How am I still alive

Chapter 399 Demon Plantation

"Teacher, I haven't received your text message for several days. Are you busy recently?"

Lu Pingan called out to be a teacher, but what he was facing was indeed a huge pine tree.

Then, a mechanically synthesized sound came out from the speaker next to it.

". I was so busy that I sent several foreign magic plants from outside, and they were so picky that they were dying. They managed to feed half of them, but they said they did a good job and sent another batch. Heh, there are still more. Ask me to do school integration, I have this spare time, so many samples don’t need me to watch them personally, they will immediately get out of control.”

When mentioning work, Professor Wen can't stop talking.

Lu Ping'an is also used to this academic boss, and when Mo Zhi is mentioned, he acts impulsively like a child.

This is an internal demiplane of Gucheng University, a super botanical garden covering an area of ​​several square kilometers.

Walking in it, there are fantasy flowers being weaved in circles, vines twisted and twisted on the tower, and countless exotic flowers and fruits.

If you look down from the top, you can see dozens of small and medium-sized experimental areas divided by the main road, each with a different environment and terrain, and different types of plants.

Walking on the main road, it is relatively safe, and you can say hello and chat with the passing staff and green elves.

Of course, if you have a good relationship with the owner here, you can also chat with him, him, and him along the way, and his parasites are everywhere along the way.

".It seems that your first ceremony is progressing well, and I can feel your affinity."

Along the way, when Lu Ping'an walked there, the mechanical synthesis sound would automatically sound there.

And this is not a communicator, but Professor Wen spoke directly through his "clone".

Those mechanical speakers just converted the "plant's nerve vibration" into corresponding synthetic sounds. The entire underground of the botanical garden is his roots, and all the plants are connected with him.

Although at this stage, it is only the most basic "understanding the natural conditions such as terminal water, soil, temperature" and "connecting with the magic plant to understand its physiological state", but in essence, he has mastered countless lives at the same time with one individual. .

This is proper multi-threaded processing.

Lu Pingan found his main body in the No. [-] test area, and he was walking up and down around some "potted plants" in glass cabinets.

That was the treasure he just got, the exotic magic plant that he had been bragging about for a long time. Maybe the reform was also an opportunity for him. He even said that if it wasn't for his age, he would go out and see for himself.

Unlike regular researchers in white coats, he is naked from the upper body, and countless wooden tentacles are derived from his back, some of which are threaded in mid-air, some are inserted into the ground, and some are chained to other magic plants.

Brownish-yellow complexion, like the wrinkled bark of an ancient banyan tree, his hands are busy, but the tentacles behind him are also waving with all their strength.

"...from every angle, not very human"

Lu Pingan smiled, perhaps, this is the result that no matter how Professor Wen sells the parasitic tree, he can't sell it. Even if a student accidentally agrees, seeing his "grand occasion" at work, he must think about himself Do you still want to be a person.

But Lu Pingan also knew that these were only a small part of Professor Wen's parasitic tree.

The real locality of his symbiotic "netted banyan tree" is actually underground. It is a super underground network composed of countless tentacles, which undertake the functions of perception and touch. What is on Professor Wen's body is actually just some temporary derivative plug-ins. Similar to split prosthetics external excuses.

Only when he really sits on the wooden chair in the middle of the laboratory and completely connects with the "banyan tree" can he be a complete parasitic tree and can turn the entire botanical garden into his body.

How strong is it?I don't know, because this is not about fighting at all, and Professor Wen won't just find something to fight.

However, according to other senior brothers and sisters, those who caused trouble here did not go back. In the past, there was a fifth-order person who came here to "borrow" things, but he disappeared directly. After a few days, only the mummy was found.

The field, or your own "forest" and "garden", is the real way for a gardener to play.

"...show me your arm"

At the teacher's request, Lu Ping'an pulled open his sleeves and stretched out his arms with faintly light green cortex.

After seeing it, Professor Wen touched it, felt the subtle touch, and subconsciously nodded.

Lu Ping'an was not just kidding, he really planned to take this bumpy route. He was immediately enthusiastic, after all, it was rare to meet a disciple who cared so much about "study" and "truth".

"Many people have prejudices against us, but as a researcher, how can you gain anything if you don't pay, and always have the arrogance of intelligent creatures, how can you see clearly the strange and natural life structure of enchanted plants, and truly step into that world?" Can you hear the natural heaven that belongs to the spirits now?"

Suddenly, Professor Wen asked a seemingly insignificant question.

