Chapter 248 Symbiotic Banyan Tree
Under Xu Xin's identification ability, the two banyan trees both emitted blue light.
It's blue grade!
And these two banyan trees are both grown in blue-grade soil, and they are the only two blue-grade soils in this lakeside scene. The rest of the soil is all green-grade, and there is no white-grade soil.
The size of these two banyan trees is basically the same as the size of the two-story blue tree house before the number of floors was increased. The canopy is dense and about seven meters above the ground, with many roots.
It's really like a tree house.
Xu Xin immediately walked to a banyan tree and reached out to touch its trunk.
[Banyan tree (blue): A special type of tree that can be cut to obtain wood. Although it looks like a very ordinary banyan tree, as long as there is a tree house within 100 meters around it, it can coexist with the tree house ! 】
It's not a tree house, but the introduction of this banyan tree is not ordinary at all!
Special types of trees, symbiosis with the tree house within 100 meters!
Xu Xin's eyes widened.
The last time I saw the word symbiosis, it was the heart of plants!
Symbiotic, not parasitic! Like a plant heart, it can provide a very strong self-defense ability for the tree house, and the two parties are mutually beneficial!
Unexpectedly, the two banyan trees they suddenly discovered could also coexist with the tree house.
Moreover, Xu Xin is more sensitive to the words "special kinds of trees".
The first time he saw these words was in the introduction of the blue-level iron axe, which said that the blue-level iron ax could cut down some special types of trees.
Then he discovered that the tree house was one of this special kind of tree.
Now, so does this banyan tree. Although it is not a tree house, it belongs to the same species as the tree house, and it also belongs to a special type of tree, which can only be felled with an iron ax above the blue level!
Exactly the same nature as the tree house!
Xu Xin couldn't help guessing, if it was planted next to the tree house, what kind of miraculous effect would this kind of banyan tree, which resembles a tree house, have? Did they find another accessory for the tree house?
Will it bring a powerful ability to the tree house like the plant heart?
Ji Chaoyang also touched the trunk of the banyan tree. After seeing the introduction, his solemn expression softened slightly: "It seems that it is just an ordinary banyan tree, not a tree house."
Ji Chaoyang looked up at the dense banyan tree: "However, I always feel that this banyan tree has a certain relationship with the tree house, maybe we should dig out its seeds."
He wasn't as surprised as Xu Xin. He didn't have the ability to discern. His introduction probably didn't mention the relationship between the banyan tree and the tree house.
However, he still noticed that this kind of banyan tree might be related to the tree house.
"It is indeed related to the tree house." Xu Xin looked at the banyan tree.
"...Oh, what does your discerning ability have to do with the detailed introduction?" Ji Zhaoyang was slightly taken aback by Xu Xin's affirmative tone, but then he immediately understood.
"I can get a more detailed introduction. The introduction tells me that if this kind of tree grows within 100 meters of the tree house, it can coexist with the tree house." Xu Xin replied.
The canopy of this banyan tree is very dense, but he can still see the interior from the small gap in the canopy.
The crown of the tree does not exist in the room of the tree house, but the branches of the tree grow, which looks like an ordinary lush banyan tree.
"Symbiosis? A range of 100 meters?" Ji Zhaoyang turned to look at him. He also associated these two words with the heart of plants. "How to co-exist and what new functions can the tree house obtain? Can you know this?"
"I don't know." Xu Xin shook his head, "It's just that it can coexist with the tree house. However, it can be speculated."
The scene of planting this kind of banyan tree next to the tree house appeared in Xu Xin's mind.
If two banyan trees with dense crowns are connected together...
Ji Zhaoyang was silent for a few seconds and said, "Expand the area inside the tree house?"
Xu Xin nodded slowly: "...It's really possible."
Both thought it was possible.
The crowns of their banyan trees have never grown horizontally. Not once.
Normally, banyan trees can grow to cover a large area.
But since they planted the tree house, the projected area of the canopy of the tree house has never changed, but the number of floors has been increased once.
The green-level small tree house has always been about 25 square meters, the blue-level tree house is 50 square meters, and the purple-level tree house of him and Ji Chaoyang is 100 square meters. Even if the tree house is upgraded, it only enhances the protected area, that is, enhances The roots have been removed, but the size of the canopy and the area inside the tree house have never changed.
So for most people, the space inside the tree house is not enough, especially the planting house. If you want to plant in the tree house, the area is too small, and the single-story tree house is too short to plant with hands and feet, so you can only plant part of it outside the tree house.
Now that the weather is getting colder, only a small area outside the tree house can be planted. Moreover, winter is coming soon. After the snow and ice come, it may not even be possible to plant outside the tree house. In this way, indoor planting is particularly important.
It would be great if this kind of banyan tree can really expand the indoor area of the tree house.
"How about one tree for each person?" Xu Xin pointed to the two banyan trees.
Naturally, such a large banyan tree cannot be transplanted. Even if it can fit into a backpack, it only weighs one-tenth of the weight, and they can't move it.
They can only cut down and then dig out the seeds. Two banyan trees have two seeds, exactly one for each person.
