Ten days later, on September 1, 4425 in the Storm calendar, Duke met Harpia, the whirlwind god who ruled the entire Whirlwind Forest.

It was a huge crow that, when its wings were folded, was about the size of a house.

However, it can change into a humanoid form, and its size will be reduced to the size of a normal human, and it will be similar in appearance to the Raven God Messenger Cuicui.

Most of the time, though, it retains its crow form.

"Kui Ya Gu Ya ......"

Because he had received Cuicui's communication in advance, Harpius already knew about Duke's existence. He also knew that Duke had killed the King Kong Thunder Dragon, and was willing to provide King Kong Quercus to build a nest for it. So its tone is cheerful.

Ten days was enough time for Duke to master the language of birds, so he could understand what Halpias was saying: "Hello human, you are a powerful druid. ”

Druids, Bad, Ovade, these are the three levels of the native human beings in the practice of the Path of Nature.

In Duke's view, a druid is about the 7th to 9th ring level; Bard is at the 4-ring to 6-ring level; Owade is at the 1 to 3 ring level.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Harpia, and I've been interested in the power of the wilderness, so I've come to ask you how to use it." Duke responded.

Harpia stretched out a foot, twisted his head and scratched the feathers on his head, behaving not much different from a crow.

Then he said, "I have seen two groups of humans, from different forests, asking me for the power of the wilderness. But they're all Ovade, and you're so powerful that you've become a druid, why do you ask me for advice on the power of the wilderness? ”

"My strength is not given by the power of the wilderness, and I am now planning to study the way of nature, so I will ask you for advice."

"I don't understand." Harpias shook his head, "Why don't the druids have the way of nature?" ”

In the cognition of the whirlwind god, the source of all power is the power of the wilderness, but as a god of the wilderness, it can invoke the power of the wilderness at will, and humans need to cultivate the way of nature, and then mobilize the power of the wilderness with the help of mimicry behavior.

Duke is so strong that he can kill the Vajra Thunder Dragon, and he must have mastered the strongest way of nature.

"You can understand that I come from a more distant forest, and in our place, I don't rely on the power of the wilderness, so I don't need to cultivate the way of nature."

"I still don't understand." Harpia shook his head again, then said, "But it's okay, I'll teach you the power of the wilderness...... But I need to make a trip to the Vajra Quercus first to make sure you actually kill the Vajra Brontosaurus and are willing to let me build a nest. ”

"Of course." Duke readily agreed.

Harpius motioned for Duke, Tresse, and Ogham, and several of its other Raven Oracles to sit on its back.

It fluttered its wings and flew, like a lightning bolt cutting through the sky, and in a short time it came to the location of the Quercus King Kong.

Sure that there were no more thunder monkeys on the Quercus Kong, Harpia played a cheerful tune, happy like a child who had received a beloved toy.

Duke motioned for it to fly forward, all the way to the ruins of the battlefield: "See, Harpia, that's the body of the Vajra Brontosaurus." ”

The corpse was in tatters, because the essence had been cut off by Duke.

But even after ten days had passed, Long Wei still hadn't dispersed, so no small animal dared to come and eat its corpse.

The stench of blood and corpses mixed and the entire ruin smelled unpleasant.

"Kui Ya Gu ......" Halpia laughed, "Great, this ugly thunderbolt gorilla is finally dead!" In the future, this whirlwind forest will be mine alone! Duke, you didn't lie to me, you really killed the King Kong Thunder Dragon! ”

"It's just a wurm." Duke sat cross-legged on Harbia's back, his tone light.

Harpia immediately flew back and rushed into the canopy of the adamjra oak: "I can't wait, I will summon all the oracles to build a nest in the diamond oak for me." I'll give birth here and raise them into new gods of the wilderness! ”

As he spoke, Harpia raised his head and let out a shrill cry.

Then, from all over the forest, more than a dozen half-human, half-bird crow oracles flew one after another, and Duke could roughly tell that these crow oracles were of different breeds.

Some evolved from crows, while others evolved from other birds.

They range in height from one meter to three meters tall.

Along with Cuicui, the Raven Divine Envoys began to collect materials and prepare to build a nest on the branches of the Quercus Kong.

