After staring at the three saplings for two hours, Yang Kai discovered that these three little things had really grown. Although they were less than an inch tall, it was still quite astonishing.
Was it because of the Eternal Tree? Previously, the Eternal Tree had been fused with him, allowing him to rise from the dead, but after condensing the Five Elements' Wood Force, all of its essence had been condensed into the Dao Seal. As such, although the ability to revive the dead had been lost, the Dao Seal now had the highest level of Wood Element force, which would be of great help to his future cultivation.
Now that he had activated the Wood Attribute power in his Dao Seal, it was equivalent to activating the power of the Eternal Tree, so it was reasonable for the seedling to grow within two hours.
This was quite incredible. According to Old Fang, it would take at least two or three hundred years for the Fire Spirit Fruit Tree to grow from a single seedling. Only after it matured would it bear fruit.
These three saplings had been planted less than ten years ago, and each year, they had only grown a little bit. If they suddenly grew more than an inch, if anyone were to discover them, he would be set on fire.
However, since they had grown so much, Yang Kai couldn’t push them down any further. He secretly made up his mind that the next time he did this, he would pay attention to these three saplings and not let them be affected by his Wood Element.
Moreover, if he hadn’t observed it day and night, no one would have noticed that it was an inch high.
This was his territory after all, no one else would pay any attention to this, so for the time being, he wouldn’t be in any danger.
In fact, if possible, Yang Kai wanted to release the two little wood spirits, Mu Zhu and Mu Lu, so that they could take care of this fruit garden. The Wood Spirit Race was the best at this kind of thing. With them taking care of it for him, he could completely leave everything else to them.
However, it was always inconvenient. Not to mention the fact that the fruit garden were spread out in all directions and there were people flying about from time to time, Zhou Zheng would also occasionally come to patrol the area, as well as the Chief Manager he had never met before. If someone were to see the two little wood spirit, with his current ability, he would not be able to protect them.
Therefore, Yang Kai only wanted to see if he could find a way to transplant some Fire Spirit Fruit trees into his own medicine garden so that the two Wood Spirits could display their strength.
Squatting in front of the three saplings, Yang Kai carefully observed them for a moment to make sure that this one inch height wouldn’t attract anyone’s attention before relaxing slightly.
Before he could get up, he heard the sound of flapping wings and a familiar aura approaching him. Turning his head, Yang Kai almost laughed out loud.
In the sky less than three hundred meters from the ground, a golden chicken was struggling to flap its wings as it flew forward unsteadily. It was unknown whether it was because it was not good at flying or because its body was too fat, but Great General Si Chen’s figure was fluctuating up and down as if he could fall at any moment.
However, at this moment, Great General Si Chen’s body wasn’t as big as before, and he looked even smaller than a normal rooster. It seemed he had used some kind of secret technique to shrink his body.
After all, it wasn’t a real chicken, and since it was the pet of the Protector Venerable, it more or less had some kind of ability. Moreover, according to Yang Kai’s observations, this fellow should have some kind of mutated bloodline, just that it looked like a rooster. It didn’t have much to do with chickens, so it wasn’t surprising that it knew some kind of Secret Technique.
However, this was the first time Yang Kai had seen it fly so freely.
The others in the fruit garden also noticed it, and in an instant, streams of light rose from the ground and flew towards it. In the blink of an eye, Great General Si Chen was surrounded.
All of them nodded and bowed towards it, some even offering up Jade Fire Silkworms, but the Great General simply ignored them and flew forward.
Enraged by the encirclement, General Si Chen let out a loud cry and flapped his wings vigorously, seemingly trying to chase them away.
Yang Kai stood there with his arms crossed, watching the show with a smile.
As he laughed, something happened. For some unknown reason, General Si Chen, who was flying forward, suddenly stopped and fell to the ground, unable to stabilize himself no matter how hard he tried.
A series of exclamations rang out and everyone’s faces changed.
Yang Kai’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his smile suddenly stiffening. This stupid chicken had fallen into his territory.
In the blink of an eye, with a loud bang, General Si Chen fell ten meters in front of Yang Kai and plunged into the ground, his fat butt sticking out and his two wings twitching slightly.
Yang Kai was dumbstruck.
Everything had happened too quickly and too suddenly. He had actually forgotten to cast a spell to stop it and could only watch as General Si Chen fell to the ground!
Looking up at the sky, a group of people were also staring at him. In the next moment, as if they had come to an agreement, all of them dispersed and transformed into streaks of light, returning to their respective territories and hiding in the garden. The originally bustling sky suddenly became quiet.
Yang Kai cursed and turned around, wanting to leave, but this was his territory after all. Even if others could leave, where would he go?
