The people around also quieted down, holding their breath and staring at the two people in the field.
Both sides moved at the same time and turned into shadows.
Bang!
Their fists punched together.
He was really powerful!
Feeling the labor pain from his fist, Locke was slightly shocked and sighed.
If Locke was surprised, then Ivan was shocked. With Ivanâs current physical strength, even if there was a rock in front of him, he could smash it into pieces with one punch. However, when he was hit by Lockeâs fist just now, a strong force directly passed from his fist to his arm. For a moment, his entire arm was numb.
After only one fight, Ivan was sure that this human youth in front of him could be on par with him in terms of physical strength.
On the other side, although Locke sighed, he was not slow. His knees were already against Ivanâs abdomen.
Ivan reacted quickly. He blocked Lockeâs attack with both hands and stepped back at the same time. After taking a few steps back, he suddenly stopped, slammed the ground, and shot toward Locke.
Locke was also not afraid. He withdrew his feet slightly, gathered his strength, and rushed in the direction of Ivan.
Bang!
The two sides collided again.
Bang!
Bang!
âGreat!â
Ivan shouted.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already fought dozens of times. In the following battles, the two of them didnât choose any other moves. They fought against each other purely with their bodies.
The elves on the side have also been stunned at this time. The human youth in front of them was as strong as Ivan in physical strength!
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had fought several more times, and the expressions of the elves around them became more complicated.
Swoosh!
Ivan gasped, his forehead covered with sweat.
The others were all silent. They could see that Ivan was obviously at a disadvantage in this battle. After several battles, his physical strength had been used up, and he was now a spent arrow.
On the contrary, Vanessa didnât show much surprise on her face. When she had examined Lockeâs body, she had known that Locke had a very strong body.
Bang!
Sure enough, in this collision, Ivan was thrown backward for more than ten meters before he could barely stabilize himself.
Looking in the direction of Locke, Ivan took a deep breath and said slowly, âYou win.â
Locke smiled and said, âItâs a tie. You didnât use magic power. Otherwise, Iâm no match for you.â
He was telling the truth. If Ivan used magic, he would only lose.
Ivan shook his head, âLosing is losing. I wonât find any excuse for myself.â
As he spoke, his face soared with the fighting spirit and he rubbed his fists, âWhen you recover, we will have a good fight.â
Locke nodded, âIâm looking forward to it.â
âLetâs go.â
Seeing that the battle was over, Vanessa walked up and said to Locke and Artemis.
After this battle, the attitude of the crowd toward Locke changed significantly. The eyes of the female elves were even more radiant. If it werenât for the presence of Vanessa, they would have pounced on him.
About half an hour later, they finally arrived at a quiet palace.
In the distance, a group of people had already been waiting.
The woman was about thirty years old. She wore a white robe, with a golden crown on her head. Her golden beautiful long hair fell on her well-proportioned shoulders. Her beautiful face was under her long hair, and her skin was as white as jade, without any trace of age.
She just stood there, showing a noble temperament unconsciously. In addition to this noble temperament, there was a unique charm of a mature woman.
âMother.â
Vanessa bowed to the woman, and so did Deere and the others.
The woman fondly stroked Vanessaâs hair and said, âIâm glad youâre back safe and sound.â
âYour Majesty.â
Locke bowed slightly to show his respect to the elf queen, while Artemis and Ares nodded slightly. As gods, they naturally wouldnât salute mortals. It was already a great etiquette for them to nod.
The elders behind the queen frowned slightly. They were very dissatisfied with the attitude of Ares and Artemis.
An old woman behind the queenâs face darkened. She shot one magic power toward the direction of Artemis.
Artemis chuckled lightly, and her eyes narrowed.
However, the next moment, the old woman turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood, staggering a few steps.
The others were slightly shocked and quickly held the old woman who was vomiting blood beside them.
Another woman beside her stared at Artemis and said in a gloomy voice, âSir, are you going too far?â
Artemis chuckled, âTrust me. If you continue to act like this, I donât mind doing something more excessive.â
âYou!â
The old menâs faces were livid with anger.
âAll right.â The elf queen waved her hand and interrupted the elders who were about to continue talking. She looked at Artemis apologetically and said, âMiss Artemis, itâs our fault. I apologize to you on behalf of them.â
âLet me introduce myself. Iâm the queen of the elf race, OâNeill Adeline.â
Locke greeted, âQueen Adeline.â
âIn the letter, Vanessa highly praised Mr. Capet. Now it seems that Mr. Capet is more extraordinary than what Vanessa said.â
The elf queen smiled.
âThank you.â
Locke didnât show much modesty.
âTime is pressing. Letâs get down to business first.â The beautiful elf queen came straight to the point and smiled, âPlease follow me.â
About ten minutes later, a huge ancient tree appeared in front of Locke.
The ancient tree was twenty meters in diameter and its leaves were luxuriant, towering up towards the sky. Locke could feel a sense of vitality from it.
âThis is the tree of life of our elf race. Every hundred years, it will condense a drop of water of life.â
The elf queen looked at the tree of life with respect and continued, âHowever, it has entered its twilight years. Ten years ago, the tree of life passed down an oracle saying that it was about to wither, unable to continue to protect the elf race. We need to find another tree of life, and at that time, it will transfer its power to the new tree of life.â
After being stunned for a moment, Locke asked tentatively, âSo, your purpose of coming to me is related to another tree of life?â
The elf queen smiled and nodded, âTo be exact, we hope you can help us find it.â
âFind another tree of life?â Locke smiled helplessly. âThe tree of life is priceless. Let alone I donât know where there is a tree of life. Even if it appears, there must be countless powerful masters and forces fighting for it. Even if I want to help, Iâm afraid I canât.â
The elf queen gently walked up to the giant tree, reached out her hand, and stroked it. She looked back at Locke and said, âOf course, we have considered this situation. Therefore, after we got the oracle, we began to search around for information about the tree of life. Three years ago, we finally found some clues and roughly confirmed the location of the tree of life.â
âThe reason why we come to you this time is that we hope you can help us take back the tree of life,â
To let him help them take the tree of life? After thinking for a while, Locke asked, âIs there any restriction on this place?â
The elf queen nodded, âAfter our investigation, we have confirmed that the tree of life is very likely to be in an ancient relic called âthe land of legacyâ. This ancient relic has the restriction of an ancient god, and no creatures over 100 years old can enter it.â
âThis relic is located in the territory of the blue demon race, and our elf race has always been in a hostile relationship with the blue demon race, so we need a spokesperson to help us retrieve the tree of life,â
