Ant Lord in the Star Realm

Chapter 932 - 665: Wind Tree Core (3)

"Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King?"

"Who else could it be?"

"The Ant King that has plagued the continent for a hundred years looks like this?"

"Can’t see anything impressive about it?"

"Of course, you can’t see how powerful it is when it’s dead, try when it’s alive. Just a little more, and I wouldn’t have been able to do anything to it."

"Second King mighty!"

"Second King invincible!"

...

The crowd of insects and trees buzzed with noise.

"Quiet! Quiet! Everyone, step back."

Ink Orchid waved its tentacles to call out, lifting its catching feet high, metal system primordial energy gathering at the claw tip.

All the insects withdrew one after another, holding their breath.

The Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King roamed the Zhibai Continent, its Life Seed likely hidden within the Life Pouch, certainly containing Divine-Given Seeds, and not just one, though it’s uncertain whether they’ve reached the top-level tier.

Ink Orchid swung out a claw, with a crack, splitting the corpse carapace at the back.

Adjusting position, swish swish two claws cutting down, splitting open the sides of the corpse chest carapace.

The force was just right, breaking only the carapace, not injuring the flesh.

Flipping the corpse over, another claw strike, cleaving the entire corpse carapace into two segments.

Giant Cypress commanded two worker ants to come forward and tear through, soon uncovering the Life Pouch from the innards.

Ink Orchid stepped forward, gently touched with a tentacle, a ribbon of wind blade drifted out.

With a puff,

the Life Pouch ruptured, the surrounding space gently rippling, a heap of tree hearts and seeds spilled out.

The Insect Clan Warrior had died, but the Life Seeds associated with it were not completely dead.

Fear, anger, scolding, and cursing spiritual power permeated the forest.

——Does a dying tree still dare to be arrogant?

The silently observing Bicolor Mulberry for quite a while was displeased, furiously confronting.

Round Cypress urgently activated the soul system talent’s soul system ability gained during awakening, suppressing the tree hearts’ souls, putting them into a dormant state.

Ink Orchid’s spiritual power swept back and forth in a circle, picking up a grass seed to examine it, tossing it aside, and selecting four large tree hearts.

The Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King is typically endowed with 5 Divine-Given Seeds.

One herbaceous Divine-Given Seed, no need to look.

The remaining four are tree hearts condensed from arbors.

Two water systems.

One wind system.

And one relatively rare thunder system.

"..."

A brief silence.

Ink Orchid waved the tentacle, first excluding the two water system tree hearts.

In the Natural Star Realm, earth, wood, water, and fire elemental Divine-Given Seeds are the most numerous, and their unit prices are relatively low.

Wind systems are slightly fewer, the price a bit higher, and if it enhances a particular type of wind system ability, it has the potential to reach the top-level plant seed ranks.

Thunder systems are relatively rare, the unit price is quite high, and if the quality and yield are satisfactory, it can reach the top-level ranks.

Ink Orchid’s gaze swept back and forth.

It appears the wind system tree heart is larger, judging by the wood grain and scent, likely some type of pine or cedar large arbor.

The thunder system tree heart is a size smaller, hard to distinguish which type of arbor it is.

Ink Orchid couldn’t decide, directly called out: "Azure! Black Peach, Blue Catalpa, Woodberry, which to choose?"

Azure: "..."

The three insects exchanged glances,

Black Peach lightly tapped with a tentacle, a Mark of Flourish was cast, landing on the wind system tree heart, reminding:

"Second King, there is a risk, which is, in the current state, sowing and rebirth of the tree heart might fail. I suggest choosing the larger one with abundant life force."

Ink Orchid: "..."

Ink Orchid asked: "What about the Origin Force’s nature? Can the specific enhancement effect be determined?"

Black Peach: "It can only be determined to be a wind system ability enhancement, more specifics are hard to say. However, it can be ensured that this is a high-quality large arbor optimized and selectively cultivated over two to three thousand years, with an annual yield definitely over 500,000."

Ink Orchid looked at Blue Catalpa.

Blue Catalpa: "Wind."

Woodberry: "...Thunder? Take a gamble?"

Azure: "I suggest selecting the largest wind system tree heart."

"Alright—"

Ink Orchid decisively said: "Three to one, so choose wind."

"Okay—"

Blue Catalpa said no more, directly activating the wood element ability, extracting the life force from other tree hearts, transferring it to the wind system tree heart.

Selected the right location, dug a pit, and buried it with the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King’s body together.

Blue Catalpa, Black Peach, and Woodberry together activated the wood element ability, forcibly urging the tree heart to take root, sprout, and grow.
