The natural empire of ocean dragons

Chapter 167 The Ancient Tree of Life Trial
Attilan was determined to seal the recipe that he had carefully thought about for three days. He even did not plan to eat more mooncakes to avoid arousing homesickness.

A traveler cannot return to his former hometown, so the lake where he was born and the forest where he grew up will be his second hometown!

And these lovely druids, Leopard Girl, are his most beloved family members!

Attilan looked at the iron ball on the ground and sighed and said:
"It's a pity that there is no white rice, otherwise I could just use these two semi-circular iron pots to make golden egg fried rice for everyone."

Leopard Girl quickly wiped away the tears on her face and asked excitedly:
"Golden egg fried rice, is it made of gold? How delicious is it?"

Compared with golden egg fried rice, the corn girl's keenness about food crops made her care more about the white rice mentioned by Attilan.

"What kind of food is white rice? Is it also cultivated from dogtail grass?"

Because she once heard Attilan call millet millet, so she thought that white rice should have a close relationship with millet.

"I can't confirm whether it was cultivated from Setaria, but Setaria grows in different terrains and will naturally develop corresponding characteristics as local people domesticate it."

"I only know that white rice is domesticated from a wild grass that grows in water. If we start selecting foxtail grass in wetlands for targeted breeding, we might be able to cultivate rice."

"Of course, instead of wasting time and effort on domesticating weeds from generation to generation, I think we can buy them from races that grow food similar to white rice. Wouldn't it be better to just grow ready-made white rice?"

"Finding a race to grow white rice may take less time than cultivating rice ourselves."

Gu Nu frowned slightly, but said nothing more.

"Prepare for me a paddy field suitable for cultivating rice near Qinglin Town. As soon as the paddy field is ready, I will start cultivating the white rice you mentioned. Compared to buying white rice cultivated by others, I prefer the varieties cultivated by myself. ."

"Perhaps it will take me more than ten years, or even decades, to develop rice with the same yield as ready-made white rice. But if the subsequent increase in rice yield is increased, I believe it will be faster than their natural domestication of white rice."

Attilan blinked. He had unknowingly fallen into the misconception that buying was better than making.

"What Gu Nu said makes sense, but do you have enough energy to domesticate foxtail grass into millet and white rice at the same time? I think if you can get ready-made white rice, it should be of reference value for your rice experiment."

"Having more samples means more possibilities. Crossing different samples to cultivate the next generation will have better traits, and there is a high probability that more valuable rice seeds can be obtained."

Laluen, who had been holding Hana in her arms and coaxing the child, suddenly spoke.

"Actually, I passed through the Water Elf Kingdom with Xue Ran ten years ago and visited an Elf Druid. He said that he discovered that the lizard people in the wetland were feeding on a kind of waterweed more than 100 years ago."

"She was also curious about why the lizard people ate this kind of waterweed, so she tried it herself and found that it was indeed edible. Later, she saw the lizard people scattering the seeds of the waterweed in shallow water."

"Curiosity drove her to collect aquatic plant seeds and try to cultivate them. After hundreds of years, she actually cultivated a food that looked like small pearls after being shelled."

"The elf calls her masterpiece Pearl Fragrance. Xueran and I have both eaten it. It is indeed a very strange-tasting food, but the elf only regards Pearl Fragrance as a toy."

"The conditions required to grow pearl incense are very harsh, otherwise I would even want to take some home to plant. It is not a food crop that you plan to cultivate on a large scale."

Attilan nodded in agreement. The pearl incense mentioned by Laluen was more like magical plant material carefully cultivated with magic than food.

Without the elf's laboratory, this pearl incense cannot grow normally.

This is the drawback mentioned by the Corn Girl, growing this kind of limited food, if the elves have the idea, it can easily cover Attilan's neck.

After all, Atlantis will soon be bordering the Water Elf Kingdom. Whether they can live in peace by then depends on the attitude of the Water Elf Kingdom.

Elves have a kind of arrogance towards other races in their bones. They will look down upon civilized and intelligent races like dwarves and humans, let alone a kingdom composed of monster races ruled by dragons.

Everyone knows that the appetite of creatures like dragons will only continue to expand as they grow older and stronger. No dragon who has established a kingdom has ever been able to restrain the desire to expand.

Even a kind-hearted metal dragon does the same!
Therefore, the Water Elf Kingdom will naturally be highly vigilant towards the kingdom established by the Ocean Yalong. It would be good if they do not take the initiative to set traps and eliminate the big trouble of Attilan in advance.

The reason is that the possibility of this happening is actually very low, because all the forces on this continent are facing a problem, that is, there are too many people but too little land, and there is no value in blindly pursuing a larger area of ​​land.

Because you cannot convert the occupied land into resources.

