Spirits of Vegetation

"Brother Ye, do you mean these willow trees have evolved into Spirit of Vegetation, possessing Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart?" Yao Rao finally grasped some of the meaning in Qian Ye's words.

Qian Ye nodded.

"Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Fang immediately emphasized, "This Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart is a Spirit of Vegetation gem among plants. Consuming it can even allow Wargod to break through a bottleneck. However, relatively speaking, one Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart per person is sufficient. Consuming more will have little effect and would be a waste, and would even harm the body."

"Excessive energy buildup, which cannot be expelled or absorbed and thus cannot be utilized, can, over time, become like a ticking time bomb inside the body, harming oneself and leading to qi deviation."

"What is Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart?" Zhao Ruo asked curiously. This was the first time she had ever heard of or seen such a thing, so naturally she didn't know what it was.

Janet didn't really understand either, so she just listened without interjecting.

Jiang Fang said, "It means that after willow trees evolve to a certain level, an energy heart will condense at the center of their trunks."

"This energy heart is what's known as the ' Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart.' A Willow Wood Heart is no longer a motionless tree; instead, it develops self-preservation and aggression instincts, just like animals and humans. Like that man-eating flower we just saw, aside from being unable to move, it will actively attack us once we enter its attack range. This is the meaning of ' Spirit of Vegetation.' 😲♞ ✋♖"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruo roughly understood the origin of the Spirit of Vegetation and the Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart: "So that's how it is. But Sister Fangfang, why haven't they attacked us yet, even though we've already entered the willow trees' range? Is it because these nine willow trees haven't reached the level of Spirit of Vegetation?"

Jiang Fang shook her head. "That's not the case. It's just that we're currently within the barrier set up by Brother Ye, and they haven't detected us yet, right?"

"However, there is one very effective method: you can go out and act as bait to test whether the nine willow trees have evolved into Spirit of Vegetation."

"I..." Zhao Ruo hesitated to go out, but then felt there was nothing to be afraid of. "They're just a few willow trees, I'll try them. I don't believe a Intermediate Wargod like me would be afraid of a few small willow trees!"

Sigh~

Qian Ye shook his head. He really couldn't do anything with Zhao Ruo. Since that was the case, he might as well let her suffer a bit and see if she would be so impulsive when making decisions in the future.

"Brother Ye, shall I go out and give it a try?" Zhao Ruo said to him.

After all, he's the captain, so we have to listen to him.

I'm also afraid he'll blame me, then it won't taste good.

Qian Ye: "Then let's give it a try?"

Anyway, with me here, even the golden willow branches with the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart don't matter to me.

However, that willow tree with the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart is second only to the Beyond Wargod War in combat power. It is extremely powerful. In the Swallowed Star, even Little Vulture Li Yao could not defeat it. Moreover, he was wearing the Black God Set and did not dare to fight it alone.

Luo Feng, the chosen one of the planes, was also forced to burrow underground and escape after being struck by the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart Tree.

It was only after Li Yao summoned three Wargod as reinforcements, one of whom was a young man named Catelan Polinas, the strongest Warrior of the Polinas Family. The other two, Ivan and another fat man, were also Advanced Wargod. With Li Yao as one of the four Wargod, they were able to defeat the nine willow trees.

Even if Ivan, Li Yao, and that fat guy combined were all stronger than Catelan.

At the same time, like Luo Feng, he was also Spirit Reader, but unlike Luo Feng, his Spirit Energy cultivation was not good, so he could not defeat Luo Feng.

Finally, after consuming a Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart, Luo Feng broke through to the Advanced Wargod, directly crushing the four members of the Catelan and forcing them to flee desperately.

Later, Li Yao invited Fal, a Planetary Level elder from Bolenas, to save the group.

Of course, Luo Feng also called in Iceberg and Zhu Xi from the Dojo of Limits, which prevented him from suffering a major loss. It was Fal's side that suffered the loss.

After all, the few of them were no match for Iceberg, one of Hong's three personal guards.

However, Fal did not attack Iceberg that time, so no one knew the difference in their combat strength.

Zhao Ruo immediately stepped out of the protective barrier and came to a willow tree, carefully examining it.

To her, this willow tree was nothing special.

Whoosh whoosh~

But at that moment, the willow tree, which was no different from any other willow tree and Willow Branch were vertical and motionless, suddenly started moving. Not only did the branches move, but they also stretched and lengthened, shooting towards her body like iron wires.

"This..." Now, Zhao Ruo understood that Qian Ye had not made something up out of nothing, but that these willow trees were indeed no longer just ordinary willow trees.

Rather, it is the Spirit of Vegetation, already possessing consciousness, capable of using its branches as weapons to attack.

Zhao Ruo didn't have time to think much, nor did she immediately hide inside the barrier in fear. After all, she still had some pride. She immediately drew her long sword and began fighting with Willow Branch.

However, she underestimated the willow trees.

At first, it was only a willow tree that attacked her.

Then, the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth willow trees began to attack her with their branches.

Given that Zhao Ruo's strength was truly lacking, he was quickly overwhelmed by the attacks from the branches and was forced to retreat into the barrier.

Fortunately, she wasn't injured, and her ability to back down shows she has self-awareness.

After all, the largest Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart tree has not yet been sold.

If it makes a move, Zhao Ruo's chances of survival are slim.

Its golden willow branches are impervious to blades and spears, penetrating even the soil and rocks beneath the ground. They are incredibly fast and numerous. In the original book, even Luo Feng was forced to flee for his life. How could Zhao Ruo possibly be a match for it?

"Brother Ye, it seems you were right. These willow trees have indeed evolved into Spirit of Vegetation, and their attack speed and strength are quite formidable." Yao Rao, witnessing the live broadcast of the eight willow trees attacking Zhao Ruo, marveled at their power.

Jiang Fang pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Ruo and asked, "Ruoruo, how did it feel to fight the willow tree just now?"

"This is terrible!" Zhao Ruo looked disheveled. "I used to think that only animal monsters were the most terrifying, but now, facing this plant monster, I've truly seen what it means to be outmatched. It turns out that plant monsters are just as powerful as animal monsters, and within their territory, it's very difficult for ordinary people to escape their encirclement."

Jiang Fang nodded. "That's absolutely true. As you've seen, this beautiful Mist Island has no animals, monsters, or insects besides plants. This is enough to show that there are many powerful Spirit of Vegetation on this island. They have almost wiped out the original animals and monsters, and the animals and monsters from outside dare not approach for fear of perishing here. That's why we haven't seen a single animal, monster, or insect on this island."
