Chapter 141 Crops and Toulon Mission (Three in One)

The seeds stolen from the Hornhoof tribe were given to two witch doctors for research.

They had no idea how this crop was grown or what it could grow, so they just followed the pattern of planting trees, dug a hole, poured some water and buried a few of them.

"Why does this thing look more like grass to me than a tree?" a witch doctor said as he looked at the product in front of him.

"Perhaps, we should start from a more fundamental place." Another witch doctor answered helplessly, picking his head.

"Okay, I'll apply for a microscopy room. It should be approved."

"Well, there have been a lot of vacancies in the microscopy room recently, and the dictator attaches great importance to this project, so there should be no problem."

After the two witch doctors discussed it, they immediately returned to their newly built temporary office nearby and began to write application forms and periodic summary reports.

After having paper, the Rune Council put forward the requirement of "frequent summary and frequent communication" for each research, allowing researchers such as witch doctors and apprentices to diligently record their failures and thinking processes.

This report and application, as well as the accompanying samples, were quickly sent to the scientific research resource allocation section co-managed by the academic conference and the executive government. After the apprentice on duty got it, he was ready to send them to Nesta as soon as possible according to the requirements of the memorandum.

.

When the apprentice took the materials and samples to find the area where Nesta was, he was still simulating a wolf-killing mission with the witch doctors of the assault team in the newly dug "imitation wolf cave".

Kilometers, this is the height of the sudden rise here. When the team arrived at it, there was no grass at all;

Viewed from here, the dozen or so smoking lonely peaks standing on top of it appear to be more and more crowded, and the inexplicable sounds have become a little clearer, as if they are the roars of some kind of creature.

Unfortunately, the effect of the totem seems to be hindered by the thick mountain walls, and the monitoring range is much weaker than on the flat ground, so in the end they still have to actually go up to conduct effective detection.

"It's a pity that we haven't figured out their number. The only thing we know is that there seems to be their city in the entire Black Forest. If the scale is the same as the one we visited or even slightly smaller, it will become a terrifying war beast.

"

"In terms of culture, although they hide it very well, some subtleties can still reflect an 'obtrusiveness'. Especially the 'Gladiator Dance', which is obviously a dance with no foundation, but it can still be regarded as

It is used to present it to the envoys for observation."

In this way, you don’t have to worry about the seeds stolen by Funa being used up, and you can have free rein.

When the microscope room was coordinated the next day, they shifted their main energy there and began to conduct more detailed research on this crop.

"Forehead"

The apprentice's voice passed through the various acupuncture points and finally reached Nesta's ears. Although he didn't know what it was, he still stopped what he was doing and said to the other dozen witch doctors,

The mission stayed in the tribe for about a month, and all the witch doctors established a fairly good friendship with Tulum;

Although this guy showed a little contempt when he first came here, he was still a pure person without much scheming, and he quickly became friends with the witch doctors after they deliberately made friends with him.

In order to reduce the risk, the squadron decided to send a small team up first to get a feel for the situation. The small team that went up did not volunteer or call names, but chose by drawing lots.

When he actually stood at the top, he saw a deep hole with a diameter of more than ten meters, and inside it was a dark red flame-like fluid boiling tens of meters below.

First, completely transform the plant so that it has the ability to grow similar to a tree.

Looking at the shape of the plant in the picture, he could tell that this thing could never be a tree-shaped plant. Combined with the structure he learned from observing the fragments before, he roughly judged the reason for this result.

'Good guy, I've become accustomed to it, and I've actually grown this thing like a tree.'

Of course, the tribe's grain was of improper origin after all. In order to avoid additional misunderstandings, these old farmers were not led to the experimental fields some distance away from the tribe. They just taught the trolls to cultivate an acre of small fields and brought them to the periphery.

Farming tools grown in Toulon.

And each time it matures, its wheat stalks will almost die and must be resowed to continue harvesting.

"What's going on?"

They struggled with each other, roared wildly, and then sank to the bottom again and disappeared.

Now the team leader finally understood that that thing should be the source of the sound.

A few days after the ceremony, the witch doctors accompanied Tutun to visit the construction of the headquarters and the military drills, which made the face of the young chief's son gradually turn serious from the initial contempt.

Some of the heights of the peaks are clearly higher than the original Holy Mountain that has been renamed ‘Central Mountain’;

There was no snow on it, instead, there were faint black or white smoke pillars, which flew upward for tens of meters and then disappeared.

At this moment, the envoy from Toulon arrived.

It has a slender stem, long leaves, and dense fruits gathered into a hydrangea shape at the top;

The stem is hollow and soft, the leaves are long and bladed, and the fruit is granular with a hard shell.

After hearing the news, Nesta had some doubts about their identity, and thought "could they be shamans", and naturally developed the desire to "detain and take out the secrets"

It must be said that this was an extremely tempting idea, but he gave it up after communicating with other witch doctors.

So, he transferred it to the back of his thumbnail, curled it inward with his thumb and middle finger, and crushed its outer shell with his fingernails to obtain a small black hard particle.

