Xiao Ai wondered: "Green Bone Spirit Leaf? There is no record of this plant in my database."
Ding Meng sighed: "When Brother Zheng Ming passed away, I used it to say goodbye to Brother Zheng Ming. In order to save me, Mr. Yu, I also used it to play the war song of the herdsmen from the foreign demon country."
Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect people from the Qingshu Tribe to have such a thing.
Ding Meng had gently rolled up the spirit leaves, put them to his mouth and blew slowly:
"Slices of lovesickness flow down the rivers, traces of nostalgia are carried by the wind, trickling love is like a clear spring, and the faint sound of the flute lingers on the valley cliff; the fallen trees and dead leaves will drift to someone's home, and suddenly the first red clouds will appear, and the setting sun is like blood,
Smile like a flower..."
It was still the song "Original Scenery of My Hometown". The music was soothing, soft and beautiful, with a tranquil and distant air. Jun Ling and others couldn't help but be fascinated by it. This natural sound seemed to bring them all back to their hometown. Six
Individuals play carefree and run freely on the prairie.
Even the Qingshu people who were busy nearby put down their work and turned to look at Ding Meng in surprise. Everyone's expressions gradually became intoxicated...
After a long time, the song ended, and Jun Ling finally came back to his senses: "It's so nice! This song!"
The girl looked surprised: "What kind of music is this?"
Ding Meng smiled: "This song is called "Original Scenery of Hometown"."
The girl was a little shy: "Can you teach me, I want to learn!"
Ding Meng smiled and said: "It is possible, but this leaf is not enough."
The girl's eyes lit up: "There are many near my home, I can take you to pick them."
"That won't work!" Frasu came over with a stern face.
The girl's eyes dimmed: "Why?"
Frasu ignored her at all and turned to Ding Meng: "Her home is not far from here, but if you want to leave the factory, you must agree to a condition."
Ding Meng said: "What conditions!"
Frasu said seriously: "Give me a box of your meat!"
Ding Meng laughed dumbly: "No problem."
He said he was given one box, but actually he was given two boxes. Jun Ling has always been smart, how could he miss this opportunity? The administrator was sent away after two boxes of beef, so why not do it.
After wandering around the factory for a while, the sky gradually dimmed, and it was time to rest at night. These tree people lived in nearby tribes, so they didn't need to stay in the factory.
Ding Meng and Jun Ling followed the girl named Nicona out of the factory. If the outside could be described, it would definitely be the prairie after Medixing Shiyuan returned to normal. However, the weeds and shrubs here were huge and dense.
Normal humans can easily get lost while walking here.
Nicona probably took this into consideration and led the two of them to walk in a place with fewer trees. After about half an hour, they came to a relatively flat grassland. This was obviously a small yard, with a small tree standing on it.
In the courtyard.
Although it is said to be a small tree, it is actually not small at all. The visual height is no less than 20 meters. It is just smaller than other trees on Planet 36. There is a tree hole at the bottom of the tree. Nicona's home is here.
.
The conversations along the way also let Ding Meng know that the Qingshu tribe also has strict social class divisions.
Almost all the Qingshu people live in trees. The higher they live, the richer the family is, or the stronger the family is. They have the ability to live in trees hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters high.
Free climbing.
A family like Nicona's who lives in a tree hole at the bottom is a very ordinary poor family. They don't have strong hunting skills, so they can only make a living by collecting plants on the ground.
Nicona is considered a lucky one. Her language talent is very good. The requirement for factory recruitment is to understand the human language of the Gods and Stars. After a brief study, she mastered it, so she was able to work in the factory.
The remuneration in the factory is actually very small. There is no circulating currency in the Qingshu tribe's society. People exchange materials with each other according to needs, but there are also benefits in the factory, because the God War Alliance brings all kinds of weird gadgets.
, if Frasu is happy, he will give priority to the workers.
Of course, most supplies must be sent to the royal family first, and civilians are not qualified to handle these things.
Judging from the entire map, the factory is located in a very remote location, so the people living nearby are the lowest level commoners of the Qingshu tribe.
Starting from the factory and heading north, ordinary people live in this area. Only energy users can enter the super forest. The reason is very simple. Planet 36 is so green and majestic, and there are many rare and exotic animals in the woods and grasslands.
, if you don’t have the strength to enter the super forest rashly, the risk factor is very high.
Only after becoming a source energy user can one be qualified to enter the super forest for hunting. This is the default rule.
The people living in the super forest are not ordinary tree people. Almost 95% or more are source energy users. They are divided into three levels: tribe, clan, and army. The closer you get to the Qingling Divine Tree in the center,
The more wealthy and prominent his status becomes, the monarch's residence is located on the Green Spirit Tree, and he is the supreme being of the Green Tree Clan on Star No. 36.
