The next day, Ning Wanjun took Xia Fan, Mo Yun, Elf, Li and others to the east coast.

"That's the strange boat that was spotted by fishermen. The princess gestured.

Xia Fan only felt that his eyes lit up - this boat was completely different from the sailboats he had seen, the whole was like a magnified shuttle, conical in front and back, flat in the middle, about five meters in length, and about one person in height. What's even more unique is that it is covered in verdant greenery, surrounded by countless vines, as if a plant had grown on its own, in stark contrast to the fishing boats that were spliced together with wooden planks not far away.

"If there is no sail, how does this ship move?" this is also the question that Xia Fan wants to know the most.

After listening to Mo Yun's translation, Ai Li stepped on the vine and climbed into the shuttle. Then something jaw-dropping happened, and the scattered vines at the bottom of the ship swayed from side to side, like the tail of a tadpole.

Ning Wanjun was so frightened on the spot that she grabbed Xia Fan.

"Your Highness, Your Highness...... Tap!" The latter gasped, as a person who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, this grip can be imagined. Xia Fan felt as if his arm was almost caught in a vice.

"Ah......" Then the princess reacted, withdrew her hand and coughed twice, "I'll just say it's like it's alive!"

is not afraid of blood crows, nor is she afraid of the battlefield full of corpses, but she is afraid of the unknowable, and it can only be said that if she is as strong as her, she will eventually have weaknesses.

Little by little, the shuttle boat plunged into the water, and as the sea covered its bottom, it traveled much faster. In this way, the elf sailed back and forth in front of everyone in the boat.

"So it's actually some kind of plant, and you can control it through qi?" After the other party came ashore, Xia Fan asked.

"To be precise, it's the seed of the dryad. "Dryads bear fruit every six months, and in addition to the edible pulp, the seeds have a variety of uses. The people of the World Island have been living with the dryads for thousands of years, and it has gradually become one of our instincts to use the magic of the dryads. ”

Through Mo Yun's translation, Xia Fan heard an extremely interesting ecological structure from Ai Li's mouth.

As an alien species, elves and demons have the same ability to cast natural spells, but this ability is firmly combined with the dryads, which is equivalent to turning natural spells into a kind of "magic" that requires spellcasting materials.

But there is a price to pay for.

Elves have different natural spells, so even if they use the same seed, they can create different effects. For example, the green shuttle in front of you is the product of the growth of seeds, which can carry two or three people, survive for about five years, and can be driven by qi sensitors, but if you want to control it freely, you still have to communicate with the elves.

On the islands of the world, there are many species of plants that have developed from seeds and are very strange – such as the earthworm vine, which fertilizes the land, or the thorn algae, which fishes on its own...... It can be said that the social structure of the elves is based on this dryad.

If you regard the magic in the other person's mouth as qi, the tree spirit is like a plant that can sense qi.

This theory is not to mention the records of the Privy Council, and even Master Qingjian of Li has never mentioned a trace of relevant information.

Considering the closed nature of the World Island, I am afraid that the few people present are very likely to be the first people of the Great Apocalypse to know about the existence of the Feeling Tree.

In addition, elves have much stronger genetic abilities than demons.

According to Eli, even if outsiders intermarry with islanders, the offspring born will basically have pointed ears. When the outsider dies naturally, the offspring will be fully integrated into the world islanders, with little to no indication of where their parents or mothers came from.

Of course, not every elf has the ability to resonate with the dryad, in other words, there is still a certain randomness in the awakening of the senses. Although Ai Li was reluctant to reveal the number of elves' Qi Sensers, since they could support an entire race, their probability was obviously much higher than that of a fox demon like Li.

"The strong enemy on the other side of the sea attacked your homeland, mainly to get the power of the tree spirit?" Ning Wanjun cared more about the enemy in the other party's mouth than the ecological structure.

"Yes......" Eri nodded heavily, "the seeds can be expanded into green shuttles, or they can be changed into other shapes, such as forming a net attached to the bottom of the boat, which can make the sailboat reach speeds that are impossible under normal circumstances." Enemy...... They want to lock us up in a cabin that never sees the light of day, and drive a huge sailless ship for it. ”

This power source, which is not affected by sea conditions and weather, is indeed of extraordinary significance to seagoing vessels.

"You came to the mainland to escape the war?"

"It's not all. Ai Li bit her lip, "Now that the tree boat I am in is looking for a place where I can get supplies, the Western Continent has not been set foot by those people so far, your size ...... It's also much larger than the World Island, so I'm wondering if the Tree Boat can dock here for a while to get supplies. ”

"Are you short of food?" Ning Wanjun asked keenly.

"I just don't think there's a harm in stocking up more...... her tone was a little weak, "of course we didn't intend to ask for it in vain." I heard that commerce is prevalent in the Western Continent, and everyone can get what they need through trading. ”

"Can seeds be traded?" Xia Fan asked bluntly.

"I want to ...... Okay, too. However, only a very small number of people are willing to leave the tree boat, so products like the green shuttle may not be of much use. ”

"It's okay to do business, it's just a ship. Ning Wanjun clapped his hands and said, "Where is Shuzhou now, how much food do you need?"

"It should be floating off the coast of the Western Continent, I think the more food I can eat, the better, after all, there are more than 30,000 people on the tree boat-"

"What did you say?" Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun interrupted her in unison, "Thirty thousand!?"

"Yes......" Ai Li shrank in fright, "The core of every tree boat is a new tree spirit, and the world island is also a ...... made of many tree spirits."

It's a ghost boat! It's okay to say it's a reef or an island, but it's still the kind that can move on its own!

Xia Fan cast a glance at the princess.

The latter immediately understood, "In principle, we welcome any law-abiding merchant to come to Jinxia City to do business, whether he is from beyond the Eastern Sea or from the Western Pole. However, due to the large amount of the transaction, it is best to wait until you arrive in the East China Sea and then send an envoy to discuss with us in detail. ”

"Really?" Ai Li showed a rare look of joy, this was the best news she had heard in recent times, "Thank you, Your Highness Princess, I will bring the news back to the tree boat!"

"Remember to give you the product...... No, seed products are listed," Xia Fan added, "and it's more efficient to negotiate." Also, haven't you considered living outside the realm of the Dryad's protection?"

Ai Li was stunned, "You mean...... Say goodbye to the dryads?"

"Yes, even without seeds, you can thrive like everyone else. If you want to break your own isolation, someone has to go out and go to a wider place, just like the one you did a hundred years ago. Xia Fan spread his hands and said, "If you are unwilling to leave the surroundings of the tree spirit from the beginning to the end, changing the status quo is just an empty word." ”
