The age of great voyages

Chapter 107 The Dangerous Neighbor

Ten days after returning, Lin Chen, who was practicing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, suddenly heard a vibration from his soul, and then a voice appeared in his mind out of thin air:
"Master, I'm ready."

"tree of Life!"

Lin Chen looked back happily at the back of the Lord's Mansion. He couldn't see anything because of the hidden magic circle, but he could feel a huge tree full of life behind the Lord's Mansion in his consciousness.

The tree of life continued to grow for more than half a month, and finally grew to the maximum height of 400 meters for this seed of life. It can continue to grow in the future, but it cannot be as fast as it is now.

With Lady Scarlet, sister-in-law and uncle climbed over the high wall and entered the back of the base, and entered the concealment circle, a huge breath of life rushed to her face. My sister-in-law already knew that the tree of life was also looking at the towering sky at this time. The giant tree in the sky was amazed and said:
"Xiaochen, you have to hide this tree of life well. Don't expose it until the base doesn't have enough defense."

Lin Chen nodded loudly:

"I know."

Looking frantically at the giant tree in the sky, a panel popped up in front of him, displaying the complete tree of life information.

The Tree of Life that has grown to the limit of the Seed of Life is far less tall than the original fallen Tree of Life, but it is still close to 500 meters in height. The huge tree canopy covers two to three kilometers, and the main tree trunk is close to 50 meters. It looks thick. Unbelievable, standing in front of it is like standing in front of a mountain.

Compared with the fallen tree of life, although the tree of life in front of him is much smaller in size, the breath of life emanating from it is stronger than Lin Chen's imagination, and it has condensed into a light green mist of life. The lingering clouds and mist flow and surround the rugged trees.

If he wanted, he could now use these overflowing breaths of life to condense the water of life, or miracle life.

The miraculous life does not condense for the time being. This consumes too much life energy, and the incubation time is very long. The basic incubation time is at least one month. If the miraculous life is more powerful or the potential is stronger, the incubation time will be longer.

Just like the original elves, they were cultivated in the same way at the beginning. Only when there were enough elves in the future, did they start to breed new elves by mating like humans.

However, the new elves are inferior to the original elves, not only in potential but also in strength.

The original elves belonged to miraculous beings, and their upper limit of potential exceeded the sixth level. Later, the descendants of the elves born among the elves were no longer miraculous beings, and their upper limit of potential dropped sharply. Under normal circumstances, the upper limit is the fifth level. The sixth-level existence of immortals.

Nurturing a miraculous life with a potential of more than six levels will consume a lot of power of the tree of life, especially during the incubation period, the power of the tree of life will decline, just like the weak period of childbirth. Now the base is still unstable, and Lin Chen can't help it. Dare to do it.

It is not possible to condense miraculous life, but it is not a problem to condense the water of life. The water of life is condensed using the power of life overflowing from the tree of life, which has little effect on the power of the tree of life. Lin Chen ordered the tree of life immediately Start to condense.

The moment he gave the order, the mist of life surrounding the tree of life shrank rapidly, forming a huge vortex of mist of life at the center of the tree top, where the water of life condensed, and it took ten days to condense a single drop.

Next, Lin Chen ordered the tree of life to display its third function, controlling the surrounding natural forces, calling wind and rain, and making life grow.

However, there are no plants around the Tree of Life for the time being, so he specially took out some seeds from the Rubik's Cube space, and took a few of each kind.

Since the establishment of the base warehouse, Lin Chen has taken out all the unimportant things in the Rubik's Cube space and stored them in the warehouse, leaving only a small part of food and water, and a small part of rare seeds. The Rubik's Cube space is much empty now.

These seeds are rare and rare seeds, and the storage conditions are harsh. The warehouse he just built is very simple and has no storage conditions at all, so he can only store them in the Rubik's Cube space.

He buried a tree seed of thorns in a small pit more than 100 meters away from the tree of life, poured some water, and then under the gaze of everyone, a fog suddenly appeared in the air, which slowly turned into drizzle It falls and wets the surrounding ground.

