To be honest, Li Zhi was somewhat surprised when he heard these two words. In theory, these two words should not come from the mouth of this mutant plant, but what the other party said was the truth.
It's nothing else, just fear, fear. It's just a mutated plant that hasn't crossed the threshold of the 'Emperor' life yet. It's not that I don't want to cross it, it's also because I'm afraid of encountering a thunderstorm and turning into ashes, so I don't want to.
He dared to take that step, so he stayed here, suppressing his own practice, and even transferred his energy to the mutated fruit trees nearby, in order not to break through and face the thunder disaster.
No matter how powerful you are in cultivation, if you die, nothing will be left. But as long as you don’t die, what does it matter if your cultivation level is lower? It is originally a pomegranate tree, a plant that grows in the earth and feels the nature of heaven and earth. Why should
Let it evolve.
This mutated pomegranate tree has been thinking like this ever since it had its own thinking, or spiritual intelligence.
It doesn't want to break through, nor does it want to become better than anyone else. It just wants to live peacefully in the soil and feel the changes of the four seasons, autumn and winter.
It can be said that the reason why there is this mutant orchard here is all because of its contribution. It is willing to use its own energy and nutrients to support the surrounding mutant trees and let them grow. Simply for this reason, it is very selfless.
Fear is the nature of all species. Fear is equivalent to fear and comes from nature.
Li Zhi felt the thoughts of this mutant plant, or in other words, it was this mutant pomegranate tree that made Li Zhi feel everything about her, her heart.
The reason for doing this is to survive. The mutated pomegranate tree wants to live and does not want to become the prey of others.
Li Zhi sighed, this was not the same as what he imagined, not at all.
He had never thought that a mutated plant would have so many thoughts, nor would he have thought that these thoughts could be so simple.
They just want to survive and live for a long time, but they themselves do not want to evolve or change.
I don’t know if it’s just the idea of this mutated pomegranate tree, or if all plants will have this idea after they evolve intelligence.
"If you were given a choice, would you choose to live or stay here." Li Zhi looked at the huge pomegranate tree and asked with a frown.
"Stay here and live!" the mutant pomegranate tree said.
"I can only choose one!" Li Zhi was silent for a moment and asked.
"I like it here and don't want to move. It's very complicated outside and it's not suitable for me to live!" The mutated pomegranate tree tried to explain its thoughts.
Li Zhi sighed inwardly, thought for a while and asked: "Then why don't you try to make a breakthrough? If you become an 'Emperor-level' life form, maybe your thoughts will change a lot!"
"Be afraid and you will die!" said the mutated pomegranate tree.
A very pragmatic answer, even if she does not become an 'Emperor-level' life, as long as no one comes to disturb her, she can still live and live for a long time.
"It's useless!" Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Even if we don't come, someone else will come one day. At that time, you still have to make a choice, whether to evolve, leave, or be killed by others.
You always have to walk your own path, and waiting won’t change anything!”
"I still want to stay here and live a stable life without being disturbed by anyone." The mutated pomegranate tree said.
Playing the lute to a cow, but Li Zhi wanted to say all these things.
Li Zhi thought for a while and asked: "How can I overcome the fear in my heart and become an emperor-level creature? If there is a way, tell me, maybe I can help you!"
The surrounding Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai, Ghost Face Queen Zhu Yu'er, Purple King, and even the Six-Winged Demon and Iron Lady brought by Li Zhi, and the King Kong all looked at Li Zhi. They did not hear the mutated pomegranate tree's words, only Li Zhi's words. The voice of wisdom.
But everyone could feel that Li Zhi was communicating with the mutant plant in front of him, so he didn't step forward to disturb them.
overcome fear?
The mutated pomegranate tree thought for a while, then shook its head and said: "I don't know how to overcome it. I don't want to evolve or grow. I'm so afraid of leaving the soil and losing my current living environment. I want to be quiet and listen to the wind blowing." I want to absorb the moisture in the soil, I want to be quiet and not be disturbed by anything, I like to communicate silently with the brothers and sisters next to me, I like the environment with a group of plants, I don’t want to be alone!”
Li Zhi looked at it and said: "Don't you want to go outside, see the sunshine, and feel other areas and scenery? Those are things you can't feel now."
"I'm scared!" the mutated pomegranate tree repeated.
Li Zhi took a deep breath. It seemed that with his eloquence, it was not easy to convince a mutated pomegranate tree.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Actually, I came here for the materials on your body this time, that is, the wood for your poles. The three fruits I picked just now can be returned to you, but you have to give me some poles. Rod, I’ll go back and make materials to use, is that okay?”
"It hurts so much, I don't want to!" the mutated pomegranate tree said.
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "If you give it to me voluntarily, then I can prevent the people next to you from doing it. You should also feel it. They are all royal-level evolved life forms. So many people want to kill you. It shouldn't be It's difficult.
If you don't give it to me, I will let them kill you. After you die, all the materials on your body will be mine."
After a moment of silence, the mutated pomegranate tree said: "If I give you some poles, will you retreat and stop disturbing me?"
"Yes!" Li Zhi nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: "Of course, the premise is that when we enter this mutant orchard to pick fruits in the future, you can no longer attack our people. You will be treated here in the future. Let’s pick our own fruits without disturbing each other!”
"How can I believe that what you say is true?" the mutated pomegranate tree said.
