A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 99: The Rage of the Rainforest Soul

Translator: Lonelytree

Without a doubt, Matthew chose to continue being friendly.

This was the benefit of having a high affinity with nature. Wherever he went, he could have an intimate and romantic encounter with the local nature soul.

The Rainforest Soul was also a natural soul. It didn’t have a single individual will like Ella, but it was a collective will formed by the billions of creatures in the rainforest.

If he could successfully please it, then Matthew’s time in the rainforest would be much easier.

However, the current situation was not optimistic. Ella had once told him that the Soul of the Rainforest was particularly violent and fierce. Matthew could also feel this. It was not easy to get along with such a Nature Soul. After confirming, a light green progress bar appeared in front of him.

The speed of communication was very slow.

It was not until Old Lucky led the duo to their resting spot for the night, a cave house on a cliff outside the rainforest, that the bar had barely risen to one percent.

“The Soul of the Rainforest is indeed not easy to deal with. It is very wary of outsiders. According to the current progress, it will take at least dozens of days to open its heart.”

Matthew began to think about whether there was a way to speed up the communication.

At this time, Lorraine and Old Lucky had already made a bed on the floor, and the two of them started arguing about the night watch.

“Of course, I’m the one keeping watch! I’m young, strong, energetic, alert, and quick-witted. Am I not the best candidate for the night watch?

“With me around, no one can do anything evil!

‘ You two can have a good night’s sleep,” Lorraine said.” Especially you, Old Lucky. You’re older. When we enter the rainforest, we’ll still need you to lead the way.”

Old Lucky silently took out his tobacco and fiddled with it a few times. He shook his head and said,

“I’ll guard the second half of the night, and Matthew will guard the first half of the night. Once you’re on the road, you have to listen to me.”

“What about me?” Lorraine seemed to feel that he was being looked down upon and said unhappily, “Old Lucky, are you discriminating against bards? At least let me play a role, right?”

Old Lucky thought for a long time and finally said, “Why don’t you play the flute for everyone?”

However, Lorraine readily agreed. He took out a dark green flute and placed it on his lips as if he was performing a magic trick.

Old Lucky hurriedly stopped him and said, “Stop! Are you trying to lure the Twin-legged Flying Dragons or the Gnoll Tribe over by playing the flute here?”

After saying that, he looked at Lorraine’s dumbfounded expression and sighed heavily.

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have joked with you. I’m sorry, but please rest well tonight.”

Lorraine turned the flute in his hand gloomily as if he had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn’t say them out loud. In the end, he nodded silently.

After a while, Matthew found Old Lucky and suggested, “Old Lucky, you guard for the first half of the night. My summoned creature will be responsible for the safety of the second half of the night.”

He pointed at Soldier.

At this moment, Soldier was wrapped in a huge cloak. This cloak was woven

from reeds, and its aura was one with the rainforest. It was not expensive, so Matthew bought it when he found it on the market.

Old Lucky wanted to refuse, but after sizing Soldier up for a while, he suddenly changed his mind.

“Alright, but be careful and stay alert at all times.”

Matthew nodded and went to lay out his sleeping bag.

“Hey, Matthew, Old Lucky obviously doesn’t trust me. I have to prove it to him!

Lorraine, who was leaning against the stone wall, whispered, “Did you know that when I was hunting the Sky Giants with the Cloud Elves in Cloud Edge City, I didn’t sleep for ten days and ten nights!

“On the morning of the eleventh day, I was still in high spirits and had played a crucial role in the battle to capture the Sky Giant!

“Tonight, no matter which of you keep watch, I will not fall asleep.

“I’ll let that old man see how great a young man’s energy is!”

Matthew saw his excitement and asked calmly, “Is this your first time camping in the wild?”

Lorraine thought for a moment. “Something like that. There were at least luxurious carriages whenever I went out in the wild.”

Matthew sincerely advised, “Why don’t you sleep for a while first and wake up in the second half of the night when everyone is the sleepiest?”

Lorraine yawned. “You’re right, Matthew. I’ll take a nap first.”

The next morning.

The light of dawn shone on the cliff and penetrated the cave house.

Lorraine was woken up by the chirping of birds. He rubbed his sleepy eyes in satisfaction and looked around. He found that Matthew and Old Lucky had woken up and were dressed neatly.

“A beautiful night, huh?”

Lorraine greeted them warmly. “Looks like our luck is not bad. No one came to disturb us. Uh, I originally wanted to get up to keep watch, but the wind that blew last night told me that everything was peaceful and nothing happened, so

I fell asleep again.”

Matthew and Old Lucky looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Lorraine suddenly realized that there were a few wooden figures behind Matthew.

“Eh, Matthew, why are there four skeletons beside you? Hey, there’s even a skeleton dog!” Lorraine asked curiously, “Are they your summoned creatures?

Their appearances are really unique!”

“Before last night, they weren’t my summons.” Matthew smiled.

As he spoke, he glanced at the data panel..