If ordinary people saw this scene, they might exclaim that it was a miracle. You must know that this world is a barren place, second only to the desert. There is no green in the entire world, and there is no water. It may rain for hundreds of years. It has never rained before, but after possessing the Tree of Life, raining is just a basic operation. The rainwater with the breath of life wets the ground, and streams of light green mist stick to the ground and converge towards the small pit where the seeds are buried, and flow into it. .

A few seconds later, a miracle happened, the wet ground suddenly arched, and was soon arched open, protruding from it a twig with protruding parts, which was stretching upwards in sections.

In less than a minute, a tender green vine with the thickness of an arm more than ten meters long grew from the place where the seeds were buried, and continued to grow.

The giant thorn tree is actually a vine plant that can grow many thorny vines covered with hard and sharp thorns. At most, the thorn vines grown by a single giant thorn tree can form a forest.

Through the urging of the tree of life, Lin Chen made these thorn trees grow according to his will, and eventually they would grow horizontally to the left and right to form a tall and dense wall of thorns, and finally formed a large circle around the tree of life. The tree of life is attuned, turning the tree of thorns into an ancient tree with self-wisdom, which eventually becomes a part of the tree of life's self-defense system.

But this is something that will happen in the future. Even with the catalysis of the tree of life, it will take a long time for the tree of thorns to grow to surround the tree of life.

Normally, it should be very fast, but due to the limitations of the fragments of this world that have no water life and are extremely barren, it can only be catalyzed by the tree of life, which will take a long time.

Lin Chen couldn't do anything about it. He was already thinking of a way. He ordered the mountain giant Wang Xiaoxiao to take the time to hollow out the ground around the Tree of Life when he was free, and dig a huge pit around the Tree of Life. Then through Xu Yiqing's relationship, invite a high-level professional water magician to communicate with a world with abundant water resources and get water from that world.

It is impossible for life to survive in a world without water. Even if there is a tree of life to regulate it, it is useless. The tree of life cannot change water out of thin air. The water that calls the wind and rain is also drawn from the current world.

The base currently uses the same [-] tons of water he purchased before, which was enough originally. However, after Lin Chen bought a group of slaves and hired this engineering team, the water usage became more severe, and now only a quarter is left. Even if he didn't arrive, he was going to buy another batch of clean water, save a little and make use of it, and wait until he gets through with other water worlds to attract running water.

At that time, use the ability of the tree of life to adjust the water resources so that it only circulates around the base, slowly changing the environment, and turning this desert into a good farmland in the south of the Yangtze River is no problem.

Transforming a world consumes an unusually large amount of money. If it weren't for the tree of life, even consuming hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of eternal points might not be able to solve his current fragmented world situation.

Next, Lin Chen planted the seeds of a tree of thorns in the other three corners of the Tree of Life, allowing them to grow and sprout. Based on these four trees of thorns, he built the future wall of thorns, and then planted several more trees. Rare tree species are no longer planted.

Without enough water, even if there is a tree of life, it can't be born, so it can only be done temporarily.

Coming out of the forbidden area behind the base, the surprise on the faces of my sister-in-law and uncle has not subsided. The two looked shocked, but they didn't know what to say for a while. Lin Chen waved his hand to indicate that he wanted to rest. Turn around and leave.

On the way, he frowned and was full of thoughts. He was thinking about the next development of the territory.

When the base is successfully transformed through the natural adjustment ability of the tree of life, the situation of the base will definitely be paid attention to by interested people. At that time, even if the tree of life under the large hidden magic circle cannot be seen, this earth-shaking change can be guessed If you get it, you will inevitably face prying and coveting eyes from all walks of life at that time, and the days when the base can develop with peace of mind will definitely be gone forever.

At that time, he can no longer develop secretly. Not only will his every move be exposed to the eyes of other competitors, but he will also need to face the constant teasing and even direct attacks of other competitors.

This is inevitable, because after becoming a partner with Xu Yiqing, he has received Xu Yiqing's spare no effort to help him. It is impossible to give money directly, and there is no additional discount, but he can get Xu Yiqing's intelligence support.

