Astral Sand Locust

One point of divine power produced by the divine realm was surplus and allocated to the seed bestowed by the god of the Rain Tree Flower Crown Pillar.

The tree quickly reached a height of about 13.5 meters.

After observing for seven or eight days, the sand locust tree clearly felt that the Rain Tree Flower Crown Pillar God-given Seed had reached this height and seemed to be stuck, making it extremely difficult for it to continue growing upwards.

The three insects teamed up and returned to the Green Tree Mountains territory, where they immediately discovered the growth and changes of the Rain Tree Flower Crown Pillar God-given Seed.

The beetle was overjoyed to confirm that the true God of Nature had indeed bestowed divine gifts as scheduled, with intervals of 40 days.

The sand locust and the wild bean were much calmer, unfazed by the sight.

After a short rest,

Mudou and Beike continued their journey to Black Mountain to dig for raw stones.

The sand locust continued to search in all directions, clockwise, looking for the divinely bestowed seeds.

...

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Still no results.

I thought I would find the divinely bestowed seed easily, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

Sha Huai couldn't help but wonder if insects had appeared.

...

The Kingdom of God has a surplus of divine power.

Sha Huai was meticulous and had already planned it out, directly assigning it to Mu Dou's seedlings.

"Sand locust tree!"

"Sand locust! Sand locust!"

The neighbor planted a tree next door, and the bean spirit surged, shouting with ecstatic joy:

"A gift from nature! Sand locust! Come and see! The true god of nature has bestowed upon the Bean Seedlings the power to grow!"

Sha Huai: "..."

Didn't you say you were indifferent to everything?

Why are you more excited than anyone else when it's actually your turn to be born?

"Mudou, your Mudou life seed is growing rapidly too?"

"Yes. The divine power of growth bestowed by the true God of Nature!"

"oh--"

"The timing is perfect. It's been exactly 40 days since the last time the Rain Tree Flower Crown Pillar was granted the divine power to grow its seed?"

"I remember. 40 days."

"The Rain Tree's crown-like stem is a seed bestowed by the gods?"

"Yes! Sha Huai, go and take a look."

Mu Dou ran towards the warehouse on the hillside.

The sand locust tree leaped into the air and flew to the foot of the rain tree, whose crown was a gift from the gods.

The seashell is using its ability to gather mist, watering the various ordinary plants on the hill.

"Shahuai, what brings you here so late at night?"

The sand locust tree, feigning seriousness, straightened its front legs and stared intently at the divinely bestowed seed of the rain tree's crown, scanning it with its spiritual power. Then, with a hint of excitement, it said:

"The true god of nature has bestowed upon the Bean Seedlings the power to grow! The Bean Seedlings have entered a state of rapid growth."

"What?"

"Just now! The Bean Seedling received a gift from the God of Nature."

Why?

"..."

"Exactly 40 days apart? What about the rain tree flower crown pillar divinely bestowed seed?"

"I don't know."

The sand locust tree swayed its antennae innocently.

The seashell calmed down, drooped its tentacles, and pondered.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Sha Huai kicked off and jumped, hopping and skipping towards the direction of Mu Dou Ming Zhong.

"I'm going to help Mu Dou."

"Wait for me!"

Shell snapped out of her daze and quickly followed.

The Bean Tree is about 22 meters tall, which is already a very large tree. As the base size increases, the resistance also increases.

A problem has been discovered: the Mudou Life Seed is now at the intermediate level, with a higher level of primal energy. The primal force required for its rapid growth has increased significantly, causing it to frantically extract primal force from the surrounding natural environment.

Mu Dou and Bei Ke quickly offered their help.

In just one night and one day, the original force and vitality within the branches of the Bean Life Seed reached a new balance, and the rapid growth trend ended.

In just one day, the 1 point of divine power was completely digested.

It also cost more than two hundred raw stones.

The tree's height only increased from 22 meters to 23 meters.

The growth brought by this 1 point of divine power is only equivalent to about 3 months of natural growth for the Mudou Life Seed.

It's not that the divine power's effect has weakened.

