Chapter 107 The True Use of Wind Element
The arrow appeared extremely suddenly.
By the time Rhodes reacted, it had turned into a ray of cold light and sunk into the cheetah's head.
"puff!"
"Ouch!!"
Screams echoed through the cave.
The second-level black beast that was so ferocious just now died suddenly and fell to the ground and dissipated quickly.
Rhodes looked in the direction of the arrow's source, and happened to see a figure wearing black leather armor standing at the corner, still raising his hand to clasp the bow.
Under the black hood, two iconic long ears were exposed, making Rhodes stunned.
But the figure just glanced at him, Kabbah and Little Things, then turned and disappeared around the corner.
"Wait a moment!"
Rhodes was startled and quickly chased after him.
But when he crossed the corner, there was nothing in front of him, only underground passages leading to unknown directions.
Human?
Or an elf?
Rhodes was full of doubts. He never expected to encounter life other than black beasts in a place like the Druid's lair.
And except for the skin color, it was very similar to the elves described to him by Ogula.
Did it come from somewhere else?
Or do you mean to live underground?
"Forget it, go back first!"
Seeing that they had gone deep into a very dangerous place and had already collected a lot of moon stones, Rhodes did not take any more risks and quickly evacuated with Little Thing and Kabbah.
There were no dangers along the way, and I didn't encounter any black beasts above the second level.
More than an hour later, I finally returned to the altar and found Ogula to ask about the elves.
"Did you meet the elves in the druid's lair?"
Augula was also shocked by the news after hearing it.
"That's not right. Logically speaking, elves are natural creatures and should not be able to survive underground."
The elves were born from the Tree of Life. To put it bluntly, they were a race derived from the spiritual intelligence of plants and trees.
Flowers and plants still need light, let alone the elves.
"Have you forgotten that there is a kind of elf that does not need light?"
At this time, Alpha's voice came, and he heard the conversation between the two and came over.
"Elves that don't need light?"
Augula was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then suddenly reacted: "Dark Elf! You are talking about Dark Elf, right?"
"That's right."
Alpha nodded: "If I guess correctly, Lord Rhodes should have encountered dark elves."
As soon as these words came out.
Rhodes became even more surprised.
He remembered that Ogola had indeed mentioned the special race of dark elves before.
Unlike ordinary elves, dark elves can only be born at night and do not like sunlight. They are known as the darlings of the night and are purer than the night demons.
The Night Demon only has the talent to control shadows, and his main fighting method is mental attacks such as charm.
The dark elves are the incarnation of the night. It is said that they can completely blend themselves into the darkness and are the top hunters among all races.
No wonder she could appear near him quietly.
"If I remember correctly, there was indeed a tribe of dark elves living in the forest above the Druid's lair." Alpha said with a deep look on his face.
"In other words, those dark elves are probably still alive and hiding in the druid's lair?" Rhodes' eyes lit up.
"Yes."
Alpha glanced outside the altar: "According to my observations during this period, the auras of black earth and dark elements are very similar. There should be many of their tribesmen surviving."
"And they, like the elves, were born from the Tree of Life. They are one of the many forest guardians under the tree god. If we can recall them, it will be a great help to us."
"Is there still this matter?"
Rhodes was surprised after hearing this.
What he lacks most now is manpower, because the food is about to mature, and with the continuous expansion of the land, they simply don't have enough people.
To put it bluntly, they have high-level combat power, but they don’t have ordinary labor. No one is doing the large and complicated work, which is very time-consuming.
For example, watering, weeding, harvesting, planting, and daily forest land maintenance are all completed by a few of them.
The little guys can help a little.
But only a little.
I don't know where to go to play if I help, or he has to be there to give instructions.
"Wait a minute, you said that dark elves were also born on the Tree of Life? Why haven't I heard the elders mention it?" Ogola next to him suddenly interrupted.
"Of course you don't know."
Alpha glanced at him: "Because the souls of the elves were first conceived in the Dream Woodland. White elves are born during the day, and dark elves are born at night. I have seen it with my own eyes in the Dragon's Nest before."
Recalling the tree god's huge body that seemed to open up the world, and the new souls condensed on it, Alpha's eyes were a little dazed.
I don’t know if I can see such a dreamy scene again in the future.
"The soul you are talking about is a tumor like this?"
Suddenly, Ogula's voice came from far away.
At some point, he ran to the edge of the plantation and pointed at the small tree inside.
Tumor?
What tumor?
Rhodes and Alpha followed the sound and found that a fist-sized lump had grown out of nowhere on the small tree.
It was like a tree tumor, hanging on the branch, blocked by dense leaves, and could not be seen without paying attention.
"Strange, when did this thing grow?"
Rhodes walked over and looked at the tumor in confusion.
It looked weird.
Could it be a parasite?
Did it appear because of the moonlight?
He looked up at the moon floating above, and always felt that many plants had changed after this thing appeared.
As for Alpha, his face was strange.
"It seems... it's like this..."
You call the souls of the elves a tumor, aren't you afraid of being beaten when you go back?
