Farming Tree Spirit

A writer named Lu once said.

The evolution of life is characterized by mutation and uncertainty.

For example, if you mutate into a skin with powerful sweat glands in the Cold Era, you will be regarded as an alien by your own race and driven away.

As a result, the high temperature era came and those companions died, but you mutated and survived because you adapted to the environment.

Although Rhodes doesn't know much about species evolution and natural selection, he does know this principle. Maybe there are a few people in the black soil world who can adapt to the black soil and survive due to individual mutations?

If they are found.

Maybe we can find a way to resist the black soil.

"Let's go and catch up and have a look."

Seeing the figure fleeing the canyon, Rhodes made a quick decision and hurriedly followed with the little thing.

And as he got closer, he finally saw the other party's appearance clearly. It was a devil with a ghost face and ram's horns!

Hiss~

Do you even have this thing?

Aren't demons supposed to come from the abyss of hell?

Why did it appear in the Dream Forest?

Lord Luna, you really accept all species.

Rhodes took a deep breath and slowed down his steps.

As a result, because of this pause, he was unable to catch up with the opponent's speed, and disappeared into the darkness with a "whoosh".

"roar!!"

At this time.

The black beast at the bottom of the canyon seemed to finally realize that something had been stolen, and there was a deafening roar.

The terrifying power was like a chain reaction, causing the entire canyon to shake violently inside and outside, as if something was about to rush out.

"Sorry, get out of here first!"

Rhodes' expression changed and he turned around and ran away without hesitation.

In order to speed up, he even took out the treasured moon spring and drank it in one gulp, using all his magic power to speed up his escape.

Rumble——

A sound like an earthquake.

With the canyon as the center, it spreads in all directions.

Rhodes didn't need to think about it. It was because the black beasts' sacrifices were interrupted and they all ran out of the canyon.

"What did that guy steal? He made such a big fuss."

Share it with me at least!

Rhodes almost rushed forward and shouted these words.

To be able to attract so many black beasts to chase him, that stone with its emerald luster must be something special. It might be a treasure left by the druids, and he could change his job to a druid or something like that with a "ding".

If that were the case.

Then he had to find a way to get one of them, after all, he was very envious of the druid's various forms.

"Eaaah!"

Suddenly, a warning sound came from the little thing above.

Rhodes, who was running, turned around subconsciously and saw two crows flying towards him with air superiority, apparently having discovered his presence.

[Corrupted Druid (Raven Form) lv5]

[Corrupted Druid (Raven Form) lv6]

Pooh!

Little Karami.

I was a newbie before when I was considered a tree master, and two of them dared to come and block the way.

Seeing that it was the raven black beast that he had encountered before, Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. Having reached level 8, he no longer took these peripheral monsters seriously.

However, in order to prevent other black beasts from chasing him, he did not stop, but stretched out his arms while running wildly, and two magic circles quickly gathered on his palms.

Boom——

There was a loud bang.

Vines as thick as arms soared into the sky.

The raven, which had just caught up less than ten meters behind them, was directly penetrated by the vines through the chest, and its body disappeared instantly.

The little thing jumped up to a nearby tree trunk with a short spear on his back, suddenly used the force to leap high, and directly drove away the head of the remaining raven with a piercing blow.

With a small hand, he collected the two fallen soul fragments and turned them over to fall back on Rhodes.

"Well done!"

Rhodes took the soul fragment and sped up again. After a while, he rushed out of the forest along the original route, leaving the group of crazy black beasts far behind.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

After arriving outside the forest, Rhodes felt that the movement behind him became much smaller, and no other black beasts were chasing him. It was like the beasts had territorial awareness and would not easily leave the nest range too far.

Or go after the guy who stole things.

This is undoubtedly good news for him.

So I simply didn't rush back. With the remaining supplies, I started wandering around the outskirts of the forest, specifically looking for lone black beasts.

…

other side.

The ghost-faced demon that had just escaped from the druid's lair did not seem to be afraid of the erosion of the black soil, and relied on its dexterity to move quickly through the forest.

It didn't take long.

Then he threw the chasing black beast far away.

Just like this, they kept walking and stopping, avoiding danger, and walked for dozens of kilometers before finally leaving the forest and entering a volcanic area.

After confirming that there were no pursuers behind him, he passed by the gushing ground fire and plunged into a hidden cave.

"Aina, are you back?"

As soon as they arrived inside the cave, several figures hurriedly greeted them.

"I have met Her Royal Highness."

"Your Highness, are you not injured?"

"You shouldn't have gone out alone."

"It's too dangerous to do this!"

The sound of chirping was endless, and in an instant the entrance to the cave was surrounded by water.

I saw skinny low-level demons standing nearby with their wings stretched out, their eyes full of concern and worry.

"I'm fine, I made everyone worried."

A soft voice sounded, and the demon-faced demon surrounded in the middle took off his mask, revealing a slightly haggard and delicate face, and the proud figure originally shrouded in black fog also appeared.

The purple wings behind her, symbolizing the demon royal family, all showed her identity.

It was the 78th princess of the demon clan, Aina Lucifer!

However.

At this moment, Aina.

But she didn't look like a princess.

Even the tribe members and subordinates around her were full of sorrow, and it was completely impossible to tell that she was a demon clan known for its fierceness and violence in the legend.

It was not until Aina took out a stone with emerald light from her arms that a large number of exclamations were heard in the cave.

"Moon God Stone!"

"Your Highness, you actually got the Moon God Stone?"

"Great! Now we can survive the next black moon again!"

"Lord Demon!"

In a blink of an eye.

Cheers resounded throughout the cave.

More and more demons received the news and rushed from the depths of the cave. Without exception, they were all skinny and those who didn't know thought they had come to a refugee camp.

Only a few high-level demons like Aina who mastered magic could barely maintain their dignity, but it was not much better.

"By the way, how are Lar and the others?"

Aina asked after handing the Moon God Stone to her subordinates.

As a result, when this was said, everyone was silent, and the surroundings instantly fell into a strange silence.

Several of them opened their mouths to say something, but eventually retracted them, with sadness in their eyes.

After a long time.

Only then did a hunchbacked old man tremble and walk out, saying: "They... died, starved to death."

Just a few words, the surroundings quieted down again.

Every demon had an indissoluble gloom on his face, and a little relief, and his expression was very complicated.

Aina pursed her lips and squeezed out a far-fetched smile.

"It's better to die, just die, it's better than suffering here all the time."

"..."

Maybe for them.

Death is a kind of relief.

Especially in this black land that eats people.
