Chapter 372 The Truth Behind the Odd-Numbered Day Changes

…

"Yes, yes!"

There was a flurry of chatter coming from behind.

Matthew looked back and suddenly realized that the people he was talking to were a group of light fairies!

Most of these light demons only have a round basic form, and their voices are like those of a doll, childish and cute.

"me?"

He made such a sound in his heart, but found that he could not "speak" at all.

However, the light fairy beside him seemed to understand the confusion in Matthew's eyes.

She said lively:

"Of course it's you!"

"You are the designated guardian of the Wind of Life. The guardian of Chiming Mountain has been vacant for too long, and we have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Have you forgotten? When you were still in the gourd, we poured a lot of water on you every day!"

Said.

She dragged Matthew to the side, where there was a brown gourd vine with many gourds on it.

The largest of them had fallen to the ground, the gourd split in the middle.

There was still a puddle of water on the ground.

Matthew stepped forward and found that he had also turned into a light fairy, but his size was much larger than the other little light monsters!

The moment I saw the gourd.

A sudden realization came to his mind.

This is Matthew's incarnation in the sea of ​​trees of all realms - a special light demon that just climbed out of the gourd!

The area nearby is called "Chiming Mountain".

The guardian of Chiming Mountain has always been vacant, as if to follow a certain rule, only those who have broken into the realm of life have the opportunity to qualify for this position.

The prerequisite is that you can pass the guardian's trial.

If Matthew or others do not enter the realm of life, the position of guardian will remain vacant.

The light fairies might find someone else to negotiate with Alester.

But no matter when you come in.

There will definitely be tasks matching the difficulty of this trial waiting for potential guardians to complete.

"interesting."

After figuring all this out, Matthew felt relaxed.

He is just a light demon now, and the wind of life cannot arrange for him to kill the giant beast.

That would be outrageous!

"Don't keep Alister waiting too long!"

The light demon who spoke first, with a milky voice, urged again:

"She is also a very shy guy. Because of her shyness, she usually doesn't show up much."

"We finally waited for the opportunity for her to show up, and you just happened to show up at this time!"

"Hurry and give these things to Alister and express our gratitude to her on our behalf. Don't be nervous. Although you can't speak yet, you will definitely find a way to communicate with Alister in a while!"

Said.

The group of light fairies nearby flew over carrying a fruit basket.

A light fragrance overflows from the fruit basket.

Matthew couldn't tell what was inside, but his intuition told him that every fruit inside was at least rare and rare!

Matthew's eyes flashed with surprise.

Just at this time.

He could feel his body undergoing drastic changes——

As a light demon.

He actually grew limbs and a head. At this moment, he looked like a shining elf, and his eyes were extremely bright.

"Wow, that's amazing. Sure enough, the light demon born from the gourd is different!"

"I envy those who have arms and legs. Unlike us, we are short and can only do a little work."

"Look, he only used one hand to lift the fruit basket that all of us could lift together. He is indeed a very powerful light demon. I believe he will become the guardian of Chiming Mountain. !”

Listening to the chattering discussion of the Fairy of Light gave Matthew a headache.

He subconsciously took the fruit basket.

The light demon, who was making a milky sound, put a pair of small, glowing wings on Matthew's back.

Just for a moment.

The wings merged with Matthew, and then suddenly grew longer and larger, and could blow up strong winds with a slight shake.

He looked at the water stains on the ground again.

"I look like an angel now..."

Matthew is satisfied with his current appearance.

Even more satisfying.

His face is almost exactly the same as his real body in the material world. Combined with the clone's special light fairy form, it has a thrilling beauty!

"You are really good-looking, but I see that your eyes are stupid, as if you have forgotten everything."

The light demon with a milky voice carried Matthew towards the cliff, and warned as he walked:

"Aleister is a good partner of the sea of ​​trees in all realms."

"She is one of the super creatures that walked out of the sea of ​​trees, and one of the few willing to come back to help."

"She came back this time to clean up the red pine trees and primitive oak trees in the plain area. They grow too fast, and the group consciousness formed by clumping together resists any degree of suppression. Even tree shepherds use them. There is no way."

"If they are allowed to develop like this, the Green Forest will be completely occupied by them, and the precious life energy contained there will also be completely drained away. By then, the Green Forest and our Chiming Mountain may face a crisis. A whole new generation of creatures will collapse, and may even be regarded as a blighted area by the wind of life, and eventually be forced to leave the sea of ​​trees in all realms..."

