Chapter 159: The Ants' Fungal "God



The Spring Wheat is planted.

A full hundred acres of planting area—within the scope of Li Ye's Cave Mansion, basically any land is considered the lowest level of Spirit Field.

In fact, due to the flow of Spiritual Qi within the Cave Mansion, it is even stronger than ordinary low-level Spirit Fields.

This is actually normal.

What a Spirit Plant Master does is transform land into Spirit Fields, rather than continuously buying Spirit Fields to fill the land. The difference between the former and the latter is quite significant.

After waking up, Li Ye sat at the edge of the field, gazing, and when feeling bored, he changed into very comfortable clothes, barefoot stepping into the field.

He walked casually, yet never stepped on a single wheat seedling.

His bare feet touched the slightly moist soil, feeling the vitality brewing within, ready to burst forth from the earth, rising up.

It's like a foot massage.

Those seeds that haven't sprouted yet, and the seedlings that have already sprouted, all convey their joy and eagerness to Li Ye in this way.

"Through these Spring Wheat, I can also inject my emotions into the land."

"Completely transform this land into Spirit Fields."

Li Ye tried to cast spells without using his hands—as the limbs most frequently in contact with the earth, he felt that his feet should also be able to cast spells.

By measuring the land with his feet, the state of every inch of land was within his perception, Spiritual Power infused into the land.

His expectations, the Spiritual Power of Jianmu, and the Golden Sand Crow cawing and flying in the sky.

Everything is being nurtured and spread in the earth.

"It is indeed effective."

"It just needs time."

Li Ye did not get discouraged, as long as it is completed before the Spring Wheat matures.

He routinely walked through the full one hundred acres of land, then turned to the area where Bamboo Wood Ants were placed.

Here, a strange-looking bamboo house had already appeared.

—It was a variant of the Spirit Bamboo sent by the Enlightened Race immediately after receiving the reliable information about the Potato Flood Dragon's availability.

This variant is called "Cyan Leaf Spirit Mansion."

In appearance, it still looks like a bamboo plant, but the leaves are quite large, curling to form a round wooden house shape, directly hanging to the ground.

Simply put, it relies on the leaves of the Spirit Bamboo to gather; it's not meant for living in, mostly used as a bed for Spirit Plants or Spirit Beasts.

This thing is also an experimental product on the Enlightened Race's side, intended for intercropping with some Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts.

When it was sent, this thing couldn't be bound.

Li Ye originally thought it was a pity, but didn't expect his Bamboo Wood Ants to be very fond of this Spirit Plant—now the Bamboo Wood Ants are already trimming leaf after leaf, transporting them back to their nest for direct planting.

"By the way."

Speaking of the Bamboo Wood Ant's nest, Li Ye came to the ant nest, resembling a mountain range, and quietly looked up at it.

"Every time I see it, I always feel these creatures' architectural talent is really comparable to some masters."

—In front of him, this bamboo wood structure, tens of feet high, with countless tunnels and chambers inside, is the Bamboo Wood Ant's nest.

Previously, all the Bamboo Wood Ants Li Ye bound have now merged into one colony.

Whenever Bamboo Wood Ants are about to die or something, they elongate themselves into strips of wood boards, embedding into this nest.

After this period of constant expansion and reproduction of all Bamboo Wood Ants, this nest is now mountain-sized, and the interior passages make even a cultivator's Divine Sense feel mentally exhausted.

Other than the necessary Bamboo Wood Ants going out to collect food, the rest of the Bamboo Wood Ants complete their life cycle from birth to death within this massive bamboo wood nest.

The leaves trimmed from the Cyan Leaf Spirit Mansion are brought into the depths of this structure for planting and cultivation.

Actually, this is the correct original survival method of Bamboo Wood Ants.

They... originally needed leaves to decay into growing fungi inside the ant nest to serve as food.

Like Li Ye forcibly intervening and turning them from fungus nurturers to consuming bamboo sap, it is indeed a deviation.

"Didn't expect to actually return to the starting point now."

"And... has a relationship with Earth Emotion Fungus."

Through Divine Sense, Li Ye peered into the rather grand bamboo structure area deep within the ant nest.

That area was very strange, completely lacking the cramped feeling of the ant nest, instead resembling a temple or Divine Hall.

But inside it, all the leaves they gathered were stacked.

The warm Spiritual Qi produced by the fusion of Spiritual Power and bamboo wood decay mixed with the leaf's Spiritual Qi to form quite good nourishment for fungi.

Clusters of mycelium are growing in the leaves, with strands of candied fruit skewers, braised pork, lion heads, and other food shapes hanging on the small mycelium.

Moreover, the color changed from the previous unpleasant gray-black to bamboo wood's cyan.

The Bamboo Wood Ants are diligently transporting the "fruits" produced by Earth Emotion Fungus growth deeper into the ant nest, serving as food and stored up.

Originally, Li Ye bound the Earth Emotion Fungus with a Void Nether Grass; this guy wandered everywhere, if not for discovering its disappearance, Li Ye couldn't have thought it actually formed this relationship with Bamboo Wood Ants.

It actually doesn't need Resentment Qi to grow, and even found itself a long-term meal ticket—the Bamboo Wood Ants would diligently seek leaves and transport them here to provide nutrients for the Earth Emotion Fungus growth.

Turning around, Earth Emotion Fungus went from chasing Spirit Beasts everywhere to feed, to lying here enjoying and incidentally producing some "fruits" to feed the Bamboo Wood Ants.
