2. Skirmishes

The open grasslands are sparsely populated with a variety of weeds, with intermittent groves occurring in between, which is the standard landform of the African savannah zone.

Many people think of deserts when they think of Africa, but in fact, Africa has large deserts and large grasslands, so if someone says that the top of your head looks like Africa, it not only means that you are bald on the top of your head, but also that you have green on the top of your head......

Three thousand years ago, there was Shakyamuni who cultivated his true body under the Bodhi tree and eventually became a Buddha, three hundred years ago, there was Newton who realized gravity under the apple tree to achieve the road of physics, and now there is Yang Shubao under the tree of life with a confused face.

Although it was a little unbelievable, everything in front of him was true, and this was the conclusion that Yang Shubao came to with a slap.

Half of his face still hurts.

Mayek didn't talk nonsense, their Tarim culture is real, it is more true than the sunshine incense burner can produce purple smoke, there is really a world tree, to be precise, there is really a tree of life.

He still doesn't know the specific origin of the Tree of Life, and his communication with the dryad spirit is not so convenient, but in a short period of time, he has learned two main things:

First, the pendant that Mayek wears around his neck is the seed of the Tree of Life, which collapses into a seed when the Lord of the Tree dies until it is resurrected again.

The resurrection of the seeds of the Tree of Life requires a lot of energy, such as electricity.

It is true that Mayek took out the tree seed in the days when the lightning appeared according to the rumors in the clan, but the rumors in their clan may not explain a little, the tree species will actively absorb energy, it seems to be wood, but in fact, it is not insulating but can conduct electricity and heat!

This is the point, I won't take the test, but it will be fatal!

Second, when the tree species has absorbed enough energy, it will recognize the Lord and then look for a suitable piece of land to take root and start growing.

At this time, it is a small tree, and as it grows, the green fruits on its branches will grow, and they can give birth to elves, and the elves will build nests in the tree, and eventually this tree of life will become an elven city.

This is really, the elf fruit on the tree of life, and the tree of life is bewildering me.

He was stunned, but the Dryad Panel gave a new reminder: [Young City Lord, please protect the Tree of Life!Prepare for defense!]

I'll defend you with a hammer!

Yang Shubao looked into the distance, he didn't know where he was now, but he must be far away from the botanical reserve, because the area of the reserve was hit by a storm, and the sky within a radius of hundreds of miles was cloudy.

And this place is clear and surrounded by a large plain full of vegetation, full of greenery and life, how can such a place be dangerous to the tree of life?

The scenery of this place chosen by the Tree of Life is good, looking at the water waves to the east, and there are ripples in the water color to the south, only looking to the southwest has houses, but it is only a few lonely houses, and there will be more houses in a better place, Yang Shubao estimates that it is a small town.

When he found the house, he was ready to go and ask someone about the situation, he needed to know where it was.

As a result, as soon as he moved away from the Tree of Life, the panel formed by the Tree Spirit immediately popped out: [Protect the Tree of Life!Defense!Defense!Defense!]

Yang Shubao put away the panel and said angrily: "What are you defending against? There is not a single dog here......

The panel immediately popped up again: [Protect the Tree of Life!Defense!Defense!Defense!(Reward)]

Yang Shubao was about to ask what the reward was, when a few squeaks sounded, and he turned to see a little monkey coming out of the grass and scratching his ears and cheeks at the Tree of Life.

This is a very beautiful little monkey, it is not as tall as Yang Shubao's knees when it stands, it has golden yellow body hair all over, and the hair on its face is particularly dark and long, like a circle of lion's mane.

As an associate master's student in animal and nature conservation, Yang Shubao recognizes this monkey: the golden lion tamarin.

However, the golden lion tamarin only exists in South America in the wild, and although there are many animals and monkey species in Africa, there is absolutely no golden lion tamarin!

In this way, Yang Shubao subconsciously gasped: Hey, isn't he in Africa but brought to South America by the Tree of Life?

The little marmoset came out and looked at the tree of life with wide eyes, and after a few glances, it ran towards the tree with a cheer.

Yang Shubao finally understood why the tree spirit asked him to protect the tree of life, the golden lion-faced tamarin is an omnivorous animal, and has a rare habit among animals: it likes to suck the sap of trees.

They use their sharp claws to dig holes in tree trunks and branches, or use their powerful incisors to gnaw at the bark and suck the sap into their mouths, so there are very few small trees near their habitat in the South American jungles, and they are all killed.

Yang Shubao hurriedly drove it away, as the so-called rich people change their lives by money, and the poor change their lives by hanging, this tree of life is obviously the life hanging prepared for him by God, but this little monkey can't be let die.

The golden lion-faced tamarin was very timid, and Yang Shubao chased it and roared so much that it turned around and ran away, urinating while running.

Urine drifts in the wind, and there is a rainbow in the sun......

This is not an exaggeration, South Africa has the reputation of the rainbow country, where the wind, air and sunshine are suitable for the rainbow to appear.

Yang Shubao knew that this was an international-level protected animal and did not want to harm it, so he gave up after driving it away.

The little marmoset refused to stop, and after pulling away the distance, it turned its head and looked at Yang Shubao vigilantly, and after looking at it for a while, it suddenly ran back tentatively, narrowing the distance between the two sides.

Yang Shubao was happy in his heart, the elven city lord has the ability to get close to all things in nature, could it be that he was attracted by himself as soon as he touched the little marmoset just now?

He thought too much.

The little monkey suddenly threw something at him and threw it at him, and then turned around and ran again.

Yang Shubao looked at it, and the thing that fell on the ground was monkey poop!

"Little deflated calf, you're dead. Uncle Yang chased after him angrily.

The dryad panel popped up: [The elven city lord must be noble and elegant, please pay attention to your words and deeds. 】

"Walk you!"

【Good】

The Dryad panel disappears actively.

He forgot about it, as both monkeys and orangutans like to use poop as weapons to attack their enemies, and silverback gorillas are especially good at this trick because of their thick and hard poop.

Chased by Yang Shubao, the little marmoset was so frightened that its soul was about to fly out, and it ran to the nearest small forest on all fours, and disappeared without a trace after burrowing into the forest.

This forest is sparsely populated with acacia, saponaria, locust and ash trees, which are common in South Africa, and there are many shrubs such as camel thorns and white thorns growing in between, and Yang Shubao does not dare to enter it.

There are 20,000 species of vegetation in South Africa, but thorns are the most hurtful.

He felt that this long-distance pursuit should have almost frightened the little marmoset, and that it should not have the courage to covet the tree of life again.

He thought too much about it again.

Not long after he returned to the Tree of Life, a small golden figure appeared sneakily again.

And more than one!

City Lord Yang was furious: "Team battle?"
