Chapter 235 The Birth of Elemental Wheat
finally.

After Rhodes' instructions, the dragon army set out and began to conduct a carpet cleanup of the Holy Mountain of Elements area.

As for those seventh-order black beasts, for safety reasons, they will be dealt with after Augla and the others come back, so the main cleanup target this time is only the outer area of ​​the holy mountain.

But even so, the huge noise still made the residents in the nearby cities look up and look towards the holy mountain.

"What happened over there?"

"Why does it sound like there is a dragon roar?"

On the street, several teams that had just arrived expressed their doubts. They seemed to have heard a dragon's roar, and not just one.

"What a fuss! They are the dragon clan serving the city lord."

The guard leading the way in front curled his lips and looked at them as if they were country bumpkins.

"The dragon clan?"

Everyone in the team was shocked when they heard this.

Who is the lord of this dream city, to the extent that he can even have the legendary dragon clan serving him?
Just as they were wondering, another escort team hurried over from a distance and shouted to their leader.

"Sixth brother, hurry up, the boss is gathering people and preparing to go over there to wipe out the black beasts. There are resident contribution points!"

"What! There are contribution points?!"

Lao Liu, who was leading the way, jumped up instantly. He no longer had time to introduce anything else. He said a few words to the team behind him and hurriedly ran out of the city.

From a distance, you can still hear their excited discussions.

"Great, my contribution points this time should be enough to buy a third-level magic cannon."

"I'm going to move to a bigger piece of land."

"I heard that there are a lot of new grain seeds recently, so I can..."

The sound gradually faded away, leaving the team members confused, with no idea what was going on.

Then, before they had gone far, they saw an incredibly spectacular scene.

A large number of powerful adventurers flocked in and gathered towards the Holy Mountain of Elements, their eyes full of anxiety.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! I heard that the best performers in this cleanup operation will be given resident qualifications!"

"Hahaha, I've waited so long, and finally a new spot came up. No one can snatch it from me this time!"

"Brothers, please make way. My wife says she doesn't have resident qualifications and won't marry me. Give me a chance!"

Looking at the large group of people running from a distance and passing by them, the expressions of these foreign teams became even more confused.

What on earth had happened to make these people so anxious? There were even quite a few who had reached level five among them. They were just like vicious dogs pouncing on their prey.

Some of them were bigwigs in the base where they had stayed before.

"What happened to them?"

One of them couldn't help but ask.

"I thought I heard them say something about residency."

"It's just a residency qualification, is there any need to get so excited?"

They really couldn't understand these people's behavior.

Those at the low level would be fine, but even the fifth-level bosses are so crazy that those who don’t know would think they are hallucinating.

The entire city area also became bustling because of the cleanup operation on the Holy Mountain of Elements.

When those people received the news and arrived at the Holy Mountain area, they were all stunned by the scene before them.

dragon.

Giant dragons flying in the sky!
The sky above the entire outer area was filled with giant dragons of various colors, and every one of them exuded a terrifying aura.

"Why are there so many dragons?!"

“That adds up to at least hundreds!”

"Level six, many of them are level six!"

“Is this the true strength of the Dream City?”

Everyone stared at the huge creatures with their mouths wide open, shocked beyond words.

They always thought that there were only a few dragons in the Death Forest, but they didn't expect that there were so many hidden here!
Such a force is more than enough to sweep across the entire black land, making the safety factor of Dream City soar in their minds.

"No, I will get the residency permit this time no matter what!"

"Why are you going back to your base? Now is the time to get some qualifications!"

"Go tell the clan leader that I'm not going back!"

"Black Beast, quickly clear the team! Bring in some brave men who don't care about their lives!"

For a time, everyone's enthusiasm for the cleanup reached an unprecedented high, and they formed teams and joined the cleanup.

With their participation, the whole process became much smoother. They began to clear out the black beasts in the outer areas in an orderly manner, while the dragon legion was responsible for the deeper areas.

Because it is the holy land of the dragon clan. Even if it is polluted now, not everyone can enter.

……

"Okay, there shouldn't be any problem."

On the altar, Rhodes looked at the bustling scene in the distance, finally felt relieved, and continued to busy himself with his own affairs.

These days, because he had to travel to various planes to develop believers, he was almost always running around and had little time to take care of the woods.

Fortunately, there are giant war trees in the woods, and with the elves and dark elves watching over them, the seeds planted before are growing well.

The only problem now is that after he reached the fourth level, the experience gained from ordinary crops has obviously become much less, and the upgrade speed has slowed down.

After all, half of the Druid Forest’s food is grown outside, and a batch of food matures every once in a while.

But even so, he only leveled up from level 40 to level 42 in these days.

"Hundred Flower Fruit gives a lot of experience, but unfortunately the germination rate is too low, and the elves need to take care of it, so it can't be planted on a large scale."

While thinking, Rhodes left the altar and went outside.

At this moment, the area around the altar is planted with various plants, which looks lush and green, like a blooming courtyard.

The natural elves flapped their little wings and flew back and forth, watering the plants below, and their laughter and joy echoed everywhere.

From time to time, you can see the spirits of nature shuttling through the woods, playing and playing, and there is a harmonious scene everywhere.

After walking through the planting area and coming out, I could vaguely hear a discussion. The war giant trees and the elves seemed to be discussing what crops to plant on the newly opened land. Because the outermost land was expanded after Rhode was promoted to the fourth level, the forest area was also expanded from the original five kilometers to six kilometers.

