After I cultivated immortality, I discussed the theory of lifespan with a long-lived spirit.

Chapter 56 The Struggle for Elemental Power

The Misty Forest, the Nest of Mist Skeletons.

The dragon shaman, Kolo, was covered in gray scales, and his two vertical pupils glowed red. He calmly took a sip of fruit wine with his claws and began to ponder quietly.

"It's been three years already."

He arrived in the Misty Forest three years ago and, after investigating, discovered that the elemental power here was very abundant, but also very chaotic.

This kind of place is most likely to give birth to all kinds of monsters, which is exactly the place Kolo wants.

He then led his tribe of lizard-like beings to a location that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and where the elemental power was most abundant, and began to build a camp.

During the process, many monsters attacked the unfinished camps. Some could be recruited, while others could not, which caused Kolo a lot of trouble and delayed the construction.

Several months ago, the Fog Bone Nest camp was finally completed.

Kolo received orders from his superiors to make this place a long-term base, so after completing the construction of the camp, he began to set up a magic circle to protect the camp, adapting to the local conditions.

Some time ago, he was testing a hallucinogenic toxic fog, and it went very smoothly.

The magic circle, which had taken a great deal of effort, has now been successfully completed. Driven by the continuous elemental power of the Misty Forest, a large amount of hallucinogenic poisonous mist is released, quickly covering the core area of ​​the forest.

At that moment, a lizard-like sentinel came to report.

"Chief, we have thoroughly investigated and found that the poisonous fog has not spread beyond the core area."

Kolo frowned and said, "What the hell is Blackrock City up to? This is the fourth time!"

He still remembered that more than a month ago, he was testing the setting up of the magic array when a sudden change occurred, and a gust of wind swept through the camp.

For no apparent reason, the elemental power in the camp was reduced by more than half.

More than half a month passed, and after a long time when the elemental power had finally recovered, Kolo was preparing to continue setting up the magic circle when a gust of wind swept through the camp again.

The elemental power, which hadn't even warmed up yet, was instantly absorbed again.

This time, Kolo was prepared. He noticed that the elemental power was heading towards Blackrock City, and guessed that the mages of Blackrock City might be doing something.

Although Kolo was furious, he was helpless, after all, he was only at the peak of the third tier. Rumor had it that the chief mage of Blackrock City, Morris, was already at the fifth tier, which he thought might be a bluff, but he dared not gamble.

In short, he will definitely not get justice in Blackrock City.

Soon, the third instance of elemental power was absorbed and appeared, which Kolo was already used to.

He noticed that the location of the absorption was relatively close and should not be within Blackrock City, but he was also worried that it might be a powerful figure from Blackrock City fishing for him, so he did not act rashly out of caution.

Now, the elemental power has been absorbed again.

Although not as intense as the previous three times, the continuous attacks were still enough to affect even the magic circle.

Originally, according to Kolo's plan, the poisonous fog would quickly spread to the entire Misty Forest, and then this place would all be his territory. But now it only covers the core area, which is far from meeting the requirements.

"If I have less of this elemental power, they have more. This will be very disadvantageous in the long run."

After careful consideration, Kolo decided to send someone to Blackrock City to investigate and find out what kind of magic circle was drawing elemental power. With such a large-scale extraction, the magic circle must be very conspicuous.

After pondering for a while, he realized that although he had some strong monsters under his command, they were not intelligent enough to handle the task.

Most importantly, these monsters will likely be discovered as soon as they get close to Blackrock City.

"The anvil would be suitable for infiltration as a human, but I still need him, and besides, he's wanted by the authorities now."

After much deliberation, Kolos decided to send out the best fighters from his own tribe.

He immediately called out to the guards at the door, "Bring Nak over."

Not long after, a young-looking lizard-like creature with gray-green scales entered the house and immediately bowed respectfully to Chloe.

"Chieftain, what brings you here?"

"Please sit down."

Upon hearing this, Nak sat down very nervously to the side, his eyes fixed on Kolo with apprehension.

"I remember you really liked my youngest daughter, Mara."

Nak was startled and immediately knelt down and prostrated himself on the ground.

"Please, clan chief, spare my life!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

Kolo told Nak to get up from the ground, but Nak refused to get up until Kolo showed anger, at which point he cautiously got up.

Now Nak is terrified and no longer dares to look Chloe in the eye.

Chloe took another sip of fruit wine, her expression completely calm: "Don't worry, I have good news for you this time."

Nak was slightly taken aback, then quickly sat up straight and listened attentively.

Chloe continued, "I'm prepared to give Mara to you in marriage."

Nak froze on the spot upon hearing this, somewhat incredulous.

"Chieftain, I..."

Chloe waved her hand and smiled, "Let's set the wedding for a week from now."

He was stunned for several seconds before his sorrow turned to joy, as if he had forgotten the fear he had just felt.

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Chief. I will protect Mara with my life."

Kolo was satisfied with Nak's performance, then changed the subject and said:

"Before that, there's a small thing I need you to do."

"Please give your orders, Chieftain, and I will do my utmost to complete them."

Kolo immediately mentioned that he was going to send Nak to Blackrock City to investigate.

"I chose you because you are quick-witted and your strength has reached the second level. Other members of the clan have not had this opportunity."

Nak's expression changed. How could he not know that Blackrock City was extremely dangerous? Hadn't he seen that the clan leader had been holed up in the Misty Forest for three years and hadn't gone out at all?

But since the clan chief has made such a promise, if he were to regret it and refuse, he might not be able to save his own life.

Maybe he'll come back.

Nak thought about Mara's stunning figure, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, okay."

Kolo immediately laughed and personally served Nak a glass of fruit wine.

Although the wine was cloudy and difficult to drink, it was considered quite precious in the camp.

Nak's eyes lit up. He was extremely grateful, then took the fruit wine and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.

Kolo's smile deepened as he watched Nak finish his fruit wine.

Afterwards, Chloe eagerly finished explaining the relevant details to him, and then took out a few rolls.

"This is a disguise scroll that can change your race. Use it as soon as you arrive in Blackrock City."

But remember, the magic only lasts for twelve hours, and stay away from those old mages; they can tell.

After noting these things down, Nak felt that the chieftain was very well prepared, even bringing out precious magic scrolls. It seemed that he was not being used as cannon fodder, which gave him a lot of confidence.

He picked up the scroll and then carried the luggage that Chloe had prepared in advance.

"Remember, whether you hear from us or not, you must be back within three days."

Kolo personally escorted him to the camp gate, and after watching Nak and the sentries disappear into the mist, his expression immediately turned cold.

He slowly took out a small bottle from his pocket, which contained half a bottle of green liquid, and had just poured half of it into the fruit wine.

If Nak saw it, he would definitely recognize it as the deadly poison concocted by the chieftain.

Chloe shook her head again and sighed.

"Nark, I'm glad you came back safely. If you don't, then don't bring trouble home."
