Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

Page 11

Shaking his head, Qingwu tidied up the bedding on the clean floor of the centaur stable and lit a candle.

He immediately sat cross-legged, pretending to refine chakra.

Until the candlelight went out on its own.

Qingwu slowly opened her eyes in the darkness.

"upgrade!"

Under his command, the full experience bar was emptied, and he made a significant leap forward.

The beginner phase is great for leveling up!

Qingwu smiled.

Moreover, he was very satisfied with the fact that there were no upgraded special effects such as full-screen flash or beams of light.

【Ding! 】

[Level +1, gain attribute points: Attack +1, Knowledge +1]

Qingwu felt that there were some subtle changes in herself.

He brought up the panel to check:

【Thousand-Handed Green Wutong: Level LV2】

Experience points: 50%

[Attack: 11 (Added to troop attack, increasing damage)]

[Defense: 8 (Added to troop defense, reduces damage)]

[Strength: 12 (Increases attack magic damage and enhances support magic effects)]

[Knowledge: 15 (Determines maximum mana, affects mana regeneration speed)]

[Combat units: 1 Deadwood Guardian, 4 Centaurs]

[Spellbook: Air (unlocked), Fire, Earth, Water]

[Note: For each level gained, two random attributes will increase by 1.]

The change brought about by two attribute increases is indeed very small. It is likely that a qualitative change will only occur when the attribute points are stacked at a higher level.

Qingwu nodded thoughtfully, then returned to check the system panel:

[Heart of the Fortress (Level 1) Bound to: Thousand Hands Green Willow]

[Natural Energy: 150/150]

Gold Coins: 20

Timber: 0

[Stone Ore: 0]

[Architecture: Ancient Tree of Life (Sapling), Centaur Stable]

His main purpose in returning to the Forest of Death was to figure out how to obtain the resources.

There's still one unlocked [Dwarf Village] that hasn't been built yet.

"what?"

Qingwu suddenly noticed his natural energy section.

The original 140 points of natural energy increased by 10 points.

"and many more!"

He then opened his personal panel to compare, and suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder the previous "knowledge" score was 14 points.

It turns out that the [Knowledge] attribute is directly linked to natural energy.

Moreover, he had unlocked air magic but had no mana points, which always puzzled him.

Now I finally understand.

"In other words, the energy I consume when I cast spells is also natural energy."

"Hiss~~!"

"Then we need to find a way to get resources even more."

"Besides personal level upgrades, the way to increase natural energy the most is undoubtedly territory upgrades."

Thinking of this, Qingwu went outside the stable.

The nights in the Death Forest are not peaceful; at least, ordinary people dare not come here.

Because the ecosystem in the forest is well preserved, it is home to many wild animals and poisonous insects.

However, ever since the Deadwood Guardians helped build a wall around the territory, the area within a 500-meter radius has become a "safe zone," and no other creatures have appeared.

"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"

Qingwu slapped the ground in a pretentious manner (for Kakashi's benefit from the shadows).

A faint light flickered, and the enormous, withered tree giant reappeared in the center of the territory.

Its eerie green gaze swept around, then it stood silently, like the most loyal watchtower.

"I need timber and stone ore, can you help me collect them?" Qingwu tried to communicate.

"..." The withered tree guard lowered its head slightly, conveying an affirmative answer.

Qingwu was overjoyed and immediately issued the order to collect the materials.

The withered tree guardian began to move...

It moved...

Up...

Qingwu was speechless; the withered tree guardian moved incredibly slowly with every step.

Boom!

A few minutes later, the deadwood guardian moved to the edge of the wall.

Soon its roots emerged from the wall and entwined around a large tree that required two people to hug.

Emerald green light spread from the roots of the large tree.

The tree withered and decomposed at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into specks of light that flew toward the green parasol tree.

"This……"

Qingwu was stunned by the amazing scene before her eyes.

【Ding! 】

[Received: Wood*10]

[Due to the influence of the Ancient Tree of Life (sapling), wood/stone ore acquisition efficiency +20%]

[Gain an additional 2 pieces of wood]

Holy crap, the movement is slow, but the efficiency is pretty high, but... won't it attract too much attention?

Qingwu just thought that.

Whoosh!

Kakashi landed behind him, a scarlet eye staring at him.

"What are you doing?"

Qingwu turned around. "Can't sleep? Come out and cultivate."

"This isn't chakra!" Kakashi looked at the withered tree guard.

The scene before him was also beyond his comprehension; the once healthy tree had simply disappeared, as if it had been drained of its nutrients, and had vanished completely.

"Ah!" Qingwu's eyes darted around as she managed to explain:

"My Wood Release is different. The previous battles consumed a lot of energy, and I need to recover in this way."

"Is that so?" Kakashi shifted his gaze from the withered tree guardian and looked over. "But I always feel that this is...evil!"

Chapter 11 Are you going to kill me?

It certainly looks evil.

Qingwu was also helpless; this was very abnormal, okay?

Is this a unique harvesting method exclusive to the Deadwood Guardian?

After you're done, try out how to gather resources with a centaur!

With these thoughts in mind, Qingwu stopped the withered tree guardians that were dismantling the second large tree.

[Received: Wood*9]

[Bonus: Gain 2 Wood]

Okay, this tree is a bit smaller than the previous one.
