Eastern Front.
As soon as Shadow Guard 2 landed, he received the message from Wu Ke.
"Nightblade's people?"
"Strange... I have no contact with them."
But he thought about the time a few days ago when Zhao Rulong was led by a Night Blade professional to attack them at the northern battlefield base...
"Then it can only be Zhao Rulong."
Cheng Shaofeng directly locked onto this person who could be considered an enemy.
Apart from him, Cheng Shaofeng couldn't think of anyone else the usually gentle player would offend.
Shadow Guard Lord: "Lock them under my tree, deprive them of all their energy, and then... wait a moment, someone will get anxious."
Wu Ke: "My Lord, as I recall... there seem to be very few Night Blade inheritance skills in our base, right?"
"Um?"
"Good boy!"
The base has too many skills recently. Cheng Shaofeng almost forgot that they have hardly ever encountered anyone who inherited the Night Blade legacy, so naturally they haven't found more skills.
Shadow Guard Lord: "When you're done, make a few copies and send them to the Eastern Battlefield and Red City Base."
Wu Ke: "Yes, lord."
Some players really like Night Blade's skill set, Assassin + Weapon Master, very strong in single combat!
Put down the smart watch, and Shadow Guard 2 will reunite with Shadow Guard 1.
The two bodies looked at each other, as if the left hand saw the right hand, and they were both part of themselves.
At this point, the players have discovered that they can no longer communicate with the NPCs.
We are back to the state where no one can understand each other.
Everyone was talking about it.
Many people went to privately chat with Sentinel’s Tieba account and QQ account to report the malicious bug.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Shaofeng immediately issued an announcement.
The game has encountered unexpected problems. The programmers are fixing it quickly. Please wait patiently... This bug does not affect normal interactions except for language. You can continue to do your own things.
Once the announcement came out, players stopped caring and just waited for the problem to be fixed.
Everyone continues to prepare for tomorrow's battle.
When Shadow Guard 2 arrived, he took out a small tree with seven-colored fruits from the warehouse and planted it in the center of the sub-base. He also took out seven kinds of epic materials that he had collected long ago from the warehouse.
Wrap the materials around the small tree.
Shadow Guard 2 spread his hands, and a rich green light swirled out from his body.
“The light of life!”
The Forest Ranger's fourth-tier talent uses extremely strong energy to enchant plants, allowing them to gain incredible life force, bringing a large amount of amplification to friendly parties, and obtaining different effects based on the plant's own compatibility and the properties of the enchanted material.
The rich green light stimulated the energy in the seven epic materials. The majestic energy wrapped around the small tree, prompting its seven fruits to grow, mature, and fall quickly. The vigorous energy exploded again, and the entire branch base felt wisps of energy with different auras surging.
The high-level players now have abilities similar to "spiritual perception". They can also feel the different energy fluctuations in the air around them. At this time, they put down their work and walked towards the sub-base square.
Shadow Guard 2 is still casting spells.
After the seven fruits fell to the ground, the seven seeds were also buried underground. Under the stimulation of the light of life, seven small saplings of different colors emerged and grew at an extremely fast speed!
Tons of tons of tons~
Shadow Guard 2 drank a sip of energy potion and continued to activate the Light of Life skill.
The seven trees grew very fast, their trunks kept climbing...
The players gathered around as well.
Xigou: "Oh my god... This Shadow Guard Lord made a big deal right after he arrived. What kind of cutscene is this? Upgrading the landscape of the base?"
Lao Ao: "This is the Forest Ranger's gift of Life Light! Lord Shadow Guard also has this gift... If I'm not mistaken, the main tree he planted is the legendary... Seven-Colored Tree. On one tree, seven energies are brewing - flame, frost, lightning, acid, radiation, vitality, chaos..."
"A legendary sapling. All energy practitioners can draw the energy they need from the tree. The naturally grown colorful tree is the treasure of the family. One tree can bring up an entire family of extraordinary people!"
"And if we use the Seven-Colored Tree as the main tree to cast the Light of Life, the effect it brings... must be extremely high. We may get a very strong seven-element energy damage bonus! In addition, if the lord is good at arranging formations, these seven-element energies can form a variety of large formations, and can also change the energy properties of the formation itself."
"For example... the Inquisitor's Ice Rune can be transformed into Fire Rune, Electric Rune, Acid Rune, and Chaos Rune at any time after being covered by this formation. If the enemy attacks, it can be transformed into a property that restrains it at any time, bringing him a very strong targeted attack!"
