Chapter 100: The Rage of the Rainforest Soul
Translator: Lonelytree
[Records: Your summoned creature Soldier has killed two plague envoys (LVIO). Plague Domain’s Elements: Fungus +1.
Your summoned creature Soldier has killed a Nightstalker Hound. Your XP +1.
Your summoned creature Soldier is on a killing spree! Your communication speed with the Soul of the Rainforest has increased!]
A dozen kill records were displayed in front of Matthew. The cold words silently displayed the cruelty of last night’s attack.
In fact, Matthew didn’t wake up much earlier than Lorraine because these enemies were all killed by Soldier near the cave house.
It was not difficult to tell from the battle records that other than the first two plague envoys that were killed by Soldier’s sneak attack, and the rest were killed by the Sword Dancer head-on.
The entire process only lasted for three minutes.
Soldier had single-handedly wiped out an entire team of plague envoys and night stalker hounds!
The most important thing was that the battle was silent. Even the most vigilant Old Lucky did not react. It was obvious how strong the Sword Dancer was.
What surprised Matthew, even more, was that…
After Soldier killed a wave of enemies, his communication speed with the Soul of the Rainforest increased by a large margin!
“Could it be that killing is the shortcut to earning the favour of the soul of the rainforest?”
Matthew secretly noted it down.
At this time, Matthew was also pleased that Soldier did not let down his training. The level 15 Sword Dancer who had mastered the Shadow Domain not only attacked and killed but his head-on combat ability was also not inferior.
In most cases, Soldier was already more useful than the bone dragon. More importantly, he was cheaper!
Matthew gnashed his teeth in hatred at the thought of the bone dragon. After the last war ended, Phily turned around and scammed him with three Soul Crystals, but he had not shared his ability with him yet!
This couldn’t go on. Matthew decided that after he advanced, he would bring Soldier and Phily to have a good talk.
Matthew hadn’t been doing well in terms of Soul Crystals recently. As one of his underlings, Phily should be able to understand the appropriate and necessary pay cut.
If Phily couldn’t understand.
He had to help him understand.
“So, yesterday, the Plague King’s men ambushed our camp, and I didn’t know anything?”
At this moment, Lorraine’s innocent eyes widened as he finally reacted.
Old Lucky completely ignored Loraine. He frowned for a while and then said to Matthew,
“Did you provoke the Plague King? He’s not a big shot, but there’s a reason why he’s still alive. We have to enter the rainforest as soon as possible. If you want to return to Marsh Water City next time, it’s best to disguise yourself and hide your aura.
“There’s no time to lose. Let’s set off!”
The rainforest road was muddy and not easy to walk on.
This was still the outer perimeter. The group of people were wearing the straw sandals of the Jango people. They walked on the dirt road that was usually used by people. Even so, their journey was hard. It showed how difficult it would get as they entered the depths of the rainforest.
This was also the reason why Matthew chose to summon skeletons instead of zombies after discovering the corpses of the plague envoy and the night stalker.
The skeleton was light and could keep up with the pace.
If it was a zombie, it might get stuck in the mud as it walked, and it was destined to be a burden.
Old Lucky was indeed an excellent guide.
Along the way, he sometimes walked at the front to identify the direction and mlide the fante and sometimes ran in the hack in deal with the traces thew left
behind.
During this time, he would also take time to introduce some common knowledge about the rainforest. Matthew and Lorraine listened very carefully.
It could be seen that after the night watch incident, the bard’s exaggerated temperament had been restrained a lot. He barely spoke and only nodded obediently when Old Lucky looked at him.
The journey was calm.
In the evening.
They arrived at a Jango tribe called Yucca on the outskirts of the rainforest.
According to Old Lucky, the leader of the Yucca tribe had married a daughter of a noble from Marsh Water City, so they were in close contact with the outside world.
Among the Jango tribe, the Yucca tribe was undoubtedly a moderate tribe. Even the extreme Headhunter tribe regarded them as traitors.
But even so, Matthew and Lorraine still didn’t have the chance to enter the tribal settlement.
The Jangos were very cautious. Even the moderate ones would not allow outsiders to enter for the first time.
Therefore, Old Lucky was the only one who was enthusiastically brought to the settlement by a native named Wuka.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Lorraine had to wait patiently under a huge banana tree outside the village.
Fortunately, Old Lucky was very efficient.
After a quarter of an hour, he brought a few young and middle-aged natives out of the settlement.
After greeting Matthew and Lorraine, they headed east. After walking for about two miles, they could vaguely see an open water area ahead.
This was the Roding River, which ran through half of the rainforest. It was also what many Jango people considered the mother river.
There was a pier by the river. Some indigenous women were fetching water and washing clothes, and a few children were playing around.
When they saw the outsiders, they all looked at Matthew and Lorraine curiously.
At this moment, Lorraine suddenly had an idea. He took out some glass beads and a small comb from his snakeskin pocket.
His distribution method was very particular. First, he handed it to the young and middle-aged men, then approached the women and children with Old Lucky’s permission.
[Hint: Your partner Lorraine has distributed gifts to the people of the Yucca Tribe. Your friendship with the Yucca Tribe +1]
Matthew was stunned. He did not expect himself to benefit from Lorraine’s act of charity. He felt the friendly gazes of the young adults and looked at Lorraine, who quickly got along with the children. Matthew was reminded that the power of money was indeed outstanding..
