159: The Tree of Souls' requirements! You have a contract sent via private message!

[Buzz!]

[Your neighbor, the Soul Spirit Tree, has gained an opportunity to communicate with you by sacrificing mist rule!]

[During this communication state, the Soul Spirit Tree will not cause any pollution to you!]

[Do you wish to communicate with the Soul Spirit Tree?]

Su Lie looked at the prompt from the mist rule, and after thinking, he decided to communicate.

Buzz!

The moment he agreed, a branch of the Soul Spirit Tree grew onto the top of the city wall, and a triangular eye appeared in the branch.

The eye looked at Su Lie and sent a voice through the soul: "Respected neighbor! I am the Soul Spirit Tree who had a chance encounter with you!"

"I know you! Thank you for the quest!"

Su Lie's lips curled slightly, and he laughed.

The Soul Spirit Tree felt relieved upon seeing this, and it said enthusiastically: "I am a peaceful species of the Mist World, and I am willing to be a friendly neighbor with you for life!"

"I am also very happy about that!"

While responding, Su Lie silently thought: "Is this the only reason it wanted to see me? That shouldn't be right!"

The Soul Spirit Tree immediately continued: "I am willing to offer one of my branches to trade with you! The content of the trade is that you must move your Shelter to a much farther area!"

"I sensed the aura of one of my kind in your Shelter!"

"You must know that there cannot be two Soul Spirit Trees in the same area, or one must die!"

"My emotions have been stirred by that faint aura, and my inner killing intent has surged. I believe the Soul Spirit Tree in your Shelter feels the same way!"

"Therefore! For everyone's sake, I hope you can agree to my request!"

"In addition, I will also trade you a Shelter Relocation Decree!"

"I know this is presumptuous, but please, you must agree to my request!"

The Soul Spirit Tree's tone was quite sincere.

Even before it finished speaking.

A prompt from the mist rule had already appeared in Su Lie's line of sight.

[Buzz!]

[You have received a mandatory quest!]

[Quest Requirement: Immediately relocate the Shelter to an area 10 kilometers away from the Soul Spirit Tree!]

[Quest Reward Items: Shelter Relocation Decree! 1 unit of Soul Spirit Wood]

[Note: Once you use the Shelter Relocation Decree, you will lose the Shelter Secondary Advancement Quest!]

[Note: The Shelter Secondary Advancement Quest requires the Shelter to advance from Level 1 to Level 2 at its current location.]

[Note: This is a mandatory quest from the Soul Spirit Tree. You may refuse! You may also accept! There is no Mist Points reward for accepting!]

[Note: You may refuse this quest! The consequence is being blockaded by the Soul Spirit Tree and becoming enemies!]

"Hmm?"

Su Lie frowned.

The Soul Spirit Tree's urgency made him quite displeased.

This was hardly communication; it was clearly demanding he move his Shelter with the gentlest tone and the strongest attitude.

Moreover.

According to the prompt from the mist rule, relocating would cause him to lose the Shelter Secondary Advancement Quest.

This was unacceptable to him.

"Since the sacrifice quest includes hunting the Soul Spirit Tree, why not take this opportunity to kill it!"

After thinking, Su Lie made a decision.

He still smiled: "Please allow me to consider it!"

"Ugh! Alright! I will come back early tomorrow morning! I hope you will have made up your mind by then! I can't control my killing intent for long. If I destroy your Shelter then, don't say I didn't warn you beforehand!"

The Soul Spirit Tree's regretful voice sounded.

Clatter!

Soon.

The Soul Spirit Tree's branch retracted back into the surrounding ruins.

Su Lie turned his head and looked at Su Liya: "Call No. 4, and come to the Shelter for a meeting!"

"Yes!"

Su Liya quickly went nearby and called No. 4 Little Skeleton down.

Upon returning inside the Shelter.

Su Lie looked at No. 4 Little Skeleton and asked: "Are our attacks effective against the Soul Spirit Tree?"

No. 4 Little Skeleton shook its head: "Reporting, Master! Soul Flying Missile and Fireball Spell have absolutely no effect on it!"

Su Liya translated these words.

It turned out that during the initial conflict, the Black Tortoise Army under No. 4 Little Skeleton had already opened fire.

And they had consecutively used the Fireball Spell and Soul Flying Missile.

But to No. 4's dismay, both attacks were ineffective.

However.

When the Soul Spirit Tree attacked the Shelter, it could only attack the city wall, but it couldn't attack the Little Skeletons on the wall.

Moreover, there was a pause between each attack.

When she mentioned this.