Harpia also took the form of a half-human, half-bird, and flew through the canopy of the oak Vajra, finally choosing a branch to build a nest and directing the crow messengers to work.

"Are you pregnant?" Duke flew over and asked.

"Pregnant? What is pregnancy? "Harpia doesn't know why.

A raven oracle hurriedly replied, "Lord Harpye doesn't need to be pregnant, and the wilderness elves don't need to be pregnant, only wild beasts do!" I was pregnant when I was a harrier eagle, but now that I am an oracle, I am free from the beast! ”

This harrier eagle evolved crow divine envoy, named Fili, is very strong, and under Xiao Yi's judgment, it has reached the level of at least 6 rings.

"And what about your former descendants?" Duke asked.

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

"That's just the offspring when I was a beast, and the offspring are also beasts, and they have nothing to do with me now." Filip said as a matter of course.

Another crow oracle laughed: "We are the children of the elves of the wilderness, the supreme mother of all things in the wilderness, those beasts have nothing to do with us, quack, we are free in the embrace of the wilderness!" ”

"Goo! Free! ”

"Freedom, ahhh

The crow envoys shouted one after another.

Even Harpia cried out: "Freedom, I am the whirlwind god, Harpia!" ”

"That's nice, Lord Duke." Ou Gan looked at a group of ghosts and half-humans, half-birds, and couldn't help but envy, "It's a pity that I'm just an elf, not a wilderness elf, and I can't fly freely like them." ”

Duke was also somewhat infected by the happiness of this group of birdmen, but he was determined after all, and smiled indifferently: "Why not, Ogane, although you have already concluded an elven contract, I will not restrict you from anything. ”

He glanced at the birdmen and said, "If you want to stay, I won't take you away, and you can continue to live with Cuicui." ”

Ogan looked at Duke, and it could feel that this was what Duke really thought.

But soon Ogan laughed: "No, Lord Duke, I still want to follow you to see the city's sights." ”

"Okay." Duke smiled even more.

About half an hour later, Harpia had relayed all of his ideas for the nest to his Raven Messengers.

Only then did he spare time to teach Duke the power of the wilderness.

One man and one bird, found a quiet place.

Harpia looked at Duke and said seriously: "The power of the wilderness is the power given to us by the mother of all things to the spirit of the wilderness, it is hidden in all things, forests, flowing water, stones, earth, and wind, there is the power of the wilderness. ”

Duke nodded indifferently.

The power of the wilderness is like an active version of the force of nature, the force of nature is the power of plants, and the sea of qi is to control the power of nature with the help of plants.

When Duke observed Cuicui wielding the power of the wilderness, he already had a faint feeling that he seemed to be able to control the power of the wilderness with the help of the sea of qi.

But after all, something is missing, so that there is a little gap between the sea of qi and the power of the wilderness.

It is this gap that prevents him from connecting with the power of the wilderness, let alone controlling it as freely as the wilderness elves.

"When I was an ordinary crow, I didn't feel it, and I lived in a state of confusion for countless years. Until one day, I flew with the wind, and the forest crawled beneath me, and finally, I felt the presence of the power of the wilderness. ”

Halpia stared into Duke's eyes.

Said slowly: "When you merge into the wilderness, you can control the power of the wilderness, let the power of the wilderness fill your whole body, and your every move is every move of the wilderness, from body and mind to feathers." ”

"Into the wilderness?" Duke was thoughtful.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't immediately integrate into the wilderness, and it was easy to use the breathing method to establish breathing resonance with the surrounding forest, but the so-called integration into the wilderness was confusing.

"Harpia, can you elaborate on how to blend into the wilderness?"

"You can imagine yourself as a bird, flying freely under the blue sky and white clouds, unfettered and unfettered." Harpia whispered, "The wilderness is your home, like the wind that envelops you, like water that nourishes you, like fruit that fills your ......."

It gives a lot of abstract examples.

Seeing that Duke couldn't comprehend it for a long time, he finally had to shake his head and say: "You have the power of the druid, but unfortunately, you can't understand the power of the wilderness, you don't understand the mission given to you by the Mother of All Things, and you don't understand why you are free." ”

"Perhaps." Duke frowned.

