Fire Phoenix nodded, then she looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I'm preparing to send troops to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai looked at Fire Phoenix and said, "Village Lord, sending troops to the Hundred Thousand Mountains at this time isn't a good thing. First of all, the Ten Village Alliance hasn't been formally established. Although I have a proposal, it's clear that this proposal hasn't been implemented yet. So if we send troops now, we will become the vanguard of the other nine tribes. They will see what we can do in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Moreover, if we do this, not only will we not be able to harm the Tiger Soul Country, we will also alert the enemy. I think that we should first join forces with the other villages and then send troops to the Hundred Thousand Mountains together."
When Fire Phoenix heard Zhao Hai, she couldn't help but frown. She couldn't wait any longer, especially after her strength increased and she gained control of a hundred thousand troops. She couldn't wait any longer.
Zhao Hai looked at Fire Phoenix and said, "Village Lord, you're still young. You can wait for the Sand Tiger Village to grow stronger before sending troops to the Tiger Soul Country. But if you send troops to the Tiger Soul Country now, have you thought about the consequences? Sand Tiger Village is your family's foundation. If you lose everything, then you'll have nothing left. "
Fire Phoenix quietly listened to Zhao Hai. She knew that she was being impatient, so she let out a long breath and said, "Alright, then I'll do as you say. I'll wait."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the sky and said, "Village Lord, I'll take a rest first. Then I'll head back. My experiment still needs to be done. If it succeeds, then the desert wouldn't be as terrible as it is now." Then Zhao Hai stood up and cupped his fist towards Fire Phoenix before he turned around and left.
After Zhao Hai left, Fire Phoenix turned to the scholar and said, "Scholar, go and see what Crane Grass said about the Bottle Tree. Also, bring the flag of the Sand Tiger Village. Don't let anyone touch Crane Grass's things."
The scholar nodded, then he stood up and turned around to leave. He was also very curious about the Bottle Tree that Zhao Hai mentioned. He wanted to see what was so special about it.
Zhao Hai didn't care too much about this, he just went to find a tent and went to sleep. Although he has natural energy, it was very slow to replenish it in the desert. However, he was using a lot of it. This time, he was really tired.
After resting for a day, his fatigue was swept away. At the same time, his natural energy was also restored. Zhao Hai went out of his tent.
When he arrived outside his tent, Zhao Hai saw a Sand Tiger soldier standing outside. When the soldier saw that Zhao Hai had woken up, he immediately greeted him and said, "Second Master, the Village Lord is waiting for you. She wants you to see her immediately after you wake up." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Second Master, the Village Lord is waiting for you.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go." Then he followed the minion towards the tent.
When Zhao Hai arrived at the tent, he discovered that only Fire Phoenix was inside. Zhao Hai cupped his fist towards Fire Phoenix and said, "Village Lord, you were looking for me?"
The Fire Phoenix's eyes flashed as she looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Crane Grass, you're awake. I'll have the scholar take a look at the Bottle Trees that you planted tomorrow. Those trees are already filled with water. Moreover, there are at least 20 thousand of them. Did you plant them in the past two days?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "You're awake.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, these trees were planted in the past two days. Since it's the thunder season, I planted them to absorb the water. Then I put them away, I want to do some experiments on them." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, these trees were planted in the past two days.
Fire Phoenix looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Experiments? What kind of experiments? "
Zhao Hai replied, "I want to do some experiments in the desert. I planted some Bottle Trees in the desert. This way, when the rainy season arrives, the Bottle Trees would be able to store a lot of water. Once the rainy season passes, the Bottle Trees would be filled with water. This water would allow the desert to grow grass. This way, the desert wouldn't be a desert anymore."
Fire Phoenix's eyes flashed as she said, "Can he do it?"
Zhao Hai replied, "It's hard to say right now, we'll have to do it to know. My previous idea was wrong, I just wanted to improve the desert's plants and make them more resistant to drought. However, I forgot that there are no drought resistant plants that can withstand the rain for several months." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's hard to say right now.
