Li Zhufeng went to the Sword Mantis Kingdom, there were two roads.

The safe path is to detour along the Jin River, which is very long and a waste of time.

Banbu and Lord Azumi take a dangerous path across the Brown Bee Kingdom.

The Brown Hornet Tribe will not embarrass the Mantis Tribe Warriors, and Banbu can pretend to be the Night Gold Mantis Tribe and travel together, being intercepted several times along the way, but they have all been successfully fooled.

Gallop over the mountains.

Turning over a large mountain range, there is a sea of bamboo in front of you.

The cold wind blows, and the blue waves rise and fall.

"Lord Banbu, let's enter the boundary of Spruce County, and in front of us is the natural bamboo sea of Spruce County."

The lord of Hongdou said with a point: "In our Sword Mantis Kingdom, in the natural jungle, there are many large and small wild bamboo forests. It's a pity that I don't understand your Li Zhufeng's technique of cultivating bamboo seeds, so I can't manage it. ”

Bamboo?

It doesn't seem to be the same as I guessed.

Banbu asked the Nth time: "Did the spruce mantis king find the new bamboo species?" Or is it a special derivative? ”

The lord of Hongdou said: "I don't know, I don't know, let's hurry up, get to the place, you can ask the Spruce Mantis King in person." ”

"......" Banbu was speechless and said, "Then let's hurry up." ”

Li Zhufeng's bamboo sea has dragon bamboo and hemp bamboo distortions, except for the holy bamboo with a life-extending enhancement effect, all other bamboo species are decorative foils.

If it is a certain new bamboo species, for Li Zhufeng, it is dispensable, and you can consider spending some rough stones to buy it back. The lion opens its mouth? Then don't talk about it.

If it is an aberration of a certain bamboo species...... Banbu hoped that this was it, but he was a little afraid that it was this.

……

Fly for a day and cross the sea of bamboo.

After another day and a half of flying, I landed in the sea of silver fir trees, crawled along the plank road for half a day, and finally arrived at the place.

A vast solitary peak, towering like a cloud.

About 20 kilometers away, there is a large crumbling and roaring river called the "Nu River".

The mountain peak is called "Silver Fir Peak", and with it as the center, it is a rare plain terrain in the south with a radius of nearly 100 kilometers. This is the famous "Silver Fir Tree Sea" in the eastern region of the Ten Thousand Continents.

The fir tree is a large tree species with a large number of native species, from the tropical zone in the south to the cold temperate zone in the north, from the low valley to the towering mountain peak, the corresponding fir tree species can always be found.

All native fir species are naturally high-quality species, and there are two top species of cedar, namely the Scaly Leaf Acacia and the Silver Fir. Before the Spruce Mantis King, the silver fir was the iconic plant of the Knife Mantis tribe.

The sea of silver fir trees is dominated by various derivative species of silver fir, interspersed with a small number of other fir species, as well as close relatives of pine and cypress species. It has always been a first-class rich county in the Sword Mantis Kingdom and even the Continent of All Nations.

There is also a vast lake at the foot of Silver Fir Peak, where Spruce County's Exchange Square is built.

At this time in winter, there are still two clusters of turquoise in the lake, which are lotus leaves in the cold wind.

Lotus leaves that don't wilt in winter? It must have been a God-given seed.

Banbu separated a wisp of spiritual power and probed to the bottom of the lake, and sure enough, there were lotus roots at the bottom of the lake, and a large number of lotus flowers were planted in the lake.

"Lord Hongdou, spruce county still cultivates lotus?"

"This ......" Lord Hongdou shook his tentacles and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I only followed Lord Junbai once." ”

Banbu didn't bother to ask the idiot any more questions.

When entering the Silver Fir Tree Sea, a warrior guarding the Sea of Trees passed the news to the Silver Fir Peak. At this time, a county lord-level sword mantis warrior who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time noticed the arrival of outsiders and was hurrying over.

"This must be the Fire Cockroach Kingdom, the Red Cockroach Clan, Li Zhufeng, and the Banbu County Lord, right?"

"Yes." Zebrabu replied,.

