The Shepherd's Treasure Tree is the oldest of the six ancient trees, and unlike the Wisdom Ancient Tree, the War Ancient Tree, the Prosperity Ancient Tree, the Servant Ancient Tree, and the Theocratic Ancient Tree, he doesn't need any suffix, because he is the Ancient Tree.

As the leader of the Shepherd, I don't know when his name became synonymous with the leader, but in order to distinguish it from the other five ancient trees, the treasure tree itself changed its current name.

Tree pastors are derived from trees, and are intelligent beings of the plant system, so the instinct is to reproduce more trees and expand the area of the forest.

The treasure tree can directly command all the plants, especially the huge trees, to fight according to his will, and the battle scene is all too familiar to the slug.

The live slug that was entwined with branches and roots was very surprised, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't this the 'birth of the tree world'?" ”

When strangled by the trees, the live slugs skillfully dissolve themselves and turn into countless tiny slugs, which leak into the forest like a stream of water.

The gaps in the large branches themselves allow the small slugs to shuttle at will, and the small branches will be instantly fused by the slugs, and then swallowed in a few bites.

When encountering thick branches, they will be reduced to pieces to avoid attacks, and when they encounter small branches, they will be concentrated and fused, and they will be quickly annihilated.

And she also has the support of the spaceship in the sky and the intelligence of the swarm, and when the entire forest is an enemy, she can fight with ease.

The Tree Shepherd civilization has been able to persist in a treacherous environment to this day, and naturally has its means, and when ordinary physical attacks do not work, all trees grow a large number of tentacles, and the tips of the tentacles secrete extremely viscous mucus like thatched grass.

At the same time, several vines and plants on the canopy quickly bloom and pollinate, and red, yellow, orange, blue, and purple pollen are flying all over the sky, rendering the whole forest colorful.

The living slug monster exclaimed, "Wow, the Flower and Tree Realm has descended, is it so similar?" ”

After the tiny clone was stuck by the thatched grass slime, the live slug was even more surprised, this was beyond Mu Dun's skills, and it was very targeted to deal with his own split.

Especially after being stuck by the mucus, the body surface of the slugs shows signs of corrosion, and the live slugs know that these mucus are strongly corrosive.

She soon confirmed that the corrosiveness did not come from acid-base properties, but from digestive enzymes, a digestive and decomposing enzyme that targets animal proteins.

Fortunately, the slug does not eat dry rice, and her body also secretes mucus, but it is slippery, which can not only block the mucus of trees, but also block pollen that does not know what specific function it has.

"This is a new ability I learned in Zhou Wenming, as long as I secrete fast enough, no toxin can harm me."

The live slugs couldn't help but feel a little smug, but then they were dumbfounded, and some of the treemen who looked sturdy came out of the forest.

These treemen have almost no branches and leaves, their bark is smooth and metallic, and they secrete slimy resin from tiny crevices, and they are stacked thick on top of their bodies, making them look highly defensive.

When the treemen rushed towards the slugs, the live slugs realized that they were extremely fast, and the heavy attack hit the slugs very unpleasantly.

She spat acid in her mouth, but the resin on the treants was not afraid of corrosion, so she had to split to dodge the attack, who knew that the treants would spew fire with a wave of their hands.

A tree man actually plays with fire, is this unreasonable?

But this trick is really ruthless, the flames are fatal to the forest and the living slugs, but those treemen with metal bark dare to bathe in the flames, and even the resin attached to their bodies is burning.

In the face of the threat of fire, the live slugs had no choice but to merge and rely on their body to resist the damage of the flames.

While stubbornly withstanding the attack of the Flame Treemen, the slugs quickly gathered more splits, and then took advantage of their size to launch a counterattack.

The slugs first extinguished the flames on the flaming tree men with acid, then swallowed them one by one, slowly breaking down the wood with more acid in their stomachs.

At this time, the live slug was really a little depressed, and she muttered to herself: "Ah~~, really, such a big guy swallows it in his stomach, it will struggle, it hurts!" ”

"Ah, I knew it would be so difficult to deal with, I should have learned some combat methods with my companions, it's really troublesome not to attack."

The war between the slugs and the shepherds lasted for two months, and both sides learned a lot about each other.

The Tree Shepherd civilization brought in the Ancient Trees of War, Servant, and Theocracy that they were responsible for combat, and the Living Slug saw giant trees that could shoot wooden spears, giant trees that could throw explosive fruits, green-skinned orc warriors wielding wooden weapons, and rituals that chanted strange sorcery.

