Chapter 450: Shennong Ginseng Evolution

The information was quickly fed back to the Shennong Ginseng.

"Mother-fucking bastards."

"To think you dare to disobey me; watch me beat you all to death!"

The Shennong Ginseng's body inflated as if it were being blown up like a balloon.

It transformed into the form of the Six-Armed God Zha.

"I'm off."

The Shennong Ginseng used Earth Escape directly and entered beneath the ground.

A bottomless hole split open in the ground.

Just as the mighty army of Mandara Grass continued to advance, a huge black shadow fell heavily onto the ground.

The ground emitted a loud "Boom" sound.

"So it's you bunch of losers who want to be disobedient, huh."

"Disobedience means you're going to get your butts spanked."

"I am your god!"

The Shennong Ginseng roared in a fit of rage.

When Muyue Ri saw the Shennong Ginseng, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"To think there is a Shennong Ginseng here; this is a rare treasure that one might not encounter in a hundred years."

"Shennong Ginseng."

"If I catch it and refine it into medicine, I reckon my Tree Dragon will soon be able to evolve into a Tree Dragon King."

Muyue Ri raised his staff and stomped it heavily against the ground.

Endless trees emerged from underground, forming a Tree Dragon covered in many vines, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

The Tree Dragon's huge eyes stared fixedly at the Shennong Ginseng.

Dark brown wooden scales were knotted and coiled all over its body like the roots of a thousand-year-old tree, the bark shaped like dragon scales, and its body was covered with a layer of green moss.

Amber vertical pupils were embedded in deep brown, wood-grained eye sockets, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

The dragon horns covering its forehead were thick and emitted a faint scent of pine.

Its four claws were formed by Root Entanglement, appearing quite sharp.

It coiled in the air, emitting bursts of dragon roars.

【Evolution Route 1: None yet】

【Evaluation: This is a Tree Dragon carefully cultivated by Muyue Ri; once it evolves, it will become a powerful Tree Dragon King.】

Watching the Tree Dragon look down at it from above, a look of disdain appeared in its eyes.

The Shennong Ginseng broke out in a cold sweat; this guy looked fierce and menacing at first glance.

Can't afford to provoke it, really can't afford to provoke it.

If it provoked it, its own little life might not be guaranteed.

Better take this opportunity to hurry up and slip away.

Sorry, I was the one who spoke a bit too loudly just now.

Just as the Shennong Ginseng was about to Depart, vines emerged from the ground, wrapping around the Shennong Ginseng like pythons and binding it tightly.

The Shennong Ginseng felt as if it had been wrapped up by a belt, squeezed so tightly that it could barely breathe.

Damn it, I was already planning to run away, why are you squeezing me so tight!

Don't touch me, don't touch me!

The somewhat annoyed Shennong Ginseng suddenly flew into a rage.

Originally, I didn't want to lower myself to your level, but this is my home turf.

In a place where so many Mandara Grass exist, I am the king!

"Little ones, get him! Take him down!"

After being intimidated by the Shennong Ginseng, the Mandara Grass began to turn their heads one after another and crawled toward the Tree Dragon.

Some Mandara Grass even opened their mouths, emitting "ying ying ying" sounds.

They used their sharp teeth to gnaw away the vines wrapped around the Shennong Ginseng.

Finally free, the Shennong Ginseng breathed a sigh of relief.

That was close, almost got tangled up by this filthy thing.

My own tribe is more reliable after all.

After finishing off this thing, I must step over a brazier to cleanse the bad luck.

The Shennong Ginseng knows its own value; to a Pet Beast with the wood attribute, it is a great tonic.

"I had forgotten, as the evolved form of the Mandragora King, the Shennong Ginseng possesses supreme authority over Mandragoras."

"Even if I control the entire Mandragora tribe, as long as the Shennong Ginseng is present, the Mandragoras will instantly change their stance."

"Because to the Mandragoras, the Shennong Ginseng is their god!"

