The Witcher: Elemental Lords

There must be something wrong here!

Dolly walked while observing the surrounding pagoda trees.

There were many tall pagoda trees in Silent Valley. The closer they got to the center, the taller the trees became. Some pagoda tree canopies blocked out the sky, one tree alone obscuring the entire sky. However, the larger the tree trunks, the less likely they were to have a heartwood; upon closer inspection, they were all hollow.

Dolly hadn't walked far before he was deeply shocked by the surrounding pagoda trees. There were more than just thousand-year-old pagoda trees here; there were even several thousand-year-old ones.

Pagoda trees that took three, four, or even five people to encircle were common.

Just then, among the many pagoda trees, he saw a small pagoda tree. This small tree appeared to be only a little over a hundred years old, requiring only two people to encircle it, but it occupied a small area of the mountainside on its own. The surrounding pagoda trees were quite far away, and the other trees around it were completely suppressed.

Dolly's eyes lit up, and he cautiously walked forward, preparing to get closer and observe.

Just then, he felt the surroundings becoming increasingly cold and gloomy. Sensing something was wrong, he immediately released his mental field to sense the surroundings.

As soon as his mental power was released, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort. He almost groaned out loud; it was too comfortable.

His mental power quickly extended forward, soon reaching the front of the pagoda tree.

At that moment, he felt a force fiercely stab over, piercing a small hole in his mental power.

Excruciating pain.

Dolly frowned and retracted his mental power. He looked at the pagoda tree with his mental tentacles and saw a shadow above the tree, a snake-like mist hovering in the air, silently threatening him.

A ghost.

Ghosts are also skilled in mental power. In the wizard system, many people use ghosts as a means, and there are countless related records.

The biggest advantage of ghosts is that they are not afraid of any physical attacks. They are skilled in various mental wizardries, mental shocks, mental piercings, soul devouring, body snatching, and creating illusions, etc.

They are effective against warriors and other professions with weak mental power, but they are less effective against wizards, who are themselves skilled in mental power.

The snake ghost sensed Dolly's immense mental power, made a show of hissing, then turned around and scurried away.

Dolly felt a little intrigued. He slowly came to the pagoda tree and reached out to touch it.

Pagoda trees are of the yin element, which can nourish mental power. After imprinting magic patterns, they are extremely beneficial to mental power.

This tree had been growing for who knows how many years, and the yin energy inside was extremely pure. As soon as Dolly's mental power seeped in, he felt a mental energy feeding back, making him feel that his mental power had grown a little.

Good stuff.

He only scouted it slightly, then felt somewhat disappointed. This tree had a heartwood, but it was relatively young, only about two or three hundred years old.

The pagoda tree was probably seven or eight hundred years old, but heartwood was not easy to grow, only two or three hundred years old. Dolly was still a little disappointed.

He stood up, patted the pagoda tree, and continued to walk forward.

Silent Valley was terrifyingly silent. Apart from the sound of mountain wind blowing and leaves rustling, almost no other sounds could be heard.

He came from the valley to the top of one of the mountains, then went down from the top of the mountain. Along the way, he encountered many pagoda trees with heartwood, but the age of the heartwood did not reach the required level, which was a pity. However, the yin energy was quite abundant, allowing Dolly to absorb his fill.

He sighed, he still had to go to the place that Vice-Dean Lamb had mentioned.

Silent Valley was not a valley, but a mountainous area, surrounded by towering peaks, about twelve mountain peaks, with the central peak being the highest, about two thousand meters high.

Dolly looked at the mountain peaks and, after knowing the approximate location, plunged into the mountains and forests, heading in a certain direction.

By this time, it was getting late, and Dolly walked for a while. When it was almost dark, he prepared to find a place to rest.

Silent Valley had one major advantage: there were very few living creatures, so there was no need to fear sneak attacks. He only needed to be careful of yin ghosts.

Soon, he found a large stone platform in the valley to rest there at night.

Cultivate at night.

Once he entered a state of cultivation, Dolly clearly felt that the growth of his mental power was much faster than in the academy, almost three to four times faster. Good heavens, cultivating here for a month was equivalent to half a year outside.

What a great place.

Dolly quickly entered a state of cultivation and began to absorb the power from the surrounding world.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was the middle of the night.

The Son of Fire Elemental Meditation Technique was extremely advanced, capable of cultivating up to the fifth level, transforming into a true fire elemental. Cultivation was very rapid, and with the nourishment of the abundant yin energy from the surrounding pagoda forests, the fire element quickly boiled, progressing extremely quickly.

If he cultivated here for two months, reaching the third level would not be a problem.

However, Dolly also knew that this effect could not last long, otherwise this place would definitely be full of wizards.

But no matter what, he decided to stay here for a few more days.

At this moment, he extracted most of his mental power, opened his eyes, and looked through the tent into the darkness.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

From the far side above this valley, a series of hurried footsteps came, as if someone was running for their lives. Wandering around in the mountains in the middle of the night, these people really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!

Their speed was very fast, and they were somewhat panicking, with some people falling as they walked, looking very miserable.

These were all the movements transmitted by the little things Dolly released; he did not see the real situation.

There were quite a few people in this group, comparable to the number of the Lizard Dragon Adventurer Group he had encountered on the roadside two or three days ago.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt strange. Could it really be them? But the number was a bit off, it seemed like there were fewer people.

Before long, he actually heard the sound with his ears. The group of people quickly came over, almost not daring to make too loud a sound, about to pass by him and go down the mountain.

At this moment, someone looked up and was immediately shocked.

"Big brother, there's a tent here, someone."

The voice was very soft. They seemed to be afraid of making noise, almost speaking with their throats.

The team slowed down instantly, everyone looking in shock at the tent in the valley.

The young man's face lit up with joy, and he said in a very weak voice, "Keep quiet, we'll go around it, and the monster behind us shouldn't chase us."

The surrounding young men breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, most of them wiping the sweat from their foreheads, nodding hastily.

The group thought they were moving very lightly, bypassing Dolly's tent and quickly going down the mountain.

…

Behind the tent, watching the group of people leave, Dolly's expression was a bit strange. It really was the Lizard Dragon Mercenary Group, what a narrow road.

At this moment, he had already sensed something coming down the mountain. The energy amplification in the surrounding air was very strong, and it belonged to the yin attribute. This group of people must have encountered a powerful ghost.

Dolly originally didn't want to interfere, but cleaning up the tent and various equipment would take a little time, so he could only face it head-on.

Ghosts are not subject to physical attacks, only affected by spirit and will.