Just like the reason why ancient China fought for the land of the Central Plains, saying that whoever wins the Central Plains will win the world, it is because it has the largest population and the most mature farmland, which can stably produce a large amount of food.

What the bear man said actually made sense. If the manpower and material resources wasted on attacking the jackals were used to develop the wetland, Attilan estimated that within a year, the wetland could be initially transformed into an environment suitable for growing wheat and black beans.

He only needs to endure for two years, or at most three years, before he can use the food grown in the wetlands to recruit the population of the rainforest and form a large and powerful dragon army.

With the Dragon Legion, the Water Elf Kingdom will be an honest neighbor to Atlantis.

The White Wolf King cannot be killed for the time being, but Attilan doesn't want him to have too much fun, so he still wants to ask Laluen to help make some star bombs to add a little brilliance to the White Wolf King's peaceful life.

Although he tried to flatter the horse with his mother moon ball and ended up slapping it on the horse's leg, Attilan still shamelessly made his request to Lalune. "Madam, due to Master's restrictions, I can only stop my revenge against the White Wolf King, but I don't want to just swallow my anger, so I want the enhanced energy bomb of the last starlight purification potion."

"If Madam doesn't have time to make it by herself, could you please teach me how to make it? Making it by yourself will also help me breathe more freely."

Lalune smiled slightly.

"I may not be able to give you this opportunity. Hana is currently studying at the Druid School. I have a lot of free time every day. The star bomb you need sounds quite interesting."

"I will try to help you develop an energy bomb that only targets demons, but I cannot guarantee the specific time."

"No problem, as long as it can be made, I don't mind even if it's a semi-finished product. My followers can restrain the demon sorcerers from casting spells and reduce the risk of their actions."

"I will produce results as soon as possible."

Attilan smiled excitedly and said:

"Thank you so much. I really don't know how to repay Madam."

Laluen shook her head and said:

"No need, the Mother Moon Ball is already great. It reminds me of the days when my mother took me to observe the stars on the top of the Mage Tower when I was a child. Although it was very cold at the top of the tower, with my mother there, I felt so stable and comfortable."

Unexpectedly, Laluen actually felt the beauty of her mother's moon ball. Sure enough, mature adults are different from little brats like Leopard Girl.

Wait a minute, he seems to be under the influence of his mother's moon ball. Did he just scold himself too?
But it doesn't matter, anyway, he is just a little dragon over one year old, a little kid indeed.

Taishan waved his arms excitedly and said:

"Stop talking about this, the moon has risen to the center of the sky, and the performance of the Feather Clothes Song can begin. If you let us come over, don't you mean we can enjoy the water dance?"

Looking at Tarzan Monkey's anxious look, he is worthy of being a Druid hanging out with a Gibbon.

"Okay, okay, let's start now."

The druids inflicted water walking on Opea and the Dancer, while Attilan stirred the moonlight water of Moon Shadow Lake to form water mist, and followed Opea and the others into the stage.

The silvery white mist is like a thin veil covering their bodies, adding a sense of sacredness to the moon, and the sound of long Xiao and other musical instruments sounds.

Oppa began to dance on the water, and the moonlight emitted layers of light along with the ripples of the water, like a dream. This wonderful scene made everyone hold their breath.

After appreciating the colorful and feathery song that suddenly rose to a new level on Yueying Lake, everyone was immersed in it and could not forget it for a long time. Leopard Girl even said directly with emotion:

"Today I finally understand why Attilan said that the song of colorful feathers is the dance of the goddess. Do you think I can also dance such a beautiful dance?"

As she spoke, Leopard Girl shook the arm of the wine girl next to her.

"No, it's getting late. You'd better go to bed. In my dream, I think you can still dance like this, even more beautiful than Oppa."

It was too late today, so everyone just went to sleep in the wilderness. Fortunately, Attilan's letter to Taishan asked him to bring some equipment for camping.

After everyone fell asleep, Moon Shadow Lake became quiet. Attilan also lay down in the water and prepared to sleep. Suddenly he seemed to hear someone calling him.

"Attilan, have you forgotten your agreement with me?"

"Who?"

Agreement?Attilan didn't even remember who he had made an agreement with.

"You ate so many of my fruits, but ended up forgetting all about me?"

Hearing these words, Attilan's eyes widened immediately. He remembered that almost a year ago, he was trained by the Ursine army and lay on the oak guard eating life acorns to regain his strength.

He once told the oak guard that he would definitely use his lightning breath to help the oak guard temper his body, and then break through to the realm of the ancient tree of life.

"Since you forgot about me, you have to pay the price."

"Wait! I didn't..."

Before Attilan finished speaking, his vision suddenly went dark, and he felt as if he had been thrown into a washing machine and kept spinning.