Nesta had never farmed in his previous life, nor had he specifically understood the differences between various plants, but he at least knew the basic differences between 'graminous plants' and 'woody plants';

‘Hoo!! Roar!!!’

In the process, the witch doctors gradually discovered the fundamental reason why they could not turn into trees - the lack of a structure they named the 'accretion layer'.

The team leader randomly picked one of them, and led his team members to climb as quietly as possible, gradually approaching the top of the mountain that was hundreds of meters higher than the platform, and approaching the top of the trapezoid.

As a whole, they look like conjoined mushrooms randomly 'planted' by someone, scattered messily and isolated on a platform like an inverted pottery bowl, standing together in the middle of a deserted land;

He originally wanted to give some more advice, but after thinking about it, he found that he really didn't know much in this area.

Therefore, he stopped being demanding and instead gave instructions,

The ‘thickening layer’ grows stems inward and barks outward, which is an important reason why trees can become thicker and taller;

And their troll students began to go to the tribe's real experimental field to conduct field operations.

In the cabin, which was specially modified for the mission, Tulum Earthshaker was having a conversation with an old man.

This old man was one of the five old farmers. At this time, he was seated by the chief's third son, and he asked him something with respect on his face.

These fifty acres will become an "all-manpower" experimental field. Except for breeding, no magic will be involved in the planting process. The witch doctors want to use this method to see what the actual effect will be.

"Okay, you can tell them when you go back and try planting in shallow soil, loosening the soil, and fertilizing with plant ash."

Nesta led more than 20 witch doctors at the headquarters and many 'executives' from the ruling government to the dock area to greet him.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, you can go ahead."

The leader of the mission is a young horn-hoofed man, the third son of the great chief of Toulon, named ‘Tutun Earthshaker’;

Accompanying him were forty guards who were said to be from Toulon's most elite Earthshaker Legion, as well as five ordinary-looking 'old farmers'.

During this period, some apprentices reported that one of the old farmers always found excuses to approach the restricted area, as if he was probing for something. However, he was exempted from expulsion because he did not get too close.

Occasionally, faint sounds floated out from the smoke column. If the Far Walkers were not equipped with listener totems, they would not be able to hear them even at the foot of the mountain.

The tunnels in the cave were basically light-proof. With the help of his ears and his upgraded eyes with a little bit of dark vision, Nesta moved forward without any hindrance. He soon reached the ground and saw the person who had shouted before.

apprentice.

"And he has no respect for the ancestor spirits and elemental spirits. He is an out-and-out barbarian."

"You guys keep trying. The steel-wood wall encirclement needs to be faster. Try to find a balance between solidity and speed. I'll go up and take care of something first."

The witch doctors estimate that the original seeds ‘provided’ by the horn hoof species, after migrating here and planting them, should be able to achieve two crops in three years and a yield of 200 kilograms per mu in a single harvest;

Compared with this data, the transformation of seeds can be said to be quite successful.

"Fortunately, their upper echelons don't seem to be warlike, otherwise we might be in danger."

The headquarters held a grand welcome ceremony and dinner for them, and performed a gladiatorial dance that had been 'developed' at the request of Nesta at the dinner.

The team leader didn't know what it was. He stretched his neck to try to see it more clearly, but at this moment, two bright red creatures that were almost ten meters long emerged from the fluid;

While the temporary troll farmers were working hard, a squadron of Far Walkers exploring the path in the northeast had already arrived at the destination of their journey.

Generally speaking, its planting difficulty is not the same as that of fruit trees.

Of course, just like the trolls have never used their totems, these Toulon Earthshakers may also have some hidden cards that they have not used;

Therefore, their strength cannot be simply judged like this.

Especially during the combat training part, the uniform full-body armor immediately made him look a little eclipsed, and he made a request to purchase it.

After the apprentice said goodbye and left, Nesta didn't think about the seeds anymore. He immediately turned around and returned to the cave and continued to participate in the drill.

After knowing this, they had two choices before them.

The tribe currently has fifteen ice crystal microscopy rooms, each of which is equipped with five top-of-the-line optical microscopes. In this aspect alone, the resources are quite sufficient, at least according to today's standards.

Witch doctors have their own set of spells to accelerate the growth of plants, which can easily violate the laws of nature and obtain harvests easily;

However, these techniques were all developed and modified for large trees. This time, I was a bit blinded by these seeds.

"Trolls are powerful, aggressive yet submissive at the same time. Their leadership group can issue almost any order without any problems. This is a racial character that can be transformed into war potential."

This is a strange group of mountains that only appeared on the horizon a month after they entered the desolate land. Although they are not continuous, they share a base, and each mountain presents a trapezoid shape that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top;

Cui Wenlites frowned, always feeling that there was something strange about this place. Thinking of the news revealed by the witch doctors in advance before setting off on this trip, she became more and more cautious about future explorations.

But after all, they now lack the ability to produce their own food, and the headquarters is willing to provide support in this regard. Therefore, in order to resume food production as soon as possible, they can only admit it with pinched noses.

"You are right, that is a young yet powerful, rational yet barbaric race." The old shaman said, stroking his long beard.
