Chapter 161 Land Dispute
Rhodes currently has three things that can effectively purify the black soil.

The masochistic little tree, the meteorite, and the moon sunflower.

However, the first two have great limitations. One is that planting requires a large amount of Moon Spring, and the other is limited in quantity. It is completely unrealistic to purify the entire Druid Forest.

Therefore, the only choice that can meet all his needs is Xiang Yuekui.

Not only is it easy to plant, it can also produce a large number of seeds. Moreover, as Rhodes' level increases, the problem of magic power consumption has been solved.

The only problem.

It's a matter of growth.

Because it is impossible to plant the Moonflower on the black soil at the beginning. If you want to plant it in the Druid Forest, you have to plant it slowly from the altar and spread it, which is too inefficient.

"Isn't this simple?"

Hearing Rhode's difficulties, Ogula, an expert in bad ideas, immediately came up with a solution: "You only need to place a meteorite in the center of the forest, and then plant a circle of moon sunflowers next to it. Wait for the moon sunflowers to purify the surrounding land, and then continue to plant another circle of moon sunflowers. Repeat this several times, and it will slowly spread out, right?"

"...I find that your brain is quite useful sometimes." Rhodes laughed.

Don't say it.

Although Augu's method seems stupid, if you think about it carefully, it seems to be the best solution at the moment.

Because the purification range of the Moonflower is very large, it can spread out in circles like dominoes, and soon the entire Druid Forest can be purified.

At that time, we only need to arrange guards at the entrances of the druid's nest and the borders on both sides to prevent high-level black beasts from rushing out and causing damage.

"Really? I think this method is feasible."

Augla even caught his breath after being praised, and puffed out his chest with a proud look on his face.

"Okay, this credit goes to you. Gather everyone together and get ready to start clearing out the black beast."

"I will handle it."

Augla said as he ran away and went outside to gather all the combat forces above level 4, ready for a carpet cleanup.

However, when Rhode arrived at the newly expanded open space, he found that the little guys had also gathered there in a large crowd, all with excited looks on their faces. If you didn't know better, you would have thought they were going on a picnic.

"Why are you here to join in the fun? We're not going out to play this time."

As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, the guys started chattering and the scene was in chaos. It was obvious that they also wanted to follow him out.

In desperation, Rhode had to say, "You can follow us, but you must be at least level one, and you can't rush to the front of the team. You must obey orders. Do you understand?"

Originally he didn't want to take these guys out, but when he thought about so many black beasts, he felt it would be a waste not to use them to level up the little guys.

So very quickly.

All elemental elves, mountain babies, soul druids, little tree elves, and dragon cubs above level one stood up and joined the mopping-up team.

As for the safety of the forest, it was left to Alpha who was recovering from his injuries, and the tree elves and elves who stayed behind to cultivate the wheat fields.

The mopping-up team consisted of two level-six warriors, Augla and Irene, ten level-five warriors, and thirty level-four warriors. It was completely sufficient to split them into two directions to sweep.

Anyway, most of the black beasts in the Druid Forest are in underground nests, and not many live on the ground.

In addition, with the spread of lantern trees during this period, the remaining ones are basically just some lone high-level black beasts. We just need to get rid of them.

"Okay, let's go!"

Following Rhodes's loud shout, the entire team set off in a mighty manner.

Rhodes rode on Kaba's back and took a group of little guys with them to start their journey of sweeping and gaining experience.

……

the other side.

On the black soil plain.

Compared to the ease and comfort of Rhodes and his companions, the atmosphere in Crescent Canyon was tense at this time, with a large number of refugees pouring into the canyon.

"What's going on recently? Why are so many people fleeing here?"

Brent looked at the crowded human settlement with a frown on his face.

Although the population on the black soil is a resource, the sudden influx of so many people is a bit too much for even them to handle. From time to time, one can hear news of people causing riots and fighting for food.

"I just asked around, and it seems like they escaped from the Giant Tree Alliance."

"It is said that there are several necromancers who rely on their own strength to transform living people into undead. Many people are fleeing there."

Brent's frown deepened when he heard the explanation.

Those necromancers were more unscrupulous than he had imagined, and they didn't care about the lives of others at all.

What if they target Crescent Canyon one day? Wouldn’t they be in trouble?
You have to know that a high-level necromancer can raise an army of undead, let alone so many of them.

"Master Sean!"

At this time, a guard ran over from a distance and whispered to Brent: "We just received news that the Lich Leader has secretly sent people to the Giant Tree Alliance to contact those Undead Mages."

"sure?"

Brent's eyes hardened.

"Sure, several of our scouts saw it." The guard said solemnly, "There is one more thing. Those people who came from Liberty City have also been recruiting a lot of people recently. They said they found a meteorite that can be used to grow food. Many of our people ran over there."

"Okay, don't make it public for now."

Brent's eyes flickered with worry.

Now, not only the Giant Tree Alliance, but even their side has become chaotic because of the increasing number of outsiders, and it is no longer something they can have the final say.

