Chapter 128: Mother of Plants
If it had been before nuclear war, an oasis in the desert would have been inhabited by humans, but now in the last days, it has become a paradise for wild creatures.
At the center of the oasis is a small lake of five or six acres, flanked by a mound of boulders about forty meters high. The outer and both sides of the hill are weathered and connected to the surrounding desert, except for the side towards the small lake with steep slippery and mossy cliffs. There must be underground rivers here.
The moment Zhang Le arrived at the hill, he felt that there was an insect about thirty meters underground, a worm king level insect. Xue and Fei'er also felt it, their faces were not very good-looking, Xue and Fei'er's level was close to the level of the insect king, but it was a little worse. Obviously, the insects in the underground will have a certain level of suppression on them, but because they do not belong to the same species, they do not have the ability to strip them of their autonomy.
Zhang Le's information hormone network is relatively special, and can perceive the powerful existence of arthropods and reptiles, but can only control arthropods, but cannot control reptiles. Therefore, Zhang Le, who surpassed the level of the insect king, theoretically speaking, could control this insect king creature underground. However, creatures at the level of the king are different from creatures below the king of insects, and the control is also limited, and actions that go against the instincts of the creatures will not be carried out, such as suicide, self-harm, extermination of the same kind, etc.
In fact, Zhang Le doesn't like to control bugs, because every time he controls bugs, he can't help but associate the information hormone network with these bugs, and after communicating with the bugs in the hormone network, Zhang Le has an illusion that he has become more like a bug. Moreover, after connecting, whenever a tragic thing happens to a bug, he can't help but grieve, which makes Zhang Le dislike it very much.
Therefore, Zhang Le doesn't plan to communicate with the underground insects this time. However, Zhang Le still sent out a super biological coercion to drive away the insects near the habitat that night. As for other creatures, high-IQ creatures that can feel the pressure of creatures will also be temporarily shunned, and the rest are ordinary mutated creatures that are more stupid.
Although the desert is desolate, there are many kinds of creatures, and the oasis is a favorite place for desert creatures. When night comes, all kinds of mutated creatures approach the small lake in the oasis from the surrounding area, and the water is the source of life.
Flamingos begin to hunt in the lake waters. The bald eagle easily caught a half-meter-long wild mouse in the oasis and began its own dinner, which, depending on the situation, seemed to have no intention of leaving the group for the time being. In fact, after falling into the oasis, Zhang Le didn't care about the bald eagle anymore, but it didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. Gianna probably felt the idea of the bald eagle, it was very interested in Zhang Le, as for what kind of interest, Gianna couldn't feel it.
With a water source, Sandy came to the lake and turned into a hundred-meter-tall giant tree again, and Zhang Le did not forget to replenish Sandy with some white light energy. Sandy went to bed early tired, the dry climate of the desert was too uncomfortable for Sandy, and he needed to recuperate.
With the protection of Sandy's huge body, everyone relaxed a lot. After dinner and washing, everyone went up to Sandy's treetop recess to rest as usual.
Zhang Le came to the vicinity of the coastline, flew into the air, and looked for the dolphin rider for a while, but did not find it. During the day, everyone rushed from the sky, and the dolphin lost Sandy's body as a reference, probably lost. However, Zhang Le was not worried, because he had told the dolphins that Zhang Le and his party would move along the coastline.
However, Zhang Le discovered a strange phenomenon in the sea. There are a lot of marine plants in the sea, which has always been relatively clean. There are various algae and seaweeds, and they are all very large, and the color of the sea has changed from blue to colorful, but it is still mainly brown.
Back in the oasis habitat, everyone is already resting at the top of the trees. Zhang Le felt the nearby creatures again, the induction of the insect king actually disappeared, and at the same time, there were several more team leader-level insects. Although Zhang Le was a little puzzled, he was not particularly surprised, because across the soil, Zhang Le's sensing range was much smaller, maybe this insect king was afraid of Zhang Le, the super insect king, and crawled deeper.
Zhang Le also turned into a giant tree, standing opposite Sandy's giant tree across a small lake. Rather than the feeling of being incarnated as a bug, Zhang Le prefers to be a big tree.
The giant tree that Sandy incarnated into has countless tentacles that automatically protect its own safety, and once a creature climbs on Sandy's legs, Sandy's tentacles will act, throw the creature that climbs up to the side, or kill it directly with the tip of the tentacle.
