the other people on this ship...

"Hilke will take my personal guard with me. As for the others, after we get off the ship, we will continue to head to Black Moon City as planned. After we drop them off, we can come to Qingshui Mountain to pick us up."

As Zhou Xu spoke, he turned his gaze to Huo Qubing and Li Bowen.

"Qubing, Bowen, I have already given instructions in advance to Black Moon City. When you get there, Zhang Xiaoshan, the head of the administrative department of Black Moon City, will make arrangements for you. The work will be basically the same as in Xianyang City. I have something to deal with next, which will take about a month, so you two just need to work as usual."

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Faced with this sudden situation, Huo Qubing and Li Bowen remained calm and did not feel surprised at all.

It's not the first time that their Majesty has been so decisive in doing things, and the two of them have long been accustomed to it.

Zhou Xu gave all the instructions in a few words. During this time, the ship slowly approached the shore.

Due to the opening of the waterway, although the construction work within their Great Zhou has not yet been extended to the islands and mountains within the Qingshui Lake, the relevant port facilities have been built one after another, and a small post station has also been established.

This is mainly just in case.

If their Great Zhou ship encounters any situation during the voyage and needs to dock urgently, or if something happens on the lake and rescue is needed, these post stations will be able to launch rescue in time after receiving the news, so that the crew members who have suffered a shipwreck will not be left to fend for themselves on the lake.

Soon, the large ship docked at the Qingshuishan Port. After noticing the situation here, the staff of the port station hurried out to greet it.

The planks were lowered, and Silk, who had been prepared, quickly got off the ship with the members of his personal guard, following Zhou Xu. During this time, Xuan Yu and Qiansui followed immediately without Zhou Xu saying much.

The staff at the post station were not stupid either. When they saw the scene, they realized who was coming and quickly called everyone in the post station to come out to greet them.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Everyone is free of charge."

Zhou Xu waved his hand and directly stated his purpose.

"I want to go into the mountains. Is there a way up here?"

"..."
