Chapter 24 Bully in the Forest
It seems like a giant is approaching step by step.
The bee colony is very sensitive. When affected by the vibration, the worker bees immediately come out to patrol, showing signs of losing control.
Hua Mi hurriedly closed the entrance and put away the magic box.
Follow the sound.
The sight he saw shocked him instinctively at first, but then he thought that this was a magical world, and it made sense.
It was a tree, slowly coming out of the forest and moving towards the lake step by step.
Every step caused the ground to tremble.
You know, the trees in the black forest are generally two or three times taller than ordinary trees on the earth. It is estimated that four people can hug the trunk, and the height is twenty or thirty meters. The weight can be imagined.
Compared with those still trees, its crown is not lush, and some branches are bare.
The tree trunk is covered with walnuts and ravines. Near the crown of the tree, some thinner soft branches are entangled with each other to form a twisted and abstract face, with faint green light emitting from the eyes.
After staring at that "giant face" for a while, Hua Mi felt like she was about to suffer from the Happy Bean Effect.
This is a dryad.
There is a record in the "Black Forest Adventure Guide" that there are 13 dryads counted in the black forest, which is not too many in the entire forest.
The first dryad in this world was the work of a druid.
To put it simply, the enlightenment spell is used on a tree to form a heart of enlightenment in it, and the wood is specially activated, thereby obtaining the most basic mobility and a certain intelligence.
When dryads come into contact with ordinary trees, there is a certain probability that the other party will develop a mind of enlightenment, but the probability is very low, so there are only 13 of them in the huge black forest.
This thing looks bluffing, but in fact the danger level is only level 1.
Dryads are very tall and have high defense.
But it moves slowly and reacts even slower. As long as you don't take the initiative to touch porcelain, it generally won't pose any threat to you.
Dryads formed from different types of trees have different basic attributes, but the differences are generally not big.
It is unknown why the Druid created the Dryad in the first place.
In the words of the "Black Forest Adventure Guide", druids are like this, and normal people cannot understand their brain circuits.
Hua Mi and Qixiao just stayed where they were, watching the tree demon walk towards the lake step by step.
The lower part of the dryad bifurcates to form two "legs", with dense and thick roots entwining up its legs. At first glance, it looks like muscles, and it looks very powerful.
If you take one step forward, the span is actually not short.
It's just that the movements are too slow and stiff, which slows down the overall speed.
The dryad came to a stop by the lake and squatted there, as if it had taken root. Two "arms" made of many branches were plunged into the water.
If I looked at it from the back, I would have thought there was a tree growing by the lake, which looked out of place.
"Is it replenishing water? It should leave soon."
The red-haired pseudo-flower essence said: "Generally speaking, if the tree demon chooses to take root in a certain place, it will not leave in a short time. Sometimes it will even stay for months. In one place."
Years and months...
You must know that the honey flow period of a kind of flower will not exceed one month at most, and it can be as short as ten days and a half.
In other words, if it squats here, it may not leave during the entire nectar flow period of the mandarin flower.
"Let's go to the other side of the lake. This place is so big, so we won't interfere with each other." The
red-haired pseudo-flower spirit poured another ladle of cold water on him: "It's hard to say, the dryad has a strong sense of territory."
Hua Mi also remembered. Introduction in the adventure guide:
Dryads generally have a domineering temperament and follow the forest laws of plunder and the law of the jungle.
Just as he was thinking about it, the tree demon suddenly turned its "face" with a squeak, and stared straight at this with a pair of green eyes.
Then, he opened his legs and walked toward them, his posture full of hostility.
"..."
The adventure guide is right, the sense of territoriality is really strong!
"We have to leave!"
Qi Xiaozhi urged.
Hua Mi felt that it was a pity to leave like this. He still felt that this place was so big, and maybe it would be okay if the distance was further away.
So, Hua Mi took the equipment and the seven little animals and ran towards the other side of the lake. Unexpectedly, the tree demon did not give up chasing them because they took the initiative to stay away. As long as it could still see them, it kept approaching them.
There is no way to place a beehive for honey collection like this!
"Too much bullying!"
Finally, Hua Mi was annoyed by being chased, so she stopped and pointed her bow at it, hoping to give it an arrow to relieve its anger.
The tree demon has a certain level of intelligence and can understand this attack preparation action.
As if there was a stress reaction, the speed accelerated a bit, the tree crowns rustled, and the two "arms" stretched forward, and they were suddenly close in front of them!
Hua Mi said "Fuck", decisively put away her bow and arrows, and ran away with the seven little ones.
A sharp archer never lets go easily.
Hua Mi stopped to rest when the tree demon was out of sight.
It was also his unlucky fate. He finally found a honey source, but a tree demon unexpectedly appeared on the way.
If the tree demon really squats there for a long time, it won't take months or even a year. Even if it is ten days and a half, the honey flow period will definitely be delayed.
"Damn Druid, for creating such a difficult guy."
Hua Mi thought for a while and asked the pseudo-flower essences: "Are there any other honey sources?"
The seven little guys gathered around to discuss for a while, and they all Qi shook his head.
"There are still flowers that flow nectar, but there are no such large gathering places." "
Yeah, I understand."
This is why an environment like the forest is actually not suitable for beekeeping. In addition to factors such as rainfall, there are It is difficult to have a sea of flowers for bees to collect.
This kind of environment with large trees is destined to be difficult to form a large gathering place for flowers.
Flowers are generally used here as decoration rather than forming a community.
So Hua Mi really wanted to build a greenhouse.
Once you build a greenhouse, you can bring back the flowers you find while exploring and plant them. You don’t have to worry about the weather. You can adjust the flowering period and nectar flow period of flowers according to the situation.
Plus the magic of fake flower essence can ensure that the flowers will grow quickly.
Only then can you say that your apiary is on the right track.
However, this is a big project.
I can only go back today.
I’ll go to the lake in a few days to have a look.
If the damn tree demon doesn't leave, then he will definitely... draw a circle and curse it fiercely.
As for honey harvesting, the worst case scenario is that it will be suspended.
Anyway, there are still four hundred bottles of honey as a reserve.
The next day, Hua Mi received the proceeds from the 100 bottles of honey, a total of 30,000 yuan, and the platform did not take a commission.
All the 30,000 yuan was received, and I felt a sense of solid happiness.
It’s been a long time since I’ve made so much money at once.
After admiring the balance for a while, he opened the backend of the online store and took a look.
There were dozens more 5-star reviews, and the total rating instantly increased by 0.4.
"It's the first time I slept so sweetly! I came here to give you a good review."
"Good honey, as expected of produced by Huayu Town!"
"Awesome, it cured my years of insomnia!"
"What else are you looking at? Buy it, it helps me sleep. The effect is first-rate and the taste is very good."
"Don't ask, it can be used on sensitive skin too!" "I
bought this for my mother. She has always had trouble sleeping as she gets older. After drinking this honey water, she actually had a good sleep. I woke up and looked much better."
"Oh my God, what kind of high-tech honey is this?"
"Thank you, owner, I would like to call you Honey Man!"
