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

Chapter 73 Shocking Change
Aoki Forest, Ten Thousand Peaks Mountains.

On a towering peak, a handsome middle-aged man stood in front of a huge camphor tree that was as high as the mountain.

This camphor tree is hundreds of times larger than the one Lin Zhi had seen at the Sparrow Army Camp headquarters before.

The huge brain-like fruits in its crown are crystal clear and constantly sparkling.

The handsome middle-aged man's eyes seemed to penetrate the clouds covering the peak below and look at the rolling mountains and land that stretched for nearly ten thousand miles.

Legions were trapped in a huge "fog magic carpet".

At this moment, countless indigenous orcs and human warriors were fighting each other.

Their blood flowed like a river and their corpses were everywhere.

Blood stained the ground, and some strange patterns flickered.

The human army built a series of fortresses and strongholds with the Great Wall to resist the attacks of the indigenous people.

The destroyed Great Wall barriers, psychic towers, field tanks, fighter jets, etc. turned into streams of light, flew into the sky, and sank into the mountains and the fruits of the intelligent camphor tree.

Then, the soul message of surprise came out from these fruits.

"Captain Ji Hua, you... you are still alive?"

However, the handsome man smiled slightly, waved his hand, and picked the fruit that was filled with the gardener's heroic spirit.

Then he took out a syringe of green solution, in which countless ant-sized insect shadows were floating visible to the naked eye.

"Leader...Leader?"

"For the sake of civilization, you don't mind being heroes again?"

The handsome man smiled and injected the solution into the fruit.

Then he put away the fruit and continued to check the battlefield below.

All I saw were powerful warriors with divine rings fighting against powerful orcs from the enemy. The battle between the two sides caused the sky to collapse and the earth to split, leaving no one living within a hundred miles.

The spiritual plants that were as tall as skyscrapers exuded tremendous power, and the ancient beasts, under the control of the orc gardeners, fought with the spiritual plants.

Blood and fire were flying in the sky, and dust and smoke were filling the earth.

Suddenly, an orc god ring gardener fell to the ground, and the light of his self-explosion obliterated a mountain below, turning tens of thousands of warriors from both sides into ashes.

The next moment, a human divine ring gardener was split into two halves by the suddenly appearing mantis, and his true spirit escaped instantly. His body also exploded, clearing out the enemies below the surrounding divine environment.

On the battlefield, those below the Holy Crown are cannon fodder who will die at the slightest touch. The Holy Crowns are as numerous as dogs, and the divine rings are everywhere.

The powerful warriors with divine rings and half-step legendary combat power were in the higher sky. Every time they clashed, there were lightning and thunder, and cracks appeared faintly in the space.

In the center of the high-altitude battle, a green dragon was flying in the clouds, its body covered with green algae-like wriggling plants, and colorful mushrooms were growing wildly.

On the head of the Qinglong dragon, an old forked tree was growing vigorously. The bare crown had no leaves, and blood ganoderma grew on it. Its main root emerged from under the Qinglong's nose and turned into two gray and wrinkled dragon whiskers.

Behind the old tree, a prominent fishman was holding a steel fork and controlling a green dragon to pounce on the nearest armored old man.

Suddenly, the old man was locked, rust and fungus grew on his armor. As the Azure Dragon approached, countless tentacles suddenly appeared in the void and wrapped around him.

"cut!"

The old man shouted loudly and pulled out a pineapple-like plant from the source earth field. The bottom of the golden pineapple seemed to be hollowed out, just enough to accommodate a fist. At the top of the pineapple grew a 30-meter-long red stem and leaf.

The blood-sword-like stems and leaves bloom layer by layer like flowers, like a cluster of burning flames.

The old man swung his sword vigorously, and the Fire Pineapple Sword cut off the tentacles in the void and chopped down towards the head of the Azure Dragon.

The sword flashes as fast as lightning and as swift as thunder.

嗡

The old tree above Qinglong's head burst into light, and a barrier unfolded to block the sword light.

