Chapter 566 Red Crow Pattern

early spring,

Long Bai sent Bai Fan back to the mountain, and on the way helped Wu Fan complete an evolution at a young age.

After finishing the work, Long Bai hurried to Yinbai Mountain...

The wind from the north is still cold.

The snow on the mountains has not yet melted.

In the mountains, Yamashiko was slowly cleaning the ditches and canals in preparation for the new year's watering work. He noticed the fluctuations in the force that controlled the flight of the throne, looked up, and ran towards the cave where he lived.

"Yamaki, how are you preparing?"

Long Bai hunted a wild deer along the way, raised his paw and threw it down.

Shan Shi took a closer look and said, "After eating the force food, there are vague signs of evolution."

"Okay! Eat enough, rest, and get ready to evolve."

Long Bai jumped to the ground with the bag of spider silk, "Our self-produced ant king honey in Yunji Continent costs 50,000 raw stones per jar. I brought 10 jars here. It should be almost finished after eating."

Yamagaki: "Okay!"

Living in front of a cave,

Long Bai boiled a pot of water and slowly cut the meat and boiled it before eating.

Yamashi holds the metal can and eats it wildly.

Chatting while eating,

Long Bai talked about some of his experiences in Wanglan Continent this year, as well as the fact that Red Fox is about to break through to the lord level...

Late that night,

Yamashita enters a state of dormant evolution.

Eight days later,

After waking up from a deep sleep, she successfully completed the molt and evolved into the 6th age lord before Long Bai.

Eating resumes.

"How about Yamashita?"

Long Bai saw that it was similar and asked.

Yamagaki buried his head in thought and said uncertainly: "...Successfully comprehended the new ability...What a strange wood-type original energy."

Yamasaki said, thought again, got up and walked to an ordinary azure persimmon tree not far from the entrance of the cave, and raised his left front foot.

"Long Bai, look."

As he spoke, the crimson wood element energy condensed on the tips of his toes.

As the ability is activated, the majestic energy is highly condensed, stirring up circles of red light.

At the tips of the persimmon's toes, the red color gradually deepens into red and black.

The mountain persimmon locks onto the main trunk of the persimmon tree, slowly moves its claws forward, and taps gently.

A force pattern of bright red and dull red and black was imprinted on the bark of the tree, quickly penetrated inward, and finally turned into a looming black ink tree leaf-like original energy mark of seven or eight centimeters in length - red black pattern.

Long Bai and Shan Shi activated their spiritual power at the same time.

This leaf-shaped original energy imprint is integrated with the plant and continues to function, slowly extracting the natural force. After transformation, it turns into an extremely unfamiliar force energy and integrates into the trunk.

It does belong to the wood type ability, but it is very different from all common wood type abilities and is more like an alien ability.

Keep observing for a while,

Yamashiki: "Longcypress, I can confirm that the ability will not have a negative impact on the plants."

Long Bai: "Yes——"

But there is no obvious positive impact.

The ‘Red Crow Pattern’ continuously works to strengthen the plant, making its branches and roots stronger, and its leaves more resilient, improving the plant’s resistance to impact and environmental adaptability.

Obviously, this ability is not achieved overnight. On the contrary, it takes a long time to accumulate, and this time is probably measured in years.

Long Bai: "Shanshi, how many red black patterns can one plant hold?"

Yamagaki: "I don't feel it... I won't know until I try it..."

Long Bai: "What about the duration? Obviously, the power of the mark will decline over time."

Yamagaki: "I think too..."

Shan Shi asked back: "Long Bai, didn't you ask clearly during the exchange?"

Long Bai: "I was so happy that I forgot to ask."

After listening to the introduction, I felt that this ability was very useful. I was thinking about exchanging it with the divine white barberry fruit to take advantage, without thinking about it...

Long Bai: "It's not a big problem, Shanshi. You'll know after trying it more."

Yamagaki: "This ability consumes a lot of original energy. One ability almost uses up all the original energy reserves. I need time to rest."

Long Bai: "Okay! Eat enough first, and then go to the Control Throne to recover. It will be faster."

Shanshi continued to eat and regained his original strength.

Long Bai lay down under the persimmon tree and checked after a while.

No change visible.

Yamashi wakes up late at night, and it is not until dawn the next day that his original energy is restored to perfection.

Let’s come together to the azure persimmon tree planted by God.

Long Bai's tentacles swung continuously, and his eight-shot prosperity ability fell.

The god-given seed of Tianqing Persimmon sent a kind and close spiritual thought, and then sent a questioning spiritual thought to Shanshi.

