Chapter 222: Another Name of the Dragon Claw Grass
“It’s about time. I thought you were already awake.” Ye Chen did not feel guilty about Zhurong’s scolding.
“You’ve been making a fuss for a long time. How can you stop me from resting for a longer time?” Zhurong asked bluntly.
“Why do you still need to rest? Get up early and prepare.” Ye Chen was very speechless. After taking a look at Zhurong, he opened the interface and checked Zhurong’s data.
[Zhurong]
[Race: Human-Faced Bird]
[Rank: Divine Beast]
[Maturity: Growth Period, Adulthood]
[Innate Mystic Ability: ?]
[Attack: 1,136,500 (?)]
[Defense: 1,086,900 (?)]
[Master: Ye Chen]
The two values had already recovered to the Ten-Million Level. It was a significant improvement from the values on the interface before he went to bed. Although most of the values came from Zhurong’s main body outside the array, this also meant that the two Zhurong’s consciousnesses inside the array had merged quite well.
In short, it was definitely in a state where its mental energy was enough. It did not need to rest to recover. Therefore, Ye Chen did not feel guilty for disturbing it.
......
The most important thing now was to eliminate the possible danger factors.
After carefully checking the area where the Spirit Stones were blown up, Zhurong’s expression became slightly more serious.
“What experiment did you do here just now? There was an explosion, right? What did you use to make it like this?” It asked Ye Chen, “Judging from the damage here, it should have been caused by a combat strength above Level 100,000. Has your strength increased so quickly?”
Since creating an explosion out of thin air required Fire Spiritual Energy and Ye Chen was the only one near the place where the explosion happened, it naturally thought that Ye Chen was the one who created the explosion. Hence, it sighed at Ye Chen’s speed of improvement.
“How could it be me? My combat strength is at most Level 10,000. How could I create an explosion of this level?” Ye Chen shook his head and raised a fragment of the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass at Zhurong from afar. “It’s this thing. I suggest you come and take a look. Remember to put away your Spiritual Energy and test its attack value to see how big its attack range is.”
After he finished speaking, he saw Zhurong looking at him speechlessly.
“You’re not suggesting that I come over to take a look. I have no reason not to help, right?” It mocked Ye Chen.
Although it did not show mercy with its words, it still walked to Ye Chen’s side and looked at the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass in his hand. Then, it asked, “Isn’t this the kind of grass that’s always next to the Life and Death Wood? It can actually cause an explosion?”
Zhurong did recognize this plant, but it seemed that it didn’t know the reason why the Dragon Claw Grass would cause an explosion.
For this reason, Ye Chen could only summarize the information he knew at the moment and repeat it to Zhurong.
“So this is actually the characteristic of this plant in the Sky Domain?” Zhurong seemed to have come to a realization. “I’m really not sure about the Sky Domain you’re talking about. It feels quite magical. It can actually give plants this characteristic… You have to know that no matter what kind of plant it is, it’s natural to be afraid of fire. However, this plant can make itself have the characteristic of explosives…”
It rambled for a long time but Ye Chen only grasped one main point.
“Why do you keep calling it ‘this plant’? Doesn’t it have a name?” He asked doubtfully.
When the leader of the Feather Dragons mentioned the Dragon Claw Grass before, it was also a little vague about how to address it. It called this plant that was formed in the Sky Domain the Dragon Claw Grass but did not have a clear name for the foreign realm that the Feather Dragons lived in. This made Ye Chen a little confused.
However, this phenomenon happened again in Zhurong’s words, making him wonder if there was any hidden information.
“You can say that it doesn’t have a specific name,” Zhurong said. “It has too many names. This thing can be said to have been raised by the Life and Death Wood to help purify Spiritual Energy. The races with different types of Spiritual Energy address it differently because it can absorb any kind of Spiritual Energy. It’s just that it’s useless to fire-type mutated beasts, so the Human-Faced Birds doesn’t have a nice name for this plant. We used to call it the Gluttony Grass.”
This name was indeed very different from the Dragon Claw Grass.
However, Ye Chen could understand why it was called the Dragon Claw Grass. After all, judging from its appearance, every independent grass stem on the long vine had four curved threads. After being petrified, it looked similar to a dragon claw.
However, the name Gluttony Grass was clearly named after some characteristics.
“Why is it called the Gluttony Grass? Will there be any consequences when it swallows Spiritual Energy?” Ye Chen asked according to his thoughts.
“Of course. Didn’t I say that the Life and Death Wood is rare? That can also be said to be caused by this plant,” Zhurong replied. “Although it’s a companion plant of the Life and Death Wood, it really lacks the consciousness to hide itself. If it grows too much, it will often destroy the other Spiritual Energy around it and the things that connect to it. In the end, even the land will disappear and the Life and Death Wood will eventually fall into the Earth Fire in the Wilderness and die. This phenomenon is quite common and especially fast.”
Ye Chen heard the system notification sound a few times but no red dots appeared. He knew that the system was updating the information again.
However, just as he was about to say that he already understood the situation of the Dragon Claw Grass and could start letting Zhurong look at its explosive value, a red dot appeared in front of him. It appeared above the fragment of the Petrified Dragon Claw Grass in Ye Chen’s hand.
“Do I have to look at the updated information? It clearly only secretly updated it without a red dot last time.” Ye Chen frowned but still opened the unread message.
As he expected, there was a lot more introduction of the Dragon Claw Grass. It was basically supplemented with Zhurong’s explanation. However, other than that, there was also something that Ye Chen did not pay much attention to before that was marked in red. There was also a small string of notes. It was obvious that the Titan God was sending him information through the system.
“When the Dragon Claw Grass absorbs Spiritual Energy, it will affect items with Spiritual Energy, including the land. In the end, it will disappear…” He muttered to himself, “The note is that there is no land in the Sky Domain… F*ck! ”
Ye Chen was shocked. He instantly sensed the terrifying connection between the two messages.
