Chapter 157 Dragon Nest Sacred Tree
The changes brought about by the restoration of the Tree of Life statue were completely beyond Rhodes' expectations.

Sure enough, no matter what it is, after the progress reaches 100%, there will be changes far beyond the previous ones.

Except for those without progress bars.

And this time.

Not only did their strength increase dramatically, but even the spiritual level of the forest was much higher than before, and it was no problem at all to accommodate a sixth-level soul.

More importantly, the area of ​​the forest has increased dramatically again, reaching an exaggerated length of two kilometers, which is enough even for the dark elves to move in and live there.

"Lord Rhodes, I have reached level six!"

At this time, Augla and the others ran over excitedly.

Although his aura was not as exaggerated as Alpha and the Great Elder, it was far superior to before and comparable to the sixth-level black beasts that Rhodes had seen.

Especially Augla.

The bark on his body was shiny and thick, just like pieces of steel plates. Even people of the same level standing there might not be able to break his defense.

Coupled with the unique talent of the War Tree, taking root in the ground can speed up recovery, making it simply a heavy fortress.

Needless to say, Yilin next to her.

I saw that there were a few more feathers on her soul bow, which made it look extremely domineering and had a bit more sharp aura.

"I haven't learned any new talents, but my soul bow has been upgraded. Now it can increase the range fivefold!" Erin couldn't contain her joy.

As a ranger, the most powerful talents are precision strikes and shooting range.

A shooting range of five times is something that even ordinary legendary rangers cannot achieve!

She knew very well that the cause of all this was the Dream Forest.

Because she has been staying in the Dream Forest recently, her soul power has been greatly improved, which has also indirectly strengthened her soul bow.

"Five times, then no ranged player can be your opponent."

Rhodes was also surprised after hearing this.

According to the basic range of a sixth-level ranger of about 600 meters, five times is equivalent to three kilometers.

Even wind magic with precision strikes isn't this exaggerated.

With her around, their chances of controlling the seventh-order black beast would definitely be greatly improved!
"That's great. I can help Alpha get back the Dragon God Mark." Rhodes said after thinking for a while.

Alpha's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Shall we set off now?"

Only after the Dragon God's Mark is retrieved can he contact his people, so naturally he is more anxious than anyone else.

"Don't worry." Rhode raised his hand. "After all, it's a seventh-level black beast. To ensure safety, we need to find a few sixth-level helpers first. It's best if they have more control methods."

He was not arrogant enough to kill the seventh-level black beast.

After all, level seven has another name, legendary hero!

Even though it has become a black beast and is unable to display the talents it had before birth, it cannot be killed by just a few level six warriors.

But if it's just a short-term distraction, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Are there many means of control?"

Augla muttered to himself, and suddenly looked up in surprise: "I know! I have a sixth-level tribesman whose main body is a ghost vine tree, and he is best at control. I will call him over right away!"

After saying that, he hurried back to the Sea of ​​Forest to ask the tree spirit elder for people.

Because the sixth level is the backbone of each race, they will not easily leave the tribe unless something major happens.

Seeing this, Yilin also said, "In that case, I will go back and ask His Majesty to transfer two sixth-level water clan members over. They should be able to help."

This time they were going to deal with a giant water dragon called the Black Beast, so bringing two rangers with the strongest sense of water energy might have a good effect.

Rhodes prepared various things on the altar and brought several large bottles of Moon Spring to ensure their safety.

soon.

Augla and Irene came back.

Also beside him was a giant war tree covered with black vines and two elven rangers surrounded by water vapor.

"Lord God's Messenger, our Augla has never caused you any trouble, right?"

The giant ghost vine tree spoke first, grinning with a terrifying mouth, and slapped Augla repeatedly, as if he was slapping his own cub.

And that is indeed the case.

Augla, who had just been promoted to the sixth level, was obviously smaller in front of the giant ghost vine tree. It was obvious at first glance that he was the top fighter among the tree spirit clan.

"Uncle Og, I am now at the sixth level. Can you give me some face in front of Lord Rhodes?" Augula said with a bitter face.

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

This Uncle Oger is an elder who specifically guards the elders.

Normally when he was beaten by the elders, it was Uncle Og who hung him up with a cane. The scene was simply horrific.

"What's wrong with level six? Level six, you're still a kid over 200 years old. If you dare to drag your feet in this mission, I'll hang you up and beat you!"

Uncle Og glared at Augla so fiercely that Augla's neck shrank.

You wait!

Wait until I reach level seven and become a legend.

We must get the place back!

"All right."

Having been together for so long, Rhode already knew the temper of the Dryads, and quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "I called you here this time to deal with a seventh-level black beast, so it's better to be careful."

"clear."

"Leave it to us!"

As soon as they heard the word "Seventh Level", the atmosphere finally became solemn. After all, they were not sure if they could gain any benefits from the Seventh Level.

But soon, their thoughts changed.

"Here, one bottle for each of you."

Rhodes handed them several small bottles.

Oger was about to say something when his eyes bulged out: "Holy Water of Life! This, this, this... is this really for us?"

It's not just him.

Augusta and Irene were so excited that they held the bottle tightly and refused to let go.

"It's for you. Don't be reluctant to use it when it matters. Come back and I'll give you another one after you use it up." In order to get the Mark of the Dragon God, Rhodes spent a huge amount of money this time, and he even took away one third of the Moon Spring.

