Chapter 815: Wood Elemental Plane (1)
Chapter 815: Wood Elemental Plane (1)
We were standing in the grass under the giant trees.
The roots of the giant tree protruding from the ground are taller than the big tree of Elf Street at the corner of Pentagon Street, and it is covered with small grasses, shrubs, and dwarf trees, like a small forest.
The trunk of the giant tree is six or seven hundred meters high, the crown at the top is also three or four hundred meters thick, and the trunk diameter is almost more than three hundred meters.
Before I could sigh, I realized that it was just a "small tree".
Because there are still giant trees two or three thousand meters high behind us, like one after another towers of sages, reaching into the sky, covering the sky and the sun.
This is the Wood Elemental Plane.
The air was filled with suffocating wood energy, as well as oxygen.
As for the rest of the energy, it's not that it's none, it's very thin.
"Won't you get drunk?" Leo said, "Breathe slowly!" ”
I actually realized it as soon as I finished the teleportation, held my breath, and said, "It's not just oxygen, it's also high in water." ”
Ricardo looked at the tree, then at his hands, and said, "I feel that my body is eroding." ”
I said, "The oxidation effect is intensifying, and even the alloy is in danger of rusting, so if you open the shield, you can also open the concealment technique." ”
Ricardo nodded.
The magician's concealment technique, which is engraved on the scroll, can provide a concealment effect for a certain period of time, but the effect is certainly not as good as that of a thief assassin who is proficient in this way, while Ricardo's concealment technique, which is engraved on the inside of the body, is relatively long-lasting, as for the effect, it depends on his own proficiency.
As for me, a little control of the breathing rate will do.
"In the future, I can just come here to get oxygen for experiments," Leo said, "and I thought it would be difficult to find materials to make oxygen......
I said, "Potassium permanganate?" No magician can make that thing, right? However, the cost of coming here to get oxygen is too high. ”
"We open a channel by ourselves, just like the energy pool, the energy is inexhaustible," Leo said, "They haven't realized the value of the elemental plane, especially the plane of Mu Lei Bing, at most they directly take the pure energy of the earth, wind, water and fire plane, which is simply the biggest waste of raw materials." ”
"New plans?" I asked.
"It's not a new plan, it's already there, and now it's just confirmed." Leo said, "Let's go and see the so-called soil of life, which reminds me of the soil in Chinese mythology." ”
The description of the mission book is as follows: "The wood element plane is the paradise of plants, and the sunlight and water required for plant growth are very ordinary, only the soil is the most critical factor, the soil of the wood element plane is extremely fertile, even if it is brought back to the main plane, it has extremely strong fertility, but it is often exhausted after a period of time, only the soil of life can provide a steady stream of fertility to promote plant growth, and the soil of life has a strong nourishing effect, which can improve the fertility of the surrounding ordinary soil, so, Where there is the soil of life, the land will always be as fertile as new, but unfortunately, the soil of life is also relatively rare in the wood element plane, the elves of the main plane have a piece of land filled with the soil of life, and the same is true of the Hill Alliance in the forest plane, which is the key to their cultivation of the tree of life and various tree people, and in the wood element plane, there are often savage and ferocious ancient elves or monsters guarding the soil of life, and it is extremely difficult to collect. ”
"Combined with the description of the mercenary union chick, I think that these primitive elves are likely to be the prototypes of the elf race, however, the goddess of the moon, the goddess of life and the goddess of the forest have not greatly transformed them, and can only be said to promote evolution, directly allowing them to cross from primitive people to modern people," Leo said, "Compared to the orcs, it is almost impossible to transform, but it is understandable that the strength of these three sisters is relatively weak, and the god system composed of other gods who follow them is relatively weak, If it weren't for the more competitive spirit of the elves, they might have been reduced to ordinary neutral gods. ”
"There's no hurry," I said, "and let's find out where the land of life is." ”
"It's a Ricardo's thing." Leo said.
"Did you throw everything at him?" I said, "Does this workout really work?" ”
"Give your child plenty of opportunities to practice." Leo said.
Ricardo had no opinion: "I think we should go to the top of the tree and have a look." ”
"You lead the way," I said, "and I'm in charge of dealing with critical situations." ”
Thousands of meters tall trees, not to mention the rugged skin, the hardness is comparable to that of rocks, otherwise it would have been crushed by itself long ago.
Climbing a big tree is like climbing the canyon wall of the megalithic forest plane, which requires sufficient wind element to support, but the wind element here is not so abundant, which is a little difficult for Ricardo.
