Chapter 492: The Tree Shepherd and the Fruit of Wisdom

"Mu... Mu Hua, that... that!" Pointing to Thursday, who was flying towards the sky, Vivian pulled Mu Hua and said.

"Well, that's Thursday, haha, from now on, please call me Arch Druid." Mu Hua said happily, throwing the plant essence in his hand.

"It's... the fourth day of the week? Your retinue? What is it?" Although they didn't know why Mu Hua was so angry, several people ignored his great druid's words and questioned.

"Well, this guy is unlucky. He was harmed by an abyss monster. He is still recovering from his injuries. He should be regarded as a young Leviathan." When Mu Hua said this, he waved his hand and walked out of the camp.

Thursday was indeed injured by the abyss monster, but the wounds on his soul had basically recovered, and the so-called healing was for the soul tentacles chopped off by Mu Hua.

Mu Hua's words were unclear, and Tabitha and the other three had only half-understanding, and they chased after Mu Hua. The word Leviathan made the three of them think about it, but they even forgot about the imp corpse they brought back.

Following Mu Hua's narration, several people roughly knew the origin of Thursday. They couldn't say for a while whether Mu Hua had cheated him on Thursday, but they also lamented Mu Hua's good luck in getting a strategy like Leviathan. The devil of style.

"I brought some goblins back, and I'm planning to release monsters to the east in the future. If any goblins come here in the near future, try not to kill them if you can."

"Bertha, take the time to go to the Warcraft Courtyard to catch some Warcraft back later. They don't have to be too strong. Find the ones you can suppress and rush to the east."

Mu Hua told Tebitha that he wanted to expand the ecological environment of the Abyss Island, but the Warcraft Garden was as protected against ghosts and gods as it was against thieves, so Tebitha still needed to lead people to do this kind of thing.

In response to Mu Hua's instructions, Mu Hua and Taibeisha thought about the issue of war beasts, including psychic physiques, guardian spirits, war pets, and attribute magic. Thinking about the configuration that Mu Hua was going to give to the team members, Taibei Sha's thoughts began to wander again.

Let Tabitha catch the monsters, and Mu Hua can also catch some flying dragons.

However, he planned to see if the demon merchant could get him an ambergris bush first. If he had ambergris fruit, it would be easier to train the flying dragons. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome to restrain the flying dragons without killing or maiming them.

Mu Hua quickly left the camp and came to the place where the golden apple trees were planted. Several golden apple saplings in the camp had long since died, and only two wilted saplings were still alive outside the camp.

"Doesn't this plant essence need to be used in the World Tree? This thing is not cheap to sell from the devil merchant." She poked the juice in Mu Hua's hand with her finger, and Barbara waited curiously for Mu Hua to do it.

"Only plants with annual rings that have survived for more than five hundred years can be ingested. There is no clear way to practice natural secrets. Gluttony often follows the path of elemental spirits. Generally, those who can ingest plant essences should be high-level Aomori demons. , it’s understandable if it’s expensive.”

"The specifications of the World Tree are too high, and the survival of the Golden Apple Tree requires the use of higher-level creatures as nutrients. Well, at the very least, we should bury some high-level monsters to use as fertilizer for it."

"If we can turn this golden apple tree into a tree shepherd, we don't have to let it waste monster corpses anymore. We can all rely on them to grow golden apples in our future life transitions."

As he spoke, the rhythm of the mu tree unfolded, and Mu Hua could faintly feel the weakness of the golden apple sapling, and seemed to feel the desire to long for it from the golden apple sapling.

The strange rhythm formed a connection between Mu Hua and the golden apple tree, and Mu Hua attached the plant essence to the trunk of the golden apple tree.

It seems like absorption, but also like infusion, with the integration of plant essence, the golden apple sapling in front of you begins to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The trunk as thick as a thumb becomes as thick as a few fingers, and the thickness of fingers becomes as thick as a wrist. The old skin gradually condenses on the trunk, and the old skin fades away, and new branches appear again.

The ground shook slightly, which was probably caused by the rapid growth of tree roots underground.

"Don't hurt the saplings next to you." Mu Hua muttered softly, and the leaves rustled, as if in response to Mu Hua's request.

The sapling, which is just over one meter tall, has grown to three meters in height, and a mass of plant essence has been absorbed by this golden apple tree.

Mu Hua twitched the corner of his mouth. This should be the essence contained in a thousand-year-old tree. It has probably catalyzed the growth of this golden apple tree for more than ten years.

The three-meter-long fruit tree has well-proportioned branches and leaves, not the kind of messy growth. However, so far, this fruit tree has not bloomed and has not yet bear fruit. It seems that it is still in the "underage" style.

Taking out a ball of plant essence again, the fruit tree began to grow rapidly again. This time the thickness of the trunk became thicker faster than before. Until the ball of plant essence was almost exhausted, flower buds finally appeared on the fruit tree.

"Be honest, it will all be yours for a while." Mu Hua muttered again, but took back the plant essence in his hand.

