Chapter 79 The Heart of an Eternal Willow!

Chen Mo and the others landed on a beach, and what appeared before them was a mysterious island with lush flowers and plants.

"We've finally arrived at the island in the middle of the lake." Many people in the crowd secretly breathed a sigh of relief, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. They had been quite frightened along the way.

Besides the swarm of electric eel-like monsters unleashing powerful electrical energy, many people along the way witnessed two large aquatic monsters fighting, and even saw a hundred-meter-long dragon feeding.

In short...

The number of powerful aquatic monsters in this lake is unexpectedly large, which is very strange!

Logically speaking, it would be quite remarkable if there were two or three powerful aquatic monsters in a lake within a hundred miles, but this lake... just by flying once, the group saw seven or eight extremely powerful aquatic monsters, not to mention there were many more powerful ones at the bottom of the lake!

The density of powerful monsters is too high!

That defies common sense!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

People couldn't help but turn their attention to the several powerful councilors at the front of the crowd, wondering why they had brought everyone here and what their next orders would be.

"Everyone!" Chen Mo addressed the crowd after a brief conversation with Jia Yi and the others, "This island contains many dangers, but also a wealth of opportunities. As far as I know, there are over a hundred spirits of plants and trees alone!"

These words immediately drew gasps of surprise from the crowd.

"What?!"

"The spirit of plants and trees? Is it the spirit of plants and trees I know?"

"Aren't the spirits of plants and trees said to be priceless and incomparably precious? There are actually hundreds of them here?"

"Chief Chen, you must be mistaken. How can there be so many? It's said that our national treasury only has a handful of treasures like the Spirit of Plants and Trees!"

"Quiet!" Just as people were whispering amongst themselves, Jia Yi, the most prestigious of them all, suddenly shouted, silencing everyone. "Just follow orders. Enough with the nonsense!"

But in fact, Jia Yi and his companions were no less surprised and excited than the others. Although Chen Mo had given them a general overview beforehand, they still couldn't help but feel excited and nervous when they actually set foot on the island.

Those are hundreds of plant spirits! One plant spirit can almost nurture a war god-level expert, or even a high-level war god!

Hundreds of plant spirits? That's an enormous amount of resources! It would definitely be enough to significantly boost the overall strength of Chinese martial artists.

Moreover, according to Chen Mo, the spirits of plants and trees are merely the most inconspicuous treasures on this island. What can truly change the fate of China are the ancient civilization relics hidden beneath the island!

"Chen Mo, give the order. Tell us what to do, and we old guys will lead the way!" Jia Yi and the others all looked at Chen Mo, eager to show their skills.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded, then continued:

"As I said, this island has hundreds of plant spirits, but it also harbors many dangers. Not to mention anything else, the plant spirits themselves are not something that ordinary war gods can deal with."

"Therefore, everyone should be divided into teams of eight, each led by a powerful high-level war god. They should search different areas of the island, collect the spirits of plants and trees they find along the way, and hand over all the collected spirits. Rewards will be distributed according to contributions after the mission is completed."

"If you encounter any overwhelming danger, notify us immediately. We will come to your aid right away. Remember, never act alone, or you won't even know how you died!"

"Now, everyone, immediately split into groups and move out. I've already had the characteristics and appearances of various plant spirits sent to your communication wristwatches. Let's get going!"

"Yes, Commander!" Upon hearing Chen Mo's order, all the War God-level experts responded loudly, each one excited. Soon, they left in an orderly manner in groups, leaving only Chen Mo and Jia Yi with four others.

Even Jiang Fang and Song Ziyan went out with the other War Gods to search for the spirits of plants and trees, while Tang Jin stayed in the King-level fighter jet to wait because of her weaker strength.

"Old Jia, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush," Chen Mo said with a smile, turning to Jia Yi and the other three. "You four come with me first; we have more important things to do."

With that, he took the lead and flew towards the center of the island. Jia Yi and the others exchanged glances and quickly followed.

This island in the middle of the lake is like a primeval forest, with many thick and strong trees and lush vegetation.

Strangely, not a single monster could be seen.

As Chen Mo and his group of five continued their journey deeper into the heart of the island, they discovered two or three kinds of plant spirits along the way, which greatly excited Jia Yi and the others.

At least they had personally witnessed the spirits of plants that Chen Mo mentioned, which meant that the matter of ancient civilization relics was probably mostly reliable.

It wasn't that they didn't believe Chen Mo; they just couldn't quite believe it. This incredible windfall seemed unreal to them.

After half an hour.

"Look! What's that?!" Councilor Tuoba suddenly shouted while flying, his voice as loud as thunder, making people's ears hurt.

Just as Jia Yi was about to reprimand him, Deng, the usually composed councilor, surprisingly spoke up:

"It's the spirit of plants, a thousand-year-old willow heartwood! It appeared in Kunlun before!"

"A thousand-year-old willow heartwood?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up immediately. Following Councilor Deng's gaze, he saw several thick willow trees.

"One, two, three, four... nine trees in total!"

"These are them!"

Chen Mo quickly flew over.

These nine willow trees in front of us are indeed very thick. The thinnest willow tree is about one meter in diameter, and the thickest willow tree has a diameter of three meters!

Whew~~Whew~~

Nine super willow trees, such thick willow trees, each with millions of willow branches dancing in the wind.

laugh!laugh!laugh!

When Chen Mo approached the nine willow trees and was less than a hundred meters away, almost instantly, all the willow branches of these trees began to fly wildly, as if they were threads rapidly wrapping around Chen Mo!

Its speed far exceeds the speed of sound. Even a high-level war god would have no chance to dodge at such close range when faced with countless willow branches covering the sky!

However, they were now facing Chen Mo, a being who could easily kill even a third-tier planetary-level expert!

call out! !

Chen Mo appeared in front of one of the giant willow trees in a flash, his speed so fast that even the supersonic willow branches couldn't react.

Boom~~~

A simple, unadorned punch slammed into the willow tree and its thick trunk, sending splinters flying. Amidst these fragments, a breathtaking patch of green also rose into the air.

"It is indeed a thousand-year-old willow heartwood!" Jia Yi and the other three were overjoyed, as it was almost identical to the thousand-year-old willow heartwood they had seen years ago.

"The original thousand-year-old willow heartwood, after consumption, has two effects: First, it can greatly increase cell activity, and the body's recovery speed can be increased many times over. Second, it can also lead to a leap in physical fitness."

"That was just a thousand-year-old willow heartwood. I estimate... the one in front with a diameter of over three meters should be called a 'ten-thousand-year-old willow heartwood'!"

"This single willow tree is priceless!"

"Gentlemen," Chen Mo interrupted their conversation after dealing with a super willow tree, "Stop chatting. You can have those thousand-year-old willows, and I'll take care of the ten-thousand-year-old willow king. Let's get started."

As he spoke, Chen Mo had already manipulated the Sky-Piercing Shuttle to form a Mountain-Drilling Cone. He used only twelve strands of mental energy to form the first layer of the Mountain-Drilling Cone. With a high-pitched and piercing long howl, a golden light instantly pierced through the trunk of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Willow King!

boom!!

The terrifying power instantly tore the willow tree trunk to shreds. The formidable Willow King, comparable to an ordinary councilor-level expert, had no power to resist Chen Mo at all!

An oval crystal shimmering with green light was tossed into the air and, under Chen Mo's powerful psychic force, landed in his palm in the blink of an eye.

I've got my hands on some 10,000-year-old willow heartwood!

"Now I can start working on breaking through to the planetary level." Looking at the crystal-clear treasure in front of him, Chen Mo revealed a faint smile.
