Chapter 2 The Magical Druid Baby(1/2)
Although Xu Lei is still confused until now, he really wants to experiment.
With a little curiosity and uneasiness, just as a thought arose, he left the druid wood heart space and returned to the color steel room.
Come and go freely, as long as you have ideas in your mind, you can enter and exit the space at any time.
After his uneasiness calmed down, Xu Lei began to think about how to complete the task in his mind.
Some time ago, Taoyuan had half a bag of potassium sulfate compound fertilizer for fruit trees, and oak trees should be used. In addition, the space is full of dry sandy land, which is typically severely dehydrated.
Thinking of this, he carried a plastic bucket and received two large buckets of water in front of the water tower.
The oak tree was half dead and was afraid of applying too much fertilizer to burn the roots to death. Xu Lei did not dare to use it too much. He only got less than a pound of potassium sulfate compound fertilizer and put it in clean water to stir.
Get everything ready and appear in the space again.
With anticipation, Xu Lei used a shovel to dig two deep pits beside the dry oak tree and poured water and fertilizer into it.
"Well..." He grunted suddenly and widened his eyes.
The feeling of connecting with the oak tree's body and mind is so amazing... I can clearly sense that after getting the water and fertilizer supply, the entire tree exudes a cheerful atmosphere.
Comfortable, especially comfortable... It's like a beggar who has been hungry for a long time suddenly encounters a table of delicious food.
The tiny fibrous roots slowly moved, stretched, and extracted moisture and nutrients from the soil. The entire tree cell was cheering... After a while, Xu Lei felt most of the hunger in his body disappear.
At the same time, the dry oak branches undergo changes that are visible to the naked eye, and tender green leaves are growing rapidly.
The shriveled fruit on the top of the tree expanded to the size of a fist, with a red color on the outside and was extremely conspicuous, completely different from the acorns on the earth.
Xu Lei clearly sensed that some kind of change was happening in the fruit, as if a living life was nurturing and growing.
The Chinese words appear in my mind:
Congratulations to the host for increasing the druid wood heart fit to 30%, and a cute druid worm wakes up from his sleep.
The tree is still lacking in nutrition, so please continue to work hard to provide sufficient energy.
After completing the mission, a new druid will be born.
Still lacking energy? After getting a prompt, Xu Lei took the bucket out of the space to collect water again.
Of course, I didn’t dare to add potassium sulfate compound fertilizer this time.
Continue digging holes around the oak trees, and more than a dozen buckets of water were poured down, and the prompt sounds kept ringing in my mind:
"Congratulations to the host for increasing the druid wood heart fit to 35%..."
"Congratulations to the host for increasing the druid wood heart fit to 40%..."
...
After more than an hour of struggle, the fit was finally increased to 50%.
The growth then became extremely slow, and each time it was beating at half a day, which made Xu Lei, who was waiting for the miracle to happen, felt a little impatient.
It was not until his cell phone rang when he was picking up water by the water tower that he realized that he had been up for nearly an hour and had all his energy on this mysterious oak tree. The chicken coop had not been cleaned yet and the eggs had not been picked up.
The phone call was from my mother and she called him to go home for dinner.
Xu Lei agreed and hung up.
It just rained after the meal, and the ground in Taoyuan was wet. The chickens were easily replaced by coccidiosis in such an environment. So Xu Lei did not release the chickens.
After entering the chicken coop, he first sensed the air and temperature inside, and then added feed and water. When feeding, he specially added intestinal medicines and gland gastritis drugs.
Because the weather is humid and the feed is prone to mold, the Chai Chicken may get glanditis and coccidiosis after eating it, so it should be prevented in advance.
After distributing the feed, Xu Lei locked the orchard gate and returned to the village at the foot of the mountain for dinner.
Xujiagou Village is not big, with more than 100 households and 400 people, divided into two production teams. The houses in the village are basically two-story buildings, high and low, hidden among the green trees. They look quite beautiful, and look like a paradise.
But this is just an appearance... It's still early to the New Year, and young people are basically working outside. Now the whole village is deserted, with most people only having elderly people and children left behind. Some of the doors are even locked, the houses are no longer in the house, and the yard is covered with weeds.
If it weren't for the father's injury, Xu Lei wouldn't have come back.
When he got home, his mother was serving Xu Qingshan for dinner.
Xu Lei shouted, went into the kitchen to shovel half a bowl of vegetables, took two salted eggs, till a steamed bun with chopsticks, and squatted at the entrance of the yard to eat.
Now that life in the countryside is better, there is no shortage of dining table at home. However, many villagers in Xujiagou still maintain the tradition of the past, leaning against the wall and eating and rushing to the dining room.
Three or five neighbors gathered together, chatting while eating. The first talked about astronomy, geography, and national affairs; the next talk about the latest news in ten miles and eight villages, which was very lively.
