Farming Tree Spirit

"Your Highness Aina, you are here."

Seeing Aina appear, the elders stood up one after another, looking extremely excited.

Only Lothar and a few others stood aside in silence, wanting to speak but stopping.

"You are Aina Lucifer, right? I have heard of your father's name."

The purple-winged demon turned around, and his deep and domineering voice echoed in the cave. Even though they were both royals, his momentum still overwhelmed Aina.

"You are..."

Aina's face was calm, and she had already guessed something.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Satan, the Blood of Hell. I come from the Giant Tree Alliance. I would like to invite you to join us and strengthen the glory of the demon clan!"

Satan!

Aina narrowed her eyes when she heard this.

As she expected, he came from the Giant Tree Alliance.

And Satan is one of the major surnames of the Demon King's Court. Like their Lucifer branch, it has produced several demon kings.

Unexpectedly, this branch actually lives in the Giant Tree Alliance and sent people to find him.

This explains why the elders showed such expressions.

She remained calm, scanned all the tribesmen, and then slowly said: "What about you? What do you think? Do you plan to stay here or leave with him?"

The tribesmen basically already knew the news about the Giant Tree Alliance, so there was no need to explain too much.

And it looked like this.

Before she came, the other party had already done a lobbying work, even if she wanted to stop it, it was too late.

Sure enough.

After a while, an elder who was the most prestigious on weekdays stood up.

"Your Highness Aina, we... can only better guarantee the survival of the tribesmen by going to the Giant Tree Alliance."

"Yes, you have seen it, if we keep guarding here, sooner or later we will not be able to hold on."

"I... I agree to leave too."

After saying that, they no longer dared to look at Aina, and all lowered their heads.

Because this behavior is tantamount to betrayal to the proud demons, betrayal of the king who rules them.

Aina just watched them silently without speaking, and the whole cave was terribly quiet.

Hellblood stood by, watching with interest.

He knew that this demon branch could not refuse his invitation, because the living conditions he could provide alone were enough to shake the most determined determination.

However.

What all the demons did not expect was.

After the silence, Aina suddenly sighed: "Go, I allow you to leave in the name of the heir of the Lucifer royal family!"

After that, she seemed to lose all her strength and staggered outside.

"Aina!"

"Your Highness Aina!"

Several elders including Losa shouted hurriedly, gritted their teeth, and followed.

The remaining tribesmen looked at each other, hesitating whether to leave.

In the end, only a few dozen stood up, glaring at them fiercely.

"You traitors! You don't deserve the surname of Lucifer!"

"Your Highness Aina protects you at the risk of her life. You have lost the dignity of the demon clan!"

"Let's go!"

With a cold snort, they left the cave and followed Aina. The whole cave was quiet again.

Until then.

Hell's Blood stood up, glanced at the direction Aina left, and sneered: "Don't worry, you are right. I believe it won't be long before they will regret their decision!"

...

Finally.

Most of the demons of Lucifer's lineage followed Hell's Blood and left.

In the entire empty cave, there were less than 30 people of Aina and her clan left, who chose to defend the place where they had lived for so many years.

"You should leave with them."

Outside the volcano.

Aina stood on a high place, looking at the team that was gradually going away, and whispered.

Although only half a day had passed, she seemed to have grown a lot in an instant, as if she had become a different person.

"No, we must follow Her Highness Aina to the death!"

"My life was given by Her Highness!"

There were more than 20 demons, both male and female. Some were warriors who had fought with Aina outside, while others had been saved by Aina's care. Each of them had an extremely firm attitude.

Seeing them like this, Aina's tense expression finally eased a lot, and she suddenly remembered the message from the gargoyle.

"In that case, you should shrink the defense line outside first. I have something to go out for."

"Will it be too dangerous to go out at this time?" Lothar said worriedly.

"No, don't worry and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, she left the volcanic area directly and headed deep into the black soil, disappearing from sight in a blink of an eye.

...

That evening.

As night fell.

Aina passed through the druid's nest, avoided the black beast with the hidden talent of the Night Demon Clan, and appeared outside the familiar altar.

From a distance.

Rhodes, who was leading a group of little guys to play tug-of-war in the open space, could be seen, and the cheers of encouragement kept echoing.

But.

Before she could speak.

A dark red figure sitting on a boulder and meditating suddenly opened his eyes.

"Who!"

A loud shout.

There was a rumble under Aina's feet, and the sky-high flames turned into a flame cage, instantly imprisoning her in place, and she couldn't even use the Night Demon's escape talent!

"What's wrong? Alpha."

The movement here suddenly attracted Rhodes's attention, and the little guys who were tug-of-war with Augula also let go of the cane, with doubts on their faces.

After seeing clearly the figure trapped in the flame cage in the distance, Augula laughed out loud.

"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be your purple chicken. No, it should be a roast chicken now."

As soon as these words came out, Alpha's vigilant eyes relaxed.

"know?"

he asked simply and clearly.

"Of course I know her. She is the devil who I told you before is good at cutting wheat."

After hearing Augura's introduction, Alpha took a deep look at Aina, waved his hand, and dispersed the flame cage.

Aina, who had regained her freedom, ducked to the edge of the altar and looked at Alpha sitting on the boulder with lingering fear.

Even though she was just sitting there, the feeling she felt was even more terrifying than the giant war tree, and even far more terrifying than the blood of hell she had seen before!

