……

"Yes, yes!"

Behind him came a burst of gossiping.

Matthew looked back and found that he was talking to a group of light goblins!

Most of these light demons only have a round basic form, and their voices are also like dolls, immature and cute.

"Me?"

He made such a voice in his heart, but he found that he could not "speak" at all.

However, the goblin of light beside him seemed to read the confusion in Matthew's eyes.

She said lively:

"Of course it's you!"

"You are the guardian designated by the wind of life, the guardian of Chiming Mountain has been vacant for too long, and we have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Forget? When you were still in the gourd, we would pour a lot of water on you every day! ”

said.

She dragged Matthew to the side, where there was a brown gourd vine with a lot of gourds on it.

The largest of them had fallen to the ground, and the gourd split in the middle.

There was still a puddle of water on the ground.

Matthew stepped forward and found that he had also become a light fairy, only much larger than the other little light fairies!

At the moment of seeing the gourd.

A wave of realization arose in his mind.

This is Matthew's incarnation in the sea of trees in the Ten Thousand Worlds - a special light demon who has just crawled out of the gourd!

The area around here is called "Mt. Chiming".

The guardian of Chiming Mountain has been vacant, as if to follow some kind of rule, and only those who break into the realm of life have a chance to be qualified for this position.

The premise is to pass the Guardian's Trial.

If Matthew or someone else doesn't enter the realm of life, the position of Guardian will remain vacant.

The elves of light may find someone else to negotiate with Arest.

But no matter when it comes in.

There will definitely be quests to match the difficulty of this trial to be completed by potential Guardians.

"It's kind of interesting."

After figuring out all this, Matthew's heart relaxed.

He is just a light demon now, and it is impossible for the wind of life to arrange for him to kill the giant beast.

That's outrageous!

"Don't keep Arest waiting too long!"

The milky light demon who spoke first urged again:

"She's also a very shy guy, and because she's shy, she doesn't usually show her face much."

"It's not easy for us to wait for her to appear, and it just so happens that you are coming at this point in time!"

"Give these things to Arest, express our gratitude to her on our behalf, don't be nervous, although you can't talk now, you will definitely find a way to communicate with Arest in a while!"

said.

The group of light goblins next to them flew over with a fruit basket.

The fruit basket overflows with a faint fragrance.

Matthew couldn't tell what was inside, but his instincts told him that every fruit in it was at least a rarity!

A hint of surprise flashed in Matthew's eyes.

It was at this time.

He could feel a drastic change in his body—

As a light demon.

He had grown limbs and a head, and he looked like a glittering elf at the moment, and his eyes were unusually bright.

"Wow, it's amazing, sure enough, the light demon born in the gourd is different!"

"I envy those who have hands and feet, unlike us, who are short and can only do a little work."

"Look, he only used one hand to hold the fruit basket that all of us could only lift together, it is really a very powerful light demon, I believe he will definitely become the guardian of Chiming Mountain!"

The elf of light chattered about the discussion gave Matthew a headache.

He subconsciously took the fruit basket.

The milky light demon put a pair of small, glowing wings on Matthew's back.

Only for a moment.

The wings fused with Matthew, then suddenly grew longer and larger, and a slight shake could blow up a strong wind.

He looked at the water on the ground again.

"I look like an angel ...... now"

Matthew is happy with his current image.

More satisfied.

His face is almost exactly the same as the body in the material world, and with the special form of the doppelganger's light fairy, there is a thrilling beauty!

"You look so good-looking, but I see that you look stupid, as if you have forgotten everything."

The milky light demon walked towards the edge of the cliff with Matthew, and admonished as he went:

"Arest is a good companion of the Sea of Ten Thousand Worlds."

"She's one of the super creatures in the sea of trees that has stepped out, and she's one of the few who is willing to come back and help."

"She came back this time to clean up the red pine and primitive oak species in the plains, they are growing too fast, and the group consciousness formed by the group resists any degree of suppression, even the tree herders have nothing to do with them."

"If they are allowed to develop like this, the Green Forest will be completely occupied by them, and the precious life energy contained there will also be completely drained away, and at that time, the Green Forest and our Chiming Mountain may face a new round of biological collapse, and may even be regarded as a withered zone by the Wind of Life, and finally forced to break away from the Ten Thousand Worlds Sea of Trees......"

"Fortunately, Arest is willing to come and help, and she can easily kill all the crazy trees."

