"Scared!" said the mutant pomegranate tree.

Afraid?

To be honest, when he heard these two words, Li Zhi was a little surprised, theoretically speaking, these two words should not come out of the mouth of this mutant plant, but what the other party said was the truth.

It's nothing else, it's just fear, it's just fear, it's just a mutant plant, it hasn't crossed the threshold of 'emperor' life, it's not that it doesn't want to cross, it's also because it's afraid, it's afraid that it will encounter a thunderstorm and turn into ashes, so it doesn't dare to take that step, so it has been staying here, suppressing its own cultivation, and even transferring the energy in its body to the mutated fruit trees next to it, in order not to break through, not to face the thunderstorm.

No matter how powerful the cultivation is, if it dies, then there will be nothing left, but as long as it doesn't die, what does it matter if the cultivation is lower, it is originally a pomegranate tree, it is a plant that grows in the land and feels the nature of heaven and earth, why let it evolve.

Ever since it had its own mind, or spiritual intelligence, this mutated pomegranate tree has been thinking like this.

It doesn't want to break through, and she doesn't want to become more powerful than anyone else, she just wants to live in the soil and feel the changes of the four seasons, autumn and winter.

It can be said that the reason why there is this mutant orchard here is all because of its merits, it is willing to take out the energy and nutrients in its own body, and provide for the surrounding mutated trees to let them grow, and for this alone, it is very selfless.

Fear, on the other hand, is the nature of all species, and fear is the same as fear, which originates from nature.

Li Zhi felt the mind of this mutant plant, or rather, it was this mutant pomegranate tree that made Li Zhi feel her whole and her heart.

The reason why this is done is to survive, the mutated pomegranate tree wants to survive and does not want to be the prey of others.

Li Zhi sighed, this was not the same as what he imagined, it was not different at all.

He never thought that a mutant plant would have so many ideas, and he couldn't imagine that these ideas were so simple.

It's just to survive, to live for a long time, and they themselves don't want to evolve, they don't want to evolve.

I don't know if it's just the idea of this mutated pomegranate tree, or if all plants will have this idea after they have evolved their intelligence.

"If you had to choose, would you choose to live or stay here. Li Zhi looked at the huge pomegranate tree and asked with a frown.

"Stay here and live!" said the mutant pomegranate tree.

"You can only choose one!" Li Zhi was silent and asked.

"I, I like it here, I don't want to move, it's complicated outside, it's not suitable for me to survive!" the mutant pomegranate tree tried to explain his thoughts.

Li Zhi sighed in his heart, thought for a while and asked, "Then why don't you try to break through, if you become an 'emperor-level' lifeform, maybe your thoughts will change a lot!"

"I'm scared, I'm going to die!" said the mutant pomegranate tree.

is a very pragmatic answer, even if she doesn't become a 'royal' life, as long as no one comes to disturb it, she can still live, and she can live for a long time.

"It's useless!" Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Even if I don't come, one day, others will come, and when the time comes, you still have to choose, whether to evolve, whether to leave, or to be killed by others, the road is often to go by yourself, waiting for nothing to change!"

"I still want to stay here and live in peace without being disturbed by anyone. The mutant pomegranate tree said.

played the piano to the cow, but Li Zhi wanted to say all this.

Li Zhi thought for a while and asked, "How can I let you overcome the fear in your heart and become a king-level creature?" If there is a way, tell me, maybe I can help you!"

The surrounding Blood Bat Dharma King Red Sea, the Ghost Face Queen Zhu Yu'er, the Purple King and even the Six-Winged Demon and the Iron Lady brought by Li Zhi, Donkey Kong all looked at Li Zhi, they didn't hear the words of the mutated pomegranate tree, only Li Zhi's voice.

But they could all feel that Li Zhi was communicating with the mutant plant in front of him, so he didn't step forward to disturb them.

Overcoming fear?

The mutant pomegranate tree thought for a while before shaking his head and said: "I don't know how to overcome it, I don't want to evolve, I don't want to grow, I'm so afraid that I will leave the soil and lose my current living environment, I want to be quiet, I want to listen to the sound of the wind blowing, I want to absorb the moisture in the soil, I want to be quiet and not disturbed by anything, I like to communicate silently with my brothers and sisters next to me, I like to have an environment with a group of plants, I don't want to be alone!"

Li Zhi looked at it and said, "Don't you want to go outside, to see the sunshine, to feel other regions and landscapes? ”

"I'm scared!" the mutant pomegranate tree repeated.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, it seemed that with his eloquence, it was not too easy to convince a mutant pomegranate tree.

After thinking about it, he said: "Actually, I came here for the materials on your body this time, that is, your pole wood, the three fruits I picked just now can be returned to you, but you have to give me some poles, and I will go back to make materials, is it okay?"

"It hurts, I don't want to!" said the mutant pomegranate tree.

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "If you give it to me voluntarily, then I can not let the people next to me do it, you should also feel it, they are all emperor-level evolutionary lifeforms, so many people want to kill you, it shouldn't be very difficult."

If you don't give it to me, I will let them do it and kill you, and after you die, all the materials on your body will be mine. ”

After a moment of silence, the mutant pomegranate tree said, "If I give you some struts, will you retreat and not come to disturb me?"

"Yes!" Li Zhi nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: "Of course, the premise is that when we enter this mutated orchard to pick fruits in the future, you can't attack our people anymore, and you stay here for you in the future, and we will pick our fruits without interfering with each other!"

