Hu Ding looked at the Sand Bandit in his team and really didn't know what to say. He never thought that the people in Wolf Army Village would be so enthusiastic and even sent people to follow them to send them off.
Go find Zhao Hai.
But Hu Ding also had to admit that having someone familiar with the terrain following him really left them with a lot of energy. The supplies they had along the way were already there and they didn't have to worry about it themselves.
The people from the Wolf Army Village did not always send Hu Ding and his friends away. The people from the Wolf Army Army sent them to the second mountain stronghold and then went back. However, they told the second mountain stronghold who Hu Ding and his friends were.
They got the best hospitality ever.
It was also the first time for Hu Ding and the others to know the status of Zhao Hai Desert. Every village along the way rushed to entertain them, and each family was more enthusiastic than the other. This also made Hu Ding, who was on a secret mission, feel that
Maybe his task is not that difficult to complete.
After another ten days of traveling, Hu Ding and the others finally arrived at Laorou Village. As soon as they entered the territory of Laorou Village, Hu Luding was stunned. Hu Ding had only been resting in the small and medium-sized villages there these days, and all he saw was
There are some small oases, and to be honest, those small oases are really nothing interesting to see, but Laorou Village is different. This used to be the headquarters of Shahu Village, which was a large village with nearly a hundred thousand soldiers. They
The residence is certainly not small, and there are some bottle trees and some baobab trees growing here, plus various crops and grass, it is simply like the Kingdom of Soul.
Not long after they entered Laorou Village, a group of people ran over. This group of people quickly arrived in front of Hu Ding and the others. The person who came saluted to Hu Ding and said: "This is the Eighteenth Master.
?I am Fat Cat. The young master asked me to pick you up."
Hu Ding and Fat Mao had never met, but Zhao Hai knew that it was Hu Mei who led people into the desert this time, so after getting the message from Feiying today, Zhao Hai directly asked Fat Mao to come forward.
Come to meet Hu Ding.
Zhao Hai is a member of the Hu family, and Fat Mao is Zhao Hai's servant. Strictly speaking, he is also a member of the Hu family. So when he speaks, Hu Ding is called the Eighteenth Master.
Hu Ding had also heard about Fat Cat. Zhao Hai destroyed the Tao and Zhou families in anger because of Fat Cat. Fat Cat was originally a member of the Zhou family, but he was very concerned about the destruction of the Zhou family.
However, he was not sad at all. On the contrary, he became even more loyal to Zhao Hai. This is also an anomaly.
Hu Ding nodded towards Fat Cat and said, "It's me, where's Crane Grass?"
Fat Cat said quickly: "The young master is doing experiments. Master Eighteen, the young master has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come quickly. Who is this?" Fat Cat looked at the person next to Hu Ding with some confusion. This person is a
The Soldier Soul Man was obviously not from the same group as Hu Ding and the others, because this man had obvious characteristics of the desert.
Hu Ding smiled and said: "Oh, this is the brother from Giant Village. He sent us here. Please invite him to come in and have a seat." Fat Cat responded and let everyone into the room.
After everyone entered the cottage, Fat Mao immediately arranged a place for them to live. Of course, Hu Ding and the others could only live in tents now, but Hu Ding and the others did not mind it. After putting their belongings in the tent, they followed.
Fat Cat went to find Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai was not in his tent. He was currently in the desert outside Laorou Village, observing a water bottle tree with other planters.
This water bottle tree was cultivated by them. It is the third generation water bottle tree, but this water bottle tree has not yet met their requirements. Zhao Hai and the others are studying the water bottle tree.
Fat Mao led Hu Ding and the others to Zhao Hai and the others. Zhao Hai immediately felt someone behind him. He turned around and saw Hu Ding and the others. A big smile appeared on his face, and he walked quickly.
He walked up to Hu Ding, hugged Hu Ding hard, and then let go of Hu Ding and said loudly: "Uncle Eighteen, you are finally here. It's great. This way I can relax a little."
Hu Ding looked at Zhao Hai, laughed, patted Zhao Hai's shoulder hard and said: "Okay, not bad, you look stronger, okay, very good, what are you busy with?"
After Zhao Hai greeted the rest of the Hu family, he led everyone to the water bottle tree, and then said: "We are studying the water bottle tree now. Uncle Eighteen, you also know that there is too little water here in the desert.
I just want to store all the rain from the sky in the water bottle tree. Then I can let the water bottle tree do it. When the outside world needs water, it will automatically release some water. When there is no need for water outside, they will store the water.
, Unfortunately, it is not that easy to do this.”
Hu Ding rolled his eyes and said: "Boy, you take it for granted, is that a tree you are talking about? Why do I feel like a human being? You have to remember, the tree is a tree after all, it is not a human being, you want to do this
It's not that easy. I don't deny that trees are intelligent, but similarly, you can't control others. Without the support of human's natural energy, trees can't control their own bodies under normal circumstances.
Very bad.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then sighed and said: "This is also the most difficult part for me. Uncle Eighteen, do you know if there are any plants that can automatically adjust the surrounding environment?"
Hu Ding shook his head and said: "I really don't know about this. I only know that plants generally adapt to the surrounding environment and allow them to actively adjust the surrounding environment. It seems that there are really no plants that can do that."
Zhao Hai thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I think we can conduct some experiments. If we really succeed in the experiment, then this method can not only be applied here in the desert, but also anywhere in the soul world."
One place to use.”
Hu Ding looked at Zhao Hai, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Forget it, just do what you say. We are here just to cooperate with you and assign tasks."
