Chapter 235 The Birth of Elemental Wheat
Finally.
After Rhode's instructions, the dragon army set out and began to clean up the Elemental Holy Mountain area.
As for the seventh-level black beasts, for safety reasons, they would wait until Augla and the others came back before dealing with them together, so the main cleaning target this time was only the outer area of the Holy Mountain.
But even so, the huge movement still made the residents in the nearby city look up and look in the direction of the Holy Mountain.
"What happened over there?"
"Why does it seem like there is a dragon roar?"
On the street, several teams that had just arrived were puzzled. They seemed to have heard a dragon roar just now, and more than one.
"What's the fuss? Those are the dragons serving the city lord."
The guard leading the way in front curled his lips and looked at them as if they were country bumpkins.
"Dragon clan?"
Everyone in the team was shocked when they heard this.
How could the city lord of this dream city have the legendary dragon clan serving him?
Just as they were confused, another escort team hurried over from a distance and shouted to their leader.
"Sixth Brother, hurry up, the boss is gathering people and preparing to go over there to clear out the black beasts. There are contribution points for residents!"
"What! There are contribution points?!"
The sixth brother who led the way jumped up instantly. He didn't have the heart to introduce it anymore. He said a few words to the team behind him and ran out of the city in a hurry.
From a distance, you can still hear their excited discussions.
"Great, my contribution points should be enough to exchange for a third-level magic cannon this time."
"I plan to exchange for a larger piece of land."
"I heard that a lot of new grain seeds have been released recently, just in time..."
The voice gradually faded away, leaving only the confused team members, who had no idea what was going on.
Then before they had walked far, they saw an extremely spectacular scene.
A large number of powerful adventurers flocked in and also gathered in the direction of the Holy Mountain of Elements, their eyes full of eagerness.
"Hurry, hurry! I heard that the best performers in this cleanup operation will be given resident status!"
"Haha, I've waited for so long, and finally there's a new quota. Don't compete with me this time!"
"Brothers, let's go. My wife said she won't marry me without resident status. Give me a chance!"
Looking at the large group of people running from a distance and passing by, the expressions of these foreign teams became even more confused.
What happened to make these people so anxious? Many of them even reached the fifth level, just like vicious dogs pouncing on their food.
Some of them were big guys in the base they stayed in before.
"What's wrong with them?"
One of them couldn't help asking.
"I seem to hear them talking about resident status."
"It's just a resident status. Is it necessary to be so excited?"
They really couldn't understand the behavior of these people.
Those low-level ones are fine, even the fifth-level big guys are so crazy, and those who don't know would think they are hallucinating.
And the entire city area has become in full swing because of the cleanup operation of the Elemental Holy Mountain.
When those people received the news and arrived at the Holy Mountain area, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.
Dragons.
Dragons flying all over the sky!
The sky above the entire outer area was full of dragons of different colors, and any one of them exuded a terrifying aura.
"How can there be so many dragons?!"
"There are at least hundreds of them in total!"
"Level 6, many of them are level 6!"
"Is this the true strength of the Dream City?"
Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at the huge monsters, shocked to the extreme.
They always thought that there were only a few dragons in the Death Forest, but they didn't expect that there were so many hidden here!
Such a force is more than enough to sweep across the entire black soil, making the safety factor of the Dream City soar in their hearts.
"No, I'll get the residency qualification this time!"
"What the hell is going back to the base? Get the qualification now!"
"Go tell the clan leader that I'm not going back!"
"Black beasts, quickly clear the team! Some brave men who don't care about their lives!"
For a while, the enthusiasm of the crowd was unprecedentedly high, and they formed teams and joined the cleanup.
With their joining, the whole process became much smoother, and the black beasts in the outer area began to be cleared in an orderly manner, and the deeper areas were under the responsibility of the dragon army.
Because it is the holy land of the dragon clan, even if it is polluted now, not everyone can enter casually.
...
"Okay, it should be fine."
On the altar, Rhodes looked at the lively scene in the distance, and finally felt relieved and continued to do his own things.
These days, because he had to go to various planes to develop believers, he was almost running around without touching the ground, and he had no time to take care of the forest.
Fortunately, there are war giant trees in the forest, and the dark elves are watching over them, so the seeds planted before are still growing well.
The only problem now is that after he reached level 4, the experience of ordinary crops has obviously decreased a lot, and the upgrade speed has slowed down.
After all, there are half of the food of the Druid Forest planted outside, and basically a batch of food will mature every once in a while.
But even so, he has only upgraded from level 40 to level 42 in these days.
"The Baihua fruit has given me a lot of experience, but unfortunately the germination rate is too low, and the elves have to take special care of it, so it can't be planted on a large scale."
While Rhodes was thinking, he left the altar and came outside.
At this moment, various plants have been planted around the altar, which looks lush and green, like a garden in full bloom.
Nature elves flapped their little wings and flew back and forth, watering the plants underneath, and laughter echoed everywhere.
From time to time, you can see the spirits of nature traveling through the forest, playing and playing, and there is a harmonious scene everywhere.
After walking through the planting area and coming outside, I heard a faint discussion. The giant war tree and the elves seemed to be discussing what crops to plant in the newly opened land.
Because the outermost land was expanded after Rhodes advanced to the fourth level, the forest area also changed from the original five kilometers to six kilometers.
