……

"This is the second time we have held a sacrifice ceremony recently, and there was still fluctuation the first time, but this time there was no reaction."

The wrinkles on the old shaman's face were almost squeezed together:

"It's the first time I've encountered this in my life."

A thin young man next to him said worriedly:

"The people in the tribe have already complained about giving the sacrificial resources to Lumière, and after two consecutive defeats, the second elder may not give in anymore."

The old shaman nodded solemnly.

"I'll go back and figure it out."

The old man turned to look at the cave that was full of candles, and let out a long sigh.

"No need, Aisaro, this is my own advanced ritual, and I don't have to use the resources of the tribe anymore."

The tall native named Lumière said calmly:

"I don't want you to run around for my business anymore."

The old shaman Aisaro smiled kindly:

"Silly boy, you are the future of the Black Banyan Tribe, and it is my duty to do anything for you. I believe in my own vision, among all the Jango people, only Ling has the opportunity to break through the fifth order, or even become a legend, you will become the king of the rainforest, Lumière. ”

Lumière walked over and grabbed the old man's dry hand, and said with a sincere expression:

"I'm serious, Aisaro, if you believe in your own vision, then you should trust the future King of the Rainforest to solve this problem on his own."

Aisaro was stunned for a moment.

He looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated gaze, and for a moment, he seemed to see the scene when he held Lumière, who was still an infant in his arms, more than twenty years ago, and the latter was crying.

"You've grown up, Lumière."

The old shaman was full of emotion, and his hand holding Lumière trembled slightly:

"I trust you, but you're going to tell me how you're going to solve this problem on your own?"

Lumière said with a firm expression:

"The spirit of the rainforest didn't respond to us, not necessarily because he abandoned the Black Banyan tribe, but maybe it was a test for me."

"For the next few days, I'll be hunting a Wyvern or a Spotted Crocodile alone, and every hour, I'll be offering a sacrifice of this caliber to the Noble Rainforest Soul!"

"I believe that my piety is enough to impress the soul of the rainforest."

The old shaman was immediately moved and said:

"It's dangerous."

Lumière smiled confidently:

"It's the beasts of the rainforest that are in danger, don't forget, Aisaro, I'm the only Bloodhunt in the Banyan Tribe!"

He put down the old man's hands and beckoned to the thin young man:

"Akin, take care of Aisaro for me, I'll be back soon."

"When I return, I will be a fifth-order 'Child of the Rainforest'."

"Wait for my good news!"

As he spoke, Lumière swooped up the tree like a cheetah, and flickered around the branches like an ape.

A few breaths.

His figure blends in with the vast rainforest.

……

Black Banyan Dreamland.

"Put away all your nasty stuff!"

The maiden on the throne looked furious:

"This is the dream of the black banyan, and there is no room for the desecration of arsonists."

Matthew smiled as he slowly put away the items:

"You're mistaken, I'm not an evil arsonist, I'm just a lowly necromancer.

As you can see, I'm hurting a lot right now—well, mostly mentally traumatized and frightened, and that's mostly due to your mistakes at work.

It seems that you transferred an advanced ritual for a fourth-order professional to one of my second-order young mages, so it can be regarded as an accident, right?

I don't think the soul of the rainforest, who is as responsible as you, will sit idly by. ”

When the girl heard this, she immediately jumped to her feet in anger:

"Are you blackmailing me?"

"How dare you blackmail a soul of nature? Believe it or not, I'm going to kick you out of here!? ”

Matthew owed his waist deeper, looking groveling:

"I believe it! Of course, I believe that your power is unbreakable in the Black Banyan Dream Realm. ”

"But what about outside of dreams? In case you didn't know, I happen to have the Oak Tree Realm in my hands, through which I can access the Nature's Realm. ”

"You don't want your natural will to know about this accident caused by negligence, do you?"

The girl's eyebrows widened, staring at Matthew, as if she wanted to eat him alive.

The ten toes on her little white feet were clenched tightly.

Apparently angry to the extreme.

But when she heard the last sentence, her face suddenly turned white, and she was silent for a while before she asked coldly:

"What exactly do you want? Nasty Oak Man! ”

Matthew still said in a humble tone:

"It's just a little compensation."

The girl said impatiently:

"If there's a fart, let it go!"

Matthew looked at her with interest:

"First of all, I want to know your honorific name."

The Spirit of the Rainforest didn't have a name, but Matthew realized that there was something special about the girl in front of him, so he wanted to know more about her.

Who knew that when Matthew asked this, it was as if he had stepped on the girl's little tail.

She jumped up from her throne and asked fiercely:

"What are you asking this for?!"

Matthew smiled peacefully:

"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it."

The girl pursed her lips and said reluctantly:

"Suya."

A name whose pronunciation structure is somewhat alienated from the lingua franca of Eindo.

Matthew's heart moved:

"Is it Suya? And not Suya or something? ”

Su Ya snorted and expressed affirmation.

"Who took your name?"

Matthew knew that the naming of the Spirit of Nature was extremely particular, and Ella's name was given by the Goddess of the Moonlight, and the one who was qualified to name the Spirit of the Rainforest was by no means a general person, not to mention that the name structure was so similar to that of the Sioux people further south.

