Ant Lord in the Star Realm-Chapter 733 - 600 Green Worm Bean_3

Great Tall Tree?

Dragon Cypress's eyes lit up, the Dominating Throne hovered in midair, his gaze swept quickly, while focusing his senses.

"..."

Dragon Cypress's gaze slowly moved downward. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

There was a faint Origin Force fluctuation, coming from below, from the slope beneath—a small arbor tree.

Insect Bean?

The Wormwood Spider King once gifted a large batch of bean plant seeds capable of cooperating with the 'Bean Vine Entanglement' ability.

Dragon Cypress had once arranged for large-scale planting of these on the Jianlan Plain, but saw no results for a long time. Later, he planted cypress trees instead, clearing out most of them.

There were almost no small insect bean arbors left.

Was this one that was missed?

The Dominating Throne slowly descended and docked.

Looking closely, the specific variety was 'Green Worm Bean.'

A cultivated variant of the White Insect Bean.

Ordinary White Insect Bean is a small shrub.

But the cultivated and optimized Green Worm Bean already had a clear main trunk, standing over three meters tall—up to the small arbor standard.

Insect Beans and Wood Beans belong to the same plant family, and every species in this family has strengthening effects that are solely Wood Element.

Dragon Cypress: "...Not bad!"

Ink Orchid sighed softly: "Not bad at all. Much better than your 'White Clover Divine-Given Seed.'"

Dragon Cypress: "Not necessarily. What if the White Clover Divine-Given Seed has fivefold or even sevenfold division potential?"

Ink Orchid, frustrated, didn't want to talk.

The Jianlan Plain sits in the southern warm temperate region. The Green Worm Bean blooms in winter, and now all the pods on the tree were almost mature.

Dragon Cypress hurried off to the sub-nest, gathered two Worker Ants to come over, cut off all the irrelevant pods from the tree, and stationed Specialized Green Soldiers to guard the area.

Next, he went to White Lotus Lake to fetch Black Cory, who was on vacation, and had her lead soldiers to guard as well.

Dragon Cypress and Ink Orchid set off and continued on...

...

As summer began to turn hot, the Green Worm Bean Divine-Given Seed was matured and harvested, and Ink Orchid placed it in her Life Pouch to nurture.

...

Late winter.

Areca Rainforest.

Ink Orchid was deep in evolutionary slumber.

Dragon Cypress kept vigil outside the Ant Nest.

Five days later,

A ray of Metal System Primordial Energy pierced the mountain stone sealing the hole, striking Dragon Cypress's carapace with a metallic clang.

Half-asleep, Dragon Cypress was startled awake. Regaining his senses, he looked up and asked, "Succeeded again?"

Ink Orchid replied proudly, "Successfully awakened Metal System Talent!"

Ink Orchid realized, and questioned, "Ant, what do you mean 'again succeeded'?"

Dragon Cypress: "...Congratulations, Second King!"

Dragon Cypress stood up, speaking decisively, "Second King, you are strong!"

The Orchid Mantis's bloodline talent is powerful, born with Earth, Wood, Water, and Wind system potential. Using a Divine-Grade Fruit that grants Elemental Talent, it already halves the risk of failure.

Of course, Mantis's luck is also truly good—Thunder, Fire, and Metal systems, succeeding three times in a row.

Now, all seven Elemental Talents have been awakened. Life System and Soul System have also awakened, only the final Strength System remains.

The Strength System is a hundred percent success.

Ink Orchid will achieve full ten-system talents at Lord stage, age period 7, and can comprehend even more abilities.

In the end, she's nearly three age periods ahead of Dragon Cypress.

For the upcoming evolution, Ink Orchid can use the Divine-Grade Fruit to pre-comprehend two or three Fire System abilities ahead of time. Doing so will increase the chance of grasping Fire System Form Ability upon ascending to Insect King.

—No comparing~

Dragon Cypress silently reminded himself, keeping calm as he asked, "Ink Orchid, was that a Metal System ability you just used to attack me?"

"Of course!"

Ink Orchid tilted her head, eyes locking onto the metal can by the throne cushion. She lightly summoned her Origin Force.

The metal can floated and its lid unscrewed and opened...

Upon awakening Metal Talent, an ability that is always grasped: Metal Control.

Dragon Cypress: "That's two abilities already."

Ink Orchid dabbed her tentacles in, ate several mouthfuls of Ant Honey, and finally said unhurriedly, "And another one—seems to be a pretty fierce Metal-Earth dual system hybrid ability!"

Dragon Cypress waggled his tentacles and said, "Let's go! Let's give it a try!"

"No need!"

Ink Orchid dropped the metal can, leaped to the ground, and made the crimson rocks on the cave floor writhe up into a stone wall.

Metal-Earth dual system Primordial Energy erupted.

The stone wall instantly changed, its surface becoming smooth and glossy, taking on a metallic gray-white hue.

Ink Orchid raised her claw and tapped it—clang clang clang—the wall rang out with metallic sounds, "Ten times stronger than normal earth wall... the Metal-Earth dual system defensive ability!"

Dragon Cypress: "!!!"

Ink Orchid: "I'll name it... Sinking Gold!"

Ink Orchid: "Dragon Cypress, this ability has an even greater use. In the plan for Blue Island, don't we need to store up a huge amount of food? With Sinking Gold, you can harden material to make storage containers, seal them up even tighter and sturdier."

Dragon Cypress: "Makes sense!"

Dragon Cypress: "Ink Orchid, hurry and eat to recover—we're heading to Areca Rainforest to get the Green Worm Bean Divine-Given Seed planted in time."