Nicona's parents are obviously not what Frasu said, and are not friendly to humans. On the contrary, the two old people are very enthusiastic towards Ding Meng and the two.
The inside of the tree hole is completely decorated like a room in the human world, except that all kinds of ornaments are plant specimens. It is the closest to the factory, and the human civilization brought by the God War Alliance has a great impact on the nearby area.
Nicona's father made a wooden table and placed it in the yard. The steel bowls and basins placed on it were all printed with the Gods of War Alliance logo, but the food inside was an eye-opener for Jun Ling.
There are sparkling grass leaves and various strange fruits. The shape is a bit like mulberry leaves and mulberry fruits. They are colorful and very beautiful. The taste is not delicious, but it is definitely not unpalatable.
Anyway, Ding Meng and Jun Ling are the kind of people who have struggled through the days of living like hair and drinking blood. They are never particular about food. It's good to have something to eat.
However, after eating these grass fruits, Ding Meng felt refreshed and his brain was particularly clear.
Xiao Ai said: "These fruits have some slight help in brain development, especially the improvement of mind power. Although the improvement is negligible, it does have an effect. No wonder the Green Tree people live long lives."
Nicona explained apologetically: "This place is too far away from the sacred tree, and the food produced is not very good, so I feel sorry for you two."
But Jun Ling didn't mind: "Are you saying that the closer you get to the sacred tree, the better the taste of these fruits?"
Nicona's father said: "Only psychics are eligible to enjoy the food produced in the sacred forest. They will become stronger after eating it. Naturally, we don't have such good things, but the meat you brought tastes really good."
It’s so good, we’ve never had this.”
Ding Meng said in a deep voice: "By the way, Nicona, where does the wood in the factory come from?"
Nicona said: "It used to be sent from the sacred forest, and it has been harvested nearby in the past two years."
Ding Meng secretly thought that if the wood was affected by the sacred tree, then the wood in the super forest would be very different from the wood outside. This is probably the reason.
Nicona said: "Aren't you testing the wood?"
Ding Meng smiled and said: "Yes, the people in the alliance are not very satisfied, and the quality of the wood is not high."
Nicona's father sighed: "I heard from the chief elder of the tribe a few days ago that the monarch is not satisfied with the cooperation with the God War Alliance."
Ding Meng frowned and said, "Why?"
Nicona's father said: "The elder means that our Qingshu tribe has been providing wood, but the God War Alliance has always been unwilling to provide spacecraft and starship technology, and only trades daily necessities. This is different from the monarch's original idea, so this
In two years, the wood from the sacred forest will no longer be allowed to be supplied to the factory."
Ding Meng can probably guess the monarch's thinking. The industry and technology of the Qingshu tribe are indeed backward, almost non-existent. Which race doesn't want to become stronger? Since the God War Alliance has a demand for wood, then we will use wood.
to exchange technology.
However, Ding Meng still had doubts and couldn't figure it out. With the strength of the God War Alliance fleet, it would be enough to just parachute down to suppress it. Why use this kind of cooperative exchange, which consumes both motors and fuel?
Xiao Ai hesitated and said: "This is probably related to the technology they are researching, I'm afraid it is not an ordinary technology."
Ding Meng said: "There are probably other reasons for this."
Nicona's father added: "But I personally hope to provide you with wood from the sacred forest."
Ding Meng was stunned: "Why?"
Nicona's father replied worriedly: "I also heard what Frasu said. He also said that the quality of the wood is getting worse and worse. The representatives of the God War Alliance are getting tougher and tougher in the annual talks, and the supplies they provide are getting worse."
Things are getting worse and worse. If this continues, the factory will close down sooner or later. People in our tribe will have a hard time, alas..."
Jun Ling was also a little silent. She could understand the situation of Nicona's family. She was not a psyker, and her parents did not have strong hunting abilities. They could only rely on the factory to survive. If the factory shut down, Nicona's job would be gone.
, the life of the whole family is no longer guaranteed.
At this time, Ding Meng's eyes suddenly stared at the wooden table in trance, and Jun Ling also sensed: Someone is coming!
There was a rustling sound of footsteps in the woods, and more than one person came. Suddenly, seven or eight male tree men holding javelins emerged from the surrounding bushes, and they immediately surrounded the center of the small courtyard. Look at that
You can tell by your posture that you have bad intentions.
But Nicona's father stood up immediately: "Why are you here again?"
The first tree man was taller than Frasudu, at least 3.5 meters tall. When he saw Nicona, he immediately became happy: "Ha, I came just in time, Nicona is at home..."
But he soon became surprised: "Hey, how come there are humans in your family, people from the factory?"
