Chapter 217: Chapter 204: Nine-Snake Mother Tree
[Snake-headed Vine Puppet Fusion success, Mother Nest Ancient Tree obtained form advancement: Nine-Snake Mother Tree, Nine-Snake Mother Tree obtained skill advancement: LV6 Tree-born Worm, LV6 Vine Giant Rat, LV2 Parasitic Corpse Willow, LV3 Man-eating Vine]
As soon as the Fusion ended, a powerful aura immediately emanated from the Nine-Snake Mother Tree, significantly surpassing the previous level, with a faint glow congregating around its body.
Its form crazily swelled in that moment, reaching nearly two hundred meters, with its trunk becoming more robust, its branches expanding outwards, overshadowing the surrounding buildings, giving off a feeling of blotted out skies.
Amongst the branches, Ancient Tree Crystals and Crystal Mine Fruits scattered like stars, and below the sturdy branches, vines hung down thick and tenacious, like thousands of long snakes in movement.
The greatest change wasn ́t in the canopy that resembled an umbrella, but rather in the already formidable root system beneath the soil.
Countless roots intertwined and knitted together, with flesh and blood inside evolving into sinews, and roots and vines outside, knitting into shape, resembling a mile-long, several meters thick Black Vine Python with blood-red eyes and tree blade-like teeth, truly ferocious and terrifying.
There were nine of these Black Vine Pythons, and at the moment of their evolution, they let out an earthshaking hiss that struck fear into one ́s heart, truly living up to the name of Nine-Snake Mother Tree.
Su Han looked on in amazement but soon his expression turned to joy. Under the state of the Nine-Snake Mother Tree, the nine snakes were not only a part of the mother tree but also possessed relatively independent consciousnesses, much like the Parasitic Corpse Willow yet even further advanced as a part of the mother tree.
The strength of the nine snakes was only a notch below the Third Order. Taken individually, any Second-order Superior would definitively not be a match, but if facing a Third Order, their methods were somewhat lacking and might be defeated.
But for now, their strength was only limited by the Nine-Snake Mother Tree; should the mother tree progress even further, they would be nine dragon-like Third-order Vine Snakes.@@@@
At this moment, the Nine-Snake Mother Tree was not only at the Third Grade Superior level, but this significant advancement also put it extremely close to the Fourth Grade.
“Where the vines reach, where the vine snakes go, it may not reach 15 kilometers, but it should be able to cover 13 or 14 kilometers, that should be enough.”
The joy in Su Han’s eyes could not be restrained. The most direct change brought about by the form advancement of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree was these nine great serpent heads, which significantly enhanced its combat capability.
The vine snakes were not only strong but also possessed Paralyzing Poison, which was more potent than the Man-eating Vine and posed a significant threat to any large monsters. On each serpent head were two Man-eating Vines that could extend out, which were not included in the LV3 Man-eating Vine and were also one of their methods.
With the Nine-Snake Mother Tree possessing serpent heads and thus stationing in the center of the camp, ordinary monsters could be dealt with by the vines, which had now grown dramatically in length to 15 kilometers.
The entire northern district of the city was now within the control of the vines, and naturally, the serpent heads could move out as well, although they could not fight well at their extreme range and were not agile.
Su Han calmed his emotions and glanced over the 4 advanced skills, carefully checking and couldn’t help but feel delighted.
Let ́s set aside LV3 Man-eating Vine for the moment, as the change in Man-eating Vine was an increase in quantity, reaching 50 vines.
The change in quantity wasn’t the main focus of Su Han’s attention; the strength of the Man-eating Vine was in its Paralyzing Poison.
If all else failed, they could temporarily serve as a primary source for injection agents while also rewarding meritorious officers.
A Second-order Intermediate beast required only about ten to fifteen days to cultivate, so it wasn’t impossible.
However, the rewards could not be granted too readily.
One must know that among Second-grade Monsters, beast companions are cultivated with various monster nutrients added to their wombs, leading to substantial enhancements in every aspect of their physical fitness.
The Contribution Value required for exchange had to be suitably high, and Su Han would retain control over the permissions.
The changes in the Nine-Snake Mother Tree similarly reflected on Su Han himself. For several days, he could feel Spiritual Energy fortifying his body like a warm current.
Even without the enhancements from strengthening agents, his bodily strength and speed had further improved and were not inferior to that of a monster of the Lower Tier of the Third Order.
Su Han and the Nine-Snake Mother Tree’s nine Vine Snakes had tested each other in battle at a ruined site.
Though he was not victorious, with the aid of the Floating Pagoda Black Armor and his own strength, he had not fallen behind in the fight against the snake heads.
The results of the tests, aside from Bai Qilan, were unknown to anyone else.
Bai Qilan had this knowledge in order to further create enhancement potions that suited Su Han’s situation.
With the advancement of the Nine-Snake Mother Tree, the potions required further adjustments to align as closely as possible with Su Han’s condition.
Compared to Su Han, the Level One potion had already been made available for exchange. In this battle, besides Captains and Deputy Captains who were Second-order Contractors, a total of 50 people could exchange for the strengthening agents.
They had completed their exchanges in succession and under the observation of the laboratory, they began injections.
The effects of the injections were extremely evident; the physique of the Tree Domain warriors had significantly improved after the injection.
Tougher skin and muscles, increased speed, and enhanced strength had substantially elevated their physical shortfalls.
Some, like Nong Yun from the Infrastructure Team and Lu Bijng from the Patrol Team, were already First Order High Grade Contractors, and with the assistance of the enhancement potions, their speed had been elevated to the same tier, and their Angels had reached the racial limits.
As long as they underwent the Divine Initiation Ritual, they would break through to the Second Order—a double blessing indeed.
The only disappointment was that among the 50 people, only 3 showed substantial Psychic Fluctuations or signs of Talent Awakening, and it was still uncertain whether it was genuine or false, or how long it would take for the awakening to occur.
On the other hand, the group of Captains and Deputy Captains who had been injected with the Level Two enhancement agents received good news—Zhu Xiong and Gan Xinglei had successively Awakened their Talents.
