A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 67

  Chapter 67 Gold Coast

   "Do you know the way of balance?"

  Matthew looked at the old Jitou with some surprise.

  Old Jitou patted the branches on his body and walked out of the bushes:

   "I have had a few encounters with a Kinkou messenger, he saved my life twice, and he was a... very great person."

  Matthew hurriedly asked:

   "Where is the balance messenger now? Can you tell me more?"

  Old Jitou said regretfully:

   "I don't know where he went. In fact, I only know a little about the way of balance. I only know that it's a way invented by the Sioux people in the south.

  About a hundred years ago, when the Sioux and the Jango were still in their honeymoon period, the shaman of the Jango and the elder of the Sioux conducted in-depth knowledge exchanges.

  At that time, the two sides built many houses on the Gold Coast, and the exchanges were very close.

  It is said that the Sioux people are still encouraging the Jango people to build a large ship that can cross the sea with them. They claim that as long as the large ship is built, they can bring back the wealth hidden in the depths of the sea and share it with the Jango people.

  Many Jango people are tempted, and they are also yearning for the superb technology mastered by the Sioux people. The cooperation between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the way of balance is probably a product of that period of time.

   But then the Feathered Serpent God became angry, and the Jangos had to take the initiative to cut off contact with the Sioux.

   Later, there were no practitioners of the way of balance in the rainforest.

  I've heard that the Sioux themselves have lost a complete inheritance of the Way of Balance.

  The one I met when I was young is probably the last Sioux Emissary of Balance.

   His final destination seems to be the sea, I'm not sure. "

  Matthew's expression was slightly disappointed when he heard this.

   "So, you are here for the way of balance?"

  Old Jitou rubbed the tobacco leaves unconsciously.

  Matthew nodded.

   "Then I advise you to lower your expectations."

  Old Jitou sighed and said:

  "The number of Sioux people is declining. A considerable number of Sioux people only believe that the other side of the sea is their destination, and they don't want to integrate into the life of this continent.

  The final destination of these people is the sea.

  And a small number of Sioux who are willing to integrate here also lost the skills of their ancestors and became natives of the island, not much better than the Jango. "

  Matthew quickly adjusted his mentality:

   "Thank you for your reminder, but since I have come here, I should keep trying."

  Old Jitou didn't say anything more.

  Lorland next to him asked curiously:

  “What does “the ultimate destination is the sea” mean? They turned into naga? "

  Old Jitou coughed twice. He didn't want to answer, but seeing Matthew also looked curious, he said:

"It's a secret ritual of the Sioux people. They firmly believe that the souls of their ancestors on the other side of the sea will guide their way back, so before they die, or when they feel a strong inspiration, they will hold their hands empty-handed." into the sea."

  Lorland was startled: "Isn't that just sending you to death?"

Old Jitou frowned and said: "From our point of view, this is no different from sending you to death, but it means a lot to them. They consider themselves wanderers abandoned by their homeland, and they are willing to do anything in order to return to their homeland. In this respect , the Sioux people have a particularly strong obsession."

  Lorland said in surprise: "There is such an obsession? It's really puzzling."

  Old Jitou immediately warned:

"No matter what, when we are in a foreign country, respecting their customs and habits is the most basic politeness and survival rule. This is the case with the Jango people, and it is also the case with the Sioux people. It's okay for us to discuss a few words behind our backs, and we can't mess around in front of them. explain."

  Lorland curled his lips, but soon he became happy again, as if there was more new material.

   "Let's hit the road."

  Matthew reminded:

   "Then this rainforest should not trouble us anymore."

   As he said that, as if to confirm this point, he walked towards the two piranhas who had been fighting each other.

"careful!"

  Old Jitou shouted.

   "It doesn't matter."

  Matthew responded easily.

  Then Old Jitou and Lorraine were surprised to see Matthew walking to the man-eating lace unharmed.

   As soon as he got close, the two piranhas stopped fighting!

  And they didn't attack Matthew, but kept shaking their bodies, as if they were longing for something.

   "Didn't you say that this rainforest hates you?"

   Lorraine had a hellish expression.

   "I think, maybe she doesn't hate me so much now?"

  Matthew stretched out his hand with a smile, and two piranhas frantically rubbed their buds against the back of Matthew's hand, as if they had been domesticated pets for many years.

   This scene is too horrifying and bizarre.

