Farming Tree Spirit

The whole day.

Rhodes spent it exploring the surrounding environment.

The method he used was very simple.

He set off in a designated direction, and returned to the altar when his magic power was almost exhausted. When it recovered, he changed directions to continue exploring.

With this method, he almost figured out the general situation of the five kilometers around the altar and became familiar with the terrain.

In addition to the ancient tree at the beginning.

They also encountered several attacks by black beasts.

There were cheetahs, bears, and flower monsters, but they were not too strong. They were all solved one by one, which temporarily eliminated the hidden dangers around the altar.

"Let's go, go back."

Seeing that the sky was getting dark.

Rhodes didn't dare to stay outside any longer, and hurried back to the altar with the remaining magic power.

Because he found that.

Every night, the breath of the black soil would become more violent, and the speed of devouring vitality would be much faster.

Even if he had the magic recovery effect of the wreath, he couldn't hold on for long.

Not to mention the little thing.

It was just a little late, but it looked a little listless. It took a few fruits to slowly recover and return to its own pit to take root and recover.

But I have to say.

The little thing is worthy of being a guardian of the tree spirit.

After several battles, after devouring the energy of those corpses, the momentum of the whole body has become much stronger, and it has grown a little taller than before.

The only thing that has not changed.

Is Rhode himself.

After working hard for a long time, not to mention no harvest, not even a little experience.

Using cultivation magic to assist does not increase experience!

So the gardener is not worthy of fighting?

"No, I have to learn an attack magic."

"If you don't give it to me, I'll give up!"

At this point, Rhode can only hope for daily routine prayers, and the tree god mark obtained today, I wonder if it can be exchanged for some rewards.

After all, he risked his life to go outside to help his fellow tribe collect corpses. It would be unreasonable not to show some expression, right?

Back to the altar.

Rhode looked at the surrounding layout.

There are four statues in total, located in the four corners of the altar.

Two of them were corroded so badly that they were unrecognizable. The remaining two could be vaguely distinguished as the limbs of an animal and the roots of a giant tree.

He had a feeling that the black soil outside did not invade the interior of the altar because of the existence of these statues, even though only the bases of these statues were left.

"The demigod statues... should they be the ones you are talking about?"

Rhodes came to the tree-shaped statue while muttering.

After observing for a while, he finally slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on the base of the statue.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Boom——

A circle of green ripples spread out.

Rhodes was forced to close his eyes subconsciously and put one hand in front of him.

The base of the statue, which was entangled with thick roots, suddenly burst into a dazzling brilliance, rushing straight into the sky, as if to break through the chaotic darkness.

Then.

Leaves fell all over the sky.

The shadow of a vast and boundless giant tree stood tall between heaven and earth, like a blooming giant umbrella.

But the scene came and went quickly.

In just a few breaths, it turned into countless light spots and quickly dissipated, and finally only the shadow of the tree bud floating above the statue was left, flickering.

"It's... gone?"

After waiting for a while without any movement, Rhodes finally reacted and moved to the tree bud to look left and right.

The little thing that was recovering in the distance was also awakened by the grand scene just now, hiding behind a stone and watching secretly, like a curious baby.

It was not until then that Rhodes noticed.

The black soil around the altar actually disappeared!

From the original close to the edge of the altar, it retreated ten meters away, as if forming an invisible protective circle.

What surprised him even more was.

The plants that had been planted before, without the suppression of the black soil, actually grew a lot taller, and even the seeds that he had killed were reborn, taking root and sprouting, and messages kept popping up.

[Planting successful, experience +2]

[Planting successful, experience +2]

[Planting successful...]

[Experience: 21/40]

In a blink of an eye, Rhodes gained more than a dozen experience points, and was only halfway to reaching level 5.

Suppress the black soil and bring the seeds back to life.

Such a strong vitality instantly reminded Rhodes of the legendary existence, the totem of all natural creatures, the Tree of Life!

So.

This demigod statue.

Is the sacrifice actually to the Tree of Life?

No wonder the mark is called the Tree God Mark, it really deserves the title of Tree God.

And there are four such statues on the altar.

In other words.

There are four demigods under the Moon God!

Since the Moon God disappeared, why didn't the four demigods come to manage the Dream Forest?

Did they disappear with the Moon God?

Or was it for other reasons?

Rhodes had more and more doubts in his heart.

Throwing such a mess to a little tree spirit, could it be that he encountered a trap?

"Ah!"

Just thinking about it.

The little thing screamed.

Rhode looked in the direction of the sound and was surprised to find that a blood-red thorny vine had grown on the edge of the originally empty altar.

One of them even stretched into the altar and was entangled with the little thing's short spear weapon, pulling it back and forth.

The little thing obviously didn't expect that there would be bad guys trying to steal its weapon. It shouted loudly and threw stones at the vine, looking very angry.

But no matter how hard it tried, it still couldn't get the short spear back, and the two sides were deadlocked.

This surprised Rhodes.

You know, the little thing is small, but it has great strength.

Except for the three tall trees, other plants are basically not enough for it to fight, but it didn't expect to be defeated by this strange vine.

"Isn't that the place where the thorn ball seeds are planted?"

"Can it really sprout?"

Soon, Rhodes remembered the source of the vine.

It was the seed that he had pulled from the dragon blood vine staff before.

Unexpectedly, under the blessing of the tree god mark, it also sprouted, and grew several three- or four-meter-long vines.

He thought it was a seed of chestnut or cocklebur, but it turned out to be the same as the staff itself, also dragon blood vine.

I don't know how long this plant can grow.

Maybe we can make a fence around the altar.

Rhodes walked over while thinking and reached out to help.

As if sensing something, the vine that was unwilling to let go suddenly loosened and retreated outside the altar.

The little thing that regained its weapon ran away quickly, and while running, it did not forget to turn back and babbled at the dragon blood vine, as if scolding it the most unpleasant words, that is, it dared not get closer.

Little coward.

Rhodes didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was a little surprised at the same time.

Could it be that this vine has born intelligence?

However, he soon found out that he was wrong.

Those vines just grew by instinct.

The reason why the little thing's short spear was entangled was that it was just a little bit curious and poked the rhizome of the vine to see what the new thing was. Pure curiosity killed the cat.

In other words.

This vine plant has a sense of counterattack.

Just like those Venus flytraps and lantern plants.

The reason why it didn't hurt Rhodes was probably because he had cultivated it during this period of time, making the dragon blood vine familiar with the magic aura on his body.

As expected.

When Rhodes reached out and touched the vine, it did not trigger the vine's binding counterattack, just like an ordinary plant.

"Good stuff."

"Now we have the fence for the plantation and the altar."
