After the tree demon fell, Chen Rong and Chen Meng finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Rong cupped his fists in a heroic manner and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu. Otherwise, Manager Chen and I would have been killed by this Ancient Locust Tree Demon."
Chen Meng also had a lingering fear. "I heard that Ancient Locust Town was haunted, but I thought it was just a small demon. I didn't expect there to be a hidden big demon! Fortunately, this big demon hasn't recovered, or it would be even harder to deal with. "
"This big demon hasn't recovered?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Chen Meng nodded and said, "I've seen a real big demon. It has the power to shatter mountains and split the earth. It also knows all kinds of demon arts. It's much harder to deal with than it is now."
Chen Rong added, "It is precisely because this tree demon is injured and needs the nourishment of human essence and blood for a long time that it does not dare to rob people on a large scale and create a ghost city. Otherwise, the seniors and experts of the righteous sects will definitely come to suppress it. It is not a training mission that a small inner sect disciple like me can accept."
Bai Xiaowen suddenly understood. He also felt that it was too easy for a Level-14 Lord like the tree demon to fall.
Although Bai Xiaowen had strategic deception and his True Inner Force was comparable to that of a King, the saber in his hand and the martial arts techniques he used were relatively low-level. His own level was only Level 11.
Seven blades combined into one to heavily injure the Treant Overlord, causing it to lose the ability to resist. No one would believe such a thing.
Also, Bai Xiaowen found that "Health" wasn't exactly the same as "Life" at the Awakened stage.
No matter how much "Life" was lost, it wouldn't affect one's combat power unless they were heavily injured. That was why there was the "Sliver of Life" reversal.
However, "Health" would decrease as one's health fell, weakening one's combat power.
The most important difference was that a vital attack would cause damage equal to one-third of one's maximum health, which would cause an instant kill.
However, Bai Xiaowen had just used a vital attack on the tree demon, and the tree demon's Health had obviously fallen by more than one-third, but it didn't trigger an instant kill! This was also very thought-provoking.
According to Bai Xiaowen's speculations, there should be no such rule as' one-shot 'when a critical attack hit one-third of the target's HP.
However, if a heavy blow hit a vital point, it could cause the opponent's health to plummet. Moreover, the opponent's spiritual energy would fall into chaos, greatly reducing their combat power. Take this Tree Demon for example. After being hit by Bai Xiaowen's Seven Illusory Consecutive Slash, it had basically become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. It did not have a trace of the might of a Great Demon.
As Bai Xiaowen was savoring the rewards of this battle, Chen Rong's voice suddenly rang out. "Daoist Lu, I'll leave the Ancient Locust Tree Demon's corpse to you."
"Huh?" Bai Xiaowen did not react for a moment.
Chen Rong said with a smile, "According to the rules of our Dao Sect, whoever kills a fiendish demon will be able to obtain the demon's treasure. There are still many rare materials in the Tree Demon's corpse. This Tree Demon has probably cultivated for a thousand years. Just its corpse alone is worth a fortune. "
Bai Xiaowen understood.
It seemed that although the rules of Evolvers had removed the spoils of war from treasure chests and did not restrict pick-up, in terms of benefits, there was still a faint inclination towards "more work, more rewards".
The Wood and Stone Demons from before should have been killed by Chen Rong and his companion. In that case, the materials and items dropped by the Wood and Stone Demons must have belonged to Chen Rong.
After understanding this, Bai Xiaowen nimbly went to check the Tree Demon's corpse.
Pulling open the Tree Demon's cracked wooden trunk, Bai Xiaowen directly cut out a lump of white wood from the Tree Demon's vital point.
Although it was said to be wood, it felt a little meaty. There was a trace of warmth to the touch and a trace of elasticity when pressed.
Bai Xiaowen's Eye of Evolution turned slightly, and the rules of the Spirit Realm sent a message:
"Due to unknown reasons, you've identified the target item."
"Thousand-Year Locust Tree Heart: Level-4 Dark Gold Material, Wood-Type Treasure."
At the level of Evolvers, the rules of the Spirit Realm would not automatically give out hints about spiritual items. Only an expert with a certain level of identification ability could identify them. With the help of the Eye of Evolution, Bai Xiaowen was equivalent to having an expert identification master by his side.
Chen Rong praised, "What a good Tree Heart. If Fellow Cultivator Lu cultivates wood-type techniques or skills, using this Tree Heart will definitely yield twice the results with half the effort. If not, you can also use it to ask an expert to refine a magic weapon. "
Bai Xiaowen asked, "Can it be used to set up a formation?" He thought of the protective shield of his territory. The Five-Element Treasures needed for the Five-Element Formation had not been found yet.
Chen Rong said, "It's a bit of a waste to use the Big Demon's Tree Heart to set up a formation."
After a pause, Chen Rong continued, "If Fellow Cultivator Lu wants to use wood-type treasures to set up a formation, you don't actually need the Tree Heart. The wood around the Tree Heart is also a rare spiritual wood. It's more than enough to set up an ordinary formation. "
Under Chen Rong's guidance, Bai Xiaowen continued to dissect the Wood Demon's corpse with the broken knife. Soon, he dug out four large pieces of white wood.
The Eye of Evolution appraised them.
"Animated Spiritual Wood: Level-4 Gold Material, wood-type treasure."
Each of the four large pieces of Animated Spiritual Wood was more than three meters tall. It was enough to make the rafters of some small houses. This was also the essence of the Tree Demon's corpse, aside from the Thousand-Year Pagoda Tree Heart.
Bai Xiaowen said, "Fellow Cultivator Chen, everyone has a share. How about you and Manager Chen each take a piece of Spiritual Wood?"
Chen Rong waved his hand and said, "Killing the Tree Demon is Fellow Cultivator Lu's credit. We've received a life-saving grace from Fellow Cultivator Lu. How can we be ashamed to share your spoils?"
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "That's not true. If it weren't for the two of you restraining the Tree Demon, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to get close to it alone, let alone kill it. The two of you can take it yourselves. Please don't refuse. "
Did Bai Xiaowen change his personality?
NO。
The storage space was really not big enough!
A storage space of ten cubic meters was more than enough for the entire Awakened stage. However, after coming to the Evolutionary Plane, it quickly became insufficient.
Each of the four pieces of Animated Spiritual Wood was at least three cubic meters. Four pieces … could not fit it at all.
Bai Xiaowen missed the Dark Gold equipment he had lost, the Golden Pattern Jade Belt, and the team storage space. It was gone. It was all gone.
Moreover, in the Spiritual Plane, Bai Xiaowen could not use the teleportation function of the territory's authority. Otherwise, he could just throw it into the territory. No matter how many spoils there were, it would be enough to accommodate it.
Chen Rong and Chen Meng saw that Bai Xiaowen did not seem to be faking it. They took two pieces of Animated Spiritual Wood and gave them to Chen Rong.
Chen Rong just waved his hand and put away the two pieces of Spiritual Wood. This move made Bai Xiaowen slightly surprised, but then he felt somewhat relieved. Chen Rong must have some kind of storage device, such as a storage bracelet, storage ring, and so on.
This kind of rare item that did not exist in the Awakened Plane should be more common in the Evolutionary Plane.
Bai Xiaowen silently remembered this detail. It seemed that searching for a storage device with a large enough capacity was also an important matter.