"Fortunately, Alister is willing to come and help. She can easily take down all those crazy trees."

"Of course, during this period, she may cause some damage to the forest or species here. After all, her body is too huge, and the slightest movement may destroy the world."

"But overall, Aleister's willingness to help is great news for the Sea of ​​Trees and Chiming Mountain!"

Matthew nodded.

Aleister is actually a partner of the Sea of ​​Trees of All Worlds!

This is different from what was revealed in the Myth of the Traveler.

Now that I think about it.

That guy is probably misleading me.

Fortunately, I didn't cooperate with him in depth!

At the moment.

Matthew came to the edge of the cliff with a fruit basket.

Encouraged by other light monsters, he shook his wings suddenly and flew down!

The feeling of flying freely in the sea of ​​trees is quite wonderful.

Especially for Matthew, who had just experienced the undead disaster full of haze.

This is simply a baptism of the soul!

As far as the naked eye can see.

The sea of ​​trees and the sea of ​​clouds blend together, and the sky and the earth are bright.

The glow reflected between the clouds looked like mountains and peaks, or like a multifaceted gem shining brightly.

The sky was cool and the air was fresh.

It seemed as if it had just rained, the breeze brushing against the ears and nose was sweet, and the faint white clouds were clean.

Matthew flew over a sea of ​​clouds.

At the other end of the sea of ​​clouds was a huge hill.

A group of little flying pigs stumbled down the hillside.

They were a group of newly born flying pig babies.

Not far away.

The mother flying pig was showing them how to fly in the sea of ​​clouds.

A cockscomb dragon was hiding in the bushes under the hillside.

Judging from his size, he might not be able to beat the mother flying pig, but stealing one or two flying pig cubs would not be a problem.

However, before he could make any move.

A dark shadow that covered the sky and the sun enveloped the sand dunes.

A fierce wind blew in his face -

A wind god pterosaur swooped down like the god of death, and then flew high again.

The flying piglets fled in panic.

Some of them even mastered the ability to fly directly in this crisis.

Matthew counted them.

There was not a single flying pig missing on the hillside.

Then he looked up.

Oh my goodness, the pterosaur in the claws of the wind god pterosaur was the cockscomb dragon that wanted to attack!

This wind god pterosaur was much larger than Matthew's wilderness form.

It was also very imposing.

Matthew flapped his wings and wanted to leave quickly, but not long after, the terrifying sky wind hit again, and the wind god pterosaur went and came back!

"Are you going to find Alistair?"

"You are flying too slowly like this, let me take you a way!"

"Remember, my name is Chum, if you become the guardian of Chiming Mountain, you must remember that I have helped you!"

The voice of the wind god pterosaur sounded in Matthew's ears.

Without waiting for Matthew to answer.

A hot air current pushed his body violently into the distance.

Matthew flew hundreds of miles in one breath!

In an instant.

He flew over a towering primitive oak tree.

The crown of the oak tree was condensed with a white crown like a snow mountain.

Below was a large waterfall that fell vertically.

When flying over the waterfall.

Matthew saw a group of dolphin-like creatures playing in the waterfall.

A Pegasus stepped across the sky, and then stopped gracefully in the pool formed below the waterfall to drink water.

A group of cranes flew around Matthew for a while.

Then.

The crane's head signaled Matthew to sit on his back, and the cranes took Matthew and flew more than a hundred miles away.

The two sides parted ways on a floating island.

In the sky not far away.

Two huge figures were fighting fiercely.

Matthew looked closely.

They were two giant bird creatures.

One of them was a giant griffin, and the other one looked a bit like the legendary phoenix, but its feathers looked a bit like a peacock, probably a hybrid.

The giant griffin and the hybrid phoenix wrestled tit-for-tat.

They seemed to be fighting for something on a bright yellow tree.

Matthew flew carefully through the clouds below them.

Not long after.

A small black shadow fell from above.

Because the distance was not far, Matthew took it subconsciously.

He took it in his hand and looked at it.

It was an apple with a crack!

There was a little saliva on the crack.

…

"Hint: You got the broken golden apple and the saliva of the hybrid phoenix (a small amount)!"

…

Matthew's heart was pounding.

He grabbed the apple and flew all the way, and flew for more than ten minutes before arriving at a small black island.

Aleister's body is really too big.