It is a difficult problem to decide what to plant in such a large area.

Seeing him coming, the tree spirits said, "Lord Rhodes, I think the wheat and other crops we are planting now are enough to provide seeds for the outside world. There is no need to plant more."

The elves followed suit and said, "Aren't we planning to take back the Holy Mountain of Elements? My suggestion is to plant some crops that are suitable for the environment there, so that by the time they are done we will be ready for harvest."

Are there any crops suitable for the Elemental Holy Mountain area?

That's not a bad idea.

Rhode, who was originally still considering what high-experience crops to get, gradually brightened up and asked, "Do you have any good recommendations?"

"Uh... I haven't thought of that yet."

"We don't seem to have this kind of crop over there...Do you want me to go back and report to Her Majesty the Queen to help find it?"

"Forget it." Rhodes waved his hand, "Let me find a way. You guys reclaim the land first."

"Okay, we'll arrange some personnel right away."

After saying that, the tree spirits and elves began to move.

Rhodes frowned, looking thoughtful.

It must be suitable for surviving in the elemental environment, able to be planted on a large scale, have a high survival rate, a short growth cycle, and be edible. Crops that meet these conditions are difficult to find, and may not even exist.

Unless he can make it himself.

"Hmm? Create it?"

Suddenly, Rhodes stopped.

That’s right, since this thing doesn’t exist, why don’t I just make it?
After figuring this out, he left excitedly and came to the open space of his experimental base. He took out a bunch of different crop samples and materials and placed them in front of him.

"It's you!"

After a quick scan, he selected a stalk of wheat that was about to mature and a piece of flame crystal and placed them together.

Then he raised his arm slightly, and a grafting magic lit up, covering the two objects in front of him.

When the light faded, the roots of the wheat merged with the flame crystal, as if they were growing on the crystal.

Even the wheat on the stalks turned red, like burning torches.

"It's done!"

Rhodes was delighted.

Peeling open a grain of wheat and looking inside, the red wheat had a more fiery aura than before, and its life energy was much richer, many times higher than that of ordinary wheat.

After checking it, he hurriedly planted the new type of wheat in the soil, that is, buried the crystal under the roots, and then began to cast cultivation magic on it.

As the breath of life continued to merge into the ground, several messages popped up in front of him.

[Cultivation successful, experience value +2]

……

[Cultivation successful, experience value +2]

……

[Wheat matures, experience value +4]

4 points!
Looking at the experience information that popped up after the wheat matured, Rhodes was pleasantly surprised.

You have to know that now that ordinary wheat is mature, it only gives him 1 point of experience, and it is double the experience.

Now this grafted wheat directly gives 4 points, which is four times more!
Rhodes couldn't imagine how quickly his level would rise if this kind of wheat was planted in large quantities.

As expected, the fourth-level professional magic is different. He still underestimated the grafting ability.

Immediately pick a handful of wheat and put it into your mouth, tasting it carefully.

"Hmm... the flame energy is a bit thin. Does it require an environment with the same properties?"

Looking at the red and somewhat unclear wheat, Rhodes immediately stood up and went to Alpha's nest.

This area has been transformed by Alpha. It is filled with flame crystals and has a very strong fire energy.

After selecting a location, he followed the same method to plant a nearly mature flame wheat, and then cultivated it to ripen.

[Wheat matures, experience value +5]

really!

Seeing that his experience point had increased by another 1 point, Rhodes knew that his guess was correct.

This kind of elemental wheat grown through grafting is easier to plant and grow in the corresponding elemental environment, and it is most suitable to be planted in the Elemental Holy Mountain.

After coming to this conclusion, he did not waste any more time. He found wheat and elemental crystals of various types and grafted elemental wheat with different properties.

And let the remaining dragon go outside to get a pile of elemental ore and pile it next to the newly reclaimed land outside.

"Master Rhodes, what are you going to do?"

The dryads and elves all gathered around.

"You guys crush these elemental minerals and mix them into the soil, and you'll know soon." After Rhodes gave the order, he sat down next to them and started making grafted wheat.

"This is easy, just leave it to us."

The tree spirits seemed to understand, but they still followed his instructions and mixed the elemental minerals into the soil, and each attribute had its own area, which made the elemental breath of the land become richer.

When they finished their work and looked towards Rhodes, they discovered that there was a large field of half-ripe wheat plants beside him, in various colors, including red, blue, yellow, and green.

"These wheats actually contain elemental aura!"

The dryads and elves were shocked, and even the dragon that helped transport the elemental ores looked as if it had seen a ghost.

Because they discovered that the wheat was actually growing on stones!
"Is this the crop you said you would plant on the holy mountain?"

"Yes, you should plant them according to their properties first. When the first batch of seeds is harvested, the cleaning over there should be almost complete."

"We're here to help too!"

Several giant dragons nearby were almost drooling at the sight of the wheat. This food with special properties was a great tonic for them.

Moreover, it sounds like it will be planted next to their holy mountain, and they can eat it anytime when the yield increases. How can they not be tempted?
They immediately ran over to help knock the stones, and those who had learned shapeshifting from the druids directly transformed into half-dragon form and joined the planting queue.

Even the elemental elves came over to help with watering and fertilizing, and the entire outskirts of the forest were bustling with activity.
