Chapter 858: The Way of Nature (Twelve)
He did not say that this is parasitic, or whether it is a state between symbiosis and planting and breeding, just like the relationship between elves and forests.
After killing the advanced monster poisonous water spider king, Leo's escape technique concealed most elves and tree people. I just thought that the improved Taoist technique from the earth's China is very powerful, but now, I have understood that the essence of escape technique is to adjust the body and ether particles to the same state. From a perception point of view, it is no different from the ether particles flowing everywhere. Of course, the subtle difference can only be detected by people with strong strength and equally strong mind power.
Therefore, at that time, we observed the general living environment of the elves without any danger and also had a preliminary understanding of tree people.
I also said when talking to Dambro before that I thought that tree people only coexist with elves. For example, when we druids summon or magicians summon wood element creatures, we often only get responses from wild trees, mainly from wood element planes. In fact, this is also a misunderstanding of my understanding.
Treemen should be classified as species between monsters, elements and creatures. The type that is "tamed" by elves gives people the feeling of being dull, but they also have a certain consciousness. Therefore, they are good shields when fighting against foreign countries. Treemen summoned by other races across planes are like elemental creatures. They use their strength to determine the degree of wisdom. The easier it is to be summoned, the stupider they are.
When you reach the level of the Tree Man Elder, you are almost the same as a high-level monster. You can also participate in political affairs or management on the elves.
In the Caspar Forest in the Wood Elemental Plane, the Tree Man Elder became the same as the leader of the indigenous people.
And these Casper giant trees are not only their buildings, but also their "crop"...
"It's interesting to say that a group of trees have become spirits and planted a big tree," Leo did not forget to complain, "It's like a group of monkeys less than one meter tall, raising a gorilla bigger than a whale as a mount... It's not right. This feeling is too difficult to describe, and it's weird to say it!"
I didn't choose the escape technique, but walked in directly. At the beginning, I met some tree people like those we had summoned before. These little guys who had not even opened their wisdom were basically ignored by me.
The tree man is slow to move, and the druid aura I deliberately released is a small amount of wood energy mixed with the fluctuations of the earth-based wind-based thunder system, so the tree man's affinity for me has increased a lot.
When I walked to the center, I saw the giant tree standing out from afar, a tree man stopped me.
The height of the giant tree is visually estimated to be more than 30 kilometers.
This is ten times the first giant tree we meet.
The tree man is also very tall, about ten meters long, and his energy fluctuations are as high as intermediate monsters. However, just looking at this physique, even if he can't beat the advanced monsters, he can hold on for a while.
"Friends from the forest, please don't get close anymore!" The tree man said politely, saying in a muffled voice.
I looked up at the guy who was several times taller than me, like a small building.
At this moment, we were standing under a giant tree that was far from the core, but there were also a giant tree that was nearly ten tall, just like a small stone at the foot of a wood bud like a tree... The height difference between two meters and ten meters was already at a negligible level in front of such a height.
"I want to see your elders." I said.
"You are not qualified enough," said the Shuren. "Only those who gain the favor of nature and master the mystery of the druid can go from friends in the forest to friends in the treeman and be received by the elders."
"Well, the standard reputation type Enpisi," said Leo, "just ask the conditions, you don't have to close to the favorability or something."
"And!" I was about to ask, and Shuren added, "This person, a friend who does not belong to the forest, must leave!"
Ricardo looked at me and then at the tree man, obviously a little at a loss.
He was not angry or worried, but didn't know how to react at this time.
I patted his shoulder and its body fled into the ground.
The tree man didn't ask what was going on. He seemed to treat Ricardo as a summoner. He spoke without waiting for me to ask: "You have to master seven or more transfiguration techniques, and then compete with me for control of natural energy! If you can't do it, you can leave as soon as possible!"
Leo said: "This task design is a bit lazy, how can you put the conditions directly like this?"
It's right to complain, but I like this direct way very much. Compared to Dambro's unyielding and hesitant, and his stubborn attitude, the attitude of cultivating people is actually very close to my appetite.
I said, "No problem."
As I said that, I completed seven transformations as fast as possible.
The tree man couldn't tell whether he was surprised or satisfied, and shook his green head and said, "The first item passed."
