Chapter 263 The Accidental Discovery of the Crystal Tree
Five days flew by.
After reaching level 6, Rhodes cultivated seeds and learned magic at the same time, and finally learned all the more useful magic.
What satisfied him most was the elemental summoning magic. Each system could summon an elemental giant, which was a high-level magic for summoning professions.
The second is various defensive auxiliary magics, such as the earth-based Earth Guardian, the nature-based Rain of Grace, and the ice-based Freeze.
The last part is attack magic. I only learned a few of them. The key is to just assist and do the supporting role.
Why do it yourself when you can summon the creature?
"Well, these magics should be enough for now."
After finishing a day's routine exercises, Rhodes began to get busy in the woods.
After a few days of construction, more than half of the area in the Giant Forest has been developed, and the demand for seeds is very great.
Especially twin vines and various grain seeds.
When they learned that they didn't need to build houses and that grain production was higher than other places, many residents spontaneously ran to the Giant Forest to get their own house seeds.
As long as they wait for the twin vines to grow to maturity and then ask the dwarf people to help transform and stabilize it, they will have their own house, saving a lot of effort in collecting materials to build the house.
When the dwarfs heard that they could exchange food for renovating their houses, they immediately moved into the Giant Forest with their families. Every time you went there, you could see a busy scene.
Also because of them, the construction progress of the Giant Forest is much faster than expected, and it is almost reaching the center.
"Lord Rhodes!"
At this moment, a shout came from a distance.
Augula, who was in charge of supervising the construction work, hurried back from the forest.
"What happened?"
Rhodes stopped casting and asked.
"No, we have now advanced to the center of the forest. I want to ask what to do with the sky tree. Should we just cut it down?"
The sky tree in the center of the Giant Forest can almost be regarded as the largest plant in the entire dream forest. It is a pity that it has been contaminated by black soil, leaving only its ruins standing there.
If it is cut down rashly, the huge plant will collapse and probably cause a lot of trouble.
Augla and the others didn't dare to make a decision easily, so they could only come here to ask.
"The Sky Tree?"
Rhodes looked up in the direction of the Giant Forest and could vaguely see a shadow towering above the earth.
To be honest, it would be a pity to just cut down such a big plant. It would be great if it could be revived.
"Let's go and take a look first."
After shaking off the dirt on his body, Rhodes called Kaba who was playing and rushed towards the Giant Forest.
When they passed the newly cultivated area and came to the center of the forest, they saw the Mountain Clan and the War Tree gathered around the Sky Tree in deep thought. Little Stone and the Giant King Uldaman were among them.
After all, it is the sacred tree for the mountain clan to worship. The ancestors have poured their efforts into it, so they naturally don’t want it to be destroyed.
Seeing Rhodes arriving, he immediately came forward to greet him.
"Lord Rhodes, do you have any way to save it?"
"Let me try it first."
Rhodes jumped off Kaba's back, came to the bottom of the sky tree, and looked at it carefully.
Although this giant vine has been polluted for three hundred years, the roots underneath have not decayed and are still well preserved.
Plus, when he reached the top before, there was still a part that was not contaminated, so maybe it could be saved.
Think about it.
Rhodes flipped through the space ring, took out a bottle of Moon Spring, and tried to drip a few drops onto the rhizome.
Swish!
The moment the Moon Spring touched the rhizome, it was directly absorbed into it, just like dripping into a sponge.
"There's a show!"
Ogula and Uldaman's eyes lit up, and they all gathered together, staring at the rhizome.
Rhodes stood in front of them, like a tiny creature, and if you didn't look closely you wouldn't even notice his presence.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no reaction from the roots and rhizomes, as if nothing had happened.
"How could this be?"
Everyone frowned.
You know, that is the holy water of life. One drop is enough to make them recover instantly. It can even dispel the black soil completely. But it can't dispel the pollution on the sky tree?
"Is he really dead?" Augula said sarcastically.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with the giants' rolling eyes, and Little Stone even kicked his bark hard.
During this period, he and other friends came here often to compete in climbing the Sky Tree, and they even dug a hole underneath as a secret base. If it were really gone, they would probably cry for several days.
The little ones following him also put their hands in their pockets, with worried faces. Some even ran up and touched the roots of the Sky Tree with their hands, as if to say, "Get well soon."
"Yeah ah!"
The little creature ran to Rhodes and took out his treasured black fruit and a small bottle of Moon Spring that Rhodes had hidden for him to save his life. He wanted Rhodes to feed this to the Sky Tree as well.
"Put it away first. I still have some."
Rhodes naturally knew that the little guys were reluctant to leave, so he continued to search in the space ring, intending to try other things.