"Of course, during this time, she may cause some damage to the forest or species here, after all, her body is so large that the slightest movement can destroy the world."

"But overall, Arest's willingness to help is great news for Shuhai and Chiming Mountain!"

Matthew nodded.

Arest is actually a partner of the Ten Thousand Worlds Tree Sea!

This is not quite the same as what was revealed in the original myth of the Traveler.

Come on now.

That guy was probably misleading himself.

Fortunately, I didn't have in-depth cooperation with each other!

Present.

Matthew carried the fruit basket to the edge of the cliff.

Encouraged by the other light demons, he flapped his wings and flew off!

It's a wonderful feeling to be flying in a sea of trees.

Especially for Matthew, who has just experienced a haze-filled scourge of the dead.

It's a baptism of the soul!

As far as the eye can see.

The sea of trees and the sea of clouds blend, and the sky and the earth are transparent.

The glow reflected between the clouds is like a series of mountains, and it is as if a polyhedral gem is shining brightly.

The wind is cool and the air is fresh.

It was as if it had just rained, the breeze blowing through the ears and nose was sweet, and the white clouds were clean.

Matthew flew over a sea of clouds.

At that end of the sea of clouds hung a huge hill.

A group of flying pigs stumbled down the hillside.

It was a bunch of newborn baby flying pigs.

Not far away.

Mother Flying Pig is showing them how to fly in a sea of clouds.

A cockscomb dragon hides in the bushes below the hillside.

In terms of size, he may not be able to beat the mother flying pig, but stealing one or two flying pig cubs is not a problem.

But before he could make a move.

A dark shadow loomed over the sand dunes.

A bitter wind blows in your face—

A pterodactyl of the Anemo God swept down as if death had descended, and then flew high again.

The Flying Pigs fled in a panic.

Several even directly mastered the ability to fly during this crisis.

Matthew counted.

There is no shortage of flying pigs on the hillside.

Then he looked up.

Good guy, the one in the claws of the Aeolian pterosaur is the cockscomb dragon that wants to sneak attack!

This Anemo pterosaur was much larger than Matthew's wilderness form.

In terms of coercion, it is also full of momentum.

Matthew flapped his wings and wanted to leave quickly, but not long after, the terrifying wind struck again, and the wind god pterosaur actually went and reversed!

"You're looking for Arest, aren't you?"

"You're flying too slow like this, let me give you a ride!"

"Remember, my name is Chum, and if you become the guardian of Mt. China, remember that I helped you!"

The voice of the Anemo Pterodactyl sounded in Matthew's ears.

Didn't wait for Matthew to answer.

A blazing current of air violently pushed his body into the distance.

Matthew flew out hundreds of miles in one go!

In a flash.

He flew over a primordial oak tree that towered into the sky.

The oak tree has a snow-capped white crown condensed in the canopy.

Below is a large waterfall that goes straight down.

When flying between the waterfalls.

Matthew saw a dolphin-like creature frolicking in the waterfall.

A pegasus stepped across the sky and then gracefully paused to drink in a pool of water formed below the waterfall.

A flock of cranes flew around Matthew for a while.

Then.

The crane motioned to Matthew to sit on his back, and the cranes flew out more than a hundred miles with Matthew.

The two sides parted ways on a floating island.

Not far from the sky.

Two huge figures were fighting violently.

Matthew stared intently.

It was a giant bird creature with two heads.

One of them is a giant griffin, and the other is a bit like the legendary divine phoenix, but it is a bit like a peacock in terms of feathers, and it is estimated that it is a mixed race.

The giant griffin and the half-blood phoenix scuffled head-to-head.

They seem to be fighting for something on a bright yellow tree.

Matthew cautiously flew through the clouds beneath them.

It didn't take long.

A small black shadow fell from above.

Because the distance was not far, Matthew subconsciously took it.

Hold it in your hand and take a look.

That's a notched apple!

There is still a little bit of saliva on the notch.

……

"Hint: You got the mutilated golden apple and the spittle of the half-blood phoenix (in small amounts)!"

……

Matthew's heart pounded.

At that moment, he grabbed the apple and flew wildly, and flew for more than ten minutes before he came to a small black island.

Arest's body was just too big.

Most of the time, her body parts are acting in accordance with her instincts.

Therefore, according to the light demon, if you want to meet and have a conversation, you have to find the "perception zone" of the giant beast.

