When he came to the place where Momo found the corpses of silkworm moths, Shelley's first attraction was not the corpse of the silkworm moth, but a giant tree, and the corpses of these silkworm moths were distributed under this giant tree. This giant tree is already thousands of years old, with a circumference of nearly 20 meters and a height of nearly 30 meters.

With it as the center, the outer mulberry tree becomes, the younger it becomes, which means that it is the mother of this mulberry forest, and the surrounding mulberry trees are all its offspring. It's no wonder that these silkworm moths concentrate on this tree to lay eggs.

"What a beautiful ancient mulberry, if this was a priceless treasure in a previous life, it must be protected." While Shelley sighed, his heart was a little itchy, "I really want to take it back with the tree!" ”

This idea is definitely unrealistic, to transplant such a big and ancient tree, not to mention that no one in this world can do it, even if it is placed in the previous life, it does not have this technology. And even if there is technology, few people dare to touch it.

As far as Shelley knew, in order to protect the ancient tree, the official could even build a conservation garden for it, or make a detour for it alone when the road was built. If it's a little broken, it's a sky-high ticket.

Abandoning this idea, Shelley walked around the giant tree, examined the corpses of the silkworm moths on the ground, and finally determined that the giant tree must be sprinkled with silkworm eggs, and this amount may not be something that a few of them can take away in a single trip.

"Hey~ It's too high to climb up." After a few attempts, she still couldn't get up, so she had no choice but to let Owen go up the tree, "Their eggs are all laid on the leaves, and they are still easy to find, help me take one off." ”

Owen jumped a few times, and the man was already in the branches, and in a few moments, he jumped down with a leaf the size of a basin.

Shelley took a look, and sure enough, there was a dense egg in the middle of the leaf, the eggs were very healthy, and it seemed that the environment here was so good that their survival rate was also very high. And the leaves of this ancient mulberry in his hand are far larger and fuller than the leaves of other mulberry trees around, which is undoubtedly very nutritious for the newborn silkworm baby.

This made Shelley think that she should take all the eggs back. But the silkworm species here are obviously very dependent on this ancient tree, and even if she can raise them after bringing them back with her silkworm raising skills, it is likely not to be as nutritious as they obtained after being born on this ancient tree. The reason why their cocoons can grow so big and well, this ancient tree must also play a very important role.

It is definitely unrealistic to remove the ancient tree directly, and you can use ordinary mulberry trees to raise it and I don't know if it can grow as well as here, and you won't know if you don't actually operate it.

Judging from the degree of drying of the silkworm moth carcasses in this area, Shelley roughly judged that they should have been dead for about a week, and the silkworm eggs were already very dark in color. According to the birth cycle of silkworms, they are almost ready to hatch.

It takes about two weeks after birth to form a cocoon, and at this time she also has to prepare some work to attract bees, and then come here again.

"It seems necessary to make a comparison." Shelley, who had made a judgment, carefully rolled the mulberry leaves in his hand and put them in his bag, and called Nika, who was picking trees, over.

"Huh? Don't you want these tree species? ”

"Don't pick the few trees, go and pick some of the seeds from this ancient tree. We need to compare the cocoons we raise with the cocoons that come out of the cocoons here, so that we can make a choice later. ”

"Oh~Okay." Nika threw away the seeds she had just picked and jumped into the old tree.

The physical fitness of "......" is really enviable.

Having said that, this is only less than two kilometers into the forest, and there are already so many gains, Nika and Momo's satchels are already full, although the target is not full, but this result has already made Shelley very satisfied.

"The Border Forest is borderlands, if I develop it......" shook his head, the idea was good, but for now, it was too whimsical. Let's honestly bring Wule Town up first, "Momo, let's take ......"

Before Shelley could finish speaking, he was covered by Momo's mouth, and he glanced at Owen with a frightened expression, and the other party immediately realized that there was danger approaching. So he immediately picked up Shelley by the waist and jumped into the ancient tree with Momo.

"What's wrong?" Nika, who was on top first, asked in a whisper.

Owen shook his head and looked at Momo, after all, he had discovered something.

Mo Mo slowly opened his eyes and said with a look of horror: "There is an extremely fast thing coming towards us, and that is not at all the speed that ordinary animals can have. ”

As he spoke, he carefully brushed aside the leaves and let the crowd look in one direction. Because the ancient mulberry tree is very tall, it is also possible to see it from a distance. They saw from afar something disturbing the silence of the forest, and the insects and birds were constantly startling, and the commotion was still approaching them at a very fast pace. Eventually, the commotion stopped near a river, about five hundred meters away.

With Shelley's eyesight, she was not strong enough to see things five hundred meters away, but even so, she was still frightened by the figure that came out of the woods, it turned out to be a wolf-like creature that was larger than the tiger in her previous life.

"It's a Demonic Beast...... Owen whispered, "Your Highness Princess, don't worry, this is a Demonic Beast called the Wind Wolf, and it is not my opponent." ”

"You fought it?"

"Well, for those noble lords to admire......"

"Uh...... All right. Shelley looked at the figure from a distance and said a little strangely, "How could a demonic beast come to the outskirts of the forest?" ”

As soon as they said that, they knew why. After seeing that figure appear, he trembled and walked towards the river in front of him, but he didn't take a few steps before he fell.

"It's hurt!" As an animal keeper, Shelley knew what was going on right away, and an inexplicable sense of responsibility arose, and she said to Owen, "Take me there." ”

Nika clung to her, "No, Your Highness Princess, it's too dangerous. ”

"That's right, Your Highness, that's a magical beast, one will be eaten if you're not careful."

Shelley looked at Owen: "I said, take me!" ”

Owen shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry Your Highness, I can't put you in danger. ”

Shelley was a little angry, and asked with a serious expression, "You mean, in the face of an injured demonic beast, you can't protect me?" Owen, you just said it wasn't your opponent and you lied to me? ”

"This ......"

"If that's the case, what more power knights do I need? Can I still give you my life? ”

Shelley's words left the three of them speechless, and they couldn't refute it.

"I see." Owen was relieved and picked up Shelley, "I'm here to take you over, and I will never let any danger hurt you." ”

Being caught off guard by the princess, Shelley subconsciously hugged his neck, his heart was racing, hearing his words, Shelley smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, so that we can call the knight, let's go." ”