Instead, the tree grows taller, its branches thicker, its leaves increase, and its underground root system grows and spreads more extensively, resulting in a balanced increase in the overall size of the tree, but the effectiveness of each point of divine power remains constant.

Currently, 1 point of divine power accelerates the rapid growth of the Bean Seedling, increasing its height by about 1 meter.

Naturally growing, the Mudou species can grow to a height of three to four meters in a year.

When it grows to 30 to 35 meters, it will reach its limit, stop growing, accumulate primordial energy substances, enhance primordial energy characteristics, and prepare for a breakthrough.

When Mudou breaks through to Advanced Warrior, Mudou's Life Seed will also break through simultaneously, advancing to a higher level, with the tree's maximum height increasing to 50 to 60 meters, ushering in a new growth period.

Of course, for Zerg warriors, the greatest benefit of Force Plants increasing tree height is that it simultaneously increases the number of flowers and fruits, thus increasing yield.

...

...

The sand locust tree was in a hurry.

There are now plenty of high-quality evolutionary resources, but because there is no suitable destiny species, they are stuck at the 1st age and cannot evolve.

Centered on the Green Tree Mountain Range, conduct continuous, clockwise searches.

I still can't find it.

Time flies, another month and a half has passed.

The search and rescue team has almost completed a comprehensive investigation covering a radius of 400 kilometers.

Suddenly one night,

A fierce wind arose, dark clouds gathered, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and torrential rain poured down.

This year's rainy season came earlier than in the previous three years.

The search for the divinely ordained seed had to be terminated as a result.

This is the end.

Sha Huai had no choice but to give up and turn back.

...

Green Trees Mountain Territory.

In broad daylight, Mu Dou and Bei Ke guarded the Rain Tree Flower Crown Pillar, a tree bestowed by the gods.

Sha Huai could tell something was up at a glance and guessed about 70-80% of it.

Glide rapidly closer.

The seashell, seeing this from afar, jumped up excitedly and waved its antennae vigorously to signal its presence.

"Sand locust! Sand locust!"

"Shahuai, you're back?"

"Um."

"Have you found the divinely given seed?"

"No. Shell, Mumu, this is...?"

"The Rain Tree Flower Crown Pillar, a divinely bestowed seed, is breaking through to the intermediate level!"

"There was a torrential downpour the night before last, and it seems like the thunderstorm triggered it. At dawn, it suddenly started absorbing primal energy like crazy, initiating a breakthrough evolution."

"Beike and I were busy all day yesterday, and I didn't sleep well last night. It wasn't until this morning that it absorbed enough Force."

"800 Originium Gems were used!"

"oh--"

As expected, the Rain Tree Flower Crown Pillar's Divine Gift Seed has broken through to the intermediate level.

Having absorbed enough primal energy, it is currently in a stable state and is brewing primal energy sublimation, seeking a breakthrough.

Wild, divinely bestowed seeds not only grow slowly, but also have a much harder time evolving than cultivated plants, and even carry a significant risk of sudden death.

The sand locust tree, along with the beans and seashells, stood guard under the tree.

The three insects circled the seed bestowed by the gods around the crown of the rain tree, standing in an equilateral triangle position about 30 meters away from the main trunk.

Sha Huai also picked up a raw stone and slowly scraped it, releasing the primal force evenly and gradually.

A day passed,

One night passed,

As another day was about to end, a strong wind suddenly rose, howling and howling, and dark clouds obscured the setting sun in the west, turning the sky dark in an instant.

Splash,

A sudden downpour began.

The barren land, which had been scorched by the blazing sun all day, suddenly cooled down rapidly.

Moisture, carrying a unique earthy aroma, rises from the ground, making the dry air moist and comfortable.

In the rain curtain,

Suddenly,

The three insects—sand locust, bean, and shell—simultaneously raised their antennae and stood up.

At the heart of the Rain Tree, one meter above the ground, a more concentrated primal energy was born from the divinely bestowed seed, the crown pillar of the Rain Tree.

Like a spark igniting a pile of dry firewood, the entire tree's primal energy converged towards the core of the trunk, undergoing fusion and sublimation.

"Raw stone!"

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

"We've broken through!"

