Chapter 990: Chapter 684: The Clever Second King ~_2
Dragon Cypress was quite concerned about the evolution and growth in the Scar Realm after the Assistant King entered Star Space.
When it comes to comprehension abilities, even the Ant King couldn’t directly help.
Moreover, you can’t blame them; after all, this Ant King himself isn’t that competent either.
All he could do was urge them to be more diligent and practice hard.
...
...
Winter passed, and spring came.
Early summer.
Year 275 of Silver Cypress.
At noon.
Rainbow Parasol Tree routinely climbed up the city wall for patrol, suddenly startled, vibrated spiritual power, and shouted: "Great King! Great King! Second King~"
"The Second King is coming!"
"..."
"What’s there to get excited about?"
Dragon Cypress stopped his actions and activated his Soul-Setting Ability to sense.
Sure enough,
Ink Orchid, Purple, and Green Heart were walking together, swaying leisurely from the southeast direction. They must have visited Smoke Blue Mountain and were coming from there.
A Giant Mantis, formed by cloud mist, was carrying a faint ant soul on its head.
It was definitely the newly born Little Assistant King, Rainbow Apricot, without a doubt.
Dragon Cypress leaped to the wall top with his legs.
"Great Leader Dragon Cypress!"
Purple and Green Heart accelerated to the front to greet him.
"Dragon Cypress!"
Ink Orchid greeted, the Giant Mantis contracted and spiraled down under the Sea Blue Divine-Given Seed tree.
The Azure, condensed with five Divine Marks, released a Water System Life Energy Field that was four to five times stronger.
The Blue Ice Cypress and Black An, both Divine-Given Seeds rooted beside the Ocean God’s Scepter, quickly resumed growing to over 250 meters in height.
However,
Even though the Sea Blue Divine-Given Seed resumed growing, its speed was still very slow, barely just over a hundred meters.
Ink Orchid became unhappy at once, vibrated spiritual power and questioned: "Sea Blue, why are you only this tall? Did the ant shortchange you on Source Stone?"
Sea Blue: "...No."
Ink Orchid: "Then do you just grow slower on your own? What are we going to do about that?"
Sea Blue: "Dragon Cypress and Azure both said it’s okay, just being short doesn’t affect comprehending the Divine Marks."
Ink Orchid looked towards the wall top.
Dragon Cypress: "New Assistant King? Rainbow Apricot?"
"Greetings, Great King~!"
Rainbow Apricot waved its antenna to greet, walked to the edge of the Cloud Mist Giant Mantis’s head, peeked down, found it a bit high, didn’t dare jump, turned around and ran back, slid down along the Giant Mantis’s middle leg to the ground. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Rainbow Apricot!"
Ink Orchid was displeased, scolded: "Come back!"
"Oh——"
Rainbow Apricot turned around and climbed back.
"Rainbow Apricot, come here."
Dragon Cypress called.
"Okay~ Great King~"
Rainbow Apricot turned around again.
"Rainbow Apricot——"
Ink Orchid prolonged the tone, full of threat.
"..."
Rainbow Apricot froze in place, bewildered, caught in a dilemma.
Dragon Cypress watched, a pang in his heart:
—Darn it!
—This Little Assistant King has been dumbed down by Ink Orchid~
Dragon Cypress cast an unfriendly glance at Purple and Green Heart, asked: "Have you confirmed? When are you leaving?"
Purple: "..."
Green Heart: "The next next Expedition Year, 93 years later."
"Leave sooner!"
Dragon Cypress, annoyed, flapped his wings, glided and landed under the Sea Blue Tree, waved his antenna, signaling.
"Great King~"
Rainbow Apricot ran up.
A High-Level 1 Age Period Assistant King, with a length of 1.3 meters, had thick Primordial Energy within, with a slight obscure ’Zhen’ Primordial Energy Breath.
This was an Assistant King born from the evolution of Specialized Blue Soldiers, cultivated after acquiring the Zhen Beast Ability.
Theoretically, its future potential was above both Rainbow Parasol Tree and Rainbow Tea.
Dragon Cypress asked: "Rainbow Apricot, you went to Zhibai Continent with the Second King?"
Rainbow Apricot: "Yes, Great King."
Dragon Cypress: "What did you go there for?"
Rainbow Apricot: "To see the snow! The endless ice fields of Antarctica in Zhibai Continent, majestic glaciers rising and falling, flying snow as sharp as blades. I saw strange animals living there, their meat is tougher and more delicious!"
Indeed, boring enough~
Dragon Cypress listened and felt a toothache, asked: "What else?"
Rainbow Apricot: "We also visited many Insect Tribe tribes, I met various Insect Clans, various plants, learned different territory management models, and tasted a variety of delicious foods."
That’s good~
Not too dumb from the looks of the conversation~
Dragon Cypress was slightly relieved, looked up, stared at Ink Orchid, and asked seriously: "Second King, it’s fine if you go out to play, but why take Rainbow Apricot out?"
"Play?"
Ink Orchid snorted, said: "I took him to travel the continent, to broaden his knowledge. So he doesn’t grow up to be dumb like Silver Cypress and Rainbow Parasol Tree, rustic and dumbfounded."
Silver Cypress: "..."
Rainbow Parasol Tree: "..."
Silver Cypress: "Second King is right! Second King, you should take me and Rainbow Parasol Tree out to broaden our horizons too..."
Upon them came Dragon Cypress’s raised claw, a gust of wind nearly flipped the ant.
Dragon Cypress said earnestly: "Ink Orchid, you also need to calm down and practice your abilities well."
Ink Orchid didn’t say much, unfolded his wings, gently stirred his Primordial Energy, and his entire body shined with densely packed, multicolored Divine Marks.
Roughly counting, besides the two core abilities, Great Ink Orchid and Ink Orchid forms, there were as many as 53 Ability Divine Marks.
Ink Orchid: "???"
Dragon Cypress: "..."
"Ant, you’re out of date." Ink Orchid mimicked Dragon Cypress’s tone, said earnestly:
"The insight and cognition of an insect are very limited. Given the number of abilities I’m currently mastering, with my own horizon and knowledge, my Divine Mark Ability has reached its peak."
"To go further, the best way is to find other insects to exchange ideas and learn from each other."
"Ant, let me quiz you, in this world, what ability is most worth learning?"
Dragon Cypress was momentarily silent, asked back: "What ability is most worth learning?"
"Stupid!"
Ink Orchid, proud, folded his wings, waved his antenna, and said: "Green Heart, you teach him."
Green Heart: "That would certainly be the talent abilities of different tribes, especially those granted by the Natural True God."
Purple helped explain: "The abilities bestowed by the Natural True God to different Insect Clans are either very basic but particularly important, or extremely powerful. Mantis King Ink Orchid specifically learns and mimics the particularly powerful ones."
"Haha. Ant. You didn’t think of it like this, did you?" Ink Orchid was proud again, then sighed, and said:
