Most of the oases in the desert depend on underground rivers, and once the rivers are diverted, the location of the oases changes.

And the diversion of the underground river is silent, and the conscription is not visible at all on the ground.

As a result, maps of desert areas are rarely time-sensitive and usually have to be redrawn in a few years.

This time, Chen Mu and they came, and the location of the oasis has hardly changed, so it should be said that they are still very lucky.

In the car, someone couldn't help but sigh: "I can finally see the shade of a tree." ”

In the past, even if there was vegetation in the desert, it was generally low grass or large cacti, and there were few leaves for people to enjoy the shade.

At this moment, on the oasis in front of me, I finally saw towering leafy plants in the distance.

It's just that the more Chen Mu looks at that tree, the more he feels that something is wrong.

It wasn't until the car drove up to it that people finally found out—

Where is this leafy plant, this is clearly a tropical coconut egg tree!

The neck of the coconut egg tree in the tropics is particularly long, and it looks like a towering tree tens of meters long from a distance.

There is a bulging belly and feet under the neck, and a tail behind it.

Only at this moment, the coconut egg tree was sitting on the ground, and the bottom of its legs and belly had been completely covered by vine grass leaves.

It can be seen that he has probably not stood up for a long, long time.

However, after noticing the approach of the three cars and a few Dudulin, he still shook the leaves above his head, as if to welcome, and by the way, to prove that he was still a living creature, and did not completely sit down into a tree.

Amani and other researchers were very excited to see this coconut egg tree, and hurriedly took out their equipment to take pictures, and also planned to get closer to measure the height of this coconut egg tree.

"I didn't expect there to be coconut egg trees in the desert! This is a big discovery, which I have never encountered before. ”

Skarna admonished, "Be careful. ”

Chen Mu wasn't too worried.

He didn't perceive any hostility from the egg-tree, and he seemed to be quite friendly to humans.

This was later verified through the communication and translation of the elves.

"This is a coconut egg tree that used to follow humans, and he stayed in the desert after the owner died in the war."

By the way, he also took the initiative to point out to the scientific research team the location of the nearby underground river springs, which were all near where he was sitting.

The coconut egg tree in the temperate zone is a grass + superpower attribute, and the tropical one is grass + dragon, but the coconut egg tree that is basically a dragon will also have a lot of superpower moves.

When this coconut egg tree demonstrated its telekinesis in front of everyone, people suddenly realized-

"This coconut egg tree is strong!"

Chen Mu rarely took a serious look at the tree.

This is like a substantial superpower fluctuation, which makes the old spray who came with him feel a palpitation.

"A coconut egg tree that is very likely to have reached the level of a heavenly king is almost as good as Ah Ying and Danggou at their peak."

However, he looked lazy, he could grasp things with his telekinesis, he didn't even bother to move, his abdomen was extremely fat, and his legs were so short that he could barely stand up.

The heads that look like fruits above also have lazy expressions that never wake up.

Occasionally, he can only prove that he is a living creature by flicking his tail and shaking his blades.

A real hardcore fat house.

Chen Mu guessed that his strength was likely to come from lifespan.

This fat ...... It is likely that the coconut egg tree has been sitting here for many, many years.

In this regard, Chen Mu also specially asked Amani: "Didn't you find him when you mapped this oasis last time you found him?" ”

Amani shook his head: "No, a large part of our map is based on aerial photography, and the area of field investigation is still a small number after all, and the last time people who may have taken aerial photography did not notice that this tree is an elf." ”

Seeing that the coconut egg tree in front of him had passed the initial freshness, and the head above had started to sleep again in front of everyone, Chen Mu couldn't help but agree with Amani's answer.

"Yes...... It's quite possible. ”

Several researchers were still measuring data around the coconut eggplant, and he looked like he was asleep again, not at all worried that these people were plotting against him.

I don't know if it's self-confidence or big-heartedness......

Chen Mu smiled: "But that's okay, with him, your safety staying here will be more guaranteed." ”

Chen Mu still doesn't know what the strength of the Seven Leaders is, but he guesses that it is most likely not as strong as this coconut egg tree.

Now it seems that this fat ...... The attitude of the coconut egg tree towards humans is quite friendly, so there should be no safer place in this territory of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Amani understood what Chen Mu meant.

"Well, you can go with confidence, we are also going to take water samples here, do a lot of analysis, and we don't need to leave in a short time."

"Okay."

Immediately, the scientific research team released the Mengge cactus and the sand bell cactus and began to set up the camp.

Chen Mu first helped set up the tent together, and only after the camp was erected did he drive a car with Skarna to leave.

Skarna was in charge of driving, and Chen Mu was in the co-pilot.

Koga Ninja Frog and Panshan King sat in the back seat, one left and one right, holding the little leader of the rogue crocodile in the middle, who had not yet been let go.

The boss is also bitter, I haven't eaten meat for two days, so I don't take such a bullying crocodile!

However, there was no way, the other hooligan crocodile Chen Mu let them go, but he couldn't let them go.

As soon as he was afraid of letting him go, he gathered a wave of elves to make trouble;

Second, if you really meet the big leader, you have to rely on him to come forward to explain the misunderstanding.

Otherwise, if you make trouble again, Chen Mu will be really numb.

Since it is easy for the rogue crocodile to ignore what the king said, let your own people say it.

The leader had protested.

But after Chen Mu asked his own elves to take turns to fight with him last night, this leader suddenly became much more honest today......

From the performance of this rogue crocodile leader, Chen Mu was able to estimate that the strength of the leaders of the big clans in the desert was probably above and below the main general level.

It is not clear whether there is a captain-level leader, but Chen Mu guesses that even if there is, there are very few.

As for the leader, there is still too little information, but Chen Mu guesses that he should not be able to reach the Heavenly King level.

After the two set off together, they drove for several hours.

It wasn't until this afternoon that they finally saw the largest rogue crocodile colony in the area on a sand dune.

From afar, it looks like a stone city has been built in the desert below!

The elves used boulders to enclose the outline of a round city, which was used to protect against wind and sand.

There are occasional gaps between the stones, forming a natural gate.

The city is dotted with hemispherical sand castles, which are the nest dwellings of rogue crocodiles.

Rogue crocodiles like to live in sand holes, and burying their bodies half-buried in the sand makes them comfortable, so their dwellings are not much higher than the ground, but only have a dome, and the interior space is mainly concentrated below the ground.

But even so, looking at a stone city from afar, there are hundreds of hemispherical sand castles of all sizes, and it still looks like it is dotted and quite shocking.

At the same time, there is also a spring in the underground river in this stone city, and you can see the sunlight reflected on the water surface from a high place, and it is sparkling from a distance.

There are even a number of camels in captivity in the city to serve as a reserve food for the rogue crocodile group.

This scene is not an exaggeration to say that it is a spectacle.

"You can't underestimate the creativity of the wild elves."

Chen Mu sighed with a rare sigh.

Soon after, the location where they were standing was discovered—

A symbolic bird flew in from the city.