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "Don't worry, everything you do this time is different from the past, and conducting research here in the desert is also different from the past. In the past, you had a very good environment for your research. But here in the desert
But no, have you seen those grasses? Those are the drought-resistant grasses I researched before. These grasses can only be studied in tents and then tested in the desert. Not only must they be drought-resistant, but they must also be
To adapt to the environment here in the desert, there are also some drought-resistant plants in the Blade Soul Kingdom, but 80% of those plants are not suitable for planting in the desert because the sun here is too poisonous. You came at the right time.
This period of time is the rainy season in the desert. It can be said to be the coolest period in the desert. After a while, you will know that when the sun shines, there are rolling heat waves everywhere in the desert. In this case, ordinary plants are very
It’s hard to survive.”
Hu Ding nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's get familiar with the environment in the desert in the past few days. How is your experiment here? Do you need our help?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said: "No, you have probably seen it before. Although this bottle tree can release the water in the body, it cannot be adjusted. It will continue to release until all the water is released.
Although he releases it very violently. Based on the amount of water stored in his body, and counting the speed at which he releases it, it will only take about two months for him to release all the water in his body. By then, I am afraid that not only
The grass around him will dry up, even him, let's go."
Zhao Hai greeted, and the people who were surrounding the water bottle tree all gathered around Zhao Hai. These people were all planters. They were planters sent from various villages. The most important thing is,
They are all native desert people. They grew up in the desert and are very affectionate towards the desert.
Most of them learned plant masters in the Blade Soul Kingdom or several other Central Plains countries. Because the Tiger Soul State did not attach great importance to plant masters and even suppressed them, they could not learn anything there, and Wolf Soul
If they knew their identities in the country, they would be killed immediately, so they could only go to places like the Blade Soul Country to study.
Of course, they can't learn too many useful things. Most people learn how to become planters, and then go back to the desert to study the plants in the desert. So these people
, may not have much research on other plants, but they are finally authoritative about the plants in the desert, and Zhao Hai just wants to have more exchanges with them.
Among these desert planters, the leader is an old planter in his fifties, named Che Shaofei. He is a planter who learned it in the Soul Kingdom.
, there is no one who doesn’t know about the Hu family, so when he saw Hu Ding and heard Hu Ding’s name, he immediately became very excited. After chatting with Hu Ding, he found out that Che Shaofei’s teacher
, turned out to be a member of the Hu family, and also the father of Hu Ding. The two became very close at this time. When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he was naturally very happy. He hoped that these planters in the desert could be like Hu Ding.
Ding and the others must live in peace, so that their research will be more helpful.
After returning to the village, Zhao Hai invited some old people in the village, including Che Shaofei and others, to have a meal with Hu Ding and others. After the meal, he let the others go to rest. Then Zhao Hai came with Hu Ding.
In your own tent.
There is a lot of information in Zhao Hai's tent now, but Zhao Hai has sorted it out fairly well. These information are all research information on bottle trees that he has compiled during this period.
Hu Ding glanced at the information in the room, turned to Zhao Hai and said with a smile: "You guys are really desperate. Tell me, why do you insist on coming to Damo to improve the environment here? What's wrong with you?"
What's the benefit of coming here? Why are you working so hard?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said: "Come on, Uncle Eighteen, what good can this do to me? I can't stay here in the desert forever, isn't it? The atmosphere in the country is a bit wrong recently, and I have been too shining in the country recently.
I always get noticed, and I don’t want to do that, so I ran here. Isn’t this nice? No one cares about me here. No one asks. I have the final say on everything. I’m free.
Yes, you can also study those plants, which is a good thing."
Hu Ding nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's okay to leave the country for a while. Recently, the king is playing balance, and he is playing very well. I think it won't take long for the country to calm down, but there is a small friction.
It will never end. This time the friction will not be between the major families and the royal family, but between the major families. I have to say that our Majesty is really clever. He has this kind of method at his disposal.
When he got up, he was really familiar with the road, and soon a large number of big nobles came to him, and he took action to suppress some big nobles, and those big nobles actually started to make trouble."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Isn't this just right? In the country, the major families do not dare to go too far, and at the same time they maintain the dominance of the royal family, and your majesty will not suppress those big nobles too hard.
He always has to maintain a balance, so it is not surprising, but this is also the reason why I want to leave the country. What our Hu family needs now is to keep a low profile, but many people don’t want to see the Hu family keep a low profile, and I am here
Identities in China are relatively sensitive. It would not be good if someone takes advantage of this. So it is just right to hide here. The hands of the big families here can't reach out. Even if they do, I can still use what I have on hand.
Strength, cut off that hand."
Hu Ding took a long breath and said: "It's okay to come out. This time we come. The clan leader said that he wants to establish a power here in the desert. Do you think this is feasible?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said: "Actually, here in the desert, we don't have to bother to establish any force at all. There is no need at all. With my current prestige here in the desert, it is really easy to establish a force.
But there is no need for us to do that. Building a force here in the desert is nothing more than leaving a way out for the Hu family. And now Shahu Village is one of the top ten mountain villages in the desert. As long as our Hu family can continue to fight with us in the future,
If we maintain a good relationship with Shahu Village, we will always maintain this retreat. There is no need to build another one. If we really build it, it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion, which will not do any good to our Hu family.
.”
When Hu Ding heard what Zhao Hai said, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's do this. In fact, there are differences in the family about establishing our own power here in the desert. It can save trouble if we come here
Well, you are more familiar with the situation here in the desert than I am, so I will do as you wish."
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice: "As long as we can research the bottle tree and improve the environment in the desert, then we will be the biggest contributors in the desert, and not just you and me, but the entire Hu family,
Because I am a Hu family, and you are also a Hu family. We are here in the desert, and we represent the Hu family. People here in the desert will always remember the kindness of the Hu family. When the time comes, our Hu family will enter the desert, and here in the desert
People will only welcome us, which is much better than us establishing our power here. If I establish my power now, it will only attract the attention of the big mountain villages in the desert, which is not good."
