On a vast piece of land, more than a dozen trees rose from the ground. They were at least seven to eight meters tall, and it would take three people to wrap their arms around them. In just a few seconds, a seed had turned into a towering tree. This was a miracle in and of itself.
What was even more shocking was that the tree trunk trembled. Then, one root after another was uprooted from the ground. Then, the branches fell in the middle, forming two thick arms. Just like a human, they actually had the ability to walk.
"My Lord, this is the result of my research. Tree spirits!" A middle-aged man with dry skin and tattered clothes told Chen Feng as if he was presenting a treasure.
This person was covered in mud and looked like an old farmer, but in Order, he was an important figure. The reason why the members of Order didn't starve was mostly due to him.
Truman.
This person was the manager of the Ministry of Agriculture under Chen Feng. During peaceful times, he had been fond of fiddling with plants. After his awakening, he had coincidentally grasped the ability to control plants. After pledging his loyalty to Chen Feng, he no longer had any worries and focused all his attention on his research.
He had mutated more than ten types of crops. Even if his combat ability was not strong, his value had long surpassed that of an ordinary Gold ranker!
"Truman, you actually used the sap of ancient trees to cultivate tree spirits. I … I really don't know what to say about you …"
If he had not seen all this with his own eyes, Chen Feng would have been suspicious.
Previously, in order to increase Order's defense, Erwin had brought back a few Ancient War Trees from the Abyss. These ancient trees had been watered by the Spring of Life since young and had strong vitality. They had even become a tree spirit, a unique life form.
Under normal circumstances, these ancient trees would only take root in the ground. Their roots were no different from that of a large tree. However, once they encountered danger or enemies, they would stand up from the ground and throw stones at the enemy. This was a troop class with long-range attacks!
The Ancient War Trees could only be cultivated by the elves. Such a high-level lifeform had never appeared in the human world. After seeing these mutants, Damon's passion for plants boiled again. He used some unknown method to obtain some of the Ancient War Tree's sap.
At this time, these trees that rose from the ground could be said to be the children of the Ancient War Trees. However, they did not have consciousness or the ability to think. Like puppets, they only knew to follow their master's orders to complete the task.
But even so, it did not affect their value at all. These Tree Spirits were not like humans. They did not know fatigue or hunger at all. As long as they were given an order, they would drag their bodies to complete it. Moreover, each of them had infinite strength. Their workload day and night was even more efficient than thousands of humans!
Currently, there were many things waiting to be done in the Gorge Gate. Due to the frequent fights, there were damaged buildings everywhere. Under such circumstances, these tree spirits were simply the most competent helpers!
The number was still too small. If hundreds of Dryads appeared at once, the entire Gorge Gate would be completely transformed in a month or so, sweeping away all the effects brought about by the apocalypse.
However, Chen Feng also knew that if he wanted to create so many Tree Spirits, he would definitely need more sap from the Ancient of War Tree. When that time came, the Ancient of War Tree would most likely be sucked to death, which would not be worth it.
If he kept the Ancient of War Tree, as long as he rested a little, he could continuously create Tree Spirits. Although it would take a little longer, fortunately, there were no side effects.
"This method is simply unprecedented. With the help of these monsters, it won't take long for this wasteland to be reclaimed. I just don't know if the effect of planting is really as magical as what Sir said?" Lin Tianxiu stood aside and looked at these Tree Spirits that rose from the ground. She could not help but reveal a look of surprise.
After her soul was collected by Chen Feng, Lin Tianxiu could be considered to have changed sides. When she did things, she did not hide anything at all. Instead, she cleaned up her subordinates from the beginning and executed all those with evil intentions.
Chen Feng knew that the other party was like a gecko cutting off its tail. She was using the blood of these people to make a clean break with the past. These people were all his trusted subordinates. In the past, they had done many dirty things for him. But now, as Lin Tianxiu executed them all, it also indicated that everything in the past had nothing to do with him.
This old man was not benevolent at all. He was simply a devil. In order to protect himself, he even killed his trusted subordinates!
Otherwise, he would have controlled the other party's soul and knew that the other party would not betray him at all. Otherwise, he would really have to guard against the other party stabbing him in the back at all times.
These people who had done these dirty things for Lin Tianxiu had their hands stained with blood. Chen Feng would not be so bored as to uphold justice for a few thugs. What's more, he also knew that Lin Tianxiu did these things to show her loyalty to him. Now, in the Gorge Gate, he was already alone. Except for himself, he had no foundation at all.
Su Tan was still a little too inexperienced compared to this old fox. From the beginning to the end, she had never mentioned her loyalty. However, Chen Feng already controlled 90% of the people and power in the Gorge Gate. Whether Su Tan joined him or not, it had no effect on him at all.
Seeing these tree spirits in front of her, Lin Tianxiu's heart was full of shock. She only felt that Chen Feng's subordinates were full of talents. In addition to those terrifying helpers in battle, even in agriculture, there were such outstanding talents.
Chen Feng nodded and pointed to the tree spirits and said, "With the help of these tree spirits, the time spent on farming will be greatly reduced. As for the yield, you can rest assured. Now that there is a shortage of food, I have decided to mainly plant potatoes, which have the highest yield. Du Men has improved these foods. Although the taste is slightly worse, the yield has increased by at least five times!"
Bad taste?
Lin Tianxiu was not concerned about this at all. He was also one of the masterminds behind the use of cockroaches to make food in the city. No matter how bad the taste was, how could it be worse than insect jelly?
For Lin Tianxiu, what she paid more attention to was Chen Feng's last sentence. The yield had increased by five times. That was to say, one mu of land was very likely to grow thousands of pounds of potatoes?
Food was the most important thing for the people.
Once mass produced, this potato alone could feed all the survivors in the city. At that time, the insect jelly factory could also be closed. There was no need to worry about someone discovering it and causing adverse effects to the upper class!
