This process lasted for a full hour.

When that fierce magic power gradually dissipated, the swamp treant had already transformed.

Its height soared from 15 meters to 20 meters, and the trunk's diameter exceeded 5 meters!

The bark was ancient and rugged, full of wrinkles.

The canopy also increased, covering a range of 40 meters.

The underground roots broke through like bamboo shoots, spreading around a 50-meter range, causing the ground to appear with large spider-web-like cracks.

What's more unique is that two twisted and special branch arms grew on the trunk.

Exceeding 15 meters in length, they were sturdy and powerful; once swung, even cold-blooded cavalry could be overturned.

Seeing this, Lear felt quite pleased. Just from the appearance alone, the swamp treant had achieved a significant boost.

Focusing, its attribute panel immediately appeared in his mind.

Ancient Tree Guardian, Level: 12, Potential: 3 Stars (Level cap 12)

Racial Talent: Child of the Earth, can pull out the roots to walk on land; when rooted, defense increases by 70%, continuously absorbing the power of the earth to recover strength.

Dark Soul, can devour enemy souls with a chance to steal their power, gaining extra skills.

Seeing this, Lear took a deep breath, unable to hide the joy in his eyes.

A level of 12, it had already reached the full level of 3-star potential!

Moreover, it acquired a new racial talent—Dark Soul.

This skill is no simple feat; it has a chance to gain additional skills when devouring enemy souls.

If nurtured for three to five years, wouldn't it possess twenty to thirty skills?

Though the level has reached the cap, its potential remains high.

And there's still tremendous room for growth!!

Next are its skills—

1. Root Binding (3 Stars) When binding enemies with paralysis traits, causes weak traits, reducing all attributes by 30%; with the progression of time, the reduced attributes will reach as high as 99%.

2. Branch Whip (3 Stars) Swing branches to whip enemies, causing an additional 60% damage; for life forms smaller than 5 meters, inflicting 3 times the damage.

3. Living Stone Throwing (3 Stars) Can condense surrounding earth into rock chunks using tree roots, which are then thrown by the arms, with a throwing distance of 200 meters.

The first two skills remained the same, but with increased attributes compared to before.

The third skill is the newly acquired—stone throwing!

Are those two arms meant for this task?

Moreover, the stone blocks thrown can self-condense... isn't this an attack machine that can produce ammunition itself?

No wonder it's called a Tree Guardian.

The only pity is the range is only 200 meters; if it reached 2000 meters, now that would be fierce...

In high spirits, Lear looked at the Ancient Tree Guardian ahead, having it test the new skill—activation stone throwing.

The Tree Guardian immediately obliged.

Then, under his watchful eyes.

Suddenly provoked, it pulled up 12 roots, moving like dancing octopus tentacles.

Then placed flat on the ground, the root tips emitted unique magic power, and the surrounding earth started quickly gathering like being drawn by magnets.

In just three minutes, a giant rock was formed.

Its diameter exceeded 3 meters!

Then, the roots wrapped around the rock, lifting it deftly.

Two sturdy arms caught it in turn, slowly raising it overhead.

At this moment, the body bent doward.

After a moment of power storage, the giant trunk exerted force like a spring, and the terrifying giant rock with a diameter of three meters whistled out.

Leaving a striking trace in the sky, it suddenly crashed into the barren ground ahead.

Bang~

Crack~

Upon landing, the rock suddenly shattered, splashing large amounts of dirt, and countless sharp rock fragments scattered around.

Covering a range of twenty to thirty meters.

Once the dust settled, Lear saw a huge pit revealed on the ground...

Though condensed by magic, the rock dealt pure physical damage, remaining fragile and sharp.

Taking a deep breath, he turned to the 12 Ancient Tree Guardians by his side, his gaze extremely pleased.

Amazing!!

With such destructive power, even cold-blooded cavalry would barely survive a shot!

Even armored enemies would suffer heavy damage within the stone shard range.

This type of area damage couldn't possibly be evaded; it had to be endured.

After the first giant stone was launched, the second condensed stone had already been delivered by the twisting roots.

The Ancient Tree Guardian's arms directly transported them, starting to store power.

After the second shot, a third followed closely.

All this left Lear's heart surging with excitement, and even more astonishing is... those freed roots began condensing new rocks again.

At this rate, the Ancient Tree Guardian could continuously carry out throwing attacks!

Damn, this is infinite ammo!!

Isn't this pure hacking?

In the future, when stationed at the territory's outer perimeter, these 12 treants would be 12 endless artillery towers.

As Lear was getting excited, the Ancient Tree Guardian ahead suddenly halted, turning to a certain direction.

"Master... I feel the presence of other swamp treants."

"They are calling us..."

Other swamp treants?!

Lear's breath stilled.

What's this, after upgrading, there are additional benefits?!!

Hahaha, interesting, so interesting!!
