Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 186 The Elf's Technique

The next day, Ning Wanjun brought Xia Fan, Mo Yun, Elf, Li and others to the east coast.

"That's the strange boat discovered by the fishermen." The princess gestured.

Xia Fan only felt that his eyes lit up—this ship was completely different from the sailboats he had ever seen. The whole was like an enlarged shuttle, tapered front and back, flat in the middle, about five meters in length, and about one person in height high. What's more unique is that it is emerald green all over, surrounded by countless vines, as if a plant has grown this appearance by itself, in stark contrast to the fishing boat made of wooden boards piece by piece not far away.

"If there is no sail, how does this ship move?" This is also the question Xia Fan wants to know the most.

After listening to Mo Yun's translation, Ai Li stepped on the vines and climbed into the shuttle. Immediately afterwards, something jaw-dropping happened, and the scattered vines at the bottom of the boat swayed from side to side, like the tails of tadpoles.

Ning Wanjun was frightened on the spot and grabbed Xia Fan tightly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness... Take it easy!" The latter gasped. As a person who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, the strength of this grasp can be imagined. Xia Fan felt like his arm was clamped in a vise.

"Ah..." Then the princess came to her senses, retracted her hand and coughed twice, "I'll just say it looks like it's alive!"

She is not afraid of blood crows, nor is she afraid of a battlefield full of corpses, but she is afraid of the unknown. It can only be said that as strong as she is, she will eventually have weaknesses.

The shuttle boat dug into the water little by little, and when the sea water covered its bottom, its speed was obviously much faster. In this way, the elf drove the boat back and forth in front of everyone.

"So it's actually some kind of plant, and you can control it through Qi?" Xia Fan asked after the other party landed.

"To be precise, it is made from the seeds of the tree spirit." Airi explained, "The tree spirit bears fruit every six months. Apart from the edible flesh, the seeds also have a variety of uses. The world Thousands of years ago, the islanders had records of living with the tree spirits, and gradually, using the magic power of the tree spirits became one of our instincts."

Through Mo Yun's translation, Xia Fan heard an extremely interesting ecological structure from Ai Li.

As alien species, elves and demons have the same ability to cast natural spells, but this ability is firmly combined with tree spirits, which is equivalent to turning natural spells into a kind of "alchemy" that requires spell-casting materials.

But with a price comes a corresponding gain.

The natural spells obtained by the elves are not the same, so even if the same seed is used, different effects can be produced. For example, the green shuttle in front of me is the product of the growth of the seed. It can carry two to three people, and it can survive for about five years. It can be driven by the person who senses the energy. However, if you want to control it freely, you still have to communicate with the elves.

On the world island, there are many kinds of strange plants developed from seeds - such as earthworm vines that can fertilize the land, or thorn algae that catch fish independently... It can be said that the social structure of elves is established on Above this tree spirit.

If the magic power in the opponent's mouth is regarded as qi, the tree spirit is like a plant that can sense qi.

Not to mention this theory is a document of the Ministry of Records of the Privy Council, even Li's Master Qingjian has never mentioned any relevant information.

Considering the closed nature of the World Island, I am afraid that the few people present are very likely to be the first people in Daqi to know the existence of the Senqi Tree.

In addition, the genetic ability of elves is much stronger than that of demons.

According to Airi, even if outsiders intermarry with islanders, the offspring will basically grow pointed ears. When the outsider dies naturally, the offspring will be completely integrated into the world islanders, and it is almost impossible to tell where his parents or mothers came from.

Of course, not every elf has the ability to resonate with the tree spirit. In other words, there is still a certain degree of randomness in the awakening of the spirit. Although Ai Li did not want to disclose the number of elves' aura sensers, since they can support a complete group, their probability is obviously much higher than that of fox demons like Li.

"The powerful enemy from the other side of the sea attacked your homeland, mainly because they wanted to gain the power of the tree spirit?" Compared with the ecological structure, Ning Wanjun cared more about the enemy in the opponent's mouth.

"Yes..." Airi nodded heavily, "Seeds can expand into green shuttles, and can also be changed into other shapes, such as forming a net and sticking to the bottom of the boat, which can make the sailing boat reach speeds that are impossible under normal circumstances. The enemy . . . intends to lock us up in darkened cabins and drive great galleys for them."

This kind of power source that is not affected by sea conditions and weather is indeed of extraordinary significance to sea-going ships.

"You came to the mainland to escape the flames of war?"

"Not only that." Airi bit her lips, "Now the tree boat I'm in is looking for a place where I can get supplies. The Western Continent has never been set foot by those people so far, and your size... is also huge. It’s on World Island, so I’m wondering if the tree boat can temporarily stop here to get supplies.”

"Are you short of food?" Ning Wanjun asked sharply.

"I just think there's no harm in having more reserves..." Her tone was a little guilty, "Of course we didn't intend to ask for it in vain. I heard that business is popular in the Western Continent, and everyone can get what they need through transactions."

"Can seeds be traded?" Xia Fan asked bluntly.

"I think... that's fine too. However, there are very few people who are willing to leave the tree boat, so products like Green Shuttle may not be useful."

"It's not a problem to do business, after all, it's just a boat." Ning Wanjun nodded, "Where is the tree boat now? How much food do you need?"

"It should be floating off the coast of the Western Continent. I think the more food to eat, the better. After all, there are more than 30,000 people on the tree boat—"

"What did you say?" Xia Fan and Ning Wanjun interrupted her at the same time, "Thirty thousand people!?"

"Yes..." Ai Li shrank back in fright, "The core of every tree boat is a newborn tree spirit, and the world island is also made up of many tree spirits..."

That is a ghost boat! It doesn't matter whether it is a reef or an island, it is still the kind that can move by itself!

Xia Fan cast a look at the princess.

The latter immediately understood, "In principle, we welcome any law-abiding businessman to do business in Jinxia City—no matter whether he is from outside the East China Sea or from the West Pole. However, due to the large transaction amount, it is best to wait until you arrive in the East China Sea. Then send an envoy to discuss with us in detail."

"Really?" Ai Li showed a rare joy, this is the best news she has heard recently, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, I will bring the news back to Shuzhou!"

"Remember to make a list of your products... no, seed products," Xia Fan added, "It will be more efficient to negotiate in this way. Also, haven't you considered living outside the range of the tree spirit's blessing?"

Ai Li was startled, "You mean...say goodbye to the tree spirit?"

"Yeah, even if you don't have seeds, you can reproduce like other people, can't you? Since you want to break your own isolation, someone has to go out and go to a wider place, just like your clansman a hundred years ago Same." Xia Fan spread his hands and said, "If you don't want to leave the tree spirit's surroundings from the beginning to the end, changing the status quo is just empty talk."
