Chapter 236 The Secret of Moon Lake
[Level improvement, lv42 → lv43]
…
The cultivation of elemental wheat went very smoothly.
In just two days, Rhodes had already harvested the first batch of seeds and was promoted to a level.
"Not bad, not bad. One more round of sowing should be enough for the outer areas of the Holy Mountain."
Rhodes looked at the wheat fields of different colors and was very satisfied.
He also didn't expect that the quality of wheat grafted with elemental crystals would improve so much, almost catching up with Baihuaguo.
You must know that the flower fruit is a rare plant of the elves, and it is several levels higher than ordinary crops.
Now that he has such experience and a high-yielding crop, he should be able to protect himself within half a year.
“Let’s try to get some other varieties of grafted crops.”
After a round of inspection, Rhodes returned to the open space and continued to study grafted varieties such as cabbage, soybeans and sweet potatoes.
It was not until noon that a wind dragon suddenly flew back from the direction of the Holy Mountain of Elements.
"Lord Rhodes, we have eliminated the seventh-level black beast in Moon Lake. The clan leader asked if you would like to go over and take a look."
"Did it get cleared so quickly? Are there any casualties?"
Rhodes stopped what he was doing and was surprised.
It had only been less than three days, and the team sent out had already advanced to Moon Lake. It was feared that the entire Holy Mountain area would be cleared in another two days.
"There were no casualties. Chief Alpha and the others came over this morning to help. They easily dealt with the two black beasts. They said there seemed to be something hidden in Moon Lake, so they asked me to come back and ask."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and take a look!"
When he regained the Dragon God's Mark before, Rhodes felt that something was not right about the two seventh-level water dragon black beasts, as if they were guarding something, which was why they escaped so easily.
Now that the black beast has been eliminated, it is natural to go and have a look.
So soon, he sat on the back of the wind dragon and flew away from the altar, rushing towards the Holy Mountain of Elements.
When they arrived at the edge of the Moon Pool, they happened to see the members of the Shuilong clan gathered around the two black beast corpses transformed by the Shuilong elders, mourning and seeing them off.
Because Moon Lake has always been guarded by their water dragons, when the forest land was polluted, it was these two elders who stayed behind to give them time to escape.
Now that they have returned again, the two elders have become like this, causing a group of giant water dragons to roar to the sky, and their voices echoed over Moon Lake for a long time.
It's like saying goodbye to the departed soul.
Rhodes did not bother them, but came to Alpha and Fatty, and saw the horrific wounds on their bodies at a glance.
There were even many large pits and claw marks on the lakeside, and even the water in the lake had evaporated a lot. It was obvious that this battle was not easy.
"Take this for healing first."
Rhodes took out two bottles of Moon Spring and handed them to them respectively.
"Thank you Lord Rhodes."
Alpha and Fatty didn't refuse. They took the Moon Spring and drank it in one gulp. The wounds on their bodies began to heal at a speed that was noticeable to the naked eye.
When he was fully recovered, Alpha finally let out a sigh of relief.
"The elder is worthy of being an elder. Even if he turns into a black beast, his fighting power is very terrifying."
"Yes, they are guardians worthy of admiration!"
Even the fat man, who had always been carefree, looked serious.
"You are right. When I return this time, I will replace the Moon God and reward the Water Dragon Clan." Rhodes nodded in agreement.
At least in terms of loyalty, the dragon clan really has nothing to say and will guard the forest until death.
Then, he looked towards the middle of the lake: "You said they were guarding something, do you know what it is?"
"You'll know when you go over and take a look."
Alpha motioned for him to sit on his back, then took off in a roaring wind, and in a blink of an eye he was above the dragon statue in the middle of the lake.
As the water level dropped, the platform where the statue's base was located emerged from the water, revealing a small crescent-shaped platform.
There is a groove on the top of the table, which is surrounded by an alternating black and green barrier. It is difficult to see what is inside.
But since the water dragon elder was turned into something that the black beasts were guarding, and it could be preserved in the polluted lake for such a long time, it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
"Have you tried opening the barrier?"
Landing on the platform, Rhodes asked.
"I tried it, but it won't open."
Alpha and Fatty shook their heads together.
Rhodes was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't even open the seventh level. What level was this barrier?
Thinking of this, he came to the stage and looked around.
The barrier above is very strange, black and green intertwined with each other, a bit like the sky of Dreamland Woodland.
He stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, and a circle of ripples spread out on the barrier, a bit like a bubble, but it did not break.
"Huh?"
Rhodes let out a sigh, and he discovered that at this time, a circle of ripples appeared in the sky of the Dreamland Woodland. It was not very obvious, but it was exactly the same as the barrier in front of him.
Could it be that...
Is this thing somehow related to the Dream Grove?
