Chapter 184 If you work hard, you may become a purple chicken
Rhodes knew that foreign souls could not stay in the Dream Forest for long.
Even if people like Augula Ilin and the others had the support of a fully restored tree god statue, they could only stay there for a few days before having to return to their main body to rest.
Otherwise, if you stay in the Dream Forest for too long, you will lose the connection with your true body, which will also be a big burden on your soul.
Therefore, relying on their people to manage the city is not a long-term solution.
"Then what should we do? Use the new residents?" Yilin asked puzzledly.
"Yes, now that the city construction is basically on the right track, shouldn't we keep so many local residents to give birth? Just capture a few trustworthy ones and bring them over."
Rhode only intended to use Augla and Alpha as a force of deterrence in the city. There was no need for him to do everything himself.
Minor matters like internal strife and fights can be resolved by the residents themselves.
All he had to do was to select a few representatives to lead the residents and maintain basic order in the city.
To put it bluntly, he just wants to be a hands-off boss.
This Moon Goddess is very busy. I am busy growing vegetables, raising children and revitalizing the natural race every day. How can I have the time to care about your nonsense?
"Then I'll pick two trustworthy people to come over?" Augula said eagerly.
After spending a long time with Rhodes, he gradually began to like the feeling of being behind the scenes and making plans.
Nothing else, just handsome!
As the eldest brother, he just needs to let his younger brothers do the work.
"Go ahead, bring them over here so I can see them."
Rhodes waved his hand and continued to study the changes after his upgrade.
Seeing this, Augla quickly turned around and left, rushing to the city base outside.
After some questioning, he called in Brent and Lothar, who were working under his command.
"You two follow me, Lord Rhodes wants to see you."
"Lord Rhodes... wants to see us?!"
Hearing Augla's words, Brent and Lothar, who were still confused, were shocked, and even the busy people around them looked over.
The whole audience was silent, all in disbelief.
"What's wrong? Who is this Lord Rhodes?"
The newcomer looked puzzled and asked in a low voice.
It's just a name, how could it make them react like this?
"You don't understand, that's the title of the city lord!"
A person next to him said without turning his head, his eyes full of shock.
You must know that since they came here, they have never seen the true face of the city lord, and they are forbidden to approach the place where the city lord lives.
But now.
But he suddenly said he wanted to meet their leader, how could they not be surprised.
As for the newcomers who heard about this for the first time, there was a commotion, wondering what kind of existence could build such an amazing city.
"Does the Lord really want to see us?"
At this time, Brent and Losa finally reacted and opened their mouths wide.
"Stop talking nonsense and just follow me."
Augla was very satisfied with these two younger brothers. They had helped him share a lot of work recently, so the first people he thought of were them.
After being scolded by him, Brent and Lothar finally came to their senses and hurriedly followed his footsteps, heading deeper into the forest, leaving behind the crowd who were talking about the matter.
This was the first time they were allowed to go deep into the forest, so they were inevitably curious.
Not to mention Brent and the other two, who were already extremely nervous at this moment.
Following behind Augla, his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
"Why do you think that person called us over here?" Brent couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"I don't know either." Losa tried to calm down his emotions. "Our princess once mentioned that he was a very kind person. Maybe he had something to tell her? Or did we do something bad?"
Brent rolled his eyes at him and stopped talking.
They followed Augla and looked around, a place they had never been to before.
He soon made a shocking discovery.
As they went deeper, the pollution under their feet became more and more serious, madly swallowing up everything around them. In the end, even their sight seemed to be sucked in.
If it weren't for the meteorite that Augla carried with him to disperse the black soil, they would probably have been sucked dry in an instant.
Even if those with weak strength carry meteorites, they probably cannot sustain such a huge energy consumption. Not everyone can set foot here. No wonder they are forbidden to approach here.
At this moment.
The two finally understood why there was such a ban.
As I felt nervous, I also became more and more curious about what kind of person the city lord was and how he could live in such a horrible place.
While they were thinking, the dead trees in front of them gradually became sparse, and they actually passed through the forest and came to an open land.
"what happened?"
"The depths of the Death Forest are actually empty?"
Brent and Lothar looked at each other. A 1.8-meter-tall sturdy man and a 2-meter-tall burly demon were like two well-behaved little chickens, following Augla silently.
I don’t know how long it took.
Just when they all thought they had taken the wrong path, a ray of light finally appeared above the horizon at the end of their sight, and a lush forest gradually came into view.
and many more.
woodland?!
The two were startled and looked in disbelief at the woods that were getting closer and closer, and the figures walking back and forth in it.
In the deepest part of the Forest of Death, there is actually a vibrant woodland!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought they were hallucinating.
After rubbing their eyes vigorously and confirming that it was true, they were all stunned.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and walk."
