Chapter 179: Monarch Lao Sha! The Plant Bestiary's Bountiful Harvest!
Chapter 179: Monarch Lao Sha! The Plant Bestiary's Bountiful Harvest!
A brilliant ray of light shone, dazzling in its radiance.
Under the intense sunlight, everything seemed frozen in time, encircled by this radiant glow.
Su Ping stared at the scene before him, wide-eyed.
At this moment, despite being bathed in sunlight, his body didn't feel much warmth.
All the sunlight shining upon Horned Mountain seemed to be drawn away by a powerful force:
Lao Sha, in his wooden form.
During this time, Su Ping and Wood Heart had never given up on nurturing Lao Sha's Wood Heart.
Dozens of Forest Wolves had been continuously training to connect and share with Lao Sha's Wood Heart.
The Divine Bestiary's connection and sharing rules allowed for the same skills to be linked between evolutionaries of the same origin.
However, the unique skills belonging to the Thousand Wood Wolf, such as Lao Sha's, could not be enhanced by other Forest Wolves.
In addition to the shared connection, Lao Sha had also been consuming the Wood Heart potion daily as if it were food.
Simultaneously, Su Ping also tried an enhanced version of the Wood Heart potion.
This made the potion's effects even more potent.
Since the Forest Wolves could comprehend the Wood Heart skill by consuming the Wood Heart potion, it was natural that repeated consumption would enhance the skill's effects.
Therefore, over the past six months, Lao Sha's progress in this area had been continuous.
Finally, the clouds had parted, revealing the moon.
Witnessing this scene, Su Ping heaved a long sigh of relief. Although a perfect Wood Heart didn't guarantee the appearance of the Sun Formula's advanced skill, it was undoubtedly the most crucial step.
An aura of terror emanated from that figure.
Wolf King's Majesty!
This was the aura of a Monarch-level being, and now that Lao Sha had reached this level,
The Wolf King's Majesty had truly lived up to its name.
The skill of the Wolf King's Majesty was indeed not something that just anyone could possess.
Su Ping had previously deduced that Lao Sha had once experienced an unimaginable stroke of luck.
During that lucky encounter, his Sunlight Drain skill had reached perfection, breaking through his racial limits, and he had acquired the extremely unique skill, Wolf King's Majesty.
Su Ping hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now that Lao Sha had advanced to the Monarch rank, the Wolf King's Majesty was finally unleashed in its entirety.
Beside him, the Spirit Wolf, Sanha, whimpered softly, as if paying homage to their king.
At the same time, countless Plant-type beasts in the vicinity, after witnessing this peculiar Wolf King's advancement, felt the surging vitality emanating from him.
They were drawn to him as if he were one of their own, instinctively wanting to get closer.
About ten minutes passed.
Lao Sha reopened his eyes, having returned to his beastly form.
The light gradually faded, and Lao Sha, who reappeared before them, didn't seem to have changed much.
Perhaps his Y-shaped horns had become greener, and the foliage on his body was denser.
But Su Ping could see that at this moment, through the feedback from True Eye, the solid Monarch rank confirmed that he had succeeded.
This Forest Wolf, who had been a 1st-rank Overlord just six months ago, had undergone the most magnificent transformation within this short period.
In just half a year, he had reached the Monarch rank!
The difference between the Overlord and Monarch ranks was like heaven and earth.
This was evident in the difficulty of advancing from Overlord to Monarch for Beastmasters.
While pets had the ability to evolve, it was usually manageable.
But it wasn't something that happened casually.
However, Su Ping hadn't expected that Lao Sha would 'casually' complete his advancement.
The gap between levels was immense.
Finally, he had a Monarch-level fighter of his own, belonging to Wood Heart! Although his connections and status in Linzhou might deter most troublemakers, nothing was as trustworthy as solid, tangible strength in this era of extraordinary Beastmasters.
Indeed, good deeds were rewarded.
