Chapter 392: The Oak Guard and the Inn in the Clouds
Translator: Lonelytree
As he spoke.
The centaur put down the spear in his hand and knelt on the ground with his forelimbs, his forehead touching the ground.
[Hint: You have obtained a follower, Centaur Tree Herder Obast!]
[Your race friendliness +1 (Centaur); ]
[Obast will reside in the oak forest. You need to prepare a tall treehouse for him to live in.]
[Your Oak Forest has obtained a characteristic: Small Animal Friend.]
[Small Animal Friend: Centaurs are naturally popular with all small animals. Attracted by Obast, a certain number of small animals will appear in your oak forest in the future.]
Obast’s request was easily satisfied.
Without needing Lulu and Matthew to do anything, he started to build the treehouse with spells.
Just as Obast was busy working.
The four awakened oak guards walked over.
Matthew noticed.
One of them was actually a cannibal tree!
The oak guard was an existence after the oak tree awakened its humanoid soul essence. They had the appearance of a treant, but they were far stronger than ordinary treants.
Matthew looked at it.
An ordinary oak guard had a total of six abilities.
[Catapults: As long as the oak guards are provided with stones of suitable sizes, they will be natural catapults.] [Range: 150 – 180 meters]
[Firing frequency: 1 shot every 30 seconds]
[Charged Sprint: The oak guard can take root in the same place. After charging for a period of time, it will charge at the enemy at a speed several times faster than normal.]
[The longer the charging time, the faster the speed. The fastest is three times the normal speed.]
[Malicious Bind: The oak guard can summon a large number of vines to entangle the enemy. This ability is regarded as ‘natural spellcasting’, and the spell effect is equivalent to the Tier 4 Mass Vine Spell.]
[Each oak guard can use this spell twice a day.]
[Weight Suppression: The oak guard can double its weight. When fighting in close combat with the enemy, it can use its weight advantage to crush the enemy.]
[Current average weight of oak guards: 1 ton.]
[After using this ability, it can reach a maximum of 2 tons.]
[Sighing Tree Wall: Two or more oak guards can connect their bodies to a tree wall.]
[The tree wall had a high amount of natural armour and at least 10% damage reduction.]
[The more oak guards that form the Sighing Tree Wall, the wider the range of the tree wall, and the more significant the reduction effect.]
[ Light Fairies’ Lair: Every oak guard has at least one Light Fairies’ Lair, and each Lair will have 10 – 50 Light Fairies active.]
[The light fairies could sow seeds, promote growth, and clean up pests.]
[They can also do some simple construction work, such as building treehouses and digging wells.]
It was a rather comprehensive set of abilities.
It could be used for long-range, close-combat, and defence. There was also a construction team living on it all year round, the spirit creature called the ‘
Fairy of Light.”
They looked like furry balls of light, and they felt like a sponge when touched.
They always liked to move in groups.
Light fairies lacked individual intelligence and could only accept orders in a collective manner.
They were not only the cheapest forest workers but also the ancestors of all spiritual creatures.
All the fairies, wood elves, night elves, and other high-level creatures in the world were all reincarnated from light fairies.
There was a legend among the fairies.
After a Light fairy had finished its long and hardworking life, its consciousness would be raised to the Reincarnation Pool in the forest and wait in line for reincarnation.
According to how hard the light fairies worked when they were alive, they would receive different evaluations and rewards.
A lazy Light fairy could only be transformed into a Little Fairy.
Hard-working light fairies could become great fairies or wood elves;
Only the most diligent Light Fairies could turn into Night Elves or Sea Elves after a lifetime of hard work.
And the laziest of the Light Fairies would turn into Drows.
This legend was very widespread, and even Matthew had heard a little about it. Perhaps it was because of this legend that most fairies of light worked so hard.
They were accumulating blessings for their next life.
The three normal oak guards were all Level 14.
And the giant tree guard that was transformed from the cannibal tree was actually level 16!
Obviously.
In the process of absorbing the power of the Forest Ocean.
It had mutated.
Not only did the cannibal tree guard have the strength of a normal guard, but it also had two additional abilities.
[Bloodthirsty Fever: After enjoying a sufficient amount of blood food, the
Cannibal Tree Guard’s Agility +1, Strength +1, and gains the Fever Halo.] [Fever Aura: Increases the attack speed of allies within the aura by 5%.]
[Duration: 60 minutes]
[Cooldown: 24 hours]
[Wall of Predators: The cannibal tree disguises itself as a wall of trees. It can blend into the wall of the sighing tree and wait for an opportunity to devour the enemy.]
In addition, Matthew also discovered that the Cannibal Tree Guard’s horizontal movement speed was much faster than the Oak Guard.
His appearance greatly enriched the Oak Guard’s defensive tactics.
It could also make up for the weakness of the oak guard’s slow movement speed.
He had to think of a way to teach this guy not to eat people.
As the master of the oak forest, the oak guards naturally took orders from Matthew. However, they were similar to the undead and could only carry out the simplest orders.
Deep communication was impossible.
Matthew and the cannibal tree guard had a friendly interaction..
