Chapter 182: Thousand-year-old dryad

In the eyes of others, this mimicry ability of the dryad is very chicken. On animals, there are many people who have such mimicry abilities, such as dead leaf butterflies that disguise themselves as dead leaves, stick insects that disguise themselves as branches, and so on.

But people in this world don't know that the camouflage of this animal is not that they find it fun, but that it evolved with a strong sense of purpose. Some are for hiding from predators, some are for fox and tiger power, and some are for hunting.

Therefore, this mimicry of the dryad naturally has their unique purpose, and this purpose must be unusual, otherwise their mimicry will not evolve to the extent that it can be absolutely mimicked.

First of all, they want to learn to simulate a large number of trees, and they don't have to be in contact with real objects to do so. Instead, they can simulate the forms they want, which means that they can even change into plant forms that never existed, given enough reference data.

Musang said that he would only change into a pine tree, which meant that among the trees that existed, he would only change into a pine tree. But as long as he is allowed to be, he can become whatever he wants.

It's just that these dryads in front of them haven't tried, after all, once they use their abilities, humans will punish them and deal with them, just a little fire can make them admit it.

In this way, their ability is very terrifying, for Shelley, who has a very rich biological knowledge reserve, it is equivalent to using them to reproduce a large number of vegetation that has not yet been discovered by themselves, or directly designing a vegetation that has never existed.

The same ability to act on plants, Nika's catalytic ability and hybrid fusion ability are only based on the existing plants. The Dryad's abilities are the complete opposite, although they can't speed up the growth and evolution of plants, they can directly create something out of nothing.

Although this ability can only be transformed into a tree-like plant, it doesn't matter, Shelley can write entirely new trees. For example, watermelons and potatoes that originally grew in the ground, let them grow on trees. Don't think that this kind of thing is impossible, in the last world, this kind of technology has already appeared.

It doesn't matter if the mimic is not good at first, there is also Nika's ability to tinker later. Of course, in order to fill all the vegetation she wanted to achieve, it would definitely not be enough to have a few dryads in front of her, because it would take months to mimic a single type of tree.

Shelley doesn't waste that much time, just like the Smurfs, she needs a lot of dryads to join her crew. And now, she jumped at an opportunity to realize that idea.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you said that the huge Gusang is a dryad? Really? I remember that the tree was more than a thousand years old. ”

Nika couldn't believe that she had seen the Gusan with her own eyes. I really couldn't associate it with the withered, thin dryads in front of me.

The dryads, including Mu Sang, were also unbelievable, how could there be people of the same clan who had grown for more than a thousand years, if they really existed, then Qi was not their ancestor?

At the beginning, in order to make money, Shelley started a silk business, and successfully found silkworm seedlings that grew very well in the outer part of the border forest. However, at that time, in addition to silkworm seedlings, the mulberry forest of very good quality also attracted Shelley's attention, especially the ancient mulberry standing in the center.

Thousands of years have passed, and this ancient mulberry is not only still vibrant, but the quality of the branches and leaves that grow on its body is also surprisingly good, so good that silkworm moths lay their eggs directly on its body.

At the beginning, she also brought back some ancient mulberry seeds, which allowed Nika to catalyze the first generation of mulberry trees, and the quality was also very good. With such a high-quality food supplement, the silkworm moth business that Ah Sei is in charge of is called a smooth sail. Even faster than Shelley had expected. Cow Bar Literature Network

The first generation of mulberry trees is so good, and the ancient mulberry tree as the mother tree is even more amazing. Because of this, Shelley has always been very fond of that Gusan. Pointing to a day when a capable superhuman can transplant it over. Now, it seems, there is no need for such trouble.

"I originally thought it was very strange, if such an ancient tree was just alive, it was not strange, but after a thousand years, it could still be full of such amazing vitality, it would be very strange. And after listening to Mu Sang's description of the Dryad Clan, although it is not 100%, I think this possibility is very large, because only in this way can we explain why there is such an existence. ”

"But Your Highness Princess, if that Gu Sang is really a dryad, then it's unlikely that we'll transplant it, right? After all, it depends on whether he agrees or not. ”

"If he wasn't a dryad, the transplantation would be very, very difficult, and if he wasn't careful, he would be damaged, and even if he was transplanted, it would be even more difficult if he didn't adapt to the soil. It is a great sin for such a thousand-year-old tree to fall in my hands. However, if he was a dryad, the above worries would not be needed at all. And as long as there are channels of communication, then things can be talked about slowly. Musang, what would you think if this thousand-year-old dryad joined me? ”

Mu Sang shrunk his neck, not knowing what the purpose of Shelley's question was, so he could only honestly return: "If such an old ancestor really exists and joins your command, it must mean that you have his approval, and then our current Dryad clan will definitely recognize you." ”

Shelley smiled, yes, this was the answer she wanted to hear. She wants a large number of dryads to help her, but the dryads are very difficult to encounter because of their mimicking abilities. If there is such a big man here, he will definitely find a way to solve this problem for himself.

"Very good, you have a good rest during this time, and come back with me to find that Gusan. Owen, take these dryads to the superpower's apartment in a while, this amount can be arranged to come down. ”

“……”

"Owen?" Without a response, Shelley raised an eyebrow.

Vader, who was standing next to him, hurriedly poked Owen, who was in a daze: "Captain! Her Royal Highness called you! ”

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry Your Highness Princess, I was a little ...... just now."

Seeing that he looked absent-minded, Shelley sighed: "I said that if you haven't recovered, you will rest for a while, you have to be reluctant." And I'm not saying, that pattern on your chest, I'll figure out what's going on, you don't have to worry. It just so happens that after I've met the other two aliens, you can take them to the superpower's apartment with you, and take a rest for yourself. ”

"Yes, I'm worried."

"Alright, Barbie, take me to the next alien."

"Next up is the Feather Clan, please here."

Following behind Shelley, Owen grimaced. His face was full of guilt, if nothing else, because he had lied to Shelley about the pattern on his chest. And this lie, he can't uncover it yet.
