Chapter 2549: Development and Construction (5)

Qiyue's blood won't work.

The tree spirit was completely uninterested.

Looks like only Zhao Chi's will do.

Qiyue said softly, "My lord, it seems she only eats your blood. Can you still hold on? If not, please rest a while. This tree's root system is so well developed, and every root is plump — going hungry for an hour should be fine."

Of course Qiyue put Zhao Chi first.

But Zhao Chi still shook his head.

Zhao Chi's life was full right now.

Although the healing effect was small, it could still heal after all.

It was just that watering her like that again wouldn't work.

But…

Feeding this little tree spirit should be fine.

She couldn't eat too much.

"It's fine, Qiyue. I can still feed her a bit more, let her eat some, it's no problem. Help me hold her up again."

"Yes, my lord, but please be very careful not to use too much. I'll first cut the wound open for you, to make sure it doesn't hurt."

"It's fine, this little bit of pain I can still bear. Don't worry."

After Qiyue picked up the tree spirit, Zhao Chi skillfully picked out a blood vessel again.

Then sliced it open.

"Here, eat."

Zhao Chi pinched the blood vessel and held it to the tree spirit's mouth.

Although the tree spirit was only 30 centimeters tall, her little mouth could open wide enough to take the blood vessel in completely.

Although the tree spirit didn't seem fully developed, her sense of smell appeared to be working normally.

She smelled the blood at the vessel and was very happy.

Waving her arms and legs about, grabbing wildly.

After Qiyue brought her over, the tree spirit took the blood vessel into her mouth in one bite.

Zhao Chi let go.

The blood vessel swelled, and blood gushed out.

Pfft!

"Eeeek~~!!"

The tree spirit flew.

Spinning as she flew off.

The blood spurting from the artery was too forceful.

Like a high-pressure water gun, it violently sprayed into the tree spirit's little mouth.

Immediately after, two streams of blood shot from her nose.

The next moment, the blood vessel was flung from her mouth, spraying the tree spirit's face at the same time, and then both the vessel and the tree spirit herself were blasted away.

"Holy shit! Qiyue!"

Zhao Chi was greatly alarmed.

"Don't worry, my lord!"

Qiyue possessed dynamic vision, and her speed was extremely fast.

Her long legs kicked out, and all six arms closed together at once.

She safely caught the blood-soaked tree spirit mid-air.

The tree spirit cried loudly in Qiyue's hands.

But there were no tears, and her crying was very faint.

Zhao Chi sighed, swallowed a pill, and let the blood vessel heal.

Qiyue quickly and gently wiped the blood from the tree spirit, then softly stroked her, trying hard to soothe her.

The tree spirit only cried for a few seconds, then noticed the blood on her body and began sucking it up again.

Both Qiyue and Zhao Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, let me cut a wound open for you instead…"

"Fine…"

Zhao Chi had wanted the tree spirit to eat faster, but hadn't expected her to be so small…

Then forget it.

Qiyue leaned her head over and took Zhao Chi's index finger into her mouth.

Her soft little tongue slid gently, and a wound immediately appeared.

Fresh blood seeped through the skin.

But very slowly.

In one second, only a single blood bead could seep out.

But… for this tree spirit, it seemed to be enough.

Zhao Chi held out his finger.

The tree spirit directly hugged Zhao Chi's hand, opened her little mouth, and sucked hard.

Zhao Chi felt a stab of pain.

But he still bore it.

After all, this is the tree spirit of the Eternal Tree.

A little pain is nothing.

It was visible to the naked eye—the tree spirit's stomach gradually filling up, stretching larger.

But the tree spirit didn't stop, still drinking.

Zhao Chi checked the life points—only down by a little over 20, still over 3,000 left for her to eat.

Sluuurp, sluuurp, sluuurp.

Sluuurp, sluuurp, sluuurp.

The tree spirit's belly was already bulging, but she still showed no sign of stopping.

Qi Yue said with some worry, "My lord, should we stop? This little thing doesn't seem to know what 'full' means—don't want her to burst."

Zhao Chi had the same thought.

But she's a tree spirit—she shouldn't be that stupid, right?

Besides, her status still displayed the two words "Hungry."

She really probably hadn't eaten enough.

"It's fine, let's wait a little longer…"

"Oh…"

The two of them kept watching her again.

Sluuurp, sluuurp, sluuurp.

Sluuurp, sluuurp, sluuurp.