He was naturally interested.

"I won't tell you!"

Su Ya said indignantly:

"What do you call me? Smelly oak people! ”

"Okay."

Matthew didn't dwell on:

"Then let's discuss the issue of compensation."

Su Ya clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes were like knives:

"Say what you want, but you'd better know how to do it in moderation."

Matthew said naturally:

"I want all three abilities in the rainforest realm."

Su Ya's expression that had just regained her composure instantly distorted:

"You're shameless!"

"How can you be so greedy? Capabilities in the three fields, all of them? ”

"Disgusting Oak Man! I don't even know the most basic shame. ”

Matthew listened indifferently:

"You can scold it even harder, but it doesn't hurt me, I'm just asking for a little compensation."

"Impossible!"

Su Ya decisively refused:

"This is against the rules made by the will of nature!"

Matthew's expression playfully said:

"But you have broken the rules of nature's will."

Su Ya's face turned pale, and she tried to defend herself:

"That's—that's not meant to be."

Matthew shrugged:

"I'm afraid natural will doesn't think so."

Syllable!

Su Ya collapsed weakly on the Black Banyan Throne.

Her gaze was a little glazed.

After a while.

She leaned up on the throne weakly:

"Up to ...... Two. ”

"Deal!"

Matthew readily agreed.

Su Ya looked at Matthew in amazement:

"You, you ......"

Matthew, who succeeded, tried to make his smile as amiable as possible:

"I'm actually a very talkative oak man."

……

"Hint: You have gained the domain abilities "Energetic" and "Poison of the Arrow Frog".

You have obtained "Toxin Jar (Poison of the Arrow Frog)"*1

……

Matthew had a small wooden jar in his hand, which was like a small medicine bottle, made up of hollowed-out wood and a stopper.

The jar was empty, but after seven days, Matthew would be able to obtain a toxin extract from the Rainforest Dart Frog.

This is truly poisonous!

Except for the rainforest native species or macho men with extremely high poison resistance, the arrow frog toxin can almost be seen to the extent that ordinary people or monsters can seal their throats with blood.

It's a pity that the portion is just a little less, so I have to save it slowly.

But in any case, it was another huge reinforcement for Matthew's hand crossbow.

And in addition to the two major areas of competence.

Matthew also gained a permanent status called "Predator" through the Rainforest Realm, as well as a temporary status.

……

"Predator: When you attack in your Wild Form and successfully hunt and completely swallow a medium-sized creature alive, you can digest it within 60 seconds and gain additional stamina, mana, and health (cooldown: 6 hours)"

"Grumpy Soul: When you are deeply angry, anger will also return your strength (+1 for all stats while angry).

You can also transfer this power to your summons.

Ongoing status: 120 days"

……

"Predator" is a very useful means of replying.

Although limited to the wilderness form.

But it's precisely the Wild Form that recovers the slowest after being injured!

"Aeolus pterosaur or moon bear, it's a bit invincible to fight a protracted battle with predators."

"The more troublesome thing is that it needs to be swallowed raw, and it requires medium-sized creatures, at least cattle and sheep, etc., which may not be used to it at first."

Matthew thought about the scene of swallowing raw for a while, and there was a chill behind him.

But he knew that it would only take a process of adaptation, and that the wilderness was different from humans, and that he had to overcome it.

As for the "Grumpy Soul", it's more ordinary.

As a temporary state, it is not to mention that it is compared to the "double harvest of one penny" given by the oak tree, even the "pale hand" given by the undead is much stronger than him.

+1 for all stats is indeed a very powerful boost, and in a sense, it can also be used to save stat boosts.

But here's the problem.

Matthew's temper is too good!

He rarely gets angry, let alone angry.

"Even if the duration of this ability is 360 days, I probably won't need it."

Matthew shook his head inwardly.

So far.

Matthew's ventures include "oaks, the undead, temperance, dragon slaying, and the rainforest."

It is reflected in the Tai Chi symbol, that is, there are two more small commas in the green comma on the left.

That symbolizes nature and its two sub-domains: the oak tree and the rainforest.

The undead on the right also has a small comma: undead.

The dragon slaying and temperance are in the form of small commas on the periphery, symmetrically surrounding the side of the Tai Chi symbol, quite a situation of stars and moons.

According to the current trend, sooner or later Matthew will become a domain integration master!

But he wasn't complacent.

Ronan said that the realm is just a tool, and you can't get too deep.

These words are most extreme in the gods, they have sublimated the realm into a godhood, and have incredible power, but this also means that they will draw the ground as a prison, even if there is no natural disaster mage, the path of the gods may not be able to go smoothly.

……

"Thank you for the gift."

After packing up the benefits, Matthew politely prepared to say goodbye:

"But before I go, I have a small request."

Su Ya on the throne had long since lost her initial sharpness at this time.

She replied weakly:

"You say."

"I'm going to cross the rainforest next, and although I'm new to the realm, it's not safe, so I'm hoping for a little blessing."

Matthew's attitude is quite candid.

