Establish diplomatic relations with another world

The old tree man and Shen Yannian had similar guesses as to why the little tree man suddenly entered the growing season.

This year, the little tree man ate very well.

Compared with the precarious situation in the past, the little tree man now does not drink the best-tasting nutrient solution, is picky about what time it is, and takes the nutrient solution package as a snack when he has nothing to do.

These nutrient solutions are formulated by modern plant experts based on experience to provide the most comprehensive nutritional supplements for tree species. A few bags are enough for a ten-year-old tree to provide nutrition for one winter. Small tree people can have a few bags a day, so will there be no problem? ?

If modern children consume too much nutrients too early, it will also affect their development and make them mature early. Although Shuren is different from human beings, the reason is understandable.

When the body absorbs enough nutrients, it naturally deceives the genes in the body, making it mistakenly think that the body is ready for evolution, and then enters the growth period ahead of schedule.

After discussion, this possibility was generally accepted.

After letting go of his worries about the child, the old tree man who came to this conclusion began to get angry, and he beat the young tree man violently.

Ah, now it's called Shen Xiaohe, and the grown-up little tree figure has grown a bit taller, still looks like a teenager, slightly shorter than Bai Cheng, thin, gentle.

It's just that the way ghosts and wolves howl when they are beaten is very detrimental to the image.

The old priest looked at Shen Yannian: "Aren't you going to persuade him?" Poor, the old tree people are all smoked on the vines!

Shen Yannian snorted: "Stinky boy, he doesn't have a taste for food, he deserves to be beaten!"

I was worried for several days, and it turned out that the cause was caused by the child's gluttony.

Shouldn't you fight?

After the old tree man gave Shen Xiaohe a good beating to vent his anger, everyone guessed that they could calm down and study the changes in Shen Xiaohe.

In addition to growing taller, Shen Xiaohe's rhizomes became harder and more prosperous.

"The rhizomes of treants are also suitable for a weapon. In order to take root in deeper ground, their strength is sometimes stronger than vines!" said the old treant.

Speaking of vines, Shen Xiaohe also grew vines on his body. He twisted them to look like hands, so that when he was in tree human form, he would wear a piece of clothing that looked more like a human figure.

The old tree man asked Shen Xiaohe to experiment with the strength of his vines. They were very flexible and powerful. In terms of combat ability, Shen Xiaohe should be able to defeat Bai Yan with more combat experience.

"Hmph!" Bai Yan who pressed Shen Xiaohe to the ground and rubbed it was very unconvinced!

"..." The old tree man emphasized again, "After Xiaohe has gained more fighting experience."

However, Xiaohe's ability to control animals is stronger now. If the little tree man in the past faced the old tree man, the animals would undoubtedly be controlled by the old tree man. Now, if Shen Xiaohe works hard, he may be able to Let a group of animals hesitate.

"Why do you want to snatch this kind of control?" Shen Yannian still didn't realize it.

The old tree man laughed: "There are also fights between tree people. The animals we control are one of our best weapons. How can we not use them in a fight? If you have strong control ability, you can control the opponent's animals." , On the contrary, their own animals are being manipulated by humans! Therefore, all tree people will pay attention to this aspect of exercise to improve their abilities."

Shen Yannian nodded: So that's the case.

But this time Shen Xiaohe's evolution was not completely successful.

The old tree man is very regretful and anxious: "A normal tree man will directly turn into a young man after the first growth period. Xiaohe seems to have only grown to half this time. I don't know if there will be a second time when he is 15 years old. grow..."

No one can guarantee this thing, and everyone has been worried for a while, so they can only put it aside temporarily.

But Shen Yannian, who originally wanted to make a diet plan for Shen Xiaohe, thought about it afterward and compromised.

Eat, eat, eat more, you can grow as much as you can now, in case your treants have a growth stop period like humans, then your baby will not grow taller, isn't it going to become a dwarf of the treant race?

Shen · Broken hearted old father · Yannian: You are too ugly, what if you don't get a wife in the future?

At the same time, Xia could no longer restrain his anxiety, and rushed to ask the old tree man to question him.

"You told me before that we should be careful and beware of human beings. It's okay to be friendly, but not to leak too much core information about the tree people. But why did you tell Shen Yannian and the others about so many things about the growth period this time? And let Xiaohe show them Ability, cooperate with them to check?" Xia really didn't understand, didn't Bei always distrust human beings?

The old tree man looked at him and frowned: "I saw you look unkind before, and seemed to be full of complaints about me, but you haven't reacted until now, I'm very disappointed!"

Xia was tongue-tied: "What?"

The old tree man let out a long breath: "The civil war between our tree-human race is just around the corner, why haven't you learned to use your brain? Think about Xiao He's improved growth period this time, think about where we are now, this winter How did we live, come and yell at me again!"

Xia was reprimanded instead of questioning, full of dissatisfaction.