He asked Tabitha and the other girls to build several ladders, and collected some hair from the corpse of a flame dog to make brushes. Several people climbed up and down around the fruit tree, carefully pollinating the buds.

A few people were busy for a while, and when Mu Hua once again attached the plant essence to the trunk, the fruit tree seemed to be spiritual. It did not absorb all the plant essence, but stopped absorbing the plant essence after it was filled with ripe fruits.

The skin of the apple, which is slightly larger than a fist, has a metallic luster, and the soft brown-red color is not ugly. Unfortunately, the fruit hanging on the branches does not have that golden color that can make people crazy.

The wisdom fruit failed to mutate into a golden apple, and the fruit branches were covered with expensive wisdom fruits.

Mu Hua and others got busy again, climbing up and down again, and they transformed into fruit farmers.

Mu Hua was somewhat disappointed, but the three girls of Taibesha were laughing.

Although no real golden apples were produced, these fruits were all high-end fruits that could increase one's comprehension in a short period of time. If it weren't for Mu Hua's Bailian Secret Stone, these fruits would probably be enough to excite the three girls for a long time.

After picking the fruits, Mu Hua continued to supply plant essence to the golden apple tree. The clusters of plant essence were large and small, which represented the patches of "alopecia" that Mu Hua had created in the forest of the Kanins Courtyard.

Growing, blooming, and bearing fruits, after picking the wisdom fruit several times, the boss had a pile of fruits, and Taibesha and the other two gradually lost their enthusiasm for this thing.

Plants also have their own lifespans, ranging from a year and a half to a thousand years. However, even for ancient trees that can survive for a long time, it is not uncommon for them to wither and die due to unexpected disasters within a hundred years.

At the same time, trees are not all infinitely strong. When this fruit tree grows to a thickness that requires one person to hug it, it will no longer grow thicker.

The tree trunks became more vigorous, but if there were no plant essence, perhaps this fruit tree would also usher in its stage of decline and withering.

And as it continued to absorb the plant essence, this "old" fruit tree seemed to become more spiritual. When it bloomed, the swaying of its branches and leaves would remind Mu Hua to pollinate the flowers, and when the fruits matured, they would fall off the tree before they were ripe and shrunken.

Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, but no real golden apples were produced. Mu Hua tried to communicate with the fruit tree and got some vague replies, among which the problem of mutation probability seemed to be beyond the control of the golden apple tree itself.

Gradually, several tree tumors appeared on the trunk of the fruit tree, some of which had eyes and noses, and some of which spread out thick branches that reached the arms.

Face, arms, joints and phalanges, as these took shape, the ground shook again, some thick roots drilled out from the ground, the entangled roots gradually formed stiff legs, and a tree shepherd with branches and leaves on his head appeared in front of Mu Hua and others.

"Master, if you want golden apples, it's best to let me absorb some adult upper demons during the flowering period, so that my fruit will have a certain probability of mutation, otherwise it is almost impossible for me to produce golden apples."

With an old voice, the tree shepherd opened his wooden eyes and said to several humans who looked at him in surprise.

A tree man of about 20 meters is not tall, and even if it spreads its legs and feet into roots, it will be a fruit tree more than 10 meters high.

This tree shepherd transformed from the golden apple tree is definitely a production system. If it comes to fighting, it is estimated that it can't be relied on at all.

However, since it has become a tree herder, it has also gotten rid of the original life shackles. As long as it is not beaten to death, even if Mu Hua does not care about it in the future, it can grow independently and bear fruit regularly.

Golden apples are not so easy to appear. Even if it is provided with a superior demon during the flowering period, the probability of mutating into a golden apple depends entirely on luck.

Mu Hua has been mentally prepared for this. At this moment, he is more curious about the tree man himself. Mu Hua curiously pats here and scratches there around the tree herder.

Tree herders are like their names. They can herd plants, but they let the roots of trees move slowly in the soil. Generally, it is good to move trees three to five meters a day.

And this tree herder has not signed a contract with Mu Hua, and cannot sign a contract. It can't even be considered an animal, because it was Mu Hua who catalyzed it into this state, so it naturally calls Mu Hua its master.

Under normal circumstances, it would listen to Mu Hua and even help him fight, but if Mu Hua wanted to chop it down, it would still resist.

After a while, Mu Hua let it take root in the camp, and Mu Hua threw the remaining small amount of plant essence to another golden apple sapling.

Even if there are adult upper demons for them to absorb, they will not necessarily produce golden apples. It is still necessary to get a few more of these golden apple trees of the tree shepherd style.

In the future, the normally planted golden apple trees can also be handed over to them for care. They can communicate with plants and know what is needed for the growth of golden apple trees in different environments. They can "herd" the golden apple trees, and the original undead gardener can basically be laid off.

And the ordinary fruits (wisdom fruits) they produce can also play a very good auxiliary role in practicing magic combat skills. If this thing is sold, it is very popular, and it can be left to the lower-level members of their own forces as a welfare in the future. (End of this chapter)