"I have no objection." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "Let's look at other resources first, this kind of thing will be done last, this place is very strange, the action is too big, and there may be special circumstances."
What Ji Zhaoyang said was right, and Xu Xin thought so too.
He glanced at the fragment of the orb placed in the crevice of the stone wall. Everything here may be thanks to that thing.
That thing seems to be taken away, but let's talk about it at the end, moving that thing is the most likely situation.
Xu Xin looked down at the colorful flowers on the ground, squatted down, and picked one gently.
[Colorful Flower (Green): A beautiful flower that can be planted in a tree house to improve the decoration of the tree house. The flowering period lasts for seven days and withers after seven days. When the flowers are picked when they are mature, the increase in decoration will be halved, but the blooming posture can be maintained permanently. 】
"Hey, this is a good thing!" Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
For him, who has a large demand for decoration, anything that can increase decoration is a good thing, and his art room and alchemy room are still waiting for food.
He glanced at the whole field of colorful flowers by the lake.
"Well, pick them all and dig them away." Xu Xin rubbed her chin and said to herself.
Although this kind of flower may have a limited upper limit for the decoration of each tree house, and he can also create decorations himself, but it is a little bit more.
The more the better!
Also, this flower gives them the possibility to provide decorations to other survivors.
Their art room needs to be carved and created by themselves. Although the upper limit of decoration can be greatly increased, the current speed cannot be mass-produced at all, and even other explorers are not blessed to enjoy it, let alone other survivors.
But there is no problem with this kind of flowers that rely on planting. After all, it will not consume their energy, just plant them in the planting house and let them grow.
"I'm here to remind me that this kind of flower can also be used to make paint, so that each oil painting can be more decorative." Ji Chaoyang also squatted down to pick a flower, and said in surprise.
One of Ji Zhaoyang's [artist] abilities, oil painting, requires paint, and he has told Xu Xin before.
"Then this thing is also a good thing, take it with you when you leave."
Xu Xin has already decided to dig the ground, take away all the flowers and trees here!
They are really good things.
He even reached out to pull out some grass, but unfortunately these grasses were not resources.
However, the best thing is that orb fragment!
Xu Xin looked at the fragment of the orb emitting a soft white light, and narrowed her eyes.
"Hey." Ke Ke stood beside Xu Xin's legs, pawed his legs with two small paws, and then pointed in the direction of the waterfall.
"What's the matter, Keke?" Xu Xin came back to his senses, looked in the direction Keke pointed, and asked with some doubts, "Is there something wrong with that small waterfall?"
The waterfall gushed water from an almost horizontal crack in the wall, forming a not-so-large white water curtain.
Accompanied by the sound of splashing into the water, the fishes constantly swimming in the lake, and the soft white light reflected by the slightly moving water surface, the whole lake is like a fairy lake in a fairyland of Taoyuan, which makes people feel extremely comfortable. .
Xu Xin even thought "it would be great if I could live here".
"Hey!" Ke Ke waved his little paw and gestured to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin understood what Ke Ke meant, her expression froze, and she turned her head to look at the small waterfall carefully.
"...You mean, behind the waterfall, there is still a hidden space?"
"Oh!" Coco nodded her head.
Because of the irregular falling of the water, the whole waterfall appears white, completely blocking the view, and the scene behind the water curtain cannot be seen. In addition, this small waterfall is not too big, so Xu Xin didn't think about it.
Unexpectedly, this is actually a water curtain hole?
Could there be some treasure in the cave?
However, the area in front of it is completely occupied by this lake. If you want to go there, you can only swim in the water.
"The space behind the waterfall? The Water Curtain Cave?" Ji Zhaoyang also looked at the waterfall, his eyes widened, a little surprised, "This is the back of the giant's head, right?"
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded.
In the space behind the waterfall, there is likely to be a secret about this giant head hidden.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Go check it out. Both of them mean it.
They both jumped into the lake and swam over there.
"Hey!" Ke Ke jumped directly on Silver King's head.
"Oh?"
"Beep!"
"Aw!"
After the two beasts communicated, Silver King also jumped into the lake and swam towards the small waterfall.
Because the Silver King sticks his head out of the water when he swims, Coco lay on his head without getting wet.
At this time, Xu Xin had already swam to the bottom of the lake.
The bottom of this lake is almost ten meters deep, which is already very deep for ordinary people, but Xu Xin, who is wearing a scale armor and has many diving experiences, can already dive to the bottom of the lake with ease.
The reason why he dived down was because he discovered that besides many fish swimming in this lake, there are actually many crystals at the bottom of the lake!
There are crystals of various colors such as red crystal and amethyst. As soon as he got off the lake, he was surprised by the colorful stones at the bottom of the lake.
The most important thing is that a small part of these stones exudes a blue-grade light, and one even exudes a purple light!
Amethyst crystal!
Purple-level things, let's put them away first!
He immediately went down to the bottom of the lake, went straight to the amethyst crystal, and fished it up. By the way, he also put some blue crystals around him into his backpack, and then resurfaced, and got out from the water surface.
Ji Chaoyang was gone, he should have entered the waterfall.
Xu Xin also reached out to the waterfall.
