Chapter 138 The Origin of Black Soil?
Outside the Giant Forest.

In a mushroom forest made of giant mushrooms.

Just like in the forest, the mushrooms here are very strange.

Not only is it extremely large, but huge bubbles also grow on the cap, completely isolating the pollution from the black soil.

At first glance, there are many mini buildings inside each bubble.

There were constantly dwarf humans flying around, and the sky was full of people flying around on paragliders. The scene was so lively that it was like a large kingdom.

Manta, who had rushed back from the Giant Forest, shuttled between mushrooms and soon entered a bubble that looked like a small city.

"Huh? Isn't this the Man Tower? Did you climb the Sky Tree again today?"

As soon as I landed, several dwarf guards on patrol came over.

"Of course, I am the man who will ascend to the Kingdom of the Sky!" Manta said proudly.

When these words were spoken, the other guards all laughed.

"Come on, you've been there so many times."

"I've already said that it's just a legend. It can't be trusted."

"Have you seen anyone climb up there in such a long time?"

"Isn't it going to fail this time?"

Most of these people's words were joking. After all, the legend of the Sky Tree was no longer a secret, and many people had tried to reach it before, but all had failed.

As time went by, they no longer took this legend seriously, and only Manta still insisted on going there every few days.

So every time I come back.

They all ask the same question.

"How was it? Did you see the Kingdom of the Sky today?"

This was a formulaic question, and Manta's expression froze. "I... I'm just not ready! As long as I adjust the paraglider, I'll be able to succeed next time!"

"But you always say that."

"That's different!" Manta continued to argue, "Today I met a friend who wanted to go to the Sky Kingdom just like me, which shows that there are still people who believe in this legend."

"Ah? Is there anyone else as stupid as you?"

"If you don't believe me, just wait. When I successfully reach the Kingdom of the Sky, I will make a big wish and give you endless food!"

After saying that, Manta left angrily and hurried back home.

……

the other side.

Rhodes, who had left the Giant Forest, had now returned to the altar.

As soon as I stepped into the woods, I saw two uninvited guests.

One of them he knew, the great elder of the dark elves, but the other one had the characteristics of a beast, and he had never seen it before.

"Lord Rhodes, you are finally back. The Great Elder said he has something to talk to you about, and he brought someone with him."

Seeing Rhodes appear, Augla immediately came forward.

Rhodes jumped off Kaba's back and came in front of the great elder, looking at the figure whose momentum was not much weaker than Augla's.

"he is?"

"He is the representative of the druid tribe, Staghelm." The great elder introduced.

Druid tribe?
Rhodes' eyes lit up when he heard this.

He was planning to wait for the dark elf person in charge of communication to come over before going to the druid community to take a look, but he didn't expect that the other party would send someone over first.

"I've seen the angel."

Deer Helmet had obviously heard what the Great Elder had said about Rhodes, and his attitude was very respectful.

originally.

After learning the truth about the Black Moon, he still had doubts about this so-called messenger sent by the Moon God.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a special trip with the Dark Elf Grand Elder to come and confirm it in person.

But when he saw the woodland that had miraculously recovered its vitality and the druid souls that embodied the aura of their people, he finally believed it.

Yes.

No one can do this except the power of the Moon Goddess.

Even their ancestor, Lord Cenarion, couldn't do it!
So he had no choice but to believe it.

"No need to be so polite." Rhode waved his hand and looked at Staghelm curiously. "I heard that the druid tribe is in the core area of ​​the nest, which is far away from here. How did you get here?"

The Great Elder is a dark elf. He is not afraid of the black soil and is very powerful. It is not surprising that he can run around.

But he was a little surprised that the druid could walk on the black soil.

"The true form of Stag Helmet is Shadow Cheetah, and it also has strong resistance to black soil." The Great Elder explained at the right time.

"Yes."

Lukui nodded seriously, and changed back to his original form in an instant, a pitch-black cheetah with a crescent mark on his forehead.

"We, the Shadow Cheetah clan, have a dark physique, so we are not afraid of the black soil. In other words... basically all races with this physique have survived the disaster."

The cheetah spoke human language, and the scene was very strange.

But what he said shocked Rhodes.

Because Rhodes had heard from Alpha before that the aura of this black soil was very similar to the dark element, Kaba, as a black dragon, was not affected.

Now I hear Lu Helmet say this, combined with the previous incident of bombing the Black Moon.

Could it be that the druids knew something?
"Do you know the secret of the Black Moon?" Rhodes asked quickly.

Now Lukui was a little confused: "Aren't you a messenger sent by the Moon God? Don't you know?"

"Uh..." Rhodes scratched his head awkwardly, "When I woke up, I was already here. I haven't even seen the Moon God. I only know that he left me here to rebuild the forest."

The irresponsible Moon God just threw him on this shabby altar and left him there.

If he had the ability to leave here, anyone who wanted to be this crappy messenger of God could do it. Wouldn't it be nice to run out and play freely?

"You mean to say that you haven't seen the Moon God either?"

Deer Helmet's expression instantly became serious: "Sure enough, the clan leader's guess is right!"

"Guess? What guess? What did your clan leader say before?" The Great Elder also became interested.

The scene where the Druid Chieftain sacrificed his own soul in order to destroy the Black Moon was still vivid in his mind.

As a former good friend, he still cares very much about this matter.

