There weren't many things that would surprise Stephen and make him feel shocked, but there was one right in front of him.

What appeared in front of the group was a large tree, about 90 meters high, located on the back side of the volcano, with thick rhizomes that pierced into the volcano, almost directly touching the hot magma.

It's an ancient tree.

The bark of the ancient tree is very rough and thick, and there are many cracks on the surface, and the light of the flame can be seen in the cracks, as if there is magma surging inside the tree pole, its leaves are dark red, and there are strange lines on the surface, which is an ancient tree species that Stephen has never seen in the past.

It looks as if it were a fire tree!

But that's not the most surprising thing for Stephen, the reason he was really shocked was because there was a huge wreck underneath the ancient tree.

It was a dragon.

The remains of a fifty or sixty-meter-long dragon, the thick keel of which had existed for a long time, judging from its size, it was very likely to be an ancient dragon, and it was even a little older. The other half of the ancient tree's rhizome was inside the massive dragon remains, and it looked like it had almost merged with the dragon remains in front of them.

"This dragon is a bit powerful! I'm afraid it has evolved to the level of the Elder Dragon!"

Stephen looked at the outline of the dragon's skull, and then judged it according to the characteristics of his body, and said secretly: "I'm afraid this is a red dragon above the ancient level, and it may also be a half-blood color dragon!"

"Need my help?" the blue-robed wizard turned to them, the flames dancing in his sockets staring at them.

The twin sisters leaned over slightly and said, "Trouble adults." ”

The blue-robed wizard nodded, and his figure turned into a flame and rose into the air, quickly plucking two fruits from the ancient tree.

It's a fiery fruit.

There are flame patterns on the surface, the skin is a bit like overlapping dragon scales, and the temperature is more than one or two hundred degrees, no wonder the aborigines named it dragon fruit.

- "Weak Fire Resistance!"

The twin sisters first cast a spell on themselves, and then reached out and took the dragon fruit.

The blue-robed wizard looked at Stephen and his group and nodded slightly, and then walked towards the location of the crater, he directly entered the interior of the volcano, and quickly disappeared in front of him.

"Some of the flame wizards in the elemental pool will cultivate here. The twin sisters whispered.

One by one, they carefully held the dragon fruit and said, "Let's go back quickly." When the fruit is picked, the energy inside is gradually lost. ”

A little spark is emerging from inside the dragon fruit.

In the theory of aboriginal shamans, the basic composition of everything in the world is composed of earth, water, wind and fire, including our human body, in the aboriginal shaman's view, wind represents human breath, fire represents human temperature, earth represents human body, and water represents human blood. The four elements are intertwined and circulated in the human body, constantly combining to form new substances, so the human body can hold elemental energy, but only the body of a wizard can hold more elemental energy.

This is a bit like the Five Elements Doctrine of the East.

However, for gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the four element theories of aboriginal wizards are a little more understandable, and they are all very intuitively reflected.

In the process of cultivating and taking potions, the concentration of elements in the body of fire wizards rises sharply, and there will be some external changes after the fusion of bloodlines. For example, the eyes of the blue-robed wizard just now, his eyes turned into flames represent the embodiment that he is about to reach the third order, and this kind of high-level wizard will transform into an elemental form in the later stage.

In the end, just like Victor the red-robed wizard, he became a fire-like creature inside!

Nothing happened on the way back.

However, after returning to the Botanical Gardens to deliver the dragon fruit to Witch Liana, the Fairy Witch impatiently kicked them out of the room.

"Come back in the evening. The Leprechaun Witch said.

The twin sisters returned to the treehouse with Stephen, and it happened that everyone was more free today, so it was a rare time to sit together in the hammock and chat today. The twin sisters showed Stephen the bruises on his arms, complaining about how the wizards in the elemental pool didn't know how to pity the jade, and they were beaten up in the actual combat training course.

Stephen laughed at this.

The wizards of the elemental pool have basically turned into another kind of humanoid creature in the late stage of promotion, and in the case of giving up their physical bodies, they may not even have the basic ***, how can they still pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

They're probably thinking too much!

As he learned about the cultivation methods of aboriginal wizards, Stephen also found a lot of problems.

For example, according to the cultivation methods of many wizards, they will gradually lose ***, including the ability to reproduce, which is most obvious in wizards who transform into elemental forms. The botanical garden is a little better, after all, it is biased towards nature, and reproduction in nature is a very important part. The hardest hit areas are the wizards of the elemental pool, as well as the dark wizards of the outside world, whose physical form only retains the outline of a person, and their inner form has been completely changed. The desire to reproduce mainly comes from physical and psychological, and many wizards no longer need this physically.

Perhaps because of this, wizards attach great importance to recruiting apprentices.

The wizards of the Five Rings Tower themselves do not have much ability to give birth to new apprentices, and many wizards consider offspring to be a drag, so the sources of new apprentices are from many countries in the mortal world.

The civilization of the Arcane Empire is slightly better, although the physical fitness is not as strong as that of the aboriginal wizards, but many spellcasters have descendants left, and the warlock's vein is slightly more difficult, probably because of the relationship between the dragon bloodline, the warlock needs to go through many mating and mating before he can get pregnant if he wants to reproduce.

However, this is much easier on the mage's side, as many casters have successfully conceived offspring and inherited some of their abilities.

In the Arcane Empire civilization, generally speaking, at least three out of ten wizards have reproduced offspring, while in the aboriginal wizard civilization, I am afraid that at most only one out of ten wizards may reproduce. Most of the wizard apprentices start cultivating at the age of adolescence, so many of them have already transformed part of their physical state before they officially develop and have the need to reproduce, and the profession of the wizard itself makes them feel that reproduction is a drag. No one would have thought about the official wizard before, and there will be a higher realm waiting to break through after the official wizard, and the people who began to have some thoughts in this area among the high-level wizards have basically lost the ability to reproduce at that time.

This kind of thing can't be said to be good or bad.

After all, in Stephen's opinion, an aboriginal wizard of the same level can fight at least two or three wizards of the Arcane Empire civilization of the same level, and this kind of strength must come at a price!
