Chapter 236: Druids Were Plucked Bald

~14 min read 2,616 words

"Don't, don't fight!" Big bones rushed over and "gently" pushed left and right, wanting to separate everyone.

The You Ying guards' eyes, which were radiating red light, widened abruptly, and they hurriedly put their hands in front of them, but big bones' hand still pushed him "exploded," and his form exploded and dissipated.

Ang also put his hands together and blocked big bones' other hand. His body remained motionless, but the mud under his feet couldn't support it and slipped, sliding away a few steps.

Big bones panicked: "Ao ao, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it." Saying that, he was about to run toward the exploded You Ying guard, looking like he wanted to piece him back together.

"Lord Big Bones, I know you didn't mean it, don't come over!" The You Ying guard condensed a face and couldn't wait to shout, stopping big bones from approaching. If he touched him a few more times, he would be finished even if he didn't mean it.

Big bones stopped frustratedly, scratching his head: "Sorry... you are too fragile, Ang and the big cat are better..."

The You Ying guards couldn't care about what big bones was saying anymore, as long as he didn't come over. The leading You Ying guard said: "Lord Big Bones, the Great Sage ordered us to requisition fertile land for Druid guests to farm. May I ask if this is your territory?"

Big bones scratched his head: "No, it's Ang's."

Big bones stepped back and revealed Ang behind him.

The You Ying guards blinked in confusion. There are not many undead creatures with high status in the Fallen Land. Big bones is one of them. If it were big bones', it could be understood. Why would an ordinary golden skeleton possess so much farmland?

However, he didn't think too much and said directly: "Golden skeleton, the Great Sage needs to requisition your farmland and hand it over to the Druids to farm. Please cooperate."

"No," Ang refused.

"Golden skeleton, I hope you cooperate. This is the Great Sage's order." The You Ying guard said sharply.

"No," Ang refused.

The little angel rushed up with a "ceng ceng ceng," but before she could act, she was picked up by Ang by the neck.

The little angel turned her head in confusion and pointed at the You Ying guard: "Ao!"

Ang shook his head: "Ao."

"Oh." The little angel retreated frustratedly.

The You Ying guards were caught off guard by this interruption. They had never encountered a situation where they refused the Great Sage's order. What to do now?

However, they didn't have to worry for long. They retreated one after another. In the distance, a black shadow approached at high speed on the horizon. With a tail-flick, it stopped steadily in front of everyone.

The Great Sage got off the carriage angrily, but seeing the situation in the field, he was stunned again: "Big bones? Why are you here?"

Big bones scratched his head and pointed at Ang and the others: "New friends."

The Great Sage followed big bones' pointing and his gaze fell on Ang and the others.

Ordinary golden skeleton, tender and cute little human girl, lich, brass dragon hatchling, big cat, and in the distance, a young human woman, three humans, a lich, a unicorn... Why is this combination so strange?

Since they are big bones' friends, it seems inconvenient to be hard. The Great Sage, who was still pretending to be angry, couldn't help but scratch his head, turned to the Druids still in the sky and said: "Distinguished guests, the land here has an owner. Can you please change to another place?"

Du Binqi's voice came from the eagle: "No, the soil here is the most fertile and most suitable for planting crops. If we change to another place, it is difficult to achieve a thousand catties per mu."

Nonsense, can it not be fertile?

Ang added insect ash as base fertilizer, mixed with bird droppings, added corresponding plant ash and gravel smashed by the Earth Holy Hammer. With Ang's thousand-year planting experience, he carefully adjusted the soil ratio and used purification spells to purify the insects, ants, mold, and bacteria in the soil.

Du Binqi absolutely couldn't find such suitable soil in a natural environment, and hadn't even seen it before, so how could he give it up easily?

The Great Sage couldn't help but feel embarrassed. If it were any other reason, it would be fine. Now that Du Binqi had moved out the reason of "cannot grow a thousand catties per mu," he had to be cautious.

Cannot grow a thousand catties per mu, then how much can be produced? Five hundred? Three hundred? One hundred? No matter how much is produced in the future, these Druids can say: It is because you didn't give us that piece of land at that time, so the yield was so low. You are responsible.

Responsibility can be pushed away.

In order to avoid them finding excuses in the future, it seems better to requisition the land for them. At most, give big bones' friends some compensation.

Thinking of this, the Great Sage turned his head and was about to say something when that brass dragon hatchling suddenly spoke: "Old undead, do you still recognize me?"