   So much so that the old Jitou almost lost his grip on the bong in his hand!

   "Magic, you must have used magic!"

  Lorland shouted even more:

   "How about you get out of the way and let me try?"

  Matthew took half a step back.

  Before Lorraine stepped forward, the two piranhas were extremely jealous when they met each other again, and they pinched frantically!

  One of the flowers turned around in a big circle after shaking because of the excessive wrestling, and suddenly passed by the hem of Lorraine's trousers. The serrations on the edge of the bud suddenly stretched out, scraping off a few pieces of cloth on his body.

   "Matthew! The duration of your magic is too short!"

   Lorraine jumped and shouted.

  But at this moment Matthew turned and walked into another bush, he could feel himself entering a strange state—

  Obviously before his foot stepped in, the bushes automatically separated to the two sides.

   A adder bowed to him, and two burrowing owls greeted him.

  A little flying squirrel who looked a bit bruised and swollen for some reason even hospitablely held up a few berries to him.

  He can clearly feel the direction of his progress, and the road will be unimpeded.

  After that, even without the old Jitou as a guide, Matthew can successfully cross the rainforest.

   ""Su Ya's Pleasure" is really pleasant. "

   Matthew thought so.

  Recalling what happened in Hei Rong's dream, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth:

   "Mistake? Forgot? Who would believe it!"

  The process of transferring the advanced ritual that originally belonged to the fourth-level macho to a second-level mage is like forcing a telegraph pole into a Coke bottle.

  This process is extremely rough.

   It can't be a work mistake, it's definitely Su Ya's intention.

  The temperament of the soul of the rainforest is unpredictable, but Matthew guesses that this is mostly related to his super high natural affinity.

  In the black banyan dreamland.

  Although Su Ya's attitude towards him was very bad, scolding and fierce, her eyes never left Matthew from the beginning to the end, not even for a moment.

  That kind of look, Matthew understands it all too well.

   In a word, the boy must protect himself when he is outside alone!

  He knows that once his super high affinity for nature establishes a connection with the soul of nature and fine creatures, they can't help but want to get close to him.

   Salted fish like Lulu and Ella are fine.

  But Su Ya, the soul of the rainforest, is not an easy-going lamp, her tendency to possess is more obvious.

  Conquering the soul of the rainforest is by no means an easy task. Matthew hasn't swelled to that extent yet, so he would rather believe that Su Ya is acting.

   "It's sometimes troublesome if the natural affinity is too high."

  But then he thought about it, high is better than low, right?

   People with low affinity don't know how much effort it will take to communicate with the soul of the rainforest.

  Thinking about this, Matthew turned back and urged:

"let's go."

  The two people who were stunned by the incredible sights before them came back to their senses.

   "The practitioners of the way of balance are indeed born different."

  Old Jitou sighed with emotion, and then silently followed Matthew's pace.

  Lorland spread his hands:

   "So, should I change the title of my work?"

   ""The Balancer Matthew" huh? "

   Two and a half days later.

  A group of people traveled through layers of rainforest and came to the shore of a large lake with no end in sight.

   "This is "Dalong Lake". There are often plesiosaurs around the lake. Someone once saw a prehistoric brontosaurus in the center of the lake, but that was a legend a long time ago. "

   "The ecology here is a self-contained system, which is a little different from that in the rainforest. Have you noticed it? The temperature by the lake is very low, and the further you go to the center of the lake, the lower the temperature."

  Old Jitou leisurely introduced:

   "However, we won't stay on the shore of Dalong Lake for too long. Next, we will walk all the way along the rainforest on the east bank of the lake. We can leave the rainforest in at most two and a half days and arrive at the destination of this trip, the Gold Coast."

   In the past two days, he has been doing very easily as a guide.

  The soul of the rainforest loves Matthew, even fools can tell that no rainforest creature dares to offend him where he is.

  Old Jitou just needs to lead the way with peace of mind.

The only one who was dissatisfied was Lorraine, who bluntly said that he lost a lot of fun, but when the old Jitou suggested that he would take him another way, he immediately kept silent, and it was only after a while that he said that he would fight side by side with Matthew In the end, I will never give up my companion Yunyun.

   A group of people are taking a rest by the Dalong Lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery while drinking fresh water.

  It was evening.

  Sparkling on the open lake.

  Matthew observed that many animals were drinking water by the lake.