"That's right." Lord Azuki replied, while introducing himself: "My name is Lord Azuki. ”

"Oh, I know, the first vein of the Green Mantis King, the Red Bean Mountain Range." The sword mantis warrior who arrived introduced himself, "My name is Yinshan. ”

Silver fir!

The Red Bean County Lord's tentacles twitched, and he suddenly looked a little cramped.

The tentacles of the zebra cloth are also inadvertently trembling: the spruce god-given seed is an unexpectedly born "divine product" god-given seed, before the spruce cockroach king, spruce county should be called "silver fir county", with a long heritage, and the title of the lord of each generation of silver fir peak is the unified "silver fir mantis king".

The name of the spruce god-given seed was too large, so the name of the county was temporarily changed. After the Spruce Mantis King, it will definitely change back.

The title of "Silver Fir County Lord" has already said a lot: with a silver fir god-given seed, the next lord of the silver fir peak who was chosen by the Spruce Mantis King.

The county lord of Yinshan said: "Lord Banbu, please follow me up the mountain." ”

"Please!" Banbu said politely.

There is a trail to Silver Fir Peak in Exchange Square, stroll to it.

The Red Bean County Lord followed closely behind Banbu, but was stopped by the Silver Shanjun County Lord.

"Lord Hongdou, please rest at the bottom of the mountain." The Lord of the Silver Fir County explained simply: "The Spruce Mantis King has entered the aging period, and he can't move at will, he doesn't see other warriors, and he doesn't receive outsiders, so this time there is a particularly important matter to negotiate with the Lord of Banbu. ”

"Uh......" The fiery energy in the head of the Red Bean County Lord was suddenly extinguished, and he said in disappointment: "Okay." ”

On the way here, it has been dreaming of climbing the Silver Fir Peak, meeting the Spruce Cockroach King, and when it returns, it will be able to show off in front of other warriors of the same clan.

Insects also have classes, but they are not so clearly divided. How can a low-level junior lord be qualified to meet the mantis king who is at the top of the kingdom's pyramid? Banbu had expected this to be the result, and he couldn't help but pity it.

……

Mountain.

In the middle of a dense cedar forest.

Under an ancient spruce tree.

An old mantis warrior with a faint turbid twilight aura.

Contrary to rumors from the outside world, the spruce mantis king survives between 700 and 800 years old, and has eaten longevity peaches to prolong its life, and has just entered the senescence period.

The trunk of this tree is more than a meter in diameter, and the ancient tree at the end of the canopy is the seed of spruce gods! Like the dragon and the nine-leaf red lotus spirit, the Spruce Dryad has a high level of intelligence, overcoming the nature of plants, and will not resist or be hostile to creatures that are sure to be no danger.

"Fire Cockroach Kingdom, Red Cockroach Clan, Li Zhufeng, Banbu, I've seen the Spruce Mantis King!" Madara greets, secretly runs the Heavenly Eye, and checks the soul.

Like the Immortal Cockroach King seen before, the Spruce Mantis King's soul showed no signs of aging.

Looking at the spruce god-given seed, in the same way, the soul of the spruce tree spirit shows no signs of aging. The bad thing is that the spruce tree spirit is keenly aware of being spied on, and the spruce mantis king passes on a wisp of thought.

The Spruce Mantis King said leisurely: "This is the 'Heavenly Eye' of the Tianmu Magnolia of Chiwu Mountain, and your Li Zhufeng really has a top-level exchange with Chiwu Mountain." ”

"Hehe...... Banbu quickly put away Tianmu and smiled awkwardly: "It's a little bit of trade." ”

The Spruce Mantis King asked, "I heard that you Li Zhufeng and Chiwu Mountain have joined forces to open up a bamboo sea and plant bamboo, and communicate with each other?" ”

Banbu replied, "So to speak. ”

The Spruce Mantis King waved his tentacles, pointed to the earth and rock flat opposite him, and said, "Please!" ”

He also commanded: "Yinshan, you go to the mountaintop warehouse to get some pine cones and come to entertain the lord of Banbu." ”

Yinshan said: "Yes! "Go up the hill with that.

