Lu Yao convinced himself.

He flipped over like a carp and put on a shirt, sitting in front of the computer desk. To refresh himself, Lu Yao held the “Energy Staff” and had Xiao Huo pour a cup of strong instant coffee.

Time passed bit by bit.

As he saw the yellow pixel blocks in the desert gradually turning into green grass, Lu Yao finally relaxed.

Compared to leveling up by fighting monsters, planting trees and creating forests was much more difficult.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that the tree people had actually reproduced the first little tree person.

…

[Tree Person LV1]

HP: 50/50

MP: 5/5

Damage: 1

Defense: 3

Speed: 1

[Thick Skin]

Innately has higher HP.

[Self-Replication]

Can give birth to new offspring.

[Leaf Shot Lv1]

Shoots leaves at enemies from a distance.

[Recovery Lv1]

Continuously restores HP when it rains.

[Forest Element Lv1]

A forest elemental creature that promotes rapid forest growth. All attributes are enhanced in the forest. The effect depends on ability level and HP.

…

Although it was only level 1, the tree person retained all of its abilities perfectly.

The little tree person stood dumbly in the desert, and if it weren’t for the title of “Tree Person” above its head, it would be indistinguishable from the surrounding small trees.

At half past three in the middle of the night, under Lu Yao’s tireless efforts to create a forest “miracle,” the history of the southern desert finally came to an end. The long strip of yellow area completely restored into a forest.

The total cost of the reforestation plan was approximately 3100 points of faith.

With this, the Garlic Tribe would be surrounded by forests on the north, south, and west sides, and the forest would be the main battlefield for forest elemental creatures. The tree people would be the best stationary turrets inside, while the four spotted leopards would be the mobile guerrilla forces.

After a while, a huge golden leaf slowly condensed on the screen.

There was a line of text on the golden leaf.

[Future Voyager, since you are willing to protect the forest, the Golden Wilderness will open to you. Go and obtain the treasure I left behind.]

[But please remember, once you give up the forest, the Golden Wilderness will forever be closed to you.]

Excited, Lu Yao accidentally bumped his toe on the corner of the table, causing him to gasp in pain.

Pain meant it was real.

The legendary “Golden Wilderness” of the main god’s space had actually been found by himself.

The text on the golden leaf disappeared, replaced by a map.

There was a lake between the forest and the mountains, marked with a golden leaf symbol.

Lu Yao immediately took a screenshot using a shortcut key.

Then he carefully looked at it and realized that the place indicated on the map seemed somewhat familiar.

After repeatedly comparing the environment, a frozen smile appeared on Lu Yao’s face.

The location of the “Golden Wilderness” was actually the castle of the Salt Pool Tribe!

Lu Yao realized that this was definitely not a coincidence.

The “Whistleblower” must have also discovered the location of the “Golden Wilderness,” so it directly stationed a castle garrison there, blocking the door with a level 60 Blood Knight.

The “Whistleblower” couldn’t meet the requirements of the Forest God, so it couldn’t open this main god’s space. But it also didn’t allow other novice-protected apprentice gods to have this opportunity to inherit the legacy of the Forest God. This was easy to understand.

Lu Yao had a headache.

The treasure vault was within reach, but it was blocked by an unbeatable insane boss.

It was like having an itchy bump on your arm, but you couldn’t scratch it or draw a cross on it with your fingernail.

Lu Yao’s courage grew in the face of adversity.

He glanced at the upper right corner, where he still had over 8000 points of faith.

With this ammunition, he could fire 400 “Lightning” shots.

Lu Yao had tried before, and one “Lightning” shot could deal 40 points of damage to pixel units, exactly twice the amount of faith.

This divine miracle caused direct real damage, and known pixel units’ defense was useless, they could only withstand it. The Blood Knight was no exception.

The Blood Knight had 3850 HP. In other words, theoretically, if he didn’t regenerate HP, 97 “Lightning” shots would empty his health bar.

The faith cost was 1925.

The potential problem was that it was uncertain whether the Blood Knight had a second form or something similar.

If he emptied his health bar and transformed into a second or even third form, then a reassessment would be necessary.

Lu Yao asked for Isabella’s opinion.

As a combat member, she understood the situation of the Blood Knight better.

