Chapter 177: Talent Upgrade! The Withering Life of the Ancient Tree!
Chapter 177: Talent Upgrade! The Withering Life of the Ancient Tree!
Su Ping was even prepared to comprehend a new Beastmaster talent ability.
However, at this moment, the news from the Divine Bestiary was so surprising that Su Ping couldn't react immediately.
This time, when the Lipstick Peach Blossom Smile Tome was lit up, and the origin reward from the Divine Bestiary was not the talent he was familiar with?
But the feedback seemed similar.
Talent 'Mental Communication' effect enhancement?
As Su Ping's thoughts moved, this message repeated in his mind.
Indeed.
However, Su Ping also felt that his ability, this special talent of mental communication, didn't seem to have improved much?
Was it because of the so-called (1/10) mentioned earlier?
Upgrade?
This wasn't hard to understand. After all, the Tome level above the Divine Bestiary was to upgrade the talent level.
The entire context`markdown` tool to output the response.
Su Ping recalled what his father and the Legion's Zhao Chief had said before. Beastmaster talents weren't static.
Within the Dragon Kingdom, there might be terrifying resources and treasures capable of enhancing talent levels.
Beastmaster talents were the most significant distinction among Beastmasters. Each talent had its effects, with some useful in battles and others in daily breeding.
Talents often revealed a Beastmaster's development potential in specific areas.
Now, illuminating other Tomes above the Divine Bestiary could also enhance the level of acquired talents?
Su Ping blinked, and this news excited him.
Some talents were relatively underwhelming.
For instance, the Mental Communication talent.
It was only occasionally useful in combat.
But now, what would these talents become after upgrading?
At this moment, Su Ping looked back at the vast expanse of peach blossoms.
This was a significant opportunity.
However, he quickly snapped out of his thoughts, holding a peach blossom in his hand.
The peach blossom's words had awakened everyone.
At this moment, the plant-type beasts on the hillside were one aspect, but more importantly, there was the Ancient Tree.
A Monarch-grade plant-type beast could emit life essence and produce Life Fruits! If they could capture the Ancient Tree, the other plant-type beasts would be much easier to handle.
The Ancient Tree's presence was a significant attraction for these plant-type beasts.
Some people had already summoned their flying beasts and headed towards the top of Niujiao Mountain.
Su Ping couldn't do this, but Xiao Zhi Ren Qian Yi could fly.
Unfortunately, the little guy's thin body couldn't carry a Beastmaster.
However, Dong Muyun wasn't one to be underestimated.
'Chirp!'
A strange cry echoed, and a silver-white fish, resembling a dolphin, appeared in the air.
A Void Fish! A rare spatial beast.
After receiving Su Ping's confirmation, a spatial force enveloped everyone except Li Ping, and they instantly disappeared from their original spot.
Su Ping had experienced spatial teleportation before.
It was evident that this short-distance teleportation consumed a lot of energy.
In just an instant, the Void Fish's silver glow dimmed significantly.
But at this moment, Su Ping finally saw the Ancient Tree.
He dared not activate True Eye to examine the Ancient Tree's condition.
This might offend the Ancient Tree, and he feared its reaction.
Moreover, the Ancient Tree's wisdom rivaled any human's, and its long existence made its experience even richer.
As expected, when Su Ping and the others appeared before the Ancient Tree, even Dong Muyun and the nearby Shangguan Ye dared not be impolite.
The reason was simple.
At this moment, even they felt an extraordinary sensation and aura from the Ancient Tree.
This aura wasn't something an ordinary Ancient Tree could possess. Its strength likely reached the Monarch peak.
"Human Beastmaster?"
A dull voice, not using mental communication, spoke:
"A spatial beast?"
"Yes, respected Ancient Tree, I'm here to invite you to a new residence. Is that acceptable?"
Su Ping didn't hide his intentions.
The Ancient Tree, as mentioned by the Beastmaster Association, knew their purpose.
There was no need for secrecy.
