Chapter 559: Submit your name, I see through your "underpants"!
The process of meeting the ancient tree-man king is much simpler than imagined.
There are no security checks like in the TV series when meeting the emperor, nor are there brainless villains popping up to slap you in the face.
The whole process is the same as when Shuren described his character.
A desire for peace and no struggle with the world.
As Zhu Ling's words fell softly, Zhu Xia nodded respectfully, first stepped forward and opened the door, and then waved his hand.
"Dear guests, please come in!"
With Sun Di taking the lead, a group of five people stepped directly into the small building without stopping.
Adhering to the purely natural decoration, the exterior of the building looks as gentle as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River in China.
But once inside, it turns into an exhibition garden of various plants.
Various canes in full bloom with beautiful flowers are wrapped around the stress pillars that stabilize the house and climb up until they reach the top of the building, where they naturally hang down, spreading the fragrance of flowers.
"Welcome, distinguished guests from heaven!"
As the previous words sounded again, all the plants seemed to be given life and began to move slowly.
It only took three to five seconds to reveal the covered scene.
In a study room similar to an office, behind a simple desk sat a tree man who looked very handsome.
Its branches are covered with fine buds, and its main trunk is inlaid with dazzling green mist gems.
Even if each of its branches hangs down to the ground, it cannot block the unique beauty it reveals.
The most eye-catching thing is that on the top of his head, there is a crown made of golden plants, which blooms with little bits of light as he breathes.
This is a very elegant and tasteful tree man.
The moment he saw Zhu Ling, Sumo came to this conclusion unconsciously.
Different from the towering trees seen in the holographic letters, although Zhu Ling is now countless times smaller, his temperament is still well preserved.
Any creature that sees him will unconsciously feel close to him.
"Dear Zhu Ling, the ancient lord of the tree people, hello, I am Sun Di, subordinate to the human lord Sumo from the heaven."
"Thank you for meeting me despite your busy schedule!"< br>
Two steps forward, Sun Di stretched out his right hand and held the branch tightly.
Exactly what Sumo had planned in his plan, Zhu Ling did not show any contempt for even ordinary humans, but instead gave them extremely high standards of reception.
After just a few polite words, the two entered into a more intimate conversation.
After listening to the conversation between the two for a while and discovering that Sun Di was fully capable of handling Zhu Ling's various questions, Su Mo was completely relieved and began to divert his attention to call out the system.
Follow the rules that have been worked out before.
For items with ownership rights, or creatures whose life levels have not reached a certain level, the system will not provide corresponding attribute interfaces.
But this is not absolute.
With the idea of giving it a try, Sumo voted directly for the first appraisal, Zhu Ling, the king of trees, who was sitting behind the desk and talking loudly.
Wow!
The green light automatically derived from the body, spread crazily through the floor covered with plants to Zhu Ling's feet, and then wrapped around his body in a circle before returning.
“Huh? Is there a show?”
Seeing that the performance of the silk thread was completely different from when it returned without success, Somo took a long and deep breath and quickly suppressed the joy in his heart.
Sure enough, the next second, as the thread returned, a detailed attribute panel was revealed.
[The ancient king of tree people-Zhu Ling (Lord)]
[Description]: This is a strange creature from the plant planet numbered B-31, similar to ordinary plants. Than, the backbone of this strange creature has blood similar to that of normal creatures, so that they have the power of thinking and the ability to leave the soil and move freely on the ground
[Age]: 39 years
[Tree height]: Reduced form: 1.82 meters; Normal form: 19 meters; Peak form: 28 meters;
[Intelligence level]: 119 (analogous to human IQ)
[Companion plants] : Golden silk green (a plant with a simple IQ, which can be freely woven into various forms such as armor and weapons during battle)
[Ability]:
Lord Wisdom (become After becoming a tree human lord, your IQ will naturally increase by 10 points)
Plant affinity (because of its unique biological characteristics, when in contact with other organisms, there is a high probability of gaining the other's favor)
Vitality (after taking root in the land, the tree will absorb the fertility of the land and carry out all-round development) Directional loss recovery)
[Weakness]:
Fire (Like ordinary plants, tree people also have a natural fear of fire. Once they are caught by flames, their strength will plummet. More than 50%)
Cold (when the temperature is below minus 30 degrees, the tree man must take root in the ground to keep the blood flowing, otherwise he will fall into blood freezing and die of supercooling)
Physical attack (blood flows in the trunk of the tree people, giving them extraordinary magic power, but this is also the source of their weakness. Once their trunk is severely damaged, it is very likely to cause death due to massive bleeding)
[Evaluation]: Wisdom is a double-edged sword. While it brings creativity, it also takes away the power of the physical body!
The panel of Zhu Ling, the king of tree people, is not luxurious. Compared with the gods detected before, it is more than a little inferior.
And, after noticing a few key data, Sumo felt relieved.
