A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 62

Chapter 62 "Rainforest Fever"

The soul of nature formed by the geographical environment and group consciousness often has its own temperament.

For example, the natural soul of Xueshan loves to sleep more, and is very lazy in external communication. It may not be willing to talk to you with such a high natural affinity as Matthew.

The rainforest is different, it looks young and lively, cruel and warlike.

This is related to environmental factors. The species in the rainforest is extremely rich and the ecological niches are dense. All creatures find a way to evolve through constant fighting.

The law of the rainforest, the law of the jungle.

Therefore, the group consciousness formed by these creatures is naturally violent and warlike.

Facing the challenge of the soul of the rain forest, Matthew has no choice but to accept it!

If he avoids fighting, he will not only lose an opportunity to improve himself, but may also cast a shadow over his future development in the natural field.

"etc."

After accepting the challenge, Matthew stopped immediately. He said to the old Jitou and Lorraine:

"I'm in a little trouble, and I won't be able to walk with you in the short term."

The challenge of the soul of the rainforest is only for Matthew. He doesn't want to drag the old Jitou and Lorraine into the water.

Under the puzzled eyes of the two.

Matthew explained:

"Just now, I had some sparks with the natural soul of this rainforest, and it has a big opinion on me now. Before long, all kinds of beasts and monsters will come to the door, I don't want to implicate you."

Old Jitou looked at Matthew suspiciously:

"Can you communicate with the soul of the rainforest?"

Matthew didn't elaborate, just nodded and said:

"by chance."

Hearing the words, Lorraine immediately said firmly:

"How can you give up your companions at this time? Matthew, no matter how many monsters come, I will fight by your side. I will be your strongest backing in battle!"

"I was worried that the journey would be dull and boring, and I had nowhere to collect materials. This is just right, let me see what kind of monsters there are in this rainforest! It's a pity that no matter how powerful they are, they can't compare to the sky giants I captured with my own hands! "

Old Jitou took a deep look at Matthew.

The next moment, he picked up the dagger and walked back:

"I will not give up my employer halfway, and you are not familiar with this area. If we part ways, your chances of winning will be greatly reduced."

"Just, about the attack of the jungle monsters, can you explain in more detail?"

Matthew pondered:

"It will last about ten days. During the day they may be just ordinary harassment. Generally, at midnight, the monsters are more likely to attack frantically."

This is not Matthew's random nonsense, or the fragments of information revealed by the other party during the communication with the soul of the rain forest, which was captured by him.

But Matthew is not sure if this is a smoke bomb.

In short, for the next ten days, he will have to sleep on his guns.

After listening to the old Jitou, he chose another road and motioned for Matthew and the two to follow:

"The terrain here is not suitable for us to fight, I will take you to another place.

That is the periphery of the Bitterwater Swamp, where the terrain is relatively open and the terrain is not that complicated.

The only monsters that appear nearby are black-backed gnolls and small mite monsters, which are mostly nothing to worry about.

The only thing to pay attention to is two points. Occasionally there will be groups of wyverns in that area, but the chance of us hitting them is very low;

In addition, the western part of Bitterwater Marsh is the territory of a manticore, it has lived for a very long time, at least two hundred years, try not to lean there—

Beforehand, if a manticore or a wyvern appears, then I can only give priority to protecting myself. "

Lorraine smiled disapprovingly:

"It's okay, I will protect you!

Suddenly I became a little excited. How will future generations tell this experience——

Is this the beginning of the legendary road of the great poet Lorraine?

Uh, this title is a bit vulgar. Bards should be praising others instead of boasting.

Haha, I thought of the title of the new work, it's called "Matthew the Brave / Part 1: Rainforest Fever"!

Maybe it can be adapted into a stage play!

The stage play pictorial uses the rainforest as the background, with your portrait in the center, and next to two beauties from the Jango people with sparse fabrics and adoring faces. How about you hugging left and right? "

Matthew patted him on the shoulder:

"Sounds good, but remember that after the fire, give me a portrait fee and licensing fee."

In the west of the Bitterwater Swamp, on a wasteland with scattered reeds and thorns, the old Jitou was using a short knife to cut off all the plants that might obstruct his vision.

Matthew and Lorraine are also assisting.

Matthew looked around and found that the land that old Jitou had chosen was really good.

First of all, the terrain here is relatively high, and the field of vision is relatively wide.

The second is a piece of dry land, away from small rivers and streams, with few weeds and shrubs, and easy to clean up.

