132: The Tree of Souls! Another opportunity quest has been triggered!

"What? The monster wasn't killed?"

Su Lie was stunned. He got up and walked over to a Mist firearm auxiliary base. After the Little Skeleton came out, he quickly sat down inside.

When he looked through the base's holographic screen and saw the scene in the city ruins 10 kilometers away.

Su Lie's heart began to pound fiercely.

A sheet of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

He saw.

In the sea of fire at the center of the explosion in the ruins visible through the scope.

A tree of light, entirely condensed from pale blue light points, was rapidly growing wildly.

In just the blink of an eye.

This tree had grown directly from a height of five or six meters to fifty or sixty meters.

And accompanying its growth.

The flames, thermal radiation, and other energies at the explosion center were rapidly diminishing.

While this giant tree was growing, a vast cluster of glowing plants covering dozens of kilometers was also growing wildly around it.

As these plants grew.

Su Lie also saw their branches piercing into the surrounding air.

In the areas where the branches paused, there were fluctuations of distorted air.

As if something had been stabbed.

Su Lie left the base and picked up the mountain-viewing jade mirror, and upon looking, he discovered.

The cluster of plants that had grown in the area he had just observed was actually continuously devouring the other monsters around it.

Looking at the expansion of this plant cluster.

Su Lie realized a question: "Why haven't they invaded the Gravity Oasis area?"

Yes!

The speed of the plant's spread was extremely fast; in this short time, it had already exceeded the observable distance of the mountain-viewing jade mirror.

Moreover, Su Lie also noticed that when these plants approached the Gravity Oasis area, they actively avoided that direction, turning instead to spread toward other areas.

This was very strange!

Su Lie couldn't figure out the reason: "Perhaps it's a plant characteristic! They can't survive in the gravity area!"

That was the only possibility!

He immediately looked at his panel.

He saw that his experience points had jumped from the previous 501 points to 6,627 points.

"Hiss! One strike killed a total of 3,063 monsters, but there were no Treasure Chest drops? It seems that attacks from weapons like the moonlight bug bomb cannot trigger my Basic Resource Chest Drop Talent!"

Su Lie couldn't help but gasp, analyzing the situation carefully.

He was still 1,874 experience points away from leveling up.

Subsequently.

Su Lie couldn't help but ponder: "Although the moonlight bug bomb is good, it can trigger a plant disaster. I won't explore that area for now. I'll arrange for the Little Skeleton to conduct 24/7 monitoring there and record all relevant information!"

Just then.

[Buzz!]

A mist rule notification jumped into Su Lie's sight.

[Congratulations, you have received an Opportunity Mission!]

[The Soul Spirit Tree Seed was activated by your moonlight bug bomb's attack and grew into a self-aware Mist Monster by absorbing thermal radiation and a large amount of energy, thus shedding its spectral form and becoming a physical Undead Race member.

However, it is not satisfied with the current situation, because it knows there are still some powerful nether ghosts in its area.

In order to become stronger.

The Soul Spirit Tree wants to trade a Soul Spirit Tree fruit with you, hoping you will fire another moonlight bug bomb at it!]

[Note: The Soul Spirit Tree fruit is an extremely rare god-tier fruit. After consumption, it can instantly increase your Spirit attribute by +10,000 points, and also allow you to awaken the Yin-Yang Eyes Talent and gain an offensive ghost Skill.

[Note: The ghost Skill is a type of Skill that can affect nether ghosts, and requires the prerequisite Talent Yin-Yang Eyes to be used.

[Note: You may refuse this trade. You will not face any threat if you refuse.

[Note: Upon completing this Mission, you will receive a reward of Mist Points.

... "So that giant tree is called the Soul Spirit Tree... It seems my previous guess was correct; there are nether ghosts in the surrounding area that are invisible to the naked eye!"

Su Lie's heart pounded wildly upon seeing this. After a brief thought, he replied: "I agree to the trade!"

[Buzz!]

[Please complete the trade content within 5 minutes, or the trade will be considered a failure!]

The mist rule notification immediately appeared in Su Lie's sight.

The reason Su Lie agreed to this Opportunity Mission was that he needed the Yin-Yang Eyes and the ghost Skill.

He was going to venture out and explore.

There was nothing left to explore in the Gravity Oasis area.