Although Su Ping knew that this was Lao Sha's own accumulation and that he had trained to a critical point,
Without this opportunity, it might have taken longer.
At this moment, Su Ping didn't have the leisure to continue observing the Life Ancient Tree; all his attention was focused on Lao Sha.
The sunlight returned to normal.
Old Sha did not continue to absorb sunlight and convert it into the energy of the Wood Heart, transmitting it to the Life Ancient Tree.
Su Ping could see that there was nothing unusual about Old Sha at the moment, but he wasn't in a hurry. This wasn't the time or place for research.
Su Ping exhaled slightly.
Moreover, when Er Zhuang had unleashed that terrifying power, in addition to the three skills being at the same level, there was also a condition that Old Sha lacked.
That was the possession of the 'Blinding Technique' skill.
This skill was the means by which the Thousand Wood Wolf absorbed and utilized sunlight.
It was also proof of initial mastery over the power of sunlight.
As a racial skill of the Thousand Wood Wolf, mastering this skill wasn't difficult.
Even during self-growth and advancement, they could acquire it, but Su Ping couldn't wait any longer.
He was no longer a novice in pet beast cultivation.
He already had his own insights into pet beast cultivation.
Mastering such skills was part of the Thousand Wood Wolf's racial skill acquisition, and corresponding resources could be used to accelerate growth.
As for the Blinding Technique, it was a release of sunlight energy. Once the sunlight energy was supplemented to a certain extent, it would naturally lead to enlightenment.
Thinking of this, Su Ping obviously didn't want to stay there any longer. At this moment, he turned to Dong Muchun beside him and said, "After we go back, prepare a large amount of Sunlight Spring Water for me."
Sun Crystals, he still had some in his possession, obtained by 'shearing the sheep' from the Legion. The Breeder Association had also given him two more, so he indeed had no shortage of them.
Dong Muchun looked at him with a hint of surprise, but she didn't ask anything.
At this moment, Su Ping represented the miracle itself.
Not only him, but everyone around him, and even the Life Ancient Tree itself, would never have imagined that it would have a chance to regain vitality one day.
Even though this vitality was only slightly extended.
But it was the release of the other party's skill.
Not a precious resource.
If possible, would there really be a chance to continue living? Even ants crave life, and being at peace with death doesn't mean one wants to die.
If there was a chance to continue living, what creature wouldn't want to die without reason?
Undoubtedly, the Life Ancient Tree was the same. It silently watched the old wolf still experiencing the surge of power and the beastmaster with his head lowered, deep in thought. The human face on the bark finally spoke, "Little guy, what kind of pet beast is this?"
Su Ping finally came back to his senses, lifted his head, and smiled, "Thousand Wood Wolf, Wood Heart... one of the family members of my breeding base."
"Family..."
The old tree chewed on these two words, then smiled slightly, "Little guy, can I go and see your home? If you don't mind, the old tree's lifespan is not much longer."
Su Ping smiled, "Of course, rest assured, with me here, I will never let you die so easily."
Previously, the old tree didn't really believe these words. It knew its situation better than anyone.
Whether it could continue living, it wasn't sure itself.
But it had to be said, this bizarre tree wolf was incredibly strange.
The beastmaster who bred such an extraordinary pet beast was even more extraordinary.
Just as the old tree had marveled before, only under the cultivation of human beastmasters would these bizarre and wondrous pet beasts with various magical qualities come into existence.
So, it was willing to believe this little guy.
Xu Li and the others nearby had complex expressions.
This time, they were truly convinced.
They couldn't help but think that they wanted to make such a promise, and they also wanted to take this old Life Ancient Tree away.
If they could take it away, not to mention the numerous low-level, mass-produced plant-type pet beasts, but also these precious and rare plant-type pet beasts around it, there would be no problem at all.
If they could bring them all back to the Huowang Company, it would be an unimaginable fortune."
