Farming Tree Spirit

Mountain giant.

Just by hearing the name, you can tell that it is the result of mountains.

And there are many types of mountains, including rock mountains, mud mountains, mines, volcanoes, water mountains... Well, Rhodes can't make it up anymore.

Because he really didn't expect that the mountain giant could evolve into a volcano.

Even though the baby mountain giant in front of him had just been born, he couldn't even reach his knees.

If you can grow up, you will definitely be able to transform into a mountain. A body is an ecosystem.

Since it is an ecological circle, various elements must be indispensable, which explains why the crystal tree can absorb elemental ores.

I guess this little red guy will do it later.

Will it turn into a majestic volcano?

Rhodes reached out and touched the little guy's head. It felt hot. It was already very warm just after birth. It seemed that an area would have to be opened for them to live in the future.

Anyway, the mountain giants can sleep for tens or even hundreds of years wherever they lie down. They can live in any place, as long as they have enough rocks to eat.

Think of this.

Rhodes' arm shook.

He piled all the elemental ores he had brought back around the crystal tree, and as he expected, he began to slowly absorb them.

"Good stuff."

Rhodes also didn't expect that those elemental ores would actually be useful.

When he thought that there were countless ores in the dragon's nest, he felt very good and made up his mind to dig more ores next time he went there.

Even if the mountain giants can't eat them all, they can still be piled up and decorated around the altar. They are so colorful and beautiful, and can also be used as a breeding ground for elemental elves.

After all, the living environment is too poor, and the elemental elves' desire to have children will also be affected.

How can he realize his woodland revitalization plan when he has fewer children?

So we have to start from the house we live in. Whoever has more children can live in a better big house.

"Um?"

"No, why does it seem weird?"

Isn’t this crazy guy the same guy who had no money to buy a house in his previous life? ?

Black Heart Capital is actually me?

Rhodes couldn't laugh or cry, and realized that he really had the potential to be the boss of a black-hearted mine.

After checking the crystal tree again, he returned to the altar. Together with the little things, he took root next to the Moon Well and hung up to gain experience.

…

Somewhere in the black earth.

The edge of a black water river.

After three days of traveling, the team coming out of the New Moon Gathering Area had now crossed the Jedi Land and arrived at the plain on the other side of the black soil.

Because they were escorted by strong men from the Giant Tree Alliance, their personnel losses were not serious, but they just looked a little tired.

"Sir, how long until we reach our destination?"

At the front of the team, a human looked at a stooped old man next to him and asked.

This old man is the leader of the Giant Tree Alliance team, and his strength is somewhat stronger than that of the leader of Crescent City.

Seeing someone asking, the corner of his wrinkled mouth raised an ugly smile: "We're already here."

arrive?

Where?

Everyone looked at each other and looked around.

But no matter how they searched, they didn't see the rumored large-scale gathering place that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. There were just black roots scattered everywhere, like black snakes swimming on the ground.

And as they moved forward, there were more and more roots, and they were getting bigger and bigger, almost reaching the height of a person later.

"A bunch of rednecks."

At this time, a sneer came.

The necromancer not far away showed his withered face under his hood and pointed at the root in front of him.

"This is the symbol of the Giant Tree Alliance!"

As his words fell, the teams of all races subconsciously raised their heads and looked along the roots towards the end.

Vaguely.

A huge black shadow appeared on the horizon, like a crawling beast, rising slowly as they approached.

The surrounding roots spread out from the black shadow, intertwining into an intricate network on the entire black earth.

"This is... a city?"

"No, it's not a city!"

"It's a tree! A tree bigger than the city!"

"Oh my God! It's really a tree!"

In an instant, there were shouts of exclamation.

Everyone looked at the slowly appearing silhouette in the distance in astonishment.

It was an unimaginably huge tree, as if it had been cut down by something, leaving only the trunk foundation at the bottom and a large gathering place built on top!

"This is...the Giant Tree Alliance?"

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock, and finally understood what the "giant tree" of the Giant Tree Alliance meant.

The only thing that was a little strange was that it was very quiet.

Only a sparse group passed by along the way, each of them looking yellow and thin, with dull eyes as if they had lost their souls.

But compared to Crescent Canyon, this place is much better!

Let them be excited and happy at the same time, happy that they made the right choice.

"You have also seen that our Giant Tree Alliance is built on this giant tree. It can not only isolate the black soil to the greatest extent, but also has natural protection. As long as you make enough contributions, you can obtain the right to live in it."

The leader's voice echoed through the entire team, like an introduction, but it also made everyone stunned.

"Right of residence? Can't we still live in it?" Someone immediately spoke first, asking everyone's doubts.

"What a joke."

The necromancer sneered: "We spent a huge amount of money to build this gathering place. If you want to live here, you must pay contributions every month. But you don't have to worry. Our requirements are not harsh. We just want to maintain order better."

Sure enough.

There is no free lunch in the world.

Everyone suddenly realized that the Giant Tree Alliance would not be so kind and come all the way to recruit them.

Since they have come here, they are naturally prepared and asked again: "Sir, how can we get the contributions you just mentioned?"

As soon as this was said.

All eyes looked over here.

