Chapter 1178 Plant Organisms

As they traveled a few kilometers into Vogel's territory, heading ever southward, Minos and his group soon came across creatures native to the area.

The first creatures in their path were only low-level beasts of varying species, creatures Minos had only known from his memories of Henricus Longus.

At the same time as new creatures appeared in their surroundings, the woods there also became more and more impressive, leaving behind the typical image of the woods in the northern region.

There were trees hundreds of meters high and plants that grew in the air above waterfalls, where the water droplets formed a beautiful rainbow.

Not only this, many plants there had colorful 'veins,' some were shiny in a way that Minos could not help but open his eyes and mouth in surprise.

"This place is fascinating!" He commented with a smile on his face as he observed the vibrant area in front of him.

Gloria smiled at him and explained some of the vegetation of this place. "Do you see that?" She pointed to a flowering plant floating on top of the waterfall. "That's a plant called Light As Air, one that only reaches that state once it gets past level 60."

Plant organisms could also be classified using the cultivation classification of beasts and humanoid beings. But usually, they were not, as few of them gained consciousness.

Most just cultivate unconsciously, gathering large amounts of spiritual energy in their bodies without having intelligence.

These were called spiritual medicines.

But some plants could become conscious beings, which were classified differently from medicines.

However, if one wished to consume or use them to produce artifacts, perhaps pills, they were just as valuable as spiritual medicines!

But this was also true for humans or any other living beings in this world.

Cultivators usually did not use humans or other beings to produce artifacts was merely a moral issue, not something generated by the impossibility of using such bodies.

For example, Minos knew that the bodies of dead cultivators could be used to nurture spiritual roots.

He had only never done something like this before because he did not have any high-level corpses on his hands. Otherwise, he would do the same thing he did with the Divine-grade medicine he used on the spiritual root of Dry City years ago!

Anyway, Minos knew that, and when Gloria talked about that being who was a Spiritual Emperor like them, he looked with even more interest at that creature.

How was this possible?

Well, these plant organisms had very high abilities over their bodies, which could even hide the presence of their parts.

The only weakness of this ability was if someone who knew their characteristics looked at them. Thus, their ability would lose its camouflage effect.

"Why would I do such a thing? I'm fine where I am, and I don't know what kind of things you can do to me if I accept such a thing!" So, it said in a somewhat childish voice, typical of these remarkable plants.

Most of them did not mature until a few tens of thousands of years, so many of them could be compared to human children in their early moments.

"Come on, if you give me a small part of your body, I'll let you inhabit the space between two floating islands in the future!" Minos smiled and made a gesture as if trying to seduce that plant.

Upon hearing that, that creature's 'eyes' sparkled in interest. "Really?"

Floating islands were like the dream place of Light As Air plants. That was because such islands were synonymous with places with dense amounts of spiritual energy!

After all, such an island only floated because of the rare metal found in its foundations, which was repelled by spiritual energy.

When such areas with this metal were in regions with a high density of spiritual energy, what happened was that these pieces of land would ascend to the skies!

Because of this, the level 67 plant there soon became interested in the trap of Minos.

'What a guy with no morals! He is manipulating the poor Light As Air to follow him because of this promise...' Ruth looked at that and shook her head.

As for Gloria, she was curious to know where these floating islands he was saying were. "Ruth, what is he talking about?"

The beautiful black-haired woman then replied. "Oh, about that, some cities on the Black Plain were built on top of Medratium deposits. So, Minos expects many floating islands to appear in the future in our territory."

Gloria's eyes sparkled as that creature looked interestedly at Minos.

"And why do you want me to go with you? What do you get?"
