0021 Make a friend

[Petal Workshop], [Fairy Well], [Sap Extraction Pool]....

Li Li stood on a high place, wearing goggles and looking over, and all kinds of buildings made of tree roots and vines came into view.

As for the forest elves who are active in the station, they have the long ears that the elves are standard with, as well as the big moist eyes.

The average level of the inhabitants is not too prominent, and it is about 3 levels higher than the average human in Blackwater Town.

Aliteng's caravan drove into the field, and countless forest fairy children cheered around the carriage, looking very excited.

Coming to a [Ali Tengteng Branch] made of vines, the caravan and the accompanying escorts unloaded the supplies on the cart.

"I'll go to the elders of the forest fairies now, and when the goods are replaced, it's up to you next."

After Ma Tengyun finished speaking, the two came to the giant tree located in the center of the station.

At the entrance of the tree cave, the [Forest Fairy Warrior] holding a rattan spear confirmed Ma Tengyun's identity and let the two go.

Walking through the hall of the tree cave and coming to a place with a decoration similar to a tea room, Li Li finally met the elders who were stationed here.

【Forest Elf Elder】Baka Lv.25

"Tengyun, long time no see."

Baka, who was napping on a giant blade, got up and greeted him warmly.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Elder Baka, and this time I brought spices and seeds, I want to exchange them for as many fantasy mushrooms as possible."

Ma Tengyun didn't have too much politeness, and went straight to the point.

"No problem, I've been asking my clansmen to pick as much as they have since you left, but the amount of accumulation is more than expected, and if you want to buy them all, you have to add some extra money."

Li Li didn't expect that this forest goblin clan seemed to be isolated from the world, and the elders were quite able to negotiate the conditions.

Ma Tengyun let out a long sigh and said with a bitter face: "Elder, you don't know, our road is so dangerous, just the escort team has killed more than a dozen of my brothers!"

He's dead... Dozen? How did I not know?

Li Li looked confused.

"Tengyun, the pot in the station has been almost unopened recently, and the fantasy mushrooms you want are all growing on the edge of the cliff, and two clansmen fell to their deaths yesterday just to pick mushrooms."

Baca said, old tears in his eyes.

So the miserable meeting began, and the two kept pulling for half an hour, telling about their hardships.

In the end, an agreement was reached to purchase all the [Fantasy Mushrooms] in the station's warehouse with all the goods brought by the caravan plus 800 silver coins.

"By the way, who is this?"

Baka thought that Li Li was also here to help sell miserably, but when he saw that he couldn't integrate into the whole process, he couldn't help but be curious.

"This is an absolutely trustworthy friend, his name is Li Li, and he has other things to find the elder."

Ma Tengyun wiped his crying red eyes with his sleeve and introduced.

"Hello Li Li, what are you looking for me?"

Baca stepped forward to shake hands.

"Hello Elder, I came to the station this time to find something called the Forest Fairy Seed."

After Li Li told him, Baka was stunned.

"Is it difficult?"

"It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, it's that the seeds of the forest fairies are also very precious to us, and they can't be picked casually like fantasy mushrooms... In short, no. ”

Baca slipped out of his mouth and wanted to prevaricate.

Ma Tengyun's face was not very good-looking, but anyway, as long as the caravan could be brought back to the southern hills, he would have to make money, so he pretended not to hear it, so as to save himself from being angry.

"5 gold coins each?"

"I don't sell it."

"10 gold coins?"

"Nope."

"Twelve?"

"It's really not a matter of money, the seed of the forest fairy belongs to the gods, and it is a necessary resource for our people to build a tree house, and the way to obtain it is only possible to obtain it if the tree god worships the precious plants, and the rare plants in this dense forest are almost all enshrined by us, and the seed of the forest fairy will only get less and less in the future, if it is really sold to you, what if the station wants to expand in the future? Let's dispel this idea. ”

Baca explained helplessly.

After Li Li listened, he knew a little about the technology tree of the forest goblin clan.

The Forest Elf Seed is a key resource for them, and the only way to obtain it is to make offerings to the Dryad.

Selling may be profitable in the short term, but in the long run, it will seriously restrict the development of the site.

"Then I'll also go and worship and cherish plants."

Li Li proposed.

"You... Why do you, a human being, worship the god of the tree? ”

This line of thinking also surprised Baka.

Because so far, I have never heard of that human coming to worship the [Tree God] in the dense forest.

