The necromancer just wants to plant trees.

Chapter 68 Junliu Island and Naga
……

The domain field is a fixed, continuously emanating form of domain existence with a certain coverage.

It is similar to a magic circle. Once it is arranged, it only needs regular maintenance to be effective for a long time.

Matthew stood by the sea, quietly feeling the power of balance that seemed to be there.

"Someone has set up a field here, but it hasn't been maintained for a long time."

This is the message that perception is telling him.

At the same time, more information flooded into his mind.

The field of "Balance" is aimed at correcting the deflection of nature and coordinating the balance of elements. People who live here for a long time will also be repaired physically and mentally, and will be healthier and happier than living elsewhere.

Besides, what else does the domain field do?

Matthew couldn't sense it anymore.

For the time being, his domain cannot achieve a higher level of resonance with the domain field, and being able to grasp this fleeting moment is already a manifestation of his responsiveness.

……

"Hint: You have communicated with the domain field "Equilibrium" left by the Equalizer, and you have obtained the element of the "Equilibrium" domain: coordination.

Accumulate more elements, and you will get the chance to enter the balance field for the first time! "

……

This is not the first time Matthew has obtained elements, but unlike before, the acquisition of the "coordination" element directly triggered a change in the Tai Chi symbol——

Matthew saw that the two big commas "nature" and "immortal" sank for a certain distance, and a trace outlined by a dotted line appeared in the gap above. comma!

"balanced".

Matthew knew what it meant even without the words on it.

that moment.

He can feel that there is a force in the dark that has filled the last piece of the puzzle of the legendary Dao framework for him.

"Sure enough, immortality and nature are not so easy to master at the same time. Only by introducing a third-party balance can the legendary way be complete."

An unstoppable sense of satisfaction surged in Matthew's heart, as if a missing piece in his heart was suddenly filled.

That feeling is indescribably pleasant.

But he didn't dwell on that feeling for long.

Because in reality.

It's time to say goodbye to a trio traveling through the rainforest.

"In front is the "Night Breeze Wharf", where you can recruit boatmen and go to any island in the Arune Sea. "

"I will stay in the forest near here for 15 days. If I don't wait for you within 15 days, I will return to the rainforest, and the rest of the journey can only be cherished by myself."

Finish these two sentences.

The old Jitou filled the bong with tobacco leaves contentedly, and stopped to watch the two leave.

"Thank you, you are the most reliable guide I have ever met."

Matthew thanked politely.

The old Jitou smiled:
"Have you seen many guides?"

Matthew said frankly:
"you are the first."

The old Jitou nodded:
"Then you're right."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, Lorraine also walked over stretching his waist:

"Dear Matthew, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk with you in the future."

The old Jitou looked at him curiously:
"From the attitude that came along this way, I thought you would keep stalking him until you succeeded."

Lorraine's eyes widened, and he said dissatisfiedly:

"Hey, old Jitou, what nonsense are you talking about, Matthew is my brother!"

"I'm not the type to point a gun at a brother!"

The old Jitou raised his hands in surrender.

"Then what is your real purpose of traveling through the rainforest?"

Matthew asked.

Lorraine beamed and said:

"Didn't you think so? I actually managed to deceive the old Jitou. I didn't travel through the rainforest to experience the women of the Jango tribe—heh, the women in the jungle certainly have a wild beauty, but I have a little cleanliness , could not accept their dirty bodies.

The reason why I am willing to come here through hardships is because a friend invited me to go to "Sanji Island" to play. He said that there are moderate Naga who are willing to have relationships with humans, sea elf young women, and stone elemental beauties.

You know, it is too dangerous to go to Sanji Island by boat from the sea, and it will pass through the territory of the Radical Naga.

So I deliberately thought of a genius plan, to reach the Arune Sea through the less dangerous rainforest, and then go all the way east to meet my friends at the agreed place, and then, it will be a good day for me to go out to sea! "

When Matthew heard the words, a strange expression appeared on his face:
"That friend of yours—have you ever met in real life?"

Lorraine shook his head decisively:

"No, we mainly communicate with each other through messengers. He has a good personality, is upright, and should not be bad in appearance."

Matthew couldn't help but ask:

"So, you believed everything he said unconditionally?"

Lorraine smiled, and he came over to give Matthew a big hug:

"Don't worry about me, Matthew, you know, I also believe in you unconditionally these days."

Matthew hesitated to speak, but in the end he stopped talking.

I just wish Lorraine a smooth journey, and it is best to sleep with more women of different races.

Recalling Lorraine's various performances along the way.

Matthew knew he wasn't the playboy he seemed to be.

Lorraine's true strength may be much higher than his own, and that's not counting the magic props in his hand!