"Quick! Use the Primal Stones to replenish your Primal Force!"

Sha Huai was the first to react, and shouted with a burst of mental energy.

The three insects hurriedly retrieved the raw stone, held it with their claws, and scraped it vigorously. Large clumps of primal force were released and rose, only to be instantly absorbed by the divine seed bestowed by the Rain Tree Flower Crown Pillar.

This state lasted for almost half the night.

This state gradually slows down, stabilizing and returning to calm by late at night. It then begins to rapidly and steadily absorb natural primal forces, transforming them into intermediate-level primal energy. The trunk, branches, and leaves complete their final primal energy transformation under the nourishment of this intermediate-level primal energy.

Two days later,

The Rain Tree, with its crown-shaped crown, was given a divine blessing, and the entire tree was transformed, successfully advancing to the intermediate level.

The evolution of the Force has ended.

...

How much can the advancement of the Rain Tree Flower Crown Pillar God-given Seed increase the rate at which the divine power is produced in the divine realm?

Will the enhancement effect be as predicted, equivalent to a low-level life seed?

Therefore, according to the calculation, the time for the divine kingdom to produce divine power during the rainy season should be shortened from the original 9.5 days to 8.8 days.

Rounded up, it's 9 days.

The time it takes for the Kingdom of God to produce divine power during the dry season should be shortened from the original 12.5 days to 11 days.

What's the actual situation? We'll have to do some statistics to find out.

...

As the rainy season begins,

The Divine Kingdom accelerates the production of 1 point of Divine Power.

The sand locust tree arranged to use the seeds bestowed by the golden tortoise god, and began to accurately record the time required for the divine country to produce 1 point of divine power.

at the same time,

The new year's cutting propagation plan has officially begun.

The seashells followed the sand locust and the bean, traveling far to collect branches of various plants.

Seashells can also help carry branches.

Collection efficiency doubled.

Seashells can also help with drilling and backfilling.

The efficiency of cutting propagation is doubled.

The seashell can also utilize its water-based abilities to irrigate the cuttings the moment they are planted...

That's unnecessary.

There is no shortage of water during the rainy season.

A sudden downpour at night can drench the entire wasteland.

Half a month has passed in a flash.

The fruit of the bean plant is harvested when it is ripe.

Pick and eat at the same time.

The shell is old and eager to evolve.

Shell stayed in the Green Tree Mountains, ignoring its own territory and species, all for the Force food available there.

Eat the shellfish first.

If there were any left, Mu Dou would pick them up and eat some.

Eat it all, and you'll save yourself the trouble of drying and storing it.

The Bean-eating Seeds here have just finished eating.

Meanwhile, the golden tortoise divine seed entered its mature harvest season.

3049 capsules, 12196 divinely bestowed golden beetles.

They devoured the shellfish.

At the same time, the seeds of the Bean Tree, the Golden Turtle, and the Rain Tree Flower Column began to flower and bear fruit one after another.

The seeds of the sand locust also sprouted flower buds, but they were cut off by the sand locust as soon as they appeared.

The life seed for the intermediate warrior stage of the Sand Locust Tree is still undetermined, its evolution has stagnated, and there is an endless supply of divinely bestowed bloodwood seeds and cedar seeds across the Qiongshu River.

There is currently no shortage of evolutionary resources.

The locust tree should not be planted in a hurry to flower and bear fruit. Conserve energy and nutrients, focus on growing the tree first, and see how things go next rainy season.

...

The statistics on the rate at which divine power is produced in the divine kingdom have also been obtained.

Just as Sha Huai calculated, during the rainy season, it produced 1 point of divine power every 9 days for four consecutive times.

The fourth point of divine power produced during the rainy season was allocated by the Sand Locust to the White Thorn Life Seed.

The depleted primal energy of the White Thorn Life Seed instantly returned to its full strength, and overnight, a large number of flower buds sprouted on the tree.

However, neither Mu Dou nor the Shell noticed the changes in the white thorn species.

The shell is making a full-speed sprint, preparing for its age-related evolution.

...

