Chapter 236 The Secret of Moon Lake
[Level upgrade, lv42→lv43]

……

The cultivation of elemental wheat went very smoothly.

In just two days, Rhodes had harvested the first batch of seeds and also upgraded to a higher level.

"Not bad, not bad. If we sow another round, there should be enough seeds for the outer areas of the Holy Mountain."

Rhodes looked at the wheat fields of different colors and was very satisfied.

He also didn't expect that the quality of the wheat grafted with the elemental crystal would improve so much, almost catching up with the hundred-fruit quality.

You should know that the hundred-flower fruit is a rare plant of the elves, and it is many levels higher than ordinary crops.

Now that he has this much experience and high-yielding crops, he should be able to protect himself within half a year.

"Let's try some other varieties of grafted crops."

After a round of inspection, Rhodes returned to the open space and continued to study grafted varieties such as cabbage, soybeans and sweet potatoes.

It was not until near noon that a wind dragon suddenly flew back from the direction of the Holy Mountain of Elements.

"Lord Rhodes, we have already dealt with the seventh-level black beast in the Moon Pond. The clan leader wants to ask if you would like to go over and take a look."

"Did they clear the place so quickly? Were there any casualties?"

Rhodes stopped what he was doing, surprised.

It has only been less than three days, and the team sent out has already advanced to the Moon Lake. I am afraid that in two days, the entire holy mountain area will be cleared.

"There are no casualties. This morning, Chief Alpha and his men came to help. They easily dealt with the two black beasts. They said there seemed to be something hidden in the Moon Pond, so they asked me to come back and ask."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go and take a look!"

When Rhodes took back the Dragon God's Mark before, he felt that there was something wrong with the two seventh-level black water dragon beasts. It seemed that they were guarding something, which allowed them to escape so easily.

Now that the black beast has been eliminated, of course we have to go over and take a look.

So soon, he flew away from the altar on the back of the wind dragon and hurried towards the Holy Mountain of Elements.

When they arrived at the edge of the Moon Lake, they saw the members of the Water Dragon Clan gathering around the corpses of the two black beasts that the Water Dragon elders had transformed into, mourning and bidding farewell.

Because Moon Lake has always been guarded by their water dragons, when the forest was polluted, it was these two elders who stayed behind to cover their retreat and buy them time to escape.

Now that they have returned again, the two elders have become like this, causing all the giant water dragons to roar towards the sky, and the sound echoed over the Moon Lake for a long time.

It's like seeing off the departed soul.

Rhodes did not disturb them, but came to Alpha and Fatty and saw the hideous wounds on their bodies at a glance.

There were even many big pits and claw marks on the edge of the lake, and the water in the lake evaporated a lot. It was obvious that this battle was not easy.

"Take this to heal your wounds first."

Rhodes took out two bottles of Moon Spring and handed them one by one.

"Thank you, Lord Rhodes."

Alpha and Fatty did not refuse. They took the Moon Spring and drank it all. The wounds on their bodies began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only after he had almost recovered did Alpha finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"The elder is worthy of being an elder. Even if he turns into a black beast, his combat power is still terrifying."

"Yes, they are guardians worthy of admiration!"

Even the fat guy who was usually nonchalant showed a serious look.

"You are right. When I return this time, I will reward the Water Dragon Clan on behalf of the Moon Goddess." Rhodes nodded in agreement.

At least when it comes to loyalty, the dragon clan is truly impeccable and they will protect the forest until their death.

Then he looked towards the center of the lake: "You said they were guarding something, do you know what it is?"

"You'll know when you go and take a look."

Alpha motioned for him to sit on his back, then took off in a gust of howling wind and arrived above the giant dragon statue in the middle of the lake.

As the water level dropped, the platform where the statue's base was located emerged from the water, revealing a small crescent-shaped platform.

There is a groove on the table, which is surrounded by a black and green alternating barrier, so it is impossible to see what is inside.

But since it is something that the Water Dragon Elder turned into a black beast to guard, and it can be preserved in the polluted lake water for so long, it must not be an ordinary thing.

"Have you tried to open the barrier?"

Landing on the platform, Rhodes asked.

"I tried, but it won't open."

Alpha and Fatty shook their heads.

Rhodes was shocked when he heard that, he couldn't even open the seventh level, what level was this barrier?

Thinking of this, he came to the stage and looked around.

The barrier above was very strange, with black and green intertwined, a bit like the sky in the dream forest.

He reached out and touched it gently, and a circle of ripples spread out on the barrier, a bit like bubbles, but it did not break.

"what?"

Rhodes let out a light exclamation, and he found that the sky above the Dream Forest was actually rippling with waves. The ripples were not very obvious, but they were exactly the same as the barrier in front of him.

Could it be that……

Is this thing somehow connected to the Dream Forest?

