The night deepened.
The students from the Magic Plant Departnt packed up their tools for studying nearby magical plants, while the students from the Beast Taming Departnt also summoned their Contracted Beasts back into their Beast Taming Spaces, climbed into their sleeping bags, and prepared to sleep.
Leng Yuntian tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
He looked up at the night sky, and as the nightti temperature gradually dropped, he couldn’t help it any longer. He poked his head out from the accompanying tent.
Hmm... Good, everyone’s asleep...
He turned back, pulled sothing out from his suitcase, and stealthily headed into the woods. After finally finding a secluded spot, as he was just about to unbuckle his pants, a ghostly, eerie voice, like that of a female ghost, floated down from above...
"Brother Leng, taking a dump? Want company?"
Leng Yuntian: !!!
Leng Yuntian was almost scared out of his pants and instinctively summoned his Yak Ice Tiger, warily looking in the direction of the voice, "Who’s there?!"
From the dense branches shimring under the moonlight, a small face appeared, its expression unpredictable under the somber light of the moon. Qian Qi, clasping the branches beneath her with both hands like a crouching leopard, perched on a tree limb, "It’s , Qian Qi."
Leng Yuntian, after seeing her face: ...
"What the hell is wrong with you? Pooping on a tree in the middle of the night!"
He wiped away the cold sweat that had unknowingly ford, taking a breath, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?"
With Qian Qi here, he couldn’t solve his pressing needs.
Qian Qi seed oblivious to his disdain and restraint, casually making up an excuse, "Constipation."
Oh?
Leng Yuntian looked at Qian Qi, surprised, "You’re constipated too?"
"Too?" Qian Qi tilted her head, "Who else is constipated?"
"Well, of course..." Leng Yuntian almost let slip that it was him in a mont of relaxation but corrected himself imdiately, "It’s Qian Dafang! You’re his girlfriend, yet you didn’t know?"
"I really didn’t know..." Qian Qi touched her chin as if genuinely trying to recall, speaking with such earnestness as though she was serious, "No way, little celestial boys are raised on dew; how could they poop? Da Fang has never pooped in front of , let alone been constipated."
Leng Yuntian: ...
What nonsensical things are you saying...
No, wait, how did this turn into a conversation? And about such a tasteful topic?
Leng Yuntian hurriedly shook his head, "You better go; I have things to do!"
Qian Qi didn’t bother him further, letting go of the tree branch with her hands, her whole body leaping like a gust of wind across to another tree, then to a third, disappearing quickly into the night.
Leng Yuntian finally breathed a sigh of relief, ready to address his pressing matter.
...
"So this is the instance boss, the Nine Lives Grass?"
Ten minutes later, a girl clad in black battle armor stood tall, her legs straightened as she stood amongst the root branches of a gigantic tree, her expression slightly serious.
In the night, she leaned against the tree trunk with one hand, her gaze scanning like a radar over the not far away golden magic plant with nine thorny branches.
[Magic Plant Na: Nine Lives Grass (in evolution)
Rank: Peak of B-level
Attack thod: Primitive thods such as swinging, its thorns are extrely sharp, has nine lives, becos stronger with each death
Weakness: No special weaknesses
Analysis: Roots, stems, demon core, seed core
Note: The magic plant is detected to be evolving. Once it evolves to an A-level Magic Plant, the instance reward will change.]
Qian Qi raised an eyebrow.
With the principle of not wasting, she decided to secretly tackle the instance in the middle of the night. Although killing the Nine Lives Grass grants the "Charcoal" skill, which allows the body to beco charcoal for a short ti—a bit impractical—what if she entered so icy cold instance with no firewood...
She could always painlessly chop off an arm to burn, right?
It can grow back anyway.
The interesting thing now, though, is that this Nine Lives Grass is actually evolving. Once it successfully evolves, the rewards after conquering the instance will change.
Qian Qi was quite curious about what the new rewards might be. Could it be so A-level skill?
"I also don’t know how long this will take." Qian Qi sat cross-legged, pulling out a tangerine candy from the left pocket of her black battle armor.
That was sothing Su Ang had stuffed into her pocket.
She tossed the tangerine candy into the air, catching it with a chomp, her tongue savoring the light tangerine sweetness.
While waiting, Qian Qi fiddled with her system panel, starting to review the organ analysis of the Nine Lives Grass.
[Roots: The main energy source, absorbing Earth and Fire elents from the soil, making the root system extrely tough and developed, not fearing heat and cold, lightning, or strong attacks. No special weaknesses; only greater strength can destroy it;
Stems: Nine, secondary energy source, with highly efficient filtering cells that purify pure Earth and Fire elents, harder than the roots; with extrely sharp thorns attached to the surface. One of the thorn stems contains a demon core, which when shattered and absorbed by the soil instantly recharges the Nine Lives Grass, gaining even more attack power;
Demon Core: The energy convergence center, where pure Earth and Fire elents mutate, granting the Nine Lives Grass its resurrection power...]
"Hmm?" Seeing sothing, Qian Qi leaned closer to the system panel, squinting her eyes, almost touching it with her face, "Is this..."
The system panel subtly backed away a little.
"A shattered demon core absorbed by the soil instantaneously empowers the Nine Lives Grass... stronger attack power, mutation, resurrection..."
Her thumb and forefinger rubbing her little chin in curiosity, "Let sort this out, it seems to an: a shattered demon core absorbed by the soil instantaneously empowers the Nine Lives Grass to resurrect, and re-generate a B-level demon core, which will appear in a new thorn stem..."
Conquerors will have to rely on luck to guess which thorn stem the demon core is in if they’re to shatter it—the difficulty of the conquest naturally surges upwards.
"Aha!" Qian Qi flicked her little arm, snapping her fingers crisply, "I found a bug!"
Whatever she thought of made her chuckle sinisterly and slyly, "Hehehe, heh heh heh, heheh... "
System: [...]
System: [Your laugh is really chaotically mixed.]
Qian Qi: "Yes, yes, not as simple as your composition."
System: [What composition?]
Qian Qi sassily: "You’re full of sedintary residue."
System: #I￥%you...@mom#￥*
"When will its evolution be completed? Hopefully not several days..." To avoid getting beaten, Qian Qi quickly flicked away the system panel in front of her, peering down at the Nine Lives Grass below.
Seeing this disposability from the heartbreaker Qian Qi, the system rolled its eyes slightly before floating behind her and kicking her down with one panel!
[Here, fixed it! Begone! (艹皿艹)]
"Oh crap! I haven’t put my helt on yet!" The force from the system was so vigorous that Qian Qi didn’t have ti to grab the helt hanging on the tree branch before being precisely launched towards the Nine Lives Grass along a parabolic trajectory!
Just as Qian Qi was about to touch down, the Nine Lives Grass, which had been quietly glowing, suddenly whipped its nine golden thorn stems into a frenzy, a golden light soaring straight upwards like a golden-red Phoenix, shooting towards the sky and through Qian Qi’s body, lighting the entire instance as if it were dayti!
Leng Yuntian, who was half-squatting and drowsily dozing, jerked awake: Daybreak?! Did he spend so long taking a dump?!