The Perception Zone is the only zone where giant beasts can establish a connection with small lifeforms.

Different giant beasts have different sensing areas, and their area size and associated number are also different.

Arest was already the best talker of the behemoths.

Her dorsal fin is the perceptual area, which is quite large.

Matthew's current location is the edge of Arest's dorsal fin.

He wanted to find a way to establish a connection with the giant beast, but as soon as he landed, a gentle and somewhat shy voice sounded in his head:

"You're here?"

"You're so much prettier than I thought you would!"

"I like you very much."

Matthew was stunned.

He glanced at the data bar, and sure enough, the ability of "Equivalent Charisma" was shining!

Matthew was sure.

It seems that his charm has taken effect, and Arest's first impression of himself is good.

This helps both parties to have a deeper exchange.

But he still didn't know how to talk to the beast, so he turned his gaze in all directions.

It didn't take long.

Matthew saw that there were yellow miscanthus plants on the ground that glowed from time to time.

Say it is miscanthus.

The material is more like the ...... of a giant beast Hair?

Following a certain induction, Matthew walked over and grabbed one of the miscanthus grasses, and in just a moment, he could feel his heart connected to a vast ocean!

"Huh...... You're in. ”

Arest said shyly:

"You light, I'm afraid of itching."

Matthew loosened his grip on the miscanthus slightly.

The first time he talked to such a behemoth, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and a little speechless:

"It's a strange way to link."

Arest said mildly:

"It's all about safety."

"If I open my mouth to speak, the entire Ten Thousand Realms Sea of Trees will hear my voice, you may faint in an instant, the material realm will cause an earthquake because of this, and as for the astral boundary, it is even more likely to be affected by the astral tide and the void storm."

"It would be a huge disaster, so I haven't really spoken up in years."

Matthew asked, somewhat surprised:

"What do you care about?"

Arest asked rhetorically:

"Why not?"

"I wasn't born into this world to wreak havoc."

"On the contrary, I realized a long time ago that I had to be careful about the few spaces that could accommodate me, just outside the void."

Matthew complimented:

"If only all the behemoths thought like you."

"I've heard people say that after the odd number of days change is the age of giant beasts, I don't know what the world will become at that time."

Arest's tone was always gentle, but the content of his answer this time contained a hint of reproach:

"You're not a behemoth, how do you know that other behemoths are different from what I thought?"

"And what you humans understand as the age of the Behemoths is not necessarily the same concept as our own understanding."

"Every giant beast is the essence of the universe, and we have intelligence close to the upper level of human beings, but we often see farther than humans."

"I think all the Behemoths know that if we destroy the surrounding civilization or environment at will, it will lead to the early end of this era, which is very bad for us."

Matthew had heard such a statement for the first time.

He immediately asked:

"Why do you say that?"

Arest replied:

"We were born in this universe, and naturally we have our own pursuits."

"Even for the sake of this pursuit, we will not destroy everything at will."

"Of course, it is also for the pursuit, and in the future, battles between behemoths may be commonplace."

"For you natives, the aftermath of the battle between us could be devastating, and all I can say is that this is a certain number that cannot be changed, and it is also the fate of this world...... Or rather, chance. ”

Pursue?

Opportunity?

Matthew instantly captures the point:

"What are you after?"

"What is the opportunity in your mouth?"

Arest did not answer him directly.

Instead, a little story was told:

"Do you know how the Great Demon was born?"

"Every great demon, in its first form of life, is a demon's egg."

"The Mother Abyss buries the Demon Eggs on the endless beach of death, and in a certain season, the Demon Eggs will hatch into small demons, and the Little Devils will fight each other, and then grow and evolve, and eventually only a very small number of Little Devils on each beach can accumulate enough nutrients to eventually evolve into Big Demons."

"But even so, they are not out of the crisis."

"Death Beach sits between the chasms of the abyss, and there is nothing left of it except the poisonous sea of the abyss, the steep walls of the Ten Thousand Miles, and the barren sand."

"The newborn Archdemon only has a pair of very weak wings, and they can't fly away from Death Beach."

"For that, they can only wait."

"Wait for an unusual gale to blow on the abyssal sea, which often occurs only once in several years, maybe once every five years, maybe once every seven years, maybe even once every twenty years."

"Many great demons can't wait for the gale, and they will starve to death on the beach."

"And the lucky ones who wait for the gale will ride the wind on the right day, and finally fly out of the rift and become a member of the ruling class in the abyss!"

