National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 172 Explosion
"Giant Itchy Caterpillar!"

Lin Zhi moved his mind, and thousands of fairies flew out of the flowers of the Fairy Rose and flew into the void.

? ?
At this time, a ferocious-looking caterpillar flew over quickly.

The fairies held green branch staffs and waved their hands. Fireballs and ice cones ignited and froze the caterpillars.

Suddenly, Lin Zhi felt a sharp pain.

He suddenly discovered that the edges of the leaves of the plants growing on the soul soil in front of him were rapidly turning yellow.

"It's the void aphid!"

Lin Zhi's soul swept across a leaf and found that it was covered with thousands of insects that were invisible to the naked eye.

Through soul scanning, Lin Zhi discovered that these tiny insects quietly landed from the void on the tender green leaves of the spiritual plants in the soul soil.

Their bodies are slender, with a waxy texture on the surface, and are translucent and as green as emerald green.

Tiny straws extend from their mouths and gently insert into the epidermis of the leaves.

As the juice on the leaves of the extremely hard spiritual plants absorbed the liquid, it actually began to flow slowly.

Lin Zhi observed carefully and found that during this process, the aphids' mouthparts would secrete a special liquid.

This liquid can easily dissolve the cell walls of the spiritual plant leaves, allowing the void aphids to easily absorb the nutrients inside.

The leaves begin to turn yellow and wither because they lose some nutrients.

Because aphids are too tiny, they cannot be attacked using conventional means.

Combined with the attack on the spiritual plants, it is equivalent to hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred of your own.

However, the next scene made Lin Zhi look surprised.

I saw goblins flying in the soul land. They held magic wands and pointed them. Spots of light fell on the leaves of spiritual plants, and then spread out like water waves.

Suddenly, the aphids on the leaves were instantly eliminated.

It then turns into nutrients and is absorbed by the leaves of the spiritual plant.

Lin Zhi suddenly felt a joyful emotion coming from the spiritual plant.

"Yes, besides the harmful side, void pests also have their beneficial side."

Lin Zhi muttered to himself.

According to the alliance's records, after the pests in the divine environment are killed, their corpses are the best fertilizer for the growth of spiritual plants.

Pests can survive in the void and should not be underestimated.

At this time, pests that covered the sky and the sun emerged from the void above the Soul Land.

The transparent light shield separating the soul land from the void was easily penetrated by whiteflies, red spiders, leafhoppers, cabbage worms, cotton bollworms, corn borers, wireworms, cutworms, fruit flies, beet leaf moths, potato beetles...

Various void pests instantly filled the soul land space, and the spiritual plants launched various attacks, but these attacks directly penetrated the pests' bodies and had no effect.

Lin Zhi understood that as void pests, they possessed the same ability to adapt and evolve as zombies, and were naturally immune to attacks from most spiritual plants.

The spiritual plant withered in an instant and most of it was eaten.

However, Lin Zhi was well prepared. He took out four secret crystals.

As a gardener, every time you reach a higher level, you can learn secret arts through secret art crystals.

Before this, he had learned two secret techniques: "Leap" and "Speed".

Now that his cultivation has reached the Saint Crown, he can learn four more secret techniques.

He quickly refined the secret technique crystals one by one, and soon he mastered the secret technique.

Lin Zhi waved his hand, and the light flew towards these void pests.

Then came the aroma of barbecue.

I saw these pests falling in large numbers as the light swept across them.

"Yes, this secret technique - insect removal, is indeed useful!"

Then, he waved his hand, and a white mist enveloped the Soul Land space.

The pest flew into the white mist, became dizzy for a moment, and then fell to the ground.

This is a secret technique - Barrier Poison, a secret technique specifically used to deal with void pests. It is harmless to spiritual plants and humans, and only targets void pests.

You only need to release the barrier poison once a day to deal with most pests.

However, Lin Zhi discovered that there were still some termites invading the stems of the spiritual plants and the roots had not been eliminated.

So he moved his mind and activated Fang Siyao's celestial halo ability.

Halo 1: Celestial Halo - Wind

Effect: Every day, a breeze will blow in the soul land for 4.9 hours, purifying the spiritual plants from any erosion, pollution and termites.

As the ability was activated, most of the termites were completely eliminated.

There were only a few pests left in the source earth space, which were left to the fairy Rose.

Soon, all the pests in the soul soil were wiped out.

More pests were blocked outside the Soul Land by the white fog.

Then, he activated his second and third halo abilities.

Halo 2: Celestial Halo Rain

Effect: Every day, there will be 4.9 hours of sweet rain in the soul land, doubling the growth rate of spiritual plants.

Halo 3: Celestial Halo Snow

Effect: Every day, warm snow will float in the soul land for 4.9 hours, and the warm snow contains rare elements needed by spiritual plants.

Lin Zhi waved his hand and activated the secret technique "Ganlin".

Colorful auspicious clouds gathered above the Soul Land, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and rain began to fall.

Raindrops fell on the soul soil, and with the cooperation of the halo ability of rain and snow, the spiritual plants that were eaten into stems regenerated and quickly grew into new plants.

With the nutrients transformed from a large number of pest corpses, they did not become weaker, but became even stronger. The nine divine rings above their heads suddenly solidified.

boom!
Suddenly, Lin Zhi felt that the entire soul land was shaking.

He was horrified to find that the void was shaking. In the distance, a meteor streaked across the void and fell into an unknown depth.

Immediately, a terrifying beam of light burst out, illuminating the gray void nearby.

In an instant, Lin Zhi saw the outlines of countless world trees hidden in the darkness.

Worlds of different heights and distances are illuminated.

Then, a huge fireball burst out from the light column and flew towards them.

Lin Zhi was shocked to discover that the fireball was actually flying towards his soul land.

The Soul Land realm is located in the void outside the world, and within the light film formed by the World Tree, corresponding to the coordinate position in the world.

At this point, it was no longer possible for him to close the void realm and escape.

The only way is to withstand the fireball that passes through the world light film.

He quickly condensed the true spirit armor on his body, and then waved his hand, and a barrier nut like a wall with no end in sight appeared above his head.

Then, he activated Fuhua's replica halo and attached it to Nut.

Suddenly, six new nut walls appeared superimposed on top.

He activated Ma Jinyu's aura of encouragement again.

Halo 2: Encouragement Aura, Delay Aura

Effect: Within the 0.49-meter radius of the aura, your own spiritual plants gain a durability bonus, and the duration of instant skills is extended by +.

Halo 3: Inspiration Halo Ultra-Thin

Effect: Within the 4.9-meter radius of the aura, your own spiritual plants gain a toughness bonus, and will be locked in blood the moment they are about to be destroyed, and will be destroyed after seconds.

Halo 4: Encouragement Aura - Self-Healing
Effect: Within the 4.9-meter radius of the aura, your own spiritual plants gain a self-healing bonus and can continuously repair % of their own damage per second.

At this moment, the fireball broke through the world's light film, paused for a moment, and then crashed down hard the next moment.
