The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 61 The Wrath of the Soul of the Rainforest

……

There is no doubt that Matthew chose to continue the affinity.

This is the benefit of a high degree of natural affinity. Wherever you go, you may have an intimate and romantic encounter with the local natural soul.

The soul of the rainforest is also the soul of nature. It does not have a separate individual and will like Ayla, but a collective will made up of trillions of creatures in the rainforest.

If he can successfully please it, then Matthew's journey in the rainforest will be much easier in the future.

It’s just that the current situation is not optimistic. Ella once told him that the soul of the rainforest is particularly violent and violent, and Matthew can feel this himself. It is not a simple task to get along with such a natural soul. matter.

After confirming, a light green progress bar appeared in front of his eyes.

The speed of communication is very slow.

It wasn't until Lao Jitou led the duo to the resting point for tonight—a burrow house on a cliff outside the rainforest, that this thing barely rose to one percent.

"The soul of the rainforest is really not easy to deal with. It is very defensive against outsiders. According to the current progress, it is estimated that it will take at least a few dozen days to open its heart."

Matthew began to wonder if there was a way to speed up the communication.

At this time, Lorraine and Lao Jitou had already laid the floor, and the two started arguing about the night watch.

"Of course I'm here for the vigil! I'm young, strong, energetic, alert, and responsive. Isn't it natural that I'm the best person for the vigil?"

"With me here, no one can do evil!"

Lorraine said carelessly: "You two can get a good night's sleep first, especially you, old Jitou, you sleep more when you are older, and when you enter the rainforest, you still need to lead the way vigorously!"

Old Jitou silently took out the dry tobacco, fiddled with it a few times, shook his head and said:
"I will watch the second half of the night, and Matthew will watch the first half of the night. There is no negotiation. Once you are on the road, you have to listen to me."

"What about me?" Lorraine seemed to feel that he was underestimated, and he said with some dissatisfaction, "Old Jitou, are you discriminating against bards! You must let me play a role?"

Old Jitou thought for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence:
"Why don't you play the flute for everyone!"

Unexpectedly, Lorraine readily agreed, he took out a dark green flute as if by magic, put it on his lips, and pretended to blow it.

The old Jitou hastily stopped and said:

"Stop! Playing the flute here, are you trying to lure the wyverns or the wolf tribe in the rainforest?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lorraine's bewildered expression, and sighed heavily:

"My fault, I shouldn't have joked with you. Sorry, but please rest well tonight."

Lorraine twirled the flute sullenly, as if he had a thousand words in his chest, but he didn't say it, and finally nodded silently.

After a while, Matthew found the old Jitou and suggested:
"Old Jitou, you keep watch for the first half of the night, and my summoned creature will be responsible for the safety of the second half of the night."

As he spoke, he pointed to Ah Bing next to him.

At this time, A Bing was wrapped under a huge cloak, which was made of reeds, and it smelled like a rainforest, and it was not expensive, so Matthew bought it when he found it in the market.

The old Jitou wanted to refuse, but he looked at A Bing for a while, and suddenly changed his mind:

"Okay, but be careful and keep alert at all times."

Matthew nodded, and went to spread a sleeping bag aside.

"Hey, Matthew, the old Jitou obviously doesn't trust me, I have to prove it to him!"

Lorraine, who was leaning against the stone wall, approached in a low voice:

"Did you know that when I was hunting sky giants with the cloud elves in Cloud City, I didn't sleep a wink for ten days and nights!

On the morning of No. 11, I was still full of energy and played a vital role in the battle to capture the sky giant!
I won't sleep tonight regardless of which of you keeps watch.

I'll show that old man what youth's energy is! "

Seeing his excited look, Matthew asked calmly:
"Is this your first time sleeping in the wild?"

Lorraine thought for a while:
"Almost, at least there were luxury carriages before."

Matthew sincerely advised:

"Why don't you sleep for a while and wake up in the middle of the night when the big guys are the sleepiest?"

Lorraine yawned:
"You're right, Matthew, then I'll take a nap first."

The next morning.

The light of the morning sun hit the cliff and penetrated into the cave.

Lorraine was awakened by the sound of birdsong. He rubbed his sleepy eyes contentedly and checked the surrounding environment, only to find that Matthew and the old Jitou had woken up and were fully dressed.

"Good night huh?"

Lorraine greeted them warmly:
"It seems that we were lucky, and no one came to disturb us. Well, I wanted to wake up to watch the night, but the wind that blew last night told me that everything was peaceful and nothing happened, so I fell asleep again."

Matthew and Lao Jitou looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Lorraine suddenly noticed a few dull figures behind Matthew.

