Chapter 848: The Ghost Floater
Zhu Huan looked at the sky, and the white gaseous world was close at hand.
The distance that can be seen by the naked eye is unreachable on the scale of the void.
Like a passing giant, his strong, powerful legs stride between the grass, but he doesn't notice a blade of grass on his pants.
Zhu Huan was not too disappointed.
Compared to those who died in various accidents and accidents, he felt that he had been favored by the god Yao.
At least.
He looked around him, and small long-tailed creatures swam around him, like schools of fish.
They look like grass seeds and have flocculent whiskers like dandelions that have shed a lot of fluff, and these whiskers are their flying tails, keeping them afloat and gliding.
These little beings are fragile and will die if they are pinched or stepped on, but they also have all the elements of life. They need food, they will be happy and afraid, they will communicate with each other, and they will grow and die.
Now Zhu Huan can hear their whispers.
"The air in the upper floors today is so good, and it tastes sweet."
"Closer to the ground below, there is some astringent sand and dust, which is very chewy and has a rich taste."
"It's still the wind in the canyon, it's nice to listen to and delicious."
"Lord Zhu Huan, why is he unhappy today."
"Lord Zhu Huan has always been unhappy."
"Indeed."
"Then let's go serve Lord Zhu Huan!"
"Okay, let's go, everyone!"
Then they swam around Zhu Huan, trying to massage them with their gentle flocculent tails, chanting "Lord Zhu Huan, we love you".
But this makes no sense to Zhu Huan.
He's dead.
Now he is just a ghost who can come and go with the wind, and he can't feel such a subtle touch.
These little things are called [UFO], and they feed on the [Wind Element], and they are very happy just drinking the Northwest Wind.
Without food, they don't die quickly, they just fall to the ground and fall asleep, like dried seeds, to survive long periods of starvation.
Zhu Huan was shocked when he first discovered this life.
The little beings soon came together.
"Are you the God who gave us life?"
"Praise be to you! Our God! Our Origin! ”
"Love you!"
……
Their simple enthusiasm and stupidity made Zhu Huan not come back to his senses at all.
He is just a small believer of Lord Yaoshen.
How can there be a God who cannot protect himself?
Regarding the misunderstanding of local life about himself, Zhu Huan had to explain again and again.
"I'm not a god, I'm just a ghost wandering here."
But they don't care at all.
"You are God!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"We can feel your breath, and without you we would not exist!"
"We can smell the reassuring and friendly smell of you."
"You created us."
"Please give us a name, God!"
"Please give us a name!"
……
Zhu Huan had a little headache.
These beings see themselves not so much as gods as their fathers.
Perhaps God and the Father are the same in their hearts.
A race of life that is still in the age of ignorance cannot be asked to understand something so complex.
Zhu Huan thought.
Since you want to choose a name, it's called the UFO.
It means that they are the children of their own ghosts, and they can fly around and float.
In fact, he just wanted to be quiet.
So take a name and send away this group of overly energetic guys.
It turned out to make them even more excited.
"UFO, it turns out that we are UFOs."
"God! You are God! ”
"Is this divine power?"
"It's amazing."
Zhu Huan was speechless.
What is this called, is it called divine power by any name?
However, in order to prevent them from encroaching and blaspheming the real gods, Zhu Huan still reminded them that he was not a god and let them call them by their own names, Zhu Huan.
Then the UFOs began to call Lord Zhu Huan.
Zhu Huan had forgotten a lot of things, and he felt that he must have suffered some kind of huge injury and accident, so his mind was so mutilated that the current ghost body became thin and blurred.
Memories are disorganized and scattered.
He knew that his name was Zhu Huan, he believed in the great god Yao, and his hometown was somewhere near the distant Yunzhong Temple.
Many Yao people like themselves have died outside, as if to explore more and farther worlds.
But I can't remember the details.
The UFOs have been very useful in this regard.
They surround Zhu Huan, sing hymns every day, and in addition, they invite Zhu Huan to go to the ancestral land, which is also the place where the UFOs were born.
Although large areas of the world are already overgrown with barnyard grass, it is the only place where the ghostly float grows.
Zhu Huan followed them to the ancestral land.
In the center of this area is a pit, and the yellow sand and barnyard grass in it are wrapped in a heavy stone armor, which looks like a straw man.
A lot of barnyard grass grows in the crevices of the stone armor, and the grass seeds shed from their ears will give birth to ghostly floats.
The flesh and skin of the armor had disappeared, and only a skeleton covered with barnyard grass remained, and the deceased was in a serene posture.
There is also a box buried next to it.
Zhu Huan struggled to open it and found that there were two crystal pieces on the top.
The first chip shows a photo of a child and his parents, with a mountain shaped like horns in the background. The family of three was smiling happily.
On the second chip, there is still a slender young man with short hair in front of Niujiao Mountain, and behind him are two middle-aged men and women who are old and have gray hair.
