Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primordial God and Demon Avatar

"How come there are so many willow trees here, and they're so big too?"

Xu Qiankun stepped forward with a long spear in hand. The nine willow trees were all extremely large, with the thinnest trunk being one meter in diameter and the thickest being more than two meters, approaching three meters.

Millions of branches danced in the wind, not following the direction of the wind, as if these branches were alive.

As Xu Qiankun approached a willow tree, the branches of nine willow trees began to dance wildly, and then a vast expanse of willow branches suddenly wrapped around him.

"Is this... the spirit of plants and trees?"

Xu Qiankun looked shocked, then overjoyed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

A total of 63 throwing knives flew out from Xu Qiankun's body at the same time, sweeping towards the willow branches.

Under his terrifying strength of up to two million kilograms, these incredibly tough willow branches were directly cut off. Xu Qiankun himself, however, had already arrived in front of a willow tree with a long spear in hand. He swept the spear horizontally and directly cut the willow tree in half.

Ignoring the search for Liu Muxin, Xu Qiankun continued his attack on the other willow trees.

His strength was too great; even the strongest willow tree, with a diameter of three meters, was no match for him, and he could easily destroy ordinary willow trees.

In less than ten seconds, he had cut down all nine willow trees.

Xu Qiankun carefully split a willow tree open with the Youlong sword and immediately saw a familiar crystal.

"It really is a thousand-year-old willow heartwood."

Xu Qiankun was overjoyed and quickly collected willow heartwood from other willow trees.

He soon obtained nine willow heartwoods, eight of which were a thousand years old and one was ten thousand years old.

"The energy contained within this ten-thousand-year-old willow tree is extremely vast. If used properly, it could even create a planetary-level powerhouse."

As Xu Qiankun pondered this, the name Situ Xiong came to mind.

As the only invincible war god in the Chinese military, his strength has long reached the peak of the apprentice level, and he is only one step away from breaking through. However, this one step has trapped many war gods for their entire lives.

"With so many mutated willow trees on this island, there must be others as well."

Xu Qiankun's eyes lit up, and his powerful spiritual energy spread out as he began searching directly on the misty island.

Soon, he found several more grass-like spirit plants.

However, this was only the beginning. The area of ​​the misty island was extremely large, and even with Xu Qiankun's search speed, it would be difficult to search it all quickly.

After a slight hesitation, Xu Qiankun decided to send a message to Jiang Ning.

"Aunt Jiang, immediately have all the soldiers get into their fighter jets and then take away their communication watches."

"Qiankun, have you discovered something?" Jiang Ning asked.

"There are indeed good things," Xu Qiankun said without going into details, but urged, "You need to hurry up and get Qu Ying and the others into the fighter jet within ten minutes."

"it is good"

Jiang Ning asked no further questions.

"Mom? What happened? Our trial is supposed to last half a month, why do we suddenly have to evacuate?"

Upon receiving Jiang Ning's order, the others dared not say anything, but Qu Ying asked.

"I don't know, your battalion commander told me to do it."

"Stop talking nonsense, we must get back to the temporary camp within ten minutes, we need to leave immediately."

"OK"

Despite their many questions, Qu Ying, Chen Yan, and the others quickly gathered their team members and directed them to regroup at the temporary camp.

Ten minutes later, everyone boarded the fighter jet.

"Everyone, take off your communication watches and hand them over to me for safekeeping," Jiang Ning said.

"What? You want me to take off my watch too?"

Everyone stared at her in astonishment.

There are many possibilities for an emergency return to the fighter jet, such as a base city in China encountering a beast tide and needing their support, or the discovery of a terrifying king-level monster on the Australian continent that they need to avoid.

But confiscating cell phones...

Something terrible has happened.

The same thought popped into everyone's mind. When they looked at the fighter jets again and saw that their battalion commander was not among them, many of them turned pale.

Seemingly sensing their thoughts, Jiang Ning said helplessly, "Your battalion commander is fine. Confiscating the communication watches was his order, so just carry it out."

"Okay, sure."

Hearing that Xu Qiankun was alright, Qu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and then took off her communicator without hesitation. (The system has matched you with a fantasy novel category. Click here.)

