BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 - 137: In the midst of the forest, the ferocious first appears (3K)_1
Mu Yuan took another look at the other major systems.
The number of Slimes has increased to 350, with only a few more Golden Slimes and Silver Slimes among the rare troops, and no major changes otherwise.
He planned to save most of the Evolution Points for the gluttonous Duo Lai. These days, the remnant that cost Lord Shepherd the most Soul Crystals was the Falcon’s Residual Soul.
The Hurricane War Hawk was practically his eyes and ears.
However, there were too few falcon-type soldiers in the territory before, and sometimes a few were bought and killed in battle shortly after, almost stopping the growth in numbers.
It was challenging to accumulate the Evolution Points needed to evolve one or two more Storm Falcons.
And if they do not evolve to the Rare Three-star Stage, there will be no 98% success rate when breaking through the Professional level, which would be too risky.
Lord Shepherd was reluctant to use the limited spots in the Breakthrough Dojo for the Hurricane War Hawks which only had an 80% chance of breaking through.
Even though,
With the upgrading of the territory, the usable quota of the Breakthrough Dojo has increased to 60. However, compared to the increasing number of ‘Great Perfection Level 9’ troops, the spots in the Dojo are still tight.
After acquiring the ‘Black Wasteland’ and having a somewhat less skinny wallet, Mu Yuan began to spend heavily and at high prices to purchase Falcon’s Residual Souls.
Fortunately, the newbie trials were over and there were not that many whales competing, he finally managed to buy…
More than one hundred Falcon’s Residual Souls!
Finally, he managed to form a reconnaissance corps, headed by ‘Jun’, with some scale – 12 Storm Falcons, 40 Hurricane War Hawks, and various Battle
Falcons.
The last of the natural factions was slightly increased in number.
He also evolved some additional ‘Flower Fairies’ and ‘Freeman Guards’, but not in large numbers, most of the Evolution Points were saved.
Because, the ace of the third main force, the Tree Demon Granny, already has a considerable foundation, only one evolution away from a complete
transformation.
Mu Yuan did not forget that the Tree Demon Granny was a troop with great potential and self-consciousness from the moment of its birth.
Get up quickly, it’s not old enough to retire yet.
The Treeman Forest was serene and tranquil, with a stream trickling and Flower Fairies and Flower Sprites frolicking in it.
And Slimes…
“Gooji–”
A Slime screams with a drawn-out sound, rolling out of the forest.
Duo Lai glanced over contemptuously. It had long passed the age of eating leaves and knew to wait until mealtime to enjoy the delicacies.
in the heart of the forest, the Tree Demon Granny leisurely enjoyed the sun, like a retired elder.
The Tree Demon Granny doesn’t feel young at heart.
Even though its existence was only a mere twenty or so days old, it was extraordinary from the moment it was born.
It was an Excellent Tier troop.
This tier has already entered the realm of high rank. The Tree Demon Granny was born with the blessing of the world and woke up with self-consciousness the moment she was born.
And received racial heritage.
just as if it had lived through many a lifecycle of a Treeman, the Tree Demon Granny comprehended many principles and common sense, as soon as it woke up to consciousness and intelligence.
How to take care of tree branches;
To choose the soil that best suited to its roots,
The thousand-year sleep of a Treeman;
And so on, the Tree Demon Granny claimed to be well-informed.
“The life of a person, the life of a tree, is destined from the moment of birth, the barrier of ranks cannot be overcome, goblins will always be goblins, while dragons are born at the top of the world, but…”
More than ten days ago, she witnessed the evolution of the Flower Fairy. The Tree Demon Granny’s worldviews, she felt, were all shattered at the time. In the common sense she received from her inheritance, if she hadn’t gotten it wrong, only those who were one in a thousand or even million, only those with great talent and opportunity, could possibly evolve, right?
But what did she see? Flower Fairies, Flower Sprites, one after another evolved.
What she perceived as miracles were wholesale like they were free.
‘They still cost money.’
‘The higher the order of the evolution, the more difficult it is and the more it consumes.’
So said Lord.
The Tree Demon Granny thought this was reasonable… reasonable my ass.
It was a cultured tree!
And today, Lord had decided to grant her the light of evolution.
“My old bones, can I evolve too?”
“Of course, it’s all basic-”
Duo Lai preemptively answered, acting like an old senior.
Mu Yuan slowly walked over from afar, with Flower Fairies fluttering around him or perching on his shoulder.
He lifted his hand towards the gigantic ancient tree.
With a distant wave.
The light of evolution was then dropped.
This power was mysterious and hard to explain; only those who had experienced it firsthand would understand the miracle.
At this moment, the Tree Demon Granny, bathed in the miracle, transformed into light. In the light, its tree body kept growing and becoming stronger, and even stronger!
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom? !
The ground began to tremble. This transformation caused a huge commotion. Countless thick brown roots jumped out like earth dragons, stirring the soil upside down, even threatening to affect the surrounding trees.
Some trees couldn’t sit still, pulling their roots out of the ground and running off.
These were the ordinary Treemen that had rooted around the area.
