Chapter 821 - 630: Blood Oranges
Rainbow Island.
The Silver Cypress scouted traces of the Dragon Cypress.
——The Great King is back!
——The Great King is carrying a Spider Silk Bag, seems to have brought something good back!
The news quickly spread across the entire island.
The Ink Orchid soared into the sky to greet it.
...
"Dragon Cypress? Where's the Snow Velvet Spider King?"
"It went for a Roving Merchant trade. I was worried about Rainbow Island, so I came back first."
"What you're holding is..."
"Seeds~!"
The Dragon Cypress explained: "I saw a very interesting plant on Smoke Blue Mountain, the Round Leaf Horn Tree, a cultivated variant optimized and bred by the Ant Clan. The ordinary plant's height has decreased from fifty or sixty meters to forty or fifty meters, but the trunk has grown to over ten meters in thickness. The cultivated Divine-Given Seed, at the King-Level, can grow over three hundred meters tall, with the trunk reaching eighty meters thick, making it more suitable for the Ant Clan to build nests symbiotically."
The Dragon Cypress: "There's such a tree in Smoke Blue Mountain, named 'Jue', and the main nest of the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom is located inside the Jue's trunk, where five leaders reside. During the chat, I also heard that many Ant Kingdoms do this. I found it interesting, so I brought back some seeds."
"Oh—"
The Ink Orchid tilted its head, searching inherited memories, then understood and praised: "A very intriguing plant."
The Dragon Cypress: "Tropical and subtropical plants can be promoted and planted on Rainbow Island, Fragrant Silk Island, Swinging Leaf Island, and the Areca Rainforest."
"Then let's reclaim some land on Rainbow Island first, try planting, and if it works, promote it on a large scale..."
The Ink Orchid and the Dragon Cypress flew side by side, asking: "Did you see the Kirin Beast Ant King?"
The Dragon Cypress: "Of course! I used three Divine-Grade Baihe Fruits to hire the protection of three Butterfly Kings, and had a brief exchange with it, getting a close encounter."
Upon hearing this, the Ink Orchid's eyes sparkled brightly, flapping its wings vigorously, and asked: "So who's stronger?"
The Dragon Cypress: "..."
Slowing down, the Dragon Cypress landed on the sea surface, dipping its tentacle into the water, making a colorful sea fish wrapped in seawater leap out and hover in front.
"Ink Orchid, look!"
As it spoke, the Water System Primordial Energy activated, and the water sphere instantly turned azure blue, causing the trapped sea fish to collapse in an instant.
The Dragon Cypress opened its mouth and inhaled, pulling a cloud of blue mist from the water sphere, which drifted into its mouth.
The azure water sphere returned to the clean, transparent color of ordinary seawater, but the fish inside had already disappeared, with only a few residues swirling with the currents.
"!!!"
The Ink Orchid roughly understood, its tentacles straightening.
The Dragon Cypress: "The 'Devouring' of Sea Beast Devouring and the 'Refinement' of Creator Civilization are essentially the same ability, just developed in two different directions."
The Dragon Cypress: "Currently, I may not be able to defeat the Kirin Beast Ant King, but I've thoroughly figured it out inside and out, and I know how to combine 'Vortex Beast Devouring' now."
"Great King is mighty!"
"That's wonderful!"
The Ink Orchid's expression was exuberant, but suddenly realized something and asked:
"Dragon Cypress, what's going on? Close encounter? Did you take the risk to attack Blue Island, or did you test it nearby? Just how strong are the Saint Butterfly Warriors?"
The Dragon Cypress: "Generally, the Saint Butterfly Warriors are indeed much stronger than the average Insect Clan Warrior, but it's somewhat challenging to deal with the Stone Hunt Blue Ants that have mastered the 'Sea Beast Devouring' ability."
"Together with White Crystal, Jacaranda, and Rainbow Parasol Tree, the three Butterfly Kings observed from two to three hundred kilometers high above the north of Blue Island, using the Scorching Ability. The Kirin Beast Ant King was extremely self-disciplined and diligent..."
The Dragon Cypress and the Ink Orchid leisurely flew at a low altitude above the sea surface.
The Dragon Cypress detailed what it observed on Blue Island, briefly summarizing this visit to Smoke Blue Mountain.
Returning to Rainbow Island.
With excitement, the Ink Orchid recounted everything again to the Spiked Cypress, Cypress, Silver Cypress, Black Birch, Tie Bush, and all the God-Given Life Seeds.
A fruitful journey.
The Round Leaf Horn Tree seeds were handed over to Azure for processing, to first cultivate a batch of high-quality saplings, and choose several places on the island to clear forest land for trial planting.
...
The Dragon Cypress could hardly wait, taking a short rest before starting ability practice.
Vortex Beast Devouring in the morning.
Nosh Remnants in the afternoon.
Continue practicing Vortex Beast Devouring at night.
...
Half a year later, successfully integrated the 'Refinement Ability' into 'Vortex Beast'.
The most challenging hurdle was finally overcome, and Vortex Beast Devouring took its initial shape.
Previously, while observing the Kirin Beast Ant King on Blue Island, the Dragon Cypress also unexpectedly integrated 'Twilight' into it, mastering the mist form change of the Vortex Beast.
Then, pressing the advantage, began attempting to integrate the 'Freezing' ability into the Vortex Beast.
Completing this step would mean mastering all four states of water transformation, reaching a level close to that of the 'Kirin Beast'.
...
After another month,
late afternoon.
In the vast sea area.
In a deep dive with lowered head, flapping wings, tens of thousands of flying ants, each just a bit over a centimeter long, swooped down towards the sea surface.
In mid-swoop, the flying ants changed color abruptly, from dark green to pale blue, with an eerie aura instantly pervading the sea area.
——It's done!
——After tens of thousands of modifications, finally, the Refinement Ability successfully integrated into the 'Flying Ant'.
——Nosh Remnants!
With a thought, the plunged cloud-form giant ant raised its head, ascended into the sky, changed directions, and charged towards the shore.
Locked on to a garden patch of Rift Leaf Orchid Kings.
Plunged again.
Gently flapped its wings.
Tens of thousands of pale blue flying ants charged toward the garden, with the blue mist dispersing.
The planted Rift Leaf Orchid Kings in the garden all disappeared, leaving only bare earth.
"If this ability could be ideally passed down to the Specialized Blue Soldiers..."
"It would be simply world-ending!"
The Dragon Cypress was in high spirits.
Turning around, it charged toward the sea area to continue familiarizing itself.
Returned to the King Nest at Xianglan Peak late at night.
Unable to sleep through the night.
The Dragon Cypress lay on the Dominating Throne, activating the Super Brain Ability. In its mind, repeatedly reflecting, deducing.
