Beast Spirit

"What does summer look like specifically?"

"I don't know."

When summer arrives, the Flower Spirits sink into the tree roots to hibernate, so they don't know what summer is truly like. It's the same in winter; when the ground begins to freeze, they also sink into the tree roots to hibernate.

"Is that a magic staff in your hand?" Du Ke turned into a curious child, trying to extract as much valuable information as possible from Shawa Shawa.

"It's the flower stamen I shed when I advanced."

"Advanced? Flower stamen?"

"I call it the Heart Flower Stamen. It can grant me a new magic: Nature Healing," Shawa Shawa said, raising the Heart Flower Stamen in her hand and drawing a circle towards Du Ke.

Instantly, a faint green light shot out from the ruby at the tip of the Heart Flower Stamen and landed on Du Ke. He felt a tickling sensation in his feet, which then became cool and comfortable. He looked at his feet in surprise, quickly took off his shoes, and saw that the skin on his feet was completely unharmed. He had previously suffered from athlete's foot, which often caused small blisters and was quite itchy.

But now, the athlete's foot was gone.

"Amazing!" Du Ke exclaimed.

Shawa Shawa seemed delighted by the praise. She suddenly shouted a few words outside, and four larger Flower Spirits flew over. These Flower Spirits were smaller than Shawa Shawa, who was about two palms wide, but larger than Flower Spirits that were one palm wide – about one and a half palms wide. Each Flower Spirit held a flower stamen resembling a magic staff, and they danced up and down with smiles.

Shawa Shawa said, "They have all advanced."

"Meaning, they also know Nature Healing, just like you?"

Shawa Shawa shook her head and pointed to the four Flower Spirits one by one: "This one is Tirafeng Bergberg Gatuthea, she knows Nature Growth; this one is Simoadu Rusarusa Christina, she knows Nature Withering; this one is Sasfu Siser Siser Prodo, she knows Nature Spirit Summoning; and this one is Gulijike Azuazu Seloli, she knows Nature Summoning."

"Can you show me?"

The Flower Spirits were very friendly and happily agreed to demonstrate their magic for Du Ke.

Bergberg waved her green-haired flower stamen, a magic staff with many green hairs at the tip, and circled a blue reed on the ground. A green light flew out and landed on the reed. The blue reed immediately began to grow rapidly, sprouting tender, stick-like flower stamens in the blink of an eye. Then, the stamens puffed up, bearing clusters of tiny fruits.

Rusarusa waved her stone flower stamen, a magic staff topped with a dull gray stone. She waved it at the fruiting blue reed, and in the next moment, the blue reed withered and died before their eyes, collapsing to the ground.

Siser Siser waved her big-headed flower stamen, a magic staff with a huge tip. She didn't know what she was waving at, and for a long time, there was no reaction. As Siser Siser grew frustrated, Shawa Shawa explained, "Siser Siser's Nature Spirit Summoning always fails." However, at that very moment, a light flashed at the tip of the big-headed flower stamen, and it quickly flew towards a distant bush.

The Flower Spirits and Du Ke looked towards the dark bushes in the distance. Soon, a phantom light emerged from the bushes. The light was faint blue and outlined a running Displacer Beast.

When the Displacer Beast phantom arrived, the Flower Spirits' faces turned pale with fright. The timid ones quickly hid in their reed flowers.

Only Siser Siser's eyes widened. She looked at the hovering Displacer Beast phantom before her and clapped her hands, laughing, "Jiji gugubu lugugu jigu..." Then she waved her big-headed flower stamen, and the Displacer Beast phantom carried her, running rapidly above the sea of flowers, disappearing in a flash. All the Flower Spirits they encountered along the way were scared and hid.

Shawa Shawa also clutched her chest, looking frightened.

Du Ke quickly used Touch of Mind to communicate with Shawa Shawa: "What is that?"

"It's a Beast Spirit, the residual spirituality left after a beast dies. Siser Siser has summoned different Beast Spirits several times, but none survived and they eventually died. This Displacer Beast is very fierce. Maybe Siser Siser can raise it and protect us Flower Spirits of the Sea of Flowers Tribe," Shawa Shawa said, becoming happy as she spoke, pleased that her tribe had gained a powerful force.

"Beast Spirits can be raised?" Du Ke was confused. In his view, wasn't this just the soul of a Displacer Beast?

Earth scientists had studied souls extensively, but there was no evidence that humans had souls. Most scientists believed that consciousness was merely a process of information exchange and transmission within neurons.

However, here, in this Fantasy World, there were actually Beast Spirits.

Perhaps, souls truly existed.

"Some weak Beast Spirits dissipate quickly. Only strong Beast Spirits can exist for a long time," Shawa Shawa explained.

Siser Siser, who had obtained the Displacer Beast's Beast Spirit, had already run off somewhere. Shawa Shawa called out several times but received no response. Finally, it was Azuazu's turn to demonstrate its magic. It had a black magic staff, called the Black Flower Stamen. When it cast Nature Summoning, a white light flew out from the Black Flower Stamen and landed on the window of the bird's nest dwelling. There, two blue seeds, the size of soybeans, appeared.

Azuazu grabbed the two blue seeds and handed them to Du Ke: "Jigululala."

"Azuazu says to give you the seeds."

"Thank you." Du Ke took the seeds and asked curiously, "What kind of seeds are they?"

Shawa Shawa asked Azuazu, who then shook her head. Shawa Shawa communicated with Du Ke again: "I don't know."

"You don't know?"

"Sometimes they can be eaten, and sometimes they just grow into a tree. The tree you are living in now was grown from seeds summoned by Azuazu," Shawa Shawa said. Clearly, compared to the fixed effects of Nature Healing, Nature Growth, and Nature Withering, Nature Spirit Summoning and Nature Summoning were unstable. Even the casters themselves didn't know what kind of Beast Spirit they would awaken or what kind of seeds they would summon.

Despite the unstable effects, Du Ke's eyes were filled with envy. After all, it was magic.

After this, Shawa Shawa could not provide any more information. These Flower Spirits lived in the Sea of Flowers and never went out. They slept during the day, came out at night to eat dew, and then danced and played, living a carefree life. The outside world was a blank to them. Perhaps they were curious, but their instincts told them that staying in the Sea of Flowers was the safest.

"Teach me the Flower Spirit language," Du Ke requested.

Shawa Shawa immediately agreed. Du Ke's bird's nest dwelling had air conditioning, making it much more comfortable than the sweltering 32°C outside. The Flower Spirits all wanted to get closer. Communicating through Touch of Mind, the Flower Spirit language was easy to learn, and their vocabulary and intonation were very simple. After more than an hour of study, Du Ke could understand what the Flower Spirits playing outside were shouting.

He even compiled a document to record the Flower Spirit language.

Shawa Shawa would provide the pronunciation, and he would translate and annotate it, finally using Chinese to represent the wordless Flower Spirit language. While writing the Flower Spirit language, he also created a summary file for the Flower Spirits.
