Chapter 543: Silver Coin wants to buy the Home of the Departed
This wasn't a question at all. What else could Ang, this dead skeleton, be doing besides planting things when he was leveling the ground?
So Negris didn't expect any other answer; it was just curious about what could be planted on the ice.
Yes, curious about "what could be planted," not "whether it could be planted." It had been educated to the point that as long as it was something this dead skeleton did, and as long as it was about planting things, one shouldn't think about whether it could be planted; it would grow regardless.
siluke.
What one should think about is what could be grown.
For the God of Knowledge, this was an incredible change. It had been hit so hard in this regard that it didn't believe in itself anymore.
The ice surface was not the ground, not soil; the temperature was ultra-low, and there were no nutrients. What could grow in such a place?
Ang nodded, then walked along the ice surface. The Soil-Loosening Spell was activated, and the hard ice surface was immediately shaken into fine powder.
These fine powders immediately seemed to come alive, slowly rising and piling into loose ridges of crushed ice. These crushed ice pieces were as loose as snow, making one want to step on them.
Just as Negris wanted to put this into action, the snowy ice slowly rose, forming a water elemental's head, staring at it expressionlessly. Although there was no expression on its face, the small hands behind its back were already clenched into fists.
Negris retracted its dragon foot and smiled "enthusiastically": "It's Xiao Qiu, leveling the ground? Work hard, don't be lazy."
The water elemental glared at it unconvinced and said stiffly: "Small, lizard."
"Hehe." It had long expected it to say this. The water elemental's vocabulary wasn't rich; "lizard" was probably the only offensive word it could think of. But this word, which had already been used once, had no lethality to an old fox like Negris.
"Little Ice Ball, Little Water Ball, Little Ice Lump, Little Ice Cube, Little Elemental, Little Butt..." Negris threw a series of names at it, all highlighting the word "little," making the water elemental "Aoo" loudly in anger.
"Why... why do you also speak Aoo-language? Who are you calling?" Negris's heart skipped a beat, and it couldn't help but panic, looking up.
Not far away, the little angel was rushing over with her arms wide open to maintain balance. Don't look at how small she was; when she sprinted over, she actually made the ice surface rumble.
"Kubada! Help!" Negris immediately fled, running toward Ang. In this world, only Ang could control this dead angel.
"Why, why does she speak Aoo-language? When did you two get so close?" Hiding next to Ang, Negris dared to poke its head out and ask loudly.
The little angel patted her flat chest and then pointed at the water elemental: "Aoo!"
"Kubada, you say you'll protect her, so you protect her? She's only known you for a few days, I've known you for so long. You heartless thing, I'll tell Anthony not to take you to fight." Negris scolded angrily.
"Aoo!" The little angel held out a crystal-clear crystal block.
"Ah? You accepted her gift, so you're going to protect her? What gift, let me see." Negris leaned over curiously.
"Ouch, you heartless thing." Negris was punched in the eye socket, but it also snatched the crystal from the little angel's hand. Of course, the little angel gave it to it on purpose; it couldn't have snatched it otherwise.
Carefully studying the crystal, Negris said: "This is a water elemental crystal core? Blank? Condensed by Xiao Qiu?"
Ordinary elements are very active. Except for earth elements, whether it's wind, water, fire, or lightning, they are all extremely active and changeable. This is unfavorable for life, leading to the rarity of elemental creatures.
An elemental crystal core is a stable elemental crystal. It is the core of an elemental creature. With it, an element has the possibility of giving birth to life.
The elemental crystal core condensed by Xiao Qiu is equivalent to creating a new water elemental. As long as it is cultivated for a period of time, there is a high probability of a new water elemental being born.
Negris couldn't help but be surprised: "Xiao Qiu has this ability? This is the level of an elemental monarch. Xiao Qiu, are you that powerful?"
"Small—lizard." Xiao Qiu's face condensed on the ice surface, saying stiffly.
Alright, this guy held a grudge against it and couldn't communicate at all. Negris had to put it away and study it later.
Flying to Ang's side, Negris asked: "What do you want to plant? Is there anything that can grow on ice?"
Ang took out a large lump of wood shavings.
"Uh, aren't these the wood shavings that those fat bugs eat? You wouldn't tell me this thing can be planted, would you?" Negris was surprised.
The interior of the Divine Tree has a large amount of these wood shavings. The dragon race raises these fat bugs inside. Negris took a rough look and thought these were residues of the Divine Tree. But Ang took them out and told it that he was preparing to plant this thing. Are you kidding?
Ang pulled the wood shavings apart, revealing the innermost part curled into a roll, and dripped a drop of insect ash liquid on it. Soon, that cabbage-like wood shaving heart slowly unfolded.
"It's really alive? Is this moss?" Negris asked.
Ang nodded: "Ancient, Tree Moss."
If it's moss, it's really possible to grow on ice. Negris became interested and seriously observed Ang's planting method.
Ang first made ridges on the ice surface, then sprinkled a layer of Divine Tree coal on the ridges, divided into different control groups: Divine Tree coal ground into powder, granular, and ash residue after burning.
It seems that Ang is still exploring the technology of planting things on ice.
Many cores of the wood shaving moss were collected, activated one by one with insect ash liquid, and planted on the ridges mixed with ice and coal. Ang activated the Death-Speed Aura.
The wood shaving moss really grew slowly. Among the three control groups, the growth on the Divine Tree coal powder and granules was good, but the burnt coal slag didn't work at all; it couldn't grow.
"So, this wood shaving moss needs Divine Tree coal to grow?" Negris summarized.
Ang shook his head: "Here it needs it."
Here it needs it? That means it doesn't need it elsewhere? It seems that this dead skeleton has tried planting it in the dimensional space.
The wood shaving moss grows slowly, but in this cold void, it's good enough that it can grow. The ice ball is just a test field; the larger planting area is on the Divine Tree land.
Next is the stage of large-scale construction. The dragons who don't need to pull carts for the time being found that they were pulling plows instead. How come they are living a harder life than before after being saved by the Dragon God?
Crushing a large amount of ice and pulling it to the surface of the Divine Tree, wrapping the gray Divine Tree continent in a layer of ice.
The awakened believers of the light also joined this large-scale production. The only troublesome part is that the air on the surface is too thin. Every time they go out to work, they need the dragons to perform the Dragon Breathing Technique, so they can't live on the surface for a long time. It seems they need to find a way to increase the air density on the surface.
Just as Ang was thinking about how to increase the air density, Anthony teleported over with a strange expression and found Ang and Negris: "My lord, do you remember the Home of the Departed? Silver Coin might want to buy it."
Negris was shocked: "Buy it? Can that thing be bought? If it's bought, there are more than a billion in management fees stored inside. Can we use them?"
PS: Thank you all for the monthly tickets. It's too hot, I haven't been able to pull myself together. I'll try again tomorrow. ===== CHAPTER 544 =====
