Under the sun, Ye Shen's growth talent has exerted an amazing effect.

Twenty meters!

Twenty-one meters......

There are now twelve green leaves on their shoulders, and after upgrading, the whole of each leaf has at least doubled in size, and they are able to absorb more and more energy as they photosynthesize.

Besides.

Roots that grow under the soles of the feet......

Many of them are directly linked to the inside of the waterhole.

Absorbs water very quickly.

In addition, the leaf god himself had already gained a growth talent.

Under the combination of the three situations, the roots under Ye Shen's feet have already drilled into the depths of the desert, drilling for nearly eight meters, and they are still going deeper, spreading 21 meters towards the surroundings.

"At the current rate, in three days at most, my roots will be able to completely cover the entire field, and the further this growth goes, the faster it will be."

Feel the speed of that growth.

Ye Shen was also quite surprised in his heart.

"Huh?"

It's just that!

When the roots of the leaf god had grown to 23 meters, he suddenly stopped.

"Something is wrong, the water source in this pool has dropped too much...... What's going on? ”

Ye Shen asked in his mind.

During the period when the roots were growing, the water in this pool had dried up for at least nearly a meter, and Ye Shen had been paying attention to the roots before, and he didn't care about this situation.

Now seeing that the water level is constantly falling, he always has a bad premonition.

"In the process of plant growth, in addition to photosynthesis, the most important thing is the water source...... The host has grown for so long, and the water source required is naturally huge, and the water level has dropped, which is normal. ”

The system answered quickly.

"Didn't you say that before? There is a dark river below this pool, as long as the pool is not buried by the yellow sand, theoretically speaking, the water source here can be used for a long time. ”

Ye Shen asked, this is also the reason why he focused on growth and neglected the water source.

"Yes, there is indeed a dark river in the depths of this pool, but that river is not replenishing this pool all the time, but is affected by the tidal fluctuations that occur in the far away sea, and the water source will be replenished every once in a while, and under normal circumstances, the dark river is also dry."

The system gives an explanation.

"Hmm!"

Ye Shen nodded: "It seems that this is a troublesome problem...... The limitation of water sources directly affects the effect of growth talent, and if you want to establish a complete ecosystem, in addition to root covering, the most important thing is the water source! ”

"The current situation is that I can absorb far less water than the water that has evaporated and been 'swallowed' by those yellow sands! If the next time, when the water in the pool is replenished, all the water sources are locked, and there will definitely be no shortage. ”

Ye Shen's mind turned quickly.

How to lock in the water source is also a very complex problem.

After thinking about it for a while.

In his heart, he came up with a total of three different plans.

"Now there are 135 plants, let their roots grow along the edge of the waterhole, all the roots are linked together, and finally form a wall of roots, and then some gray-brown roots will grow, and the surface of the waterhole will be directly covered, and the color of the roots is similar to the color of the desert, which is difficult to find."

This was the first plan that Ye Shen thought of.

"In addition, I can control the way they grow, let them find the thickest roots in the process of growing, hollow out the middle, and then store the water ......"

This is the second option, which is actually inferential.

When he was once a human, Ye Shen once went to the botanical garden and heard from the tour guide that there is a unique plant in Africa: the baobab tree, whose main stem is hollow, and an adult baobab tree, which is capable of storing several tons of water.

"Or use the current water source, let my own roots continue to go deeper, as long as there is a root, enter the dark river, and then follow the dark river to find the real water source, such as directly connected to the sea, not only to solve the water source, but also to get endless food in the sea to devour."

This was the last method that Ye Shen thought of.

There is no doubt that the first and second approaches, which are relatively easy to implement, but cumbersome and laborious...... The last option is time-consuming, but if successful, the benefits are endless.

"System, which approach do you think is appropriate?"

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Shen was also a little undecided, so he asked the system in his mind.

"Host, you can actually look at this in a different way!"

"Huh?" Ye Shen was a little puzzled.

"Your first plan is obviously implementable, and the second plan is not bad...... The third one is relatively long-term, in the future, if you want to develop stronger in this desert, and do not leave this place, the third plan must be completed! So, there's nothing to dwell on, just unfold the three plans together. ”

"Makes sense."

Originally, Ye Shen was thinking about it seriously.

Hearing the system say this, he suddenly became enlightened.

Oh, yes!

His current mental power has reached a value of 5.1.

In addition, in the territory, only a very small amount of mental power is consumed, and the growth direction of those plants can be controlled, and they can be transformed at the same time, and the three plans are carried out at the same time, which is also an easy thing.

……

Just when the leaf god unfolded three plans at the same time, the roots of the plant were under his control.

When it began to grow in an orderly and regular manner, on the helicopter in the airspace not far away, the pilot in the flight suit directly stared at the round eyes.

"Yes, there's a situation, oh my God, what's that?"

He shouted.

This helicopter uses the most advanced radar technology in the United States...... At the same time, thousands of times more high-definition cameras are installed on it.

At this moment, what is shown on the screen is a clear pool,

and a big tree standing next to it, like a humanoid tree.

There were also several tender green leaves on the shoulders of the tree......

If you are in an ordinary place, you will not find it strange to see a tree that looks like a human shape.

But this is the depths of the desert, and all around is the endless yellow sand.

On top of that, at a distance of less than three hundred meters from the tree, there were several backpacks used by members of the expedition.

Such a picture.

Not to mention how weird it is......
