Wild Hunt.

The legend of the Wild Hunt has existed in this world for a long time.

But even for Edson, it was the first time that he really encountered them. The strength of this group of ghost hunters was very terrifying. Although the Ring of Nature successfully repelled them, it also paid a heavy price.

That's why the druid traveled all the way to the Free City to seek help from Su Ziyu.

Su Ziyu explained something to Alice before leaving.

Both Ms. Enid and Fantsin were very busy during this period, and he had no intention of involving the witchers and sorceresses in this matter. However, Su Ziyu still left some information for Ms. Enid, because this lady had also tracked the traces of these ghost hunters.

The two men left the free city on horseback that same day.

On the way, Edson told Su Ziyu what had happened in detail. Not long after the druids rescued the unicorn, they were attacked by the ghost hunters one night. They suddenly appeared under the night sky and demanded that the Ring of Nature hand over the unicorn. How could the druids agree? Then a fierce battle broke out.

The Ring of Nature was the druids' base camp. The ghost hunters did not gain any advantage and were forced to withdraw before dawn.

Su Ziyu followed Edson to the Ring of Nature.

This is a land close to the sea, with dense forests extending to the end of the mountains. The druids from the northern continent practice here, and they maintain good relations with some fishermen and islanders living by the sea.

"Sir Su. Please follow me." Edson took him to a large patch of thorn bushes.

Countless thorns were tangled together, like a closed door. As the druid chanted a few spells in a low voice, countless thorns began to move, retreating little by little to reveal a forest path.

"The elders activated the Ring of Nature's defensive spell."

Edson whispered, "The roads throughout the forest are closed."

These thorns can only prevent people from entering from the ground, but are useless against enemies who can fly in the sky.

"Who?" A cold female voice came, and then a woman with emerald green skin appeared on the tree trunk in front. She had a very slender and strong figure, her naked skin was smooth but firm, and the clothes she wore were relatively simple, which seemed to be made of a mixture of cloth and leaves. Her slender thighs were full of strength, and her balance seemed to be very good, allowing her to walk on the tree trunk like flying.

The beautiful woman drew her bow and aimed her arrow at the perilla fish in front of her. Her eyes were quite alert, but also a little curious, as if she sensed something.

"Vera! It's me!" Edson took two steps forward and said.

He smiled at Su Ziyu apologetically and said softly, "This is Vera. She is a tree spirit and a ranger of the Ring of Nature."

Su Ziyu looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with great curiosity. Her appearance was comparable to those of the sorceresses, but the color of her skin was very strange, a special emerald green. If she were in the forest, it would be difficult to find her.

Before coming here, Edson talked about some things about the tree spirits in this world.

They are the natives of this world.

It is also the guardian of the forest.

However, there are very few tree spirits now, and most of them stay away from areas where humans live. The tree spirits on the northern continent are better, but the tree spirits on the southern continent are very hostile to humans because human expansion has oppressed their living space.

The Dryads are a race that consists only of females.

They are called forest girls and currently only live in a few areas. Tree spirits love forests, plants and nature, and hate humans who enter their forests to cut down trees. They will use humans or elves to reproduce.

Those real tree spirits were born after their mothers had special "ritualistic" contact with other races.

Without exception, all of these children inherited their mother's characteristics, with skin as green as plants, and they are 100% girls, but their eye and hair color may be inherited from their father.

The tree spirits are a very magical race!

When he heard it for the first time, Su Ziyu was stunned for a while.

"It's Edson." The dryad ranger named Vera nodded slightly, put away her weapon and said, "You guys go in. Be careful. The animals in the forest have been a bit aggressive lately."

soon.

Her figure disappeared in the dense leaves. Even Su Ziyu could not find her trace and could only rely on his vague perception to determine the direction.

This tree spirit has great stealth abilities.

Edson led Su Ziyu forward, and after walking a distance, he whispered, "Vera is a reincarnated child. She may be quite wary of strangers, but once you get to know her, you'll find that she's actually a very easy-going person."

Ritualistic contact is not the only way dryads reproduce.

They also have a special transformation ritual that can turn human or elf girls into their own kind. It is a strange magic ritual that requires drinking some kind of magical spring water.

The reincarnated child mentioned by Edson is a tree spirit that was born in this way.

Dryads are born with the ability to cast spells and can control the trees and vines in the forest, but most dryads rely on bows and arrows to fight, and only a very small number of dryads have decent spellcasting abilities.

They have a good relationship with the druids.

Edson said that every ten years the dryads would ask the druids for some people to perform ritual reproduction, but the children born would belong to the dryad tribe. They would raise these children together, and the children would grow up with their mothers, and it would be almost impossible for them to see their fathers again.

To a certain extent, all the tree spirits need is a tool for reproduction.

Their civilization has no concept of marriage.

There are a large number of animals living in the Ring of Nature, and they don’t seem to be afraid of people. Su Ziyu even saw a black bear taking a walk, but it didn’t attack them, nor did it leave in fear.

"That's Crow." Edson said softly, "This is its territory."

Very amazing.

The druids seemed to have tamed all the animals in the forest, allowing them to live in harmony in a special way. Edson told Su Ziyu that the animals here would not easily attack humans and would only hunt when they were hungry.

soon.

A small town built in a dense forest appeared before his eyes. Su Ziyu saw the giant tree in the center that was tens of meters high.
