"Although the settlement comment seems a bit ridiculous, it's just right for the young Fox Fox, giving a slight sense of satisfaction."
Ansheng marveled inwardly. After glancing over the comment above, he turned to the [Wish Power] column.
By exploding the Wish Power of Master Treasure Tree, the wish list isn't flashy at all, directly gaining +30 points, and the gold coins exploded by Master Treasure Tree are even more than those from the King of the Universe.
In the single Spirit Beast event, the Treasure Tree shattered the wish list record with one move, becoming the top boss.
The Treasure Tree is rooted in the earth, not just absorbing the naturally scattered spiritual particles from Blue Star so simply.
It's quite greedy and drills through its roots into the ruins of ancient Spiritual Particle civilizations to secretly feast, consuming everything that should have appeared as the spiritual particles revived, stuffing them all into its own stomach in advance.
The wild Treasure Tree, just by living, generates Spirit Beasts in batches due to its influence, affecting the people relying on agriculture and forestry for livelihood and loves to secretly feast, thereby directly impacting the Xia Country's research goals on tracing the origins of spiritual particles.
The people and events involved here are very widespread, affecting thousands of families, all experiencing losses because of it.
The King of the Universe is indeed formidable.
But his ambitions do not lie with Blue Star. He kills millions, constructs biological warships, and leaves Blue Star, showing no attachment whatsoever, even accelerating his escape.
Thus, although the King of the Universe, in terms of power, could suppress Master Treasure Tree, the impact caused by them is not of the same magnitude — one kills millions, while the other seems like a hidden assassin, killing research opportunities.
Even though the intentions of the Treasure Tree aren't subjective, its actions ultimately result in dragging down the institute, hindering Xia Country's efforts in tracing back the origins of spiritual particles.
Tracing the roots of spiritual particles is currently in its infancy, still chasing the footsteps of spiritual particle civilization.
Every damaged page of literature by the Treasure Tree could be a severe blow to scientific experiments.
Therefore, a description appears on the comment of Wish Power settlement, [The ancient dreadful demon, hidden in the dragon vein, devouring the fortune of the common people], describing the evil of the Treasure Tree.
The later description [Shake hands and reconcile, engage in great careers] simply means Master Fuli had thoroughly hammered the Treasure Tree's head, forcing it to reluctantly live in the Security Bureau, leading a leisurely life with food and shelter provided.
And the Treasure Tree, through its regeneration ability, can assist the Security Bureau in excavating various sites.
The wild Treasure Tree exudes wickedness all over, causing landslides and tsunamis with its every move, consuming the future opportunities of Xia Country people.
The domesticated Treasure Tree, full of treasures, can absorb spiritual particles at home and secrete tree sap, while outside, it can help the Security Bureau investigate underground ruins, carry out excavations, and provide full escort services.
Flawlessly perfect... this describes Master Treasure Tree.
However.
To catch the Treasure Tree and enhance the national fortune, the task required is to subdue that stubborn tree.
With the stubborn character of the Treasure Tree, it would have been extremely difficult to subdue it unless Master Fuli personally captured it.
"Master Fuli! Are you up there?"
"We brought the herbicide!"
While Master Fuli was looking at the wish list, a call echoed from the cavern's lower levels, Wang Qiqi's loud shout reverberating in the cavern's upper space.
"You can come over directly!"
"I turned Master Treasure Tree into a sapling..." Master Fuli shouted back in the direction they came from.
As Master Fuli's voice fell, a buzz of wings filled the cavern space, as the Ba Mountain Mosquito, carrying a blue plastic barrel on its back, flew over the city and landed in front of Master Fuli.
The 200-liter blue plastic barrel was placed on the ground by the Ba Mountain Mosquito.
"Wang Qiqi mentioned that this herbicide was used by the teachers at the Agricultural Research Institute, and they all praised it. Spirit Plants wreak havoc; they wanted to plant students in the fields. Just spray some, and the Spirit Plants will wither..."
Seeing the puzzled expression on Master Fuli's face, Ba Mountain Mosquito explained.
As a major cultivator of Spirit Plants, the Agricultural Research Institute would encounter outstanding plant competitors during every harvest season, including but not limited to Spirit Plants wanting to plant students in the fields, tomato shooters, and water spinach tentacle monsters.
Having suffered losses before, the Agricultural Research Institute naturally assembled corresponding teams to research this phenomenon, preventing even more outstanding occurrences.
Corresponding herbicides do exist in the Agricultural Research Institute, but they're not something senior students can access.
"There's no need for herbicide at the moment. That thing is crying so much it's beyond reason."
Master Fuli raised a hand and pointed across the area, indicating the little green curly-haired figure on the ground, hugging its knees, full of defiance and dissatisfaction, rolling around.
"......"
Following Master Fuli's direction, Ba Mountain Mosquito was momentarily stunned. If Master Fuli hadn't spoken, Ba Mountain Mosquito wouldn't have imagined that the girl rolling and writhing on the ground was indeed the true form of Master Treasure Tree...
Once Ba Mountain Mosquito realized, it ran to Master Treasure Tree immediately, crouching down and extending its arms.
"..."
Master Treasure Tree looked up at Ba Mountain Mosquito, seeming to recognize the spirit beast in front of it, moved into its embrace, and raised its arm to point at Master Fuli, crying loudly:
"Waa—waa! Waa waa waa!"
It was him! This fox is no good, grabbing my neck and flipping me over!
With his two feet pressing under my underarms, he used me like a pogo stick, bouncing hard on the ground...
Waa—my head hums with pain.
"Ooh ooh ooh..."
Wings extended behind Ba Mountain Mosquito, cradling Master Treasure Tree in its arms, soothing it gently like a child.
"That's Master Treasure Tree..."
Wang Qiqi, who arrived slightly later, glanced curiously over at Ba Mountain Mosquito and the girl in its embrace.
"Yes, don't be fooled by its small size; it's a typical berserk beast. Once it enters its second phase, it could tear down an entire city if not stopped."
Master Fuli waved a hand, saying: "It was just startled and hasn't come to its senses yet. Let it act out for now. Once it's familiar with its current environment, we'll have it repay its dues."
"By the way... during our fight, we might have inadvertently damaged some relics. Go notify Wang Ya and her team to come over and conduct archaeological work, to prevent those antiques from getting destroyed."
As Master Fuli spoke, he surveyed the surroundings. The entire cavern was devoid of light, shrouded in darkness.
However, the darkness of the environment did not in the slightest impede Master Fuli's ability to view the space around him.
"Okay..."
Wang Qiqi nodded slightly, adjusting the brightness of her headlamp. She fetched a signal gun from her backpack, firing a flare towards the cavern roof to send a gathering signal to the forest rangers left in the lower cavern.
But.
After firing the flare, Wang Qiqi noticed something off about Master Fuli. She voiced her curiosity:
"Master Fuli..."
"Your tail color seems off, doesn't it? Why does it look pinkish?"
The military-grade flare, upon reaching the sky, deployed a parachute to extend its hang time.
During the flare's hang time, when it reaches its pre-set altitude, it's capable of illuminating up to a kilometer radius.
As the cavern brightened, Wang Qiqi finally noticed that the color on Master Fuli's tail seemed a bit off.
White, still white, but with a hint of pink....
