Build a Swarm Tech Tree in Konoha

Chapter 514
Tree Shepherd Treasure Tree is the oldest among the six ancient trees. It is different from the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, Ancient Tree of War, Ancient Tree of Prosperity, Ancient Tree of Servant, and Ancient Tree of Divine Power. He does not need any suffixes, because he is old tree.

As the leader of the tree shepherds, I don't know when his name became the synonym for the leader. In order to distinguish it from the other five ancient trees, Baoshu changed his current name himself.

Tree shepherds are derived from trees and are the intelligent life of plants, so their instinct is to reproduce more trees and expand the forest area.

Baoshu can directly command all plants, especially the huge trees to fight according to his will, and the battle scene is too familiar to slugs.

The living slug entangled by the branches and roots was extremely surprised, and she couldn't help expressing emotion: "Isn't this the 'Birth of the Tree Realm'?"

When being strangled by the trees, the living slug skillfully dismantled itself, turned into countless tiny slugs, and leaked into the forest like a stream of water.

The gaps in the large branches allow small slugs to pass through at will, and the small branches will be instantly fused by the slugs, and then swallowed in a few mouthfuls.

When encountering thick branches, they break up into pieces to avoid attacks, and when encountering thin branches, they fuse together and quickly annihilate them. Slugs understand the essence of guerrilla warfare.

Moreover, she also has spaceships in the sky and swarm intelligence support, so she can fight with ease when the entire forest is an enemy.

The civilization of the tree shepherds has been able to persist in the dangerous environment until today. Naturally, they have their means. When ordinary physical attacks fail, all the trees will grow a large number of tentacles, and the tips of the tentacles secrete a sticky substance like sundew. Strong slime.

At the same time, several vines above the canopy bloomed and pollinated rapidly, and red, yellow, orange, blue, and purple pollen flew all over the sky, rendering the entire forest colorful.

The living slug screamed and exclaimed: "Wow, the flower and tree world has come, is it so similar?"

Huolu was even more surprised after the tiny clone was stuck by the sundew grass mucus. This was beyond Mu Dun's skill, and it was very targeted to deal with his own clone.

Especially after being stuck by the mucus, the body surface of the small slug showed signs of corrosion, and only then did the living slug know that the mucus was highly corrosive.

She soon determined that the causticity was not due to acid-base properties, but to digestive enzymes, enzymes that target animal protein.

Fortunately, slugs don't eat dry food. Her body also secretes mucus, but it is slippery. It can not only block tree mucus, but also block pollen that has no specific function.

"This is a new ability I learned in Zhou Wenming. As long as I secrete it fast enough, no toxin can harm me."

The live slug couldn't help but feel a little proud, but then he was dumbfounded, and some treants who looked very strong came out of the forest.

These treants have almost no branches and leaves, their bark is smooth and metallic, and sticky resin is secreted from the tiny gaps, which are thickly stacked on their bodies, which seems to have a high defensive power.

When these treants rushed towards the slug, the living slug realized that their speed was extremely fast, and the heavy attack hit the slug very uncomfortable.

She vomited acid, and it turned out that the tree people's resin was not afraid of corrosion, so they could only split to avoid the attack. Who knew that these tree people waved their hands and spewed out fire.

Is it unreasonable for a tree man to play with fire?

But this trick is really ruthless, the flames are fatal to the forest and the living slugs, but those treants with metal bark dare to bathe in the flames, and even the resin attached to them is burning.

Facing the threat of the fire, the living slug had no choice but to bite the bullet and fit together, relying on its size to resist the damage of the fire.

While forcibly bearing the attack of the flame treant, the slug quickly gathered more fragments, and then launched a counterattack by virtue of its size advantage.

The slugs used acid to extinguish the flames on the flaming treants, and then swallowed them one by one, slowly breaking down the wood with more acid in their stomachs.

At this time, the live slug was really depressed, she muttered to herself: "Ah~~, really, it will still struggle after swallowing such a big thing, it hurts so much!!"

"Ah, if I knew it would be so difficult to deal with, I should have learned some fighting methods with my companions. It's really troublesome if I don't know how to attack."

The war between the slugs and the tree herders lasted two months, and each side learned a lot about the other.

