102. Pine cones
Rainwater continues to drip into the holy spring, splashing and rippling.
Even if it is diluted by rainwater, the effect of the holy spring water is still there.
Is the disappearance of the water in the bottle due to some mechanism to prevent the holy spring water from being taken out of the altar?
If it's raining, you don't have to worry about catching a cold.
Xia Zuo began to try various methods.
Presumably the backpack belongs to another space, is it okay to put it in the backpack and take it out of the altar?
But the moment the glass bottle refilled with spring water was put into the backpack, the water in the bottle disappeared again.
The name of the item in the inventory slot is still "Empty Glass Bottle".
Xia Zuo scratched his head.
Holding a handful of water and throwing it out of the altar, it also reached the edge of the altar and disappeared into thin air, as if it had never existed.
It seems that if you leave the altar area, or move from the altar to another space, the spring water will disappear.
"Letting Rodney use his handy 'Gate Circle' won't work either." Xia Zuo sighed regretfully.
Even so, there is no way, fortunately, there is more than one altar in the world, so I temporarily gave up the idea of packing.
Bai Ho had been waiting for a long time—staring at the lush green grass in the shade of the trees.
soothed Bai Ho's side face for a while.
Xia Zuo blinked and clicked "Get on the horse", patted his legs, and drove away from this place.
The rain was drizzling, the road ahead was slippery, and the forest road down the altar had just fogged.
There are arrows in the minimap to see, Xia Zuo doesn't have to worry about getting lost.
It was just a momentary slippery episode - four horses' hooves drifting diagonally on the muddy ground for a meter or two... Finally stopped the skidding and moved on safely.
Xia Zuo was a little frightened, and he didn't know whether it should be due to his newcomer's systematic equestrianism, or the commander's horse Bai Sui was more powerful.
Not long after, the rain stopped, and Xia Zuo had been choosing a light rain that would not last too long.
This moment is also the time for him to return to the village.
Passing through the vine wall that is being artificially restored, the shape of the houses in the village has been rebuilt.
This speed made Xia Zuo sigh slightly, and he couldn't help but slow down his horse speed and wait and see.
At the scene, under the separate command of craftsmen Horf and Ola, soldiers and civilians are working together to build houses, and the efficiency can be imagined.
"You're back, guest." Holf greeted Xia Zuo as he passed by, and smiled with his teeth, "It's really a beautiful white horse, it's quite suitable for you." ”
"It's a pity that it was borrowed, so I have to return it."
"I haven't seen you all night, do you have a good meal when you go out?"
"Ah, there is... I brought something to eat. Xia Zuo replied reluctantly.
When he went out yesterday afternoon and came back this morning, he had not eaten anything, but he had drunk a lot of water.
"That's good." Horf picked up the hammer and grimaced.
Xia Zuo, who was about to leave the wooden house that was about to be completed, saw that several villagers and soldiers who were helping to repair it were passively pausing their work, and they didn't look busy at all.
"What's the matter, Uncle Blacksmith, you look listless, and you're not busy nailing down a plank... Is it because of the rain last night, and I was not feeling well while I was out at work!? ”
Xia Zuo suddenly reacted, the rain he summoned might have made them catch a cold, and he blamed himself slightly.
"It didn't rain much last night, and it dried up when it hit me." Horf responded, "Is it raining a lot when guests go out?" ”
Kill it right away? Xia Zuo remembered that it didn't seem to be that small, maybe the farther away from the summoning point, the smaller the rain.
"That's right, we are now running out of materials, and we have no planks to continue our work, so we are very sad." Said a villager next to Holf.
"Wood? Aren't there a lot of birch trees outside the village? Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows, the only thing that is not lacking in this village may be birch trees.
They say there is no wood... Xia Zuo was shocked to find that a few blue honey trees on the hillock in the village were also missing—it seemed that they had been cut down, and the flowers of the blue honey trees were so sweet.
"No, no, no, the birch can't do it..."The villagers refused in panic, "That's the village defense set up by the village chief, if there is no one, it will be miserable if there is another enemy invasion, and it will be impossible for the army of the dragon slayer hero to hold it all the time." ”
"What's not to do!" Holf angrily leaned his hammer against the ground, "That old guy is so stingy that he won't lend me a few trees outside the village, and this time the goblins invaded, I didn't see much of a role in his tree." ”
"Don't say that, Uncle Holf, didn't the village chief arrive in time to save you?" The villagers persuaded.
"Hmph, I'm grateful for this, I'm just unhappy with what happened to the villagers, their homes have been destroyed, this mine still can't be guarded by just one person's strength, the risk is too great..."
"Let's put this matter aside for a while," Xia Zuo raised his hand, "Let's solve the problem of wood first." ”
“... Is there anything the guest can do? "Except for the birch forest, the nearby woods are too far away to transport." ”
"Right here, don't go anywhere." Xia Zuo blinked, dismounted neatly, and then took out a pine cone from his backpack and threw it on the ground.
Natsu's left palm is aimed at the seed, ready to blink at the skill shortcut.
"Ahh
"Huh?" Everyone was puzzled, what was Xia Zuo doing mysteriously?
"Alright." Xia Zuo winked at the skill.
In an instant, the Wind and Leaf Totem Circle of the God of Forest Wood was formed in front of his palm, scattering a burst of emerald green light.
Seeing the dazzling magic, everyone exclaimed in amazement. But it's more surprising to come.
Like a worm breaking out of a cocoon, the pine cone sprouts on the top and the roots emerge from the bottom and spread into the ground.
The main trunk of the sapling breaks through the pineal cone shell, and together with the roots, it grows thicker and longer.
The tremor was noticeable as the station and the nearby ground could be felt, and tall pine trees rose from the ground. The crowd stared at the top of the growing tree, their eyes raised higher and higher, until their throats and chin were almost in a vertical line.
"It's... The magic that makes trees grow faster! ”
"Is it the same type of magic as Mr. Village Chief? I remember that he used to grow taller when he was an old man..."
The villagers all raised their heads, did not put down for a long time, and communicated.
"No, that's a lot more powerful than the village chief... Whether it's the growth rate or the height of the tree, is this a pine?! taller than any pine tree I've ever seen...", Holf was amazed.
Of course, it is no less than the village chief, Xia Zuoxin said, since it has been promoted to max.
"Don't pick up the axe yet? How many pine trees there are. With that, Natsu slammed his left elbow into the trunk.
The ripe pine cones fell with a clatter, smashing above everyone's heads, and they hugged their heads one after another.
But except for Xia Zuo, although he did this, he didn't accept being smashed by the pine cone in his heart, and the automatic dodge led him to jump sideways repeatedly in the pine cone rain, dodging them all.
"Ah, I'm sorry," Natsu said with his hands folded on his left side. At first, I just wanted to make a few pine cones schematically, but I didn't expect Lv21's attack power to be so strong.
