Chapter 107 The True Use of Wind Element
The arrow appeared extremely suddenly.
By the time Rhodes reacted, he had already turned into a ray of cold light and sank into the cheetah's head.
"puff!"
"Ow!!"
Screams echoed throughout the cave.
The second-level black beast that was extremely ferocious just now suddenly died, fell to the ground and quickly dissipated.
Rhodes looked in the direction from which the arrow came and saw a figure in black leather armor standing at the corner, with his hand raised and the bow drawn.
And under the black hood, two iconic long ears were exposed, which made Rhodes stunned.
The figure just glanced at him, Kaba and the little thing, then turned and disappeared around the corner.
"Wait a moment!"
Rhodes was startled and quickly chased after him.
But when he turned the corner, there was nothing in front of him, only underground passages leading to nowhere.
Humanity?
Or an elf?
Rhodes was full of doubts. He didn't expect to encounter any life other than black beasts in a place like the druid's nest.
And apart from the skin color, they were very similar to the elves described to him by Augula.
Could it have come from somewhere else?
Or did they originally live underground?
"Forget it, let's go back first!"
Seeing that they had already entered a very dangerous area and had already collected a lot of Moon Stones, Rhodes did not take any more risks and quickly evacuated with the little thing and Kaba.
The journey was safe and sound, and we did not encounter any black beasts above the second level.
More than an hour later, he finally returned to the altar and asked Augla about the elves.
"You encountered an elf in the druid's lair?"
Augula was also shocked by the news.
"That's not right. Logically speaking, elves are natural creatures and shouldn't be able to survive underground."
The elves were born from the Tree of Life. To put it simply, they are a race that emerged from the spirits of plants and trees that developed intelligence.
Even flowers and plants need light, let alone elves.
"Have you forgotten that there is a kind of elf that does not need light?"
At this time, Alpha's voice was heard, and he also heard the conversation between the two and walked over.
"An elf that doesn't need light?"
Ogula was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Dark elves! You are talking about dark elves, right?"
"Yes."
Alpha nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, Lord Rhodes must have encountered a dark elf."
As soon as these words came out.
Rhodes was even more surprised.
He remembered that Augla had mentioned before the special race of dark elves.
Unlike ordinary elves, dark elves can only be born at night and do not like sunlight. They are known as the darlings of the night and are purer than the night demons.
The Night Demon only has the talent to control shadows, and his main fighting method is still mental attacks such as charm.
The dark elves, on the other hand, are the embodiment of the night. It is said that they can completely blend themselves into the darkness and are the top hunters among all races.
No wonder he could appear near him silently.
"If I remember correctly, there was indeed a dark elf tribe living in the forest above the druid's nest." Alpha said thoughtfully.
"That is to say, those dark elves are very likely still alive and hiding in the druid's lair?" Rhodes' eyes lit up.
"Yes."
Alpha glanced outside the altar: "Based on my observations during this period, the auras of black soil and dark elements are very similar. They should have quite a few members alive."
"And like the elves, they were born from the Tree of Life. They are one of the many forest guardians under the Tree God. If we can call them back, it will be a great help to us."
"Is there still this?"
Rhodes was surprised after hearing this.
What he lacks most now is manpower, because the crops are about to mature, and the land is constantly expanding, so the number of people they have is simply not enough.
To put it bluntly, there are high-level combat forces but no ordinary labor. No one is doing the large and complicated work, which is very time-consuming.
For example, watering, weeding, harvesting, planting, and daily forest maintenance are all done by them.
The little ones can help a little.
But only a little bit.
While helping them, they suddenly wander off to play, or they need him to direct them.
"Wait a minute, you said that the dark elves were also born on the Tree of Life? Why haven't I heard the elders mention it?" Augla next to him suddenly interrupted.
"Of course you don't know."
Alpha glanced at him and said, "Because the souls of the elves were first conceived in the Dream Forest. White elves were born during the day, and dark elves were born at night. I have seen this with my own eyes in the Dragon's Nest before."
Thinking back to the past, the tree god's huge body that seemed to support the heaven and earth, and the new souls condensed on it, Alpha's eyes became a little dazed.
I don’t know if I will be able to see such a dreamy scene again in the future.
"The soul you are talking about, is it a tumor like this?"
Suddenly, Augula's voice came from a distance.
He didn't know when he had run to the edge of the plantation and pointed at the masochistic little tree inside.
Tumor?
What tumor?
Rhodes and Alpha looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that a fist-sized lump had grown on the masochistic little tree without them noticing.
It's like a tree tumor, hanging on the branch, blocked by the dense leaves, and cannot be seen if you don't pay attention.
"Strange, when did this thing grow?"
Rhodes walked over and looked at the tumor in confusion.
It looks weird.
Could it be that it has parasites?
Is it because of the moonlight?
He looked up at the moon floating above him, and felt that many plants had changed after this thing appeared.
As for Alpha, he had a strange look on his face.
"It seems... that's it..."
You describe the souls of the elves as tumors. Aren’t you afraid of being beaten when you return?
of course.
Tucao returns to Tucao.
He looked at the little tree with some doubt.
