Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest - Chapter 981

-----

Although the Continent of Verdant was in a peaceful state right now, at this point fully recovered and cleansed of all the contamination left behind by the previous Demon Kings thanks to the perseverance of the Yggdrasil Tree's cleansing abilities, there wasn't anything saying there weren't threats.

And I mean the purest and most natural of them, not born from the demon kings, but just born from nature as it is, Monsters. This continent full of life was bound to be fully populated of deadly monsters that evolved over eons of adaptation and battle.

We've already fought all matter of ancient prehistoric beasts, giant dinosaurs mostly, my Avatar had managed to escape from a very strong lion-like beast, but there were more of them everywhere, all Level 300 or higher.

Their health and stats were naturally lower than most of previous foes obviously, as all of them were boss type, but these monsters were definitely not easy to kill, they took a lot of hits to die, nonetheless.

The worst part was no loot! Other than EXP, but we were all max level already too, so it wasn't like we could continue leveling up endlessly, at least the EXP was accumulated over time, so we'll get a lot of levels once we evolve.

Anyways, that was that, and this was this.

"Maybe mama could recognize you being worthy of her help if you do some favor for her!" Baby Titania said. "How about you defeat those pesky bugs that have been eating away at her farther roots to the east?"

"Bugs?" I wondered.

"Yes, now I remember that time, very annoying creatures." Adult Titania nodded. "They were called Crimson Flare Termites. Giant termite monsters that eat wood and devoured whole forests. They were an infestation left by the Demon King of Plagues, or well, descendants of the many bug monsters it summoned.

But because they've been assimilated with nature, I never paid too much attention to them until now."

"They are just very hungry, but it can't be helped, we can't let them use mama as their dinner!" Baby Titania said. "So can you please get rid of them? they have already eaten over five kilometers of mama's roots!"

I looked back at my party, everyone seemed willing and ready.

"Looks like we can do that for you, alright." I nodded. "You said they came from the East?"

"Let's go then, we'll be back sooner than you expect, wait for us!" I said.

We quickly went through the portal as little Titania waved her hand at us. The portal closed so she wouldn't end up sneaking in here and causing trouble. Her divine familiars were also left there, she offered their help, but it was better if they protected her at all times, that's what their purpose was at the very beginning.

"So these are the savannah, just like the ones you see in those Africa Documentaries." Gandalf said, looking around.

"It is truly a beautiful place." Anikitty said. "This dungeon is sure gigantic though!"

"It sure is..." Erdrich added.

"I believe it is more than a simulation, maybe, within the game's context, it might be like real? Maybe a fragment of the timeline of sorts, right?" Angelina wondered.

"Yeah, I also believe it might be real." I nodded. "It is way too real to be a simulation."

"A simulation within a simulation, now that's something, haha." Laughed Gandalf, caressing his beard.

"Yeeeah..." Said Anna. "Anyways, auntie, where to?"

"To the east. Follow me." I said. "The spirits are already leading me there."

We quickly moved towards the east, rushing through the Savannah, as a myriad of beast stopped our path from time to time.

But we got through them all with our army of players and NPC and landed on the Arid Wastelands.

A giant castle made of mud, the nest of the Termites, was right there.
