Shadow Covenant

Chapter 221 Chapter 220 "Leaving"

However, there was still a long time before the time agreed by Angelina. Woody's thoughts were almost stifled by him as soon as they came up.

I don't know what his character is. Although he trained Angelina, who was originally an orphan, to become a monk, it doesn't rule out that the malice he harbored has not been exposed.

Even if he wanted to use the whereabouts of a World Tree seed in exchange for the help of the legendary monk, he would have to wait until he fully understood it before he could voluntarily reveal it.

Otherwise, to some extent, the group of monks would be much more difficult to deal with than the rigid and stubborn paladin, if he revealed the news about the World Tree seed.

It is not ruled out that they will use force to snatch it, and it will be fun to steal the chicken and lose the rice.

Woody has always believed in a motto.

——"The premise of all transactions is equality."

And he didn't think of any good way to benefit both parties for the time being, but after learning what the legendary monk might pursue, he secretly kept it in his heart.

After all, it might be useful at some point, at least it gave him another unknown hole card, or relationship, in this turbulent era.

In addition, Woody's sadness caused by the withering of the seeds is a little smaller.

Kaverman's sadness was gradually released as he poured out. After he knew that the World Tree seed was not the only remaining fire in the entire multiverse, after a burst of catharsis, his mentality was better than before, and his eyes lit up .

He didn't question the authenticity of Woody's words, after all, the appearance of the shrine is the most powerful proof, and it didn't take long for Woody to show him the existence of natural will again.

The long-lost spirit-hunting oath was opened.

There is still a lot of time, but because he didn't stay in River Valley City, Woody intends to use the "tree heart" left by the elf no longer as a material for potions, but instead to use it as a sacrifice for the spirit hunting oath. As a product, several of Mori's specialties are very good. If possible, Woody still wants to directly replace the evil nemesis.

Because he remembered that most of the monsters in the Lost Temple were lawful and neutral, and spells such as protection from evil could not work on them. Therefore, the evil nemesis that only works on creatures of the evil camp was like a tasteless one at this time.

He wants to maximize his strength before the battle begins, not to say that he is worried about Kaverman or Cecil, but that the strength he is showing now will greatly affect the next ascension ceremony.

This can affect his future advancement of the disaster blade.

Woody placed the heart of the tree on an additional nature altar.

Because of the particularity of the spirit hunting oath, Woody didn't let Doni and others watch closely this time, but just looked at it from a distance, but even so, the others were still shocked by the natural will that Woody prayed for, especially It was Cecil. She listened to the sounds of insects in the surrounding environment that suddenly raised several pitches under the influence of natural will, and she suddenly found that the man in front of her was even younger than her, but there was a mystery she didn't know about him. One after another, surprised, curious, puzzled.Various emotions are intertwined in her heart, as an advanced "Secret Code Mage", she has too much to know.

Just like the ancient ritual just now, and like the natural shrine now, she suddenly felt that she was no longer a spellcaster who knew everything, but a fool who had just entered the city and looked at everything with a blank face.

Woody naturally doesn't care what other people think of him.

His eyes are now focused on the shrine, until the natural shrine, completely expelled from the spider deity, shows its unique emerald green luster in the open space on the hillside, Woody knows that the ceremony has begun.

No longer hesitating, he repeated the oath he had memorized thousands of times directly to the natural shrine.

——"Swear by nature! The evil will be eliminated and purified, and the undead will be judged by death!"

As the heart of the tree on the altar changed from the original bright and clear crystal to a dull white stone, Woody knew that the oath had been fulfilled. Similarly, the data emerging from the tree retina also told him the result of the ceremony.

——"Natural Walker" Enze": From the beginning of your birth, the will of nature has sent love to you. In the years to come, you also relied on this unique love to let yourself gain in the forest. The help and benefits that ordinary people can't think of, any difficult terrain in the forest can be regarded as simple for you, and the environmental concealment and stealth gain a gain of 10. In addition, when talking with any creature in the forest You can get 10 points of affinity at any time, and they will trust you like they trust their parents. "

——"Whenever a druid raises the controversial point of "nature is fair and endows all creatures with life and death", they can never get around the monster "Elf" born after death as a creature, because his Existence, contrary to the process of life and death, as long as the forest still exists, as long as the creatures will die, then the return of the elf is only a matter of time, so some people say that the elf is nature itself, but this explanation was quickly dismissed People criticized it until the elf, as the creation of the evil mage, re-entered the information in the monster illustrated book, and it was not over, and he also had a new definition of "remnant" in the druid's explanation. —— "The Origin and History of the "Remnant" Mori" by Karlando, a polymath"

……

Not bad special talent, whether it is stealth gain or ignoring difficult terrain, it is what Woody needs at present, although Woody is a little regretful that he did not get the special ability of the elf that can emit fog around and trap it in the fog Expertise, but it's good to be able to use something like Enze, and the Lost Temple he entered next was built in the middle of the forest, and it still has a role.

Therefore, without much hesitation, Woody quickly replaced the talent of "Evil Buster" with "Nature Walker".

After the data flashed, the current specialties of Woody's Spirit Hunting Vow also gradually changed to "Outstanding", "Telepathy" and "Nature Walker".

At this time, Woody also felt that his body had entered a state of extreme comfort in an instant. He knew that this was the buff effect attached to the Nature Walker, which allowed him to blend in with the forest environment unconsciously.

And this kind of feeling is difficult for other people to perceive with the naked eye, but Kafferman, who used to be a guardian of nature, noticed the natural breath emanating from Woody's body, and this situation directly stunned him, or Said to doubt life.