In the end, there are not many tall trees nearby, which is equal to a small open space in the dense rainforest.

"Why is there such a place?"

Matthew realized that this highland was not formed naturally, so he asked.

Old Jitou chops thorns meticulously:

"There used to be a mage living in the depths of the Bitterwater Swamp. He was a loner, he didn't like to deal with people, and he hated others approaching his territory.

So when the mage first came, he had several conflicts with the Jango tribe and some monsters in the rainforest.

After several rounds of fierce fighting, the mage won the final victory.

Later, no one wanted to approach here, especially the spiritual beasts in the rainforest.

The mage disappeared about 3 years ago, some speculated that he was dead, some speculated that he just left for a long time, but either way, the Brine Marsh was emptied.

It's just that due to the traps and deterrents left by the mage, there haven't been too many monster settlements here yet.

The highland in front of us is formed by the accumulation of the corpses of the earth giants summoned by the mage in a battle.

In addition to the terrain factor, I chose this place mainly for two reasons. First, the mage's deterrent to the rainforest creatures is still there, which may filter out some enemies for you;

Second, the situation is really critical. I suggest you try to escape to the depths of the swamp. Of course, this is a way to survive. "

Matthew instantly heard what the old Jitou meant:

"So, that mage is also a necromancer?"

Snapped!

After cutting off the last thorns, Lao Jitou dropped the dagger, took out the dry tobacco from the bundle behind his back, sipped it twice, then nodded and continued:

"Yes. The necromancer was so powerful and so evil that he was once the nightmare of the nearby Jango tribe.

Half of his undead army were transformed from rainforest creatures, and the remaining half were Jangos. He even made two abominations out of Jango corpses!

But the Jangos still had nothing to do with him. During several confrontations with the Necromancer, they prayed to the Feathered Serpent God, dispatched giant jungle war beasts, and even lost five or six shamans. enemy.

If it wasn't for the necromancer's lack of ambition to expand his territory, I'm afraid this rainforest has already changed its name.

In short, I suspect that the necromancer is close to even stepping into legend.

He left many traps and undead in the swamp.

Even if you are also a Necromancer, it may be difficult for you to communicate with those undead.

So don't venture into the depths of the swamp until the last moment! "

After listening to the old Jitou's warning.

Matthew sincerely said:

"Thanks."

Old Jitou waved his hand:

"I'm just a guide, and I can't help you too much. I'm afraid you will have to ask for luck if you really fight."

At this moment, Lorraine interjected:

"It's okay, I will fight with you. Although I don't know magic and my martial arts skills are average, my flute will surprise you all!"

As he spoke, he shook the light green flute on his waist.

"Then we will wait and see."

Matthew smiled and continued to prepare for the upcoming battle.

is sinking day by day.

The tired bird returns home.

Among the sparse cries.

In the jungle on the edge of the highland, unknowingly, there are more figures with malicious intentions.

"coming."

Matthew reminded in a low voice.

Besides, Old Jitou was full of vigilance.

Only Lorraine was still holding a comic book-like booklet, reading it with relish, and giggling from time to time.

Until I heard Matthew's reminder.

He closed the booklet slowly, stretched and looked around blankly:

"Where is it?"

"East."

Matthew said calmly: "It's a group of black-backed gnolls, the number is between 8 and 11. Is there a dungeon nearby?"

Old Jitou quickly replied:

"There are some, but not many, and the surface exit is far from here."

Matthew nodded:

"There are three jungle leopards in the west, all of which seem to be female, and their average level is around 10."

"There is also a level 11 forest giant anaconda lurking on the banyan tree in the north. It has camouflage colors, and I almost didn't recognize it."

Old Jitou looked at Matthew in surprise:

"Did you use a detect spell?"

Based on his years of experience in traveling through the rainforest and his abilities suitable for this place, he never found the giant forest anaconda, but Matthew, a necromancer, discovered it with his naked eyes. How could he not be surprised?

Matthew didn't explain.

In fact, Ella whispered in his arms to remind him that the soul of nature is indeed excellent in perceiving beasts. With Ella, any movement of creatures in the rainforest can't be hidden from Matthew's eyes.

"It's time to do it."

Matthew noticed the movement of the black-backed wolves.

"I'm going to lure that giant forest anaconda away."

Old Jitou said quickly:

"I'm very experienced in dealing with giant pythons, you don't have to worry about me."

As he spoke, he groped in the direction of the giant python alone.