The three-hundred-meter-tall tree man in the holographic projection was indeed a fake. It was an illusion created by Zhu Ling through unknown means in order to fool and frighten his ally.
And now, although his peak height is still nearly thirty meters, every move he makes is as terrifying as a humanoid Gundam.
But these three weaknesses severely restricted his performance, so much so that the combat effectiveness of the tree man was weakened by nearly 70% out of thin air!
“No wonder these tree people are often more than ten meters tall. They seem to have amazing fighting power, but they never take the initiative to attack. Instead, they form an alliance against others under the slogan of peace.”
“If at this stage, If they really collide, even if they can win the war, they may not be able to survive the aftermath!”
“It’s not worth it at all!”
Coming to this conclusion, Somo also had some idea as to why the tree people invited humans to enter the territory and develop together.
To put it bluntly, Shuren’s current shortcomings are not irreparable.
For example, once these towering trees are put on heavy armor to protect the weak points of the body, it is basically difficult to break through the defense before the attack power reaches a certain level.
Another example is the fear of fire. If you can carry a high-power fire extinguisher with you, you can basically greatly reduce the damage caused by flames.
Even if plants can be artificially induced to mutate and more auxiliary companion plants are born, the strength of the tree people will also change by leaps and bounds.
"Wait, if that's the case."
Close Zhu Ling's attribute panel, Sumo refocused his attention and began to listen to the conversation behind the desk.
After the initial unfamiliarity, one person and one tree lost their previous politeness and began to discuss specific directions.
However, although Zhu Ling's IQ is 119, reaching the starting line for human academic masters, this does not mean that his level of intelligence is truly as good as that of a human being.
Sun Di is just a few Tai Chi pushers who can't splash water, but he is already a little anxious.
"Mr. Sun, you have also seen our sincerity in cooperating with Heavenly Court. For you humans, the ancient Shu people have great sincerity." With the help of the human race, we believe that once a long-term cooperative trade is established, the tree human race will become the eternal ally of heaven and the eternal ally of mankind."
"Since Lord Soma trusts you to come, don't refuse to join us. "What do you think?"
Hearing Sun Di push back on the specific content of the trade, he turned the topic to the impact of cooperation between the two parties on the surrounding situation.
Zhu Ling's heart was so hot that he directly stated his urgent needs straight to the point.
At this time, Sun Di couldn't refuse anymore and had to continue: "I wonder what kind of items Lord Zhuling wants to exchange for the fairy fruit?"
"Fan Ye!"
< br>“For each fairy fruit, we can provide rice leaves for two hundred people for a day!”
“Or you can use other rare plant resources in the territory of the tree people. If you can sign on behalf of Lord Somo, According to the agreement, we will give you 10,000 rice leaves as a personal gift, as well as several kinds of fruits that can improve your physical fitness."
Zhu Ling seemed to know the twists and turns of human beings in negotiations! Simply, the handwriting is amazing enough!
Not to mention that one fairy fruit can be exchanged for rice leaves for 200 people.
Just the rice leaves that can last a person for 27 years and the rebates on several rare fruits are enough to make people excited. "What a generous move!"
"Lord Zhu Ling, this is such a generous move!"
Seeing Zhu Ling throw out his chips, Sun Di was in a dilemma. Sumo immediately smiled freely and walked out of the team.
"Oh? Who is this?"
"I am the supervising adjutant of this mission team. Lord Zhuling can call me, Hou Liangping"
He made up a random name and saw Seeing a trace of uncertainty flashing across Zhu Ling's face, Su Mo did not stop talking and continued to speak:
"There is no need for Lord Zhu Ling to use low-level means like kickbacks to deceive us. We, the Heavenly Court, Although there are not many supplies now, we still need this little food. What’s more, if we take this thing and let Lord Somo know, even if the deal is signed, it may not be able to be implemented by then."
Hearing this, Zhu Ling paused: "It seems that I thought it wrong. The people under Lord Somo are indeed different from other humans."
"But it's not like this trade agreement can't be done."
"Oh?"
Seeing Su Mo's confident and straight-to-the-point performance, he continued to push his hands in Tai Chi before thinking of Sun Di. Grinding and chirping.
Zhu Ling immediately became interested and tapped the branch against the ground twice, summoning a wooden chair opposite the table.
Sun Di on the other side did not feel unhappy at all. Instead, he stood up lightly and returned to the crowd.
Da Ma Jin Dao sat down, leaned back, and Su Mo said again:
"I think Lord Zhuling has already understood our human habits and traditions, so I won't go around here." "Go around"
"There is no problem with the transaction, and there is no problem with the caravan. As allies, we have to exchange what we have"
"But according to the wishes of our Lord Soma, we want In exchange for fairy fruits, rice leaves can be used, but they cannot be the lowest grade rice leaves. At the very least, they must be dark green! "
Wow!
