Chapter 45: Just Hold on, What Else Can You Do?

A line of subtitles appeared on the computer screen.

[The Skinner's faith has completely disappeared nearby, and his followers will begin to search for new gods. 】

Lu Yao suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Deep underground, Isabel and her party never encountered the [Crazy Molting Monster] again, and at the end was a spiral upward passage.

Lu Yao took a look and saw that the screen had moved back to the big map. This location was in a hidden area deep in the northern forest. It's just that the environment here is a bit special. The surrounding trees and grass were burned to death, and the ground was covered with black ashes.

In the center of this black area, stands a black stone sculpture of the Skinner, with dense red eyeballs covering the statue.

Pieces of firewood were piled around the base of the Skinner sculpture, and a fire burned on them as if they had not been extinguished for many years.

Isabelle stood next to the statue with a dialog box above her head.

"Sir, these ignited logs are the remains of the tree people's bodies."

"These flames have been burning the souls of the tree people, making it impossible for them to return to the Sea of ​​Immortality."

The cave wizard Morimi also said: "Master Apostle, this is the destination guided by the bark of the tree. There may be relics left by the forest god hidden here."

Due to many years of inheritance and almost loss of writing, the Mori clan has limited knowledge of tree bark.

Isabel looked around.

"Sir, if you destroy this altar, you can let the souls of the tree people rest in peace. Maybe you can get more news from the dead. Do you want to destroy this place?"

Lu Yao agreed.

After Isabel accepted the order, she summoned the holy sword.

She waved the holy sword and slashed it down quickly, and the surface of the Skinned Man statue emitted a faint red light. But soon, it shattered into a pile of black rubble.

The flames under the statue seemed to have lost their power, and the flames quickly shrank and soon went out.

Isabel stood leaning on her sword. Dots of green light emerged from the ashes of the debris on the ground, and these green lights condensed into a tall brown humanoid.

【Treant】.

Lu Yao double-clicked the tree man and got a more detailed data panel.

…

[Treant LV20] [Created by Isabel]

HP: 990/990

Mana: 222/222

Damage: 20

Defense: 25

Speed: 7

【Thick skin】

Innately possess higher health points.

【Self-reproduction】

Can give birth to new larvae.

[Leaf Shooting Lv15]

Launch leaves to attack enemies from a distance.

【Resuscitation LV15】

It can continuously restore health when it rains.

[Forest Elements LV1]

Forest elemental creatures are beneficial to the rapid growth of the forest, and all attributes in the forest increase. Effects depend on ability level and health.

…

Lu Yao looked at the panel description front and back.

Treants are suitable for positional combat, with balanced offense and defense, and strong health and resistance to beatings, but they are slow. Therefore, when using a treant, you must let it stand as a human shield or confront it head-on. The forest is its advantageous home field.

If the tree man's life continues to decrease, he can also use [Rainfall] to add blood to it.

The only pity is that [Forest Sword] only created one tree man this time, and the conversion rate is not particularly ideal. However, due to the existence of the [self-reproduction] ability, in theory, as long as the time is long enough, this tree man can serve as a mother body and continuously give birth to new tree men.

After creating the tree people, Isabelle's body radiated white light.

[Dying Prayer] ability is activated.

Wisps of black smoke emerged from the ground, and this time the black smoke finally slowly wrapped around and turned into a writhing black ball of the dead.

Isabel and Black Ball had an encrypted call.

During the conversation, Isabel also faced Lu Yao and performed simultaneous interpretation.

"...This was originally the altar of the Forest God, and it was also the original core of spreading the Forest God's faith in this fragmented world."

"When the God of the Forest fell, this place was invaded by two foreign gods [The Whistler] and [The Skinner]."

"The invading legions they sent burned down large tracts of forests and shattered altars, hoping to find the main god space [Golden Fields] in the center of all the dimensional worlds of the forest god."

"...[The Skinner] pulled out the bark from all the trees, and part of it was made into the [Crazy Molting Monster], and the other part became the fuel for this peeling altar."

"[Golden Field] is the divine treasure house of the forest god. The tree people said they don't know the specific location."

"That is a special world that can only be entered through trials."

"The first trial known to the treants was to rekindle the forests of this ancient land, to turn the deserts back into forests, and to make the mountains revegetate."

"In addition, there is another requirement. The tester has not regarded the faith of the Forest God as a hostile faith."

Lu Yao thought.

In layman's terms, it means a variety of trees.

Can you complete the first trial by doing greening?

Lu Yao felt that this condition was a bit unreliable, so he typed to ask Isabel.

"My lord, what you said is absolutely correct. This is the test that needs to be completed to become the successor of the Forest God."

She explained: "The God of the Forest was once the main god with a high status. The [Golden Field] is a priceless treasure trove for any god."

"If you can, my lord, please don't miss this opportunity."

Lu Yao thought about it for a while.

If you plant a tree, you will most likely lose some faith to activate [Miracle].

Anyway, in the long run, tree people are the indispensable backbone of his subordinates, and afforestation is also a general direction. Planting trees earlier is like laying out investment earlier.

There is no place to spend the 10,000+ faith in the account anyway.

Faith must be spent to create more value, otherwise it is just a number.

The blood knights are now indiscriminate and are going crazy in the castle. It will take a while to take it down.

Then plant trees!

…

For god players, planting trees is not difficult. Just activate the [rainfall] of [miracle], and then [scorching sun] again, and alternate between the two, and the other tree people can handle it.

The whole process is like kneading dough.

One layer of rain, one layer of sun, more rain means sun, and stronger sun means rain.

As a god, it is important for Lu Yao to prepare enough faith and activate [miracle] on a large scale.

And to cover the entire southern desert and western mountains, the cost of faith is higher than he thought.

The situation on the mountain is slightly better.

After 15 [rainfalls] and 11 [scorching suns], plus the [forest element] ability of the tree man, green sprouts basically appeared on the bald mountains.

The desert was the hardest hit area.

Lu Yao rained 40 [rainfalls] and 35 [scorching suns] before completing the initial coverage of the desert and letting green seedlings grow in the desert.

These two rounds cost a total of 1,700 points of faith.

The mountains were the icing on the cake. There were trees and grasses. Although there were fewer, there was a foundation. So after the first round of rainfall and sun exposure, the green there gradually became dense.

The situation in the desert was much more complicated.

What Lu Yao didn't expect was that the first one to come out to cause trouble was the sandworm.

It seemed that they realized that these saplings had some potential harm to them, and the sandworms began to secretly smash and turn over the saplings, which made Lu Yao so angry that he sent Isabel to squat directly there.

Whoever dares to destroy the green mountains must die!

After Isabel killed more than a dozen sandworms, the sandworms finally realized that their lives were more important. Most of them migrated to the sandy coast in the south, and a small part of them went deeper underground.

In short, this group of desert natives gave in.

Before Lu Yao could breathe a sigh of relief, the subsequent troubles in the desert came again. Many saplings withered before they could grow up, and they needed a lot of rain and light.

He had to try again and again, and after consuming more than 1,000 points of faith to activate [Miracle], he finally stabilized the situation in the desert.

Staying up late is the epitaph of those who stay up late.

At 12 o'clock, Lu Yao lay in bed, his eyelids fighting with sleepiness.

But he couldn't sleep, and his mind was always thinking about those pixelated saplings, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the computer screen on the table...

Stay up, what else can I do.

Thanks to the fried kidney flower for supporting 4,500 starting coins.
