Farming Tree Spirit

"Strange, why doesn't it grow longer?"

Beside the altar.

Rhodes looked at the branch stuck in the soil in confusion.

From the time of planting until now, he has been casting cultivation magic continuously for more than two hours. Even if the recovery time is removed, there should be some reaction.

But this branch is good.

Nothing has changed at all.

"Is my transplanting posture wrong?"

Rhodes thought about the growth characteristics of the mutated sapling. The more plants around it, the faster it grows. He immediately planted another branch next to the plantation to conduct a control experiment.

then.

Another two hours of non-stop casting.

But the final result was exactly the same as the first one. Not to mention the roots growing, a lot of the leaves remaining on it had fallen off, and the rest began to slowly turn yellow.

Later he tried grafting with other plants.

All failed without exception.

"What went wrong."

Rhodes scratched his head and thought about the problem.

Ordinary plants, such as the oak tree that is already more than two meters high, can of course be transplanted, but its effect in dispersing black soil is too weak, and it is not as good as the mutated small tree.

But in order to find the problem, he cut off a few ordinary oak branches and planted them in the same way.

As a result, just two hours after the spell was applied, buds actually grew on one side of the branch, and tiny roots stretched out from the bottom.

"Good guy, I found the reason!"

Rhodes turned back and looked at the mutated saplings in the plantation.

After he has been working for so long, the branches of this thing cannot be planted.

"I don't believe it anymore. There is something else I can't grow!"

When his stubborn temper grew, Rhodes not only did not give up, but actually became more serious.

As a professional gardener.

The messenger of the moon (self-proclaimed) in charge of the woodland.

How can you admit defeat in the face of this difficulty?

If he encountered plants that were more difficult to grow alive in the future, wouldn't he have to give up all of them?

That's not his style.

"Today you must germinate for me!"

Rhodes said viciously to the branch stuck in the ground.

Just like in the Baozong novel, after the president went to the toilet, he stared at the toilet with a cold, domineering and emotionless look, and ordered: "Flush yourself down!"

Mutated small tree:...

Nervous!

I have to say that Rhodes is a bit funny.

Even the soul raven beside him couldn't stand it anymore, so he left him behind and flew back to the branch to continue absorbing the essence of the moon.

On the contrary, the little thing was still very interested and kept spinning around, as if planting plants was a very great and sacred thing to it.

Seeing Rhodes turning around and returning to the altar, it also followed happily.

But how could it know?

Rhodes is on top.

Just like when you couldn't draw SR with dead draw.

Get a few drops of precious spring water directly from the Moon Well, then turn it back and drip it on one of the branches.

Originally it was just a move to treat a dead horse as a living horse.

Unexpectedly.

The branches really responded.

After absorbing the Moon Spring, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared, wildly devouring the energy of the surrounding land, and the water within the entire two-meter range gathered here.

"What's going on?"

"Eaaah!"

Rhodes was shocked.

He quickly mobilized his magic power, raised his hand and cast a rainfall spell, and then cast cultivation magic on the land.

The little thing quickly ran away in panic and watched from a distance.

However, even with the energy support of the Moon Fountain and the continuous influx of life breath, it cannot completely fill this suction gap.

Not a moment.

Rhodes' magic power was completely drained.

Casting had to be interrupted.

Just when he thought he was about to fail again, the branches miraculously began to change.

It didn't take root as he imagined, but gradually grew in size and slowly turned into a small tree man half a meter tall.

[Woodland Guardian: The unnaturally bred tree spirit cannot give birth to autonomous consciousness due to lack of soul power, and will follow instinct to protect the dream forest. 】

ah?

Rhodes was completely stunned.

He looked at the cute little tree man in front of him in astonishment.

no.

What about taking root and sprouting as promised?

Why did you come up with this weird thing again?

At this time, the little thing also came over, looking at this strange face curiously, as if wondering why such a thing could be grown on a tree branch.