He had tried to understand the wilderness and merge into the wilderness, fantasizing that he was a bird, a fish, a little flower, and even a wind.

Fantasizing about opening up your emotions, breathing with the wilderness, and letting go with the void.

However, these methods did not break the gap between him and the wilderness, which made Duke feel a little distressed in his heart.

He suddenly thought of the fog of the spiritual arcane, and his mind flowed with thoughts: "Perhaps, blending into the wilderness, just like an ordinary 3-ring arcane mage, will be blocked by the fog of the spiritual arcane, and cannot see the true spiritual sea clearly." ”

He hadn't felt the fog of spiritual arcane magic at all before, and he was very sorry in his heart.

Right now.

I thought happily in the bitterness: "Perhaps, integrating into the wilderness is to make up for my regrets." ”

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality and asked curiously, "What is the existence of the Mother of All Things?" ”

"The Mother of All Things is the supreme being of the wilderness, the master of all creation, and the mother of the spirits of the wilderness." "He is everywhere, our strength is what He gives, feel it, and He is all around!" ”

Listening to the babbling words of the god Harpia, Duke guessed that the Mother of All Things might be a belief or something like a sea of true spirits.

Maybe it's because of the limitations of thinking.

He always felt that the power of the wilderness was another form of the force of nature, a branch of the spiritual arcane system.

However, after careful consideration, he denied himself: "The sea of qi is a branch of the sea of spirit, and the power of the sea of qi is not worth mentioning in front of the sea of spirit." But the power of the wilderness is very strong, at least Harpia, who has the power of the wilderness, is not much weaker than the wurm. ”

And in the forests outside, there are even the gods of the wilderness who are more powerful than Harpia, or the stars whose strength is comparable to that of humans.

In this way, the power of the wilderness can no longer be called a branch of the spiritual arcane, but a great power on a par with the spiritual arcane.

All day, Harpia taught, Duke pondered.

But there was no progress.

The second day, the third day, it was all like this, and the power of blending into the wilderness seemed to be only a thin veil, but it was as difficult to cross as a moat.

"Maybe you should go and find a human, find an Owald, and teach you the ways of nature." Harpius said impatiently.

Then, taking advantage of Duke's free time to think, he flew into the canopy of trees, and happily watched his nest be completed little by little.

It intends to breed in its nest.

The gods of the wilderness do not need to mate and become pregnant, they condense the essence of the power of the wilderness, and they can give birth to offspring and cultivate into a new god of the wilderness, who may be called gods, but are in fact just a group of more powerful wild elves.

Just like spirit animals, there is birth, old age, sickness and death.

"What exactly is the power of the wilderness, and how do you fit into it?" Duke, with his thoughts, drifted off to sleep, at least on the surface.

But in reality, he activated the Earth Replica Ring that was unknown how many distances away.

The earth clone appeared in the Duke Sage Mage Tower, just like the forest where the real body was located, and it was also night in Cuihai City at this moment.

"Sir." Assistant ibuprofen salutes.

"Lord Frannie's sky clone, has it been activated? If not, you contact her Sky Replica Ring. Duke commanded, although the real body was gone for more than ten days, the clone appeared every day, and everything was as usual.

"Yes, sir."

With the help of the Sky Replica Ring, the ibuprofen transmitted the signal, and soon the Sky Replica Ring was activated, and Frannie Husky's Sky Clone descended.

"Duke, you're looking for me?"

"How's your progress on the Oak manufacturing program?" Duke asked.

Frannie Shaho yawned and said a little boringly, "I can't find the power you described, similar to the bloodline of a spirit beast. I've looked for every tree king, and the acorns you provided have been studied over and over again, in vain. ”

She looked at Duke and frowned, "I'm starting to wonder now if the Oak Manufacturing plan can really be realized. ”

As she spoke, she rolled her eyes again: "Alston Lanhe, this old horseman, is talking outside again that the Oak Manufacturing Project will fail." He also joked with me that if he succeeded, he would give each of us two kowtows, and if he failed, I would give him two kowtows. ”

"Yes, failed, don't you need me to knock it?" Duke found a blind spot.

