Chapter 226: Chapter 108: Super Evolution! Thunderstruck Ghost Mosquito! Skill Advancement

This discovery.

Made Lin Yi’s heart pound uncontrollably.

A thought that left him utterly shocked and ecstatic struck his mind like a lightning bolt:

’Could it be... could it be that...’

’The mother tree that bears this Miracle Fruit... is itself the real treasure? Something a hundred times more precious than the Thunder Essence Fruit... a peerless treasure?!’

An immense wave of joy instantly washed over Lin Yi!

Those four ferocious Demon Kings, with their overwhelming auras, had fought to the death for the Thunder Essence Fruit, shaking the very heavens and earth.

Who could have imagined that they had missed the true prize?

If not for his Mosquito Avatar’s Tracking ability, which could sense energy fluctuations,

he, too, would have probably overlooked it, just like those Demon Kings.

And let this earth-shattering opportunity slip right by!

At this thought,

how could Lin Yi possibly hesitate?

With a single thought,

the Mosquito Avatar immediately beat its wings silently, transforming into a barely visible phantom and shooting toward the Thunder Essence Fruit Tree on the cliff!

Its speed was pushed to the absolute limit.

Almost at the same moment the thought arose,

the Mosquito Avatar was already hovering steadily before the mystical fruit tree.

Observing it up close,

he could feel its extraordinary nature even more keenly.

This Spirit Medicine Tree was only about two meters high, appearing unremarkable in the valley filled with towering ancient trees.

But its trunk was abnormally thick and gnarled, with a diameter of a full half-meter!

The bark was a deep bronze color, naturally branded with profound and complex silver patterns, with faint glimmers of electricity flowing within them.

Palm-sized leaves densely covered the branches.

Even in this biting winter where all life withered, the leaves remained plump and glistening, as green as the finest jade, suffused with a rich life essence and an aura of Thunder.

The Mosquito Avatar landed gently on the iron-hard trunk.

Its slender, jointed legs bent slightly, adhering firmly.

A thought couldn’t help but surface in Lin Yi’s mind:

’This Thunder Essence Fruit Tree contains such surging and pure energy, it’s like a living treasury of energy! I wonder... can the Mosquito Avatar directly absorb and refine the vast energy contained in this tree, just as it absorbs the blood essence of Demon Beasts?’

Once the thought arose, he could no longer hold back!

Lin Yi had always been a man of action. In a flash, he took control of the Mosquito Avatar, aimed its sharp proboscis—which glinted with a cold, metallic luster—at the trunk of the Thunder Essence Fruit Tree, and stabbed down hard!

CLANG!!!

A deafening, ear-piercing sound of clashing metal suddenly rang out!

Sparks flew everywhere, like the moment a hammer strikes with full force in a blacksmith’s shop!

A huge recoil force traveled up the proboscis,

shaking the Mosquito Avatar until it trembled!

’Hiss... This trunk is so hard!’

Lin Yi sucked in a cold breath, utterly astonished.

How was this the wood of a Spirit Medicine Tree?

It was several times harder than refined mystic iron that had been tempered a thousand times!

After all, the Mosquito Avatar’s proboscis was now sharp enough to easily pierce a steel plate several inches thick!

Yet, stabbing the trunk hadn’t even left a white mark, as if it had struck a mountain forged from divine iron!

This was just a non-sentient Spirit Medicine Tree.

It hadn’t even evolved into a Demon Beast, so why was it so unbelievably hard?

’This is bad!’

A sense of anxiety instantly flooded Lin Yi’s mind.

If the proboscis couldn’t pierce it, he couldn’t absorb the vast, ocean-like life energy and Thunder Essence inside the trunk.

’Am I just going to have to watch as this heaven-defying opportunity, so close at hand, slips away?’

’Is the only option to uproot this entire Divine Tree, find a way to take it away, and replant it elsewhere?’

’But the Spiritual Qi on Blue Star is pitifully thin right now, completely insufficient to sustain an ancient spiritual root of this caliber, at Seventh Grade or higher!’

’Forcibly transplanting it is no different from killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!’

Besides, Lin Yi wasn’t the Monkey King; he didn’t know those long-lost ancient Secret Techniques for cultivating Spirit Medicine.

Even if he moved heaven and earth to get the tree back, there would only be one outcome—

this Spirit Medicine Tree would wither and decay at an astonishing speed. Forget bearing fruit again, it would be a question if it could even survive for three days!

’No! I absolutely can’t give up!’

A glint of ruthlessness and determination flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes.

Instantly,

he had the Mosquito Avatar lift off from the trunk,

circling the Thunder Essence Fruit Tree at high speed.

Its six compound eyes were like the most precise scanners, not missing a single detail!

’The trunk is indestructible, but are the branches and leaves the same?’

The Mosquito Avatar’s gaze swept over every branch and every leaf like a searchlight.

Finally!

Its gaze locked onto a new, tender shoot!

This branch had clearly grown recently. Its color was a more vibrant green than the other branches, and its texture was also relatively slender and soft.

’That’s the one! It’s all or nothing now!’

Lin Yi roared in his mind.

Like an arrow loosed from a bow, the Mosquito Avatar shot forth, landing precisely on the target shoot.

Its sharp proboscis gathered power once more,

aimed at the shoot’s skin, and stabbed fiercely!

CHKT!

This time,

although he could still feel a powerful resistance,

as if piercing incredibly tough old cowhide,

the tip of the proboscis finally struggled through the tough defense and successfully pierced into the tender shoot!

’Success!’

An immense wave of ecstasy swept over him instantly!

Without the slightest hesitation,

Lin Yi decisively activated the ability.

[Blood Sucking]! Activate!

HUMMM!

An incomparably powerful and terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from within the Mosquito Avatar!

RUMBLE!

The next moment,

an unimaginably potent energy, like a bursting flood, poured from within the Thunder Essence Fruit Tree, surging madly through the slender proboscis and into the Mosquito Avatar’s body!
