Chapter 243: Devil Tree Battle Soldier’s Transformation
Once the bounty had only a base reward, it meant that the event’s danger factor couldn’t be easily estimated. The lowest danger factor’s price would be the base reward.
If the danger factor rose, the price would definitely go up. How much it went up would depend on the event’s true danger level and the harm caused to those who finished the mission…...
Chu Mu indeed needed a large sum of money. Of course, Chu Mu was also certain that the level of this event was definitely higher than 10 million, meaning that it very likely would be beyond his ability.
Of course, after Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi returned to the medicinal store, Ye Qingzi returned to making medicines to first get rid of Ye Wansheng’s poison.
Chu Mu also took out 29 million gold to buy the Natural Wood Blood Crystal to strengthen the Devil Tree Battle Soldier.
Natural Wood Blood Crystal, just like it sounded, was something that could make wood type soul pets learn Natural Wood Crystal with a higher probability. This soul item usually took a long time before one appeared in the trading center. If not for Ye Qingzi reminding him, Chu Mu may very likely have missed this transaction and would need to wait a long time until he could buy it again.
The Devil Tree Battle Soldier, because of the mixture of blood amber and Coronary Blood Fat, had already somewhat moved towards Blood Wood type. This Natural Wood Blood Crystal was the perfect strengthening item for the Devil Tree Battle Soldier. Chu Mu was very careful in strengthening the Devil Tree Battle Soldier.
When strengthening his Devil Tree Battle Soldier, Chu Mu also had to mentally prepare himself, because the success rate of this spirit item wasn’t 100%.
It was just like the Ice Snow Fruit where the Ice Air Fairy wasn’t able to immediately comprehend towering ice after using it, but instead its comprehension of the crystallisation increased. It wasn’t until its strength reached a certain point or due to some impetus that it would truly control it.
Of course, there was a possibility that after absorbing this Natural Wood Blood Crystal that the Devil Tree Battle Soldier would not be able to comprehend it even after evolving.
……
The Devil Tree Battle Soldier’s body was a green color, and after it obtained the life force absorb technique, its body was slowly covered by a blood red color. When Chu Mu slowly guided the Natural Wood Blood Crystal into its body, the colors became even more prominent, turning into a visibly darker red...
The Devil Tree Battle Soldier’s body was wrapped by a middle rank demon wood, that after being nourished by the Natural Wood Blood Crystal, began circulating the abundant energy contained in the crystal like one would in veins and arteries. As the energy circulated, the inside and the outside of the demon wood began to change, slowly becoming tougher, stronger and more in number.
The Devil Tree Battle Soldier’s body was originally only wrapped by a few demon woods, but as the energy circulated, the demon woods ultimately ended up wrapping its entire body, forming something similar to a demon wood armor that protected its body.
"Young master, your old tree is comprehending a new technique. It’s Demon Wood Armor, and it furthermore is a species technique!" upon seeing the Devil Tree Battle Soldier’s transformation, Old Li jumped up and spoke to Chu Mu.
There were two methods of using defensive techniques. One method was adding on, like the Water Curtain Armor of Ye Qingzi’s Water Moon that could be used on any soul pet or human’s body, including itself.
The other was an individual species technique that was similar to the Ice Air Fairy’s Towering Ice Armor.
The Ice Air Fairy’s innate defense wasn’t very high, and the reason why it ended up being much higher than other soul pets was because the Ice Air Fairy had a special species technique - Ice Armor.
This species ice armor technique was essentially equivalent to attaching an ice armor type technique to the Ice Air Fairy at all times and directly increasing its defense.
Using the same logic, the wood armor technique just learned by the Devil Tree Battle Soldier had the same effect as the Ice Air Fairy, in which it increased its basic defense. If Chu Mu could obtain another sum of money and purchase a seventh rank soul armor for the Devil Tree battle Soldier, nothing would be able to knock it down on the battlefield!
"Final seventh stage defense…" seeing the Devil Tree Battle Soldier learn such an important species technique, a smile surfaced on Chu Mu’s face.
