"Haha!" Yue Yang laughed mischievously in his heart. He had only used the example of swallowing a live rat, but he did not reveal the thorny flower's true secret.
When the thorny flower swallowed a different type of creature, it would not evolve at all.
However, it could recover a large amount of energy. Especially after a long period of swallowing, it could store a large amount of energy and form a fruit-like 'Thorny Flower Fruit Bottle', hanging on the thorny flower, replenishing the thorny flower's energy consumption at any time. If the thorny flower wanted to evolve after swallowing a creature, it had to be a creature of the same type, the higher the level the better.
In the process of swallowing a creature of the same type, there was a taboo that no one knew about.
If it swallowed a large amount of creatures of the same type from the start, then the thorny flower would not 'evolve' and would only level up.
On the contrary, if the thorny flower swallowed a human corpse instead of a creature of the same type, then the thorny flower would not level up and would only evolve and 'evolve'.
Most of the creatures in the Soaring Dragon Continent were normal-ranked. Only a small number of creatures would mutate due to various conditions.
Mutated creatures were much stronger than normal creatures.
This kind of mutated creature could easily evolve into an elite-ranked creature. When it evolved into an elite-ranked creature, its strength would increase by a terrifying amount. Just like summoning grimoires, elite-ranked creatures were divided into five ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Every time an Elite-ranked creature advanced a rank, its strength would increase by more than ten times. Forget about Platinum-ranked or Diamond-ranked beasts, even owning a Bronze-ranked beast was something that ordinary people could only dream of.
"Forget about eating corpses. My Guardian Beast is not a thorny flower, it's a Treeman Warrior. I usually use the thorny flower to practice my plant-type control techniques, not to use it for battle." Black Clothed Yue Bing hurriedly waved her hands to reject. She couldn't bear to swallow a rat, she couldn't even think about it.
"What a pity." Yue Yang laughed secretly in his heart. He knew that this little girl had no interest in eating corpses.
"San-ge, tell me more about the [Spore] skill." Black Clothed Yue Bing was definitely a smart and studious girl. She didn't have any bad intentions like Yue Yang.
"This is a special skill that only appears when the Thorny Flower evolves to Level 4 [Thorny Flower Overlord]. When the Spitting Thorny Flower evolved into a Level 2 Carnivorous Thorny Flower or a Level 3 Giant Thorny Flower, none of them had the ability to release spores. Only when it reached Level 4 would it become a Thorny Overlord Flower. It could release its spores as a parasite, turning its dead host into a Spitting Thorny Flower. If the target is a living person, then the spores will directly burrow into the living person's internal organs and suck their blood before breaking out of the body and evolving into a Carnivorous Thorny Flower. "Hearing Yue Yang's words, Yue Bing couldn't take it anymore.
As long as she thought about it, a spore would float over, burrow into a person's mouth, and then quickly devour the internal organs before bursting out of the body.
An ugly, flesh-eating thorny flower quickly grew out of the man's body, and he died on the spot …
That, that was too scary!
Although the black-clothed Yue Bing was a genius girl, her mind was only that of a fifteen-year-old girl. Her pure heart was very resistant to such bloody things!
Of course, this was because Yue Yang had purposely made it so bloody.
The real use of the spores was not to kill a living person. Who would be so stupid as to let the spores parasitize their own body? The spores' main use was to destroy the corpses of beasts. Some special beasts could turn into zombies after death, and they could also revive under certain conditions. For example, water-type beasts or fire-type beasts could be revived under the summoning of their master's special skill if they were bathed in water or raging flames that were filled with energy.
When the Thorny Flower's master couldn't take care of these things in battle.
The Thorny Flower's spores could be used in a big way.
It could parasitize the corpses of animals and turn them into Spitting Thorny Flowers, destroying the opponent's beast's revival. This would imperceptibly weaken the opponent's battle strength.
As for parasitizing a living person, that was actually a very difficult thing to do.
Furthermore, rather than parasitizing with its spores, it would be better to let the Thorny Flower Overlord swallow that unlucky fellow. That way, it might be able to evolve again!
