Astral Gods

Chapter 87 Busy

Based on an evolution frequency of once every two months, the yew can evolve once in the spring and then again at the end of February.

The amount of divinely bestowed food purchased last year is still plentiful. It only ate a small portion of it to meet the conditions for evolution.

Inside the nest chamber, which had been solidified by the power of earth and stone, the yew tree lay in the center, while the purple acacia and purple artemisia silently channeled their Force into it.

It is not lacking in the Force itself, but the two brothers are afraid that the life seed it nurtures will be inherently deficient, so they appropriately use the Force to assist it.

Inside the nest, after two days of slumber, the yew slowly shed its old shell and examined its new body.

After advancing to the intermediate level of the ninth-age stage, it grew to about 1.5 meters tall. Although the horns on its head accounted for one-third of its body length, its body length alone was still quite rare among warriors of the same level.

The yew waited inside the nest until its shell hardened a little before crawling out.

Outside the nest chamber, Zihuai and Ziai, who were guarding it, sensed the movement inside and immediately came to greet them, asking with concern, "Zishu, was there anything wrong with this evolution? Does your body feel weak? Has your strength changed?"

While asking questions, they were also scanning the yew tree with their mental energy. The biggest fear after awakening from its evolutionary stage is shell cracking. If such a problem occurs, more primal food will be needed to make up for the deficiency, and the danger of advancing to the next evolutionary stage will also increase significantly.

Zishan responded: "I feel pretty good so far. There's no problem with advancing to the next level in two months."

"That's good." The two older brothers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Zi Ai took out a jar of Force Honey and handed it to Zi Shan: "This is Force Honey newly brewed by the Snow Lotus Queen Bee. How does it taste?"

Zishan quickly finished a jar of Force Honey to fill her stomach: "This Force Honey tastes pretty good. Once we're managing our own territories, we can ask Xuecao Zuo Wang to make some for us to use when entertaining insects."

Zihuai took out a seed: "We'll talk about that later. Let's nurture the seed of the yew first."

Zishan examined the seed, her large eyes shifting slightly: "Why is it a tulip tree seed? There are far too many metal-type life-seeds being produced here!"

Among the many life forms it has bred, there are already two metal-type enhanced life forms, Red Heart Cherry and Iron Holly, and now it will also bred Liriodendron tulipifera.

Originally, it was intended to cultivate the banana seed, but since the Green Soul Kiwi was substituted, the cultivation of the banana seed was temporarily halted.

Then there was a Red Heart Cherry as a replacement, otherwise its metal-type species would have needed to be added one more.

"For other insects, a large tree is at most a high-quality plant, but for us, who have the potential to develop metal-type talents, its value is no less than that of a top-tier plant."

"Moreover, the effect of red cherry is to enhance the overall metal element, the effect of iron holly is to enhance the metal element affinity, and the effect of tulip tree is to enhance the metal element attack power. The original energy properties of the three plants are still different."

"Alright." Zishan spat out the Iron Holly Life Seed and took the Liriodendron Life Seed into her Life Bag to nurture it.

Zi Huai put the Iron Holly Life Seed into a small spider silk bag and handed it to Zi Ai, then said, "Zi Ai, Zi Shan, Lord Zi Li has asked me to go to the Thousand Star Islands for coastal defense training. I will be leaving in a few days. You two take good care of the Life Seed and keep an eye on my Life Seed production."

"Okay, be careful over there," the two brothers replied honestly.

This was something Lord Purple Plum had said before: to have the three of them take turns going to the Thousand Star Islands for coastal defense training. As for Purple Locust leaving for a while, the other two weren't particularly reluctant, since it was only for half a year and they would be back after that.

Instead, Zi Huai, somewhat worried, instructed, "When you are taking care of the life-seeds, don't forget to take care of the plants in the territory. Although January and February are the seasons with the most flowers, there are flowers blooming every month on Xiangjiao Island."

Especially in April and May when the mulberry trees bloom, if we can find a mulberry tree blessed by the gods, the divinely bestowed mulberries produced by our tribe's mulberry trees will be enough to hold a mulberry feast.

"Understood." Both brothers were cultured Zerg warriors, and they knew that mulberry trees were now one of the main tree species cultivated by their tribe.

If the number of mulberry seeds bestowed by the gods increases, then we can hold our own mulberry festival, just like the fruit fly tribe.

One advantage of holding such a conference is that it allows them to charge admission fees. Another advantage is that it can enhance the reputation of their tribe. With greater reputation, more Zerg warriors will be willing to trade with their tribe.

At that time, all kinds of primal force foods, and even divinely bestowed primal force foods, will actively gather in their tribes for them to choose from.

The three brothers planted the seed of the iron holly and then stayed by its side waiting for it to sprout.

A few days later, just as the seedlings in the Iron Holly Life Seed had grown to half a meter tall, the Lord of Purple Pearl Mountain returned and personally led the Purple Locust to the Thousand Star Islands.

After that, only the Zi Ai and Zi Shan brothers were left to manage the life seed and territory.

It is much more tiring for two insects to manage the woodland than for three insects to manage their territory. Without the purple locust tree, their workload has increased by half.

In particular, the life seeds nurtured in the early stages of the yew tree gradually awaken their soul consciousness, and they also teach the awakened life seeds various kinds of knowledge related to nature.

In addition, the seedlings of the Purple Beauty plant were also entrusted to them for care; they had to take care of more than 70 seedlings in total.

They are busy from afternoon to night every day, and the complicated and trivial matters almost overwhelm the two lively little soldiers.

Having experienced the hardships of life, they no longer had the energy to fight with the other rhinoceros beetle warriors.

Since she had already learned most of the necessary knowledge, Zi Ai stopped attending classes and began to manage her destiny and territory full-time.

In mid-March, the mulberry trees begin to bloom, and during this period, all the mulberry trees planted by the entire Rhinoceros Tortoise tribe start to blossom one after another.

The largest of these is undoubtedly the mulberry forest planted by the Rhinoceros Tortoise Warriors, but the most valuable is undoubtedly the Purple Mulberry God-given Seed of the Purple Mulberry Lord.

Secondly, there are the two male mulberry trees possessed by the yew, then the wild mulberry tree divinely bestowed seed and the female yew mulberry tree seed, followed by the ordinary mulberry tree seeds of the other rhinoceros tortoise warriors.

The yew tree has two male mulberry trees. The male mulberry tree seedling that was sown in the intermediate stage was not allowed to bloom because the sowing time was too short. Instead, Xuecao Zuowang was instructed to remove all its flower buds.

Because it plans to advance to a higher-level warrior next year, its female mulberry trees will also prune and stop bearing fruit this year.

Only the male mulberry tree seed planted in its initial stage continued to bloom normally, and then pollinated the seed plants of other rhinoceros beetle warriors.

Its male mulberry tree seedlings bloom and pollinate the seedlings of other little warriors; this is none of its concern, as Lord Purple Plum is currently handling it.

However, among the Zihuai's seedlings, two mulberry seedlings had long been destined to bear fruit this year. After discussing it, the two brothers decided that the two mulberry seedlings of Zihuai would each leave 100 bunches of mulberries, and the yield would increase year by year thereafter.

While they were busy, Lord Purple Plum also gave them 500 catties of Primal Force Fertilizer and 50 catties of Original Liquid.

The main purpose is to supplement the Red Heart Cherry's divinely bestowed seeds with nutrients and primal energy, accelerating the growth rate of the fruit on the tree.

In addition, using the original soil fertilizer and original liquid can also accelerate the growth rate of newly planted Water Cloud Persimmon and Iron Holly species.

After finishing all the matters within the general's territory, almost a month had passed.