But there were still many ordinary trees around which did not have the ability to move.
Suddenly, an invisible force spread out from the still-evolving Tree Demon Granny. The next moment, the surrounding trees seemed to come alive, moving out with the surging ground, clearing out large areas of space.
Finally,
‘Ding!’
‘Mood Soul Drowning Roots: When rooted in the earth, War Tree Man can absorb a large amount of Earth’s Force and energy from plants to restore his own energy and body. At the same time, the power and defense of the War Tree Man will significantly increase when rooted.
■Growth of Ten Thousand Woods: Can control his branches, becoming more sturdy while rapidly growing, this skill can also be applied to surrounding trees.’
The Tree Demon Granny probably used this skill earlier, which influenced the surrounding trees to a certain extent.
However, this kind of growth is different from the growth of the Flower Fairies. It’s more like overstepping growth, a destructive mad growth. For the War Tree Man and Ancient Tree Man, this move is best used on themselves, controlling the roots to whip at enemies.
Their bodies are the strongest weapons.
War weapons.
The notification sound suddenly rang again.
‘Notifcation: Your troop Tree Demon Granny got a little insight during evolution, learning the skill ‘Realm of Thousand Woods’, this skill possesses…’
This seems to be a venue skill like ‘Withered Bone Land !
Could it be that the Tree Demon Granny also has the form of the little Dead
Bone?
Duo Lai hasn’t even gotten a clue about the venue skills yet.
No, probably, Duo Lai is just too stupid.
Mu Yuan thought for sure.
Everything is ready, the Tianyuan Territory’s main army has already set off.
Even though Dead Bone hopes that he will sit and guard the territory, this time the Great Lord Shepherd has decided to go with the army. It’s not because he particularly wants to fight, but because some things can only be done by the
Lord.
“If things are as expected, then we can use battle strategy A.
in the corps, Mu Yuan, dressed in black armor, hides among the Skeleton Generals, inconspicuously.
He looks around him.
The underground space is very dark with only some special moss giving off a faint light that doesn’t drive much of the darkness away.
incredibly eerie, it always feels like a great horror could pounce out any time.
Mu Yuan’s mood is unusually calm, not nervous at all.
Occassionally, battles break out in the distance, stray arrows fly by, but his face remains unchanged, as natural as if he was back at home.
After all,
He is a man who has experienced death dozens of times!
“Based on the investigation, the headquarters of the monster tribe are inside the ancient underground city area, and the roads through the underground city…”
There are currently three discovered routes.
The first route is the most secretive, but the path is quite narrow.
The second route is spacious, but it goes through a flowing underground river
and requires a longer journey.
The third route is just right, going through the quiet forest, but this road has a complex environment, suitable for hiding troops.
“So, we will take the third route.”
“This route… I see.”
Dead Bone understands.
DUO Lai also understands along with Dead Bone, the light of wisdom shining in his eyes… wait, why are we taking the third route?
The main corps has no weak ones, so the rugged road is as easy as walking on a flat path.
Soon, the silent forest comes into view.
The flora here is all black and purple, not very tall, and they grow crookedly. In the dark environment, they look like a bunch of grimacing devils.
The devils suddenly tear off their disguise, revealing sharp teeth and tusks.
There are many cave people, crypt spiders, jackal men, lizard people, and even higher-order creatures like Man Niu Soldiers and Dark Night Stalkers etc. They appear from all directions, instantly making the silent forest raucously lively with constant sounds of killing.
Slash——– 1
The outermost Skeleton General swings his sword, a single strike killing several cave people and lizard people.
But, the number of hidden soldiers greatly exceed their imagination, it seems that the enemy’s goal is not only to wear down their strength, but to completely bury them here.
Even if the Skeleton General can face a hundred enemies alone, they will eventually be drowned in the surging tide.
At this time, the strong ones in the monster tribe have also started to move.
“It’s about time.”
Mu Yuan said.
Having said that, he lifts his hand, the Lord’s Seal on the back of his hand shines brightly, casting a huge figure in the dense forest not far away!
The War Tree Man has entered the stage!
The Tree Demon Granny, who was well-prepared, appeared and began to root herself all around and extended her roots into the earth. At the same time, she began to madly absorb the surrounding Earth’s Force and energy from plants using the roots that were spreading.
Plants and trees with black and purple leaves started to wither at a visible speed.
Meanwhile, the already massive body of the Tree Demon Granny started to grow rapidly again.
The hands resembling tree roots with some leaves on them gently came together in front of it.
The power radiated in all directions.
The ground churned, roots as tough as earth dragons broke out from the ground and turned the surrounding land into a world of trees in the blink of an eye.
These roots wrapped around the monsters, binding and strangling each of them.
And absorbed their corpses and blood as fertiliser.
Invisibly, the talent ‘Mood Soul Drowning Roots’ seemed to have changed slightly, with large blood-colored buds growing out from the roots, slowly blooming.
Inside, there were grotesque monsters covered in slimy liquids.
They suddenly opened their eyes.
And jumped down.
This is probably the peace-loving War Tree Man..
