Chapter 78 Strengthening the Life Seed

The three brothers had many questions: "Lord Purple Plum, is he going to strengthen all the life seeds?"

Lord Zili said generously, "Yes, any seed planted in Ziling that is less than ten years old can be strengthened by Lord Liuxu Mountain using wood-type abilities."

"Oh." The three brothers were somewhat uneasy.

It should be noted that not long ago, King Qingzhujia said that the matter of the yew tree being able to nurture the divinely bestowed seed should not be revealed to outsiders. As a result, Lord Zili turned around and found a Zerg warrior from another race. Doesn't this go against King Qingzhujia's wishes?

Zishan tentatively inquired, "Lord Zili, our tribe has many seedlings that are less than ten years old, at least one or two hundred. Can we finish this task in a short time?"

"The Lord of Willow Catkin Mountain can only use his wood-type abilities three times a day. If he can't finish in a short time, that's okay. We hire the Lord of Willow Catkin Mountain based on the actual number of times he uses his abilities."

Zi Ai asked worriedly, "Then it will have to stay here for at least a few months, right? What will happen to its life force?"

"The Lord of Willow Catkins Mountain is an insectoid warrior who lives independently on Elephant Banana Island. However, it has a junior at a higher level. Usually, its junior takes care of the life seed in the territory, while it takes on jobs everywhere to subsidize the expenses required for its age advancement."

"Oh." So it's a wild insect.

There are many of these wild insects on Xiangjiao Island. Most of them migrated from the Thousand Star Islands, while many others were born on the island. Their lives are very difficult, and it is difficult for them to advance to the level of Mountain Lord or above.

If one had one or two skills to make a living, like the Lord of Willow Catkins, one could work for various tribes and earn some Primal Force food.

Lord Purple Plum explained, "Lord Willow Catkins has been helping various tribes strengthen their life seeds for many years. Since our tribe does need the help of such a Zerg warrior, we have discussed with Lord Willow Catkins that in the next year or the year after, it and its offspring's life seeds will be moved to our Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe and become part of our tribe."

Upon hearing Lord Zili's words, the three brothers suddenly realized why Lord Zili had brought it back to the tribe and allowed it to enhance the life seeds of many insectoid warriors with wood-type abilities.

To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to binding the Willow Catkin Mountain Lord, who originally did odd jobs everywhere, to the warship of the Rhinoceros Golden Turtle tribe.

This ensures that the secrets will not be leaked to outsiders, and also allows the lifeblood of many Zerg warriors to receive appropriate ability enhancements.

At the same time, this is also a good thing for the Lord of Willow Catkin Mountain. There are tens of thousands of Zerg warriors on Banana Island, and he is not the only Zerg warrior with wood-type abilities.

Originally, it could only do odd jobs here and there. Now it has the opportunity to be incorporated into the island's major tribes, which is naturally something it is eager to do. It can be said that this is a good thing that benefits both sides.

After reassuring the three brothers, Lord Zili continued, "Let Lord Liuxu strengthen your life seeds first. It's springtime now, and strengthened life seeds will grow most effectively."

"good!"

Purple Locust swayed its antennae and said proactively, "I'll stay here and guard the newly planted Water Cloud Persimmon Life Seed. Purple Fir, Purple Artemisia, you two take Willow Catkin Mountain Lord and the others to help the Life Seed activate its abilities!"

Without further ado, the two insects led Lord Purple Plum and Lord Willow Catkins on a tour of their many life forms, while Lord Purple Plum responsibly explained each one to Lord Willow Catkins.

"All the insect seeds on our Purple Ridge are planted in one place, and each Rhinoceros Tortoise Warrior has a piece of land to plant the seeds."

Everyone's destiny is divided from largest to smallest, from the center to the periphery.

Most of the land on the mountain peaks is the seed-planting ground for mountain lords or dukes, while the foot of the mountain and the plains are the seed-planting grounds for junior, intermediate and advanced warriors.

"Later, I'll first apply wood-type enhancement abilities to the life seeds of the three yew brothers. Their life seeds were also planted on the plains; they're a bit special, so don't be surprised when you see them."

