Chapter 2325

〖The energy of Flower-Plucking Jade-Substituting has recovered; you may continue using it. 〗

Flower-Plucking Jade-Substituting has recovered.

Checking the system again, there are no new functions restored.

It seems Flower-Plucking Jade-Substituting is not only powerful, but also recovers faster.

Truly worthy of being a hidden talent.

But for now there's no need to transfer anything.

I'll just carry out the attribute transfer later based on the actual situation.

Everything is ready; we can strike.

But at this moment, Qiyue asked, somewhat curious: "My lord, you're currently in the bloodline-enhanced state, right? Why not fuse the steel armor on your body into yourself? Wouldn't that be more convenient?"

Zhao Chi was startled.

Right, why not?

Because he had forgotten.

After all, this was Zhao Chi's first time using this bloodline enhancement in combat.

A massive number of Taoyuan Clan genes had appeared on Zhao Chi's body, and Zhao Chi had not yet fully adapted to them.

But the impact was minor.

Equipment Fusion!

The next second, the enormous steel armor on Zhao Chi's body vanished, leaving only the small, snug outfit Shangguan Ting had given him, stretched tight across his frame.

A cute-style women's outfit.

Su Qin and the others were stunned.

They all stared at Zhao Chi in astonishment.

Zhao Chi quickly switched to costume mode, and his body revealed a handsome uniform.

"Um… you three, don't be so surprised. I have no interest in women's clothing… the situation was special, that's why I wore it… we're about to fight, stay focused!"

"Yes!!"

The three of them responded in earnest.

Zhao Chi said: "Su Qin, in a moment I'll be taking Tang Ruan and Qiyue out. All my soldiers will be under your command. Among them: Wei Leng, Xia Yan, Bai Qian, and An Ning are the squad leaders of the various branch races; they're quite capable, so you can have them lead the female soldiers on missions."

Su Qin nodded: "Alright, I understand. You all must be careful."

Zhao Chi said: "Don't worry. This time there's no unknown danger. The recent battle had no losses, but it did consume spiritual power and stamina. I'm taking Tang Ruan and Qiyue with me again, so calculate based on a combat strength of around 250,000. The connected enemies are around 100,000 to 150,000, which is suitable; around 100,000 would be even safer."

Su Qin said: "Mm, I understand. I won't take risks. But Xiang Yuan and Geng Zhan's situation isn't good, and Lu Yi and Yang Xiong's squad is also facing very strong enemies. I want to go support them first."

"No problem. Finish it quickly."

"Mm, I understand."

"Tang Ruan! Qiyue!"

"Here!!"

"Follow me, we're teleporting out."

"Yes!!"

The three of them teleported instantly.

Teleporting only three people didn't consume much formation energy.

Zhao Chi actually wanted to bring some female soldiers along, but the formation energy he had obtained was very little, and he simply couldn't properly teleport too many.

If the energy was used up, things would get a bit troublesome.

Anyway, we're just going out to try; worst case, we come back.

The scene before his eyes shifted.

He appeared once again in a dim spatial rift.

The moment he arrived, rumbling thunder reached his ears.

Of course, that wasn't thunder.

It was the tremendous noise of giant creatures battling.

Although it was dim, all three of them had night vision and dynamic vision, so they could see everything clearly.

The tremendous noise came from beside them.

The Ancient Giant Tree… was still there.

The Ancient Giant Tree truly lived up to its name.

Now it was almost nothing but a thick stump, but it hadn't completely died yet…

It was just as enduring as Shangguan Ting.

The Ancient Giant Tree's original size was enormous, a full hundred meters.

After standing up, it was even taller.

But now the six massive tree-legs the giant tree had gathered together had re-rooted themselves, burrowing deep underground, continuously drawing nutrients and constantly restoring itself.

Before, its branches and trunk had been extremely lush.

But the vast number of leaves and vines had long been drained of vitality by the Bone Dragon's purple mist, and lay scattered across the ground.

Fifteen Hell Three-Headed Hounds surrounded the giant tree, continuously breathing fire.

The entire tree trunk was burning.

It had completely become a fire tree.

Extremely spectacular.

It looked just like a mountain of flames.

The crackling of burning wood and the thick smell of charred smoke were something all three of them, including Zhao Chi, could clearly feel.

All the treetops and branches had already burned into charcoal, and large amounts of white ash drifted down like falling snow.

Under the bone dragon's dive, every branch snapped off, crashing down around the giant tree with thunderous booms.

The giant tree had already snapped in half at the waist.

The broken branches and shattered wood burned fiercely beneath the tree without stopping.

Within a range of several dozen meters around the entire ancient giant tree, there was nothing but raging fire.

Waves of heat rolled out, even affecting the bone dragon in the sky somewhat.

Standing here, all three of them, including Zhao Chi, could feel the scorching heat rushing at them.

It looked as though the giant tree was already dead.

But that wasn't the case.

The remaining half of the giant tree was now like a burning massive stump, yet it kept sprouting tender buds.

It looked just like a human head constantly growing hair.

In every spot, buds kept sprouting.

Unfortunately, the tender buds only grew a tiny bit before being scorched in the sea of fire.

There was simply no way they could truly grow out.

Moreover, the speed at which new buds sprouted grew slower and slower; its vitality seemed to have hit bottom and was about to be exhausted.

Still, from this one could see just how terrifying the giant tree's survival ability was.

Although it moved extremely slowly and its attack efficiency wasn't high either, it really could take a beating.

As long as it's still alive, there's still time!

Besides this, there was another battlefield.

Several kilometers to the south, the enormous Storm Titan and the Hell Nine-Headed Lizard were still fighting.

The Hell Nine-Headed Lizard was clearly not a match, but it was still a giant beast standing forty meters tall.

In terms of sheer size, both sides belonged to the same tier.

The Storm Titan had the overall advantage, but to thoroughly kill the Nine-Headed Lizard would still take time.

Three Hell Nine-Headed Lizards had already been beaten to death.

One of them had charred smoke rising from its entire body, its purple-black frame riddled with black holes—it had likely been electrocuted to death by the Storm Titan.

This situation was very similar to the effect of the earlier electric strike on the werewolf lord.

Two other Nine-Headed Lizards had already exploded.

Zhao Chi judged this from the more than ten giant lizard heads scattered all over the ground.

These two were probably the first ones killed by the Storm Titan.
