Create a swarm technology tree in Konoha

A few days later, Zhan Gushu's mood returned to the level where he could speak. Zhan Zhan, who gradually calmed down, felt regretful because he couldn't force the slug to stay.

Zhou Wenming can kill the Otsutsuki clan, and he is the kind of member who can send messages to the universe. His strength cannot be underestimated.

If a war does break out, the ultimate losses will be absolutely staggering, and may even be fatal.

Because Zhou civilization is obviously not a wandering and plundering civilization of the Otsutsuki clan, but a land-based expansion civilization similar to Erdo, and its stamina is very sufficient.

Moreover, the development speed of Zhou Civilization is too frightening. According to Slug, the founder of the civilization is less than fifty years old.

To the ancient trees, fifty years is nothing. It is just a short while after being sleepy, and the result is that it develops from zero to enough to kill Otsutsuki.

Such a civilization cannot be an enemy. Maybe in the blink of an eye, it will become a giant in the universe.

Even if the tree herders forcefully left the slugs today, it is very likely that Zhou Wenming will become an irresistible presence before the seventh ancient tree is born, and then come knocking on the door.

However, you can't force them to stay, you can seduce them. Slugs like the trees you plant at home, so that's good. She can just eat whatever she wants. When she gets tired of eating, we'll plant new trees.

Baoshu and Zhan checked their respective storages and found that the tree species that had been eliminated in the past still existed. These thousands of trees each had their own characteristics, but they were left out because of insufficient energy production. Maybe the slugs would be very good. Love their taste.

Baoshu was satisfied with the inventory of seeds and saplings, selected the trees with special fragrance, and prepared to replant them to attract slugs to stay in the Tree Shepherd Galaxy.

Tree shepherds have no sense of smell, or the olfactory system is completely different from that of animals, so War and Treasure Tree found many Oaks for selection.

So they inadvertently made a big mistake. Oaks were raised by tree herders from the beginning because they could help the forest clean up waste. Their original ecological niche was similar to scavenging.

The sense of smell of animals serves their own survival. The smell of natural enemies makes them afraid, the smell of competitors disgusts them, the smell of the opposite sex excites them, and the smell of food makes them feel delicious and happy.

Therefore, the smells that scavengers like are usually not in line with the taste of most animals, and may even be completely different and trigger the vomiting reaction in other animals.

This is because the digestive system of ordinary animals cannot accept rotten food. In order to avoid accidentally eating it, they will engage in stress vomiting when they smell it to avoid dying of food poisoning.

Therefore, a few months later, when Baoshu enthusiastically invited Slug to taste the new big trees in the new forest farm, the smell of some of the big trees shocked Slug.

There are also some big trees with a strong smell that even make the slug's columnar eyes twist into knots. The body seems to have been hit hard, and the mucus on the body surface flows down like a flood.

But it wasn't all like this. The smell of some trees made the slug very attracted to them, but it also made her unable to help but eat them.

"It's so scary. Why is this?" The slug closed her eyes and swallowed the whole tree in one bite. She closed her mouth and started chewing. She chewed very carefully, and did not dare to open her mouth until she swallowed.

"Ha-ha--" After eating, the slug breathed out but almost vomited out the smoke. He couldn't help complaining: "It's obviously so smelly, but it tastes so delicious in your mouth. It's really embarrassing. ”

Baoshu shook his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, live snake, I didn't know that the sense of smell of Oaks is completely different from yours, and I made you suffer."

Slug didn't care, she said optimistically: "Although it stinks, I found a special kind of food. It's really a good experience."

"By the way, Mr. Baoshu was in a strange mood some time ago. Did something happen?"

Baoshu was stunned for a moment, but said without any concealment: "Some good things and bad things happened together, so my mood is a bit complicated."

The slug asked curiously: "What good things are there? Are bad things dangerous?"

Baoshu laughed cheerfully: "It's a good thing. The seventh ancient tree is being conceived. It will be born in sixty years at the earliest. Ten thousand years have passed since the birth of Divine Power."

"Wow, really? That's great, congratulations!"

"Hahaha, thank you very much." Baoshu said his words of thanks, seemingly in response to Slug's congratulations, but in fact, he really thanked Slug for his contribution.

Because he has completely figured out that it is because of the arrival of the slugs that the pure source energy is mixed with new energy full of vitality. Although these new energies are small, they serve as the core to attract the accumulation of source energy.