  Wolf, honey badger, bear, fox, monkey, rabbit...

  The animals seem to completely ignore each other while drinking water, and the picture is very peaceful and peaceful for a while.

   can be very fast.

   This peaceful scene was broken.

  A plesiosaur suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the lake, causing countless splashes, and many animals were startled away.

   At this time.

  A black shadow suddenly came out from behind a rock on the shore.

  He was as fast as a cheetah, rushed to the shore in the blink of an eye, and then made a vertical leap, riding directly on the neck of the plesiosaur!

   "Hiss!"

  The plesiosaur roared angrily.

   But soon the roar turned into a whine.

Matthew could see clearly that the bare-chested Jango native with a few darts hanging from his waist suddenly hugged the plesiosaur's neck. While the latter was struggling, he suddenly moved his right palm towards the The plesiosaur's neck slapped violently!

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

  The speed of the indigenous palm clapping is extremely fast, about a hundred times in about three breaths!

   Immediately after.

  The three of them saw that the plesiosaur's neck seemed to have lost its support, and it fell powerlessly to the shore!

   All the beasts on the bank were frightened away, and the dust was flying.

   When the three of them walked through the sand and approached the shore, they found that the strong and somewhat excessive native was dragging the plesiosaur's neck and walking into the rainforest.

   That plesiosaur is dead.

  Not to mention Matthew and Lorraine, even the old Jitou seems to have never seen such a wonderful and effective dragon hunting technique.

   "He is a blower, but he didn't use the blower. His strength is amazing."

  Old Jitou speculated:

   "It is also possible that monsters of this level are not worthy of his use of weapons."

  Easy to kill a plesiosaur of at least level 13 with bare hands, this person's strength is too strong!

  The three of them looked at the native with some vigilance.

   On the contrary, the latter greeted them generously:

"Hey, outsiders! You'd better not stay by the lake for too long. There is a colony of plesiosaurs here. They are very vengeful, but they often don't recognize humans, so they will attack you indiscriminately. Leave quickly Here."

  Old Jitou took a few steps forward:

   "Hello, Son of the Rainforest, may I ask which tribe you are a warrior from?"

The man smiled: "Hello, my name is Lumiere, from the Black Banyan tribe, but don't worry, I'm different from them, I'm not as exclusive as the old guys in the tribe, I want to be the king of the rainforest I am a good man, I know how to make progress, and I would like to see the outside world if I have the chance!"

   Seeing that he had a good attitude, Lorraine also approached him and asked curiously:

   "What are you doing?"

  Lumière patiently explained: "I am pleasing the soul of the rainforest, and I am asking her to help me hold an advanced ceremony."

  Lorland suddenly became interested: "The advancement ceremony? Can we watch it? I haven't seen the advancement process of the rainforest warrior."

   Lumière smiled shyly:

"This is not allowed, I am not xenophobic, but this is the tradition of our tribe, it is not convenient for outsiders to visit, and for your safety, you should hurry up! Although most adventurers who can break into the depths of the rainforest have some skills, But Dalong Lake is different, it has a very different ecology from the rainforest, and even the soul of the rainforest can't control it, so be careful!"

  Old Ji nodded, indicating that he would leave as soon as possible.

   Seeing the other party's sincere attitude, Luo Lan was embarrassed to continue stalking.

   Only Matthew's eyes are very complicated.

  At this moment, he had already guessed that the native in front of him was the unlucky guy who begged Su Ya for the advanced ceremony.

  Although this matter has nothing to do with Matthew, and even he himself is a victim, he still wants to get Lumière as much as possible.

  So he asked: "How many advanced monsters have you hunted?"

Lumière thought for a while: "Twenty-one wyverns, thirteen spotted crocodiles, two jungle leopards, and some miscellaneous prey—the rainforest in the north of Dalong was almost wiped out by me, and so did I." I had no choice but to come to the Dalong Lake to hunt."

   Matthew secretly thought in his heart that it was so.

   That guy Su Ya has no intention of holding an advanced ceremony for others now!

  Thinking that the soul of the rainforest has been staring at him obsessively these days, Matthew has a creepy feeling.

  He wanted to help Lumière even more.

  Matthew said:

   "How can you be sure that you can impress the soul of the rainforest in this way? You have killed so many beasts, but she is still indifferent, don't you think there is something wrong?"

