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.
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 several tree men in the distance who had been waiting for a long time.
"Director, don't worry, nothing will go wrong!"
Sun Di, an executive who performed fairly well in Liberty City interviews before.
Considering that he is a steady person, good at telling lies, 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.
After a while, 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 him up was none other than the tree people elders he had visited before.
Wish Chuan!
"Oh, my friends in heaven are so enthusiastic. They come here right now, why do they bring 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, when he saw the "fairy fruit" in Sun Di's hand, his old face instantly looked like a blooming daisy, wrinkled into a ball on the tree trunk.
"Where is it? What do we call this? 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 Zhu Chuan, I'm really sorry. The territory has just developed, and the recent relationship with the Demon Soul Clan and the Bright Empire... Uh."
"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!
He pricked up his ears, and when he heard the meaning behind Sun Di's words, Zhu Chuan was first shocked, and then quickly pretended to be nonchalant.
According to the information intercepted by ancient tree 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 still produce real fire. This is huge news!"
Thinking in his mind, Zhu Chuan was not slow in taking the fairy fruit. He 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 did not dare to neglect it at all and quickly extinguished all thoughts in his heart.
Then, the two tree men who were traveling with 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 smoothly.
boom!
boom!
The tree man looks tall and bulky, and seems to have a huge force that is hard 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 that the traces they left on the ground as they ran were almost undetectable.
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, they control their bodies very well. The strength of these tree men 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 lowlands.
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.
It is different from the Demon Soul Clan, which has desolate plains everywhere and 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 very generous. There is fertile black soil everywhere!"
"But that's right, they don't need to grow vegetables and food, they just 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, is 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 definitely had some means of influencing the land.
One of the most obvious evidences is that the soil fertility is too similar, as if it were 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 kind of plant is generally about 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 the fertility of local land. For example, 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 rather special."
Sun Di: "It takes a long time to grow?"
Zhu Chuan nodded: "Yes, the sowing time of soil flower seeds is indeed not short. It takes six months for the finished seeds to germinate. Then, after germination, they 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 him. What's special about him 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, cultivating 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 how we can reach this scale in the year of the monkey."
"But if Lord Soma likes it, if there are 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 instantly and said quickly: "No, no, Elder Zhu Chuan, don't bother. What our director likes is breeding slowly. If you give him the finished product, you will lose the intention to create something from scratch!"
"
Zhu Chuan: "Well, Lord Soma'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 Soma, 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 I was robbed down to my underwear, this time the person coming 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 did not make any further requests for other special plants later.
After all, according to what Zhu Chuan said, 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 rest of the journey went much faster, and the tree man moved at an astonishing speed.
About two hours passed, and when the time came to twelve o'clock, we had reached the outermost edge of the tree people's territory.
But here, Sumo could truly see clearly what the so-called tree people's territory really looked like!
As with the news I heard in Liberty City before, the tree people did not maintain the height of seven or eight meters, or even more than 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 did not block anything, and replied angrily: "These ingredients are prepared for other creatures!"
"Other creatures?"
After being stunned for a moment, 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 even small villages exclusively composed of humans.
They seem to be living in a paradise, surrounded by tall trees and rich flowers and plants, and live a life without competing with the world.
Seeing the tree people carrying several people coming, a few bold humans even ran out of the village entrance, waving and shouting, obviously living a good life!
"Hey, friend Sun Di, when I visited Heaven last time, I said that our ancient tree people are a race that pursues peace."
"We are connected to all things, and we are grateful for life."
"Human beings are advanced creatures with intelligence. They possess wisdom that is beyond our 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, causing the humans in the village to cheer.
"We welcome intelligent humans to join the tree people territory, we will provide them with shelter, and they will provide wisdom and methods!"
"The construction of our city and the re-breeding of seeds are all due to their contributions!"
Although he said this, Zhu Chuan's footsteps did not stop, and he did not give everyone a chance to go down and interact with him.
Obviously, he also knew that once these humans knew that Soma'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 immediately. Zhu Ling, the lord of our Shuren tribe, is already waiting for you in the palace."
"I will be accompanied by another elder on the next journey. I apologize for my excuses!"
In the distance, all the trees' cities were within 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 above the city wall for walking and observing the outside world.
At the city gate entering the city, there are four tree men about six meters tall standing, looking very majestic.
"Zhu Chuan, are these distinguished guests from heaven?"
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, as Zhu Chuan shrank his figure and became about 1.75 meters tall like an ordinary tree man, three tree men with unpleasant expressions came up to him with frowns.
"Yes, Lord Soma is having a meeting with the Demon Soul Clan and the Empire of Light. Well, in short, you just need to know that these distinguished guests can completely represent Lord Soma!"
After saying the same thing, Zhu Chuan curled his lips disdainfully when he saw the shocked expression on the other person's face, then turned around and said with a smile:
"This is Elder Zhu Xia of our tree people tribe. They will take you to meet our king of tree people on the next journey!"
"Friend Sun Di, I will still be waiting for you here when you leave, so please rest assured that our agreement will be abided by!"
After giving a wink and a reminder, Zhu Chuan left with the two tree men in a swagger.
Zhu Xia, who came to greet us, did not dare to delay and walked up eagerly: "Distinguished guests, please follow me!"
With the elders leading the way, the guards guarding the city did not dare to stop them. As the group walked through the vine city gate and looked at the scene emerging from inside, Somo nodded slightly and became excited.
Demon Soul Tribe, please don’t deceive me!
As the second most infiltrated race in the New World after the dwarves, everything in the city is exactly the same as the information sold in the Demon Soul Clan city!
In the city of tree people, they are also doing the same economic and trade as the free city, obviously they understand the necessity of mutual exchange in the mid-to-late stage.
"Distinguished guests, what you see now is the interior of Thousand Trees King City of our Shuren tribe."
"These shops are places opened by ordinary tree people for us to trade and serve other tree people."
"Of course, in the later stage, when we have more and more allies and the caravan is established, there will definitely be more shops to meet the transactions with other tribes. You can rest assured about this."
"This is a seed house, this is a plant food museum, this is a companion plant exchange"
I couldn't understand Shuren's words, but Zhu Xia's explanation was timely.
Along with his explanation, not only did the other three people in the depression have an eye-opening and shocking feeling along the way, but even Somo felt as if he had entered a botanical garden in another world.
On the street, people were rushing in and out.
There is a service place to help other tree people prune their branches to make them more beautiful.
There is an eating place that provides delicious fertilizer, and the tree people sit at the door and eat to their heart's content.
There are even some "weapons and equipment" places that provide similar parasitic plants that can help tree people improve their combat effectiveness.
"Ahead is the royal palace of our tree tribe!"
The Thousand Trees King's City is much smaller than the interior of Liberty City. It takes about four streets and about three kilometers to reach the royal palace.
And although this palace sounds domineering, except for the fact that it is wrapped with a wall to prevent idlers from entering, its real appearance is not much different from the previous building.
"Chief Zhuling, the distinguished guests from heaven have been brought!"
Walking straight into the palace, when he came to a three-story building that was larger than before, Zhu Xia spoke respectfully.
"come in!"
This chapter has been completed!
