"Is this human man truly our future Lord?"
"Yes! It must be him! Our Lord looks so imposing!"
"Uh... but our Lord looks quite ordinary!"
"Human appearances naturally cannot compare to ours! But our Lord looks perfect enough!"
"I just don't know how this Lord will treat us wooden people! As far as I know, the lords of all territorial forces are enthusiastic about war and invasion!"
"Perhaps! A few days ago, another territorial force attacked our patrolling team, but we repelled them!"
"Will our wooden tribe participate in the war?"
"That depends on what our Lord decides. If he sends us to attack other forces, we will naturally obey!"
...
Outside the Wooden Great Priest's courtyard.
The surrounding wooden people, upon seeing Xiao Mo, began to whisper and murmur amongst themselves.
These wooden people, males handsome, females exquisitely beautiful.
Like elves, wooden people are products of nature, inherently embodying both beauty and agility.
Xiao Mo emerged from the small courtyard and smiled gently at all the wooden people, his deep gaze sweeping over each one.
Upon meeting Xiao Mo's gaze, all the wooden people lowered their heads, showing their respect.
Xiao Mo nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Mu Chunrou and inquired,
"Have any territorial forces attacked the wooden tribe before?"
Xiao Mo had overheard some of the wooden people's discussions and naturally paid attention to this matter.
Mu Chunrou bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
"The lord of that territorial force is very weak and timid, so he never dared to attack our tribe! He only harassed our patrolling teams, but he was forcefully repelled by the Wood Spirit Priest last time and has not dared to appear since!"
The Wood Spirit Priest is also at the peak of the Spirit rank.
With such strength, personally repelling and deterring that territorial force was like using a cannon to swat a mosquito.
After all, among all the current territorial forces, only the Immortal Demon Tribe has beings of the Spirit rank.
It is already remarkable for any other lord to have a creature of the tenth rank under their command.
It is simply too easy for a peak Spirit rank expert to annihilate such a territorial force.
Xiao Mo nodded slightly, a thought arising in his mind.
"Do you know the direction of that territorial force?"
"Reporting to Lord! That territory is located about twenty kilometers northeast of the Immortal Demon Tribe! The patrolling wooden team has marked the location of that territorial force!"
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's question, Mu Ke was the first to answer.
Clearly, he also wanted to make an impression on the future Lord and become familiar.
"Since that is the case... gather the Wooden Guard Regiment and at precisely noon today, launch an attack on that territory and completely destroy it!"
As Xiao Mo's words fell, the three priests simultaneously froze, exchanging glances with each other.
"What is it? Is there a problem?"
Xiao Mo's expression slightly darkened as he asked calmly.
Mu Chunrou gritted her teeth and quickly shook her head.
"No problem at all! The wooden tribe obeys your orders, Lord!"
"Mhm!"
Xiao Mo curved his lips slightly and nodded, then remembered the main purpose of his visit.
"Afterwards, transport all the supplies from the wooden tribe to my Immortal Demon Tribe! I want all resources except food!"
The few priests exchanged glances again, and finally, it was still Mu Chunrou who responded.
"As you command! Lord!"
After choosing to surrender, the wooden tribe had become a subordinate force under the Immortal Demon Tribe.
The Immortal Demon Tribe held absolute control over all resources of the wooden tribe, and they had no right to refuse.
However, Mu Chunrou then asked Xiao Mo with a somewhat conflicted expression,
"Respected Lord, could you leave us some Natural Dew? This is the source of life and spiritual energy cultivation for the wooden people, and it is very important to us!"
"Natural Dew?"
Xiao Mo felt a bit puzzled and said directly, "Let me see what it is?"
Subsequently, a green light flashed in Mu Chunrou's hand, and a delicate bottle appeared in her palm.
The bottle was slightly transparent, but the emerald liquid within was shimmering with a crystalline glow.
[Natural Dew]
[Specific Description: A precious medicine unique to the Natural Wooden tribe, formed by the essence of ancient natural trees combined with morning dew, but only ten drops can be produced daily.]
[Function 1: Significantly increases the vitality and natural spiritual energy of living beings.]
[Function 2: Can rapidly heal various physical and soul injuries.]
[Function 3: Has a certain chance to enhance the power level of living beings.]
[PS: When used by the Natural Wooden tribe, all functional effects are doubled!]
After reading this information, a hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Mo's face. He casually tossed this bottle of Natural Dew into the [Elf Queen's Bracelet].
Then, he unceremoniously said to Mu Chunrou,
"Leave enough Dew for all the wooden people in your tribe to use. Send all the rest to my Immortal Demon Tribe!"
"Lord! You are truly benevolent! Thank you!"
As Xiao Mo's words fell, led by Mu Chunrou, all the priests bowed gratefully to Xiao Mo.
For the entire wooden tribe, Natural Dew was incredibly important.
It directly concerned the strength advancement of the wooden people in the tribe!
If the wooden people were to cultivate on their own, their progress would undoubtedly be extremely slow.
But with the assistance of Natural Dew, it would not be an exaggeration to say they could progress a thousand miles a day.
Most importantly, Natural Dew was also an excellent healing medicine, capable of pulling even a dying being back from the brink of death.
Therefore, the preciousness of Natural Dew was self-evident, and this was also what made Xiao Mo so exceptionally delighted.
After the five priests expressed their gratitude to Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo also received a system notification.
[Your benevolent act of leaving enough Natural Dew for the wooden tribe has increased the overall loyalty of the wooden tribe by three points, and the loyalty of the five priests by five points each!]
Clearly, all the wooden people were very grateful to Xiao Mo, and they understood gratitude.
Even though Natural Dew had always belonged to the wooden tribe before.
However, after the wooden tribe chose to surrender and submit to the Immortal Demon Tribe, everything within the wooden tribe now belonged to Xiao Mo.
This was the price of surrender and submission.
Therefore, Xiao Mo's actions made all the wooden people extremely grateful.
Suddenly, Xiao Mo noticed a heavily guarded treehouse not far away, and his heart stirred slightly.
"What is that treehouse?"
Mu Chunrou followed Xiao Mo's gaze, her expression becoming slightly strange.
"Lord! That is the treasure vault of the wooden tribe!"
The treasure vault?
Xiao Mo raised an eyebrow. Mo Wuxin had wanted to infiltrate the treasure vault, which was why he was injured by Mu Chunrou.
"Let's go! Take me to see it!"
Xiao Mo waved his hand at Mu Chunrou and the other priests, and took the lead towards the treasure vault...
