Please be my partner.

The green and quiet area is extremely special. The entire area is covered by a kind of trees. These trees are extremely tall and are evenly distributed in a stepped manner from the inside to the outside and from high to low. Even the outermost ones are more than a hundred meters high.

The lower 90% of the trunks of all the trees have no branches, and only the uppermost part has dense branches and leaves. These branches and leaves are stacked together in layers, and no sunlight can pass through them to reach the ground.

In the Green Area lives a special kind of dog called the Forest Wolf. It is a group life, and each individual is part of the whole.

Melen is still very interested in the life form of group life. So far, the only group life he has seen is Gui, with whom he cooperated when completing the mission of the Sass Saint Clan.

Garuru's current form is somewhat similar to a group life form, but it is not actually.

In essence, Garuru has always been a single individual, but its existence spans many dimensions and worlds, so there are different Garurus.

To be honest, the forest wolf is not a dog in essence, but it looks like a dog in appearance.

However, this doesn't matter to Mellen.

If I say you are a dog, you are a dog, whether you are not a dog or not.

When Melen entered the green area, he felt something was wrong.

From a distance, it looked as if the entire area was covered by tall trees, but when he got closer he discovered that the branches and leaves at the tops of the trees were not simply piled together, they were actually connected, and the roots of these trees that penetrated into the ground were also entangled with each other.

They are a whole!

Just as Melen was thinking, a green wolf walked towards him.

Looking closely, this wolf has no hair on its body, but instead has something that looks like plant fiber. Apart from that, it is no different from an ordinary wolf.

Knowing that they were a group of beings, communicating with any individual wouldn't make much of a difference, so Melen got straight to the point and said, "Hello, are you free to chat?"

Senlang said: "Outsiders are not welcome here."

Mellen chuckled, realizing that this was another one of those people who liked to keep to themselves. But that was fine. He always liked to give them a chance to choose, so he didn't attack them directly. Instead, he said, "Then I'll be frank. My purpose in coming here this time is to subjugate you. I hope you can make the right choice."

The forest wolf paused for a moment, as if some invisible force began to gather around it. After a moment, it asked, "Are you the powerful one who recently subdued the Saint Wolf Clan?"

Melen laughed and said, "Has my reputation spread? If there's no one else doing this, then the person you're talking about should be me."

Senlang said doubtfully, "But I'm not a wolf!"

Mellen said, "It doesn't matter. Make your choice."

The forest wolf was silent. It felt like a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to explain itself clearly.

After a long moment, Senlang said, "Even if I surrender to you, it will do you no good. I am deeply bound to this area and cannot leave."

Mellen raised his brows, a little surprised. If it was really as Senlang said, it was impossible for it to leave this area, then even if he signed a contract with it, it would not be of any help to Mellen.

Although Melen didn't think that Senlang would deceive him about this matter, he still had to find out the specific reason.

So he said, "Tell me more about it."

After a moment of hesitation, Senlang said, "Well, since you want to know, then follow me."

Having said that, Senlang turned and walked towards the interior of the Green Area.

Melen naturally didn't care and followed Senlang casually.

As he went deeper, Melen could feel more and more the homogeneity of the surrounding environment, and the reason was these tall trees. Combined with what Senlang said, he gradually had some vague guesses.

On the way, Melen also saw many forest wolves. They were doing different things and had different strengths. When Melen passed by, they all stared at him with dark eyes.

Soon, Melen arrived at the center of the Green Area and saw the biggest secret of this area...

A banyan tree so huge that it covers the sky!

At this moment, Melen understood that what he had seen before were not trees at all, but aerial roots hanging down from the banyan tree.

This is a banyan tree that is even bigger than an ordinary small world!

This banyan tree looks extremely old. Every groove on its trunk is like a canyon. The bark is a bit gray, bearing the mottled traces of time.

Senlang squatted quietly in front of the banyan tree and said in a calm tone: "Our tribe has a special gift, which is that we can bind and coexist with a plant, and then we can share its talent and power."

"But as a price, we will also be bound to it and unable to move away."

As the forest wolf spoke, forest wolves appeared around Mellen, and in a blink of an eye, there were hundreds of them. Moreover, they were all saints.

"As long as the plants we bind to are strong enough, then within this range, our power is unlimited!"

"We have no intention of becoming your enemy. You should have seen that even if we submit to you, we won't be able to bring you much help. So, outsider, you should leave."

Melen didn't care much about Senlang's threatening words. Instead, he was very interested in the special talent that Senlang mentioned.