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhu Ling nodded in surprise, but in the second half of the sentence, especially when the three words "dark green" came out.
His expression suddenly suffocated, and then a huge momentum rose from the ground.
As the basis for the Shuren tribe to settle down and live, although Iiha’s level is not a major secret, it is not information that can be known to others.
At the first moment, he thought that Zhu Chuan had revealed the news and handed this information to his opponent.
But the next second, looking at the smile on Sumo's face, he could only suppress his thoughts and said in a loud voice: "I don't know where Lord Sumo learned about the dark green color. .”
"No, Lord Zhuling, this is how unkind you are. As allies, there is nothing wrong with having secrets between us, but we should not deceive our allies like this!"
"The levels of leaves are divided into..."< br>
“Don’t worry, this news did not come from your tribe, but our Lord Somo had other methods.”
Suppressed Zhu Ling’s words directly, and completely After explaining the different grades and attributes of leaves.
Seeing Zhu Ling choked for words, Sumo shook his head gently and pursued the victory:
"And even if you agree to exchange dark green rice leaves now, we can't agree."
"Are you kidding me?"
It seems that you are aware that you have been deceived by Somo. After the real information came out, Zhu Ling suddenly stood up, with branches and leaves all over his body floating in the air like a net, giving him the feeling of being selective.
And the tyrannical momentum he had before, at this moment, actually exploded to a new height.
At the same time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the hut, like raindrops hitting the earth, which made people shudder.
Faced with this outburst of momentum, Sun Di, who had just retreated, was fine. Apart from turning pale, he could still maintain his mentality.
But the remaining villagers were shaking like chaff, obviously suffering a big shock.
“No, no, no, Lord Zhu Ling, you have misunderstood this. Although we are allies, we did not exchange wealth as soon as we came up, right?”
“What’s more, The good things in the hands of our lords are not just fairy fruits. We still have many things that you need and the tree people need!”
Looking at Zhu Ling’s tree face the whole time, he was shocked by this momentum. Sumo was completely unaware.
As he spoke out, Zhu Ling suddenly regained his momentum and sat back again, as if nothing had happened.
"Yes, yes, heaven is really capable of countless people, much stronger than normal humans!"
It feels uncomfortable to have someone see through your trump card.
After understanding that Su Mo knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to do anything, and the real bottom line, Zhu Ling no longer pretended, but instead said calmly:
"Tell me, let's I listen to Lord Soma’s advice!”
"First, the purpose of our cooperation is for the two territories to exchange supplies, fight against surrounding enemies, and become stronger. Therefore, before the formal transaction, we need to submit a certificate of recognition."
Zhu Ling: " Submit a certificate?"
Su Mo nodded: "Yes, just talk without practicing tricks, a simple trade will be broken at once. Once an enemy really attacks, it is inevitable that our cooperation will have some problems. There is a contradiction, so we need to join forces to attack the enemy. It can be the Light Empire, the Demon Soul Clan, or the dwarves."
"In short, we need to let the outside world know that the Tree People Clan and the Heavenly Court have reached an agreement. Cooperate and fight against any one of them, and the other party will not sit idly by!"
After getting serious, Zhu Ling also began to think about Sumo's well-founded remarks.
After a long while, he nodded: "Yes, there is no problem with this request. As the original intention of our cooperation, we need a certificate to ensure cooperation!"
"Just in the attack, we can also see The true strength of the other party!"
Sumo: "Very good, since Lord Zhuling agrees, then after the declaration of name is completed, we can start real trade cooperation"
" We need leaves, and we also need plants with other functions"
"At the same time, in addition to fairy fruits, there are other things that the tree people need in our territory"
Zhu Ling: "Oh? For example?"
"For example, the companion plant on Mr. Shuren's body, Golden Thread Green, we can induce it to become stronger and have more abilities!"
>Boom!
It is different from the feigned anger that Zhu Ling pretended to do before.
This time, when he heard the words "Golden Thread Green", he was stunned for a moment, and then directly revealed a naked murderous intention.
Obviously, the explosiveness of this news has exceeded his psychological bottom line, so much so that he has the intention of killing people and silencing them.
However, the next second after thinking of something else.
He sat back helplessly on the chair, his murderous aura completely dissipated.
“Can I know how Lord Sumo knew this news?”
“Oh? Doesn’t Lord Zhuling think that Lord Sumo should know?”
With a hint of pretended "puzzle", he looked at Zhu Ling's astonishment and subsequent dejection after being questioned by him.
Sumo immediately felt happy and chuckled.
"How about it, is Lord Zhuling interested in hearing about further cooperation?"
"Can I still say 'no'?"
After taking a deep look at Su Mo's disguised face, Zhu Ling spread out his branches and removed the table with a wave of his hand.
"Since Lord Soma already knows so much, there's no point in keeping it secret."
"Let's go, before we start real cooperation, I have to show you our ancient tree race. The true background of "