"Tianqing, I have successfully understood the ability of the 'Red Crow Pattern'! Now try its effect."

Yamashiki spoke briefly and raised his right front foot. The special wood element energy continued to condense, and the tips of his claws gradually lit up with a red light of energy.

Concentrate the original energy of the whole body, condense it to a point, and gently tap the backbone of the azure persimmon god-given seed.

The leaf-like original imprint of the black ink tree takes shape. The red leaves and black veins are lifelike and quickly penetrate into the bark of the tree, becoming vaguely visible.

Long Bai and Shan Shi launched their mental scanning sensors at the same time and continued to observe.

The God-given Seed of Azure Persimmon also silently felt the changes. After a long time, he asked: "Shan Persimmon, is this ability too weak? Can you use a few more shots?"

"Try-"

Shan Shi looked at Long Bai.

Long Bai understood the idea, trotted back to the cave, and moved the ruling throne over.

The throne on the mountain is restored.

Until the evening, the original energy was restored to perfection.

The mountain persimmon circled around the god-given azure persimmon seed, changed its side, raised its claws to gather its original power, and fired out a red-black pattern ability...

As if being pulled, the original energy of the wood element actually penetrated and moved along the main trunk, converging on the 'Red Crow Pattern' mark formed by using the ability in the morning.

The original looming leaf-like original energy mark of the black ink tree is bright and conspicuous. It absorbs the natural original force and converts it into special wood original energy by 50%.

Got it!

A tree can only hold one 'Red Crow Pattern' mark, but it can be superimposed and strengthened.

Have a night's rest.

Early the next morning, Shan Shi once again unleashed his 'Red Crow Pattern' ability against the god-given seed of Azure Shima.

The leaf-shaped original energy imprint is three points brighter, and it looks like a red and black leaf attached to the trunk of the tree.

Compared with the original, the rate of absorbing natural force has also increased by 20 to 30%.

"Long Bai, do you want to try again?"

Yamakaki asked.

"No."

Long Bai analyzed: "Ability stacking has a significant attenuation. The limit may be four or five times of stacking, and the fourth and fifth time effects will not be ideal."

Long Bai: "Shan Shi, don't waste any time. Are you okay with Yin Bai Shan's early spring?"

Yamagaki: "...It's not much."

Long Bai: "Then I'll take you a few days. Let's go to the Purple Lime Worm Country and give the Seeds given by the God of White Barberry a few red and black patterns first. Then we go to Xianglan Mountain and give three shots each to Azure, Black and Yellow. . Calculate, it will take you about half a month, just in time, half a month later, the snow on Yinbai Mountain will also melt."

Yamagaki: "...Yes."

Yamagaki: "Then let's set off now. Go and come back quickly."

…

Purple linden country.

Long Bai deliberately waited until dark before entering the place of force. He put away his throne and walked instead. He took a detour to avoid Ye Xiang and Lin Nan, and quietly came to the tree planted by the god Bai Bo.

"Your Majesty!"

"Long Bai——"

"Yamaki?"

Emerald cypresses, giant cypresses, and barberry trees all greeted me.

"Yeah. Something happened. Be quiet."

Long Bai waved his tentacles gently to signal, then raised his claws to wave.

Shan Shi walked forward quickly, walked to the tree planted by the god Bai Qian, locked the trunk, and gently raised his claws, the original energy of the wood condensed on the toes...

"Huh?" The spiritual power of Jin He's god-given seed suddenly appeared.

"Ant? Persimmon?"

The spiritual power of Lin Nan's sacred tree surged forward and asked, "What are you two doing secretly?"

Long Bai: "It's okay..."

Are you old guys too keen?

It's more than 1500 meters away.

Long Bai was speechless.

Yamagaki, who was using his ability, was in a dilemma. He hesitated for a while, but finally released his ability.

--Huh!

Lin Nan's sacred tree and the spiritual power of the seeds given by Jin He glanced at it, and were surprised at the same time.

"What ability is this?"

"What a strange fluctuation of original energy!"

"Wood ability?"

"I almost thought it was a supernatural power."

“Isn’t it something from the northern hemisphere?”

"The ability given by the divine fruit transferred from the southern hemisphere?"

"It looks like an enhanced wood-type ability. What is its specific function? Strengthen plants? What kind of enhancement?"

"Ant, please tell me carefully..."

…

There is no need for Longbai and Shanshi to talk to each other. You and I analyzed the Linnan Sacred Tree and Jinhe God-given seeds one by one.

