Big Bush Corn and Big Spring Corn
Chapter 937 Big Bush Corn and Big Spring Corn
The nightmare of the giant fodder corn gradually revived, its leaves gradually pieced together, and the corn kernels were restored one by one. Then, a completely intact magical plant appeared.
The nightmare of the giant fodder corn was gasping for breath.
"Fortunately, these days everyone needs some skills. That old bastard obviously never expected I to have the ability to regenerate. Hahahaha! I'll tear him to pieces! He even said he'd save me, purify me? What an overconfident fool..."
"Huh? Where's the old man?"
The Great Grass Corn Nightmare searched around, turning in confusion, but couldn't find the human figure in this emerald dream.
The giant fodder corn nightmare, with its pair of scarlet eyes, suddenly turned to look at the only person present—Locke Augustine.
Locke Augustine looked the magical plant up and down.
"I see. I originally thought that some crystallization experiments failed, leading to the mass death of magical plants. But now it seems that's not the case. If even the Great Grass Corn, known for its regeneration, dies in such experiments, then there's only one possibility. The crystallization experiment itself is quite damaging to magical plants."
The nightmare of the giant fodder corn asked, "Who are you?"
Where is that person from just now?
"Confess honestly..."
The giant fodder corn nightmare stared wide-eyed in terror as the giant jujube in Locke's hand suddenly stretched infinitely forward, towards him, piercing through its body.
"how is this possible?"
"This speed?"
"So fast!"
"wizard!"
The nightmare of the giant fodder corn grinned maliciously.
"You want to purify me too? But aren't you wizards the ones who have polluted the most plants? What do you have to say about your crimes? I will take revenge on all of you wizards! I will enter the wizarding world and wreak havoc! I..."
The corn leaves of the Great Grass Corn Nightmare transformed into countless corn leaf whips, which lashed out at Locke. The countless corn leaf whips struck Locke's body, but were weakly deflected.
The natural circulating force field shell was so powerful that it deflected all its attacks.
Even if the Star Ring Demon Plants are reborn as Nightmares, their power cannot be unleashed on their own unless a wizard uses them.
The nightmare of giant fodder corn is unbelievable.
"Just an ordinary second-circle wizard. How could that be..."
It immediately increased its attack speed, and countless corn leaf whips lashed out at Locke, while corn silks attacked Locke like poisonous dragons.
'Bang bang bang~'
Both corn leaves and corn silk were repelled by Locke's permanent defensive force field shell.
Locke walked calmly toward it. “Big Fodder Corn Nightmare, I’m furious. You tried to kill him right in front of me, and you even tried to defile his body. I thought I would remain calm, that I was just an observer, but I’m infuriated right now.”
A nascent star ring appeared beneath Locke's feet.
This ring of stars is in the process of forming, yet remains unfinished.
That was the endless void's warning to ordinary beings, urging them to stay away from the place where the Star Ring appeared, and to stay away from those who, because they were too powerful, were a void crisis as long as they existed.
This star ring is also a symbol of this star ring wizard.
The Great Grass Corn Nightmare saw Locke's Star Ring, so magnificent, the enormous starlight seemed to be reflected in fire, two different flames were burning this Star Ring, the civil and military flames were intertwined, trying to completely refine Locke's power into the Star Ring.
Locke was now very close to becoming a Star Ring Wizard.
He was probably in the same state as Rose the Witch of old, but Locke felt no joy at the moment; he only felt extremely angry.
Fear finally welled up in the eyes of the giant fodder corn nightmare.
That doesn't seem like a star ring that he was born with.
That is a star ring obtained by an organism through its own efforts.
The lower a being's starting point, the greater the threat they pose if they can obtain the Star Ring through their own efforts.
The giant jujube under the body of the giant fodder corn nightmare suddenly swelled up. The giant jujube can be big or small, thick or thin. Just now it suddenly grew longer and pierced through its body. Now this giant jujube suddenly grew thicker and burst its entire body.
The body of the giant fodder corn nightmare was reduced to fragments.
Locke waved his hand and used Accelerated Growth on him. In the blink of an eye, the corn silk fragments were pieced together, and then a complete Great Foeweed Corn Nightmare appeared in front of Locke.
It roared at Locke.
"You also want to purify me, wizard!"
Fear appeared in its eyes.