In fact, this is just like rainfall. Dense clouds are likely to be unable to turn into heavy rain because of the lack of condensation nuclei.

The tree shepherd civilization has happened to be stuck at this node for nearly ten thousand years. The concentration of remaining source energy is neither high nor low. The source energy is very rich, but it is unable to condense to form a new core of wisdom.

If something unexpected happens one day, resulting in the emergence of a core that can be condensed, the seventh ancient tree will be born.

Baoshu knows this situation, but he doesn't really value luck because luck is not important.

If the slugs had not arrived, even if the seventh ancient tree was born by luck, there would be no hope for the eighth, and all the source energy would be occupied by the seven ancient trees.

If you expand outward at this time, the ancient tree responsible for the expansion will still need a steady stream of source energy when leaving, which requires another ancient tree to help him transport it.

Without the long-term care of the two ancient trees, the forest will shrink, resulting in insufficient source energy to maintain.

This is the dilemma of the Tree Shepherd civilization.

The emergence of the slug solves this problem. The forest she has eaten will regenerate itself. The reborn forest has strong vitality and does not require too much care.

In other words, most of the ancient trees will be liberated, and expansion across galaxies will become possible.

However, all this was brought about by slugs. As an immortal civilization that has existed for 100,000 years, the ancient trees must consider, how long can this situation last?

How long can new forest activity last? The slug that brings activity is a separate individual. Although she is still a child less than 10,000 years old, she is not an ancient tree. How long can she live?

Now that expansion has been achieved with the help of the changes brought about by slugs, what will happen after losing the slugs?

Will the worst happen?

For example, the tree herders were separated by a long distance, and then continued to shrink as the forest activity disappeared, and eventually all the tree herders who expanded were lost.

The Ancient Tree of Wisdom is always more prone to pessimism, and the questions he raises are irrefutable to all Ancient Trees.

If we start to expand now, everything will be based on the fulcrum of the slug. On a scale of ten thousand years, it will be too unsafe for civilization.

"Wait a little longer, don't be anxious." The Ancient Wisdom Tree tried hard to suppress his excitement and put forward a stable plan. "Our reaction speed and expansion speed are very slow, and every decision must be more cautious."

"The main body of civilization that slugs belong to is human beings. Over the years, many human civilizations have experienced ups and downs. Didn't the Edo, the most enduring civilization, decline in just over three thousand years?"

"We are different from humans. We can't rush. Take your time."

Baoshu's mood was the calmest. He nodded and said: "Very good, then wait until the seventh ancient tree is born."

The follower Gushu was shocked, looked at the leader in disbelief, and blurted out: "Fifty years, so anxious?"

The prosperous ancient tree smiled: "Hehehe, Master Baoshu is also impatient, but I agree. I am also a little impatient. The little trees make me feel so good."

The ancient tree of war nodded heavily and said, "I agree, just wait until the seventh ancient tree is born."

The ancient divine tree nodded silently and showed a rare smile.

The ancient tree of war suddenly asked: "Lord Baoshu, has the malicious intention you mentioned before been confirmed?"

Baoshu nodded and said, "Oh, it's confirmed."

…

Five days ago, when the slug tasted the smelly tree for the first time.

The slug twisted its eyes and swallowed a big smelly tree again. After eating, it asked: "By the way, what is the bad thing you said?"

After a while, Baoshu realized what he was doing. He raised his head and looked at the sky. There were no stars in the clear sky, but it was not a problem for Baoshu's eyes.

"The bad thing is that I feel a lot of malicious intent. They are approaching us, but they don't seem to be targeting me. It's too far away and it feels too vague."

"Malicious?" Jupiter, who was wearing a full breathing mask, couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Dear Baoshu, how far do you sense malice?"

Baoshu looked at the little man and thought for a long time before saying: "I don't know how far it is, but I feel like I will arrive soon."

"How many years will this soon be?"

"Within fifty years..." Baoshu stared at the sky with wide eyes and changed his words, "No, about thirty years, it is really fast."

"Last time it was Erdo who gave me this feeling, and the next time it was the Otsutsuki clan."

"Speaking of which, this feeling really feels like Otsutsuki, but the malicious feeling that time came very suddenly and was extremely strong, not as vague as this time."

"Perhaps it's a matter of distance." Jupiter analyzed seriously, "The last time the Otsutsuki clan searched and found the existence of tree shepherds nearby, they had evil thoughts, so they are clear and strong."

