Chapter 208: The Ironwood Tree Man
An old man in a white coat hurried out of the woods.
The humanoid monster squeaked, and in a flash, came to the old man's side.
"It's been a hard work, let's rest."
The old man's right hand reached out and touched the top of the green monster's head. The palm of the hand glows with a faint blue light. After that, the humanoid monster's body began to change strangely, and in just six or seven seconds, it turned into a strange tree the thickness of a bucket and more than a meter high, rooted in the ground, motionless.
"What the hell is this!"
Li Ba was shocked. Hurriedly gathered his momentum and walked briskly.
After arriving, he first greeted the old man with a smile: "Old Su, my name is Li Ba, and I am honored to meet you." ”
"Hmm."
This old man is none other than Su Lao, the director of the research institute, and he is also the only third-level wood powerhouse in Xibu City today. He glanced at Li Ba, and his right hand was still on the tree that the monster had turned into just now, urging his own yuan power to continue to instill it.
"President Li, just now I saw you sacrifice a few paper talismans, and they turned into anacondas and injured my treasure...... Could it be that you are really as rumored by the outside world, what kind of Heavenly Master Dao Fu is the successor?
Su Lao was also shocked in his heart. For Li Ba's mysterious rune, I feel incredible.
"Exactly."
In this regard, Li Ba didn't want to explain more, looked at the strange tree, and asked in surprise: "Old Su, this thing...... Is it also a mutant plant? ”
"Not bad!"
Su Lao didn't continue to ask about the talisman, he listened to it at the moment and nodded. Then, he thought for a moment and said, "However, my baby's evolutionary level is not comparable to ordinary mutant plants, with independent consciousness, it can also be said that it has basic spiritual intelligence, and it belongs to spiritual mutant plants. You can simply call it a spirit plant! ”
Spirit Plant!
This name is the first time Li Ba has heard of it.
"The vines you just triggered are quite unusual, if I'm not mistaken, they should also belong to the spirit plant category."
Su Lao said here, looking down at his baby. muttered a few words in his mouth: "I want to try you, who would have thought that your kid didn't have a serious shot, so my baby was not lightly injured, and I don't know how long it will take to sleep to recover......"
After hearing this, Li Ba smiled and said, "I'll heal it." Before he finished speaking, he waved his left hand, and a light mist spilled out, which immediately enveloped the strange tree.
Bathed in mist, the strange tree began to writhe. And squeaks of joy.
"Multi-spray, multi-......"
Su Lao clearly felt that the damaged part of his baby was beginning to recover, and there were still signs of thriving. Overjoyed, he didn't bother to ask how Li Ba sprinkled the mist, and asked him to continue spraying and not stop.
This mist is naturally a spatial spiritual spring. It has the miraculous effect of promoting plant mutation and assisting growth.
"No problem."
Li Ba happily agreed, and continuously controlled the spiritual spring to spray out in the form of mist. Meantime. He opened his mouth and asked Su Lao, what is the name of this strange plant.
"Wood ray!"
Su Lao has all questions. According to him. The plant had been unintentionally discovered by him in the mountains, and it was just a small sapling that was already able to move. It was transplanted back, carefully cultivated, and gradually grew up, and began to show the characteristics of both animals and plants. When growing. Transform into a tree and take root in the soil to absorb nutrients. When attacking, it is amazing to be able to transform into a human form.
"Wood ray!"
Legend has it that a mountain spirit monster was bred by a thousand-year-old tree. It's a fitting name, and it fits the characteristics of this exotic plant.
"Su Lao. Do you have any wood rays to give me dozens of seeds? ”
Li Ba began to come up with the idea of this magical plant.
"Spirit plants are unique and do not possess reproductive characteristics!"
When Su Lao said this, he said to Li Ba again: "Your vine should be the same, I guessed correctly!" ”
Li Ba nodded after hearing this. Indeed, the Devil Crying Vine could not divide and multiply, otherwise he would have cultivated it on a large scale and planted it outside the city gates. For defending against zombies, the Devil Cry Vine is simply an invincible killer.
More than ten minutes later.
Li Ba stopped. At this moment, the strange plant called Mu Xiao has grown more than ten centimeters taller, and many green shoots have emerged on the surface. Su Lao was on the side, he was very excited, and he couldn't stop smiling.