The spiritual power of the purple linden god-given seed followed.

Zizhen asked politely: "Longbai Ant King, Shanshi? Are you here? Why are you so quiet? What's the matter?"

"It's okay. It's okay. I'm afraid of disturbing your rest. It's okay, Zilin, you should rest quickly."

Long Bai hurriedly denied it and briefly introduced: "It is indeed a new ability from the southern hemisphere. The black ink tree, the divine black ink fruit, gives the ability called red black pattern. Specifically, it leaves a mark on the trunk of the tree. The leaf-shaped original energy imprint continues to work, strengthening the plant, making its branches and roots stronger, and its leaves more resilient. Nothing else, just an ordinary little ability."

——Mediocre?

Lin Nan Sacred Tree: "Jianjia, come here and give me two hundred rounds of your mediocre little ability."

Yamashita: "..."

Yamagaki: "I'm afraid it won't work..."

Yamagaki: "A tree can only bear one mark. Moreover, every time this ability is used, all my original energy will be overdrawn. Now, my original energy has been exhausted."

Linnan Sacred Tree also noticed it and said: "Then quickly recover! Give me a try first."

Jin He: "Shanshi, give me one too!"

Zizhen said politely: "Shanshi, if it's convenient, I'd like one too."

Yamagaki: "Oh..."

Shan Shi looked at Long Bai.

Long Bai: "..."

Long Bai released the throne to let Shan Shi rest and recover.

The next morning,

Under the urging of the Linnan Sacred Tree, Shan Shi gave it a shot first.

"wrong!"

Lin Nan's sacred tree experienced it personally and saw through the nature of the ability, saying: "Although it can only carry one mark, the original power can be superimposed. Jianjia, please recover quickly and give me a few more shots."

Linnan Sacred Tree asked: "Ant, what do you mean by sneaking back last night?"

Long Bai: "Nothing else..."

Finished.

I knew it would be like this.

The news quickly spread to Yexiang, and she insisted on trying it.

There are other sacred trees and god-given seeds, and the Citizen sacred tree must not be left behind.

There are also a number of life species that have taken root in the purple linden country, such as yellow skewers and wisterias, which are somewhat interesting...

In the end, Long Bai and Shan Shi stayed in the purple linden country for twenty days before leaving...

…

When Long Bai sent the mountain persimmon back to Yinbai Mountain and then back to Xianglan Mountain, it was time to trade with the Flame Spider Traveler again this year.

The Edelweiss Spider King arrived on time.

Hongnan Mountain separates nests and trades in caves.

Hearts, Heliotrope, and Styloma are already waiting.

The Edelweiss Spider King took off three large spider silk bags from his carapace and handed them to the cracks in the starship.

"Heliotrope, Styloma, and Heart, this is a small gift to replenish you."

Long Bai waved his tentacles and directed the worker ants to come forward and help open the bag to check.

Inside are various god-given force foods from the southern hemisphere packed into small bags.

The output of the Insect King's territory is all very heavy. Such a large bag can be worth at least ten or two hundred thousand rough stones.

"Thank you, Edelweiss Spider King!"

"Thank you, Edelweiss Spider King!"

"The generous Edelweiss Spider King!"

Hearts, Heliotrope, and Styloma express their thanks with joy.

Long Bai directed the worker ants and stuffed them into small bags one by one.

Finished.

The Edelweiss Spider King said politely: "Heart Tao, Pillar Spot, please stay out of the way."

Hearts and Stud Spot turned away.

Long Bai also wisely led the cedar, black persimmon, and black locust trees away.

The Edelweiss Spider King held up his original energy shield and stared at Heliotrope, silent.

Heliotrope looked left, right, up and down, but said nothing.

There was a stalemate for a few seconds.

The Edelweiss Spider King was the first to ask: "Heliotrope, over there in Wanzu Continent, what is the outcome of the discussion between the Flame Spider Kingdom's stewards and spider kings?"

Heliotrope: "...King Caowu Spider didn't tell me when he came."

Heliotrope: "However, I have already heard the news. In the past, spider kings within the tribe would participate in the bidding after meeting the qualifications for the divine fruits produced by the God-given seeds of Acanthopanax. Last winter gathering, I heard the news that , the bidding for the divine Wujiaguo will be cancelled."

After Hedootini finished speaking, he carefully stared at the Edelweiss Spider King, observing the reaction in his eyes, and asked: "Edelweiss Spider King, where are you? What did the Phytolacca Sacred Tree say about transporting 10 billion rough stones?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "..."

