Chapter 90 The Power of Homemade Grenades

Altar of the Moon Goddess.

In front of the Tree of Life statue.

Rhodes looked helpless as he looked at the shadow of the tree god that had just disappeared.

"Look at you, why did you put on the light pollution effects for no reason? It scared me."

Didn't it scare him?

He woke up early in the morning and cast a spell to water the wheat seeds as usual.

It just so happened that the seeds sprouted collectively, and then the statue of the Tree of Life suddenly lit up for no apparent reason.

Glowing isn’t enough.

Also summons the shadow of the tree god.

It was as if it was afraid that others didn't know that it was the tree of life.

"I get a reaction when there are more plants around me. Did I learn this bad habit from Xiao Dou?"

Rhodes looked doubtful as he looked at the Tree of Life statue and then at the Masochistic little tree in the center of the plantation.

Only one night had passed.

The little masochistic tree suddenly jumped more than one meter high, reaching a height of eleven or twelve meters.

Even the other three branches that had just been planted had grown to nearly five meters, and the black fruit yield had greatly increased.

It seems that the increase in wheat has a great impact on them.

Swish!
There was a flash of light.

Augura's soul appeared on the altar.

As soon as he stood still, his iconic loud voice rang out.

"Lord Rhodes, what did you do? The elders said that they seemed to be able to vaguely sense the existence of the forest."

"Can you sense it?"

Rhodes' eyes lit up.

Obviously.

As the area of ​​planting increases, the spiritual power that the Dreamwood can accommodate also increases.

Think of this.

He briefly described the situation.

After hearing this, Augula became excited: "Does this mean that the elders will be able to enter the forest soon?"

"It should be. As long as we build the forest land well, we can all come in one day. Is everything going well over there?"

"Well, since they absorbed the wheat you gave them last time, they have basically recovered. At least they won't fall into a deep sleep again in the short term. However, the elves came to visit us some time ago."

"Elves?"

"Yes."

Augula nodded and told them about the Elf Queen sending people to look for their elders.

After he finished speaking, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Um... We were afraid that the news of the forest becoming like this would be too much of a blow to the Moon Priest, so we didn't tell her about the forest's revival for the time being. Should that be okay?"

The dryads also knew about the Moon Priest's fanatical belief in the Moon Goddess.

Once the other party learns that the Dream Forest has become what it is now, they will definitely guess that the Moon Goddess is no longer there.

When the last glimmer of hope is shattered, no one knows what will happen.

"Is there still this?"

Rhodes' mouth twitched after hearing this.

A fanatic who seems to have a crush on the Moon God. He is also the Moon Priest of the Elves, and his status is second only to the Elf Queen.

When the BUFF is fully stacked, it belongs to yes.

Such an existence.

The strength must be terrifying.

Can't be bothered.

It would be better not to tell anyone that Yue Shen was dead for now, so that the other party won’t come over in a rage and take over his piece of land.

What if the Moon Goddess didn't die, but ran off with another goddess? Then a small tree spirit like him would not be able to bear the Shura field.

"You did the right thing!"

Rhodes was generous in his praise and greatly praised the actions of the tree spirits.

“Do you also think we did the right thing?”

Augula was delighted and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the elves and dryads are both under the command of the Tree God, and have been looking forward to the return of the Moon Goddess. It would be a bit unfair to keep it a secret from them.

Now that he had Rhodes' approval, his psychological burden was finally lifted.

It's not that I didn't say it on purpose.

It was God's envoy who requested this.

The Lord God's Messenger represents the will of the Moon God!

"Okay, let's talk about the elves later. I'm going to go to the direction where the elemental life appeared. Remember to guard the forest."

Although Rhodes also wanted to see the legendary elf beauties, whether they were all as beautiful as fairies with long ears.

But there are more important things to do now, so let's take it slow for now.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Maybe we can see the evil black elf beast on the black soil?
"Yeah!"

"Roar!"

As soon as I heard I was going out.

The little thing ran over immediately.

Next to it was a huge black coal ball, no, it was the black dragon baby Kaba.

"Wait! When did you grow so big??"

Rhodes was stunned.

Seeing Kaba was twice as big as yesterday and almost reaching his shoulder height, he almost didn't recognize him.

Feel it carefully.

The aura has actually reached the first level!
Could it be because of the absorbed dragon corpses?

But this change is too big. He was just a baby yesterday!
"roar~"

Kaba didn't know what Rhodes was thinking.

It changed its previous whimpering sound and let out a happy growl. It then ran over and circled around him, wagging its tail and rubbing its head back and forth, looking at the little thing from time to time.

