At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

"Ling~"

Han Ning leaned against Liu Zhiran, closed his eyes, mobilized the little mental power left in his brain, and activated his talent for mental surge.

Phew~

A green flame burned quietly.

More than a hundred meters away.

Silver Ripples, suspended in mid-air, suddenly lit up with a bright green light.

At this moment, its body was covered with dense cracks.

Wisps of silvery white light escaped from the cracks, preventing the wounds from healing.

The silver mantis opposite it had lost half of its body at some point.

The lower body disappeared out of thin air, and the light green organs were exposed to the air, slowly squirming under the silver light.

With the blessing of the surging spirit talent, Yin Yi's spirit was shaken, and eighteen high-speed spinning emerald thorns appeared in front of her.

The silver mantis seemed to feel something, and crossed its silver-white forelimbs, which were like sharp daggers, in front of it.

Two bright silver lights suddenly appeared, taking the lead and beheading Yin Yi!

It is like a swordsman with superb swordsmanship. Every time he swings, a powerful wave of sharp air will be swayed, and the aftermath will hit the weak insect in the distance, directly cutting it into two pieces.

just!

Uh-huh!

The silver thread flew through the air, smashing seven or eight flower thorns into pieces, but was exploded into light spots all over the sky by the subsequent flower thorns.

With the help of the surge of energy, ten more emerald thorns poured out towards the silver mantis.

Boom boom boom!

No matter how sharp the silver mantis's blade is, it can't stop the powerful destructive power of the emerald thorns after being amplified.

After trying hard to chop up ten flower thorns, it could no longer withstand the power of the psychic explosion brought by the flower thorns, and fine cracks bloomed on the surface of the silver blade.

Then...

A pair of forelimbs with piercing cold light shattered into pieces with a bang.

There was a rapid explosion from ahead.

boom!

The emerald flower thorns quickly enlarged in the silver mantis' pupils.

Green light exploded.

A silver-white crystal stone surrounded by light was rolled into the vines by the silver ripples' "hands".

"Ling!"

Silver Ripple didn't stay for a moment, the emerald green leaves behind him shook rapidly, and with wisps of silver light on its body, it flew quickly towards the last surviving insect-man.

"Hiss~hiss!"

While Silver Ripple and Silver Mantis were fighting fiercely, the insect man saw that something was wrong and already commanded the remaining insect swarm to evacuate towards the bloody grassland with him in his arms.

There was a frightened and anxious look on his face, and he kept playing the insect flute, directing the insect swarms around him to attack Silver Ripple.

But Yin Yi was not afraid at all. Any insect that flew in front of her would be instantly swept into flesh and blood by the emerald thorns surrounding it.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching.

"Ling!"

Yinyi scolded lightly, and between the swings of the vine whip, two emerald flower thorns penetrated a large group of insects blocking the front with terrifying power.

Until it flew behind the insect man who was escaping hastily, the light bloomed.

boom!

Han Ning stared at the flesh and blood fireworks blooming in the distance, looked away, couldn't help but lean down, and gasped.

"Phew...there really isn't a drop left."

He felt that his eyes were going dark, and the buzzing of insects kept ringing in his ears.

He wanted to use his mental power to communicate with Yinyi, but found that he didn't even have the mental power to communicate. In desperation, he could only shout at Yinyi who was flying:

"Yinyi, clean up the remaining insect swarms, and then go back to the forest to help Tianhe and the others."

"Ling~"

Upon hearing this, Yin Yi nodded, turned around and began to clean up the other swarms of escaping insects.

Without the influence of the insect flute, they completely lost their desire to fight and ran away like a piece of loose sand.

"Han Ning, are you okay?" Liu Zhiran on the side stretched out his hand to support the shaky Han Ning.

"Huh... let me rest for a while. I can't die. It's just that my mental power is too much. I'll know when your mental power gets stronger."

With Yinyi's help, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the remaining insect swarms.

Han Ning sat down directly against the tree trunk, closed his eyes and rested quietly. Liu Zhiran stood aside, carefully protecting his safety.

"Jiji!"

At this time, Omelette and Anemone pushed three big mud balls and ran to Han Ning.

"Egg Pancake, I have a mission for you. Keep an eye on these three people and don't let them escape." Han Ning opened his eyes a little and said weakly.

"grumble!"

Omelette nodded vigorously, her paws on the ground, her body tensed, and her eyes staring brightly at the three mud balls that were nearly 2 meters high in front of her.