Melen looked at Senlang and asked seriously, "You just said that your special talents can be bound to plants, sharing their talents and powers? Can any plant be used?!"

Senlang looked at Mellen, and a question mark slowly floated over his head.

Chapter 478: The First Phase of the Dog Legion Establishment Plan Completed Successfully

Before today, Melen had occasionally wondered when he was bored which of his dogs would be the first to become a demigod.

Is it Spike who fought against heaven and earth and completed the ultimate leap with his courage?

Is it the rebellion of the endless sea of blood that gave birth to the little red lotus with the ability of [Blood Domain], which can devour blood-related life and obtain everything from them?

Is it a supernatural being born from a miracle, a green mist dog that finally emerges as a butterfly after going through layers of tribulations?

Is it Garuru, a dimensional life form that can continuously draw rules and power from different dimensions and worlds?

Is it Xiao Liuli who got the protagonist template, obtained the inheritance of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, and was blessed by the Mountain and Sea Realm?

Is it the golden retriever that has absorbed the top bloodlines of light and darkness, and can extend this to the concepts of sun and moon in the future?

Is it Nasus, who has the most innate talents and has found the way of soul through his own research?

Is it a void dog that can evolve infinitely as long as it eats?

Or maybe it was a certain Saint dog that Mellen had tamed recently? !

Mellen couldn't be sure about this, but what he understood was that a new and powerful competitor had emerged.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the forest wolf in front of him is willing to submit to him.

Senlang was very confused by Mellen's question. He stared at Mellen without answering because the previous explanations were enough to express his sincerity, and the latter question somewhat touched upon his core secrets. Just asking the question made him feel impolite.

The reason why Senlang explained was that Melen's reputation had become a bit big recently and it did not want to engage in a meaningless battle, but this did not mean that it was really afraid of Melen.

Senlang, who has rich combat experience, understands that blindly giving in will only make the enemy become more aggressive. Sometimes a tough performance is the prerequisite for fair negotiation.

Melen naturally understood what Senlang meant. He chuckled and stretched out his hand to grab in the air. A faint breath was grasped in his hand.

Mellen said, "You should be able to feel what this is, right?"

All the forest wolves stared at the breath that was slowly dissipating from Mellen's hand. Their eyes turned green, filled with instinctive greed and desire.

Senlang's emotions seemed to affect the banyan tree, causing discordant vibrations throughout the area.

When the aura in Mellen's hand completely dissipated, he chuckled and said, "I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words and answer my previous question. Can your special talent coexist with any plant?"

In fact, Mellen had already gotten the answer he wanted from Senlang's performance. The reason why he asked the same question again was just a little trick to seize the initiative.

With such a powerful weapon as the sacred tree sapling in his hand, Melen didn't believe that the forest wolf would not surrender.

After a long silence, Senlang's voice trembled faintly: "That just now, could it be the breath of mythical plant life?!"

Mellen chuckled and said, "It's just a seedling at the moment. How big it will grow in the future is hard to say."

After another period of silence, the forest wolves exhaled, and except for the one leading Mellen, all the other forest wolves slowly retreated.

Senlang raised his head slightly and looked at the banyan tree. He said, "We possess a special symbiotic talent. This talent allows us to coexist with any plant life. After the symbiosis is completed, we can share its talent and power."

"Of course, so-called symbiosis is a win-win situation. While we share the talents and strengths of plants, we also have to take responsibility for helping them grow and expand."

"When we first found this ancient banyan tree, it was just a relatively powerful individual in the Green and Tranquil Area. With its support, we gave birth to many saints, and with our help, the ancient banyan tree gradually spread its aerial roots throughout the area."

"Thousands of years? Or tens of thousands of years? I can't remember, but during these long years, we supported each other and grew together."

Having said this, Senlang paused for a moment before continuing, "So, outsider, although my instincts are desperately longing for it, I am not a beast controlled by desire after all. I'm afraid I can't leave with you."

Melen was a little surprised, but after hearing what Senlang said, he felt a little enlightened.

This ancient banyan tree is a plant life and has a very obvious advantage in growth. At this time, considering its size that covers the entire green area, the power contained in its body is at least hundreds of times that of an ordinary saint.

But, success is due to talent, and failure is also due to talent.

For plant life like the ancient banyan tree, it is much more difficult to break through the shackles and become a demigod than for other life forms.

However, the sapling of the sacred tree in Mellen's hand is inherently a demigod, and with its talent for connecting the world, it is possible that it will grow even further in the future.

