Chapter 7 The Eye of the Jungle and the Wind of the Oak Tree
…
"Wild Transformation: You have mastered the introductory skills of the shapeshifter. You can transform into an animal blessed by the wilderness without the need for spellcasting actions or chanting gestures.
You can choose one of the following animals as your wild form -
skunk;
raven;
Dugeron
…
Isn't wilderness transformation a unique skill of Druid?
Matthew was quite surprised.
This is probably another result of the two conflicting game systems.
finally.
Matthew chose "Raven" as his wilderness form.
This is out of consideration to make up for shortcomings.
All three animals are small beasts and do not occupy a high ecological niche in the food chain, so their combat capabilities are average.
…
Skunks are more agile.
In some more complicated mountains or woods, transforming into a skunk may help you escape, but other than that it has no other advantages.
Matthew would never turn into a skunk and milk himself for musk.
…
The Dougalong is a small dragon beast with a body similar to that of a hound.
It's just that the dragon bloodline in this little animal is weaker than that of the kobold.
Naturally, we can't talk about dragon power and magic.
Dugeron has a certain storage ability, and there is a natural dimensional space in its belly.
The size of the space is linked to the level of Dugeron.
The newborn Dugeron cub has one dimensional space, and there will be one more space for each subsequent level.
Each dimensional space is about the size of a medium-sized pumpkin and can store a lot of things.
If asked to choose an animal companion, Matthew would choose Dougalong without hesitation.
But this is wilderness transformation.
Turning it into a mobile storage space will make Matthew lose his sense of security.
…
Compared to the above two animals.
The advantages of Raven are self-evident——
That means it can fly!
And it’s very fast!
Matthew is worth the money simply for traveling or escaping, not to mention that Raven also has extremely good reconnaissance capabilities.
The only drawback of this animal is its thin blood.
The raven's health is only 1 point
Once discovered by an enemy with anti-air capabilities, it is easy to be knocked out of wilderness form.
"There is no perfect option..."
Matthew is quite satisfied with his new abilities.
in his impression.
Many powerful mages can become a raven.
This is a good sign.
He checked the taskbar.
The reward for "Wild Transformation" comes from "Subsequent Mission 2: Maintenance is also important!".
In addition to new abilities.
He also gained 200 XP points.
The task itself has not changed.
This means that this is a long-term, repeatable task like planting trees.
"As long as a threat appears and the defense is successful, you can get rewards? Can you artificially attract threats... so that you can get rewards repeatedly?"
Matthew just thought about this.
After all, he had no way of determining the system's judgment mode.
If you mess up, you will lose blood.
And on a character level.
In fact, Matthew doesn't like to fight and kill, or engage in any kind of sexy operation.
He prefers to plant trees slowly and defend passively.
It is enough to gain stable happiness.
…
"twitter!"
The oak fairies appeared.
They gathered around Matthew and sang high-pitched hymns, praising his heroic efforts to drive away the arsonist.
Goblins hate skeleton soldiers.
But they liked Matthew very much.
This may be the result of Matthew's extremely high natural affinity.
…
"You have been blessed by Fairy Princess Lulu!
You have gained a semi-permanent status: Eye of the Jungle!
You gain the semi-permanent status: Oak Wind!
…
Jungle Eyes: When you are in the jungle, your vision is greatly improved and you can see things behind you.
Oak Wind: When you take the initiative to get close to an oak tree, it will actively release the power of nature to heal your wounds and soothe your soul. Your mana recovery speed will also be greatly accelerated.
When the oak tree is inhabited by an oak fairy, the effect of the oak wind is doubled.
..."
…
Fairy princess?
Matthew looked curiously at the pile of goblins.
All I saw was a flickering shadow——
Lulu is very shy.
Matthew had only heard of her name from other fairies before, but had never seen her appearance.
Even tonight.
Lulu took the initiative to show up and give Matthew her blessing.
But Matthew couldn't see her face clearly either.
"Thanks."
Matthew expressed his gratitude towards the place where the white light disappeared.
"Jungle Eye" and "Oak Wind" are both very useful states.
The prefix 'semi-permanent' means as long as the fairy princess Lulu is still alive.
They will take effect.
According to Matthew's inference.
Lulu should have just been promoted to Fairy Princess.
She is still very young.
There is also a chance to be promoted to a more powerful and longer-lived Fairy Queen.
As long as nothing happens to the oak forest.
There is no difference between these two states and eternity.
…
Matthew calmed the frightened goblins a little.
