During this cruel transformation, the original twins' personalities and so on were completely shattered, which was equivalent to reshaping the rest of the virtual personalities, so Treebeard called them past lives.
Rong Hu obviously didn't want to talk about himself anymore, but his eyes had already stopped on the giant tree seed in Fang Linyan's hand. His eyes were like seeing a treasure. After a while, he said:
"May I ask where you got this seed from? I can sense its breath from a long distance away, and my child can still resonate with it."
Fang Linyan had no intention of hiding anything and said very directly:
"On Rambla Island, which is almost seven thousand kilometers away from here, there is a giant tree similar to yours, called Vandeweghe. It is also a product of the laboratory. It has the characteristics of plants and animals, and even its own fallen seeds.
They will all kill them cruelly and plunder their nutrients.”
"By coincidence, this seed was not killed by Vandeweghe right away. It was able to survive and grow for almost two weeks relying on the animal carcasses next to it. In the end, I saved it."
After hearing this, Rong Hu suddenly said:
"Oh, I understand, no wonder."
Fang Linyan said curiously:
"Who is your child?"
The little elf circled nearby and landed in the strange grid next to it. It pointed at a "bird egg" and made a chirping sound. Fang Linyan looked carefully and realized that he had made a mistake.
It turns out that the "bird eggs" in the grid are actually giant seeds.
However, these giant seeds all looked completely dry, and some even had cracks on their surfaces, making them dead at first glance.
Ronghu sighed:
"Survival and reproduction are the two major instincts of living things, and I am no exception. However, after transformation, although we still have the ability to reproduce seeds, the vitality contained in these seeds is pitifully weak."
"It can be said that after these seeds are planted, most of them will not be able to take root and sprout. Even if they can occasionally take root and sprout, they will die quickly and it is almost impossible to grow into a towering tree."
Having said this, Rong Hu looked at the giant tree seed next to him with bright eyes:
"But it is different. The surging vitality inside it can be said to be very tyrannical. More importantly, this tyrannical vitality also contains a very commendable resilience. Even when the end of the road, it can still grit its teeth and fight to the end.
of toughness.”
"And what's even more rare is that it can also resonate with my seeds! It means that the genes of the two are similar, so it is my only hope to reproduce and pass on to future generations."
Fang Linyan frowned and said:
"It's not about sacrificing it or hurting it! I can't accept that!"
As Fang Linyan said this, he scratched the giant tree seed at his hand with his fingers. It surrounded Fang Linyan's fingers with its fine tentacles and made a strange sound. He was very happy to see it.
Ronghu stared at the giant tree seed, his eyes full of warmth, even doting, and said slowly:
"Of course not. In fact, it is very simple to let it help my children reproduce. It only requires a very ancient technique. Human beings have used this technique for more than a thousand years. You can rest assured of its safety.
"
Fang Linyan’s wonder:
"What skill?"
Rong Hu said:
"You must have heard of grafting."
Fang Linyan suddenly understood, but he still said tentatively:
"Are you sure this will work?"
At this time, two more fist-sized light balls flew out from the darkness next to them. After looking carefully, I realized that there was also a medium-sized elf in the light balls, but the wings looked more like butterflies.
It's not a dragonfly. It looks quite cute but has a dull expression.
Instead, they flew out, dragging a large wooden plate from left to right, with milk-like liquid in the plate.
Then they soaked the seeds of the giant tree in it. It was quite comfortable to see this guy inside, chirping non-stop, and using fibrous roots to support and roll around.
Ronghu then took out a football-sized seed from the grid next to it and gently stroked it with his palm.
Then I saw that the outer skin of the seeds was peeled off quickly, just like an onion, falling to the ground layer by layer. At the core was a core similar to an almond, slightly green, about the size of a finger, but not the edge.
There are already some signs of scorch.
Ronghu stared at the seed, almost like a parent looking at a weak and terminally ill child, then sighed slightly and placed the seed next to the giant tree seed.
As a result, when the giant tree seed felt that the banyan seed was coming to its side, it immediately stretched out its tentacles and roots to hug it tightly, as if it had discovered some treasure.
Ronghu explained:
"In fact, my child and this giant tree have a very deep blood connection. The relationship between them is like biological brothers and sisters."
"Sir, if you can agree to help my child, let it grow smoothly under the care of this giant tree seed, and allow my bloodline to continue, then I can agree to any of your requests -----
---Of course, the premise is that I can do it!"
This matter was just a piece of cake for Fang Lin Yan. He hesitated for a moment and then said simply:
"Okay, no problem. As for the conditions, there's really no need...that's right!"
Fang Linyan suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly:
"You know, there are people on this island who are used to eating insects as food."
Rong Hu nodded and said:
"Yes, the island has been vigorously promoting insect food."
Fang Linyan said:
"I was lucky enough to eat an insect called a mutated leaf-cutting beetle before. I thought it tasted very good and wanted to take some back for my friends to try."
"And my friend has very strong tastes and likes to eat food with such weird flavors, so if there is something similar, then I will be very satisfied."
After listening to Fang Linyan's request, Rong Hu realized that it was not too much and was far better than the worst-case scenario he had expected.
So he turned around and glanced at the elf. The elf rolled up a leaf flute and started to play it. The strange thing was that Fang Linyan couldn't hear any sound. It should be that the frequency of the leaf flute exceeded
frequency acceptable to the human ear.
As a result, less than ten minutes later, Fang Linyan saw two elves flying in, with small pockets woven from green leaves and branches in their hands.
Without exception, all of them were crawling mutated leaf-cutting beetles. They looked big and fat, and some were even fighting inside the pocket. Fang Linyan counted them and found that there were at least twenty of them.
, hurriedly said, "Enough is enough, enough is enough."
After a while, a few more elves hurriedly flew over and put down a basket, which contained a small half basket of black fruits that looked a bit like blueberries in size and shape.
There is still a little bit of dew on it, and the skin is also translucent, giving it a rather crystal clear feel.
Then another elf brought a wooden box, which looked like it was full of tea leaves.
Ronghu pointed at the black fruit and said:
"This is a mutated fruit of a vine that grows on my body, but it is mainly used to process food. It will cause a very unique change in the taste of food."
"If you eat it, your taste will become very strange in a short period of time. For example, food that is sour will feel very sweet, and food that is bitter will feel fishy. But it is very good for human health."
Fang Linyan picked it up with great interest, but a prompt suddenly appeared in front of him:
"Contractor ZB419: Congratulations on discovering a C-grade dark seasoning, fresh sunflower seeds."
After getting this hint, Fang Linyan picked up the wooden box with anticipation and smelled it, and found that this thing not only looked like tea leaves, but also smelled like tea leaves.
As a result, Rong Hu said seriously:
"These dried sprout moths cannot be eaten directly. They can only be mixed with charcoal or fuel for barbecue. But you must be very careful, because every year, people secretly use these things to make barbecues and then die after eating them."
Fang Linyan was shocked after hearing this and said:
"Isn't this tea?"
Rong Hu said:
"Of course not. Every May, flowers will bloom on my trunk. At that time, this new bud moth will appear. It lives by sucking nectar. Its life cycle is only less than two months, and it is difficult to
Capture.”
Fang Linyan picked up the box and looked at it again and again in disbelief. He still felt that this thing was tea. He could only say that the mimicry of the moth was so well done that the appearance was so similar after drying in the sun.
He hesitated and said:
"Sorry, you just said this thing is highly poisonous?"
