With Atilan's guarantee to prepare a Wood Elf friendship meeting for them, the male druids like Taishan and Bear Man were filled with enthusiasm. Several female druids were also fantasizing about the beautiful scene of being embraced by handsome Wood Elves.

Looking at these unfamiliar men and women, Atilan asked curiously:

"Bear Man, where did they travel from to become druids? I haven't seen them in the forest before I went to sleep. Are they mainland druids who responded to Master's desert greening plan?"

Atilan has organized several gatherings in the forest and basically knows most of the druids in the forest. The plan to build a grassland in the eastern desert has made all the druids in the forest show their faces.

These unfamiliar druid faces could only be responding to the call of the Grand Druid Gai'e Gai, coming from other parts of the continent to participate in greening the desert area of one million square kilometers.

Everyone knows that if this plan succeeds, it will produce countless natural energy for the druids to absorb. After a million square kilometers of desert are all turned into oases, the vast natural will can even give birth to a legendary druid.

Whoever makes the greatest contribution in this process may rely on this favor of fate in the future, adding a weight to the scale of success, thereby breaking through to become a legendary druid.

Atilan very much hopes that the druid favored by fate after this desert greening is him. Therefore, he seems to be somewhat embarrassed on the surface, but in fact, he wants to promote the reconstruction of the desert water vein more than anyone else.

Of course, he knows that shaping the water vein is very urgent, but this matter cannot be rushed.

First of all, it is impossible to open a stable channel connected to the water element realm through a ritual array. Secondly, opening the channel has environmental requirements.

Anyway, the more water there is in the environment, the larger the opening of the channel, and the greater the possibility of water element life emerging. If several manic water elements want to occupy this land rich in water resources, a war will be inevitable.

It is really difficult to defeat water elements in water.

Because water elements can perfectly integrate themselves into the water, even ocean dragons have difficulty discovering water elements.

Of course, elemental beings generally have simpler minds, so they are more susceptible to taunts.

Atilan and the others do plan to communicate with the water element realm and open a channel to infuse water elements under the magic farm through a ritual array, but the main force flowing to the desert to form the water vein is actually the abundant groundwater under Big Horn Town.

Why is there abundant groundwater under Big Horn Town?

Naturally, it is because of the Swamp Dragon's big move last time, which slightly changed the flow of water elements in the Sea of Life. If the water flow discharged from the Sea of Life to the Southwest River was originally 5.

Then the current water flow is 15, and the flow of the three rivers in the rainforest has also increased, with the total water flow increasing by almost 5.

The increase in water flow has led to a decrease in food grown in the rainforest. If Atilan hadn't ordered to hunt piranhas at all costs, especially during the piranhas' breeding season, it would have been necessary to work hard to reduce the number of piranhas and their food sources.

After the number of piranhas was reduced to a reasonable range, he released a batch of herbivorous fish fry cultivated in Greenscale Town, as well as seeds of several fast-growing aquatic plants cultivated with the help of the Grass Woman.

Half of the rainforest's population has been taken away by Atilan's recruiters, but that doesn't mean they have all been arranged to work and live in wetlands outside the rainforest.

The Wine Woman mentioned earlier that there is a town in the rainforest that recruits people. That town is inhabited by people who are good at living in the rainforest, as well as fishmen arranged by Old Fishman to transform the rainforest environment according to Atilan and the druid's ideas.

Because of raising herbivorous fish and planting aquatic plants, this town located in the rainforest is called Grass Fish Town, and the representative dishes are Mushroom Grass Fish Soup and Teppanyaki Octopus.

Just as Atilan was studying the drawings, a blue-haired druid walked up to Atilan and said with a sweet smile:

"Mr. Atilan, I'd like to offer you a toast. Thanks to you for pacifying the rainforest war and gradually restoring the natural order of the rainforest, we can also practice in the rainforest with peace of mind."

Atilan raised his head in surprise to look at this person, with a few blue and pink fish scales still remaining on her cheeks, but it did not affect her appearance, but added a unique temperament.

"You are?"

"I am a druid living in the rainforest. Our lineage of druids has been working hard to restore the natural order of the rainforest. The members are all peace-loving individuals from the rainforest tribe."

