Chapter 112 Damn, he tricked me!
Rhodes:? ? ?
The elves don’t have that kind of ugly thing?
Hearing Augura's words, Rhodes was instantly shocked and shocked, feeling that his outlook on life had been greatly impacted.
Elf.
It’s actually asexual reproduction!
So were those little elves orc cartoons he read before all fake?
really.
Practice brings true knowledge.
Some things cannot be fully restored by just guessing, you have to see them with your own eyes.
"No, since it's asexual reproduction, how come there are male elves and female elves?"
Rhodes suddenly thought of another question and looked at Augura and Alpha.
"Uh...I don't know about that."
"I'm not sure either."
The two looked at each other and said they didn't know.
Augura simply has no feeling for gender, which is a common problem among the tree spirits.
Alpha has never seen the elven reproduction process with his own eyes, so he doesn't understand these details.
In desperation, Rhodes could only come to the side of the elf baby and look up and down.
The newly born elf baby was not quite accustomed to the environment at this time. He looked around timidly and at the figures of all sizes surrounding him.
But even so, Rhodes could still tell that this was a female elf baby.
That is to say.
The gender of elves is determined at birth.
"Is it possible that among the elves, gender is not called gender, but occupational division of labor?" Alpha said what he thought was the most likely guess.
Just like the worker ants and soldier ants of ants, they have no reproductive function, but due to different division of labor, there are great differences between individuals.
In the eyes of other races, this huge difference is regarded as the difference between males and females, which is completely consistent when applied to the elves.
"I see!"
After hearing this, Rhodes suddenly realized that this should be the most likely explanation.
In their opinion, male elves should be the stronger ones among the elves and are responsible for doing heavy and tiring work.
Female elves have the advantage of agility and are responsible for conveying messages and quickly breaking down and transporting food.
The reason why there are concepts of male and female is just that other races have applied it with their own understanding.
Obviously.
As the "Queen Ant" of the elf babies, Dou M Xiaoshu believed that the environment where she lived needed more agile elves, so the first elf she gave birth to was a female.
"Okay, you've hidden it so deeply, tell me what's your relationship with the Tree of Life?"
Rhodes grabbed the leaves of the small tree, as if holding them by the ears and lecturing them.
However, the little tree swayed from side to side, but the spiritual message it conveyed was unknown. Even it itself didn't know why elves grew on its body.
"It's really weird."
Augula also followed up and said: "It stands to reason that the tree that can give birth to elves should be the tree of life, and it should be able to control the origin of life, but why is it so weak?"
As soon as he said this, the little tree stopped drying, and there was a rustling sound.
The baby elf, who was still scared, seemed to be able to sense its thoughts, and suddenly ran over to Ogula, biting his roots hard.
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, isn't it? You are awesome, you are awesome, get this kid away quickly, don't let me accidentally step on you."
As he spoke, he swung his toes, shook the elf baby away, and fell to the ground.
Who would have thought.
The elf baby felt the pain but did not cry or fuss.
Instead, he got up from the ground, picked up a small wooden stick and gestured at Augula, like a warrior who wanted to defeat the evil dragon.
"Huh? This little guy is quite brave. He has a fighting spirit since he was born. He will definitely be a good elf warrior in the future."
"Since she likes you so much, I'll leave it to you to take care of her."
After saying a few words, Rhodes and Alpha ran away, leaving a confused and bewildered Augura standing there.
no.
Why did you all run away?
I have never taken care of children!
Unfortunately, no matter how much he wailed, Rhodes and the others ignored him and went about their own business.
Fortunately little thing they are still there.
After being confused at the beginning, they finally knew it was their newly born little friend, and immediately surrounded him, chattering without knowing what he was talking about.
Anyway, by the time Rhodes turned around after casting the spell on the wheat field, the baby elves had already mingled with them, running back and forth between the open space and the plantation, making the area around the altar even more lively.
"It seems that we need to upgrade quickly and get more moon stones to expand the forest area."
Seeing that there were more and more members on the altar, Rhodes thought of expanding the forest again and looked at his personal panel.
[Demonized Tree Spirit lv18]
[Experience value: 73/260]
These more than seventy points of experience are given when the wheat sprouts.
Although it was not as much as when he was mature, it still made him take a big step towards the second level.
As long as you level up a little more than one and a half levels, you can master the new gardener's magic.
Coupled with the various means that have been accumulated recently, it is completely possible to explore the deeper parts of the Druid's lair, and maybe encounter the survivors outside and get in touch with other races.
"Okay, let's continue the liver experience!"
After setting short-term goals, Rhodes worked harder.
Plants of wheat are growing rapidly under his cultivation and harvest magic, and experience information is constantly popping up in front of them.
…
A blink of an eye.
Two days passed.
While Rhodes was still working hard to gain experience by farming, something big happened at the Druid's lair far away in the forest.
"Found it! Moon Stone vein!"
"It's really a vein of moon stone!"
Deep in the lair.
Several teams sent by the Giant Tree Alliance were looking at the large piece of Moon Stone embedded in the cave with great joy.
After these days of continuous exploration and the loss of a large number of people, they finally found what they wanted in this secret cave.
Moon Stone!
And it’s also a vein of moon stone!
Looking at the green stone, everyone's face showed ecstasy and excitement.
