Chapter 45: Just hold on, what else can you do?
A line of subtitles appeared on the computer screen.
[The faith of the Skinner has completely disappeared in the vicinity, and his followers will begin to look for new gods.]
Lu Yao suddenly had a bad feeling.
Deep underground, Isabel and her companions never encountered the [Crazy Shedding Monster] again, and at the end was a passage that spiraled upwards.
Lu Yao looked and saw that the screen had moved back to the big map. This location was in a hidden area deep in the northern forest. However, the surrounding environment was a bit special. The surrounding trees and grass were burned to ashes, and the ground was covered with black ashes.
In the center of this black area stands a black stone statue of a flayer, covered with densely packed red eyeballs.
There were piles of firewood piled around the base of the Skinner statue, with fire burning on it that seemed to have never been extinguished for years.
Isabel stood next to the statue, with a dialogue box appearing above her head.
"My lord, these burning woods are the remains of the tree people's bodies."
"These flames have been burning the souls of the dead tree people, preventing them from returning to the Sea of Death."
The cave wizard Morimi also said: "Apostle, this is the destination guided by the tree bark. There may be relics left by the forest god hidden here."
Due to the interruption of inheritance over the years and the almost loss of written language, the Sen clan has limited knowledge about tree bark.
Isabel looked around.
"Sir, if we destroy this altar, we can let the souls of the dead tree people rest in peace. Perhaps we can get more information from the dead. Do we want to destroy this place?"
Lu Yao agreed.
After receiving the order, Isabel summoned the holy sword.
She swung the holy sword and slashed it down quickly, causing the skinner statue to emit a faint red light. But soon, it shattered into black rubble.
The flames beneath the statue seemed to lose their strength, the flames shrank rapidly and soon went out.
Isabel stood with her sword in her hand. From the ashes of the wreckage on the ground, dots of green light emerged, and these green lights condensed into a tall brown humanoid.
【Tree man】
Lu Yao double-clicked the tree man and got a more detailed data panel.
…
[Treeman LV20] [Isabel's creation]
HP: 990/990Mana : 222/222Damage : 20Defense : 25Speed : 7 [Thick Skin]
Innately has higher health points.
Self-reproduction
Can give birth to new young.
【Leaf Shooting Lv15】
Shoots leaves at a distance to attack enemies.
【Resuscitation LV15】
Health will continue to recover when it rains.
【Forest Element LV1】
Forest elemental creatures that help the forest grow rapidly and increase all attributes in the forest. The effect depends on the ability level and health.
…
Lu Yao went through the panel description in detail.
The Treeman is suitable for positional warfare, with balanced offense and defense, thick health and strong resistance, but it is slow. Therefore, when using the Treeman, you have to let it stand still as a meat shield or confront head-on, and the forest is its advantageous home ground.
If the treeman's health continues to decrease, you can use [Rainfall] to add blood to it.
The only pity is that this time [Sword of the Forest] only created one tree man, and the conversion rate is not particularly ideal. However, due to the existence of [self-reproduction] ability, theoretically as long as time is long enough, this tree man can serve as a mother body and continuously breed new tree men.
After creating the tree man, Isabelle began to emit a white light.
The ability [Death Prayer] is activated.
Wisps of black smoke rose from the ground, and this time the black smoke finally slowly coiled around and turned into a twisting black ball of death.
Isabel had an encrypted conversation with Black Ball.
During the conversation, Isabel also faced Lu Yao and did simultaneous interpretation.
“…This was originally the altar of the Forest God, and it was also the original core for spreading the faith of the Forest God in this fragmented world.”
"When the God of the Forest fell, this place was invaded by two foreign gods, the Whistler and the Skinner."
"The invading army they sent burned down large tracts of forest and shattered the altar, hoping to find the main god space [Golden Plains] at the center of all dimensional worlds of the God of the Forest."
"...The [Skinner] plucked the bark off all the tree people, made some of them into [Crazy Skinning Monsters], and the rest became fuel for this Skinning Altar."
"The Golden Fields is the treasure house of the forest god. The tree people said they don't know its exact location either."
"That is a special world that can only be entered after passing the trial."
"The first test known to the Tree People is to restore the forests of this ancient land, to turn the desert back into forest, and to make the mountains covered with grass and trees again."
"There is another requirement. The test taker must not regard the belief in the God of the Forest as a hostile belief."
Lu Yao pondered.
In simple terms, it means planting more trees.
Can you complete the first trial by doing greening? Lu Yao felt that this condition was a bit unreliable, so he typed to ask Isabel.
"My Lord, you are absolutely right. This is the test you need to complete to become the successor of the Forest God."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She explained: "The God of the Forest was once a high-ranking god. The [Golden Fields] is a priceless treasure to any god."
"If you can, sir, please don't miss this opportunity."
Lu Yao pondered for a while.
If you plant trees, the worst that can happen is that you lose some faith to activate a [Miracle].
Anyway, in the long run, tree people are the indispensable backbone of one's own people, and afforestation is also a general direction. Planting trees earlier is like making an investment earlier.
There is 10,000+ faiths in the account, but nowhere to spend them anyway.
Faith needs to be spent to create more value, otherwise it is just a number.
The Blood Knights now don't distinguish between friend and foe, and are going crazy in the castle. It will take a while to take it down.
Then plant trees!
…
Planting trees is not difficult for God players. All they need to do is activate the Miracle's Rainfall, then the Burning Sun, and alternate between the two, and the other Treemen will be able to take care of it.
The whole process is like kneading dough.
There is a layer of rain and a layer of sun. When there is too much rain, the sun comes out. When the sun is strong, it rains.
As a god, the most important thing for Lu Yao is to prepare enough faith and launch [miracles] on a large scale.
Moreover, to cover the entire southern desert and western mountains, the cost of faith would be higher than he thought.
The situation on the mountain is slightly better.
After 15 times of [Rainfall] and 11 times of [Sunshine], plus the Treeman's [Forest Element] ability, green buds basically appeared on the bald mountains.
The desert is the hardest hit area.
It took Lu Yao 40 [rainfalls] and 35 [sunburns] to complete the initial coverage of the desert, allowing green seedlings to grow in the desert.
A total of 1,700 points of faith were consumed in these two rounds.
The mountains are the icing on the cake, with trees and grass, although a little less, but the foundation is there. So after the first round of rainfall and sunshine, the green over there gradually becomes dense.
The situation in the desert is much more complicated.
What Lu Yao didn't expect was that the first one to come out and cause trouble was the sandworm.
As if realizing that these saplings posed some potential danger to them, the sandworms began to secretly smash and turn over the saplings, which made Lu Yao so angry that he sent Isabel to stake out the situation.
Anyone who dares to destroy the green mountains must die! After Isabel killed more than a dozen sandworms, the sandworms finally realized that their lives were more important. Most of them migrated to the sandy coast in the south, and a small number of them burrowed deeper into the ground.
In short, this group of desert natives gave in.
Before Lu Yao could breathe a sigh of relief, troubles in the desert came again. Many saplings withered before they could grow up, and they had a great demand for rain and sunlight.
He had to try again and again, and after consuming more than 1,000 points of faith to activate [Miracle], he finally stabilized the situation in the desert.
Staying up late is the epitaph of those who stay up late.
At 12 o'clock, Lu Yao was lying on the bed, his eyelids drooping with sleepiness.
But he couldn't sleep. He kept thinking about those pixelated saplings, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the computer screen on the table...
Just endure it, what else can you do.
