"Ah, the Great Lord has finally come to life~" A slender figure sat in the water and stretched.

"Pampered," Ella snorted disdainfully on the side.

"Yes, how noble is the status of this great lord, and his skin is still so good, how can he not take good care of it?" The female elf deliberately stroked her shoulder lightly with her hand, "Oops~ That's right, female barbarian, I remember if you Nord people have a tradition of male and female bathing, that scene, I will wash your footwater, and you will wash my footwater, it is really harmonious~" The female elf exclaimed in a funny tone.

"There is no such tradition at all, we Nords have only one tradition, and that is to hone our will and fighting skills in a difficult environment, which is the basis for our survival, as for the rest, it is all made up!" Ella denied it.

"Oh, so it's just a phenomenon and not a tradition, ah, this great lord understands~" The female elf nodded seriously.

"You~" Ella choked, stood up angrily, turned and walked away, and then found a place to sit down, "Now you don't have to worry about me using your footwater!" ”

The female elf was still a little proud, but suddenly she froze, and it seemed that that it was the source, so she quickly got up and chased after her.

Jing Anbo is not a stagnant water, the source is the slow flow of living water between the crevices in the rock wall, and then there are several similar crevices at the bottom of the water on the other side as outlets.

"Have you noticed that it seems that the water here is cooler~" Leia took the initiative to break this childish move of preempting the upper class to take a bath.

……

"Huh?" Lin Ze was working on how the snake girl returned to the surface from the underworld, and a certain little white plush that didn't open her eyes was constantly gouging something at Lin Ze's feet, okay, Leia didn't bring the little guy over in the bath, it was better to be here than to run away without anyone watching.

There are many ways to go back, and the fastest and most trouble-free is undoubtedly to use the special ability of plants to make a passage from the ground to the surface, if this method goes well, it only takes a few days to achieve the effect, and you can also not delay the trip to the sister city.

A thin and tough root is drilling up in the rock formation, which is about to grow to the limit, and has not yet reached the ground, Lin Ze reluctantly took back the root of the plant, the root length of the deep flower can be more than 100 meters, it is not enough, what kind of plant should be replaced? If you can't detect the specific situation, Lin Ze can't blindly dig a hole, this is underground, and it will be dangerous if you accidentally collapse it.

"Woo~" A cheerful call came from the little plush at his feet, and then after a moment, Lin Ze immediately felt that his shoes were wet.

Damn, Lin Ze's first reaction was to urinate on his shoes, he quickly looked down, only to see that a large pool of stagnant water had gushed out at his feet, which was soaking the surface of his feet and spreading along the ground, and the source of the stagnant water was the small hole dug out by the small plush at his feet, this hateful little thing, let you dig a hole casually, leak! Lin Ze saw that the little guy was lying on the edge of the hole he had dug and licking the clear water that flowed out, and his little tail flicked around happily.

"Quick! Plug that gap, don't waste it, this is Wuhua Spring! Iriel's voice sounded rapidly in his head, Lin Ze had never heard Irel so anxious, he hurriedly took away the small plush that occupied the entrance of the cave and pulled the skin of the back of his neck, blindly trying to plug the gap with stones and nearby wet mud, but unfortunately it was easy to dig out, and it was difficult to block it again, and the spring water continued to flow outward, washing away all the mud and stones.

"Use the roots of deep flowers, or other plants, quickly, Wuhua Spring is the treasure of the underground~" Iriel saw that Lin Ze was stupid, and he was even more anxious.

After a long time of scrambling, the spring finally stopped, and the poor little white stuffed licked in vain the stones and mud that had been wet with the spring, whining in sorrow.

Go~ While playing, little guy, Lin Ze rubbed the cat's head angrily, and quickly drove the little thing away, only to plug a hole, don't be dug out by the little guy again, the animal's sense of smell is extremely sensitive.

"What's it in the Blossom Spring, Iriel, how do I feel so important?" Lin Ze had time to go to popular science.

"The full name of Wuhua Spring is called the essence of all things spring, surface water, melt water, rainwater, etc., through the layers of soil and rock layers filtered, and finally converged into a general term for spring water rich in rare substances, according to the amount of rare substances rich in Wuhua Spring, it is divided into different levels, just now I felt this one through your skin, at least a fourth-order Wuhua Spring, it is already very rare."

Rare substances? Evolve! It turns out that this is the case, no wonder Ireel is so anxious, I have always heard that rare substances are the root of plant mutation and evolution, and Lin Ze is not clear about what rare substances are.

"This is not a simple evolution, if there is a fourth-order Wuhuaquan here, then it will be able to meet the needs of our It plant growth, you must know, whether it is a plant or an animal, reproduction and evolution is the most basic survival instinct, the same is true of our It symbiotic plants, the previous kind of split growth is just a means of rights and interests, low efficiency, and the new symbiotic plants that split out don't understand anything, but with the mother tree is different, with the growth of years, The symbiotic fruit of the tree can also share some of the insights and knowledge of the mother tree, which is the inheritance. ”

Sharing knowledge? In this way, it is really different from ordinary divisions, and the question is how does a tree increase its knowledge?

"The knowledge of the mother tree not only comes from the tree's own perception of nature, but also from the knowledge fed back by the descendants, which is one of the reasons why the original origin mother tree is willing to split the offspring and coexist with other intelligent beings."

Lin Ze was stunned, it turned out to be like this, no wonder, Lin Ze has always been strange, it stands to reason that in the cosmic civilization, no matter what you do, you must have a purpose, and symbiotic life can not only help the symbiotic subject evolve, but also protect the subject's spiritual power and body, but it doesn't seem to need any equivalent return, which is completely inconsistent with the laws of the universe, at first Lin Ze only thought that symbiotic life was going to evolve with the main body, which was barely a demand, and today I learned that it was the need for the child to give back experience and knowledge to the mother tree.

"Not only that, but some of the rare substances that our descendants collect that can facilitate the evolution of the mother tree also have to be separated from the mother tree," Irel further explained.

After Lin Ze listened, not only did he not mind, but also seemed to be greatly relieved, so many years of experience as a cosmic explorer, he knew very well that there had never been love for no reason, the Iter symbiotic plant was so powerful, it gave him such a great convenience, and it also had a command, but it seemed to have no desire, which violated his cognition of the universe, after Iriel's explanation, Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this reason is very sufficient, and it is extremely in line with the characteristics of plant intelligent life that cannot move at will, Therefore, if this kind of plant intelligent life wants to evolve, it naturally needs some other special methods to symbiosis with other intelligent life forms that can move at will, and share the knowledge and rare substances they have collected on the way to growth, which is reasonable.