Nai Ge Li Si had been observing the Great Sage's expression. Seeing his final expression, Nai Ge Li Si knew it was not good. Based on his understanding of this old undead, he estimated that he was ready to be hard.

Other things can be hard, but grabbing Ang's field is absolutely not allowed. If they fight, what if the Great Sage is beaten to death? That would be troublesome.

Now that it has reached this point, Nai Ge Li Si can't care about hiding, and shouted "Old undead" as soon as he opened his mouth.

This very disrespectful title made those You Ying guards furious: "Bold!"

Just as they were about to rush up and hack this little yellow dragon, the Great Sage stopped them, then looked at the little yellow dragon in disbelief, calling out in shock and uncertainty: "God of Knowledge?"

Among the guys he knew, the only one who would call him an old undead was that brass dragon who claimed to be omniscient.

"It's been more than a thousand years. I didn't expect you to still remember me," Nai Ge Li Si said.

Confirming that it was really the God of Knowledge, the Great Sage was even more shocked, so excited that his form was a bit unstable: "God of Knowledge, you... you... you are thin! Why are you here? Could it be that the Palace of Rest..."

Nai Ge Li Si knew what he wanted to ask, but he shook his head and made up a reason: "I don't know the situation of the Palace of Rest. It was Pi Ye Luo who saved me."

If it weren't for the last resort, Nai Ge Li Si wouldn't want to recognize these elders of the Undead Empire at all. He could accept Ang controlling the godhead and becoming the God of the Undead. Can the Great Sage accept it? Can Ha Wei accept it?

Don't know. If they don't accept it, what to do? If they ask Ang to hand over the Palace of Rest, what to do?

These elders of the Undead Empire have an indelible reverence for the Undead Monarch. Are they willing to watch the Undead Godhead fall on the head of a skeleton who plants vegetables?

Don't know. In order to avoid extra branches, Nai Ge Li Si didn't want to recognize each other. Anyway, they couldn't return to the Palace of Rest.

But now he had to reveal his identity, so he had to make up a reason first and find Andong Ni to string the confession later.

"Is it really you? Why are you here? Why did you become like this? God, you are so thin. How long haven't you eaten?" The Great Sage drifted over excitedly, touching and feeling Nai Ge Li Si.

"Don't touch, don't touch randomly, roll, roll, roll, roll, roll!!" Nai Ge Li Si kicked the Great Sage to the side.

Never seen the Great Sage so out of control, the eyes of those You Ying guards changed, and they put away their weapons and retreated quietly to the side.

Du Binqi and the others were also left on the side. The Great Sage and Nai Ge Li Si gathered together, whispering about something. When they were excited, they occasionally burst out with curses like "Ku Ba Da," "Old undead," and "Embryo dragon."

After more than ten minutes, they might have talked it over. The two guys separated. Nai Ge Li Si returned to Ang's side and asked quietly:

"Ang, the Great Sage offered two scarecrows to exchange for half of your farmland. With the relay tower as the center line, the east belongs to them, and the west belongs to us. Both sides compete. Whoever wins gets the Heavenly Kingdom Scepter. Do you agree?"

Scarecrow? Ang touched the scarecrow hat behind him and nodded repeatedly.

If there was anything closest to him on the farm, it was undoubtedly the scarecrow. Unfortunately, ever since the undead soul disappeared, the scarecrow quickly lost its magic, could no longer manifest a form, and eventually rotted and cracked, leaving only a hat.

Ang hates others burning his fields and grabbing his land, but equal exchange is fine. At most, reclaim it again. Where is the scarecrow precious?

Nai Ge Li Si breathed a sigh of relief. He suggested that the Great Sage take out the scarecrow because he thought about it and thought that only these things related to farming could move the vegetable-planting skeleton.

"Then do you have confidence? These people claim to be the breeders of high-yield grain seeds in the Chun Feng Cup grain seed competition, cultivating grain seeds with a thousand catties

If Ang wasn't sure, he could only refuse the competition and then find the Great Sage for a 'friend trade' to get the scepter privately. At worst, he could have Anthony make another fake for those druids.

Ang nodded.

Then there was no problem. Negris flew over to reply. The Great Sage on the other side had also finished talking with Du Binqi. Originally, Du Binqi didn't agree; such fertile land was a treasure to druids, how could they let others take half of it?

