Chapter 180: Grande the Shepherd
The scene fell silent, and a rabbit looked up blankly to look around, then its fur exploded and it ran away.
The sound of it running away sounded, and then herbivores kept waking up from a dream and turning their heads to flee.
Roars rang out, and in an instant, the animals disappeared before Angela's eyes.
Angela took out her long sword, took out strips of cloth, sat down by the tree, and wiped it carefully.
On the tree, the broken human face was sprayed with green sap and ran down the trunk.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
……
The ground trembled, and loud voices came and went.
Whoa......
The leaves rub and the branches are squeezed apart.
A large, stout, low tree appeared in front of Angela.
This is a sapient creature, a special monster, the same as the orc elves, somewhere between plants and animals.
It's just that he's more inclined to plants.
He's a rarer than a dragon - a tree herder.
Angela raised her head and looked at him carefully: "I really didn't expect that there would be a tree shepherd here, and the old dryad was really unlucky." It's too small for you, though. ”
The image of the shepherd resembles a banyan tree, with a dark brown torso, a vast canopy, dark green leaves, thick arms and legs with roots entwined.
The Treants and Elves summon and control the Treants are different, and although they are very similar, they are fundamentally different.
The tree herdsman has his own mind, has his own culture, has a long lifespan, and can control plants, animals and even some monsters, which the tree man cannot compare to in any way.
The forest is the grange of the shepherds, who are like hard-working old farmers, developing the scale of the forest, and then extracting part of the nutrients from the forest to feed themselves, and anyone who destroys the forest or the forest is the enemy of the herdsman.
Again, as a competitor.
The relationship between the Shepherd and the Elves is not very good, so where there are Elves there are no Shepherds, and where there are Shepherds, there are no Elves.
"It's small, but it's very potential."
The old voice sounded, and the shepherd smiled happily, as if I had picked up a treasure, and it was hard to imagine that his face full of wood could make such a rich expression: "The land here is so rich in nutrients, and the weather here is strange, I believe that after the Dark Ages, this place will become a forest." ”
It's no wonder that in just ten years, it has become an oasis and full of life.
"Congratulations." Angela said, "I'm out of trouble and I'm getting out of here too." ”
"Well, I'd like to invite you as a guest, but in that case, I won't force you to stay."
"Hypocrisy!" Angela scolded in her heart, but she knew that this shepherd had never thought of keeping her here as a guest, and the reason why he appeared was to drive her away.
The Shepherd was able to take in the hunters because he needed them to hunt some animals and keep the ecology of the area in balance.
But he couldn't keep Angela, because Angela's strength exceeded his cordon.
Don't look at the shepherd's smile all day long, a wise and kind old man, but in fact it is a grande, the loss of a tree is distressing, the loss of ten trees will be desperate with people.
As for the unlucky old dryad, as soon as she was discovered, the tree herders regarded her as a mortal enemy, which caused the tree herders to encircle and suppress her.
If those animals can't kill the old dryad, the tree herder will manipulate the plants to strangle the old dryad.
It's just that I'm afraid that manipulating plants will cause too much damage to this oasis, so it's been useless.
In short, this old dryad is dead.
Angela raised her sword, glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, withdrew the scabbard at her waist, then stood up, patted her ass and said, "I'm going to take my booty, you don't mind." ”
The tree herder frowned, the old dryad's face was not only useless to the tree herder, but would pollute the plants here.
However, this does not mean that he is willing to give this thing to someone else, and he is more willing to destroy it himself than to give it to someone else.
But I looked at Angela again, and thought in my heart that it would be cost-effective to give this thing to Angela and send Angela away.
He nodded immediately, and the huge canopy rattled: "Yes, but you must get out of here overnight." ”
"Yes." Angela said, "Do it, I'm afraid I'll hurt the foundation of this tree." ”
With that, Angela stepped aside and picked up a dead elk.
"What are you doing?" The shepherd raised his voice.
Angela said, of course, "Hungry, eat!" You shouldn't be reluctant! ”
"Of course I'm not reluctant, but, but ......"
The shepherd's brow furrowed, his heart tangled.
Angela is not a nearby hunter, and Lazar will not be on the land here, and will not be buried here after death, so the loss of the elk's carcass will be lost in vain.
The carcasses of animals, which could be used as fertilizer, were given to Angela, and he felt so painful in his heart.
"It's shameful to waste, so be it, you eat as much as you want."
Angela's eyes widened: "Please, I still have to hurry, I have to take some with me!" ”
"No, that's it, it's not going to work." The shepherd's beard cocked and glared at Angela.
Angela shrugged: "Then I don't want that thing anymore, I'll stay here for a few more days, there are a lot of enemies behind my ass chasing me, wait until they chase here, in case they do something to cut down trees and set fires......"
Cold sweat broke out on the shepherd's forehead: "Wait, you can take some with you, but you can't bring too much......
"By the way, I still need fire, don't you mind chopping some firewood!"
"You ......" The tree herdsman's eyes widened, he didn't expect Angela to be so aggressive, but looking at Angela's unscrupulous appearance, he waved his hand weakly: "You are not allowed to chop wood, but you can pick up some dead branches." ”
……
The moonlight slowly rose, and Angela carried a huge package on her back and walked away against the whistling sand and dust.
She turned her head to look at the oasis behind her, and pouted disdainfully: "Grande." ”
In the oasis, the shepherd looked at the carcass of the elk that was missing a leg, and his heart throbbed, and then he walked out of the woods with his huge legs, walked to the ashes left by Angela's barbecue food, stretched out his hands and returned to the woods with the ashes, and suddenly the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned imperceptibly, so that he could compensate for a little loss.
Speaking of losses, he thought of that leg again, covered his chest, a little panting, no, it was too heart-wrenching, he felt that he would be depressed for the next few days.
No, we have to find a way to make up for the loss, so it's better to let those hunters build a toilet in here, and let those hunters and their families defecate here.
Well, that's a good idea.
The shepherd nodded with satisfaction, as for whether it was safe to come to the woods in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, he didn't care, even if he died in the woods, he would earn it, and he would make a lot of money.
Well, let's do it, and I'll tell them my decision tomorrow when they're hunting.