And the other side.

The black-backed jackals also seemed to realize that they had been exposed, so they stopped covering up and surrounded them directly.

Black-backed gnolls are close relatives of gnolls, but they are much taller than ordinary gnolls. They have sparse black hair and a very strong physique, almost comparable to half-orcs.

This kind of creature is usually active in the dungeon, and it is extremely rare in the rainforest. But since the other party appeared in this siege, it proves that they are also a part of this rainforest, driven by the soul of the rainforest.

Matthew was not careless. This batch of black-backed gnolls were of very high level, with an average level of 7 or more, and several of them were 9. In addition, they were also inspired by the bloodlust of the soul of the jungle, so their strength should not be underestimated.

He controlled the skeleton soldiers to meet the enemy, while the figure of Ah Bing gradually disappeared into the air.

At this time.

A cheerful flute sounded, but it was Lorraine who played it with a happy expression.

He played quickly and skillfully.

In just ten seconds, the short flute sound changed from cheerful and intense to melodious and atmospheric.

And in the change of flute sound, buffs were also hung on Matthew.

「Reminder: You have listened to the excerpt of Lorraine's music, "The Little Song Over the Mountain", and the movement speed has been improved;

You have listened to Lorraine's music excerpt "Numb Heart", and your resistance to charm has been improved;

You have listened to Lorraine's music excerpt "Song of the Mermaid", and your casting speed has been increased"

Ahead, the gnolls had already clashed with the undead, but the black-backed gnolls' combat power was astonishing. Almost as soon as they touched them, the skeleton soldiers were at a disadvantage and could only hold on.

At this time, Lorraine's flute became simple and high-pitched.

"Reminder: You have listened to Lorraine's music excerpt "Ancient Battlefield", and the spells you cast have a slight chance of causing double casting.

You have listened to Lorraine's music excerpt "Song of the Wind", and you have obtained a gale shield"

The sound of the flute continued here, and a steady stream of buffs hung on Matthew. At this moment, Matthew finally experienced the feeling of being strengthened!

It's a pity that the undead can only get the "Gust Shield", and other buffs are invalid.

And Matthew checked carefully. Although the buff duration given by Lorraine is not short, the effect can only be described as "slight".

I don't know if this is because I haven't heard the complete piece of music, or because Lorraine's level is insufficient.

Bard is a late-stage career after all, and Matthew didn't place too much hope on him.

"Back off and find a safe place."

Seeing Lorraine put down his flute, Matthew took the initiative to remind him.

He thought that with the heroic spirit shown by the poet before, he would strongly request to stay and fight side by side with him, and he even thought about how to persuade the other party.

However, Lorraine seemed very obedient after hearing Matthew's words this time.

He ran away as if he had accomplished everything he could.

Matthew also saw him find a suitable viewing position, and he was cheering himself up with body movements in the distance.

"What a strange guy."

Matthew didn't care.

His attention turns back to the front.

At this moment, the black-backed gnolls had gained the absolute upper hand, but when the figure of the knife dancer began to appear behind them, the battlefield situation was instantly reversed!

Thorn.

A Bing made a move, the daggers interlaced, and a head fell to the ground!

The other black-backed jackals rushed towards Ah Bing in a mixture of shock and anger.

However, Ah Bing only took half a step back, and then retreated deeply into the shadows, leaving no trace of the enemy.

Matthew nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

But the next moment.

Natural affinity has changed!

「Warning: The soul of the rain forest is very dissatisfied with your attitude of using summons to kill enemies!

The real strong should have the courage to fight themselves, not pretend to be others! "

"Are you not allowed to use summons?"

Matthew frowned.

also.

Judging from the monsters that have appeared so far, even without undead, Matthew can handle it by himself!

So while ordering the undead to retreat to the side, he took out a charging staff from his luggage—

Arcane Missile!

Five consecutive magic energy **** hit the front jackal.

The spell failed to kill him immediately, but knocked him to the ground. In the next second, Matthew deftly fired a crossbow at the fallen enemy.

Poof!

The crossbow arrow was nailed into the gnoll's jaw, and the wolf man let out a mournful cry and died tragically on the spot.

"Well, my shots are getting better and better."

Matthew is very satisfied with his performance.

However, at this time.

The feeling of deja vu resurfaced again.

「Warning: Soul of the Rainforest is not happy with the way you use items to kill enemies!

The real strong should be brave to charge instead of using long-range insidiously. "

Now Matthew is not happy.

