Farming Tree Spirit

"The safest?"

Brent and the others were puzzled after hearing the Ranger Captain's answer.

According to their prediction, the direction of the Elemental Holy Mountain should be the most dangerous, so how come it became the safest?

With doubts, they looked at the arrangements in the other three directions.

There is no need to say much about the deep forest. It is said that it is where the city lord lives, and there will definitely be no black beasts running over.

As for the outer edge of the forest, a large number of lantern trees were planted. Even if a black beast rushed in, it would probably be detonated by the living bombs of the lantern trees halfway, and the threat is not great.

The remaining direction shrouded in fog is said to be very strange. There is no black beast, but ordinary people can easily get lost if they go in.

One of them accidentally broke in before, and when he came out the next day, he was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, as if he had been in there for several days.

Since then.

No one dared to approach that place easily.

In other words, they only need to focus on defending against the black beasts running out of the druid's nest.

The moment they came to this conclusion, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as they were not facing a large number of black beasts, they should be able to survive with their current number.

"Attention! It's going to get dark soon!"

Suddenly, a reminder came, interrupting their discussion.

Everyone was shocked and looked up at the sky.

The sky, which originally had a hint of light, had completely turned dark, as if it was a bottomless abyss that wanted to completely swallow up the land below.

When a familiar black full moon gradually appeared, the atmosphere on the entire black soil began to become crazy and agitated.

"Roar!!!"

"Ah!!!"

The roars and roars of the black beasts echoed in various places on the black soil.

Then, there was a rumbling sound of footsteps, approaching them quickly, making people everywhere feel the earth shaking.

"Here they come! Those black beasts are really here!"

"Everyone be alert and prepare to fight!"

"Pick up your weapons!"

Shouts continued to ring.

Whether they were men or women, old or young, or those with injuries, they all picked up their weapons and prepared to fight the black beast head-on.

Brent and the others were very nervous. As their first battle after moving here, they had to defend it desperately.

"Dear, what's wrong with you?!"

Unexpectedly.

At this time, a shout suddenly came from the crowd.

A resident who had just been holding a magic cannon and pointing it at the outside suddenly became crazy and rushed wildly in the crowd.

"No, don't kill me... Get out of my way! You monsters!"

The man's eyes widened, and he looked around with fear on his face. He even raised the magic cannon in his hand and pointed it at them, and a wave of energy quickly gathered on it.

"Damn it!"

Brent's face changed, and he quickly flashed to the man, snatched his weapon, and asked several people to push him to the ground.

But the next second.

Several people in the team not far away went crazy one after another and attacked their companions. For a while, the whole scene fell into chaos.

"What's going on?"

Ogula, who heard the news, rushed over.

When he saw those crazy people, the ranger captain beside him seemed to think of something and suddenly looked up at the black moon.

Then, a strange mental wave enveloped him, making everything around him distorted, as if his soul had been taken away.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and retracted his sight, and the things in front of him slowly returned to normal, and the strange breath dissipated.

"It's the black moon!"

"Everyone be careful not to look at the black moon!"

A shout instantly spread throughout the crowd.

The people who were still confused were shocked and finally found the source of their companions' madness.

But even so, several people subconsciously looked up at the sky and looked at the black moon in the sky.

Then, as expected, they also went crazy and began to attack their companions around them without distinguishing between friend and foe.

Some knelt on the ground, crying and shouting the names of their relatives, or seeing something that frightened them, screaming and desperately running outside.

If the others hadn't reacted in time to hold them down, there would have been another big mess.

"Strange, shouldn't the Black Moon have become weaker?"

Augula was confused. Even the fifth-level ranger captain was almost hit, so he didn't dare to look up.

And his question was also the question of all the survivors on the black soil at this moment.

Compared with the Druid Forest, the situation in other gathering places was much worse.

Especially in the Crescent Valley, nearly 20% of the people were hit one after another, attacking people everywhere like mad beasts, or running around in fear, and the whole scene was in chaos.

This forced the forces that had just taken control of the canyon to withdraw extra manpower to suppress and desperately maintain order in the canyon.

At this time.

Roars rang out one after another.

Countless black beasts rushed from a distance, and the black mass was connected into one, which was much more terrifying than last time.

"Hold it! You must hold it!"

"Everyone, get on the city wall!"

"Hurry up and activate the barrier!"

"Everyone, don't look up!"

The panicked voices echoed in every corner.

Facing the tide of black beasts, even the high-level professionals from the Free City did not dare to be careless, and they all ran up to the city wall to start fighting.

At this time.

Augura and his team finally guessed the reason for the change of the black moon.

"It's a nightmare! Their reaction is the same as those who are entangled in nightmares!"

The captain of the ranger recovered from the strange breath and said in great shock.

He had only heard about the news of nightmares, but he didn't expect to see it here with his own eyes.

Could it be that the reason why those people who entered the dream forest were entangled in nightmares recently was the black moon in the sky?

"No, I have to go back to inform Lord Rhodes, and Augura will be left to you."