The necromancer smiled: "The easiest way is to hand in the Moon God Stone, the more the better, or perform various tasks assigned by the Alliance. As for the rest...you don't need to know now."

A ray of light flashed in the necromancer's eyes.

"I see."

Everyone suddenly realized and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it.

As long as they can live here, it's acceptable to pay a little price, which is better than their previous fears.

Only the leaders of the small tribes looked calm and looked at each other.

Others don't know, but they know the preciousness of the Moon God Stone.

Not only can the energy contained in it be used to replace magic power, but it also has the effect of consolidating the soul. It can be regarded as the unified currency on the black soil, almost equivalent to food.

Why does the Giant Tree Alliance want so many Moon God Stones?

Is it just to make money?

And the residents here.

It seems that they don't have enough food and warm clothes as they imagined, which makes them puzzled.

And in all kinds of doubts, the team quickly passed through many levels and entered the Giant Tree Alliance.

Wait until it completely disappeared.

Not far behind them, a figure hidden in the darkness slowly appeared.

After taking a look at the lifeless giant tree, he flashed away and rushed back to the direction of the Death Forest.

...

"How is it? Is the collection process going smoothly?"

Somewhere in the Giant Tree Alliance.

In a solemn and simple building.

A middle-aged man with a stern face stood by the window, watching the foreign teams passing by below.

"Yes, except for a few who are unwilling to move, we have basically gathered all the surrounding gathering places."

The subordinate who came to report said in a low voice.

"Well done."

The man hummed: "As long as we have living soil, we can attract more people. Then..."

"But other tribes have also taken action recently, and seem to be investigating things related to living soil." The subordinate was obviously a little worried.

The entire Giant Tree Alliance is complicated and not as glamorous as it seems on the surface.

Even among the human race, they are not united and can fight each other for resources.

"Don't worry, I have my own way. You just need to collect more Moon God Stones and gather people."

Living soil.

It is a kind of uncontaminated soil they recently discovered, which can be used to grow many crops.

And food is the most precious material in the entire black soil world.

As long as they control food, they are equivalent to controlling people's hearts. Why worry about their plan failing?

Thinking of this, the man changed the subject: "Send more people to search for the Moon God Stone outside, and ask the demons and the undead to act faster. If it doesn't work, issue a bounty and let those fearless adventurers help."

"Understood."

"Also, our people just sent back news that they found a plant that can grow on black soil in the Death Forest. Send someone to investigate the source."

"Yes!"

The subordinate responded and left in a hurry.

The whole building fell into silence again.

At the same time.

Similar news also spread in the Giant Tree Alliance, triggering heated discussions among the residents in the city.

"Really? Plants that can grow on black soil?"

"I'm more concerned about whether they can be eaten?"

"It would be great if they can be eaten. I haven't had a full meal for many days."

"No, didn't you just exchange a child with the Centaurs some time ago?"

"Brother, your joke is too hellish."

"Hahaha..."

The creepy topic and the hearty laughter echoed in the dark corners of the street.

For them, this kind of thing has long been accustomed to it, and it will not cause too many emotional fluctuations. To put it bluntly, they are completely numb.

No one can see a trace of spirit in their eyes, and they are basically missing limbs.

Only when looking at those foreign tribes, a trace of greed flashed in their eyes, just like looking at a moving piece of meat.

In comparison.

Those adventurers who are strong and capable of going out are slightly more decent.

At least they can exchange some food with their contributions to ensure that they will not starve to death, but that's all.

In order to survive.

They can only risk stepping into the black soil.

To seek that slim chance of survival.

Look.

Today, many adventure teams have received the task of exploring the Death Forest.

It is rumored that the Death Forest is a very dangerous place, and even a Level 5 warrior may not be able to escape unscathed.

Previously, a Level 5 warrior went there out of despair, but he didn't even enter the forest, and his body was so old that only half of it remained.

The day after he escaped, his wife ran away with someone else and took away half of his contribution.

But even so, several teams still chose to take the risk.

Because the contributions given are too many!

"So...why do we want to take this mission?"

On top of the giant rhizome outside the city.

A team of five people gathered together. The four members looked at their captain with confused expressions and the mission certificate of "exploring the forest of death" in his hand.

"Well, I saw that the contribution was a lot, so I accepted it."

The captain is a human warrior wearing armor. He looks 27 or 27 and looks confident.

The two girls, the human mage and the dark elf ranger, rolled their eyes and almost couldn't help but kick him down.

As for the orcs and dwarves next to them, their eyes were shining as they stared at the voucher.

"Contribution a lot? How much?"

"You should be able to exchange for a lot of food, right?"

"..."

Eat eat eat, you know how to eat.

Don't you consider the danger?

Forest of death!

That is the famous Forest of Death!

Just a few of them, novices who haven't reached the third level yet, don't know who will eat whom.

"Oh, forget it."

The mage girl slapped her face with a slap in the face and said, "I accepted all the offers. If you give up, you will be charged liquidated damages. Just go over there and have a look. I hope it will look better when you turn into black animal excrement..."

In this way, the group of five people finally set off.

The strange team configuration attracted the attention of passers-by.

Especially the dark elves, I'm afraid there aren't even a few of them in the entire Giant Tree Alliance.
