Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 183: Parasitic tree house

Views:

Xu Xin immediately took out his shovel (blue) and started digging at the roots of the tree house.

When he dug a tree with the shovel, he could clearly feel the feeling of digging and collecting, which was different from ordinary digging.

"There's hope!" Xu Xin was delighted and continued to swing the shovel to dig.

Seeing this, Silver King stepped forward and wanted to help, but was stopped by Xu Xin. Although it was not known whether digging the tree house would produce seeds, if there were, only a shovel could guarantee that the seeds would be dug out.

Digging with one shovel at a time, although I could feel the collection every time, the process was very long.

In the past, digging those poplar fruit trees only took one or two or three hits to knock them down. This tree house is just a low green-level tree house, and it is already dead. I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to dig.

It can’t be impossible to dig it out, right

Xu Xin did not stop what he was doing and continued digging.

After digging for nearly half an hour, the roots of the tree house were exposed. When he felt that he could no longer dig up seeds from the tree house and wanted to give up, he finally heard a slight breaking sound from the tree roots.

Tiny cracks appeared at the roots and gradually became more obvious. Then, the half of the broken tree trunk above the ground shook slightly and was about to fall.

Xu Xin reached out and gave a gentle push, and the broken tree trunk along with the broken roots were uprooted, fell to the ground with a loud bang, and raised a cloud of dust.

In the pit where the trunk was originally located, a pale yellow walnut-sized seed lay quietly in it. It was almost the same color as the surrounding soil and was quite inconspicuous.

Xu Xin was very familiar with seeds of this size and color. When he first came to this world, he walked around with seeds of this type for two days before planting them!

"There really is a tree house seed!" Xu Xin was overjoyed and immediately picked up the seed from the pit.

Parasitic Tree House Seeds: Seeds obtained by digging up a normal tree house, which can be used to grow a parasitic tree house.

Parasitic tree houses do not have a tree house core and require the host to provide them with nutrients and tree house capabilities. They can only be planted within the protection zone of a normal tree house, and their roots are connected to the host's roots.

The shape of the tree house grown from this seed has nothing to do with the fertility of the soil, but only depends on the original shape of the tree house before it was dug up.

"… This, isn't that the tree house seed from before?" Xu Xin looked at the introduction and his eyes widened a little, "Parasitic tree house seeds?"

The core of the tree house is the white gem he just obtained, which can provide growth energy for the tree house.

But the tree house that can be grown from the seed in his hand has no core, and can only be planted within the tree house protection area. It parasitizes on the roots of other tree houses and survives by absorbing nutrients from other tree houses.

… He was also thinking whether he could mass-produce tree house cores by planting tree houses and then cutting them down. It seems that he was overthinking it.

This seed is not like the previous tree house seeds. If planted in soil of different fertility levels, it will grow into tree houses of different levels.

Xu Xin recalled the broken two-story tree house that had just been shattered.

That is to say, if he plants the seed within his protected area, no matter what grade of soil it is, it will eventually grow into the two-story tree house.

"Isn't this the equivalent of transplanting the tree house directly?"

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes, he realized the meaning behind this function.

If all tree houses can dig out seeds, then digging up the seeds from other people's tree houses and planting them within one's own protected area would be equivalent to forming an organization centered on him, wouldn't it

However, he is still unclear about the relationship between the parasitic tree house and the host tree house. Perhaps the host can completely control the parasitic tree house, or perhaps the host must provide something to the parasitic tree house.

He decided to go back and plant the tree house seed near his tree house and analyze the situation.

The tree trunks on the ground should not be wasted either.

Taking out the iron axe, he chopped at the trunk of the tree house.

Unfortunately, there is nothing special about the trunk. Because this tree house is a low tree house (green), the material cut out is ordinary green-grade wood.

By the way, if we cut down his own tree house, we should be able to get purple-grade wood...

There must be a tree house core in his tree house. The tree house core obtained this time is called the core of the low tree house, then his should be called the core of the tall tree house, and the functions must be different.

He didn't have the means to cut down his own tree house, but if he came across someone else's tree house in the future...

… High-level resources can really make people have evil thoughts. But in this world, this is not considered an evil thought.

If you don't belong to the same camp, it will just be the survival of the fittest.

"Mimi!" Xu Xin called out, and a few seconds later, Mimi, who was originally walking around, jumped out of the jungle and stepped lightly and silently beside him.

"Let's go back."

There was nothing left here, so he decided to go back and study the two special resources he had obtained this time, the tree house core and the parasitic tree house seeds.

Riding on the Silver King, the man and four beasts began to rush back.

It has returned to the tree house reserve.

While Silver King was running, a reminder tone sounded in Xu Xin's ears again.