Locke appeared behind it in an instant.
The moment it turned around, a towering jujube tree grew as fast as before, piercing its body like an arrow.
This is a second-circle spell model that Locke modified himself using the Ranger system: Swift Arrow and Jujube Thrust.
By developing the flexible and extensible ability of the Sky-Piercing Jujube, and using the subspecies [Swift Arrow Jujube Thorn] spell model evolved from the Peach Bow Thorn Arrow, its extensibility is accelerated, allowing it to fly out like a needle, pierce the enemy's body, and thicken in an instant, completely destroying the enemy's body.
Locke used his accelerated growth technique again to restore his body to its original state.
The Big Grass Corn Nightmare screamed, seemingly wanting to attack Locke, but the next moment, its entire body was pierced by Locke's Sky-Piercing Jujube.
The Great Grass Corn Nightmare returned to its original state for the third time. This time, it did not attempt to attack but instead turned and fled into the distance.
It ran away very fast, but Locke appeared in front of it.
"Wait, stop... I suddenly feel a sense of goodness... You just wanted to purify me, wasn't it for my own good..."
The giant fodder corn nightmare was terrified and pretended to beg for mercy. The next moment, its body was pierced by the jujube thorns.
Locke said calmly, "You've got one thing wrong. I don't want to purify you; I just want to kill you to vent my anger."
“I kill you not for the sake of heaven, not for the sake of earth, not for the sake of nature, but simply to vent my anger.”
The Great Grass Corn Nightmare has been resurrected once again, and with each resurrection, its power diminishes by one point.
Locke's power at this moment was too close to that of the Star Ring Wizard, and his attacks were extremely fierce and ruthless. So, the Great Grass Corn Nightmare had just been resurrected when it was pierced through by the Sky-High Date, which was extending rapidly like a rocket.
The Giant Grass and Corn Nightmare: "Ah!" Fear truly welled up in the Giant Grass and Corn Nightmare's eyes.
For the next fifty-one times, no matter how the Great Grass Corn Nightmare returned to its original state—whether it attacked, fled, defended, or even begged for mercy—Locke would simply raise his hand, and the matchstick-sized, towering jujube in his palm would immediately fly out and pierce through its body.
Locke's power is almost that of a Star Ring Wizard, and he uses Star Ring Magic Plants in a special way.
Furthermore, the second-circle spell model he used, [Swift Arrow Jujube Thrust], could unleash the special power of the Sky-Piercing Jujube, so the Great Grass Corn Nightmare had no ability to resist.
Of course, this is also because Orion and the other Rangers had recorded the power of these Crystal Nightmares using the Path of Nemesis: Leaf of Power when they fought them, so they were countered by Locke's power at this moment.
After all, the source of power for the Path of Nemesis: Leaf of Power is the Beast Panel.
After fifty-one attempts, the Great Grass and Corn Nightmare seemed to have been killed too many times. "You..."
The giant fodder corn nightmare was utterly terrified. It cried out in horror, "I don't want revenge anymore."
Because Locke killed it more than fifty times in a row, the heavy particle pollution of the elemental flammability on the Great Grass Corn Nightmare faded considerably. Its blue color almost disappeared, and its entire body almost turned into a normal Great Grass Corn Nightmare.
The nightmare of the large fodder and corn is currently making him dizzy.
"Wait, I'm not having nightmares anymore. Wait... don't kill me."
"Sorry……"
The next moment, the jujube in Locke's hand pierced through its body, tearing it to shreds in an instant.
This time, the nightmare of the giant fodder corn did not revive.
Even the resurrection ability of the real-world Big Grass Corn Nightmare has its limits. Obviously, Locke's power has not truly reached the Star Ring level, and the condensation of his Great Magic is not enough, which results in the Big Grass Corn Nightmare resurrecting many times. Of course, this may not necessarily be a good thing for the Big Grass Corn Nightmare.
Resurrection is a good thing in itself, but if resurrection only allows Locke to kill more people to vent his anger, then it's not a good thing.
At this moment, the resurrection ability of the Great Grass Corn Nightmare reached its limit, and the next moment, the Nightmare was finally completely killed by Locke's Beast Panel.
The sound of the nightmare of the big fodder and corn disappeared into the air.
