Chapter 27 I will be Lord Rhodes’ dog from now on!
"You seem to be afraid of little things?"

Seeing Augla's reaction to the little thing, Rhodes was a little confused.

"Sir, you didn't say that he has the blood of the tree spirit ancestor. I thought it was just an ordinary newborn cub." Augula said with tears in his eyes.

"You're afraid of him even with your strength?" Rhodes was even more surprised.

“That’s different.” Augla argued loudly, “This is Origin Suppression! Even though I’m at the fourth level now, I don’t dare to attack him, otherwise the elders will tear me apart alive.”

Good guy.

It turned out that he was afraid of being whipped by the elders of the tribe.

But this gave Rhodes some useful news.

"You are at level 4 now?"

"Yes."

Ogula nodded honestly: "All the war giant trees are above level 4, and I am the weakest one in the tribe..."

He actually wanted to emphasize that he was not weak.

But he had just been beaten up by the little thing and he really couldn't open his mouth.

So he could only settle for the next best thing and quickly said, "But don't worry, the elder said that my mission is to protect the forest land, so leave the rough and tiring work like fighting and loosening the soil to me in the future!"

He can no longer be the Chief Minister.

There should be no problem in building a great contribution to forest land, right?

"Can you go outside then?"

Rhodes pointed to the black soil outside.

“I’m afraid that won’t work…” Augla scratched his head. “I’m not in a good condition to resist the erosion of death energy. I can only move around within the altar, unless I advance again and my soul becomes a complete entity.”

Can't go out?
Rhodes felt a little regretful when he heard this.

But the sudden appearance of a powerful fourth-level fighter guarding the altar was a great help to him. At least he no longer had to worry about his house being robbed when he went out.

After all, according to his estimation, the fourth stage is a real level 40 combat power, which is much stronger than him, a half-baked gardener.

The only regret is that the soul body cannot stay away from the main body for a long time in the dream forest, otherwise it will gradually get lost and cannot find the way back to the main body.

"Forget it if you can't get out. Come over and help first."

"Okay~"

Augula shouted and joined the planting team directly.

have to say.

The war tree is really useful.

Even if it is just a soul, it can turn the ground over with a stomp of its feet.

With his joining, Rhodes' reclamation progress became much faster.

In less than half a day, the land within a ten-meter radius around the altar was loosened and the second round of wheat seeds was sown.

Then, with its huge body, it thrust the fence stakes in place like toothpicks, faster than a pile driver.

"It's done!"

After casting the spell on all the seeds, Rhodes finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to look at the little thing and Augla who had fallen down exhausted.

"You've worked hard. Come here and recover."

The soil on the altar is different from ordinary soil.

Although it contains powerful vitality, it is very hard.

Even though he was a fourth-level Augla, he was still exhausted after loosening most of the soil. His originally solid body became illusory and it felt like it would dissipate at any time.

But what puzzled Augla was.

The little creature, which had collapsed into a ball, suddenly got up from the ground after hearing Rhodes say to take a rest, and ran happily to the plantation where Rhodes was.

"Here, this is today's reward."

The little creature took the two black fruits from Rhodes' hand, sat on the ground and started eating them happily.

Until then.

Only then did Augla notice the fruit in his hand and looked surprised.

"Lord Rhodes, how come you have this kind of fruit?"

"I planted it. Do you know what kind of fruit it is?"

Rhodes looked up in confusion.

He always wanted to know what kind of tree it was. After all, it was really weird. Not only were its growing conditions weird, but even its fruit was different from others.

But unfortunately.

Facing his question, Augla shook his head and said, "I don't know. I saw one once when the elves came to find us. It seemed that they used it to exchange for something with the elders. It was very mysterious. I wanted to eat one but was scolded."

As he spoke, he stared at the black fruit in the little thing's hand, as if he wanted to taste it.

The little thing felt his gaze, babbled a few words at him, and quickly ran away with the fruit in its arms, looking as if it was guarding against thieves.

"Hey, would a great Lord Augla steal things from a little brat like you?"

Augula's face darkened, and he felt insulted. But at this moment, a soul raven flew across the sky.

"Gah~gah~"

The loud shouting echoed above the altar, and it sounded like it was mocking him.

Now Augula couldn't sit still anymore.

I got up and wanted to pluck its feathers and make soup.

"Okay, you've been a big help today, so I'll give you two more."

Finally, Rhodes' voice rang out.

Four black fruits were thrown directly over, and then he went into the plantation to continue his inspection.

Augula hurriedly caught the fruit and immediately smiled happily: "Thank you, Lord Rhodes, for the reward!"

Say it.

He didn't forget to show off by waving it in front of the little thing.

Seeing that the little creature turned its back and ignored him, he picked up a fruit and placed it in the palm of his hand to observe it carefully.

"This is!"

Augla was shocked.

He felt an unprecedented breath of life from this black fruit, which was even many times more terrifying than the wheat before.

Just by holding it in his hand, he felt a flow of energy, flowing along his arms and throughout his body, nourishing his soul, and giving him the illusion that his whole body was transparent.

He dared not hesitate any longer and quickly mobilized his magic power to absorb the nutrients from the fruit, transforming them into life energy and integrating them into his body.

Gradually, his expression changed.

Because he found that his body became more solid after absorbing the first fruit.

After he had absorbed all four fruits, the withered yellow leaves on his body began to come alive, and a powerful aura suddenly burst out from him.

"back to normal!"

"My soul has been restored!"

Augula stood up suddenly and looked at his hands in disbelief.

You know, ever since they lost contact with the Dream Forest, the souls of their tree spirits have been weakening, slowly turning into ordinary trees without consciousness, and eventually withering and dying of old age.

Even the strongest dryad warrior in the tribe was not spared.

The only reason he could survive until now was because of the sacrifices summoned by the wizards. Even so, his soul power was still very little, and sooner or later he would follow in the footsteps of his fellow tribesmen.

But now.

Just absorb four fruits.

His soul was replenished, and the effect was many times stronger than those sacrifices!
This was actually planted by Lord Rhodes himself? ?
"Gulu..."

Augla looked at the fruit that the little thing had not finished eating and swallowed.

The hungry look made the little creature feel scared, so it quickly ran away and hid.

"what happened?"

Hearing the noise, Rhodes poked his head out of the plantation with a puzzled look on his face.

It's not his fault. After all, he had just come here not long ago and had no idea whether things were good or bad. It was like he had never eaten rice before. How could he know what fine bran was and what brown rice was? He only knew that black fruit had a better recovery effect.

"Then what..."

Augula bent down and rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Lord Rhodes, can you give me a few more of the fruits you just had?"

"The black fruit you're talking about is gone."

"Ah? Is it gone?"

Augula opened his mouth, feeling a little unsatisfied.

But if you think about it carefully, how could such a precious thing be everywhere?

It would be a great opportunity to get a few.

"Indeed, they are gone. The next batch will take two days to mature. If you like them, I'll give you more. Usually, only the little ones will eat them as snacks."

???

snack?

Augula almost bit off his tongue and felt something explode in his head.

Such a precious thing is actually being used as a snack for this little creature that hasn't even grown a full branch?
What a waste!

What a waste of resources!
The huge gap in treatment made Augula almost cry.

The money I earned by working hard outside and risking my life is not as much as what others earn by digging in the soil here.

It's really like comparing trees to each other, which makes the trees angry to death.

I made a decision.

From now on, I will be Lord Rhodes's dog!