But upon hearing that the other side wanted to compete with them in planting techniques to see whose crops were more productive, all the druids, including Du Binqi, laughed, with expressions of 'these little kids are so cute' on their faces, and immediately agreed.

Negris went and returned, bringing back two scarecrows—straw-woven humanoid dolls wearing two straw hats. Both the dolls and the hats were much more exquisite than anything Ang had ever seen.

Using the relay tower as the center line, they drew a boundary, and Ang and the others retreated to the west of the center line.

After Ang's side retreated, the druids, except for Du Binqi, walked over, sowed seeds at the border, and began to cast spells.

With the rhythm of the magic, the seeds on the ground grew rapidly. Thorny vines grew wildly and, under the guidance of the druids, grew into a three-meter-high wall, enclosing all the land belonging to them on the east side.

Lightning was called over. The big cat, little angel, little zombie, Ang, and the brass dragon lined up, squatting on its back, poking their heads out, curiously looking into the thorny vines.

Negris said in shock and a low voice: "Growing faster than your Death Aura? Are real druids this powerful?"

"No, it's the seeds," Ang said.

After everyone dispersed and the druids might have fallen asleep, a black shadow quietly crept to the side of the thorny vine wall. With a point of his finger, one of the buds grew rapidly, blossomed, and bore fruit. The black shadow picked a pile of seeds.

He circled to other parts of the wall and did the same, and the black shadow obtained seeds of different plants.

After waking up the next day, several druids looked at the holes on the thorn wall caused by the premature withering from flowering and fruiting, looking blank.

Before the Eternal Night passed, the competition between Ang and the druids couldn't begin, but Ang didn't care at all because he discovered another thing: these druids were simply a treasure trove; they had too many treasures on them.

The thorny vines they brought out on the first day were a type of fast-growing plant. Under the druids' urging, they could grow into a wall in one day.

Then on the second day, they planted a tree. This tree was short and thick, but it grew very fast. By the second day, it could bear fruit, producing fruits the size of human heads.

Picking these fruits and roasting them over a fire, after they were cooked and opened, the fragrance of grain drifted out. Inside the fruit were lumps of yellow flour-like material. After being roasted, they could be squeezed into a ball and stuffed into the mouth to eat.

"My god, that's starch. This kind of fruit can be a staple food." Negris clung to the window on the top floor of the relay tower, poked his head out, and said in shock while aiming.

Ang and the others followed suit, clinging to the window and poking their heads out to watch curiously.

Druid Du Binqi probably regretted using the relay tower as a boundary by now. The thorn wall was a mere formality because the relay tower was higher, and their every move was under the eyes of others.

Moreover, these people were particularly thick-skinned, or rather, had no skin at all. When told not to peek, they simply stopped peeking and started 'openly watching' instead.

After finishing their meal in a hurry, the druids ran to another corner at the far end and sprinkled some fast-growing seeds. Soon, they urged a wooden house to grow and hid inside to do whatever they were doing.

After they all hid in the wooden house, a black shadow quietly crept to the side of the thorn wall, looked in through a small crack, aimed, and suddenly reached out. His hand disappeared into the empty space in front of him but appeared next to the starch fruit tree seven or eight meters away, pulled off a fruit, and disappeared.

The black shadow's hand retracted, already holding a fruit, and he quickly hugged it and slipped back to the relay tower.

Returning to the relay tower, Negris couldn't help but pop out and scold: "Stealing things with the Dimensional Hand, you really are..."

At dinner time, seeing one fruit missing from the tree, a druid couldn't help but scold: "Which shameless person is stealing things! Haven't you seen breadfruit! If you haven't eaten it, just say so! I'll give you one as charity. Stealing things will rot your hands and feet, you shameless, no ass..."

Lightning ran over excitedly: "Who is scolding? Who is scolding? Great, watch me."

Taking a deep breath, Lightning stood on this side of the thorn wall and started spraying: "%¥……#%@amp; ……¥¥*#……¥*¥……#amp; *#amp; (amp; ……^#……*¥……@#¥(@#¥%(%amp; %……¥……)!%#!@#!@#……amp; ¥……"

Amidst Lightning's full-throated scolding, the druids fled in panic: "Forget it, forget it. Don't argue with these scoundrels. Stealing the breadfruit is useless; they can't cultivate the seeds."

They couldn't fight, couldn't out-scold, and were being plucked all day long. The druids felt they were about to go bald.

Just as Ang plucked six special seeds from these druids, the sky began to brighten.
