Chapter 270: Help in Dilemma
The airship's protective formation was no match for the giant palm, and the wizards guarding the rear deck cast various spells to no avail. They could only worry, but fortunately Tim arrived with a sword.

"Head Deacon, what should we do?"

"Step aside."

Tim gritted his teeth and slashed down with his sword, his fighting spirit turning into a slash, avoiding the giant palm and slashing at the airship.

If the airship was towed back, the consequences would be disastrous, so he had no choice but to take this unconventional measure.

The others immediately understood, and with their combined efforts, the rear end of the hull broke off. The airship took the opportunity to accelerate and rush out, and the giant palm only pulled back a pile of wood that was almost crushed.

After the thrilling experience, Tim and the others became frightened birds, maneuvering the airship to speed all the way, leaving the area covered by the blood-red light far behind.

"It's safe."

"Don't let up, keep moving forward, we'll find a place to rest."

After all the trouble just now, the airship suddenly malfunctioned and needed to be repaired.

At present, the best way is to find a commercial city to land, buy materials for repair, or find someone to help repair. Not long after, they made the same choice as most people and came to Luoguang City.

Luoguang City has complete infrastructure. The airships land at a special location. There is more than one airship parked here, and there are shops selling airship-related materials nearby.

After a moment, they checked the airship inside and out again.

"how?"

“It is badly damaged and needs major repairs.”

Hearing Dolly's answer, Tim frowned slightly, not because of the problem with the airship, but because he vaguely realized that he and others seemed to be being targeted.

He found that there were people following him, and there was more than one group of people.

Could it be that the news about the goods leaked?
"Head Deacon?"

"Something's wrong."

Tim told Dolly about his discovery, which made Dolly look a little ugly. He looked around with an unfriendly look, and sure enough, something was eyeing their airship.

"Be patient." Tim stopped Dolly who was about to take action, and then said, "In Luoguang City, these people will not take action easily. You take care of them first, and I will go to get some information."

"Okay, then I'll take people to repair the airship right away." Dolly knew that the chief deacon was very capable, so he agreed immediately.

After leaving the airship, Tim stood in a hidden place on the street corner for a few seconds. When he came out again, he had changed into a completely different person. Then he came to a more lively street nearby and chose the largest tavern to go in.

He found a seat and sat down. He did not rush to buy the news. Instead, like other guests, he drank and listened to the people around him chatting.

Not long after they sat down, the volume of conversation in the tavern suddenly dropped.

Tim subconsciously looked in the direction of the unusual movement and found a familiar figure walking out. His eyes flickered a few times.

Seeing the other party walking out of the tavern, he thought it over again and again, then stood up and chased after him.

"Mr. Marichatton, we meet again."

"you are?"

On the street outside the tavern, Ivan, who had eaten and drunk his fill, heard a voice behind him. He stopped and turned around, only to find that it was a wizard he didn't recognize.

"Sir, I'm Tim from Ancient Tree Ridge Academy. We've met before in Thunder Bluff. Your heroic act of killing bandits with ease was amazing." Tim quickly changed back to his original appearance.

"It's you." Ivan recognized him and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes, I want to ask you for a favor." Tim explained the reason.

"There is no friendship between our colleges." Ivan said lightly.

"I can pay you a reward, a special item, or something else you like." Tim knew this of course, so he could only offer the biggest bargaining chip he could.

"It seems like you're in a lot of trouble." Ivan laughed. He thought of Solomon's words: "Well, since I'm free anyway, I'll go with you."

"Sir, please come this way. The academy's airship has docked in the city and is being repaired." Tim couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard his affirmative answer.

According to his principles, he didn't want to ask for help from others.

However, the blood-red light occupied the road, preventing them from leaving. The airship was severely damaged, its defense and flexibility were greatly reduced, and it was targeted by an unknown enemy. All these factors combined made it impossible for him to compromise.

As Tim led Ivan to the airship docking area, he chose to tell the truth and explained his predicament one by one.

"Have you noticed that there are a lot of people who have undergone blood transformation here, including wizards." Ivan motioned him to look at the pedestrians around him, and then analyzed: "The fruit you gave him earlier is a powerful weapon for them."

"You mean the red fruit - the heart of the wild beast?"

"Yes, that thing is very valuable. The news has already spread from Thunder Bluff to Luoguang City. It is normal for you to be targeted."

After hearing his hint, Tim realized belatedly that what was coveted was the 'Heart of the Wild Beast', not the goods being transported.

After realizing this, he didn't know what to say.

He secretly regretted that if he had known it was so attractive, he should not have taken out the Heart of the Wild Beast so easily. It was no use regretting now.

A few minutes later, the two arrived next to the airship "Ancient Wood".

Ivan went forward to look at the damaged part of the airship, which was directly shortened. It was foreseeable how urgent the situation was. The people of the Ancient Tree Spine were indeed unlucky.

