Chapter 124 124. Flame Stump and Peas...

Honestly speaking, considering the density of planting, only four magic plants transmitting such consciousness... is a bit too little.

But there is no way around it. There are very few magical plants that dare to evolve and choose a different path.

It takes a long time and years for each magic plant to survive to this day.

They are ancient beings, and their ancestors have been growing according to certain rules and established paths since birth.

This is the best path to take and it is also a fixed path.

There are very few beings that can absorb magic power and mutate - most of them are forced to evolve due to the pressure of survival.

Cloya was already very satisfied with having four plants.

As long as they undergo beneficial mutations, it will be easy for other magical plants to have the same idea if I use magic to help them spread.

The beginning is the hardest.

"Let me see who they are."

He used his mental power to search the field and quickly locked onto his target.

Surprisingly, there are shock peas and flaming stumps among them!

The other two are red agave and red lavender.

As for the latter two, Croa can still understand them, and Impact Pea can barely understand them as well.

The question is, what's the point of a flame stump like you? What's the point of having a magic storage bag?

Out of such curiosity, he decided to go and see the flame stump first.

The flame tree stump grows at the core of the group of stumps.

Although the surrounding cold air continued to pour in, it had little effect on the flame stump whose roots could absorb magic power.

They were still burning with flames, and the fiery red light illuminated the surroundings, so that even the light of the night-shining grass was no longer needed.

The heat radiated, dispelling the surrounding wind, snow and cold.

It feels really warm walking among them, and you can smell the fragrance. To be honest, it feels good.

It's like being surrounded by a fireplace, a fragrant fireplace at that.

"If this thing is stable, it can be used as a good heating device. Not only is it warm, it also has its own fragrance."

Chloe sighed.

However, they require too much fire magic power, and compared with magic patterns that specifically generate heat, their cost-effectiveness is still low.

As a lord, he has to be careful with his calculations.

He walked straight to the tree stump, took a look, and then started carving. This time, there was no specified location for the carving.

He was trying to see if he could let the flame stump choose the location of the imprint itself, and let it decide the direction of its own mutation.

Anyway... the only thing that can be engraved on a tree stump is the trunk.

After a brief communication, he found out that the location chosen for the flame stump was the bark. He didn't quite understand, but he still engraved it.

[Engraving successful, Flame Stump·Stump (Magic Storage Pocket)]

[The current magic plant likes the resin aroma it emits very much, so it wants to smell it all the time. 】

[It will form a magic storage pocket, and sprinkle its resin and magic power around, turning the surrounding area into its favorite environment. ]

"Hmm?" This hint was indeed something Cloya had not expected.

He watched as the tree stump seeped magic power into the surface of its bark, forming small pouches one after another, which were filled with magic power.

The outer shell of the pocket is actually made of resin.

The resin pockets fell down one by one, and then burst into flames where they landed.

You know, this kind of resin requires fire magic to burn. Now with the endless supply of magic in my pocket, I am so happy to burn it.

In addition, the terrain where the tree stump grew was relatively high, and some resin pockets even rolled down and landed around.

Soon, Croix discovered...

There were pockets of burning resin all around him.

The strong smell of incense almost hits your nose directly, but it is obviously not good if it is too strong.

What made him even more unacceptable was that the tree stumps around him seemed to have sensed this change, and waves of consciousness came over -

“We want that too!”

"Help!"

“Oh, it smells so good!”

All the tree stumps were filled with consciousness and desire!

Not one was left behind.

Kloya couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, feeling that it was full of weirdness and absurdity.

You guys, the reason you burn like this is just because you like these aromas? That's why you burn so fiercely?

He was speechless but also found it very interesting.

This may be the charm of magical plants. Behind their seemingly unreasonable appearance, there must be more deviant reasons.

Perhaps if I could pay more attention to this aspect, I would be able to make the transformation more effectively and add some fun to myself.

"One hundred."

He sighed softly and began to carve.

Fortunately, one hundred trees are not a lot, and he can handle it with his mental strength.

Soon all one hundred trees were engraved, and purse-shaped resin immediately began to seep out of their bark surfaces, burning after falling to the ground.

Even Croa had to retreat a bit.

