Chapter 57: Scream forest

After packing his bags, Joan found out that there was still half an hour of free time, and took Conti to the wood house to say goodbye to Jamie and Gray. During this time, the mixed winter wolf and the gray bagged beast formed a deep friendship with Kandy. When she learned that she was almost farewell, Jamie and Gray were very sad. Seeing their unwillingness, Kandy couldn't help souring his nose, and repeatedly promised to return to visit them in the future.
Saying goodbye to Jamie and Gray, who are reluctant, Joan and Condy return to the glade. At this time, Kalinin's spell-casting ceremony has come to an end. The yellow agate, which transmits natural power, is completely integrated into the black oak tree, playing a role similar to the heart.
Kalinin chanted the last prayer, and the scroll in his hand turned into ashes, and the spell ceremony ended successfully.
"Wake up, the creatures bred by the mother of nature!"
Along with Kalinin’s call, the black oak trembles, and a sharp transition is taking place from top to bottom: first the two thickest branches become arm-like organs, the bark covering the arm surface is like rough skin, giant arm The terminal branches and leaves knit themselves into wide palms. Then the roots of the tree broke through the ground, and the roots of the strands were twisted into thick long legs and a pair of big feet enough to support the tall body. The lush crown was like a fluffy hair swinging in the wind. In the last step of the transformation, a human-like face emerged from the center of the tree trunk, looking at the people in front of him with curious and alert eyes.
Joan and the Conti family stood at the foot of the huge creature of half a tree and half a man, all silent, but their expressions were different. Joan's face was full of surprise, shocked by the magical changes he had just witnessed. Kalinin, who cast a spell to enlighten this big tree, smiled and greeted the tree people in an ancient and mysterious language.
The Black Oak slowly sagged the canopy and bowed deeply to the Druid who gave him wisdom.
"Thank you for giving me a new and respected host, how can I serve you?"
"Come with me, Son of Nature, and return to our common home. In the depths of the jungle, you can find more like-minded partners."
"As you wish, my master."
The tree man took a big step and followed Kalinin down the mountain. This huge plant walks like an elegant heron, and its actions seem to be slow, but considering that the distance it steps out is equivalent to dozens of steps for ordinary people, the speed of walking on both feet is not inferior to that of a galloping horse.
"Mila, we are on the way too!" Kandy pulled the young tree spirit to chase the tree man.
The tree man seemed to sense that his symbiotic tree spirit had fallen behind, stopped and slowly leaned over, with the rough, twisted branches of his hands gently holding Condy and Mila.
"And Joan!" Kandy yelled.
The tree man surrendered a hand obediently, and could not help but pick up Joan, putting his backhand between his shoulder branches.
Joan hurriedly hugged a thick branch in order to maintain balance on the swaying tree. Kandy was like a dexterous monkey. He quickly climbed a branch and climbed beside him, his face red with excitement.
"Joan Joan! It's fun!"
"Ok."
"Oh! The big tree has no name yet. How about we call it "Little Black" in the future?"
"It's convenient to have a name, but why is it called "Little Black"?"
"Because it was originally a black oak tree!" Kandy seemed to think that the reason was not enough, and then said, "And it can just be paired with my family's old white! When old white sees Xiaohe, he will definitely be happy. Laughed so tightly."
"Who is Lao Bai?" Joan looked at Kandy in doubt.
"Well... when you arrive at the village of Pohuatan, you'll know it when you see Lao Bai!" Kandy blinked, his smile narrowed.
...
Joan said goodbye to his grandfather, followed the Conti family to leave Delin town, and would join the forty Asa hunting riders who stayed outside the town.
The settlement of the Algonquin tribe is located two hundred miles west of the town of Delin. The crowd is all the way west along the Delin River. The road conditions of the first fifty miles are not bad. Next, they will go deep into the dense forest. There was no way to go at all, so I had to dismount the horse and wield the sword to dig through the bushes, forcibly opening a passage between dense forests. According to the experience of the Conti family, even if you rule out accidents such as beasts, robbers, or getting lost during the journey, you will have to walk for at least five days to reach the village of Pohuatan.
Fifty miles from Delin town to the outer edge of the jungle have pedestrian traffic, which belongs to the patrol range of the Delin town police team, and the journey can be kept safe; the area near the valley where the Povatan village is located belongs to the Asa sphere of influence, and it is also safer; The most risky part of this trip is the more than 100 miles of mountain roads halfway through, most of which need to cross the "scream forest".
"Screaming Forest" is part of the Great Forest of Yalv. The long and narrow coniferous forest belt extends northwest to the Efen River, and the southeastern end reaches the lizard swamp. This forest is named after the
scream tribe
of the local goblin family. The notorious evil creatures such as goblins, bear gnomes, and goblins are emerging in an endless stream. According to estimates by Condy’s parents, the total population of the
scream tribe
Not less than 30,000, most of which are ordinary goblins with the strongest reproductive ability, and there are not less than 10,000 bears and gnomes combined. What makes Conti's parents deeply disturbed is that the population of the Goblin family is still expanding rapidly. According to this momentum, the "Screaming Tribe" will one day rush out of the forest and expand the power of human settlements. The villages of Povatan and Delin in Screaming Forest are inevitably suffering.
"Since the Goblin Tribe is a potential threat, why not eliminate them before they have grown up?" Joan asked puzzlingly.
"In fact, we had a plan to destroy the'screaming tribe' as early as ten years ago. However, when we really took action, we found that the strength of the goblin family is far stronger than we expected, especially their leader Le Tu, one who was called The Goblin warlord of the'Tyrannosaurus Conqueror', the high-level black guard of the'Goblin God' Magrubiye, not only has extremely powerful personal strength, but also has the rare leadership skills and strategic vision of the Goblin family. Our warriors from the Algonquin tribe have fought many times with the Letu legion. Although they have won more and fewer losses, they have never been able to completely defeat their opponents, and they have also suffered great casualties." Matoka said.
Matoka sighed, and then said: "Our human fertility is far less than that of goblins. Letu lost an army and can fill up his troops for up to two years, but we cannot cultivate a new generation of warriors in such a short time. As the two parties continue to consume in this way, Letu will surely become the ultimate winner, not to mention that this goblin lord will not only lead the soldiers to fight, but also have diplomatic skills. According to the information we have recently collected, Letu is working with the South The Lizardmen tribes in the Everglades are negotiating and actively seeking alliances. If the goblins and the Lizardmen really form an ally, it is undoubtedly a bad news for humans living near the jungle and swamp."
Joan listened to Matoka's words and seemed to be crushing a heavy stone. He had clashes with the Lizardmen tribe and teamed with Gray to kill two Lizardmen shamans successively. If the Lizardmen get the support of the Goblin clan, would they launch an attack on his hometown of Delin in the name of revenge?
