Faced with Wang Zheng's devilish smile, the golden saplings had no choice but to suffer in silence.

He never imagined that Wang Zheng, who had been completely helpless against him last time, could grow to such an extent in just two or three months.

Other abilities are fine; no matter how strong his abilities are or how great his brute strength is, I can simply give up this outermost clone disguise.

But there was a power in those dark red flames that instilled fear in him.

This flame not only possesses the power to burn away all life, but also contains a hint of destructive intent.

The ability to devour the enemy's spiritual energy to replenish itself was unheard of, and it even thought that the flames could spread from the giant tree clone to its main body.

The tremor that came from the depths of its soul made it unable to muster any resistance. At this moment, it regretted it immensely for ever provoking this jinx.

Now things are really messed up; I'm afraid I'll even get myself involved...

Knowing that it had no chance of escaping the raging flames, the sapling reluctantly removed its layers of disguise and stood in front of Wang Zheng.

Looking at the familiar scene before him, and the liquid spiritual energy flowing gently from the tree trunk, our young master Wang squinted his eyes and smiled like a greedy fox.

Feeling a rich spiritual energy spreading out, his joy was indescribable.

Wang Zheng shook his head slightly and muttered to himself:

"Everyone talks about coercion and bribery, but I guess I got the order wrong. Coercion should come first. See, this is much more sensible..."

As he spoke, Wang Zheng lifted his foot and gently hooked the huge jar into the tree trunk, where it stood steadily beside the golden tree.

The sudden movement startled the sapling, making it tremble and almost run away. However, after seeing the emerald green life-giving liquid inside the spirit crystal bottle... no, the spirit crystal jar, its two "short legs" could no longer move.

Seemingly drawn by an irresistible attraction, the sapling remained wary of Wang Zheng, its body behaving quite differently.

The branch at the arm instantly extended out, like a thick straw, and inserted itself into the water tank.

With the "bubbling" sound of bubbles rising, he quickly absorbed the entire large vat of life-giving liquid in an instant.

As time goes by, the green sap flows upstream along the gaps in the branches and leaves, slowly seeping into the trunk.

At this moment, the sapling suddenly shimmered with a dazzling fluorescence, its entire body becoming more translucent, and the three spiritual fruits in its crown emitted a deep and refreshing fragrance as they swayed.

Immediately afterwards, the emerald-green spiritual liquid flowing onto the tree trunk was gradually compressed and gathered into a teardrop-shaped crystal, with the vitality inside becoming increasingly rich. After a flash of blue light, all of this essence was completely absorbed by the golden tree.

The sapling trembled with excitement, and tender buds sprouted wildly from its surface.

Moreover, those tender buds shimmered with a lustrous light, emanating a faint vitality.

With a series of "whooshing" sounds, as if shedding its skin, after breaking through the outermost bark, a tree-man with a more human-like appearance emerged from the shell. Its appearance and the outline of its limbs were basically no different from those of a human.

Especially the pimples on the human faces under the tree canopy, the expressions on them are very lifelike.

The three spiritual fruits in the tree canopy became even more tempting, and their strong fragrance even attracted the attention of many strange beasts. If it weren't for the powerful aura emanating from Wang Zheng, they probably would have already pounced on him.

Wang Zheng was also afraid that making too much noise would cause unnecessary trouble.

Ordinary strange beasts are not a problem, but this is in the deep mountains and forests. If we attract the demon king, even if we can leave, it would be a loss if we lose the benefits we have already gained.

So, looking at the sapling with a face full of delight... oh no... I should say the little tree person said:

"I'll give you a safer environment and send you a jar of this elixir every day. Come with me."

As he spoke, Wang Zheng tentatively used his scanner to scan the area, and to his surprise, it actually worked. The little tree-man's data instantly appeared before his eyes. This two-times-upgraded scan was truly impressive.

Jinyang Fruit Trees (Planting)

Stamina: 400/400

Spiritual Energy Value: /

Physical condition: 40

Strength: 30

Intelligence: 12

Spirit: 30

Agility: 5

Upon seeing the bizarre data panel in front of him, Wang Zheng exclaimed, "Wow!"

However, with a maximum attribute of only 40 points, there is a spiritual energy limit of nearly 40,000?

If you compare them like this, Old Man Chu is really hopeless.

Thinking that the old man's peak level was only a little over 40,000, Wang Zheng sighed inwardly, but he also knew very well that this was one of the reasons why it was not dangerous for humans to advance to the extraordinary level.

Balance exists among all things; for every gain there is a loss, this is the way of nature and destiny.

As for the "(植)" after the name, it should mean that it is a plant-type mythical beast, which corresponds to the "(兽)" in Bai Meixi's panel at that time.

However, after searching through all the books on botany in his mind, Wang Zheng could not find any relevant information about the so-called Golden Sun Fruit Tree, and could only classify it as a rare and undiscovered spiritual plant.

Turning his gaze away, Wang Zheng continued to ask:

"How's your decision? One bottle of Vitality Liquid a day can help you evolve quickly. You don't want to be a fruit tree in the wilderness for the rest of your life, do you?"

"Follow me, and I guarantee I'll help you ascend to Demon King status quickly and shed your tree form!"

Wang Zheng felt that his words were already very sincere, and he himself found the way he spoke in a strained voice disgusting.

Unfortunately, although the Golden Sun Fruit Tree showed a strong interest in the Vitality Liquid, it did not abandon its vigilance towards Wang Zheng.

Perhaps it had witnessed too much deceit and treachery in the wilderness, or perhaps it was its nature to be wary of humans.

Despite Wang Zheng's promise, the Golden Sun Fruit Tree only absorbed the life essence in front of it and did not respond to Wang Zheng's invitation.

After receiving no response for a long time, Wang Zheng became somewhat impatient. He stepped forward, flashed into the spacious tree hole, gently touched the little tree person, and then returned to his original position.

Wang Zheng's sudden action greatly stimulated the little tree-man, which instantly manipulated countless vines to whip over. At the same time, the tree canopy shook and emitted a mental shockwave that shot towards Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng remained calm in the face of the fruit tree's reaction. After pursing his lips, he first activated the Candle Flame Domain to force back all the vines, and then activated the Thorn Heart's counter-damage ability.

"After all, it's still a beast. You can't reason with it. You have to use force to make it face reality!"
