The place where the fire tree juice was produced was a volcano in the southern part of the Novice Village. There were fire trees in many of the volcanic valleys or craters. After arriving here, Ye Wei found that this place was as quiet as a limestone cave, with almost no one coming to brush the fire trees.

Ye Wei soon knew why no one came here to farm the fire trees. The first reason was because the lava was everywhere and could continuously deal damage to players. The second reason was because the Fire Tree had a Charge skill.

"You don't want to take a bath? "Alright, I'll help you." That's what every fire tree says when it hits you. After that, you would be caught in the middle of a lecture, attacked by a fire tree, and constantly burned by lava.

The magma damage here was extremely high. Even if Ye Wei's fire magic had a resistance of 35 points, he would still receive a small amount of damage.

By chance, when Ye Wei was about to launch his attack on the fire tree, he launched the Asura Step. This time around, he had actually cleverly avoided the Fire Tree's attack. Ye Wei tried a few times. Sometimes he succeeded, sometimes he failed. However, he quickly found the trick. It turned out that the Fire Tree's impact speed was similar to Ye Wei's Shura Steps. The only difference was that as long as his movements were fast, Ye Wei's Asura Step could be changed, while Fire Tree's Charge skill could only be changed. As long as he could simultaneously execute Asura Steps and change his appearance slightly when the fire tree was about to crash into him, he would be able to avoid the attack of the fire tree.

With a new understanding, Ye Wei was able to kill the fire tree more easily, and he gradually approached where the fire tree king might appear.

Ye Wei rushed into the deepest part of the biggest volcano, where the Fire Tree King and his four lackeys were taking a bath in the lava. The Boss itself wasn't very strong, but the trouble was that it had four lackeys. Fire Tree's aggro was linked with his four lackeys, so any one of them would come at the same time.

Since this was the case, Ye Wei smeared a fine Limestone Spider Venom on his sword. Then, he used the Golden Bell Talisman and the Invasion Talisman to rush up. He first gave the Fire Tree King and its four lackeys a Blood Curse, activating the berserk mode. Then, he continuously used the Shadow Moon Slash and the new Blood Boiling Technique. Ye Wei's new Blood Boiling Skill was also a group attack skill: With the Asura Bloodline, all living creatures' blood would boil, consuming 2 levels of HP per second and dealing 6 sustained damage. Cooldown: 5 seconds.

Although the Blood Boiling Art only used up HP, with the help of the Blood Curse Seal, it did not actually consume much HP. This area-of-effect skill was the same as the Shadow Moon Slash. Its cooldown time was very short and its attack range was much greater. It was a very practical area-of-effect skill.

Not long after, the Fire Tree began to use its Charge skill, and Ye Wei used Asura Steps to easily dodge it. However, he could dodge the first one, but couldn't avoid the second one. Unfortunately, he was sent flying and fell into the magma. Ye Wei had once tested that as long as you were in the lava, the fire tree would not use its charging ability. One BOSS plus four lackeys, it was impossible to avoid all of them. He might as well kill the monsters in the magma to avoid clashing back and forth. If he lost enough HP, he could use the Bitterwood Barrier to absorb damage. The Rock Spider hog was completely useless here and was burnt to death in a matter of seconds.

Ye Wei relied on the advantage of his Blood Seal. The more monsters he had, the more blood they could heal. When the Fire Tree King's lackeys started to die, the pressure on Ye Wei lessened. Ye Wei knew that the balance of victory was gradually tilting towards him.

Although the Attack Talisman and the Golden Bell Talisman disappeared after two to three minutes, the Fire Tree King only had one follower left, so Ye Wei still took the initiative.

Soon, the last normal fire tree beside the Fire Tree King was killed by Ye Wei, leaving only the Fire Tree King as the commander. Apart from the Charge skill and a fire attack spell, the Fire Tree King didn't have any other powerful skills. Without his little brother, the Fire Tree King was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, allowing Ye Wei to ravage it.

Ye Wei's luck was not very good this time. The first kill of the Fire Tree had already been taken by someone else. Other than obtaining his own quest item, he only received a single high quality Fire Wood Shield: Shield, increase defense by 20 points, and increase his HP by 30 points. There was a certain chance to deal 20 Fire Damage to the enemy after successfully blocking the attack.

Ye Wei didn't care about the shield. He threw it into the Stone Worm skin pocket and took out the Water Essence and Cloud Soil from his bag. Since the mission items were all here, there was no need for Ye Wei to return to the Beginner Village. In any case, this place was cold and empty, so Ye Wei directly found a relatively hidden corner to activate the Moon-Moon Wheel.

Following the task prompt, Ye Wei placed three items: Cloud Earth, Water Essence and Fire Tree Sap in front of the Moon Wheel. Several tentacles formed from green energy extended from the Tree of Life on the Moon-Wheel, sucking in the cloud soil, water essence, and fire tree juice.

The seed of the Tree of Life began to move, and a tender bud sprouted out, along with two leaves. It continued to grow, slowly rising until it became a foot tall tree. The Tree of Life's shape was extremely exquisite, every leaf was emerald green like jade and exuded a vigorous life force. The roots of the Tree of Life extended into the void, pulsing from time to time as if absorbing energy. Ye Wei looked at his character interface again. The "Tree of Life's Seed" in his Moon Wheel had become the "Tree of Life". Moreover, its attributes would increase greatly when it reached Silver rank.

