"How is this possible!?" Ryan expressed his confusion at Osvaldo's words.
You know, the Elf Mother Tree is the foundation of the Elf Forest, and the surrounding defenses are among the strongest on the continent.
Even if other seventh-level beings came, they would not be able to pose any threat to the Elf Mother Tree.
Now Osvaldo told him that the life energy of the Elf Mother Tree had been forcibly extracted, which undoubtedly caused great confusion in Ryan's heart.
After all, who on the mainland has the ability to do that?
"Other than that, I can't think of any other reason to explain what just happened." Facing Ryan's doubts, Osvaldo shook his head.
The four of them stopped talking, each with their own thoughts in mind, and flew in complete silence towards the Elf Mother Tree.
Only the whistling sound of the wind remained in my ears.
Ryan brought Lucifer and the two branch chiefs and quickly rushed to the vicinity of the Elf Mother Tree.
As soon as they arrived nearby, Ryan and Lucifer were stopped by the serious-looking, fully armed elf guards.
"Stop! This is a special period! Please do not come any closer to this human guest, otherwise I will take unconventional measures."
An elven guard captain placed his hand on the longsword at his waist, as if he would draw his sword if Ryan came any closer.
"No, this is Master Ryan, a guest of Her Majesty the Queen. There is no need to panic."
"I can vouch for Master Ryan. You can leave now." Osvaldo beside Ryan waved his hand and said.
Hearing this, the captain of the elf guard who had just stopped him relaxed his vigilance against Ryan. With the patriarch of a branch clan guaranteeing him, this human could not be an enemy.
"Yes, Chief Osvaldo."
The captain of the Elf Guard led his team to clear the way to the Elf Mother Tree.
Because there was a no-fly magic circle around the Elf Mother Tree, the few of them could only go there on foot.
After passing the Elf Guard Captain's pass, Ryan smiled secretly in his heart.
He was thankful that he had just met up with the two chiefs first, otherwise he couldn't even get close to the Elf Mother Tree.
The group then moved quickly, passed three more inspections, and finally arrived at the roots of the Elf Mother Tree.
At this time, Ryan looked up and saw that the withering degree of the elf mother tree had reached one-fifth, and it was still turning yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was in stark contrast to the lively appearance of the Elf Forest that Ben Ryan had seen when he first arrived.
Even the originally golden trunks were dull and lifeless at this moment.
A man came to Estella, and Christine, the chief of the Wood Tribe, asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, what happened to the Elf Mother Tree? And what about that life energy just now?"
Facing Christine's question, Estella sighed deeply, and her aura became a little withered.
"I just checked the situation of the Elf Mother Tree and found that half of the life energy in the Elf Mother Tree disappeared out of thin air. The current situation is not optimistic."
"If we can't fill this gap in life energy, the Elf Mother Tree will probably wither completely after this incident."
Estella's words confirmed Osvaldo's guess, causing the two branch chiefs who finally arrived at the Elf Mother Tree to fall into deep thought.
"Who did it?" Osvaldo asked, gritting his teeth and trembling all over.
Listening to Osvaldo's question, Ryan became more serious.
"I don't know. The person who made the move was extremely skilled. Even though I rushed here the moment I felt the life energy appear, I still couldn't see the person who made the move." Estella shook her head.
Hearing this, Ryan immediately thought of something and looked at the Elf Mother Tree.
