Chapter 324: Tree Demon Shop


    With the Blue Moon Bow in his possession, Li Yao suddenly felt an icy breath envelop him. Following this, his body abruptly transformed, turning directly into a werewolf emanating ck mist.


    Unlike the werewolves of the Light Faction, his entire body was a deep ck. Apanied by the surging ck mist and his glowing red eyes, a wild aura radiated from him.


    Li Yao quickly removed the special effects, reverting back to his original self. He didn’t need to experiment further; just feeling the change in his attributes gave him an idea of the extent of the werewolf’s flexibility.


    Li Yao then casually swung his arm, triggering the Blue Moon Bow, which initially resembled a shortbow but then abruptly transformed into a gigantic longbow as tall as a person.


    Li Yao tried to draw the bow but found it required immense strength. In this form, his agility was significantly hindered. The speed of drawing the bow was noticeably slower, making it impossible to achieve five arrows per second with Rapid Shooting.


    Of course, even without Rapid Shooting, it would be impossible for him to do five arrows per second in his normal form. Li Yao estimated that as a werewolf, he could probably fire two and a half arrows per second under ordinary conditions.


    But don’t underestimate the increase of half an arrow’s speed. It’s challenging to boost further once you’ve surpassed certain limits.


    Swish…


    When Li Yao released the bowstring, his life force suddenly decreased by 20%. The originally light-blue Blue Moon Bow disyed a trace of blood, and its body shuddered slightly, as if excited by the taste of fresh blood.


    “Indeed, it’s a magic bow, harming others before harming itself.” Li Yao hadn’t even notched the arrow, but just drawing the bowstring resulted in blood loss. He feared if he were to draw the string again, he would directly lose two levels. He quickly stored the Blue Moon Bow. This bow was particrly daunting.


    Yet, excluding the case of missing targets with arrows, this was indeed a divine bow.


    Li Yao nned to reinforce the bow when he had time, aiming to strengthen it to above +10. This bow could then be useful up to level 25 without being out of date. Its special effects were still strong and not obsolete.


    Subsequently, Li Yao didn’t rush to the temple. If he, not being a Priest of the Moon nor intending to be one, rashly approached the temple, he would definitely raise suspicion and attract attention.


    Li Yao began to ept a few trivial quests that could bepleted with a little money or running errands.


    For example, trimming the pot nts for an NPC at their doorstep, driving away the moles from another NPC’s backyard garden, or running errands to buy things for an elf.


    Li Yaopleted dozens of these tasks, which yers would typically only be interested in doing at night. Despite this, his reward was only five silver coins, 10% experience, improving his reputation in Amrant to friendly, and a 112-point increase in his race’s reputation.


    If it hadn’t been to boost his data in the Light Faction and improve his reputation, he would never take on such mundane tasks.


    By game-time nightfall, the yers who went out for leveling gradually came back, and Amrant began to buzz with excitement once again.


    “Finally, it’s night. The shop should be open. Once I get a couple more items, I should be able toplete the task.” After having some food, Li Yao logged back in.


    He slowly approached a massive tree. It was grand and thick, situated in a corner of the city. There were no magicmps nearby, let alone any yers.


    Looking up, Li Yao could just see a tiny glimmer of light on the tree crown.


    “This must be the ce.” Li Yao didn’t use his wings, as it would be too conspicuous.


    He triggered the special effect of the Blue Moon Bow on his back, turning directly into a werewolf and skillfully began climbing the tree.


    This was a challenge for ordinary yers, but it was much easier for Li Yao as a werewolf. He made it to the top of the towering tree that was over 200 yards high with ease.


    Finally, Li Yao spotted a window flickering withmplight. He circled around and came to a doorway in the trunk. There was a wooden sign, written in the ancient Dark Elfnguage: Tree Demon Shop.


    Tree Demons, ording to legend, were the descendants of natural demigods. While called tree demons, they were actually deer-bodied humans, closely resembling natural demigods in overall appearance.


    Natural demigods were half-human, half-deer. There’s a theory that natural demigods were the offspring of an ancient semi-god giant deer and the moon god. There’s also an argument that the Green Dragon Queen was his birth mother. In any case, there are many legends.


    The consort of the natural demigods was the wilderness demigod. Together they had many offspring. The ancestor of the centaurs was also a powerful Tree Demon.


    Unlike the savage and brutal centaurs, tree demons were gentle by nature, keen on tranquillity, and fond of nature. Given theirplex rtionships, tree demons and ancient elves were very close.


    The strength of the ancient elvesy not only in their eternal life as the first race of the ancient gods, but also in their numerous allies and acquaintances with many formidable creatures.


    Li Yao slowly walked in. A beautiful female tree demon, busy with experiments at the alchemy table, said, “Not many elves know about this ce, especially little ones like you. Are you sure you didn’t lose your way?”


    “This is a shop, and I’m here to buy things.” Li Yao gave a polite bow before responding.


    “Not many youngsters know the ancientnguage nowadays. But don’t worry, all items for sale here have samples and descriptions. Feel free to take a look around and broaden your horizons a little. My shop hasn’t had customers in a while.” The tree demon shook her head. She didn’t believe this little guy could afford anything, so she didn’t even stop her experiments.


    “Alright.” Li Yao didn’t argue. After all, as the tree demon mentioned, he couldn’t afford anything too pricey.


    For instance, the small bottle of crimson blood in front of him wasbeled in the ancientnguage as: “Youngest spouse of the Red Dragon Queen, fresh blood of the dragon warrior, dark gold grade material. Price: 100,000 gold coins.”


    The dragon warrior mentioned here was a formidable world-ss boss.


    Right next to it was a bead radiating a refreshing aura, marked: “Essence of Water from the transformation of the Tide Controller, dark gold grade material or ornament. Price: 150,000 gold coins.”


    The Tide Controller referred to here was not an organization but a powerful Water Elemental Lord of the Water Elemental World and the ancient god’s ocean dominator. A demigod strongman.


    “Heart of the Oak, a mature seed detached from the mother tree before the great copse. Price: 300,000 gold coins.”


    The mother tree once connected the void, sustaining a portion of the Void World, rumored to be the homnd of the souls of the living beings in the Ancient God World after death. All seeds of trees in the Ancient God World originated from there. Although it wasn’t a god, it was a formidable entity that even gods would not dare to offend.


    The Heart of the Oak was, in fact, the seed of the World Tree. The World Tree in the ancient elves’ world was grown from the Heart of the Oak.


    Even though Li Yao was well-off, he couldn’t afford any of these precious items.


    Li Yao looked around, then quietly waited for the tree demon to finish her experiment.


    After a while, the tree demon finally stopped. She put away a potion bottle that was shing with colorful lights and said with a cheerful smile, “Little guy, why the silence? You didn’t get scared, did you?”…
