Chapter 2866: The Frontline (31)

Tree Spirit Fuyao had clearly grown much larger, most noticeably in her intelligence.

Though she still looked very small, her conversation was already very fluent.

Zhao Chi had many things he wanted to ask her.

Fu nodded: "I also want to chat more with you, but there are many things I don't understand right now. When I turn twenty thousand years old, I'll enter puberty; by then, I should be able to understand many things, and afterward I'll tell you everything I know. For now... I really don't understand a lot."

Zhao Chi exclaimed in surprise: "You only enter puberty at twenty thousand years old? Aren't you in it now? Your development is already very good."

No wonder her face still looked so small...

This truly was a case of a child's face with massive breasts.

But the problem was... if the great tree isn't an adult, it's useless.

Fuyao seemed to see through Zhao Chi's thoughts; she asked softly: "Brother, do you think I'm growing too slowly? Am I a bit useless?"

Zhao Chi did think exactly that, but how could he admit it?

He immediately waved his hand: "No such thing. I'm just very surprised. Once you become an adult, you'll surely be very strong, right?"

Fuyao smiled: "Of course. There are many things I can do. I should be able to cause life to emerge from the great tree, control the great tree to fight, and provide buffs to agriculture across all our territories, and so on and so forth."

"At what age do you become an adult?"

"Thirty thousand years old."

Thirty thousand years old to become an adult...

That meant at least twelve Taiyi Lun fragments were still needed.

Was there no hope before the great battle?

It was a bit worrying.

However, the Eternal Tree wasn't originally meant for combat; it could bring huge bonuses to agriculture.

Later, like the Tree of Life, it could give birth to life.

The Tree of Life could give birth to elves; then what would the Eternal Tree give birth to? High elves? Could it possibly be the Taoyuan Clan?

It really might be the Taoyuan Clan...

However, the energy required to give birth to life wasn't a combat ability; it was a support and development ability that needed time to reveal its power.

Even if achieved before the great battle, it couldn't instantly provide any significant help to combat.

Perhaps my expectations were simply too high.

Fuyao tilted her head, staring fixedly at Zhao Chi: "Brother Zhao Chi, you just think I'm growing too slowly, don't you?"

"No, no."

Zhao Chi still denied it.

Fuyao said: "It's okay. Once I enter puberty, I'll also have the ability to help you. Afterward, I will master Wood-type Primal Energy and can assist you in fighting together."

"Wood-type Primal Energy??"

"Yes."

"What is that? Is it similar to Spirit Energy?"

"Hmm... similar in purpose, but the energy content differs greatly, like sugarcane juice and sugar, tea and tea leaves, fruit wine and alcohol, blood and genetic genes."

Gu Qing smiled slightly.

Zhuang Ya raised an eyebrow.

Qi Yue licked her lips.

Su Qin wore a look of astonishment.

Only Tang Ruan was still grinning foolishly.

Zhao Chi asked: "So, will you be able to use many Wood-type skills?"

Fuyao said somewhat shamefacedly: "Many is an overstatement, after all I'm only entering puberty, but... it will definitely be helpful to you."

Zhao Chi asked: "Understood. You just said you can control the great tree to fight?"

Fuyao nodded: "Yes. Once I enter puberty, I can fully control it."

Zhao Chi asked again: "Is your control over it 100%? How does it compare to it fighting on its own? Besides being more obedient to commands, are there any other differences?"

"It fighting on its own?"

Fuyao seemed not to understand.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Yes, doesn't the Eternal Tree be able to fight on its own?"

"How could it possibly fight on its own?" Fuyao looked helpless.

Zhao Chi said, puzzled: "I saw the Eternal Tree fight on its own before."

Fuyao chuckled lightly: "Brother, don't you remember? The Eternal Tree you mentioned was replaced by me on the very first day."

"Ah!!??"

Fuyao looked confused: "What's wrong, Brother? Wasn't it you who personally poured blood to let that Eternal Tree be replaced by me, causing me to be born?"

Zhao Chi pointed at his own face in shock: "My blood can give birth to life?"

"What's that?" Fuyao frowned: "Not giving birth to life, but causing me to mutate. I mutated from the Eternal Tree into what I am now. How do you know nothing? Don't you have my information panel?"

What kind of situation was this?

How could Zhao Chi possibly know these things?

Looking again at Gu Qing and the others, they all wore equally bewildered expressions.

Let alone Gu Qing and the rest, even if Yao Feng had come, she wouldn't have understood this.

Gu Qing asked: "Fuyao, do you mean that you are the mutated form of the original Eternal Tree, and this great tree has no innate intelligence, but is completely controlled by you, the Tree Spirit?"

"Yes, Sister Gu Qing. Although I am a Tree Spirit, I'm completely different from ordinary Tree Spirits, right? I remember you were quite surprised when you first saw me, but back then I understood nothing; now I've finally grasped a little."

Gu Qing nodded: "Understood. Then you are indeed not an ordinary Tree Spirit, but the incarnation of the tree."

"Right! Sister Gu Qing, you've put it very accurately — it is an avatar!" Fuyao strongly agreed with this statement.

Zhuang Ya sighed: "No wonder you're completely different from an ordinary tree spirit — this mutated great tree... is much stronger than an ordinary great tree?"

"This... I'm not sure either, but a normal Eternal Tree shouldn't have a tree spirit, right? At least this one does, so I suppose that counts as being a bit stronger?"

Zhuang Ya nodded: "At the very least, communication will be very smooth."