"Hey, Matthew, why are there four more skeletons around you? Oh, and there are skeleton dogs!?"

Lorraine asked curiously:
"Are they your summons? The shape is really unique!"

Matthew smiled: "Before last night, they weren't."

As he spoke, he glanced at the data bar.

……

"Record: Your summoned soldier, A Bing, killed a plague messenger (LV10), and the "Element of Plague Domain: Fungus" +1.
Your summoned Bing kills a night dog, your XP+1.
Your summoned creature, Bing, is on a killing spree!Your communication speed with the soul of the rainforest has been improved! "

……

A series of more than a dozen killing records were displayed in front of Matthew, and the cold words silently showed the cruelty of the killing last night.

In fact, Matthew didn't wake up much earlier than Lorraine, because these enemies were all killed by Ah Bing near the den.

So he wasn't woken up either.

It is not difficult to see from the time of the battle records that, except for the first two plague messengers who were killed by A Bing in a sneak attack, the rest were killed by the knife dancer head-on.

The whole process only lasted 3 minutes.

A Bing wiped out the entire team consisting of the plague messenger and the night dog by himself!
The most important thing is that the fighting process was silent, even the most vigilant old Jitou did not respond, which shows the strength of the sword dancer.

What surprised Matthew even more.

After A Bing killed a wave of enemies, his communication speed with the soul of the rainforest increased a lot!

"Is killing the shortcut to gain the favor of the soul of the rainforest?"

Matthew secretly wrote it down.

At this time, Matthew was also pleased that A Bing had lived up to his training. The 15th-level sword dancer who had mastered the shadow field was not only capable of attacking and killing, but also had no less frontal combat ability.

In most cases, A Bing is already easier to use than Bone Dragon, and more importantly, it is cheaper!
Thinking of the bone dragon, Matthew hated his teeth. After the last battle against the epidemic, Xiao Bo turned around and rubbed him 3 soul crystals, and he hadn't given him the ability to share yet!

It's impossible to continue like this, Matthew decided to wait until he advanced, and he would bring A Bing and Xiao Bo to have a good talk.

Matthew's efficiency in soul crystals has not been high recently. As one of the many younger brothers, Xiaobo should be able to understand the appropriate salary cut.

If Xiaobo can't understand.

You have to help him understand.

"So, the Plague Lord's men raided our camp yesterday, and I didn't know anything about it?"

At this time, Lorraine stared innocently, and finally realized.

The old Jitou completely ignored Lorraine. He frowned for a while, and then said to Matthew:
"Did you provoke the Plague King? He is not a big shot, but there is a reason why he has survived until now. We must enter the rainforest as soon as possible. If you want to return to Zeshui City next time, you'd better disguise yourself and cover up your breath."

"It's not too late, let's go!"

……

The rainforest road is muddy and not easy to walk.

This is still the outskirts. A group of people wore Jango straw sandals and walked on the dirt road that people usually come and go. Even if they stop and go, it can be seen how difficult it will be to reach the depths of the rainforest.

This is why Matthew chose to summon skeletons instead of zombies after discovering the corpses of the plague messenger and night dog.

The skeleton is light, and its footsteps can barely keep up.

In the case of zombies, they might get stuck in the mud while walking, and they are destined to be dragged down.

Old Jitou is indeed an excellent guide.

Along the way, he sometimes walked at the forefront to identify directions and guide the route, and sometimes ran to the back to deal with the traces of a group of people.

During the period, he would also take the time to introduce some common sense about the rainforest. Both Matthew and Lorraine listened carefully——

It can be seen that after the "night watch incident" last night, the exaggerated temperament of the poet has subsided a lot, he hardly speaks, and only nods obediently when the old Jitou looks at him.

All the way calm.

at dusk.

They arrived at a tribe of Jango people called "Yuka" in the outskirts of the rainforest.

According to Lao Jitou, the leader of the Yuka tribe married the daughter of a nobleman from Zeshui City, so they have relatively close contact with the outside world.

Within the Jango tribe, the Yuka tribe is undoubtedly a moderate faction, and is even regarded as a traitor by the extreme headhunter tribe.

But despite this, Matthew and Lorraine still had no chance to enter the tribal settlement full of rainforest style.

Jango people are extremely defensive, even if they are moderates, they will not allow outsiders to enter as guests when they meet for the first time.

So only Lao Jitou was taken to the settlement by the enthusiasm of an aboriginal named Uka.

Matthew and Lorraine squatted under a huge banana tree outside the village and waited patiently.

Fortunately, the old Jitou is very efficient.

