Chapter 103 Humans and Tree Demons, Friendly Diplomatic Relations
On the fifth day after Gu Xingzhou left, he finally returned with a bruised face.
He found Ji Ruo and said with emotion: "Ji Ruo, did you promise Feng Shen Falcon something? Our cooperation with Shan Shen Mu has been pretty good these days, but Feng Shen Falcon comes to us every day and asks when you will go... I said you lent us the fragments of the Universal Mirror and we can't get in for the time being, and she beat me up..."
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment: "Aunt Jinglan hit you? Why did she hit you?"
Gu Xingzhou touched his nose and said, "She said I stole things from children, how shameless... Ji Ruo, please don't misunderstand me, it's not that I can't beat her, although her bloodline has advanced, but if we really fight, she will definitely not be my opponent.
I didn't argue with her because of you!"
Gu Xingzhou was hesitant and kept saying some hard-to-understand words, such as "a woman", "married with two kids" and so on...
"Hahaha!"
Ji Ruo smiled.
Rosie was also laughing so hard right above Ji Ruo's head. It was so funny.
"Ji Ruo, we don't need this Wanxiang Realm fragment for now, so I'll give it back to you." As he said that, he took out the diamond-shaped fragment and returned it to Ji Ruo: "But you have to be a little careful. When you enter Wanshou Mountain in the near future, it's best to prepare a set of chemical protective clothing... By the way, we are going to reach a deeper level of cooperation with the Mountain God Tree. In the future, Da Xia's feces and urine will be provided to them first in exchange for spiritual medicine.
But Shanshenmu said that those elixirs will be provided to you first, after all, you were the one who made the first choice, so I came to ask for your opinion."
Gu Xingzhou looked at Ji Ruo and said, "If we do this, the spiritual medicine market in Daxia will definitely be greatly impacted. Prices will plummet, which is a good thing for the people..."
"Then let's do it." Ji Ruo said, "Why would I disagree?"
Gu Xingzhou smiled and said, "Good boy, I was right about you. Well, you should take some time to go back to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts. I can't go back for the time being. The way Fengshen Falcon looks at me right now is really a bit...haha."
Ji Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Please wait for me for a moment. I will prepare some things and we will go back to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts together... If the price of spiritual medicine plummets, it will probably have a significant impact on the existing market, right?
Uncle Gu, have you dealt with this problem? "
“Not yet. The Finance Department has not yet worked out a suitable plan. Such a big thing must be made public, but I don’t know how to make it public in a more appropriate way.
The origin of the elixir is not easy to explain.
Some people may not be able to accept cooperation with the tree demon for the time being."
"I have an idea, Uncle Gu, if possible, let me try it?" Ji Ruo thought of a very interesting idea.
"If it's done properly, there shouldn't be any problem."
Gu Xingzhou thought for a moment and said, "You are the one who pushed all this forward. We will definitely give priority to your proposal... But can you please tell me first what you are going to do?"
"It's easy." Ji Ruo smiled mysteriously: "Anyway, it all depends on my performance~"
…
Mountain of Beasts, top of the mountain.
Ji Ruo was wearing a thick chemical protective suit. The huge life essence needed to transform the life fruit came from the star giant monster.
The monsters that live in the starry sky are huge in size and have extremely strong vitality. As four-star monsters, their vitality alone is dozens of times stronger than that of monsters on the ground, making them the most suitable "materials".
However, because those giant star monsters have lived in the universe for a long time, their flesh and blood contain huge amounts of radiation, so ordinary people cannot eat them directly.
This kind of giant star monster that cannot be eaten after being killed was usually thrown away after being killed. Now with the help of the Mountain God Tree, there is no need to waste it. Just beat it half to death and exchange it for the Rebirth Fruit.
It was the strong radiation from them that caused some of the monsters in the Mountain of Beasts to begin to distort...
But it's not a big problem.
The chemical protective suit that Ji Ruo was wearing was specially made, with visible windows reserved for the eyes and chest. The window on the chest was reserved for Rosie.
Not far away, a group of researchers wearing chemical protective suits were operating various instruments on several tree demon brothers.
"Are we really allowed to study these dryads?"
"Phew! What kind of research? We are trying to understand the structural characteristics of these dryads. Only by collecting enough detailed data can we develop a better growth plan for them."
"That's right. I didn't know before that the demonic power in the tree demon's body operates in this way... Judging from its growth, this tree demon doesn't seem to be very healthy."
They used a knife to cut open the bark, carefully observed and recorded the flow of demonic power beneath the bark, and compared the data.
…
"Xiao Jiruo, you're here?"
The mountain god Mu said this comfortably. At this moment, dozens of warriors were jumping and walking with big scissors above his head, pruning the branches for him.
The roots of the mountain god tree pierced into the bodies of the giant star monsters, using the power of the earth veins to madly squeeze out the essence of life.
The trunk of the tree cracked open, revealing a lake of life essence inside the trunk. The water in the lake ebbed and flowed, and in an instant, hundreds of life-giving fruits flew out.
"There are actually monsters like this in the world. I thought the process of absorbing life essence was boring, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting to absorb the life essence of these monsters!
I feel like I’m evolving!”
Ji Ruo touched his nose.
The secret realm is an incomplete little world with incomplete rules. There is no such thing as a starry sky at all. The stars in the secret realm at night are actually just projected images. The sky is limited in height.
Therefore, the Mountain God Tree, a plant monster that has lived in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain since childhood, naturally does not know the existence of the Starry Sky Monster.
The so-called "stimulation" and "evolution" are probably the deformation of its body caused by radiation...
However, Ji Ruo thinks that Shanshenmu himself should be able to tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Shanshenmu is so excited, probably because the distortion brought by these radiations is good for him.
"Grandpa Mu, the mountain god, I hope you don't mind. I'm sorry to bother you with so many life-giving fruits."
"No trouble, no trouble, haha! There are such magical monsters in the world, and these humans, oh my, they know so much! I didn't expect that we, the plant monsters, have learned so much in our growth. I have grown in vain for so many years!
Once those botanical experts have thoroughly researched and planned, and combined with the flesh and blood of those star beasts, the clan trees will be able to evolve!
By then, as long as you have enough life essence, you will have enough fruit to give you health! Hahahaha! You can have any fruit you want!"
The mountain god tree was very excited.
The little tree demon who found him was right. Xiao Jiruo was indeed the sacred tree of his clan! He was the future of his clan!
Now, the dryads only need to help produce some fruits, and someone will take care of their food and drink.
Humans help them plan and adjust their positions so that they can get enough sunlight without being blocked by the branches of other dryads.
Humans also helped the mountain god tree to reorganize the water veins of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, so that the plant monsters could get sufficient water for irrigation without having to move.
There are also fertilizers... In addition to normal fertilizers, there are also various targeted chemical fertilizers and compound fertilizers... The Shanshen Tree is really laughing so hard during this period.
Every bit of nutrition is not wasted, all is used for growth, making you taller and stronger. You don’t need to do anything, just wait for normal results.
Nothing could make the tree happier than this.
Tree monsters don't like to move, and they used to migrate every night. It was a helpless act because the fertility of a piece of land is limited. "Moving trees will help them survive" is a true portrayal of these tree monsters.
"As long as you are happy." Ji Ruo smiled happily.
