Chapter 143: Chapter 103 Enlightenment
The enlightened peach tree demon, although it had no organs such as eyes and nose, but after a little sensing, it moved its octopus-tentacle-like roots and began to approach the Tree of Life.
Because it is eight meters tall, but its mutated roots are very short, and now they are arched, it looks particularly interesting.
However, after advancing less than a hundred meters, the wood monster underwent a second change. His roots, which originally had more than a dozen roots surrounding the bottom, closed and shrank again, turning into two human-like legs.
This time, it took only one step and covered a distance of five or six meters. The nearby land also shook violently as it took the step.
The wood demon walked more and more smoothly, and soon came to the Tree of Life. Ignoring the werewolves around it, it inhaled and began to breathe in and out spiritual energy.
After a while, as if it felt that this way of absorbing was not enough, its roots, which had been retracted, unfolded again, became longer, and began to take root in the soil at a rapid speed.
The original umbrella crown no longer folded this time, but expanded even more, as if to absorb the sunlight well.
The twisted branches of the tree were not clearly visible because they were covered with bark, but from the smooth bark it could be seen that the tree fibers that were originally swollen together were now separated.
A werewolf couldn't help but approach the wood demon, reached out and touched it, and found that the peach tree, which had just changed a lot, seemed to have become much smaller, and all other changes were illusions.
"Hey, you were walking towards me just now, why are you not moving now?"
Seeing that this brave werewolf had no problem touching the thing, the elves couldn't help themselves.
She flew to the peach tree and started hopping around.
Soon, as a plant expert and a natural magical species, Jin Yi immediately made a discovery.
"No, this can no longer be called a tree. It can no longer obtain nutrients from the sun. Instead, it can absorb spiritual energy to cultivate like us."
"There is still a difference. We can eat, but it seems that it can't eat."
Jin Shisan expressed his views.
"No, it can eat, but it eats trees. Also, I can sense that if a hostile person approaches, it will change back to the way it was walking just now and attack the other person."
Wow! When the elf said this, the werewolf next to him was shocked.
Zhao San looked at Hogg and Baroque who were standing side by side at the front, with their heads bowed and praying to the Creator in the sky.
Considering that this tree monster, with its roots and more than ten meters in height, is fighting with High Priest Hogg and Chief Baroque, it is hard to say who will win or lose.
Guo Wenbin didn't care about the werewolf and the elf's scrutiny and discussion. He knew that this was the wood demon's usual state.
However, the elves were right about one thing. Although this wood demon, which was born for fighting, can still maintain the form of an ancient tree, it actually does not have any of the abilities of an ancient tree.
Their roots can only penetrate shallow soil and cannot lock in moisture other than that required for their own survival.
Although the crown looks very large, it is just for show. It is impossible for it to carry out photosynthesis on its own. Its survival in the future will depend on spiritual energy and the consumption of trees.
As for the basic nature of plants such as flowering and bearing fruit, it is even more impossible for them to appear.
However, because the materials on their bodies have been strengthened, they can be good materials for refining weapons if they are properly cut down on a daily basis or their corpses are directly used after they die in battle.
After awakening a tree monster on the combat side, Guo Wenbin did not stop, and did not even pay attention to the basic attributes of this wood monster.
A trace of consciousness remaining in the Tree of Life immediately began to enlighten the second peach tree.
This time, he did not choose to evolve towards the combat side.
Instead, he considered strengthening the water storage function of the peach tree's roots, following the same steps as the Tree of Life. A stream of vitality flowed through the newly grown roots and penetrated into another ancient peach tree.
This time, he was the only one who could see that the roots of the peach trees that had taken root dozens of meters around him were rapidly growing thicker.
At regular intervals, the roots of the peach trees would swell up into a coconut-sized sphere, which was hollow inside and was probably used to store water.
As for what can be seen outside, the branches have also shrunk a bit, and the leaves have become sparser, as if to reduce water evaporation.
All in all, apart from the fact that the root system below has expanded several times, there are no other significant changes.
This time the noise was very small, but the effect was not low. If the peach tree could only lock dozens of square meters of soil around it, it had basically no water storage function.
Now, the surrounding three hundred square meters of soil have been occupied by the dense roots of the peach trees.
Judging from the protruding spheres on the roots, it can store at least several tons of water at a time. I just don't know whether the water in it can be drunk directly.
Because the location of the peach tree was formed by the newly loaded first-level divine domain expansion card, there was not much water resources except for soil and air, and the effect could not be seen.
Guo Wenbin was not in a hurry about this. Instead, he noticed a shortcoming of the water-storing wood monster, which is that once it takes root, it cannot be moved easily. Otherwise, if such a huge root system moves, the noise will be quite loud.
In order to verify his guess, he looked directly at the attributes of the wood demon that had just been enlightened.
The direction of wood monster
evolution: water storage.
Strength: 20Physique
: 30Agility
: 1Spirit
:
1Skill: Water Purification
Description: The wood demon transformed from an ancient tree enlightened by the Tree of Life. Its main function is to store water. After taking root, it cannot be easily moved. Every time it moves, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy (magic power). It cannot communicate.
It can absorb spiritual energy and evolve slowly.
Sure enough, the attributes can be said to be very powerful. After enlightenment, the physique reaches the middle level of extraordinary. However, the advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are also the same.
1 point of spirit and agility is enough to cripple a giant like the wood monster.
However, if it really comes to a critical moment, push this wood monster out. With its super strong physique and strength, its defense and attack should be quite good.
I just don't know how much of the so-called large amount of spiritual energy is needed.
Thinking of this, he was no longer in a hurry to enlighten the next ancient tree. Instead, he stretched out his hand and controlled the wood monster to uproot it from the ground.
"Boom!"
Because the roots were so deep, the movement caused a billowing of dust, and many werewolves and elves who were watching quickly hid aside.
"This, this thing can move, my God, please don't appear where we live, otherwise if it stirs it up, we won't be able to live here anymore."
While Zhao San was avoiding the dust that was blowing here, he was discussing with a few werewolves next to him.
Please give me rewards and votes!