Beside this guy.

How could such a powerful existence suddenly appear?

Aina was horrified and couldn't help but look at Rhodes.

"Did you encounter any danger on the road?" Rhodes spoke first, without explaining anything about Alpha.

"I encountered a few fourth-level black beasts, but I hid my presence and avoided them." Aina said she had overcome the dangers on the road.

She has been to this forest many times and has a fairly good understanding of the distribution areas of high-level black beasts.

As long as she tried her best to avoid encountering black beasts of level five or above, she was still confident that she could ensure her own safety.

If it had been anyone else, they would have been torn apart by the swarming black beasts the moment they stepped into the forest.

"Fourth level?"

Rhodes' expression became solemn.

It seems that even in the direction he thinks is the safest, there is no shortage of high-level black beasts. It seems that the plan needs to be changed.

"You haven't told me why you called me here." Aina's tone was obviously more concise than before, and she directly asked about the business.

Rhodes gave her a strange look: "Did something happen to you?"

"No, you are overthinking."

"Yeah?"

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Rhodes didn't ask any more questions and said:

"It's like this. I plan to plant lantern trees in the forest and use them to open a path to the outside. I want you to come and help me."

"Create a path?"

Aina was slightly startled.

If there really was a road made of lantern trees, it would be much safer for them to enter the Druid's lair to look for the Moon Stone. She was very willing to see it.

only……

"I guess not. I've tried it before, and those lantern seeds won't survive at all."

"Can't the seeds survive?"

This time it was Rhodes' turn to be confused.

Wouldn't the broken lantern seeds grow up just by throwing them into the black soil?

Are you telling me that the seeds won’t survive?

He didn't believe it, so he took out a lantern seed from the space ring and handed it to Aina: "Try throwing it outside and see."

"Watch it."

Aina took the seeds and threw them into the black soil outside without hesitation, causing a splash of black air.

Then.

There will be no more.

The seed seemed to be rotten, lying on the ground without any reaction.

Aina saw that it was indeed the case and shrugged towards Rhodes.

"That's strange, the seeds should not be broken."

Rhodes was a little confused. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

But immediately, he thought of something and suddenly looked towards the largest lantern tree not far away.

"Are you up to something?"

Wow~

The lantern of the lantern tree swayed left and right, and a weak spiritual message was transmitted into his mind.

"Seed...offspring..."

The message was intermittent, but Rhodes, who often communicated with plants, understood it all at once.

The lantern tree wants to express that these seeds are its descendants, and only with its permission can they take root and sprout.

Good guy.

Even become a spirit.

"Then let this seed grow and see." Rhodes said.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar in the black soil, and a lantern tree rose from the ground. It really came alive!

"how so?"

Aina was shocked by this scene.

These plants will actually obey Rhodes' orders and control the growth of seeds!

Even if the tree spirits are close to nature, it should be difficult to achieve this level, right?

"That's right."

Rhodes nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of the ancestor of the lantern tree that he planted with his own hands, it brought him many surprises.

This way.

In the future, he won't have to worry about others using lantern seeds to deal with him, or that they will spread to cause disasters and grow everywhere.

Think of this.

He looked at Aina again: "The planting problem has been solved. Now can you call your tribe to come over and help?"

"Yes, yes, but..."

Aina opened her mouth but stopped talking.

"But what?"

Rhodes frowned slightly. This was the first time he discovered that this guy also had such a naughty side. It didn't seem like this before, he was so lively and interesting.

Although he was a little cautious, he didn't hate it. After all, the number of living people he could see here was limited.

"My people are all gone."

Aina's voice came slowly.

Under Rhode's stunned gaze, he raised his head and forced a forced smile.

"Why?"

Rhodes was very puzzled.

It was obviously fine some time ago.

Faced with the questioning, Aina did not hide it anymore and finally recounted what happened.

"I couldn't give them a safer living environment, so I let them go, so I may not be able to help you much."

Aina shrugged, her expression was not good.

But as a royal family, she naturally had to consider the survival of the tribe.

Seeing that the tribe was getting fewer and fewer, she had to make such a decision and respect their choice.

"Really."

Rod murmured in a low voice.

At this moment, he didn't care much about the giant tree alliance.

After all, if you can survive in the black soil for three hundred years, there will always be some means of survival, and it is not surprising to develop to a certain scale.

He just didn't expect that Aina would choose to stay, when she could live a better life.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong."

At this time, Augla came over and showed an admiring expression to Aina for the first time.

Even Alpha, who was listening silently beside him, couldn't help but nod.

Because if it were them, they would definitely make the same decision, instead of giving up their dignity for the sake of survival.

"What are your plans next?" Rhodes asked.

"I plan to rebuild the inside of the volcano, so that it should be able to block the next black moon." Aina thought for a while and said.

Even if there are only twenty or so tribesmen, she will not give up on them.

But I don't know.

After hearing her words.

Rhodes' eyes suddenly lit up: "Volcano? You live in a volcano?"

Isn't this a coincidence.

He was thinking about how to plant more fire mushrooms to heal Alpha. Isn't the volcanic area the most suitable place to plant?

And when there are more fire mushrooms, he can also use them to feed the fire elves to improve their strength.

It's the best of both worlds!

Immediately.

He said his idea and took out a fire mushroom and handed it to Aina.