It's really unnecessary to worry about this guy.

"Take care, Matthew, you just wait to hear the story of my return from the sea!"

Finally, Matthew waved Lorraine off.

Then he walked alone towards the evening wind pier in the west of the Gold Coast.

Right now.

There was a sudden twist of light behind Matthew.

The image of the knife dancer gradually emerged.

"What's the matter? The number of sudden departures recently is much more frequent than before."

Matthew looked back at A Bing.

The latter did not speak, but just took out a long string from the cloak.

Matthew took a closer look, but saw that there were one flying squirrel after another on the skewer!
They were trapped together by A Bing like zongzi.

Seeing Matthew at this time, the little flying squirrels looked at him tearfully, as if they were begging him to let him go.

"You mean, they're watching me?"

Through the wave of thoughts of summoning the contract, Matthew barely understood what A Bing meant.

A Bing nodded.

The little flying squirrels panicked immediately, they kept wagging their tails and begging for mercy, their big eyes were teary, and just watching them made people feel soft.

When Matthew rolled his eyes, he immediately guessed that these little flying squirrels were Su Ya's eyeliner.

But now that he had left the rainforest, it was very difficult for Su Ya to monitor him, and he didn't have to worry about these small animals.

So he said to Ah Bing:
"Put them back in the rainforest."

A Bing nodded blankly.

The next second, with a flick of his wrist, the knots on the rope shook off one after another, and the little flying squirrels fell to the ground like laying eggs.

After landing, most of them fled in a hurry, and disappeared in the rainforest in a short while.

At this moment, Matthew suddenly found a little flying squirrel standing in front of him tremblingly.

It only uses its hind legs for support, its front paws are tucked into its chest, and its eyes are a little frightened.

"Huh? Is that you?"

Matthew recognized it.

Isn't this the little flying squirrel who seemed to have been beaten up a few days ago with a bruised nose and a swollen face?
It also offered berries to Matthew in the bushes.

At this time, most of the injuries on Momonga's face have healed, but the eye sockets are still slightly swollen, making the eyes look bigger.

"Why don't you go with your companion?"

Matthew bent down and asked patiently.

Little Momonga said:
"Lord Su Ya doesn't treat us little flying squirrels as human beings at all!

No matter how good our job is, she always punches and kicks us!
I can't live a day like that anymore, I don't want to be in the dreamland of the black banyan tree anymore.

I want to follow you, Lord Matthew, please give me a chance! "

Matthew looked at it playfully:
"why me?"

Little Momonga boldly said:
"Because only you have the hope of conquering Master Suya! I hope that one day, when you really do that, you can let me, a servant, take a share of the pie!"

Matthew was amazed at the ambition of this little flying squirrel:
"What do you want to do to Su Ya?"

Little Momonga immediately smirked:
"I'm going to kick her, hard!"

Matthew looked at it with great interest. He realized that this little flying squirrel was different, so he asked again:
"What's your name?"

Little Flying Squirrel said: "I don't have a name, and neither do my more than 3000 compatriots. Usually, Master Su Ya can't tell who we are, and she will only be very rude. I'm a woman, I want to defect! Please accept me!"

Matthew wanted to agree, but considering Su Ya's cunning, he became more thoughtful.

"If you want to follow me, it's not impossible. I need you to prove your loyalty to me—how do I know that you betrayed Su Ya today and won't betray me tomorrow?"

Matthew asked.

"It's simple. Aren't you a mage? You can cast a curse on me. If I betray you, I will be smashed to pieces!"

Little Flying Squirrel said sadly: "Actually, I also suggested that Lord Su Ya cast such a spell on us, but she is not even interested in casting a spell on us, damn it! How despised our little Flying Squirrel, I must be ruthless!" Take revenge on that woman!"

Matthew thought for a moment with his hands on his chin:
"It's not necessary to cast a curse, but you still need to conduct a small assessment:

I hope you can return to Suya's side now, as if nothing happened, didn't she want you to monitor my every move?

I want you to monitor her every move for me.

After a while, I will pass through the rain forest. If your performance satisfies me, I will consider taking you away. "

Little Momonga thought for a while:

"It's okay, but how should I pass the information to you?"

"Don't worry, write it down first. When I return to the rainforest, you can find an opportunity to pretend to be captured by mistake, and then report to me the information of these days at once."

Matthew encouraged:
"If you really do a good job, then I won't be stingy in fulfilling my promise."

Little Flying Squirrel suddenly became excited, and then he looked distressed again.

"what happened?"

Matthew noticed this.

Little Flying Squirrel said: "I myself have a chance to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, but I still have many brothers. If I escape alone, and they are still sinking under the violent rule of that bad woman, I will be very sad."

Matthew said he couldn't help it.

