Chapter 064 – This is a real threat!
......
The surrounding environment suddenly fell silent.
The rainforest was usually bustling with activity.
But at that moment, Matthew felt a long-lost tranquility.
It was as if all sounds had been swallowed up.
With his hearing blocked, Matthew's other senses became extraordinarily sharp.
He could feel the flow of the wind and clearly see the morning dew on a king flower 30 meters away.
Under the effect of the Eye of the Jungle, he could see the situation in other directions without turning his head.
This feeling was quite peculiar.
Matthew seemed to be making eye contact with every blade of grass and tree in his 360-degree field of vision.
He saw the Tyrannosaurus rex turn away in disappointment.
He saw the splash caused by the spotted crocodile submerging into the water.
He saw several flying squirrels soaring away from the tree canopy.
He saw a native Jango man standing vigilantly high in a banyan tree, looking this way.
He saw two man-eating flowers fighting fiercely over territory.
He saw several large blue flash butterflies intertwining and dancing near the ground.
He saw a nest of glass frogs, seemingly transparent, patiently waiting for food.
He saw a giant otter rolling over by the river, but accidentally falling into the water.
Ah, the rainforest!
"This is the rainforest."
The humid wind brushed Matthew's face.
He suddenly came back to his senses from that mysterious state.
At this moment, two bright lights came down from above, piercing through the dense branches and leaves.
The first light hit the body of the Wind God Pterosaur, which quickly disappeared without a trace.
The second light hit Matthew.
......
"Prompt: The Spirit of the Rainforest invites you to enter the 'Black Banyan Dreamland'. Do you wish to enter?"
......
Matthew didn't rush to accept the guidance of the Spirit of the Rainforest.
The scenes of his fight with the Wind God Pterosaur were still replaying in his mind.
While the iron was hot, he planned to review the seemingly simple but thrilling battle.
This was Matthew's first time experiencing such an intense fight.
His shock at this moment stemmed from this.
Although the whole process didn't last long, and Matthew seemed to have easily killed the Wind God Pterosaur, the fight between a second-order and a fourth-order was indeed a tough game for the parties involved.
Matthew closed his eyes and focused on reviewing the battle.
Soon, he summarized two key points and one area for reflection.
The first key point was that he successfully caught the Wind God Pterosaur in the form of a Moon Bear.
The Wind God Pterosaur was the ruler of the sky.
Inevitably, it would lose some of the advantages that other fourth-order lords had:
For example, an incredibly vigorous vitality, and a high biological armor.
Matthew speculated.
With the health bars of the Tyrannosaurus rex and the spotted crocodile, even if they stood still and let him stab them, it would take him at least ten minutes to seriously injure them.
What's more terrifying is that if he used ordinary weapons, he might not even be able to break their defense throughout the whole process!
This was thanks to the 'biological armor' that the lord-level giant monsters inherently had.
They were like moving biological fortresses, not only were they destructive, but their skin was also indestructible.
This was a major reason why Matthew never dared to mess with these two.
But the Wind God Pterosaur was different.
The darling of the sky was destined not to have as high a biological armor as the land ruler, which gave Matthew an opportunity.
As early as when they were fighting in the sky, Matthew found that his transformed Moon Bear could break the biological armor of the Pterosaur.
You should know that the biological level of the Moon Bear is LV11.
It can be seen that the Wind God Pterosaur is quite fragile.
Its cautious character probably stems from this. Once it loses air superiority, the Wind God Pterosaur is no different from ordinary third-order monsters.
Nature is still fair.
It gives you some special abilities and takes away others.
In short.
When the Moon Bear rode on the back of the Pterosaur, the outcome of the battle was already determined - the Moon Bear weighed 880 kilograms, while the Wind God Pterosaur only weighed about 550 kilograms. Even with the natural ability to control air currents, the Pterosaur was at a disadvantage in terms of size and weight when the two wrestled in the air.
Its long neck and claws tucked under its belly were not suitable for close combat at all.
It would be the best outcome if it could die together with the Moon Bear.
The second key point was Asiya's reminder.
This prevented Matthew from getting hurt. With the robust physique of the Moon Bear, falling with the Pterosaur would certainly not kill him, but he might be seriously injured.
The damage suffered by the wild form would to some extent reflect back on the main body.
The action of the Moonlight Goddess was undoubtedly better than icing on the cake.
"I owe a small favor."
