Chapter 558: Land Flower, a Rare Tree-Human Symbiotic System!
An hour and a half passed, and when ten o'clock arrived on time, a group of five people arrived at the border of the depression. Google search reading
Considering that there is no need for a direct confrontation with the tree man, only simple communication is required.
Therefore, the people Somo brought this time were basically villagers with quick thinking.
"Sun Di, do you remember the techniques for communicating with them later?"
Hidden in the advancing crowd, Sumo pulled up the brim of his hat and whispered when he saw the tree men who had been waiting for a long time in the distance.
"Director, don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"
Sun Di, an executive who performed quite well in the previous interview in Liberty City.
Considering that he is a steady person, good at telling lies with open eyes, and has good communication skills, Sumo selected him as the captain of the entire diplomatic corps this time.
Somo himself became a role similar to an assistant, responsible for supplementing communication.
A moment later, the two teams met at the border. After looking up at the face of the tree man on the other side, Somo was happy.
This time, the person sent by the tree people to pick up and drop off was none other than the tree people elder who had visited before.
Wish Chuan!
"Oh, my friends in heaven are so enthusiastic. They are here right now. Why are they bringing gifts?"
"I'm really sorry!"
At first, what I saw coming was not the powerful humans in Heaven, but the "scavengers" who had led the way before.
There was still a hint of displeasure and contempt on Zhu Chuan's face.
But the next second, after seeing the "fairy fruit" in Sun Di's hand, his old face instantly looked like a blooming daisy, wrinkled on the tree trunk.
"Where is it? What do we call it? Reciprocity!"
Walking forward cordially, Sun Di stretched out his hand and shook hands with each other cordially.
Then, after shaking hands, Sun Di said again:
"Elder Zhuchuan, I'm really sorry. The territory has just developed. In addition, we have recently been dealing with the Demon Soul Clan and the Bright Empire."
"There are a lot of busy places, so for the time being, we scavengers have also joined the Heavenly Court."
"I am Sun Di, the captain of the visiting delegation this time. Thank you for your reception!"
Wow!
Pricking up his ears, Zhu Chuan was shocked at first when he heard the meaning behind Sun Di's words, and then quickly pretended to be nonchalant.
According to the information intercepted by the ancient tree people spies, there was indeed a war on the Demon Soul Tribe side recently, and the scale was not small.
Even hundreds of miles away, you can see a flash of fiery red in the sky, obviously something 'real' has happened!
But about the reasons for the war and which parties participated in the fighting.
To this day, there is still no definite news from the tree people, so we can only rely on guessing!
but now
"Is it possible that the participants in this war are the Demon Soul Clan, the Empire of Light, and Heaven?"
"Good guy, what are they doing for this? They can actually produce real fire. This is great news!"
Thinking in his mind, Zhu Chuan was not slow in his hands. He quietly took the fairy fruit, threw it into the mouth of his tree and started chewing it without missing a beat.
Just like the perfect experience last time, after a trembling from the soul, he waited until he regained control of his body.
The strength has indeed increased by a full 5% again!
"Elder Zhuchuan, are we leaving now?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
After getting the benefit, Zhu Chuan licked his lips and wanted to go to heaven again like he did last time. He found excuses to get stuck several times.
But when he thought of that terrifying battle, he didn't dare to neglect it at all, and quickly extinguished all thoughts in his heart.
Then, the two tree men accompanying him squatted down to lift up the remaining four people in the visiting team.
Even though Somo didn't say a word the whole time, and didn't even raise his head completely, the scene of going to the tree people's territory still went very smoothly.
boom!
boom!
The tree man looks tall and bulky, and seems to have a huge force that is difficult to resist.
But in fact, when they walked, they were extremely light. Every time they jumped and landed on the ground, their vine feet would only make a slight collision sound.
Looking back, you can even see the traces they left on the ground as they ran.
After meeting the reformers of the Demon Soul Clan and the Bright Empire, Sumo had some understanding of the strength of the tree people.
After observing carefully for a while, he directly came to a conclusion.
"Yes, he controls his body very well. The strength of these tree people is at least around level five!"
The sixth-level tree man Zhu Chuan was sent to take the lead, and two fifth-level tree men were sent to greet them.
This approach cannot be said to be of the highest standard, but it can be regarded as paying enough attention to the depression.
After judging that the current risk to everyone was very small, Sumo slowly relaxed and began to carefully observe the specific situation of the tree people's territory.
Unlike the Demon Soul Clan, where there are deserted plains everywhere, no one can exploit them.
In the tree man's territory, you can feel a fresh air as soon as you enter, mixed with the subtle fragrance of grass.
The first thirty kilometers into the territory were fine, but after thirty kilometers, the ground was filled with thick vines and half-leg-high grass, and it was extremely fertile.
"Good guy, this tree man is really generous. There is fertile black soil everywhere!"