"A bunch of turncoats!"

"Since that is the case, you may as well destroy yourselves."

"If you cannot be used by me, then don't stay here and waste my resources."

"Anyway, I raised you to refine medicine, so go to the afterlife."

Muyuori raised the Scepter again and stomped it heavily onto the ground.

At this moment, all the Mandragoras stopped moving.

Their eyes squeezed together, and their heads began an Expansion, as if something was growing out from inside their heads.

Sharp, piercing shrieks were emitted from their mouths, but the Shennong Ginseng was completely unaffected.

Their heads were forcibly pried open, and subsequently, countless tree roots emerged from the tops of their heads.

The tops of the Mandragoras' heads had actually turned into small saplings, which were continuously draining life energy from the Mandragoras' bodies.

The crystal-clear life energy converged into life essence the size of pearls.

A large amount of life essence fell from the leaves and irrigated the Tree Dragon.

The roots and stems on the Tree Dragon's body seemed to come alive, and its body was covered in a layer of emerald green leaves.

The Tree Dragon gradually bloomed with colorful, vibrant flowers, looking very imposing.

"Do you see that?" Muyuori stroked his beard, which looked like tree roots.

"I want you to live, you live; I want you to die, you die."

"Your lives are entirely in my hands."

"Since you cannot be used by me, you might as well become flower fertilizer. Look, how beautiful the Tree Dragon is."

"Not only can it be used for battle, but it can also be used as a potted plant."

"Tree Dragon, you are only one step away from evolving into a Tree Dragon King."

"The nectar I gave you has also come in handy."

The Mandragoras being drained of their life essence in front of the Shennong Ginseng completely enraged the Shennong Ginseng.

The Shennong Ginseng felt a buzz in its head, as if something had cracked open.

He, who was originally timid and cautious, opened his scarlet eyes.

"Hmph, originally I didn't want to provoke you."

"But you slaughtered my clansmen right in front of me; that is where you are wrong!"

The Shennong Ginseng transformed once again into the form of the Six-Armed Shentuo.

"Oh my, this Shennong Ginseng actually wants to resist. Interesting, truly very interesting."

"It's just a Pet Beast used by others to refine great medicine; what does it have to fight my Tree Dragon with?"

"It would be better to just surrender obediently."

"Looking all burly and tough, but actually a spineless coward; it really cracks me up."

Muyuori seemed to have found a fun toy; he stroked his beard while picking up his cane and tapping it heavily on the ground.

With a 'thud', the Tree Dragon instantly transformed into countless tree roots that shot out violently.

Looking at it, it seemed to want to pierce through the Shennong Ginseng's body to teach the Shennong Ginseng a big lesson.

Who would have thought that the hard-as-iron tree roots, upon touching the Shennong Ginseng's body, would be deflected one after another.

"Hmph, I knew from the start that if I didn't work hard, I would be refined into great medicine by others."

"So every day I whipped myself, knowing I must grow, so that I wouldn't become a burden."

"Originally I didn't want to fight in this form, but I cannot watch my clansmen be killed while I remain indifferent."

"I had been hiding behind my companions before, but now I must stand up firmly."

"My Shennong Ginseng clan is not to be insulted!"

"As the god of the Mandragoras, I will naturally seek justice for these countless wronged Mandragora souls!"

The Shennong Ginseng's thick, sturdy hand gripped the roots and stems that the Tree Dragon had turned into.

He pulled with a sudden force, and a large amount of milky white liquid dripped from the torn roots and stems.

"Refreshing, I've long wanted to fight in this way."

Muyuori felt provoked by the Shennong Ginseng.

The tree roots coiled together, forming the shape of the Tree Dragon once again.

"A mere Pet Beast, daring to provoke me right in front of my face!"

"How truly bold!"

"Watch me tear you to shreds."

"Originally I wanted to use you as great medicine and keep your body intact so that the medicinal properties could be better unleashed."

"But I've changed my mind now; I'm going to tear you into ten thousand pieces."

