Hit Points: 60 (Life Dice 8D8+24)

Attributes: Strength 17, Dexterity 12, Constitution 16, Intelligence 9, Perception 14, Charisma 10

Special Ability: Bend Wood Art, Dark Vision, Plant Traits, Fire Phobia, Meld Into Forest, Apple Mutual Assistance.

These are the attributes of adult Apple Songlan Treants, who sprout green apples atop their heads.

The transformation of these Sodalite Treants primarily focuses on intrinsic attributes, with the highest enhancing by two points, most below this, in direct proportion to the Apple Power absorbed from Stelina; the more absorbed, the greater the enhancement, or vice versa.

That means that even those saplings not yet grown to maturity would have a starting point at the current highest, since Stelina has already grafted Apple Power into their bodies, and they will further nurture themselves.

In Gaven’s view, the enhancement of intrinsic attributes in Sodalite Treants is far more valuable than their physical attributes.

Especially Intelligence; seven points is a watershed, below which one is basically feeble-minded or beast-like, seven points barely meets the passing line, and above that belongs to truly intelligent beings.

Sodalite Treants were previously hard to put to significant use largely due to their low Intelligence, rigid thinking, and lack of adaptability.

With nine points of Intelligence, though still humorously referred to as having "missing links" or "absent-minded," the adaptability is slightly lacking, it’s sufficient.

There is a distinctly personal strength, sufficiently stubborn, once they set their mind to something, they will persist to the end foolishly, coupled with their unique ability, becoming a specialist in specific aspects.

These Apple Songlan Treants are undoubtedly born apple farmers. Bend Wood Art endowed them with the ability to change the shape of tree branches according to their wishes, allowing growth according to need, facilitating harvest and maximal sunlight utilization.

The Apple Mutual Assistance capability would make them meticulously care for their orchard as if looking after their own home.

Apple Mutual Assistance (Special Ability) — Apple orchards with Apple Songlan Treants will flourish more, allowing these Treants to harmoniously communicate with the apple trees, understanding their needs.

The flourish of the orchard will feed back to this Apple Songlan Treant, absorbing the life nutrients needed for further robust growth; the apples atop their head will blossom and bear fruit with the orchard, growing into Magic Golden Apples, and every three Life Dice can nurture one Magic Golden Apple.

If Magic Golden Apple is planted in an orchard, within ten days it will absorb Apple Power and grow into a new Apple Songlan Treant.

As long as the assisted apple orchard isn’t destroyed, the Apple Songlan Treant won’t truly die; it will regenerate within ten days in its assisted orchard, which must have at least ten mature apple trees.

The saplings bred by rooted Apple Songlan Treants are no longer Apple Songlan Treant seedlings but apple tree saplings.

Apple Mutual Assistance not only endowed Apple Songlan Treants with unique abilities, but also changed their breeding method from the previous wild coarse breeding to superior breeding.

This breeding method has both benefits and drawbacks.

The drawback is that their breeding capability drastically reduced, from at least a hundred trees per year to only a few.

The advantage is that survival rate significantly increased.

Previously, while breeding quantity was high, the Sodalite Treant saplings, before maturing, were like ordinary trees, lacking both thought and activity capabilities, any life could potentially destroy them, survival rate was extremely low, entirely based on luck.

Only in the Land of Sealed Divine Roots, such an absolutely safe place, could this large-scale breeding capability be maximized.

If in the wilderness, this more portable and cared survival rate is higher, nearly one-hundred percent.

Every Apple Songlan Treant is an autonomous walking apple breeding machine, wherever they go, they can bring the apple orchard with them.

Golden Apple Garden’s Golden Apple Treants also have this ability, and it’s even stronger.

But they have a fatal flaw, there are too few of them; even pushing the potential of the entire Golden Apple Garden to the limit, the number of Golden Apple Treants has not exceeded three hundred, only able to cultivate apples in the Golden Apple Garden and the core areas chosen by Gaven.

Their abilities lean towards protection, guarding those large apple gardens.

While the Apple Songlan Treants with Apple Mutual Assistance ability count over ten thousand from the start, within a few years, they can establish tens of thousands of small apple gardens.

Even Gaven finds this terrifying upon reflection, asking Stelina: "How do you plan to use them?"

This question clearly carries a testing tone.

Stelina thought for a moment and cautiously replied: "I would like to keep those Sodalite Treants without the Apple Mutual Assistance ability by my side, letting them assist me in tending the apple tree seeds in the Marching Mountains.

Those Apple Songlan Treants with Apple Mutual Assistance ability, let them go out, to major forests, mountains, and wilderness to take root, nurturing their own apple gardens, feeding and nurturing more life, this is the best way to spread knowledge."

"Your approach is not problematic," Gaven said solemnly, "but you skipped a crucial step."
