When the morning light pierces the clouds, a new day comes on time.

At dawn, the mountains and forests were silent. Even the sound of insects that had been ringing all night had stopped. Only the cool breeze in the morning blew across the leaves and made a slight rubbing.

Uchiha Li Qing sat cross-legged in the barrier with her eyes closed, above the roots of the big tree transformed by the ten-tail clone.

If you look closely, you will find that the huge tree is breathing like an animal at this time. Whether it is the branches or roots of the tree, it is shrinking and expanding in a very small arc, which is in line with Uchihali's breathing frequency.

The subtle stream of light flows on the roots and branches of the big tree, condensing little by little at the top of the big tree, as if nurturing a fruit.

When the rising sun slowly moved from the distant horizon to the sky, it was almost noon, and Uchiha Li opened his eyes.

At this time, Madara walked in from outside the barrier with the food box and placed it in front of Uchiha Li.

Uchiha Li opened the food box with great enthusiasm and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Today's lunch looks good too. Speaking of which, Yodo Temple can say that it's 'take' of food and accommodation. Maybe I should repay the monks here before leaving. Although they don't even have bald heads, they are also good monks."

Madara ignored his slut, walked straight to the side and sat down, looking at Uchiha's top of the big tree behind him.

When Uchiha Li finished lunch, he asked, "How are you preparing?"

Uchiha Li put the food box aside, looked up at the top of the big tree, and said, "It may be done before night comes."

He closed his eyes again and said, "I hope everything goes well and we can end this mission commission this night."

Madara sneered and said, "I hope you don't regret letting go of the thing on Emiya Kiritsugu."

"It's too late to regret now."

Uchiha Li said with a smile.

"But I am very confident in my plan and your combat effectiveness, senior."

"Ha, I will naturally do my best this time."

Madara smiled, as if she was storing a desire to fight.

Uchiha Li said: "That thing is still dormant, but I can no longer sense his position. In this case, I can only wait until the battle breaks out at night before I can confirm it. I just don't know...whether there will be a battle tonight."

Madara said: "If the other party wants to come to this world soon, he will take action."

"That's true." Uchiha Li said, "Although Kiritsugu Emiya took away the small holy grail, the power accumulated in the small holy grail is not enough to break the passage to the Great Holy grail. The other party must ensure that at least one hero has left the field."

"Maybe the other party will come to you." Madara glanced at him, "Compared to Archer and Rider, Caster's combat power is weaker, not to mention that it was your actions that made Emiya Kiritsugu lose his servant."

"But it is also unwise to find Caster who has a [Magic Workshop] rashly," Uchiha Li retorted, "No matter how you say that Kiritsugu Emiya has lost his servant. That power and other forces can never match the heroic spirit. I tend to guess that the other party might want to take advantage of the troubled waters."

"The guess makes no sense."

Madara said lightly and began to close his eyes and rest.

Uchiha Li shook his head, closed his eyes and continued to communicate with the big tree behind him.

At this time, the ten-tail clone had been completely released by him and began to greedily devour the abundant spiritual veins in the earth under his feet.

Although the energy in the spiritual vein becomes full of negative things because the Great Holy Grail device is maliciously contaminated, the Ten Tails, as a weapon made by the Otsutsuki clan, can devour a powerful weapon that can swallow the original energy of a planet. Even if it is just a part of it intercepted from it, it is not difficult to get these malicious and negative energy.

After absorbing enough energy, this clone will produce a chakra fruit like the body.

Although the total amount and mass of chakra contained in it cannot be compared with the chakra fruits grown on the body, it can also play a lot of roles.

Unlike the original body, when the fruit matures, this clone will die.

Even the King of Yama cannot create clones at will, and the Ten Tails cannot be broken and inserted into the land at any time and survived like ordinary plants.

Although the other ten tails created countless clones to join the battle on the battlefield of the Rain Kingdom, their essence is different.

It is obviously very difficult to create a special clone behind him that possesses devouring energy and produces fruits like the original body, or it is impossible to do it under normal circumstances.

King Yama was able to do this because on the one hand, because He was the body of a god, and the ten tails that were still young were planted in hell. On the other hand, as King Yama [Lord of the Yellow Springs Hell], the ten tails were naturally included in His control.