"This time, the enemy targeted the Tree Shepherd Galaxy from a very far away place. Although the malicious intentions are clear, the distance is too far and the perception is very blurry."

"Oh, that makes sense."

Baoshu opened his eyes again and observed and felt carefully. After a long time, after the slugs had eaten twenty big trees, he finally lowered his head and said with emotion: "Yes, even though it is far away, the target is indeed It’s really strange to point at us, who could it be?”

This time, Jupiter said nothing more, because he had no way to make any guesses.

The Zhou civilization was born less than forty years ago. There are only two enemies in this universe, the other branches of the Erdos and the Otsutsuki clan. As long as there are enemies, just guess at them.

The Tree Shepherd civilization has been standing in the universe for more than 100,000 years. Even though the Tree Shepherd Treasure Tree only remembers a few enemies, in fact they have experienced countless conflicts. The reputation of the Tree Shepherd has already spread in the universe. .

Suddenly an enemy of the tree shepherd appeared. Baoshu had no idea who it was. The scope of suspicion was too great. God knows which ancient enemy was revived and later took revenge.

Even outside the scope of suspicion, there will be enemies of the tree shepherds. God knows which corner has a new civilization rising. They have just stepped into the starry sky and looked around, confused and not knowing where to rob.

As a result, they heard the name of the tree shepherd. After analysis, they believed that the tree shepherd met their goals, and then they came to kill them.

Although it is very embarrassing, Zhou Wenming is actually like this. Slug got the task of exploring the tree shepherd civilization, didn't he think he could eat something delicious?

The slug simply wants to eat. This purely physiological need is not malicious at all. If it wants to plunder resources, it is full of malicious intent.

After pondering for a long time, Baoshu gave up and continued to perceive. He sighed: "Oh, I really can't think of who it could be."

"Forget it, although this is the first time such a remote malicious situation has occurred, it is not the first time that our tree shepherds have been maliciously targeted. It's not a big deal. Let's wait and see."

Slug nodded, not caring.

This is how she treats her enemies in the ninja world, she just waits when she encounters a difficult enemy.

Most of the time, by waiting, her enemies were gone.

But Jupiter has kept it in mind. The malice he can feel is at least a threat to a certain extent, and it can be sensed by Tree Shepherd Baoshu from such a distance. This group of enemies is definitely extraordinary.

…

The ancient tree of war asked: "Is it confirmed so soon?"

Baoshu nodded and said: "I confirmed it after I got the reminder from that villain, but I didn't say at the time that it was the Otsutsuki clan."

Wisdom couldn't help but ask: "With such a long distance, how did Master Baoshu confirm that the enemy was Otsutsuki?"

"Otsutsuki's malice is very special, with a hard feeling." Baoshu looked at the ancient war tree and said, "It's a bit similar to our war tree man. It's very special and easy to identify."

The Ancient War Tree frowned, recalling the distant past and the battle with all his strength: "Otsutsuki, it is still difficult to deal with. If there are a large number, it will be difficult to control the losses."

"The gap between the war tree people and us is still too big. Otsutsuki can completely crush my tree people, but if we do it, we can only destroy the planet in large areas."

Baoshu also frowned: "Yes, they are too slippery. They crawl around in the space. They can only hit the space together, and the destructive power is completely uncontrollable."

"But if this happens, the birth of the seventh ancient tree will be interrupted, and we will become weak. The price is too high."

The ancient trees that had not experienced the Battle of Otsutsuki looked at each other in confusion. The prosperous ancient trees couldn't help but ask: "What should we do?"

After being silent for a long time, Baoshu said: "Wait a moment, wait for those Otsutsuki to get closer, and confirm their target and number."

"When I get detailed information about Zhou Wenming through Slug, they may be the most suitable to deal with the Otsutsuki clan, and then I can make a decision."

Zhan Zhan said: "Yes, but Master Baoshu must hurry up. As you estimate, these big tube trees will only take twenty years to arrive. It's too nervous."

Several other ancient trees also nodded repeatedly, twenty years is too fast.

Fortunately, Master Baoshu is responsible for this task, and everyone believes that he can do it well in time.

A brief meeting, lasting only two days, finalized the plan for the tree shepherd civilization for the next twenty years: establish a good relationship with the slugs and do nothing else.