"Thank you, Third Brother. The Thorny Flower is a very weak plant-type beast. Plant-type beasts are originally weak, and the Thorny Flower is the weakest kind. It would be very difficult to train a Level 4 Thorny Flower Overlord, so it's best not to have this kind of idea. You should mainly train your Guardian Beast, because that is the most suitable for your growth … What? You can't summon your own Guardian Beast? Ah … Maybe you are the same as me, the most unorthodox kind of summoner. What a pity! If Third Brother had the Inherent Skill of summoning other beasts, then your future would be limitless. What a pity! " When the black-clothed Yue Bing heard Yue Yang say that he couldn't summon his Guardian Beast, she immediately felt sad for him.
She immediately comforted him, saying that a Guardian Beast would definitely be the most suitable for its master to grow.
The reason why he couldn't summon it now was probably because his spiritual energy and level were not high enough.
If he could level it up in the future, then it would definitely not be a problem.
In the end, Yue Bing consoled him, saying that the requirements for element-type summoning were very high. She had also heard that some element-type students couldn't summon their own Guardian Beast in the beginning. She wanted to let Yue Yang throw away the burden in his heart, but who would have known that his summoned Guardian Beast was not an element-type fog, but a special-type Phantom Shadow.
Furthermore, with the spiritual energy in Yue Yang's body, it wasn't like he couldn't summon a Phantom Shadow!
He could summon it two days ago, but he didn't say it out loud.
"It's a pity that Third Brother's Inherent Skill is as unorthodox as mine. Both of us have no future in the plant-type, and it's even a Thorny Flower …" Yue Bing shook her head and sighed. In her mind, the Thorny Flower was the weakest beast. It was a beast used as a 'teaching tool' in the academy, and was destined to not have much development.
"It's okay, as long as you work hard, no matter what kind of beast, even if it's a Thorny Flower, after reaching Level 10, it will also become very strong."
Seeing that the little girl was feeling sad for him, Yue Yang couldn't help but comfort her instead.
Actually, according to the knowledge transmitted to him by the Bronze Grimoire, he understood a very important point. That was, although plant-type beasts looked weak on the surface, they were actually not weak at all. They were not inferior to the most sought after beast-type and bird-type beasts. Although the Thorny Flower seemed to be the weakest among the plant-type beasts, it was actually the opposite. It had a huge growth potential that other plant-type beasts didn't have.
If one were to choose an Emperor among all the plant-type beasts, it would be the Thorny Flower that everyone looked down upon.
Three thousand years ago, there was a Ranker known as the 'Thorny Flower Fairy' who evolved a Thorny Flower to its peak, turning it into a human-like 'Golden Crown Thorny Flower Queen'. During the battle against the Demon Abyss' invasion of the Soaring Dragon Continent, this Thorny Flower Fairy and her Thorny Flower Queen joined hands and killed three Blood Prison Demon Kings. Furthermore, they devoured more than five thousand demons from the Demon Legion. The endless sea of flowers that she created became the nightmare of all the creatures in the Demon Abyss. Even the Hell Black Dragon King, who was known to be invincible on the battlefield, quickly retreated when he saw her, avoiding battle.
This Thorny Flower Fairy was the only Ranker among the humans who could single-handedly resist and slaughter an entire army of the Demon Abyss' invasion.
Regrettably, her lover died in battle, and the Thorny Flower Fairy committed suicide in her loneliness.
In the future, no one knew the true secret of the Thorny Flower.
Countless Rankers had tried, but no one was able to make the Thorny Flower evolve into a Mythical Beast in human form. In the end, people had no choice but to give up on researching the Thorny Flower. Beast-type and bird-type beasts, these two types of beasts that had a huge advantage in the beginning, quickly rose to power and were welcomed by people. Three thousand years later, the plant-type Thorny Flower had long been forgotten by people as the most terrifying 'Mythical Beast in human form'. It had become the weakest beast, and had even become a teaching tool in the academy.
"That's right, a warrior should always strive to become stronger and persevere. Third Brother, thank you!" Yue Bing nodded and bowed slightly towards Yue Yang like a polite primary school student. "Third Brother, I'll go back first today. I'll come back to practice tomorrow!"
Looking at the little girl's back, Yue Yang muttered to himself, "Since the world doesn't care about the Thorny Flower, then I'll cultivate a Golden Crown Thorny Flower Queen!"
