Chapter 17 Pure Auxiliary Plants

The agreed time soon arrived.

Early in the morning, Lin You left the territory with fifteen fourth-level soldiers except the Man-Eating Plant King.

As for why there are fifteen.

Of course, it was because the Fire Lotus produced a lot of magic power for him in one night, allowing him to recruit a few more.

Together with the five third-level flower spirits, there were a total of twenty types of soldiers, marching in the mountains and forests in a mighty force. It could almost be said that they came out in full force.

This is also the reason why he dared to go to the other party's territory alone.

More than two hours later.

Following the location information given by Luo Lei, Lin You crossed the mountains and forests and came to a vast wasteland.

And at the edge of the wasteland, there lies a territory lined with tombstones, eerie and magnificent.

Luo Lei had been waiting for a long time, standing outside the territory with a few skeleton soldiers. When he saw Lin You walking out of the forest, he immediately came up to him.

"You are Brother Lin You, right?"

Luo Lei looked at Lin You with surprise in his eyes.

At this time, Lin You was only accompanied by Ling Xi and four tree spirit warriors. They dared to cross the mountains and forests with such a lineup. Anyone who saw it would be surprised.

Lin You didn't explain much. He looked around and said with a smile, "That's right, I didn't expect your territory to be in such a good location, next to such a vast wasteland."

"Brother, you are joking. Although this wasteland is vast, many people have their territories here. It is not safe. I am sorry to ask you to make a special trip here."

Luo Lei smiled bitterly, looking a little embarrassed.

If most of his troops had not been lost at the monster gathering place, his territory would not have been exposed, and Lin You would not have had to run so far.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel secretly frightened.

Because he discovered that the five types of soldiers that Lin You brought with him were all fourth-level!

Especially the little fairy-like soldier flying above Lin You’s head gave him a sense of danger.

When did such a person appear in the Department of Plants? He didn't even know it! While Luo Lei was looking at Lin You, Lin You was also looking at Luo Lei.

As he had guessed, there were not many soldiers around Luo Lei, and they were all third-level Skeleton Centurions, with no fourth-level ones seen.

It seems that we suffered heavy losses when we wiped out the monster gathering place, and we don't have the resources to upgrade the territory and recruit soldiers for the time being.

This also made him feel relieved, and he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's not very far anyway, it will only take a few hours to get there. By the way, did you bring the military token?"

"I brought it. Where's yours?"

Luo Lei took out a token from his arms and gestured to Lin You.

Lin You saw the information on the token at a glance.

[Army Token: Ancient Tree of Knowledge]

[Effect: Unlock a third-level plant soldier]

[Requirements: Level 3 Plant Territory, 25 points of Mana]

After looking at the attributes, Lin You's face suddenly lit up with joy. He took out the zombie token from his body and handed it to Luo Lei.

"This is a third-level zombie token, please check it."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the things and run away?"

Luo Lei said this, looking down at the token in front of him.

When he saw the information on the token, his eyes widened immediately. This was exactly the Undead troop token he wanted the most!

"How about that? Should that be enough to exchange for your token?"

Lin You said with a smile.

He was not worried that the other party would directly snatch the token and run back to the territory, because he was confident enough that he could intercept the other party before returning to the territory.

Luo Lei was also a frank person, and he didn't play any tricks. He raised his head and said excitedly: "That's enough. Happy cooperation!"

After saying that, he handed the token of the ancient tree of knowledge to Lin You.

“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

Lin You didn't hesitate to take it and took a deep breath.

In this way, he had one more type of soldier to recruit, so the trip was worthwhile.

He put away the token, looked around again, and then continued, "Since the transaction is complete, I will go back first and contact you when there is a chance."

Luo Lei nodded: "Okay, thank you for the trip, brother."

Lin You didn't say much. He waved his hand, then turned around and left with Ling Xi and the others.

Not long after, it disappeared into the dense forest, as if it had never appeared.

Until then, a young man hiding behind a stone pestle nearby showed up and hurried over.

"How's it going? Did you get it?"

This young man was the one who worked with Luo Lei to wipe out the monster gathering place. From the moment Lin You appeared, he had been hiding behind the stone pestle next to him, ready to provide support at any time.

