Chapter 44 Purple Chicken
Rhodes almost laughed at what Augla said.

No matter who you say is bad, you have to say that the masochistic little tree is the tree of life.

What is the Tree of Life?
Demi god!

A terrifying existence that controls the origin of life!
Just by looking at the statue standing next to it, you can imagine how magnificent its original body would be. At least it would not be a small tree that is only a few meters high.

What's more, the mark of the tree god is still floating on the altar, and there is no different reaction from it to the masochistic little tree.

And he has more than one tree.

"Uh... maybe... the elder made a mistake... he said he wasn't sure, so he asked me to confirm it."

Being laughed at by Rhodes, Augla felt very anxious.

After all, the elder once said that the aura on the leaves was too weak, and it was not necessarily the Tree of Life. It might be that it was contaminated with the aura of Lord Silas by chance.

Anyway, the message has been delivered.

He didn't dare run into the plantation to confirm.

If he accidentally stepped on the flowers and plants inside, he would never be able to stay with Lord Rhodes again.

wow~
The sound of leaves swaying could be heard.

The small tree in the distance seemed to have heard their conversation, and its branches and leaves swayed gently, but soon fell silent again.

……

the other side.

The druid's nest is dozens of kilometers away.

After resting, Aina was now standing outside the cave wearing a ghost mask, looking in the direction opposite the druid's nest.

"Aina, do you really want to go over there?"

"It's too dangerous over there, should we give up?"

"Yes, Your Highness. That was once the center of the Dream Forest. There might be some danger there."

A chorus of persuasions came from the mouths of the demons, all with worried expressions on their faces.

Not long ago.

They sensed a powerful energy fluctuation that erupted dozens of kilometers away, causing almost all the black beasts in the surrounding area to become agitated.

If the energy had not disappeared quickly enough, they couldn't imagine what consequences would have been caused.

"No, I have to go this time!"

In front of the team, Aina, who was dressed in her own gear, was determined: "It is precisely because this is the central area that I want to go and take a look. If we can find more food or Luna Stone, then everyone will have a better chance of survival."

"But……"

The subordinate next to her wanted to say something, but seeing how determined Aina was, she couldn't say it in the end.

"Protect the people."

Throwing down a few words, Aina jumped off the huge rock in front of the cave entrance and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards the center of the woods.

And every step she took was as if she was standing on a shadow, completely avoiding the erosion of the black soil.

but.

It is not difficult to see from her slightly sweaty face that it is not easy to maintain this state.

So she was very fast. She rushed out of the volcanic area in almost the blink of an eye and swam quickly along the erupting fire.

After running for nearly half a day, Aina finally went deep into the boundless black land and came to the outskirts of the familiar forest.

"It's right across the street..."

This place is already very close to the center. As long as we go through this forest, we will reach the core area on the opposite side. Danger can be said to be everywhere.

If she hadn't been looking for the Moon Stone, she wouldn't have risked her life to come here.

But this time.

For the safety of the people.

She had no choice but to take the risk and once again break into this place known as the Land of Death, and directly turned into a shadow and flew into it.

however.

Aina still underestimated the danger of this area.

Or maybe she was just lucky last time as she happened to encounter a collective sacrifice of black beasts.

Even though they tried their best to stay at the edge of the forest, they still encountered a large number of black beasts blocking their way, and battles of all sizes continued.
Various wounds began to appear on her body, and she could only grit her teeth and persevere, like a walker in the night.

Flying quickly in the darkness.

……

"Monster! Look at me, I am entangled in a group!"

Somewhere on the outskirts of the Black Forest.

A shout full of middle school atmosphere rang out.

Rod, who had handed the altar to Augla to guard, had come outside with the little thing and was trying out his newly acquired magic.

And opposite him.

It was actually a corrupted owl beast that had reached the first level.

"Goo~Goo~"

The owl let out two sharp cries, and its short and fat wings lifted above its head, condensing a black moon shadow above it, and a ray of scorching moonlight descended towards Rhodes.

"WC you black beast actually know magic, you have no martial ethics!"

Rhodes quickly dodged.

The black moonlight pierced a deep pit where he was standing, which scared him.

But he is not a vegetarian either.

As he raised his hand, two magic circles appeared, and several vines rushed out from under the owl beast's feet, instantly tying it up.

at the same time.

The little creature, which had been waiting for a long time, suddenly jumped down from the tree, and the short spear in its hand pierced the owl beast's forehead, killing it instantly on the spot.

"Not bad."

"First-level magic is indeed different."

Seeing that he could kill a first-level black beast so easily, Rhodes was delighted. It was worth it for him to choose the magic of "Harvest".

After cleaning up the owl beast's corpse, he looked at the little thing and said, "Let's go, take the wood with us. It's time to go back and rest."

This time, Rhodes did not rush into the canyon full of black beasts, but deliberately avoided it and continued forward in another direction, so he did not encounter any danger.

Carrying the wood, he followed the same route and easily made it back to the outside of the altar.

However, what Rhodes did not expect was.

As soon as they stepped onto the altar, Augla hurried over.

"Lord Rhodes! Something terrible has happened! Come and have a look! Here... here is a purple chicken!"

Augla was out of breath and pulled Rhodes to the other side of the altar.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, what purple chicken?"

Rhode was confused before he could react. Didn't I ask you to look after the house? Why did a chicken suddenly appear?

"It's really a broiler! Come and see for yourself!"

Augla was dancing with joy, so Rhodes had to put down the wood and follow him to the open space on the other side. He saw the little guys gathered in a circle, seemingly watching something.

Are there really broiler chickens?

Rhodes swallowed his saliva. He really liked eating chicken. Could there be uncontaminated pheasants in a place like this?
With this expectation, he quickened his pace and was outside the encirclement in a blink of an eye.

When he looked inside, he found a bruised and battered figure lying on the ground. Big Bear was pushing it gently with his paw, as if he was curious about what it was.

And on the face of that figure, there was half a familiar ghost mask.

"Are you sure... this is a broiler?"

Rhodes turned around and looked at Augla with a strange expression.

"Yeah, isn't this a purple broiler?"

Augula answered naively and glanced at the figure as if to confirm. Although it was covered in blood, the wings behind it were indeed purple.

You bastard, chicken.

This is clearly a demon, okay?

And it was the same one he had seen in the canyon before!