The Edelweiss Spider King admires this little guy Heliotrope very much.

In addition to regular transactions, the Flame Spider Traveling Merchant Trade occasionally encounters important transaction negotiations involving huge amounts of money that are related to the development of the caravan.

This kind of negotiation is usually a back-and-forth between the caravan leader and the tribe leader or the insect king who specializes in trading matters. The true and false are true and false, which is the most test of the spider's wisdom and courage.

Heliotrope has no stage fright at a young age, and the little guy has the temperament of a leader.

The Edelweiss Spider King replied calmly: "The Phytolacca Sacred Tree only agreed, and the divine Phytolacca Fruit produced in four years will be sent to the Continent of Ten Thousand Races."

Heliotrope: "One?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "The rule over there is that every time the pokeweed fruit is produced, the pokeweed tree will designate certain spider kings to come forward for questioning. This kind of questioning is actually a test. In the end, the pokeweed tree finally The fruit will be given to the spider that answers the best question and is approved by it. If everyone fails to answer the question, the pokeweed tree will be furious and destroy the fruit."

Edelweiss Spider King: "As for the Ten Thousand Tribes Continent, the pokeweed tree cannot personally question or test, but the rules cannot be broken too thoroughly. If one of the divine pokeweed fruits is produced, we will arrange to allocate one. The pokeweed tree never treats any insects. Make any promise. There is no insect in this world who is qualified to make a promise from the Phytolacca Sacred Tree."

Edelweiss Spider King: "The second, third, fourth, and fifth spiders requested by the Grass Spider King can only be purchased in one batch, and the next batch, and the next batch. According to the Phytolacca Sacred Tree, The situation determines.”

The Edelweiss Spider King said, paused, changed the subject, and said: "Of course, since the pokeweed tree has agreed to hand over the divine pokeweed fruit four years later to the Wanzu Continent, there must be a third Two, a third, a fourth, a fifth and even more. We are all descendants of the pokeweed tree, and it will not favor anyone."

Heliotrope: "...I understand."

Heliotrope: "Then I will go back and report to the Grass Spider King?"

Edelweiss Spider King: "Go."

…

Wan Guo Continent,

The atmosphere at the trading square where the Watase Flame Spider Tribe's caravans gathered was unusual this year.

In the ancestral land of the kingdom, the five steward Spider Kings, who had long since stopped walking on the mainland, actually followed the caravan of the Caowu Spider King.

There was no doubt that something big was going on.

All the spiders kept their distance wisely, and curiously looked here from time to time.

Caowu Spider King and his party are also always paying attention to the movements on the hills.

Heliotrope came out of the passage, briefly greeted Qi Ye, Luo Li and the others, trotted over the hill, and quickly rushed to the square.

As soon as he got closer, swish, swish, six original energy barriers rose at the same time, shrouding the heliotrope.

"Caowu Spider King!"

"The Fruit Spider King, the Thistle Spider King, the Yujiu Spider King, the Duro Spider King, and the Sheath Spider King."

Heliotrope turned around and greeted the spider kings one by one.

The Grass Crow Spider King asked: "How?"

Heliotrope: "The Edelweiss Spider King said that the rule over pokeweed is that every time the divine pokeweed fruit is produced..."

Heliotrope repeated the words of the Edelweiss Spider King word for word.

The Kusanagi Spider King turned around and asked the old Spider King, the steward of the Watase Flame Spider Tribe: "King Yujiu Spider, what do you think?"

King Yujiu Spider asked the Spider King, the steward of the Round Purple Flame Spider tribe: "King Panguo Spider, you make the decision."

Spider King: "This is a bargaining transaction, a typical style of traveling merchants of flame spiders. The Phytolacca Sacred Tree is a plant, an ancestor, and a transcendent existence that is one and the same. If it works, it will work, and if it doesn't, it won't work. The Phytolacca Sacred Tree will not follow us. Bargaining back and forth.”

Pango Spider King: "Since there is no direct refusal, it means that the Phytolacca Sacred Tree has agreed to our request. The rhetoric made up by the Edelweiss Spider King is nothing more than a disguised way of blocking us, asking us to transport as many resources as possible. Return to Phytolacca.”

--thorough!

The spiders unanimously agreed.

Grass Crow Spider King: "Then let's..."

The Spider King said: "The divine seeds of the divine five-plus wood and the divine seeds of the divine black bitterwood are too precious. It is not safe to keep them with us. I am afraid that there will be unpredictable mishaps in the future. They should be sent back." The ancestral land of Phytophaga cerevisiae.”

