Chapter 20: Out of the Canyon, The Outside World

"Twitter~!"

The monkey boss touched the back of his head and returned to the canyon with the black hound.

Behind them, there are many small pets following cautiously, looking wary and uneasy.

I don't know what's going on, but it's definitely a big deal!

Because, after a concussion just now.

The mother tree that they usually get along with day and night has changed 'greatly'!

What the hell is going on?

If it weren't for the fact that I had experienced similar situations several times before, the little pets would probably have been scared away.

The pets slowly walked to the big tree with blank eyes.

In their eyes, this tree looks like a giant standing up to the sky and the earth, and like a mighty sentinel!

I saw that the thick, straight trunk of the tree was high in the sky, and the tip of the tree was above the edge of the high-altitude canyon, as if it had grown for many years.

"It's finally over."

Thirty meters, a height he never thought he would be able to reach.

Fortunately, there is no fear of heights......

"It's a pity, it's not a thirty-meter giant."

Charlotte complained every day, if it was a giant, then it could also go to the novice village to wreak havoc and kick down the city wall after the player arrived, so that humans could once again recall the fear of being dominated by giants.

Come on!

Now that I'm finally out of the canyon, let's see what's going on around you.

What is the outside world like?

Ever since she was reborn as a tree, this thought has always crossed Charlotte's mind.

Now I can finally see it.

The air outside the canyon is very turbid.

He felt like he was in a haze, and he was very uncomfortable.

Charlotte looks around from a full perspective, trying to find familiar references to find where she is.

Looking around, you can see that all around you is a desolate scene of yellow sand.

The wind and dust are rolling, and the sky is full of sand and sand traversing the wind and current.

If you look closely at the barren land, the wind blows a dead tree without half a leaf.

The tree looks so pathetic.

There is not a single leaf present, and the branches are crooked and deformed, but the trunk is strong and stands.

Looking at it, Charlotte felt a little cold.

On the horizon of the loess in the distance, sand and dust are billowing and the sky is eclipse.

After half an hour of observation, Charlotte came up with a summary in her heart:

It's deserted, what a place where birds don't!

"Hell, it's the desert?"

Xia Luo felt a little regretful in her heart, she didn't expect that above this mysterious canyon, there would be such a ghost area.

It's amazing!

He finally rushed away from his birthplace, and actually encountered this boundless bad scene again.

This place, it is estimated that it is difficult to trigger any plot.

"Absorb nutrients from soil and water....gain 0.19 experience ......"

I'll go, there's so little energy...

Charlotte mobilized the roots of the tree and inserted them into the sand to absorb energy, but found that it had no effect for a long time.

It seems that in the desert, it is difficult for him to reap any benefits.

Oh, it's bumpy, it's really unfortunate!

"Let's wait and see!"

Charlotte adjusted her mentality, didn't complain about her fate, and didn't care about the situation here.

He focused his attention on his own attribute changes:

[Host: Charlotte]

【Race: Fire Tree】

[Template: NPC (1.0 beta countdown 339 days, 5 hours and 16 minutes)]

[Subclass: None (0/50)]

[Skill Aura Points: 1]

[Faction: Neutral]

[Level: 20]

[Attributes: Strength 11.5, Agility 7.1, Endurance 12.2, Intelligence 15, Luck 10]

[HP: 1560]

[Energy: 1420]

[Magical Damage: 0]

[Strength 0 (Increases Unit Attack)]

【Defense 0 (Increases Unit Defense)】

[Ability: Absorb nutrients, tree roots and minions, psychedelic resin, fire tree source flame]

[Talents: Infinite Growth, Poison Immunity]

[Level: E (Beginner)]

[Class: None]

[Resources: None]

[Title: None]

There is a watershed every ten levels, and this time it breaks through to level 20, and there is a big change in information.

Charlotte looked at the properties panel several times, and was very satisfied.

These days, how much discomfort and helplessness he has experienced, only he knows.

The difficulty of this game is much higher than when a player reaches level 20!

To be honest, it was the first time that Charlotte had stood still and could enjoy the experience of upgrading.

So, he has a great sense of accomplishment.

"Now I ......"

"The height of the tree is thirty meters, the maximum number of roots is one hundred meters, and the maximum number of roots and minions is two hundred and sixty-two."

After upgrading as usual, Charlotte silently observed the condition of the tree.

He felt much stronger, enough to deal with most of the map monsters in the Misty Forest.

At this time, the mechanical voice echoed in his ears:

"The host has awakened the second template of the skill tree, and you can upgrade it to gain abilities."

Charlotte was silent.

He broke through level 20 this time and didn't get the racial ability reward, and then he lit up the skill aura, so he must be cautious.

He opens the template next to it!

When consciousness is just generated, open this new template—

I saw that with my own red leaf tree as the background picture, a new template with two circular skill hubs embedded on one side appeared.

The secondary hub panel, with two circular skill hubs, is clearly an inactive gray form.

"One is sowing seeds, and the other is leaf hardening."

These are all very normal abilities, but if you study them carefully, you can always find the advantages they bring.

Hardened Leaves, which hardens a large area of the leaves on your body to increase attack speed and additional damage, and may also bring a 'bleeding' effect.

Regardless, this is a great support skill.

As for sowing, it is the ability to sprinkle seeds on a specific target to absorb energy and grow.

Unfortunately, this skill is limited by level.

At the initial level, when the energy is replenished, the seed sprouts and grows to a level 10 [Normal Tree Monster]

It's a pity that it's not a gourd baby!

It is worth mentioning that Charlotte previously cut off some of the roots of the tree and planted them on the surrounding ground.

After observation, these broken branches can successfully break the ground and sprout and grow, but they can only become landscape trees, which are not of much use.

This ability is different.

Before the old seeds are completely removed.

Charlotte sows ten seeds to the outside world at most, which is equivalent to having a clone.

On top of that, he was able to use these clones to switch perspectives and see what was going on around him.

Suppose, drop a seed into the monkey boss.

When the other party runs to the outside world, Charlotte can also see the relevant scene in real time, and the distance is limited to less than ten kilometers.

It's much easier than controlling the root minions to explore the outside world.

So, Charlotte didn't hesitate too much and chose the latter.

"Sow seeds!"

Just like the psychedelic resin of the last time, the moment he just made his choice.

The imperceptible red crystal in the upper right corner suddenly 'exploded' into a sparkling light.

The red fragments of light were quickly all injected into the target.

"Buzz~!" The originally gray round skill hub suddenly bloomed with a unique light.

"Didi, congratulations to the host for gaining the new ability to 'seed'!" A mechanical voice reminded.

【Ability: Sowing】

[Introduction: Scatter the seeds on the target, absorb a small amount of energy, and sprout and grow.] 】

[Effect: Shared Perspective, Mind Control, Normal Ability Input]

[Current Seed Count: 10/10]

【Seed Clone Level: Level 1~10】

[Evaluation: Seeds are hard to find!] Trust your ability to reproduce, and your seed will grow vigorously as long as it is injected into the right target. 】

Looking at the detailed description of the skill, Charlotte nodded with satisfaction.

Leaf hardening, although it's a pretty good skill.

For him now, sowing is more valuable and practical.

And in the later stage, Charlotte can re-light the leaves and harden them to increase her combat power.