This was bad. Although he hadn’t done anything to General Si Chen, if something were to really happen to it in his territory, Yang Kai could guarantee that he would never be able to see the sun tomorrow. It could even be said that he wasn’t the only one who was unable to escape, the people who had surrounded it before would be the same.
Standing in place with a gloomy face, Yang Kai stared at the twitching wings of the stupid chicken, his face twitching.
No matter what, it was still a mutated bloodline, and its strength should not be weak, so it shouldn’t be so easy for it to die, right? After consoling himself, Yang Kai walked up, squatted down in front of the Great General, and poked it with his finger.
The Great General’s wings trembled even more violently, causing Yang Kai to jump in fright. He quickly grabbed it and pulled it out from the ground.
As soon as he escaped, the Great General flapped his wings, stretched out his neck, and pecked at Yang Kai with his beak.
Yang Kai instinctively struck out with his palm.
With a mournful cry, the Great General was sent flying, several of his golden feathers falling off.
“Are you crazy? I wasn’t the one who make you fall, why are you pecking at me?” Yang Kai said angrily.
General Si Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief, as if he hadn’t expected that someone would dare to attack him in this Fire Spiritual Land. Looking at the few feathers that had fallen from the sky, the Great General was instantly enraged and leapt three feet into the air, his fat body transforming into a golden light as he shot towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai was still feeling a bit guilty, just now he had only hit it out of instinct, but now seeing that it was unwilling to let him go, he was filled with anger and immediately rushed forward to meet it. His two palms flew up and his strength surged, causing General Si Chen to cry out in pain.
Not far away, Old Fang heard the commotion and didn’t know what was happening, so he quickly ran over to investigate. After seeing what was happening, his face paled and he shrank back, no longer daring to approach.
Inside the fruit garden, two figures, one big and one small, were flying back and forth, golden feathers flying everywhere.
It had to be said that although General Si Chen looked a bit stupid, his strength was indeed not bad. In the Star Boundary, he was already a Pseudo Emperor, and Yang Kai could also feel that he had not used his full strength.
The Protector Venerable's pet would only using his peck attack, from beginning to end it hadn’t used any kind of Secret Technique.
Since it didn’t use any kind of Secret Technique, Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t use it either, only relying on his two palms to block the attack.
After fighting for a full two hours, the Great General was probably exhausted and the golden fur on his body had dimmed significantly. He opened his arms and glared fiercely at Yang Kai, not daring to step forward again.
Yang Kai glanced at it from the corner of his eye and proudly declared, “This King has dominated the world for many years, yet a mere chicken dares to challenge this King? It’s simply overestimating itself!”
General Si Chen was obviously furious and jumped several times.
Yang Kai could feel its unwillingness and humiliation and couldn’t help laughing out loud, “If you know what’s good for you, hurry up and scram. If you dare to come here again, don’t blame this King for being impolite to you.”
General Si Chen stared at him for a moment before suddenly turning around and rushing to the side.
Yang Kai frowned, “What are you doing?” In the next moment, his expression changed dramatically, “You dare!”
With a flash of his body, he appeared in front of it and sent out a palm strike. However, General Si Chen was already prepared for this and leapt backwards onto a fruit tree, stretching out his head and pecking at a bright red Fire Spirit Fruit.
Yang Kai flew into a rage. This guy couldn’t beat him, yet he had come up with such a method to deal with him. He was simply too vicious.
Each of the fruits here was limited, and if they were really damaged by it, he would not be able to explain himself to Zhou Zheng. At that time, the one who would be punished would not be this stupid chicken, but himself.
Reaching out, the giant hand ignored the barrier of space and grabbed General Si Chen’s neck. By the time he pulled it back, it was already in his hand.
Yang Kai glared at it fiercely, “Do you want to die?”
General Si Chen stared back at him fearlessly, his eyes constantly darting between Yang Kai and the fruit tree, his meaning clear. 'If you don’t kill me, I’ll destroy your fruit tree.'
Yang Kai was speechless…
Although he had fought with this stupid chicken before, in the end, he really didn’t dare do anything to it. After all, it was the pet of the Protector Venerable, so if he killed it, he wouldn’t have any good consequences.
However, capturing it like this wasn’t a good idea, so after a moment of silence, he said, “I won’t argue with you about today’s matter. Your fall was not my fault, it was just your own carelessness. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame those who tried to stop you. If I let you go now, you should quickly leave and we’ll pretend nothing happened just now. If you understand, blink.”
General Si Chen blinked…
Yang Kai nodded, “Don’t play any tricks!”
Gently releasing his grip, General Si Chen freed himself and flew towards the fruit tree.
Yang Kai grabbed it and smiled angrily, “It seems you really don’t know how to write the word death!”