In a quarter of an hour, he led several young and middle-aged natives out of the settlement.

After calling Matthew and Lorraine, they headed east all the way for about two miles, and there was an open water in front of them.

This is the Rodin River, which runs through half of the rainforest, and is also considered the mother river by many Jango people.

There is a pier by the river, some aboriginal women are fetching water, doing laundry, and a few children are playing around.

Seeing outsiders coming, they all looked at Matthew and Lorraine with curious eyes.

At this time, Lorraine suddenly had an idea, and took out some glass beads and a small comb from the snakeskin pocket.

His method of distributing was very particular. He first handed it to the young and middle-aged men, and then approached the women and children under the eyes of the old Jitou.

……

"Reminder: Your partner Lorraine distributed gifts to the people of the Yuka tribe, and the friendship between you and the Yuka tribe +1"

……

Matthew was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that he would also be exposed. Feeling the slightly friendly eyes of those young and middle-aged men, and looking at Lorraine who quickly got along with the children, Matthew thought that the advantages of this rich man are indeed very prominent.

However, he soon noticed that when Lorraine and the child were fighting, their eyes always drifted towards the aboriginal women intentionally or unintentionally.

This gave Matthew a secret headache.

Fortunately, the old Jitou has been chatting with those young and middle-aged men in local language, and the latter have not noticed Lorraine's wanton gaze from the beginning to the end.

the end.

The old Jitou came over and pulled away the reluctant Lorraine:

"They said that you looked like a good person, so they were willing to lend us a hunting cabin for the night. I wanted to continue on my way, but the Rhoding River at night is indeed not as safe as during the day."

So the three of them rested for another night in the hut by the river.

The next morning.

Those young and middle-aged men came as promised. They came to a bush outside the hut, carried out four canoes of different sizes, and put them into the river from the pier one by one.

This kind of canoe is made by the Jango people by burning hollow tree cores. Because they seldom use old trees, they are of average width and can only accommodate one person.

The three of Matthew each sat on one, and the remaining big one was stacked with A Bing, four skeleton soldiers transformed from the plague messenger, and several skeleton dogs.

Thanks to the lightness of the skeleton, the undead would remain motionless under Matthew's order, otherwise the ship would have to capsize!

The group bid farewell to the Yuka tribe and went straight down the Rhodin River.

The waters of the early section of the Rhoding River are open, with a good view, and it is sunny and sunny, and the scenery along the way can be described as beautiful.

It was the first time for both Matthew and Lorraine to appreciate the rainforest from the perspective of riding a canoe. The latter was even more poetic and couldn't help but want to play the flute.

However, not long after.

After crossing a shoal with a gentle flow.

The river surface began to narrow, a large number of white reeds appeared on both sides, and the river became turbulent.

The two dared not neglect, and followed the old Jitou's instructions, balancing the canoe carefully.

After that, the speed increased significantly.

The scenery on both sides of the strait receded like flying.

Occasionally, a few Jangos with vigilant faces can be seen in the reeds.

But generally speaking, the voyage was smooth, except that Lorraine accidentally overturned the boat once because he was looking at the Jango women in the reeds. rocky beach.

According to Lao Jitou's introduction, the Luoding River diverted to the east and headed all the way to the endless ocean.

Near the mouth of the sea is the territory of the Naga, and even the Jangos are unwilling to operate there.

They disembarked on the gravel beach, and the rest of the journey would turn into a more strenuous walk.

It is worth mentioning that.

There are many alligators near the gravel beach.

These beasts made people nervous, but the old Jitou told the two that it didn't matter, just drag the canoe ashore.

The facts are exactly as he said.

When the distance was close, several alligators were close to Matthew's feet, but they never attacked.

After landing, they dragged the canoe to the nearby bushes according to the instructions of the old Jitou. The old Jitou made a few marks and told Matthew that people from the Yuka tribe would come to collect it.

"Why don't these crocodiles attack us? They look hungry."

Lorraine asked curiously.

"It's just a lesson learned for thousands of years."

The old Jitou said lightly:
"The Jango people are brave and good at fighting, and the adventurers who can go deep into the rainforest all have skills. These alligators are favored by the soul of the rainforest, so they are very smart. They know that all creatures that dare to attack humans are dead, so they choose Go on living, even if you're hungry."

"Come on, lads, there's still a long way to go."

After saying this, Lao Jitou pulled out the short knife stuck in his waist, and chopped off a banana leaf that was in the way.

In front.

On the humus made of fallen leaves and small insects.

A trail leading deep into the rainforest is faintly visible.

Just as Matthew was about to keep up, at this moment, his heart throbbed suddenly.

……