"At that time, a great demon will be honored as a demon lord and have the power corresponding to it!"

"And we, the behemoths in the eyes of you humans, are nothing more than larger demons."

"The vast world of Aindor in your eyes is like a beach of death that traps the Great Demon in our eyes."

"We've been waiting for that gust of wind since we were born."

"Some giant beasts even entered the Void World in order to ensure that their lifespan could wait for the arrival of that gust of wind."

"And now, that wind is close at hand for us......"

Matthew suddenly woke up:

"Odd number of days?"

Arest said softly:

"Yes."

Matthew was a little shocked and a little relieved.

He didn't expect the odd number of heavenly changes to mean something to the giant beast like this!

That's not a sign that the Behemoth is about to take over the world.

It's a clarion call for them to leave this world!

"No wonder no one can tell the reason behind the odd number of days......"

"This level is too high for humans and even gods."

"Perhaps only the original Scourge mages are qualified to talk about this topic on an equal footing with the Behemoths."

Matthew settled.

It is unlikely and unnecessary for Arest to deceive himself.

If the behemoths really all left.

They weren't much of a threat to Aindo.

But Arest also said it.

Before leaving, the behemoths will fight among themselves, just like the little devils fight each other for the big devil's place.

There are probably more behemoths than Matthew had imagined.

And the number of places to "leave this world with the wind" is likely to be limited.

The solution, of course, is the law of the jungle.

And in the meantime.

What the world will be tossed into, I'm afraid no one can predict!

"Why are you willing to tell me this?"

Matthew asked.

Allister replied:

"I hope to get the approval of the will of the plane, specifically, the approval of the Ten Thousand Realms of Trees, which is why I am willing to help you clear these surplus trees."

"The giant beasts came to this world, because they are outsiders, they will be rejected by the power of the original world, in this case, if we can obtain the approval of some planes and form an alliance with some forces in the native area of Aindor, then our actions may be much easier."

"I want to sign a covenant with you, this covenant will bind you, me, and the luck of Chiming Mountain."

"For you and Chimingshan, I will be your most loyal companion, believe me, in the coming era, it is a very fortunate thing to have a giant beast companion who has arrived early."

"And for me, binding your luck and faction can allow me to integrate into this world faster, so that I can plan the resources I want to pursue earlier."

"These resources are of little use to you humans, but they are hope for us to leave."

Matthew thought for a moment:

"Is it just Chiming Mountain?"

"Aren't you considering an alliance with the people of the material realm?"

Arest replied:

"The material world? That's not going to work, it's not a place for me to interfere. ”

"You don't know, Fenrir the Void Whale and Euclus, the Lord of the Void, have been eyeing that land for a long time."

"Do you know them? That's a real behemoth, the king of behemoths. ”

"After they released cruel words in the void, except for some ruthless characters, almost no other giant beasts dared to fight the idea of the material world."

"It seems to me that the fate of the main physical realm has long been predestined - anything that is favored by both Fenrir and Eukruz at the same time will end up in destruction."

"Something like this has played out countless times in the Void, for many years, without exception."

Hear here.

Matthew's heart sank.

Arest keenly perceived this:

"You're not just the guardian of Chiming Mountain, are you?"

Matthew nodded sincerely:

"Actually, I just became the guardian of this place."

"Before that, I was a human mage in the main material realm."

Arest said with some regret:

"I'm sorry, I also want to take a piece or two of land in the main material realm, but that's not something I can say."

"If you don't live in a small area, I can swallow it in my stomach or put it on my back."

"But I can't guarantee more places, after all, if I carry too much land, I will also feel a little struggling."

Matthew understands this.

Arest's attitude is already quite good.

Perhaps this is the result of the Guardian of Chiming Mountain taking effect at the same time as the equivalent charm.

The two men talked for a while.

Subsequently.

Matthew gave the basket to Arest.

Arest was quite satisfied with the offerings of the light demons.

Later, Matthew signed a contract with him in the name of the guardian of Chiming Mountain.

The way the contract is signed is also very quaint.

Matthew found a red leaf in the sea of trees below, and then a white stone in the cave next to the waterfall.

He wrote on the leaves with stones, writing the contents of the contract bit by bit.

The contract was then thrown into the fire.

And he sprinkled the ashes of the burnt water into the waterfall—

The leaves represent the wind.

The stone represents the earth.

