Chapter 69 Water Source, Natural Barrier

Dreamwood.

On the altar of the moon goddess.

Rhodes, who had transmitted the Thorn Guard magic to Little Nature, was waiting patiently beside the Moon Well.

Just as he expected.

In less than half an hour, the amount of water in the Moon Well increased dramatically. Although not as exaggerated as last time, it was almost equivalent to a day's amount, enough for him to drink a few sips.

“Sure enough, there is a difference between believers and believers.”

Look at people.

This is called a believer.

One person represents the faith of a bunch of people. Aren't you gentlemen ashamed?

Rhodes suddenly felt that he needed to develop a few more fanatics, otherwise he would not be able to generate much faith by relying on those weak-willed guys who just wanted to get something for free.

The strongest beliefs often come from suffering.

Only by lending a helping hand during their darkest hours can you gain rewards far beyond what you have given.

Because those who are in despair sometimes don't need much help.

Maybe just a word of comfort or a word of affirmation can give new life to the straw that keeps them alive.

"so……"

“Where can I find such believers?”

Rhodes sat beside the Moon Well and pondered.

With his current strength, he could run up to people and say: Hey, come and believe in the Moon Goddess.

I’m afraid I’ll be considered a psychopath.

Because according to Augula, those believers now think that the Moon God is dead.

There are almost no people who have persisted until now and have not abandoned their faith, otherwise it would not have declined so quickly.

"Bah! A bunch of weak-willed fellows."

When the Moon Goddess was here, I prayed to the gods for blessings, please give me strength.

As a result, the Moon Goddess was gone, and the next thing he did was to change his faith. It was even faster than getting rid of the spare tire.

Since we can't rely on anyone outside.

Then we can only consider the Black Soil World first.

There should be many living species around the altar. I have to find an opportunity to contact them.

Anyway, the third wave of wheat will mature soon. In addition to supplying the tree spirits and leaving some seeds, there should be some left, which can be considered for developing believers.

The only thing we need to note is that these races have been able to survive on the black soil for three hundred years without dying, so they must be very powerful.

We need to make better preparations.

"Let's go out and take a look after this black moon."

Rhodes made a decision immediately.

After taking a look at the Moon Well and seeing no movement, he turned and left, continuing to cast a spell to water the wheat fields that were about to mature.

however.

He soon discovered another problem.

As the wheat fields continued to expand, he had to cast spells by himself, speeding up the cultivation, increasing the harvest, and ensuring rain, and he might not be able to finish all the work in a day.

This is only the previous range of twenty meters.

Now the land has expanded to fifty meters outside, surrounding the altar. If he plants crops all over it, he won't be able to take care of it.

"It seems that we need to solve the water problem as soon as possible."

Rhodes glanced at the rain above and murmured.

The rainfall spell he had mastered was still at the entry-level level. The rainfall range was pitifully small. Often he had to cast the rainfall spell more than a dozen times on a wheat field. Even if he had a lot of magic power, it could not withstand the consumption.

Just right.

Except for the direction of the druid's nest, he has not explored other directions. When the time comes, he will go and see if there is any water source nearby, and check if there is any danger.

Think of this.

He returned to the altar.

Prepare some things you need for going out and put them in the space ring.

……

The night passed quickly.

At dawn the next day, Augla's soul returned to the forest.

After briefly explaining some things to him, Rhodes took the little thing with him and rushed out of the altar.

This time, the target he chose to explore was in the opposite direction of the druid's nest.

Because there were no lantern trees spreading over, he was very careful along the way, keeping an eye on his surroundings, and the little thing was also ready to fight at any time. Gradually.

Two figures, one big and one small, left the altar behind and stepped into a silent place where resentful spirits were dancing.

"Why is it so quiet?"

"Yeah?"

Rhodes and the little thing walked forward while looking around in confusion.

Apart from the black spirit floating in the air, he didn't see any moving thing, let alone the black beast.

Logically speaking, the terrain here is flat, with sandy and gravelly ground underfoot, so there should be a lot of black beasts gathering here.

But looking around, there was nothing but emptiness, and from time to time you would step on some plant debris, which made a crisp crackling sound.

at last.

After walking for another ten minutes.

A huge forest shadow appeared in the distance, and twisted and entangled plant corpses began to appear around it, dozens or hundreds of meters high.

There are also giant withered flowers and leaves on it, which looks like a giant vine leading to heaven in a fairy tale.

“Is there a forest here too?”

Looking at the forest getting closer and closer, Rhodes frowned.

He now had some doubts as to whether the entire Moon Goddess Altar was surrounded by forests. If he wanted to leave the altar and go outside, he would have to go through the forest.

It looks like a restriction, but also like a defensive barrier.

The previous druid's lair was one of the barriers leading to the outside.

In other words.

There is also a barrier in this direction!
"Boom——"

As if in response to Rhodes's guess, a loud noise suddenly came from the forest in the distance, and the whole earth began to shake slightly.

"Yeah!"

The little thing screamed.

Rhodes' face also changed. He quickly hid beside a giant plant and looked in the direction of the sound.

In the distant forest, a huge creature several times larger than Augla came out, pushing aside the vines.

Every step.

The entire ground shook.

Finally, I arrived at a lake outside the forest and sat down slowly.

【Mountain Giant lv32】

Level three!

The black beast of the giant clan!
Rhodes and the little thing's eyes widened instantly, shocked by the scene before them.

He now finally understood why the area was so quiet and why the plants were so big.

It turns out that this is where the mountain giants once lived!

"No, the lake!"

“There’s actually a lake here!”

Suddenly, Rhodes reacted and looked at the lake in front of the mountain giant with surprise and joy. It was located right on the outskirts of the forest.

A small river flows out from the depths, dividing the entire forest into two halves, and finally converges into a large lake outside the forest. There are many strange piles of stones piled on the edge of the lake.

It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

Isn't this the water source he has been looking for?
only……

"This third-level black beast is not easy to deal with. It would be great if Augla could come over."

Looking at the huge monster that was dozens of meters tall sitting on the ground, Rhodes felt guilty. If they were discovered, the two of them would be in trouble.

On one side is a druid's nest filled with black beasts, and on the other side is a mountain giant who can kill them with a single slap. What kind of dangerous place is this Moon Goddess Altar?

No wonder Aina was the only demon to come here after all this time.

If you are unlucky, you will probably die on the road.

It seems that I have to go back and ask Augla first to see if he knows any news about the mountain giants.

"Hey, what is it doing?"

At this time, Rhodes discovered something unusual again and couldn't help but look into the distance.

The giant sitting on the mountain by the lake raised his hands to the sky in a pious prayer posture.

Although his body was clearly filled with black energy, he did not feel any hostility at all. He was like an ordinary stone giant, completely fixed there.

If you don't look closely.

You can't even tell the difference between it and the scattered stone pestles next to it.