Although he always kept his guard up against the Moonlight Goddess, Matthew was very principled. He would remember this favor and repay it when the time was right.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Matthew was able to climb onto the back of the Pterosaur in the form of a Moon Bear thanks to the blessing of the goddess.
The transformation without casting delay was just too good!
"Joining the Moonlight Society is indeed valuable."
Matthew concluded with satisfaction.
As for the point worth reflecting on, it was not about Matthew himself, but about his enemy - the Wind God Pterosaur.
Matthew took the enemy as a mirror to reflect on himself.
"If it had been a little calmer at that time, and had probed a little more, the outcome might have been different."
"Of course, this also has a lot to do with the divine assistance of the Spirit of the Rainforest. If it wasn't so eager to attack, I wouldn't have been able to kill it so smoothly."
The tragic end of the Wind God Pterosaur taught Matthew.
First, as long as there is no overwhelming advantage in combat power, it is always right to probe a few more times.
Second, whether in battle or other aspects, always follow your own thinking. If you let others' pointing and drawing disrupt your rhythm, the one who dies in the end will definitely be miserable!
......
Coming back to his senses.
Matthew suddenly found himself being illuminated by eight spotlights.
In the message bar, there were prompts saying, "The Spirit of the Rainforest invites you to enter the 'Black Banyan Dreamland'".
"Well, you're really in a hurry."
Matthew smiled, and before the ninth guiding light came, he chose to agree.
A light feeling came from under Matthew's feet, and then he rose up, turning into bubbles in the light.In the blink of an eye, he arrived in the Black Banyan Dreamland.
The place was filled with gigantic banyan trees, the moist air mixed with a faint heat. Vines hung from the branches of the banyan trees, some of which were covered in small white flowers.
Following the guidance, Matthew made his way through the forest and arrived in front of a towering black banyan tree.
Underneath the tree was an altar.
Above the altar stood a throne made of plant vines and animal skulls.
At this moment, a girl with an impatient look was sitting on the throne. She had fair skin and a youthful face, but her eyes were filled with a murderous aura.
The girl was dressed in clothes woven from leaves. Her legs were slender and well-proportioned, her fair feet and toes were quite eye-catching as they dangled from the throne.
"You're so slow, Necromancer. Hurry up and choose your spoils. This is my gift to you!" The girl's tone was cold.
As her words fell, the phantom images of three miniaturized lord-level monsters appeared on the altar.
A Tyrannosaurus.
A Spotted Giant Crocodile.
A Wind God Pterosaur.
Except for the Wind God Pterosaur, which was in the form of a corpse, the other two were lively. Matthew could even see them moving and foraging.
"Choose one of the three. I guess you probably won't consider other creatures, so I didn't bother bringing them to you."
The girl urged, "Hurry up and choose, don't dawdle. Be a man!"
Matthew's gaze wandered between the Tyrannosaurus and the Spotted Giant Crocodile, his eyes filled with joy.
After hesitating for a while, he finally walked decisively towards the phantom of the Tyrannosaurus.
However, just as his fingers were about to touch the phantom, a strange feeling rose in his heart—
Matthew reacted instantly, retracting his hand like lightning.
He knew that it was a warning from the restraint domain.
"Yes, what right do I have to choose the Tyrannosaurus? I don't even have the courage to face it."
The same was true for the Spotted Giant Crocodile.
Although according to the promise of the Spirit of the Rainforest, he could choose a wild form from any creature that participated in the siege.
But this clearly did not conform to the spirit of the rainforest.
Matthew lifted his eyelids, only to see a smug smirk quickly fading from the girl's face.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and choose!"
The impatience of the Spirit of the Rainforest confirmed Matthew's guess.
With this in mind.
He no longer hesitated, directly bypassing the Tyrannosaurus and the Spotted Giant Crocodile, and reached out to touch the Wind God Pterosaur:
"I choose it!"
The next second, Matthew's fingertips touched the phantom of the Wind God Pterosaur.
A vast memory flooded into his mind.
He saw the blue sky, white clouds, cliffs, gales, and the dense rainforest on the ground, the silver-like rivers, and the Tyrannosaurus rampaging in the jungle.
Then, his perspective sank, a shadow quickly swept over the rainforest, and in an instant, he felt something heavy on his claws.
Matthew looked down.
This novel is available on "pawread.com".
It was a Tyrannosaurus cub.
Soon.
The roar of an adult Tyrannosaurus came from the depths of the rainforest.
However, at this time, the Pterosaur that Matthew was possessing had already spread its wings and disappeared into the sky.
