Chapter 377: Wood that Restrains Wood
"Captain, what should we do if we capture a few prisoners?" After all, there were some people who didn't have time to escape and survived.
Horn thought for a moment and then said: "Pry open their mouths as quickly as possible and get all the information." The guards immediately took away several prisoners and also brought the antidote to the paralysis potion. .
Horn himself pulled out a few spears from the city wall and quickly returned to the city. When Chi Nan just returned to his residence, Horn arrived at the place right behind him.
"Sir, this is their spear." Horn respectfully placed the spear in front of Chi Nan.
Chi Nan reached out and stroked the spear. "There are also active ones. It seems that they have just been obtained. Let me see what they are." Light burst out from Chi Nan's hand, and some branches and leaves suddenly sprouted from a spear. At the same time, Chi Nan closed his eyes and felt it silently.
While feeling it, Chi Nan slowly saw a bud sprouting slowly and then starting to grow. There were many other plants around it. Plants of the same type are all gathered together in the same small space.
As the buds slowly grew, a very strange plant that looked like a sharp arrow was born. In the process of growing, this sharp arrow-like plant competes with other plants and constantly competes for it. Then it uses its sharp body to cut other surrounding plants, and is also cut by similar plants.
In the end, this one plant won, killing all the other competitors and surviving on its own. The blurry picture stopped abruptly at this point, and Chi Nan also opened his eyes and started thinking.
"I see, is the growing environment so harsh? Because of the high environmental requirements, even on a vast land, there are only a small area where it can grow. If you want to grow on this small piece of land, you have to It’s such a cruel plant to compete with other plants and its own species.”
Chi Nan has somewhat understood the characteristics of this plant. "It seems like we need to test it out."
Chi Nan waved his hand and thrust the spear into the ground, and a small hole suddenly appeared on the ground. But Chi Nan frowned, because this was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
Suddenly, Chi Nan's eyes lit up: "That should be it." Chi Nan quickly produced different pieces of wood, and then continued to pierce these pieces of wood with a spear. As expected, it was like piercing a piece of tissue paper.
"I see, I didn't expect there to be such a plant that specifically restrains plants."
Chi Nan kept experimenting and finally came to a conclusion. The hardness of this plant is actually similar to other bronze-level plants, and it is considered above-average among bronze-level plants, one level higher than its own hardwood.
However, the hardwood wall is so thick that it is impossible for such hardness to show such a phenomenon. The real reason is that this kind of wood has a strong ability to restrain plants. "Maybe it has something to do with their original living environment."
Because it has always been competing with plants, this kind of wood has a very strong ability to restrain plants and various types of wood. All abilities are developed in this direction. According to Chi Nan's calculations, even if this kind of wood confronts silver-level wood, it may not lose. This is the ability to unilaterally restrain it.
"This kind of wood is too strong to restrain my plant weapons. I can't let them exist. No, wait, I seem to have thought something wrong. No matter how strong the restraint ability is, it is still wood."
The more Chi Nan thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. "That's right, this kind of wood is harder than hardwood and can completely replace the role of hardwood. Even if the same wood is used, it will only restrain each other and the defense effect will be better. For other weapons, the hardness is also higher, at most It’s just more expensive.”
"And I'm almost on the edge of the silver level. As long as we reach the silver level, even if we plant such bronze-level plants on a large scale, the consumption shouldn't be too great."
Now that the decision has been made, Chi Nan will not give up. With a thought in his heart, the spear in his hand began to sprout and grow, and finally some tiny seeds appeared in Chi Nan's hand, which was collected by Chi Nan.
"Sir, it has been clearly investigated. This plant is called diamond wood locally and is a very precious raw material for weapons." Horn has received information from other guards.
"Is it diamond wood? The name is really appropriate. The hardness of this wood itself is almost the same as steel. Don't worry about them. Diamond wood is a precious material for others, but for me, it can be made easily."
Chi Nan is already preparing to improve it for large-scale planting. With this thing, the weapons of ordinary soldiers can even be made of diamond wood in the future. Compared with its own red sand steel, diamond wood is a cheaper material. Now, it was finally possible to separate the weapons used by the regular army and the militia.
Suddenly, Chi Nan thought that his city walls were now reinforced with hardwood, and he did not yet have the ability to produce diamond wood on a large scale. Even if he could plant it, it would take too much time.
Thinking of this, Chi Nan quickly said: "Send some people to secretly investigate the areas where the diamond trees grow. Once found, give money to destroy them all." This is preparing for the Crazy Bear Fortress.
"My lord," Horn immediately ordered his men.
Chi Nan said again: "There is basically nothing for me to do here. Next, I will go to the half-elf tribe and try to bring them back to become our own people. During this time, you help me cover up and don't let outsiders know that I am not here." Anyway, the two sides will have to argue for a while, and Chi Nan is not worried about any accidents.
"But sir, it's too dangerous for you to go alone." Horn quickly objected.
Chi Nan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not a person without fighting ability, and the half-elves won't hurt me."
"Let's go too. I have never seen half-elves from other tribes." Milia looked excited.
Chi Nan's face turned serious: "No, you have to stay."
"Why, do we want to go and take a look too, Chief, just let us go."
"It's no use to act like a spoiled child. Only you and Moyulu can control these plant weapons. If you two leave, who will defend the city? Not to mention Moyulu alone, he doesn't have enough magic power, so you two have to stay, no discussion."
Millia pouted and glared at Chi Nan fiercely, muttering something, but it didn't work at all.