Even if the plan fails, at least the safety of the personnel can be guaranteed.

I think that the seventh-level water dragon was an elder who guarded Moon Bay when he was alive. He should not have gone too far away from Moon Lake, so it should have no problem escaping.

"Can I get another one?"

When Augla and the others heard his words, they happily put away the Moon Fountain.

The two members of Irene's tribe were extremely grateful. Fortunately, they were on duty today, otherwise how could such a good thing happen to them?
This is the holy water of life.

It is said that drinking just one drop can cleanse the soul, and even Her Majesty the Queen has only seen it a few times.

Doesn't this make sense if we don't defeat the seventh-level black beast?

"Okay, get ready. Alpha should be back from exploring the area soon."

As Rhodes looked outside, he saw Alpha in his original form coming roaring in and landing on the open ground with a bang.

"What's the situation over there?" Rhodes walked over and asked.

"No problem, we can set off anytime." Alpha changed back into half-dragon form.

Because there were a lot of people going this time, we couldn't fly.

After briefly explaining some things, the entire team finally set off and hurried outside.

"Yeah!"

"roar~"

At this time, Little Thing and Kaba ran over and wanted to go out with them.

Rhode stopped and said to them, "It's a little dangerous to go out this time, you just stay at home."

Hearing this, the little creature pointed at Rhodes himself with a puzzled look on his face.

"You mean me? I'll be fine. It's you on the other hand. When I'm not around, the task of protecting the forest will be handed over to you. Do you understand?"

"Yeah!"

"Roar!"

The two little guys understood now, and immediately stood up straight, looking as if they were entrusted with an important task.

Then they immediately drew their weapons and began patrolling around the woods.

He looked so serious, and it was unclear whether he was playing a patrol game or really took Rhodes' words to heart.

"Let's go."

Rhodes smiled and turned to leave.

Six level six warriors, plus him, a level two warrior, marched deep into the black soil and headed towards the Holy Mountain of Elements.

And the speed is very fast, almost pushing forward all the way.

Alpha and his men didn't even need to take action. As soon as the black beast appeared, it was shot dead by Irene and the other three rangers. They couldn't even get within 500 meters. It was like a death zone.

After running all the way through countless mineral areas, they finally arrived at the Life Dragon's Lair that Rhodes had visited before, and endless green crystal trees came into view.

"After passing through here, you will reach Moon Lake."

Alpha, who was in charge of leading the way, reminded in a low voice, seeming a little excited.

No matter what, he must get the Dragon God's Seal this time and find the whereabouts of other members of the tribe.

"I remember you said that the giant tree in the center of the forest is the lair of the dragon of life, right?"

Rhodes looked into the depths and saw a dark shadow standing between heaven and earth looming.

It was really hard for him to imagine what kind of tree could become the nest of the dragon clan. It must be not much smaller than the Tree of Life, right?

"Are you talking about the Dragon Nest Sacred Tree?"

Uncle Oger, who was leading the way in front, suddenly turned around.

"Yes, it's the Dragon Nest Holy Tree." Alpha nodded and said, "The tree is very huge. Every branch can become a nest. The higher the tree is, the richer the essence of the moon is. Many life dragons will build nests on it. Over time, it has become the holy tree of their tribe."

"There is another rumor." Erin beside him interrupted, "It is said that when every giant dragon of life dies, it will bury its body under the Dragon Nest Holy Tree, so that the life energy around the holy tree reaches an extremely exaggerated level."

"There is such a legend?" Rhodes was surprised. "Should we go and take a look?"

"I think it's possible." Alpha was the first to agree, "Maybe we can find information about the Life Dragon Clan there."

"Well, let's go to the Dragon Nest Holy Tree first."

After that, they didn't stop any longer and changed direction directly to head deep into the forest.

I don’t know how many black beasts I killed along the way, and how long I walked forward, but a giant tree comparable to the Holy Mountain of Elements came into view. It was indeed as majestic as Alpha said.

What surprised Rhodes was that this Dragon's Nest Holy Tree was extremely similar to the tropical dragon blood tree he had seen, but it was many times larger.

A thick tree trunk rises from the ground and blooms into a disk of branches in the sky. It looks like a giant nest. No wonder it is used as a habitat by the Life Dragon Clan.

only.

At this time, the Dragon's Nest Holy Tree had been occupied by the black beast.

A large number of dark shadows were hovering around the treetops that were hundreds of meters high. Above the treetops, there were even more shadowy figures, hiding many terrifying figures.

"It's a bit difficult. The area below is easy, but there are so many black beasts on the trees. It may be difficult to get up there." Alpha said in a low voice.

"Forget it, there's no need to take the risk. It would be bad if there's a seventh-level black beast hiding up there."

Rhodes did not force it.

After clearing out the black beasts in the surrounding area, he came to the bottom of the Dragon's Nest Holy Tree. The huge roots that rose from the ground made him secretly amazed.

How many years of growth does it take to reach this level?
It's such a pity that it was contaminated and necrotized by the black soil.

"what is that?"

Suddenly, Augula's voice came.

He was seen standing at the other end of the sacred tree, looking at a giant dragon skeleton under the tree in surprise.

"Did you find anything?"

Rhodes and the others hurried around to his side.

At just one glance, they saw a plant seedling growing on the black soil in the giant dragon skeleton, and they were all shocked.

"This is... the seedling of the sacred tree!"
