Chapter 87 The Broken Dragon Ball Staff (78)
"Plants? Why are there plants on the black soil?"
Brent paused, his sharp eyebrows slightly condensed.
"I don't know the specific situation. The scouts sent out discovered it at the edge of the forest a hundred kilometers away."
"That forest?"
Brent was shocked.
Because it was very close to the depths of the black earth, and there were a large number of black beasts there, and even he did not dare to set foot there easily.
Crescent City also sent people to investigate, but no one came back.
Over time, that place became known as the Forest of Death, and no one dared to approach it easily.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Brent made a quick decision and rushed outside the city wall.
It was daytime now, and all the crazy black beasts had retreated. There were corpses and defensive equipment everywhere outside the city, and skinny figures were wandering everywhere, rummaging for useful supplies.
But more.
There were still wounded lying on the ground near the barrier.
The injuries are being treated with the help of the Siren Healer and the Orc Shaman.
soon.
The two came to the station, found the scouts who had just returned from tracking the black beast, and learned about the plants.
"Sir Sean, it's true. I really saw that plant. It grows on the black soil, and it also attacks the black beast!"
The scout who had just returned to the city was shocked, waving his hands and talking incoherently, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Brent frowned after hearing this and touched the stubble that he had not taken care of for several days.
"You mean, the plant that contains life?"
It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's just that the news is too shocking.
Because except for the small patch of crops grown within the barrier, they had never seen other living plants on the black soil, let alone attacked the black beast.
"It's true!"
The scout emphasized again: "I saw with my own eyes that the lantern-like plant stretched out its tentacles to attack the passing black beasts. Even those black beasts did not dare to get close!"
hiss--
The sound of breathing in continued.
The other guards nearby were shocked by his words.
Not only can he attack the black beast, but he can also make the black beast afraid?
Is there really such a plant on the black soil?
"Then did you bring the sample back?" Brent asked in a deep voice.
"This...not really."
The scout was a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "I was afraid of encountering any danger and was anxious to come back to report, so I didn't dare to get close. I only knew it was a strange plant like a lantern."
"Well, you did a great job."
Brent finally showed a smile: "Don't act rashly when encountering this kind of thing in the future. Bringing the news back is the most important thing. Go back and rest first."
"yes!"
The scout's young face was full of excitement.
This was the first time that he was praised by Lord Xiaon. You must know that the other person is the person he admires the most and is also the spiritual leader of the entire Crescent City human race.
After reporting the work.
He went back to the gathering place to rest.
As for Brent, he suppressed his smile, looked out at the boundless black soil, and fell into deep thought.
"Will it attack the black beast's lantern plant..."
He had a feeling that that plant might become their key to resisting the black beast's attack.
It's just that the closer you get to that side, the more corrosive the black soil becomes. Even he can't resist it for long, so you have to be fully prepared.
After thinking about it, he hurriedly left and returned to the gathering place.
It didn't take long.
A team of magicians who could dispel the black soil set off and rushed to the direction of the forest.
…
…
"call--"
"This damn black moon has finally passed."
On top of the Altar of the Moon God.
Rhodes lay sprawled on the ground, feeling like his body had been hollowed out.
Outside the altar, there were corpses of black beasts that had not completely dissipated everywhere, and the black blood made the entire ground look like oil.
It is estimated that a strong man would be instantly impotent if he stood on it.
fortunately.
He had foresight.
Spreading lantern trees over the Druid's lair in advance greatly reduces the intensity of the attack in that direction.
And this black moon is not without good news.
Not only did the giant egg hatch successfully, but he also discovered the powerful thing called elemental crystal.
When he thought that elemental crystals could allow elemental elves to advance directly, Rhodes couldn't wait to rush over and take away the lairs of those elemental beings, giving the altar a major upgrade as a whole.
"Fortunately, I was lucky this time and got two more crystals."
Rhodes raised his hand, and a cyan and a red crystal appeared in his hand. They were the wind crystal and fire crystal obtained this night.
And they are all first-order.
I can sense that it contains a very large amount of elemental energy. I can use it to study if there are any other uses when I have time.
Put away the crystals.
Rhodes sat up.
He looked at Ogula and the others who were still sizing up the black dragon baby.
"Okay, come here and have something to eat to recover. I happened to pick a lot of black fruits today."
Black fruit?
The ears of Ogula and the others stood up instantly, and they all gathered in front of him.
"Me me me! I killed the most black beasts today!"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
"Gah~"
As soon as food was mentioned, the altar became lively again, with people squeezing in front of Rhodes, all wanting to be the first to get the reward.
Rod complained helplessly: "Augula, you are almost 300 years old, how can you be like these children."
"Hehe, 300 years is not considered old among tree spirits, right? I worked very hard to resist the black beast today. You can see that my soul is injured."
Augula showed off the scratches on his body as if to seek credit. Although they were not serious, they were all over his body, which did look quite intimidating.