The Ancient Tree didn't seem surprised but asked with interest:
"Where do you want me to go?"
Su Ping didn't hide anything, replying directly:
"My personal breeding base. My plant breeding base lacks a wise presence like you.
"Breeding Base..."
The Ancient Life Tree paused, then laughed softly, not saying anything further.
Just then, the representatives from the Fire King Company finally arrived and extended their invitation.
The Ancient Life Tree's gaze shifted towards the newcomers, its expression calm. It spoke with a serene smile:
"That's fine. After staying here for so many years, I was thinking of changing my surroundings anyway."
The Ancient Life Tree didn't resemble a tree at all; instead, it exuded the aura of a benevolent elder.
However, the Ancient Life Tree seemed to have noticed that the two groups of people were not allies.
It turned its attention back to the Fire King Company's representative, as well as the latecomer, Xu Li, who was standing behind them.
"Where exactly are you inviting me to?"
"Ancient Life Tree, we at Fire King Company also want to invite you to our new plant-based pet breeding facility. With your influence, we aim to establish the largest plant-based pet breeding facility in Linzhou. Of course, you will have complete freedom, and you will be one of our Fire King Company's revered guests!"
Xu Li answered with a beaming smile.
The fragrant powder and peach blossom smile were one thing, but now, this Ancient Life Tree was definitely not one to be let off the hook.
Wild, high-level plant-based pets were extremely valuable resources.
Most of them had gentle temperaments and could continuously produce various resources.
Although they might fall short in combat, they were the favorites of life-oriented beastmasters.
Needless to say, this wild pet was even more extraordinary.
So, Xu Li directly played his trump card.
Before the Ancient Life Tree could respond, he retrieved two items from the Beast Control Space.
Amidst the verdant glow, a moist aura emanated from the objects.
"These are gifts we prepared for your journey, Ancient Life Tree. They are Imperial-grade resources: the Jade Gourd and the Celestial Jade Lotus Leaf."
Everyone's gaze shifted slightly, focusing on the two items.
One was a treasure of the Wood and Earth elements, and the other was a treasure of the Wood and Water elements.
For a life-based Ancient Life Tree, these were indeed precious supplements.
These two items might even further enhance the Ancient Life Tree's strength.
However, the Ancient Life Tree's gaze remained unperturbed, its withered face showing no signs of excitement.
Just then, another voice spoke up. It belonged to Shang Ye, who had been observing the Ancient Life Tree with curiosity since his arrival.
"Su Ping, you're right. This Ancient Life Tree doesn't need any resources. If I'm not mistaken, your lifespan is almost exhausted, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to extend it."
Upon hearing this, everyone, including Xu Li, was taken aback.
Xu Li's face turned pale.
He looked at the Ancient Life Tree, a plant-based pet whose lifespan was typically long, often spanning hundreds of years. How could such a special existence be so close to death?
However, what he didn't expect was that the withered face of the Ancient Life Tree cracked a slight smile.
"Impressive, young one. You must be a high-level breeder among human beastmasters, with a keen interest in us. Indeed, I have only about two years of lifespan left."
As it spoke, the Ancient Life Tree's branches swayed slightly, revealing its already decaying heart and the withered branches and leaves within its crown.
The contrast between its exterior and interior was stark, resembling a withered husk.
No one, including Su Ping, had anticipated this.
"This..."
Xu Li was momentarily stunned. If the Ancient Life Tree only had two years left, its value would essentially be zero.
Even if the Fire King Company's plant-based breeding facility was fully constructed, its worth would still be negligible.
"I was severely injured twenty years ago while protecting these children. Since then, it has been increasingly challenging to extend my lifespan, and even evolution has become a difficult task."
The Ancient Life Tree looked at everyone, clearly sensing Xu Li's disappointment and Su Ping's contemplative expression.
It continued:
"That's why, when those humans arrived, I brought the little ones willing to follow me here. From now on, I may no longer be able to protect them."