"How can I believe that what you say is true?" said the mutant pomegranate tree.

Li Zhi shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically: "It's all this time, do you still have a choice? Agree or not, you should understand that it's up to me." ”

"You're very domineering, like a plant competing for soil and fertilizer, and you don't want to leave the slightest living space for the surrounding plants!" said the mutant pomegranate tree with some anger.

Li Zhi shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I am much more merciful than that domineering plant, at least I am asking for your opinion and discussing with you, and I did not directly ask someone to kill you." ”

"Okay, but I can only give you some, not all the poles!" The mutant pomegranate tree was silent for a moment, choosing to compromise.

In the end, Li Zhina got the 'high-grade wood' he wanted, although it was on the 'quasi-emperor-level' mutated tree, but because this mutated pomegranate tree suppressed its ability for a long time and did not upgrade and evolve, the materials on its body were almost the same as the materials on the 'emperor-level' body, and it was enough to cooperate with the evolution stone in the body of the emperor-level creature.

Before leaving, Li Zhi kept his promise to return the three pomegranates he had picked from the pomegranate tree to the other party.

The mutated pomegranate tree said: "It's useless, it has left my body, even if I take it back, it won't become a part of my body, give it to you, eat them or let them take root and sprout, whatever you choose, they all contain a part of my power, specially stored energy, just like my children, I hope you can use them well!"

Li Zhi was stunned, said thank you, and then led the people away!

After coming out, the Blood Bat Dharma King Honghai looked at Li Zhi and said with some confusion: "Boss Li, why don't you let us just kill that mutant plant?"

Li Zhi smiled and asked: "What good is it for you, for me, and for this mutated orchard to kill it directly? You know, if this mutated pomegranate tree dies, then this mutated orchard will lack nutrients and nourishment, and it will soon wither." ”

"How do you know?" asked the Blood Bat King Red Sea in confusion.

"That mutant pomegranate tree told me!" Li Zhi said with a smile.

The Blood Bat Venerable King Red Sea smiled bitterly and said, "If it says you believe it, what if it lies to you!"

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "This kind of thing, if it's you, are you willing to gamble?" Anyway, I don't want to, we can all make money by keeping this mutated orchard, but if what it says is true, we still kill it, will there be a place to regret it then?"

Blood Bat Dharma King Honghai thought for a while, laughed dryly, nodded and said, "What you said is also right, I would rather believe it!"

"That's right, why do we have to get along with a mutant plant, anyway, it doesn't want to evolve itself, and it doesn't prevent us from entering the mutant orchard to pick mutant fruits, so it cultivates it, we pick ours, and we don't disturb each other. Li Zhi smiled and patted the shoulder of the Blood Bat Dharma King Honghai,

Blood Bat King Honghai grinned and said, "Yes, not only can't you disturb it, but also keep an eye on it, don't let this mutated plant be killed by others." If it dies and this mutated orchard doesn't exist, then we still have to keep it safe!"

Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "You're right, Lao Hong can, you can learn to draw inferences, that's right, we have to ensure its safety, not only can't we disturb it, but we can't let others disturb it!"

“……”

The Ghost Face Queen Zhu Yu'er, the Purple King, the Six-Winged Demon and the others, listening to the conversation between the two men, all felt speechless. I don't know whether to call them simple and good, or whether to call them stupid.

"Do you really believe the words of that mutant plant?" asked Zhu Yu'er, the ghost face queen, who still couldn't help but ask.

Li Zhi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't believe it, isn't it important? The purpose of this visit has been achieved, what I want has been obtained, and it also promises that no matter if we pick the mutated fruit in the future, it will be the best of both worlds, so why bother to delve into anything else, right?"

Benevolent!

When did Boss Li become so merciful?

But from Li Zhi's words, it seems that he can't find any fault.

Back at the temporary camp, Li Zhi called Zhu Yu'er, the ghost face queen, the blood bat king Honghai, and the purple king.

I talked about wanting to hire them as the Great Protector of Doom City.

"Open Doomsday City? I said Boss Li, you're not joking, are you? This is not a joke, if you really provoke that kind of terrifying 'super creature', it is not something that a royal-level creature can compete with, no matter how many royal-level creatures can't do it!"

Of the people present, he was the only one who had seen the horror of that super creature with his own eyes, and that fear could not be understood by imagination!

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Peace of mind, as long as I want to do it, there must be a way, no matter what creatures come over, they must follow the rules of my 'Doom City'!"

"I don't believe it!" Blood Bat King Honghai's head shook like a rattle, and said, "That's a super creature, a super creature, a master who can destroy ten emperor-level creatures, can you guarantee our safety?"

"You don't trust me?" Li Zhi asked, looking at him.

Blood Bat Dharma King Honghai couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not a matter of trust or distrust, you don't know...... They're horrible!"

Li Zhi said calmly: "That's right, I don't know, but I want to try, if it succeeds, then 'Doom City' will be a paradise for all royal-level creatures, I can harvest huge wealth, and the first royal-level creatures to settle in Doom City are undoubtedly the most beneficial, I will not force you, choose to join or not, it depends on your own decision." ”

After a slight pause, he smiled and said, "This is a big gamble in itself, if you succeed in suppressing it, you will have a fortune for the rest of your life." ”

"But what if the bet failed?" said the Blood Bat King Red Sea's eyes.

Li Zhi shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer his words, but said with a smile: "It depends on your guts!"
