Chapter 105 Planting the Moon

"What's going on? Did this stir up a hornet's nest?"

Next to the Moon Well.

When Rhodes opened his eyes, he was shocked by the scene before him.

Because the Moon Well is now like a fountain, with water gushing out continuously.

In just a few minutes, the water level nearly doubled and directly overflowed the deep pit in the middle. It was estimated that there was at least half a bucket of water.

He had never fought such a prosperous battle before, and his mouth was suddenly crooked with smiles.

"Good good."

"You are worthy of being my favorite believer!"

Ever since the last time the Yellow Lantern Tree was planted to purify the water, the Moon Spring's reserves have run out.

Now that it has increased again, he feels more confident and can do many things that he could not do before.

Think of this.

Rhodes lowered his head.

Look at the three seeds that appeared on the stone platform.

He had just been muttering about seeds, wanting to grow some high-level crops. Later, he really sensed a faint breath and tried to receive it with his mind.

I didn't expect that I actually got the seeds.

It seems that as his spiritual power increases, his connection with the believers is becoming stronger and stronger, and he can barely sense the breath of the tribute.

Wait until you level up a few more levels.

Wouldn’t it be possible to choose whatever you want and buy it directly for free?
"I hope it's a better seed..."

Looking at the three identical black seeds in his hand that were of unrecognizable type, Rhodes prayed silently.

His requirements are not high. Just some corn, watermelon, durian or something like that will be enough. At worst, a sweet potato will be fine.

"Where are you going, Lord Rhodes?"

Augura looked over.

“Go plant something.”

Rhodes said without turning his head.

soon.

He came to the plantation of the Masochist trees, found a piece of moist land, and started digging a hole.

Hearing the noise, the natural elves in the plantation also gathered around him and flew back and forth around him, as if welcoming the birth of new life.

Even the soul ravens that had built their nests in the trees flew down to the nearby branches, constantly tilting their heads to look around curiously.

"All right!"

After burying the seeds and watering them, Rhodes sat down and cast cultivation magic on the land.

Not a moment.

A message pops up.

[Cultivation successful, experience value +1]

[Experience value: 114/200]

There is a play!

Rhodes' eyes flashed.

Being able to gain experience means that it is possible to plant here and it does not have specific environmental requirements like the Lantern Tree and Star Moss.

Excited, he immediately increased his magic output, turning it into streams of life force that poured into the land, also attracting all the little creatures.

"Gah~gah~"

"Roar!"

The Soul Raven on the tree and Big Bear below seemed to sense something and let out a low growl.

Rhodes, who was casting a spell, also felt that this seed was a little different from the previous ones, as if something was about to break out of the shell.

The magic power in his body was also lost at an exaggerated rate, like a bottomless pit.

"what happened?"

Just a seed.

Why does it take so much magic power?

After casting the spell for another half an hour, Rhodes finally realized that something was wrong. He quickly took out the prepared Moon Spring and drank it in one gulp, instantly restoring his magic power.

But after half an hour, his magic power was exhausted again and he had to drink another sip of the Moon Fountain.

This was repeated seven or eight times until almost midnight, and there was no response. It finally attracted Augura and Alpha who were meditating.

"Why do I sense a familiar aura?"

"I feel it too!"

Alpha looked solemn as he tried hard to recall the source of the breath.

at this time.

The seeds finally responded.

With a crisp "puff" sound, a tender sprout broke through the soil and grew rapidly with the help of the cultivation magic at ten times the speed.

[Planting successful, experience value +5]

[Cultivation successful, experience value +1]

Rhodes was overjoyed. He drank another sip of the Moon Spring and continued to cast the cultivation magic.

Then, the buds bloomed and turned into two green leaves that looked a little hairy, constantly stretching outward.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

He always felt like he had seen it somewhere.

As the sprouts grew taller and more leaves appeared, the confusion on his face turned into suspicion.

When the plant grew to more than half a meter in height and a chrysanthemum-like bud bloomed on the top, his expression finally froze.

"sunflower!?"

That's right!

What appeared in front of him was a sunflower bud, wasn’t it?

It's noisy.

You made such a big reaction out of me just because of a sunflower?

Rhodes couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to curse him for wasting so much time and the Moon Fountain.

But just as he was about to say that, his expression changed again.

"No, it doesn't look like a sunflower!"

As if in response to his words, the flower bud on top slowly bloomed, revealing the scene inside.

It turned out to be a crescent-shaped pistil!

hum-

A soft light comes on.

Above the flower bud, a shadow of the moon slowly condensed, casting a warm moonlight downwards.

Everyone, including Augla and Alpha, opened their mouths wide and looked at the moon in disbelief.

this moment.

They finally knew what that familiar smell was. The moon!

It turned out to be the moon that had disappeared for three hundred years!

Even though it was just a disembodied shadow, the moonlight that fell on it seemed extremely familiar to them. It was the light of life that nurtured their souls!
"Lord...Lord, have you planted the moon seed...?"

Gollum~
The sound of swallowing was heard.

Augula stuttered and couldn't even speak clearly.

After being stunned for a moment, the little ones cheered and jumped around the shadow of the moon.

You can see that they are very excited.

Only Rhodes himself was confused.

what's the situation?
He planted the moon?

