"Buzz~"
The tremor in the ground grew stronger and stronger.
More and more tree roots were pulling up from the ground.
Colonel An watched in amazement as clusters of tree roots entwined together to form a sturdy support leg.
Thousands of tree roots divided into dozens of supporting legs, surprisingly lifting the thick trunk.
Each supporting leg had a diameter of no less than five meters, like giant columns.
This fir tree "stood" up just like that.
Colonel An looked up at the ever taller tree crown and then down at the giant columns, unable to say a word.
"Caw!"
Bai Liu Shiba called out again.
The support legs of the giant tree moved slightly, and the massive tree body shifted about five meters sideways.
Each time the support legs touched the ground, though gentle, they inevitably caused a noticeable vibration.
Colonel An was dumbfounded.
How could he not know that this was the way the Crow's Nest moved?
You said the tree was too big, making it difficult to move?
Well, just watch it move now!
Bai Liu Shiba said, "Its name is 'Linjiang,' and it will escort us during the Arctic exploration."
The name "Linjiang" naturally came from the place name Linjiang City.
This was Yang Fan's tribute to his hometown.
Colonel An came back to his senses and realized something: "This tree... um, has Linjiang already become a Tree Spirit?"
Bai Liu Shiba nodded his bird head: "Of course! Tonight, it completed its final transformation."
Colonel An swallowed, unsure of what to say.
Last time, a mutated Tree Monster appeared in Great Xia, and the Superpower Research Institute proposed a topic—how to cultivate Great Xia's own Tree Spirit.
The institute had not yet figured out a clue, but unexpectedly, Mr. Spirit Crows, without a word, cultivated the first Tree Spirit on Canglan Star.
Judging from Linjiang's size, it was probably even stronger than the Tree Monster the convoy encountered.
By the way.
The terms "Tree Monster" and "Tree Spirit" came from the Secret Scripture.
Mutant plant creatures are different from mutant animals.
The former possesses a peculiar thing—a Spirit Core.
The Spirit Core is akin to a soul, existing in a realm between reality and illusion.
Essentially, Tree Monsters and Tree Spirits are the same thing.
The difference lies in their Spirit Core.
The Tree Monster's Spirit Core consciousness inherently hostile to all non-plant life.
While the Tree Spirit's Spirit Core consciousness is willing to be close to other life forms.
At this time.
The enormous commotion caused by the Tree Spirit Linjiang naturally startled the entire Lingya Park.
Members of the Liren Special Team, hearing the noise, came out to watch, all being awestruck.
A large group of superpower users subordinate to the Fifth War Zone were also quite startled.
They possessed Supernatural Power and could distinctly sense the immense strength hidden within the Tree Spirit's body.
At a distance of several hundred meters.
A superpower user with a hint of strange light green skin, wearing only a thin jacket, stared at the Tree Spirit in shock.
Next to him, a burly superpower user clicked his tongue: "I feel like this tree could easily whip me into two halves with a single root."
The green-skinned superpower user nodded, "Once plants evolve into Tree Spirits, their strength far exceeds that of human superpower users, though their mutation is much more difficult."
The burly superpower user turned to his colleague, a hint of teasing in his voice: "Old Lu, didn't you say yesterday that it would take at least five more years for a fir tree to become a Tree Spirit?"
The green-skinned superpower user looked displeased: "My name is Yuan Changtao, don't be calling me Old Lu."
He immediately went on to explain: "The Superpower Secret Scripture records that once a plant starts to transform into a Tree Spirit, it will condense a prototype of a Spirit Core.
"At this time, using superpower to sense the plant, it's possible to detect a faint Spirit Core awareness, which is the so-called 'Tree Spirit aptitude.'
"The Plant Branch of the Superpower Research Institute spent a lot of manpower and resources searching throughout the country to find two plants with Tree Spirit aptitude, proving this theory.
"I sensed the fir yesterday and didn't detect anything at all..."
Before he could finish.
He was interrupted by his companion.
The burly superpower user pointed a finger at the giant tree, smirking: "Such a big Tree Spirit is right here, you sensed nothingness."
Old Lu choked hard.
But his colleague was speaking the truth; no matter how many excuses he found, he lacked a shred of convincing evidence.
Old Lu stewed for a moment, then muttered softly: "The Secret Scripture wouldn't write randomly; it must be that Mr. Spirit Crows is just too amazing."
Just then.
"Ding!"
The sound of a phone suddenly rang out.
Old Lu paused for a moment, immediately took out his phone, unlocked it, and glanced at it, his expression subtly changing.
The burly superpower user asked curiously: "What's up?"
Old Lu replied, "The legion's mission is here; I've been selected to join the Arctic Reconnaissance Expedition Team, first batch of fifty people, departing in half an hour."
Without hesitation, he turned to leave: "I have to go pack my things."
The burly superpower user exclaimed, "Why didn't I receive the mission?"
Old Lu finally found a chance to retort, laughing without looking back, "Only the elite are selected for the expedition team; guys like you can stay home and enjoy the heating."
The burly superpower user cursed, "Wish you this damned dog, get turned into an Arctic popsicle!"

Lanshan Mansion Villa District.
The entire process of the Tree Spirit rising from the ground unfolded clearly in Yang Fan's eyes.
He smiled slightly: "This method really works!"
Previously, when the heavy convoy was attacked by a Tree Monster, he dispatched the Slaughter Battleaxe, using the Spirit Tree to devour the Tree Monster alive.
He wielded the magical power of the Life Decree to merge the Tree Monster's Spirit Core with the fir.
Thus, this giant tree evolved into the powerful Tree Spirit Linjiang.
This kind of "Law Level" secret technique is something only a Venerable Level can dabble in, naturally surpassing what the Secret Scripture records.
Yang Fan observed the Tree Spirit from afar, becoming more satisfied the more he looked: "Linjiang's future potential could at least reach the Knight Level."
As the first batch of plant life on Canglan Star, the potential of that Tree Monster is enormous.
Linjiang absorbed this characteristic and its potential greatly enhanced.
Yang Fan felt a bit smug: "In Xiaoye Liangzi's dream realm, Great Xia, thirty years later, had fewer than ten Knight Level powerhouses.
"Now with my help, the number of knights in the future should easily increase a hundredfold."
A hundredfold, that's a thousand knights.
Having so many knights, Great Xia could sweep across the entire Canglan Star.
For a newly emerged civilization world in the Primordial World, this is undoubtedly a stunning number.
With a thought, Yang Fan connected with Linjiang's Spirit Core consciousness, instructing: "Open the barrier with full force."
The so-called "barrier" is the Wind Blocking Barrier.
This is the power inherited from the Tree Monster's Spirit Core.
"Rustle!"
The faint sound of leaves rubbing instantly rang out.

Lingya Park.
A dozen selected superpower users had already gathered beneath the towering fir.
Dozens more superpower users were rushing over at the fastest speed.
"Buzz~"
The Tree Spirit occasionally shifted its support columns, and the ground trembled in response.
Old Lu stared at the ground with a peculiar expression.
As far as he knew, this fir's texture was extremely hard, with a density more than twice that of ordinary trees.
Even a rough estimate put its weight close to 5000 tons.
For such a massive thing to move, yet the ground showed no signs of depression.
Other superpower users noticed the issue too, and began to discuss quietly.
"What is going on?"
"The Tree Spirit seems to have distributed its weight over a very large area in some manner, simply put, the stress on the ground is very small."
"I feel the same, the pressure this tree exerts on the ground isn't much more than us stepping on the ground."
"Incredible! No wonder the Secret Scripture says once plants mutate, their strength often far exceeds that of humans."
