Chapter 140: Life Source and Thorn Rice

Aside from the changes in attributes, there was another change: the addition of a special ability.

【Special Ability: Demon Flame, Source of Life】

Source of Life: Increases HP by 50%, recovery by 20%, healing effects by 20%, and the effectiveness of skills related to vitality by 20%!

"As expected of a special ability from the Thorn Mother Tree!"

After seeing the description of Source of Life, Qin Luo couldn't help but exclaim. With this Source of Life, Qin Luo's HP increased by half, along with improvements in other areas.

With his current Constitution reaching 196, an additional 50% HP and 20% recovery effect meant that even enemies of the same tier would not find it easy to kill Qin Luo!

This is simply a tank and a blood cow!

After sighing with emotion, Qin Luo looked at the Earth Dragon Heart.

Although there were four Earth Dragon Hearts, the effect could only be triggered by one at most.

Crack!

Qin Luo took a bite of the Earth Dragon Heart; it was hard and had no taste, just like eating a stone.

This Earth Dragon Heart increased Qin Luo's Strength from 184 to 186 and his Constitution from 196 to 199, nearly breaking through the 200 mark. Clearly, this was also a threshold that was not easily broken!

Overall, the Earth Dragon Heart gave Qin Luo five attribute points, which was quite good.

It was just a pity that he didn't obtain the special ability or skills of the Thorn Earth Dragon!

As for the two Life Source Crystals, they allowed Qin Luo to obtain the special ability "Source of Life"!

Of course, "Source of Life" is indeed good, but if he could choose, Qin Luo would rather have the Thorn Mother Tree's talent "Infinite Devour," which could absorb and quickly digest the energy of other creatures or metallic elemental energy.

This was somewhat similar to one of the effects of his talent, Devour Evolution.

However, the Devour Evolution effect was for Undead units and had no effect on Qin Luo himself.

Qin Luo continued to look down.

2 Thorn Source Tree seeds!

200 Thorn Demon Fruits!

Thorn Source Tree seeds are a type of plant with extremely tenacious vitality that can survive in extremely harsh environments. They can absorb various energies between heaven and earth, including but not limited to stones, yellow soil, biological corpses, and various metallic elements, and grow rapidly!

In the Barren Land, ordinary plants find it very difficult to survive.

Only special plants like the Thorn Source Tree could survive, and they could even thrive.

Because this Barren Land is filled with various rich metal ores everywhere, it is simply a paradise for the Thorn Source Tree.

In such an environment, the growth speed must be astonishingly fast.

It was just that the Thorn Mother Tree was controlled by the female Thorn Earth Dragon leader, which suppressed its growth speed instead.

Otherwise, the Thorn Mother Tree encountered tonight would likely not just be Bronze Three-Star; it could have been Silver Realm, or even Gold Realm was not impossible.

Thorn Demon Fruits are the fruits borne after the Thorn Source Tree matures. They have the effect of quenching thirst and satisfying hunger, contain a small amount of life energy, and have a certain chance to grant 1 random attribute point upon consumption. The attributes obtained through Thorn Demon Fruits are capped at ten points; after reaching ten points, continuing to consume them will no longer increase attribute values.

"This can also be considered a good thing!"

In Qin Luo's hand appeared a fruit the size of an apple, with a pale yellow skin and a shape somewhat resembling a baby's face.

Qin Luo ate it directly and immediately felt a sweet and delicious taste. It was very tasty, even better than any fruit he had eaten before, making one want to eat more after the first bite.

By the time Qin Luo had eaten twenty-five of them, he felt his stomach was full to the point of bursting.

And the attribute points he had gained were only five.

Four points in Agility, one point in Spirit!

Neither Strength nor Constitution increased; he didn't know if it was because these two attributes were already too high!

"I'll save them for tomorrow!"

Qin Luo let out a burp, truly unable to eat any more. "I wonder what the yield of this Thorn Source Tree is like. If the yield is very high, then selling Thorn Demon Fruits in the future could also earn a sum of income!"

These two Thorn Source Tree seeds must be cultivated carefully; once they grow up, they will be equivalent to behemoths like the Thorn Mother Tree.

In particular, the Thorn Source Tree can split its roots into trees, forming a thorn forest that can defend against the invasion of external enemies like a city wall!

Or they can be dispersed throughout the territory to act as sentries.

2 pieces of Bronze Grade equipment, a defensive piece of equipment named "Earth Dragon Scale Armor."

The effect is similar to "Magic Blood Scale Armor."

Qin Luo placed them directly on the shelf, priced at 15,000 Energy points each!

There were six skill books (three types, two of each)!

"Light of Life," which can be used to restore the injuries and vitality of oneself or friendly forces, belongs to the auxiliary healing skills.

"Earth Dragon Charge," which performs a violent charge against a target, causing damage multiple times one's own Strength, and can cause the target to fall into a dizzy state; the larger the body size, the stronger the effect!

"Wrath of the Earth Dragon," which enters a brief berserk state, increasing Attack by 50%, Defense by 40%, and Morale by 40%; sanity is reduced by 30%.

Qin Luo, holding the idea that having more skills is never a burden, learned all three types of skills, especially "Light of Life," which has a recovery effect and is very useful.

Due to the double rewards of the Scarlet Moon, there were two of each skill book.

Besides Qin Luo using them himself, the remaining ones could also be sold.

Earth Dragon Charge and Wrath of the Earth Dragon are priced at 1,500 Energy points!

Light of Life is a relatively rare healing skill, priced at 2,500 Energy points!

These three types of skills are all conventional skills, so their value is relatively low.

If they were Lord skills, the price would increase by at least ten times.

Finally, there were eight Bronze Grade treasure chests!

Qin Luo opened all the treasure chests and finally obtained 3,000 units of Red Iron, 1,000 units of Bronze, 300 units of Mithril, and a bag of plant seeds called "Thorn Rice"!

If nothing else, the metal resources obtained after destroying these two nests were quite substantial.

Especially Bronze, of which there were seven thousand units.

Previously, when upgrading the territory, all the Bronze was used up; now, there is finally stock again.

There was also 6,300 units of Mithril and 3,000 units of Red Iron.

60,000 Stone, 3,000 Red Iron, 7,000 Bronze, 6,300 Mithril.

Thorn Rice!

It belongs to food-type plants and is also a plant suitable for growing in extremely harsh environments. Its growth does not rely much on water and light resources; as long as the land where it grows has rich elemental energy, it can survive.

Like the Thorn Source Tree, it can absorb various energies from the earth; it absorbs whatever is there!

Simply put, it is easy to raise and has a high yield, making it especially suitable for planting in areas like the Barren Land.

However, this Thorn Rice is a pure food-type plant, and its function is to produce food.

It is not like the Thorn Source Tree, which is a special plant with combat capabilities!