The [Tree God] is not a god that normal humans would believe in at all.

"You just say it's okay, right?"

"Yes, yes, the tree god is also willing to recruit believers, that is, cherish the plants, where do you get it?"

Some of the rare plants outside the dense forest do have something that even Baka has never seen, but it doesn't mean that Li Li can easily get his hands on them.

"Don't worry, I can definitely open the eyes of the tree god today, where is the temple to be enshrined? Do I need an elder to bring someone with me? ”

Seeing that Li Li was so confident, Baka took the four [Forest Fairy Warriors] out of the tree cave and headed to the [Tree God Temple] located behind the stronghold.

When the group came to a dirt slope, Baka chanted a spell, and the dense vines immediately retreated to both sides, revealing a downward stone staircase.

After walking to the end, there is an empty temple of about 100 square meters.

In the center, a ray of sunlight casts downwards on a shriveled green plant.

[Sacrificial Spirit Tree] lv.18

Introduction: A strange plant with part of the soul of the Tree God, after making offerings, confirm your belief in the [Tree God], and you can obtain the group skill [Thorn Armor].

Armor of Thorns Lv.1

Description: In an area with abundant trees, you can activate the power of plants and trees to create [Thorn Armor] for your troops, causing enemy melee units to suffer 10% of the counterattack attack when attacking.

The actual number of assemblies is related to the abundance of trees in the terrain and the skill level.

Destroying the [Sacrificial Spirit Tree] will obtain the [Curse of the Tree God].

[Curse of the Tree God] Lv.1

Description: When walking in the jungle, it is easy to trip over tree roots that suddenly appear.

The chance of tree roots appearing is related to the abundance of trees in the terrain and skill level.

If the offering item is favored by the [Tree God], the [Sacrificial Spirit Tree] will produce a corresponding amount of God-given object [Forest Fairy Seed] as a reward.

can also prostitute a group skill for nothing, which Li Li did not expect.

"Li Li, please."

Baka's object [Sacrificial Spirit Tree] made a gesture of please.

Li Li came to the [Sacrificial Spirit Tree] and took off his backpack.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

The moment the [Pea Shooter] was brought out, Baka and Ma Tengyun let out a surprised sound at the same time.

"Tree God, let's meet for the first time, I won't say much else, I, Li Li, am absolutely righteous, you give me a few more forest fairy seeds, and we will be brothers in the future."

Li Li said, placing the [Pea Shooter] in front of the [Sacrificial Spirit Tree].

"Tengyun, you humans... Is this how they communicate with the gods? ”

Baca asked with a puzzled expression.

"This.... In our human race, it is called the Brotherly Worship Method, which can quickly bring the relationship with the gods closer. ”

"Oh, I see."

Baca looked very teachable.

[Pea Shooter] tilted his head to observe the lifeless dead wood in front of him, his eyes full of doubt.

"Tengyun, this plant that shakes its head, is it native to Dort?"

Baca watched carefully for a moment, then asked again.

"Probably not."

Ma Tengyun said and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He really wanted to tell Li Li to stop fooling around.

Squeak! Squeak! The [Sacrificial Spirit Tree] made a dry sound.

Then, on the shriveled branches, countless shoots suddenly erupted.

A breeze with green dots of light enveloped the [Sacrificial Spirit Tree].

"This is a harbinger of God-given power!"

Baka shouted, and along with the four [Forest Fairy Warriors], he fell directly to his knees on the ground.

Call!

A pillar of light surrounded countless emerald green leaves descended from the sky, enveloping the [Pea Shooter] inside.

Your unit [Pea Shooter] 07 has been strengthened by [Tree God], [God-Given Power]!

You have become a follower of the [Dryad] and have obtained the skill [Armor of Thorns] Lv.1.

The green halo gradually dissipated, and fruits began to bear on the treetops of the [Sacrificial Spirit Tree].

Li Li stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one, while making sure that a total of 10 fruits were fruited.

The leaves that envelop the fruit begin to wither rapidly, falling towards the ground.

When Li Li saw the dark yellow fruit, he buckled up his goggles with great certainty.

【Forest Fairy Seed】

Grade: B

Introduction: Condensed with the divine power of the [Tree God], it is said that as long as you accumulate a sufficient amount, you can grow any plant you want.

After picking the [Forest Fairy Seed], the [Sacrificial Spirit Tree] dried up again, returning to its previous decadent appearance.

