Chapter 400 Hunting the Sea Soul Beast (5)
"What kind of plant is this?"
Tang San couldn't help but be surprised when he discovered that the leaves of the plant were actually light blue, similar to Blue Silver Grass.
Zhou Qing carefully looked at the curled part of the plant stem and found that it was a structure similar to the veins of bluesilver grass. He asked Ariel tentatively: "Could that be the tree formed by curling up the bluesilver grass?" Right? ”
"How could it be Bluesilver Grass? Grass is grass, and trees are trees. They are completely different!" Xiao Wu definitely didn't think it was Bluesilver Grass, but an unknown tree species with blue leaves.
But Ariel was surprised by Zhou Qing's keen insight, nodded and said: "Yes, that is Blue Silver Grass."
Xiao Wu's eyes widened: "How could it be Blue Silver Grass?"
"Yeah, no matter what, it should be the Blue Silver Tree, right?" Romantina complained.
"It's actually true to say it's a blue silver tree, but in essence, it's still grass."
Ariel seemed to be sighing, her blue eyes filled with an inexplicable color, "When the seeds of Bluesilver Grass fell on the sea heart stone, they began to take root and sprout, growing rapidly, but there was no soil and sea water around them. When full of salt, the bluesilver grass growing on the sea heart stone had to change its shape, and even the leaves of multiple bluesilver grasses were intertwined together, and the roots were also intertwined together. "
"In this way, in less than three years, the original leaves turned into black tree-like stems, able to withstand the beating of sea water, and new oval-shaped blue leaves grew on the top... But If you look more closely, you will find that the leaves have no petioles and extend directly from the black branches.”
"So, this Blue Silver Tree only looks like a tree in appearance, but in fact it is still Blue Silver Grass. The black stems and branches have only been changed to resist the erosion of sea water."
Tang San couldn't help but stand in awe and said: "Although Blue Silver Grass is weak, it is also tenacious!"
In this sea area, every reef containing sea core stone has more or less blue silver trees growing there.
As for other plants, there are only some blue moss-like seaweed and algae entrenched on the edge of the reef.
Why not other plants?
Zhou Qing guessed that it may be because the growth cycle of blue silver grass is short and it can complete iterative evolution in a short period of time to quickly adapt to the current environment.
Other plants, especially trees, cannot evolve into forms adapted to the reef sea environment in a short period of time, and naturally cannot survive.
Seeing that Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina were all curious, Ariel drove the big ship to a reef where blue and silver trees grew, so that they could have a closer look.
"Is this blue silver tree already twenty meters tall?" Romantina was surprised, "Can blue silver grass grow so tall?"
"Maybe it's the life energy in the sea heart stone... Miss Ariel, is this blue silver tree a plant soul beast?" Zhou Qing suddenly asked.
"Some people have thought about it before, but no one knew it."
"Why?"
Tang San was puzzled. He judged whether the blue silver tree was a plant spirit beast, cut it in half and saw if a spirit ring would emerge. Wouldn't it be clear at a glance?
"You can give it a try." Ariel did not answer, but waved to the sailor on the side, asking him to hand the scimitar at his waist to Tang San.
After taking the scimitar, Tang San realized that Alice wanted him to chop down the blue silver tree, so he reached out and grabbed a handful of black branches extending from the blue silver tree, and chopped it off with all his strength.
bite!
The edge of the knife was bounced away, and there was even a gap in the edge.
Looking at the black curled branches of the blue silver tree, they were actually unscathed, not even a trace could be found. "It's so hard!" Tang San was in disbelief, and went to chop off the light blue leaves again, but it was extremely easy. He didn't even need a knife, just pulled a handful of light blue leaves off.
"Do you understand now?"
Ariel smiled slightly, "This blue silver grass is weak, but when curled up, it is extremely hard. Ordinary soldiers of gold and iron cannot hurt it at all."
"That's not to say that humans can't cut it off, but this is the reef sea area after all, where sea spirit beasts gather. Staying for too long is too dangerous. No spirit master will waste hunting just to cut down the blue silver tree. When it comes to spirit beasts, and the martial spirits of the humans in Hanhai City are mostly sea spirit beasts and aquatic spirit beasts, it is impossible to take the effort to cut down a blue silver tree that is not known to be a plant spirit beast. "
In short, no one in Hanhai City has any demand for plant soul beasts, and hunting soul beasts in the sea is too dangerous to stay for a long time, so no one wants to explore whether the blue silver tree is a plant soul beast.
But Zhou Qing seemed to understand why the Blue Silver Emperor had such an offensive soul skill as the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
Look!
In order to survive, ordinary bluesilver grass curls and twists together, which can make the leaves black and harden. Ignore the branches and leaves of the bluesilver tree and just look at the black stems, which look like pieces of quilt. Did the craftsmen make the gun head not so straight?
The Blue Silver Emperor's ability to evolve the skill of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear is clearly because it can curl and spiral blades to form a shape similar to a drill bit or a gun head.
And this characteristic is not only possessed by the Blue Silver Emperor, but also by the most common Blue Silver Grass.
These blue and silver trees, which grow on sea stones and have to coil and entangle together to form a symbiosis in order to resist the erosion of sea water, are the best proof.
At most, the Blue Silver Emperor has reached the 100,000-year level and can control it by himself. However, after these ordinary Blue Silver Grasses gather together to form a Blue Silver Tree, it is estimated that they cannot be separated at the physical level.
[According to the description in the original work, each blue silver grass has its own soul. Which one of these blue silver trees is dominant? Or is it that when they are combined together, all the Blue Silver Grass will dominate together and form a brand new soul aggregate? 】

Inexplicably, Zhou Qing became very interested in the specific situation of the Blue Silver Tree.
After all, this form is a bit similar to group consciousness... If this blue silver tree has spiritual attributes, then it is also suitable for Romantina.
But there is a high probability that it is impossible.
"That's true, but there are always powerful soul masters who have cut down the blue silver tree, right?" Xiao Wu asked.
"There are indeed powerful soul masters who have cut down the Blue Silver Tree." Ariel also agreed.
"Since it has been cut off, it should be easy to tell whether it is a plant spirit beast, right? You can tell by looking at the spirit ring."
If there is a soul ring, it is a plant soul beast.
Without a soul ring, it would not be a plant soul beast.
Why is this answer uncertain?
"How should I put it? After cutting down the blue silver tree, I could feel the fluctuations in cultivation within it, but no soul ring emerged."
Ariel shook her head and said, "So, no one is sure whether the Blue Silver Tree is a soul beast, because it has fluctuations in cultivation, but no soul ring appears. It is really strange."
"It is said that more than two hundred years ago, Wuhun Palace was interested in exploring the roots of the Blue Silver Tree, but at that time it seemed that Wuhun Palace sent two thousand soul masters to Poseidon Island, the holy land of almost all sea soul masters, in an attempt to recruit the people there. The result for the soul masters was unsatisfactory. In the end, less than a hundred soul masters failed, and even two titled Douluo were lost.”
"Since then, Wuhundian has given up exploring the sea and the flora and fauna soul beasts on the sea..."