"There are fishmen, snakemen, lizardmen, and even a few humans, but our results have been very weak. The food we worked hard to cultivate would be taken away by powerful tribes."

"Even if we managed to keep the food and distribute it to the surrounding weak tribes without food, it would still be taken away by powerful tribes."

"Until your people recruited the rainforest tribes to leave the rainforest and live in places outside the rainforest that are more suitable for growing food, we realized that to solve the rainforest problem, we should leave the rainforest and work hard outside."

"If our farmland was set up outside the rainforest, such as in the western wetlands, perhaps the rainforest's chaos would have been pacified by us."

Atilan shook his head.

"You think I am like you, solving the rainforest's disputes by distributing food? In fact, I rely on force! If the rainforest tribes hadn't failed every time they fought my army."

"They wouldn't listen to my instructions to live in the wetlands. Even their ability to live in the wetlands is because I have wiped out the tribes in the wetlands and reclaimed a large amount of farmland."

"If the food you grow is used to attract powerful warriors, you will be able to have larger and larger food producing areas, and the rainforest's disputes will be quelled."

"The current rainforest is not peaceful. It's just that those large tribes that have not been recruited by me still have enough land to feed their population, otherwise they would have already started fighting."

Atilan looked up and down at this druid exuding the aura of the sea.

"You are not a race from the rainforest, are you?"

She nodded and said:

"My name is Mermaid Lin. I am indeed a mermaid, but my father was a sea elf druid, so I am not quite the same as ordinary mermaids and am often rejected by other mermaids."

"Therefore, after my mother died, I studied druid knowledge from the notes left by my father. I discovered that my father should have gone to explore the water element realm and never returned. My mother was also overly sad, and she passed away not long after I came of age."

Atilan looked at the bear-man, his eyes seemingly speaking, 'Such a beautiful mermaid druid, and you haven't even tried to pursue her?'

The bear-man sadly closed his eyes. How could he not have pursued her? But she just wasn't interested. She even said that a druid attuned to earth elements and a druid attuned to water elements didn't have good compatibility.

Therefore, there was no connection between them.

To come up with such a lame excuse, didn't that clearly show that she had no feelings for him at all?

The bear-man was a bit suspicious. Had the stories of his desperate pursuit of girls already reached the ears of this newly arrived druid? That was why, upon their first meeting, she had decisively rejected him.

Atilan said thoughtfully:

"I'm going to cooperate with the giants living near the West Coast to develop it. It might be near your family's Mermaid Bay. If you want to go home, you can go back with the development team."

The mermaid Lynn shook her head and said:

"Since my mother died, there's nothing in Mermaid Bay worth my longing. When I went to the Water Elemental Plane to find my father, I was already prepared to die."

"Who knew that the teleportation channel would be unstable? I accidentally appeared in the rain clouds above the rainforest. If Teacher hadn't been cultivating in the sky at that moment, I might have already fallen to my death."

What's this called? A Lynn-sister falling from the sky?

Atilan asked curiously:

"Lynn, I tried to find you, but why couldn't a druid like me, who lives in the rainforest, find you? Also, why are you now taking the initiative to appear here?"

Lynn's eyes suddenly became somewhat dim.

"Teacher is dead, and the rainforest peace that we've always upheld is about to be realized by you. Everyone says you are the savior of the rainforest. Teacher also said that in the forest on the western shore of Dragon Lake, there is a powerful druid, Gaia Gaia."

"After her death, we can ask Master Gaia Gaia to guide our cultivation."

Atilan nodded thoughtfully.

"Then how many of you are there in total? Have you all come?"

Lynn shook her head and said:

"Only a small number of people are willing to come. The others all feel that it's good enough to stay in the rainforest to cultivate. Following Teacher's guidance, they can still become powerful druids."

"Besides, the natural balance of the rainforest has not yet been restored. They believe that we cannot leave like this. I wanted to ask you to help coordinate, but they sternly refused."

Atilan smiled. It was obvious that Lynn's fellow disciples had obtained the teacher's inheritance and were controlling the power of the rainforest's natural energy cycle through some means.