Banbu hurriedly asked, "Spruce Mantis King, I heard that you have found a special bamboo species?" I don't know which one? ”

The Spruce Mantis King ignored Banbu's question and continued to ask, "Banbu County Lord, you Li Zhufeng and Chiwu Mountain have united and found Longzhu?" And cultivated a high-quality bamboo species that can bloom and bear fruit every year, giant dragon bamboo? ”

"Yes." It's not a secret, Zebra readily admits.

The Spruce Mantis King said: "It seems that the dragon bamboo was found by your Li Zhu Peak, and the cultivation technology is also owned by your Li Zhu Peak, and in the end, a giant dragon bamboo god-given seed will definitely be born, and it will fall on Li Zhu Peak." Divine products? If it is, then it should be a god that strengthens the power. ”

Banbu didn't answer.

The Spruce Mantis King waited for a few seconds and continued to ask, "Li Zhufeng's Sacred Bamboo should have been cultivated from the 'Sacred Sound Bamboo', right?" I heard that the dry season is used to stimulate bamboo flowering? The hybrid method of cultivating rice by the ant tribe of the Continent of Nations was used. ”

The bamboo seeds sold by Li Zhufeng and the rice seeds that have been circulated on the Wanguo Continent have the phenomenon of trait separation, which is easy to guess, and there is nothing to hide.

Banbu replied, "Yes." ”

"Hybrids are superior to any of the original species, and they can bloom year after year, and there should be a lot of technical complexity in between. ”

Banbu replied, "It's complicated. ”

The Spruce Mantis King asked, "What if we want to learn from the Spruce County?" ”

"Spruce County is located between the two rivers of Jinnu, with plenty of water and moisture, and there is no dry season." Madara said: "As you guessed, Li Zhufeng has a 'god' dragon bamboo, and it is impossible to sell the technology of cultivating bamboo to the outside world. In addition, we have also reached an agreement with Chiwu Mountain, even if I am willing to exchange it, the head of Chiwu Mountain will definitely not agree. ”

The Spruce Mantis King had long expected it and asked, "What about the ordinary holy bamboo?" This is a hybrid bamboo species that you Li Zhufeng exclusively mastered, right? Selling some ordinary seeds shouldn't be subject to the restrictions of Chiwu Mountain, right? ”

"It depends on the specific amount, a few small amounts, then it doesn't matter." Ban said: "The ordinary holy bamboo breeds life seeds, and the condensed bamboo fruit has a little life-prolonging effect, and it has long been listed as the iconic plant of Li Zhufeng, and it will not be sold on a large scale." ”

It just so happened that the lord of Yinshan County came down from the mountain carrying a spider silk bag.

The Spruce Mantis King beckoned, "Silver Shan, you take the Banbu County Lord to the back mountain first." ”

"Okay." The Yinshan County Lord stepped forward quickly, put down his things, and said, "Banbu County Lord, please come with me." ”

The height of the common silver fir is generally more than 80 meters.

The mountains are densely forested.

Walking on the ground, the field of vision is extremely limited.

There must be a number of wild trees in the Silver Fir Peak. The winding path in the mountains should have deliberately avoided these god-given seeds.

I turned around and came to a small piece of flat land about the mountainside.

A small bamboo forest that has been carved out for some time.

Shengyin bamboo? Lei Yinzhu? Or belly bamboo?

The image characteristics of these three "pot-bellied" bamboo species are too obvious, and Banbu can roughly recognize them at a glance, and if you look closely, it is difficult to confirm which one it is for a while.

The lord of Yinshan County said: "Chiwu Mountain has always entrusted the caravan to collect bamboo seeds at a high price in the two continents of Wan Clan and Wan Guo. We have a lot of bamboo in the Sword Mantis Kingdom, and every year there are little warriors who enter the mountains and forests to look for it. ”

"This is a high-quality derivative of the belly bamboo that was discovered by accident."

Banbu stepped forward and examined it carefully.

The bamboo pole is thicker than the ordinary belly bamboo, and in terms of diameter, it should be 2 to 3 cm larger. The height of bamboo poles is generally more than 6 meters, and the highest height can reach 7 meters, which is about 2 to 3 meters higher than ordinary belly bamboo.

The whole is an enlarged version of the ordinary belly bamboo.

Not only high-quality derivatives, but also super-high-quality derivatives!