At this point, Zhao Hai let out a long breath, then he continued, "The Bottle Tree is a good thing for storing water. However, it has a weakness. The Bottle Tree can't give its water to other plants. This way, the other plants wouldn't be able to get any benefits. I want to improve it and see if the Bottle Tree can give its water to other plants. This way, all the plants in the desert would be able to benefit." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "The Bottle Tree is a good thing for storing water.
Zhao Hai let out a long breath and said, "The annual rainfall of the desert isn't very low. From yesterday's rain, you can see that it rained for several days. Moreover, the rain wasn't small. However, the desert's soil has already turned into sand, and sand can't hold water. Because of this, even if it rains in the desert, the water would still seep into the sand. People and plants wouldn't be able to use it. At most, it would form a seasonal river in some riverbeds. Once the dry season arrives, the seasonal river would quickly dry up. This is the biggest problem in the desert." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's because the desert's soil has already turned into sand.
Fire Phoenix nodded. Although she didn't live in the desert for a long time, she was still aware of the desert's situation. Zhao Hai was right, the biggest problem with the desert was that water couldn't be stored, all of it seeped into the sand. There might be an underground river in the desert, but the water from that river couldn't be used. This was the reason why the desert was so barren.
Zhao Hai looked at the Fire Phoenix and said, "The reason why I want to plant a Bottle Tree is because I want to store the water that has seeped into the ground. This way, whether it's people or plants, they can use it. But it's obvious that this isn't an easy task. I still need to do a lot of experiments."
Fire Phoenix thought about it and said in a low voice, "Crane Grass, how about this? I'll tell the other Nine Villages about your idea and ask them to send some Plant Masters to support you. I think they'll be very willing to do so. After all, improving the desert's environment is also beneficial to them. Besides, we can also use this opportunity to communicate more. Who knows, maybe we can slowly form an alliance."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Everything will be decided by the Village Lord. I'm only responsible for the research. After all, the results are the most important. Today's weather is very good, so I'll be leaving. If I don't go back, the elders in the village will be worried."
Fire Phoenix nodded and said, "Alright, then you can go. Remember, if the elders in the village need anything, don't hesitate to tell me. After all, the elders of Sand Tiger Village are also living there. I can't just watch them starve."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he stood up and cupped his fist towards Fire Phoenix. Then he turned around and walked outside. When he was outside, Zhao Hai immediately had someone call Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian. They needed to go back.
Before long, Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian returned. Although they still looked tired, their spirits were much better. Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, "Give me your hand." Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian didn't understand what Zhao Hai wanted to do, but they still obediently gave him their hand.
Zhao Hai took their hand and checked their pulse. Then he nodded and said, "Fortunately, the cold didn't enter your body. You've almost recovered. Once we return to the village, you'll be fine after resting for a while. Let's go."
The two nodded, then they rode their horses and followed Zhao Hai out of Sand Tiger Village. After leaving Sand Tiger Camp, they headed towards the old man's camp. It didn't take long for them to see the tall Bottle Trees. These Bottle Trees were already full of water. Each one of them looked very sturdy, just like a giant bottle. It was very beautiful.
Zhao Hai and the others quickly arrived in front of the Bottle Tree. But when they arrived, Zhao Hai was stunned. This was because he saw a person from Sand Tiger Village standing under the Bottle Tree. He looked very nervous.
Zhao Hai arrived under the Bottle Tree, then he looked at the person and said, "Hey, kid, why are you standing here?"
When the man saw Zhao Hai, he immediately gave him a salute and said, "Replying to Second Chief, the Head ordered us not to let anyone destroy these trees. We're here to keep an eye on them. Along the way, there are people keeping an eye on them."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Alright, you don't need to keep watch. You can go back." After he said that, Zhao Hai waved his hand, and the Bottle Tree turned into a small seed and flew back to Zhao Hai's hand.