".Yes, quite annoying."

He asked endlessly, but Lu Pingan knew what he was talking about.

[Spiritual veins of the forest (brass middle position): There is a breath of nature flowing in your blood, and in the senses of other plants, you are no longer a simple alien, but a member of them. 】

These are the three basic abilities of the subordinates after completing the first self-curse and obtaining the "Heart of the Ancient Tree".

Looks good to use?Lu Pingan almost lost sleep because of it.

"When I used the life perception ability before, I also vaguely felt their greed and noise, but I didn't expect that there would be such a great hostility."

Yes, hostility. When Lu Pingan became Mozhi's "similar" in a sense, what he got was not smooth communication, but the subconscious defense, hostility, and even direct attack of other Mozhi.

"Hehe, it's all the same, you are quite powerful as an independent individual, and when a tiger enters another lion's territory, they are worried that you will seize their map and absorb their survival resources"

After finishing the self-curse, Lu Pingan realized that Mo Zhi's aggressiveness and vigilance were even stronger than many carnivorous animals.

They can express friendliness to other "animals", and even ignore their actions and living around their bodies, but if a "magic plant" appears around them, they will attack immediately.

Lu Pingan rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a little headache, his own magic plants are fine, after all, he is their creator, and there is still Lu Pingan's vitality in his body.

But wild magic plants, as well as those unfamiliar ones, all kinds of warnings and aggressive behaviors are really annoying.

"...Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Became a gardener, but ended up being hated by the magic plant."

"Hehe, that's because you haven't finished your job yet. The parasitic tree has a professional ability to solve this problem. You have to open it up a bit. Other gardeners are not qualified to be hated by Mozhi. They are all 'outsiders' of Mozhi. .Hate and disgust are also feelings, at least they remember you, so they have a chance to really communicate with them. And when you complete the advanced level, they will like you from the beginning."

The countless tentacles behind Professor Wen spread out, constantly communicating with the surrounding magic plants, and the joyful feelings they feedback are the best evidence.

"Have other abilities awakened?"

"Yes, but very weak, very weak."

As he spoke, Lu Pingan scratched his finger with a knife, and blood oozed out.

But leave it alone, the wound closed up on its own and healed quickly. It took a full 2 ​​minutes for the whole process. Obviously, this has no practical value.

"Normally, the self-curse ritual is just a seed. As long as it germinates normally, it will grow into a big tree sooner or later."

Seeing that Lu Pingan got another core ability of the parasitic tree, Professor Wen smiled with satisfaction.

[Bark (brass median): Your skin and subcutaneous cells have a certain degree of 'vegetalization', have a weak degree of toughness, and have a certain degree of regeneration ability (absorb water and nutrients, which can accelerate regeneration speed), A degree of "photosynthesis" the ability to extract heat and nutrients. 】

This ability is currently meaningless, but it is obviously the core ability of the parasitic tree, and it is also a potential stock with a very high growth limit.

The subordinates of the heart of the ancient tree have three basic abilities. Professor Wen didn't ask about the last ability. He knew that there was no possibility of awakening at this stage, but Lu Ping'an's system panel had already given a reminder.

[Plant gene (gestating): Your physical cell division ability will exceed the limit of normal animals, and your single cell will start to record your complete regeneration gene, just like a broken branch can grow into a towering tree.As long as the nutrition can keep up, you will have no real vital points. 】

It is said that this ability can only be awakened in essence after becoming a real parasitic tree.

Of course, this is not true immortality, an ordinary Tier [-] cannot do it.

But in case you are missing an arm and an internal organ, if you don’t die on the spot, you can slowly regenerate back. According to Professor Wen, if your head explodes at this stage, you will still die.

The three basic abilities have transformed the cortex (flesh and flesh), the inner body (genes), and the blood (breath) respectively. They seem to be three abilities, but in fact they are all completely "vegetative" processes, and they are the embodiment of the "heart of the ancient tree". modernized.

It's just that Lu Ping'an is very satisfied with the first of the three major curses, but it's hard to say whether it is strong or not, but two of the three basic changes are points of regeneration and defense, and the meat is real meat.

"Lu Ping'an, I found the type of magic plant you want me to pay attention to, and it's in stock now, do you want to trade it?"

This time Lu Pingan came here specially, but not just to show Professor Wen the progress.

"Of course, apart from asking you some questions, that's why I'm here. If I have them, my second scene will be hopeful. Teacher, how about giving me some advice?"