Didn't Shen Xiaohe enter the growth period early because of stealing food, what's the matter?They are in New Baicheng now, but they are not here to learn human technology?Driving and flying an airship to learn to read and write... This winter is very comfortable and moist, what's the problem?

The old tree man knew from his expression that he still hadn't reacted, and he was completely desperate for this younger brother: "Didn't you realize that this winter, we have been running back and forth between the territory and New Baicheng? We hardly have time to dig into the soil ?”

Xia Shun said: "What's the matter, aren't we all busy here..." Halfway through speaking, a clever idea suddenly occurred to him.

That's right, they are almost running around, studying, and busy this winter, and they don't spend most of their time rooting in the soil to absorb nutrients like usual.

They were liberated from the soil.

The old tree man was a little melancholy, but also looking forward to it, and said with a complicated expression: "This winter, I have done more things than I do in a year! Human nutrient solution, we even need to stick needles on our bodies, and we don't even need to absorb it ourselves." It can guarantee our nutritional needs for a day! As long as we drink those nutrient solutions on time, we will not be afraid of starvation. Now, Xiao He has passed the growth period just by drinking the nutrient solution to absorb chemical fertilizers... One by one, you Do you think we will have to work hard to find a territory to spend the growth period in the future?"

At this moment, a series of information finally appeared clearly in Xia's mind. The chain of benefits passed on layer by layer, and the shocking results, he stayed for a long time before he murmured: "That is to say, as long as we have chemical fertilizers and nutrient solution , we can eat enough, we don't need to spend time taking root in the land, we don't need to spend time looking for territories, we... can be like humans, as long as there is a supply of nutrient solution, we can run around the world?"

"The nutrient solution is the 'food' of our tree-human race?"

Xia is not a fool, so he naturally knows what this means to the Treeman.

In the past, they only used fertilizers and nutrient solutions as a kind of fertility growth agent in the land. Although they also valued joy, no one ever thought about whether these could directly replace the land for them to absorb nutrients.

But this time, Shen Xiaohe set an example for them.

This stinky boy, because he is playful and has no elders to restrain him at home, refuses to turn into a tree shape to absorb the nutrients of the land every day, and lives only on the nutrient solution. entered the growth period.

"I have carefully tested the body wood crystal energy in his body before, and it is not weaker than the tree people who lived normally, and even stronger." The old tree man turned to the surprised Xia, "If this is the case, the clan will not be weaker in the future." When a newborn arrives, you won’t be afraid of going hungry.”

Xia's body trembled, and he couldn't speak anymore.

Tree people have a long lifespan, and the probability of conceiving is no higher than that of humans. In one year, tree people can have at most twenty children in their lifetime. However, adult female tree people can only give birth to a dozen children at most, and more , is five, six.

It's not because I don't want to have a baby, but because I can't afford it.

From birth to growth, a tree person needs too many nutrients.

Why did the Ents drive older children out of the house and let them find territory on their own?It's not because the family really can't afford it anymore.

If, as they thought, the nutrient solution could replace the soil as their "food", the tree people wouldn't have to starve.

Whoever is hungry, just take out a pack and eat it. In the future, everyone can have a baby with peace of mind, without worrying that they will starve to death!

The old tree man shook his head: "More than that, as long as the nutrient solution can be used, we don't need to fight for those lands anymore!"

It was only then that Xia thought of this episode, and it was at this time that his color changed completely.

The most acute conflict between tree people and between tree people and human beings lies in the competition for land.

Everyone wants to live, so let the other party die.

The contradiction between tree people is all the more because of this.

But now, if the nutrient solution can really free them from the shackles of the land, and everyone has food, then there is no need to go to war to grab other people's land, and there is no need to kill the same clan and feed on the flesh and blood of the same clan.

"This way, we won't have to fight..." Xia murmured.

How many people died of the Hua family in ancient times because of land annexation?In modern society, who cares about those acres of land?It is one thing to return the ownership to the state. The biggest reason is that everyone no longer needs to rely on the land for food.

Without the biggest source of disputes, it is possible for everyone to live in peace.

"Xia, do you still remember the eldest brother and the second brother?"

The old tree man asked suddenly.

Xia was confused and didn't understand what it meant: "I haven't seen it for almost 50 or [-] years. What's wrong?"

The old tree man shook his head: "I just remembered that everyone separated after they became adults, and it seems that they never got together again."

Xia Shi smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Mother gave birth to twelve of us. If we all get together, how much will we consume every day..."

The rest of the words stopped like this, Xia suddenly realized that these things that once restricted them are no longer a problem now.

Gathering the Ents is too troublesome, because no matter how fertile the land is, if fifty Ents take root at the same time, it will take at most a month to finish playing, so the Ents are already used to it, once they part, maybe there will be no reunion in this life. day!

"Maybe, we can make an appointment, and everyone will meet in the spring..."
