Chapter 51: Searching

Chen Peilin walked with difficulty behind Li Feng, and the damp and gloomy forest was very uncomfortable. There was no road at all www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, and everyone could only grope their way upstream along the riverbank. From time to time, the road will also be attacked by native creatures. Several people in the guard company have been wounded, but fortunately they are not seriously injured under the protection of the alloy armor, otherwise the casualties would have been serious. In this dense jungle, the large predators are gone, but the danger has not decreased, but has increased. Large carnivores are so large that they can be seen from a distance, and if they are detected in advance, they are basically not dangerous. But in this dense jungle, all kinds of ferocious creatures emerge one after another, and most of them are highly poisonous, even those fierce beasts outside cannot survive if they are attacked. Moreover, from time to time, a huge amphibian would rush out of the river, and open its huge mouth to drag people into the water. With a blocked line of sight, the team can only turn on the life detector to detect, but there are so many lives that they don't know which ones are dangerous, after all, not all creatures are aggressive.

Chen Peilin: They have been walking upstream from the valley along the waterfall for a week. Zhuge Wushuang's suggestion was to send two expeditions to investigate. But Chen Peilin thought about it and felt that it was better to lead the team himself. The Purple Spirit Clan has begun to gain wisdom, and it is not so easy to convince them to move into the fleet, and as the leader of the fleet, he can also appear more sincere in doing so, who knows if they are secretly observing humans. Another point is that now the fleet is stable, all the exploration missions are going according to plan, and there is nothing to do in the fleet, so it is better to come out and relax.

"President, this section is probably gone, let the landing ship stop, let's take the landing ship forward for a while." Li Feng suggested.

The landing ship is just above the team, and the team will come down to detect a certain distance whenever the forest is dense, and the rest of the time it will be observed through the observation instruments on the landing ship. The Purple Spirit Clan is also a kind of plant, in addition to its strong spiritual power, there is not much difference from ordinary plants, and the difference in appearance can only be distinguished by optical observation, and other scanning machines are simply ineffective, so this method can only be adopted for manual observation.

"If you go some distance, this forest is too dense to be visible from the landing ship, you must search carefully, if you miss it, it will be in vain." Chen Peilin wiped his sweat and said. The entire team is not wearing an alloy armor, the space shield is inductive, and it will only pop up when it encounters danger, and it is usually in standby mode.

"President, there is a discovery ahead," Wang Yongqiang, who was at the front of the team, reported. During this time, Chen Peilin stayed with them, and the people in the entire guard company were already very familiar. Wang Yongqiang was a soldier of the South China Tiger Special Forces before boarding the ship, and he was particularly good at jungle warfare.

"Let's go and see what you've found?" Chen Peilin said.

The woods grew denser and denser ahead, the sun was blocked, and many places were pitch black, but the front of the team was a dreamlike scene. In the forest, a large area of herbaceous plants is growing densely, the strange thing is that these half-human tall plants all emit green fluorescence, illuminating the dark woods, and the low shrubs more than three meters high are growing vigorously among the grasses, these plants also emit faint fluorescence, and there are huge fruits hanging on the book, exuding yellow-orange-orange light, which is very conspicuous. What's even more interesting is that the "big dragonflies" that are more than ten centimeters tall fly between these fruit trees, and several of them work together to constantly move the huge yellow fruits around.

"President, these dragonflies look like legendary forest spirits." Li Feng looked at these big dragonflies and said with a smile.

"It's not an elf, it's a dryad. This creature has been documented in many civilizations. They generally live deep in the forest, live on berries, these creatures are not very intelligent, but they are very good for the growth of plants, and they are quite good at taking care of plants. Of course, there are also some dryads who have developed their own civilizations, which are recorded in the Alliance's materials. However, they are all civilizations that have been transformed by plants. Chen Peilin said.

A little tree demon saw Chen Peilin and the others, and observed near the team curiously, seeing that the team did not harm them, he had the courage to approach the team cautiously, Chen Peilin smiled friendly and scared her to slip away, and saw that everyone leaned over without action and did not give up, blinking and watching everyone. Chen Peilin took out a piece of chocolate from the folding space and handed it to the dryad, but unfortunately he still scared it away. There was no way, Chen Peilin slowly stepped forward and put the chocolate on a leaf, then retreated, quietly looking at the little tree demon. The dryad sniffed lightly with his nose, hesitated for a while, cautiously approached the chocolate, then lay on it and licked it, shouted twice with joy, and struggled to pick up the chocolate and disappeared, which made Chen Peilin very embarrassed, thinking that he could deceive a pet, but he didn't expect to succeed. The dryad is a very intelligent little creature, and it will be very close to friendly intelligent creatures, and many civilized people like to have a dryad pet.

"Okay, stop looking, just keep going." Chen Peilin smiled and said. The guards around him also laughed, rarely saw Chen Peilin like this, I didn't expect the president to be so childlike.