…

Half an hour later.

With Yinyi's help, except for the group of small black flying insects, all the insects inside and outside the woods were wiped out.

And this group of black bugs that cannot be affected by psychic energy are wrapped in layers of mud from the egg cake, and they can't make any waves for the time being.

Han Ning rested for half an hour and felt a little better. As long as he didn't use his mental energy, he could carry out basic activities without any problem.

More than 200 teachers and students walked through the woods with anemone trees, collecting dead insect corpses.

Slightly stronger insects have large and small crystals condensed in their bodies.

Even if you are weak, your body is also a good source of energy. According to what you said before the time travel, it is full of protein.

Even if humans don't eat it, giving it to anemone or other spirit beasts is a high-quality supplement.

In the dark woods.

"Ah Chen, how is the condition of your heavily armored tree spirit?" Han Ning, who had just regained some energy, walked to Luo Chen, looked at the heavily armored tree spirit surrounded by green light, and asked with concern.

At this time, Yinyi was stretching out more than a dozen vines and attaching them to the heavily armored tree spirit, helping it repair the injuries cut by the sword.

"Fortunately, maybe that silver mantis was in a hurry to fight with your Yin Yi and did not kill him, so he survived by luck." Luo Chen let out a long breath, with fear on his face.

The injuries caused by the silver mantis were extremely difficult to repair. It took a lot of effort for Yin Yi to drive away all the silver light wrapped around the heavily armored tree spirit.

Including itself, it took a lot of effort to dispel the silver light at first.

"Tianhe, what about you?" Han Ning turned to look at Lin Tianhe, who was squatting in front of his tree spirit not far away.

However, he found that Lin Tianhe's expression was not as sad or anxious as expected, but instead full of surprise and joy.

"Han Ning, come here and take a look, I discovered Xiao Yu's new ability!" Lin Tianhe did not turn his head, but kept waving to Han Ning.

"What?"

Han Ning was stunned and walked over.

After Lin Tianhe's anemone tree evolved into a tree spirit, it was not as big as the tree spirit tree from Luo Chen's family, and it was not proficient in psychic powers. The only ability it showed that was different from ordinary trees was its good endurance.

Previously, the opponent this tree spirit fought was a carabiner surrounded by flames. It was unable to resist the flames of the carabiner and was seriously injured.

But at this moment, its branches burned by the flames gradually returned to brown color.

Densely packed tentacles were rooted among the insect corpses on the ground. On the bare branches, pieces of tender green leaves were growing outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The most surprising thing is that wisps of light green light are transmitted from the gray-white roots of Xiao Yu to the crown of the tree and to the ends of the branches. Fruits with green colors and round bodies slowly appear under the branches. get bigger.

"The result?" Han Ning asked in surprise.

"Well, Xiaoyu can actually absorb the energy of the soul beast's corpse and produce fruits on the branches, you see."

Lin Tianhe opened his palm, and a round fruit the size of an apple appeared in his palm.

A bite was taken off the surface of the fruit, revealing the light yellow flesh inside.

"Did you eat the fruit?" Han Ning's expression changed from surprise to weird.

"Yeah! Xiaoyu asked me to eat it."

Lin Tianhe recalled the taste of the fruit and explained,

"This fruit seems to help us regain our physical strength. I just took a bite and I felt a faint feeling of fullness in my stomach. The physical emptiness caused by the energy consumed by running before has also been slightly restored."

Xiaoyu is Lin Tianhe's soul beast. Since it actively asks its owner to eat, there shouldn't be any food safety issues.

It's just that the energy source of the fruit is obviously the insect corpses all over the ground. Just ignore this psychological barrier.

"So magical..."

Han Ning took the fruit from Lin Tianhe's hand, put it in his hand and rubbed it carefully.

The texture of the fruit is similar to that of ordinary fruit. When pinched gently, transparent juice will flow down the gaps in the pulp.

At the same time, a line of light blue fonts on the panel appeared in front of me: [Energy detected, absorb it? 】

Could it be that?

Han Ning's heart moved and she said:

"Tianhe, give this fruit to me. I happen to be hungry."

"I'll bring you a new one. The light rain is still fruiting, and everyone has one." Lin Tianhe said, picking a new fruit from the treetop and handing it to Han Ning, and then pulled the corpses of other smaller insects Get up and throw it to Xiao Yu.

"Well, thank you." Han Ning stuffed the pulp into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

During the chewing process, the system absorbs all the energy in the fruit.

