Chapter 307 Capturing Blackthorn
Zhou Yi first observed from a distance.

Blackthorn is a biological vehicle with high strength, but you will not be affected as long as you don't get close to it.

Yuanxiao’s mother was only half right.

Blackthorn will indeed switch to the second stage of high-energy mode after being stimulated by external factors or objects thrown at it. However, as long as it escapes from the area and enters another area, it will return to the low-energy mode.

Of course, even this is still A-level strength.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to get close and touch it again, you will need to consume hundreds of thousands of light seeds.

However, for Zhou Yi, who has mastered the common knowledge of mud tree civilization, there is now a simpler and more effective way.

He began to dig.

Since only the left hand is available, digging mud becomes very difficult

The seabed is extremely solid, and one has to break through the surface and dig deeper. Only at least one meter below the ground can one find flowing silt formed by groundwater.

He found a large stainless steel spoon and used it to dig the soil.

I don't know how long it took to dig.

Zhou Yi felt his entire arm go numb, and he was worried that the blackthorn might wander away on its own - theoretically it was a living thing and would still move around.

I was busy for a while.

The soft silt was finally dug out from the soil.

Zhou Yi grasped the soil in his hand and began to knead it with one hand.

It was very uncomfortable for him to move with only one hand.

However, Zhou Yi's ten years of experience under the sea had made him patient. If he focused on the present, his mood would calm down. It was just like playing with plasticine when he was a child.

The difficulty lies in molding it into a specific shape, as the mud is constantly breaking down and becoming soft.

After working hard and sweating profusely.

Zhou Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Get it done.

He flexed his dirty left hand.

There was a small earthen platform made of soft mud on the ground in front of him.

The earthen platform was square and hollowed out inside, sunken into the ground, big enough for Zhou Yi to sit inside.

There is a mud circle around it, then a square, and then another circle, thus forming a ground totem made of mud.

This is how the Mud Tree People recycle Blackthorn.

Build a recycling station out of mud.

It is said that blackthorn can identify specific soil structures.

Zhou Yi could only try this method at the moment.

The next step is to wait patiently.

About ten minutes later, Zhou Yi saw a faint light emerging not far away.

A humanoid creature covered in thorns staggered and slowly approached this side.

Really useful!

Zhou Yi subconsciously held his breath, fearing that he would disturb the whole process.

The blackthorn flew slowly all the way, it rotated above the recycling platform, and after spinning twice, it lowered its altitude and fell, with all its thorns piercing into the mud platform.

The recycling table, which looked like an ancient altar, was now emitting a white light, as if it was connected to some kind of power.

Become!

Zhou Yi clenched his fist with one hand.

According to the description in the memory, Blackthorn is now in a dormant state and can be controlled manually.

Only then did he slowly walk over.

One step, two steps.

Getting closer and closer to the platform.

One hundred meters.

There was no sense of obstruction, and no health decay.

Eighty meters.

everything is normal.

ten meters.

five meters.

one meter.

Zhou Yi stood in front of the blackthorn again and reached out to touch its hard thorny shell.

And this time, the shell opened again from the middle.

It's just that the white light became much dimmer.

Zhou Yi leaned sideways and entered the interior of the black thorn.

To operate this biological vehicle, one must start from the inside.

The shell still emitted a white light, but it did not feel oppressive or dazzling. Inside was a soft gelatinous layer made up of a large number of strip-shaped petals, which reminded Zhou Yi of the flesh of a grapefruit.

He did not find any trace of the mud tree man inside, and his tense mood relaxed a little, but he soon felt a little disappointed again.

Common Sense Banana did not describe the situation of the Mud Tree People in detail, and the description of them was highly general and vague. I think it was also considering the possibility of being captured by alien life, hiding this part of information can reduce the potential danger of the Mud Tree People group.

The interior of the Blackthorn is empty.

Zhou Yi searched for a long time and finally found three clay tablets.

There are two small clay tablets, one large and one small, all tightly attached to the inner layer of gelatin, making them very stable.

Zhou Yi took them down and observed them one by one.

The large clay tablet is about 80 centimeters long and has some fixed slots on it. Inside are eight gourd-shaped seeds that look like nuts. There is also a simple clay tablet painting next to it, showing how to plant these seeds.

Judging from the description of the picture, this is the seed of the giant tree.

Zhou Yi felt excited.

This can be said to be the cornerstone of Mud Tree Civilization!

The Mud Tree People fled their homeland and took the seeds with them, presumably planning to rebuild civilization on other worlds.

The giant tree that can be planted in the Dead Sea is of great significance to the future of the company and the development alliance. Zhou Yi calmed his breath and looked at the other two small clay tablets.

On one of the clay tablets, a family of four is carved. The two tall people with long arms and legs and pointed heads are a couple, and the other two are children.

The painting and carving style of the mud tree man is wild. It does not pursue realistic sketching, but highlights the characteristics.