After all, as an old ranger who often goes in and out of the forest, he can easily tell who are the citizens of the forest and who are outsiders. The breath and the pace of action can be seen.

He and Woody have also had a peer experience, and he can be sure that Woody's experience in fighting in the forest is definitely not rich, as can be seen from the previous battle with the creeping monster in the Great Rift, but at this time, he learned from Woody On his body, what he perceives is the feeling of being a spirit, as if he was born in the forest, and the whole nature is celebrating his arrival, which belongs to the rhythm that is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.

You know, these changes are just a momentary thing.

However, this further supports the rumor that Woody signed a contract with the will of nature. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the mutation that is happening to Woody's body now.

But the more this happened, the more Kaverman began to look forward to the next journey at this moment, because according to the caretaker of the natural will, his wife is really likely to appear in the so-called demiplane of the forest. Thinking of this, the Ranger, whose body was half buried in the ground, was full of motivation at the moment.

"I have to go to the forest."

Woody felt the benefits that the Nature Walker gave him, so he naturally wanted to fully adapt to the forest, which would be more conducive to his next performance.

Cecil had no objection, she just expressed a little curiosity.

"Woody, why do you look and feel different?"

"Well, just like those druids!"

Donnie interjected.

The spirit of nature is also rarely surprised. Obviously, with its understanding ability, it is difficult to accept the mortal who has nothing just now. At this moment, his body actually exudes an aura similar to it. This is favored by nature. Signal.

However, the existence of the natural shrine is enough to answer all doubts, so Woody left the temporary camp without being asked too much, entered the forest, and began to experience the feeling brought by nature walkers.

The others also started their own preparations. Cecil was still reading spells in the carriage, while Kaverman continued to tinker with his weapons, as if he was enchanting arrows, and the spirit of nature was strange. Collecting something around the camp, Donnie saw flowers of various shapes.

What is this for?
Doni was a little curious, but she was not familiar with the spirit of nature and did not communicate with her before, so she could only complain to Cecil secretly. Cecil was also a little strange when he heard the behavior of the spirit of nature, but he did not directly To ask, after all, they had to rely on the memory of Cohen in his mind to come here, but a little bit of vigilance rose in his heart.

When Woody came back, he told him about it.

After Woody came back, he didn't show much surprise when he heard the news. He vaguely guessed the reason.

Seeing Woody's appearance, Cecil seemed to understand something instantly, and said in surprise.

"You mean?"

"Yeah, that's it."

There was no content in the conversation between the two, but both sides got the information they wanted from the expressions, only Donnie, who was still confused from the discovery to the end, was in a hurry.

"what does it mean?"

"What is he collecting flowers for? Why are you two chatting like this!"

Doni was a little out of breath, and couldn't hold it back for a while, and directly spoke the common language in the form of a cat.

Woody and Cecil looked at each other, smiled at each other.

"If the guess is correct, it should have something to do with its owner. It's not a big deal, so don't worry about it."

"Oh, you mean the lord's wife who created him?"

Doni naturally understood when she heard this, but she was still shocked. After all, she couldn't understand why the spirit of nature wanted to collect flowers. If it was her, she would definitely hope to receive many beautiful pearls and corals after death, and shark……

"Well, he said before that in order to curb the curse, his wife died in the third turmoil, and the grave should be near here."

There was nothing wrong with Woody's conjecture. As the time reached three o'clock in the afternoon, the entire forest was bathed in warm sunlight and stepped in the shadow of the fragmented whirling trees. In Jingsong Forest, the destination of this trip.

Compared with the flat terrain and dense jungle scenery in the Great Rift area, the most notable change in Jingsong Forest is that the vision of the forest gradually widens as it goes deeper, towering and towering, with thick vines replacing the original dense jungle. And the dense canopy also fragmented the warm sun projected from the top of the head.

Woody and his party climbed among the hillsides where the giant trees bulged, and from time to time, with the help of the hanging vines, they climbed to the bottom of the next tree like climbing a building.

Ever since they entered the Jingsong Forest, they have never walked a straight road. Around the forest's rising foothills, detours have gradually become the norm. Climbing like this is already considered simple. There was no place to step down in the thicket of thorns, and Woody could only take a detour at that time.

"Is there a green dragon living in this forest? There are vines and high slopes. I even thought I came to the highest forest."

Donnie was jumping lightly in the forest, but even it couldn't help but be amazed by the grandeur of this primeval forest. In the memory of the dragon's inheritance, only the highest forest where elves live can be compared with it.

"It's just a simple distortion. It is impossible for the green dragon's lair to have so many tall trees. They are usually like the stars arching the moon, but only one is particularly eye-catching."

Woody's foot stepped on a protruding tree burl, grabbed and climbed, and climbed to the bottom of another giant tree. Looking at such a towering tree above his head, although he had the memory of his previous life as a guarantee, Woody Still can't help being afraid.

It won't suddenly become an ancient tree of war, right?He remembered that he had encountered such a situation when he was adventuring in the Fairy Wilderness.

He couldn't bear a slap from that thing.

Fortunately, passing through this particularly huge forest, not a single giant tree made any movement.

And after passing through this weird hill made up of giant trees, there is only one ridge left from the mouth of nature to enter the fog that can close the surrounding Golden River Valley. You only need to turn to the other side of Jingsong Forest to reach it.

However, when everyone tried their best to climb to the highest point of the ridge and could already see most of the Jingsong Forest, the spirit of nature who had been the leader stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and said to everyone.

"Let's stop here for a while. I have something to do. I will be back soon. Of course, if you don't feel relieved and don't feel bored, you can also follow me."

Woody noticed at this time that there were a handful of blooming flowers around his waist.
