Witcher: I Can Extract Everything Novel - Chapter 173
Chapter 173: The Forest
Heath’s life began to enter a period of tranquility. Every morning, he would wake up at dawn and meditate. He would continue to train as a Knight until dawn.
After breakfast, he would read some books and study some spells. He would continue until lunch.
After lunch, he would rest for an hour or two and take a nap. After that, he would start meditating in the afternoon and continue until night. Then, he would meditate once and train as a Knight. Then, he would finish the day’s schedule.
Of course, this was not completely unchanged.
Occasionally, he would be attracted by a certain spell while he was studying spells. He would also adjust the pace of his cultivation for the day to increase the amount of time he spent studying spells.
Or, when he suddenly had an idea and wanted to do an experiment, he would also set aside time to do the experiment.
Over the years, with the help of the system, his strength had been improving by leaps and bounds. In fact, a lot of knowledge had been forced into his mind. Although he had learned it, his grasp of it was actually not very reliable.
Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, Heath also happened to master this knowledge thoroughly and thoroughly.
Practice, study, practice the sword, experiment.
Heath spent most of his time on these few projects, and every day was very fulfilling.
Days passed in such fulfilling ways.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
Underdark Treesea, Golden Apple Forest.
Golden Apple Forest was a wonderful fruit forest in the northwest part of the Underdark Treesea. It was said that there was a strange kind of apple tree growing in the forest.
It was said that this kind of fruit tree would only bear fruit once every ten years, and only one fruit would grow at a time. The apple that grew out of it was golden, so it had this name.
It was said that this kind of fruit could not be seen during the day, and only in the dark would it emit a very bright golden light.
If someone found this golden apple and ate it, they would obtain the power of a Wizard, and they would be immortal and young forever!
At this moment, the night was thick, and in the Golden Apple Forest, a figure was moving quickly through the forest.
Da da da da… The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the forest.
Heath, who was wearing a black cloak, jumped from the top of a tree to the top of another tree. He kept turning his head and scanning the forest, as if he was looking for something.
His goal for this trip was precisely this kind of Golden Apple.
Recently, the church had sent him a potion formula in the direction of vitality. He was more interested in it and planned to try to make it. And he needed to use the material of the Golden Apple.
“Hmm?”
At this moment, Heath’s gaze suddenly fell in a direction.
He saw that in the depths of the forest, a faint layer of golden light could be faintly seen. It was particularly dazzling in this pitch-black forest.
Heath’s eyes lit up. ‘I found it!’
He hurriedly looked in that direction. After passing through a row of trees, he came to an open space.
The grass and vegetation in this open space were flourishing, but there were no extra trees around. There was only an apple tree.
And on this apple tree, there was only one apple, and this apple was golden. At this moment, it was emitting a golden light.
Golden Apple!
The records of the Golden Apple in the human world roughly matched the characteristics of the Golden Apple. The difference was that the golden light of the Golden Apple was actually an elemental light, and ordinary humans could not see it.
Moreover, the Golden Apple itself had a certain level of spirit attack. Ordinary humans would be hypnotized by its consciousness when they approached it, and they would not be able to discover its existence.
After a few ups and downs, Heath arrived in front of the Golden Apple Tree.
Just as he approached, the golden light suddenly rose. At the same time, Heath immediately felt a violent vibration in his spirit.
It was the Golden Apple’s self-protection method. When it sensed danger, it would naturally release a strong spiritual forcefield to defend itself.
The strength of this spiritual forcefield was almost as strong as a Wizard’s spell. It was far from what an ordinary Apprentice could withstand. Usually, the Apprentices who came to collect the Golden Apple would wear special protective Wizard gear.
However, it was not so troublesome for an official Wizard.
Just as the spiritual forcefield was attacking him, the Half-Life Soul in Heath’s spiritual sea naturally spilled out and protected his spiritual sea seamlessly.
In the past ten years, Heath had made many improvements to the Half-Life Soul. At this moment, the thickness of the Half-Life Soul had reached more than one meter. It was as hard as a city wall and was far from being broken by this little spiritual forcefield.
After the Half-Life Soul surged up, the spiritual forcefield of the Golden Apple completely lost its effect.
Heath then reached out his hand to pick the Golden Apple.
At this moment.
“Wa wa wa wa! No! No! Don’t eat me! Don’t eat me! Ruth doesn’t want to be eaten!” A child-like cry sounded.
A little girl’s facial features suddenly appeared on the face of the Golden Apple. At this time, she was crying loudly with her mouth open.
At the same time, there was a series of clattering sounds around.
The branches on the apple tree suddenly squirmed for no reason, and a large number of them swept towards Heath.
“Hmph!”
Heath snorted lightly, and the Wizard’s Forcefield was instantly released. The branches that rushed over were instantly frozen by him.
At the same time, he pulled out the dagger on his waist, and with a swing of his knife, he cut off the Golden Apple.
“Ah!”
The fruit let out a shrill cry after its root was cut off. Then, it quickly lost its vitality and became motionless as if its head had been cut off.
“I wonder if this potion formula is really used. It’s getting harder and harder to increase vitality now.”
After [Traceless Time], Heath continued to consume other materials and potions such as Life Water and the Immortality Potion to increase his vitality. At this moment, his vitality had already exceeded 400 years old.
However, after spanning more than 400 years, it suddenly became difficult to continue to increase his vitality. In these two years, his vitality had basically not increased, but only weakened.
“Hopefully, it will bring good news!”
Heath kept the Golden Apple into his dimensional pocket, then he immediately got up and headed back without any delay.
Just as he was about to return home, he suddenly stopped after taking a few steps, and his gaze turned towards a direction in the forest.
Heath raised his eyebrows. ‘Is there someone there?’
His sharp hearing allowed him to clearly distinguish that there was a faint sound of footsteps and at the same time, there was a faint spiritual fluctuation coming from that direction.
It seemed that the person who came over was his own kind…