"It's actually a barrier built based on the entire Dreamland Forest!"
Alpha also noticed the changes in the sky, and raised his huge dragon head in surprise.
When the fat man heard this, he smacked his lips: "No wonder even we can't break the barrier. I'm afraid it was set up by Lord Moon God himself!"
"Instituted by the Moon God?"
Rhodes was shocked. Only the Moon God could mobilize the power of the entire Dream Forest.
So this thing was put here by the Moon God before the disaster happened?
What kind of thing can make a main god take it so seriously?
"I remembered!"
Suddenly, Alpha's eyes widened: "Three hundred and twenty-five years ago, Lord Moon God did visit Moon Lake once. He just came back from outside at that time and seemed to have given something to Dragon God. Could it be because of this? "
"Three hundred and twenty-five years ago?"
Rhodes was stunned. This number turned out to be the same as his age in his previous life. What a coincidence.
"Did Moon Goddess say anything at that time?"
"I don't know." Alpha shook his head. "Lord Luna was walking in a hurry at that time. He left shortly after arriving. We only dared to watch from a distance."
"so……"
Rhodes looked at the barrier and thought about it in his heart.
Three hundred and twenty-five years ago, before the disaster happened, the Moon God was still in the forest.
If this thing was really put down at that time, and it seemed so important, why wasn't it taken away later?
Even if the Moon God couldn't get out in time, the Dragon God should still have time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bring the surviving tribesmen to the Kingdom of Sky.
Unless even the Dragon God can't open this barrier.
"Look at the colors here, do they look like the two divine powers of Lord Moon God?" the fat man suddenly said.
"Don't tell me, it looks similar. Could it be the key to opening the barrier?" Alpha said, looking at Rhodes who was standing aside.
Rhodes naturally understood what he meant, and without saying anything, he directly stretched out his hand, and two forces, one black and one green, slowly merged into the barrier.
The next second.
Something strange happened.
The originally chaotic and entangled barrier quickly separated and turned into half black and half green, like two unrelated hemispheres.
Immediately afterwards, the place where the two met split open and slowly fell towards both sides.
"It's really open!"
Alpha and Fatty's eyes widened, staring closely at the inside of the barrier, wanting to know what could make the Moon God pay so much attention to it.
However.
When they saw it clearly, they were all stunned.
"What's this?"
"A ball?"
That’s right!
What appeared in front of them at this time was not something incredible, but an ordinary-looking, unpretentious transparent sphere, not even as big as an adult human's fist.
If there is anything special, it is that there are many white light spots inside the sphere, densely distributed throughout the sphere.
Especially the center position has the most light spots, which looks like a small vortex, which is quite delicate.
This reminded Rhodes of something from his previous life.
glass beads…
"That's it?"
Rhodes picked up the sphere and looked left and right. There was nothing else except this thing.
It even made him wonder whether the Dragon God was tricked by the Moon God at that time.
wrong.
Suddenly, Rhodes noticed something was wrong.
He actually couldn't see the information about this sphere.
That is to say.
Is this sphere conscious of life?
But it doesn’t look like it, does it?
Rhodes took the sphere in his hand and looked at it carefully. Alpha and two also transformed into half-dragon forms and came over to look at it.
After a while, they looked at each other in confusion, obviously not seeing any difference.
"It's such a serious matter. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be an ordinary thing."
Although their Lord Moon is a little... out-of-touch, he is not joking about such things.
"Is it because our level is too low to tell? For example, it's the seeds of a certain plant. Doesn't Lord Luna like to run around collecting seeds the most?"
"Seeds? It's really possible!"
Rhode's eyes lit up. Since there is life consciousness, it should also be a kind of life. Maybe it can be grown for him.
Anyway, he has seen all kinds of strange plants, such as the fruit of the sky, the mountain giant, the lantern tree, etc., which one seems normal?
Not one more is too much.
"Okay, let's go back and study it slowly."
Rhodes said, planning to put the sphere into the space ring.
As a result, as soon as I put it in, I felt a strong sense of repulsion. It couldn't fit even half an inch into the ring space, and it froze in place.
"What's wrong?"
Alpha asked in confusion, and Fatty also looked over.
"It's too strange. This thing can't be put into the space ring." Rhodes tried a few more times, but it was very difficult to even get close to it, let alone put it in.
"Can't it go in? I remember that space props can only be put in if they have a sense of life, right? This thing doesn't look like it has a sense of life."
Even seeds can be placed directly into the space ring before they sprout and grow into higher natural life forms.
And how can a seed be conscious?
If that's not the case, there's only one possibility.
The space contained in the things put in is higher than the space in the ring!
But this is just a sphere the size of a fist, and it doesn't look like a space prop.
How can the spatial level be higher than the ring?
