Chapter 6: Chapter 6: New Subordinates. Connecting to the River
Editor: Simple MTL
Staring at the skill, Heart of Water, Su Yuande calculated in his heart.
As long as he could connect to a river, would he be able to control that river and increase his clones?
He was going to explore the surrounding terrain to see if there was a river that he could connect to.
Even if that river exceeded his body size and he could not control it, it could still become a source of water to replenish his.
However, Ao Lie was still too eye-catching.
It was still alright around there. There were no strong existences, but it would be hard to say if there was further away.
It was time to add new subordinates.
The sun rose and the moon set, and time passed day by day.
Su Yuande inspected the creatures in the vicinity and chose a target to capture and domesticate.
In the end, his gaze landed on a group of wild boars and a tree.
[Iron-Skinned Wild Boars ]
Level: Rank 8
Skills:
Digging l 6: Extremely good at digging holes. They could quickly open up underground tunnels, so their underground nest was very large.
Swallowing Earth to Forge Iron LVL 6: Swallowing earth, collecting the iron in the earth, and finally forging iron.
Wild boars with such strong defence were easy to feed. The most important thing was that they could quickly dig tunnels.
It was a plateau. The weather was getting hotter, and the snow on the mountains in the distance had begun to melt.
In Su Yuande's memory, in the world of his previous life, the source of the mother river was the snow water from the mountains.
The Snow Mountains in the world were even larger, and the amount of melted snow water was even greater.
The second target was a special tree.
[Phoenix Perch]
Rank: Mortal Grade 10
Skills:
Flame Protection LVL 5: The powerful wood-type energy contained within one's body can be ignited, emitting powerful flames that envelop oneself.
Talent: Fire-type Companion LVL 10: Able to attract fire-type magical beasts to become one's companion beasts. There was even a chance to attract existences that were far above one's level.
Description: A tree that was inhabited by an ancient Phoenix, emitting a powerful wood-type aura that could nourish fire-type magical beasts. As it grows, it is possible to attract phoenixes.
Su Yuande had been observing them for a long time.
The Ironhide Boar did not care about it for the time being. He was determined to get that Phoenix Perch.
He found that the Phoenix Perch was conscious.
Perhaps he could come into contact with it and use the essence of life to lure it.
Moreover, he was now in the form of the River of Life. The river water might have been able to nourish the unusual tree well.
Having made up his mind, Su Yuande began to act.
He ordered the frost mice to start expanding the waterways.
Soon, several small waterways were dug and surrounded the Phoenix Perch.
The river water immediately surrounded the area where the Phoenix Perch grew.
Sensing an abnormality, the Phoenix Perch's branches and leaves began to shake.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
The sound of the leaves rubbing against each other in the air was pleasant to hear.
Su Yuande told the frost mice to stay away to reduce their hostility.
Then, the current surged up and formed an arrow, pointing to its main direction.
He did not know whether the other party understood his meaning or not.
The swaying of the Phoenix Perch weakened. It seemed that it was puzzled.
Su Yuande activated the water current and splashed it on the soil beside the Phoenix Perch. He did not sense his hostility, so the Phoenix Perch did not respond.
Soon, the river water seeped into the soil.
It was obvious that the Phoenix Perch felt the nourishment of the river water, and it swayed excitedly.
Su Yuande's heart was half-relaxed. He condensed the water into an arrow and pointed it at his main stream again.
"Lord God, it's still a little hesitant."
The frost mouse actually saw clearly the Phoenix Perch's state and began to hint.
How did mice understand the thoughts of plants?
With such a doubt in his heart, Su Yuande increased his attraction.
Splash, splash, splash.
The sound of water splashing rang out.
A cclear drop-shaped crystal condensed out.
Seeing the life essence, Phoenix Perch was very excited.
The shaking amplitude had increased a lot.
It was effective.
Seeing this, he calculated in his mind and condensed another life essence.
This bargaining chip obviously moved Phoenix Perch.
All the branches and leaves started to sway up and down, as if they were nodding.
"Ding! Host and Phoenix Perch has resonated. Phoenix Perch recognizes master. Do you agree?"
"I agree."
With Su Yuande's approval, he formed a connection with the Phoenix Perch sword.
"Yiya, Yiya..."
The Phoenix Perch's thoughts were transmitted through the connection.
And with the establishment of the connection, he had a greater understanding of the Phoenix perch.
"So it's still a child. No wonder it was so easy to be subdued by the nest."
From his investigations, the Phoenix Perch had not taken root for long. It was estimated that it had only taken one or two years.
"To be able to grow like this so quickly, its potential is indeed extraordinary."
Sensing the Phoenix Perch's intense desire for life essence, Su Yuande gave it both drops of essence.
In an instant, the Phoenix Perch began to tremble violently.
Powerful life energy was injected into its body, and it began to grow and evolve rapidly.
The soil under the tree trunk churned, and many of the tree roots extended rapidly, turning from light yellow to dark black. The roots quickly thickened.
The tree trunk emitted a faint yellow light and grew rapidly upwards.
The Phoenix Perch's aura completely erupted.
Countless tender green branches and leaves grew from the trunk.
In a very short period of time, the entire tree had become several times larger.
Su Yuande had originally wanted it to move to his side, but now it seemed that there was no hope.
Many of the Phoenix Perch's tree roots extended to the bottom of the river.
However, as its size increased, sooner or later, the river would overflow over this land.
"Ding! The Phoenix Perch is undergoing photosynthesis, absorbing solar energy to provide energy to the host. Evolution Points + 1"
"Ding! The Phoenix Perch is undergoing photosynthesis, absorbing solar energy to provide energy to the host. Evolution Points + 1"
...
At a rather fast speed, the system's notification flashed across the interface.
This was truly a pleasant surprise. Photosynthesis absorbed solar energy, and with his connection with Phoenix, it rapidly provided evolution points.
This surprise once again opened Su Yuande's train of thought.
Since he had a special connection with plants, would enslaving a large number of plants have such an effect?
Also, since solar energy could do it, could geothermal energy also do it?
What about other energy? Electric energy? Wind energy?
While he was thinking about this, Feng Ximu gave him a second surprise.
As the roots of the tree extended, he found many deep water sources.
Even with the current abilities of the frost mice, they could not go deep into these places.
"Ding! Contact with the underground river. The size is three times larger than the host's body. Unable to use the Heart of Water."
A notification that had never appeared before appeared on the interface.
Su Yuande felt that he was connected to a huge river, and he could control the pumping of water from it.
However, he could not completely sense the entire river basin.
"Looks like it's time to continue increasing my body size. After obtaining this clone, I will be able to do even more things!"