After trying, King Yanmo found that making this special clone would obviously hurt the origin of the ten-tailed plant.

So at the beginning, Uchiha Li did not intend to give this precious clone result.

But now, because the mission goal is unclear, and there are guys like Archer who are beyond the specifications and have a moody personality, he has to use this trump card to deal with the next action.

However, this can also greatly weaken the total amount of magic power polluted in the Great Holy Grail on the other hand.

It is another result that is beneficial to Uchiha Li.

Now he only hopes that the rewards of this mission can be worthy of the resources he has paid for.

Time passes slowly.

When the fruit growing from the top of the big tree behind Uchiha gradually grew, the size of the big tree itself gradually shrank.

When the sun sets again, everyone in Tomki City can see a gathering red light shooting from Mount Enzo on the edge of the city, reaching the sky.

Uchiha Li had already stood up and faced the ten-tail clone who was only half a person tall.

At this moment, the ten-tail clone no longer looks like a big tree, but has become a human-shaped monster again.

But a monster was obviously very thin and shriveled at this time, with a huge red fruit on its head, which looked really weird.

"It's going to be fully mature."

Uchiha Ri looked up at the red light column that soared into the sky.

"At the same time our location was also exposed, although Archer may have known it."

He turned to look at Madara.

"Senior Madara, because this place may become a battlefield tonight, please use illusion to control those monks to leave as soon as possible."

The blotch nodded and flashed away from the barrier.

Uchiha Li continued to look at the shrinking ten-tail clone. After a while, the fruit had grown to the size of a human head, and the ten-tail clone had shrunk to the height of Uchiha Li's calf.

Finally, as the red light rising into the sky dissipated, the ten-tail clone had completely turned into a dry and fragile small tree root, and the red fruit as big as a human head shrank again to the size of a lo fist.

With a bang, the tree roots broke and the red fruit rolled onto the ground.

Uchiha Li bent down and picked up the fruit, feeling the chakra in it.

Since he could not own chakra himself, he could not use this fruit.

Fortunately, this should improve the combat effectiveness of many stencils.

He looked at it, took it under his nose and smelled it, then placed the fruit in the prepared wooden box and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Madara will be back soon.

"Let's go."

Uchiha Li said to him.

"Someone may have arrived. Before the monks left completely, we went outside the mountain gate to block the road."

...

Sure enough, when the two of them stood under the stone steps outside the mountain gate, Archer gathered with a wave of golden light and appeared on the big tree beside them.

On the other side, Rider, riding a horse with Weber, also appeared.

“Well…”

Rider pulled the reins and let the horse stop at the intersection.

"So you are here, Jin Shanshan and Caster, were you two fighting just now?"

He looked at Madara again and asked, "Who is this person? Could it be that the eighth hero appeared in this Holy Grail?"

"This is the helper summoned."

Uchiha Ledao.

"Just like the army summoned by the Lord Conqueror, it is a treasure."

"I see."

Rider touched his furry chin and looked at Banyan carefully.

"It turns out to be the same outfit as you, Caster. Well... Although they are all treasures to summon companions, my army is more powerful in terms of speaking."

"Ha." Madara sneered, "You'll know if you try."

"oh?"

Rider looked at Uchiha Li and asked with interest: "So, do you want to fight me? Caster? If it is not strong enough, I will not use the treasure easily."

He pointed at Archer standing on the big tree next to him.

"Speaking of this, Archer has clearly stated that he would kill me. This is also considered a battle. My strongest treasure must be kept against him."

Hearing Rider speak so bluntly, Archer, who had been in a normal state of silence just now, said: "It's okay, Rider, although I will do my best, if you want to fight Caster before that, I can also give you merciful permission."

While he spoke, he looked at Uchiha Li with malicious intentions.

“…”

Uchiha Li had a headache.

Now he has lost the energy replenishment of the Ten Tail Clan, which is basically equivalent to only going out but not going in. He really doesn't want to waste too much energy to fight Rider.

"Is this so? It's so cunning, Jin Shanshan." Rider said, "but I agreed."