……
「Prompt: You have obtained the Wild Form "Wind God Pterosaur".
Wind God Pterosaur: Prehistoric Species/True Dragon Bloodline (Faint)/Sky Overlord/Wind Descendant.
The Wind God Pterosaur has the ability to dominate the sky, but remember, you are not truly invincible;
The Wind God Pterosaur masters the instinctive spells "Control Airflow" and "Power of Gale";
As a dinosaur of the first generation bloodline, the Wind God Pterosaur is not recognized by true dragons, it may even be despised by dragon species, some dragons will actively hunt dinosaur species, so please stay alert in areas where dragons appear;
Considering your profession level, the creature level of the Wind God Pterosaur you transform into is adjusted to level 12.」
……
Having obtained a new and powerful Wild Form, the Wind God Pterosaur, Matthew was quite satisfied.
He didn't care about the adjustment of the creature level.
The highest level of the Wild Form cannot exceed 4 levels of his own profession, otherwise, it will be restricted.
But as long as Matthew completes the advancement, this problem will naturally be solved.
After making his choice, Matthew looked at the girl on the throne, only to find her puffing her cheeks, looking quite annoyed.
Matthew couldn't help but ask, "What would have happened if I had chosen the Tyrannosaurus just now?"
The girl answered resentfully:
"Of course, a Tyrannosaurus would jump out and fight you to the death! You dream of obtaining its Wild Form without killing a creature of the rainforest yourself!"
Matthew frowned:
"So your previous promise was actually a lie?"
The girl didn't think so:
"Cunning is also a facet of the rainforest. The final selection process is also part of the trial. I've been good enough to you, even letting the Wind God Pterosaur go easy on you. Aren't you satisfied?"
Matthew was somewhat surprised at her words: "Trial?"
"What else? Aren't you undergoing the Wild Trial?" The girl retorted:
"And it's the highest specification domain trial. Although you offended me, I have to admit that you passed the trial successfully. I won't be stingy with your reward. Next, is the domain you desire most."
As she spoke, a green light rose from the throne beneath her and fell onto Matthew's body.
……
「Prompt: You have passed the Wild Trial (Domain Version) of the Spirit of the Rainforest, you have successfully stepped into the sub-domain "Rainforest" of "Nature", and completed a short stay in it.
As a reward for stepping into the domain, you can choose one of the following three abilities—
1. Vigorous Energy (Your energy recovery speed increases by 100%)
2. Master of Creatures (You can instantly gain a large amount of knowledge about rainforest creatures)
3. Gift of the Arrow Frog (Every seven days, you can receive a small amount of poison extract from the rainforest arrow frog)」
……
"So it turns out that I was in a daze just now, seeing so many rainforest creatures, because I entered the domain!"
Matthew suddenly realized.
But soon he was in a dilemma—because he wanted all three options!
Who doesn't love energy?Knowledge of the rainforest is also important!
The poison of the arrow frog suited Matthew's taste.
He hesitated for a moment, then decided to take a bold action.
"Why are you so slow!?"
The girl urged impatiently:
"Just pick one and get out."
However, the next second.
She heard Matthew say seriously:
"I can't make a choice."
The girl snapped:
"Why?"
Matthew said:
"Because I've never initiated a wilderness trial, I'm just a traveler who just entered the rainforest, trying to communicate with you in the most basic way."
The girl was stunned:
"What did you say?"
Matthew calmly explained his encounter, swearing that he had never requested a trial from the Spirit of the Rainforest.
After listening, the girl frowned, her eyes blank:
"Wasn't it you? Then, then... who initiated the trial request to me?"
Matthew smiled:
"That's not important."
"What's important is, it seems you've neglected your duty, throwing a poor person who shouldn't have participated in the brutal wilderness trial to three lord-level monsters—even if you are the Spirit of the Rainforest, it's unacceptable."
The girl was dissatisfied:
"Are you threatening me?"
Matthew shook his head:
"No, it's not a threat, it's just stating the facts."
After that, he took out a blazing gel, dragon oil, and a burning bottle from his bag, and shook them one by one in front of the Spirit of the Rainforest:
"This, is what you call a threat."
......
Ten kilometers away.
In a mysterious cave.
Three Jango natives walked out side by side.
One of them was an elderly rainforest shaman with a face full of paint.
He looked puzzledly into the depths of the rainforest, saying to the tall man next to him:
"Why didn't our ceremony get a response from the Spirit of the Rainforest?"
"Has it really abandoned us?"
