Chapter 731 The Way of the Wild

"I think we can't convince the other party in this regard. Why don't we make a bet?" Gavin thought for a long time and finally came up with a compromise.

"Bet? We won't use the forest as a bet." The King of the Xierminster Forest Elves, who sat opposite Gavin, said stubbornly.

Although Gavin couldn't convince the other party, his series of natural identities still had some effect, at least they didn't launch an attack at the beginning. After confirming that Gavin had no intention of solving the problem between them by force, they took the initiative to emerge from the forest and invited him into their camp.

Although the other party called himself the King of Elves, he was actually just the leader of a green elf tribe with less than a thousand people. His name was Benavides Artur, a young elf who looked no more than 30 years old, but he had been active in Xierminster Forest for more than two hundred years.

It was because he arrived at their camp and saw their living environment clearly that Gavin completely gave up and stopped trying to convince them with words.

The way of nature advocated by this green elf tribe is not just talk, but integrated into their words and deeds. There are no stone buildings here, not even the tree houses of the elves. There are only short and narrow animal skin tents that can only accommodate a few people to sleep in.

All the daily necessities are gifts from the forest. To put it nicely, it is simple, but to put it bluntly, it is almost the same as the primitive tribe.

Even the clothes on their bodies are pitifully few. Only natural materials such as animal skins and leaves are used to wrap the important parts of the body. There are various totem tattoos on the exposed dark brown skin of the body.

Even Gavin, who is not particularly interested in totem tattoos, can't help but praise them when he sees that they have perfectly integrated into their daily life and body.

The totem tattoos of the green elves are not just art, but have risen to the level of magic.

They have a kind of magic called totem magic, which is painted on the body or objects to create temporary or permanent spell effects.

Therefore, the totem tattoos on their bodies are not just simple tattoos, but also have various magical effects.

The druids produced by the wild elves are the best wild druids in Faerun.

Not only can they transform into various animals and plants that ordinary druids can transform into, they can also break the professional restrictions and transform into one or several powerful species and existences that are not within the scope of druid transformation-a complete transformation.

Not only do they have the appearance and power of the transformed object, but they also have their innate supernatural and special abilities.

Take Gavin's super-transformation for example, he can imitate Shanoba's transformation into her dragon transformation, but it is only the appearance. There is no dragon toxin in his tail sting, and there is no way to use strong acid dragon breath.

Unless he can use advanced super-transformation, he can imitate it 100%, but that is a ninth-level psychic power, which requires Gavin's psychic warlock professional level to reach eighteenth level to perform.

The same is true for druids, while wild elf druids break this limitation, but it is limited to the kind depicted by their totem tattoos, just like a unique specialization.

Many legends about druids being in a wild transformation state for a long time, and eventually not returning to human form, and choosing to live with those animal tribes, mostly come from wild elf druids.

As for the number of totem tattoos, in addition to talent, it is mainly related to the professional level. When the professional level is raised, you can choose additional totem tattoos.

"The chief is too arbitrary. You didn't even listen to my bet. How can you conclude that I am using the forest as a bet?" Gavin replied bluntly.

A man is strong without desire. When he was sure that he could not get anything from the Sealmister Forest, his attitude immediately became tough. I am not your father, why should I spoil you?

"Since it has nothing to do with the forest, why don't you tell me?" Benavides' attitude softened a little.

The extreme attitude of the wild elves is mainly focused on the use of forest resources. As long as it does not involve the forest, they are relatively mild, at least in their attitude towards Gavin. Although they believe in Rillifane, the relationship between the elven gods and the human natural gods is good, and they still have to respect Mielikki.

In fact, he still attaches great importance to Gavin's visit this time, otherwise he would have directly driven him out of the forest with bows and claws at the beginning.

"We use the trees of the Xilminster Forest as the boundary. I will restrict my people from stepping into the forest, and the clan leader will restrict his own people from threatening my people with any harm outside the forest, including the hobgoblins of Blood Gorge City and the kobolds of Colossus City.

I will develop and transform the forest in my own way outside the Xilminster Forest. If we plant trees in the surrounding area, you cannot include them in your forest. We will have absolute control, and we will have the final say on whether to continue to grow or cut down.

You continue to protect the forest in your own way.

Let time prove whether my balanced development method is more beneficial to nature, or whether your inflexible protection method is correct."

Since there is no way to reach a cooperation agreement with the elves in Xilminster Forest, Gavin can only settle for the second best and reach a friendly agreement acceptable to both parties, at least to ensure that the relationship does not deteriorate further, so that the racial hatred between the hobgoblins and the elves will not destroy his overall plan.

It is nothing more than abandoning some of the natural resources from Schilminster Forest.