More importantly, the seedlings of the sacred tree possessed powerful spatial talents and could take root in the void, so they did not need to be confined to a fixed area like most plant life.

If the forest wolf coexists with the seedling of the sacred tree, it can obtain a higher growth limit and also gain a certain degree of freedom.

When the pros and cons are laid out on the table at the same time, normally, Senlang's choice should be obvious.

However, intelligent life is capable of making "stupid" actions, such as giving up greater benefits for certain things.

Emotions, beliefs, and spiritual sustenance, to a certain extent, can also be regarded as the shining points that are unique to intelligent life.

At this point, it was Mellen's turn to be distressed. He thought it was a win-win deal, but in the end, the win-win went to the other party, and he became the one who wanted to break up the couple.

However, Mellen has his own moral bottom line after all. He may be able to make flexible adjustments for necessary interests, but under normal circumstances, this bottom line is still quite strong.

Just as Melen was about to unilaterally declare the journey over, Senlang seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Outsider, although I cannot leave with you, are you willing to accept another option?"

"Oh?" Mellen asked doubtfully, "Tell me about it."

Senlang said: "I can split a part of my own origin and form a new symbiont, and let it follow you away. What do you think?"

"Classify your own origins and form a completely new individual?" Mellen's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected such an operation to work, so he thought for a moment and asked, "Will this new individual you split into inherit the same symbiotic talent as you?"

Senlang nodded and said, "Of course, the split individual will inherit all my current talents, but will give birth to a brand new consciousness."

Mellen nodded slightly and asked the most crucial question: "So, is this new symbiote you split into, or is it your current forest wolf form?"

Senlang nodded again in affirmation.

Mellen breathed a sigh of relief. He never expected that after reaching the end of his rope, there would be a new way out. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the final result was quite good.

"One last question. Why are you willing to deplete your own essence to help me?"

Senlang said calmly, "Perhaps it stems from a small reluctance deep in my heart. Although I have made my own choice, I also want my descendants to take my place and see the scenery beyond."

Mellen nodded and said, "Don't worry, it will."

For Melen, this was the best outcome. According to his original idea, he wanted to train a dog with wood-attribute talent, and then bind it to the sacred tree sapling with a contract.

Although this method can utilize the power of the sacred tree seedling to a certain extent, it is ultimately too crude and inferior.

The symbiotic talent of the forest wolf is obviously more suitable.

At this moment, the ancient banyan tree shook slightly, and the canopy that was so huge that it covered the entire area made a continuous "rustling" sound. Rich life energy rose from each aerial root, surging and converging on the roots and branches, eventually forming a huge wave.

At the same time, more than ten saints and one-third of the individuals in the forest wolf group silently transformed into shining stars and merged into the green wave.

Finally, the wave gathered in front of Mellen and condensed into a fist-sized, crystal clear green gem, in which a small green forest wolf was curled up.

After taking the green orb, Mellen did not stay for long and left the area.

Senlang sent Mellen to the edge of the green area and watched him leave silently until his figure completely disappeared.

After walking out of several areas, Mellen briefly checked the green orb and confirmed that there was no problem before signing a contract with the little forest wolf.

The contract that Mellen signed was an equal contract that he developed by combining the inheritance of many extraordinary beast-taming professions and his own profession as a "Wolf Tamer."

After both parties sign the contract, Melen will become a close ally with Gouzi.

Although they are only close allies, combined with Mellen's affinity for dogs, as long as he does not betray first, the dogs will always stand on his side and fight for him.

Mellen also signed this kind of contract with other dogs, but some were in the name of individuals, and some were in the name of races.

The green gem burst like a bubble, and the little forest wolf seemed to have just woken up from a dream. It yawned, twisted its body in a daze, and then saw Melen who was holding it up.

The little forest wolf showed a visibly happy expression and kept rolling around in Mellen's hands.

Melen also smiled and teased the little forest wolf for a while.

During this process, Melen also checked the attributes of the little forest wolf, and paid special attention to the latter's symbiotic talent.

After playing for a while, Melen summoned Gao Vigaruru and brought the sapling of the sacred tree.

That's right, Melen is now ready to let the little forest wolf and the sacred tree seedling complete symbiosis.

Unlike extraordinary professions or other acquired abilities, which also require consideration of carrying capacity, the Forest Wolf's symbiotic talent allows them to directly bind to a plant. The lagging party will quickly catch up with the other party under the influence of the symbiotic talent.

Therefore, even the forest wolf, which was born not long ago, can coexist with powerful plant life.