He can pry a corner of Rainforest Soul, but not a lot.

Otherwise, Su Ya would be really annoyed, and he would never be able to enter this rainforest again in this life.

"Sorry for embarrassing you."

Little Momonga was depressed for a while, but he cheered up again:
"I'm going back to Lord Suya's side right now, and monitor her every move. But before I leave, I have one last request - can you give me a name? I don't want to spend my days in a daze like other little flying squirrels .”

Matthew said quickly:
"That's easy, since you are a little flying squirrel, let's call it "Fly"! "

"Okay! Although I think this name is ordinary, I think it is because my level is too low to appreciate it. After all, I am just a little flying mouse who has never seen the world. From now on, Ah Fei will be me. I am Hooligan, no one can confuse me with other little flying squirrels!"

Ah Fei cheered for a while, then solemnly stretched out his front paws to Matthew.

"Lagou, I learned it from you humans."

Ah Fei said seriously.

Matthew smiled and stretched out his little finger to hook it.

After that, Ah Fei bowed respectfully, and ran into the rainforest without stopping.

"This little flying squirrel is really interesting."

When he came back to his senses, Matthew looked at A Bing:

"So where did you get this rope?"

A Bing looked dazed, and subconsciously began to twist his legs.

Matthew had to look up the data column as he walked.

Finally, he found a message record from a few days ago.

……

"Hint: Your summoned object, Bing, has used the ability of Rope Master.

He squeezed out a strong rope by peeling the bark and kneading it.

Your summon, Bing, feels great satisfaction! "

……

Rope Master?

Is this ability actually serious?

Matthew was slightly taken aback.

Recalling the scene of those little flying squirrels being strung tightly, he suddenly realized that he should also prepare a magic rope for Ah Bing!

"This ability may not be as dishonest as it appears on the surface."

Thinking room.

The mottled gray lighthouse ahead of the shoreline was within reach.

There is a small pier on the east side of the lighthouse.

At this time, only two sparse figures, one old and one young, could be seen on the pier.

Matthew walked over quickly.

……

Evening Wharf.

Under a row of lush palm trees.

The old man was resting with his eight or nine-year-old child.

Both of them have black hair, black eyes, and dark skin, but it can be seen that they were tanned by the abundant sunshine on the Gold Coast, and their skin tone is still yellow.

These are typical characteristics of the Sioux.

"Hello."

Matthew greeted from a distance:

"Is it convenient to take a boat? I want to go to Junliu Island."

The kid looked at Matthew curiously.

The old man slowly stood up from under the tree. While putting on a straw hat for himself, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Matthew:

"Junliu Island doesn't welcome outsiders."

Matthew explained:
"I have a friend who is a distinguished guest of Junliu Island. I have his introduction letter. He is a monk and should be well-known in this area."

Before the old man could speak, the child said first:

"Does the monk you mentioned like to talk nonsense, and always like to go to the sea to catch sea turtles to eat?"

Talking nonsense is somewhat similar, but where does it start with catching sea turtles and eating them?
Matthew can only test the authenticity:

"Li Weiqi?"

"Yes! It's him!"

The child said unhappily:
"I heard that he ate all the sea turtles on Junliu Island alone! Do you know how outrageous he was back then, a monk..."

The old man came and interrupted him, and said to Matthew:

"Li Weiqi is indeed a distinguished guest of Junliu Island, but the current Junliu Island is probably very different from when he was there. If you insist on going, we can take you a ride."

Matthew nodded.

"The fee is 1 gold coin, and the shipping fee is paid in advance, and no credit is accepted."

said the old man.

Matthew asked while taking out the money:

"Can Gold Coast also use gold coins from the Hundred Cities Alliance?"

The old man nodded and said:
"OK."

He took the money, took out a very short flute from his waist, put it to his lips and played it silently for a while, then put it away again.

"Hold on."

Perhaps in order to relieve boredom, the old man continued following the topic just now:

"There are many small city-states on the coast of the Arun Inner Sea. Most of the civilizations of these city-states came from the north. Some city-states here are very rich, while others are relatively poor, but they are all under the influence of the Hundred Cities Alliance. within the range of radiation."

"In fact, if you walk around the Gold Coast, you will find that other places are no different from Baicheng except for some unique local customs."

Matthew asked curiously:

"How many city-states are there on the Gold Coast?"

The old man pondered:
"It's hard to tell. There are fewer on the north bank, but the south bank is very prosperous. There are at least a dozen city-states worthy of the name.

Among them, the Torch City where the "Golden Lord" is located is the most famous, and other small city-states also have their own characteristics.

