Chapter 411: Chapter 290: Harvest and Compensation_2

"Withered Glory Rebirth was born from a plant, so it needs to be combined with other plant abilities to unleash its full potential," Ren Mian said confidently. "The effects are completely different when I fuse it compared to when you fuse it."

"I am a Plant Witch; I can develop other abilities around Withered Glory Rebirth."

"It’s far more than just a revival; it can significantly speed up the growth of the plants I control, creating favorable conditions for many plant studies."

"I can also use other plants to compensate for the weaknesses of Withered Glory Rebirth, ensuring I can definitely be revived."

Ren Mian’s eyes sparkled.

"It belongs to you now." Ji Xinghuo noticed her desire for Withered Glory Rebirth; this Ability would be too wasteful for him or Qing Hong.

He thrust the Ability into Ren Mian’s hands. "What compensation will Sister Ren give me?"

"Thank you."

Ren Mian sincerely thanked him; she was well aware of what it meant for a Mutant to give up a Star-falling Ability, and said with a light smile, "What do you want?"

"If I say it, will Sister Ren give it to me?" Ji Xinghuo’s face broke into a hint of suggestiveness.

"Don’t get any funny ideas," Ren Mian chided.

"Haha..."

Ji Xinghuo laughed, but truthfully, he really didn’t know what compensation he should ask for.

A Star-falling Ability along with a staff was highly valuable, but a Heavenly Treasure Diamond, over fifty Ether Crystals, and several hundred thousand True Dragon Coins, plus some other treasures, added up to a similar value.

He couldn’t ask for too much compensation.

Seeing him a bit conflicted, Ren Mian suggested, "How about I give you some Ether Crystals?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xinghuo’s mind clicked.

Taking Ether Crystals directly would make the transaction seem too calculated, too clear-cut, and would make their relationship seem estranged.

It was better to ask for something not overly valuable for Sister Ren but greatly beneficial to himself.

Like the Sky Blue Fruit.

He immediately smiled, "No need for the Ether Crystals, how about Sister Ren gives me some Sky Blue Fruit instead?"

"What do you need Sky Blue Fruit for?"

Ren Mian’s eyes were puzzled; her Qingkong Forest was filled with tens of thousands of Sky Blue Fruits, a peculiar item for expansion effective only for Mutants below Third Rank. If she took out some time to cultivate them, she could have as many as she wanted.

She thought that Ji Xinghuo wanting the Sky Blue Fruit was just him being modest, not wanting to take advantage of the Withered Glory Rebirth Ability to benefit himself.

"Sky Blue Fruit is useful to me, and very much so. Give me a batch of the fruit first; if it works, I’ll tell you," Ji Xinghuo said mysteriously.

"Agreed."

Ren Mian did not press further. "After we return, you handle those Sky Blue Fruits."

"Okay," Ji Xinghuo nodded.

His mind was already contemplating how to trade with the Void Spirit Guest to ensure the maximum safety for both him and Sister Ren.

If he really traded for a large amount of Ether Crystals, he would definitely share some with Sister Ren.

The two rested for over an hour.

Ji Xinghuo’s Star Power was fully restored.

Ren Mian stood up, holding the staff; she studied it for a while but still had no results, so she temporarily used it as her weapon.

She looked up at the sky; Earth Abyss Star had only seven and a half hours of daylight, and it was almost dark. At night, the visibility of satellites significantly decreased, and orbital laser cannons could not provide support, making it even more dangerous.

In Level Five and Level Six areas, underground shelters were extremely rare.

"There are no shelters nearby," Ren Mian checked the map, "We can’t camp in the wilderness either, so we must risk continuing on."

Ji Xinghuo agreed.

The two disguised themselves again as Fungal Giants, rode on the Wolf Soul Wood, protected by a pack of wolves as they moved forward.

After a while, they encountered another monster.

They traveled in the dark all night without disturbing any monsters, and as dawn approached, Ji Xinghuo and Ren Mian entered a Level Six area.

There are four Level Six areas on Earth Abyss Star, covering a total area of approximately three million square kilometers.

Deep within this land lies "Eternal Night City," where the Star Gate is located.

Ji Xinghuo looked off into the distance, not spotting any mountain ranges. The satellite map also marked this area as a great plain, but whether it was naturally formed or repeatedly flattened by the Crystal Elite Clan was unknown.

The entire plain was covered by towering trees, resembling a green ocean.

Turning over the grass and leaves beneath his feet, the soil was mixed with large amounts of glass-like debris, all formed by high temperatures.