Just as he was taking something, a yellow crystal fell from the ring to the ground and landed next to the roots of the sky tree. "This is..."
"Branches of the mother tree!"
Uldaman and other giants were shocked and recognized at a glance that it was a branch of the Crystal Tree, the mother tree that gave birth to their mountain giants.
What they didn’t expect was that when the branches of the mother tree touched the ground, a miracle happened!
I saw that the gray color of the land began to fade rapidly, and even the roots of the sky trees rooted on it were polluted and dissipated, and the emerald green color spread upwards little by little.
The only downside is that the conversion speed is a bit slow.
But even so, everyone was still excited.
"Really alive!"
“This thing works!”
Even Rhodes didn't expect that something that couldn't be saved by the Moon Spring would actually react to the branches of the crystal tree.
Doesn't that mean that as long as we plant a crystal tree here, the sky tree will slowly recover?
Thinking of this, Rhodes walked around the rhizome and soon noticed the underground base dug by Xiao Shitou and the others, and walked straight in.
When they passed through the cave and looked inside, they were shocked to see that the spacious cave was filled with all kinds of toys, including some magical gadgets he had made for them when he was bored.
No wonder I haven’t seen the little guys these days. It turns out they came here to play.
However, this place is right below the Sky Tree and is spacious enough, making it perfect for planting crystal trees.
After walking around and coming to the center, Rhodes took out the crystal tree branch he had cut off before, buried it in the soil, dripped a few drops of Moon Spring on it, and then began to cast cultivation magic on the ground.
The little ones who followed in immediately surrounded them when they saw this, looking at them nervously and worriedly, while Augla and the others waited outside.
Half an hour later.
With a puff, a cluster of yellow crystals broke out of the ground, and the excited cheers of the little ones could be heard from inside the cave.
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
Augla and the others asked hurriedly, because they could only stand outside and worry because of its huge size.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long, and the roots of the sky tree gave them the answer.
The roots that had been eroded and decayed by the black soil began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. The vibrant green spread rapidly upwards with the cave as the center.
In the cave, a half-human-high crystal bouquet slowly grew, constantly changing the soil around it and attracting earth elements from all directions.
"Sure enough."
Looking at the changes in the sky tree, Rhodes stopped casting the spell.
The little ones cheered happily and circled around the new crystal tree.
I don’t know if it’s because the Sky Tree has recovered or because there’s a new toy in the secret base.
When the giants outside, such as Uldaman, learned about the situation inside, they could no longer sit still.
When I thought about the giant mother tree growing here, I wanted to gather all the tribesmen immediately to surround this place and protect it.
at the same time.
There was also a commotion outside the forest.
Many people clearly felt that the growth rate of plants in the Giant Forest had increased a lot, and waves of energy were spreading out from the center of the forest.
"What happened over there?"
Outside the Holy Mountain of Elements.
A group of foreign souls who were on pilgrimage raised their heads and looked towards the giant forest not far away.
The two areas were originally adjacent to each other, so any movement could be discovered immediately. These foreign souls could naturally see the residents rapidly gathering there, and even a number of giants.
It’s a pity that the Giant Forest is connected to a swamp area, which is filled with thick miasma all year round.
Even if these foreign souls wanted to go over and find out what was going on, they couldn't hold on and could only stay on the black soil plain, scratching their heads, not knowing what had happened in the dream forest.
"Have you felt that the spiritual level of the Dream Forest has been getting higher and higher recently?"
A human mage whispered in the crowd.
"It has indeed gotten higher. I feel like my spirits are improving at a much faster rate." Another person spoke up shortly after.
All of a sudden, all the souls started talking, discussing the recent changes in the Dream Forest.
For example, someone stayed in the depths of the Dream Forest for a day and successfully advanced to a fifth-level wizard.
For example, a genius in the empire, after meditating in the woods, finally succeeded in casting a forbidden spell and was recruited by the imperial army.
With the revival of the Dream Forest, a wave of magic has emerged in various places, and a large number of magical geniuses and high-level magicians have gradually emerged.
Especially those adventure groups and caravans.
When I took the magician on a mission for the first time, I found that the magician could not only provide them with shields to defend against attacks, but also use various long-range magic to restrain the enemy and help teammates heal their injuries. He is simply an all-round helper.
Feeling the huge improvement that magicians brought to the team, they finally changed their minds about this group and began to recruit magician members in large numbers.
The employment status of magicians suddenly soared, and more people flocked to this emerging profession.
And just then.
A piece of news that shocked the wizarding world suddenly spread among wizards.
Someone has successfully entered the holy mountain area!