   Lumière froze for a moment, and for the first time an unhappy expression appeared on his face:

   "Do you know the soul of the rainforest better than me?

  Outsider, I grew up here, and I undoubtedly know her better than you!

  I'm pretty sure killing is the only way to please the spirit of the rainforest! "

Matthew smiled and said: "Maybe you are right, but you might as well change your thinking. In the past, you held the sacrifice ceremony alone? You are still hunting plesiosaurs, which means that the soul of the rainforest has not responded to you. Why don't you do it this time?" Let the three of us outsiders accompany us, maybe it will bring good luck?"

  Lorland also persuaded when he heard the words:

"What he said is not unreasonable. Maybe it's just a little bit of luck. It just so happens that I was called a "lucky poet" by the cloud elves in Yunyun City. With my onlooker, maybe your rainforest soul will Take care of you. "

  Old Ji frowned. He wanted to stop the two's reckless actions, but thinking of the peculiarity of Matthew, he swallowed the words again.

   Lumiere looked hesitant.

  Matthew strikes while the iron is hot:

   "Traditions are meant to be broken! If you agree with us to watch, then one day if you leave the rainforest and cannot integrate into human civilized society, you can come to Rolling Stone Town to find me, and I will give you some help."

Lorraine even waved his hand: "If you go to any city, as long as you report Lorraine's name, you will have a lot of friends... Well, it may be a little troublesome, there will be many women coming to you, you just need to talk to them Just say that Lorraine has died at sea."

   Lumière looked at the two in front of him hesitantly.

after awhile.

  He finally let go and agreed:

   "It's okay, I really need to change my luck, but you can't make any noise during the ceremony, and you can't offend the soul of the rainforest. She is my goddess!"

  The two nodded in agreement.

   Lumière acted vigorously and took them to the place where he held the sacrificial ceremony in a short while, which was a damp crypt.

  The corpses of Wyverns and other creatures were piled up next to the crypt, and some of the corpses were rotten and smelly.

   The sacrificial ceremony is quite simple.

   Lumière was ready in a short while.

  He used three wooden stakes to insert into the head of the plesiosaur from three angles.

   Then he himself lay down on the body of the plesiosaur, took a bite, and then chanted a long section of Jango that outsiders could not understand.

A few minutes later.

   Lumière spat out the scales in his mouth.

   His eyes were full of disappointment:

   "Sure enough, it still doesn't work?"

  Matthew walked over and gently stroked the corpse of the plesiosaur.

suddenly.

  A dark red light emerged from the corpse.

   Matthew ran away when he saw this.

   Lumiere rushed forward with great joy!

   Whoosh.

  Red light entered Lumière's chest.

  The distant rain forest began to tremble violently.

   "I feel it, I feel it, the soul of the rainforest gave me a response!"

  He knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes:

   "I knew my piety could impress my goddess!"

   "I'm going to hunt that Tyrannosaurus now, kill him, and I will become the real king of the rainforest!"

   Overjoyed.

  Out of the corner of his eye, Lumière noticed that Matthew was running away.

  He couldn't help shouting loudly:

   "Hey, stranger, I don't know your name yet!"

   "Matthew, my name is Matthew! Remember, Matthew from Rolling Stone!"

  The voice came through the thick branches and leaves of the rainforest.

  Lumiere repeated the name silently in his heart.

   Then he stood up with firm eyes.

   Facing in the direction of the source of the earthquake, he roared and ran wildly.

   "The world outside, I will go and see it after I conquer the rainforest!"

   "Tremble, Tyrannosaurus Rex, the king of the rainforest is coming!"

   Even if you run far away in one breath.

  The three of Matthew also heard Lumiere's long whistle.

   "King of the rainforest?"

  Lorland doesn't seem to be too impressed with this title:

   "After all, there is still a barbaric taste."

  Matthew showed an appreciative smile:

   "I really like him."

   “After all, who doesn't like a confident man?”

   Two days later.

   A group of people finally left the rainforest.

  The lush scenery along the way was left behind by them.

   What comes oncoming is the sea breeze with a salty smell.

  In the endless sea, small islands are looming.

  Waves beat on the golden sand, shells, young coconuts, fish and shrimp, you can see them everywhere.

   Matthew was bathed in the sea breeze along the coast, and a strange resonance came to his heart.

  「Hint: You discovered the Alune Sea/Gold Coast.

  You perceive the domain field: equilibrium. "
