Gavin was not surprised but overjoyed, which meant that there was another person in this world who recognized the role of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree in purifying decay and recognized his identity as a natural balancer.
The other party is not an ordinary person, but the leader of a druid circle with extraordinary influence.
When he became convinced, could the circle of druids he led still run?
This is directly reflected in those Battlefield Heathers and Battlefield Impalers.
The Great Druid of Netiat has a unique connection with them. When he directly establishes a spiritual connection with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the surging life force immediately has a substantial improvement, which is another unique thing of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. The power passed along and poured into their bodies.
The power of dragon soul.
The power of faith is not unilateral, but mutual.
The same is true of the relationship between gods and believers.
To individual believers, they borrow power from the gods.
But for the entire group of believers, a large part of the power of the gods comes from their beliefs.
The same goes for the Dragon Oak mother tree.
At first, Gavin only used the power of the ancient copper dragon soul she contained to control and strengthen those dragon-veined creatures.
But as the number of dragon-veined creatures under her control increased, especially the hundreds of thousands of kobolds who truly regarded her as a sacred tree and a sacred sanctuary for their souls, her thin dragon soul power became powerful and full again, especially The fusion with plants is far beyond what ordinary dragons can match.
Now it is vividly displayed in the unique activated plants of Battlefield Heather. The large sections of vines on their bodies begin to merge with each other, and then become lignified, layer upon layer, shaped like dragon scales, with unique emerald green lines on them, extending to Deep inside the body, the two pairs of wooden claws on the front feet are more like dragon claws, and the two hind feet are like elephant legs, thick and strong, with countless tree branches growing around them, which can not only help support the body, but also support the body. It can also allow them to enter a rooted state at any time, and the surface will still be full of messy thorns.
When the twelve Battlefield Heathers completed their transformation, pillars of emerald green light fell from the sky, indicating that the Dragon Oak Mother Tree had also established a connection with them, but the light pillars shrouding them were far greater than those of Gavin and Nai. The great druid of Theat is much smaller.
This was just the beginning. Arch Druid Hanso and the others, who had been inspired by Arch Druid Netiat, also grasped the secret and established their own connections with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree through the passage of Gavin.
Strictly speaking, this is not a belief, it is more like a natural alliance of mutual benefit.
The Dragon Oak Mother Tree lent her power to them, and they helped her expand her influence on the material plane. This was a normal development model. After all, the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was not considered a god now.
When she truly becomes a god through corruption, there is a high chance that they will become her followers.
When those legendary Lysal tree people established contact with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the situation was somewhat different.
No virgin forest is isolated. The intricate ancient tree roots underground have already connected them together. Many of them look like a forest on the outside, but are actually just one tree. All the surrounding trees are derived from this tree. grown from the roots of the tree.
The life force of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree began to spread along this unique passage. Wherever it passed, all the trees were swaying, all the animals were listening, and all the activated plants were taking root.
After entering this huge cycle, many people like these legendary tree people began to metabolize rapidly, taking the opportunity to metabolize the withered power accumulated in the body and adjust themselves to the best condition.
At this time, it is time for them to give back and contribute their own strength to this force of life.
Although the power provided by each tree is very limited, it is not comparable to the life force provided by the dragon oak mother tree.
But all large rivers are formed by the convergence of inconspicuous winding creeks, and Raisle Forest is not a small forest. It combines with its sister forest Rollins Forest to cover an area of woodland , is no less inferior to the Cormanzo Great Forest, with tens of thousands of activated plants and hundreds of millions of ancient trees.
When this force is connected in series with the dragon oak mother tree as the center with the help of activated plants, what kind of huge force is it?
Even the Dragon Oak Mother Tree has to be outdone. It is just a tree. At best, it is the Spring Bud Forest plus the Spring Bud Forest. The area of the Fairy Forest is less than one-fifth of the Lesser Forest.
When the life force poured out by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree completed a complete cycle and returned, not only did it not lose half a point, but it was ten times stronger than before.
The Dragon Oak Mother Tree did not absorb this huge power back, but rushed in one direction of Leisier Forest - the withered forest where the Lord of Blight is located.
The trees on the edge of the withered forest, which had become sickly and close to death, began to metabolize at a speed visible to the naked eye under the infusion of terrifying life force.
Germination, growth, withering, leaf drop, absorption.
A cycle of four seasons is completed in just four rounds.
When the withering power is taken out from the cycle of seasons and poured into these trees in large quantities, it becomes a disease (similar to blight) that causes them to wither and decline. However, if it is put into a complete cycle, it is indispensable for their survival. part.
The rapid metabolism of a tree is nothing compared to a withered forest that covers an area of more than hundreds of square kilometers.