The air also was filled with invisible radiation.

Ren Mian stimulated her thought necklace and said in her mind, "We need to be even more careful from now on, most dangers come from underground."

"Shall we fly?" Ji Xinghuo suggested.

Since danger lurked underground, they needed to stay away from the ground. Of course, they couldn’t fly too high either, as that would make them easy targets.

Ren Mian nodded, "Okay."

Ji Xinghuo cradled her in his arms.

Having been carried often over the past few days, she had grown accustomed to it and wrapped her arms around Ji Xinghuo’s neck. Ji Xinghuo didn’t fly too high, hovering about five meters above the ground, maintaining a steady, low-speed flight as they passed through the forest.

Electromagnetic induction was constantly activated, scouting their surroundings and underground.

They hadn’t flown far when Ji Xinghuo’s expression subtly changed. Ahead was a massive banyan tree, over a hundred meters tall, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters. Not only did it form a forest on its own, but its root system was even more developed, penetrating deep underground, beyond the range of the electromagnetic induction.

The banyan tree on the surface was just the tip of the iceberg.

Ji Xinghuo wasn’t sure if it was a banyan tree, but it resembled one. The tree was home to tens of thousands of pale gray demonic birds, so many that they weighed down the branches and leaves.

Its body was covered in countless vines, which twisted and rolled like living creatures.

"Vine-banyan complex."

Ren Mian thought internally, "It’s a type of monster, in the mid-stage of evolution. We must not get close."

Ji Xinghuo naturally didn’t approach it, choosing to bypass it from a distance.

"This is only mid-evolution?"

The target of this hunt was a vine-banyan complex, and he deduced through Ether Energy fluctuations that the one before them had already reached the Heavenly King Level.

There are three stages in the Heavenly King Level.

Ji Xinghuo, having limited contact with Mutant Heavenly Kings, didn’t fully understand the distinctions between different ranks, but it seemed terrifying enough to him.

Previously, Sister Ren had mentioned that the vine-banyan complex they were seeking to kill had evolved to the later stage.

Stronger than the one before them!

"I have a method for dealing with the vine-banyan complex," Ren Mian explained, "Don’t worry, we aren’t going to throw our lives away recklessly."

"That’s good."

Ji Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Focused on flying, his electromagnetic induction detected lurking monsters on the route, and, with Ren Mian’s familiarity with plants, they carefully navigated around all the dangers.

This slowed their progress, but it was safe.

After continuous flight for over forty hours, or three days and nights on Earth Abyss Star, they had only covered a distance of over five hundred kilometers.

Finally, they arrived at Ren Mian’s predetermined destination.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the vast forest ahead. There was no apparent difference from the areas they had passed through before. As far as he could see, it was an ocean of vegetation.

Without satellite positioning, it would have been hard to tell that this was the center of a Sixth Level region.

"Over there."

Ren Mian checked the satellite and pointed in a direction.

Ji Xinghuo flew towards it, gently landed, and set Ren Mian down. Before them in the forest was a low hill, completely engulfed by vegetation. If one didn’t know beforehand, it would be difficult to notice any difference.

Electromagnetic induction identified an anomaly.

Ren Mian walked towards the hill, lightly waved her hand, and the plants blocking her way were moved aside, revealing a hidden entrance.

Behind the entrance was a passage, but it was mostly collapsed, overtaken by numerous plants.

"We’re going in."

Ren Mian entered the passage without hesitation.

Ji Xinghuo followed her, watching as she used plants to prop open a narrow path through the collapsed debris and headed downward.

This passage was clearly man-made, akin to an underground shelter, but on a much larger scale.

As they proceeded, Ren Mian cleared the obstacles, continually delving deeper underground, passing through several spaces that were clearly meant to be architectural platforms, but all were destroyed and ancient. Monsters and plants that had taken residence were easily dispatched by the two.

After many hours, Ji Xinghuo estimated they were about twenty kilometers below the surface, having entered the crust of Earth Abyss Star.

He did not dare to relax.

Through electromagnetic induction, he saw countless roots embedded in the surrounding crust, denser than those on the surface!

These roots had carved out various caves and passageways, creating an incredibly complex labyrinth, harboring countless monsters and forming a unique underground ecosystem. Along the way, Ren Mian, with her mastery over plants, managed to avoid them.

Finally, the space before Ji Xinghuo suddenly opened up, revealing a vast underground area.

Ren Mian stopped, thinking internally: "We’ve arrived."