Most of the time, her body parts are acting according to instinct.

Therefore, according to the light demon, if you want to meet and talk to it, you have to find the "perception area" of the giant beast.

The perception area is the only area where the giant beast can establish a connection with the tiny life.

Different giant beasts have different perception areas, and their area size and related number are also different.

Aleister is already the most talkative among the giant beasts.

Her dorsal fin is the sensing area, which is quite large.

Matthew is now at the edge of Aleister's dorsal fin.

He wanted to find a way to establish a connection with the giant beast, but as soon as he landed, a gentle and somewhat shy voice sounded in his mind:

"You are here?"

"You are much prettier than I thought!"

"I like you very much."

Matthew was stunned.

He glanced at the data column, and sure enough, the ability "Equivalent Charm" was shining!

Matthew was certain.

It seems that his charm has taken effect, and Aleister has a good first impression of him.

This will help both parties to have a deeper communication.

But he still didn't know how to talk to the giant beast, so he looked around.

Not long after.

Matthew saw a bunch of yellow silver grass on the ground that glowed from time to time.

It is called silver grass.

The material is more like the...hair on the body of the giant beast?

Following some kind of induction, Matthew walked over and grabbed one of the silver grasses. In just a moment, he could feel that his heart was connected to a vast ocean!

"Heh...you came in."

Aleister said shyly:

"Be gentle, I'm ticklish."

Matthew slightly loosened his hand holding the silver grass.

It was his first time talking to such a huge creature, so he was a little nervous and made small talk:

"This connection method is really strange."

Aleister said gently:

"Everything is for safety."

"If I open my mouth to speak, the entire Ten Thousand Worlds Sea of ​​Trees will hear my voice, and you may faint instantly. The material world will cause earthquakes, and as for the astral world, it is more likely to be affected by the astral tides and void storms."

"That would be a huge disaster, so I haven't really spoken in many years."

Matthew asked in surprise:

"Do you care about these?"

Aleister asked back:

"Why not?"

"I was not born into this world to cause trouble."

"On the contrary, I realized a long time ago that I must be cautious in treating this piece of space outside the void, which is one of the few spaces that can accommodate me. ”

Matthew complimented:

“It would be nice if all the behemoths thought like you.”

“I’ve heard people say that after the odd-numbered day changes, it’s the era of behemoths. I wonder what the world will be like at that time.”

Alister’s tone was always gentle, but this time the answer contained a hint of blame:

“You are not a behemoth, how do you know that other behemoths think differently from me?”

“And the era of behemoths that you humans understand may not be the same as what we understand ourselves.”

“Each behemoth is the essence of the universe. We have wisdom close to the upper-middle level of humans, but we often see farther than humans.”

“I think all behemoths know that if they destroy the surrounding civilization or environment at will, this will lead to the end of this era ahead of time, which is very disadvantageous to us.”

Matthew heard such a statement for the first time.

He immediately asked:

"Why do you say that?"

Aleister replied:

"We were born in this universe, so we naturally have our own pursuits."

"Even for this pursuit, we will not destroy everything at will."

"Of course, it is also for the pursuit. In the future, fighting between giant beasts may be commonplace."

"For you natives, the aftermath of our battle may be devastating. For this, I can only say that this is an unchangeable constant and a disaster destined for this world...or, opportunity."

Pursuit?

Opportunity?

Matthew instantly caught the point:

"What are you pursuing?"

"What is the opportunity you are talking about?"

Aleister did not answer him directly.

Instead, he told a little story:

"Do you know how the great demon was born?"

"Every great demon, in its earliest form of life, was a demon egg."

"The abyss mother buried the demon eggs on the endless Death Beach. At a certain season, the demon eggs will hatch into little demons. The little demons fight each other, then grow and evolve. In the end, only a very small number of little demons on each beach can accumulate enough nutrients and eventually evolve into great demons."

"But even so, they are not out of danger."

"The Death Beach is located between the cracks in the abyss. There is nothing there except the poisonous Abyss Sea, the steep cliffs and the barren beach."

"The newborn great demons only have a pair of very weak wings, and they can't fly away from the Death Beach."

"For Therefore, they can only wait. "

"Wait for an unusual gale to blow on the sea of ​​the abyss. This kind of gale often only occurs once every few years, maybe once every five years, maybe once every seven years, or even once every twenty years."

"Many great demons will starve to death on the beach before the gale arrives."

