Chapter 18: Breeding, the Soul of Nature (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Dreamwood.

In the center of the Moon Goddess Altar.

Rhodes had no idea how big a stir his light poke had caused.

him at this time.

He was standing by the Moon Well, looking at the place where the light disappeared, looking a little annoyed.

"Did I poke the firefly to death by using too much force?"

Rhodes swore that he just wanted to touch the ball of light gently to see what kind of firefly it was.

After all, it was hard to see a third living creature other than him and the little thing, so he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Who would have thought of the outcome.

Just poke the firefly to death.

"I really didn't mean it. Brother Firefly, please don't come and seek revenge on me."

He clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction where the ball of light disappeared, and apologized sincerely.

As he was about to get up, suddenly a beam of light gathered and a scroll appeared in front of him, slowly falling from the sky.

This made Rhodes even more confused.

He looked at the scroll, and then at the Druid's Heart that had not been taken away from him.

its not right.

How come I was able to get the things without asking for sacrifices this time?

Could it be that the firefly was taken away as a sacrifice?
There wasn't even a corpse left. I'm afraid the Moon Goddess thought the firefly was rare and took it as a pet.

seem……

This is the only explanation that makes sense.

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, but finally took the scroll and opened it to look at it.

[Obtain entry-level magic scroll (rainfall) x1]

[Rainfall: Guide the magic power, mobilize the water element in the air, and carry out small-scale precipitation at the designated location. ]

Rainfall spell!
Rhodes was delighted.

Sure enough, sincere prayers were useful, and the Moon Goddess really gave him what he needed most.

Although it is only the lowest level of rainfall technique.

But it immediately solved his serious water shortage problem.

"Try it first and see if it works."

Arriving outside the plantation, Rhodes raised his arm and mobilized his magic power to carefully draw the magic circle in front of him according to the magic circle engraved on the scroll.

Not a moment.

Relying on the experience gained from the previous two magic spells, he had drawn most of the magic circle and was only one step away from successfully casting the spell.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.

The magic circle that was almost formed suddenly collapsed and turned into magic power that dissipated into the air.

Failed……

This was the first time that Rhodes encountered a spell failure.

Water magic was indeed much more difficult than the natural magic he was good at, and he felt that there did not seem to be many water elements on the altar.

However, he was very satisfied that he could reach this level for the first time. After a simple recovery, he mobilized his magic power to continue practicing.

The little thing in the distance looked over here curiously, watching the magic circle in front of him constantly building and then collapsing, and also stretched out his little hand, trying to wave it twice in the air.

When he found no response, he ran away in boredom and continued to drive wooden stakes around the altar to make a fence, just like a gopher digging everywhere.

hum-

at this time.

A powerful magical fluctuation appeared.

After failing more than a dozen times, Rhodes finally succeeded in drawing a magic circle. A translucent blue halo appeared in front of his palm, pointing directly in the direction of the plantation.

The next second, there was a loud crash.

A drizzle began to fall over half of the plantation, washing the dirt off the leaves. Even the little creatures working nearby poked their heads out of the dirt pits.

When he saw it raining in the plantation, he screamed and ran under a small tree, jumping happily.

"It's done!"

Rod was overjoyed.

As my feet stepped on the moist ground, a refreshing feeling instantly surged through my body, like a sudden sense of relief after a period of rest, or like eating a Wallace after being constipated for several days.

He almost couldn't hold back a groan.

Now he finally understood why plants needed water so much.

"Come again!"

After saying that, Rhodes cast the spell again.

Rainfall spells gathered in the sky.

The crops that were originally in a sluggish state have been reborn under the irrigation of rain, and their branches have straightened up.

[Cultivation successful, experience value +1]

……

[Cultivation successful, experience value +1]

...in just half an hour.

Rhodes' experience increased by two points.

Although the acquisition speed is slower than the cultivation magic, the range of Rainfall is larger.

Water several plants at once.

The cumulative effect cannot be ignored.

"It's just right. We can start planting wheat."

He did not forget his previous plan to stockpile food.

After watering all the plants, he came to the wheat plant that had already produced golden ears and carefully collected the seeds.

[Crop harvest, experience value +3]

Damn it?

3 experience points? ?

Rhodes was startled by the sudden prompt message and quickly glanced at the panel. His experience points had indeed increased.

【Demonized Tree Spirit lv5】

[Experience value: 17/50]

obviously.

Experience gained is calculated based on the planting progress.

The cultivation process is one level, the seed germination is one level, and the crop harvest is one level.

And there are also differences between plants.

When watering large plants, experience is gained significantly faster, but the maturity period is long. He has picked so many fruits but has never seen any experience increase. Ordinary plants win by quantity, which is most obvious during the harvest.

Doesn't that mean.

If he had enough seeds and a magic harvester, he could exploit the bug to level up?
"good idea."

"Let's build a magic harvester when we have the chance."

Rhodes folded his arms, thinking seriously.

Then he took the collected seeds and went to the field that he had cultivated while practicing with the whip and began to sow seeds.

Seeing this, the little creatures that were absorbing water in the plantation also ran over to help and dug trenches under his command.

The two tree elves, one big and one small, worked hard for a whole morning before they finally planted all the seeds.

And cast rain to ensure the germination rate.

period.

Rhodes tried it again.

Use nurturing magic to enhance your rainfall spell.

But it failed.

Because rainwater cannot cultivate plants, it cannot be used, so he can only water the fields one by one, which makes him very tired.

In the end, he could only lie down beside the Moon Well.

Drink a sip of spring water and lie down to recover.

"Yeah!"

I do not know how long it has been.

The little thing's cry came.

Rhodes looked up and saw it standing next to the mutant tree, pointing anxiously at it, as if it had discovered something incredible, but was too afraid to get close.

"What's wrong? Are there bugs on the tree?"

Rhodes stood up and walked over, looking at the small tree in the direction it was pointing.

Oops.

On a small tree full of fruits.

I don't know when a strange flower bud appeared.

It was flickering with a faint light, like a light bulb that was about to explode.

The little creature stamped its feet anxiously, thinking that it was a bug that was harming the tree. It pulled out its spear and poked the flower bud, then quickly ran away and hid behind Rhodes.

"It scares you."

Rhodes glanced at it speechlessly, then looked at the flower bud again and observed it closely.

"It doesn't look like..."

Snapped!
The words were not finished.

The bulging flower bud suddenly exploded.

A ghost-like ball of white light floated out and quickly shuttled through the plantation.

The sharp-eyed Rhodes immediately noticed the flight path of the white light ball, which seemed to be circling around the plants and would not leave too far.

ghost?

wrong.

It seems like a soul.

This is actually a soul body formed entirely from spiritual energy!