"In addition to these main functions, other functions after being enlightened by the light of our life will also be stronger than trees of other qualities."
"The Lord must have spent a lot of money to buy this tree..."
When Lao Ao was leveling up in the southern battlefield, he had already decided to learn the talent of the Forest Ranger in the future, so he often chatted with Bai Yue in Dali City and learned some theoretical knowledge.
As the one who is most grateful for the inheritance of the Scourge Base, Bai Yue naturally knows everything. If there are really a few players who learn the talent of Light of Life, she will only be happy for the development of the inheritance for the sake of the Forest Patrol.
The greatest wish of their ancestors who founded the tradition was to have the forest patrol array planted everywhere in the world!
In this way, under the strong energy nurtured by the forest patrol formation, the proportion of extraordinary people in the entire human race will increase significantly!
Unfortunately... There have never been many professional forest rangers, and they only maintain the formation in Dali City and some checkpoints in the southern battlefield.
“Tsk tsk~”
Mo Ming pouted at the scene in front of him: "It's too inflexible. It would be great if we could carry the tree on our backs and use it as a permanent buff. We summoners really need this."
In addition to summoning skills, the most important skills for summoners are aura skills. They need to enhance their pets, and it is best to have auras of all professions.
Each summoned creature has its own basic stats. After the auras are stacked multiple times, it will exert abilities far beyond its own. To put it at the extreme point, a skeleton soldier with 100 stacked auras may be able to defeat a fourth-order evil spirit with one blow!
This forest patrol formation has a very high bonus and comprehensive offense and defense, so it is naturally the favorite of summoners.
Lao Ao smiled and said, "It's a bit difficult to carry it with you, but we can plant trees while fighting. If there are more level 50 players who can use Light of Life, maybe they can form a front with me that keeps advancing."
Uncle Tian next door: "Let's do it!"
"Let me introduce you. This is our construction team! There are 95 people in total, 26 of whom are level 49. After a while of grinding, they will reach level 50. By then, all of them will choose the talent of Ranger."
How can a construction team be without the civil engineering department!
Trees enlightened by the light of life can grow into any shape according to the caster's wishes. They are the favorite of architecture players!
The city on the trees, Dali City, has been praised by players as the "most beautiful city in the game". Just take a screenshot and every location will be a wallpaper-level photo!
If they add some ancient tree elements to the architectural system of their own design, it will certainly be extremely beautiful, not to mention that it can also bring many practical buffs.
The people in the construction team don’t have any fixed work. They just kill monsters and level up with normal players every day. Then they come back and enjoy building houses using the Shaping and Block spells. So their level hasn’t dropped much. Among the team led by Uncle Tian, some old players are almost level 50.
Lao Ao smiled and said, "Okay, then you really helped all the players..."
Grandpa Tian pointed to the roots growing under the big tree of Shadow Guard 2 and said, "In addition to establishing a front... we have discovered another function of the Light of Life: changing the land!"
"The Void Spirits are not afraid of sunlight in the wasteland, can recover quickly, and are extremely hidden. Our people will be indiscriminately affected by debuffs. If we want to truly eliminate the Void Spirits and create a safe path to the shrine ruins, we must purify the wasteland!"
"The Lord gave me a new type of nanorobot to change the terrain. Combined with the purification energy of the Light of Life, it will definitely destroy the wasteland in one fell swoop!"
There were almost no proactive attacks on the Void Spirits in the Eastern Battlefield. The biggest obstacle was the wasteland. If this could not be resolved, they would find themselves surrounded by the Void Spirits while fighting, and the road they had cleared behind them would not be safe either.
The fox demon also came over.
"Uncle Tian is very thoughtful... If we can't defend our territory, we will have to fight the Void Spirits all over again every day. It's too troublesome."
"Where there is no wasteland, it is an absolute safe zone during the day."
At this time, many players heard Uncle Tian’s countermeasures and praised him.
"Old Tian is really reliable, he is worthy of being a national first-class carpenter..."
"For this large-scale event, life-related and combat-related players must work together closely to make it go smoothly."
"I see a lot of sparkling saplings planted in the greenhouse. Is it related to this advancement plan?"
While the players were chatting here, Shadow Guard 2 continued to cast spells and replenish energy.
An hour later.
The bare stone square of the sub-base was transformed into a huge colorful park with seven large trees intertwined and colorful energy pouring down like a waterfall.
Whoosh whoosh~
After circling the park, the energy was concentrated in a huge fruit in the center.