Chen Yan, Chen Shi, and Nong Man did not hesitate. They had been teammates with Xu Qiankun and had extraordinary backgrounds, so they were not afraid of anyone harming them.

Seeing that the three company commanders were willing to cooperate, the others no longer hesitated and quickly took off their communication watches and handed them to Jiang Ning.

After confiscating all the communication watches, the fighter jet quickly flew towards the location sent by Xu Qiankun, and soon arrived over the Fog Island.

Xu Qiankun appeared outside the fighter jet, and the hatch opened to welcome him inside.

"Qiankun, what on earth has happened?"

Jiang Ning asked impatiently, not because she was not calm enough, but because Xu Qiankun's actions were indeed a bit frightening.

Xu Qiankun did not answer, but instead opened the backpack that the Black God Set had transformed into and took out more than thirty items.

"Eight thousand-year-old willow heartwoods, one ten-thousand-year-old willow heartwood, and this is Grass Returning Pill, thousand-year-old Black Crow Root, and this is... ten-thousand-year-old Concentrating Spirit Dew."

As the second member of the Chinese military to reach the planetary level, she possessed extensive knowledge and recognized many of the treasures at a glance, though there were also some that even she did not recognize.

"Are they all spirits of plants and trees?"

"You've discovered the nest of the spirits of plants and trees?"

"More or less," Xu Qiankun explained with a smile. "I accidentally entered the island below and first found nine tall, mutated willow trees. After killing them, I obtained these willow heartwood. Then I searched around and found quite a few good things."

"You're really lucky."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but say enviously.

"You're really lucky."

"The island below is quite large; there should be many more plant spirits yet to be found. I'll continue searching."

"Remember, don't tell anyone about the appearance of spirits of plants here, to avoid the news leaking and attracting others."

"Okay, I understand," Jiang Ning nodded. "I'll go with you."

"Sure, the obtained plant spirits will be distributed according to the rules set by our military."

Xu Qiankun did not refuse. These plant spirits were extremely precious to Earthlings, and even Hong would be tempted by them, but to Xu Qiankun they were nothing special.

What he truly valued was the treasure that gave birth to these spirits of plants and trees, namely, the Wood Tooth Crystal.

And that guy who littered with wooden tooth crystals.

"Qu Ying, Chen Yan, Nong Man, you stay in the fighter jet and keep watch. If you spot any powerful monsters approaching, immediately use the fighter jet's built-in intelligent communication function to request my assistance."

"Also, if you discover any danger below, immediately take your fighter jets and evacuate. I will grant the QuYing fighter jet Level 2 piloting privileges."

After Xu Qiankun finished speaking, he first granted Qu Ying authorization, and then flew into the misty island with Jiang Ning.

Rumble

The two had barely entered the misty island when they heard sounds of battle, and could faintly hear the branches of huge trees twitching.

"The battalion commander has struck gold!"

Qu Ying, Chen Yan, Chen Shi, and Nong Man, the four original members of the Rock Team, exchanged glances, all seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Having used the Earth Spirit Root for thousands of years, they naturally knew what the spirits of plants and trees were, and there were clearly quite a few of these spirits on this island.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Xu Qiankun and Jiang Ning returned to the fighter jet one after the other.

"I found 42 portions of the Spirit of Plants here. How many do you have?"

Jiang Ning brought out all the spirits of plants and trees.

I have 76 here.

Xu Qiankun also took out his own spoils.

"In total, we obtained 152 plant spirits, which is more than three times the total number of plant spirits our military has obtained since the Great Nirvana. Among them, eight are at the level of ten-thousand-year willow heartwood, and three of them are even higher than ten-thousand-year willow heartwood."

Jiang Ning was overjoyed.

"What's going on with this Misty Island? How could such a small place possibly nurture so many plant spirits?"

"Perhaps there's some precious treasure buried down there."

Xu Qiankun's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he placed the spirit of plants into the sealed cabinet inside the fighter jet and continued towards Mist Island.

He had only been gone for less than three minutes.

Rumble

A terrifying explosion came from the misty island, and then everyone saw an incredibly terrifying long vine grow out of the clouds and mist.