The tree shepherd civilization transferred the ancient trees of war, ancient servants and ancient theocracy that they were in charge of fighting. The living slug saw the giant trees that could shoot wooden spears, the giant trees that could throw explosive fruits, and the giant trees that wielded wooden weapons. Green-skinned orc warriors, and priests singing and using strange witchcraft.

The tree shepherds also saw springtails, scorpions, hydralisks and ultralisks, as well as huge broods.

On the tree shepherd planet, the brood has unexpectedly grown to an unprecedented size. The height alone exceeds 2000 meters, and the extended creep covers an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers.

The living slug is not a researcher, and she is not even a qualified user. She is only happy with the abnormal expansion of the brood, because the production of bugs has increased sharply, which can give her more help.

Thanks to the worm production nearly thirty times higher than that of the normal brood, the slug was not overwhelmed by the attacks of the tree shepherds, because the slug does not know how to command at all.

The insect swarm brought by the Great Immortal relied entirely on instinct, and spontaneously fought against the treants who came to attack. Without command, the insect swarm was completely non-aggressive.

This is Zhou Wenming's limit for the insect swarm. Only when the density of insects reaches the limit, they will slightly expand their territory under the established procedures of the mother nest, but they will never leave the creep for more than five kilometers.

In fact, tree herders have long discovered that slugs and other bugs lack aggression, and it is precisely because of this that they have not shown their true force.

The tree shepherd civilization has stood in the star sea for tens of thousands of years. According to the records of Erdo, the tree shepherds have existed since they first stepped into the star sea.

But today, Edo, which has a history of [-] years, has been destroyed, and the tree shepherds are still slowly planting trees here, naturally because they have enough force to deter those rampant civilizations.

Especially the galaxies of the Tree Shepherds, where all the suitable planets and satellites have been transformed to be full of vitality, are the best prey for the Otsutsuki Clan.

But according to Otsuki Kaguya's memories, Otsutsuki Ichishiki's attitude towards the tree shepherd galaxy was to ignore it, and he went to the ninja world to plant a sacred tree without hesitation.

It is absolutely impossible for Otsutsuki Ichishi to show kindness and let the tree shepherd galaxy go, but he knows that these tree-planting guys are difficult to deal with, or even impossible to beat.

And Younv Tetsumaru believes that there is only one situation that can allow the civilization of the tree shepherds to survive to this day, that is, the tree shepherds are not only powerful, but their fighting methods are also very special.

Even if the more powerful Otsutsuki members come over and win after all their hard work, they can only get nothing.

It's very difficult to fight and you can't get anything if you win. The cosmic locust Otsuki's family will inevitably choose to turn a blind eye.

The tree shepherds suppressed their attack power, and the slugs didn't know how to truly fight, so a war between two interstellar civilizations was actually carried out in the most primitive form.

Unenhanced springtails and club-wielding green-skinned warriors fighting hand to hand, limp hydralisks and war giants throwing bone spurs and wooden spears at each other, this scene is even more ridiculous than the defense of Wakanda.

Because this war was fought at such a low level, and the level of energy release was appallingly low, Zhou Wenming misjudged that there was no war here, and as a result, the time for the departure of support was greatly delayed.

Of course, this kind of misjudgment is also beneficial. Without the advent of the tactical team that is good at war, the war between Zhou Wenming and the Shepherd Civilization would not have escalated, and a real interstellar war was avoided by mistake.

The turning point of the original war came in the fourth month, when the first forest that had been eaten by live slugs regenerated, but to the shock of all the tree herders, the condition of the naturally grown trees was very good, even too good up.

The arborists planted trees for tens of thousands of years, and their footprints and forests spread throughout the galaxy, but they did not expand because they lacked the ability to travel far, nor because they were content with their current territories.

The real reason is that the trees planted by the arborists have problems, and they will easily die if they leave the care of the arborists.

Tree shepherds must constantly patrol, regularly take care of the forest they planted, and replant small trees on the barren land after the death of big trees.

The forest is the foundation of an arborist, but the forest area that an arborist can maintain is limited. This limitation is the reason why the arborist civilization cannot expand.

But this time, after the forest was eaten by slugs, not only did large trees reproduce naturally, but these trees were also very healthy and full of vitality.

No ancient tree can ignore this "miracle". For the tree shepherds, this is a miracle, which they have been looking forward to for tens of thousands of years.

After the forest that can reproduce naturally appears, the territory of the arborists can expand almost unlimitedly, and the expanded forest can breed new arborists, and the entire civilization will enter an unprecedented rapid development.