However, Isabella provided a different perspective: “Sir, there’s no need to consider completely killing the Blood Knight. Just lower his HP to a critical level, and the ‘Evil Bone Whistle’ will take effect.”

“With this item, you can subdue and control the Blood Knight.”Lu Yao slapped his forehead.

He almost forgot about this prop.

……

【Evil Bone Whistle】: Faith +2/hour.

A treasure made by the whistle-blower. By blowing the whistle, it controls monsters and beasts that have lost their sanity.

……

With the battle plan set, Lu Yao ordered to proceed.

Isabella re-entered the castle from the west.

There were no corruptors to be seen in the castle anymore, and bloodstains were everywhere on the ground.

Deep underground, the Blood Knight Neville was lying on the ground, gnawing on the corpse of a corruptor. Above his head were the words 【Chaos】【Weakness】【Skin-Stripper’s Curse】, and he was occasionally letting out beast-like roars.

Lu Yao cast a 【Lightning】 spell at this level 60 boss.

The 【Lightning】 spell, which could kill pixelated characters in one hit, only caused a -40 damage number to appear above the Blood Knight’s head.

The Blood Knight suddenly raised his head and roared at the screen.

However, he seemed to know that he couldn’t dodge this divine attack, so he didn’t bother trying.

The Blood Knight’s frenzied appearance made Lu Yao a little nervous.

But he quickly calmed down: even a level 60 boss couldn’t break through the dimensional barrier and enter the real world. It was no different from a tiger in a zoo.

You dare to disrespect a god?

Today, you will face a physical tribulation!

Lu Yao pulled out 90 【Lightning】 spells at once, causing his faith in the upper right corner to instantly decrease by 1800 points, leaving only a little over 4000 faith points.

A large pillar of light filled with blue electricity pierced through the castle and directly hit the Blood Knight’s forehead.

The Blood Knight let out a wail, fell to the ground, and his body was covered in electricity.

A -3600 number appeared above his head.

Now, the Blood Knight Neville was in a state of weakness, with a series of negative emoticons appearing above his head, and a small soul figure floated out, indicating that he had suffered a fatal injury.

“My lord, that’s enough. Please leave the rest to me.”

Isabella took action.

She took out a small whistle from her black robe and blew it, and a string of musical notes floated above her head.

The Blood Knight, who was lying on the ground, began to tremble, and an exclamation mark slowly appeared above his head.

Isabella continued to blow the bone whistle, and the Blood Knight involuntarily stood up.

He staggered towards Isabella, moving like a zombie, not like a normal creature. The Blood Knight was no longer roaring, but quietly standing behind Isabella.

“My lord, I have controlled the Blood Knight with the 【Evil Bone Whistle】.”

Isabella reported, “As long as I hold the 【Evil Bone Whistle】, he can be controlled.”

Lu Yao communicated with her and confirmed the details.

The 【Evil Bone Whistle】 was like an invisible leash, which was difficult to work on high-level individuals under normal circumstances. But once the opponent was extremely weak, it could take effect.

Because the Blood Knight was currently in a beast-like state, the bone whistle could only give him some very simple commands. And he needed to be fed regularly, otherwise, he would retaliate.

The Blood Knight was indeed under control.

Lu Yao used the mouse to lead Isabella forward, passing the giant corpse of the Chief Apostle Frist, and entered a more hidden room.

At the end of the room was a blood-red door.

“My lord, this is a one-way teleportation door, which can lead to other worlds.”

Isabella said, “It should be the world behind the door where the Blood Knight sent the corruptors after creating them, to replenish the army for the 【Whistle-Blower】.”

A one-way teleportation door?

This thing was a hidden danger.

At Lu Yao’s command, Isabella ordered the Blood Knight behind her to attack the teleportation door. Blood Knight Neville swung his great sword, shaking the teleportation door with a few hits, and finally shattered it into pieces of light.

A new prompt appeared on the screen.

【The faith of the Whistle-Blower has completely disappeared nearby, and its followers will begin to look for a new god.】

Another golden leaf slowly unfolded in front of Lu Yao.

【As a reward for preserving the forest and wisdom, you can choose a treasure from the Silvanus Tree.】

【Later Voyager, do you want to enter the Golden Plains?】

【Yes】【No】