"Elder Baka, give 10 Forest Fairy Seeds at a time, whether it's too much or too little."

"10 pieces!"

Hearing Li Li's words, Baka, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head sharply, his face full of disbelief.

"Let's put it this way, since our forest elf clan established a base in the northern jungle, no one has been able to get more than 3 forest elf seeds at one time."

"It seems that the god of the tree is capable of doing something, and he really helps when there is something... By the way, didn't you say offerings? Why wasn't this pot of pea shooters sacrificed? ”

"Because the god of the tree has sent down the power of God, in general, it is hoped that this worshiped thing can stay in the world and continue to complete his mission."

Baca explained.

"Looks like you're quite popular."

Li Li happily patted [Pea Shooter] on the head.

"Li Li, I have a request..."

"No, but just take away the 10 forest fairy seeds, I guess your psychology will not be balanced, so I'll leave 30 gold coins."

"Li Li, the station has been running out of pots lately..."

"This matter is non-negotiable, and it can't be sold miserably."

If he hadn't seen Baka bargain with Ma Tengyun, Li Li might really be soft-hearted.

But if the other party doesn't even change his words, he won't be fooled.

"Okay, it is also the will of the tree god to be able to give so many forest fairy seeds, I hope it can play a greater role in your hands."

Baca sighed.

The vast majority of gods in the Yagu Continent do not refuse new believers to join, and will even promote themselves in secret.

This is the reason why Baka will lead Li Li here.

Although he is not an actual beneficiary, as an introducer, he has brought a believer who can be highly recognized by the [Tree God], and it will also be counted as a great merit.

It may be directly reflected in the next offering.

So on the whole, the forest elf clan did not lose, but the reward was not so exaggerated.

Just as Baka was about to guide Li Li out of the temple, a pot of [Sunflower] appeared in the other party's hand again.

"Tree god, you are really interesting, you will be my family in the future, this time I carefully prepared a pot of sunflowers for you, what do you think?"

Li Li came to the edge of the [Sacrificial Spirit Tree] and muttered.

"Coming back?"

Baka said incredulously.

Squeak! Squeak!

The branches are green again, but this time the sprouts are not as dense.

After a while, three [Forest Fairy Seeds] were born.

After Li Li finished collecting it, he took out a large pot of [Man-eating Flower] as if by magic.

Green sprouts have reappeared, but this time they haven't waited for the [Forest Fairy Seed] to be born.

Boom! A branch cracked.

Seeing that the [Sacrificial Spirit Tree] had been squeezed dry, Li Li was embarrassed to pick up any more wool, so he packed up his things and left the temple.

Reaching the ground, the scattered vines gradually closed, blocking the entrance.

Baka instructed very seriously: "Since this pea shooter has been given the power of God, he must have an extraordinary mission, please try to protect his safety." ”

"Don't worry, I will."

With [God-given Power], then this pot of [Pea Shooter] should be counted as a special unit.

Even if no one tells him, Li Li will definitely pay more attention.

For more specific things, you have to wait for careful monitoring of the properties before making a judgment.

The [Dream Mushroom] on the side of the caravan has been loaded, and this group of people has indeed had a hard journey all the way.

However, the forest elf station is not equipped with an inn like a human town, and even if you want to repair it, you will have to sleep in the wild.

So the caravan simply didn't stop and went straight on the road.

Li Li was in the carriage and studied this pot of [Pea Shooter] that was a little different.

[Kamui - Pea Shooter] lv.11

Grade: S

HP: 569/569

Attack: 46

Trait: [Dryad Protection] This unit is protected by the Dryad's Gaze.

When the pea falls to the ground, it will draw the power of the grass and trees in the ground to generate a [Stake Spike] that pierces nearby enemies.

Attack power is related to the abundance of trees around the terrain and skill level.

Introduction: Little one, grow up quickly - [Tree God].

That's too strong, isn't it?

Li Li sighed in his heart, and raised the [Shenwei-Pea Shooter] and spit out at the bushes on the side of the road.

Rumble! A two-meter-thick [stake spike] with a height of seven or eight meters emerged.

The Chamber of Commerce guards thought they had been attacked, and drew their swords to prepare for battle.

"Calm down, everyone, my hand slipped just now."

Li Li raised his hand and explained that he didn't expect the effect of this [Stake Spike] to be so outrageous.
