CHAPTER 223: CHAPTER 198: A NEST OF GREEN SILK WORMS

"No rush, let’s wait."

Lin Ke waved his hand, "Beside this kind of magic plant, there is usually a magical beast guarding it."

Although now there’s a Phoenix suppressing it, and all the magical beasts here are submissive to him, they can’t really hurt him.

But he wanted to see, after all, what kind of special magical beast could guard the Bright Tulip from being stolen.

The Bright Tulip, a magic plant filled with light elements, can be used to make "Suspended Light Potion," "Piercing Potion," and various other magic potions with differing effects.

This Bright Tulip is already at level ten, a very precious plant. If its living environment can be observed and a method of reproduction found, it could be cultivated continuously.

He remembered that in his past life, he had a friend who was a Ph.D. in botany, specializing in flower reproduction.

For plants like the tulip, after wilting, they leave behind a "bulb" underground, which can be dug up and then planted into the soil in the autumn season.

However, it seemed that no one in Naseng knew this; they would eat the tulip before the bulb matured.

At least Ove advised him to simply pick and leave with some good magic potions when encountered.

But now, Lin Ke was not thinking about consuming a magic plant but about turning this magic plant into more magic plants and industrializing it.

"Young master, look over there." At this moment, Lamiel seemed to have discovered something.

Lin Ke and the others followed the direction Lamiel was pointing, seeing a patch of dark green.

"What is it?" Lolita asked, puzzled, trying hard to open her eyes wider but still seeing nothing.

"Look there, there’s a small green caterpillar." Lin Ke patted Lolita.

Not far from the Bright Tulip, on a large tree, there was a crystal-clear, chubby caterpillar lazily munching on leaves on the back of a leaf.

Originally, Lin Ke didn’t see it, but then the "lucky" bloodline in his mind buzzed, and he saw it.

"What’s that?" John asked curiously, sensing no fluctuations whatsoever, "Seems like just an ordinary little green caterpillar."

"This caterpillar is poisonous!" Knicks suddenly shouted, leaping up and hugging Lolita next to him, his furry little hand unconsciously and involuntarily landed somewhere.

The scene suddenly quieted down.

Lin Ke: (ㅍ_ㅍ)

John: (ㅍ_ㅍ)

Lamiel: (ㅍ_ㅍ)

Lolita: (ㅍ_ㅍ)!

Lin Ke looked at Knicks.

Was this the same shy and bashful Knicks of before? How did shy turn into bold, bashful into cheeky, and meek into lecherous?

He remembered, two years ago, it was always Lolita teasing the shy Knicks. How had it turned around now, with him making the first move?

You’re just over two years old, Knicks!

Scoundrel.

Speaking of which, spring had arrived, all things were reviving, and the maturation period for rabbits was very short, as it was for Rabbitmen.

It was said that in All Heavens Star Realm, the reproductive capacity of Rabbitmen was second only to Mushroom People and Ratmen.

"Ahem, no, no, I was wrong. Sorry, sorry." Knicks immediately got off Lolita, coughed dryly twice, said shyly, "I was wrong, this should be non-toxic."

Even if it was toxic, aren’t you both a [Doctor] and [Poison Master]? What are you afraid of?

Lin Ke couldn’t be bothered to expose this spring-fever-driven rabbit.

"This is a Chin Silk Caterpillar. I hadn’t expected to see it here... hmm, it has a power of level twelve, possibly the guardian magical beast of the Bright Tulip." Lamiel introduced, then glanced at Knicks, "Characteristic: non-toxic."

Generally, only those in relatively close professions can sense each other’s strengths, unless the person unleashes their aura proactively.

When the Chin Silk Caterpillar wasn’t unleashing its aura, even Lin Ke and the others didn’t know there was such a thing there.

"Non-toxic?" Knicks nodded shly, "Yes." Looking not shy at all.

Wow, the skin’s grown thicker too, who did you learn that from!

Lin Ke was speechless, then walked straight over.

He had done experiments, no matter how he interfered with the actions of magical beasts, they wouldn’t resist, for instance, separating two mating wild chickens, or touching a sleeping tiger.

All magical beasts wouldn’t resist him, they submit to him!

Can’t deny, the Insomnia Emperor gave him a great gift, which was just a verbal gesture from the Insomnia Emperor.

One benefit of having great strength.

"Chin Silk Caterpillar, I need this tulip." Lin Ke walked over directly, speaking softly to the Chin Silk Caterpillar.

Sure enough, the Chin Silk Caterpillar lazily spat out a silk thread, piercing through the tree trunk above, and swung down onto Lin Ke’s shoulder, kindly rubbing Lin Ke’s earlobe.

"Mr. Lin Ke, the Chin Silk Caterpillar helps greatly with the development of bird bloodlines, and the silk it produces is also very useful. The Count Qing Si in the north became a count relying on the silk made from this Chin Silk Caterpillar."

Lamiel explained again.

Chin Silk Caterpillar!

Lin Ke took the Chin Silk Caterpillar off his shoulder, stroking it.

This Chin Silk Caterpillar was a lot like a green silkworm!

Nice.

Silk, to not produce this would be a disservice to the true bloodline within him!

"Chin Silk Caterpillar, do you know where your kin are? Find them all."

Lin Ke stroked the head of the Chin Silk Caterpillar, feeling that this creature he could squeeze to death was actually a level twelve being.

Six years ago, Garoce was only level twelve.

"Crunch, crunch." The Chin Silk Caterpillar’s sharp teeth moved, then it spat another silk thread in a direction, and swung over like a pendulum, waiting on a leaf, motioning for Lin Ke to follow.

"Phoenix, mark this tulip with your scent! It’s mine!"

Lin Ke shouted up, then called John and the others to quickly follow.

After all, having to find things, it didn’t matter which direction they searched.

Along the way, they found some peculiar flora and fauna, and whether useful or not, Lin Ke recorded them.

In his past life, there were people who raised snakes, crocodiles, bamboo rats, scorpions, even creatures like insects and rodents.

Some were pets, some for medicine, some for consumption, all had their value.

As long as they can be scale-farmed, traded, processed, reproduced, their economic value can be tapped.

That level twelve Chin Silk Caterpillar stopped after swinging a ways, waiting again on a leaf for Lin Ke.

When Lin Ke and the others arrived, they were stunned by the image before them.

Before them was a rather dim forest, tiny light spots shining through the leaves, creating the Tyndall effect.

And through this were streaks of thread, like spider silk entwining the forest, reflecting faint light.

Plus, there were large, distinctly granular tree fruits hanging among them, emitting a faint glow.

This is...

This is that something!
