Chapter 685: Chapter 309: Vein Seed? The Dying Life Ancient Tree!_3

“What’s wrong with the Life Ancient Tree? Forget it, let’s just go and see it for ourselves!” Su Ping could guess some of the reasons.

Last time, the Life Ancient Tree, whose lifelines had been damaged, had had its life forcibly extended by Old Sha. Using the power of the language of nature, Old Sha had forcefully transferred his own life essence into the body of the Life Ancient Tree. Now, more than half a year had passed. Old Sha, with the Heart of the Sun, was fine, but it was clear that for the Life Ancient Tree, such a method was merely drinking poison to quench its thirst! Even if Old Sha continued to pour Life Force into it, it was doubtful it would have the same effect as before. And during this time, Su Ping had not found any particularly good methods to prolong the Life Ancient Tree’s life. The reality turned out to be just as he had expected.

At the Forest Heart, Su Ping had just arrived home and hadn’t even settled in before he hurried over here non-stop. This time, the Life Ancient Tree did not inform the other Plant-based Pet Beasts of Forest Heart. Only Lao Guan, who patrolled the area every few days, noticed something was amiss. However, after Su Ping arrived, he immediately noticed that the Life Ancient Tree’s condition was even more serious than what Uncle Guan had described.

Upon his arrival, Uncle Guan did not enter the Life Ancient Tree’s domain, waiting instead on the mountain path at Forest Heart.

As soon as Su Ping arrived, the face on the tree’s trunk revealed itself. “Little fellow, you’re back!”

Facing the Life Ancient Tree’s inquiry, Su Ping saw its condition at a glance. “Life Ancient Tree Senior, your condition…”

“Hehe, birth, aging, sickness, and death are normal among you humans. Aren’t they just as normal for me? Being able to see those little ones enjoying life so well under your care before I die leaves me without regrets,” the old visage on the Life Ancient Tree’s trunk said slowly with a smile. “So, this time, I didn’t show this decline in vitality to those little ones. Now that their habitats have stabilized, moving their roots rashly would affect their future development… I’m sorry, but you’ll have to be the one to inform the little ones when the time comes…”

The Life Ancient Tree had never spoken so much before. Clearly, after Su Ping returned, it was essentially entrusting its ’orphans’ to his care.

However, at that moment, Su Ping lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

“Although I’ve said it many times, I still have to say it one last time, little fellow, thank you for giving those little ones a home. After I’m gone, you can take my Life Tree seeds and branches. They’re still somewhat useful resources. Consider it a token of my gratitude…”

Su Ping raised his head, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then grinned, revealing his teeth. “Life Ancient Tree Senior, I don’t have the habit of using my kinsmen’s corpses for their ’coffin money,’ so to speak. Besides, I never like to deliver bad news. Please, do me a favor and, for my sake, just stay alive.”

Then, Su Ping gestured with his hand, and a bright light appeared. The Life Ancient Tree looked at the appearing Forest Wolf and chuckled, “It’s useless. I know my own condition. Even a Life Force transfer like last time would be powerless to save me now…”

However, before it could finish its words, a shadow from Xiao Qing’s body swayed gently. Then, a drop of emerald liquid shot into the roots of the Life Ancient Tree. The transformation took just an instant! Those roots, which had been decayed and dead, revived with life at an unimaginable speed.

The Life Ancient Tree’s words of entrusting its legacy weren’t even finished when the compassionate face on its trunk froze in place.

Wait, so I’m not dying after all?

Doesn’t that make what I just said about entrusting my affairs incredibly awkward?