The Fruit Spider King: "A flower is related to the reputation of the tribe. Reputation is equivalent to life, so it must not be given away."

The Fruit Spider King: "As for the ordinary seeds given by the gods, first pick 20 and send them back. The rough stones can be sent back for 10 billion. The treasure house map where the ancestors stored the rough stones in the Thousand Trees Continent in the last period of the Force can also be sent back."

The Fruit Spider King: "But not immediately, nor all at once. Four years later, after getting the first divine Phytolacca fruit, we will start again and deliver them in batches. The divine seeds will be given priority, and the rough stones will be followed. Finally, the ordinary god-given seeds are given.”

The spiders agreed.

The Grass Crow Spider King looked at Heliotrope and asked, "Do you understand?"

Heliotrope: "I understand."

Grass Crow Spider King: "Do you know how to reply?"

Heliotrope: "I know."

Heliotrope: "The Grass Spider King, the Pangolin Spider King, you spider kings, there is a small question. Last year, the Edelweiss Spider King reported the situation to the Phytolacca Sacred Tree, and the Phytolacca Sacred Tree actually judged from just a few words that the Grass Crow Spider King was a A spider that is calm and steady, has good conduct, and is extremely intelligent. The Phytolacca Sacred Tree has designated that the first divine Phytolacca Fruit should be used by the Caowu Spider King."

The Grass Spider King was shocked, "As expected! The Phytolacca Sacred Tree knows everything, and nothing can be hidden from it."

"..."

The other four Spider Kings looked at Spider King Yujiu silently.

Yujiu Spider King: "..."

Five divine pokeweed fruits, one for each of the five parts of the flame spider.

The five old steward spider kings present are representatives elected by various ministries. King Yujiu Spider is the most virtuous and respected steward spider king of the Watase Flame Spider Tribe.

Obviously, the Grass Spider King is not willing to give in and wants to fight for the Phytolacca Fruit belonging to the Watase Flame Spider Tribe...

All of a sudden...

What an insidious guy...

The Grass Spider King continued to fight for the white spot and asked: "Heliotrope, are you sure that the Phytolacca Sacred Tree has designated me to use the first one?"

Heliotrope: "That's true!"

Grass Crow Spider King: "No. No way. You go back and tell the Edelweiss Spider King and ask it to tell the Phytolacca Sacred Tree. This is not appropriate. In terms of age and qualifications, I am not qualified."

Heliotrope: "Okay!"

Heliotrope cautiously said: "The Phytolacca Sacred Tree speaks for itself, and the will of our ancestors cannot be doubted..."

"..."

The spiders were speechless.

Yujiu Spider King remained calm and said: "In this case, five divine pokeweed fruits will not be enough to share. Heliotrope, go and negotiate with the Edelweiss Spider King. If you designate one for the Caowei Spider King, , then we need six here. The resources of the Flame Spider Kingdom in the Ten Thousand Races Continent were accumulated by the five Flame Spider tribes together, regardless of each other. This time, each of our five tribes selected the best Spider King. Come on, it’s not appropriate for anyone to be left behind.”

The Caowei Spider King also echoed: "The Yujiu Spider King is right. In this case, five divine fruits are not enough. Heliotrope, you go over and communicate with the Edelweiss Spider King again, and trouble it to fight for it from the Phytolacca Sacred Tree... …”

…

Dragon cypress, hearts and column spots trade normally, and goods come and go continuously.

Heliotrope ran back and forth, passing messages between the two ends, and it took more than a dozen times to finish.

The Edelweiss Spider King leaves.

Long Bai couldn't help but call out to Hedouchi and asked: "Heliotrope, I heard that all the five old spider kings of your Flame Spider Kingdom have come here? Why do you come back and forth so many times to discuss something?"

Heidi said, "Longbai Ant King, I really can't say this. It's a very important matter. If this is leaked, I'll be cut into pieces by the five spider kings when I turn around."

——Is it that serious?

Long Bai became even more curious.

I can guess a little bit, it must be related to the 'magic Phytolacca Fruit', but I can't guess what the specific situation is.

The red peach, cypress, cedar, and black persimmon, including the black locust who had no experience in the world, all looked at the heliotrope curiously.

Heliotrope wailed: "I really can't say it! It will kill the spider~"

"Forget it."

Long Bai waved his claws and warned: "Zuban, be honest and don't embarrass Heliotrope. If something happens, let's see how Luo Ji deals with you..."