Su Lie looked toward Su Liya.

Su Liya smiled slightly, instantly understanding Su Lie's thought, and she quickly replied: "Master! The Soul Spirit Tree's attack did not cause any damage to the city wall! I believe it must be our own Soul Spirit Tree that blocked the opponent's attack!"

"Hmm? Oh right! If we want to know the Soul Spirit Tree's weakness, we should ask our own little guy!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up, and only then did he lead the team toward the Sacrifice Garden.

The area of the Garden was several times larger than before.

The distance between the various plants was also growing farther.

When Su Lie walked up to his own Soul Spirit Tree.

The Soul Spirit Tree emitted a joyful sound: "Master! You've finally come!"

"What do you think of the Soul Spirit Tree outside?"

Su Lie asked.

The Soul Spirit Tree chuckled and said arrogantly: "Master doesn't need to pay attention to that fellow! Its quality is two tiers lower than mine, it's Epic quality! But its power is stronger than mine!"

"But so what!"

"It doesn't have a quality as high as mine; I naturally Suppress its power!"

"Don't worry! As long as I am here, the Shelter will definitely be fine!"

It spoke with unusual ease.

Su Lie felt relieved after hearing this, and he said with a smile: "It seems the opponent was attacking with all its might just now!"

"Of course! That old thing tried to destroy the Shelter right away, using all its power! But I blocked all of it in the end!"

The Soul Spirit Tree in the Garden said cheerfully.

Su Lie then asked about the Soul Spirit Tree's weakness.

After hearing this, it said readily: "Master! We can devour all matter and life in the form of souls and energy. Attacks related to soul and Mist power, such as Soul Flying Missile and Fireball Spell, are useless against us!"

"We fear two types of power: one is the Insect Race! The other is corrosive venom! The Insect Race will eat us, and corrosive venom will poison us!"

After finishing.

It requested with great anticipation: "Please, Master, bestow a name upon me!"

"Alright! From now on, you will be called Su Ling!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately gave the Soul Spirit Tree a name.

"Su Ling! Su Ling! This name is simply wonderful! Thank you, Master!"

Su Ling said excitedly.

As it spoke, its tone changed, shifting from a neutral voice toward a soft, feminine one.

Su Lie didn't notice this. He muttered excitedly: "For the insects, I have the Rotten Insect Mother, which can breed the Insect Race! Corrosive venom... I have that too! I can use corrosive red date to attack the Soul Spirit Tree!"

"But I only have 5,047,500 strong acid red date..."

Thinking of this.

He took out a corrosive red date that had been Strengthened last night from his ruyi pouch, and he said to Su Ling: "Su Ling!..."

"No! Master! Please call me Ling'er! I feel that sounds more intimate!"

Su Ling, the Soul Spirit Tree, interrupted Su Lie.

Su Lie's lips curled, and he nodded: "Ling'er! Look at this attack, how many of these would it take to kill the Soul Spirit Tree outside!"

As he spoke.

He threw the corrosive red date in his hand toward an empty space far away.

Boom!

After the corrosive red date landed, there was a muffled thud.

Immediately after, a cloud of corrosive acid Mist condensed.

And a large hole was corroded into the ground.

Su Ling, the Soul Spirit Tree, couldn't help but tremble slightly, and it said solemnly: "Master! Although that old thing is not weak, its body is exceptionally huge! If you have tens of millions of these fruits, you can certainly inflict heavy damage upon it!"

"But if you want to kill it, you would need at least 100 million of these fruits!"

After hearing the Soul Spirit Tree's words.

Su Lie turned his head and said to Su Liya: "Liya! Go outside immediately and get the monster crystal! Use the Sacrifice Garden's sacrifice effect to quickly cultivate 1 billion strong acid red date!"

"Yes! Master!"

Su Liya knelt on one knee and accepted the order.

Currently, the Shelter Garden's sacrifice special effects are threefold.

They are Growth, Harvest, and Ripening.

The strong acid red date tree planted in the Garden is already mature. It only needs to cost 100 monster crystal for Ripening and 100 monster crystal for Harvest.

This date tree can yield 5 million fruits per harvest.

To complete the 1 billion plan.

It only needs to consume 40,000 level 0 monster crystal and perform 200 consecutive sacrifices.

This tedious work naturally didn't require Su Lie to do it himself.

After giving the instructions, Su Lie strode into the Shelter.

He had just arrived in front of the fireplace.

He heard a sound ring out in his mind.

A prompt appeared in his line of sight.

[Ding!]

[You have a contract private message from the Chat Channel!]