“Huh~”
“It finally worked.”
"The legendary colorful tree is indeed a bit difficult..."
Shadow Guard 2 breathed a sigh of relief. This time the casting took a long time. Even though he was a fourth-level professional with high intelligence and high recovery, he still drank 60 bottles of energy potions!
It can be seen how much energy this skill consumes.
This tree was a gift from Bai Cang, the leader of the Cang Birds, to him, as a thank you for helping the Cang Birds protect their home for generations. It had been kept in the warehouse unused.
At that time, he thought that one day after the players learned the Light of Life, they would come to the Red City Base.
But... plans are not as good as changes.
After discovering Shadow Guard's imitation talent, Cheng Shaofeng immediately sent Shadow Guard 2 to Dali City to find Bai Yue to cast a spell to comprehend this talent. Although it was flawed, it could still create a colorful tree.
Combined with seven epic materials of corresponding energy received from various players at some unknown time, the catalytic effect is extremely powerful, and one hour is equivalent to a month's hard work of an ordinary ranger!
"Next... I just need to let the players and I work together to perfect this formation, so that we can stack the beneficial buffs and continuously increase the range..."
"Now, let me try... to find you!"
Cheng Shaofeng stood at the center of the formation, feeling the abundant energy around him. In this formation, his formation series skills would receive a significant bonus!
"Life instinct!"
Shadow Guard 2's staff carved symbols on the ground, and then a wave of energy spread along his symbols to the entire sub-base!
Shadow Guard 2 closed his eyes, and the life energy of everyone in the sub-base was clearly visible in his consciousness!
This is a detection formation that can be linked with other trap skills. It is a skill that can be learned after the Forest Patrolman has achieved the fourth-level professional talent.
"If you can't tell from your appearance, then... can you hide your life instincts? As a fifth-level domainer... how strong is your vitality?"
Cheng Shaofeng didn't find the specific lifespan limit for fifth-order domainers in the books, but... if a fourth-order professional doesn't have combat injuries, he can live to about 180 years.
A fifth-level realm user must be higher, so his life energy will be far greater than that of others!
Players upgrade by devouring the life energy of dead enemies. Their levels represent the level of life energy, which is easy to distinguish.
After some investigation... Shadow Guard 2 stood up with a puzzled look on his face.
"No abnormal people?"
"Is she really not in the base?"
"Is Zhao Mo lying to me or does a Level 5 Territory Master have his own ideas?"
He felt that he should be able to do no wrong by using the power of the legendary seven-colored tree to build a forest patrol formation.
"strangeness... "
"If I still can't detect it tomorrow, my multi-structure energy shield will be at 100%, and you won't be able to come in..."
Cheng Shaofeng thought so.
Then he shouted, "Soldier, Ordovician Radiation, come!"
Lao Ao: "Hmm? Me?"
He felt a little strange, but still walked up to the Shadow Guard Lord immediately.
"This formation is incomplete now. You come and perfect it and add some enhancement capabilities..."
The talent that Cheng Shaofeng learned was incomplete, but the players understood the complete version!
The good thing about the skill of Light of Life is that it can be passed down from generation to generation, with the previous generation planting trees and the next generation pruning them!
The entire city of Dali is filled with formations, which have been perfected over generations!
He only needs to plant a seed, and the rest can be left to the players to continuously improve.
As for why he wants to grow his own...
Shadow Guard 2 successfully planted a legendary tree, activated the forest patrol array, and gained +500,000 experience!
"Playing as my simulated talent also gives me experience. The legendary formation adds 500,000 experience points, which is 1% more than the 50 million experience points I need to advance to the fourth-level intermediate level."
Shadow Guard 1 simulates the talent of summoning the Supreme Divine Guard. You only need to keep using this Divine Guard to increase your experience, and you will also gain extra experience after the Divine Guard participates in killing the Void Spirits.
The three shadow guards use simulation talents to continuously improve their experience. When a certain value is accumulated, the main body will be promoted directly!
"Save the polluted shrine and also help me level up my Shadow Guards. It's a win-win situation!"
"Oh no... the players are happy too, it's a win-win-win!"
The last night passed as the players continued to adjust.
At noon the next day, as the last nano-engineer was burned, a blue protective shield appeared above the sub-base, which also meant that they had the ability to temporarily resist the invasion of the fifth-order virtual spirits.
Cheng Shaofeng waved the flag in his hand.
"Soldiers, follow me... and destroy the Hollow Spirits!"