Fire is fire.

Waterfalls are also water.

Since then, under the witness of the four elements of earth, fire, feng shui, and the partnership contract between Matthew, the guardian of Chiming Mountain, and the giant beast Arest has been officially signed.

……

"Hint: You have earned two new titles: 'Guardian of Chiming Mountain' and 'Fellow Behemoths.'

Guardian of Chiming Mountain: You have the obligation to protect the safety of Chiming Mountain and maintain the peace of Chiming Mountain, and in return, you can collect limited resources in the mountain, and the creatures here will also help you to a certain extent.

When your prestige is high enough, you can even summon the creatures of Chiming Mountain to other planes to fight for you.

Behemoth Companion: You become Arest's companion, and when you are in danger, you can chant her name, and she will respond to your calls as appropriate.

The more rapids you have, the more likely she is to respond to you.

Probability that the current call will be answered (100%)"

……

After signing the contract.

Matthew returned to Chiming Mountain and told the Light Demons about it, and the Light Demons cheered.

Then he felt a wave of fatigue.

With the knowledge that comes with the title of Guardian of Chiming Mountain.

Matthew found the cracked gourd, put it in a corner and put it together, and then he manipulated his body to get inside.

A feeling of comfort arises spontaneously.

The next second.

Matthew's consciousness returned to his body!

He looked up.

A gray patch.

What came into view was the tragic scene brought about by the natural disaster of the undead, which was in stark contrast to the vigorous scene of the sea of trees in the Ten Thousand Worlds.

But Matthew didn't like it in his heart.

Life and death have a different beauty in his eyes.

If there is no death foil.

How beautiful is life?

He took a look, and he currently had two ways to return to the Ten Thousand Worlds Tree Sea, one was to use the ability brought by the title of Guardian of Chiming Mountain, and he could directly use part of his consciousness to descend on the light demon in the gourd.

Another way is to incarnate as a holy deer, and at a certain point in time, you can directly cross the body in the flesh!

Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages.

However, if conditions allow, Matthew still plans to turn into a deer.

After all, with the first method, he couldn't bring anything out.

For example, the mutilated golden apple before was hidden in a gourd by Matthew.

"When this battle is over, I will take some time to pick up some souvenirs in the sea of trees......"

Matthew secretly made up his mind.

There are countless treasures in the Sea of Ten Thousand Worlds, and many of them are valuable in the material world.

"With the title of Guardian of Chiming Mountain, you shouldn't have to worry about money in the future, right?"

Think so.

Matthew's footsteps as he patrolled Tyrannosaurus Town became a little brisker.

Eight hours later.

More cemeteries were successfully established.

A small cemetery has appeared in the middle of Tyrannosaurus Town.

It won't be long.

It can be renamed Cemetery Town.

But Matthew's mood was not very pleasant-

The news has been out for a while, and it is not far away, but it has been a long time since the gate of the astral boundary was built, and no one came to buy tickets.

This made Matthew feel very faceless.

These astral creatures obviously can't trust the credibility of necromancers.

No way.

Matthew can only help them!

Two hours later.

In a lake not far from Mount Crescent.

Matthew, who was driving the invisible magic orb, quietly came to the middle of the lake.

He sank to the bottom of the lake.

Then a teleportation tombstone was erected there.

It didn't take long.

Ghoul after ghoul came out of it.

These ghouls are covered in fierce corpse poison.

It won't take long.

The lake will be completely polluted.

The downstream of the lake, which flows through the Crescent Mountains, is one of the city's main sources of drinking water.

Therefore, it won't be long before the astral creatures of Crescent Mountain will be able to drink pure ghoul-flavored drinks.

Present.

Matthew ordered the ghouls to squat in the water and not go anywhere.

To be on the safe side.

He threw a large basket of poisonous mushrooms from Dudley into the water.

"Will the dose not be enough?"

Matthew stood on the shore and frowned, he looked at the lake that had not changed color much, and said to Peggy:

"Why don't I build another ritual arena here to strengthen the plague and toxins?"

"I have the plague realm anyway."

Peggy hesitated:

"Matthew, wouldn't it be wrong for you to do this?"

Matthew smiled faintly when he heard this:

"It's okay."

"There's an old saying in my hometown – when people call you mean, you'd better be really mean."

Peggy shook her head:

"It's not."

"I mean, it's better to grind poisonous mushrooms into powder and throw them in......"

……