Li Zhi shrugged and asked: "It's now come to this, do you still have a choice? You should understand whether you agree or not, it's all my decision."
"You are very overbearing, like a plant competing for soil and fertilizer, not wanting to leave any living space for the surrounding plants!" the mutated pomegranate tree said angrily.
Li Zhi shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I am much more kind than that domineering plant. At least I am asking for your opinion and discussing with you, and I have not directly asked anyone to kill you."
"Okay, but I can only give you some, I can't give you all the poles!" The mutated pomegranate tree was silent for a while and chose to compromise.
Finally, Li Zhi got the 'high-grade wood' he wanted. Although it came from a 'quasi-imperial' mutant pomegranate tree, the mutant pomegranate tree had suppressed its own abilities for a long time and would not upgrade or evolve.
The materials on it are almost the same as those on the 'Emperor', and it is enough to be used with the evolution stones in the Emperor's body.
Before leaving, Li Zhi kept his promise and returned the three pomegranates he picked from the pomegranate tree to the other party.
The mutated pomegranate tree said: "It's useless. It has left my body. Even if I take it back, it will not become a part of my body. Give it to you. Eat it or let it take root. It's up to you."
Choose, they all contain part of my power, specially stored energy, just like my children, I hope you can make good use of them!"
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, said thank you, and then led the people away!
After coming out, Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai looked at Li Zhi and said with some confusion: "Boss Li, why don't you just let us kill that mutant plant?"
Li Zhi smiled and asked: "Just get rid of it. What good will it do to you, me, and this mutant orchard? You know, if this mutant pomegranate tree dies, then this mutant orchard will lack nutrients."
, will wither soon.”
"How do you know?" Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai asked in confusion.
"That mutated pomegranate tree told me!" Li Zhi said with a smile.
Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai smiled bitterly and said: "You believe what it says? What if it is lying to you?"
Li Zhi shook his head and said: "If it were you, would you be willing to gamble on this kind of thing? Anyway, I am not willing. We can all make money by keeping this mutated orchard, but if what it says is true, we still
If you kill it, will you have somewhere to regret it?"
Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai thought for a moment, laughed twice, nodded and said: "What you said is right, I would rather believe it!"
"That's right, why do we have to deal with a mutated plant? Anyway, it doesn't want to evolve itself, and it doesn't stop us from entering the mutated orchard to pick mutated fruits. Then it can practice its cultivation, and we can pick ours without disturbing each other.
Is that okay?" Li Zhi smiled and patted Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai on the shoulder.
Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai grinned and said: "Yes, not only can't disturb it, but you should also keep an eye on it. You must not let others kill this mutant plant. If it dies, this mutant orchard will not exist.
If so, then we still have to protect its safety!"
Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "You are right, Lao Hong can do it. He has learned to draw inferences from one instance to another. Yes, we have to ensure its safety. Not only can we not disturb it, but we cannot let others disturb it!
"
"..."
Ghost Faced Queen Zhu Yu'er, Purple King, Six-Winged Demon and others all felt speechless listening to the conversation between the two men. They didn't know whether to call them innocent or stupid.
"Do you really believe what that mutated plant said?" Ghost Faced Queen Zhu Yu'er couldn't help but ask.
Li Zhi shrugged and said with a smile: "Does it matter whether you believe it or not? The purpose of coming this time has been achieved. I have got what I want. It also promised that no matter whether we pick mutant fruits in the future, we will get the best of both worlds.
Why bother delving into anything else, right?"
kindness!
When did Boss Li become so kind?
But it seems that nothing wrong can be found in Li Zhi’s words.
Returning to the temporary camp, Li Zhi called over the Ghost Faced Queen Zhu Yu'er, the Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai, and Lord Purple King.
He talked about his intention to hire them as the great protectors of the ‘Doomsday City’.
"Opening Doomsday City? Boss Li, are you kidding me? This is not a joke. If we really provoke that kind of terrifying 'super creature', it is not something that emperor-level creatures can compete with. How many emperors can we do?"
Not even super creatures!" Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai looked at Li Zhi in horror and yelled.
Among the people present, he was the only one who had personally seen the horror of that kind of super creature. That kind of fear cannot be understood by imagination!
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as I want to do it, I will have a way to make no matter what kind of creature comes over, it must follow the rules of my 'Doomsday City'!"
"I don't believe it!" Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai shook his head like a rattle and said, "That's a super creature, a super creature, a master who can easily destroy ten emperor-level creatures. Can you guarantee our safety?"
?”
"You don't trust me?" Li Zhi looked at him and asked.
Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "This is not a question of trust or distrust. You don't know... how terrifying they are!"
Li Zhi said calmly: "Yes, I don't know, but I want to try it. If it succeeds, then 'Doomsday City' will be a paradise for all emperor-level creatures. I can gain huge wealth, and first of all
The emperor-level creatures that settle in Doomsday City will undoubtedly benefit the most, and I won’t force you to do so. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to join or not.”
After a slight pause, he said with a smile: "This is a big gamble in itself. If the suppression succeeds, you will be settled for the rest of your life."
"But what if the bet failed?" Blood Bat Dharma King Hong Hai said with wide eyes.
Li Zhi shrugged and did not answer his words, but said with a smile: "It depends on your courage!" (To be continued)