Because compared to Rhodes, a demonized tree spirit who looks like a genetic mutation, and his bare oak head, the forest guardian is more like a tree spirit.

The whole body is covered with branches and leaves, which looks luxuriant.

This wasn't what surprised Rhodes the most.

After all, it's not like he has never seen strange things before, such as the soul raven and elemental elves before.

But here's the thing.

These two strange things were born naturally, but the miniature tree man in front of him was created by him himself!

Natural birth and man-made creation are fundamentally two different concepts.

Especially when he saw this little tree man, a ridiculous idea came to Rhodes' mind.

that is.

Is there a possibility.

The Moon God was just like him at the beginning. He accidentally created a few little tree people during the planting process, and then the tree spirits came into being?

"Well, that's a good guess."

Rhodes nodded matter-of-factly, feeling that he was really smart. He cracked the secret of the birth of the tree spirit clan in one go. Is this going to be recorded in the annals of history?

Of course.

This was just his wild guess.

The little tree man in front of him didn't even have a soul, and he couldn't be considered a tree spirit. At most, he could only be considered a natural creature with a humanoid form.

To put it bluntly.

It was a summoned creature.

He summoned it by cultivating branches to protect the dream forest.

"Ah!"

As the little thing ran away in panic.

The forest guardian really moved, went straight to the newly opened wheat field, and cast magic on the wheat seedlings.

Two life breaths like green leaf phantoms floated out and slowly injected into the wheat seedlings.

The wheat seedlings, which were originally a little sick, quickly regained vitality and stood up again!

Rhodes felt it.

Although it was only the lowest level of magic, it could improve the growth state of plants and replenish their life energy, so it was not useless.

But the fact that the branches didn't sprout still made him a little worried.

"Could it be that the Moon Spring was not put in enough?"

Recalling the huge energy gap just now.

Rhode hardened his heart and hurried over to move another branch to an open area to prevent the surrounding plants from being drained by it.

Then he turned back to get the Moon Spring Water.

And he took a large bucket at a time.

All poured on the newly buried branch.

The next second.

The powerful suction appeared again.

It was even more terrifying than the last time, and the range directly expanded to five meters.

If Rhode had not taken precautions in advance, the surrounding plants would probably have been sucked dry by it.

Dare not be careless.

He quickly retreated five meters away and cast cultivation magic on the branch.

With the blessing of ten times the growth rate, the small tree branch finally had a new change.

It no longer became a forest guardian, but grew several protrusions from the side, and then the protrusions cracked and bloomed two new green leaves.

"Success!"

This scene surprised Rhode.

He worked harder to infuse magic into the branches and the land.

Gradually.

The suction disappeared.

As if it was full, it began to grow roots to the side, and new leaves replaced old leaves, and in a blink of an eye it became a smaller version of a mutant tree.

As expected.

The surrounding black soil began to slowly fade.

It was forced back two meters away by the vitality of the small tree.

Although it was not much, Rhodes knew that this range would gradually expand as the small tree grew, until it grew into a towering tree covering a hundred meters in radius!

"I really have the talent to be a gardener."

Rhodes laughed proudly.

Who said that branches can't sprout?

There is nothing in this world that he can't plant!

"Yaa!"

At this time, the little thing hiding in the distance also ran over quickly, circling around the newborn tree in joy, as if it was the one who planted the tree.

Rhodes smiled and looked at it: "This thing is very precious, I have to protect it well in the future."

How can it not be precious?

A whole bucket of Moon Spring Water was used.

Rhodes felt a pain in his flesh just thinking about it.

It seems that if we want to plant the branches of the mutant tree all around the altar and disperse the black soil, we have to increase the output of the Moon Spring.

Otherwise, no matter how much spring water there is, it will not be enough.

And now there is not enough wood.

I have to go out and get some more, build a fence for the little tree No. 2, and plant something around it.

He also plans to go to the Black Forest to see if he can get another piece of the druid's soul fragment.

"Let's go after the upgrade."

While muttering, Rhodes called out the information panel.