Su Ya looked at him incredulously:

"What do you think I'm yours? A slave who takes what he wants? ”

Matthew sighed:

"It's so sad for me to say that, I happen to own the Oak Realm......"

Syllable!

A white light flew out from Su Ya's body and quickly sank into Matthew's body.

……

"Hint: You have been blessed by Suya, the soul of the rainforest, "Suya's Pleasure".

Suya's Pleasure: When you walk in the rainforest, most plants and creatures will show you a friendly attitude.

Duration: 18 days.

……

"Now, give it to me, get out!"

The girl almost gritted her teeth and shouted the word "roll".

Matthew, who got cheap, naturally has no reason to refuse:

"As you wish."

A bright light flashed.

Matthew's body melted into foam and vanished without a trace.

And on the throne.

The girl's body suddenly curled up slightly, her slender neck involuntarily leaned back, her face flushed with a deep flush, fine sweat like pearls appeared on her forehead, and her hands hung down weakly.

Long.

A groan of satisfaction rang out.

The humiliation and helplessness on Su Ya's face had long since faded, replaced by a deep joy!

At this time.

A small flying squirrel fell from the black banyan tree above the throne.

The little flying squirrel looked up at Su Ya and asked puzzledly:

"Master Su Ya, you obviously deliberately transferred the ceremony, why are you still threatened by him?"

Su Ya glanced at the little flying squirrel, and said with a blush on her face:

"You know what? He smells of oak trees!

And the one I hate the most is the oak tree!

I could tell that the soul of the oak tree around him had not yet taken shape.

It's my perfect time to snatch him from the oak! ”

The little flying squirrel said thoughtfully:

"So you still haven't stepped out of the shadow of that incident, have you?"

Su Ya glanced at him.

Suddenly flew up with a kick.

Kicked the little flying squirrel far away.

After a while.

The second flying squirrel, Shi Shiran, jumped down from the banyan tree, and it looked at the throne with a curious expression:

"Master Suya, if you want to snatch that man, why don't you be more blunt?"

Su Ya held her chin with one hand, still in a tone full of disgust:

"What do you know?

Truly savvy hunters often appear in the form of prey.

Besides, I'm the soul of the rainforest, and if I want to rob a man, I can either conquer him or be conquered by him, there is no third possibility! ”

Flying Squirrel Two nodded affirmatively:

"Then you're probably conquered."

Bang!

Su Ya skillfully kicked Squirrel No. 2 to the sky.

After another moment.

The third flying squirrel lands.

This little flying squirrel looks more honest, but he is diligently reporting:

"Lord Suya, the people of the Black Banyan tribe have held two sacrificial ceremonies, and I beg you to perform an advanced ceremony for that archer named Lumière."

Su Ya's big eyes turned upwards:

"Let him wait, not available."

Flying Squirrel Three said in embarrassment:

"But that Lumière is determined, and in the last few hours, he has hunted and sacrificed 8 bipedal wyverns or monsters of the same level in a row."

"It's not good for you to be negligent in your duties like this, and what's so good about that man, why don't you look at me? Is there something that the man has that I don't? ”

Little Squirrel No. 3 suddenly puffed up his chest and looked at Su Ya with burning eyes.

Su Ya looked at the little flying squirrel No. 3 in a circle, and immediately sneered:

"You're too small."

As she spoke, she stood up with an unkind look in her eyes.

"Don't kick, don't kick, I'll fly myself."

Flying Squirrel Three's words weren't finished.

But listen to "Poof! "Look.

It was kicked into a black shadow, flew far away, and was even kicked out of the black banyan dream!

Su Ya stood on the throne, and her eyes gradually sharpened:

"Nothing can stop me from snatching a man!"

"Did you hear that?!"

With her angry announcement.

More and more flying squirrels are jumping down from the banyan tree, creating a flying squirrel waterfall!

"I heard that, we're going to get you some news!"

Time.

All the flying squirrels in the Black Banyan Dream Realm poured out of their nests and poured into the rainforest.

……

Deep in the rainforest, by the river.

Matthew completes the rendezvous with Loren through Ella.

The latter gave Matthew a big hug as soon as he saw him.

This made Matthew slightly moved.

"It's great that you survived, I'm so worried that you'll die like this, and my second question will never be answered!"

Loren joked.

Matthew simply asked:

"So what's the second question?"

Loren shrugged: "You're a necromancer, it's a real thing, but I've noticed that you can use several wilderness forms, it's not a coincidence that can explain it, right?" Of course, I'm just curious, and if this involves your secret, you can refuse to answer. ”

Matthew smiled:

"It's my secret, but I'll tell you about it later, so it's okay to tell you now.

I yearn for life, and I also chase death.

I know the immortal, and I am in the company of oak forests.

This may seem deviant to others, but for me it is the best place to go.

That's my legendary way. ”

Lorraine looked at Matthew in surprise.

But before he could speak, a slightly trembling voice came from the forest next to him:

"Wait, is there still a practitioner of the way of equilibrium in this world?"

Matthew jerked his head back.

But seeing that Lao Jitou was dressed in jungle camouflage, he was looking at himself with a complicated expression.