The smell was really too pungent. It used to burn inside their bodies, which somewhat blocked it, but now it spreads out directly.

The deep fragrance spread with the strong wind, and all the surroundings were shrouded in this strange fragrance. The fragrance spread as far as the wind blew.

"I like this scent so much."

Cloya thought about it and had an idea in his mind, but it was so fleeting that he couldn't grasp it.

I could only give up temporarily and go to the impact pea.

He first followed his instinct as usual and let the pea choose the location for the engraving. Sure enough, it chose the location of the pea pod.

No, to be precise, it should be the skin outside the pea.

After the engraving is successful, small pockets appear inside the pea pod that wraps the peas, wrapping the peas for the second time.

Then, they couldn't wait to launch it.

“Swoosh—”

The tiny pocket, no bigger than a fingernail, wrapped the pea inside and flew away with the magic power.

Because it is wrapped in the magic storage bag, the pea's flying speed and distance have been significantly improved this time. It could fly one or two kilometers before, but now it can fly three or four kilometers.

Cloya has also studied why they can fly such a long distance. It seems that these peas have a unique talent, which is to convert magic power into power and shoot the peas out.

These flying peas are obviously going to take root and sprout in completely new places.

It's just this kind of weather and the surrounding environment...

I hope they can cross the snow and the ocean...

"etc."

Kloya suddenly thought of the fleeting inspiration that had just occurred to him, since the flame stump wanted so much to spread its fragrance and resin.

So is it possible to make it produce resin bags for peas to use?

The magic pocket formed by the resin is much more powerful than the pocket formed by the pea itself, and it contains more magic power. Wouldn't it allow the pea to shoot a farther distance?

"Hybridization! Grafting!"

He immediately thought of this method that had been used before.

It was just like the process when they were engraving and splicing the broken limbs of the Night-Shining Grass and the Energy Storage Tree.

They should hit it off immediately.

After thinking of this method, Croa immediately started to try it out. He first communicated between the two through his own consciousness and instilled the concept of mutual benefit and symbiosis.

It was just as he expected.

They immediately became aware——

"Help us."

“Combination!”

Croa smiled with satisfaction, dug out a shock pea, carved the broken limbs for it and the stump, and then inserted its roots into the stump.

Naturally, it immediately began to wrap itself around the inside of the stump.

The tree stump happily accepted its arrival, and there was no grudge between the two at all, and they merged smoothly into one.

After they combined, a prompt came immediately -

[Under the effects of "Broken Limb Reconnection" and "Magic Storage Bag", the forms of the impact peas and the flame stumps have changed slightly, and the engraving spells will also change. ]

[The Flame Stump will continuously produce flaming resin that drips onto the impact pea pods.

When the peas that impact the peas are ripe, they will be launched. 】

[This seal applies to all shock peas and flame stumps. 】

After the engraving was successful, the impact peas grew at the roots of the flame stump. As the flame stump oozed resin, it dripped onto the pea pods.

The resin is absorbed by the peas and replaces the original pocket inside the pod, enveloping the growing peas.

Once they mature they should be launched.

Transform into a flaming pea.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Croa clapped his hands and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this just the Peashooter with a flaming stump?"

"The next step is to figure out how to launch them toward a designated location."

"It can be fired three to four thousand meters away. Although it is not as powerful as the red ray, it would be good if it were replaced with a powerful enough flame."

He was really satisfied with the success of this engraving. It was not only a reproduction of the alien version of the Pea Shooter + Flame Stump, but also a way out.

As long as he could figure out the characteristics of the plants and combine them, the upper limit of the magic of splicing broken limbs would probably be much higher than he imagined.

…

In the following time, he engraved this magic for red agave and red lavender, but they did not bring much surprise.

They need this magic only because their own ability to store magic is insufficient, and they want more magic power in order to cope with harsher environments.

If I have to say, the quality may be improved in the future, after all, there will be more magic power.

It’s a good thing, at least there is a substantial improvement.

After such a long period of engraving, even Kloya felt a little tired. He casually shaped the clay and planned to sit down and rest.

But suddenly, there was a wave of magical power in the sky.

Along with the fluctuation of magic power...

It was a very familiar "crunching" sound.