After all the nonsense, extra manpower was immediately dispatched to begin intensive excavation work.
The commotion even alerted the nearby demon clan, who immediately sent a message to Rhodes through the messenger gargoyle.
"They found a lot of moon stones?"
After receiving the news, Rhodes almost vomited with acid.
I worked hard and risked my life to explore the nest, but I only found some scattered pieces.
Fortunately for those outsiders, they directly discovered a small mineral vein, which looked like there were at least hundreds of complete moon stones.
"Want to rob?"
Augula was eager to give it a try.
More moon stones meant that he could repair the tree god statue faster and restore life to the forest. He couldn't help but be tempted.
"Of course!"
Rhodes said decisively.
Not to mention that the Moon Stone is very useful to him, he can't let those unscrupulous people get so many Moon Stones from the Giant Tree Alliance alone.
Otherwise, what if the sacrificial circle is activated and the plane passage is really opened to attract those gods?
"My soul has recovered a lot recently, and I can barely go outside. Leave this matter to me." Alpha volunteered.
He has been staying here these days, watching Rhodes, Kabbah and the others risking their lives to go out, as well as Ogula's various meritorious services, and he has long wanted to do something for the forest.
Otherwise, there would be no contribution at all, and he would not have the dignity to call himself the guardian of Dreamland.
"Can you go out?"
Rhode's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Try not to hurt innocent people, as long as you can get the Moon Stone back."
"Wrap it around me."
After Alpha finished speaking, his whole body was ignited with blazing flames, and he transformed directly into the dragon's true form. A giant flame dragon tens of meters long flew outside in a roaring heat wave.
Wherever he went, the black earth boiled.
It seemed as if it was going to be burned to death by the fierce flames.
"Damn it, he tricked me!"
Augula cursed secretly, looking unhappy.
But it has to be said that the Yanlong clan is really impressive, and it even carries its own tail flames during flight.
He couldn't help but want to go back to the elders and learn the magic of running with the breath of life behind him, and allowing flowers and grass to grow wherever he went.
There should be, right?
Augura was a little unsure.
Turning his head, he found that Rhodes was also looking at Alpha's retreating back, and there was a faint murmuring voice.
"Well... the momentum is quite strong. It would be great if it could be accompanied by the sentence "My name is Deathwing Cataclysm."
Deathwing?
What?
Isn't that guy's name Emberwing?
Augula looked confused and thought he had heard wrongly.
When he looked outside again, there was no sign of Alpha. The speed was much faster than ground combat units like them, which made him feel envious again.
…
And at this time.
On the black soil plain.
After half a day of digging, the Giant Tree Alliance team has dug out pieces of Moon Stone and brought them to the ground.
The adventure teams stood nearby and could only watch helplessly, feeling envious and jealous, but did not dare to get even half a step closer.
because.
The old human race man standing next to the pile of moon stones was a fifth-level strongman sent by the Giant Tree Alliance. He was the peak combat power of the entire alliance!
"Ah, I really want a few pieces of the Moon Stone so that I can get a few full meals."
In a corner not far away, the strange five-person group stood with their backs against the barrier, admiring the pieces of Moon Stone that had been moved out, just like looking at the big dried meat piled together.
"It's pretty good. Our harvest in the past few days should be enough to exchange for a lot of dry food." The dwarf uncle said while wiping his giant axe.
But the human mage girl and the orc shaman next to them were still drooling after hearing this.
"With so many moon stones, can they be exchanged for a lot of food?"
"It must be enough for me to eat for several meals."
Suck it~
The sound of slurping, accompanied by the growling of their stomachs, made their eyes glow even more green, and at the same time they felt deeply defeated.
They had been desperately exploring the underground lair these past few days, almost losing their lives several times, but they could barely get enough food to survive starvation.
No matter how optimistic they are, they will inevitably feel envious and imagine that one day they will have enough to eat.
"Marlene, what's wrong with you?"
The captain's voice sounded, interrupting their conversation.
Marlene.
It's the name of the dark elf.
Only then did they notice that Marlene had not spoken since returning to the ground, sitting alone in the corner not knowing what she was thinking.
"You shouldn't be hurt, right?"
"Still too hungry to move?"
"Why have you been silent?"
Several team members all dropped what they were doing and gathered around with concern.
Although they are usually heartless, they still value the safety of their companions very much, even if they belong to different races.
Feeling their concern, Marin raised her head and rolled her eyes at them.
"Do you think I look injured? I'm just thinking about something!"
As soon as these words came out, they laughed and finally relaxed.
"What? I thought you were so hungry that you couldn't move." Several people sat back in their seats.
"You are so hungry that you can't move!"
Marin retorted: "I was just thinking that when I was in the nest today, I sensed a familiar breath, as if it was my people."
"Your people? Aren't you the only dark elf left? You must have hallucinations."
"Don't believe it, maybe somewhere in the black soil, our dark elves are still living well!"
Marin walked away angrily.
And their noisy movements also attracted other adventure teams to look over here, showing malicious expressions.
They didn't dare to fight for the team of the Giant Tree Alliance, but this rookie team, which was only at the second level at most, was different.
"Look! What is that!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Everyone whose thoughts were interrupted raised their heads and saw a fiery red figure approaching rapidly above the Death Forest in the distance.
