Space-time Traveler Chapter 57: Help 2
Wild hunting.
The legend of wild hunting in this world has existed for a long time.
But even Edson really met them for the first time. The strength of this group of ghost hunters was terrifying. Although the Ring of Nature successfully repelled them, it also paid a great price.
That's why the druid went all the way to the Freedom City to ask Suziyu for help.
Su Ziyu explained something to Alice before leaving.
Whether it's Ms. Enid or Van Tessin, this time is very busy, and he has no plans to involve the witcher and the sorcerers in this matter for the time being. However, Su Ziyu still left some information for Ms. Enid, because this lady had also tracked the trail of these ghost hunters.
The two left the free capital on horseback on the same day.
On the way, Edson told Su Ziyu in detail what happened. Soon after saving the unicorn, the druids were attacked by ghost hunters one night. They suddenly Appearing under the night sky, asking the Ring of Nature to surrender the unicorn, how could the druids agree, and then a fierce battle broke out.
The Ring of Nature is the home base of the druids. Those ghost hunters have no upper hand, so they can't withdraw before dawn.
The morning of the third day.
Suzi fish followed Edson to the vicinity of the Ring of Nature.
This is a piece of land close to the sea. The dense forest extends to the end of the mountains. The druids of the northern continent practiced here. They maintain good relations with some fishermen and islanders who live by the sea. .
"Your Excellency Sue. Please come with me." Edson led him to a large thorny bush.
Countless thorns are entangled together, like a closed door. With this druid chanting a few spells in a low voice, countless thorns begin to move, and they retreat little by little. A forest trail.
"The elders activated the defensive spells of the Circle of Nature."
Edson whispered: "The entire forest road is closed."
These thorns can only prevent people from entering from the ground, but they are useless to enemies who can fly in the sky.
"Who?" A cold female voice came, and then a woman with emerald green skin appeared on the tree pole in front. Her figure was quite slender and vigorous, her bare skin was smooth but strong, and she was wearing His clothes are relatively simple. They seem to be made of a mixture of fabric and leaves. The slender thighs are full of strength and the balance seems to be good. They can walk like flying on tree poles.
The beautiful woman opened her bow and aimed her arrow at the Suzi fish in front of her, her eyes were quite alert, but she was a little curious, as if she felt something aura.
"Vera! It's me!" Edson walked two steps forward.
He smiled a little apologetically at Su Ziyu, and said softly: "This is Vera. It's a dryad, she's a ranger in the Circle of Nature."
Su Ziyu looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with curiosity. Her appearance is comparable to that of female warlocks, but the color of her skin is very strange, a special emerald green color, which might be difficult if it is in the forest. Found her trail.
Before coming, Edson talked about some things about tree spirits in this world.
They are the aborigines of this world.
Is also the guardian of the forest.
But now the number of dryads is very small. Most of them are far away from human activities. The dryads on the northern continent are better, but the dryads on the southern continent are very hostile to humans because the expansion of humans oppresses them. Living space.
The tree spirit is a race with only women.
They are known as the daughters of the forest, and currently only live in a small part of the area. Dryads love forests, plants and nature, and hate those humans who enter their forests and cut down trees.
They will use humans or elves to multiply their offspring.
Those real tree spirits were born after their mothers had special "ritual" contacts with other races.
These children without exception all inherited the characteristics of their mothers, have emerald green skin like plants, and 100% will be girls, but their eyes and hair color may inherit their fathers.
The tree spirit is a very amazing race!
When I heard it for the first time, Su Ziyu was stunned for a while.
"It turned out to be Edson." The dryad ranger named Vera nodded slightly, put away his weapons and said: "You go in. Be careful. The animals in the forest are a bit grumpy recently."
Soon.
Her figure disappeared among the dense leaves, and even the Suzi fish could not find the other party's trail, and could only rely on vague perception to judge the direction.
This tree spirit has a very powerful stealth ability.
Edson took Su Ziyu all the way, and after walking a distance, he whispered: "Vera is a reincarnation. She may be quite wary of strangers, but you will find out after you get acquainted with her. In fact, he is a very good person."
Ritual contact is not the only way for tree spirits to multiply.
They also have a special transformation ritual, which can turn the girls in humans or elves into their own kind. It is a peculiar magic ritual that requires drinking some kind of magical spring water.
The reincarnation in Edson's mouth is such a tree spirit born.
The tree spirits are born with the ability to cast spells and can control the trees and vines in the forest, but most of the tree spirits rely on bows and arrows to fight, and only a few of the tree spirits have good spell casting abilities.
They have a very good relationship with the druids.
Edson said that every ten years the tree spirit will ask the druids for some people to carry out ritual reproduction, but the children born are owned by the tree spirit race, and they will raise these together. When the child grows up, the child grows up with the mother, and it is almost difficult to see the father again.
To some extent, what tree spirits need is just a tool man for reproduction.
Their civilization has no concept of marriage.
There are a large number of animals living in the circle of nature. They don't seem to be afraid of people. The scorpionfish even saw a black bear walking. It did not attack them, nor did it leave in fear.
"That's Crow." Edson whispered: "This is its territory."
It's amazing.
The druids seem to be animals that have domesticated the entire forest, allowing them to live in harmony in a special way. Edson told the scorpionfish that the animals here do not easily attack humans, only when they are hungry. hunting.
Soon.
A small town built in a dense forest appeared in front of him, and Su Ziyu saw the huge tree in the center that was several tens of meters high.
