His cultivation of battle energy was forced to stop.
Gong Hao could even feel the pulse of the Dou Qi in his body. He believed that if he persevered and trained, he would become an outstanding warrior sooner or later.
Unfortunately, Lancelot did not give him the chance. Perhaps it was just as Lancelot said. He didn't intend to bring any trouble to Purgatory Island. A boy who only had the fighting energy of a beginner warrior and had not even learned any combat techniques was much safer than a handyman with higher strength.
Even though Gong Hao wouldn't be able to surpass a Sky Warrior in ten years even if he continued to train like this, he also knew that the destruction didn't come from his own strength.
Sometimes, power was merely a medium for unleashing destructive power. It was just like how a mage's magic power was merely a medium for guiding the power of heaven and earth, but the consequences could be earth-shattering.
Lancelot felt that this kid was very smart. He regretted his slip of the tongue back then. He wondered if he had noticed something. However, it seemed that other than working hard as usual, this kid did not have any special performance.
This made him feel much more at ease.
Indeed, Gong Hao was now fully immersed in his work. Without Lancelot's permission, he could only use the traditional method to cultivate his battle aura.
The improvement was indeed very slow.
The magic plants in the greenhouse were full of vitality under his careful care. Gong Hao had basically completely grasped the situation of the demonic plants here. He even had a deep understanding of the work in other areas.
The only thing that gave him a headache was the seed of the Bloody Orchid.
Gong Hao had used no less than dozens of methods to nurture it, but it had never appeared.
He had also observed the seed to see if it was dead, but in fact, the seed was still smooth and intact, just like an embryo in its mother's body, unwilling to grow.
Mother?
Gong Hao suddenly had a feeling.
"Damn it!" Gong Hao slapped his head fiercely. He realized that he had made a mistake, a mistake that everyone could make.
Magic plants were not ordinary plants. They were sentient beings, and some of them could even express their emotions, such as the pot of flowers that Lancelot had brought.
They had intelligence, feelings, and desires. To a certain extent, other than their living form being similar to plants, their ideology was closer to that of magical beasts. This was the main reason why they were recognized as magic plants.
Gong Hao had probably made a big mistake by cultivating this seed alone according to tradition.
This kind of demonic plant might not need to be nurtured at all, or it might not need humans to overdo it. They were creatures with intelligence, just like magical beasts, they had the concept of family and bloodline.
That's right! It must be like this! Gong Hao became excited.
He held the seed and quickly came to the Blood Orchid. Looking at the seemingly harmless petals, he said softly,"Hey, I think it's your child, right? I'll return it to you now."
Bloody Orchid shook a few times.
It reacted!
Gong Hao carefully placed the seed in the flower pot of the Bloody Orchid, guarding against this fellow's attack. However, it seemed that the Bloody Orchid had no intention of attacking it.
The seed was put down, and a vine stretched out from the soil, wrapped around the seed, and dragged it into the soil.
"It seems that you will take care of it, right? I'm sorry, I thought I could cultivate it, but I made a mistake. It is not your seed, but your child. It needs a mother to take care of it, not an outsider like me to interfere…Alright, then I'll leave it to you. I'll find you a bigger space, a quieter space, so that you can take care of your child slowly. Before it grows up, I won't separate it from you again.”
The petals of the Bloody Orchid drooped slightly.
"Is this how you express your gratitude?" The boy smiled. Alright, I accept."
Ten days later, the seed sprouted.
Next to the adult Blood Orchid, a small Blood Orchid was struggling to break out of the ground.
The green twig indicated the birth of a new life.
Even though he had worked hard for the past few days, the way to succeed was to return to the beginning. Gong Hao felt that his efforts had not been in vain.
At least he learned to respect life.
The Blood Orchid had very high requirements for the environment. Gong Hao specially planted them in the flowerbed. That way, they could grow freely, but at the same time, it brought a higher degree of danger.
There was once when Finkle came to see it and was bitten by the Bloody Orchid.
"You should be careful, Finkle. You've seen how powerful it is.”Gong Hao said as he bandaged Finkle's wound.
"I saw you standing next to it, fine, so I thought…" Finkle felt wronged.
"That's because I'm its friend.”
"Friends? Make friends with a plant?"
"As long as you care for any life, you can always be a friend. Magic plants were not just plants. Don't underestimate them.”
"What about the magical beasts? Their spirituality is higher. Can you be friends with them?”
"That requires more time and care. The more intelligent a creature was, the higher their requirements for friendship.”Gong Hao replied indifferently.
"Like humans?"
"For example, humans."
Finkle smiled.”
After bandaging his wound, Gong Hao said to Fanner,"I noticed that you've been a little lazy recently. Do you think you can be unscrupulous just because you're familiar with this place? I remember telling you to work hard and not slack off. I don't want Andrew to take you away.”