What on earth is the reason that could allow the Druids to do this?

Not to mention Rhodes.

He had always wanted to know where the Moon God had gone, so he looked at Luku with the same curiosity. Seeing this, Luku no longer concealed anything and said something that made the two of them look pale.

"Our clan leader said that the black moon in the sky is the source of the black soil. The Moon God... may have met with an accident."

"What did you say!?"

"impossible!"

The two exclamations attracted the attention of Augla and the other little ones in the distance.

Rhodes and the Great Elder had different expressions.

One was shocked by the claim that the black moon was the source of the black soil, and the other had a grim expression and firmly refused to believe that the Moon God had fallen.

You know, that's the Moon Goddess.

One of the most powerful gods!

How can it be possible to fall just like that?

Even if he was told that he fell into a deep sleep due to an accident, he could barely believe it.

"I know this news is a bit shocking. When the clan leader told me, I couldn't believe it, but..."

Deer Helmet paused and looked at the sky: "Have you ever thought that the moon is the embodiment of the power of the Moon God? Three hundred years ago, the moon disappeared and the Black Moon came. Doesn't it mean that the power of the Moon God has completely dissipated?"

"Impossible! The Moon God controls all life. Even if other gods perish, he will not perish!"

The Great Elder was firm in his attitude and directly refuted.

Others may not know, but he knows it very well.

As the god who controls the origin of life, the Moon God is very difficult to kill.

Even if the divine nature is shattered and the divine body dissipates, one can still be reborn in Nirvana with the help of the power of life.

This is why he is more powerful than many gods.

Deer Helmet didn't understand this, so he asked, "Then how do you explain the black soil outside? It can devour everything. Only the dark element of Lord Moon God can do that!"

Night and life.

They are the two major forces controlled by the Moon Goddess.

The night embraces everything and life gives birth to nature; the two forces complement each other.

But now.

The night is violent and life is extinguished.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like she has lost control, and it is hard not to doubt that the Moon Goddess has really fallen.

"So... the black soil is actually the power of the Moon God?"

Rhodes was shocked after hearing this.

The black soil's all-devouring property is indeed similar to the dark element.

Doesn’t that mean that the destruction of the Dream Forest is actually related to the Moon Goddess?
If you think about it this way, everything seems to make sense.

After all, only the power of gods can destroy the entire dream forest in an instant, and even demigods cannot resist it.

"No, there's still something that doesn't make sense!"

At this time, the Great Elder came to his senses: "Since the Dream Forest was created by the power of Lord Moon God, if he died, the Dream Forest should have collapsed directly. How could it have survived?"

"This……"

Deer Helmet obviously hadn't thought about this and just stood there.

indeed.

The kingdom of God is equivalent to a part of oneself.

As long as the gods fall, the kingdom of God will collapse and dissipate. Logically, it should not survive like it does now.

Is the Moon Goddess still alive?

Or maybe their guess was wrong from the beginning, and the power of the black soil did not come from the Moon Goddess?
"Anyway, I don't believe that the Moon God has fallen. He must have encountered some kind of accident and is temporarily unable to come back. He will return one day!"

The conservative elder still couldn't accept the fact that the Moon Goddess was no longer there.

As for Rhodes, he was confused by the series of shocking news.

Because both of their statements are well-founded and seem to be true.

But he quickly realized what was happening and asked again, "So, your clan leader blew up the Black Moon in order to eliminate the Black Soil from the root?"

"Yes, he wanted to give us as much hope of survival as possible."

"Before he started, wasn't he afraid that his plan would fail and that he and his people would be sacrificed?"

“No.” Deer Helmet shook his head. “The chief… had actually anticipated this outcome a long time ago, so…”

"So even if you have to sacrifice yourself, you have to weaken Black Moon as much as possible, right?"

"Correct."

Deer Helmet raised his head and looked at Rhodes again. Suddenly, a sentence the patriarch said before leaving emerged in his mind.

"The pollution is getting worse and worse. We can't save the Dream Forest with our own strength... Only when the Moon Goddess returns again, or a new Moon God is born, will we have a chance. What I have to do... is to buy as much time as possible!"

After saying that, the clan leader led the elders and resolutely walked into the magic formation.

He was watching outside at the time, watching his tribesmen rush towards the black moon like moths to a flame.

perhaps.

Standing in front of him at this moment.

This is the hope that the patriarch mentioned.

only……

Thinking of this, Deer Helmet transformed into a human form again, took out a fang and a scale from his arms and handed them to Rhodes.

"This is what the clan leader asked me to give you. Now that the mission is completed, it's time for me to go back."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

The elder was stunned and asked quickly: "Aren't you going to come and help?"

"hehe."

Deer Helmet laughed at himself and said, "We have betrayed our beliefs. Even if we are forgiven by the Moon Goddess, we cannot forgive ourselves. But if you need any help in the future, you can always come to us. Now we are leaving."

After saying that, he transformed into a cheetah, ran outside, and disappeared into the black soil in the blink of an eye.

The two were stunned for a long time, and the Great Elder finally shook his head and sighed: "Alas, these guys are good in every way, but they are too stubborn. They will never change their minds. God, please don't blame them."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy."

He had heard that druids believed in nature to their core, and now seeing that it was indeed true, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He lowered his head and looked at the two things that Lu Helmet left for him, and suddenly his pupils widened.
