Chapter 618 - An Ultimate Roller-coaster Experience!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The commotion outside the city did not affect the city at all.
Chu Feng had no idea that a large number of experts had already gathered.
Of course, even if he knew, it was none of his business.
Previously, Divine Blacksmith De Lu had said that the Great Emperor's City would deliberately attract some experts to help in the battle. This meant that it was only a matter of time before someone arrived.
Anyway, the first of Divine Blacksmith De Lu's treasures had already been obtained in advance, so he was not afraid that others would snatch it.
To Chu Feng, the more people who came, the better!
The more people there were, the stronger the defense of the city would be.
Otherwise, not to mention military merits, it was hard to say who would win the next battle.
If the Great Emperor's City was breached, they would not be able to escape at all.
Therefore, he had to continue to strengthen his side.
Chu Feng sized up the eighteen spiritual trees before him. They all seemed to be of the same species and looked a little like locust trees. However, Chu Feng could not be sure. He merely called them that for the time being.
The Locust Tree King in the middle was about a thousand meters tall and exceptionally thick. Perhaps it was also the strongest. However, Chu Feng was worried that he would be disappointed and affect his confidence. Thus, he planned to come and investigate this fellow last.
He led everyone to the corner where there was a small locust tree that was only three meters tall.
Yu pursed his lips.
"With such a small physique, even if it's alive, its strength probably isn't much. If it has the strength of the Heaven Martial Realm, you should thank the gods."
Chu Feng glanced at Yu angrily.
"If you don't know how to speak, stay away."
With that, he ignored Yu and slowly approached the small locust tree with the token in his hand.
Immediately, a dazzling light appeared on the token.
Chu Feng's eyes immediately lit up.
"What's—"
Before Chu Feng could say anything, the small locust tree that seemed to have already withered in front of him suddenly emitted a faint light. The withered branches actually began to tremble slightly, but it looked very strenuous.
Chu Feng was overjoyed!
He did not expect the first spiritual plant guard to be alive!
His luck was good!
However, from the looks of it, the tree seemed to be dying.
And at this moment, suddenly, a light curtain appeared on the token of Divine Blacksmith De Lu.
On it, there was a lifelike small locust tree. It was full of vitality and kept shaking its branches.
Below was a line of small characters.
[No. 18 Spiritual Plant Guard: Mosley]
[Race: Leguminosae]
[Characteristics: Possesses high poison resistance; can cast Death Entanglement to restrain the enemy; can carry out pollen attacks; can produce life essence; blooms in three years and bear fruit in three years. The fruit has a good detoxification effect.]
[Grade: Quasi-God]
[Status: 1. Weakness: A portion of its strength has been obliterated by the passage of time. After testing, it only has the strength of the Seventh-Turn Heaven Martial Realm. 2. Insufficient spirituality: Deep sleep has caused its spirituality to dissipate. It can't wake up now. It can be reawakened after replenishing its spirituality (13/100)]
Chu Feng looked at the light curtain in front of him and his eyes lit up.
Was this… the identity system of the spiritual plant guards?!
Good lord, the technology back then was indeed high enough!
In this way, he could easily understand the real-time state of each spiritual plant guard.
Chu Feng observed carefully.
The characteristics were not bad. They were not outstanding, but they were quite useful.
Most importantly, this little locust tree was actually a quasi-god spiritual plant guard back then!
As expected, one could not judge a book by its cover. Spiritual plants could not be judged by their height alone!
Too much time had passed and its strength was no longer as great as before. Even so, it still had the strength of a Seventh-Turn Heaven Martial Realm expert!
That was equivalent to a Spiritual Abode expert!
However, a lot of its spirituality had disappeared. This situation felt like a common problem with spiritual plants.
After obtaining a lifespan that far exceeded that of other living beings, they would have to pay another price.
Even someone as strong as the Heavenly Tree King had fallen asleep because of lack of spirituality.
"It needs to be awakened with spirituality…"
Chu Feng looked at the progress bar attached. 13/100. It seemed that he was still far from being able to awaken it.
"Does this mean that if I want to revive these spiritual plant guards, they have to compete with the Heavenly Tree King over spirituality?"
Chu Feng muttered.
That was for sure.
If killing the Netherworld Spirit Body could obtain spirituality, he would definitely prioritize reviving the Heavenly Tree King.
The existence of this Great Emperor's City was to revive the Heavenly Tree King.
If he were to snatch it from them now, would he be killed by their guards?
It was snatching food from the tiger's mouth!
Chu Feng was truly afraid.
He had just walked around the city and saw too many powerful armored soldiers. He was not their match at all.
Of course, Chu Feng also considered it.
Since Divine Blacksmith De Lu had left this method for his juniors, it was impossible for him not to think of this.
From this perspective, the spirituality required to revive these spiritual plant guards should be only a drop in the ocean for the Heavenly Tree King.
At the very least, it would not be too harmful.
In that case, perhaps he would not be targeted by the city?
Chu Feng was only guessing.
He would have to wait and see.
After all, with such great combat power before him, it was impossible for Chu Feng to shelve it.
Just as Chu Feng was pondering, the light around the little locust tree dissipated again, and the trembling branches completely stopped moving.
It was as if a computer had crashed and could not be restarted.
Chu Feng sighed. Evidently, without sufficient spirituality, it was impossible to awaken it.
He suppressed the regret in his heart.
Chu Feng continued to look at the other spiritual plant guards.
The second spiritual plant guard was much larger than the small locust tree earlier. It was six to seven meters tall.
If the three-meter-tall spiritual plant guard was quasi-divine-grade, what about the tree twice as tall?
How strong would it be?
Chu Feng was filled with excitement.
He hurriedly put the token forward.
But after waiting for a full ten seconds, the token did not react at all.
Chu Feng was dumbfounded.
Did this mean… that this spiritual plant guard was dead?
Even the identity system did not pop up. It was probably really hopeless.
Chu Feng curled his lip.
He had gotten excited for nothing.
He could not help but look at the row of spiritual plant guards behind him.
Please don't let them all die!
At the very least, give me a few stronger spiritual plant guards!
Chu Feng prayed and continued to move.
However, it was as if his luck had been used on the first spiritual plant guard. The five following spiritual plant guards didn't react at all!
"Damn, no way…"
Chu Feng had a helpless expression on his face.
He could only continue to carefully approach the eighth spiritual plant guard.
This spiritual plant guard was almost in the middle.
Clearly, even among the spiritual plant guards back then, its status was extremely high.
Its height even exceeded a hundred meters!
It stood there like an iron tower.
Chu Feng and the others were like ants before it.
However, because of his successive failures, Chu Feng no longer had any hope.
He casually pasted the token on it.
Right now, he just wanted to finish his investigation quickly and go about his business.
He did not want to suffer anymore!
Every time, he was given hope and then disappointed. Wasn't he being played with?
Just as Chu Feng was complaining, this time, the token in his hand actually lit up again…