We were like two tiny insects, climbing the bark of the tree and crawling little by little to the place near the canopy, standing on a branch with a diameter of more than ten meters and looking down.
Below, there is not a vast expanse, but more large trees.
Looking up slightly, there are many more giant trees that are much taller than this giant tree.
The entire plane seems to be a forest composed of these giant trees, and between the giant trees and the giant trees is an ordinary "forest" that is quite normal in the main plane.
To put it another way, we are like small insects shrunk to a few millimeters in a normal-sized forest.
I looked up and looked at the leaves of the giant tree, and any one of them was the size of a large football field. It is estimated that it will be a disaster if it falls......
"I need a telescope," Ricardo said, "and it's too far beyond my field of vision." ”
I said, "Do you remember how to do it?" ”
Ricardo said, "What is in the book, now only needs some simple material." ”
We walked more than 500 meters along the branch, and when we reached the end of the branch, we were helpless to see a cluster of leaves the size of a basketball court and several meters thick.
Ricardo drew his long sword and tried to cut off a piece, but found that even the leaves were extremely tough, although not as strong as black copper wood, but also much stronger than ordinary leather armor, so he had to attach the wind element to the blade of the sword, and it was quite difficult to dig out a small square.
Then, he took out the dagger of jealousy, cut the square into a cylinder, and finally opened it with a spear and made a cylinder for a telescope.
"This craft still needs to be honed...... Leo said, "In fact, many craftsmen cut cylinders in half and hollowed them out and put them together." ”
Ricardo clearly heard it and said, "I'll look for an opportunity to practice my craft." ”
In the end, he used the ice element to condense two lenses, one concave and one convex, which were mounted at both ends of the cylinder, and after several polishing, he finally completed a rough telescope that could not be adjusted for magnification.
"When the farm is built, we must produce a batch of telescopes for our own use," Leo said. ”
"Mainly, the process of glass making," I said, "as long as the glass craft spreads, they will figure it out on their own." ”
"It takes time," Leo said, "and we have the advantage of being ahead of time." ”
Ricardo held up his binoculars and looked into the distance, and a moment later, he made a discovery.
"Over there, there's a group of Elder Elves gathered," he said, "and the visual distance is forty-five kilometers." ”
"No hurry," said Leo, "to take a sample of the big trees and go back and see if the cells of the big trees are also huge, it would be interesting." ”
"This should be studied by Trist and the goblins." I say.
Ricardo wrapped up the pieces of leaves he had dug up, and dug up a piece of bark from the branch before saying, "Let's go down." ”
Leo said: "You see that we are standing at such a high place, should we take advantage of the location to reduce energy consumption?" ”
Ricardo thought for a moment and said, "So, let's go down with a paraglider?" ”
"Okay," Leo said, "to get some hands-on work on the way." ”
Ricardo walked a little further and found what appeared to be a young leaf that had sprouted freshly.
Although this young leaf is small, it is also a relatively mature leaf, with a wheel area of hundreds of square meters and a thickness of about 50 centimeters.
Ricardo used his sword to draw two obtuse triangles with a base of fifty meters long.
The young leaves are like a damp swamp, and the tender green juice oozes out when stabbed down with a sword, but at the same time, a layer of transparent viscous liquid also oozes from the wound, which seems to be the protective mechanism of the leaves.
Ricardo put away his sword, clasped his hand into the wound, and jerked it open.
"Sting!"
With the sound of water, the leaves were lifted by Ricardo in a five-centimeter-thick layer, as if the floor was spread on the ground.
It's just that under this carpet, there is a slimy green slime and dense network of veins.
Soon, Ricardo tore off the entire leaf bark.
"......Spectacular," Leo said, "from here alone a new branch of materials science can be developed, specializing in the study of the body tissues of gigantic organisms, not only the trees, but also the somatic cells of giants and so on......"
Leo was planning here, and Ricardo had already torn off another leaf bark.
At this time, the mesophyll, which has lost the protection of the epidermis, secretes more fragrant juice.
Then, I heard a "buzzing" sound in the air.
Then, there was a boundless stream of flying insects in the sky!
These flying insects are overwhelming, and at first glance, there are at least hundreds of thousands!
"Wow! What the hell is this? "Leo," the protection mechanism? ”
The insect colony approached rapidly, and I realized that their starting point seemed to be in the canopy, and I immediately understood the protection mechanism that Leo said - the most feared thing for ordinary trees is to be bitten by insects, but these flying insects nest in the canopy, and once the giant tree is damaged, it will run over, and it is obvious that the giant tree is sending a signal to the insect nest.
These flying insects are here to help the giant tree destroy us invaders!