"You think we're going to lose, too?" Frannie Sand Duck's eyes narrowed, "We all want to get out of the Moon Phase Chapter and advance to the 8th Ring Bright Moon through the research in the Spirit Plant Field. But I chose to work with you, and he looked at me unpleasantly. ”

Duke smiled: "Don't worry, you won't fail, I just think that this bet, it seems that Alstom Lanhe is very talkative, and he doesn't need me to kowtow to him." ”

"Let a living sage kowtow to him, and the stars will beat him into a pig's head." Frannie Sand Duck laughed as well.

But soon sighed again: "I don't deny it, I don't have hope that I will walk out of the moon phase chapter alone." That's why I want to work with you, to get a touch of the spiritual favor of the sages, and hope to find the path to the chapter of the moon phase from the Oak Making Project. ”

However, with the Oak manufacturing project, there has been no progress so far, and Frannie Sand Duck is also a little hesitant.

Of course, some major research needs to be carried out for years or even decades.

However, the origin of the Oak Man's manufacturing plan is to obtain power from plants, and I don't know how many people have studied it for thousands of years, and the results have all failed.

After Duke proposed the Oak manufacturing plan, it also did not bring about any changes.

This couldn't help but make Frannie Sand Duck hesitate, as if the sages had not been able to bring any extraordinary ideas and changes to this research.

"Maybe Alstom, the old horseman, is right." Frannie Sand Duck lay on her chair and said without grace, "The way of knighthood flourished in ancient times, the spiritual arcane law rules everything now, and the sea of qi corresponds to the system. ”

The sea of air, the sea of blood, the sea of spirit.

Among the three seas, the Spirit Sea is now the strongest, the Blood Sea was once strong, only the Qi Sea seems to have existed in ancient times, but from ancient times to the present, it is to help grow crops.

Frannie Sand Duck rolled her eyes and asserted, "The sea of qi is the sea of crops!" ”

"Not necessarily."

"How?"

"I'm looking for a way to crack the mysteries of the sea of qi, and maybe there will be progress soon." Duke whispered a word of comfort.

He had planned to speak with Frannie Sand Duck, perhaps the star and seer of the Spiritual Plantation Realm could shed some light on his integration into the wilderness.

But now I found that the other party did not bring any enlightenment, but only some frustrating words.

Maybe.

This is the loneliness of the path of exploring the mysteries of spirituality, and in the search for the truth, there are always people who deviate from the course and think that the path they have taken before is the wrong one. If you are shaken, then the truth will always be unknown.

"You're still confident." Frannie Sand Duck was keenly aware of the ...... in Duke's eyes Taunt.

She is a woman who has lived for more than 200 years, and her intuition is extremely powerful: "You think I'm talking nonsense and disappointed in my complaints? ”

Duke had to admit that Frannie Sand Duck had a keen instinct, so he asked rhetorically, "Can you read minds?" ”

"Haha, I don't know how to read minds, but my eyes are the windows of my soul, and I can see people's hearts through them." Frannie Sand Duck laughed, "I think you must have mastered the key to the Oak Manufacturing Project now." ”

Sitting up straight, Frannie Sand Duck regained her composure: "Then, Lord Sage, let me command the next experiment." ”

"There's nothing to command, the experiment goes on as usual."

Duke himself didn't know how to fit into the wilderness, and how he could draw up the experimental process of the Oak Manufacturing Plan, so he could only wait patiently.

……

Early the next morning.

The sun shines through the forest from the east, and the jagged canopy splits the light into strips and scatters spots.

Harpia lay in his nest of branches that he had just built, combing his feathers.

The warm wind surrounds it, but it is not the wind element condensed by the arcane, but the wind that truly belongs to nature.

A short distance away, on a thick branch, a wooden house was built, and Duke woke up from his sleep.

The Oak landed on the window, keeping watch for Duke's faithful sentry.

Under the tree, Xiaodou is lying on the ground and sleeping, and the chicken is lying on Xiaodou's brain, also sleeping.

Ogan danced through the gaps in the leaves, and soon landed beside the oak spirit, and the two butterfly elves came together like two beautiful jades.

"Lord Duke." Ogan called softly.

Duke performed a simple arcane spell, clearing the cavity and face, then turned his head to look at Ogham.

