Chapter 183 Parasitic Tree House

Xu Xi immediately took out his shovel and dug at the roots of the tree house.

As he dug into one of the trees with his shovel, he clearly felt the sensation of digging and collecting, which was different from ordinary digging.

"There's hope!" Xu Xin was delighted and continued to swing the shovel to dig.

Seeing this, Silver King stepped forward to help, but was stopped by Xu Xin. Although he didn't know if digging up the tree house would yield seeds, if so, only a shovel could guarantee they would be found.

Digging one shovel at a time, although there is a feeling of collection every time, the process is very long.

In the past, digging up poplar fruit trees only took one, maybe two or three, hits to bring them down. This tree house was just a green-level [low tree house], and it was already dead, so I didn't expect it to be so difficult to dig.

It can’t be impossible to dig it out, right?

Xu Xin did not stop what he was doing and continued digging.

After digging for nearly half an hour, the roots of the tree house were exposed. When he felt that he could no longer dig up seeds from the tree house and was about to give up, he finally heard a slight cracking sound from the roots.

Tiny cracks appeared at the roots and gradually became more pronounced. Then, the half of the broken trunk above the ground, riddled with holes, began to sway slightly, teetering on the verge of collapse.

Xu Xin reached out and gave a gentle push, and the broken trunk along with the broken roots were uprooted, falling to the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.

In the pit where the tree trunk originally stood, a pale yellow walnut-sized seed lay quietly in it, not much different in color from the surrounding soil, and quite inconspicuous.

Xu Xin was very familiar with seeds of this size and color. When he first came to this world, he walked around for two days holding a seed of this type before planting it!

"There really is a tree house seed!" Xu Xin was overjoyed and immediately picked up the seed from the pit.

[Parasitic Tree House Seeds: Seeds obtained after digging up an ordinary tree house can be used to plant a parasitic tree house.

Parasitic tree houses do not have a tree house core and require the host to provide them with nutrients and tree house capabilities. They can only be planted within the protection area of ​​a normal tree house, and their roots are connected to the host's roots.

The shape of the treehouse grown from this seed has nothing to do with soil fertility, but only with the original shape of the treehouse before it was dug.

"...Isn't this the same tree house seed from before?" Xu Xin's eyes widened as he looked at the description. "Parasitic tree house seed?"

The core of the tree house is the white gem he just obtained, which can provide growth energy for the tree house.

But the tree house that can be grown from the seed in his hand has no core, and can only be planted within the tree house protection area. It parasitizes on the roots of other tree houses and survives by absorbing nutrients from other tree houses.

...He was still thinking about whether he could plant tree houses and then cut them down to mass-produce tree house cores. It seems that he was overthinking it.

This seed is not like the previous tree house seeds. When planted in soil of different fertility levels, it will grow into tree houses of different levels.

Xu Xin recalled the dilapidated two-story tree house that had just been broken into pieces.

That is to say, if he plants this seed within his protected area, no matter what the soil level is, it will eventually grow into the two-story tree house.

"Isn't this the same as transplanting the tree house directly?"

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes, and he realized the meaning behind this function.

If all tree houses can dig out seeds, then digging up the seeds of other people's tree houses and planting them within one's own protected area would be equivalent to forming an organization centered on him, wouldn't it?

However, he is still unclear about the relationship between the parasitic tree house and the host tree house. Perhaps the host can completely control the parasitic tree house, or perhaps the host must provide something to the parasitic tree house.

He decided to go back and plant the tree house seed near his tree house and analyze the situation.

The tree trunks on the ground cannot be wasted either.

Taking out the iron axe, he chopped at the trunk of the tree house.

Unfortunately, the trunk was nothing special. Since this was a low tree house, the material used was just ordinary green-grade lumber.

By the way, if we cut down his own tree house, we should be able to get purple-grade wood...

There must be a tree house core in his tree house. The tree house core he obtained this time is called the [Core of the Low Tree House], so his should be called the [Core of the Tall Tree House], and the functions must be different.

He had no way of cutting down his own tree house, but if he came across someone else's tree house in the future...

...High-level resources can really make people harbor evil thoughts. But in this world, these aren't really evil thoughts.

If you don't belong to the same camp, it's just the survival of the fittest.

"Mimi!" Xu Xin called out, and a few seconds later, Mimi, who was originally walking around, rushed out from the jungle and stepped lightly and silently beside him.

"Let's go back."

There was nothing left here, so he decided to go back and study the two special resources he had obtained this time, the [Tree House Core] and the [Parasitic Tree House Seed].

Riding on the Silver King, the man and four beasts began to head back.

[Has returned to the tree house protection area.]

While Silver King was running, a prompt tone sounded in Xu Xin's ears again.

Although we were outside the protected area during the journey just now, we were not attacked.

It seems that, as the introduction says, even though the tree house is dead and its seeds have been dug out, its roots are still intimidating underground creatures.
