Farming Tree Spirit

"Dragon God Seal!"

Seeing the dim light in the distance, Rhodes and Alpha were overjoyed. The Dragon God really left his power here.

They immediately accelerated and flew towards the giant dragon statue standing in the middle of the lake.

However.

Before they could get close.

The lake below suddenly rumbled, and huge waves exploded.

A terrifying giant mouth full of sharp teeth rushed out of the water and bit Alpha's wings fiercely.

"Be careful!"

"Lord Rhodes!"

In an instant, exclamations were heard everywhere.

Rhodes and Alpha were also shocked.

Because what appeared below them was a seventh-level black beast, the second seventh-level water dragon!

"Ah——"

Alpha roared, and half of his wings were bitten fiercely.

Rhodes on his back swung and hit the giant dragon statue in the center of the lake, but he was not injured.

When he turned around, he found that Alpha had broken free from the black beast's mouth. The blazing flames turned into meteorites that fell into the lake, causing a huge wave.

"Lord, go get the mark! I'll hold it back!"

Alpha shouted without looking back, biting the bottle of Moon Fountain into pieces.

Then he spread his wings, and with a buzz, a red magic circle covering the entire sky appeared, dyeing the sky and the water red.

Forbidden spell: Red Lotus Purgatory!

In an instant, the temperature above the entire Moon Bay rose sharply, and the black water lake below began to boil.

"Die!"

The Purgatory Fire, which contained all of Alpha's power, exploded directly in the lake.

Rhodes, who had just taken off the Dragon God's mark, saw a huge figure burned by flames rushing out of the water, and then rolling back into the water.

The huge wave almost submerged the dragon statue where he was, and he was so scared that he quickly climbed to the highest point.

"Is this Alpha's fire forbidden spell?"

He had heard Alpha say before that he knew a sixth-level forbidden spell.

I didn't expect it to be so terrifying that it could even burn the black beast in the water, and it was a seventh-level one!

However.

His shock only lasted for a moment.

A lot of roaring and roaring sounds came from the forest in the distance, and countless black beasts who heard the noise were gathering here quickly.

Even the water was rolling violently, and it was obvious that the seventh-level black beast was not so easy to die.

"Go!"

Alpha landed on the statue with a bang.

Perhaps because of the excessive consumption of power, his soul body was a little dim and looked like it was about to dissipate.

Take Rhodes with him and fly towards the shore without looking back.

"Retreat!"

Seeing this, Augura and the others who were entangled with the water dragon also evacuated urgently, taking the sacred tree seedlings hidden by Rhodes and hurriedly fled to the distant forest.

The water dragon that broke free wanted to catch up, but it could no longer sense their breath. It could only roar angrily to the sky, causing the entire area around the Holy Mountain of Elements to vibrate.

At this time.

Outside the Holy Mountain of Elements.

On the endless black soil plain.

Because the location of the meteorite was made public in Crescent City, the adventure teams that gathered here also felt the movement from the Death Forest and raised their heads.

"Look! What is that?"

A cry came from the crowd.

The teams scattered all over the plain stopped and looked into the depths of the Holy Mountain of Elements.

Above the sky, a raging flame erupted, accompanied by a terrifying dragon roar.

Even though they were not sure how far away they were, they could feel the air vibrating, and the flames around them became thicker, causing their faces to change.

"What a terrifying fire breath!"

"This must be at least level 6 magic."

"More than that! Level 6 can't reach this level."

"What on earth happened there?"

"It looks like the deepest part of the ore area!"

There were exclamations everywhere, and everyone was frightened by this sudden change. They thought it was a monster rushing out, and they were ready to escape at any time.

Then.

Another earth-shaking roar sounded.

The black soil outside the entire ore area became agitated.

"Level 7!"

"This is definitely a level 7 black beast!"

"Someone is fighting a level 7 black beast!"

There was an uproar on the plain, and everyone looked at the direction deep in the Elemental Holy Mountain in great horror.

There really is a level 7 black beast in this Death Forest.

What kind of person is fighting a level 7 black beast?

How terrifying strength does it take to do this!

Some of the timid ones no longer dared to stay nearby, and fled with the team in a hurry.

Some of the brave ones stayed where they were, looking for meteorites while inquiring about the situation, and asked someone to pass the news back.

After all, the news of the appearance of the seventh-level black beast was too significant for them, and they could not be careless.

…

On the other side, deep in the forest.

Rhodes and his companions, who had escaped from the Moon Lake, were now dozens of kilometers away, looking at the direction where the roar came from with lingering fear.

“Fortunately, fortunately, we finally escaped.”

“It seems that they are not chasing us.”

“This seventh-level black beast is too strong, I almost couldn’t hold on just now.”

“Is everyone okay?”

In this battle, each of them consumed a huge amount of energy, and almost used all their best skills.

Especially Alpha, who even used the forbidden curse in the end, was able to block the attack of the seventh-level black beast. He is truly a monster with a legendary name.

What they didn't expect was that there would be a second seventh-order black beast in Moon Lake. Their existence was clearly not felt when they were inspecting it before.

"I feel like it's guarding something. During the battle just now, it was lingering in the middle of the lake and unwilling to leave, so it gave me the opportunity to cast the forbidden spell."

