Chapter 509 - 509: The Shadow of the Thousand Transformer<div>


    Trantor: Lonelytree


    After a while.


    The grouse pped its wings and asked, “Why did you say chicken words?<div>


    “Are you also a chicken? “But you look too much like a person!”


    Matthew smiled amicably.


    ‘ I just learned yournguage by chance. There’s no need to be so surprised. There are many capable people among humans who canmunicate with other species. Mages are the best among them. Of course, if you’ve heard the legends of Druids, you won’t find it strange.”


    The grouse shook his head.


    “I don’t know what a Druid is, but I think that’s because I don’t have much Imowledge.


    “After all, I’m just a grouse that has just reached adulthood.” Matthew asked the new resident about his living experience.


    “Do you like this forest?”


    The grouse looked around.


    “It’s alright. The environment here is not bad. There are no natural enemies, but there’s ack of food.


    “It took me a few days to find an earthworm or something in the ground.


    “From a rational point of view, this ce is not suitable for living, but for some reason, there is a force that attracts me and urges me to settle down here.<div>


    “I even have the urge to return to my home in the barren mountains in the north and bring my family here.” Matthew understood.


    This was the effect of the Life Sanctuary.


    He immediately opened his arms in wee.


    “As the owner of this forest, I wee more outstanding residents like you.”


    The grouse looked at him warily.


    “Do you want to eat my eggs?


    Matthew asked,


    “Can youy eggs?”


    The grouse was stunned for a moment, then immediately said happily, “I can’ty eggs. Then it’s fine.”


    “But there are many hens in my family. They are good atying eggs. Do you want to eat their eggs?” Matthew blinked.


    “I can promise not to eat it.<div>


    But there are always risks in nature. I’m sure you know this better than me.” The grouse thought for a moment.


    ” That’s enough. We don’t want to be like those idiots on the farm and be human animals.


    “If your promise is true, I will consider bringing my entire family to this forest.


    ” We will live and multiply here. God bless us. I hope that snakes, wolverines, and other terrifying creatures will never appear in this forest!”


    Matthew naturally could not guarantee anything.


    He knew very well that as the power of the Life Sanctuary continued to spread, all kinds of creatures would appear in his forest. The paradise that the grouse dreamed of was destined to nevere true.


    “But as the first grouse to live in this forest, I can give you some preferential treatment.”


    Matthew mobilized the power of the oak tree domain and cast a permanent ‘ cover ” on him.


    This state allowed the grouse to have a powerful stealth effect when it walked into the domain. Especially when it was still, it was difficult for the enemy to discover its existence.


    The grouse immediately felt Matthew’s sincerity.


    He was overjoyed.


    ” You’re amazing, as expected of a human who can speak the chickennguage! “Thank you very much for your gift. I will tell all the grouse in the family what you have done.


    Right, Chicken Man, I have a gift for you.”


    As he spoke, he pped his wings and ran toward the riverbank of the Old Woman River.


    Matthew followed closely behind. “You can call me Matthew.”


    The grouse dug hard on the riverbank.


    “Got it, Chicken Man.”


    After a while.


    He dug a small hole in the soft sand.


    There were some strange broken stones and the bodies of some earthworms buried in the pit.


    In the middle of these things was a silver ne with a few small sapphires embedded in it.


    The grouse passed the ne to Matthew.


    He filled up the hole in the river bank.


    Then, he ran back into the oak forest without looking back.


    “I should go. If others find out that I’ve been talking to a human, they might think that I’m an indecent chicken.


    “I know you have a good impression of me, but we still have to keep our distance.


    “Goodbye, Chicken Man.”


    [Prompt: You havepleted an in-depth conversation with the grouse.


    Current animal conversation progress (1/300); Your XP +10;


    Your Nature Affinity has increased slightly.


    Your Knowledge (Nature-Birds)+l;


    You have received the gift of the grouse, “Swimmer’s Ne”.


    [Swimmer’s Ne: An ordinary sapphire silver ne with the remnant spirituality of a drowned healthy swimmer.]


    The wearer’s swimming ability +10, but there is a small chance of being attacked by water ghosts while swimming.


    The value of the ne was average. It could only be said that it had the potential to be a collectable.


    Matthew put away the ne.


    He knew very well that ” animal conversation ” was a way of practising the domain of nature, just like nting trees.


    He tried to activate this ability on the spot and then walked into the oak forest.


    However, he didn’t hear anything along the way.


    This was normal.


    The animals in the oak forest were few in both species and numbers.


    More importantly…


    There was a threshold for animals to talk to.


    Not every animal couldmunicate with humans. Even if they had this ability, they had to have a certain level of spirituality in order toplete the conversation.


    Compared to humans, most animals had very low spirituality.


    Generally speaking, the smaller the size, the younger the age, and the further away from human society, the lower the spirituality of animals..