But when millions of trees around start doing this at the same time, it's a bit astonishing.
If you look down from directly above the Lesile Forest, you can witness this extraordinary scene with your own eyes.
The withered forest shaped like a large gray duck egg is surrounded by an emerald green halo.
At first, this aperture just formed an encircling circle. Gradually, they were no longer satisfied with this and began to expand and penetrate inside.
Countless activated plants in the Lesser Forest responded to the call and joined in this war. Not limited to the tree people, those staggerers, tentacle magic vines, these activated plants that are usually attributed to the evil camp, also joined. into it.
In fact, these activated plants are classified as evil creatures only because they have the habit of preying on living creatures.
In fact, like those predators such as tigers, they are absolutely neutral in nature. Attacking humanoid creatures is a survival instinct rather than an evil nature. If there is a situation against the evil of the forest, they will stand by nature. This side.
But if it is the servants or believers spawned by the corrupted god Moando with the power of evil and decay, that is another story.
As the entire Lesser Forest launched a counterattack against the withered forest, the gray mist floating in this forest was thinning and fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The withered ones were like frightened ant colonies, withdrawing from their rooted state and retreating away from the activated plants.
Now the situation is completely reversed. In the past, they used the power of withering to corrode and wither those plants, turning them into their own nutrients, and even twisted them into one of themselves.
Now it is these plants that digest and eat away at their withering power. Once the withering power is drained from their bodies, it will be the moment of their death.
"What's going on? What's going on? Why is my power fading on a large scale?" Located in the center of the Withered Forest, the mother tree of the Demonic Tree, which calls itself the Lord of Withered Forest, feels like it is going crazy.
The power of withering that permeates the withered forest is her biggest trump card. Even after receiving the news that the withered army she sent out has been completely wiped out, she still doesn't panic at all.
Those natural forces coming here to eliminate her are seeking death and giving her a chance to grow in strength.
Even if the opponent summons a new fire elemental army like in Usmail City, she is not afraid. She has already prepared a way to deal with it - at worst, let the burning withered ones rush into the surrounding dry forest. , setting the entire Lesser Forest on fire.
I believe that facing a lose-lose style of play, those druids will definitely be wary.
She had calculated everything but failed to do so.
The other party actually tried to remove the firepower from the bottom of the cauldron, and even started to attack the fundamentals of their own footing.
Without the protection of the withering power, even if she absorbed a large number of souls from Yamen Khan and broke through the original limits of the magic tree, she would not be able to face the angry Les Cult.
With her super strong plant sense, she quickly found the crux of the problem, because there was an extremely powerful wave of life that disgusted her and wanted to devour the twisted life.
"Destroy them." The will of the Demonic Mother Tree instantly spread throughout the withered forest.
Suddenly the whole forest became restless, and all the withered ones rushed towards the direction of Gavin and the others.
Leading the charge are the fastest dead branch monsters, but this time, they are not all small men less than one meter in size. They are also mixed with a large number of bloody dead branch monsters that are twice as big. Branch monster.
In addition to their size, the biggest difference between them and ordinary dead branch monsters is that their whole body is blood red, especially the two pairs of claws, which are disproportionately large, shining with metallic luster, and dripping with fishy juice, which means they have more Powerful toxin.
This kind of elite is not only found in withered branch monsters, but also withered vine monsters and withered needle monsters, both of which have transformed into giant blood-colored versions.
Like the Demonic Mother Tree, they have also been baptized by the power of killing. A huge part of them that survived the mutation did not survive the infusion of this violent power. They exploded on the spot and were recovered by the Demonic Mother Tree and used as a catalyst for the birth of other animals. Nutrition for blight monsters.
These blight monsters are not just as simple as growing in size. Infused with the power of killing, they are far more aggressive and crazier than ordinary blight monsters. Once they rush towards the enemy, there is only one result, and that is death.
Either they die or the enemy dies. Even the mother tree of the Demonic Tree can hardly recall them, and killing can provide them with a faster growth rate. It is an out-and-out late-stage unit, giving them enough opportunities to kill. , they will become stronger.
It's just that this kind of soldier, just like Yamen Khan pouring his killing power into the mother tree of the Demon Tree, is something that can only be encountered once.
The Demonic Mother Tree does not have the ability to give birth to this type of soldier. Although a large amount of killing power was poured into her body, it was transformed, absorbed and utilized by him, forming her own withering power. This is her foothold. Basically, she has no way to control the power of killing, and Yamen Khan will not allow others to control this power, at least until he obtains the priesthood of killing and becomes the new god of killing. Otherwise, you will create competitors for yourself.
The Demonic Mother Tree had previously treated them as personal guards and kept them by her side.