The father on the clay tablet has a vine-like plant wrapped around him - it even raises its head like a snake, while the mother has a flower growing out of her head.

The two children did not have plant friends. One of them held up a wooden stick, and the other held a small clay house on his head. They held hands happily and laughed.

On the second clay tablet, there was a young man with a clay house on his head. He was taller, also entangled with vines, but without a smile.

Zhou Yi pondered in his heart.

This blackthorn should belong to this young man. For some reason, he was separated from his family and entered the wasteland alone to survive.

But I don't know where he is now, or why he left the vehicle. Maybe he was attacked, or maybe he encountered some unexpected situation...

There is a high probability that this person has met with an accident.

Zhou Yi said silently.

I will inherit your will and property, restore the giant trees of the Mud Tree Civilization to the world, and will never waste your gifts!

Rest in peace, bro.

……

Then Zhou Yi began to explore this biological vehicle happily.

The blackthorn itself is a special modified fruit that needs to be manipulated through the core.

Zhou Yi searched repeatedly in the gelatin and found the fruit core.

It is a black soft object shaped like a pointed chestnut. As long as you hold it, it will be recognized by Blackthorn and will not pose any threat to the holder.

There are certain skills in operation.

Once the core is removed from the inner layer of the blackthorn shell, it will gradually age and become dull, and the sensitivity of use will continue to decrease. In order to control more delicately and accurately, the core needs to be replaced regularly.

Old fruit cores are always inferior to new ones and will always be replaced by new ones. However, the generation of fruit cores is very slow, and a large number of them need to die before they can grow, so they also need to be used sparingly.

Unfortunately, these fruit cores can only be used for manipulation, but cannot be used to cultivate new blackthorns. Blackthorns need to be grafted onto giant trees and require a series of complex cultivation methods to be produced.

The abilities of Blackthorn are called [Insect Killing] and [Slow Wave] by the Mud Tree People.

[Insecticide] will weaken the life of nearby insects, making them afraid to invade.

[Slow fluctuation] is more about reducing the approach and impact of the outside world to maintain the stability of the blackthorn itself and prevent the items in the shell from being bumped and damaged.

Zhou Yi pinched the fruit core. The texture of this thing was like rubber and the feel was very special.

If you squeeze it hard, it is equivalent to an emergency call, allowing the Blackthorn from even a distant area to fly over at high speed and take the holder away.

If you gently squeeze the core, the blackthorn will arrive at a normal speed - but its speed itself is very amazing, especially in the Dead Sea with external death light supply.

There are several other ways to do this.

Zhou Yi began to operate slowly in order to become proficient as soon as possible.

The Blackthorn, shaped like a sea urchin, immediately began to roll and circle nearby, its speed and flexibility far exceeding any vehicle he currently knew.

The flesh of the blackthorn also provides a full view of the outside world, so there is no problem with vision at all.

The Mud Tree Man’s car is really fun to drive!

Zhou Yi gradually became addicted to it.

……

At the same time, the previous battlefield area.

The boat slowly floated over the place where the sashimi man disappeared.

On the deck, the old farmer puppet looked into the distance and didn't speak for a long time.

Ling Qin next to him said carefully: "Sir, Zhou Yi doesn't know whether it is good or bad. Should we directly develop the amber mine on the seabed now, or wait a little longer?"

"time does not wait."

Miedinggong said softly: "We will first conduct preliminary survey and development of the mine, and then prepare to put it up for sale."

"You should go to Feng Che immediately. Through him, we can quickly go through the process, mortgage our overseas islands, and borrow 60 light seeds from the Imperial Treasury. Together with our cash, it will be enough for 100 million."

"Zhou Yi won't die so easily. Just now he caught the assassin, it was more like he discovered something. The angel of death has already caught up with him, and there will be news soon."

"Prepare the light seeds first. Since I promised, I will not break my promise."

"Yes, my lord."

"Go back."

The boat slowly rose to the surface.

The seabed returned to calm again.

……

Some time passed.

A pointed-headed man emerged from underground, his body wrapped in vines that could shield him from the gaze and observation of local life.

He was in a good mood at the moment.

After years of digging and exploring underground, he finally found mud that met the standards. That mud was the key to planting and would allow the giant tree to rise again!

When he looked around happily, he suddenly found something wrong.

Blackthorn is missing?
Nothing.

He took out a fruit core from his arms and squeezed it gently.

No feedback.

He squeezed harder.

Still no response.

He was a little panicked for a moment, and hurriedly squeezed the fruit core repeatedly, but the fruit core had no response, which meant that the black thorn had completely stopped responding.

Although this is an old fruit core, it can still be used.

What's going on here?

At this moment, the man felt like he was struck by lightning and his head was spinning.

What about Blackthorn?
Where is my Blackthorn?

It's over, it's over, it's over...