Generally speaking, it will have little impact on the development of Blood Gap City and Colossus City. After all, Gavin is not planning to cut down trees on a large scale here.

Not only are we not prepared to do it here, we are also not prepared to do it elsewhere.

His eyes are mainly focused on dark forests and trees that were previously contaminated by the roots of the gods. The use of this kind of wood would have to be approved by the more extreme naturalist protectors.

Because this is not only the process of cutting down trees, but also purifying nature. Only by completely removing the dark power here can new trees be planted and the forest heal itself.

The Mother Dragon Oak Tree is about to enter an attack state and declare war on the dark forces in the Fairy Wilderness. In the process, it will be easy to acquire a large amount of dark wood.

Benavidez's rigid face finally showed a smile and said: "Master Leader, you told me earlier, if you had made this point clear from the beginning, things would not be much simpler. As long as Master Leader ensures that your people We will no longer enter the forest on a large scale without authorization and bring damage and threats to this place. We will naturally follow the path of peace.”

Although their attitude towards protecting the forest is tough and extreme, they are not crazy yet.

At least they didn't jump out to intercept the conquerors' army when they were building a road along the outside of Schilminster Forest.

When aiming the bow and arrow at the goblins in Blood Gorge City, he exercised great restraint and did not aim the arrow at the core goblins in Blood Gorge City. Even when dealing with those goblin servants, he mainly drove them away and did not harm their lives. .

By the time they reacted, the number of hobgoblins and goblins in Blood Gap City had reached a terrifying number. Once an all-out war really broke out, their beloved forest would be the ultimate victim.

Their main intention is to attract the attention of the other party who can make decisions and clarify their attitude to reach an agreement.

"Then we will follow the ancient law and set up stones as boundaries outside the Schilminster Forest so that everyone can clearly know where the boundaries are. I hope that next time there is a dispute, it will be resolved through negotiation instead of force.

Although there is a long history of racial resentment between elves and goblins, it has not yet arisen between Silminster Forest and Blood Gap City. At this point, we have shown enough sincerity and restraint. If the next cause is You, we will reserve the right to fight back. "

Gavin also took the opportunity to express his attitude and warned the elves of Silminster Forest not to try to do whatever they wanted under the guise of protecting the forest. If they went too far, they would not be polite.

"As long as they abide by today's agreement, something like this will never happen again." Benavidez promised, "Now that the official business is over, we can talk about private matters. I feel the totem spirit in you. The breath should be the plundering bear that Maura, the god of hunting, tried to seize from Uthgar. If you can offer it to Rillifan, I believe that the Lord of Leaves will give you a divine blessing."

The Beast Worship Cult cannot be considered a pantheon because it does not have a main god. Many of them are not even gods, but can only be regarded as quasi-gods or divine beings.

But it does not prevent it from being watched by many people, because it belongs to primitive worship and has a very wide reputation among lycanthropes, primitives, and druids who advocate wild transformation.

As the spokesperson of the wild elves and the guardian of totem magic, Rillifane, the patron saint of wild elves, also has a peep at animal worship.

He successively fused the original spirit of Magnar, a bear, and Rika, the original spirit of tree people, in Youmulin. As his divine incarnation and appearance, he gained a certain popularity among the half-elves and wood elves there.

Naturally, he has a keen eye for the spirit of Gavin’s blue bear totem.

"Aren't you afraid of causing a conflict between the Leaf Lord and the Battle Father?" Gavin took the opportunity to inquire about the information. At the same time, he also felt the preciousness of the blue bear totem soul. This was a treasure that even a medium-level god was concerned about.

"Failed to guard the blue bear and was corrupted and plundered by the God of Hunting. This is the responsibility of the Father of Battle. From that moment on, the blue bear is no longer exclusive to him. Now that you have taken it back, the ownership rights are In your hand, you may sacrifice it to any god associated with it, and the Battle Father has no right to hold it accountable.”

Benavidez explained patiently, "You don't have to make a decision in a hurry. We can lead you to experience the wild ways of the Leaf Lord. He is the most suitable owner of the Blue Bear."

"Okay." Gavin nodded and agreed without hesitation. Anyway, there is no harm in this matter.

He didn't make any promises himself.

Although he knew that once he dedicated the blue bear to the Lord of Leaves, Rillifen, his relationship with the wild elves would change dramatically, and he could take the opportunity to expand his influence.

But this is not in line with his original plan. Returning it to its original owner Uthgar is the right way. This will not only expand his influence in the Uthgar clan, but also influence the layout of the human war god system in the future. Foreshadowing, such as the common plot against Garagos the Despoiler.

Such sensitive goods can only be sold to one party, and it is impossible to benefit from both parties.

