Do You Like These Big Pearls?
The Old Ancestor said helplessly, "Is it possible that this child is actually our eldest?"
The trees shook their branches and said, "How is that possible? A six-year-old child can be your leader?"
The Old Ancestor laughed and said, "It's true."
Zhou Wanwan closed her eyes, and soon the trees quieted down.
Zhou Wanwan channeled her spiritual energy, and after a while, the trees uprooted themselves and began to run rapidly.
Wow! I can really run now, but why does it feel so unsteady?
"Ouch! I almost fell! So many legs, it all looks so uncoordinated!"
Those roots are like the legs of these trees.
The trees started running across the island, moving at an incredible speed.
As the Jiang Family members approached the Black Shark Gang, they saw several trees running wildly in the distance.
Jiang Ce rubbed his eyes and asked, "What did you just see?"
"I think I saw a lot of trees running wildly."
"I think I also saw those trees running away! Ah! Those trees are coming towards us."
There was a willow tree moving so fast that it couldn't be stopped at all.
It let out a howl and crashed straight into Jiang Ce and the others.
The dozen or so members of the Jiang Family were knocked unconscious.
Willow scratched its head and said, "Oh dear! I'm so sorry! But, since you can't understand me anyway, let's just forget about it."
The trees quickly returned to the woods and began helping to move things.
Fortunately, the Black Shark Gang had two boats, and these trees were very fast, quickly loading all of the Black Shark Gang's belongings onto the boats.
"Do you know the Black Shark Gang has a huge gold mine? It's on this island. I'll take you there!"
Soon, the trees led them to the large gold mine.
Thousands of miners were being held captive inside. The Black Shark Gang members were whipping them relentlessly, yelling, "Dig faster, or we'll kill you all!"
Zhou Wanwan looked at the miners and said, "These unlucky guys, I wonder which country they're from, they're so pitiful!"
Suddenly, the Old Scholar Tree sensed something was wrong. He felt a chill down his spine and saw dozens of trees rushing towards them.
Upon closer inspection, the Old Scholar Tree was surrounded by a dark aura, which looked quite frightening.
The roots of those trees rushed towards them, carrying with them a bloody stench.
The Old Scholar Tree said, "These trees are strange; they must have absorbed the resentment here and mutated."
All things in heaven and earth are capable of absorbing spiritual energy.
However, those that have become sentient are extremely rare.
The Old Scholar Tree can hardly be considered to have become a spirit, but it can be barely described as having a kind of spiritual energy.
Zhou Wanwan infused them with spiritual energy, and they could only move around by relying on Zhou Wanwan.
It's different from the trees that mutated on this island.
The Old Scholar Tree Old Ancestor quickly got into a fight with the tree opposite.
Opposite us are ancient banyan and tamarind trees, all of which are very thick and robust.
It is even much thicker than the Old Scholar Tree and our Old Ancestor.
Soon, those trees began attacking the Old Ancestor and the Old Scholar Tree.
The Old Ancestor and the Old Scholar Tree suffered repeated defeats.
The leader, Gaoshanrong, cackled, "Where did this little brat come from, daring to come to our territory? Are you looking for death?"
The Old Ancestor scoffed coldly:
"You old bastard, how dare you talk to us like that? You really don't know your place."
"Your grandpa's going to teach you a lesson today."
Gao Shanrong laughed loudly, "You? You're really overestimating yourself. Take this!"
The banyan tree was indeed strong; its roots instantly entangled the Old Ancestor.
Other banyan trees also took the opportunity to wrap their roots around the Old Scholar Tree.
They were unable to move.
Gao Shanrong laughed loudly, "Useless thing, still so arrogant?"
The Old Scholar Tree said coldly, "Does he really think he's invincible?"
"You're exhausted now. We can kill you anytime, anywhere. If you know what's good for you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Shanrong felt an immense force pierce into their bodies.
The Old Scholar Tree and the roots of our Old Ancestor exert their power simultaneously.
Zhou Wanwan kept channeling spiritual energy into the two of them.
The Old Ancestor and the Old Scholar Tree absorbed the energy from these trees.
This energy was different from the spiritual energy within Zhou Wanwan's body; it was red and even had a burning sensation.
If it weren't for their incredibly strong and indestructible root systems, they would have been burned to death long ago.
The trees then realized something was wrong.
Gao Shanrong said, "Run! Wait, these two trees are actually absorbing our energy!"
The trees wanted to run away, but it was too late.
The Old Ancestor and the Old Scholar Tree absorbed a lot of this energy, greatly increasing their strength.
The Old Scholar Tree said, "I think this energy is excellent. After we absorb it, we can store more energy."
The Old Ancestor nodded and said:
"From now on, you can replenish my energy every few months, or even once a year."
Come quickly, there's still plenty of energy left, let's all absorb it together.
Hundreds of trees came this time, and our Old Ancestor and the Old Scholar Tree distributed this energy to everyone.
It took two hours for everyone to finish absorbing the nutrients.
Those banyan trees on the mountain have all turned into dead trees.
The trees looked like they'd been injected with adrenaline.
The Old Scholar Tree said, "I feel like I'm more than three times stronger than before."
"I feel the same way. I feel like we've become even stronger this time. I wonder how much faster we'll be?"
They loaded everything onto the boat and then started rowing away.
The miners and the gold ore were all loaded onto the ship.
The branches of hundreds of trees were constantly propelling the boat, which was moving very fast.
Zhou Wanwan sat on the boat, staring blankly out the window, and said, "This is about the same speed as those yachts in my previous life, it's so fast!"
The key point is that some of these hundreds of trees are still producing salt.
There's a lot of salt piled up on this ship.
Others were constantly catching fish, and the deck was piled high with all kinds of seafood.
The Old Scholar Tree asked, "Wanwan, what kind of seafood would you like to eat?"
Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat shrimp, and also grilled saury, grilled oysters, grilled scallops..."
Before long, the Old Scholar Tree and the Old Ancestor scooped up a large basin of water.
Several chef trees stood on the deck, ready to cook.
These trees are not afraid of fire, and they are easy to cook with.
There's also a tree that sings specifically for Zhou Wanwan.
The trees sing beautifully, like a lullaby.
Zhou Wanwan fell asleep shortly afterward.
The Old Scholar Tree and the Old Ancestor continued the search.
The Old Ancestor had fished out a lot of sea pearl mussels. Looking at them, the Old Scholar Tree asked, "Why did you fish these out?"
The Old Ancestor said:
"You don't understand, do you? These are all pearl oysters; they contain pearls."
Let's open it and see if there are any pearls inside, something suitable for our Wanwan."
The Old Scholar Tree looked at the sea mussels and said, "Could there be pearls in these?"
The Old Ancestor said:
Nanyang white pearls, Nanyang golden pearls, peacock black pearls, conch pearls, Mabe pearls.
There are many varieties of pearls, and some rare types may only yield one pearl from hundreds of mother-of-pearl oysters. Let's give it a try."
Who can blame them when the Old Ancestor dotes on Zhou Wanwan?
When Zhou Wanwan woke up, she saw a bottle full of large pearls.
The Old Ancestor asked, "Wanwan, do you like these big pearls?"
Zhou Wanwan looked at the clean, large pearls in the bottle and nodded, saying, "I love it, I love it so much."
The Old Ancestor chuckled and said, "I knew you'd like it! Alright, let's eat."
A table full of barbecue, along with all sorts of fruits and delicacies.
Shen Tao ate happily to himself. "I love business trips now! This isn't a business trip, it's practically a tour for eating, drinking, and having fun!"