……

Six ancient trees gathered from the entire galaxy. They stood on the top of the mountain where they could see the brood. It was the first time in ten thousand years that the six ancient trees gathered at the same time.

"This, bug, must, be alive, must be, an ally!"

The body structure of the ancient tree of theocracy restricted him to speak in short pauses, but his tone was resolute, conveying his firm attitude.

The ancient tree of war agreed: "The theocracy is right. That soft bug doesn't understand war, but the little bug it uses...is very powerful. There must be a powerful civilization behind it. It's best not to be an enemy."

The Ancient Servant nodded solemnly: "Those small hard bugs are purer weapons of war than orcs (green skins). They are very terrifying. I don't want to have a real war with the monsters behind the soft bugs."

"After all, it's a bug."

The ancient tree of wisdom looked at Baoshu and asked, "Dear Master Baoshu, the forest eaten by soft bugs can repair itself. Could it be that we did something wrong by exterminating all bugs tens of thousands of years ago?"

Faced with such a question, Baoshu was not angry at all, he laughed and replied: "When those insects were not extinct, do you remember what the forest they destroyed was like?"

"Remember, it's the wreckage of the trunk, the horrible corruption, the contagious disease..." The ancient tree of wisdom recalled, "It's even a disease that can infect the tree shepherds. We lost a total of 440 seven companions, and even The ancient tree of the abyss."

"It's really terrifying for the body to rot and die bit by bit."

Recalling the tragedy of the ancient tree of the abyss before it died like a rotting swamp, the ancient tree of wisdom couldn't help but feel frightened, and its branches trembled uncontrollably.

Baoshu couldn't help but nodded and sighed. He collected himself and continued, "Those ancient bugs didn't show any signs of self-recovery after destroying the forest. Instead, they continued to expand like scars. They are absolute enemies."

"This soft worm is different. After it eats the big tree, the remaining environment is very clean, and the roots of the tree even become more vibrant."

"It is those roots that have changed that develop new saplings and grow into new and more vigorous trees."

Baoshu looked at the other five ancient trees and said seriously: "The miracle is that soft bug, not just any bug. This is the miracle we have been waiting for for tens of thousands of years."

"So, we're going to do another experiment to reconfirm that the miracle is repeatable."

The ancient tree of divine power asked: "Lord Baoshu is right, what should we do?"

The precious tree shook its soft branches, and after thinking for a while, said: "Stop attacking, then retreat, and give them a piece of forest."

"Let's see how that soft bug behaves after eating it."

The ancient tree of the servant said: "There is no problem with retreating, but will that soft worm come out and eat the big tree?"

Baoshu laughed hehehe: "Don't worry, I can feel the desire of that soft worm now, it is staring at our big tree covetously, it is already very greedy."

Then the ultra-slow-paced meeting, which lasted an hour and said less than twenty sentences, came to an end.

……

The live slug is indeed very greedy, the meal she ate four months ago has been completely digested by her now.

The big trees here contain brand-new life energy, which has brought great changes to the living slug, making her break through her physical limits.

The most obvious sign is that the weight of the live slug has increased by a full two hundred kilograms.

She hasn't gained even a single gram in 600 years, and even if she loses part of her body in an accident, she can only return to her maximum weight afterwards, without gaining even a single gram.

And after the breakthrough weight gain this time, the living slug's body seemed to be activated, and every cell was urging her: hurry up, eat trees quickly!
It was the attack of those green-skinned humanoid monsters, tree monsters, and giant trees that hurt her so much that she suppressed her desire and stayed in the nest obediently.

Only when it is really unbearable, the live slugs will take a piece of the big tree collected by the worker bees to relieve their hunger a little.

But such a little bit of eating can't relieve the thirsty desire at all, not only the amount is not enough to fit between the teeth, but also the trunks that are divided after collection are dry.

Such a trunk lacks the fresh vitality of a living tree, and the taste is much worse.

As a result, satisfying the gluttony aroused even greater desires, making it impossible for a living slug to lie down peacefully.

The main body of the live slug and the countless eyes of the splits are all staring at the forest, hoping to end the war as soon as possible, and then have a good meal.

Therefore, when the tree shepherd retreated, the live slug hesitated for only half an hour, and couldn't help it anymore.

She rushed into the forest, hugged the big tree, and finally was able to eat.
