Rise of the Plants

Originally, because Chi Nan wanted to return to the territory, Hemila and the others wanted to go back with a hundred soldiers, but Chi Nan directly refused. "Since we have brought them all, let's stay here for protection. This is the gateway to our territory. As long as there are no problems here, there will basically be no danger inside our territory."

"As long as I'm a mage, I'm more useful than a hundred soldiers."

In the end, everyone had no choice but to follow Chi Nan back. Apart from Chi Nan, the only people walking back were the bald father and Hermila. Seeing the sky slowly getting darker, everyone could only speed up their pace.

Such speed is nothing to Chi Nan and the bald father, but Hermila is a little tired.

"Hermila, come and ride a horse. Although the road is a little bumpy, it is still smooth at least."

Chi Nan let his horse out, but Hermila shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, no, how can a lord come down by himself while his subordinates ride horses? This is against the rules." Hermila gasped as she spoke.

Chi Nan rolled his eyelids: "What are the rules? In my territory, I'm talking about the rules. Come on, come up quickly. If you do this, we won't be able to go back until dark." Chi Nan pulled Hermila hard. He carried it directly to the horse.

Hermila's face turned red and she didn't dare to look at Chi Nan. The bald dad on one side was standing there like a stone, as if he didn't exist, looking into the distance with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Chi Nan rolled his eyelids: "What are you doing here? Hurry up and hurry up, it's getting late."

"Yeah, it's getting late, it's almost evening." The bald dad said with a smile.

Hearing this, Hermila's face became even more rosy. She looked at Chi Nan who was leading the way and didn't know what she was thinking of.

The three people walked in this weird atmosphere, and finally got back to the vicinity of Hongsha Town before the sun set. But before entering Hongsha Town, Chi Nan suddenly felt something reflecting light in front of him.

"Wait, what is this?" Chi Nan quickly walked towards the reflective place.

I was surprised to find that this thing was actually a tree, a very weird small tree, all red and a little dark, as if a lot of blood had dried on it. What really surprised Chi Nan was that this tree was actually one of the few trees that could grow directly on the red soil. After walking back and forth so many times, this was the first time he saw this thing.

"City Lord, this is an ironbark tree, it's of no use."

Hearing Hermila's words, Chi Nan was stunned: "Why is it useless? It can grow on red soil. How can it be said to be useless? By the way, why have I never seen anyone send it to me?"

Chi Nan stepped forward and touched it gently. He was surprised to find that the bark was actually made of iron. No, it cannot be said to be iron, but a very special type of iron, or even an alloy.

"Lord, there are some ironbark trees like this on the Red Rock Mountain. Although they are not too many, they are not uncommon. Ironbark trees can grow on red soil, but they can only grow on certain red soil. To grow, the red soil is too dark, and the ironbark tree cannot grow. This kind of tree is useless except for its hardness."

Chi Nan shook his head: "Is it just a little harder? I'm afraid you haven't looked carefully. This bark... No, it should be said that there is a layer of skin on the surface of the bark. It is actually an iron product."

"Impossible, the tree can actually grow iron skin. Let me take a look, it seems to be true, but this is enough to do anything." The bald father stepped forward and touched it, with a look of disdain on his face.

Chi Nan rolled his eyelids: "Two ignorant guys, have you forgotten what I do? Let me tell you, this iron bark tree can absorb the iron ore elements in the ground, and then synthesize them by itself, turning it into a very A special alloy. Don’t you know what an alloy is? It’s a metal made by fusing different substances together.”

"Forget it, I won't tell you this anymore. All in all, this is a metal that can solve the iron shortage in our territory. Damn it, if I had discovered the ironbark tree earlier, I wouldn't have to deal with the damn Huangsha Ridge."

Chi Nan covered his head, a flash of regret flashed in his eyes. But he was soon abandoned by Chi Nan. If it goes as he imagined, his Hongsha Ridge will also become a large territory that produces iron products.

In fact, Chinan is definitely better than the opposite Huangshaling. Huangshaling only has an iron ore vein. The total amount of iron contained in the earth cannot be compared with the red sand ridge sitting on a red stone mountain.

The only problem now is to strengthen the iron bark tree to the extent you need, at least to the extent that it can absorb iron ore in a large area. "I didn't expect that today's harvest would be so great. Hermila, you are indeed my lucky star." Chi Nan looked excited and couldn't help but turned around and hugged Hemila and kissed her.

Hermila's face suddenly turned redder than the sunset. She stood there at a loss, her eyes were blank, and her mind was blank. Lord, what is he actually doing?

The bald father wiped his sweat. Seeing the strange state of the two people, he had no choice but to speak: "Lord, please see if we go back first. When you have time tomorrow, you can study it slowly."

The bald father still didn't realize the true function of this thing, but seeing that the lord valued it so much, it should be of great use. Can this small tree really solve the problem of iron deficiency in the territory?

Chi Nan finally came to his senses: "Yeah, you're right, we will dig out this ironbark tree tomorrow, no, now, and we will take it back." Chi Nan couldn't wait to release his magic power.

In Chi Nan's opinion, it is still easy to deal with plants. The magic power spread, and the iron bark tree quickly pulled the roots out of the ground. Chi Nan only had to reach out and take it in his hand. "Oh, it's quite heavy." After all, this is a sapling that has absorbed iron ore. It may not look big, but how can iron products be light?

"Sir, let me do it. I'll carry it." The bald father quickly took two steps forward, picked up the sapling, and walked towards the town.

Chi Nan smiled and did not fight for it. He was slowly adapting to the identity of a lord.

"Hermila, don't be stunned, let's go." Chi Nan stretched out his hand and pulled Hemila away who was still in a daze. Hermila looked at the two people holding hands together, a smile appeared in her eyes, her palms were slightly pressed, and the two people came closer. Looking at Chi Nan's side face, Hermila sighed slightly for some reason.
