Chapter 1368 - 803: Biological Armament Modification

Looking out, there was a surging, flowing sea of clouds, and towering snow-covered mountains reaching into the sky.

Four-Number and Summer Oak were in the cloud-covered snowy mountains gathering a type of wind system world gemstone called 'Nine-Tone Stone.'

The Semi-Ant Artist had come and gone.

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress, so quickly, you have another discovery?"

"Iron Areca Leader, your efficiency is really high!"

Out of politeness, Four-Number and Summer Oak expressed a token surprise and admiration.

After four continuous months of digging, it wasn't that exhausting, but both Four-Number and Summer Oak were a bit mentally fatigued.

Everyone's attitude towards the world gemstones shifted from initial rarity and solemnity to later excitement and joy, and then to a simple happiness of quickly estimating value and calculating harvests...

As the harvests increased, gradually, everyone became numb, feeling indifferent and being too lazy to bother with the gemstones' worth.

"No."

"Great Leader Dragon Cypress has found something else."

Iron Areca looked towards Dragon Cypress, signaling for him to speak.

Dragon Cypress: "..."

Dragon Cypress: "Head north; it seems like a high mountain snowfield. Very few Origin Force Plants like to take root in such places."

"I used my Soul-Setting Ability to scan and vaguely discovered a tree, with about a dozen Saint Butterfly Warriors nearby, appearing to be trapped. The opponent reacted very quickly, and before I could focus my consciousness to find out the situation, the opponent concealed and disappeared."

"..."

Four-Number and Summer Oak responded slowly, unable to understand Dragon Cypress's meaning.

Dragon Cypress said: "Red Qu Star has an area of 50 billion square kilometers, and this time there are only 407 warriors participating, scattered across such a large planet, each immersed in treasure hunting. Logically, it should be tough for us to gather together, and even if we encountered each other, we'd naturally keep our distance, not interfering with one another..."

Dragon Cypress recounted his and Iron Areca's analysis.

"It's normal for many trees to be unsociable, finding a place to root solo..."

Four-Number asked: "Great Leader Dragon Cypress, what exactly does this tree look like? Did you see clearly?"

Dragon Cypress: "A tall arbor, like an evolved Kuzhuang or Silver Leaf Cone, Metal System, its entire soul glistens silvery, exuding an edge that makes every insect uncomfortable."

"Yinzhuang?"

"Titanium White Range!"

"Titanium Sand!"

Four-Number and Summer Oak exchanged glances.

Dragon Cypress: "???"

Iron Areca: "Is there something to say?"

Summer Oak hesitantly said: "What Great Leader Dragon Cypress detected might be a Divine-Given Seed called 'Yinzhuang.'

"I have some collected information about Red Qu Star, which just happens to include detailed descriptions."

"A wild Divine-Given Seed born from a mutated Kuzhuang tree, named 'Yinzhuang,' Metal System, not particularly outstanding at birth, an excellent Divine-Given Seed, its produced Divine-Given Fruit provides ordinary comprehensive Metal System enhancement, with acceptable quality and yield."

"What's incredible is that during its evolution, the Kuzhuang condensed an extremely unique 'Trace,' independently comprehending and constructing a Star Core Energy Field named 'Titanium White Range,' pioneering its own path of evolution, forming a self-contained Metal Ability system..."

Summer Oak struggled with words, saying "It can autonomously gather metal materials mainly composed of titanium, constructing the 'Titanium White Range' within the energy field, yielding a Third-Level Original Energy Metal Material called 'Titanium Sand.'"

"Non-conventional metal material."

"A metal material with a high affinity to our Insect Clan warriors, some Metal System Talents, once reaching a certain level of enhancement, Evolution Level above the Radiance Realm, can be eaten directly by Insect Clan warriors."

"After consumption and absorption by the body, it significantly enhances the toughness and strength of the carapace, especially the enhancements are strongest for claws, mandible tooth, tumorous protuberance, and hooks. Most notably, it can greatly amplify the power of certain Metal System Abilities, especially the defensive type, multiplying the effect."

Four-Number: "A kind of edible Third-Level Metal Material. The strengthening and gain effects it brings are significant even for experts in the Overlord Realm."

"Our Insect Clan warrior's carapace, tumorous protuberance, hooks, claws, and mandible tooth are also known as 'Biological Armament,' and the method of directly strengthening through Original Energy Material is called 'Biological Armament Modification.'

Summer Oak: "It's akin to a plant creating a special ability similar to Iron Areca Leader's 'Iron Cube,' although at a higher grade. Titanium Sand is a Third-Level Metal Material. Considering its peculiar use, its value is also extremely high."

"Upon formal evaluation, Yinzhuang's 'Titanium White Range' ability can be rated as the highest first level special ability."

"Titanium Sand appears as fine granules, unseen in the market and unobtainable for purchase, with limited production, all used internally by us in the Saint Butterfly Tribe."

"Our Saint Butterfly Warriors have awakened Metal System Talents and racial Metal System Abilities. Titanium Sand can greatly fortify our wing scales."

Summer Oak lightly shook his wings, saying: "All warriors who have awakened Metal System Talents and are adept in Metal System Abilities can use it. If put up for sale, even at 10,000 Primordial Crystals for one, there would be insects willing to buy it."

Dragon Cypress asked: "So, the dozen or so Saint Butterfly Warriors I sensed, what are they..."

Four-Number: "Yinzhuang is a solitary tree without a fixed rooting location. It will roam the world, slowly collecting materials and producing Titanium Sand."

"Under usual circumstances, the produced Titanium Sand is only provided to the few old overlords of the Saint Butterfly Tribe who have good relations with it."

"Moreover, every forty thousand years, warriors entering Red Qu Star in search of treasure can obtain some if they find it and pass the trial."

"The dozen or so Saint Butterfly Warriors you sensed, Great Leader Dragon Cypress, are likely participating in the trial."

Iron Areca Leader listened eagerly and asked: "What trial?"