Of course.
Complaints are complaints.
He looked at the little tree with some doubts.
Because he clearly remembered that the souls of the elves on the Tree of Life had no entity.
When they grow to a certain extent, they will be born on the body of the Tree of Life in the material plane, thus giving birth to elves.
He expressed this doubt.
After hearing this, Rhodes and Augla looked at each other and looked at the masochistic tree again.
"According to the elders, this tree should have been contaminated by the breath of the tree god, which caused some changes."
"Will it grow something strange?"
Rhodes came under the tree and gently touched the tumor with his hand, but there was no reaction.
He was a little suspicious that this was really just a tree tumor.
"How about we pick it off and cut it open to see?" Augla suggested.
Alpha rolled his eyes at him: "What if there is really a soul inside? Then you will be the sinner of the dream forest."
"Uh... I just said it casually."
Augla was scared.
He was going to be the tree spirit who was the greatest contributor to the forest, how could he let his resume have a stain?
And he didn't know why.
When he said that sentence just now, he suddenly felt a chill coming over him, making him shiver all over.
"Strange, can tree spirits feel cold?"
Augula muttered quietly, not noticing the masochistic little trees swaying gently in the plantation.
Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Rhode didn't care about it for the time being, and his attention returned to the problem of the dark elves.
He had already made plans.
After reaching the second level, he would go deeper into the nest to see if there really was a dark elf tribe.
If there was, they should know the druid nest very well, and maybe they could help him find the demigod mark of the archdruid.
Okay.
It's decided!
Rhode clenched his fists and set a short-term goal to conquer the underground kingdom of the druid nest!
As if in response to his thoughts, experience prompts suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Crops are ripe, experience value +1]
[Crops are ripe, experience value +1]
[Crops are ripe, experience value...]
Is the wheat ripe?
When Rhode saw the prompt information, his first reaction was to look at the wheat field. Sure enough, it was already emitting a strong wheat fragrance, and it was golden at a glance.
Then.
Countless messages popped up again.
[Crops ripe, experience +1]
[Level upgrade, lv15→lv18]
…
[Magic Tree Spirit lv18]
[Profession: Gardener (first level)]
[Experience: 7/260]
[Ordinary magic: Thorn Guard, Life Shield…]
[Professional magic: Cultivation, Harvest]
Upgraded three levels in a row!
Unexpectedly, the experience given by wheat ripening this time was so much.
It seems that increasing the planting area is still very effective, even if the experience given by wheat has been reduced a lot.
After the upgrade.
I just felt a surge of energy flowing through my body, which made his mental power and magic power have a qualitative leap, almost comparable to the state when he drank the mental potion before.
Now if he drinks the mental potion again, it is estimated that he can directly reach the level of the second level.
"What's wrong?"
Augla and Alpha looked over.
"The wheat is ripe, ready to harvest!"
Rhodes said and walked towards the wheat field.
"Mature?"
Ogula was also very excited when she heard it, and hurriedly followed his footsteps.
Clap clap clap~
Rod clapped his hands on the edge of the field.
"Come on, get ready to work, come and gather."
With a shout, the little guys hiding and playing everywhere came out one after another, cheering and running over.
In a blink of an eye, the whole edge of the field was filled with figures of all sizes.
Agula as big as 20 meters, elemental elves as small as thumbs.
Even Alpha, who participated in the harvesting activity for the first time, stood on the boulder next to him with his arms behind his back, listening to Rhode's mobilization arrangements.
Soon.
Each member received his own task and began to work in various parts of the wheat field. The area around the altar was in full swing.
Since there was no help from Aina this time, their harvesting speed was much slower.
But fortunately, there have been many new members added to the altar recently, so it was not too slow to be unacceptable.
"By the way!"
Suddenly, Rhode remembered that there was still a wind crystal in the ring.
When the black moon descended, he obtained two elemental crystals, one wind and one fire, and one earth crystal when he explored the mineral forest.
The fire crystal had been absorbed by Alpha.
Now there are only two crystals left, one wind and one earth crystal.
Immediately called two lower-level wind and earth elements with the strongest auras to absorb the crystals for them.
After a while.
Their bodies swelled up and stepped directly into the first level.
The floating small stones around the earth element increased, and the power of the whirlwind around the wind element also increased.
"Come on, try to see if you can cut these wheat with wind blades."
Rhodes said to the advanced wind element.
The wind element did not hesitate. It came to the side of the wheat field, opened its mouth and blew hard. Wind blades flew out, accurately cutting off the wheat stalks below, and fell down in a blink of an eye.
Although it was not as exaggerated as the second-level Aina, it also greatly improved their harvesting efficiency.
"Good, good, that's it! Xiaofeng is great!"
Rhodes was overjoyed and praised him repeatedly.
After hearing this, Xiaofeng worked harder, wandering between the wheat fields and cutting all the remaining wheat.
The discordant scene made Augla, who was not far away, secretly shocked.
"Isn't this too convenient? You think the Moon God created the wind element just to harvest wheat?"
Alpha: "..."
