Farming Tree Spirit

Seeing Rhodes about to plant something, the little thing also ran over happily, waving his little hands constantly and digging the hole quickly.

Not a moment.

A small pit of more than ten centimeters appeared in front of them.

"Be careful, this kind of thing looks easy to break."

This was the first time for Rhodes to see this strange-looking seed.

Under a small oval lantern, there are many tentacle-like roots, like seeds, more like jellyfish.

His intuition told him.

This is no ordinary seed.

At least not at the level of wheat.

Moreover, this thing was sent together with the scroll of undead magic, which made him a little suspicious. It was something from the God of Death, so he was extra careful.

If the plant dies due to acclimatization, wouldn't his reputation as a professional gardener be tarnished?

"Okay...that's it...put another layer of soil underneath...it's crooked, this side should be facing up..."

The two tree spirits, one big and one small, worked hard for a long time and finally planted the seeds successfully.

Then Rhodes hurriedly cast spells to rain on the seeds, and then used cultivation magic and harvest magic in turn, instilling the breath of life into the small raised mound.

The little thing was full of anticipation, squatting next to it and watching closely, for fear of missing the germination time.

However.

Two whole hours passed.

Under Rhode's continuous casting, the seeds did not react at all. Instead, the mutant tree No. 2 next to it grew a few buds.

"It's weird, why didn't you react at all?"

Rhodes scratched his head and glanced at Little Tree No. 2.

Since even it reacts, it means that the shaking M characteristic has taken effect, and there should be more plants around to grab nutrients.

"Don't these things also eat nutrients?"

Oh shit.

Could this world be better?

Why are everyone so weird?

Still say.

The seeds of the God of Death are planted in a different way than in the Dream Woodland?

Thinking about it this way, it seems like...

They are things from the land of death, and they usually absorb death energy. If they are watered with life force, isn't it just like an old man hanging himself, because he thinks he has a long life?

"So that's it, I understand!"

Rhodes suddenly made a sound, startling the little thing next to him, and his little eyes were full of doubts.

Then he saw Rhodes digging out the newly buried seeds by the roots and soil, and hurriedly ran outside the altar, so he could only follow them quickly.

soon.

They came to the junction of the black earth and the altar.

After hesitating for a moment, Rhodes finally made a move and gently placed the soil containing the seeds on top of the black soil.

That’s right!

This is what he came up with.

Although the breath of black earth and the power of death are different, they all have a common characteristic, that is, they will swallow life.

Since this seed belongs to the God of Death, it should be more adaptable to this power, just like the demon clan can resist the black soil.

"Eaaah!"

Just as he was thinking about it, the little thing suddenly exclaimed.

Rhodes lowered his head and looked at the seed again, and was shocked to find that the corrosive energy permeating the black soil was rapidly gathering towards the seed.

Like a tide, it poured crazily into the seed that was only the size of an egg.

"Click——"

There was a crunching sound and the seeds cracked open.

Countless roots emerged and spread in all directions.

The oval shell slowly rises as the rhizome grows, and finally the stamens at the top fully bloom, with brown tentacles hanging down vertically.

It looked like an octopus hanging upside down on a tree. It continued to grow as it absorbed the energy of the black soil, and in an instant it grew into a strange plant as tall as two people.

[Successful planting, gain experience value +4]

"Master Rhodes, what is this?"

Even Augula in the distance was alarmed and ran over in a hurry.

When he saw that the plant could absorb the energy of the black soil, he was even more surprised.

"I don't know either. Just be careful and don't get too close."

Rhodes was no better at this time. After all, he had personally experienced the terror of black soil, and he never expected that something could absorb this energy.

Sure enough, anything related to death cannot be described by common sense.

And as they spoke.

The seeds finally stopped growing.

Under the hanging tentacles, oval lanterns the size of heads slowly grew out, emitting a faint white light.

"This plant is quite beautiful."

The huge contrast made Rhodes unable to help being surprised.

Standing under the plant, there are white lanterns in all directions, illuminating the surrounding land. It is hard to imagine that these are actually newly planted seeds.

"This thing won't explode, right?"

Even though he has lived for more than two hundred years and is well-informed, this is the first time he saw this kind of plant, and he seemed a little worried.

However.

Just as he finished speaking.

Suddenly a beast roar came from the distance.

A huge black bear seemed to smell the breath of life on the altar and ran towards it.

"It's these damn guys again, I'll take care of it!"

Seeing the black beast, Ogula's face darkened, and without saying a word, he directly faced the giant bear and slammed down his huge fist.

Boom——

The whole ground shook.

The first-level black bear was smashed into pulp by him, killing him with one blow without even having time to scream.

"Bah! Little trash."

Augula spitted at the corpse, imitating the human behavior she had seen before, and then turned back to the altar.

But unexpectedly.

At this time, the nearest lantern seemed to sense something, and suddenly stretched out a spiked tentacle from the bottom, stabbed the black bear's body, and then quickly retracted it.

Rhodes was shocked.

His eyes were fixed on the lantern.

Then he saw a very strange scene.

Inside the lantern, a bear-shaped embryo was taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon it became a little black bear that was very similar to the black beast just now.

Just like giving birth, it slid down from under the lantern.

"Pah!"

The black bear cub fell to the ground, covered with mucus, trembling and crawling up, with parasitic twisted roots all over its body.

The weird scene made even Augula and the others on the side widen their eyes and want to rush up to get rid of it.

"Wait a minute!"

Rhodes stopped them and just watched from a distance.

As he expected, the black bear did not attack them. Instead, it seemed to be summoned by something and walked straight out.

And its speed was getting faster and faster. It was not affected by the black soil at all and headed straight for the druid's nest.

"I'll go over and take a look. Augla, you stay and watch the house!"

Throwing down a sentence, Rhode took the little thing and quickly chased after it, hanging far behind the black bear.

In less than ten minutes.

They came to the familiar outskirts of the forest and saw a group of black bears wandering in the distance. There were more than a dozen of them. No wonder they ran to the altar.

However.

Rhode was concerned about the black bear cub.

It was as if it had found an organization and trembled to join the black bear group. The process was natural and there was no intention of being attacked at all.

"Those black beasts actually regarded it as their own kind?"

Rhode, who was hiding behind the stone, was even more surprised. While urging magic power to resist the black soil, he followed from a distance and gradually wandered into the forest.

It was not until they entered a depression that a dozen black bears finally stopped to rest, lying on the ground enjoying the nourishment of the black soil.

When Rhode thought it was over.

Something unexpected happened!

The black bear cub lying in the middle of the herd suddenly swelled up rapidly, and exploded with a "bang", turning into countless lantern seeds that took root in the black beasts.

In an instant.

The depression was filled with screams.

The corrosive energy on the black beasts was devoured crazily, and they turned into corpses all over the ground in a struggle.

Then, under Rhode's horrified gaze.

Familiar lantern plants slowly grew from their corpses, and in a blink of an eye, the entire depression was covered with white light.