On the 49th day of the rainy season,

The shell was ready and went deep into the mountain's interior to store in a warehouse, where it fell into a deep sleep.

Shahuai and Mudou guarded the cave entrance, using Primal Stones to help replenish their Primal Force.

5 days later,

The shell awoke from its slumber and successfully completed its breakthrough.

A 6-year-old intermediate-level mist armored warrior!

Its body length has increased from just over half a meter to just over 0.7 meters, and it has also gained a lot of weight.

After being stuck at age 5 for many years, I finally broke through!

The seashell was filled with emotion.

"Is that the White Thorn Life Seed over there at the foot of the mountain?"

"yes."

"The white thorn seedlings have bloomed?"

"Obviously."

"It seems to have also received the blessing of the true God of Nature."

"When Shahuai and I were beginner warriors, we mainly evolved by eating white thorn berries. We don't need them, so you can eat all the shells later."

"Shell, you are the insect truly blessed by the God of Nature! Originally, the White Thorn Life Seed had ceased to flower and bear fruit due to the loss of its primal force and life force. But as soon as you arrived, it received a divine gift and began to flower and bear fruit again."

"It is obvious that the divine gift was given for you, and the white thorn flower blooms for you."

"Well..."

Beike had long harbored this suspicion.

Now, seeing the white thorn seed blooming profusely, it can be completely confirmed that the true god of nature is following him, bestowing various divine gifts to solve the problems of growth and evolution.

"It seems so."

Unable to refute, the seashell changed the subject, asking, "Sand locust, bean, is the rainy season in the wasteland not over yet?"

The sand locust and the bean tree shook their antennae in unison.

"no."

"The rainy season came exceptionally early this year."

"According to the pattern, the duration will also be particularly long."

"The White Thorn has said that the longest rainy season it has ever experienced lasted 66 days."

"It might take another two weeks to finish."

"Two more weeks? Then..."

Actually, Shell had always been somewhat worried about its territory. After completing its evolution, it suddenly felt an urgent need to return, so it subtly inquired:

"Mudou, you've been in your third-instar stage for half a year now, can you evolve into your fourth-instar stage now?"

"Sure! Right now!"

Mu Dou became eager, straightened its antennae, shook them vigorously, and said, "Shell, hurry up and eat to replenish your energy. Sha Huai and I are packing our bags, and we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

"good!"

Shell happily agreed.

"not good……"

The sand acacia tree raised its paw in acknowledgment and said, "I want to find the divinely bestowed seed!"

Both Mu Dou and Beike were taken aback.

Mu Dou said, "The Bloodwood Plains are lush with vegetation, so isn't the probability of divinely bestowed seeds being born there higher? Go look over there."

The sand locust tree shook its antennae and said, "The place is too small. I'll finish searching in a few days, and then I'll have nothing to do."

Sha Huai added, "There's also the round trip, which will waste at least half a month. All things considered, going with you will waste more than a month of my time."

"Are there that many?"

Mu Dou pondered silently, then looked at the seashell.

shell:"……"

Shell hesitated and said, "Well, finding the divinely bestowed seed is more important, so let's not go together, Acacia."

...

Mu Dou and Beike searched for raw stones together. The raw stones they found were kept separately by each of them, and the items were temporarily stored in the cave warehouse.

They keep accounting records.

The shell used 211 raw stones for this stage of evolution, which needs to be recorded and deducted.

How many Primogems would it take for Mudou to evolve in the Qiongshu River territory?

How many raw seashells were transported back to the Qiongshu River territory?

Mudou is now a 3-year-old intermediate-level giant flat armored warrior with a body length of 70 centimeters. Compared to its 2-year-old stage, its carrying capacity has increased significantly.

The shell is 60 centimeters long, and its carrying capacity is not to be underestimated.

The three worms huddled together, discussed the matter, and began preparations.

A simple net was woven from the fibers of yucca leaves to hold 500 raw stones.

Mudou was specifically responsible for transporting the raw stones.

Shells are used to carry and store food.

After spending half an afternoon and a night making various preparations, the two insects set off early in the morning.

The sand locust then kicked off, took off, flapped its wings, and flew westward toward the Green Tree Mountains.