"You lowly mongrel!"

The Tree Dragon extended its sharp Dragon Claw and slashed heavily toward the location of the Shennong Ginseng, emitting a whistling sound.

Ye Bai learned of the Shennong Ginseng's current predicament through the Sunflower Fairy.

The Sunflower Fairy flew in circles in the air, distracted, suppressing the urge to help the Shennong Ginseng several times.

Although it looked down on Shennong Ginseng, Shennong Ginseng was its little brother, and only it was allowed to bully it.

Anyone else who bullied Shennong Ginseng would be written down in the little notebook of the Sunflower Fairy!

"Rest assured, Sunflower Fairy, Shennong Ginseng can still hold on for a while; we need to force out Shennong Ginseng's potential."

"If there is a problem, the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican will take action, so you can rest easy."

The Sunflower Fairy nodded obediently and cutely.

The Tree Dragon's Lijua slashed across Shennong Ginseng's body, and golden liquid was seeping out from the wound.

While sucking in cold breaths, it endured the pain, passively suffering the Tree Dragon's Lijua attacks.

"Tsk tsk, so weak, and I even took you as a hypothetical enemy."

"With your physique, you don't even qualify to be a practice target for the Tree Dragon."

Muyue Ri commanded the Tree Dragon to attack Shennong Ginseng repeatedly, and before long, all four of Shennong Ginseng's arms were dismantled by the Tree Dragon.

The Tree Dragon opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and began to chew greedily.

"It really is a great tonic; the Tree Dragon has only eaten four of your arms and is already faintly reaching the stage of evolution."

"If it devours all of you, will it break through to the seventh rank?"

"I am truly looking forward to it; among the Pet Beast in my hands, only the Tree Dragon has yet to reach the seventh rank."

Muyue Ri looked expectant.

Just at this moment, the Tree Dragon collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.

Pus began to flow from its entire body.

"How can this be? The Tree Dragon is clearly an existence immune to all poisons; how could the Pet Beast I painstakingly cultivated fall into a poisoned state?"

Muyue Ri found it completely incomprehensible.

"Hahaha, I am Shennong Ginseng, the god of Mandragora, and I possess the power to contend with you."

"The Life Essence of Mandragora, when it touches my body fluids, turns into a complex toxin."

"This toxin is highly contagious."

"Once touched, one will be infected and die with the whole body festering."

"Old man, if you want to play with me, your cultivation is still lacking."

Shennong Ginseng said while enduring the pain, its Genjing Chansheng wrapped around the Tree Dragon's body, piercing deep into its interior.

It wanted to devour the Tree Dragon alive and incorporate the Life Essence of Mandragora into its own body.

"Little ones, although I have only been in contact with you for a few short seconds, I am honored that you are Mandragora; I am proud of you!"

Shennong Ginseng's body then emitted a strong, milky-white light.

Its body began to Expansion.

Shennong Ginseng had a feeling of water and milk blending together; it was about to evolve.

"Hmph, to absorb such a rare Tree Dragon, you have a lot of nerve!"

"If I don't deal with you, my name isn't Muyue Ri."

Muyue Ri's cane transformed into a golden towering tree.

Countless tree roots submerged into the ground, traveling rapidly underground.

"Hmph, Muyue Ri, I have long been waiting for you to pull such a move."

"Heaven-Swallowing Pelican, Space Rift."

A large number of Space Rifts were created by the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican.

The tree roots were directly sucked into the Scissors Hell by the rifts.

Here, a large number of Hell Scissors pounced forward like hungry wolves.

The entire Hell emitted a clacking sound.

At this moment, Shennong Ginseng transformed into a plump, white ginseng doll.

There was a string of red tassels on its head, looking exceptionally cute.

As Shennong Ginseng advanced to the seventh rank, it also awakened the Hundred Herbs Domain.

It could take excellent care of various medicinal herbs.

This could be considered an unexpected gain.