Someone can eat a bowl of rice for an hour, but after eating it.
Xu Lei used to join in this kind of fun, but today he was thinking about the oak clone and didn't go to the dining room.
Until now, he still feels like he is having an absurd and weird dream.
However, the consciousness closely connected to the Big Oak kept telling him that it was not a dream, it was a real existence.
After going to finish the meal in a few seconds, he said hello to his mother. Xu Lei hurried back to Taoyuan and continued to study the oak clone.
There is a saying on the Internet that life is like that. Since you can't resist, you can only enjoy it.
He vaguely felt that he might get a legendary opportunity.
Entering the space, as Xu Lei expects, the words finally change in his mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the task. The druid wood heart fit has been increased to 60%. A cute druid worm is about to be born. Please prepare for the arrival of a new life."
What exactly is a druid worm? Xu Lei stood beside the oak tree, his eyes full of anxiety and expectation.
So far, he is still incredible about the clone of this big tree and feels unreal.
Suddenly, the oak tree fruit cracked. A fresh thing slowly crawled out from inside and climbed down the trunk.
What a big bug... This is Xu Lei's first idea.
This guy looks very strange, about ten centimeters long, thick and fat, with dark color on his face, and two tentacles on his head, which are slightly shiny with jade.
Suddenly, it looked very similar to Tangbao in "The Bone of Flowers". She was cute and cute, quite beautiful and quite cute.
Is this the druid? Xu Lei stood under the tree and looked at the little guy without any fear. On the contrary, he was very kind.
But... what is the function of this bug and how to feed it?
As soon as I was having a question, the text prompt appeared in my mind:
"The primary druidworm is a gift from nature. It has a natural affinity for plants. It can absorb grass and trees essences to grow and affect the surrounding environment. Note that if the druidworm does not absorb enough grass and trees essences for more than a certain period of time, it will lie dormant or even die. Please find a suitable place for it to grow as soon as possible."
Draw the essence of grass and trees... find a suitable place to grow!
Xu Lei looked at the druids gradually approaching and looked at the environment in the space with a wry smile.
The surroundings are full of sandy land, and there are no other plants except the big oak trees, so feed them with yarn.
Then he slapped his head and said he was really confused.
If it cannot be raised in the space, it can be placed outside. The vast world has great achievements.
There are hundreds of peach trees growing in the orchard, which should provide enough nutrition for the little guy. Although until now, he still doesn't understand what the essence of grass and trees belongs to.
But you can also guess one or two, which should be similar to the aura of grass and trees in fairy tales novels.
In order to verify his ideas, Xu Lei stretched out his hand to the druids not far away.
Unexpectedly, the little guy cooperated very well and immediately crawled into the palm of his hand.
Xu Lei took the druidworm out of the space, walked quickly into the orchard, and chose the thickest peach tree.
According to speculation, this little guy's living habits should be similar to those of mulberry silkworms in his childhood, and they all eat leaves... Lao Tie, 666, there is nothing wrong with thinking like this.
But I knew that the druids hugged their fingers tightly with several pairs of insect feet and said that they refused to climb up the peach tree. From the consciousness it conveyed, there was even a hint of disgust.
With confusion, Xu Lei placed the druid worm on the peach tree branch, and a text prompt immediately appeared:
Product name: Peach Tree
Age: 4
Features: Rosaceae, peach plant. Small deciduous trees, blooming in early spring; nearly spherical bead fruit, with furry on the surface, edible meat, orange-yellow red, 7.5 cm in diameter, core with deep numbs and grooves, containing white seeds.
Note: The tree has been severely contaminated by animal feces and suffers from root knot nematode disease, stem base rot, root rot, and blue wilt. Please treat it immediately, otherwise the entire plant will die.
The druid is like a precise scanning instrument, reporting all the information of the peach tree in front of you in detail.
It's so amazing, with its own plant identification skills...and wait, will the peach tree die?
Xu Lei was full of doubts: This peach tree is the best growing in the orchard. There is no abnormality in the appearance. The leaves are lush and there are many peaches on it...
Could it be that the druid worm was wrong? He reached out to retrieve the little thing and placed it on another nearby peach tree, but the little guy still showed resistance.
The peach tree is once again reminded in my mind that it is suffering from pests and diseases.
The third plant, the fourth plant... I tried several times in succession, but there was no difference in the identification results.
Looking at the vitality of Taoshu Forest, Xu Lei instinctively didn't want to believe it.
Could it be that the druids and peach trees are in conflict and do not like to live on them? He can only comfort himself in this way.
Think about it normally, for example, mulberry silkworms usually eat mulberry leaves and mulberry leaves. If you put them on poplar trees, you will definitely not eat them.
With speculation, Xu Lei walked to the outside of the orchard and placed the druids next to a tuft of hairy wolfberry trees by the ground.
To be continued...
