Chapter 43 The Tree of Life? That's it?
"Despicable creature? How do you say that?"

Hearing what Augla said, Rhodes became interested.

After all, it was the first time he had seen a demon, and he wondered if it would be cool to catch one and bring it with him.

Unexpectedly.

Augula's face suddenly turned red when he heard this: "You don't know, the last time I was summoned, I encountered those despicable creatures."

"Those guys with flesh on their bodies who called themselves succubi actually tried to seduce me with their beauty. They didn't even realize who I am, Augla, a great warrior of the Dryad clan! I tore their spiritual projections into pieces right on the spot!"

Rhodes: "..."

Good guy.

What a great hunk.

He can even do things like tearing a succubus apart with his bare hands.

wrong.

Augla is a tree spirit.

In the eyes of dryads, thriving and majestic trees are the embodiment of beauty, and succubi with flesh and blood are nothing more than animals.

Being enchanted by a succubus is just like an animal in heat. No wonder this guy looks so unhappy.

It is estimated that those succubi would never have thought that the charm they were so proud of would fail due to racial differences.

"What else? Are there any other demons besides succubi?"

"There should be, right?"

Augla looked like he was reminiscing. "I feel like all those demons look similar. There is one kind that has more flesh and is stronger, and looks bigger. It has good fighting ability, but I beat them all down."

"..."

Rhodes was speechless again.

So you describe other races only by looking at how much flesh they have and how big their physique is?
really.

The species barrier is huge.

Just like how humans look at other animals, you have no idea which animal is considered beautiful and which is ugly in the group, and you can only rely on your own aesthetic judgment.

This is why you may think that an animal is cute and beautiful, but it may not be popular among its own tribe.

However, judging from Augla's description, those with larger bodies and stronger combat capabilities should be the orthodox demon clan, and belong to a different branch from the succubus.

If you say so.

The figure he had seen in the druid's lair before was most likely a demon.

The only thing he couldn't understand was why there were demons in the dream forest. Aren't demons said to advocate destruction and killing? This was completely contrary to the concept of nurturing life in the dream forest.

"Lord Rhodes, why do you suddenly ask this? Did you encounter a demon outside?" Augula suddenly reacted and asked.

"Well, I encountered it once, but I'm not sure if it's true, so I came to ask you."

"These damn purple broilers actually ran into the territory of our natural race!?"

Now Augla was completely furious.

He had encountered those demons many times when he was summoned over the years.

Although he won most of the time, he hated the opponent's fire that could burn trees, and each battle would consume a lot of his soul power.

Moreover, the fierce-looking demons seemed to be more popular with the ants. Every time a sacrificial array was established, demons would be summoned first, causing him to often lose business.

Ahhhhh!
I'm so angry!
Doesn’t the War Tree look ferocious?

Why do you have to summon those purple chickens every time?

The more Augula thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could kick these short-sighted guys a couple of times to teach them a lesson.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business."

Rhode interrupted and brought the topic back to the topic: "From your reaction, does that mean that demons generally don't live in forests?"

"Of course." Augula snorted twice. "We yearn for peace, and they seek destruction. There is no way we can get along."

"I see. In that case, the demon I saw earlier might not be a native resident of the forest." "That's not necessarily true. I heard from the elders that the Moon God is a... uh, very enlightened monarch who likes to raise some strange things in the dream forest. It's not impossible for a demon to appear."

"..."

Weird things?

Rhode looked strange, and then he heard Augla say: "It is said that the Dream Forest is very vast. Various races and souls once lived there. It is almost like a world."

The meaning is obvious.

There is such a dream monarch.

Nothing is strange in the black soil world.

to here.

Rhodes finally understood his own situation and became more and more curious about the black earth world outside.

It just so happened that he had now been promoted to the first level and possessed sufficient self-protection capabilities. Together with the little creature of the same first level, he could go and see further.

"Yeah!"

"Gah!"

At this time, the little ones who were playing nearby also noticed Augula's arrival and gathered around him.

Especially the small stuff.

Since the last battle, I have regarded the big guy Augla as a friend, and I was sad for a long time when he left.

Now seeing Augla again, he cheered with joy and pulled him to the wheat field, as if he wanted to let him see the results of the planting during this period.

Augula took a quick look and saw so many new faces on the altar in just a few days.

He felt that his position was threatened, so he started boasting about how he had guarded the woods before, completely forgetting what the elder had told him.

Seeing that he was unable to get away for the moment, Rhodes ignored him and went to the vicinity of the altar to check the situation alone.

It was not until then that he discovered that the surrounding black soil had retreated from the original ten-meter range to twenty meters, leaving a large piece of clean land.

"Is this... because of my advancement? Or is it because there are more elemental spirits?"

Rhodes was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that his advancement would have such a big impact.

After making a round and estimating the area, he called Augula and the others to start harvesting the ripe wheat and then continued sowing.

Eventually, all the second round of wheat seeds were planted, leaving a small area around the plantation for cultivating other plants and daily activities.

"Okay, once this batch of wheat matures, you can start supplying it to your people to absorb and use to restore soul damage."

"That's great!"

Augula was overjoyed when he heard this.

Many of his fellow tribesmen are now in a half-asleep state and may fall into permanent sleep at any time.

If this batch of wheat could provide life energy, they would definitely be able to recover and escape the crisis of extinction!

"correct."

At this time, Augula finally remembered what the elder had told him, and suddenly looked at the tallest tree in the plantation:

"The elder told me that the leaves you used to give me water last time, Lord Rhodes, seemed to be leaves from the Tree of Life. Is this true?"

"The Tree of Life? You mean it?"

Rhode was startled and pointed at the masochistic little tree with an expression as weird as it could be.

joke.

It is the tree of life.

Then I am the Moon God.

If you move the plants next to it away, it will wither. Have you ever seen such a lousy tree of life?