However, the south bank seems to be not very peaceful recently. If you have a travel mentality, it is safer to be on the north bank——

The premise is don't go into the rainforest, don't mess with the Jangos and their Feathered Serpents, they're a bunch of lunatics! "

Matthew noticed that the old man's words were full of resentment towards the Jangos.

He just wanted to ask more.

At this moment, but heard the child standing on the edge of the pier waving towards this side and shouting:

"The boat is coming! The boat is coming!"

Matthew looked up, but saw a white line between the sea and the sky rushing towards him. When he got close, he realized that the turtle hidden in the white waves was actually a turtle the size of a basketball court in his previous life!
"Come on, young man."

The old man motioned for Matthew to follow:

"Xuan Kunzi will take us to Junliu Island."

Under the guidance of the old man.

Matthew tried to walk on the turtle's back from the pier, but when passing by the edge of the turtle's shell, Matthew's foot slipped——

Fortunately, A Bing was right behind him, so he stepped on A Bing's face and climbed up smoothly.

"Be careful."

At this time, a gentle voice sounded in his ear:

"Recently, many strange creatures have grown on my body. Although Old Ali and Little Stone helped to remove them, there will always be some slippery mucus left behind."

Its voice is very pleasant, but the only disadvantage is that the speaking speed is very slow, and the listener can hardly catch his breath.

Matthew knew that it was the turtle under his feet who was talking, so he responded curiously:

"You are Xuan Kunzi?"

"Yes, this is the name my master gave me. Oh, he said it's a Dao name. Unfortunately, I'm not very enlightened, and I haven't achieved much, so he didn't take me with him when he left."

Turtle said gently:

"However, I'm not interested in the things he said about heaven and earth, balance, etc. Being able to sleep in warm sea water every day is the happiest thing in my life."

Matthew asked:
"Your master is the balance messenger?"

Xuan Kunzi replied:

"Yes, but I haven't seen him for 30 years. Maybe he returned to the east, the land he has always been thinking about; maybe he died in the depths of the sea, like other Sioux."

"Sometimes I feel that the Sioux's obsession with their homeland is actually a curse. What do you think, old Ali?"

Old Ali was silent.

After a while, he said:

"When I am older, I will go to the sea, just like my compatriots, whether it is a curse or not, I only know that this is not my destination, and it will never be!"

talking room.

The turtle slowly left the pier and swam towards the depths of the Arune Sea.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the sea and sky were blue.

A few small islands dotted here and there can be faintly seen on the sea ahead.

The milky white sand reflects the bright light in the sun.

A tall coconut tree grows in the center of Xuan Kunzi's tortoise shell.

A group of people are sitting under the coconut tree to enjoy the shade at the moment.

Matthew chatted with Xuan Kunzi and old Ali, but the boy named Xiaoshi was curiously circling A Bing.

A Bing, who has always been dull, seemed very patient at this time.

He played with Xiao Shitou for a while, then suddenly disappeared in place.

"Wow!"

Xiaoshi let out a cry of surprise, attracting everyone's attention.

next second.

Ah Bing reappeared with a big coconut in his hand.

"Do I have coconuts all over my back?"

Xuan Kunzi exclaimed:

"Speaking of which, my master is really unreliable. He actually planted a coconut tree on my back for the convenience of riding me to enjoy the shade. God is so pitiful, who would plant a tree on his student!?"

Everyone laughed for a while.

A Bing cut the coconut with a short knife in front of the small stone.

Then handed it to him.

"No, I can't."

The little stone looked a little cautious:
"My grandfather said that you can't ask for things from guests."

A Bing was in a daze, and only knew how to send the opened coconut forward.

Matthew is ready to rescue him.

However, at this moment, Xuan Kunzi's voice sounded, with a hint of bad tone:

"I think we may not be able to go to Junliu Island today."

Old Ali asked back:

"Are you going to be lazy again, Xuan Kunzi? You haven't reached the standard amount of exercise this month. You said it yourself."

Xuan Kunzi said slowly:
"No, not me."

"It's Naga."

Matthew stood up immediately.

But on the sea ahead, there are layers of white waves standing majestic and mighty.

Above each layer of white waves, there is a Naga holding a weapon!

"Recently the Naga are very restless and have been patrolling everywhere on the sea. I will try to see if I can speed up and get rid of them!"

Xuan Kunzi said hard.

However 5 minutes later.

The turtle was surrounded by a group of Naga warriors.

"Hey, if I hadn't been lazy and learned a few more "Taoist arts" when I was in class with Master, I wouldn't be caught up by Naga now. "

Xuan Kunzi sighed deeply:
"At this point, we can only surrender. I hope they can arrange a more comfortable sea prison for me."

talking room.

A little boss who was taller than the usual Naga approached:

"You guys, where are you from? Where are you going?"

"Quick answer!"