They were afraid that this power would be taken away by Atilan, so they refused his help. Once he came into contact with the Natural Nexus, he could easily seize control of the rainforest's natural veins.

By controlling the Nexus, even if this energy nexus could only mobilize a portion of the energy, they could use this energy to strengthen their own strength, because the teacher was dead, and they no longer needed to expend magic power to cultivate food to distribute to those weak people.

Atilan shook his head in disdain. When he couldn't find these druids at first, and from the news he collected from the recruiters about them, he knew that these possibly existing druids were doing very poorly.

Because these people appeared less and less frequently, and the help they provided was also getting smaller, every time it was those familiar faces, and even the familiar faces were decreasing.

Doesn't that mean their days are numbered?

Therefore, Atilan had already been studying his own rainforest natural magic network.

If the rainforest were divided according to a shareholding system, through recruiting personnel and expanding through war, Atilan had secretly controlled more than half of the rainforest's land.

On these lands, he selected some trees that had been growing for more than a hundred years and carried weak magic power as nodes to build his own energy flow network.

As for the most important energy nexus, he planned to ask a Sprout Treant from the Bear-man Forest to come back and guard it. It wasn't that he didn't want to ask a Treant, but there was only one Sprout Treant suitable for the humid environment of the rainforest.

That was a Dawn Redwood. In the rainforest, where every step leaves a footprint and mud sticks to the shoes, ordinary Treants wouldn't only fail to grow, but their roots would probably rot.

Only this Dawn Redwood could draw nutrients from the rainforest, and at the same time, have the ability to serve as an energy core. What the Old Tree Head of the Bear-man Forest looked like, the future Dawn Redwood would look like.

Through this prototype of a natural network centered on the Dawn Redwood Treant, as long as Atilan controlled more than half of the energy shares in the rainforest, the energy nexus in the hands of those druids would be useless.

Not only would they no longer be able to control the rainforest, but it would also become difficult for them to use the energy nexus to absorb energy from the rainforest's natural veins for cultivation in the future. Once Atilan's natural magic network achieved basic coverage.

They would completely lose their privileges. Obviously, a group of druids who only took and didn't give wouldn't be favored by the forest.

"Lynn, are you happy staying in the forest?"

The mermaid Lynn nodded heavily, but her expression was also a bit regretful.

"I'm very happy. The environment of the forest is peaceful and tranquil, and the abundance of natural energy is several times that of the rainforest. If I had known that Master Gaia Gaia was so powerful, I should have had Teacher ask the master to help."

"It's really a pity that my fellow disciples didn't come."

Atilan continued:

"Since you don't plan to return to Mermaid Bay, then are you willing to return to the rainforest and help me build the rainforest into a natural sanctuary as lush as the Bear-man Forest?"

The leader of the rainforest is dead. If he wins over the mermaid Lynn, who has the right to inherit, then he can logically annex the rainforest's natural system. It's better to have a justifiable reason than to brutally kill Lynn's fellow disciples and occupy the rainforest.

Even if the rainforest druids are incompetent and can't protect the rainforest, as a natural compatriot, Atilan shouldn't take advantage of the situation. This doesn't conform to the druid's values.

If he annexes the rainforest druids today, what will the wood elf druids in the south and the ice elf druids in the north think of him?

Even if he is shameless, even as Gaia Gaia's disciple, Atilan must protect his master's reputation.

"Lynn, which deity do you believe in?"

Atilan thought she would say the God of Nature, or the Forest Goddess, but…

"The Octopus Sea God!"

Atilan looked at her with a strange expression.

"The Octopus Sea God? Are you sure this is a deity of the natural pantheon?"

"The strength of the Octopus Sea God is not very strong, but he has many believers in the rainforest, the Water Elemental Plane, and the ocean. My father and teacher are all his believers."

"That's why I was able to appear in the sky above the rainforest. It was all the guidance of the Octopus Sea God!"

"Can you let me see the emblem of the Octopus Sea God?"

"Of course."

Looking at the emblem Lynn took out, Atilan exclaimed in surprise:

"The Panpipe!"