This is just the beginning.

When a larger force arrives, Crescent City will surely be divided up.

If that time really comes, they will be at the mercy of everyone and must find a new way out as soon as possible.

As if in response to Brent's thoughts.

There was a sudden commotion among the crowd in the distance.

The lich leader, who had not been seen for many days, walked into the human settlement with his head held high. Standing beside him was an old undead man covered in a black robe.

The moment he saw the old man, Brent's pupils shrank.

"Sixth level!" The old wizard holding a staff came to his side in an instant, his eyes full of horror.

They never imagined that the Lich Leader would actually get in touch with the Undead Mage of the Giant Tree Alliance, and he was a sixth-level one!

The eerie and terrifying deathly aura made the faces of the people around change drastically, and they all stepped aside.

I just watched them move forward and slowly came to Brent and others.

"Kelsu, what do you mean?"

Brent's face was gloomy as he stared at the lich leader opposite him.

"What do you mean, Brent? You should know it clearly, right?" Kelsu had a creepy smile on his dry face. "Don't worry, considering our cooperation over the years, I won't do anything to you. I just want the meteorite in your hands and the land under your feet."

"impossible!"

"You're dreaming!"

Brent didn't say anything, but several voices of objection came from the side, and a group of human beings glared at Kelsu.

You know, these meteorites are their lifeline, and they got them with great difficulty.

Not to mention the land.

There is only so much land in the canyon, and what they get is pitifully little.

Once they hand it over, they won’t even have a place to grow crops, and they will starve to death. How could they easily agree?

however.

They still underestimated the ruthlessness of the other side.

As soon as the words came out, the black-robed old man opposite suddenly raised his hand, and a breath of death instantly enveloped their feet.

"Quickly open!"

Brent's face changed, he rushed forward and thrust his sword into the ground, but with a bang, he was knocked back several meters by the death energy, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Just a casual attack was enough to make him unable to resist, and his heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

clap clap-

But at this moment, loud applause broke out.

A team walked slowly from a distance, passing through the crowd.

"The Ghost Organization is really clever. They actually sent a level 6 person here. Do they want to monopolize the resources here?"

The person who spoke was a tall man, and although his aura was only at the fifth level, after seeing the badge on his chest, the old man's calm face also showed a slight fluctuation.

"You'd better stay out of our business."

A hoarse and unpleasant voice came out of the old man's mouth, but he did not attack the man, as if he was afraid of something.

"That won't do." The man smiled calmly, his eyes falling on Brent and the others. "They are human like me, how could I stand by and watch them die?"

"Haha, that sounds nice, but aren't there enough fights among you humans? When it comes to selfishness, no one can compare to you." The old man showed disdain.

When it comes to reproductive ability, there are absolutely few races that can compare to the human race.

Even in such an extremely harsh environment as the black soil, their reproduction speed was astonishing, far exceeding that of other races, and they gradually dominated the black soil.

Whenever he changes to another race, he feels that he is truly standing up for his own people.

But as for the human race, he would only think that they were short of food and wanted to trick these people over to be slaughtered like pigs, or they had other purposes.

"You're wrong about that."

Even though his thoughts were exposed, the man still smiled: "I protect their safety, collect some supplies in return, and take over this land by the way. Is this normal?"

These words sounded like a matter of course, but when Brent heard them, his face darkened again.

Taking over their land and collecting their supplies is simply a disguised way of asking for their lives!
really.

These outsiders only care about resources and don't care about their lives at all.

They occupy a piece of land like this. Even if they escape today, they will definitely attract the covetousness of other foreign forces in the future.

"Can't you hold on after all..."

Brent was filled with resentment. He turned around and glanced at his tribesmen behind him, who also had an expression of resentment and anger.

But faced with a sixth-level and several fifth-level ones, they were helpless and could only be slaughtered.

For a while.

The whole scene was tense, with more and more people gathering to watch the show, like a powder keg about to ignite.

"Huh? It's quite lively here~"

Suddenly, a teasing voice broke the silence in the canyon.

Everyone was startled and looked up subconsciously, only to see two succubi appear above the canyon at some point, looking down at them.

The revealing clothes, the coquettish posture, and the voluptuous figure that was about to burst out made the eyes of all the males in the canyon harden.

"Succubus!"

"Why is there a succubus here?"

"Do the demons want to get involved as well?"

"so big!"

There were screams and confusion in the canyon.

The old undead man and the man narrowed their eyes and looked at the two figures who were only at the fourth level.

They didn't understand how such a powerful person dared to disturb them. Aren't they afraid of death?
Only Brent was shocked and vaguely guessed the identities of the two succubi.

When the Giant Tree Alliance encountered an incident, he sent people to gather information and learned the entire process of the incident.

It was all caused by two succubi!
What are they doing here?
Do you want to attack Crescent Canyon like last time?

When Brent thought of the red lantern tree that would attack living things, his face became solemn, and he felt that things were completely out of his control.
