Chapter 382: Kill Anyone Who Blocks My Way!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With the addition of the Divine Wood clan, the tribe successfully upgraded to Cla.s.s A. The system opened the Level-4 Crystal Mall.
There were many new things on sale in the mall. They were all good things, but they were also quite expensive.
For example, one drop of essence water costs one high-grade crystal.
Fortunately, Chang Gu had given Huanhuan a lot of black crystals. Otherwise, she might not be able to afford essence water now.
She muttered, “We’re family. Can’t you set the price lower?”
!!
The system said, “My silly girl, essence water is something that can’t be bought with money. Just a small drop of it on the black market is already sold for a sky-high price. The price of one high-grade crystal is already very cheap!”
Huanhuan blinked. “In that case, I can buy essence water in the mall and sell it on the black market to earn the difference?”
The system clicked his tongue. “I was just calling you stupid. Why are you suddenly smart now? You even thought of such a strategy to earn money.”
“Hehe, I got the idea after hearing you talk.”
The system thought for a moment. “I won’t stop you from buying and reselling the goods, but it’s best not to sell things like essence water. If you’re targeted, you’ll definitely be in trouble again.”
Huanhuan agreed. “I understand.”
She exchanged three fingernail-sized black crystals for three drops of essence water and dripped them onto the sword tree seed.
After they landed on the seed, it quickly took root and grew into a small sapling more than a meter tall in the blink of an eye.
Huanhuan was stunned. “It grew so fast!”
The system said, “Of course! One drop of essence water is equivalent to a hundred years. Three drops of essence water are equivalent to instantly giving the sword tree 300 years. How can it not grow quickly?!”
Huanhuan reached out and touched the leaves of the sapling. “It only grew this big after 300 years.”
“Yeah, sword trees grow slowly.”
Huanhuan gritted her teeth and took out 30 black crystals to buy the remaining 30 drops of essence water in the mall.
She poured all 30 drops of essence water on the sword tree.
The sapling immediately rose from the ground and quickly grew taller. In the blink of an eye, it grew more than 20 meters tall!
Huanhuan looked up at the tall sword tree in front of her and praised from the bottom of her heart, “Essence water is too powerful!”
The sword tree shook its leaves and made a familiar low voice. “Did you wake me?”
This voice was very similar to the last time Huanhuan heard the sound of the sword tree in Divine Wood City, but the voice of the sword tree in front of her was clearly younger.
Huanhuan immediately replied, “Yeah!”
The sword tree reached out and gently touched the top of her head. “I smell something familiar on you. Did we know each other before?”
“Have you forgotten about Divine Wood City?”
The sword tree thought for a moment. “I think I remember something, but I can’t remember it clearly.”
She did not expect the sword tree to have forgotten everything. Huanhuan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was good.
It was never a good thing to be deceived. The sword tree would be happier if it forgot about it.
Huanhuan smiled. “My name is Huanhuan. We’ve met before. You even gave me a flower.”
Little Lotus and Little Green also came out. “You even gave us fruits to eat.”
The sword tree sighed. “Sorry, I’ve forgotten all about it.”
Huanhuan gently stroked its tree trunk. “It doesn’t matter if you forget. We’ll still be friends. From now on, you can take root on the rock mountain.”
“This place is the rock mountain?”
“Yes, it’s my home. It’ll be your home from now on.”
The sword tree extended its leaves. The tall and lush leaves rustled in the wind.
“I like this place…”
The 20-meter-tall sword tree was especially conspicuous at the foot of the rock mountain. It had just grown not long ago, but it already attracted the attention of many beasts.
Especially the beasts of the Divine Wood clan. When they saw the sword tree, they knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly.
They didn’t know why the dead divine tree could regenerate. They attributed it to the G.o.ds.
If the G.o.ds allowed the divine tree to be reborn on the rock mountain, did that mean that this was definitely the place where the Divine Wood clan was destined to return to?!
For a moment, the beasts of the Divine Wood clan were even more determined to stay on the rock mountain. They had to work hard. After acc.u.mulating enough work points, they would live on the rock mountain and never leave again!
The sword tree remained motionless in the face of their kneeling.
Only Huanhuan could hear it speak.
Xue Hui and Ah Gui rushed over when they heard the news. They looked shocked when they saw the tall sword tree in front of them.
They saw Huanhuan walking out from under the tree and quickly went up to ask what was going on.
Huanhuan said slowly, “When I left the Divine Wood City, the sword tree gave me a seed. This tree was planted with that seed.”
Xue Hui was still puzzled. “But the sword tree grows extremely slowly. How did it grow so tall in a day?!”
When she pa.s.sed by this morning, she clearly didn’t see anything. Now, such a tall sword tree had suddenly appeared. This was unbelievable!
Huanhuan smiled mysteriously. “This is a secret between me and the sword tree. I can’t tell anyone.”
Xue Hui was stunned. “You can communicate with the sword tree?”
“That’s right.”
Xue Hui’s gaze on Huanhuan became even more complicated. In the Divine Wood clan, only Beast King Qian Ye and High Priest Bi Huan could communicate with the sword tree.
Now, Huanhuan could actually communicate with the sword tree. It had to be said that her affinity with plants was shockingly high.
The sword tree took root in the rock mountain and became the tallest and largest tree here. The legend of it being a divine tree was also spread by the beasts of the Divine Wood clan. The beasts’ admiration for it deepened.
Huanhuan returned home and saw Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling discussing something.
She walked over silently and sat down beside him.
Bai Di was talking about Sun City.
“Bai Luo wants to recommend the Rock Wolf Tribe to partic.i.p.ate in the trial in the name of Sun City, but Wen Qian doesn’t agree. Wen Qian feels that Bai Luo is uncontrollable and has already become wary of him.”
Huanhuan quickly asked, “Will Bai Luo be in danger?”
“With Wen Qian’s strength, he won’t allow anything to go out of control in his territory. I guess he’ll find a way to suppress Bai Luo. If he can’t, he might kill him.”
Just like how he had plotted to murder the queen and Xuan Wei.
He killed anyone who got in the way!
Huanhuan was very worried. “Then Bai Luo…”
Bai Di stroked her head. “Don’t worry. Xuan Wei is staying in Sun City to protect Bai Luo in secret. Bai Luo will be fine.”
Xuan Wei was powerful. With him around, Bai Luo would indeed be much safer.
Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Bai Di looked at Shuang Yun. “Our top priority now is to rush to the City of 10,000 Beasts to partic.i.p.ate in the trial. Bai Luo has already sent the recommendation for the Rock Wolf Tribe to the City of 10,000 Beasts. As long as we reach the City of 10,000 Beasts successfully, Wen Qian won’t be able to do anything to us.”