He could only go to the city ruins on the periphery.

Not only were there mutated monsters there, but also ghosts and undead, which were monsters that could only be seen through the Yin-Yang Eyes.

Therefore.

He needed this soul spirit fruit.

Subsequently.

Su Lie immediately took out the materials for making the moonlight bug bomb on the city wall and crafted it using the blueprint from the Permanent Treasure Refining Skill.

This time, he did not Enhance the moonlight bug bomb.

Because this bomb was already a god-tier bomb, and even without Strengthening, its existing special effects were sufficient.

After Su Lie finished the settings, he called out the activation command: "Listen to the dragon's roar!"

Whoosh!

The moonlight bug bomb quickly completed its launch state adjustment.

After Su Lie set the target as the Soul Spirit Tree, he commanded the launch.

Buzz!

In an instant, an ear-piercing buzzing sound was heard between heaven and earth.

This sound was like the flight of a fly amplified tens of thousands of times.

Su Lie couldn't help but cover his ears as he listened.

Ten seconds later.

Boom!

A deafening explosion sound came from the target area again.

However, this explosion did not release a shockwave or any towering flames.

In Su Lie's sight, the intense explosive flames generated by the moonlight bug bomb had just begun to expand before vanishing without a trace, like a deflated balloon.

Meanwhile, the Soul Spirit Tree had grown to nearly three hundred meters tall, its massive canopy covering dozens of kilometers, blotting out the sky and sun.

The part of the canopy facing the Shelter was forcibly halted right at the edge of the Gravity Oasis area.

This further confirmed to Su Lie that plants like the Soul Spirit Tree could not grow in the gravity area.

Su Lie breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, he did not receive any experience points.

[Buzz!]

The moment he closed his personal panel, the mist rule reward notification jumped into his sight.

[Congratulations, you have successfully completed this Opportunity Mission!]

[You have received the Mission trade item: Red God-level Quality soul spirit fruit!]

[Reward: 10,000 Mist Points!]

This reward brought Su Lie's Mist Points total to 7,361,450 points.

Su Lie looked at the fruit in his hand.

The fruit resembled a glowing jellyfish.

It was soft and sticky, like jelly.

Threads of ice-blue power flowed within its luminous veins.

He immediately looked at the fruit's panel.

[soul spirit fruit: Red God-level Quality; a fruit produced by the Soul Spirit Tree after it matures.

Effect: Spirit attribute +10,000 points; randomly awakens an offensive ghost Skill between purple epic quality and Red God-level Quality; grants the Red God-level Quality Talent Yin-Yang Eyes.]

"What a great item!"

Su Lie's eyes glowed with heat. Trading one moonlight bug bomb for a fruit like this was definitely worth it.

Before eating it, he decided to Enhance it.

Buzz!

"As expected!"

Upon seeing the successful Strengthening, Su Lie's tense mood instantly relaxed, and he burst out laughing.

After Strengthening.

He found that most of the soul spirit fruit's information hadn't changed, except that the random extraction of the ghost Skill had become the extraction of an offensive ghost Skill of Red God-level Quality.

Such a change was indeed worth celebrating.

Su Lie quickly ate the soul spirit fruit.

As he chewed, the soul spirit fruit's juice was like sweet nectar, extremely fragrant, and the flesh carried a strange herbal scent.

It also had a core, which carried an icy aura. It was cool upon entry, with a slight hint of mint flavor.

Just as Su Lie was hesitating whether to chew up the core and swallow it too.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations, you have successfully awakened the Yin-Yang Eyes Talent!]

[Yin-Yang Eyes: Red God-level Quality Talent; through the Yin-Yang Eyes, you can see energy forms, soul forms, and other nether Undead Race members that are invisible to the naked eye.

Note: Yin-Yang Eyes is the prerequisite Talent for learning ghost Skills. Possessing this Talent allows you to learn ghost Skills of all qualities.]

"Huh? If that's the case! Does having a certain quality of Yin-Yang Eyes mean you can only learn ghost Skills of that same quality? Then my Martial Dao Talent... that certainly explains it too!"

Su Lie's eyes widened upon seeing this. He thought of another Talent he had acquired previously, and upon closer inspection, he understood.

He also realized.

That this type of Skill, which requires a prerequisite Talent to learn.

Has many restrictions!

At this moment.