As he said that, he stretched out an "arm" full of green leaves and new buds, almost five meters long, and said, "The next item is the second item. I will divide each fork into two forks. If you can divide them into three forks, you will win."
This is interesting. On the surface, it is a test of the visitor's control over lignin, which is a test of strength, but there is another idea, that is, it affects the cell division of the plant itself, and can even create a little wound appropriately. Out of self-healing instinct, branches will grow independently, which tests the understanding of plants and the skills of using energy.
For druids with different emphasis, we naturally have to choose carefully, but I have the protagonist's halo, that is, the ones with a hanging, so soon the tree man's arms turned into a bunch of branches covered with three forked branches.
The tree man finally showed a richer emotion and quickly said to me: "Okay, okay, stop, you can see the elder."
I was satisfied with letting go of the ether particles that I had almost controlled, that is, the wood-type elements. The tree man immediately took a step towards the core giant tree.
"Boom!" The tree man took nearly half of his height at one time, which was almost impossible for ordinary people.
But...
Ten seconds later, it took the second step.
"Uh...hahaha!" Leo laughed, "It turns out that it wasn't a test of you just now, but now you should wait!"
"Well, I said, I'd better go in by myself!" I called out to the tree man.
"No, I want to report to the elder in person!" The shrew was very determined, "Please wait, my friend of the shrew!"
The core giant tree is thirty kilometers high. It is about four times the highest mountain on the earth. The flight altitude of ordinary aircraft is basically below ten kilometers. Only aircraft used for war can reach the height of the core giant tree. Leo is not a very professional military fan, so these numbers are roughly.
Of course, satellites made by humans can reach at least 100 kilometers, which is three or four times taller than the core giant tree. Such a big tree has a diameter of seven or eight kilometers, which is not slender, but it is also spectacular.
Of course, the place where I was stopped was at least 300 kilometers away from the core giant tree.
At the speed of tree people, I may wait for a few months... For tree people, this is actually their daily life.
In addition to this tree man, there are also many tree man next to him, but they all have the shape of "I am a big tree, not a tree man", and Ignore my intentions at all.
"Haha, at this time, of course, it's a breaking of the rules," said Leo. "It's also the plot's rules to break the rules."
I had passed the stage of discussing and debating with him whether the plot was reasonable, so I ran out directly.
Now my speed is only half an hour after a few hundred kilometers.
I stepped forward and the remaining tree people came alive.
In less than a blink of an eye, I exceeded the distance of a few dozen meters from the news tree.
"Hey!" the tree man shouted.
"Anyway, I've passed your test," I said, "then go find your elders by yourself!"
Before I could finish my words, I had already run a few hundred meters.
"Jijiji!" Tyrannosaurus Rex also came to join in the fun, "The stupid big guy can't catch up with us!"
"The show has just begun!" Leo said.
I said, "Just take care of Ricardo."
Leoman didn't care: "The underground is almost full of tree roots, so there is no need to switch back and forth between wood escape and earth escape. It's very convenient, but you..."
Before he could finish his words, the ground changed drastically.
The core area of the Caspar Forest is not like the forest on the main plane. Every inch of land is occupied by plants and organisms. In fact, the giant tree itself is a relatively complete ecological cycle, and the giant tree is relatively empty. Of course, this emptiness is not a dead silence, but an empty space under a large size.
Just like before, there were grasslands, shrubs and moss wetlands between the two giant trees, as well as ordinary woods with a height of no more than one hundred meters, and mushroom forests with a height of more than ten meters. Standing at the height of giant trees and giant trees, it was like an open space without ups and downs.
But now, this wide ground with a straight line of hundreds of kilometers is moving!
With my foothold as the center, the ground began to appear like the sea, with waves rising!
To be precise, the earth, which was originally as calm as a lake, instantly set off a huge wave like a tsunami.
This is the root system of the giant tree.
As Leo said, the ground is filled with the roots of giant trees, and all the plants growing on it are not actually relying on nutrients provided by the soil, which can explain why there are such tall mushrooms and ordinary-sized forests.
At this moment, Ricardo followed my steps with the blessing of Leo's escape technique.
