Chapter 21: All thanks to peers
Rhodes didn't know.
Unknowingly, the number of fanatical believers in Moon God has increased to three.
When he woke up early in the morning, he immediately pulled out the roots from the soil and went to the plantation to check the growth of the plants.
To his delight.
In just one night, several young shoots have grown in the wheat field, swaying left and right in the morning breeze.
[Demonized Tree Spirit lv5]
[Occupation: Gardener]
【Experience: 34/50】
[Common magic: vine whip, rain spell]
[Professional Magic: Cultivation]
Huh?
Experience has increased so much?
Rhodes was surprised and pleasantly surprised when he saw the sudden surge in experience points.
It was originally according to his estimation.
It won't be upgraded until at least tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, it went much faster than he expected.
After taking a look at the wheat seeds that were still mostly ungerminated, he went directly to the wheat field and cast nurturing magic on them one by one.
With the infusion of life energy.
The dormant seeds also began to sprout.
[Successful planting, experience value +1]
…
[Successful planting, experience value +1]
…
[Successful planting, experience value +1]
…
Probably because of ordinary plants, sprouting only gives 1 experience point.
But even so.
When the sixteenth wheat seedling broke out of the ground, the experience value still reached the full value, and a surge of energy poured into the body.
[Professional level improvement, lv5 → lv6]
[Experience value: 0/60]
In the blink of an eye.
Rhodes is one step closer to his first-level goal. Not only are the bark branches on his body stronger, but the magic power in his body is also becoming more abundant.
only……
"Why haven't you learned new professional skills yet?"
Rhodes frowned slightly. He only had the professional skill [Cultivation] now. Although the effect was powerful, it was too inconsistent with his status as a gardener.
Moreover, cultivation, as the initial magic, can only be cast on one plant at a time.
It’s okay to have less plants now.
When more things are planted in the future, this magic alone will definitely not be enough. Are there any conditions that must be met to unlock it?
While thinking, Rhodes cast a spell.
After the entire wheat field was irrigated, he went to the nearby plantation and found the little thing chasing and playing with Soul Raven under the small tree. He shook his head helplessly.
What a playful guy.
However.
Just as he was about to cast spells on the plants in the plantation, he suddenly froze.
"strangeness."
"Why did you suddenly become so tall?"
Rhodes looked at the small shaking tree in surprise.
In just one night, it actually grew nearly half a meter taller, which was more than the previous two days combined. The blooming branches and leaves almost covered the other two small trees.
Even for the first plant planted, the gap is a bit too big!
Wait a moment……
suddenly.
Rhodes thought of something.
Looking towards the wheat field not far away.
Based on what he knew about the little tree, he probably didn't think it was because there was an extra field of wheat seedlings nearby competing for nutrients that caused it to suddenly grow so high.
The more I think about it.
It feels more and more outrageous.
But it seems impossible to refute.
"You guys don't rely on nutrition to grow taller, you rely entirely on the support of your peers!"
Rhodes couldn't laugh or cry.
I was amused by this weird way of growing.
I mentioned how other plants would wilt after being removed. It turns out that the growth rate of this small tree depends entirely on the lushness of the surrounding plants.
The more plants there are.
The growth rate is faster.
It’s so outrageous!
Wow~
As if in response to his words, the branches and leaves of the small tree swayed gently, making a rustling sound.
Don't say it.
The level of intelligence seems to be higher than that of other plants. I am afraid that there will be no chance of being born with intelligence and evolving into a tree spirit in the future.
"Okay, let's keep it long and get a few more jungle souls out in the future to make the forest lively."
After muttering to himself, Rhodes ignored the little tree and continued to water other plants in the plantation.
When the little thing who was chasing and playing saw the rain, he quickly ran over and took root in the soil. He shook the newly grown branches and leaves on his head with a look of enjoyment, just like a puppy taking a bath under the faucet.
"Gah!"
Just then.
The soul raven hovering in the sky sounded an early warning.
Rhodes immediately stopped what he was doing and looked outside. He vaguely felt a rumbling sound approaching, and his expression couldn't help but change.
Black beast!
And there’s more than one!
Without caring too much, he hurriedly ran out of the plantation and came outside, where he saw a huge black shadow approaching rapidly in the distance.
Apparently he was attracted by the breath of life here.
"Little thing, prepare to fight!"
No need for Rod to say anything.
The little thing that sensed the danger had drawn out its short spear and came to him.
Until then.
Only then did Rhodes finally see clearly the appearance of the black shadow.
Astonishingly, they were three tree demons that had completely turned black.
Every time the huge rhizome took a step, the entire ground shook. The branches on its body were tangled and twisted, exuding a rich black air, and it was obvious that it had been completely contaminated by the black soil.
[Twisted Tree Demon lv5]
[Twisted Tree Demon lv5]
[Crazy Tree Demon lv6]
fine.
The level is not high.
The highest level is only equal to Rhodes.
However, he did not dare to be careless. After all, there was one more combatant on the other side.
Even if he and the little thing dealt with one each, the remaining one would not have much strength left.
"Be careful, saving your life is important."
After telling the little thing, Rhode raised his hands, and two magic circles appeared in his hands almost at the same time, and were quickly constructed in front of him.
This was the result of his continuous casting during this period.
He could barely do two things at the same time and construct two elementary magics at the same time, but the magic power consumption would increase accordingly.
But now he could not care so much.
In addition, with the altar behind him, he could always be replenished by the Moon Spring, so he could give it a try without any scruples.
"Roar!!"
Finally, three tree demons rushed into the altar range and let out a thunderous roar.
Their target was not Rhode, but they opened their scarlet eyes and went straight to the plants in the plantation.
"Want to cause trouble? Take my giant root technique!"
Boom——
The magic light exploded.
A giant vine rushed out from under the top-level frenzied tree demon, piercing through its lower body, and its forward momentum suddenly stopped.
The little thing was even more fearless, and quickly rushed to another tree demon that was more than ten times larger than itself, jumped directly on it and stabbed it, forcing it to retreat again and again.
In a blink of an eye.
The two tree demons were successfully restrained.
However, before Rhodes could be happy.
The remaining one had already inserted its roots into the ground, turning into black tentacles that quickly swam on the ground and spread towards the plantation.
"Ga!"
The soul raven in the air screamed, and instinctively wanted to protect the plants, so it swooped down from the air.
But it was a soul body after all, and the attack only pecked off one of the tentacles, and was immediately forced back by the death energy escaping from it.
Rhodes gritted his teeth.
Prepared to change the target of attack.
Unexpectedly, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded from the side.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Countless blood-colored vines rushed out of the ground and entangled with the black tentacles, blocking them all outside the plantation.
"Dragon Blood Vine!"
Rhodes was overjoyed and extremely surprised.
Because these suddenly appearing blood-colored vines were the dragon blood vines he planted a few days ago to make fences for the altar and plantation!