"Once again, again and again, is this trying to PUA me?"

"If you kill someone, you still have to force Lai Lai, it's a shame, right?"

This time Matthew directly ignored the warning of the soul of the rainforest.

Not only did he reorder the undead to come back to fight, but he also took out blazing glue and Molotov cocktails from the Miaofa luggage.

Bang bang twice.

The flame exploded.

Several gnolls were hit, and they ran away screaming one by one.

A Bing, who was lurking in the dark, was already hungry and thirsty. He appeared from the shadows, and began to enter the harvesting mode with one knife at a time.

Facing the sword dancer's blade, the black-backed gnolls were quickly defeated, and eventually the entire army was wiped out.

The three jungle leopards that appeared before were more vigilant. They just wandered around the edge of the battlefield twice, and when they realized that there was no chance, they retreated and left.

After a while.

Matthew began to pack up the body of the wolf man.

At this time, the figure of the old Jitou emerged from the rainforest.

"Where's the giant anaconda?"

Matthew greeted from afar.

"He followed me for a while, then ran off."

Old Jitou answered loudly.

However, at this time.

The expression on his face changed drastically, and Matthew also heard Ella's exclamation:

"Matthew, run, there's something wrong with the tree on the right!"

The voice did not fall.

The dead tree that seemed to have been lying on the ground from the beginning suddenly jumped up!

The huge body of the forest boa constrictor instantly formed a huge shadow on Matthew.

At this time, the moon has risen and the moonlight is bright.

The giant anaconda threw itself at Matthew fiercely, its slippery body entangled him layer by layer, vowing to hang him instantly.

However, at the moment it pounced.

Matthew's body began to swell unconsciously!

"Roar!"

Under the horrified eyes of the giant boa and the old Jitou, a brown bear that seemed to be radiating moonlight appeared out of thin air!

Snapped!

Moon Bear grabbed the forest boa's head and smashed it hard to the ground.

The soft moonlight shone on Moon Bear, adding a lot of attributes to him.

boom!

Matthew just pressed the giant anaconda's head and smashed it to death!

The latter didn't even have a chance to resist, so he was smashed through the head and lost his life.

"The enemy in the first round is relatively easy."

Looking around, seeing that there were no other enemies, Matthew put away his transformation.

next moment.

A furious voice sounded from the bottom of Matthew's heart:

"How dare you ignore my warning?!"

Matthew knew that this was the externalization of the will of the soul of the rainforest.

He thought for a moment, and decided to push back unceremoniously:

"Although you send people over, who to kill first and **** them are my business!"

The soul of the rainforest said angrily:

"You have angered the soul of this jungle, I will not let you get out of here alive!"

Matthew also changed his previous gentleness and humility, and even tried to make his tone full of violent emotions:

"As you like, come and kill as many as you want!"

"Send your strongest subordinates as much as you can, let them come to me to die, even if they don't come to me, I will come to my door and kill them-it's a pity that you don't have a physical entity, otherwise I will kill you too!"

The Soul of the Rainforest no longer recovers.

After a while.

「Reminder: Your toughness and tyranny have won the respect of the soul of the rainforest. Your time to be besieged by wild beasts and monsters in the rainforest has been shortened to three days!」

Sure enough.

Matthew thought to himself that the soul of the rainforest and the devil are actually the same thing.

He just felt that he couldn't blindly obey the other party's persecution, but he didn't expect that the clumsy violent performance would gain the other party's respect instead.

this moment.

He finally understood Zeller's helplessness.

In some situations, it can be hard to be a good person.

can be next second.

The smile that just appeared on Matthew's face became stiff again.

「Warning: The soul of the rainforest has raised your danger rating. In the next three days, it will no longer restrain itself and go all out. It will mobilize the most powerful men to besiege you together!

Caution! "

"It seems that imitating the character of the soul of the rainforest is useful, but not completely useful."

Matthew touched his chin, smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Matthew Matthew!"

"Go and have a look, there seems to be something in the stomach of that big snake!"

Ella reminded me by flying over from the side.

Matthew went over immediately.

It was found that the belly of the giant boa was really bulging.

At this moment, Lao Jitou also came over, and the two looked at each other. Lao Jitou raised his knife and slashed open the giant boa's stomach.

grunt.

A humanoid object filled with the stench of corruption rolled out.

Matthew took a closer look.

found that it was actually a zombie.

Around the neck of the zombie, there is still a shiny nameplate.
