Dawn Spider

Chapter 77 The Metamorphosis of the Golden Leaf Vine

Liquid food is quickly digested and absorbed, restoring physical and mental energy.

Jin briefly examined himself and found that his body size hadn't increased much, from 50 centimeters to nearly 60 centimeters.

With its mental energy fully activated, the detection range extended in a straight line, increasing from 30 meters to just over 40 meters. The detection became more solid and detailed, with stronger penetration and clearer scanning.

Similarly, the body's primal energy becomes thicker and more solid, allowing for the initial release of primal energy.

Breaking through from the beginner to the intermediate level, both mental strength and primal energy undergo a qualitative transformation.

It is clear that speed, strength, shell strength, and overall physical condition have all improved dramatically.

— Taken together, the overall combat power has almost doubled!
—Right now, I should be able to easily conquer the sky blue.

Jin silently assessed.

Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Lord Sikui Mountain, it took me a long time to break through, didn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Sikui Mountain showed a look of trepidation and said, "5 days!"

"Fourth Brother, you haven't woken up yet, it's scared us to death. Taro is so worried..."

"Crash! Crash!"

The taro leaves make a sound when they shake.

Yin continued, "It must be because of the Golden Leaf Vine that 4000 Primal Stones were used!"

"!!!"

Jin was startled upon hearing this.

"Alright. The raw stone is a minor matter; it's good that the spider is alright."

Looking at the golden vine seeds that had completely lost their seed-like appearance, the master of Sikui Mountain felt uneasy and called out again, "Let's go down the mountain together and hurry up and plant the golden vines to see what changes have occurred."

Jin stood up and said, "Go down the mountain."

...

...

The setting sun melts gold, and the dusk clouds merge together.

On the mound where the golden vines of Shannan take root, the taro plants are also busy, being thoroughly watered.

The owner of Sikui Mountain brought over two large bags of raw stones, ready to proceed.

Jin climbed up the mound alone, spat out the seeds of the golden vine, dug a hole to bury them, and poured in a bucket of fertilizer.

The seeds revive under the stimulation of water and soil, and quickly take root and sprout.

Jin immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The tips of the sprouts emerging from the soil have become thinner.

Then it was discovered that the growth rate was much slower than before.

The mountain lord of Sikui Mountain and Yin, who were watching from a distance, also noticed something amiss.

"Jin, what happened?"

The Lord of Sikui Mountain asked.

"I don't know~"

Jin's mind raced. He couldn't understand what was going on or how to deal with it, so he simply picked up a raw stone and began to scrape it at high speed to release his primal force.

All the Force was absorbed by the newly grown, slender vines.

However, the growth rate of the golden vine did not increase, and the vines remained thin and weak.

It took about ten minutes for it to grow only about one meter tall.

A change beyond comprehension appeared; on the vines and leaves, a layer of ice crystal-like primal force patterns emerged, gradually becoming clearer.

Seeing this, Jin's anxious heart calmed down, and he shouted with his spiritual power, "It should be alright. The Golden Leaf Vine has undergone some kind of transformation. It may be similar to the divinely bestowed seed of pokeweed, and the plant's size has shrunk significantly."

Hearing this, the taro plant, which had been standing upright, loosened its four roots and settled firmly into the soil.

"Oh!"

Lord Sikui and Yin understood to some extent, but then became even more worried.

"Fourth Brother, doesn't that mean that in the future, the Golden Leaf Vine, like the Divine Seed of Pokeweed, will need to be fed a large amount of raw stones every day in order to evolve and grow normally?"

"This is a change I anticipated long ago. Otherwise, what would I do with the 5 investment I got from Lord West Serpent?"

"No. What I mean is, would the required amount of raw stones be the same as the amount of the God-given Seeds of Pokeweed?"

"It's hard to say, but it certainly won't be less."

"..."

After exchanging a few words, they both fell silent.

Wait quietly.

It was estimated that half an hour had passed and the vines had only grown to more than 2 meters.

The Golden Leaf Vine's consciousness has not yet awakened; it remains dormant. The vine's growth and breakthrough evolution seem to be proceeding simultaneously, yet it is not a complete breakthrough from the primary to the intermediate level.

Just as the Western Serpent Lord predicted, the Golden Leaf Vine had already completed its breakthrough in its seed form, along with Jin's. Now, the plant itself was breaking through, and it was doing so while growing. The rate at which it absorbed primal force increased as the plant grew, and Jin called on Yin for help.

