According to Xu Xin's ability to identify, both banyan trees are emitting blue light.
It's blue grade!
These two banyan trees both grow in blue-grade soil, which are the only two pieces of blue-grade soil in this lakeside scene. The rest of the soil is green-grade, with no white-grade soil.
The sizes of these two banyan trees are basically the same as the two-story blue-level tree house before the number of floors was increased. The tree crowns are dense and about seven meters from the ground, with many roots.
It really looks like a tree house.
Xu Xin immediately walked to a banyan tree and reached out to touch its trunk.
Banyan Tree (Blue): A special type of tree that can be cut down to obtain wood. Although it looks like a very ordinary banyan tree, as long as there is a tree house within a hundred meters around it, it can coexist with the tree house!
It’s not a tree house, but the introduction of this banyan tree is anything but ordinary!
Special types of trees coexist with tree houses within a 100-meter radius!
Xu Xin's eyes widened.
The last time I saw the word symbiosis, it was in plant heart!
Symbiosis is not parasitism! By focusing on the plant's heart, the tree house can be provided with a very strong self-defense capability. Both parties benefit from it!
Unexpectedly, the two banyan trees they suddenly discovered could actually coexist with the tree house.
Moreover, Xu Xin is quite sensitive to the words "special types of trees".
The first time he saw these words was in the introduction of the Blue-Level Iron Axe, which said that the Blue-Level Iron Axe could be used to cut down some special types of trees.
Then he discovered that the tree house was a species of this special type of tree.
Now, this banyan tree is also. Although it is not a tree house, it belongs to the same species as the tree house, and it is also a special type of tree. It can only be chopped down with an iron axe above blue level!
Exactly the same properties as a tree house!
Xu Xin couldn't help wondering, if this banyan tree that looks like a tree house is planted next to the tree house, what kind of miraculous effect will it have? Have they found another accessory for the tree house
Will it give the tree house a powerful ability like a plant heart
Ji Chaoyang also touched the trunk of the banyan tree. After seeing the introduction, his solemn expression eased a little: "It seems that it is just an ordinary banyan tree, not a tree house."
Ji Chaoyang looked up at the lush banyan tree and said, "However, I always feel that this banyan tree has a certain relationship with the tree house. Maybe we should dig out its seeds."
He was not as surprised as Xu Xin. He had no ability to distinguish, and his introduction probably did not hint at the relationship between the banyan tree and the tree house.
However, he still realized that this banyan tree might be related to the tree house.
"It is indeed related to the tree house." Xu Xin looked at the banyan tree.
"... Oh, with your ability to identify, you can see the detailed introduction, what is the relationship?" Ji Chaoyang was slightly startled by Xu Xin's affirmative tone, and then he immediately understood.
"I can get a more detailed introduction, which tells me that if this kind of tree grows within a hundred meters of a tree house, it can coexist with the tree house." Xu Xin replied.
The crown of this banyan tree is very dense, but he can still see what's inside through the small gaps in the crown.
There are no rooms in the tree house under the canopy, but rather tree branches growing on it, making it look like just an ordinary lush banyan tree.
"Symbiosis? Within a hundred meters?" Ji Chaoyang turned his head and looked at him. He also associated these two words with the heart of a plant. "How can symbiosis help the tree house acquire new functions? Do you know this?"
"I don't know." Xu Xin shook his head. "It's just that it can coexist with the tree house. But, we can speculate."
The scene of planting this kind of banyan tree next to the tree house emerged in Xu Xin's mind.
If two banyan trees with dense crowns were connected together...
Ji Chaoyang was silent for a few seconds and said, "Expand the area inside the tree house?"
Xu Xin nodded slowly: "...It's really possible."
They both thought it was very likely.
The crown of their banyan tree has never grown horizontally. Not even once.
Under normal circumstances, banyan trees can grow to cover a large area.
But since they planted the tree house, the projected area of the tree house's canopy has never changed, it has only been raised once.
The green-level tree house has always been around 25 square meters, the blue-level one is 50 square meters, and the purple-level tree house he and Ji Chaoyang own is 100 square meters. Even if the tree house is upgraded, it only strengthens the protected area, that is, the roots, while the size of the crown and the area inside the tree house have never changed.
Therefore, for most people, the space inside the tree house is not enough, especially for planting. If you want to plant in the tree house, the area is too small, and the single-story tree house is too short, so you can't plant freely, and you can only plant part of it outside the tree house.
Now that the weather is getting colder, only a small area outside the tree house can be planted. Moreover, winter is coming soon. After the arrival of ice and snow, it may not be possible to plant even outside the tree house. In this way, indoor planting becomes particularly important.
It would be great if this banyan tree could really expand the interior area of the tree house.
"How about one for each of us?" Xu Xin said, pointing at the two banyan trees.
They naturally couldn't transplant such a large, fully grown banyan tree. Even if they could fit it into their backpacks, it would only be one-tenth of the weight, and they still couldn't carry it.
They could only cut down the trees and dig up the seeds. Two banyan trees meant two seeds, just one for each person.