“It’s actually a barrier built on the basis of the entire Dream Forest!”

Alpha also noticed the changes in the sky, and raised its huge dragon head in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the fat man smacked his lips and said, "No wonder even we can't break the barrier. This must have been set up by Lord Moon God himself!"

"Established by the Moon God?"

Rhodes was shocked. Only the Moon Goddess could mobilize the power of the entire Dream Forest.

So this thing was placed here by the Moon Goddess before the disaster happened?

What kind of thing could make a main god take it so seriously?
"I remember now!" Alpha's eyes suddenly widened. "Three hundred and twenty-five years ago, the Moon God did come to Moon Lake once. He had just returned from the outside world at that time and seemed to have given something to the Dragon God. Could this be the reason?"

"Three hundred and twenty-five years ago?"

Rhodes was stunned. The last digit was the same as his age in his previous life. What a coincidence.

"Did the Moon Goddess say anything else at that time?"

"I don't know." Alpha shook his head. "The Moon Goddess left in a hurry at that time. She left not long after she arrived. We could only watch from afar."

"so……"

Rhodes looked at the barrier and pondered it in his mind.

Three hundred and twenty-five years ago, before the disaster happened, the Moon Goddess was still in the woods.

If this thing was really put down at that time, and it seemed so important, why wasn't it taken away later?

Even if the Moon Goddess was unable to get out in time, the Dragon God should have had time, otherwise he would not have been able to bring the surviving tribesmen to the Kingdom of the Sky.

Unless even the Dragon God can't open this barrier.

"Look at the colors here, do they look like the two kinds of divine powers of Lady Moon Goddess?" the fat man suddenly said.

"You know what, it looks quite similar. Could it be the key to opening the barrier?" Alpha said, looking at Rhodes standing aside.

Rhodes naturally understood what he meant. He didn't say anything, but simply stretched out his hand, and two forces, one black and one green, slowly merged into the barrier.

next second.

A strange situation occurred.

The originally chaotic and entangled barrier suddenly separated quickly, becoming half black and half green, like two unrelated hemispheres.

Then, the junction between the two cracked and slowly fell to both sides.

"It's really open!"

Alpha and Fatty's eyes widened as they stared at the interior of the barrier, wanting to know what on earth could make the Moon Goddess attach so much importance to it.

however.

When they saw it clearly, they were all stunned.

"what is this?"

"A ball?"

That's right!

What appeared in front of them at this moment was not something incredible, but an ordinary, plain-looking transparent sphere, not even as big as an adult's fist.

If there is anything special about it, it is that there are many white spots of light inside the sphere, densely spread all over the sphere.

Especially in the center, there are the most light spots gathered, which looks like a small whirlpool, which is quite delicate.

This reminded Rhodes of something in his previous life.

Glass beads...

"That's it?"

Rhodes picked up the sphere and looked at it from left to right. There was nothing else except this thing.

He even began to doubt whether the Dragon God had been tricked by the Moon Goddess at that time.

wrong.

Suddenly, Rhodes realized something was wrong.

He was unable to see the information of this sphere.

In other words.

Is this sphere alive and conscious?
But it doesn’t look like it, does it?

Rhodes took the sphere in his hand and examined it carefully. Alpha and the other two also transformed into half-dragon forms and came over to take a look.

After a while, they looked at each other in confusion, obviously unable to see any difference.

"It's so serious, it shouldn't be an ordinary thing."

Even though their Lord Moon God had a somewhat...eccentric personality, he wouldn't joke about such things.

"Could it be that our level is too low to see it? For example, it is the seeds of some plant. Doesn't Lord Moon God like to run around and collect seeds the most?"

"Seeds? That's really possible!"

Rhodes' eyes lit up. Since it had life consciousness, it should be a kind of life. Maybe he could really grow it.

Anyway, he has seen all kinds of weird plants, the Sky Fruit, the Mountain Giant, the Lantern Tree, which one looks normal?

Not much more than this one.

"Okay, let's go back and study it slowly."

As Rhodes spoke, he planned to put the sphere into the space ring.

As a result, as soon as I put it in, I felt a strong sense of rejection. I couldn't put it into the ring at all. I stood there in a daze.

"what happened?"

Alpha asked doubtfully, and the fat man also looked over.

"This is so weird. I can't put this thing into the space ring." Rhodes tried a few more times, but it was difficult to even get close to it, let alone put it in.

"Can't fit in? I remember that only things with life consciousness can't fit into the space props, right? This thing doesn't look like it has life consciousness at all."

Even seeds can be placed directly into the space ring before they germinate and grow into higher natural life.

And how can a seed have consciousness?

If this is not the case, then there is only one possibility.

The space contained by the things put in is at a higher level than the space in the ring!
But this is just a fist-sized sphere, and it doesn't look like a space prop at all.

How can the spatial level be higher than the ring?
