Chapter 69
Spirit Seed - Demon Wood
"Brother Zhang, Sister Lin, you two have both reached the third level?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.
"Little Orange, it's been over a year since we last met. Shouldn't we have made some progress?" Liu Lin came to Lin Chen's side and patted him on the shoulder. "We can't just stay in the same place forever."
"That makes sense." Lin Chen chuckled.
"Captain, you were so cool when you announced our team's name! Look at the War Bear team, they ran away right away. Our team's reputation is going to grow even bigger!" Liu Meng said happily.
"That's for the best!" Zhang Tian was very happy.
"The captain of the War Bear Squad looked a little off when he left. Your Skyfire Squad should be more careful in the future; they might retaliate against you," Lingling warned.
"Thank you for your concern, Master Lingling. They are all mid-level mages. As long as their War Bear Squad dares to come, our Skyfire Squad is not afraid," Zhang Tian said confidently.
call!
A strong gust of wind swept past Lin Chen and the others with a whistling sound, interrupting their conversation.
"The spirit seed has taken shape," Lingling said.
In an instant, Lin Chen and his group all turned their attention to the place where the energy was contained.
There stands a towering tree, over thirty meters tall, requiring four people to encircle it. Its branches and leaves are lush and verdant, blocking out the sun. Layer upon layer of vines entwine its trunk, the vines glistening with verdant green.
"Huh? Didn't they say the spirit seed had taken shape? Why don't I see it?!" Ai Tutu circled the big tree twice, but still couldn't see any trace of the spirit seed.
Mu Nujiao covered her forehead with her right hand and pulled Ai Tutu back with her left: "I told you to read more books, but you didn't listen. All you do is watch dramas and scroll through short videos. Many spirit seeds are not directly exposed between heaven and earth, but are hidden in other objects. For example, this spirit seed should be parasitizing in this big tree."
"Oh!" Ai Tutu looked enlightened, but then said, "Sister Mu, reading makes me sleepy. You can just read and tell me the knowledge!"
Ai Tutu chuckled, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.
As Lin Chen watched Ai Tutu's large breasts jiggling as she spoke, he unconsciously nodded. Ai Tutu was best left as a pretty face; big breasts and no brains suited her perfectly. It wouldn't be fun if she became smarter.
"Where are you looking?" Liu Lin walked over to Lin Chen and patted him on the head.
"You big devil, you big pervert, you big weirdo!" Ai Tutu said, crossing her arms and glaring at Lin Chen.
"..." Lin Chen awkwardly scratched his head, then immediately changed the subject, asking Lingling, "Lingling, what kind of spirit seed do you think this is?"
Lingling rolled her eyes at Lin Chen, then said, "The plants in the entire valley look extremely ferocious, yet they are also exceptionally sturdy. In addition, the plants here are exceptionally lush, and their trunks are covered with dark red lines. I estimate that this spirit seed is a demon tree."
"Demon wood?" Mu Nujiao murmured to herself, then quickly asked, "How effective is the demon wood?"
"Demonwood is generally born in forests nourished by a large amount of demon blood. Its power is about 2.5 times that of ordinary species. Moreover, the magic enhanced by it will make the summoned plants much stronger and their fire resistance will be greatly improved. It is a very good spirit species. Its market price is about 30 million."
As Lingling spoke, she glanced at the members of the Skyfire Squad without making a sound. She noticed that they did not show any change in expression because of the price, and couldn't help but praise them in her heart.
Mu Nujiao's mouth opened slightly, her face beaming with joy; this operation had been incredibly profitable.
"Mu Nujiao, you should go and refine the spirit seed quickly, or things will get complicated!" Lin Chen said.
"By the way, the Demon Tree was born by absorbing the blood of demons, so it is more frenzied than other plant-type spirit species," Lingling reminded her.
Mu Nujiao nodded, walked to the big tree, stretched out her right hand, clenched it into a fist, and punched the tree trunk.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the base of the tree trunk suddenly exploded, revealing a large hole.
At some point, a water armor appeared on Mu Nujiao's body, which blocked the force of the tree trunk exploding.
After the large hole exploded, a rich life force rushed towards Mu Nujiao, and a greenish-blue spirit seed was floating in the hole.
Mu Nujiao didn't dare waste any time, so she quickly immersed her hands into the green light.
A surge of frenzied energy suddenly rose from her palm and rushed into Mu Nujiao's mind, but having already received Lingling's warning, Mu Nujiao was prepared and held her mind to resist the impact of this force.
Gradually, the manic feeling subsided, and Mu Nujiao felt an itch in her body, as if plant branches and leaves were growing inside her. However, Mu Nujiao did not feel that her life was threatened. Instead, a strange power was born in her body.
Mu Nujiao closed her eyes and carefully sensed this strange power. Soon she discovered that the plant-type nebula in her spiritual world had been baptized by the demonic wood, and the entire nebula had undergone a qualitative improvement.
When Mu Nujiao opened her eyes again, even before she had released any magic, she could clearly feel the powerful energy contained within the demonic wood.
"Sister Mu, hurry up and try it out, see how powerful the spirit seed is!" Ai Tutu shouted impatiently.
Mu Nujiao nodded, walked to a large tree that was as thick as two people could hug, and stopped. With a flick of her right hand, a green star trail appeared.
"Demon Tree - Vines - Pursuit!"
With a sharp shout from Mu Nujiao, several vines suddenly sprouted from the ground and easily pierced through the large tree in front of her, following the direction of her finger.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Ai Tutu clapped her hands and couldn't help but jump up. "Sister Mu, with your current strength, defeating the Great Demon King will be a piece of cake."
Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao, though not yet speaking, looked at Lin Chen with eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Lin Chen was completely dumbfounded: "I brought you here to find the spirit seed, and your first reaction is to hit me. Why do I feel like I'm some kind of vengeful spirit?"
"Because you deserve a beating!" Lingling couldn't help but complain.
"Lingling, which side are you on?" Lin Chen asked, somewhat annoyed.
"But I really want to know how strong you really are." Lingling was indeed very curious. They had known each other for almost a year, and Lingling always felt that Lin Chen's strength was far more than that. She had never seen Lin Chen lack confidence in anything.
"Let's have a match sometime!" Mu Nujiao walked up to Lin Chen and challenged him.
Lin Chen shook his head and refused without even thinking.
Meanwhile, Liu Lin and Rou Rou looked at Mu Nu Jiao, who was filled with fighting spirit, and a faint smile appeared on their lips. If they really witnessed Lin Chen's strength, they probably wouldn't have the desire to fight him.
