Xin Sui said in a tempting tone, "This water tastes good, doesn't it? If you want more, use baby water—"
She pointed to the cocoons covering the babies on its body, "—Come trade with me, five babies for one bucket of water, how about it?"
I don't know if Xuemolu can understand it.
Xin Sui spoke while gesturing with his hands, trying to convey his meaning to it.
As a result, Xuemolu not only understood, but also started bargaining with her.
It stretched out two branches and waved them at her, then shook the empty bucket.
"You mean two babies are exchanged for one bucket of water?"
The face on the Bloodmoro Tree grinned at her.
It looks both terrifying and a little comical.
Xin Sui shook his head: "No, at least four."
This time, Bloodmoro extended three branches and then made a gesture as if to throw one of the cocoons to the ground.
It turns out that the baby was going to be killed if negotiations failed.
They say people become wise with age, and she thinks this tree has become wise too.
Xin Sui didn't dare to gamble on whether it was an act or not, so he could only agree repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, just three. Don't drop them, or this deal will be void."
Xuemoro abruptly stopped throwing the child.
With the help of the spiritual spring water, Xin Sui successfully rescued all the children.
There are 38 in total.
Shui Duoduo took out a blanket, spread it on the ground, and placed the children on it.
They were all sleeping soundly when one of the babies woke up and started crying loudly.
The other babies were woken up and started crying too.
In an instant, the entire Blood Tower was filled with cries.
The adults, who had no experience in taking care of children, were left in a state of chaos.
I can't take care of everything, it's really a headache.
I even have the urge to send these babies back to Bloodmoro.
I must say, the Bloodmoro mutated tree is quite adept at raising offspring.
These babies were all raised by it to be fair and chubby.
When it cries, its voice is incredibly loud, and its little legs kick with tremendous force.
Xin Sui: "Duo Duo, hurry, go and find Jenny."
Reminded by her, Shui Duoduo also remembered Jenny's unique talent skill belonging to the merfolk—the Healing Voice.
If she were to sing a song for these babies, she would surely be able to calm them down.
Without delay, he went without saying a word.
He rushed in less than twenty minutes later, carrying Jenny, who was completely wrapped in a black cloak.
In this urgent situation, Xin Sui didn't hold it against him for bringing Jenny over.
“Jenny, come and sing a song for these babies so they won’t cry.”
Jenny floated over lightly, glanced curiously at the babies, and began to sing.
Her ethereal, heavenly voice flowed from her lips.
The babies, immersed in the singing, gradually quieted down.
Some play by themselves, sucking their hands and nibbling their feet.
Some of them looked around with their big, watery eyes wide open.
Some of them fell asleep again...
As for the babies who cry because of physiological needs or hunger, Xin Sui and Shui Duoduo quickly took care of them.
By the time they had finished getting all 38 babies ready, Xin Sui and the others were covered in sweat.
Throughout this process, Jenny's singing never stopped.
Not only were the babies soothed, but even the Bloodmoro stretched its branches and swayed gently in the song.
It's like swaying to a rhythm.
After drinking so much spiritual spring water, all the impurities in its body were expelled.
Its grade has also been upgraded, leaping from the third rank to the fourth rank.
Its entire body appears clear and pure, shimmering with iridescent light, as if carved from a blood-red crystal.
The initial, blood-red, shocking sense of evil was gone.
Mutant plants are very difficult to advance to higher levels.
Because most of them cannot move and can only stay in place, they cultivate by absorbing the mystic energy in the soil and air.
However, the amount of profound energy absorbed in this way is extremely limited.
Without any special opportunities, it often takes decades or even centuries to advance to the next level.
This Blood Moro was raised by the Crimson Frost family, so it had no shortage of profound energy and could eat as many exotic beasts and crystal cores as it wanted.
At first, the progress was incredibly rapid.
In just a few decades, he advanced from the early stage of the first tier to the peak of the third tier, much faster than other similar individuals.
But no matter how many crystal cores it consumed or how much profound energy it devoured, it could not make any progress.
Because it has encountered a bottleneck.
This bottleneck was caused by the fact that not only did Crimson Frost feed it exotic beasts and crystal cores, but it also made it deal with humans from time to time.
Some of those people were dead, and some were alive.
Unwittingly, this led to Xue Molu being tainted with a great deal of bloodshed.
He was surrounded by all sorts of foul and filthy auras, such as deathly energy, malevolent energy, and yin energy.
Over the years, its trunk may look fine on the outside, but the inside has become a mess.
It looks like it's been eaten away by insects.
For it to advance, let alone improve, it would be quite good if it could just maintain its current level.
But under the cleansing of the spiritual spring water, all the filth and foulness on its body were washed away.
It's like a person covered in filth taking a refreshing bath.
All bad things are eliminated, and one is completely refreshed.
In this way, the profound energy it had accumulated naturally helped it overcome that hurdle and successfully advance!
"What should we do with these babies?" Xin Sui asked with some worry.
If it were just one or two people, that would be fine; they could take turns looking after them and keep an eye on things.
But with so many babies—of course, she didn't mean to look down on them; she was glad they were still alive—how could they possibly keep an eye on so few of them?
