Chapter 195 How can it be so short!

In just two days.

The news that the Death Forest was shrouded in a barrier spread around the Black Soil Plain.

When they learned that there was not only sufficient food inside but also that their strength could be improved quickly, more and more people rushed here with their families, and in a blink of an eye the population in the city base soared to more than 10,000.

Coupled with the souls that moved in from Terrasill intermittently, the entire base suddenly became lively and gradually began to take shape as a city.

And with the base as the center, it was built out in all directions.

With more buildings and previous planning, streets began to appear in the central area.

Residents who have excess food spontaneously set up stalls on the street, or simply converted their own houses into shops, exchanging food for various supplies and selling the materials they had obtained from killing black beasts.

The lively scene and the wide variety of trading items stunned the outsiders who had just arrived from other places.

“It’s actually true. There are so many people selling food!”

“Is the food here so abundant?”

"Look at their yard, there are so many cabbages!"

"Hi~ It's true!"

From the moment they entered the city, the exclamations of those outsiders never stopped, like a group of country bumpkins entering the city.

The earliest residents who moved in had basically obtained household registration and land at this time, and had all settled down here.

Because of the food shortage, the most common crop they planted in the yard was not wheat, but cabbage, which has the shortest growth cycle. Just as the harvest time was these few days, they sold the excess.

Where had those outsiders and adventure teams ever seen so much food displayed so openly?
Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened and they almost couldn't help but pounce on it to snatch it.

However, before they could take action, a group of powerful patrol teams passed by. Each team had at least one fourth-level leader, and the others were all above third-level. They were so scared that they quickly gave up their evil thoughts.

But even so.

With the influx of a large population, there are still many troublemakers.

On the street not far away, a fourth-level human with a ferocious look on his face kicked over the stall in front of him.

"I want to buy your food because I think highly of you. Don't be so shameless!"

The sound of the stall collapsing immediately attracted the attention of residents and passers-by, and they all looked over there.

I saw a father and son falling to the ground, and the food on the stall was scattered everywhere.

"Father!"

The boy quickly helped his father to his feet and glared at the man.

"You clearly wanted to exchange our food for a bunch of junk, and you fired us when we refused to sell it. How could you do this?"

The boy's angry curse attracted a large number of onlookers, who pointed at the man.

The man didn't care. Even if the patrol team cared about the two ordinary people who weren't even at the first level, they would definitely give him some face. At most, they would just pay some compensation to keep the peace.

Isn't this also the case in other bases?

Thinking of this, he became even more arrogant, and snorted coldly: "I must buy your food today, even if you don't want to sell it to me!"

"Oh? Then what are you going to exchange for it? Your own life?"

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded.

The huge figure fell down and appeared behind the man with a rumble.

Lothar smiled.

He was just thinking about how to pick someone to make an example of and scare these outsiders, but he didn't expect that someone would come to him so soon.

The man, on the other hand, was startled by the sudden feeling of oppression. Before he could even react, a hot slap hit his head and lifted him up.

hiss--

There was a sound of gasps from the crowd, and they all looked in horror at the burly figure falling from the sky, and the half-purple, half-red wings.

"Lava Demon!"

"And it's level five!"

"It's actually the purple wings that symbolize the demon royal family!"

"Didn't they say that the royal family of the lava demons has become extinct?!"

Hearing the exclamations all around, the man finally reacted and looked in horror at the tall demon behind him that was a size larger than himself.

He swallowed and put on a flattering smile.

"I……"

"Bully the city residents and turn them into food."

Without giving him a chance to speak, Losa exerted force with his palm, crushed the man's skull with a snap, and then threw it into the sky.

Puff puff puff~
Dense gargoyles swarmed in and instantly wrapped the man inside, from which his screams and pleas for mercy could be heard continuously.

After a few breaths, the gargoyles dispersed, and the sky was empty. Not even a bone was left. Where was the man?

Gollum~
The sounds of swallowing came and went.

At this moment, the outsiders finally remembered what those people had said to them when they first entered the city.

“Don’t bully the residents here, especially those with signs on their chests, or you will regret it.”

At first, they thought it was just a joke, but the result was far beyond their expectations.

The administrator of this city would actually kill a fourth-level person for an ordinary resident!
At the same time as they were horrified, their eyes became jealous and they stared at the resident badges on the chests of the father and son.

"Do you know how to get resident status here?"

“Resident status can bring such high preferential treatment!”

"It seems I have to get one quickly."

"Huh? Where are the people? Why did you all run away?!"

The crowd dispersed and all went to inquire about how to obtain resident status, causing the registration area to be overcrowded and become the busiest place in the entire city.

The other busiest place is the street leading to the entrance of the druid's lair.

With the arrival of adventure teams and traveling merchants, it has become a commercial center. The sounds of hawking and team formation are endless. They all plan to go into the nest to get more soul crystals, moon stones or various precious materials to exchange for food from the residents here.

Unknowingly.

The entire city has been put on track and has become the most popular place in the entire Black Earth Plain and its surrounding settlements.

But this made the dark elves suffer. They had lived well in the depths of their nests, and could come out from time to time to earn some extra money in exchange for food.

As a result, when that group of people came, it became difficult for them to go out casually. Finally, the great elder finally moved all the tribesmen and found Rhodes.