Can the moon be planted?
This isn't a sunflower at all, it's more like a moon sunflower!
Strange.

It's so weird.

Where did those believers get this seed?
Would it have been swapped when crossing dimensions?

"It really is the moon. The aura is exactly the same, but it's much weaker." Alpha finally came back to his senses, with indescribable shock in his words.

Because compared to Augla's tree spirit heritage, he had seen the moon with his own eyes.

What shocked them even more was that under the moonlight, the black soil not far away was disappearing rapidly.

It was as if he had met his nemesis and didn't dare to get even a little bit closer.

"What a strong dispelling ability!"

Augla and Alpha's eyes lit up, and Rhodes was also overjoyed.

Wherever the moonlight shines, the black soil is all dispelled. It is simply a divine object!
If I go out with a sunflower in my hand, won't I be able to move freely in the black soil?
Looking at the moon above his head, Rhodes couldn't help but imagine the future.

But thinking about it, it's not very likely. After all, this thing is so delicious. Just planting one took him half a night and a lot of magic power.

I guess we have to wait until his level reaches a certain level before we can achieve large-scale planting.

Now words.

Let’s finish planting these three trees first.

Think about it.

Rhodes took the remaining two seeds and planted them on the other two sides of the altar.

I worked like this until the next morning, when I finally planted the three moon sunflowers. Three crescent moons rose above the altar, forming a scene of three moons in the sky.

Under the moonlight, he could feel that the production rate of elemental elves and forest souls had increased significantly.

Just one night had passed, and the number of light spots on the altar and its surroundings had increased by 20%, making the free magical elements in the air become denser and even began to seep out.

"Lord Rhodes, do you feel that these three moons seem to be a little rounder than last night?"

At this time, Augula came over from a distance.

As natural life forms, they will not be affected too much even if they don't sleep. They just need to take some time for metabolism.

On the contrary, Alpha, a giant dragon, went to bed early.

“It’s definitely rounder.”

Rhodes stroked his chin, looked carefully at the moon above his head, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Do you think it will be like the Black Moon, full once a month? Or when the moon becomes full, it is the Black Moon?"

"Huh? It seems possible!"

Augula reacted and made a simple estimate. At this rate, it would indeed become round in just half a month.

If that were the case, then they wouldn't have to bother remembering how many days of the black moon were left.

"In that case, let's keep an eye on it for a few more days to see if it's the same as we guessed."

Rhodes waved his hand and went back to the altar to rest.

Although the tree spirit can do without rest, the consumption of his mental energy is too great. Even with the recovery of the Moon Spring, he still cannot bear it.

So very quickly.

He took root beside the Moon Well and fell into a deep sleep.

……

I do not know how long it has been.

When Rod woke up, he found it was still morning outside.

It was just dawn, and the emerald sky that had been suppressed to the corner gradually dispelled the darkness and regained its dominant position.

Laughter and joyful chatter could be heard constantly from my ears, as energetic little ones were chasing and playing in the open space.

"I slept all day?"

Rhodes was secretly shocked, feeling nothing at all.

I finally understand why those immortal beings can sleep for several years. It turns out they really have no concept of time.

After pulling out the rhizome and shaking off the dirt, Rhodes felt refreshed and felt that the bark on his body had become much smoother.

"It seems like I haven't taken a shower in a long time."

He rubbed his body with his hands, rubbing off a pile of fallen old skin. He shook his head, and the withered yellow leaves after metabolism fell down.

Looking around, there was no sign of Augla. He must have returned to the Sea of ​​Forest.

Alpha was the same as always, always following Kaba closely, and there was not much change after his awakening.

It's only been one day.

The dragons sleep by the decade.

So for them, a day is just a "short nap" and not even sleep.

Rhodes didn't care about all that and jumped directly into the reservoir next to the altar. He washed the dirt on his body thoroughly, then poked his head out and looked at Alpha.

"Did anything happen while I was sleeping?"

This question also made the little ones look over.

When I noticed him soaking his body in the water, I immediately came over with curiosity and tried to soak my feet in the water as well.

The black dragon baby Kaba was even more direct, jumping into the water with a flying dive.

It dived far away like a duck into the water and hit its head on a rock on the opposite bank, causing the other children to laugh at it, and the soul raven in the sky even cackled.

"There seems to be something going on at the Druid's Lair."

Alpha came over and said respectfully.

"Something's going on? What do you mean?"

Rhodes left the pool and came to the shore.

"I'm not very clear, but I vaguely sensed that the black beasts over there seemed to be rioting. I went out with my main body and only saw the situation within 50 kilometers."

Fifty kilometers is already a very long distance.

You have to know that Augla, who is also a fifth-level soul body, can only go out more than ten kilometers.

"The black beasts are rioting?" Rhodes was shocked. "Are they coming towards us?"

"No." Alpha shook his head. "On the contrary, they are heading out of the forest. I guess something happened over there. Do you want me to expend my soul power to go out and take a look?"

With his current recovery condition, he would be able to fly outside quickly when transformed into his dragon form, but the damage to his soul would be very great.

Rhodes naturally knew this and rejected his proposal.

"No, I'll just go take a look. It won't be too late to rush over if there's any danger."
