131: seed
After catching more than ten Sword Woods using the same method, Luo Chen stopped his idea of continuing to mess with these Sword Woods.
In the forest formed by these Sword Woods, a large open space appeared.
Just as Luo Chen was taking a short rest, he suddenly felt that the surrounding environment had become eerily quiet for some unknown reason.
At the same time, a feeling of his hair standing on end came from his body; this was his body warning Luo Chen.
Subconsciously, Luo Chen sprang to the side.
'Boom'
A sudden explosion occurred where Luo Chen had been standing.
As the smoke and dust cleared, the object that caused this scene was revealed.
It was a bronze sword with rusted copper marks on its surface, and its hilt was still trembling slightly, as if it was about to pull itself out of the ground and continue its attack on Luo Chen.
Seeing this situation, Luo Chen immediately understood what was happening; he had caught the small ones, and now the old ones had come.
Little Dot floated beside Luo Chen, patted his shoulder, and gestured for him to look up at the sky.
Luo Chen followed its instruction and looked up, almost letting out a 'holy cow'.
The overwhelming, variously shaped iron swords, as if following some plan, were covering Luo Chen's direction.
Compared to the Spirit Rank Sword Woods, this was the true Myriad Swords Flow.
Without a word, Luo Chen pulled Little Fluffball and enveloped himself in a giant shield formed by various elements.
"Little Dot, quickly use Spatial Shuttle, ten kilometers to the right. Little Fluffball, hold them off for now."
Little Dot nodded, and spatial fluctuations emanated from its body.
The torrent of iron swords was getting closer and closer to Luo Chen and them.
Before long, the first batch of iron swords had already made contact with the elemental giant shield formed by Little Fluffball's Elemental Tail.
"Clang"
Some iron swords were bounced away by the elemental giant shield, but the continuous stream of subsequent iron swords quickly caused cracks to appear in the elemental giant shield.
A few iron swords slipped through the cracks into the interior of the elemental giant shield, where these 'fish that slipped through the net' were deftly caught by the giant mental hand formed by Little Fluffball's Mental Tail.
As the cracks gradually widened, the elemental giant shield finally couldn't hold on and shattered directly into pieces.
The subsequent torrent of iron swords was no longer obstructed and fiercely struck down towards the three of them.
However, beneath the shattered elemental giant shield, Luo Chen and the two little ones were nowhere to be seen.
The subsequent tens of thousands of iron swords missed their target, sticking densely into the ground, as if forming a graveyard of ten thousand swords here.
However, very quickly, these iron swords trembled in unison according to a certain frequency, and with the first iron sword taking flight, all the iron swords returned the way they came.
As soon as Luo Chen recovered from the dizziness of traversing space, he felt another shadow looming over him from above.
At this point, Luo Chen no longer bothered with his fear of heights, he put Little Fluffball back into his Beast Space, grabbed Little Dot, and flew out of the shadow.
Fortunately, the descending speed of this looming shadow was not fast.
Luo Chen, who had just escaped the shadow's range, hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief when he was suddenly enveloped in a burst of light, without even time to react, and was annihilated along with Little Dot in the Ancient Wood Spirit Realm.
The Chaoyang Starwood shook its canopy; it seemed something had been swept by the light it emitted just now.
However, an existence that couldn't even resist the Warm Sun Ray didn't seem to be worth caring about.
Ignoring this small interlude, many light orbs, like small suns, suddenly fell from the Chaoyang Starwood.
They smashed towards a War Ancient Tree, an existence like a treant, on the opposite side.
Zooming out, Luo Chen's recent landing spot was actually on a fierce battlefield.
There were War Treants, humanoid but thousands of meters tall, Chaoyang Starwoods with light orbs shuttling through their canopies, and Bloodthirsty Demon Vines dripping with blood.
Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and more, various plant-type Beasts were constantly fighting here.
From their appearance, they came from different races, and perhaps no one knew what they were fighting for.
Survival or elimination?
In such a battlefield, King-Ranked Beasts were cannon fodder, Savage Beasts were small soldiers, and Star Beasts were the true main force.
No wonder Luo Chen was directly hit by an unintentional Skill from someone else as soon as he entered the battlefield, turning into dust.
Luo Chen's appearance did not even cause a ripple in this battlefield.
...
Chenyang Pet Store, Stone Spirit Secret Realm.
Luo Chen, sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes.
A deep sense of confusion appeared in his eyes; he didn't seem to realize why he had suddenly returned, hadn't he dodged the black shadow descending from the sky?
Luo Chen rubbed his head and asked in a slightly tired voice:
"System, what happened just now?"
"It's obvious, Host, your teleportation location wasn't very good; you landed in a battlefield in the Ancient Wood Spirit Realm, then were hit by the aftermath of the battle, and then returned here."
Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly; he didn't expect to have arrived in a battlefield. No wonder the place he appeared in was so lively; it turned out there was a war.
However, even if he was the 'innocent bystander' caught in the crossfire, Luo Chen still asked through gritted teeth: "Whose Skill hit me?"
"Chaoyang Starwood."
"Okay, I understand."
Luo Chen stood up and stretched his limbs, asking casually:
"What time is it now?"
"August 12th, nine in the morning."
A thoughtful look flashed in Luo Chen's eyes; his trip to the Ancient Wood Spirit Realm this time had taken nearly two days.
Summoning the two little ones from his Beast Space, Luo Chen had Little Dot retrieve the harvest from its space.
Fifteen Spirit Rank Beast Sword Woods, dozens of azure spirit fruits, and leaves of unknown plant-type Beasts.
There were many types of these leaves; Luo Chen basically secretly picked some whenever he saw tall trees.
However, most of them were picked up from the ground, because some tree-type Beasts looked really difficult to deal with.
The only ones he dared to act on were those Spirit Rank Beast Sword Woods, but the Sword Woods he caught also seemed to be in an immature State.
Because Luo Chen found that further away from that patch of Sword Woods, the rest of the Sword Woods were nearly a thousand meters tall.
Could it be that the place he landed was really the Sword Wood's cub hatching area?
Finally, the Overturning Sea Cloud Whale, Little Dot, took out the last item from its space, that green-glowing, seed-like object.
Through the faint green light surrounding it, its main body looked rather unremarkable, but when Luo Chen's mental scan reached it, an ancient and rustic aura rushed towards him.
After looking for a long time, Luo Chen couldn't find any existing plant Beast seeds in Huaguo that were exactly the same as it.
In the end, Luo Chen could only seek the System's help.
"System, what is this thing?"
"20 points."
Luo Chen unilaterally blocked the System, silently muttering, "Miser."
Then he unblocked the System and said in a friendly tone: "Okay, tell me now."
After Luo Chen's points balance on his panel changed from 150 points to 130 points, the System finally contentedly explained the origin of this item to Luo Chen.
"This is the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life. Plant it, cultivate it with suitable resources, and you can obtain an Ancient Tree of Life."
"Is the Ancient Tree of Life a Beast, or just a rare resource?"
"Of course it's a Beast."
Luo Chen's face showed confusion, "Since it's a Beast, why were the two Savage Beasts frantically fighting over it? Was it to raise it and then eat it?"
"Not so. Although it is a Beast, in the growth of a Beast, it is even more useful than many rare resources, especially for Life Type or Wood Type Beasts; it is practically a sacred existence."
"Alright, then how should it be cultivated? Should I plant it directly in the secret realm?"
"Possible, but you need to provide it with a large amount of Life Type or Wood Type resources. Who knows, it might sprout one day when it's happy."
???
Luo Chen's face was full of question marks, "I provide it with resources, and it only sprouts when it's happy?"
This truly treated him like an ancestor.
Luo Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, directly dug a twenty-centimeter small pit where he was standing, buried the seed, and then watered it with some spirit spring water.
He clapped his hands, then spoke as if to himself, and also as if to the Ancient Tree of Life's seed,
"This is all I can provide you. Whether you sprout or not depends on your own luck."
After doing all this, he made a mark at the spot where the Ancient Tree of Life seed was planted, then turned and left the Stone Spirit Secret Realm.
If he remembered correctly, today seemed to be the last day of Luo Yang's competition.
Since he had returned today, he had to go and watch.
Illusion World.
When Luo Chen entered Luo Yang's competition venue, his new match had just begun.
Coincidentally, Luo Yang's opponent in this round was an old acquaintance of Luo Chen's.
Ban Mo.
The young man who used the Thousand Tribulation Beast's egg to treat his Beast.
He didn't expect him to also participate in the Beast Master competition and even enter the top twenty.
Luo Chen looked at Luo Yang's score, 17.5 points; it seemed this should be his last match.
He then looked at Ban Mo's score, 10 points; although it didn't seem very high, if this was the last match, he was definitely strong enough to advance to the top ten.
Although Luo Chen knew Ban Mo, he had never met Luo Yang, so the two did not know each other.
Floating behind Ban Mo was still his Darkspawn · Shadowbat, but compared to when they first met, it was now at the Spirit Beast Nine-Star State.
He wondered if he had contracted any new Beasts during this time.
If he had achieved such results with just one Darkspawn · Shadowbat, then it only showed that his combat Skills were quite terrifying.
However, Luo Chen wasn't too worried about Luo Yang's match, because in just two days, both of Luo Yang's Beasts had reached the Spirit Beast Nine-Star realm.
Two against one, and with the Nightshade Dark Spirit Bird having a new awakened Skill, even if Ban Mo had contracted two Beasts,
Luo Yang's chances of winning were still very high.