"I have no objection." Ji Chaoyang nodded, "Let's take a look at other resources first, and do this kind of thing last. This place is very strange, and if we move too much, there may be special circumstances."
Ji Chaoyang was right, and Xu Xin thought so too.
He glanced at the orb fragment placed in the crack of the stone wall. Everything here might be thanks to that thing.
It seems that the thing can be taken away, but let's wait and see. If that thing is moved, something bad is most likely to happen.
Xu Xin looked down at the colorful flowers on the ground, squatted down, and gently picked one.
Colorful Flower (Green): A beautiful flower that can be planted in a tree house to improve the decoration of the tree house. The flowering period is seven days, and it withers after seven days. Pick it when it is ripe, and the decoration increase will be halved, but it can maintain its blooming posture permanently.
"Wow, this is good stuff!" Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
For someone like him who has a big demand for decoration, anything that can add decoration is a good thing. His art room and alchemy room are still crying out for supplies.
He glanced at the entire field of colorful flowers by the lake.
"Well, let's pick them all and dig them away." Xu Xin said to himself, touching his chin.
Although the amount of decoration that this kind of flower can provide to each tree house may be limited, and he can also create decorations himself, the more the better.
The more the better!
Moreover, this flower gives them the possibility to provide decoration to other survivors.
In their art room, they need to do their own carving and creation. Although the upper limit of decoration can be greatly increased, the current speed is simply not enough for mass production. Even other explorers cannot enjoy it, let alone other survivors.
But there is no problem at all for flowers that are grown by planting. After all, it will not consume their energy. They can just plant them in the planting house and let them grow.
“Here’s a tip for me. This flower can also be used to make paint, making each painted oil painting more decorative.” Ji Chaoyang also squatted down and picked a flower, saying with some surprise.
One of Ji Chaoyang's artist abilities, oil painting, requires pigments, which he had already told Xu Xin about before.
"This is a good thing, too. Take it with you when you leave."
Xu Xin has decided to dig the land and take away all the flowers and trees that can be taken away!
They are really good stuff.
He even reached out to pull out a few blades of grass, but unfortunately these grasses were not considered to be any resources.
However, the best thing is still the piece of gem fragment!
Xu Xin looked at the piece of gem fragment that was emitting soft white light and narrowed his eyes.
"Hmm." Coco stood beside Xu Xin's legs, scratched his legs with her two little paws, and then pointed in the direction of the waterfall.
"What's wrong, Coco?" Xu Xin came back to his senses, looked in the direction Coco pointed, and asked with some confusion, "Is there something wrong with that little waterfall?"
The waterfall gushed out from an almost horizontal crack in the wall, forming a not-so-large white curtain of water.
With the sound of water splashing into the lake, the fish swimming in the lake, and the soft white light reflected by the gently shaking water surface, the whole lake is like a fairy lake in Taoyuan Wonderland, making people feel extremely comfortable.
Xu Xin even had the thought, “It would be great if I could live here.”
"嘤!" Coco waved her little paws and gestured to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin understood what Coco meant, his expression stiffened, and he turned around to look at the small waterfall carefully.
"… You mean, there is a hidden space behind the waterfall?"
"Hmm!" Coco nodded her little head.
Because of the irregular fall of the water, the entire waterfall appears white, completely blocking the view, and the scene behind the water curtain cannot be seen. In addition, this small waterfall is not very big, so Xu Xin did not think about it in this regard.
I didn’t expect that this was actually a water curtain cave
Is there some treasure in the cave
However, the area ahead was completely occupied by the lake, so if you wanted to get across, you had to swim in the water.
"The space behind the waterfall? The Water Curtain Cave?" Ji Chaoyang also looked at the waterfall. He opened his eyes wide and was a little surprised. "This is the back of the giant's head, right?"
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded.
The space behind the waterfall may well contain the secret of the giant's head.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Go check it out. They both mean the same thing.
They both jumped into the lake and swam towards that side.
"嘤!" Coco jumped directly onto the Silver King's head.
"Oh?"
“Oh my!”
“Ouch!”
After the two streams flowed for a while, Silver King also jumped into the lake and swam towards the small waterfall.
Because the Silver King keeps its head out of the water when it swims, Coco didn't get wet when she lay on its head.
At this time, Xu Xin had already swam to the bottom of the lake.
The bottom of this lake is almost ten meters deep, which is very deep for ordinary people, but Xu Xin, who is wearing a scale armor suit and has many diving experiences, can easily dive to the bottom of the lake.
The reason he dived down was because he discovered that in addition to many fish swimming in the lake, there were also many crystals at the bottom of the lake!
There were crystals of various colors, including red crystal, amethyst, etc. As soon as he got into the lake, he was surprised by the colorful stones at the bottom of the lake.
The most important thing is that a small part of these stones emits blue-grade light, and one piece even emits purple light!
Purple crystal!
As for the purple-level stuff, it’s better to put it away first!
He immediately went down to the bottom of the lake, went straight to the purple-level crystal, and fished it out. He also put some of the surrounding blue-level crystals into his backpack, then floated up again and emerged from the water.
Ji Chaoyang disappeared, he should have entered the waterfall.
Xu Xin also reached out to the waterfall.