"Do you need my help to repair it?" Mona Ant Farm Hut did not build an airship, but he was quite interested in it and asked casually.

"No, no, I dare not trouble you with such a small matter." Tim did not dare to bother him, fearing that his reward would not be enough and he had to spend it on important matters. "You want me to help look after the airship for a few days while it is repaired, right?"

"Yes, thank you very much." Tim nodded and said, "Please come with me to the airship and stay for a while to see if the reward is what you want."

"Let's go."

The two of them jumped up and landed lightly on the deck.

Arriving at the first hall of the airship, Tim took out a crystal box from inside, placed it solemnly on the table beside Ivan, and opened it to reveal something wrapped in spider silk cloth.

A shriveled, blackened tree root.

It looks ordinary, even a little ugly.

Perhaps it was because the strange object was naturally obscure, and at first glance, Ivan couldn't see anything.

"Sir, don't underestimate it. It can actually be regarded as a rare item, a special magical item, and a growing one at that," Tim introduced.

To prove the truth of what he said, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal the yellowed tree roots wrapped around his forearms.

He stretched out his hand to the other side, his mind floating, and the yellowed tree roots quickly extended and accurately hit the wall lamp hanging on the wall. The roots passed through the flames, pierced the wall lamp, and pulled down the burning wall lamp.

As the yellowing roots retracted, the sconce fell into his hands.

"That doesn't mean anything?" Ivan said speechlessly.

Tim realized that he had done something stupid and explained it with a little embarrassment.

"It actually has only one characteristic, which is its amazing hardness. Whether it is a sword, fire, or frost, it is difficult to damage it in the slightest."

"Let me try burning it?"

"You can test it as you like. There is absolutely no falsehood in what I say."

Seeing that he deliberately extended the yellowed tree roots, Ivan did not hesitate to burn them with candle flame magic first, and sure enough, they were not affected. Then he used black magic fire to burn them out, and it took a while before subtle changes occurred.

Ivan was moved. He had never seen this kind of wooden material before. No wonder the other party dared to say it was a rare item.

"Are they the same?"

“What I have in my hand is cultivated from this kind of larva. The cultivation method is very simple. Any type of energy can be used, whether it is fighting spirit, magic power or mental power, or magic stone, elemental stone, etc.

However, it is best to choose a specific energy as the main energy to cultivate. The higher the quality, the better. This will produce more potential Pantiegen and play a greater role. "Tim added.

A year ago, the wizards of the Ancient Tree Spine accidentally discovered a large number of such tree root larvae and named them "Pan Tie Root". After countless tests, they found that the Pan Tie Root larvae absorbed everything.

As long as it absorbs energy, the Iron Root will grow and lengthen, and it can also shrink after refining.

The cultivated tree roots have only one characteristic, the same as the young ones, which is their extraordinary hardness.

However, the consumption when driving the Pan Tie Root is relatively high, and the reaction speed will be slightly slow.

Tim did not hide anything and laid out all the advantages and disadvantages.

"Isn't this the goods you are going to sell on China Continent?" Ivan suddenly thought of a question.

"I dare not hide it from you, it is true." Tim nodded and emphasized, "The quality of the young Pan Tiegen varies. Yours is definitely the best quality among all the goods, no doubt about it."

Ivan nodded slightly, then reached out and picked up the shriveled tree root from the crystal box and began to examine it carefully.

"What do you think?" Tim asked after a pause.

"Three pieces of Pan Tiegen. In addition to this one, give me two more of ordinary quality." Ivan said.

"Okay, it's a deal."

"It's a word."

Tim hesitated for a few seconds and agreed, then turned around and took out two wooden boxes, handed them all to him, and entrusted the safety of the Ancient Wood airship to him.

After receiving the payment, Ivan would naturally take care of the safety of the airship.

"Consumption and speed are big drawbacks. It's not as attractive as the Wild Beast Heart you used before. When you arrive in China Continent, you can consider selling the Wild Beast Heart as a commodity."

"Thank you for your reminder, Your Excellency. I will arrange accommodation for you right away. I'm sorry to have you stay on the airship for the next few days."

The Gumu is just a small airship with many rooms. However, except for the warehouse, the other rooms are not big. It has everything it needs.

Ivan was a person who could go along with whatever happened, and he gladly accepted the room arranged by the other party.

After Tim left the room, Ivan said to the Silkworm Queen, "Silkworm Queen, did you hear his request?"

"I?"

"I guess quite a few people know about your achievements in Thunder Bluff. You just need to show yourself in battle and walk around the airship from time to time to intimidate the villains around you, and the problem will probably be solved."

Ivan expressed his thoughts and handed over the two ordinary Pan Tiegen larvae, one for the queen silkworm and one for the swamp ant.

Hearing that the request was so simple, the Queen Silkworm took over the Pan Tiegen and agreed without hesitation. However, she also made a request, asking the big black guy to provide support when necessary.

Ivan naturally agreed.
