Half a day later.
In a forest atop a high mountain.
Under the strange purple-red sky, Colin, accompanied by the little elf Nasi, weaved through the dark green woods speckled with dark red patches.
"This ancient tree seems suitable."
Suddenly, Colin stopped and looked up at the tall ancient tree in front of him, with its brown bark and lush branches, the trunk as thick as five men hugging it together.
He nodded in satisfaction, stepped forward, and placed his palm on it.
Moments later, a slightly dark red tinged emerald Ancient Tree Heart Crystal gradually emerged in the palm of his hand.
"Nasi, here."
As soon as the crystal formed, Colin quickly handed it to Nasi, who was in the hood.
Originally planned to leave the cave immediately, he didn't expect the outside pollution wind to remain unabated, which continued for most of the day until just now when it finally dissipated.