Compared to the extremely stubborn wild elves, Gavin prefers to bring the Uthgard barbarians into his sphere of influence first, because it is easier to do, and it is far more useful than the wild elves - even if they are No matter how you look at yourself, the effect will be limited to the forest. They will never easily follow you out of the forest to fight.

Not only them, but most elves are like this.

The totem ritual of the wild elves is similar to that of the primitive people. They walk naked into the clearing in the forest full of totem runes and stay there for a night, feeling the breath of nature and integrating with it, so as to further find the wild power in their bodies.

It is already autumn now, and before the sun sets, the temperature in the dense forest has dropped sharply, and the cold air is overflowing. Even though Gavin is in amazing physical condition now, he is still affected by the external temperature before he has the ability to be immune to cold.

It didn't take long for the cold to penetrate his bones completely, firmly grasping Gavin's brain, making him want to give up, and at the same time he couldn't help wondering if this group of green elves was taking the opportunity to torture him deliberately?

But what good does it do to them?

Adversity not only did not make Gavin panic, but made his thinking sharper and clearer.

What the other party wants to plot is the totem spirit in his hands. If he offends himself, he will only push it away completely.

There must be a deep meaning in this that he has not yet understood.

Since the purpose is to explore their wild transformation ability, most of them want to put themselves into the transformation state, perhaps in that state, they can appreciate the difference.

Gavin does not have the wild transformation.

He does have a blue bear totem transformation, which was given by the totem spirit blue bear in the process of enlightenment of the blood bear tree.

When this ability was activated, Gavin could not help but roar wildly, and his bones all over his body creaked. Dense blue hair quickly emerged from his body, his head stretched forward, his mouth stretched out, and huge fangs grew out at a speed that he could clearly feel.

The muscles of his arms expanded and lengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming as thick as thighs.

This is the first form of the blue bear totem transformation, half human and half bear. Generally speaking, it is a mixture of human and bear.

Then his body continued to expand until his entire body became furry, like a bear standing upright that was larger than a human. He then entered the bear-man state. At this time, he had become twice as big as before and had a large body.

This was not the end. Immediately afterwards, his waist spine crackled, his body leaned forward, his palms landed on the ground, and his body continued to expand like a balloon. He soon grew into a behemoth over seven and a half meters in size. Looking around, he already had the demeanor of the plundering bear that Gavin had previously killed in the King's Forest.

The blue bear totem transformed into not an ordinary giant bear, but a ferocious blue bear with a super-large body.

This totem transformation was not the only transformation ability Gavin had. He also used the super-transformation a lot.

I dare not say that the super-transformation can be used in a myriad of ways, but at least the number of transformations exceeds the 72 transformations of Monkey King. He can directly imitate the transformation of many objects - daily furniture and supplies, common animals and plants, etc.

But there is a limitation, that is, the size of the transformation is limited. It cannot be smaller than small, and cannot be larger than large. Moreover, it can only simply imitate the appearance. As for the supernatural and special abilities of those creatures such as toxins and dragon breath, it is powerless.

The ferocious blue bear is the only super-large existence that Gavin can transform into.

As for Wu Liu's super-state complete body, it is a combination skill. Wu Liu itself belongs to plants and does not feel any pain. Gavin's own body shape has not changed completely.

That feeling is more like operating a giant machine. It is not without reason that Gavin jokingly calls it Wu Liu Mecha.

Whether it is super-state transformation or blue bear totem transformation, Gavin has used it before, but he only tried it briefly.

Not only because he is too busy and has no time to study deeply, but also because he has too many and too diverse abilities now.

Why use the ability of transformation when you can use the war predator to hammer the enemy or use the death roar to shoot their heads open?

This is the first time that I have been in the blue bear totem transformation state for a long time, so I will take the opportunity to explore this aspect of ability.

Although he is not a real druid, the possibility of truly opening the wild shapeshifting ability in the future is very small.

But he specializes in the mutator, and the ability of super-morphing is more powerful and more perverted than the wild shapeshifting of the druid.

Wild shapeshifting only gives the druid the ability to transform into animals and plants, while the super-morphing of the mutator can transform into all things in the world (in theory).

The fourth-level super-morphing is just a low-level version, and there is also a high-level version of the ninth-level advanced super-morphing. That kind of transformation is not just imitating the appearance, but also imitating a series of supernatural and special abilities of the opponent.

Except for the duration and the nature of the species will not change, all other aspects are exactly the same as the transformed species.

It is not easy to find a powerful mutator and learn to transform, but it is not difficult for Gavin now to find a legendary druid to follow him to learn the way of wild shapeshifting and improve his professional ability in a roundabout way.