Alpha spoke thoughtfully while recovering from his injuries.

"It means there might be something hidden in the water?" Augula and the others looked over.

"I think it's very possible." Alpha said in a low voice, "Otherwise, it would be too strange to not attract it despite such a big movement on the shore."

"That's what I feel." Rhodes recalled the scene just now, "It is not an ordinary thing that can be guarded by a seventh-order black beast. Let's go and see it when we have a chance in the future. Maybe it is a legacy of the giant dragon clan. There’s no telling what’s there.”

"good."

Alpha didn't say much.

For him, getting the Dragon God's Mark is the most important thing.

Now he just wants to go back and repair the statue and see if he can contact his tribe.

So soon, they recovered and headed back in the direction they came from.

Because the black beasts along the way had been cleared away, they could say that there was no obstruction and they quickly returned to the altar.

As soon as they entered the area of ​​the altar, they saw Little Thing and Kaba patrolling back and forth around the edge of the forest with serious faces.

When he saw them coming back, he cheered and ran over.

"Very well, you two did a great job, this is your reward."

Rhodes smiled, took out two black fruits from the ring, and gave one to each of them as a reward.

"Eaaah!"

"Ho~"

The little thing and Kaba held the black fruits and jumped up and down happily, as if they had accomplished a great feat.

After they walked away, Rhodes took out the prepared Moon Fountain and handed it to Augula and Erin's tribe.

"You guys came here to help after hard work today. Let's all take a good rest and recover first."

"This is what we should do."

"It's just a small job."

"Then let's go back and recover first."

The three people happily took the bottle, said goodbye and left in a hurry, their souls disappearing and returning to their true bodies.

Rhodes, surrounded by Augula and the others, came to the statue of the Dragon God, and everyone was nervous.

"It's about to begin."

Rhodes reminded him, then slowly stretched out his hand and touched the base of the statue.

Augula, Erin and Alpha held their breath, staring closely at his arm and the statue, as if time had stood still.

The next second.

A wave of energy spread out.

Unlike any time before, this energy was actually black, the same color as black soil.

"Why is it black? Could it be that the black soil was made by the Dragon God? Is the Dragon God the mastermind behind it?" Ogola poked Alpha next to him.

"You can shut up if you don't know how to speak." Alpha glanced at him, "The Dragon God controls the dark element. Is it so strange? And how is this breath similar to black earth?"

As he said, it was also the strangest thing about Rhodes.

The power of the Dragon God is really different from that of Kurotsuchi.

Although they look very similar, there are subtle differences.

But before he could take a closer look, the entire forest had undergone new changes due to the spread of this power.

Small black light spots floated up from the ground, like elemental elves, wandering around in the forest, adding another color to this colorful world.

"No, this is dark element!"

Suddenly, Alpha reacted and cried out in surprise.

This is where he has the most contact with the Dragon God, so he can be recognized at a glance.

"What are you talking about? Is this a dark element?"

"You read that right?"

Augula and Yilin looked at each other.

You must know that the dark element is one of the two major powers controlled by the Moon God, and it is on the same level as powers such as light, space, and death.

If the power of life evolves all things, then the power of darkness is equivalent to the hotbed of life. There is a big difference between the two. Logically speaking, it should not appear like ordinary elemental elves.

"Is this the dark element?"

Rhodes looked surprised, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the black dot wandering to the side, but there was no sign of life like other elements.

That is to say.

It is not an elemental spirit.

And there's nothing special about it.

"Forget it, don't worry about that for now."

With that said, Rhodes looked at the statue again.

At this time, the dragon god's mark in his body had flown out, turned into a stream of light and merged into the statue, bursting out with a dazzling light.

"Ouch——"

A dragon roar resounded throughout the world, turning into a giant dragon silhouette and rising into the sky.

The teams that had just left outside the forest turned back one after another, stunned by the continuous visions.

I thought it was a seventh-level black beast that was about to come out, so I hurriedly escaped from the edge of the forest and returned to the plain.

But the shadows come and go as quickly as they come.

After everything settled, messages appeared in front of Rhodes.

[The Dragon God Statue is activated successfully, unlocking the Demigod's Protection: Elemental Power (Small)]

[Elemental Power (Small): Elemental magic power is increased by 10%, permanent effect within the altar range, and the effect disappears after leaving the range for 1 hour. ]

"Elemental Power? Why is it to increase the power of elemental magic? Shouldn't it be dark magic?"

Seeing the content of the information, Rhode was a little confused.

Alpha and the others also felt the changes in the altar, and were also puzzled.

On the contrary, Augura thought of something and looked excited: "I understand! I know why the dark element is different from other elements!"

"You understand again?"

"What do you understand? Tell me when the time comes."

Rhode wanted to punch him in the head, but he could only reach this guy's knees, so he finally gave up the idea.

Seeing this, Augura was immediately proud: "Don't you find it? The characteristic of the dark element is to contain everything, that is, it will not show the characteristics of any element, because... it itself contains the characteristics of all elements!"

Hiss--

The sound of inhaling sounded.

Being reminded by him, Rhode and the others finally reacted and looked at the black light spots floating everywhere again.