Zhu Huan's memory gradually recovered.
This wafer - the crystalline phase is itself.
He remembered.
My home is in Chaling, a place rich in tea, with abundant precipitation all year round, warm and humid, and a variety of vegetation and crops are very rich.
Since he was a child, he has been fond of all kinds of plants and wants to become an agronomist who studies crops.
But as his studies deepened, Zhu Huan realized the current situation of a Yao civilization, and everyone didn't seem to need new farmers and related researchers.
The food supply in each world is very abundant, and even in places with little arable land such as Blood Hills, you can get a steady stream of low-cost food supplies from the Resurrection Kingdom.
Grain prices have fallen again and again, and there is no demand or motivation for all localities to open up arable land.
Farming seems to have turned into an antique-like profession.
There are huge farms of the White Bone Ancestors, which seems to be enough to solve everyone's food problems.
Zhu Huan studies a variety of wild species, looking for valuable individuals.
It's a very difficult road.
Because farmers, biologists and explorers have already traveled many Yao worlds, valuable species have been collected, and the predecessors have almost walked this path, and there are only some purely research-oriented species left.
Research is okay for reference, but it's basically not very useful.
The more he learned about the current situation, the more Zhu Huan felt depressed.
Why learn such useless knowledge?
Just when everyone else heard what he was doing, they would look at the rare animals.
"Agronomist? Yes? Are you coming really? What can't you think of......"
"Then you should be able to raise off-road rabbits and skeleton dogs, right? It's a creature, too. Now the pet industry is very good, promising. My skeletal dog has been wrong lately, can you help me take a look? ”
"There is no shortage of people in the tea garden, you go to the zoo to apply for a job?"
……
Only parents show their support.
My father drank tea and said, "I still think that any knowledge is useful. In the past, it was said that martial monks had no future at all, but Master Shiojiu still walked out of a path, and now he is still serving as an apostle in Blood Hill, don't be discouraged, look forward, the road is out. Focus on what you can do and do your best. ”
The mother also comforted: "Not everyone has to learn talismans, become an engineer, be a city official and a businessman, and do what they like." No big deal. ”
The support of his family gave Zhu Huan great encouragement.
He's not the kind of character who wants to prove himself the more he is looked down upon.
Zhu Huan simply likes all kinds of plants, especially those that can help people. He likes to observe and grow, to study what they are used for, to think about how to use them, to live with people.
While working as a cross-country rabbit breeder, he continued to search for and study wild plants.
Valuable species have not been found for a long time, but some harmful species have been discovered.
Zhu Huan found a kind of barnyard grass, which grows in the desert of Yunzhong Temple, which is small and dry, and is often buried in the sand, which is very inconspicuous. In addition to its strong ability to survive, desert barnyard grass can also produce a sour grass seed, which can be used as food and eaten by shell cockroaches.
Where the wind is stronger, the desert barnyard grass grows better.
He thought to himself.
Everything has a role in nature, so let's try to develop harmful species.
Zhu Huan obtained permission from the Sun Kingdom to transplant it to an experimental field on a desert island on Chau Island, where the sea was windy, and soon the desert barnyard grass became lush and green, and the growth and change accelerated.
After intermittent experiments, Zhu Huan confirmed its characteristics.
As long as there is wind, they can grow quickly. This species has almost no water in its body, and is made up of dry, flexible reticulate filaments that grow as long as sand or rocks are attached.
He named it "Gravel Grass".
Zhu Huan declared his research to the Sun Kingdom.
His plan is that gravelly grass can be planted in various gravel worlds.
The rules of the gravel world are broken, but there are quite a few winds in the world, and the impact of external turbulence will also cause winds within the world. This natural environment is suitable for the growth of gravelly grass.
To reclaim the barren world outside, gravel grass is very suitable.
Three years later, he received approval and a grant to board the Road Goddess as one of three scholars to participate in experiments on the near-Earth gravel world.
On the same voyage ship, there is also the rosologist Quimper of the [Oriental Rose Academy]. He has published a number of articles, is well-known and handsome, and is engaged in the cultivation and improvement of extraterrestrial sand roses.
The other is the sorcerer Satomi Akira. In addition to being a [Rose Talisman] engineer and a druid born with the blessing of the god Yao, she has a natural affinity for nature, can perceive subtle changes in the natural world, and can turn into a deer and a fox.
Walking with the two elites, Zhu Huan was under a lot of pressure.
Quimper and Akazato's local customs and beliefs, void creatures, talisman principles, and elemental structures...... Zhu Huan didn't understand at all, and he could only nod awkwardly when asked.
In order to get out of this painful situation, he applied to plant gravel grass on the fragments of this world for a long time and observe the experimental fields.
Working with the land and plants made Zhu Huan relax a lot.
Since then, however, the flying boat has never been visited.
