Chapter 18: The Madness 3

Outside the Botanical Gardens.

With a diffuse wave of aura, Stephen had Taling 1 scan all the druids.

The situation is far from encouraging.

Because at the moment, they all have a radiation contamination index ranging from 15-30%, which is similar to the dark wizards who drink too much potion and produce a backlash, but these druids do not have the physical strength of the dark wizards, even if they kill themselves, they can continue to manipulate the corpse with their consciousness (living dead state). Under normal circumstances, if a dark wizard tosses their body to this extent, they are almost not far from death, but the special ability of trickery allows the dark wizard to continue to remain in the state of a 'living corpse' for a period of time, so the dark wizard can also transform himself into an undead form during this period.

That's how many lichs were born. (Note: The one who does not have a life box is the Necromancer.) )

The vast majority of the Druids who follow the Arondo-Shepherd have the characteristics of a tree, and many of them were once scholars of Zenda, who were transformed into Druids by the Enlightenment under the pressure of the Death Omen.

At first, the demonic characteristics of their bodies were hidden, but some side effects gradually manifested themselves as the battle ended. According to Stephen's analysis of their scans, none of these druids are pure natural druids, and their physical characteristics are somewhat like dark wizards, and they all have one thing in common, that is, they are parasitic about a demonic plant called 'Blood Thorn'. This plant is a strange plant that was bred from the seeds that Stephen brought to the Moon, and it has a very special ability to digest flesh and blood and convert it into its own mana.

This transformation is almost infinite, which means that as long as flesh and blood exist, then mana will be continuously regenerated.

It sounds a bit like the Corruption Scars of the Death Omen, which can also decompose flesh, except that they store the essence of flesh and blood to create new monsters.

Blood Thorns are the demonic plants that spawn from this environment, and the Arondo-Shepherd believes that they represent the wrath of nature, and he needs to harness this power to avenge nature. But in fact, in Stephen's opinion, he just used the power of this demonic plant and transplanted it into his own body, as if many dark wizards did it.

Dark wizards have also transplanted some of the monster's organs into their bodies to increase their strength.

However, Arondo - the Tree Shepherd is right, they are now indeed 'nature's scavengers', and Blood Thorn has achieved a companion state with them, which will give the druid a tree-like trait, and has a very amazing regeneration ability, many of the fatal points are removed due to the vegetative trait, and if they are hit hard, the Blood Thorn will passively activate the self-repair state, allowing them to regenerate and recover in a very short time. It is precisely because of this that the druids of the Arondo-Shepherd were able to hold off an army of monsters with a mere hundred men for so long.

The Blood Thorn is a magical plant that even Stephen doesn't know what to do with it, and it's even more unlikely that it will be removed from the druid's body.

So in this case, only a true master of the natural realm can save them.

"Let's go inside. ”

After all the druids had arrived, Stephen opened the barrier in front of him with a flick of his staff, and said in a deep voice, "Don't move around when you go in." I don't know yet what His attitude is toward you. ”

Truth be told, these druids are a bit 'deviant', and he's not sure if the Tree of Life will accept them.

As soon as the barrier was opened, a strong breath of life spread.

Meanwhile.

On the southern outskirts of Arantir, a recently popped mountain moved and then fell silent like a real mountain.

"Mother. What's wrong with you?" asked Lilia curiously, looking at her mother, who was suddenly stunned.

In front of her, a mature woman with a slightly tired face said, "It's nothing. I just didn't expect that there would be a wisdom ancient tree here-Elattic. ”

Near the castle lake.

After Stephen raised a part of Arantir and incorporated it into the Floating City, it became a large lake, and now there was a huge oak tree on the edge of the lake, and at this moment he slowly opened his eyes, and his expression was a little excited: "This ...... This is the breath of Father Nature......"

A vague figure appeared in the lake, with long light blue hair like algae, and couldn't help but look at the location of the floating city. Because the natural environment of the first moon has collapsed, the strength of the water fairy demigod who is the lord of the rivers and lakes has been greatly weakened, but after reaching Motera, her power is gradually recovering, and at the same time, there is also a rumor about the fairy in the lake in Arrantirne.

Inside the Botanical Gardens.

Nearly a hundred beautiful little fairies were playing and playing, and this group of sudden intruders frightened these little fairies, and it was the first time they had seen so many living people.

The little fairies were terrified.

They hid in the flowers, and one by one they poked their little heads out and looked at the druids with curiosity and disgust. The aura of the blood druids made them feel disgusted and frightened, especially the existence of blood thorns made the little fairies dare not approach at all, these little things have a very strong sense of danger.

"This ...... It's the scent of oak trees...... Nature's realm ......" Alendo-Shepherd's expression was shocked and excited.

He stared at the huge tree of life in front of him in a daze, trembling slightly, and he didn't know how to speak.

Because of Stephen's protection and offerings, the Tree of Life has grown rapidly, and now it is nearly three hundred meters tall, and its open branches have covered most of the botanical garden, and the rich breath of life is blocked in it.

"I greet you at the command of my master!" a cold female voice sounded in her ears.

With a burst of invisible energy fluctuations, a tall female heroic spirit with white wings appeared in front of her, she was wearing a pair of Viku full-body armor, wearing a metal mask on her head, and her open white wings emitted a faint natural aura, as if she had been transformed from a Valkyrie to a natural otherworldly god.

She seemed to remember Stephen's presence, and leaned over slightly when she saw Stephen's figure.

This is a Valkyrie from the Quarter Moon.

During the Battle of Storm Canyon, she meets Stephen just as she is about to dissipate, and Stephen asks her if she still wants to be alive, and in another way, after she nods, Stephen teleports her to Queen Betty's realm.

Now it seems that she has been transformed into a goddess serving Queen Betty.