Grade: One Element Month

[First Appearance Birth], Tree of Life, Silver-rank, Energy Level: 10.

Additional Attributes: HP increased by 100 points, spirit energy increased by 80 points, spirit energy increased by 80 points, armor increased by 10 points, vitality increased by 10 points, life type magic resistance increased by 20 points, other magic resistance increased by 10 points. Every time a Tree of Life's sub-level was increased by 1 level, HP would increase by 10 points, elemental energy by 8 points, spiritual energy by 8 points, armor by 1 point, and vitality by 1 point.)

Mage Moon Skill: Touch of Life: Allows the target to gain the effect of Touch of Life, restores the Tree of Life's sub-level 4 HP per second for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds.

[Mana Moon] Skill: Energetic Blooming: Allows the target to have an active effect. Recovers the user's elemental energy and spiritual energy from the Tree of Life sub-level of 5 per second. Lasts 10 seconds. Cooldown time: 30 seconds.

In addition to the increase in stats and skills, Ye Wei also gained a Mana Moon control skill:

[Mage Moon Skill: Binding Green]: The Tree of Life creates tenacious branches that wrap around an enemy within a 20-meter radius, preventing them from moving for 4 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds.

After Ye Wei returned to the Beginner Village, he added a few potions and runes, then headed to the second floor of the Limestone Cave to find trouble with the Fossil Tree King. This time, Ye Wei's confidence didn't come from the increase of his Moon-Moon Wheel, but from the nimble use of the Asura Step.

The two most troublesome techniques for the fossil tree king were Fist of Fossil and Earth Piercing. The Fossil Fist could knock a person unconscious for 3 seconds; the effect of the Earth Thrust was that the Fossil Tree King summoned a large amount of sharp rocks to cover the ground around the body, causing a large amount of damage, while also damaging the armor by 50 points.

Ye Wei remembered that the fossil tree king had an extremely short cast time when it used the Earth Piercing Technique. As long as Ye Wei saw the right time, he would be able to dodge this skill. If that happened, the damage Ye Wei would receive would be greatly reduced.

After the battle, Ye Wei was overjoyed to discover that Asura Steps was indeed able to avoid the Earth Thrust. In addition, perhaps considering how difficult it was to deal with the Fossil Tree King, the game designer did not arrange for the Fossil Tree King to use Fist and Earth Piercing. Otherwise, Ye Wei would have to find someone to help him.

Five minutes later, the fossil tree king collapsed onto the ground. Seeing it fall, Ye Wei couldn't help but giggle.

[Fossil Shield] (Excellent): Shield, increase defense by 30 points, increase HP by 30; Equipment level: 10.

Fist of Fossil (Excellent): One-handed Hammer, Attack Power 27-33, Attack Speed 2.0 seconds, Increases HP by 20. Attack has a certain chance to stun enemies for 2 seconds, Durability 200 points; Equipment Requirement: LV10, 45 Strength.

Ancient Tree Spirit (Superior): A trace of the ancient tree's spirit left behind, has a certain chance of increasing the quality of wood type life forms or items.

This kind of drop could only be described as a super red hand. The stats of these two pieces of high-quality equipment could definitely be considered the highest among equips of the same level. Of course, what made him the happiest was that Superior Grade Ancient Tree Spirit. It was simply tailored for Ye Wei. Ye Wei's Tree of Life is already Silver rank. If it can be raised another level, wouldn't it directly rise up to Gold rank?

But soon, Ye Wei calmed down. He noticed that the ancient tree spirit had the word "certain probability" in it. Based on the darned nature of the System, this "certain probability" was definitely not high. After thinking of this, he immediately opened a chat app. He asked his friends who were good at gathering information about the game if there was anything that could increase the success rate.

Not long after, a friend who had participated in the internal test of "Six Paths of Samsara" sent a message. He said that during the internal test, he had heard of something:

Lucky Fruit: It is said that your luck will explode after eating it! I don't know if you believe it or not, but I do believe it! The only thing that works in Beginner Village is in Beginner Village.

In the forest to the west of the Beginner Village, Cao Xiaoji's group of four once again hired a berserk six to kill an abnormally strong Demonic Vine Boss. This time, the ten of them worked well together, and in the end, other than Zhang Xiaofei, who was the main tank, the others survived.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaofei, who had revived in the Beginner Village, was loudly shouting at the chat for Cao Xiaoji to post the BOSS into the chat.

Cao Xiaoji posted the items that dropped onto the party chat. The last item she posted was a round fruit.

Zhang Xiaofei, who was in the Beginner Village, had just finished looking at the Boss' fall when she heard a voice shout, "Fist of Fossil, Stone of Stone, and Fire Wooden Tower Shield for the Lucky Fruit!"

Zhang Xiaofei looked at the description in the chat log. Wasn't the last item Cao Xiaoji sent over a Lucky Fruit? Zhang Xiaofei was so happy that she jumped three feet into the air. If she had a good shield just now, she definitely wouldn't have died.