"I've been thinking all night, Lord Duke, and maybe I can answer a little bit of your troubles." Ogan said softly, "Integrating into the wilderness, from the time I knew Cuicui, I was exposed to the power of the wilderness, and even I was a part of the power of the wilderness. ”

"You're part of the Wilderness?" Duke was surprised.

"You see, the bird's nest of Lord Harpia has twisted the branches of the Quercus Vajra, which is part of the power of the wilderness, and I am naturally a part of it." Ogan said, looking at Duke and seriously proposing, "Lord Duke, let's get together!" ”

Duke was stunned for a moment, and soon thought of something, his eyes shining brightly.

Then nodded slightly: "Okay." ”

Extend your index finger.

Ogan took a bite, and the next moment, Ogan turned into a pool of cool brown liquid that melted into Duke's palm.

Duke's body began to pull, and it instantly grew into an avatar form that was more than three meters tall - this was similar to the avatar form brought by the oak spirit.

"Lord Duke." Oghan's voice rang in Duke's head, "Let's go feel the power of the wilderness!" ”

With his wings flapping, Duke in his avatar form flew into the sky like this, controlling the flight of his body but emptying his mind.

Let Ogham's mind dominate the senses and feel the power of the wilderness from this forest.

It was a whole new feeling that he had never experienced before, emptying his mind and taking the feelings of the elves as his own.

Slowly, he felt different.

The forest beneath him is no longer the original forest, but a flowing musical note, the wind is singing, the trees are repeating, the flowers are murmuring, the water is chording, the birds and beasts are dancing, and the insects are cheering...... In Ogham's eyes, nature is so vibrant.

And then.

Duke's empty mind, accompanied by Oghan's perspective, appeared a cloud of colorful aura, which was ubiquitous and encompassing everything.

Gradually, what lifted him to fly was no longer psionic energy, but became this ubiquitous multicolored cloud.

His body was more flexible and natural, like a wisp of light smoke, without any restraint, drifting around with the wind. As fast as the wind is, his speed is as great as it is, and it can blow from one end of the forest to the other end of the forest in an instant, across the mountains and rivers.

Without gravity, without the humility of the body, Duke truly experienced what it meant to be unrestrained.

He waved lightly, and the big trees in the forest stretched out their branches one after another, as if to shake hands with him.

With a slight wave of his hand, the weeds on the hillside grew rapidly, and then he bent down in the wind and bowed to Duke.

Turn around, spin, land.

Fish leaping high by the creek, butterflies swirling and fluttering among the flowers, everything welcomes Duke.

No, not coming, it's joining.

"It's the power of the wilderness!"

Duke's empty mind gradually understood what the power of the wilderness was. Then Ogham's mind quietly retreated, and he returned his body and his feelings around him to Duke. He also gave the ubiquitous power of the wilderness to Duke.

Perception is not interrupted, Duke dominates his body, continuing the way Ogan taught him to perceive, allowing his heart to connect closely with his surroundings.

He crouched down and reached into the water, where countless fish gathered and kissed his fingers.

A black fish rushed over and bit one of the fish so hard that the gathered fish scattered in an uproar.

But it didn't stop Duke's perception of the power of the wilderness.

Wild beasts prey, insects and pigs mate, flowers and plants breathe, trees grow, all the actions of all things make up the picture of nature, and the power of the wilderness is the order that governs it all.

Click.

As if something was shattering in his stomach, Duke suddenly heard the rhythm of the sea of qi, which was the breathing method resonating with the surrounding plants.

But at this moment, as something shattered, the rhythm of the sea of qi did not only resonate with the breath of the plant, but stretched infinitely, and resonated with everything in the surrounding space, even the silent big stone.

"Force of the Wild...... Nature's Way ......"

Duke looked into the distance, and the colorful aura filled every corner of the heavens and the earth, constantly tumbling and flowing.

His heart, as if following the colorful breath, rolled to the end of the world.

The sun pierced through the canopy and shone on Duke by the river, and he suddenly opened his arms, as if he were embracing the whole of nature.

Then he opened his mouth and shouted loudly into the forest: "Be free! ”

Ask for tickets~