As darkness fell,

The main vine of the Golden Leaf Vine grows to over 5 meters tall, and its branches and leaves are completely covered with dense, ice-crystal-like white Force patterns, turning the entire plant into a snow-white color, emitting a cool, hazy white light in the darkness.

The rate at which the Force was absorbed became insane, gradually forming a Force vortex.

The vortex continued to expand.

Gold and Silver retreated to the foot of the mound, gripping the raw stone and scraping it with all their might, but their speed gradually became slower.

"Gold, Silver, you two rest, I'll take care of it."

The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain couldn't stand it any longer. He came to the foot of the mound, manipulated the spider silk ropes, wrapped around the raw stone, tightened them, shattered it, and the primal force exploded, quickly being absorbed by the golden leaf vines...

"Fourth Brother, look carefully..."

Silver raised its paw and pointed, saying, "The vines are already over five meters long. The cotyledons that store energy have only shown signs of withering and have not fallen off. A scan with spiritual power shows that the remaining bioenergy is still abundant, which means that this growth trend will continue for a long time."

Jin quickly understood Yin's meaning: "We don't have enough raw stones!"

"Fourth Brother, bring more over!"

"go!"

The two brothers ran towards the mound where the pokeweed seed had taken root. Jin carried two large bags, while Yin struggled to carry one large bag, and they transported them back to the mound where the golden vine had taken root.

Late at night,
They used up three large bags, containing 3000 rough stones.

The main vine of the golden vine grew to nearly 10 meters, and the two cotyledons finally withered and died due to exhaustion of energy.

The vines stopped growing, but their rate of absorbing primordial energy increased instead of decreasing.

The Lord of Silk Sunflower Mountain crushed three primal stones at once to replenish his primal energy.

It continued until midnight, and after using up another 2000 Originium Stones, the frantic absorption of Origin Energy suddenly stopped. The hazy white light carrying an icy aura dimmed, and the ice crystal-like Origin Energy patterns on the surface of the vines quickly faded, melting away like snow and merging into the branches and leaves, eventually disappearing.

The vines have returned to their normal green color.

"Ok?"

The questioning mental force transmitted through him.

The dormant soul consciousness of the Golden Leaf Vine awakened, its mental energy sweeping across the area. Overwhelmed by emotion, it roared, "Damn it! What does that old spider want to do, getting so close to me?"

"Jin, what are you doing?"

"Calm down! Golden Leaf Vine, calm down!"

Jin reassured him, waving his paw in a gesture of encouragement.

With a whoosh, it dashed down the mound and ran far away.

The Lord of Sikui Mountain transformed into a streak of crimson light and instantly teleported a hundred meters away.

The golden vine noticed the change in its tendrils and asked in alarm, "What happened to me? Why have I shrunk? Jin, what's wrong with you?"

"Calm down..."

Jin prompted, "Golden Leaf Vine, take a close look at yourself; you've leveled up."

"upgrade?"

With a thought, Jin Ye Teng noticed that his original energy was more than three times thicker and more solid, and its original energy attribute had become water-based ice.

Concentrate your mind and calm your spirit; reflect on yourself.

The newly grown vines have undergone a dramatic change in their primal properties, essentially becoming a completely new 'body'.

"Jin, what happened? How did you do that?"

Jin Ye Teng inquired, both surprised and delighted.

Jin said, "It's about constantly reinforcing and breaking through certain limits, entering a completely new realm of life. I can't explain it in more detail, you'll have to experience it for yourself. If you discover anything, let me know."

"OK……"

After concentrating for a moment, Jin Ye Teng said, "Now, to condense the same wisp of primal energy, I need to consume at least three or four times the primal force as before."

"Yes……"

Jin said, "We could tell when you broke through to the next level of evolution."

Golden Leaf Vine continued to focus on sensing, and said, "I can now withstand at least 20 growths a day."

"..."

Jin Ning choked for two seconds before saying, "It's become more powerful, and the cost has also increased."

Jin asked, "Will the Golden Leaf Vine bloom again this spring? Can it sense itself and confirm how many flowers it will produce?"

The golden vine remained silent for a long time before saying, "I feel that it may still be a flower and a fruit."

"hiss……"

Jin said, "It's alright, a few fruits are not important. Golden Leaf Vine, you should rest and recuperate for a month, then try to bloom."