"That's not something to be afraid of, is it?”Finkle didn't care.
Gong Hao sighed. There were many things he couldn't say, so he could only say,""I just can't bear to leave you. Finkle, look, you're my best friend. We left Southville together, came here together, and worked together. I don't want to be separated from you. Finkle, sometimes I find myself afraid of loneliness. When I sleep alone at night, I miss my parents. But I have no choice…I only have you, Finkle. So promise me, work hard and don't be taken away by Andrew, okay? Consider it helping me."
Fanner looked at Gong Hao in a daze.
Gong Hao looked at him with a pitiful and helpless gaze. Finkle nodded helplessly."Alright, I promise that I will work hard and never leave you.”
Gong Hao finally heaved a sigh of relief.
——————————————————
Three days later.
When he came out of the library, Gong Hao was still engrossed in reading.
"Glaer, can you help me? I'm a little busy here." Someone called out to him from afar.
Gong Hao raised his head and saw that it was Bi Lei from the 42nd area, a 14-year-old youth with green eyes.
He had just arrived at Purgatory Island this month, so he was quite diligent. If he asked Gong Hao for help, it meant that he might really be a little too busy with work.
"You know I never refuse to help my companions.”
"That's great. This morning, Lord Andrew asked me to extract a liter of blood-sucking bee honey for him. This matter is not easy to settle, but I have trouble on my side. A few snow rabbits were throwing tantrums. They were not happy and desperately knocked their heads against the cage. They needed someone to calm them down. The blue-eyed foxes also had diarrhea and needed someone to take care of them. I had to go to Saker and ask for a bottle of Insect Repellent Potion so that I could keep those terrifying blood-sucking bees away from me when I was collecting the honey. I can't split myself up!"
"Alright, then I'll help you deal with the rabbits and foxes. I'll tell those rabbits that if they don't restrain their temper, I'll throw them to the foxes.”
" You're really something," Bill chuckled." Greer, thank you so much."”
he said, running away.
There were more than 30 types of magic beasts and bugs in area 42. Gong Hao often helped the servants, so he was familiar with these magical beasts. He even gave each magical beast a name.
"Hey, brat, I haven't been here for a few days and you've lost weight. Bile must have abused you, right?”
"Alright, you are a chicken, not a chicken that has been dried up. There is no need to hang yourself on a cage all day.”
"Oh, and you, Ironshell, you annoying big lizard. Don't stick your tongue out at me, or I'll deduct the food I gave you.。。That's a good girl."
Gong Hao pointed at the magical beasts and joked with them while skillfully delivering food to the poor guys locked in cages.
After a while, Bill ran back with a small bottle in his hand.
Not far away, there was a double-layered iron cage covered with a magic net. There were about thousands of blood-sucking bees flying up and down inside. They fed on blood and pollen, and at the same time, they secreted a strange blood honey. This blood honey could be used to make recovery potions and could also increase the strength of mages who specialized in blood-type spells. It could help them recover their lost vitality and was a very important material.
He opened the bottle and applied the insect repelling potion on his exposed skin. This potion could emit a strong pungent smell, causing most magic bugs to avoid it. Interestingly, the main ingredient of this potion was also magic bugs.
He opened the door of the first cage and walked in. After closing the door, he opened the door of the second cage. The magic cages had double doors, so there was no need to worry about the magical beasts and bugs escaping when people entered.
As expected, the blood-sucking bees were very sensitive to this kind of insect-attracting water. After Bill entered, they all fled.
However, for some reason, they did not escape far and continued to hover above the beehive.
Bill carefully opened the beehive, where countless blood-sucking bees were crawling. He carefully took out a clean bucket and prepared to fill it with blood honey.
Blood honey was the main food used by the blood-sucking bees to feed the queen bee and the baby bees. Only the worker bees drank blood. To some extent, the act of taking honey was actually snatching food from the mouths of blood-sucking bees. As magic bugs, the blood-sucking bees always hated the act of stealing honey. At this moment, their wings fluttered and made a buzzing sound, carrying the threat of death.
Gong Hao, who had just calmed down the unhappy snow rabbits, felt the noise in his ears getting louder and louder. He looked back in shock and saw that more and more blood-sucking bees were gathering above Bi Le's head, like a large cloud of blood pressing down on him.
Gong Hao's expression changed drastically as he roared at the cage,"Bile, come out quickly! Are those blood-sucking bees going to attack you?"
"What did you say?"
The loud noise made it impossible for Bi Lei to hear what Gong Hao was saying. He looked up in annoyance and was surprised to see the red cloud that was constantly enlarging above his head.
A large number of Blood-Sucking Bees spiraled into a stream of red blood, diving toward Bill.
"No!"
Following Bill's shrill scream, the bucket in his hand fell to the ground…
