Chapter 158: The Last Stage (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This abandoned forest was a little empty. There were not many trees. Most of the trees were very dilapidated. The key to passing this round was to repair these broken trees and let more trees grow here, restoring the forest to its former vitality. This required everyone to use their Qi Force to repair and grow the trees. It was like using Qi Force to accelerate the growth of the spiritual tree qi in Tree Shadow City.
This immediately made them frown. Unexpectedly, this round actually wanted them to do such physical work. Once there was a large consumption of Qi Force in this stage, it would be very disadvantageous to their subsequent actions.
In fact, at this point, they also understood the rules of each stage.
There was a price to pay to pass every stage here. For example, if he killed the tree spirit in the first round, he would face the price of being corroded by the tree spirit’s aura. In this round, a large amount of Qi Force would be depleted.
These costs would make it difficult for them to maintain their optimal state when they arrived at the core of the ancient tree.
Of course, they would also have to make a choice. That was, they could give up on clearing the stage and not have to pay such a price. But if they gave up on clearing the stage, there would be no important items after clearing the stage.
To Cheng Tianhao, he was certain that the important thing after clearing the stage was the key to allowing him to obtain the ancient tree crystal. Therefore, he would not give up on every stage.
“I have some pills that can quickly recover Qi Force. You don’t have to worry too much about the consumption of Qi Force.” Cheng Tianhao said to everyone.
When the hand guards heard this, they could only agree to do it. They began to use their Qi Force to repair and grow the trees.
Xiao Shi looked at the broken trees here. Others still needed to use their own Qi Force to repair and grow, but to him, he only needed a thought to repair these trees and let new trees grow. With his current authority, there was no need to expend any Qi Force. It was completely easy and stressless to pass this stage.
However, with Xiao Shi’s personality, it was impossible for him to directly reveal his differences in front of everyone. Even if his current identity was not his true identity, his personality would not let him do this.
Like the others, he pretended to use his Qi Force to repair and grow the trees here.
Cheng Tianhao also gave the pills to everyone to recover their Qi Force. After everyone swallowed the pills, the Qi Force in their bodies began to recover. However, this recovery speed was clearly incomparable to Xiao Shi’s Qi Recovery Pill. At the very least, it would prevent everyone from depleting their Qi Force too quickly.
After everyone’s hard work, they successfully restored this abandoned forest to a dense forest. They successfully passed this stage.
Cheng Tianhao also obtained an important item for this round. This was a special branch. After wrapping this branch around his arm, it could be used. The function of this branch was to absorb the aura of the spiritual tree every once in a while and turn it into Qi Force.
Which meant, once he had this branch, he could use this branch to continuously replenish his Qi Force if he was to fight inside the ancient tree or if his Qi Force was depleted due to other reasons. He did not have to worry about the depletion of Qi Force anymore.
Unfortunately, this branch could only be provided to one person. It could not be like the important items in the second round, where everyone had them.
After Xiao Shi learned about the use of this branch, he also understood his third authority here.
Unlimited Qi Force!
Compared to the fact that this branch could only absorb the spiritual tree qi every once in a while, Xiao Shi’s authority was even more shocking. It directly allowed him to absorb the spiritual tree qi at any time. After transforming, it became Lunar Qi. This ensured that there would be an endless stream of Qi Force in this ancient tree.
Not only that, the spiritual tree qi transformed into Lunar Qi could also allow Xiao Shi to use this to attack the last Qi vortex.
Although the difficulty of opening the last Qi vortex was extremely high, Xiao Shi thought that with this endless Lunar Qi, he would be able to break through the last Qi Lock sooner or later.
After obtaining the important item of the third stage, they continued to the fourth stage.
There was only one tree in the entire fourth stage. It was an incomparably tall tree. The condition for clearing this stage was to let the huge tree grow fruits. At the same time, this fruit would also become an important item after they cleared this stage.
“How can I make the huge tree grow fruits?” The hand guards fell into deep thought.
“Could it be the same as before, using Qi Force to accelerate the growth?” Some people guessed.
“It can indeed form fruits with Qi Force, but the fruits formed in this way are not very useful.” Cheng Tianhao shook his head. The moment he arrived, he had some understanding of the situation of clearing this stage. “In fact, it’s not difficult to pass this stage, but the key is… the power of the fruit formed!”
Everyone nodded. After all, the conditions for clearing this stage were important items after clearing it. It was very easy to clear the stage. However, it was not simple to form a more powerful fruit.
Cheng Tianhao walked to the huge tree. He reached out to touch the huge tree..