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

After saying that, the captain of the ranger left in a hurry.

He quickly crossed the forest and rushed back to the Moon Goddess Altar to inform Rhodes of the news.

"You mean, people who look at the black moon will go crazy?"

After hearing the situation outside, Rhodes and Irene Alpha looked at each other, because they were not affected at all here.

It seems that the spiritual energy in the forest has isolated the breath outside.

"Wait, this situation sounds... so similar to what Amar encountered?"

Irene thought of something and suddenly said.

Amar was the contaminated elf they rescued before.

It was also from her that they learned some information about the fourth demigod, the Dream Weaver.

"You mean, nightmares are related to the Dream Weaver?" Alpha's face became solemn.

Although he didn't want to admit it, all signs showed that the bizarre things that happened recently might be related to the Dream Weaver.

And these changes seemed to have started from the Druids detonating the Black Moon, and they were all weird.

"Dream Weaver? It seems necessary to go there and take a look."

While mumbling, Rhodes looked up at the only mysterious area he had not explored in depth, called Dreamland, which was also the most likely place for the last demigod mark to appear.

After a brief exchange of information, the Ranger Captain left in a hurry and took the team back to support the forest base.

Rhodes thought for a while and asked Alpha to go over to help.

Anyway, he still had the tree spirits of Irene and Ogula, plus a large group of little guys who had just been promoted to the second and third levels. No matter how many black beasts there were, they would only be used to upgrade their experience.

Look.

When they saw the black beasts running over from the Elemental Holy Mountain and the Giant Forest, the little guys had already taken the "toy guns" that Rhode had made for them and ran out excitedly with the war giant trees.

They didn't even need Irene, the long-range sniper, to show up.

"Be careful, don't rush too far ahead."

Rhode shouted loudly towards the battle position in the distance.

"Ah!"

"Roar!"

The little guy and Kaba responded, and then rushed into the black beast group and rushed around.

Rhode: ...

"Forget about them, let's pay attention to the outside."

Rhode held his forehead with one hand, ignored them, and paid attention to the situation in the forest base.

After all, he was going to build a city there, which would be used as an outpost and planting base in the forest, and it couldn't be destroyed by black beasts.

"With Augla and Alpha here, plus the dragons guarding that side, there shouldn't be any problems."

Erin closed her eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them again.

Just as she said.

Inside the forest base at this time.

After the initial panic, they quickly reorganized the team and used the magic cannons in their hands to attack and block the black beasts that rushed over.

"Come on, you damn monsters!"

"Take my big fireball!"

"I did it! I killed a second-level black beast!"

"Haha, I killed two too."

"Awesome! It's really awesome!"

On the defense lines built in all directions, residents stood behind the fences holding magic cannons, and launched fierce bombardments on the black beasts that rushed up. They were extremely excited, and the sound of explosions continued.

They never thought that resisting the attack of the black beasts would be so easy, and there was not even a single casualty, which made them full of confidence in the city that was about to be built.

"Get out of the way!"

At this time, Brent led his men to push the red crystal cannon up and directly activated the magic array on it.

Instantly, the magic light lit up.

Dense red magic arrays appeared around the cannon, as many as fifteen. The scene was like a high-level wizard casting super-level magic, shocking everyone to get out of the way.

The terrifying flame energy gathered on the muzzle, compressed into a ball of blazing red light, and suddenly shot towards the most densely populated black beasts in the distance.

"Boom!!"

A mushroom cloud exploded in the black beast group, and the scorching air waves swept around, forcing everyone to close their eyes.

When I looked at the center of the explosion again, I found that the black beasts had been blown to pieces, and even those above the fourth level were blown away and severely injured.

Hiss——

The sound of inhaling continued to sound.

Including Brent, everyone looked at the smoking cannon in shock, unbelievable.

"Is this the power of the cannon?"

"It can even hurt a fourth-level player!"

"Boss Brent, give me one too!"

"I want one too!"

"How can I not try something this good? Don't push me!"

All of a sudden, the members of the escort team started scrambling around the red crystal cannon, all wanting to get the right to fire the next round.

There was no way, this thing was so damn cool, any man would be tempted.

Look at the hand cannons in their hands, they are just as soft as a brother.

"Enough! Stop!"

Brent shouted, interrupting their fight.

Then he came to the cannon seriously and coughed twice: "Well, now is the critical moment of defense. Such an important thing should be operated by me. You will all go to your respective positions."

"Ah~~~"

The guards' faces were instantly pulled long, with contempt on their faces.

What critical moment? You just want to occupy the cannon for your own pleasure. It's really shameless.

"What? Do you have any objections?"

Brent glared at them fiercely.

No one dared to speak now, and they all returned to their positions to continue to resist the black beast, cursing in their hearts.

And Brent got what he wanted, and continued to operate the red crystal cannon, bombarding the black beast every once in a while.

The defense of the entire base was carried out in an orderly manner, and there were no major twists and turns until the next morning.
