Walking through a small archway, Zhao Hai and the queen entered a room that wasn't very large. The room was only about a hundred square meters, but it had a height of around five meters.
In the center of the room, there was a pool, and in the middle of the pool grew a small tree that was not very tall. This tree was quite peculiar; it was entirely green and appeared transparent, resembling a green crystal sculpture. It was hard to tell that it was a plant at all.
What struck Zhao Hai as most unusual was that this tree had only nine slender branches, and each branch had only one leaf. Each leaf was also like a crystal sculpture, except that the color of the veins was slightly deeper, making it look very beautiful.
However, among these nine leaves, one of them had turned slightly yellow, looking as if it was slowly wilting.
Beside the edge of the pool, there were several Pu Tuan, and it was evident that they were clean and frequently used.
The queen knelt gently beside one of the Pu Tuan and bowed three times to the small tree in the pool before standing up and turning to Zhao Hai. "Sir, this is the divine artifact of our Elven Tribe, the Tree of Life. Previously, all the leaves on this Tree of Life were green, but today I discovered that one of the leaves has turned yellow, which reminded me of the prophecy of the Dwarven Tribe. That is why I asked you to come and take a look."
Zhao Hai nodded and walked to the edge of the pool. The pool wasn't very large and was filled with water. As soon as Zhao Hai approached the edge, he realized that this water was indeed the Life Liquid, but it was more advanced than the Life Liquid he had acquired before, with a greater concentration.
The Tree of Life stood in this pool, and there was no soil; it seemed as if the tree was parasitizing on this giant tree.
Zhao Hai frowned. To be honest, he didn't know if the space could revive the Tree of Life. If the space could indeed revive it, everything would be easy; but if it could not, the Elven Tribe would face serious trouble.
Seeing Zhao Hai's expression, the queen's heart sank. She thought Zhao Hai had no way to save the Tree of Life, but she still asked, "Do you have any solutions, sir?"
Zhao Hai turned to look at the queen and said solemnly, "I can think of a way, but I do not have complete confidence. I cannot perform the treatment here. We need to take the Tree of Life to another location and then proceed with the treatment. If Your Majesty agrees, I can give it a try. If Your Majesty does not agree, then I have no other methods."
The queen was taken aback by Zhao Hai's words and then frowned. "Sir, the Tree of Life is extremely important to our Elven Tribe. I cannot make a decision immediately. I would like to discuss this with my people before responding to you."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright. However, Your Majesty should understand what this matter means for the Elven Tribe better than I do. I won't say more. I hope Your Majesty will avoid causing panic among the Elven Tribe. Furthermore, if you allow me to take the Tree of Life, I have an eighty percent chance of being able to heal it, and it won't take too long."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's statement, the queen was momentarily stunned. Then she nodded and said, "Alright, sir, please rest assured. I will handle this. Please follow me." After saying that, she led Zhao Hai out of the tree hollow.
Once outside, Zhao Hai did not ride the Clear Tone Bird but turned to the queen and said, "Your Majesty, I will not stay here any longer. I need to head to the front lines. If you agree to let me come and heal it, please inform me using the message fish."
The queen nodded and said, "Alright, then I will trouble you, sir." Zhao Hai slightly bowed to the queen, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot. The queen immediately mounted the Clear Tone Bird and flew back towards the palace.
They did not return immediately to Yangping City but entered the space, pulling up the scene from Yangping City to watch.
