Chapter 517: 517
Li Yao frowned and said, “We have two Druids in the team. One is a balanced type, the other is a fully-upgraded Jin Jin. Whoever is interested in playing as a healer can take this sapling.”
Even though they didn’t know the exact attributes, everyone understood that possessing this sapling is tantamount to having an additional half of an elite profession.
“Guild leader, I think it would be more useful if we keep it in the guild,” said the ever-changing little gem, a balanced Druid.
“I also think it would be a waste to use it on just one person. If the guild had another Ancient Tree of War, that would be something,” Jin Jin said.
“That’s not the point, nor is it as simple as you think. How easy do you think it is to acquire a complete Ancient Tree of War? You’ve seen the guilds in the Ancient Elf area, only a handful of them possess Treants, let alone an Ancient Tree of War. If we complete this task, the guild will gain another powerful healer. Anyone interested?” Li Yao knew the importance of the Ancient Tree of War to a guild, but rules are rules.
“Forget it, I can’t be a healer,” said the ever-changing little gem.
“I’m not interested in being a healer,” Jin Jin also seriously refused.
Li Yao put the Treant away and said, “The Ancient Tree was our set, so I’ll remind you that when we establish a base, you should take on as many Ancient Tree sapling quests as you can. Especially Druids, you will certainly be pleasantly surprised. The Ancient Tree offers lots of great things, and it’s up to you whether you can get it to dish out the good quests.”
The guild members realized the worth of the Ancient Tree, but compared to the massive Ancient Tree made into an Array Altar, the Ancient Tree of War seemed insignificant.
The Ancient Tree boss had so many great items, let alone this one. If they were accidentally favored by the Ancient Tree and received good quests, they would gain a large profit.
Li Yao smiled slightly and asked, “Alright, are there any others, Dondon?”
Dondon continued looting, this time she received a piece of leather armor. Dondon was excited, saying, “Finally, something useful for me, hahaha.”
Nightmare·Nightmare Helmet
Quality: Purple Epic
Material: Leather Armor
Intelligence: 56
Spirit: 55
Stamina: 54
Nightmare Totem: A Shaman can wear it to summon a Nightmare Totem, increasing the effect of all totems by 15% and sprays Nightmare Balls at nearby enemies.
Equipment Requirements: Leather Armor Spell-user professions
Equipment Level: 20
This item can be used by all leather-armor spell users due to its properties, such as a balanced Druid.
However, only a Shaman can make full use of the item’s special effect. Strictly speaking, this totem is also good for a healer, despite spirit not being the primary attribute, but it’s not too far off.
“It’s Dondon’s. Any objections?” Li Yao asked, allocating the item to Dondon.
“La la la la la, I’m happy, let’s continue,” Dondon said.
Then Dondon doled out a piece of tank plate armor and a piece of tank leather armor equipment, putting a satisfactory end to the equipment allocation. Li Jie took the remaining bag of gemstones and gold coins and deposited them in the guild warehouse.
Since they also participated in acquiring these gemstones, those who joined in pioneering the wilderness can enjoy a 10% discount when exchanging points, which made the team members who wanted to set gemstones in the new equipment suddenly active.
Now, gemstones are very expensive, and a 10% discount is not insignificant.
Alright, let’s get back to the Ancient Tree.
Li Yao led the way towards the Ancient Tree.
“I didn’t expect that you guys would really deal with the High Priest, now we can breathe a sigh of relief, and our vitality can recover for a while,” said the Ancient Tree Chieftain in astonishment.
Li Yao said, “So it seems like you need to maintain your barrier. Isn’t the problem solved? As far as I know, Evil Hoof is just a small tribe. We killed so many on the outskirts, there shouldn’t be many left, right?”
“It would be great if that was the case, they used the evil spells of the dream God, and many monsters were created. They are still in the dream, their Chieftain is still leading them, expanding territory in the dream for the nightmare God. With their return and the High Priest’s death, they won’t be able to leave in a short time,” the Ancient Tree Chieftain explained.
“A short while, is the High Priest not dead?” Li Yao asked in surprise.
“His spirit has been cast into the true Nightmare Altar by the God of Nightmare. It is at the depths of the valley, hidden by layers of nightmare barriers. He will be able to resurrect or transform into a nightmare form once some time has passed,” the Ancient Tree answered patiently to every question.
Li Yao frowned and said, “Stop beating around the bush. Tell us, how can we completely solve the problem here? If we don’t solve it, we won’t be able to explain it when we go back.”
The Ancient Tree Chieftain said, “It’s very simple. As long as you return to reality and use the Barrier-Breaking Scroll to open the way, you can reach the real depths of the forest, kill the Chieftain who guards the Nightmare Altar, and destroy the altar. That’s how you can solve the problem here.”
“We just came from the altar, what’s the use of this new altar?” Li Yao asked in confusion.
The Ancient Tree Chieftain looked at Li Yao approvingly and said, “You’re very smart, always able to find the key to the problem. This altar is not an ordinary one, it’s crafted by the God of Nightmare to project its true form. It’s an important medium for the God of Nightmare to return to the real world. As long as this altar exists, the crisis here will never disappear.”
Li Yao asked, “So to eliminate the Evil Hoof Chieftain this time is not in a dream?”
The Ancient Tree said, “Not exactly, to evade enemies in the dream and also to limit our power, they have returned to the primary plane. You can exchange for some Barrier-Breaking Scrolls, head in the direction behind me, and you’ll easily find the Chieftain’s location.”
“I see, thank you.” After thinking for a bit, Li Yao exchanged some more items with the remaining crystal cores.
After saying goodbye to the Ancient Tree Chieftain, Li Yao took out a skill book and gave it to the Fruit Knight, Da Vinci, and Li Jie, saying, “These skills are good. If you learn them, they can greatly increase the power of the team.”
All three of them received an aura skill. Once learned and used, it could provide the team with a boost.
When the Fruit Knight’s aura was activated, the healing received by the team and himself increased by 10%. Da Vinci’s aura skill increased the team’s HP and MP recovery speed.
Li Jie’s then, was an aura that increased the casting solitude. The combination of the three auras could indeed enhance the overall strength of the team. They were all convinced by Li Yao’s decision.
“Now, let’s rest and adjust for an hour, you can move around freely. After an hour, come online, and we’ll have the final boss battle,” Li Yao said.
“Didn’t that tree say that the High Priest is not dead yet?” The cute and silly Dondon sat down next to Li Yao to rest…