Chen Peilin hadn't gone far just now, the little tree demon suddenly flew back, holding a fruit glowing with yellow light, cautiously approaching Chen Peilin, and stopped when he was two meters away from Chen Peilin, carefully guarding everyone, hesitating to approach. Chen Peilin took out another piece of chocolate and put it in his hand, and slowly approached the dryad, the dryad quickly flew back for a distance and then stopped in place, as if he had made some difficult decision, carefully put the fruit in Chen Peilin's hand, quickly picked up the chocolate, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"The little things are really interesting, they all know that they have been exchanged," Chen Peilin touched his nose and said with a smile.

"President, how can there be such intelligent creatures on such a primordial planet? Those dinosaurs are very stupid," Li Feng asked suspiciously.

"Nothing is impossible, the evolution of life is amazing, and all kinds of situations can occur." Chen Peilin said. Then a group of people continued to search forward.

Chen Peilin looked at the yellow fluorescent fruit in his hand, and gently opened the skin, revealing the crystal particles inside, like steamed rice, which was particularly full and bright, and had a sweet taste. Gently break out a piece of fruit and put it in your mouth, it is fragrant and sweet, and the taste is quite good.

"President, no, beware of poison!" Li Feng said nervously.

"It's okay, the dryad has a high affinity for plants, and generally their things are not toxic to humans, and besides, we have all been injected with super immune reagents, and some toxins have no effect. It tastes good, you can taste it too. As he spoke, Chen Peilin handed the fruit to Li Feng and motioned for him to taste one.

Li Feng put away the mask of the alloy battle armor, picked up a fruit and chewed it, nodded and exclaimed, "It's really good, it's much better than rice." ”

"Mark this place, go back and send someone to collect some, and promote planting on the agricultural ship in the future, there should be a lot of people like it. Those fluorescent grasses are called green light grass, and these fruit trees are called rice fruit trees, since we found them, of course, we named them. Chen Peilin said with a smile.

The group continued to walk upstream along the river, and by now they had walked thousands of kilometers, the river was very long, and they really didn't know when they would be able to find the Purple Spirit Clan. The little Purple Spirit Tree may not have floated from the river, or it may have been dropped by a fierce bird, Chen Peilin felt more and more that the hope of finding the Purple Spirit Clan was very slim.

"Quack!" "Chirp!" The fierce screams came from the front, and when the team approached, they found that two groups of jungle creatures were fighting for control of a fruit tree, the fruit tree was not very large, the whole body was fluorescent, and there were more than a dozen jade-like fruits growing on it, which was very tempting, and the two groups of creatures were grinning at each other, and there was a tendency to fight if they didn't agree.

"There are so many creatures fighting for it, it must be a good thing, Li Feng, take two people to pick two fruits to see." Chen Peilin looked at it and felt interesting, and said with a smile.

"President, we are here to find the Purple Spirit Tree, not to compete with animals for fruits." Li Feng reminded helplessly.

"What's this, Assistant Zhuge and I plan to back up all the animals and plants on this planet to the agricultural ship, these fruits may become the staple food of the fleet in the future, Assistant Zhuge is already working on arranging these issues, maybe the exploration team has already set off." Now that we've met, it's nothing to check it out by the way. And don't you think it's more interesting to go on an adventure? Chen Peilin said.

"It's fun to grab things from beasts? This is not a fantasy world! Li Feng didn't think angrily, but still ordered the two soldiers to step forward to pick the fruit.

When the two groups of creatures saw the human soldiers approaching, they immediately became angry, and even desperately attacked the two soldiers, but after the two soldiers used high-frequency oscillating alloy daggers to deal with several creatures, the remaining creatures scattered in a hurry and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The two soldiers picked four fruits and handed them to Chen Peilin, and then went back to guard.

"Emerald fruit? Great stuff! I didn't expect it to grow on such a primordial planet. Chen Peilin took the fruit in his hand and compared it with the database, and said in surprise.

"What is the Emerald Fruit?" Li Feng asked curiously.

"Emerald fruit, also known as intelligence fruit, is a very good thing that can increase the degree of brain development of intelligent creatures. During the Galactic Alliance, only the top characters of freedom had the opportunity to be practical, which was very rare. Only a small number of planets will grow. Chen Peilin looked at the personal terminal and said.

"That's a treasure!" Li Feng said in surprise. The intelligence of intelligent beings is related to the degree of brain development. The human brain is less than 10 percent open, and other brain regions are not used at all, and if everyone's brain is 100 percent developed, then everyone will become a genius.

"Record it, let the explorers pay attention to the jade fruit when exploring in various places, and transplant all the findings to the ecological garden of the Earth." Chen Peilin ordered.

"President, shall we continue our search?" Li Feng asked.

"Of course, how could you miss so many good things, even if you don't find the Purple Spirit Clan, it's worth it," Chen Peilin replied happily.

"President, there's a discovery ahead!" Wang Yongqiang's voice came.

Chen Peilin packed up all the jade fruits and quickly stepped forward to take a look at the situation. I saw an open area in front of me, which seemed very abrupt in this dense forest, and many purple spirit trees stood there alone, their leaves had already fallen off, and the trunks had lost their purple luster, obviously dead for a long time.