It was as if begging Rod to take it with him.

"You're quite smart."

Rhodes didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He didn't even have to doubt it.

It’s only when the little thing tells it how fun it is outside that it suddenly comes over to act coquettishly.

It is indeed worthy of being a higher life form.

He has such high wisdom just after reaching the first level.

It just so happened that Kaba, who had grown bigger, could carry him and the little thing, so he said, "I can take you out, but you have to be obedient and not run around. Do you understand?"

"Ho~ho~"

Kaba immediately responded with two low growls.

Obviously she understood what he said.

"Let's go, we'll set off now."

As early as yesterday, Rhodes had already prepared everything he needed for going out.

So we didn't stay too long.

After saying a few words to Augla, he took the little thing and rode on Kaba's back, and rushed out of the altar.

"So fast!"

Sitting on Kaba's back and watching the scenery passing by on both sides, Rhodes was shocked again.

Although the first-level Kaba was not yet able to fly, his running speed was beyond his expectations and was much faster than when he ran at full speed.

Moreover, walking on the black soil was as easy as walking on flat ground, which greatly reduced his magic power consumption. He only needed to mobilize a small part to resist the breath of the black soil.

The little thing was also very excited. He lay on Kaba's head and babbled, pointing around with his little hands, acting as a guide and commander.

"Okay, I take it back. The black dragon mount is awesome!"

Amidst the shouts, Kaba ran past and left the altar behind in the blink of an eye.

Until nearly twenty minutes.

The surrounding scene began to change.

From the endless black land, it slowly turns into rocks and crystal protrusions of various colors.

And there are more and more of them, some of the crystal pillars are as high as a hundred meters, looking like a colorful rock forest.

"These...are elemental ores?"

Rhodes said in surprise.

He had never expected that the terrain in this direction would be so strange. It was obvious that the elemental black beasts had escaped from here.

It also confirmed his previous conjecture.

There was indeed a defensive barrier formed by different forests around the Moon Goddess Altar.

"Yeah!"

"Roar!"

at this time.

The cries of Little Thing and Kaba were heard.

Rhode looked up and was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him. Two peaks.

The mountains towering into the clouds!

One is wrapped in blazing flames, and the other is covered in white ice and snow, both located in the deepest part of the entire rocky forest.

Even from a distance, Rhodes felt a strong sense of fear of the giant creature, which almost made him unable to breathe.

"What is this? Ice and fire?"

Rhodes motioned for Cabba to stop, a look of surprise on his face.

The topography here was completely beyond his expectations. He didn't expect it to be so magnificent.

Faintly, there were countless dark shadows circling around the two peaks, and familiar roars could be heard from time to time.

Giant black dragon beast!

Those black shadows were actually all dragons!
Could it be that.

Is this area the lair of the dragon clan?

Did the Moon Goddess really have a nest of lizards at home?

"It's a bit difficult to handle..."

On one side is a druid's lair, on the other side is a mountain giant forest, and now a dragon's lair has appeared.

The area around the Moon Goddess Altar is not just fraught with danger, it's actually surrounded by wolves!
Originally, Rhode thought that there would always be places with fewer black beasts in the four directions, so that he could at least find a chance to get out. However, he was severely slapped in the face by reality.

No need to think about it.

The giant dragons that had casually landed on the altar before were all level two, and the closer they were to the two mountains, the higher their level would definitely be.

It's just that the breath of life on the altar is relatively weak and not strong enough to attract them, so they have been in peace.

Wait until the forest scale is expanded in the future.

I'm afraid it's not that easy.

"I don't know if the elemental spirits and small stones can absorb these elemental ores. How about taking some back?"

Rhodes looked around and saw elemental ores of various properties piled up like mountains. They walked among them like three little ants, and their reflections were everywhere on the crystal.

If these ores are useful.

That was completely different for him.

Think about it.

Then he jumped off Kaba's back.

He picked up a few pieces of ores with different properties and relatively low pollution levels and put them into the space ring.

Especially those crystals.

It seemed to be condensed from very high-purity elemental ores. When I touched it with my arm, I could feel a strong elemental breath. It was not completely contaminated by the black soil.

He put a few larger pieces into the space ring, and then continued to move forward with satisfaction, going deeper into the mineral forest.

"Roar!"

Sudden.

Cabba let out a low growl.

He stared at the corner ahead with a vigilant look on his face.

Rhodes was startled and immediately drew out his weapon, which was the Dragon Ball Staff he had made earlier.

The little thing jumped onto Kaba's head, ready to attack at any time.

next second.

