Dawn Spider

Chapter 59: The Greedy Evil Spirit

4 raw stones, 40 large bags, took the owner of Sikui Mountain two trips to transport back and piled them under the mound where the wild Chinese pokeweed seeds given by God took root.

Jin has a lot to do every day.

In the morning, he stayed under the mound where the taro was buried, consuming Force food, digesting Force energy, and brewing evolution.

It takes nearly two hours in the afternoon to use the raw stones to replenish the original force of the seeds given by the Shanglu God.

At night, he continued to meditate under the mound where the taro was buried.

Day after day, suddenly one day,
In the afternoon, dark clouds gathered.
In the evening, heavy rain fell from the sky.

Midnight,

Close to the stone pillar of the climbing frame, Jin, who was meditating, suddenly woke up, jumped up and looked towards the top of the mound.

A sharp, ochre-red tip emerged from the soil, rising rapidly like a bamboo shoot in the face of the heavy rain. The ochre-red on the tip quickly faded, transforming into tender yellow and green...

A petiole, supporting a young leaf curled into a cone, slowly lengthened...

"The God-given evil spirit has come back!"

"Need some rain stimulation?"

Jin was surprised, then alert, silently extracting spider silk from his abdomen, making it into 'spider silk bullets', and entering combat mode.

The first petiole grew to more than one meter long, and the broad taro leaves slowly unfolded in the rain.

Another petiole, supporting the curled young leaves, grew slowly, and the taro leaves unfolded.

The third petiole, the third taro leaf.

……

The regrowth of this God-given evil spirit is obviously not as good as the golden leaf vine strengthened by the life capsule, and its growth rate is much slower.

At dawn, the rain stopped.

The sixth taro leaf slowly stretched out in the morning light, as if the energy stored in the taro was exhausted. The petiole of the seventh taro leaf only grew a little and then stopped.

Compared with the previous one, there is one less taro leaf and the overall size is also smaller.

There is loss, and the loss is not small.

The revealed energy also seemed very weak, on the verge of exhaustion.

Jin, who was on high alert, relaxed his guard slightly.

After all, it's just a plant, and only at the intermediate level, so I can't imagine what kind of offensive capabilities it has. The only thing we need to be on guard against is preventing it from escaping.

really,

The God-given evil spirit had long noticed Jin's presence and, having completed its rebirth, immediately pulled its roots out from the ground, wriggling and moving swiftly, only to discover that the abominable little creature was also moving with it, much faster than itself...

The God-given evil spirit remembered clearly that it was a large creature that had captured it, along with a group of terrifying large creatures...

If this little guy is here, then the big guys must be here too.

It's over. It's over. There's no escape.

The God-given evil spirit panicked, concentrating its senses, only to feel even more desperate. This was a completely unfamiliar environment, and it couldn't sense any of its kind nearby...

Where was I caught?
...

...

Jin manipulated two spider silk threads, hesitating whether to tie it up.

But what happens after you tie it up? You can't keep tying it up forever, right?
The most important question is, what is the point of holding this thing?
Raise it? See if it can grow and evolve quickly, and then see if it can blossom and bear fruit, generating income?

Can I still divide the herb? What benefits can I get from herbal plants without division?
"Although I've become a fierce spirit, I'm still a plant after all. I still have to take root in the soil, draw nutrients from the soil, absorb the sun's energy to grow, and absorb the Force to evolve..."

Thinking of this, Jin had an idea and ran back to the mound. He manipulated the spider silk rope and took out a raw stone from the spider silk bag under the stone pillar. He rolled it up and slowly floated it closer to the God-given evil spirit.

Notice something approaching.

The God-given evil spirit instinctively swung its roots and rolled over. The moment it touched, it sensed something strange. This thing contained the power it needed most...

The roots of the God-given evil spirit coiled around and around, wrapping up the original stone. After trying it twice, he was surprised to find that he could extract the power inside.

The evil spirit transformed from the God-given seed was not as frenzied as ordinary evil spirits that only knew how to attack. It had a certain amount of wisdom and stopped running away.

Seeing this situation, Jin thought to himself that there was a chance. He manipulated the spider silk again, took out a raw stone, controlled it, and slowly floated it closer and landed next to the other party.

The evil spirit bestowed by God rudely extended a root and rolled up the raw stone.

The God-given evil spirit has four main roots, from which numerous small and medium-sized roots and several capillary roots are derived.

Jin simply took out two more raw stones and approached them in a controlled manner.

The God-given evil spirit took it all in, and the four main roots coiled into four balls.

Jin waited patiently.

After a long time,

A taproot unfurled, swaying toward Jin.

"..."

Jin manipulated the spider silk, rolled up four of them and threw them over.

