Chapter 86: The Gathering Place in the Black Soil (Subscription Request)
With the addition of the black dragon baby Kaba.

The entire Moon Goddess Altar became lively again.

Soon the little guys were playing together and running around all over the plantation.

Originally, Rhodes wanted to study the black dragon bloodline more, but not long after, a large group of elemental black beasts surrounded him, and the entire ground shook.

"Is it over yet?"

Rhodes glanced at the black moon in the sky. It still showed no sign of dissipating. Instead, it became darker as the night deepened.

It was like a giant eye in the abyss, looking down at the black earth below. Even the souls of the dead black beasts could not suppress it.

If it weren't for the statue made of Moon God Stone next to them, their souls would probably have been torn apart and taken away.

"It seems that there is no way to rest tonight. I will take over first. Lord Rhodes, please be careful."

As Augla spoke, he rushed out of the altar and headed straight for the surging army of black beasts.

The little ones stopped playing too.

They all came over to offer support.

Together with the Thorn Guards summoned by Rhodes, a defense line was formed around Augla, temporarily blocking the first wave of attacks.

Seeing this, Rhodes hurriedly took out the lantern seeds he had collected when fighting the flower demon from his space ring and poured them onto the ground.

"Come on, come on, come and help throw them!"

At a call, all the little ones gathered together, picked up the lantern seeds and threw them out with all their might.

Even Kaba, the newborn black dragon baby who had no means of attack, came to join in the fun, grabbing a seed with his claws and looking at it from left to right.

As soon as its nose got close, a bunch of wriggling tentacles stretched out from under the seed, scaring it so much that it threw the seed away, and it landed precisely among the group of black beasts outside.

"Roar--"

The roars came one after another.

With the hard work of the little ones.

In the blink of an eye, lantern trees rose up among the entire army of black beasts, and the entire scene was in chaos.

One of the second-level earth dragons that was parasitized by the seeds broke through the defense line and rushed towards the altar.

"Lord Rhodes, be careful!"

Augla turned back hastily, but because he was delayed by other black beasts, he could only watch the earth dragon approach Rhodes.

The dragon scale spikes that looked like rocks, coupled with its huge body, made it look like a heavy tank, and the feeling of oppression was overwhelming.

【Corrupted Earth Dragon lv22】

"Yeah!"

The little thing yelled.

He drew out his short spear, activated the bark protection and rushed forward.

The other little guys also turned their spearheads, and their colorful long-range attacks landed on the Earth Dragon, but they could only have a slowing effect.

Rhodes' face darkened slightly. He raised his hand and two magic circles of harvest and life shield were quickly constructed, giving the little thing four layers of shield.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

The earth dragon's huge claws slapped the little thing.

The huge impact force instantly shattered three layers of shields, and it was stopped just when a crack appeared on the fourth layer of shield, which made Rhodes sweat.

The little creature used this huge force to raise the short spear high and inserted it directly into the earth dragon's claws.

"Ow—"

The earth dragon stepped back in pain and slapped the little thing away.

Under the double damage of the Lantern Seed and the Branch of Life, the black energy all over his body became a little more illusory, and the momentum of the second level dropped.

good chance!
Rhodes's eyes narrowed.

He raised his hand again, and cast the Cultivation Magic and the Thorn Guard at the same time. With a loud bang, a thick vine rushed out of the ground.

However, his magic power did not stop as he continued to cultivate the Thorn Guard. In a blink of an eye, the vines, which were as thick as thighs, grew to the size that could be hugged by one person.

"Take my whip!"

With a loud shout, a giant vine that was like a pillar of heaven suddenly fell down, smashing the earth dragon's head to the ground, and the entire ground sank.

This is not over yet.

The giant vine guards seemed to have taken stimulants and lashed the earth dragon's body frantically, leaving it with no power to fight back.

"Hurry up and fix it, little thing!"

Seeing that the earth dragon was about to die, Rhodes shouted towards the front.

The little thing that was knocked away also quickly got up, and under the fire suppression of Rhodes and a group of little guys, the short spear was inserted fiercely into the earth dragon's head.

"Ow!!!"

The earth-shaking roar echoed in all directions.

The second-level earth dragon, which was so aggressive just now, fell to the ground unwillingly, and its soul power turned into flowing light and merged into the body of the little creature.

"Not advanced yet?"

Rhodes was stunned, looking at the little thing that hadn't changed much.

Obviously, with the black moon in the sky, the amount of soul power that the little thing can absorb is very limited, and it cannot allow it to reach the second level so quickly.

But it is worth being happy about.

They successfully eliminated a second-level black beast without relying on Augla, and in an instant all the little guys cheered as if they had done a great feat.

Even though the means used were a bit despicable.

"Well done everyone!"

Rod praised.

He also didn't expect that the life shield would be so useful. The four-layer shield blessed by the harvest directly blocked the attack of the second-level black beast.

Wait until it is upgraded to the tenth floor later.

Can't he fight against the second level alone?

