Chapter 824 - 631: Mantis King Ink Orchid
Silver Cypress 128th year.
Spring.
The Snow Velvet Spider King arrived as scheduled.
The Whirl Beast transformed into a bizarre shape between a sea serpent and a centipede, entering the ice state, floating on the sea surface, with Dragon Cypress, Ink Orchid, and Mountain Persimmon standing together on the Whirl Beast's head.
The twelve tentacles of Hydra's power turned into two rows of abdominal fins, swinging back and forth, paddling to move against the wind.
The Snow Velvet Spider King stopped, watching intently.
The ice vortex beast was too stiff, essentially just a big chunk of ice, with no hint of life or spirit.
Dragon Cypress bore no change in the Origin Force's aura.
Not yet accomplished.
Judging by the appearance, still far from complete.
The Snow Velvet Spider King secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Snow Velvet and Dragon Cypress are both insects with poor talent.
The Snow Velvet Spider King had struggled immensely in the first or second age periods to condense a single divine pattern.
In contrast to Dragon Cypress,
The growth speed far exceeded expectations.
Evolving into Insect King in just over fifty years, it quickly condensed five divine patterns, already forming a powerful combat strength.
With another fifty years, what could be achieved?
The Snow Velvet Spider King was filled with expectation again.
If it could condense the Whirl Beast Devouring divine pattern, it might be time to formally plan the demise of Blue Island.
...
"Snow Velvet Spider King!"
Dragon Cypress was in high spirits, shaking its tentacles in greeting, enthusiastically introducing: "This is the Mountain Persimmon Beetle King, a Red-Margined Tenebrionid Beetle Warrior from the northern Land of Origin Force on the Cloud Trace Continent's Silver Cypress Mountain. My Silver Cypress Tree was found there."
"Greetings, Snow Velvet Spider King—"
Mountain Persimmon, having lived in the enclosed Land of Origin Force for years, was somewhat reserved and dull.
"Mountain Persimmon Beetle King, hello. Dragon Cypress Ant King has mentioned you to me more than once."
The Snow Velvet Spider King immediately flashed onto the Whirl Beast's head, asking: "Was the Silver Cypress Tree cultivated by Mountain Persimmon Beetle King?"
Mountain Persimmon hurriedly denied: "Not me. It should count as cultivated by my elder. Its name was 'Silver Cypress', and it passed away a long time ago."
"Oh—"
The Snow Velvet Spider King asked no further, turning to Ink Orchid, inquiring: "Ink Orchid Lord, breakthrough next year?"
Ink Orchid: "Almost. This spring, all Life Seed Plants finally entered the state of rest for flowers and fruits. Next year, depending on the situation, I'm not in a hurry for one or two years."
"Indeed—"
The Snow Velvet Spider King asked: "And the Source Stones needed for evolution?"
Ink Orchid: "White Ivy Spider King helped with the transport, prepared five years early."
"Everything is ready!"
The Snow Velvet Spider King, having greeted everyone sufficiently, got down to business, asking: "What about the Wangbai Seed? Harvested smoothly?"
Ink Orchid: "Of course! Stored in the ice cellar."
"Good—"
The Snow Velvet Spider King couldn't hide its impatience, urging: "Let's take a look!"
Dragon Cypress controlled the Whirl Beast to make a big turn, clumsily completing the maneuvers, activating Water Control to speed up the advance.
"..."
The Snow Velvet Spider King couldn't help but say: "Dragon Cypress Ant King, your Whirl Beast lacks the spirit of life. How about visiting Blue Island to seek guidance from Kirin Beast Ant King?"
Dragon Cypress shook its tentacles, full of confidence: "No need for now. I've memorized all the information, just need some time to integrate and transform. Small issues I can ponder over thoroughly; if I encounter major questions during practice, I'll address them then."
"That's fine—"
The Snow Velvet Spider King casually asked: "How's the number of Combat Soldier Ants?"
Dragon Cypress: "First Combat Legion led by Cypress, has 30,000 Specialized Blue Soldiers; Second Legion led by Silver Cypress, has 20,000 Specialized Blue Soldiers; Third Legion led by Spiked Cypress and Rainbow Parasol Tree, has 20,000 Specialized Blue Soldiers, 10,000 Specialized Thunder Soldiers. Plus, after understanding the Nosh Remnants, I cultivated 10,000 Specialized Blue Soldiers, and they are already part of the Third Combat Legion."
90,000 elite troops.
If it's island defense, if facing Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army's attack, 400,000 to 500,000 troops should be able to withstand.
The Snow Velvet Spider King was always concerned about Rainbow Island's safety, now with 90,000 elite troops, it can barely be at ease.
Protect the King Cypress well~
Having 300,000 soldiers guarding the island would be infallible.
The Snow Velvet Spider King calculated secretly, but felt helpless, it might still take seventy to eighty years.
"Dragon Cypress Ant King, accelerate the evolution speed a bit, reach the 7th age period early?"
"No rush. No rush. I want to first condense the Whirl Beast Devouring divine pattern before considering evolving the 3rd age period, 7th age period is still far away..."
...
This year is the expedition year.
According to statistics and calculations, it starts three months later, but occasionally it might come one or two months early or late.
Dragon Cypress wouldn't risk returning to the Cloud Trace Continent.
Ink Orchid took the Wangbai Seed, traveled with the Snow Velvet Spider King to Rednan Mountain for trade.
The Snow Velvet Spider King was somewhat guilty, efficiently completed the trade and left.
Dragon Cypress and Mountain Persimmon hid in the cave deep within Xianglan Peak, quietly waiting.
In the Northern Hemisphere midsummer, in the Southern Hemisphere deep winter, Dragon Cypress sensed the Law Power sweep across its body.
Dragon Cypress even sensed the Law Power pause briefly on Mountain Persimmon.
Mountain Persimmon was timid, shivering all over.
Seemingly recording information, the Law Power stayed just a moment and left, without any incident.
Dragon Cypress and Mountain Persimmon dared not be careless, continued lurking.
Like the last expedition year, after waiting for three months, the Law Power didn't sweep back.
Confirmed safe.
Successfully bypassed another expedition year.
Successfully smuggled,
Mountain Persimmon was also a Wanglan Insect.
...
Silver Cypress 129th year.
Very busy.
Yellow Stem, Spruce, Wuye, White Rice, Black Rice, Mulberry, Areca, Ghost Fan, all of them timed with the expedition year, concentrated in the same year, broke through successively to Insect King.
Spring began busy.
Starting with the northern Yellow Stem and Spruce.
The time for sleeping evolution was between 40 and 45 days.
Arranged other insects to help care for the Life Seed, guard the cave entrance, using Source Stones to supplement Origin Force.
Dragon Cypress couldn't stay to guard; during their sleep, Dragon Cypress could fly across the Origin Force Vacuum Land, returning to Rainbow Island, holding Rainbow Island.
