Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Mature Body

Translator: 549690339

His equipment was part of Song Jian’s power, offering many attribute enhancements. He was unwilling to let the young tree spirit eat any of it. At this moment, three roots emerged from the dirt and hung in the air in front of Song Jian, almost like a puppy lifting its front paws and poking out its tongue at its owner.

Looking at the tree spirit sapling that would mature in less than twenty hours, Song Jian gritted his teeth and handed over his P18C handgun, which had been with him for the longest time.

Swish-

In the blink of an eye, his handgun was snatched away by a root.

“Wait, you really eat equipment?” Song Jian suddenly felt like he had fallen into a huge pit. He couldn’t just keep feeding the tree spirit sapling, but also didn’t want to stop after having already invested so much.

Song Jian couldn’t help but silently recite the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra in his heart, “Just give it, give it, give it all to him, all of it, stop thinking about it.” After chanting a few times, he felt much better. With a smile on his face, Song Jian passed over the “Beretta double barrel shotgun,” and gently said, “Eat, eat, grow quickly…”

“Corrupt Sword, it’s a green-quality weapon with a bit of added strength…” Song Jian’s face twitched as he presented the long sword to the several roots in front of him.

The helmet, zombie general’s armor, Tusk Fang Stinger….

“Damn it, I’m giving you everything, how am 1 supposed to kill monsters now!” Looking at the remaining equipment on his body, Song Jian took off the black stone tablet from his jewelry slot and handed it over. He couldn’t let the tree spirit sapling eat all of his remaining gear!

“Eat, eat, you reckless thing…” Song Jian’s mood quickly soured despite the calming effects of the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra.

A root reached for the black jewelry, but as it neared, the stone tablet suddenly emitted a blinding black light.

Hiss-

A burning sound echoed, and the approaching root began to curl and crack. Before long, a section of the root had turned into charred ash.

Immediately, the other roots dared not approach the stone tablet, shaking violently as they kept a safe distance. They vibrated incessantly, as if begging Song Jian for something.

“This thing, is it really this powerful?” Song Jian was surprised. A piece of jewelry that only provided a bit of vitality points was like a fighter jet amidst the trash. If it weren’t for the empty slot in Song Jian’s jewelry section, this thing would have been long tossed into a box.

“A great find, it seems to be a gem!” Song Jian hastily placed the jewelry into the package slot that could be brought back to the real world.

Now, Song Jian could bring two items with him. Among the two slots in his real-world package, one held a gold brick, and now the other held this piece of black jewelry.

“This is all that’s left, if you don’t eat it, there’s nothing I can do!” Song Jian couldn’t bear to feed the tree spirit sapling his zombie commander armor and Tusk Fang Stinger. He could only bring out a zombie core and hand it over.

Swish-

The root swiftly took the zombie core. Looking at the time, it had actually reduced by ten minutes.

Song Jian’s eyes lit up. Not bad, mate! There were plenty of zombie cores!

Clatter-

Song Jian pulled out a large pile of zombie cores and stacked them on the ground, but in the end, he still held on to a hundred, to be used to build a Blood Pool.

As the tree spirit was devouring the zombie cores, a cold aura began to emit from its body. Eerie black stripes gradually formed on its trunk and branches creating a face-like design on the tree spirit sapling’s trunk.

At this point, the tree spirit sapling couldn’t be called a sapling anymore. It was over ten meters tall with a diameter close to three meters. Its canopy spread wide, blocking the entire front yard of the villa. It was only a meter or two shorter than the spire of the Manor Castle.

The tree spirit sapling, which had grown across two Spirit Fields, had finally matured.

System: The tree spirit sapling has grown into a mature entity. It requires watering with Spirit Spring Water to develop consciousness. Please water with one hundred standard units of Spirit Spring Water.

Son of a bitch!

Song Jian felt an unnamable fire burning from the depths of his heart, rushing straight to his crown.

Spirit Spring Water?

What Spirit Spring Water?

The what Spring Water?

You need Spirit Spring Water?

“Why didn’t you say it earlier? Why didn’t you say it earlier, huh? Why didn’t…” Song Jian’s face turned red with anxiety. For this sapling, Song Jian had virtually poured all hope onto it, almost breaking the bank! But now you’re telling me it needs Spirit Spring Water? Where am I supposed to get that now?!”

System: In 3 minutes, if Spirit Spring Water is not used to water, the sapling’s self-awareness cannot be activated, and it can only become a resource tree spirit that can generate one hundred logs every day.

“One hundred pieces of log, do 1 need one hundred pieces of log? 1 have tens of thousands of logs in my inventory. 1 could literally beat you to death with them. Do you believe me?” An angry Song Jian started cursing.

System: Time left: 2 minutes and 58 seconds…

System: Time left: 2 minutes and 53 seconds…

System: Time left: 2 minutes and 4.8 seconds…

“Spirit Spring Water, Spirit SpringWater…” Song Jian felt helpless. Suddenly, he spotted the blueprint for a Blood Pool in his inventory and a fierce determination filled his eyes.

“Damn it, there’s no Spirit Spring Water, but would you take Zombie Blood Pool water instead?”

Song Jian immediately opened the construction interface, selected to use the “Blood Pool Blueprints”. Instantly, the phantom of a Blood Pool twenty-something square meters in size appeared before Song Jian’s eyes.

After reviewing the Blood Pool phantom, Song Jian initially intended to place it next to the tree spirit sapling in the yard, but there wasn’t enough space, so he could only reposition it within Manor Castle.

However, after several attempts, he realized that neither the first, second, nor the third floor had enough room to accommodate it.

System: The Blood Pool needs to be placed in a cool, dark area, away from any sunlight.

System: Time left: 1 minute and 57 seconds…

“Will it suffice if I just block all your goddamn doors and windows?” Frustrated, Song Jian had no choice but to put the Blood Pool in the basement.

The pool took up a third of the sixty-square-meter basement. Its size was two meters deep, seven meters long, and three meters wide. As it appeared in the basement, the blood water within churned and gave off a sweet, metallic scent.

“I don’t have Spirit Spring Water, but 1 have more than enough bloody water!” With resolve, Song Jian began to water the tree spirit sapling with the blood from the Blood Pool.

System: You’re using an unknown type of water to water the tree spirit sapling; the sapling has a high chance of mutating, which cannot be controlled! Repeated, this mutation cannot be controlled, this mutation cannot be controlled!

So what, as if a bit of sapling could overturn the heavens? I’ve chopped down who knows how many tree spirits, what have 1 got to be afraid of?

Song Jian snorted coldly, as the blood from the Blood Pool surged towards the tree spirit sapling.

Growl-

The human-like face on the tree spirit’s trunk seemed to be in great pain, continuously twisting. The black patterns on the tree spirit’s surface gradually turned into a dark red, looking very eerie.

A long crack appeared on its trunk which seemed to howl, and fang-like protrusions slowly started to poke through it. A human face emerged on the main part of the tree; its eyes slowly opened, revealing a bloodthirsty madness.

“I have awoken!” the tree spirit roared, with all its branches flailing wildly. A chilling atmosphere filled the air.