"This is the Purple Spirit Tree, so many Purple Spirit Trees, but all of them are dead." Chen Peilin looked at the forest and said sadly. If these Purple Spirit Trees survive and move to the battleship, everyone will not be afraid of the invasion of the Soul Eater in the future. It's a pity that they all died.

"These are mature purple spirit trees, although the combat ability is not strong, but the ability to escape is still there, what kind of creatures will kill these purple spirit trees?" Li Feng wondered.

"Everyone dispersed, scourping the area carefully to see if anything was found. The landing ship released its detector and scanned everything within a radius of fifty kilometers to see if it could find the surviving Purple Spirit Tree," Chen Peilin ordered. Immediately, the group quickly separated, and split up to search nearby, Li Feng still stayed by Chen Peilin's side, staring at the surroundings vigilantly, protecting Chen Peilin's safety. It wasn't until two hours later that the guards two kilometers away from here sent a message, and after seeing the images shared by the guards, Chen Peilin and Li Feng quickly rushed to their destination on a landing ship. Purple Spirit Tree, there are many Purple Spirit Trees, but there are only two purple ones, and they are very old, and the others are all pink, just like the ones I encountered before, many of them are even much smaller than the first ones, and they are simply Purple Spirit Tree seedlings.

Seeing Chen Peilin and Li Feng coming down from the landing ship, Wang Yongqiang quickly ran to Chen Peilin to report the situation he encountered. The two Purple Spirit Trees had already communicated with him, but Wang Yongqiang didn't say much, just said that he would wait for their leader to come and discuss with the Purple Spirit Tree, and then report the situation to Chen Peilin and them.

Chen Peilin walked up to the tallest purple spirit tree alone, quietly opened his heart and felt it, and found in his mind that there were many crisp whispers around him, and many different voices were communicating back and forth.

"These creatures have minds, much better than those horrible beasts......"

"They're not going to eat us too, after all, our leaves can open the ...... of the mind."

"Woo woo, it's terrible, I haven't grown up yet, I haven't metamorphosed yet, I didn't expect to die like other seniors so soon......"

"It's strange that these creatures only have two legs, and they're so small, they should be easy to deal with......"

"If only I had completed the transformation, at least I could move a little, not like I am now, I can't resist......"

…………

"I think you can understand what I'm saying now, we are a human civilization, we are from outside this world, and you are in a very bad situation, and your lives are threatened all the time. A race like you should not be in the company of wild beasts, that does not reflect your value. Come with us, go to our fleet, we will protect your safety, give you the environment to live in, give you the resources to transform and the opportunity to evolve" Chen Peilin imagined in his mind, and sketched out some scenes of the fleet in his mind, as detailed as possible, and then stood still and waited quietly for Zi Lingshu's reply.

"Patriarch Grandpa, let's leave, it's so scary here, yesterday the beasts came around the neighborhood again, and soon they will come and eat our ......"

"Won't they be eaten if they follow? Maybe they're going to keep us in captivity and eat slowly, isn't that what the beasts are? All the predecessors who succeeded in the transformation were captured by them......"

"I just heard their leaders, they don't seem to be like the beasts......"

"These are intelligent creatures that should be safer than those creatures......"

……

"What do we need to do if we go with you?" An old voice responded.

"There is an energy creature out there that is very terrible for us intelligent beings, they will feed on our souls, you are their natural enemies, and even they are very helpful to your evolution, we want you to join our fleet and drive away those terrible enemies for us. In exchange, we will give you shelter, and I promise that we will transplant you to a new environment if you ask for the right planet. Chen Peilin responded.

“…… We are willing to go with you, and we hope that you can guarantee your promise," the old purple spirit tree replied.

"Do you have any other races?" Chen Peilin asked.

"This is the last of our races, all of them have migrated in the last two hundred years, and those who have not migrated have either been imprisoned or have perished." Old Purple Spirit Tree sighed.

"What kind of creature is holding you captive? From our point of view, there are no civilized creatures on this planet other than you and those little dryads, and the rest of the creatures are just beasts that can only move on instinct. Chen Peilin wondered.

"Those creatures live underground or in caves, and rarely come out, and although they are far less than you, they are much smarter than those beasts," the old purple spirit tree responded.

"Soon our warships will come and transplant you and send you to our warships. Until then, I will leave some people behind to protect you, and you don't have to worry about your safety. By the way, we found a purple spirit tree in the valley downstream, and it was on her basis that we found you, and I think you will meet soon. Chen Peilin said.

"Wushuang, immediately send a large landing ship to my current coordinates, we have found the Purple Spirit Clan, transplant them into the battleship as soon as possible. In addition, a notice was issued prohibiting anyone from harming them, violators of which were felonies. Also, I suspect that there are some rudimentary sapient beings on this planet, so let the exploration team be careful. Chen Peilin explained.

It didn't take long for a large landing ship to slowly levitate over the woods, and a huge shadow covered the entire woods in darkness......
