Lord of the Nine Realms

Chapter 86: Jungle Sacrifice

For a person who is not afraid of death, Chen Yuansheng seems to have nothing to do.

He shook the dagger in his hand, and retracted the scabbard with caress: "Oh! In this broken world, life is not easy for everyone. I won't kill you, you go, leave after dawn, go wherever you want where."

The woman was silent for a moment: "Have you never thought of leaving me behind?"

Chen Yuansheng frowned. After thinking about it, he shook his head vigorously: "To be honest, your soul is too polluted. If I didn't have the special ability to purify the pollution, I would have fallen into your trap at this moment. I can withstand these things around me. Monsters may not be able to withstand it."

"How did it feel in the illusion just now?"

There was a strong charm in the woman's voice. Chen Yuansheng's heart trembled when he heard it, and he was so frightened that he quickly guarded his mind.

"It's very powerful. During the battle with the skeleton, I seemed to have learned some sword skills and techniques."

Chen Yuansheng only talked about the battle with the skeleton, and he directly omitted everything about Bai Yu's room: sin, sin, I have a wife, how can I think nonsense.

"This is one of the ways that undead warlocks train undead warriors."

The woman took a sip of water and continued: "The skeletons inside will become stronger and stronger. The higher the level of the challenge, the more generous the rewards will be. When this contaminated man dies, he will become the most loyal warrior of the necromancer... "

"Don't get me wrong, I've heard these theories too. Today I put them into practice for the first time and it actually failed."

Chen Yuansheng was extremely alert. He firmly believed that there was almost no man in this world who could resist the temptation of the "Illusion of the Undead".

"Where are you going? Do you have a goal?"

Chen Yuansheng asked, changing the topic.

The woman was silent for a moment and said softly: "I have no goal. I just want to find a remote mountain where I can survive and where there are few people."

"For people like me, who don't want to become a zombie-like necromancer, and don't want to be tortured to death by a strong human race, the best ending is to die alone."

Chen Yuansheng smiled: "How can you, a woman with no strength, live in the mountains?"

The woman sneered at herself: "Don't look down on women, do you know how many camels I killed in the desert? Three, not to mention ordinary beasts, even first- and second-level spiritual beasts will fall under my spell. Lose your mind."

"If you give me enough time, third-level spiritual beasts are not immune to contamination."

"Fortunately, I am a kind-hearted person, and I don't want to hurt those innocent monsters."

"Besides, I'm still a jungle priest. As long as I can survive for a year or so, self-sufficiency in food shouldn't be a big problem."

"Jungle ritual?"

Chen Yuansheng had heard about this profession from An Qi. Of course, what An Qi said was very superficial. She only said that jungle sacrifice was a profession unique to the Green Human race and that it seemed to be able to cultivate spiritual plants. Nothing else was said.

"Are you really a jungle priest?"

The woman continued to pour water and took another sip: "Why, is it weird? It's just that I can't touch the spiritual energy as I want now, but as long as I can survive it, I can still cultivate low-level spiritual plants by taking some time."

Now Chen Yuansheng was completely interested and said with excitement: "I don't need necromancers here, but jungle sacrifices are still very much needed. In the spiritual plant garden behind, I transplanted many endangered plants, many of which are spiritual plants. If you are willing to stay, how about helping me take care of the spiritual plant garden?" The woman in the shadow smiled and pointed to the two-meter-high broad-leaved Aquarius tree outside the window: "These are the spiritual plants you are talking about. As far as I know, this kind of tree lives on the edge of the southern desert, how did you get it?"

"If you ask me to take care of these trees, then I'm sorry, this priest can't do anything."

Chen Yuansheng patted his thigh: "It's not these trees... I don't know how to tell you. When it gets dark, I will take you to the Spiritual Plant Garden to see it, and you will understand."

The woman was silent for a moment: "Do you know about jungle priests? Do you know what this sacred profession does?"

Chen Yuansheng shook his head: "I've heard that the jungle priest can upgrade ordinary plants into spiritual plants. The more powerful the jungle priest is, the higher the upgraded spiritual plant will be."

"It seems that you have only heard a little bit."

The woman continued to drink water from the bowl and took a breath before saying: "Jungle priests are a sacred profession born by the green people during their thousands of years of life in the mountains and forests. They have a strong affinity for plants and can interact with plants through their perception of spiritual energy. comminicate."

Chen Yuansheng listened quietly like a primary school student. After all, he knew too little about the world.

"In the thousands of years of recorded history of the Green People, jungle rituals have played an irreplaceable role... Forget it, let's make a long story short."

The woman smiled bitterly, probably feeling that she wanted to say too much: "Historically, jungle rituals have developed in three directions: war, spiritual planting, and harvest."

"The boundaries between these three directions are not obvious and can be said to be interoperable, but a person's energy must be limited and it is impossible to develop in an all-round way."

"War-inclined jungle rituals are the most difficult to achieve. Only the top beings of the ethnic group who devote their whole life to doing it can become a war jungle ritual."

Chen Yuansheng asked curiously: "Is the War Jungle Sacrifice equivalent to a high-level warrior of the human race?"

The woman shook her head: "The war jungle priests are powerless. They spend their whole life cultivating plants that can participate in war, such as tree demons and vine demons."

"To achieve this goal, you must first make yourself a high-level priest, and then cultivate spiritual trees of the fifth or sixth order. Many priests have not been able to do it in their entire lives."

Chen Yuansheng nodded, probably understanding.

The woman continued: "This process is too difficult. In the thousands of years of history of the Green Human Race, there have been only about ten of them in total. Most of the war sacrifices have turned in the end, such as cultivating longevity wisteria, making artifacts of the Green Human Race, Longevity Bow; for example, cultivate high-temperature wood that can be forged iron, and sell it to alchemists; cultivate extremely tough rattan, and make warrior armor..."

Chen Yuansheng was deeply shocked after hearing this: It turns out that the jungle priest can do so many things, isn't that awesome?
"The second type is the jungle priests who tend to use spiritual plants. This is also the most common and most common type of sacrifice. They cultivate spiritual plants and then sell them to alchemists in exchange for a lot of gold coins. I am..."

"The third type is the jungle sacrifices that tend to have a good harvest. They cultivate high-yielding crops, such as grains, fruits, and oilweeds. In history, there have been many sacrifices that took pleasure in this. They cultivated and grafted a variety of plants, and some I don’t even know what to use it for.”

"But that's all history. Precisely because of these sacrifices, the Green Humans' food is very cheap, but how much can the food be sold for? So the harvest sacrifices gradually faded out of people's sight."

The woman smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Since the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dried up a hundred years ago, there has never been a high-level jungle priest. Even cultivating a low-level priest is very difficult. Therefore, the price of the green human tribe's spiritual grass is very high now."
