After the battle, Field looked at the wreckage of the tree monster on the ground, and a sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.
Damn, it turns out that this is what it feels like to kill monsters and upgrade!
Compared to the embarrassment when I was chased before, the feeling of taking the initiative now is simply not too cool. Field clenched his fists, feeling the power surging through his body. It seems that there is no way out to run away blindly, and only by taking the initiative and plundering resources can we survive in this cruel world.
"Master, are you okay?" Lena stumbled over, her voice weak.
Field looked back and was startled. Lina's right arm was glowing with a strange black gas from her wrist to her elbow! And her face was as pale as paper, obviously overdrawn.
"Damn! What's wrong with you? Field rushed over and helped her.
Lina smiled reluctantly: "It's okay master, just when I touched that core, I felt something get into my hand." "
As soon as she finished speaking, she rolled her eyes and fainted directly in Field's arms.
"Lena! Lena! Field shook her shoulders quickly, but there was no response.
Connor walked over with a solemn face and looked at Lena's arm: "Lord Baron, this is Corruption Erosion. That core contained some kind of evil power that was now eating away at her body. "
"What should I do? Is there a solution? Field asked anxiously.
Connor hesitated: "According to experience, the safest way is... Amputation. Before the corruption spreads throughout the body, cut off the infected parts. "
"No!" Field refused without thinking, "You must not cut it!" There must be other ways! "
What are you kidding, Lena finally has a hard time trusting him, if he loses his arm because he saved him, where does he still have the face to continue to be the master?
What's more, since the system marks her as a special target, it will definitely not be so easy to have problems.
Field remembered the heart of the woodland he had just gotten, and his heart moved. Didn't the introduction of this thing say that it contained pure life energy? Maybe it can deal with corruption!
He took out the emerald green crystal from his arms, and as soon as he took it out, the crystal began to emit a soft green light.
What's even more amazing is that when the spar approached Lina's arm, the black energy on it began to slowly dissipate!
"I'm Gan! This really works! Field shouted excitedly.
Everyone gathered around and watched this magical scene. The black gas on Lina's arm quickly retreated under the green light as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
However, Field soon discovered that it was not enough to get close. Although the black gas is dissipating, it is very slow, and there seems to be a tendency to fight back.
"It seems that you have to be a little ruthless." Field gritted his teeth and made a bold decision.
He attached the Heart of the Woodland to Lina's arm and then activated the power in his body to try to direct the energy of the hedron into her.
"Your Excellency, are you...?" Connor looked at him in shock.
"Save her." Field replied succinctly, preoccupied with controlling the flow of energy.
The heart of the woodland began to heat up in his hands, and the green light became brighter and brighter. Field felt a warm force flowing from the spar and conducting it down his palm into Lena's body.
With the injection of energy, the black energy on Lina's arm completely dissipated. Not only that, her originally pale face also regained its bloody color, and her breathing became steady and powerful.
Lina let out a comfortable whimper in her coma, like the sound of a puppy acting coquettishly.
Field breathed a sigh of relief. It seems to have worked.
But when he wanted to take back the Heart of the Woodland, he found that the spar had completely integrated into Lina's body, leaving only a faint green mark on her wrist.
[System prompt: Goal enhancement completed]
[Lina Baishuang: Rating upgraded to A-]
[New Ability: Nature Affinity (can communicate with forest creatures and resist corruption damage)]
[New Ability: Life Drain (Restores Self-Strength when attacking enemies)]
A-level! Field was ecstatic. It seems that this investment is totally worth it!
Lina slowly opened her eyes, with confusion in her red pupils, "I feel... It's very strange. "
"What's strange?" Field asked with concern.
Lena sat up and looked at her hand: "It feels full of strength, and... I seem to be able to hear the sound of the forest. "
She turned to look at the trees around her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "They are talking to me!" "
Connor and the others looked at each other. What is the situation?
Field knew it in his heart. It seems that the strengthening of the system is no joke, Lena really gained the ability to communicate with nature.
"What to say?" Field asked curiously.
Lena listened carefully: "They say... Thank you for clearing the corrupted dryads and say that there is a very important place deep in the forest where there is... Is there holy water that heals all damage? "
Holy? Field's eyes lit up.
When Connor heard this, his face became extremely shocked: "No... Is the legend true? "
"What legend?" Field asked.
"Moonlight Spring!" Connor said excitedly, "Legend has it that in the deepest part of the Whispering Forest, there is a spring blessed by the goddess of moonlight. The spring water washes away all curses and damage, but it is always protected by the guardians of the forest and is never accessible to anyone. "
"That mourning tree monster... Could it be the corrupted guardian? Connor looked at the remains of the tree monster on the ground, thoughtful.
Field immediately opened the system map to view. Sure enough, deeper in the forest, a new green spot appeared, not as bright as Lena's, but quite conspicuous.
[System prompt: Legendary location detected - Moonlight Spring]
[Suggestion: Go to explore and may obtain rare resources]
Legendary? This evaluation sounds very exciting!
"Everyone listen!" Field stood up and looked around, "The plan has changed!" "
"We no longer see this forest as a dangerous place to pass through as soon as possible, but as a treasure trove of opportunities!"
Bagra and the others were confused. Treasure trove? There are monsters everywhere here!
"Master, what do you mean...?" Connor asked cautiously.
"We're going to stay here for a while longer and explore this forest thoroughly!" Field pointed in the direction of the green light point on the map, "The target is the moonlight spring deep in the forest!" "
Everyone was shocked. Take the initiative to venture deeper into this dangerous forest? Isn't this looking for death?
But seeing Field's determined expression and the magical changes that occurred in Lena, a trace of anticipation welled up in their hearts.
Maybe... Can you really do miracles with this young master?
"But before that, we have to rest first." Field looked at the team's situation, "Set up camp here tonight and set off tomorrow morning." "
Bagra and others began to clear the camp and erect improvised fortifications.
Lena sat aside, curiously "communicating" with the surrounding plants. Occasionally, she would reach out and caress a small tree, and the tree would actually swing its branches and leaves in response to her.
This scene made everyone feel amazing.
Field walked up to Connor and patted him on the shoulder: "Connor, what do you think of my decision? "
Connor was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily: "My lord, I admire your courage and wisdom. Although the risk is great, if you can really find Moonspring... That would be an opportunity to change your fate! "
"Haha, I like your idea!" Field laughed, "Wealth and danger! "
As night falls, bonfires are lit.
The team sat around the fire, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before. After several battles, this group of people who had never known each other already had a sense of comradeship.
Especially seeing Field treat Lena with a precious treasure without hesitation, everyone's respect for this young master reached an unprecedented height.
A nobleman who uses priceless magical materials on an Asian slave is unheard of on the entire continent.
"Master." Lena walked over to Field and sat down, her voice soft, "Thank you for saving me." "
Field waved his hand: "You're welcome, we are comrades-in-arms." "
Lina shook her head: "It's not just comrades-in-arms... You are the most important person in this world to me. "
Her voice was very small, but in the quiet of the night, everyone could hear it clearly.
Bagra and the others were so moved that their eyes turned red. This kind of deep friendship between master and servant is really rare.
Field looked at the beating flames in the campfire, and a wonderful feeling welled up in his heart.
After coming to this world, he really felt the feeling of being needed and trusted for the first time.
This feeling... It's pretty good.
"Okay, let's rest early." Field stood up, "Tomorrow we are going to see the legendary Moonlight Spring!" "
Everyone nodded and began to prepare to rest.
But Field was so excited that it was hard to sleep. Moonlight spring, forest treasure, A-grade Lina...
