Still alive 200 million years ago

This forest is located between the Royal Court and the Salt Lake. It is lush and leafy.

After the forest on the plain outside the royal court was destroyed by the Sun Flame Dragon King, Fury and other dragons had no choice but to come here to cut down trees and build bridges. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

Xu Dong landed on the ground and chose to walk in slowly like an ordinary animal. This forest was very quiet, but it was a bit too quiet. There were no insects or birds. Although there were no real birds yet, there were no birds. But they are all already arboreal.

In such a quiet forest, are these ancient demons that caused the Devonian mass extinction really reappearing?

A tree root stretched out towards Xu Dong quietly. Although it was hidden under the dead branches and leaves, Xu Dong could not hide the movement.

Thick tree roots suddenly shot out from the ground and were about to go around Xu Dong's hind limbs, but they ended up in the air. Xu Dong had already floated in the air and avoided the attack of the tree roots.

Monsters, I can tell at a glance that you are not human.

The trees in all directions showed their original shapes, and countless tree roots rushed out crazily and hit Xu Dong, but they were all chopped off by his steel knife.

Do you still want to compare the hardness of his steel knife with these dead branches and rotten roots? Then I can only say one thing: I am not targeting anyone, I am saying that everyone present is happy.

Cutting off a few tree roots cannot shake the foundation of the big tree. The attack ability of these guys is not strong. The only thing to worry about is the number.

If he hadn't been so angry that they hadn't found them yet, Xu Dong would have burned them long ago. Gymnosperms are all flammable, and as long as a fire source is needed, the entire forest can be burned.

Under the operation of telekinesis, the steel knife danced airtight. As long as tree roots came over, they were cut into two pieces. Some tree roots wanted to bypass the steel knife and attack from behind, but they stopped outside the telekinesis shield and could not break through at all.

The pine trees attacked for a long time without even hurting Xu Dong's hair scales, and finally stopped attacking.

Xu Dong had no choice but to negotiate terms. Soon a group of tightly tied velociraptors were carried over by the pine trees and piled under the trees.

Why, the storm is not going to work and I want to use the threat of hostages?

When Xu Dong stepped on the ground, he was surprised to find that he seemed to be connected to the Dadi network again, but this time he was not an administrator, but an ordinary member.

At this time, through the mycelial network of the earth, the pine trees conveyed their meaning, which was very clear, take them away, do not interfere with each other in the future, and do not come back to cut down trees.

It seems that these guys also know how to assess the situation and know how to compromise when they can't win.

If the wisdom of the Zerg is directly controlled by the mastermind mother worm, and the bugs completely obey the orders of the mastermind, then the wisdom of plants is the commonality of the Internet.

The dense mycelium underground is equivalent to the network cables of later generations of upright apes, and the big trees are terminal machines. This social structure makes the communication method of plants through mutual communication and negotiation.

The pine trees in this pine forest had obviously reached an agreement and compromised with Xu Dong.

Xu Dong looked around at the big trees, and couldn't tell which tree was the most important terminal. They were all exactly the same.

After thinking about whether to agree to the non-aggression of the woods or to turn around and destroy them, he finally felt that cooperation was more reliable.

The Royal Court is located on the large lake to the east, and this forest is the only way to the Salt Lake. In other words, if they are ignored, this forest will become the western barrier of the Velociraptor Royal Court. good.

But letting go of the dragon light that captured me is not enough.

Xu Dong pointed out the passage to the salt lake in the west, and his meaning was equally clear. I don't care if you attack others or not. Anyway, we must ensure that the Velociraptor can pass through the forest safely through this road.

There was no movement among the pine trees for a long time, and the steel knife beside Xu Dong began to be dishonest again. He was threatening. If you agree, we can still negotiate. If you don't agree, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

In the end, these big trees agreed to Xu Dong's conditions, and the tree roots that bound the velociraptors were loosened. Furious and other velociraptors finally regained their freedom.

The velociraptors quickly climbed up and moved closer to Xu Dong. Under the leadership of Xu Dong, they left the forest in a grand manner.

The previous speculation may have come true. The Immortals who were summoned to participate in the expedition will probably have to deal with these moving plants. As for how these plants move, Xu Dong doesn't know.

They go to deal with them. Xu Dong is just a new longevity species who has eaten a mutated pronucleus. These major world-level events cannot be found in him.

The most important thing now is to establish the various developments of the Royal Court.

Xu Dong has four main tasks. First, connect the canals to raise fish. This is a simple matter. You only need to wait for the earthen kiln to be built before it can be put into use.

Second, fill the holes to build earthen kilns and fire pottery.

Third, build animal pens to raise animals.

Fourth, build a plank bridge on the tunnel for Xunlong to go out.

I don’t know how much time and energy it will take to do these four things alone. After that, we need to build a road leading to the mountains and forests in the south to start the second stage of mining.

Thinking about it gives me a headache, it would be more practical to go find someone to fight.

Just when Xu Dong's head was hurting, Fury came over again and asked him if the wooden bridge should be repaired. Repair it, of course it must be repaired. If you want to be rich, you must build the road first.

But the problem is that the nearest forest has turned into a living tree man. If you want to cut down a tree, you have to go to a forest further away. Let’s not talk about the distance. The most troublesome thing is that we don’t know where the tree has turned into a tree. The trees have not changed.

Xu Dong couldn't just go back and ask those big pine trees: Which forest has not become the same kind as yours? Point it out and let us cut it down.

In this case, there is a high probability that we will have to fight with the big trees again.

Xu Dong was naturally not afraid of fighting. It was very simple to burn down the flammable pine forest. Unless they could uproot and escape, they would basically be dead when encountering fire.

The main thing is that killing the pine forest will not do Xu Dong any good. Although it is easy to burn it, the wood for building the bridge still cannot be obtained, and you still have to cut it in a distant place. And if the forest in the distance wakes up, then it will enter this set again. It's an endless loop.

Rather than harming others and not benefiting oneself, it is better to keep them as gatekeepers.

More importantly, he was afraid of attracting the attention of nature. He didn't want to beat nature to death like he did with the Zerg in the past, but he didn't get any benefits.

Now he just wants to let Xunlong climb the civilization process in peace and contentment.

Nature manages so many living things on the entire earth, and it can be said that it has control over the entire earth. However, it is not omniscient and omnipotent, and it is impossible to pay attention to every animal.

The management of nature is roughly to set up an ecological circle and let animals and plants take over, develop and evolve on their own.

Of course, weak ordinary creatures cannot attract the attention of nature, but it is different if they are pseudo-legends and extraordinary beings.

As the old saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. For Nature, the CEO of the Earth Group, you are so capable, why don’t you come over and help me maintain the ecological balance?
