Chapter 58 News about the Second Demigod
Early the next morning.

Rhodes, Aina, and the little thing were fully prepared. They stood at the edge of the altar and finally began their in-depth operation.

And Augula, who had entered the woods through his soul long ago, came to see them off.

"Lord Rhodes, do you really want to take this purple chicken with you? They are very insidious."

At this time, Augla had already learned about Aina, but his attitude did not change much. Instead, he stared at Aina with a vigilant look.

In his opinion.

This purple broiler must have used some trick to deceive the kind-hearted Lord Rhodes, and ended up staying on the altar.

As the second guardian of the forest, he must eliminate this hidden danger!

"Don't worry, I've asked her to swear a soul oath, and nothing will happen." Rhodes knew his concerns and comforted him.

"Soul oath?"

Augla was stunned, and looked at Aina in surprise: "The cunning purple chicken actually made a soul oath? Is your brain broken? Or did you use charm to deceive Lord Rhodes?"

You're out of your mind!

Ina rolled her eyes.

Do you think I haven't tried using charms?
It’s of no use at all!
The dryads must have some hidden talent that makes them completely immune to charms.

That's right.

It must be so.

Ina found a reason for herself in her heart and immediately felt much better.

He ignored Augla and walked straight outside.

"Okay, it's time for us to set off. Augla, you keep watch and don't let the black beast get in."

After that, Rhodes set off with the little thing, quickly following Aina's footsteps.

As Aina had entered the druid's lair before, the task of leading the way was naturally given to her, so she walked directly in front.

Until then.

Rhodes just discovered it.

When Aina walked on the black soil, the corrosive aura of the black soil seemed to be unable to sense her presence and there was no fluctuation at all.

On the other hand, under his feet, countless black tentacles surrounded him. The scene was like a strong man entering a village of widows.

"This is the talent of our Night Demon clan. We can walk in the shadows and avoid all perception. However, it consumes a lot of energy. We have to move quickly."

As if she had guessed his thoughts, Aina suddenly spoke.

She didn't look back.

His expression was somewhat smug.

Because she could feel that Rhodes's eyes were wandering over her, and he was not disguising it at all.

Look, look.

Slowly fall into my beauty.

The corners of Ina's mouth curled up slightly, and even her walking posture became head held high and chest puffed out, like an excited rooster.

until……

"Is this tail of yours natural or was it inserted somewhere?"

Rhodes' inquiring voice sounded, and he was seen lowering his head, staring at the tail shaking left and right with a look of surprise on his face.

Aina froze in her tracks, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she turned back and glared at him fiercely: "Born!"

After saying this, he suddenly increased his speed, leaving Rhodes far behind.

Rhodes looked at the little thing on his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"What happened to her? Are there any relatives coming?"

"Yeah?"

The little thing was less than one year old and didn’t understand what the word “relatives” meant at all. He tilted his head and tried hard to think.

soon.

They sped up to catch up with Aina. The two sides continued to move forward, and finally arrived at the outskirts of the Druid's Nest Forest ten minutes later.

From a distance, one could see a familiar white fluorescence, which covered almost the entire edge of the forest, a change from the previous deep darkness.

"This is... the Lantern Tree! It has spread here!"

Now Aina no longer cared about being angry and said in shock.

Even Rhodes himself did not expect that in just a few days, the outskirts of the Black Forest had been occupied by lantern trees. Looking from afar, they looked like rows of street lamps. In the future, the Black Forest would probably have to be renamed the White Forest.

"It's much faster than I expected. It seems that many black beasts have been infected and parasitized recently."

"That's good. At least we won't encounter too many obstacles. What we need to pay attention to are those high-level black beasts. They are not so easy to kill."

"Okay, you lead the way, and the little one will provide support. If you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, just run away. I'll hold them back."

Soon, a detailed division of labor fell on them.

Under the leadership of Aina, the two trees and one demon plunged into the forest and headed straight for the canyon where the druid's lair was located.

along the way.

Almost every few hundred meters, Rhodes could see a cluster of blooming lantern trees, some large and some small, as well as many black beast corpses and lantern tree seeds that had not completely dissipated.

He collected some and followed closely behind Ina.

After narrowly avoiding several groups of black beasts, he finally reached the top of the canyon when half of his magic power was consumed.

"arrive."

Aina reminded in a low voice.

But when she looked into the canyon through the gap, she couldn't help but gasp.

Lantern tree.

Densely packed lantern trees.

They are almost spread throughout the entire canyon, illuminating the entrances of all the nests and caves in the canyon, making it look like a large dance party.

"so much?"

Even Rhodes was shocked, and truly witnessed the powerful spreading ability of the Lantern Tree.

can not imagine.

If this plant could react to living things, it would be a terrifying existence.

Research!

Must study carefully!

Let’s see if we can create this mutant lantern tree.

It would be best if he could listen to him and attack the enemy.

When the time comes, if you see someone you don't like, just throw a few lantern tree seeds in there, and it will instantly turn into a light party scene.

"We're lucky. The black beasts on the periphery have been cleared out, but they haven't spread to the nest yet. Be careful of those hiding in the nest."

Aina had a serious expression on her face, her eyes constantly scanning the interior of the canyon. After all, this was a matter of life and death for the tribe members, so she did not dare to be careless.

"What do you think?" Rhodes asked.

“See that biggest hole?”

Aina pointed to an arch-shaped cave at the deepest part of the canyon. "That's the real entrance to the Druid's Lair. If I'm right, there should be a lot of Moon God Stones inside. But the chances of encountering high-level black beasts will also be higher. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not."

"What is the highest level?"

"Level 3." Aina thought for a moment and said, "This is just one of the outermost entrances to the Druid's Lair. It's not very large, so the highest level should not exceed Level 3."

“Isn’t this too big?”

Rhodes was a little stunned.

The entrance to this canyon alone is already so large, what would the scene be like deep inside the real druid's lair? An underground kingdom?
"if not?"

Aina turned around and rolled her eyes at him. "In the deepest part of the Druid's Lair, there is one of the four demigods who are said to guard the Dream Forest. The Archdruid is guarding it, and it is protected by a barrier all year round. Ordinary people can't get in at all."

"And judging from the current situation, the deepest part of the druid's nest has probably been occupied by fifth-level or even sixth-level black beasts. We would be sending ourselves to death if we go there."