It's not that he secretly told Lin Chen the internal information of the Chamber of Commerce, but that if the Condor Chamber of Commerce obtains the huge changes in the Leiyuan World Fragment Group and important news in the Leiyuan No. [-] World Fragment Group, it can directly remind Lin Chen to buy.

It seems that it is useless to ask for money, but in fact it is very useful. It is very important to quickly obtain all the information related to yourself and accurately understand the movements of competitors. As long as it is true and reliable, you can spend money No amount of money is necessary.

Just like now, Lin Chen has obtained the basic information revealed by the two direct competitors around him without spending much money.

One is located in the south of the fragmented world where he is now. The base is called Frostwolf Territory. It is named after the most powerful third-tier lair heart, Frostwolf Winter. The function of cold energy can also increase each other after gathering in groups, and the strength is very powerful.

Another group of world fragments is located on the west side of the base. Its base is called Sky Cloud Territory. The most powerful third-tier lair heart in its territory is the Minotaur. This is a humanoid monster with a three-star rating. With its melee ability, there is a very small chance of going berserk in battle. Once it goes berserk, its combat power will increase dramatically, and ordinary three-star top-grade creatures can't beat the minotaur in this state.

At the same time, this Tianyun Territory is also Lin Chen's biggest enemy, because the owner of this territory, Xu Zhuangzhuang, a super fat man weighing more than 900 kilograms, is the investment target of Xu Yiqing's senior sister Hongyu. The heart of the lair developed much earlier than Lin Chen, and now has accumulated a large wave of troops.

However, Lin Chen was lucky. When he started to develop, it happened that the Sky Cloud Territory was at war with a nearby territory. In addition, the fragments of the world he lived in were too barren. It was impossible for normal people to choose to build a base here. The Frostwolf leader didn't pay attention to this area at all at first. If it wasn't for Lin Chen's inexperience, he directly put down the heart of the lair to attract the attention of the Sandworm Kingdom. Maybe he has been developing for a year or two, and neither of his neighbors may necessarily find him.

Of course, the information about him as a little lord must have already been placed on the desks of the two neighbors, but he has just developed now, and one of the two neighbors is fighting, and they are wary of each other, so they haven't done anything for a while.

Anyway, in the past few days, he has been continuously receiving warnings from the Scarlet Lady and the Tree of Life. There have been spies around the base, and he doesn't know which neighbor sent them.

There are indications that his days of easy farming are coming to an end, and he will have to face the temptations and challenges of his two neighbors, so that he will have a future to talk about.

Constantly counting his cards in his heart, Lin Chen found that with his current strength, he might not be able to stop the attacks of the two neighbors.

It has been less than two months since he established the base and put down the first lair heart, and he has only recruited a wave of lair creatures now, and the development time of the two neighbors is longer than him, and the longest one is the Frostwolf leader. It's been a year and a half. Although the short Tianyun collar has only been here for more than half a year, he can't stand the money. There are a total of four nest hearts together, and there are quite a lot of nest creatures recruited in half a year.

Of course, Lin Chen has the advantage of defending the city. Archers, a long-range unit, are very advantageous in defending the city, but the advantage cannot be brought into play due to insufficient numbers. Unless he is given a few more months to accumulate thousands of archers, he can forcibly defend the city, but The question is whether the other party will give him a few months.

In addition, Lin Chen felt that he didn't have enough money, and wanted to sell two more units of the world's origin power to raise some money.

Although it has only cost more than 1000 eternal points since establishing the base, there are still more than 8000 left. Under normal circumstances, slowly using it and adding the water of life can make back some of the money and maintain a balance of income and expenses.

But the problem is that he lacks time, especially the upgrade of the two lair hearts costs too much money. Any one from the second level to the third level needs [-] eternal points plus ten second-level spirit stones. Such a large amount of money is slow. He couldn't afford to wait for how long he had to save for slow earning.

Considering the threat he was facing, Lin Chen hesitated all night, and finally decided to sell two units of the world origin first, and upgrade the heart of the lair to the third level first.

Nest troops can only fight against the same level. The second level is a complete crushing of the third level. Without several times superior troops and excellent command, there is no way to fight. If you want to defeat the two neighbors in the future, these two nest hearts must be upgraded. .