"And the lucky ones who wait for the gale will ride the wind on the right day, and eventually fly out of the rift and become a member of the ruling class in the abyss!"

"At that time, a great demon will be honored as a demon lord and have the corresponding power!"

"And we, the behemoths in the eyes of you humans, are just bigger demons."

"The vast and huge world of Aindo in your eyes is like a death beach that traps the great demon in our eyes."

"We have been waiting for that gust of wind since we were born."

"Some behemoths even entered the void world to ensure that they can live until the arrival of that gust of wind."

"And now, that gust of wind is very close to us..."

Matthew suddenly realized:

"Odd-numbered changes?"

Aleister said softly:

"Yes."

Matthew was a little shocked and relieved.

He didn't expect that the odd-numbered changes would mean this to the behemoths!

That was not a sign that the behemoths were about to dominate the world.

It was the horn of their departure from this world!

"No wonder no one can explain the cause behind the odd-numbered changes..."

"This level is too high for humans, even gods."

"Perhaps only the original Scourge Mage is qualified to discuss this topic with the behemoths on an equal footing."

Matthew calmed down.

Aleister was unlikely and unnecessary to deceive himself.

If the behemoths really left.

They are not a big threat to Eindor.

But Aleister also said.

Before leaving, the behemoths will fight among themselves, just like the little demons fighting each other for the quota of the big demon.

The number of giant beasts is probably more than Matthew imagined.

And the number of people who can "leave this world by riding the wind" is probably limited.

The solution is of course the law of the jungle.

And in the meantime.

What this world will be like, I'm afraid no one can predict!

"Why are you willing to tell me this?"

Matthew asked.

Alistair replied:

"I hope to gain the recognition of the will of the plane, specifically, the recognition of the Sea of ​​Trees of All Worlds, which is why I am willing to help you clean up these excess trees."

"Because the giant beasts come to this world, they are outsiders and will be rejected by the power of the original world. In this case, if we can gain the recognition of some planes and form an alliance with some local forces in Aindo, then our actions may be much more convenient."

"I want to sign a covenant with you. This covenant will bind the fate of you, me and Chi Mingshan together."

"For you and Chi Mingshan, I will be your most loyal partner. Believe me, in the next era, it is a very fortunate thing to have a giant beast partner who comes early."

"For me, binding your fate and camp can allow me to integrate into this world faster, so that I can plan the resources I want to pursue earlier. Source."

"These resources are useless to you humans, but for us they are hope for leaving."

Matthew thought for a while:

"Is it just Chiming Mountain?"

"Don't you consider forming an alliance with people in the material world?"

Aleister replied:

"Material world? That won't work, it's not a place I can interfere with."

"You don't know that the Whale of the Void Fenrir and the Lord of the Void Yukrus have long been eyeing that piece of land."

"Do you know them? They are real behemoths, the kings of giant beasts."

"After they made harsh remarks in the void, except for some tough characters, almost no other giant beasts dared to attack the material world."

"In my opinion, the fate of the main material world has long been doomed - anything that is favored by Fenrir and Yukrus at the same time will eventually end in destruction."

"Similar things have been staged countless times in the void, for many years, without exception."

Hearing this.

Matthew's heart sank.

Aleister sensed this keenly:

"You are not just the guardian of Chiming Mountain, right?"

Matthew nodded sincerely:

"In fact, I just became the guardian here."

"Before this, I was a human mage in the main material world."

Aleister said with some regret:

"I'm sorry, I also want to take one or two pieces of land in the main material world, but this is not up to me."

"If the area where you live is not large, I can swallow it into my stomach or put it on my back."

"But I can't guarantee more places. After all, if I carry too much land, I will feel a little tired."

Matthew understood this.

Aleister's attitude is already quite good.

Perhaps this is the result of the guardian of Chiming Mountain and the equivalent charm taking effect at the same time.

The two talked for a while.

Afterwards.

Matthew handed the fruit basket to Aleister.

Aleister was quite satisfied with the offerings of the light demons.

Afterwards, Matthew signed a contract with them in the name of the guardian of Chiming Mountain.

The way of signing the contract is also very simple.

Matthew found a kind of red leaves from the forest below, and then found a kind of white stone in the cave next to the big waterfall.

He used the stone to write on the leaves, writing out the contents of the contract bit by bit.

Then he threw the contract into the fire.

And sprinkled the burnt ashes into the waterfall -

The leaves represent wind.