A giant crystal beast that was more than five meters tall appeared at the distant corner, with crystals all over its body. The colorful halo was mixed with the constantly surging black air, giving off a very oppressive feeling.

[Crystallized Behemoth lv18]

Being able to see the level information, it is undoubtedly a black beast.

Moreover, he is 4 levels higher than Rhodes, which means he can kill monsters at a higher level.

Fortunately, the giant crystal beast did not notice them. It just lowered its head and gnawed on the elemental ores scattered on the ground, as if it was feeding on the ores.

Rhodes would not miss the opportunity to see the black beast alone, and gave a look to the little thing and Kaba.

"Prepare……"

"on!"

A low drink.

The little thing suddenly leaped out, jumped onto the uneven ore wall beside it, and climbed up from the side at high speed.

Seeing this, the black dragon baby Kaba was not to be outdone and rushed straight towards the crystal beast.

hum-

The magic light comes on.

Rhodes stood on a piece of crystal.

As he raised his arm, two magic circles appeared at the tip of the staff, surrounding the dragon ball.

Boom!

A huge vine burst out of the ground.

Instantly entangled the defenseless crystal beast.

At the same time, the staff pointed forward, and four layers of shields wrapped the small thing rushing in the front.

"Roar!!"

The crystal beast roared, finally noticing them, and struggled desperately to break free from its restraints.

The crystal on his body, which was originally dull and lifeless, suddenly lit up with a large amount of light.

"Be careful of its skills!"

Rhodes reminded loudly.

The little thing's short spear and Kaba's charge also fell down immediately, and with a bang, they hit the protective energy on the surface of the crystal beast.

The huge impact force did not cause any damage to the creature itself, but instead pushed both the little thing and Kaba back.

It’s actually a defensive shield!
Rhodes looked at the energy shield that enveloped the crystal beast in amazement. It was the first time he encountered a black beast that could use this kind of magic.

Is it because of the elemental minerals around that the black beasts here can use magic?
No time to think too much.

Immediately cast the spell again.

Give Kaba four layers of life shield as well, and then continue to summon a second enhanced version of the vine guard to firmly restrain the crystal beast and create offensive opportunities for the little thing and Kaba.

however.

They still underestimated the strength of the black beast.

Just when the energy shield was about to be broken by the two little guys, the energy on the giant beast suddenly gathered on the crystal above its head.

A beam of light suddenly shot out, aiming directly at Kaba in front of it, with a power almost comparable to second-level magic!
It was Kaba's first time participating in a battle, so he had no idea how to dodge and was still scratching his shield with his claws.

By the time it sensed the danger, its vision was already covered by a white light.

"boom!"

The beam of light hit Kaba's life shield hard, shattering three layers in an instant, and even the fourth layer of the shield had cracks.

Its penetrating ability is actually comparable to that of the second-level dragon that Black Moon encountered before!
Fortunately, Rhodes reacted in time.

Just raise your hand and it’s a harvest magic.

Three layers of shields grew on Kaba's body again, easily blocking the impact of the light.

"Get out of my way!"

With a loud shout, a bunch of stones with shield arrays drawn on them appeared in Rhodes' hand. He injected magic power into them and threw them at the crystal beast.

Then he turned and ran away.

The little thing and Kaba quickly followed.

"Boom!!"

"Ow—"

The violent explosion, accompanied by the screams of the crystal black beast, turned into a gust of air that swept around.

Rhodes turned around and was startled.

There was no trace of the crystal monster at the corner, only a pile of scattered mineral crystals and a huge pit nearly ten meters deep.

He was actually killed by his homemade grenade!

"Is it so fierce?"

Rhodes swallowed.

The magic circles drawn on those stones were exactly the explosive shields he had improved before, drawn according to the principle of flash bombs.

I was a little worried that it might not be powerful enough, so I took out so many at once, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful and kill it in seconds.

Even the two little guys were so scared that they hid aside, thinking that there was a mine landslide.

"Huh? Something exploded?"

At this time, Rhodes noticed a yellow crystal lying in the deep pit. It was the purpose of his trip, the elemental crystal!

I don’t know if it was because of good luck or the high drop rate of this kind of monster, but the first one appeared.

He quickly ran over to collect the crystal, then jumped onto Kaba's back with the little thing.

"Let's go, get out of here first."

At the command, Kaba started running wildly, leaving the battle site far behind in a blink of an eye.

What Rhodes didn't know was.

Not long after they left.

On top of the flame-covered Dragon's Nest mountain.

A pair of huge eyes like a viper suddenly opened, and raised its head to look in their direction.

"Why is there the aura of Lord Dragon God there..."
