Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 73: The War Tree Reappears! (Thanks to the Star Oracle for the reward)
Although the red fruit tree was discovered unexpectedly, the tomatoes needed for tomorrow have not yet been sourced.

However, all the energy in Li Mu's body has been consumed. He can only seize the time to practice and make plans after his energy is restored.

After returning to the bedroom and washing up simply, Li Mu came to the dragon blood tree and began to practice breathing techniques.

In the past few days, in order to quickly restore the energy in his body, Li Mu has absorbed two-thirds of the energy stored in the dragon blood tree.

In order for the dragon blood tree to continue to grow healthily, Li Mu does not plan to absorb the remaining source energy.

Fortunately, the dragon blood tree and Polygonum multiflorum can gather the free energy between heaven and earth, making the energy content in Li Mu's bedroom higher. In this way, even if he does not absorb the energy in their bodies, Li Mu's cultivation speed can be improved.

Five hours later, Li Mu had recovered 80% of his energy.

It was already four o'clock in the morning and Li Mu came to the laboratory again.

However, he was not in a hurry to induce the growth of tomatoes. Instead, he wanted to verify his hypothesis first.

Placing his hands on the red fruit tree, Li Mu injected source energy again. After consuming nearly one percent of the source energy, a new red fruit grew on the tree again.

"As expected, the growth of the Vermillion Fruit requires a large amount of energy, which is different from the normal modified plants."

Li Mu muttered to himself, seemingly not surprised by this discovery.

This is because he had guessed before that if the source energy required to produce the red fruit was the same as that required to produce ordinary transformed plants, it would be too unreasonable.

In this case, there is no time to conduct a third experiment, so we can only continue to promote the growth of cherry tomatoes.

After spending more than an hour, Li Mu successfully produced a large number of cherry tomatoes that could keep warm. He didn't count exactly how many there were, but the total amount should be more than two thousand.

“Fortunately, these plants only consume more source energy during their first transformation.

Later, when I have the seeds of these plants, the energy consumed when inducing their growth will only be slightly more than that of ordinary plants. Otherwise, the energy in my body would not be enough."

After expressing his emotion, Li Mu used vines to weave a huge basket and put all the cherry tomatoes into it.

Then he controlled the vines and carried the basket full of cherry tomatoes, and walked slowly to the restaurant on the first floor.

At this time, Yao Chengcheng and Yu Shuaikang were already eating breakfast at the table. Seeing Li Mu carrying a large basket, they asked curiously,

"What's in here?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said,

"The fever tomato made from cherry tomatoes has a higher temperature than before, but it only lasts twelve minutes."

Yao Chengcheng frowned when he heard this and asked,

"Only twelve minutes. Isn't that a bit too short?"

"I can't help it. It's too late to transform it into a better one. But there are a lot of them. I can eat three or five at a time, which is enough."

After answering Yao Chengcheng's questions, Li Mu gently put the basket on the ground and went to the dining table to eat breakfast.

"How are you going to transport those people? Make a giant sled?"

Yu Shuaikang asked.

"I have my own way. You will know it soon." Li Mu did not answer, but kept it in suspense with a smile.

Seeing this, the two did not continue to ask questions, but started eating in silence.

After the three of them finished their meal, they brought the cherry tomatoes to the city gate, where twenty members of the hunting team were already waiting.

Some of them held swords in their hands, some carried bows and arrows, and some had a few short spears stuck behind their backs. Without exception, all of them were armed.

Li Mu looked up and his eyes swept across the crowded crowd, and instantly caught sight of two familiar figures - they were Fu Zikui and Zhang Tiankuo. As for the others, Li Mu did not know them.

The two of them stood at the front of the team, keeping a certain distance from the others, showing their outstanding strength.

Li Mu strode to the front of the team, glanced at everyone, and said in a firm tone: "Your mission today is to ensure the safety of the survivors during the transfer. If they encounter danger, you must be the first to rush to them."

After a brief silence, he added with a sharp gaze and domineering tone:
"With me here today, nothing will happen to any of you!"

In the hunting team, everyone heard this and raised their right hands and hit their chests three times.
Team leaders Fu Zikui and Zhang Tiankuo swore in unison: "We will defend the city lord to the death!"

Then the rest of the people responded loudly.

Li Mu witnessed this scene and couldn't help but smile.

It seems that Yao Chengcheng has done a lot of publicity to the outside world, otherwise his appearances were limited and he would not have left such a high reputation in these people's hearts.

After the declaration, Li Mu walked straight to the giant tree that had been standing at the city gate. He placed his hands on the tree trunk, injected a stream of energy, and called out softly:
"Wake up, old man!"

As his voice fell, the tree that had been still began to tremble violently, and the branches seemed to come to life and began to twist and turn.

A few seconds later, several huge branches on both sides of the giant tree twisted and entangled, turning into a pair of giant hands.

Then, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly opened at the bottom of the tree canopy, followed by a beard like tree roots and a bloody mouth.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar sounded, like the collapse of the sky and the earth, shocking everyone.

With this roar, the roots of the giant tree that were originally buried deep underground broke out of the ground, quickly entwined, and gradually condensed into two thick round roots, like a pair of giant feet, supporting this huge force.

At this moment, at the front of the hunting team, Fu Zikui turned to Zhang Tiankuo with a fanatical look, unable to conceal his excitement:
"I've heard from the elders of Wanling City that the big tree at the city gate is actually an extremely powerful tree man created by the city lord. Today I finally have the honor of seeing it!"

Zhang Tiankuo also couldn't hide his excitement and clenched his hands into fists.

Li Mu stood under the tree man that was more than 20 meters tall. His figure of less than two meters seemed quite small, but no one present dared to doubt that there was an extremely powerful force hidden in this body!
"Come on up, we're going to the shelter to pick up people today by riding the War Tree."

While Li Mu was giving instructions to everyone, he skillfully condensed two thick vines and connected them to the tree man's crown.

Then, he held the cherry tomatoes in one hand and tightly grasped the vine with the other hand. He pulled hard, stepped over the tree man's head in a few steps, and then hung the cherry tomatoes on a branch nearby.

Hearing Li Mu's words, Yu Shuaikang and Yao Chengcheng immediately quickened their pace, came under the tree man, climbed up along the vines, and with just a few movements, they stood on top of the tree man, and then stood beside Li Mu on the left and right.

The others looked at each other, and without hesitation, they followed the three people's method and successfully climbed to the top of the tree man, and each stood in the vacant position.