Obviously, he is also a cautious person.

Seeing him appear, Luo Lei was immediately delighted and said, "Well, I got it. Fortunately, that person is easy to talk to."

"That's good." The young man breathed a sigh of relief, "I've just checked, the soldiers around that guy are all level four. If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid the two of us combined won't be a match."

"Indeed." Luo Lei nodded, still feeling a lingering fear, "I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful plant system in our area, and it's so close to us. It's really hidden too deeply."

"I heard that the angel Murong Tian was only promoted to the fourth level this morning. When did the plant type become so powerful?"

"Who knows? Anyway, we should pay attention to building good relationships with people like this in the future. This will also be beneficial to us."

"Too."

Having said this, the two stopped talking and looked silently in the direction where Lin You left, as if thinking about something.

The other side.

After leaving Luo Lei's territory, Lin You quickly returned to his own territory.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

I also killed a lot of monsters along the way and earned more than a hundred points of magic power.

After crossing the fence of the territory, he hurried to the Tree of Life and took out the military token he brought back.

[Would you like to consume 25 points of mana to use the third-tier troop token: Ancient Tree of Knowledge? ]

"use."

Whoosh——

The token turned into a stream of light and instantly sank into the trunk of the Tree of Life.

Immediately afterwards, a reminder sounded in Lin You's mind.

[Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the third-tier soldier: Ancient Tree of Knowledge]

Hearing this reminder, Lin You quickly spent 10 magic points to recruit an ancient tree of knowledge.

In an instant, the light gathered and an ancient tree rose from the ground. In a blink of an eye, it grew to a height of seven or eight meters. The top was covered with lush branches and leaves, which kept changing, gradually condensing into a pair of dry facial features, looking old and heavy.

【Name: Ancient Tree of Knowledge】

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Level 3 (cannot be upgraded)]

[Strength: 25]

【Constitution: 25】

[Agility: 25]

[Spirit: 120]

[Skills: Profound Knowledge (Increases surrounding plants' experience by 1 point every hour, effective for all levels, cannot be stacked.) Ancient (Unique to one type of soldier, only one of this type can exist at a time.)]

[Introduction: The tree spirits have the most profound knowledge. They have low combat abilities, but have strong auxiliary abilities.]

After reading the information about the ancient tree of knowledge, Lin You was stunned for a moment.

A purely auxiliary unit? And it can also increase the experience of other units? This is too amazing!

It was tailor-made for plant-type soldiers! Lin You didn't expect that this casually exchanged token would actually be exchanged for such a rare soldier.

Even though it only provides a little experience per hour, over the years, it is a considerable amount.

And it was clearly written on it, effective for all levels! Just based on this, Lin You knew he had made a fortune!

The only pity is that the Ancient Tree of Knowledge has many restrictions, and you have to be near it to get experience bonuses. There is no way to gain experience when the troops are out.

This is probably why it is not a rare type of soldier.

"Forget it, let's see how it mutates first."

Although the experience-added effects cannot be stacked, Lin You still wants to try to use mutation to get rid of the "Ancient" skill.

In this way, he can leave one in the territory and take one out, so he can upgrade and kill monsters at the same time.

Immediately, Lin You came to the ancient tree of knowledge and began to mutate it.

However, to his surprise, after dozens of mutations, all the mutated soldiers inherited the characteristics of "cannot be upgraded" and "only one type of soldier", and the skills that added experience disappeared directly.

Could it be that the skill of "profound knowledge" has no affinity with other types of soldiers and cannot be inherited? Lin You was unwilling to give up and recruited mutations more than a dozen times, and sure enough, they were all the same.

According to the 1/2 probability of skill inheritance, this situation is unlikely to happen no matter how unlucky you are.

In other words, his guess was correct.

Other plants simply cannot inherit the skill of "profound knowledge"! Well... he really thought too well.

But he was not too disappointed. After all, 1 experience point per hour was already very abnormal. When he was not going out, almost all soldiers could enjoy the bonus.

After thinking about it, he dismissed those mutated soldiers and recruited another ancient tree of knowledge, letting it stay in the territory as a pure auxiliary plant.