Because he clearly remembered that the souls of the elves on the Tree of Life had no entity.
When they grow to a certain size, they will be born on the Tree of Life in the material plane, thus giving birth to elves.
He expressed his doubts.
After hearing this, Rhodes and Augla looked at each other and then looked at the Masochistic Little Tree again.
"According to the elders, this tree must have been contaminated by the aura of the tree god, which caused some changes." "Will it grow something strange?"
Rhodes came under the tree, reached out and gently touched the tumor, but there was no reaction.
It even made him doubt whether it was really just a tree tumor.
"How about we pick it and cut it open and see?" Augula suggested.
Alpha rolled his eyes at him and said, "What if there really is a soul inside? Then you will be a sinner in the Dream Forest."
"Uh... I was just saying that."
Augla was scared.
He is going to be the tree spirit who is the greatest contributor to the forest, so how can he allow a stain on his resume?
And don't know why.
When he said that, he suddenly felt a chill coming over him, making him shiver all over.
"That's strange. Can tree spirits feel cold too?"
Augula muttered quietly, not noticing the little masochistic tree swaying gently in the plantation.
Seeing that he couldn't find anything out of the research, Rhode ignored it for the time being and turned his attention back to the problem of the dark elves.
He has already planned.
After reaching the second level, I will go deeper into the nest to see if there really is a dark elf tribe.
If so, they should be very familiar with the druid's lair and may be able to help him find the demigod mark of the archdruid.
it is good.
That’s it!
Rhodes clenched his fists and set a short-term goal to conquer the underground kingdom of the Druid's Lair!
As if in response to his thoughts, experience tips suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Crops mature, experience points +1]
[Crops mature, experience points +1]
[Crops mature, experience points...]
Is the wheat ripe?
When Rhodes saw the prompt message, his first reaction was to look at the wheat field. Sure enough, it was already emitting a rich wheat aroma, and it was golden in every direction.
Followed by.
Countless messages popped up again.
[Crops mature, experience points +1]
[Level upgrade, lv15→lv18]
……
【Demonized Tree Spirit lv18】
[Occupation: Gardener (Level 1)]
[Experience: 7/260]
[Ordinary magic: Thorn Guard, Life Shield...]
[Professional Magic: Cultivation, Harvest]
Upgrade three levels in a row!
It was beyond Rhodes's expectation that the ripe wheat would provide so much experience.
It seems that increasing the planting area is still very effective, even though the experience given by wheat has been reduced a lot.
After the upgrade.
He simply felt a surge of energy flowing through his body, causing his mental strength and magic power to have a qualitative leap, almost comparable to the state he had when he drank the mental potion before.
If he drinks the mental potion now, he will probably be able to reach the second level directly.
"what happened?"
Augura and Alpha looked over.
"The wheat is ripe and ready to be harvested!"
Rhodes said as he walked towards the wheat field.
"Mature?"
When Augula heard this, he was also very excited and hurried to follow him.
Bang bang bang~
Rhodes stood at the edge of the field and clapped his hands.
"Come on, come on, get ready to work, come and gather."
At a shout, the little ones who were hiding and playing everywhere popped their heads out and ran over cheering.
In a blink of an eye, the entire edge of the field was filled with figures of all sizes.
There are Auguras as big as twenty meters and elemental elves as small as a thumb.
Even Alpha, who was participating in the harvesting activity for the first time, stood on a huge rock next to him with his arms behind his back, listening to Rhodes' mobilization arrangements.
soon.
Each member received his or her own task and began to busy himself in various places in the wheat field. The area around the altar was bustling with activity.
Since there was no Aina to help this time, their harvesting speed was much slower.
Fortunately, a lot of new members have been added to the altar recently, so the speed is not so slow that it is unacceptable.
"correct!"
Suddenly, Rhodes remembered that there was a wind crystal in the ring.
When the black moon descended before, he obtained a total of two elemental crystals, one for wind, one for fire, and one for earth when he was exploring the mineral forest.
The fire element has been absorbed by Alpha.
Now there are only two pieces left: wind and soil.
Immediately call over the two lower-level wind and earth elements with the strongest aura and have them absorb the crystals.
Not a moment.
Their bodies swelled suddenly and they stepped directly into the first level.
As the number of small stones floating around the earth element increased, the power of the whirlwind around the wind element also increased.
"Come on, let's see if you can cut these wheat with the wind blade."
Rhodes said to the advanced wind element.
The wind element did not hesitate. It came to the wheat field, opened its mouth and blew hard. Wind blades flew out and accurately cut off the wheat stalks underneath, causing them to fall down in a blink of an eye.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the second-level Aina, it has greatly improved their harvesting efficiency.
"Okay, okay, that's it! Well done, Xiaofeng!"
Rhodes was overjoyed and praised him repeatedly.
After hearing this, Xiaofeng worked even harder, wandering among the wheat fields and harvesting all the remaining wheat.
The awkward scene made Augla, who was not far away, secretly gasp in amazement.
"Isn't this too convenient? You think Lord Moon God created the wind element just to use it to harvest wheat?"
alpha:"……"