"Wait... I might know you. You're a ferocious beast... Ah, so you're the guardian of nature. But could you please not kill so many of me next time... Actually, I could have gotten rid of this pollution after the thirty-first time. Never mind, there won't be a next time anyway. I never want to be a nightmare again in my next life."
The nightmare of the Great Grass and Corn shattered, and countless spirits of the Great Grass and Corn circled around Locke once before heading deeper into the Emerald Dream.
At this moment, after the spirit of the Great Grass and Corn departed, a seed fell.
Locke looked at the bright yellow corn kernel in his hand and knew it was a fertile seed of fodder corn.
Locke frowned. He was quite exhausted at the moment and shouldn't be so agitated, but seeing his student about to be killed by that damned nightmare, he couldn't help but feel unsettled.
Locke said, "I am not a plant, so of course I cannot be without feelings."
"But this seed..."
He had a portion of the life essence he obtained from the Small Breath Cup, which could stimulate the seed and allow it to grow. However, Locke thought about it carefully and wondered whether he should do it.
Although the Great Grass Corn is a rare Star Ring Magic Plant, after fighting it just now, I suddenly felt that it was somewhat weak and its fighting style was different from mine.
"No, we should still plant it."
Locke realized that the giant fodder corn would be very useful for his atavistic evolution.
Because I had read related articles before, I learned that the Giant Grass Corn is a special magical plant that has no evolutionary path.
Most magical plants have intermediate states that evolve from one form to another.
However, there is no intermediate state for teosinte maize. It is completely separated from its ancestor, the teosinte maize, as if it suddenly evolved.
This remains a mystery to this day.
This is mainly because the wizards currently do not have any seeds of the Big Spring Corn.
It is said that the last specimen of the giant spring corn can only be found at the Rose Council, a specimen made by a botanical wizard in the past.
That specimen, however, became a treasure of the Rose Council.
Therefore, the relevant research is being conducted by the Rose Council. It is said that although both Big Bubble Corn and Big Spring Cannon Corn are Star Ring Magic Plants, they are worlds apart.
Because the breeding conditions for large-spring corn are even more difficult than those for large-grass corn.
Locke looked at the large hummus corn seed in his hand. Currently, large hummus corn is only a rare magical plant, while large spring cannon corn, which is also a Star Ring magical plant, is an extinct ancient magical plant.
'The Rose Council dared to use giant fodder corn for crystallization experiments. If I could cultivate it in this world and use it for experiments on atavism enhanced by the Golden Spell, I might obtain a lot of useful data…'
'Since the Timeline Stone has already been used, I might as well use the remaining time to conduct this experiment. If it succeeds, I can obtain the incomparably powerful "Great Spring Cannon Corn" mentioned by the Star Ring Wizards and Moon Ring Wizards of the Rose Council.'
Locke left the Emerald Dream.
He returned to the Three Caves World, where the major city-states were expanding rapidly. Some believed that kingdoms should be established, while others believed that the status quo should be maintained. The two sides argued endlessly, which caused the rangers who wanted to establish kingdoms to temporarily stop their actions.
They maintained the status quo for the time being.
It has simply entered a phase of rapid development again, with Rangers heading to mortal cities to recruit more people to become Rangers.
The Power Leaf system, which Orion had initially pushed halfway through, is still being pushed forward.
Locke, on the other hand, focused all his attention on his giant fodder corn plant. He planted the fertile corn kernel next to the golden tree and took out the life essence from the forest sanctuary, watering the kernel with it.
A year later, the fodder corn sprouted.
The Life Essence was originally intended for the Ancient Tree of Life, but now that the Ancient Tree of Life has developed its own immense magic, it is no longer needed.
Because the Tree of Prosperity can grow on its own as it forges immense magic.
Therefore, Locke decisively changed course and directly used his life essence on the large fodder corn. Moreover, he felt a certain unease, as if he would regret it for the rest of his life if he did not conduct an experiment on ancestral evolution in this world.
Locke frowned, pondering, "Could it be that something went wrong? What could be wrong? Aren't I on the path to becoming a Star Ring Wizard? My power is increasing every moment, and my magical power is becoming more profound every moment."
"There can't be any problem..."
"I am now almost at the point of becoming a Star Ring Wizard, it just takes a little more time."
The magnificent outline of the star ring behind him reappeared.
This is a warning sign that the endless void has given itself.