At this time, the old man did not retreat but advanced. The armor behind him burst out with a rocket-like thrust and smashed towards the Azure Dragon like a cannonball. He waved the fire sword Pineapple in his hand, cutting off the tentacles one by one.

"burst"

As the fish-man chanted mysterious words, more fungus spots appeared on the old man's armor, which quickly weathered into quicksand. Without the protection of armor, mushrooms began to grow on his flesh.

The old man's body suddenly froze, and Qinglong took the opportunity to hit him with his head and passed through his chest.

"Brother Tang!"

A white-haired old man fought off the wild beast that was fighting with him and rushed over.

However, Qinglong's pupils burst into dazzling light, and his figure was suddenly fixed in the air.

Behind the white-haired old man, a white tiger appeared from thin air, opened its bloody mouth, bit him in half, and swallowed him whole.

The clouds follow the dragon and the wind follows the tiger.

High in the sky, the indigenous orcs controlled the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger like two peerless war gods, and they were able to easily defeat dozens of half-step legendary fighters on the human side.

"Brother Li, there are too many spiritual plants symbiotically growing on these two wild beasts, and their abilities are absolutely flawless!"

"Mr. Sun, let's attract their attention..."

The human half-step legends had to deal with the strong among the indigenous people while also preventing attacks from the two wild beasts, the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger.

For a time, humans were at a disadvantage.

……

Time goes back to three days ago.

Lin Zhi watched the Vermilion Bird perched on the Qingtong Tree soar into the sky and land on the back of a Black Turtle.

Then, it instantly burned itself and turned into a point of spiritual light.

Immediately, hundreds of mountains in the secret realm lit up with hundreds of rays of light, shining in this spiritual light.

The spiritual light quickly expanded and transformed into a huge bird shadow.

The glowing mountain peaks quickly turned from vibrant green to dead gray and black.

Under Lin Zhi's feet, Xuanwu explained, "Our clan used the source of life to help it be reborn. As long as it becomes a fire phoenix, it will have the ability to destroy the altar. Then, the secret realm will be shattered."

"What will happen if the secret realm is broken?"

A bad thought arose in Lin Zhi's mind.

"Everything in the secret realm will be destroyed, or it will turn into meteors along with the broken fragments of the secret realm and fall into the main world."

The black tortoise seemed to see Lin Zhi's worry and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you safely out of the secret realm at the cost of my life."

"So that I can escort the new world sapling?" Lin Zhi asked.

"That's the first thing. The second is to protect the Fire Phoenix's true spirit."

The black tortoise then explained

"Fire Wind will be destroyed along with the altar. At the moment of destruction, it will acquire the true status of a legend. You need to use Qifeng Qingtong to collect its true spirit. The true spirit of the legendary status is enough to represent one-fifth of our civilization. As long as it is there, it is equivalent to our civilization not being completely destroyed, and the world tree of our civilization cannot be completely eroded."

"I understand, but you..." Lin Zhi couldn't help but look at the Black Turtle Clan that was completely turning into a dead mountain.

"The true spirit needs a compatible medium to be placed. Our clan will be annihilated along with this secret realm!"

"Maybe I have a way!"

Lin Zhi narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

If according to Black Turtle's statement, he grafted the sapling of the Wild Beast World Tree onto the World Tree of his own civilization, then the Wild Beast Clan would become a vassal of human civilization.

Taking the summoning spirit plant as an example, it is to fight through the vassal races without worrying about the rebellion of the vassal races controlled by the world tree.

If what the Black Turtle said is true, after Huofeng turns into a true spirit, he will be captured by Qifeng Qingtong and will completely become Qifeng Qingtong's vassal.

So, is there a spiritual plant that can capture the true spirit of the black turtle?
There are endless types of spiritual plants, and Lin Zhi doesn't know if there are any, but it doesn't matter. As long as he has the idea, he can leave the rest to the selection system. If there are, he might be given the corresponding choice.

So, under the puzzled gaze of the black turtle, Lin Zhi took out a spirit seed.