Now that we have reached the critical moment of life and death, we no longer care and send them all out at once.
boom! boom! boom!
Rows of huge ancient trees rose precariously from the ground to form a huge living city wall, blocking the path of the withered army. They waved their huge arms and blasted the withered branch monsters mercilessly. Smash.
These ancient trees are not tree people, but activated trees. The surrounding ancient trees that the Lysl tree people use their special abilities to temporarily activate.
They do not have the wisdom and charm of the tree people, nor do they have many special abilities. They can only execute some simple commands and hit and smash.
But against the dead branch monster, it's enough.
After all, their size is there, at least super large, and their strength and physique, if not extraordinary, are infinitely close. Just blasting them with brute force is enough to make these dead branch monsters suffer.
The most important thing is that they are now connected to the network with the Lesir Forest and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, with a steady stream of life force support behind them.
These purest natural forces provide them with two BUFFs.
One is life recovery. As long as they are in the rooted state, they have ten points of regeneration ability, that is, ten points of life force are restored every six seconds.
The other is decay purification. The life force contained in their attacks can cause additional damage to those corrupt creatures. The additional damage is determined by the life force poured into it. In one round, only ten points can be poured into it. Once If you choose to pour all ten points of life power into the attack, the life recovery will not take effect until the next turn, and then make another choice.
Said to be two BUFFs, in fact, they are two sides of one ability. You can choose either recovery power or attack power. You cannot have both.
Even so, it is still unbelievably powerful.
Activated trees are actually temporary enlightenment trees. They have at least five life dice. As long as they can hit ordinary dead branch monsters, they can basically hit one with one punch. There is no need to use corruption and purification at all, only against those bloody dead branch monsters. When you want to achieve the effect of killing with one hit, you must use this ability.
No matter how evil the bloody dead branch monsters are, they are still the mutated growth of the dead branch monsters. Their foundation is relatively weak and their strength is still relatively limited.
On the other hand, the attack from the dead branch monster is a bit weak. The thorns and sharp claws scratch the activated trees, and the scratched dead bark flies around, leaving only shallow scratches. On the contrary, it is its own thorns. The sharp claws will break if you are not careful.
With physical attacks alone, it is difficult for the dead branch monster to break through the defense of the activated trees.
Their real weapon against those plants in the past was the toxins contained in their thorns and claws.
This toxin is generated by the power of withering. When it comes to animals, it acts as a paralyzing toxin. When it comes to plants, it turns into a withering toxin, corroding and corrupting them, turning them into nutrients for them, and spawning new dead branches. Weird material.
This time it didn't work at all.
As soon as the blight toxin entered the bodies of the activated trees, it was taken away from their bodies by the tide of life force. Instead of being neutralized, it was brought to the bodies of other trees, where they were quickly metabolized. .
Because the speed is so fast, they don't seem to be afraid of the blight poison.
These activated trees are just the infantry in the front row. The real killer move is behind them, those powerful tree people.
Emerald-green fruits shaped like durians were thrown out by these tree men, and landed accurately where the withered branch monsters were densest. They exploded, and what burst out of them was the purest life force.
For those natural creatures, this power is a good cure for diseases. For these monsters born with the power of withering, it is like poison, and they are washed to the ground in pieces and can never get up again. The withering power in their bodies was washed away by the power of life and they died.
This kind of tree people who pick off their own fruits and throw them as bombs account for about 60% of the tree people in Leisier. They are a specialty of Leisier Forest. They are rarely seen in other forests. , but there are a lot of them here.
This kind of tree is called the Explosive Tree. As the name suggests, their fruits may explode when they mature. The wood of their fruits is very hard and full of durian-like spikes. Once the explosion is extraordinary, it is enough to blow many people away. Small and medium-sized animals were killed instantly.
However, the pulp inside the fruit is very delicious, which is full of temptation to many animals, making them take risks.
Probably because their explosive fruit will create a lot of killing experience for them, the chance of them naturally awakening into tree people is very high.
After becoming treants, their explosive fruits were directly developed to the extreme and became their unique special ability, allowing them to throw their own fruits to attack enemies.
After receiving the support of the life force of the huge Lesir Forest, they directly poured the life force into their own fruits, turning them into life fruit bombs-compared to those activated trees, they could mobilize the life force More powerful.
Those withered ones didn't know what fear was at all. After receiving the death order from the Demonic Mother Tree, even if they were suppressed and beaten by the enemy, they would still rush towards Gavin's natural defense line one after another, as if they were going to use the human sea tactic. A posture that completely submerged them.
This also fully shows that the mother tree of the magic tree is exhausted.
Although they are extremely powerful in a certain aspect when their swords are taken off guard, when their best ability is restrained, they will appear extremely weak.