The tree herders also saw jumping worms, scorpions, stinging snakes, and thunderbeasts, as well as huge broods.

On the planet of the Shepherd, the brood unexpectedly grew to an unprecedented size, with a height of more than two thousand meters alone, and the extended fungus blanket covered an area of hundreds of square kilometers.

Live slugs are not researchers, she is not even a qualified user, and she is only happy with the abnormal enlargement of the brood, because the rapid increase in the production of insects allows her to be more helped.

Thankfully, with nearly thirty times the insect production of the normal brood, the slugs were not overwhelmed by the attacks of the herders, because the slugs did not know how to command at all.

The swarm brought by the Great Immortal was completely instinctive, and spontaneously fought against the attacking Treants, and without command, the swarm was completely unoffensive.

This is the restriction that Zhou Wenming made for the insect colony, only when the density of the insects reaches the limit, they will slightly expand the territory under the established program of the mother nest, but they will never leave the fungus blanket more than five kilometers.

In fact, the tree herders discovered early on that slugs and other insects were not aggressive, and it was because of this that they did not use their real force.

The Tree Shepherd civilization has stood in the Star Sea for tens of thousands of years, and in Erdo's records, the Shepherds have existed since they first stepped into the Star Sea.

But today, the 10,000-year-old Erdo has been destroyed, and the herders are still slowly planting trees here, naturally because they have strong enough force to deter those tyrannical civilizations.

Especially the Herdsman's system, where all the right planets and moons have been modified to be alive, are the best prey for the Otsuki Clan.

However, according to the memories of Kaguya, Otsuki Kazuki's attitude towards the Tree Shepherd Galaxy was to ignore it, and he went to the ninja world to plant the sacred tree for trillions of miles.

It is absolutely impossible for the big barrel wood to be kind and let go of the tree herder galaxy, but he knows that these tree planting guys are difficult to deal with, or even impossible to defeat at all.

And the oil girl Tetsumaru believes that there is only one situation that can make the herdsman civilization survive to this day, and that is that the herdsmen are not only powerful, but their fighting methods are also very special.

Even if a more powerful member of the big barrel wood came over, after winning the battle with all the hard work, it could only be nothing.

It is very difficult to fight and if you win, you won't get anything, so the Cosmic Locust Big Barrel Wood clan will inevitably choose to turn a blind eye.

The shepherds suppressed their attack power, and the slugs didn't know how to really fight the war, so a war between two interstellar civilizations was actually fought in its most primitive form.

Hand-to-hand combat between unfortified jumping worms and club-wielding green-skinned warriors, soft stinging snakes and giant trees throwing bone spurs and wooden spears at each other, is even more ridiculous than the Wakanda defenses.

Because this war was fought at such a low end, the low level of energy release was outrageous, which made Zhou Wenming misjudge that there was no war here, and as a result, the time for the departure of support was greatly delayed.

Of course, this kind of miscalculation also has benefits, without the arrival of the tactical group Advent who is good at war, the war between the Zhou civilization and the herdsman civilization will not escalate, and a real interstellar war has been avoided by mistake.

The turning point of the primitive war came in the fourth month, when the first forest that had been eaten by live slugs was reborn, but to the shock of all the herders, the naturally developed trees were in very good condition, even too good.

The Tree Shepherds have planted trees for tens of thousands of years, and their footprints and forests are spread throughout the galaxy, but they have not expanded not because they lack the ability to sail, nor because they are content with their current territory.

The real reason is that the trees planted by the herders have problems and can easily die if they are left without the care of the herders.

The herders must constantly patrol and regularly take care of the forests they have planted, replanting small trees on the barren land after the death of the big trees.

The forest is the foundation of the herder, but the area of the forest that a herder can maintain is limited, and this limitation is the reason why the herder's civilization cannot expand.

But this time, after the forest was eaten by slugs, not only did the large trees that naturally reproduce appear, but these trees were very healthy and vibrant.

No ancient tree can ignore this "miracle", and for the shepherds, it is a miracle, a miracle that has been waiting for tens of thousands of years.

After the emergence of forests that can reproduce naturally, the territory of the herders can expand almost indefinitely, and the expanded forests can give birth to new herders, and the entire civilization will enter an unprecedented rapid development.