The surface of the giant tree that Zhang Le incarnated was still flickering with electric arcs, preventing the approach of various creatures. The virtual roots extended to the ground, extended, and soon, the three taproots came to more than fifty meters underground, and the secondary roots passed through a narrow rock gap, Zhang Le was shocked, and a flowing underground river appeared in the induction vision of the roots. For an underground river, this is a very wide river, and even if the secondary roots grow thinner roots, they can only search for a range of twenty meters, but Zhang Le still did not sense the boundary.
The water of the underground river was sucked into the giant tree that Zhang Le had incarnated through that secondary root tendril.
"Hmmm! Very comfortable and nourishing! This...... Isn't it the plant energy that Sandy once gave herself to drink? Zhang Le felt it carefully, and his face changed.
With the sea in the distance, is it just like this into the sea that these rivers rich in plant energy are drained into the sea? No wonder the nearby sea is full of giant plants.
How precious Sandy's plant energy is, Zhang Le is naturally the first medicine to clear and restore wounds. And now, all this plant energy is flowing into the sea like no money. In addition to being distressed, he was still distressed, but unfortunately, Zhang Le only had one secondary root whisker inserted into the river, and his absorption energy was limited.
"What kind of plant are you, and how did you get here?" A deafening mental fluctuation spread to the secondary roots, and then followed the roots into Zhang Le's brain.
"This is a familiar mental fluctuation, a plant's mental fluctuation, that is, the one who is talking to me below is also a plant, just like Sandy. However, judging from the mental fluctuations, the level of this plant is probably far superior to Sandy's level. Sandy is a super creature level, so this plant ......" Zhang Le didn't dare to think about it.
A cloud of golden liquid came upstream along the underground river to Zhang Le's roots, and then slammed into Zhang Le's virtual roots. Zhang Le's secondary root whiskers became thick and long, as if he had taken a strong pill, and he became visible. The secondary roots grew along the underground river, and finally at about 300 meters upstream, a huge golden algae plant was "seen". It had only a large thick leaf and a cluster of golden roots stuck in a crack in the stone. In fact, this plant is not big, the leaves are only about three square meters, but the strong botanical atmosphere emitted makes Zhang Le, who has turned into a giant tree, feel that this plant is incomparably huge, vast and unfathomable.
"I'm a seaweed seaweed seaweed, swaying with the waves, and then I came here. Who are you? Zhang Le really couldn't explain his origins, and, to be honest, Zhang Le didn't know what kind of plant he was.
"Seaweed? I know this thing. As for me, I don't know what I am, but all plants are supposed to be descendants of me and my companions. I can feel my shadow in any plant. As for you, there seems to be a little shadow as well. "The spiritual fluctuations of the golden plant are still strong, and Zhang Le's head is about to explode, but this news makes Zhang Le's head explode even more.
"Why did you become this color?" Zhang Le had a lot of questions to ask, but he couldn't sort out a logic, so he could only ask a question casually.
"I don't know, I lived for a long, long time, and then I fell asleep for a long, long time, and when I woke up again, I found myself like this, and it was in the dark without sunlight." The golden plant replied.
"I'll take you out!" Zhang Le let out mental fluctuations.
"No, I don't want to move, since you are also a plant and my descendant, I will give you these things, my body is limited, and I can't bear more energy." The golden plant's spiritual fluctuations had just ended, and clumps of golden energy overflowed from its body. This is also plant energy, but much higher than Sandy's plant energy level.
"I'm tired again, I'm glad to wake up this time and see a powerful offspring, I'm going to sleep! Goodbye, kid! "The golden plant turned from a dazzling golden to a dark gold, and the presence of the plant could no longer be felt. The plant energy in the river is also gradually disappearing.
Zhang Lefa, who withdrew his roots, was flustered for a while, and he didn't have time to feel the changes in his body, so he directly woke up the sleeping Sandy.
"My God, the plant that flows with golden liquid, you have met the mother of plants, which is the highest level of plant evolution." Sandy's mental fluctuations have always been soft-spoken, but he didn't expect that this time, like that golden plant, it emitted a mental fluctuation that made people's heads explode.
"Okay, I'll give you a little, most of it has been absorbed by me, and there is still a little left." Zhang Le handed the last small ball of golden liquid to Sandy's tentacles.
"Golden color is the highest level of biological evolution, including golden animals and golden plants, you fake super creature, don't understand anything, I know it from my memory from the day I became a super creature!" Sandy has never despised Zhang Le, this is the first time.