The stones represent the earth.

Fire is fire.

The waterfall is also water.

From then on, under the witness of the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water, the partnership contract between Matthew, the guardian of Chiming Mountain, and the giant beast Aleister was officially signed.

...

"Hint: You have obtained two new titles "Guardian of Chiming Mountain" and "Behemoth Partner".

Chiming Mountain Guardian: You have the obligation to protect the safety of Chiming Mountain and maintain the peace of Chiming Mountain. In return, you can collect limited resources in the mountain, and the creatures here will also help you to a certain extent.

When your prestige is high enough, you can even summon the creatures of Chiming Mountain to other planes to fight for you.

Behemoth Partner: You become Alistair's partner. When you are in danger, you can shout her name, and she will respond to your call according to the situation.

The more harmonious the relationship between you, the higher the probability that she will respond to you.

The probability of receiving a response to the current call (100%)"

...

After signing the contract.

Matthew returned to Chiming Mountain and told the light monsters about it, and the light monsters cheered.

Then he felt weak.

With the knowledge brought by the title of Chiming Mountain Guardian.

Matthew found the cracked gourd, put it in a corner and put it together, and then he controlled his body to drill in.

A comfortable feeling came spontaneously.

The next second.

Matthew's consciousness returned to his body!

He looked up and looked around.

A gray area.

All that came into view was the miserable scene brought by the undead disaster, which formed a sharp contrast with the vigorous scene of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sea of ​​Trees.

But Matthew had no likes or dislikes in his heart.

Life and death had different beauty in his eyes.

Without death as a foil.

How could life be beautiful?

He looked at it and found that he had two ways to return to the Ten Thousand Worlds Sea of ​​Trees. One was to use the ability brought by the title of the Guardian of Chiming Mountain, which could directly use part of his consciousness to descend on the light demon in the gourd.

The other way was to transform into a holy deer, and at a specific time point, he could directly cross over in his physical body!

Both methods had their own advantages and disadvantages.

However, if conditions permitted, Matthew still planned to transform into a deer.

After all, he couldn't bring anything out with the first method.

For example, the broken golden apple before was hidden in the gourd by Matthew.

"After this battle, I will take some time to pick up some local specialties in the sea of ​​trees..."

Matthew secretly made up his mind.

There are countless rare treasures in the Ten Thousand Worlds Sea of ​​Trees, many of which are priceless in the material world.

"With the title of the Guardian of Chi Ming Mountain, I shouldn't have to worry about money anymore, right?"

Thinking so.

Matthew's steps as he inspected Tyrannosaurus Town became lighter.

Eight hours later.

More cemeteries were successfully established.

A small cemetery group has appeared in the center of Tyrannosaurus Town.

It won't be long.

This place can be renamed Cemetery Town.

But Matthew was not very happy-

The news has been out for a while, and the distance is not far, but the Star Gate has been built for half a day, and no one came to buy tickets.

This made Matthew feel very embarrassed.

These creatures in the Star Realm obviously don't trust the credit of the Necromancer.

There is no way.

Matthew can only help them!

Two hours later.

In a lake not far from Crescent Moon Mountain.

Matthew, driving an invisible ball, quietly came to the center of the lake.

He sank to the bottom of the lake.

Then he erected a teleportation tombstone there.

Not long after.

Ghouls came out one after another.

These ghouls were full of strong corpse poison.

It won't be long.

The lake water will be completely polluted.

And the lower reaches of this lake water flow through Crescent Mountain, which is one of the main sources of drinking water for that city.

Therefore, it won't be long before the astral creatures of Crescent Mountain can drink pure ghoul-flavored drinks.

At this moment.

Matthew ordered the ghouls to squat in the water and not go anywhere.

To be on the safe side.

He threw a large basket of poisonous mushrooms he got from Dudley into the water.

"Will the dosage be insufficient?"

Matthew stood on the shore, frowning. He looked at the lake water, which had not changed much color, and said to Peggy:

"How about I build a ritual field here to strengthen the plague and toxins?"

"I have a plague field anyway."

Peggy hesitated:

"Matthew, is it inappropriate for you to do this?"

Matthew smiled faintly:

"It's okay."

"There is an old saying in my hometown - when someone calls you mean, you'd better be really mean."

Peggy shook her head:

"No."

"What I mean is, grinding the poisonous mushrooms into powder and throwing them in will have a better effect..."

...