……

For the first time in 10,000 years, six ancient trees gathered from across the galaxy, and they stood on the top of the mountain where they could see the brood.

"This, bug, must, live, must be, ally!"

The body structure of the theocratic ancient tree restricted him from speaking one at a time, but his tone was categorical, conveying his firm attitude.

The Ancient Tree of War agreed: "Theocracy is right, that soft bug doesn't know how to fight, but the little bug it uses ...... It's very powerful, there must be a powerful civilization behind it, and it's best not to be an enemy. ”

The servant ancient tree nodded solemnly: "Those small hard bugs are more pure weapons of war than Oak (greenskin), very terrifying, I don't want to have a real war with the monster behind the soft bugs." ”

"After all, that's a bug."

The Wisdom Ancient Tree looked at the Treasure Tree and asked, "Dear Lord Treasure Tree, the forest eaten by soft insects can repair itself, is it wrong that we exterminated all the insects tens of thousands of years ago?" ”

Faced with such a question, Baoshu was not angry at all, he replied with a smile: "Do you remember what the forest they destroyed was like when those insects were not extinct? ”

"Remember, it's the wreckage of the trunk, it's the terrible corruption, it's the disease that is contagious......," the Wisdom Ancient Tree recalled, "and even the disease that can infect the shepherds, we have lost four hundred and forty-seven companions, and even the Abyssal Ancient Tree." ”

"It's really terrifying that the body is decaying little by little and dying."

Recalling the tragic state of the Abyssal Ancient Tree before it died, the Ancient Tree of Wisdom couldn't help but be terrified, and his branches trembled uncontrollably.

Baoshu couldn't help but nod and sigh, he fixed his mind and continued: "Those ancient insects don't have any self-recovery after destroying the forest, but they are constantly expanding like scars, they are absolute enemies. ”

"This soft worm is different, after it eats the tree, the remaining environment is very clean, and the roots of the tree have even become more vigorous."

"It's those roots that have changed that have developed new saplings and grown into new, more vibrant trees."

Baoshu looked at the other five ancient trees and said seriously: "The miracle is that soft worm, not just any bug, this is the miracle we have been waiting for for tens of thousands of years. ”

"So, we're going to do another experiment and confirm again that miracles are repeatable."

The Theocratic Ancient Tree asked, "Lord Baoshu is right, what are we going to do?" ”

The treasure tree shook its soft branches, and after thinking for a while, it said, "Stop the attack, then retreat, and give up a forest to them." ”

"Let's see how that soft bug behaves when it eats it."

The servant Gushu said, "There is no problem with retreating, but will that soft worm come out to eat the big tree?" ”

Baoshu laughed: "Don't worry, I can feel the desire of that soft worm now, it is looking at our big tree, it is already hungry." ”

Then the ultra-slow-paced meeting, which lasted an hour and lasted less than twenty words, ended.

……

Live slugs are indeed extremely greedy, and the meal she ate four months ago has now been completely digested by her.

The trees here contain a new level of life energy, which brings great changes to the living slug, allowing her to push through her physical limits.

The most obvious sign is that the live slugs have gained a whopping 200 kilograms.

She hadn't gained even a gram in six hundred years, and even if she lost part of her body by accident, she could only recover to her maximum weight after that, and she couldn't even gain an extra gram.

And after the breakthrough weight gain this time, the body of the live slug seems to be activated, and every cell is urging her: Hurry up, hurry up and eat the tree!

It was the attack of those green-skinned humanoid monsters, tree monsters, and giant trees that hit the live slugs so painfully that she suppressed her desire and stayed in the brood honestly.

Only when they can't help it, the live slug will take a piece of the pie from the big trees collected by the worker bees to relieve their hunger a little.

But eating it little by little in this way could not relieve the thirst at all, not only was the quantity not enough to stuff the teeth, but also the trunks that were divided after collection were dry.

Such a trunk lacks the fresh vitality of a living tree, and the taste is very poor.

As a result, satisfying the cravings aroused greater desires, so that the live scorpion could not be calm when lying down.

The main body and the split body of the live slugs have countless eyes staring at the forest tightly, hoping to end the war as soon as possible, and then enjoy it in one go.

So, when the shepherd retreated, the live slug only hesitated for half an hour and couldn't hold back any longer.

She rushed into the forest, hugged the tree, and was finally able to feast.
