Chapter 12: Harvest, Conquer
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"Woah! Woah woah!"
Just as all the creatures with human heads and beast bodies lowered their heads to drink water, the goblins suddenly rushed out from the bushes. They screamed as they rushed towards the creatures that were drinking water.
The creatures with human heads and beast bodies were frightened and let out terrifying shrieks. A milky white ball flew out from their bellies. After producing the ball, they quickly ran away.
The goblins cheered and scrambled to pick up the milky white ball from the ground. While screaming, they carried the ball away from the mountain spring.
"These goblins are quite smart. They know how to scare these creatures and make them abandon their limbs to escape. Sister Wei, let's try it next time?"
"Let's go and see if the goblins have left. If they go far, we'll go down to replenish some water and kill some wild boars while we're at it. We'll set up a small stronghold here. Xiao Qian, Bury your Teleportation Fruit and we'll teleport back here later."
"Alright, Sister Wei."
Xuebang Xiaowei led the team down the tree slowly. After checking that there was no danger in the surroundings, they immediately began to deploy defensive fortifications to obtain water resources.
Xiaowei used the kettle she picked up to fill up a jar full of water and poured it into her stomach.
"It feels so comfortable to be able to replenish water at any time."
"Sister Wei, we're only one to two kilometers away from that small village. It's only noon now. Should we take a break and go in in the afternoon?"
"I think so too. Everyone, take turns to rest."
After planting the Teleportation Fruit, Xiao Qian also came to the spring. After drinking two mouthfuls of spring water, she suddenly realized that there were many blue crystals in the spring.
Xiao Qian picked up a crystal and put it in front of her.
[Spring Crystal]
[Effect: Can add a small stream to the manor.]
"Sister Wei! I found something good! There are crystals here that can add a stream to the manor!"
They were all excited. They all knew the effect of water on the Divine Tree. They would not give up if there was a way to get water.
One of them quickly took out a large number of crystals from the mountain spring. Xiaowei looked at the crystals in her pocket and thought of Constantine.
'I wonder if I can get more Energy Fruits from him if I use this thing?'
"Sister Wei, we have made the hard work of these days worth it. Our Divine Trees can grow quickly now."
Xiaowei frowned slightly.
"Although we have earned back all these days of suffering from the spring water, our goal is not limited to this. Everyone, take a break. We will continue to move towards the small village."
"No problem, Sister Wei."
Just as [Xuebang Xiaowei] and the others were happy with the results they had obtained, John brought the troops to the small transport station.
Although it was called a transport station, it was actually a small watchtower. Four arrow towers were set up around the watchtower, and a few archers were yawning while standing on the arrow towers.
"There are a total of ten humanoid creatures. They are armed with iron weapons, and their attack power is limited. We have yet to find a machine that can communicate with others."
John stretched out its hand and moved it up and down, quickly coming up with a battle plan.
"Every thirty-five people attack an arrow tower. The rest of you rush into the bunker and clear out the enemies inside, leaving one or two alive."
"No sound is allowed to escape this operation. Move out."
"Roger roger."
One hundred and forty B1 Battle Droids surrounded the arrow tower and waited for orders. The other B1 Battle Droids also gathered near the entrance of the tower, waiting for the right time.
John raised the blaster gun in its hand and aimed at the enemy standing on the top of the tower.
"Steady, steady, go!"
The red laser bullet instantly shot through the head of the archers on the tower, and the battle started.
The red laser bullet almost instantly shattered the four arrow towers, and the archers were instantly smashed into pieces.
"I like to shoot at fixed targets like this."
Hundreds of B1 Battle Droids rushed into the arrow towers. After the screams of humans and the sound of laser bullets being fired, the arrow towers quieted down. In less than a minute, the B1 Battle Droids had taken over the arrow towers. John stood at the top of the arrow tower and looked at the surrounding scenery.
"I think the Commander would like such a scene."
[Ding! Your subordinates have occupied the Transportation Station!]
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining your first territory in the Otherworld!]
Cole immediately sat up from his bed after hearing the two notifications.
"What? My subordinates have occupied a territory?"
[Yes, your deeds will be sent to all members participating in the Divine Tree Project, and you will be provided with reward resources.]
"Hey! I haven't agreed yet!"
The next second, a mechanical voice sounded from the sky above the manor.
"Congratulations, Tree Master: Constantine, for snatching the first piece of land in the Otherworld: Transportation Station."
"Congratulations, Tree Master: Constantine, for snatching the first piece of land in the Otherworld: Transportation Station."
"Congratulations, Tree Master: Constantine, for snatching the first piece of land in the Otherworld: Transportation Station."
"Reward: Teleportation Ability, Rain can be specified (Once)"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh! There's actually a big shot who has taken over the Otherworld's territory!"
"I'm finally able to hold my head high!"
"Big Shot Constantine is awesome!"
"I announce that I am now his fan!"
"Big shot is just too awesome!"
"I want to form a team with him!"
[Fairy Tales Are All Lies], who was picking the fruit, also heard this message. His eyebrows twitched violently.
"Big Boss Constantine is really too fierce. He can actually occupy territory in the Otherworld. He's too awesome. I have to have a good relationship with him."
[Fairy Tales Are All Lies] looked at the Special Ability Fruit in his hand and shook it.
"The Special Ability Fruit should be given to Lord Constantine first. He should need this fruit very much."
[Fairy Tales Are All Lies] clicked on the name at the top of his friend list, [Constantine].
He thought carefully for a while and sent a message.
"Lord, are you back in the manor now?"
Cole was studying how to use the teleportation ability when he saw the message from [Fairy Tales Are All Lies].
"I'm back. What's the matter?"
"My Divine Tree has produced a new fruit. Do you need it?"
"Sure."
[[Fairy Tales Are All Lies] sent a trade invitation to you.]
[Commodity: Doppelganger Fruit]
[Attribute: Ability Fruit]
[Effect: After consuming it, you can create a doppelganger. The number of doppelgangers varies according to the amount of energy in your body. Their strength is no different from the original body.]
Cole took a deep breath.
This fruit was very important to him. After using it, he could send his clone and the B1 Battle Droids to explore the Otherworld together. He did not need to use the Shared Fruit to share John's body to explore the Otherworld anymore.
