Chapter 987: Chapter 683: Call Me Volcano Butterfly King_2
Green Heart remained silent, envious.
Originally, Dragon Cypress was merely bored, chatting idly with the two fellows, but upon hearing this, a thought stirred in his heart.
Dragon Cypress had yet to figure out how to integrate the Fire Mimicry Ability into the Zhen Beast.
Coincidentally, he possessed both the Hydra and Thousand-Layer Flame Feather abilities himself...
"Purple, how do you plan to combine the water and fire abilities?"
"Simple."
"Simple?"
"Ant, did you forget? My talent ability ’Purple Sun’ is the combination of water and fire in its complete form!"
As Purple spoke, he flapped his wings, causing the surrounding air to collapse, mists to shroud them, the illusion realm to rise, and the world to turn upside down.
In Dragon Cypress’s view, three purple ’suns’ floating above emitted a continuous deadly heat.
Numerous ordinary-sized flash butterflies continuously flew out from the suns, fluttering around, above and below, left and right, flickering constantly.
Purple flames danced on the wings of the flash butterflies.
Dragon Cypress scanned with spiritual power, calming his mind to perceive, feeling a sense of understanding.
This was the combination of water and fire under mist conditions.
The racial talent of the Flash Butterfly Warrior lay here.
An extremely valuable racial talent for reference.
Dragon Cypress’s thoughts turned once more, recalling it was through Purple’s advice that he swiftly mastered the various transformations of the water system’s mist state in the first place.
Purple had some genuine skills.
The Saint Butterfly clan was even better at business than the Flame Spider Caravan, trading away someone like Purple, with immense growth potential, for a divine-grade fruit of moderate value.
Dragon Cypress tentatively said:
"Purple, I can also obtain Divine-Grade Hydromedusa Fruit, as well as various life-extending divine goods. Why not stay and, in the future, travel with me and Mantis King Ink Orchid?"
"Huh?"
Purple jumped in shock, flapping his wings to evade, saying, "How could that work! I have already promised White Crystal Butterfly King."
Green Heart straightforwardly said, "The ancestors of the Saint Butterfly Tribe have produced many powerful Butterfly Kings, and we suspect that, regardless of the situation in the outworld, there is certainly a place where the Saint Butterfly Tribe has planted its roots to stand firm. I wanted to follow the Saint Butterflies, but unfortunately, they didn’t want me..."
So, are you settling for second best, having no choice but to follow the Dark Maple Dragonfly King?
Dragon Cypress: "..."
Dragon Cypress only casually mentioned it, not demanding anything, and turned his gaze to scrutinize Green Heart.
Common dragonflies lay eggs in water, and the larvae, known as ’Chai,’ live in water for several years.
The aerial rulers, the dragonflies, are actually aquatic Insect Clan members.
Almost all Dragonfly Warriors are inherently endowed with Water System Talent Potential.
Some dragonfly species come with one or two additional elemental talent potentials.
The Jade Dragonfly possesses both Water and Wood Element Talent Potentials.
Green Heart, during his time as Mountain Lord, awakened to the Wood Element.
The last time when dealing with the Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King, Green Heart received a share of a Divine-Grade Fruit from Dragon Cypress and decisively chose to awaken the Water System Talent.
However, his awakening was a bit late; his water system abilities were lacking, and now he was already an 8-age period Insect King, with no chance to awaken more water abilities through evolution during slumber.
Green Heart was destined never to comprehend Sea Beast Devouring.
Green Heart was dull, indeed not as good as Purple in many aspects.
Dragon Cypress inquired in a comforting manner: "Green Heart, I can get Divine-Grade Fruits granting various Water System abilities, including Hydromedusa, Vortex Worm, Twilight, Four Corners Realm, Jellyfish of the Ocean Moon, Moon Spots, etc. Do you want to stay and travel with me and Mantis King Ink Orchid?"
Hearing this, Green Heart hesitated, saying, "I’ve already agreed with Dark Maple Dragonfly King, that wouldn’t be right, would it?"
Purple quickly chimed in: "As we travel the continent, the most important thing is reputation. If we break promises, lose our credibility, how can we stand in the insect swarms afterward?"
Green Heart expressed discomfort: "Indeed. We discussed this matter with no fewer than a hundred Insect Kings from Zhibai and Spikemoss continents. Everyone knows... The key is that Azure Mica Ant King and Dark Maple Dragonfly King have given me a fair amount of good benefits..."
"Since that’s the case, just pretend I didn’t say anything."
Dragon Cypress asked, "Green Heart, let me offer you a deal. Rainbow Island needs 21 Divine-Grade Dew Pocket Fruits. Would you be interested in a trade? Whatever divine-grade fruits you need at Mighty Spirit Mountain, you can contact Mantis King Ink Orchid or Fragrant Cypress Assistant King at Rainbow Island. We can help obtain most types available on the continent, and we can trade them equally."
"21?"
"So many?"
"How many Insect Clan Warriors are hidden on Rainbow Island?"
"Ant, do you need any Divine-Grade Volcano Fruits?"
"Great Leader Dragon Cypress, I heard Mantis King Ink Orchid say, Rainbow Island possesses five Blessed Seeds of the Divine Grade?"
"Is that really so? Would you need our help to organize and bypass the caravan to directly trade equally with other tribes..."
Upon hearing this, Green Heart and Purple were invigorated.
There’s no need to bypass the Flame Spider Caravan for exchanges.
Too troublesome.
Dragon Cypress gave a brief introduction to the situation and then chatted idly for a while before sending off the two fellows.
He lay atop the Crystal Python, contemplating deeply for a while, then gathered himself to continue diligently practicing his abilities.
...
...
Silver Cypress, Year 260, Autumn.
It was again the time for the Ocean God’s Scepter to be activated.
The distant groups of idle Old Insect Kings from Zhibai Continent, led by the retiring five old Spider Kings—Snow Velvet, Blood Root, and others—had formed teams and come early.
At the end of autumn, trading in the north concluded.
Large and small Spider King Caravans led the way, and Insect Clan Warriors from all directions arrived successively.
The once tranquil Molan Mountain, after thirty years, became bustling and noisy again.
The Deep Blue God-Given Seed rooted beside the Ocean God’s Scepter became the focus once more:
——What tree is this?
——A God-Given Seed?
——Heard it’s the Life Seed of Great Leader Dragon Cypress!
——Why is it rooted beside the scepter?
——Is there a story behind it?
Great Leader Dragon Cypress personally guarded the scepter.
Cypress and Rainbow Parasol Tree led soldiers standing guard on the walls.
The insect warriors of the Wave Tree Bay United Kingdom defended all entrances.
Entry was permitted with the Sea God Trust Scroll.
End of autumn.
All warriors had arrived.
Warriors sensing the Sea Soul and Tsunami abilities took their respective places according to their numbers.
