A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 30: Reactive Wood and the Heart of Enlightenment
The dryad's "arm" is made up of multiple branches entwined together. It is more than ten meters long, so it looks very thin, but it is actually as thick as a wine barrel.
Huh——
The dryad's right arm cut through the air and pointed directly at Hua Mi.
If Hua Mi wants to control the bee swarm, she can’t stay too far away.
At least it should be visible to the naked eye.
Otherwise the conscious connection will continue to weaken until it is completely broken.
"I'm afraid I'll be bruised for many days if I get whipped."
Hua Mi joked to herself, which relieved her tension.
Immediately, I concentrated my attention and controlled some of the ring-cut bees to come out of the queue, connecting them end to end to form a chain of bees and fly towards the tree demon.
"No one can stop me from collecting honey."
Four times the flying speed of an ordinary bee, it only took a second or two to fly to the tree demon's right arm.
Then it spiraled around the dryad's right arm and reached the base of the right arm in the blink of an eye.
That is where it is connected to the tree trunk.
The bee chain instantly changes form and circles around to form a bee ring, increasing its speed to the highest level smoothly.
The moment the pincer teeth came into contact with the dryad's right arm, Hua Mi immediately felt that the dryad's "meat" was different from ordinary wood.
To put it simply, it is not that hard and has a bit more toughness.
However, under the sharp chain saw of the ring cutter bee, it is still as easy as cutting bread.
I saw the right arm of the dryad suddenly sinking down, and then with a click, the whole arm broke from the root and fell to the ground, with light green sap splashing.
The dryad swayed and almost lost its balance. It staggered a few steps on its legs and finally stabilized.
It moved only a small part of its right arm. The wooden face seemed a little confused. His intelligence was not enough to judge immediately what kind of attack it had just suffered.
He paused for a few seconds, then stretched out his left arm to grab Hua Mi.
Click——
The left arm also broke and fell off.
This time the dryad finally couldn't hold it any longer and staggered back a few steps, making an unpleasant "creeping" sound.
The tree demon who lost his arms no longer poses any threat to Hua Mi.
Next, it is just a piece of wood that can be slaughtered, no different from the ordinary trees around it that cannot be moved.
"Eat my big owl's head!"
The circling bee swarm rushed towards the tree demon.
The part where the wooden face was located, which Hua Mi thought was its head, slid to the ground with a splash of green liquid.
While still in mid-air, those green eyes flickered and went out completely.
The vitality of the dryad that lost its "head" did not return to zero immediately.
It has one and only one key, and that is the location of the enlightened heart.
Even if other places are destroyed, they will not die. They may even grow back if given enough time.
But Hua Mi obviously didn't intend to give it this time.
Next, when the tree demon lost its eyesight and stopped moving forward, the bee ring was controlled by Hua Mi and cut down layer by layer in a relay manner.
For a while, the green liquid surged wildly, and pieces of activated wood slid down one after another.
When cutting to a certain point in the middle, the tree demon's legs finally weakened and he fell to the ground with a thud, completely lifeless.
It’s just that as soon as this behemoth fell, it killed a large piece of feather flowers.
Hua Mi felt heartbroken when she saw it.
In the distance, Xiao Huang and Xiao Zi looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
"He did it?"
"He did it!"
"This is the first time I have seen such a thing."
The two little guys boasted that they had lived a long time, so they thought they had never seen anything before.
But now they know they were wrong.
I have never seen this scene before.
"That is to say..." Xiao Huang's eyes lit up.
"We can be here..." Xiao Zi's face was full of joy.
"It's time to collect honey!"
The two pseudo-flower spirits cheered and hugged each other happily.
Hua Mi recalled the circumferential bee swarm, patted her forehead, composed herself, and walked towards the remains of the tree demon.
Manipulating a swarm in actual combat requires concentration that cannot be compared to ordinary training.
The energy consumption will be at least two or three times higher, so although the fight just now did not last long, it also made him mentally unsustainable at this time.
Hua Mi walked to the nearest piece of remains and squatted down to observe.
After receiving enlightenment and developing a heart of enlightenment, the tree demon's body is no longer ordinary wood, but so-called active wood.
When you poke it, you can feel a slight elasticity - of course it is far less elastic than animal tissue.
As can be seen from the cross section, there are some light green conduits in the active wood, which are like the blood vessel network in the human body, divided into main tubes and capillaries. The green juice is transmitted everywhere through these conduits.
The green juice exuded a faint smell of grass, and some splashed on the petals of the mantle flower. Hua Mi watched helplessly as the liquid slowly seeped into the petals, and was finally completely absorbed into the petals.
The petals that have absorbed the green liquid appear more delicate and vital to the naked eye. Some flowers that were originally drooping also stood up.
"The green sap of the dryad helps the growth of flowers?"
It's a pity that he didn't bring a container.
Moreover, the sap in the tree trunk has almost drained out, and most of it has flowed into the soil, making it impossible to separate it again.
He couldn't help but think that it would be great if he could keep a tree demon in captivity, so that he could obtain green liquid at any time, which would be of great help to his planting business.
However, he has already seen the cruelty and predatory nature of the tree demon, and it is basically impossible to tame it.
If you really want to obtain a continuous supply of green liquid, it is not completely impossible. You can take tougher measures. Find Shuyuanwww． zhaosｈhuyuａ.com
For example, cut off the hands and feet of the tree demon, and then find a way to fix it so that it cannot move like an ordinary tree. Open an opening in the trunk and insert a sap collector, and you can continuously collect green trees. liquid.
But he just thought about it casually. The actual operation is definitely not that simple.
"These active woods can be collected and taken back with the magic box."
The "Black Forest Adventure Guide" says that reactive wood is a rare wood, but its specific uses are not mentioned.
"Cut the uncut lower part into small pieces later to make it easier to carry. No matter what the use is, it’s always good to take it back and store it first. Maybe it will be used some time."
Hua Mi was making calculations in her mind, and suddenly her attention was attracted by a piece of wood exuding a faint green light.
When I walked over and took a look, I saw that the tubes in this piece of reactive wood were particularly dense. The entire wood showed a light green color. There was a fist-sized luminous fluorite inlaid in the center, and all the tubes were connected to it. .
"It is the heart of enlightenment!"
The two pseudo-flower spirits flew beside him at some point, and they recognized them at a glance. This was the heart of enlightenment that gave the tree demon spiritual intelligence.
"This thing must be very precious, right?"
Hua Mi was moved by the external beauty of Enlightenment Heart.
It's like a shining gem.
"After the tree demon dies, the Enlightenment Heart will gradually lose its light and turn into an ordinary stone after a while, so it has no value."
"That's it."
That's such a shame.
I thought it was something precious.
Hua Mi took out the Heart of Enlightenment and weighed it in his hand. The density was indeed similar to that of ordinary stones.
The only difference is that it emits light.