But where could they make such a promise?
When Xu Li was fishing earlier and trying to find out more, he had heard some things about the Wood Heart and the young owner's background and mysterious abilities.
But he had never seen it with his own eyes.
And now, he finally had.
No wonder such a young person could be so highly regarded by Queen Dong and the two presidents, Qin and Liu.
Impressive indeed.
However, their Huowang Company and Xu Li himself had little connection with this young guy. If they could befriend him, it would be a hundred benefits without a single harm.
Out of the blue, Xu Li's mind suddenly lit up.
He vaguely recalled someone in the company mentioning a student who came to intern at Huo Wang this year. It seemed like this person was a classmate of the young errand boy who came along with them.
Could he use this connection to subtly build a relationship?
As Xu Li was still pondering this, he noticed that the Life Ancient Tree had agreed to relocate to Su Ping's pet beast base, and the remaining plant-type beasts had gathered around again.
They started asking questions in a flurry of voices:
【Huala (Grandpa Tree, how are you doing?)】
【Dududu (Life Ancient Tree Lord, your vitality...)】
【...】
Su Ping also looked at the Life Ancient Tree, and he could see it too.
The Life Ancient Tree's problem remained unresolved.
The rotten roots within its body still showed no signs of improvement.
However, the withered yellow branches in its crown had recovered significantly.
Although it was still a temporary solution, the vitality had been nourished, allowing it to extend its lifespan for a while.
Indeed, the Life Ancient Tree smiled faintly:
"Thank you to the human beastmaster's pet beast. It can probably live for about five more months."
Living for half a year more was indeed not much.
But it was worth noting that this was just one treatment from Lao Sha.
Upon hearing this, the other plant-type beasts couldn't help but look at Su Ping.
Zhi Fen Taohua Xiao spoke up:
"Huala (Yes... He... He... His name is Su Ping, as far as I know, Peach Lady...)"
It was quite evident.
Previously, on the hillside, Su Ping had won over Peach Lady's 'heart,' and the other plant-type beasts had witnessed it.
Now, as Su Ping was able to help their Life Ancient Tree Lord with another treatment, there was no doubt that at this moment, all the rare plant-type beasts with prominent intelligence looked at Su Ping with a different gaze.
Then, as expected, the closest Changshou Banyan's huge branches and leaves covered him, and its rustling voice sounded:
"Huala (Human, you can help the Life Ancient Tree Lord, and if the Life Ancient Tree Lord is willing to leave with you, I'm also willing to go with you.)"
Changshou Banyan's statement was not surprising to anyone, and it was entirely within everyone's expectations.
However, what was surprising was the Life Ancient Tree Lord's appeal, which was beyond everyone's expectations. After Changshou Banyan, the towering Spear Pine King, whose body stood tall and reached the clouds, also spoke:
"Huala (I will always follow the Life Ancient Tree Lord...)"
"Dududu (Wherever the Life Ancient Tree Lord goes, I will go, human beastmaster, thank you...)"
"..."
"Huala (That's right! Peach Lady... saw at a glance that Su Ping, was able to help the Life Ancient Tree Lord, so... so he should go!)"
Among the voices, Zhi Fen Taohua Xiao added her reason for surrendering early.
Su Ping chuckled and didn't mind.
However, what happened next couldn't help but draw his attention.
At this moment, his recently quiet Divine Bestiary opened up rapidly from his soul once again.
Indeed, it was incredibly fast! One by one, the bestiary entries appeared in Su Ping's heart.
If the previous lit-up entries were like single draws, this time, it was like a ten-card draw!
The entries in the depths of his soul were overwhelming.
【Bestiary 'Changshou Banyan' lit up, current level: 1, obtain the original reward: Talent 'Mind Communication' effect increased (2/10)!】
【Bestiary 'Spear Pine King' lit up, current level: 1, obtain the original reward: Talent 'Mind Communication' effect increased