The God-given evil spirit shook its tentacles, greedily took it all in, and hid under its roots.

Jin exerted his mental power and glanced at the spider silk bag. There were only 14 spider silk beads left in it. He simply thought about it and controlled the spider silk bag to float and land in front of the God-given evil spirit.

The God-given evil spirit roots rummaged through the bag to check, paused, thought, and then the curled roots unfolded and took root in the soil again. Then, the root tips poked out of the soil, one by one, pulling the original stones into the ground and hiding them.

"..."

Jin stood ten meters away, motionless, and continued to observe.

The God-given evil spirit quickly recovered its original energy through the raw stone, while absorbing nutrients from the soil and the morning light to restore its physical strength.

In the middle of the morning, the petiole of the seventh taro leaf began to grow. The original stone was exhausted.

Seeing that it had no intention of running away, Jin quickly ran to the Shanglu God-given seeds, took out a whole bag of 100 raw stones, and placed them directly on top of the mound.

The God-given evil spirit was sure that this little guy would not hurt himself, so he did not hesitate at all. He pulled out roots from the soil, crawled up the mound, and took root next to the spider silk bag. The tips of the roots kept protruding from the ground, and one by one, he pulled all 100 raw stones into the soil, hid them deep in the soil, and enjoyed them slowly.

At dusk,
The seventh taro leaf given by God to the evil spirit unfolds.

Midnight,

The eighth taro leaf of the God-given evil spirit emerged.

Its power level returned to the level when it was first captured.

Still constantly drawing the Force from the raw stone.

The next day,

Absorbing light energy, the petiole of the eighth taro leaf begins to grow.

At noon, the eighth taro leaf unfolds, and at the same time, the ninth taro leaf emerges and the petiole grows.

When it got dark, the ninth taro leaf unfolded, as if it had reached its growth limit, or a complete intermediate level, and the tenth taro leaf did not appear.

The height of the plant stagnated at just over 1.6 meters, forming a lush clump.

After two days of close contact, the God-given evil spirit obviously no longer had the fear and vigilance it had before.

Jin tried to climb up the mound, but the other party did not respond.

"Hello~"

Jin tried to send a friendly psychic thought.

"Wow~Wow~"

The God-given evil spirit shook the two taro leaves at the bottom as a response.

"My name is Jin."

Jin tried to introduce himself.

"Wow~"

The God-given evil spirit shook the taro leaves again.

"My name is Jin."

"Jin, my name, my title."

Jin continued to introduce himself.

"..."

The God-given evil spirit remained motionless.

Jin decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing communication.

The God-given evil spirit can sense mental power and distinguish the emotional fluctuations in mental power, but it itself has no soul, no mental power, cannot communicate, and may not even be able to accurately understand the meaning contained in the mental power.

——Now that we're familiar with each other, you shouldn't run away, right?
——It’s been two days and Yin hasn’t come here to check on me.

——It’s time to notify the Lord of Sikui Mountain. Should I go and look for them?

This guy is very sensitive, don't scare him. Let's wait a few days.

Jin pondered over it, took another close look at the God-given evil spirit, turned around and walked down the mound, but felt some movement behind him.

He swept his mental power backwards and turned slowly.

I saw the roots of the evil spirit given by God wriggling, moving the raw stones hidden in the soil out one by one.

"The growth state has reached its peak. Is there no need for the original stone?"

Jin was puzzled and said, "Keep it for yourself."

"..."

The God-given evil spirit dragged the raw stones into the soil one by one.

Jin turned around again and heard movement behind him again.

As if the evil spirit given by God was sick, it moved the raw stones out of the soil one by one...

There were only 7 raw stones in total, which were constantly moved out and pulled back into the soil.

Jin was confused for a long time, and then a light bulb went off in his head and he suddenly understood.

“It may be trying to express that there are not many rough stones left.”

"Over a hundred raw stones, and in two days, only seven are left?"

"I was recovering from my injuries over the past two days, and then I started growing rapidly, so I consumed a lot of raw stones. I don't think this will happen again in the future."

Jin hesitated for a moment, then quickly ran down the hill, took 100 seeds from the divinely gifted Chinese smilax glabra, and placed them on the mound.

as predicted,

The god-given evil spirit pushed the taro leaves hard, making a rustling sound, and then stuffed them into the soil one by one.

With quick movements, he hid all 100 raw stones in the soil.

Jin moved closer and scanned the ground with his mental power, only to find that it was not being used.

"This guy also hoards food?"

"It seems that he is still very greedy..."

Jin was speechless for a while, thought for a while, turned around and walked down the mound, picked up two God-given Force foods, and ate them to digest.
