John, who was heading to the location of the fifth Tree of Nature with Lin Ke, stiffened.
"Bloodthirsty?" Lin Ke laughed and patted John on the shoulder, "It’s a nice nickna, sounds much more exciting than the Mayor. Feels like a villain."
Lately, because of John’s, Ove’s, and the others’ massacre strategies, the people in Forest Hut utterly loathed them.
Of course, that was all in private; openly, no one dared to say it aloud.
In the eyes of the Forest Hut’s people, Lin Ke, Rica, and others were clearly the good guys, and the soldiers of the Great Wilderness were good guys as well.
The bad guys were not only John and their group but also those hiding underground trying to resist. It’s just that no one knows who is hiding underground; otherwise, they would have been dragged out already.
"The na ’Bloodthirsty’..." John chuckled helplessly, "It’s fine. Teacher Ove is called the Electromagnetic Demon!"
John was also taught by Ove back in the day, so calling him teacher was normal.
"Haha! A regular demon can’t beat Teacher Ove, and a regular ’Bloodthirsty’ can’t beat you, a level fourteen ’Butler’." Seeing John didn’t mind, Lin Ke chuckled, "But in the future, they’ll praise you... well, if the next generation is educated properly."
The two chatted all the way to the village and farmland area.
In every village, you could see a Faser Demon Pattern Knight Squad patrolling on the dirt roads.
Lin Ke and John headed east, arriving at a small village with more than thirty households. There were enchanting farr creatures tilling the fields, while the enchanting farr wives were herding a local specialty of Forest Hut, the dairy goats.
Unlike the Great Wilderness, here both villages and cities are spread across the forest.
And even the unique dairy goats here are excellent climbers, capable of eating leaves from trees.
Beside a tree outside the village, Lolita sat cross-legged on the ground, tossing two large hamrs up and down as if they were toys.
A group of Knights was guarding around the tree on their mounts.
This tree was the Tree of Nature.
It was a white-barked tree, sowhat resembling a birch.
The Tree of Nature doesn’t have a fixed form; it could be any kind of tree species.
Seeing Lin Ke approach, everyone quickly saluted by punching their chests.
"Boss, you’re here!" Lolita whistled; her hamrs were still decorated with rivets, which were sared with so purple substance, a poison refined by Knicks.
"Yes, we can extract the tree heart now." Lin Ke walked up to the crowd, standing with arms crossed, "Let’s see how many tree hearts can be transplanted back this ti."
"Okay!" Lolita shouted, throwing her hamrs to the ground, causing a slight tremor. Then she rolled up her sleeves and moved forward, hugging the tree trunk.
She planned to directly uproot the Tree of Nature.
However, at this mont, the Tree of Nature suddenly trembled, and Lolita froze, maintaining her horse-riding stance.
Lin Ke raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.
Just now, that tree clearly emitted a wave?
A ntal wave!
Could it be that a Tree Spirit has been born?
It should be a Tree Spirit, right.
Lin Ke recalled so passages from books, that Tree Spirits, like Artifact Spirits, are naturally ford entities.
If this Artifact Spirit grows well, it might eventually gain intelligence. Once it gains intelligence, it wouldn’t be much different from an intelligent lifeform, though it might not be a carbon-based lifeform.
For instance, the Twin Gods, Spring God, and Stream God were born because the spring and stream received faith power day and night, developed intelligence, and then beca deities.
If this tree already has a Tree Spirit, cutting it to take the tree heart would be a pity.
"Sir! This tree just spoke to !" At this mont, Lolita snapped out of her daze and said to Lin Ke, "It’s gained intelligence!"
This Tree of Nature has intelligence!
Lin Ke raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure it’s intelligence?"
"Yes! It even speaks our Naseng common language!" Lolita said, "It asked us to let it go, saying it’s willing to submit... Ah, it’s a newborn Tree Spirit, like you said, oh yeah, a little Loli!"
She added, "Put your hand up, and it will talk to you."
Lin Ke imdiately stepped forward, placing his palm on the tree trunk.
Suddenly, a ntal wave spread out, transmitting to Lin Ke’s Soul Space.
The Soul Defense Magic Artifact that Andrew had given him started to react but was stopped by Lin Ke.
This wave had no malice.
"Y-you... hello, please co with ." The Tree Spirit’s voice sounded timid, speaking in slightly broken Naseng common language mixed with a local Forest Hut accent.
And this voice was like a little girl hiding behind a sofa, shyly speaking.
For such newly born souls, the tree’s age no longer mattered. The day the soul was born was when the life truly began.
Thus...
This was indeed a little Loli!
On the outskirts of the Soul Space, that wave guided Lin Ke’s consciousness into the tree’s body.
"Who are you? Are you going to hurt ... I can feel that many compatriots have already died. Do you also want to die?"
The little Loli asked continuously during the guiding process.
"No, we’re here to take you to a good place." Lin Ke tried to make his voice more kind and gentle, "People here are not suitable for you."
Saying this, his perception shifted from nothingness to darkness, and amidst the darkness, there was a faint glow.
This should be the Soul Space.
The voice led him into it, and Lin Ke saw the Tree Spirit’s physical form.
Indeed, it was a little Loli.
Fortunately, it hadn’t turned into a mismatch of Loli voice with a burly man’s body.
"Y-you previously wanted to kill ." The Tree Spirit Loli stood timidly in the center of the Soul Space, looking a bit frightened.
"Yes." Lin Ke smiled, showing his goodwill, "But now, I hope you can live well."
"I-I’m good..." The Loli Tree Spirit seed very sensitive to the concepts of kill, die, and live, nodding shyly.
"Loli... uh, can I pull you up and take you ho? My ho." Lin Ke smiled, "Will it harm you?"
This little kid felt easy to deceive...
"Loli... so I am a Loli?" The Tree Spirit mumbled, with two symbols floating from her spiritual body.
"Loli."
Lin Ke’s eyes widened, "No, that’s not your real na! It’s just a kind of..."
However, those two symbols had already dissipated, imprinting onto the Tree Spirit’s soul.
"Can I take your last na?" The Tree Spirit nad Loli looked at Lin Ke.
Oh, she really called herself Loli...
Lin Ke had no choice but to nod, "Sure."
Thus, the Loli Tree Spirit cautiously moved forward, lightly touching Lin Ke’s soul consciousness.
Imdiately, two more characters appeared on Loli’s soul.
"Loli Lin Ke."
In your na, crowned with my surna!
