CHAPTER 546: CHAPTER 481: STONE-THROWING ANCIENT TREE! TAKE THEM ALL AWAY!

"By the way, among your friends, is there... hmm, just like you, more ’upright’ and ’unwavering’ Magical Beasts?"

In the combat command room, Lin Ke stroked the body of Storm Rat Fiers, feeling its fur.

"Hmm?" Fiers turned over, allowing everyone to better stroke its back, then couldn’t help but let out a comfortable hum: "Mmm~ I don’t have many friends, but my master’s reputation in the circle is quite big... Everyone envies the Lava Lion and Green Water Python!"

The groups of Magical Beasts like the Lava Lion and Green Water Python have been making a fortune these years by selling mounts.

There is communication among Magical Beasts, especially at the level of King of Magical Beasts.

There is frequent interaction between the Kings of Magical Beasts in many regions.

There’s no other way; most intelligent life cities rarely allow Magical Beasts to survive.

Unlike Great Wilderness City, where you can live freely as long as you can abide by the city’s laws.

So, when the Phoenix, Green Water Python, and other Kings of Magical Beasts interact with each other, it’s quite a sight.

"By the way, do you have any special skills?" Lin Ke asked while stroking Fiers’ fur: "What is your legendary skill?"

"Special skills? Legendary skills?" Fiers thought for a moment and said: "If you say special... our Storm Rat tribe’s special skill should be this?"

As it spoke, wisps of airflow emerged from Fiers’ body, blowing onto Lin Ke.

The breeze was cool and carried a faint scent of fresh grass.

Whoa, is this... air conditioning? Lin Ke was a bit taken aback.

"There’s also warm air." Fiers shook its body, and Lin Ke immediately felt a warmth flowing through.

Is it really air conditioning?!

This is some Storm Rat; it’s an air-conditioning rat, isn’t it?!

Lin Ke suddenly saw many business opportunities.

It truly is a business opportunity!

So Lin Ke asked, "Does your race, hmm, including ordinary Magical Beasts, all have this function... no, skill?"

"That’s right." Storm Rat Fiers said proudly, "Our Storm Rat tribe is naturally able to manipulate both cold and warm winds, and if we become level ten Magical Beasts, we can even stir up storms..."

"No, stirring up storms isn’t important... What’s important is, can this cold and heat be adjusted? For example, the temperature and humidity of an entire room." Lin Ke emphasized.

Stir up storms?

With the Storm Rat tribe’s natural abilities, it’s a bit wasteful to use them in warfare.

It’d be better to be pets honestly, especially with that built-in air conditioning feature, how refreshing!

Feeling the gentle airflow blowing past, Lin Ke couldn’t help but close his eyes to enjoy it.

This airflow was more comfortable than air conditioning; it was natural cool and warm winds, not like air conditioning which felt unpleasant.

Everyone was enjoying the Storm Rat’s air conditioning and fur as the fleet moved forward in an orderly fashion.

In this manner, ten days passed.

...

During these ten days, Lin Ke and his group traveled through the outskirts of the Elemental Forest, and crossed most of the Far West Region, getting closer and closer to where the Forest Hut was located.

Along the way, they also passed through several small kingdoms and powers, where legends or deities existed.

Although these powers weren’t renowned across the entire Naseng Continent, they were still considerable regional hegemons,

Lin Ke did not show any force and sent people to express their intentions as they passed by.

The leaders of these small powers naturally understood the influence of Great Wilderness City on the entire Naseng.

No need to discuss being strong or not, because no matter how strong, you can’t just attack for no reason, the common agreements in Naseng still hold some effect.

The key issue isn’t strength, but the wealth of the Great Wilderness!

And the wealth of Great Wilderness City doesn’t come from mining or plundering planes.

Their wealth comes from using brains!

Who doesn’t know about the wisdom of the Duke of Lava?

Building a good relationship with such a person isn’t just about doing "small business" later, there’s always a way when it comes to large transactions, right?

Whether it’s buying or selling needs, it’s all possible in the large markets of the Great Wilderness Plane.

Thus, when Lin Ke passed by those small countries or powers, not only were they not stopped, but rather each of them wanted to meet Lin Ke to discuss some "small business".

Lin Ke did not refuse, welcoming all.

And expressed that in the future, everyone’s welcome to join the upcoming market trading center to collectively build a harmonious and beautiful Naseng Continent trading market.

Moreover, Lin Ke even mentioned that in the future, not only "small business" can be discussed but also some "big businesses".

That is the "Path of the Great Wilderness"!

Connecting the customs of the Great Wilderness Plane to the Forest Hut, forming two economic belts, "Great Wilderness—Gula—Far West" and "Great Wilderness—Ocean of Stars and Waves—Far West", as well as an economic road from Great Wilderness—Gula—Far West.

Lin Ke even thought of the names, which are Two Belts and One Road.

On these two belts and one road, countless demands need to be met, and countless goods await sale.

At that time, it’s likely to give rise to various new industries, which in turn can support a large number of professionals, and when these professionals upgrade after receiving enough feedback, it generates new demands, attracting more investment...

Once such a virtuous cycle takes off, the powers along the way are guaranteed to profit immensely.

Thus, when Lin Ke painted this grand vision, the leaders of these small powers became extremely excited, feeling they had struck gold.

There were even a few legends who couldn’t sit still, wanting to follow along to express their gratitude and contribute a little to the campaign against the Forest Hut.

Lin Ke courteously declined.

Following is okay, but joining is not.

After all, Lin Ke was also wary of spies infiltrating and causing havoc.

With this, Lin Ke and his group finally got within a hundred kilometers of the Forest Hut.

And at this moment, something from the Forest Hut appeared before the fleet.

...

Combat Command Room.

"Stone-Throwing Ancient Tree?" Lin Ke squinted while standing in front of the glass, looking at the towering banyan trees outside.

The bark and branches of these banyan trees intertwined, looking like the face of an elder.

And on both sides of this tree, there were two thick and long branches, resembling arms hanging by its sides.

Stone-Throwing Ancient Tree!

Before Lin Ke came, he already knew about it; this was a "sentry" brought out from the Holy Life Alliance by the Forest Hut back in the day.

This kind of Stone-Throwing Ancient Tree is one of Naseng’s finest sentries, not only capable of defending against ground enemies, but its thick roots can also strangle invaders beneath the ground.

Even enemies in the sky, including dragons, could be struck and injured by the stones they throw.

Thus, it is called "Stone-Throwing Ancient Tree"!

"Just right, the edge of the Great Wilderness Plane still lacks some sentries..."

Lin Ke lightly caressed the Magma Staff in his hand and said to John beside him:

"Send orders to slay all Stone-Throwing Ancient Trees and take their hearts; we’ll take them back to plant in the Great Wilderness!"