Then we walked down the hillside.
Farm edge.
The flames gradually died down.
The skeleton soldiers slowly dragged the bodies of the arsonist and his followers together.
Paige is wiping her bone blade.
And not far away.
A blue circle of light was floating blankly.
It was a ghost with a blank expression.
Until Matthew came over.
The ghost's eyes gradually became brighter.
"Matthew...you helped me."
The ghost realized what was happening.
Matthew raised the dead wood staff, and a stream of negative energy poured into the ghost's body, and the latter's originally almost nothingness spirit body regained a little luster.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Farmer, that I couldn't come earlier."
Matthew sighed softly.
Farmar is the owner of this farm.
He and his family must have died at the hands of those villains.
When Matthew planned to hunt down the arsonist earlier.
He felt an extremely powerful resentment in the direction of the farm.
This resentment actually continued to grow despite the fierce fire.
It sensed Matthew's presence.
So he begged him for a chance of revenge.
Of course Matthew would not refuse.
If such powerful resentment is left unchecked, a murderous ghost will inevitably be born.
He responded to the other party's plea with the summoning of the dead.
In the end, Farmar's spirit body was transformed into a powerful ghost.
The ghost's strength depends on its own resentment.
After the revenge is successful.
Farmar's spirit body was greatly weakened.
If there is no external interference.
He will disappear soon.
…
"...Yesterday was Anthony (Farmar's son)'s birthday. Our family went shopping in the town for a long time and bought a lot of things that the children like: desserts, candies, butter bread, and frosted strawberries..."
"When I went out in the morning, I thought it was a bad omen. The old dog Hunter kept barking, but I thought he was noisy, so I locked him in the warehouse... Damn it, I should have expected that Hunter would not do it for no reason. He barks wildly, he is very spiritual..."
"...The group of people rushed in directly. They tied up Lina and Anthony and killed the others. I only had a pitchfork in my hand, and the other men were also unprepared. We relied on the warehouse to resist for a while... What did I do? I couldn't even buy them time to escape into the cellar, damn it!"
…
Farmar talked nonchalantly.
Matthew listened silently.
This is a very responsible middle-aged man.
He mentioned almost exclusively his family, brothers and farmhands in conversation.
His face is full of attachment to life.
But even with the negative energy injected by Matthew to sustain it, his life as a ghost is about to come to an end.
unless--
"Do you want to continue to exist in this form? I can help you."
Seeing that Farmar's condition is getting worse and worse.
Matthew couldn't help but mention it.
Farmar was stunned for a moment.
He shook his head:
"No, thank you, Matthew, thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it."
"Lina and the children are waiting for me, it's time for me to go with them."
Said.
He glanced towards the east.
Matthew followed him thoughtfully.
His vision suddenly turned gray——
Just outside the burned-out stone house.
Six or seven souls clustered together.
They stared at Farmar lovingly.
Those are his family.
Matthew also saw that very cute little girl.
She looked dumb.
It seems that he still doesn't know what happened.
"I'm leaving, Matthew... There are some savings of mine in the cellar behind the mill. Please take them."
Farmar's figure gradually disappeared into nothingness.
"I only have one wish - don't let our corpses be exposed in the wilderness, okay?"
The gray field of vision suddenly disappeared.
Farmar and the other souls disappeared instantly.
Matthew's temples were still heaving violently.
…
"You mastered the new ability 'Basic Vision' during your encounter and conversation with the ghost.
Elementary Psychic Vision: You can glimpse a corner of the ghost world.
Note: Using this ability will consume a lot of mental energy."
…
"Huh~"
Matthew let out a long breath.
Under normal circumstances.
Only when ghosts become ghosts, ghosts and other strong reality forms can they have a chance to be seen.
Ordinary ghosts cannot be seen.
Necromancers can use the spell 'Spirit Sense' to capture traces of souls.
But spiritual body perception is a third-level spell.
Therefore, necromancers below level 8 rarely have ghosts as summons.
Farmar actually has a chance to become a powerful ghost.
It's just that his resentment dissipated too quickly.
If Matthew is an evil necromancer, he can force the other party to sign a contract with him, and then not kill Hesse or continue to deceive Farmar Hesse is not dead.
In this way, you can harvest a ghost with amazing combat power.
But give Matthew ten thousand chances.
He won't do that either.
…
Next comes the stage of cleaning the battlefield and counting the loot.
Matthew first set his sights on the body of the arsonist Hesse.
He walked over.
Touching her wildly without being polite or decent!
