Chapter 3725 Treasure Stealing
Regarding the catastrophe that nearly wiped out all living things in the Zephyr Continent, I also asked Treehouse for advice.
And it’s the oldest treehouse.
The elder of the treehouse, who was older than the time when the goblins ruled, told me that he didn’t know either.
He only remembered that at that time, when his mind had just been enlightened, he was pinned down by the thousand-strong elder of the Tree House Clan before he could even poke his head out (break out of the ground).
At first he was confused and didn't know what the great elder meant by this move.
Later, after he regained his composure, he suddenly realized that this could not be the so-called suppression of seedlings to encourage growth, right? !
The pronunciation of "pressing seedlings to encourage growth" in the tree house is similar to "pulling seedlings to encourage growth" in "Blue Planet", but the meanings are different.
Blue Planet's idea is to raise the rice seedlings higher in order to help them grow through physical means.
Zefeng Continent's suppression of seedlings is due to the fact that the elders love the younger ones too much and hope to take care of the younger ones for a longer time so that the seedlings in the tree house can absorb more nutrients and grow stronger after they break out of the ground.
Suppressing the growth of seedlings may seem like a good thing, but it greatly deprives the seedlings of their knowledge of the outside world, and may even cause the seedlings to suffer from depression.
Yes, you heard it right, saplings can also suffer from depression. After all, they have minds.
The situation of saplings suffering from depression may be even more miserable than that of humans in Zephyr Continent.
Because the saplings will stop eating or drinking due to depression. Over time, the leaves will turn yellow, the branches will wither, and the saplings will burp and catch cold.
Of course, if you can survive this hurdle and grow into a strong tree, then everything will be fine.
Even if you suffer from depression, you can still absorb water and nutrients unconsciously.
Back to business.
When the tree house seedlings absorbed enough nutrients and broke out of the ground, what he saw was a scene that horrified him - countless tree houses that blocked the sky and sun were dead, leaving only their heavy trunks.
Among them, the elder of the tree house who held the young Miao Miao down was also included.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Miaomiao immediately cried sadly and also suffered from depression.
Fortunately, he absorbed enough nutrients and grew quickly. He soon grew into a strong sapling, and he was finally saved from disaster.
There is a reason why he is sad, because he is the seed of the former tree house elder. In other words, he is the child of the former tree house elder. How can he not feel sad when he sees his elder die inexplicably?
In order to find out the truth, the Great Elder of Treehouse spent thousands of years searching for the traces that almost led to Treehouse's death, but they were nowhere to be found.
However, it was not that nothing was found. At least the elder of Shufang was sure of one thing, that is, all the creatures exposed on the surface of the earth when the disaster came were dead.
Not a single one is left.
During the time I spent with Iqi, I found that she is a very self-disciplined girl.
Get up on time every day, eat on time, teach basic common sense knowledge to the flowers and plants endowed with sanity on time, and finally go to bed on time.
It's as regular as an alarm clock.
But in fact, there was no alarm clock or other reminder around her.
So that means she relies on her biological clock?
Just kidding.
Self-disciplined girls are very attractive, but being too self-disciplined can be a bit scary.
It always feels like living with a machine that has already entered the program and followed the program to execute the instructions meticulously.
It's a bit awkward to be honest.
Still a bit cold.
If Iqi hadn't smiled at me from time to time, I would have even doubted that she was a dummy, right?
The war continues. Every few days, adventurers will be killed, and every few days, new adventurers will be sent to the battlefield.
The battlefield is like a meat grinder, grinding the adventurer into a corpse. If it is not done properly, it will turn into a mutilated corpse, or even no bones left.
This is not a joke, it is a fact.
The tragic battlefield was full of broken limbs. The corpse thieves I sent to work for Held had gradually adapted to the cruelty of the battlefield and were actively responsible for the finishing work of the battlefield.
However, from their slightly frightened expressions, I can confirm that they have some psychological shadows about war.
Probably when encountering trouble in the future, they will not just think about winning through fighting or conspiracy. After all, the Demon Realm is different from the Zephyr Continent. People here have really bad tempers. Once they are unhappy, they will really draw their swords. Facing each other.
The previous batches of corpse thieves who were sent had already graduated under Held's training and were sent to remote towns to serve as their city lords or some local officials.
I have to say that the people from the Hefeng Continent are of high quality, at least much higher than the quality of some local officials in the Demon Realm.
After taking over, he not only managed the local governance in an orderly manner in a short period of time, but also beat many aggressive adventurers and small organizations into submission.
After all, he was once a strong man at the backbone level of the Zephyr Continent. Although he could not stand out among the many adventurer organizations in the Zephyr Continent, once he arrived in the demon world, he felt like letting the tiger return to the mountain and sending the dragon into the water.
The corpse thieves are in full swing here in the Demon World, and there are still many corpse thieves in the Zephyr Continent who are still in dire straits - after all, it is a prison, and it is impossible to enjoy the hot food.
But not all body snatchers' lives are equally bad.
Hathaway is the girl who belongs to a family of archaeologists. There was a corpse thief in her family, and this corpse thief was also arrested. He lived a pretty good life in prison.
The reason why I mention her is because I have already sent away all the body snatchers in Fort Vicky, so I can only choose corpse thieves from other towns and send them away.
York Hancheng, with whom I have a good relationship, is my next choice.
The attitude of York and Seoul towards corpse thieves is somewhat similar to that of Wychburg, but there is a big difference because York and Seoul are more strict.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the prisons of York and Hancheng, the most number of corpse snatchers, rapists, and human traffickers died.
These three types of people basically have no human rights at all, and some jailors will even take advantage of them if they are unhappy.
The fun here is not just teasing and teasing, but the real fun of venting one's emotions.
That is, all kinds of beatings.
A small amount of beatings for three days, a large amount of beatings for five days, plus mediocre food, these three types of prisoners will probably not survive.
This is because Hathaway's family has a high status in York and Seoul and has a special status. This is why the body thief in her family did not experience severe beatings in prison.
Speaking of which, this body thief is Hathaway's cousin. He had a good relationship with Hathaway when he was a child and would often tell her stories about adventures and treasure thefts.
As a child, Hathaway even regarded her cousin as her idol and yearned to become a female adventurer.
It's just that Hathaway didn't follow her wish and trick, but instead embarked on the family's old path.
His cousin was very honest. He fulfilled his dream and even stole treasures. Then he was caught and sent to prison because his skills were inferior to others.