【Energy +0.4】

0.4 energy…

He looked at the insect corpses on the ground below Xiao Yu.

The corpses of about 3-4 small insects appeared to be dry energy absorbed by the system, and their appearance became dry.

If these insects are absorbed by the system, each one will have about 0.2 energy, and the total will be 1 point of energy.

Lin Tianhe absorbed all the light rain and provided a total of 0.4 energy.

The absorption efficiency of ordinary soul beasts is only about 20% or 30%.

Although it is incomparable with the system, Xiaoyu's utilization rate of absorbed energy will be higher than other soul beasts.

The energy absorption rate of the system is basically over 99%. As long as it is sucked, the energy in the soul beast's corpse can be sucked dry, leaving only some weak energy in the flesh and blood tissue.

The utilization rate is about 10% higher than others, which must include its own consumption. Overall, it is already very powerful.

If everyone's soul beasts eat the fruits produced by Xiao Yu, or cultivate anemone trees in this direction, then the overall strength of the college will increase faster.

"A very powerful ability. It seems to be able to absorb the energy from the corpses of other soul beasts, produce fruits, and share them with other soul beasts."

Han Ning analyzed,

"Will the energy utilization rate of other soul beasts be higher after eating Xiaoyu's fruit? Later, you can call a few teachers from the academy and do a comparative experiment together."

"If it can eat, absorb, and grow energy more efficiently than ordinary soul beasts, we can cultivate a batch of anemone trees in the direction you cultivated Xiaoyu to help us improve our overall strength."

Specific growth data requires repeated comparative experiments several times before we can summarize the most accurate improvement range.

"Well, I get it. Do you want to give Xiaoyu's race a name? It's so awkward to keep calling the tree spirit tree spirit."

Lin Tianhe stroked Xiaoyu's branches with a thoughtful expression on his face, and then his eyes lit up,

"How about calling it the spirit-absorbing tree spirit? It absorbs the spiritual energy of other spirit beasts and produces fruits."

"Then let's call him Ji Ling Tree Spirit." Han Ning is also a bad namer himself and can't think of any other names for the time being.

It is obvious that the ability of the spirit tree spirit is more auxiliary than combat.

after awhile.

More than 200 teachers, students and anemone workers at the scene collected all the insect corpses scattered in the forest and the swamp outside.

Densely packed insect corpses piled up into a high hill, and blood of various colors flowed along the wounds to the ground, emitting a fishy smell.

On the other side of the pile of corpses is a small pile of crystal stones of different colors.

"While digging out insect crystals just now, I discovered an interesting phenomenon. All insects with relatively strong strength will condense a light green crystal in the brain. This crystal does not seem to be Other elements, but belong exclusively to insects.”

"In addition to this light green crystal, according to the different attributes displayed by the insect, there will also be a slightly smaller attribute crystal in a certain part of the body. This crystal is just like the stone we met. Same, it contains elemental power."

Lu Xiuning walked over with two crystal stones, one green and one red, in his hand like a plate of walnuts.

"So, the light green crystal should be called insect crystal, but I don't know what it is used for." Han Ning wondered.

At this time, Teacher Zhou picked up a branch and wrote the specific numbers of various crystal stones on the dark mud ground while talking.

"Guys, the spoils of this battle have been counted. We killed a total of 1,421 insects of varying strength. Among them, the number of insects that gave birth to crystals was 921. We harvested 921 light green crystals and 321 metallic crystals. There are 311 earth attribute crystals, 132 fire attribute crystals, 111 wood attribute crystals, 42 poison attribute crystals, and 32 pale crystals..."

Han Ning looked at the crystal stones shining with various lights in front of him, and felt the pleasure of the dragon for the first time.

"Although the battle was difficult, it was very rewarding."

According to legend, dragons like to collect sparkling precious treasures and hide them in their dragon caves.

Who doesn’t like shiny things.

"Are there any injured people or soul beasts?"

Soon, Han Ning looked away from the treasures on the floor and looked at the students around him.

"Fortunately, we hid far away and no one died. Only a dozen people were seriously injured because they were accidentally affected by the soul skills."

Teacher Fang, who was responsible for counting the wounded, said with a serious expression,

"There were more anemone trees killed or injured in battle. The anemone trees brought out from the academy were all weak. Most of them mutated three times. There were 212 trees in total. 32 trees were killed and nearly 100 trees were seriously injured. It can be said to be quite tragic. "

"The injured, killed, and Anemone have all returned to the academy early."