Although we were outside the protected area during the journey just now, we were not attacked.

It seems that, as the introduction says, even though the tree house is dead and its seeds have been dug out, its roots are still threatening underground creatures.

However, if there is no special situation, it is better not to come to this area. The protected area here is actually like a scarecrow in a wheat field. It can only serve as a deterrent. Once the underground creatures find out, they will still swarm in.

In the first treasure chest event, those underground creatures must have been forced to come out from underground. If this happens again in the future, and the underground creatures that are forced out find that they will not die after coming to the surface, then this area will no longer be safe.

The Silver King was very fast. In less than ten minutes, Xu Xin had returned to his tree house. He sent the beasts back to the tree house and prepared to go down first to find a suitable place to plant the tree house.

"嘤!" Seeing that Xu Xin was about to go out again, Ke jumped directly onto his shoulders.

Xu Xin touched its little head and took it out.

"Where should I plant this seed..." A map appeared in Xu Xin's mind.

There was still too little information at the moment, and he didn't know what the function of this parasitic tree house was, or how it differed from an ordinary tree house. But since they were both tree houses, it would be better to get closer.

Finally, he decided to plant the tree house at the edge of the protection range of his plant heart. In this way, the parasitic tree house can be protected by the plant heart and used as a sentry tower.

Arriving at a location nearly a hundred meters away from the tree house, Xu Xin planted the seed.

Because the parasitic tree house obtains nutrients from the roots of the host tree house and has nothing to do with the soil, he did not use blue-level soil, but planted it on a piece of ordinary soil.

The moment it was planted, a tender sprout broke through the soil and began to grow at an extremely fast speed.

This speed is countless times faster than when Xu Xin planted his tree house!

"Ah!" Coco, who was lying on the ground and observing very closely, was almost poked by the rapidly growing tree house seedlings. After two or three jumps, she jumped back onto Xu Xin's shoulder and grinned at the seedlings on the ground.

"So fast!" Xu Xin was also shocked. In just a few seconds, the seed had grown into a small tree.

His tree house took two hours to build, but this one probably only takes a few minutes

Xu Xin touched the small tree that had grown to the thickness of his arm.

Low Parasitic Tree House Seedling (Green): Takes another 4 minutes and 43 seconds to grow into a Tree House.

Five minutes! So fast!

Xu Xin took a few steps back, rubbing Coco's big furry tail while observing the growth of the tree house.

Five minutes later, a low two-story tree house appeared completely before his eyes.

The lowest point of the tree canopy was only three meters high, and the highest point was only ten meters high, not even as high as the trunk of his own tree house.

He reached out and touched the tree house that had grown.

Low parasitic tree house (green): a tree house without a tree house core, now parasitizing on a tall tree house (purple). Because it parasitizes on the roots of the host and does not have a strong root system, the parasitic tree house does not have its own protection zone.

Parasitic tree houses cannot be transplanted, but as long as the host is alive, they can regenerate within a period of time even if they are cut down. Once the host dies, the parasitic tree house will die with it.

… This kind of tree house can regenerate infinitely as long as the host is not dead!

This has great strategic significance! Xu Xin's brain began to work rapidly.

If many tree houses are transplanted into his protected area in this way, they can form an extremely powerful team. Once a disaster or war occurs, as long as his tree house is not destroyed, all the tree houses parasitic in his protected area will regenerate after a period of time and return to their original appearance!

Automated disaster recovery!

Xu Xin looked at the newly grown tree house.

Under this tree house, he could feel the feeling of being integrated with the tree house, just like when he was under his own tree house. With a thought, the roots of the tree house wrapped around his waist and brought him and Coco into the tree house.

The first floor of the tree house was empty. The area of more than 20 square meters was still too small in Xu Xin's opinion. There was only a screen embedded in the wooden outer wall of the tree house. The screen was black and not turned on.

He walked forward and touched the screen, which instantly lit up.

Parasitic tree house host starts

The current owner of the tree house is Xu Xin. If you need to change the owner, you need to operate in the host tree house.

Currently all functions are locked and need to be unlocked in the host tree house.

The three prompt sounds made Xu Xin's eyes brighter and brighter.

It seems that as the owner of the host tree house, he has supreme control over these parasitic tree houses!

The owner of the tree house can be replaced. If he changes the owner of the tree house to another person, that person can manipulate the roots of the tree house to enter and exit the tree house at will, and can also use the power of the tree house to make things, etc.

The ability of this tree house also requires him to manipulate the host tree house, that is, the screen in his tree house to unlock it.

But he doesn't need to go back to the tree house because he has a purple-level tree house watch, which has all the abilities of the tree house.

He swiped his watch open and it showed the virtual main business. He saw a new main option appeared on it.