"But that's right. They don't need to grow vegetables and food. They only need to take root in the ground to absorb soil fertility and meet the needs of growing some specific plants."
The black earth, which is extremely rare in other places, can be found almost everywhere in the territory of the tree people.
From the initial shock to the subsequent realization, Sumo had some guesses about these vast tracts of fertile land.
Not surprisingly, the ancient tree people must have some means to influence the land.
One of the most obvious evidences is that the soil fertility is too similar, as if carved from the same mold.
Moreover, relying on his strong memory and observation ability, Sumo also discovered that every one to two kilometers, there would be several duplicate plants taking root on the ground, which was extremely obvious!
This plant is generally around four meters tall.
It has broad leaves and thick rhizomes. Even if it is freezing cold, it still proudly blooms a large blue flower facing the sky.
Because of his status, Sumo couldn't speak easily, but as he slowly pointed at the big flower, Sun Di understood instantly and spoke first when the next one passed by.
"Elder Zhuchuan, this flower is rare. It can bloom so beautifully in winter. What kind of flower is it?"
"You also know that our director likes to play with these flowers and plants. If he sees this, he will definitely be very happy!"
Zhu Chuan was stunned when he heard Sun Di's casual remarks.
However, he didn't think too much about whether Sumo liked these flowers and plants. Instead, he simply said:
"You are talking about these flowers. These flowers are land flowers specially cultivated by our tree people to improve local soil fertility. Like the one you see now. If it blooms, it means it is working. If it does not bloom, It means immature"
"If Lord Soma likes it, it's not that I can't give you the seeds of this flower to cultivate, but this flower is quite special."
Sun Di: "It takes a long time to grow?"
Zhu Chuan nodded: "Yes, it does take a long time to sow the seeds of the land flower. It takes six months for the finished seeds to germinate. Then, after germination, it will be raised one meter every year. It will take three years to grow to three meters before entering. working status to improve the fertility of nearby land.”
"But that's not what's special about it. What's special about it is that before the flower matures, it won't feed back fertility to the land. Instead, it will absorb a lot of it. For example, to cultivate the plant you see now, basically After cultivating it, you have to waste a piece of land, and you have to continuously add fertilizer during this period to keep it growing vigorously.”
"The reason why we have so many tree people is because we brought them from the tribe when we came here. If we really breed by ourselves now, I don't know if we can reach this scale in the year of the monkey."
"But if Lord Soma likes it, if there is a large amount of fairy fruits as trading items, I will go and talk to the clan leader."
Hearing this and looking at Zhu Chuan's expression, Sumo nodded slightly, then calmly held his hand behind his back and shook it slightly.
Sun Di on the other side understood immediately and said quickly: "No, no, no need to bother, Elder Zhu Chuan, our director just likes to breed slowly. If you give him the finished product, you will lose the intention to create something from scratch!" "
Zhu Chuan: "Well, Lord Somo's taste is really elegant, and it is not something that ordinary humans can compare with."
"In this way, seeds are not considered precious items among us tree people. When you finish visiting and leave, I will give you some other varieties. You can help me bring them back to Lord Somo, and say they are from me, Zhu Chuan. You understand my thoughts~"
Sun Di: "I understand, I definitely understand. Don't worry, Elder Zhu Chuan. I will definitely convey your thoughts to the letter!"
Compared to the last time when he was robbed down to his underwear, this time the man from the depression was humble and sensible.
Hearing what Sun Di said, Zhu Chuan shook his branches slightly excitedly, and a sense of happiness emanated from his whole body.
On the other hand, with Zhu Chuan's promise, Sumo didn't ask for any more special plants when he encountered them later.
After all, according to Zhu Chuan, if the seeds are not valuable in the tree people's territory, they can be obtained by other means.
There is absolutely no need to take the risk of exposing yourself by such means.
There was no delay, the journey ahead was much faster, and the tree man moved incredibly fast.
About two hours passed, and when the time came to twelve o'clock, they had reached the outermost edge of the tree people's territory.
But here, Sumo finally saw clearly what the so-called tree people's territory really looked like!
Similar to what I heard in Liberty City before, the tree people did not maintain their previous height of seven to eight meters, or even ten meters, in their living conditions. They took root in the ground wantonly and without any rules.
As beings with complete intelligence, they also have a city similar to Liberty City, but slightly smaller.
And the tree people living inside all maintain a height of about 1.75 meters, and they look very harmonious.
And more than thirty kilometers away from this tree city, there are settlements of various sizes, like villages scattered around the city, forming a defensive formation.
"Hey, don't tree people not need to eat? They only need to take root in the ground and eat leaves to survive?"
"these ingredients"
As Sumo asked curiously, the tree man carrying him didn't block anything, and replied angrily: "These ingredients are prepared for other creatures!"
"Other creatures?"
