Chapter 2669

It was like a flashbang had suddenly been thrown; the entire world turned white.

Fortunately, the light soon dispersed, rushing entirely toward the Tree of Eternity.

The whole great tree became semi-transparent.

There was no wind around, yet the Tree of Eternity began to sway.

"My lord, let us step back a bit!"

Before obtaining Zhao Chi's consent, Qi Yue grabbed Zhao Chi and quickly retreated several dozen meters.

The Silk Clan female soldiers retreated along with them.

After more than ten seconds, the light vanished.

Crack! Crack!

Snap!

Cracks appeared again on the ground surrounding the Tree of Eternity.

This scene had already been witnessed; massive tree roots were growing, spreading wildly underground.

Because the roots were too numerous and too thick, the entire ground slowly began to bulge.

The Tree of Eternity seemed to sit atop a low, small hill, with all around it thick tree roots partially exposed.

And at this moment, the Tree of Eternity above the ground had grown much larger.

The trunk, originally one person thick, had become as thick as a strong orc, like a large water vat.

The height had also increased from five meters to ten meters.

The leaves were even more lush.

Visible to the naked eye, numerous new branches were sprouting; this ten-meter tree was already quite large, having initially taken on the shape of a mushroom cap.

Standing beside the trunk, one could truly be shielded from wind and rain.

After the great tree calmed down, Zhao Chi once again began his blood-spraying work.

Qi Yue and the Silk Clan female soldiers were already well-practiced; those who should hold the blood vessels held them, and those who should heal healed.

This time, Zhao Chi did not pour it onto the land but sprayed it directly onto the trunk.

At the very beginning, blood was sprayed directly onto the tree, but back then the sapling was too weak and nearly got sprayed apart, so it was poured onto the land instead.

Now that this great tree was as thick as a water vat, Zhao Chi's blood spraying upon it would have absolutely no effect.

Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—

Blood gushed forth.

The moment a large amount of fresh blood touched the great tree, the entire trunk began to sway.

The whole trunk seemed to be writhing.

The instant the blood contacted the trunk, it diminished greatly.

It was as if the blood had been poured onto a sponge; it was all absorbed without even flowing onto the ground.

This was even better.

It saved the tree roots on the ground from having to churn up later to absorb the blood from the surface soil.

It would make a mess of the surroundings.

Moreover, the high-heeled soles of Qi Yue and the others would step into a lot of bloody mud, requiring cleaning, which was very troublesome.

From now on, it would be irrigated this way.

After a relatively long time, Zhao Chi felt slightly dizzy once more, then stopped this irrigation.

The great tree changed from an ugly red-green back to an eerie pink-purple.

Pop-crack!

A crisp sound came.

It sounded like an apple being split open.

At the base of the water-vat-thick trunk, a one-meter-long crack split open.

As expected, the Tree Spirit appeared again.

This time, the Tree Spirit was different from yesterday.

The skin had changed from yesterday's fresh, tender pink to tender white, more like the color of normal skin.

Her small face remained exquisitely beautiful.

Her facial features were even clearer, resembling those little flower spirits more, but obviously her features were more perfect than those of the flower spirits.

The Tree Spirit poked her head out from the crack.

Her pitch-black, large eyes looked around wildly.

Upon seeing Zhao Chi, she grinned.

"Hee~"

Zhao Chi saw a small gap open in her tiny, sharp teeth.

Immediately after, she quickly scrambled out from the tree roots, running out in a wobbly manner.

Yesterday she could only crawl; today she could already run.

Although her running was still very unskilled, it was a great improvement.

"Daddy~"

A childish yet clear cry.

Zhao Chi, of course, did not answer.

But he still approached and squatted down.

The Tree Spirit raised her hands high, jumping continuously, wanting Zhao Chi to hold her.

Two slender, thin legs leaped lightly yet powerfully, and not even a low height.

"My lord, she seems to have grown quite a bit."

Qi Yue squatted down beside them, examining the Tree Spirit closely.

Zhao Chi noticed it too.

The first two times, this Tree Spirit was only about 30 centimeters tall.

After squatting, it was even smaller, a tiny little ball.

But today it seemed to be already 40 centimeters tall, especially with those two thin legs being very long.

This Tree Spirit did not resemble a human infant; instead, it looked like a proportionally shrunk adult woman.

Her figure was curvy, with proportions quite perfect.

Of course, it was only her figure and appearance that resembled a miniature woman; as for her brain and intelligence... they indeed still needed to grow.

"Hug~"

That Tree Spirit suddenly spoke this word.

Zhao Chi exclaimed in surprise: "You can speak now?"

"Daddy, hug~"

Zhao Chi could only hold her, but dared not apply any force with both hands.

Right now, after all, he possessed 10 points of strength; even a light touch could break the Tree Spirit's thin little legs.

Qi Yue's arms were softer, so she continued to assist Zhao Chi in lifting her up.

Zhao Chi spoke a few more words to her, but this Tree Spirit only knew two words.

"Daddy, hug~"

Alright then...

Let's eat blood first.

Qi Yue helped Zhao Chi lick open the wound.

Zhao Chi extended his index finger over.

The Tree Spirit immediately took it in its mouth and began to consume the blood.

However, this time Zhao Chi noticed she did not bite his finger; she merely held his finger tightly with both little hands.

She isn't biting me anymore?

It seems she already knows that biting would hurt me, so this time her teeth did not even come down.

She really has grown a little.

Since the wound was not large and the bleeding was slow, the Tree Spirit ate for quite a while before letting go.

Zhao Chi looked at his finger; indeed, there were no tooth marks at all.