When the Sand Tiger saw Zhao Hai put away the Bottle Tree, his expression relaxed. But at the same time, a fanatical look appeared on his face. He gave Zhao Hai a salute and said, "Yes, Second Master. I'll return immediately." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I'll return immediately." Then he didn't wait for Zhao Hai to finish speaking. He got on his horse and galloped towards Sand Tiger Village. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
Zhao Hai was confused as he looked at the person running away. He really didn't know why the person ran away. Zhao Hai still couldn't understand the desire of these people who were born and raised in the desert for water. For the people of the desert, water was very precious. Now that Zhao Hai could use the Bottle Tree to store water, he could also turn the Bottle Tree into seeds. This was a very good thing. How could the person not be excited? In the person's eyes, Zhao Hai was like a god. Moreover, he wanted to tell this news to the people of Sand Tiger Village.
Zhao Hai didn't know what the person was thinking. He kept moving forward and turning the Bottle Tree into seeds. At the same time, he also let the people who were watching the Bottle Tree go back to Sand Tiger Village.
Halfway through his journey, Zhao Hai saw the Scholar. The Scholar was sitting under a Bottle Tree with a book in his hand. However, he wasn't reading. It was clear that he already knew that Zhao Hai was coming. He was now standing there waiting for Zhao Hai.
When Zhao Hai saw the Scholar, he smiled faintly and cupped his fist as he said, "Scholar, you're here. Alright, I'll immediately take the Bottle Tree. You should go back. You've been guarding the village for more than a day. It must be hard on you."
The scholar smiled and said, "Not at all. To be honest, I'm really happy to be able to see these Bottle Trees. This is the hope of Great Desert. Second Leader, please accept my bow. I hope that in the future, there will be more Bottle Trees in Great Desert and that the desert will change."
When Zhao Hai heard the Scholar, he smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I will. I'll do my best. Go back, there are still a lot of things to do in the village." The Scholar nodded, then he cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai. Then he turned around and mounted his horse before heading back to Sand Tiger Village.
Zhao Hai looked at the Scholar's back and smiled. Then he went back. Although they were still in a hurry, they were a lot more relaxed. If they were thirsty, they could find a place to drink. If they were hungry, they could rest under the Bottle Tree and eat. They weren't in as much of a hurry as they were before.
It took a few days for the three of them to return to the old man's village. Before they even entered the village, Zhao Hai saw a lot of people standing in front of the village. This made Zhao Hai stare. Zhao Hai quickly rode his horse and rushed over. When he saw that the people standing in front of the village were none other than the elders of the village.
These elders looked at Zhao Hai with worried expressions. When they saw that Zhao Hai had returned, their expressions relaxed. Then Old Chen cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Village Lord, you're back. We were all very worried about you. The rain in the desert is too frightening. Every year, people die in the rain. You shouldn't take such risks in the future."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I've made you worry. You don't need to worry, I know what I'm doing. This time, I just wanted to collect some rainwater. There won't be any problems. Alright, everyone, go back and rest. I'll go collect the Bottle Tree." After saying that, Zhao Hai jumped off his horse and followed the elders back to the village. While walking, Zhao Hai turned to Old Chen and said, "Old Chen, is the village alright? The rain this time wasn't small. Did anything happen to the village? "
Old Chen shook his head and said, "Village Lord, you can rest assured. Every year, we would encounter this kind of storm several times. We're already used to it. Also, we're close to the river, so the rainwater would flow into the river. There won't be any problems, you don't need to worry."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "It's good that you're fine. You can go back and rest. I'll take the Bottle Tree back, then I'll take a look at the grasses that I planted. I don't know if they've grown yet. If they do, then that would be great."
When Old Chen heard Zhao Hai, he quickly replied, "Village Lord, you can rest assured. The grass has grown. Although it hasn't fully grown yet, it's growing very well. We've been watching it for the past few days."
When Zhao Hai heard Old Chen, he was very happy. He immediately said, "Alright, it's good that it's grown. I'll go take a look." After saying that, Zhao Hai collected the Bottle Tree in the village. Then he went outside the village and headed towards the edge of the desert.
When he arrived at the edge of the desert, Zhao Hai could see a layer of green in the distance. This green was very light, and the grass wasn't very tall. However, Zhao Hai was still very happy. This was because this meant that the grass that he cultivated had finally come back to life. Now, he wanted to see how long the grass could last after the rainy season. The longer the grass could last, the more resistant it would be to drought resistance. This also meant that his research would be more successful.
