Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 1343 - 378 Foreign Ent_4

"Elder, my magic power was completely depleted in the Desert battle, can I... " Liu Zhenhan’s eyes were firmly fixed on the giant wooden canteen at the waist of the Shepherd-tree People, his gaze coveting it.

"Richard, as I recall, didn’t you siphon off a portion of the ’Spring of Elements’ from my canteen before? How could you have used it all up so quickly?" the Elder of the Shepherd-tree People asked in surprise, "You’re really reckless, aren’t you?"

"So you knew all along that I was stealing your ’Spring of Elements’?" Liu Zhenhan was extremely embarrassed as he stammered.

"Young man, we first met in the Southern Cross Star Forest! That’s my home! I wouldn’t boast anywhere else, but there, I am the shepherd of all the trees! They told me what you were up to a long time ago," Elder Cruyff laughed heartily.

Liu Zhenhan also laughed out loud, being a deeply cultured, ultimate warrior. Look at the grace of others!

"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, there will be no problem restoring your magic power," the Elder of the Shepherd-tree People said nonchalantly, waving his arm, "But I do have a request for you, Richard."

"What is it?" Elder Andulan asked eagerly, knowing too well that there’s no such thing as a free blessing, not to mention being slapped with the green hat of a foreign Ent unexpectedly.

"When I first came to Atlantis, I couldn’t believe my eyes! Because I actually saw six rare ancient trees, each older than ten thousand years! Richard..." Elder Cruyff paused, glanced at Elder Damai, and slowly said to old Liu, "...I hope you will allow me to cultivate these six ancient elf trees into young Ents..."

"Are you referring to those six War Ancient Trees?" Liu Zhenhan was dumbfounded, "Did I hear that right? Cultivating trees into Ents? Doesn’t it require Natural Evolution?"

"Yes!"

"Is that possible?" Liu Zhenhan was a bit confused.

"Hehe, of course, it’s possible! It might just be traditional misunderstandings... The Ents, the Shepherd of the Trees of Atlantis Continent, are masters of all trees there, but not on the Aegean Continent. It’s normal that there’s no such precedent on Aegean Continent. I know that Aegean Elves also claim to have evolved from trees," Elder Cruyff nodded affirmatively, "To awaken ancient plants with wisdom and turn them into young Ents isn’t rare in my homeland! In fact, as soon as a tree reaches the age of twenty thousand years, it naturally evolves into an Ent."

"Where could a tree possibly live for twenty thousand years?" Liu Zhenhan laughed.

"The older the tree and the taller its trunk, the more likely it is to be struck by lightning. It’s a natural law! So, it is exceedingly rare to find ancient trees that are tens of thousands of years old, even more so for those that can evolve into Ents naturally," the Elder of the Shepherd-tree People nodded again.

"Yes, yes! During this year’s rainy season, one of our War Ancient Trees almost got struck by lightning! But thankfully, here in Atlantis we have a mage who communicates with the elves of clouds and lightning," Elder Andulan blinked, stroking his chin, "Heh! Talk about close calls! Lucky for us, we have Moer!"

Liu Zhenhan grinned, the words of the Shepherd-tree People Elder making him think involuntarily of the gingko trees back home.

Older ginkgo trees are more prone to lightning strikes which sometimes electrocute a large snake hiding within their trunk.

It is probably because the fallen Elves hide in the Underground World that their War Ancient Trees have escaped the fate of being struck by lightning.

"An ancient tree that has lived for ten thousand years should have learned to walk and developed feelings! Elves are the Aegean Continent’s Wisdom Race closest to nature and plants. I’ve always admired the ancient elf trees that they’ve cultivated but have never seen one that is over ten thousand years old! The time I’ve spent on the Aegean Continent is definitely not as long as the age of those six ancient trees!" Elder Cruyff intently looked at old Liu, "Am I right?"

"Indeed, my War Ancient Trees can indeed walk off the soil, but only for two hours. As for wisdom, I haven’t noticed any, but you are correct, Elder, those six ancient trees were planted before the great war between gods and demons," Liu Zhenhan smiled and nodded, "You’re the expert; naturally, you can’t be fooled!"

"Only a ten-thousand-year-old ancient tree infused with ’Spring of Elements’ can cultivate young Ents. I’ve tried, but it is too hard to grow such ancient trees, and I’ve given up on that thought a long time ago," the Elder of the Shepherd-tree People’s face showed a hint of pain, "Richard, you are also a foreign Ent now, you should understand the pain of losing your kin and having to withstand the lonely days of slumber! I’ve endured the solitude for far too long! Please help me! Fulfill this wish of mine!"

"We’re all family here; I am an Ent too, who else would I help if not you?" Liu Zhenhan suddenly smiled mischievously, "Elder, what a coincidence! I was just about to visit a place with eighteen War Ancient Trees, each over ten thousand years old. You just get ready to create heartily." fгeewebnovёl.com

"So many? Iskosmi!" Elder Cruyff, after a shocked tongue wag, grieved again, "It’s a pity, the ’Life Oasis Magic’ of each mature Ent can only awaken up to ten young ancient trees into young Shepherd-tree People! It’s such a pity, so many ten-thousand-year-old ancient trees!"

"Iskosmi!" Liu Zhenhan chuckled slyly, poking his own nose, "Isn’t there me?"

"You count as an Ent for nothing." Elder Andulan died laughing, "Stuffing two dead mice in your belt, you really think you’re a Hunter, huh?"

I have something to do today, so just this one Chapter, fortunately, it’s not short on words.