In such a large area, it is a problem to plant something.
Seeing him coming, the tree spirit said: "Sir Rhodes, I think the wheat and other crops planted now are enough to provide seeds for the outside world. There is no need to plant more."
The elves also followed up and said: "Aren't we going to take back the Holy Mountain of Elements area? My suggestion is to plant some crops that are suitable for the environment there, so that when they finish, we will almost have a harvest."
Are crops suitable for the Elemental Sacred Mountain area?
That's not a bad idea.
Rhodes, who was still thinking about what high-experience crops to get, his eyes gradually brightened and asked: "Then do you have any good recommendations?"
"Uh... I haven't thought of that yet."
"We don't seem to have such crops over there... Do you want me to go back and report to Her Majesty the Queen to help look for it?"
"Forget it." Rhodes waved his hand, "I'll figure it out. You guys reclaim the land first."
"Okay, let's arrange the manpower right now."
After saying that, the dryads and elves began to move.
Rhodes frowned, looking thoughtful.
It is suitable for survival in the elemental environment and can be planted on a large scale. The survival rate must be high, the growth cycle must be short, and it must be edible food. Crops that meet these conditions are difficult to find, and may not even be available.
Unless he can make it himself.
"Huh? Create it?"
Suddenly, Rhodes stopped.
That’s right, since there is no such thing, I can just make it!
After thinking about this, he left happily and came to the open space of his experimental base. He took out a bunch of different crop samples and materials and placed them in front of him.
"It's you!"
After scanning around, I directly selected a wheat plant that was about to mature, and put it together with a piece of flame crystal.
Then he raised his arm slightly, and a grafting magic lit up, covering the two things in front of him.
When the light dissipated, the wheat rhizome merged with the flame crystal, as if growing on the crystal.
Even the wheat on the straw turned red, like a burning torch.
"It's done!"
Rhodes was overjoyed.
Peeling open a piece of wheat and looking inside, the red wheat has more flames than before, and the life energy is much richer, many times higher than that of ordinary wheat.
After checking it, he hurriedly planted the new type of wheat into the ground, which meant burying the crystal under the rhizome, and then began to cast cultivation magic on it.
As the breath of life continued to blend into the ground, several messages popped up in front of him.
[Successful cultivation, experience value +2]
…
[Successful cultivation, experience value +2]
…
[Wheat is mature, experience value +4]
4 o'clock!
Rhodes was inexplicably surprised when he saw the experience information that popped up after the wheat matured.
You must know that now that ordinary wheat is mature, it only gives him 1 point of experience, and it is also with the blessing of double experience.
Now the grafted wheat is directly given 4 points, which is a full four times!
Rhodes couldn't imagine how quickly his level would rise if he planted this kind of wheat in large quantities.
Sure enough, the fourth-level professional magic is different. He still underestimates this grafting ability.
Immediately pick a handful of wheat and put it into your mouth, tasting it carefully.
"Hmm... the flame energy is a bit thin. Does it need an environment with the same attributes?"
Looking at the slightly red wheat, Rhodes immediately got up and went to Alpha's lair.
This place has been transformed by Alpha. There are flame crystals everywhere, and the fire energy is very rich.
After selecting a location, he followed the same method and planted a flame wheat that was about to mature, and then cultivated it to ripen.
[When wheat matures, experience value +5]
really!
Seeing that the experience increased by 1 point, Rhodes knew that his guess was right.
This kind of grafted elemental wheat is easier to plant and grow in the corresponding elemental environment, and it is most suitable to plant it on the Elemental Sacred Mountain.
After coming to this conclusion, he didn't waste any more time, found wheat and elemental crystals of various series, and grafted elemental wheat with different attributes.
And asked the remaining dragon to go outside and get a pile of elemental ores back, and pile them next to the newly reclaimed open space outside.
"Lord Rhodes, what are you going to do?"
The dryads and elves all gathered around.
"You guys, crush these elemental ores and mix them into the soil. You'll find out later." After Rhodes ordered, he sat down and started making grafted wheat.
"This is easy, just leave it to us."
The tree spirits seemed to understand, but they still mixed the elemental ore into the soil according to his instructions, and each attribute had its own area, which made the elemental breath of the land become rich.
When they finished their work and looked at Rhodes, they found that there was a large area of half-ripe wheat plants around him, and the colors were different, red, blue, yellow, green and all kinds of colors.
"These wheats actually contain elemental breath!"
The tree spirits and elves were shocked, and even the dragons who helped to carry the elemental ore looked like they had seen a ghost.
Because they found that the wheat actually grew on the stone!
"Is this the crop you said you would plant on the holy mountain?"
"Yes, you plant them according to the attributes first. When the first batch of seeds is harvested, the cleaning over there should be almost complete."
"Let's help too!"
The dragons on the side were almost drooling at the wheat. Foods with attributes are a great tonic for them.
And it sounds like they are going to plant it next to their holy mountain. When the yield increases, they can eat it anytime. How can they not be tempted?
They immediately came over to help knock the stones. Those who have learned shapeshifting from the druids directly transformed into half-dragons and joined the planting queue.
Even the elemental elves came over to help water and fertilize. The entire periphery of the forest was bustling with activity.