Rod also knew that he had worked hard and made great contributions, so he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you have made the greatest contribution this time, so I will give you five."
After that, he handed the black fruit to him.
"Five!"
Augula's eyes widened.
He had never seen so many black fruits before, and he only dared to eat two in one bite in his dream. His mouth suddenly grinned to the back of his head: "Thank you, Lord Rod! I will perform better in the future!"
"Go, recover from your injuries first."
"Okay!"
After saying that, Augula turned around and left, showing the black fruit in his hand to the little guys with a proud look on his face.
However, the little guys ignored him and quickly surrounded Rhode, cheering one after another.
In the end.
Each little guy was given one or two black fruits, and happily ran to the corner to enjoy them.
Even the elemental elves who had contributed gathered around a few black fruits, working hard to absorb the life energy on them.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Continuous lights lit up.
Because they absorbed too much life energy, several elemental elves successfully evolved into lower-level elves, making the magic elements on the altar more concentrated.
But what surprised Rhode the most.
It was the big bear and two soul ravens who had followed him for a long time, who also took this opportunity to upgrade to the first level.
All of a sudden.
The first-level combat power in the entire altar increased.
He, the little thing, the big bear, the soul ravens x2, and the fire elf, a total of six.
But unfortunately.
Because they were not physical entities, only he and the little thing could go outside for a long time.
If you really want to count, the baby black dragon that is not afraid of the black soil can also be counted as one, but it is just born and its strength has not reached the first level.
"It seems that I have to raise it quickly, maybe it can be used as a mount."
Thinking of what Augla said before, Rhode suddenly felt that it was very feasible.
After all, the dragon will grow up to a very large size, and it can carry him and the little thing to travel on the black soil, greatly saving the consumption of magic power on the way.
And it is also a top combat force, and it can help him deal with the black beast at a critical moment.
Thinking of this.
Rhode looked into the distance.
"Kaba, come here."
Kaba, who was playing in the puddle with the water elf, suddenly stuck his head out of the water.
Seeing Rhode calling it, it immediately climbed ashore and shook off the water stains on its body, then ran over to circle around Rhode, making a cry that was completely unlike that of a dragon.
Uh...
Can this guy really be a mount in the future?
Looking at Kaba, who was still a little unsteady on his feet, Rhode was a little skeptical. He was afraid that he would have to carry the little guy on his back.
"Forget it, let's raise him first."
Raising one is raising, raising a group is also raising.
He doesn't need the food of this one anyway...right?
Before Rhode could react, Kaba rushed out of the altar and ran to the corpse of a giant black dragon beast outside, absorbing the remaining breath on it.
"You haven't eaten enough yet?"
Rhode was frightened by the little guy's amazing "appetite". He got up and came to the edge of the altar, just in time to see a white bead lying under the corpse, which was not contaminated by the black soil.
Could it be the legendary kidney stone... No, dragon ball?
Without time to think about it, Rhode stepped into the black soil and came to Kaba, picked up the fist-sized bead, and brought it back to the altar.
[Obtain Dragon Ball (Second Level) x1]
[Dragon Ball: The soul power of the dragon clan, containing the purest elemental energy, can be used to store magic power. ]
Good stuff!
Why didn't these dragons leave any items behind? They were waiting here.
They can store magic.
Isn't that equivalent to increasing the upper limit of magic?
With this idea in mind, Rhode immediately ran to the open space, picked up a piece of wood, and tied the dragon ball to it with vines to make it look like a staff.
As expected.
The information of the item in front of him suddenly changed.
[Broken Dragon Ball Staff lv20]
[Features: Magic Upper Limit +50]
"..."
This attribute is too bad!
It's a second-level staff after all!
"Is the stick I used not good enough?"
Discovering that he had a talent for hand-rubbing equipment, Rhode's interest increased greatly. He turned around and ran into the plantation and cut off a branch of a mutant tree.
Then he replaced it with a vine of dragon blood vine and tied the dragon ball to the top of the branch with the most professional binding method.
In a blink of an eye.
A green staff with leaves was freshly baked.
[Life Dragon Staff lv15 (25)]
[Feature 1: Mana Limit +100]
[Feature 2: Usage Level -10]
[Magic: Dragon Power (consumes all stored magic power to increase the power of the designated target by 100%, only effective for targets of level 2 and below.)]
It really works!
Seeing the attributes that have become so much more powerful, Rhodes was overjoyed.
As a magician, he had long wanted a cool staff to highlight his status, and this dragon ball staff came just in time.
Holding it in his hand.
Instantly, he felt that his magic power increased by 50%.
Although the lv15 level was two levels higher than his, it was a bit difficult to use, but it did not affect his ability to mobilize the stored magic power to cast magic.
This was equivalent to having an emergency mana recovery potion when going out, which greatly improved his endurance!