After being slightly stunned, as the team took a few steps further into the hinterland, the vision suddenly became clear. The tree man did not answer any more, but Somo got his own answer.
"Humans? There are actually humans in your territory?"
This time, the shocking question came not from Sumo's mouth, but from Sun Di who couldn't help but ask.
Obviously, the scene before him had a great impact on him!
No one would have thought that in a foreign territory with towering trees, there would not only be humans, but also small villages exclusively for humans.
They seemed to live in a paradise, surrounded by tall trees and rich flowers and plants, and lived a peaceful life.
Seeing the tree people carrying several people coming, several brave humans even ran out of the village, waving and shouting, obviously living a good life!
"Hehe, friend Sun Di, the last time I visited the Heavenly Palace, I said that our ancient tree people were a race that pursued peace"
"We are predestined with all things, and we are grateful for life"
"Humans are a kind of advanced creatures with wisdom. They have wisdom that we can't reach. These wise men should also be welcomed and protected by us!"
As if he was afraid that everyone would not believe him, Zhu Chuan even waved his hand, causing the humans in the village to cheer.
"We welcome intelligent humans to join the tree people's territory. We provide shelter, and they provide wisdom and methods!"
"For example, our city construction and seed breeding are all their contributions!"
Although he said so, Zhu Chuan did not stop and did not give everyone a chance to get in touch with them.
Obviously, he also knew that once these humans knew that Su Mo's territory was nearby, it would inevitably shake the morale of the army and make these humans have second thoughts.
"We will arrive at the royal city soon. Zhu Ling, the lord of our tree people, is already waiting for you in the palace."
"The next journey will be accompanied by another elder. Please excuse me!"
From a distance, the city of the tree people has been fully included in the sight.
In terms of architectural style, the tree people boldly used vines instead of bricks and stones, and used various thick branches to form a dense city wall, and formed a watchtower on the top of the city wall to walk to and observe the outside world.
At the gate to the city, there were four tree people about six meters tall standing, looking majestic.
"Zhu Chuan, are these the distinguished guests from the Heavenly Court?"
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, three unfriendly tree people came up with frowns as Zhu Chuan shrank his body to become 1.75 meters tall like an ordinary tree person.
"Yes, Lord Su Mo is talking to the Demon Soul Clan and the Bright Empire. In short, you just need to know that these distinguished guests can fully represent Lord Su Mo!"
Halfway through the same words, looking at the surprised expression on the other party's face, Zhu Chuan curled his lips in disdain, then turned around and said with a smile:
"This is Elder Zhu Xia of our tree people. On the next road, they will take you to meet our tree king!"
"Friend Sun Di, I will wait for you here when you leave, so please rest assured that I will abide by our agreement!"
After winking and reminding, Zhu Chuan left with the two tree people.
Zhu Xia, who came to greet them, did not dare to delay and walked up eagerly: "Dear guests, please follow me!"
With the elder leading the way, the guards guarding the city did not dare to stop them. As the group walked through the vine gate and looked at the scene coming out, Su Mo nodded slightly and became excited.
The Demon Soul Clan, they are not lying to me!
As the second most infiltrated race in the New World besides the dwarves, everything in the city is exactly the same as the information sold in the Demon Soul Clan city!
In the city of the tree people, they also do the same economic trade as the Free City, and they obviously know the necessity of exchanging what they have in the middle and late stages.
"Dear guests, what you are seeing now is the interior of our Treeman Tribe's Thousand Trees King City."
"These shops are opened by our ordinary Treeman Tribe for trading and serving other Treemen."
"Of course, in the later stage, when we have more and more allies and caravans are established, there will definitely be more shops to meet the trading needs with other tribes. You can rest assured about this."
"This is the Seed House, this is the Plant Food Hall, and this is the Companion Plant Exchange."
I couldn't understand the words of the Treeman, but Zhu Xia's explanation was timely.
Along with his explanation, not only the other three people in the depression had a shocking feeling of opening their eyes along the way, but even Su Mo had a sense of novelty of entering a botanical garden in another world.
On the street, Treemen hurried in and out.
There are service places that help other Treemen prune branches to make them more beautiful.
There are food places that provide delicious fertilizers, and Treemen sit at the door and eat with relish.
There are even some places that provide "weapons and equipment" similar to parasitic plants that can help Treemen improve their combat effectiveness.
"The palace of our tree people is in front of us!"
The Thousand Trees Royal City is much smaller than the interior of Free City. It takes about four streets and three kilometers to reach the palace.
Although this palace sounds domineering, except that it is surrounded by a wall and no one is allowed to enter, its actual appearance is not much different from the previous building.
"Chief Zhu Ling, the distinguished guest from the Heavenly Palace has been brought here!"
Walking all the way into the palace, when they came to a three-story building that was larger than before, Zhu Xia spoke respectfully.
"Come in!"