It seems that I will need to use more auxiliary magic in the future.

Augla, who was fighting against the army of black beasts, was finally relieved to see that they were fine.

Unleashing his full strength, he charged through the herd of black beasts, finally gradually stabilizing the situation on the altar and starting to harvest the fish that had escaped the net from all directions.

……

at the same time.

Somewhere in the black earth world.

In a gathering place built in a closed canyon and surrounded by a barrier, shouts continued. "Hurry! Those monsters are coming!"

"Trebuckle, get on the trebuchet!"

"The barrier's energy can't hold up anymore, where's the magician!?"

"A fourth-level black beast appeared outside the city, requesting support!"

This is a wall built of huge stones that completely blocks the entrance to the canyon.

Looking around, countless figures were running in the canyon, transporting supplies.

The guards on the city walls are of various appearances, including humans, liches, orcs, goblins, sirens, and half-humans...

They are clearly completely different intelligent lives, some of which even hate each other, but at this moment they strangely gather together to resist the tide of black beasts outside.

However, facing the overwhelming onslaught of monsters, their protective barrier was shaky and looked like it was about to be breached.

"hold onto!"

"If we hold on until dawn, we will win!"

Above the city wall.

Each human wizard held up his staff, trying hard to maintain the barrier.

The fire wizard even overdrew his magic power and summoned huge meteorites from the sky to smash into the battlefield.

Below the city wall.

Several liches who had lived for who knows how long were surging with deathly aura, constantly summoning a sea of ​​skeletons to form a line of defense in front of them, providing cover for the charge of the centaurs and orc warriors.

Beautiful singing echoed in the sky. A dozen sirens floated in the air holding conch shells, using their singing to provide benefits to the warriors.

It was such a weird combination that actually managed to block the crazy attack of the black beast army.

Even though it still looks a bit messy.

"How are the wounded?"

In the gathering place, a middle-aged man in armor hurried over.

His body was covered in black blood and his arm was cut with a hideous wound, but he seemed unaware of it.

This person.

It is the leader of the human race.

He is also one of the five leaders who control this gathering place.

Brent Shawn.

The place where they were was called Crescent City.

Although it doesn't look like a city and is even in ruins, it represents the hope of the residents and has attracted many survivors of other races.

Jointly resisting the attacks of the black beasts had been the consensus they had reached more than two hundred years ago, and it had continued to this day.

just.

The atmosphere today seems particularly heavy.

In the meeting hall, the leaders of the five major races sat around a table with gloomy faces.

"This can't go on like this."

The orc leader sitting on the left said in a deep voice, breaking the silence in the hall with one sentence.

"There is no way to kill all the monsters outside. Every time the black moon comes, we will suffer heavy losses. We must think of a way, otherwise the gathering place will be destroyed sooner or later!"

As a fierce and warlike race, the orcs have always been straightforward. They are also the strongest among all the leaders present and have a very loud voice.

Brent Sean, who was sitting opposite him, glanced at him and spoke slowly:
"I just asked someone to do a count. The casualties are indeed more serious than last time. This is mainly due to the severe shortage of supplies. Many people have not eaten for several days. Can you solve this problem? Or do you have a way to deal with those monsters?"

As soon as these words came out.

The hall was quiet again.

Because anyone with a discerning eye could see that even their leaders looked a little thin.

Not to mention other supplies.

Food supply alone is a big problem.

I don’t even have enough to eat, how can I possibly use it to solve the problem?

Therefore, their only way to solve the problem was to resist the attacks of the black beasts.

"My suggestion is to reduce the food rations for ordinary civilians."

At this time, the lich leader on the side spoke.

His voice echoed, as if it was emitted through the resonance of the soul, and made the other four leaders look gloomy.

"It's easy to say, but by reducing the food distribution, do you want my people to die?"

"Do you think we are like you undead creatures and don't need to eat?"

"I think you just want to starve my people to death and then transform their bodies into undead!"

The entire hall suddenly erupted in an argument, so loud that even the guards outside could hear it, and their faces looked heavy.

The lich leader, on the other hand, was completely unaware and sneered, "What's wrong with transforming them into undead? Not only can it save food, but it can also be used to defend against the attacks of the black beasts. If you have the ability, come up with a better solution."

Although his methods are a bit extreme.

But it must be said that it can indeed alleviate the food and city defense problems we are facing today.

only.

They would never be able to transform their people into undead.

finally.

The impromptu meeting ended in a bad mood.

No one has come up with an effective and feasible solution.

Brent did not stop, but stood up and left with his servants, rushing to the human settlement with a heavy heart.

"Sure enough, we still have to rely on ourselves."

Everyone has selfish desires, let alone people of different races.

Although they have now jointly established a gathering place to resist monsters, they are still not completely united.

If you want more people to survive, you have to find a way yourself.

"Master Sean."

At this moment, a guard came running from a distance.

"While we were out scouting for the enemy, we discovered a very strange lantern plant!"
