The Birth of the Black Death God (Remake)
Ch. 58
The Oug Tree was an extremely difficult opponent to deal with, even if one was in their prime. Including Xi, he would also have a hard time relying on his strength alone to fight against the tree.
If facing the Oug Tree. One does not just have to have power. However, calmness, and the speed of thinking to look for enemy weaknesses are also needed.
Just like Xi did. Against a plant that is difficult to cut by the sword, using a hot fire to defeat it. Because fire is the true opponent of plant parts. Plants will not be able to put out the fire by themselves.
Blood that has dried due to the heat of the fire. Making the roots of the Oug Tree unable to absorb them anymore. And automatically, it had stopped the aggressiveness of the Oug Tree that was affected by bloodlust.
“And it looks like this is done? Time to pick up the fruit..” Xi walked over to the Oug Tree. Just in case, he approached her slowly. Is it true that this tree has returned to calm, or just pretend. It would be dangerous, if it was just a trick for the enemy to approach him.
However, when he got near her. There was no movement of the Oug Tree. Which means, it justifies that the Oug Tree becomes aggressive due to the presence of blood it absorbs.
After getting that certainty. Before taking the fruit, Xi called out some of his troops.
*Goblin and Laron appear.
And then, after they came. Xi gave his orders. “Supervise the surrounding area while I pick up the fruit. Immediately report if there is someone, or a monster approaching.” After the order was given. The five Goblins and Laron were as bright as they spread out.
With the Goblins checking the entirety around with their running speed and sharp eyesight. While the Larons, watching every movement of other creatures from the air. And of course, everything is done in the absence of an audible sound, so it is less likely they will be realized by other creatures.
It's best to send an army of darkness to scout. Because, with those who do reconnaissance, Xi can share his vision with them. So that, if something happens, or there is something that needs to be reported, Xi can directly see what his subordinates want to convey.
This ability, the ability to share vision with the forces of darkness without being limited to the type of troops/type of creatures, he said, is the ability possessed by Xi naturally with slowly every day Xi always find out more about the privilege of the skill/ability possessed by him. And Xi was convinced, that there were still many more of these abilities that he had not known, yet could not be revealed by him. However, it was only a matter of time until he could figure out all the uniqueness and privileges of his ability.
It was not difficult for Xi to take all the Oug Tree fruits that were on his tree. Not only does it have a thick and dense tree trunk, each stalk of the Oug Tree is very strong and sturdy, so it is able to withstand a fairly heavy load. At least, one of its medium-sized stalks, can withstand loads as heavy as 2 times the weight of an adult man.
*Seeing into inventory. He kept what he got or what he found, whether it was the fruit of the Oug Tree, and some other things he found around the tree.
“There are 21 pieces, it just so happens that this amount is right for my party. Because in my party there are seven members, each of us will get three individuals. And besides, I was lucky enough to get some Oug Tree seeds. This I can definitely use later.”
*The purpose of his eyes was to point to a piece of paper he found around the Oug Tree.
Xi held the paper. He realized there was magic on the paper. It seems, it is magic that can make this paper survive even though it has been left here until the seasons that have been passed.
Viewing contents. The paper was not a map, however, not far from a good treasure.
‘Akkarta Tree, is a step tree that distance can be found. This tree grows mysteriously, not knowing for sure how the Tree of Deed can be born. Moreover, the Tree of Deed did not have a definite shape. In each place, especially in areas that have different climates. The Akkarta tree has different characteristics. Even so, there was one definite problem, a very difficult problem! That is, distinguish Akkarta Tree with other tree types.’ *And there are still some other explanations, but Xi did not read them.
He jumped over her immediately, when he caught a glimpse among the inscriptions there was mention of a fruit produced by the Akkarta tree.
‘The fruit of the Akkarta Tree is the same as the Oug Tree. However, the effect given is different. If the Oug Tree can raise 3 Stat Points at random. Thus, the Tree of Deed can increase the amount of Mana from someone eating it.’
*Smiling. “Increase Where ya?” It's obvious this is a good thing. “Although it is not mentioned how much mana is improved, but, at least it is quite useful.” Xi began to be interested, to get the fruit from the Tree of Acts.
*Call the soldiers of darkness.
“Message to Airis,..”
After conveying what he wanted to convey to his friends through the dark warriors he sent. Xi, start moving away towards where the Akkarta tree is located, through the direction written in the paper.
Where, the location of the Akkarta tree is not too far from the Oug tree.
On his way to where the Akkarta tree is. Xi could feel as he ran towards it, the closer and closer he was to the location of the tree, the more monsters he felt.
It seemed, these monsters were close by to protect the Akkarta tree from strangers. If it is like that then... People who have the same information will not easily get the fruit.
Xi added speed.
If the one who left the paper found is gone. It did not rule out the possibility, if there were other adventurers who had similar information.
The festival has been opened several times. And surely, there was someone from the thousands of adventurers present in this competition had such information. And if the person was an old adventurer, then the person must have prepared a plan to get the fruit.