Seeing the buds emerging from the body of the wood man, Li Ba's heart moved, and said: "Old Su, you can try to graft the buds of the wood ray to other mutated trees, or, directly extract its sap and inject it, and try to see if you can change the genes of other mutant trees?" ”
After hearing this, Su Lao carefully looked at Li Ba a few times, nodded and said: "No wonder Ah Xue praised me all day long, saying that you have strong professional knowledge and are a very rare talent, when I see it today, it's really like that!" ”
"Oh, she complimented me so much!"
Li Ba touched his bald head, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Give me some of the nutrient solution you just sprayed, and my old man will take you to see the results of recent research!" Su Lao began to play with the idea of the space spirit spring.
"No problem!"
Li Ba readily agreed.
Then, Su Lao greeted him and walked along the forest path. Within a few minutes, they came to several large trees. These big trees are more than ten meters high, and their bodies are dark and look thick and thick.
Ironwood!
Li Ba recognized that it was a mutated plant called Ironwood. As the name suggests, wood is as hard as iron and is an excellent material for making crossbow arrows and weapons.
Su Lao came to one of the ironwood trees, stretched out his hand, stuck to the body of the tree, his palm flashed blue, and began to input Yuan Li.
In just six or seven seconds, a muffled boom sounded. The ironwood tree seemed to come to life, its branches swaying, and the position of the tree began to wriggle, revealing its human features. At the same time, its roots begin to fork, forming two thick legs that slowly pull out of the dirt.
"Tree Man!"
Li Ba's mouth opened wide, his face full of horror. In front of him, a tree man ten meters tall appeared, with all four limbs and facial features, and slowly walked around.
"I used the gene solution of the wood ray to inject more than 100 mutant plants, and as a result, only Ironwood fused the wood ray gene and evolved again."
Su Lao saw Li Ba's shocked appearance, and his face was full of pride, "The tree man I cultivated, it's not bad!" ”
"Okay, great......"
Li Ba stared at the slow-moving big guy in front of him, his eyes were burning. A few seconds later, he suddenly looked at Su Lao and asked, "Since you have cultivated such a big guy, why don't you take it out to defend against zombies?" ”
"Flawed!"
Su Lao ignored Li Ba's questioning eyes and said slowly: "First, they have enough strength, but they are slow and inflexible. Second, it is difficult to cultivate, the number is small, and the scale cannot be formed. Third, and the biggest flaw, although the Tree People have inherited most of the characteristics of the Wood Man, they have not given birth to spiritual intelligence, only instinctive consciousness, which is difficult to control and drive them to fight! ”
Li Ba was stunned after hearing this. He looked at the tree man who was still walking slowly, rolled his eyes, smiled and said to Su Lao: "This tree man is good, can you give me one?" ”
"Okay! As long as you have the ability to get it away! ”
Su Lao happily agreed. There was a cunning look on his face. His botanical garden, closed on all sides, was almost impossible to get such a big guy out.
Unexpectedly, when the old man saw Li Ba take out a paper talisman and stick it on the tree man, with a wave of his hand, the paper talisman and the tree man disappeared strangely. The old man's mouth opened wide, and he was even more frightened than when Li Ba saw the tree man.
"Su Lao, you have a lot of mutant plants here, I don't have them there, give me some samples and let me go back to study and study!"
Subsequently, Li Ba took advantage of the old man's distraction and began to wander in the surrounding forests, and saw mutant varieties that were not available in his botanical garden, and directly put them into the bracelet space. By the time Su Lao reacted, the originally dense mutant forest had been sparse and there wasn't much left.
"Boy, stop it!"
Su Lao gritted his teeth. These are all treasures that he has cultivated with countless efforts, and if he loses a tree, he will feel distressed and uncomfortable. Now that I have disappeared so much at once, I can imagine that I am depressed.
Li Ba saw that it was almost over. Don't rush the old man, and then stop.
"One hundred pounds...... No, you have to pay me a thousand catties of nutrient solution that can assist the growth of the wood ray, otherwise, I will be inseparable from you! ”
Su Lao gritted his teeth and yelled. Claim compensation.
"No problem!"
Li Ba nodded happily, took away another ironwood tree man, and said to the old man with a smile: "I'll add another 500 catties and ask for one more." (To be continued......)