"Haha, I told you to move out as soon as possible. How can it be more comfortable to stay in such a dangerous place than in the forest?"

Seeing the Great Elder and his men carrying a lot of bags and looking dusty, Augla smiled unkindly.

"It's all because of you. You insisted on building a trade center next to the entrance of the nest, making us feel uneasy inside." The great elder glared at him.

I have already made up my mind. When the elder of the tree spirit clan comes, I will make sure to have him hang this guy up and give him a few beatings.

"Alright, alright." Rhodes quickly tried to smooth things over. "It's better to move out. It's too dangerous to stay inside all the time. The forest expanded a few days ago. You can find a suitable place to settle down."

After the fourth mark was activated, the range of the forest had expanded to five kilometers, leaving plenty of room for them to settle down.

The Great Elder and his men all moved here, which just solved his manpower problem and saved him from having to ask the Dragon Clan to come over to help with farming.

Those guys either sleep or cause trouble all day long. A hard stomping of their feet can cause the ground to crack, and a handful of seeds can be crushed in half. It's good enough that they don't waste food.

"What about the Moon Stone? We won't be able to collect Moon Stones after we move out." Suramar asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter. I've thought of a better way. There are plenty of people to help me collect them."

Rhodes smiled slightly and looked in the direction of the Druid Forest.

He asked Augla to establish a trade center not just to promote trade, but also to attract adventure teams.

With so many ready-made laborers, are you still worried that you won’t be able to exchange for the Moon Stone from them?

soon.

The dark elves were settled, and they found a place to settle down near where Erin and her family lived and began to build wooden houses.

After arranging everything, Rhodes was not idle. He returned to the altar to study the changes in the Well of the Moon.

Because he discovered that since the Dream Weaver Statue was activated, the connection between the Moon Goddess Statue and the outside world seemed to have become stronger, and a lot of spiritual energy suddenly emerged.

The places where he could project his mind were no longer limited to the Elf Empire and the countries where the previous believers were located, but seemed to extend to farther places.

For example, now above the Moon Well, a transparent spiritual aura floating there caught his attention.

Yes.

It's transparent.

Logically speaking, the colorless spiritual aura should not belong to the believers of any god, but now it appears here, which is a bit unbelievable.

If he didn't have spiritual perception, he might not have been able to discover such a weak connection, so he paid special attention to it.

"How about... go over and take a look?"

Muttering, Rhodes finally made up his mind and began to try to communicate with that spiritual energy.

Swish!
The scene spins.

In the blink of an eye, he followed the connection and appeared on a piece of charred land.

Rhodes was shocked when he saw the familiar scenes around him.

"Isn't this... the world in the memory of the Dream Weaver?"

That's right!

Although some places are different, the gray land is extremely similar. It seems to be the plane that the Moon Goddess and the Dream Weaver had visited, or a similar plane.

"So, I have come to another dimension?"

Rhodes looked around in surprise, and finally his eyes fell on himself, but he was shocked.

Unlike the idols and totems he had imagined, the object he was possessed by at the moment was actually a spider demon, a spider demon that looked exactly like the offspring of the Weaver!

What's even more outrageous is that this spider demon is still alive, as if he had taken over its body.

"Ah this..."

"Is it because of its low intelligence? Or is it because of its connection with the Dream Weaver?"

Rhodes seemed to understand why the spider demon's spiritual aura was so weak, yet it appeared on the Moon Goddess altar.

Perhaps it was because of the reshaping of the Dream Weaver statue that it had a slight connection, which also confirmed his previous guess.

The Dream Weaver really came from another dimension.

Perhaps this is the greatest reward of retrieving the Dreamweaver's mark!
"Another dimension? I wonder what kind of world it would be."

This was the first time that Rhodes' consciousness descended upon something that could move, other than the Elf Empire.

I just don't know if there are any restrictions on the range of activities.

Thinking of this, Rhodes controlled the spider demon's body and walked towards the distance with his hands and feet together.

He staggered so much that even he cried because of his own stupidity.

"Shit! It turns out that it's so difficult for multi-legged creatures to walk!"

Rhodes never thought that one day he would be possessed by the thing he feared the most. He really didn't know how to describe that wonderful feeling.

Fortunately, he had a good understanding and quickly adapted to the spider demon's way of walking, running happily on the gray ground.

As a result, I hadn't even run two or three kilometers.

Snapped!
Contact lost.

His consciousness returned to the altar, and the whole tree stood there in a daze.

"what?"

What the hell...

This range is even shorter than the Elf Empire!
Is it because the statue has not been completely restored?
Rhodes turned his head and looked at the Dream Weaver statue not far away. Compared with the other three statues, it was indeed the one with the most serious damage.

It seems that he needs to get some more Moon Stones to repair it. He also wants to see more of what is inside that plane. Maybe if he is lucky, he can get some treasures back.

After thinking about it, Rhodes stood up and left the altar, going to find Augla to ask about the construction progress of the trade center.

at the same time.

On the gray land where the spider demon is.

A team of horse-drawn carriages drove slowly past the place where Rhodes had just disappeared, and immediately saw the spider demon standing there stupidly.

"Strange, how could there be a spider demon in a place like this?"