Augura's urging came from the front. Brent and Lothar woke up instantly and hurried to catch up, finally passing through the black soil and arriving outside the forest that looked like a holy land of life.
Look up.
They were stunned by what they saw.
Dragon!
Gigantic dragons soared over the forest, and their terrifying aura made it almost impossible for them to breathe.
In the woods not far away, several giant war trees pulled out their roots, shook off the dirt on their bodies, and slowly went to the distant pond to replenish water.
The aura he exudes is only stronger than theirs!
Even the elves tending the plantations in the open space at the other end frightened them.
Not to mention the elemental elves and soul creatures scattered everywhere, which were far beyond their imagination!
"This……"
The two stood there in shock, unable to describe what they saw in words.
"Lord Rhodes, I brought the person here."
Augla shouted inside and asked the two to wait outside for the time being, to avoid being like the guy who broke in without permission last time and had his consciousness wiped out.
"Let them try to stay outside the woodland first."
A response came from deep in the woods.
Brent and the other man only felt a buzzing in their heads, as if a sound exploded in their minds, and their whole bodies became tense.
They knew very well that the terrifying existence was currently in this forest.
But although they were only separated by a thin line, they felt as if they were in two different worlds. A palpitation that came from the soul surged into their hearts, making them hesitate to step into the woods.
Augula naturally knew the reason and looked at them teasingly from inside the boundary.
"This is Lord Rhodes' test for you. Come on, little devil. Your broiler prince can come in easily."
Because Aina has the blood of the demon royal family, the purity of her soul is much higher than that of other members of the tribe, and she can step into the woodland outside the altar.
But this is not necessarily the case for these two guys.
Although you need to be stronger, you can't just enter here because of your strength.
"Can Her Highness Aina come in?"
Hearing this, Lothar gritted his teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to lift his left foot and step into the woods.
boom!
A terrifying mental pressure swept over him, as if the entire world was pressing down on him, making his face turn pale in an instant. The lava demon's burly body was shaking violently, and hideous cracks appeared on his body.
It's like it will explode at any moment.
Brent, who was standing next to him, was startled and immediately retracted his arm that he had just stretched out.
"How are you?" he asked worriedly.
"I... am fine." Lothar answered with difficulty. He used all his strength to pull his foot back and lay on the ground gasping for breath. His movement was even more exaggerated than when he was fighting two succubi alone.
so horrible.
Just by stepping in, he felt like he was about to die. Is this really a place where people can live?
"Strange, why did your wings turn purple?"
Suddenly, Brent noticed the changes in his body and cried out in surprise.
"What did you say? Purple?!"
Upon hearing this, Losa, who was still gasping for breath, suddenly got up from the ground and turned his head to look at his wings. Sure enough, the tip of the tail had turned from red to purple, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"what happened?"
Brent was surprised to see his dramatic reaction.
But before Lothar could answer, Augla's teasing voice came: "Congratulations, little devil, you have awakened part of the royal bloodline, although it's not much, if you work hard, you may be able to evolve into a purple broiler."
Royal blood!
Brent was shocked to hear this.
Although he didn't know much about the demon clan, he knew what royal bloodline represented. It was a symbol of the demon clan's supreme power and a symbol of status.
Especially since Lothar had told him before that a demon without royal blood could only reach level five at best in his lifetime.
But if you have royal blood, even just a little bit, you have the opportunity to enter the ranks of the sixth level.
That’s the huge difference!
so.
This guy only persisted in there for a short while, but he awakened to a higher level of bloodline?
hiss~
Brent gasped.
When Losa came back to his senses, he was extremely excited, and his gaze towards the forest in front of him finally changed.
"Okay, you guys stay here today."
Seeing that there was no problem, Augla inserted the meteorite in his hand into the ground, leaving enough space for the two to move around, then turned around and left to report.
Brent and Augla looked at each other, and finally stopped hesitating and stepped into the woods again.
"Ugh..."
"It hurts so much... I feel like my body... is about to break apart."
Brent, who tried it for the first time, finally understood why Losa was in so much pain just now.
He felt as if his soul was being torn apart and suppressed. Everything in his sight was rapidly getting bigger. Even a slight breeze could make him so upset that he almost fainted.
With great difficulty, they managed to free themselves from the woods and lay on the ground gasping for breath, their chests heaving violently.
At the same time, the breath of life in the forest escaped, repairing their broken bodies.
Lothar glanced at his wings and his brows lit up with joy.
"There's more purple, I've really awakened my royal bloodline!"
There hasn't been a royal bloodline in the Lava Demon lineage for many years. You can imagine how excited he is now.
Even Brent, who had just entered once, felt that the purity of his soul had increased a lot, his sword skills had become extremely smooth, and his strength showed signs of increasing again.
This made them even more excited and they started trying hard outside the woods.
