A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 103: Rainforest Fever

Translator: Lonelytree

“That mage had disappeared about three years ago. Some guessed that he was dead, while others guessed that he had only left for a long time. Regardless, the Bitter Water Swamp was left empty.

“However, due to the traps and deterrence left behind by the mage, there were not many large monster colonies here.

“The high ground in front of us was formed by the corpses of the Earth Giants that the mage summoned in a battle.

“I chose this place not only because of the terrain but also because of two other reasons. First, that mage’s threat to the rainforest creatures is still there, which might help you filter out some enemies.

“Secondly, if the situation is really critical, I suggest that you try to escape into the depths of the swamp. Of course, this is a last resort.”

Matthew instantly understood what Old Lucky meant. “So, is that mage also a necromancer?”

After cutting off the last of the thorns, Old Lucky threw down his short knife and took out a dry cigarette from the bag on his back, He took a few sips and then nodded.

“Yes, I am. The necromancer was very powerful and evil. He was once the nightmare of the Jango tribe nearby.

“Half of his undead army was transformed from rainforest creatures, and the other half was Jango. He even used the corpses of Jango to make two Abominations!

“However, the Jangos still could not do anything to him. In the few rounds of confrontation with the necromancer, they had prayed to the Feathered Serpent God, mobilized the forest war beasts, and even lost five or six shamans. However, in the end, they were still no match for him.

“If it weren’t for the fact that the necromancer didn’t have the ambition to expand his territory, this rainforest would have changed its name long ago.

“In short, I suspect that the necromancer is already close to or even stepping into the Legendary realm.

“He left many traps and undead in the swamp.

“Even if you are a necromancer, you might not be able to communicate with those undead.

“Therefore, do not risk entering the depths of the swamp until the last moment!”

After listening to Old Lucky’s warning.

Matthew said sincerely,”

“Thank you.”

Old Lucky waved his hand.

“I’m just a guide, and I can’t help you much. If we really fight, I’m afraid you’ll be on your own.”

At this moment, Loraine interrupted, “Don’t worry, I’m here. Although I don’t know magic and my martial arts are average, my flute will surprise you!” As he spoke, he shook the light green flute at his waist.

“Then let’s wait and see.” Matthew smiled and continued to prepare for the upcoming battle.

The sun started to set.

The weary bird returns to its nest.

Amidst the sparse cries.

In the forest at the edge of the highlands, there were many figures with malicious intentions.

“They are here.”

Matthew reminded in a Inw voice

On the side, Old Luckys face was filled with wariness.

Lorraine was the only one who was still reading a comic book with great interest, chuckling from time to time.

Until he heard Matthew’s reminder.

He slowly closed the book and stretched while looking around blankly.

“Where?”

“East.”

It’s a group of black-backed gnolls,” Matthew said calmly.” There are about eight to eleven of them. Is there a dungeon nearby?”

Old Lucky quickly replied, “There are some, but not many. The surface exit is also very far from here.”

Matthew nodded. “There are three jungle leopards in the west. They look like females, and their average level is around level 10.

“There’s also a Level-Il forest boa lurking on the banyan tree in the north. It’s camouflaged, so I almost couldn’t tell.”

Old Lucky looked at Matthew in surprise. “Did you use a detection spell?”

Even with his many years of experience in traversing the rainforest and his ability to adapt to this place, he still hadn’t discovered the giant forest boa. However, Matthew, a necromancer, had actually discovered it with his naked eyes. How could he not be surprised?

Matthew did not explain.

In fact, it was Ella, who was in his arms, who reminded him in a low voice. Nature Soul was indeed excellent at sensing wild beasts. With Ella, no creature in the rainforest could escape Matthew’s eyes.

“It’s time to make a move.”

Matthew noticed the strange movements of the Black-backed Gnolls.

“I’ll go lure that forest boa away.”

Old Lucky quickly said, “I have a lot of experience in dealing with giant boas.

You don’t have to worry about me.”

As he spoke, he moved toward the boa alone.

On the other side.

The black-backed gnolls seemed to have realized that they had been exposed. They no longer concealed themselves and started to move.

Black-backed gnolls were close relatives of gnolls, but they were much taller than ordinary gnolls. They had sparse black hair and were very strong, almost as powerful as beastmen.

These creatures were usually active in the Undercity and were extremely rare in the rainforest. However, since they had appeared in this siege, it proved that they were part of the rainforest and were under the command of the Soul of the Rainforest.

Matthew did not let his guard down. This group of black-backed gnolls was very high-level. Each of them was above Level-7, and there were a few Level-9 ones. In addition, they were also motivated by the Bloodthirst of the Soul of the Jungle, so their strength could not be underestimated.

He controlled the skeleton soldiers to fight the enemy while Soldier’s figure slowly disappeared into the air.

At this moment.

A cheerful flute sounded, and Lorraine began to play with a satisfied expression.

He blew quickly and skillfully.

In just a dozen seconds, the short flute sound changed from cheerful and intense to melodious and magnificent.

As the sound of the flute changed, buffs were also added to Matthew.
