Chapter 118 Natural Enemies

As Banan closed his eyes, the surroundings of the deep pool suddenly fell into silence, and even Fair, who had been swallowing clouds and spitting mist, put down the beast gold pipe in his hand and looked at Banan intently with a pair of big eyes.

After about a quarter of an hour, Banan finally opened his eyes and turned to look at Merge and Fell. Merge, who had been patiently waiting for the result, saw a touch of sadness between Banan's eyebrows, and then a bad premonition rose in Merge's heart.

Merge tentatively spoke, "How?"

"Although this Nanshi willow has opened its spiritual intelligence, its consciousness is chaotic, and it is difficult to distinguish even the basic emotions, so the time for its spiritual intelligence to be opened is definitely not more than five years, and it is impossible to communicate between consciousnesses at all. ”

"After the general plant opens its spiritual intelligence, it will take at least a hundred years, even a thousand years, or ten thousand years to differentiate the most basic emotions other than instinct. And only when consciousness is no longer chaotic and emotions are completely differentiated, can the communication between consciousness be carried out. ”

Banan shook his head in disappointment, "So, I can't communicate with this Nanshi willow. ”

"Emotional differentiation?" Merger frowned and asked curiously, "What does emotional differentiation mean?"

For example, the plant's desire for sunlight is an instinct, and after it opens its mind and the emotions are completely differentiated, it will give birth to joy and satisfaction when bathing in the sun, and when it does not get the sun, it will produce negative emotions such as loss, anger and sadness. ”

Banan paused, "The role of emotional differentiation is similar to that of racial language, language can express feelings and thoughts more clearly and concretely, and in the same way, complete emotional differentiation can convey consciousness more clearly." ”

"If you don't have words, you want to express your inner thoughts. It's going to be a little bit more difficult. Banan sighed, "But there is no emotional differentiation, the spirit born of plants is basically a chaotic thing, basically indistinguishable from its own instincts, but there are more chaotic emotions other than instincts." ”

Seeing that Merge was still confused, Banan smiled faintly. "Confusion is like crazy talk, you don't know what it's trying to say," he explains. ”

Merge raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "If you can communicate with this South Stone Willow, how are you going to take wood from the South Stone Willow, Banan?"

"I'm going to make an exchange with Nanshiliu and let it make conditions, and when I do, I can take a piece of its timber in exchange. Banan blinked his eyes and smiled honestly: "Actually, I don't know if this method will work......

Hear the words. Merge lowered his eyebrows and pondered, as if he was looking for a way to collect the wood of the southern stone willow, and as if he was considering Banan's words, looking for valuable information in them.

After half a ring, Merge raised his head and asked Banan, "Even if you talk crazy, you can hear some useful information, Banan, can you try to sort out some valuable emotions from Nan Shiliu's chaotic emotions?"

"Chaotic emotions are much more chaotic than crazy talk......"

Banan looked embarrassed. But when Merge looked at him with burning eyes, Banan pondered for a moment and then nodded and said, "I'll try." Try to find the emotions that can be distinguished from the chaotic emotions of Nan Shiliu. ”

Seeing Merge nodding, Banan turned to face Nan Shiliu and stretched out his arms.

After Banan closed his eyes, dense branches suddenly grew on his arms, winding around the stone willows to the south. Meanwhile. A white mang's body flashed around Banan, and the white mang's white mangs gradually wrapped the southern stone willow in it through the transmission of branches.

When the white light emanating from Banan's body completely enveloped Nanshi Liu, the white light on Banan's body suddenly began to flicker, becoming bright and dark. It's elusive.

Merge stared intently at the scene in front of him, praying that Banan would find some valuable information, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to cut wood on the hard South Stone Willow.

Although Merge's tool knife could cut through the southern stone willow, he could not use a tool knife the size of a finger to cut the southern stone willow branch that was thicker than his arm.

Unless there is nothing to be done, Merge will not use a tool knife to cut the branches of Nanshi willow, after all, the tool knife is the lifeblood of an alchemist, and no alchemist will use a tool knife to cut down a tree.

As Merge pondered, Banan withdrew the branch that had grown from his arm, and the white light emitted from his body dissipated.

"Did you find anything?"

Banan nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Yes, there are, but there are not many." ”

Merge's eyes lit up, "Tell me about it." ”

"In addition to Nanshiliu's survival instinct, there are two emotions that are more obvious. Banan's eyes were slightly confused, and he was a little uncertain and said: "But these two emotions of Nan Shiliu are from the bottom of the deep pool, and Nan Shiliu's consciousness is very confused, so I can't figure out whether these two emotions are true or false." ”

"One of the two emotions of Nanshiliu is the longing for the bottom of the pool, and the other is the fear of the bottom of the pool. ”

Hearing this, Moge frowned, "These two emotions are a little contradictory......"

"Yes, that's what I thought at first. Banan nodded, "But after careful identification, I found that Nanshiliu's longing for the bottom of the pond is an instinctive emotion, just like most plants yearn for sunshine bathing, and the bottom of the pond should have some substances needed for the growth of Nanshiliu." ”

"It is the waters of the endless abyssal sea. ”

After a slight pause, Murge said: "Nanshi willow is a rare plant that grows in the depths of the Endless Abyss Sea, if it weren't for the fact that there is an undercurrent connecting the endless abyssal sea under the ground of this deep pool, plus this place is an extinct volcano, with abundant fire energy and a special environment, it would not be possible to have Nanshi willow here." ”

"That's true. Banan nodded thoughtfully and continued: "Nan Shiliu's desire for the bottom of the pool comes from innate, but the fear of the bottom of the pool comes from the day after tomorrow. ”

"The day after tomorrow?" Merge frowned, "Could it be that there is a natural enemy of Nanshi willow at the bottom of the deep pool?"

Hearing this, Banan asked in surprise: "Nan Shiliu still has natural enemies?"

Merge nodded, "There are several magical beasts in the Endless Abyss Sea that feed on Nanshiliu, which is why Nanshiliu is very rare. ”

"Before many Nanshi willows have grown to more than a hundred years, they will be eaten by these special magical beasts. Even if Nanshiliu is not eaten, there will be powerful demonic beasts that choose to inhabit Nanshiliu's surroundings, identifying Nanshiliu as its own food, and all people or demonic beasts who touch and vainly attempt to destroy Nanshiliu will be attacked by it. ”

"This beast that inhabits the South Stone Willow is more terrifying and more intelligent, because they don't eat the South Stone Willow in one bite, but eat some from time to time so that it can eat all the way to the South Stone Willow. Merge's voice deepened, "This cunning and clever monster is the most difficult to deal with, and it is even more dangerous to deal with. (To be continued.) )