"Understood." Lord Liuxu didn't seem to care much about Lord Zili's words.

After advancing to the Mountain Lord level, it awakened the ability to enhance plants. It worked in many places on Banana Island and saw all kinds of insect warriors. Everyone's territory planning was different. It didn't think there was anything special about the Rhinoceros Beetle tribe here.

Zishan and Ziai led the Willow Catkin Mountain Lord to the divinely bestowed seed of the male mulberry tree. Zishan introduced it to the tree, saying, "Willow Catkin Mountain Lord, this is my mulberry seed."

As Liu Xushan entered the greenhouse and approached the male mulberry tree, he sensed waves of restless, resistant, threatening, and intimidating spiritual energy emanating from the seed.

"Yew, Artemisia, what are you doing bringing other insects here? Are you trying to kill me? Get them out of here right now!"

Zishan hurriedly reassured him, "Xiong Sang, this is the Lord of Willow Catkin Mountain. It has come to use its abilities to help you strengthen yourself."

"This is..." Willow Catkin Bamboo was very surprised. What it saw was actually a divinely bestowed seed.

It's no surprise that the seeds were divinely bestowed; there are many insects on Banana Island, so there must be at least one or two thousand divinely bestowed seeds.

However, it is extremely rare for a young warrior to possess a divinely bestowed seed. The specific reasons have been explained before.

Lord Zili said calmly, "Lord Liuxu, I told you before that no matter what happens here, don't be surprised, and don't reveal it to others."

"Oh, okay!" The Willow Catkin Mountain Lord realized that while the number of warriors with the God-given Seed on Banana Island was relatively small, it wasn't entirely nonexistent. After a slight surprise, it quickly regained its composure.

"Lord Purple Plum, shall I first use my power on this divinely bestowed seed?"

"Can!"

Seeing that Lord Zili had no objections, Lord Liuxu immediately used his abilities.

Lord Zili dismissed Zishan and Ziai, leaving only Lord Liuxu standing in the center.

Liuxu Mountain spread its round, black elytra with white spots, and the membranous wings under the elytra flapped as if it were about to take off, causing the elytra to tremble incessantly.

The yew and the artemisia were puzzled, not understanding what it was going to do.

But they soon discovered that the surrounding primal forces seemed to be drawn by an invisible vortex, converging towards the direction where the Willow Catkin Mountain Master was located.

The Force flowed precisely into the white spots on its elytra. Those round white spots, like thirsty sponges, greedily devoured every wisp of Force. The white spots, which originally looked somewhat pale, gradually became lustrous and translucent, like pearls inlaid on a black carapace.

Zishan and Ziai clearly saw that when the Force was fully replenished, wisps of emerald green lines overflowed from the edges of the white spots.

These patterns, like vines sprouting from the soil, meander and intertwine, gradually weaving a fine network on the elytra. The direction of the patterns is remarkably similar to the root system of a tree, intricate and varied in density.

Just then, the willow catkin mountain lord's membranous wings suddenly trembled, and the primal force network on its elytra instantly lit up with a dazzling green light. All the gathered primal force, like a torrent compressed to its limit, rushed rapidly along the patterns towards the antennae on its head.

Its tentacles, originally dark brown, were now stained a translucent emerald green by the Force, with a condensed ball of light shimmering at the tip. The ball of light grew brighter and brighter, filled with extremely rich wood-type primal energy.

There was no earth-shattering sound, only a slender yet extremely refined wave of wood-type primal energy, which shot out from the tip of the tentacle and struck the life seed of the male mulberry tree.

"Pop..." The faint sound of the bubble bursting seemed to resonate directly in the minds of all the insects, gentle yet extremely penetrating.

The wood-elemental energy fluctuation did not leave any trace on the tree trunk, but rather seeped in silently, like a drop of water merging into the ocean.

Beneath the bark of the tree trunk, emerald-green patterns similar to those on the elytra of the willow catkin mountain suddenly appeared. These patterns spread rapidly from the point of impact to the entire trunk and then extended into the root system buried deep in the soil.
