Chapter 1895 Tree Snake

Chapter 1895 Tree Snake

Overtime work is always unpleasant, especially when the finished product is far from what you want.

"Is this a tree man? Is this a fucking tree man?"

When Xiao Mu Mu finally began to perform his duties and completed the first wave of creations as quickly as possible, Lu, who went to inspect, was a little confused.

"It's a tree creature in animal form. Ha, humans are always so arrogant. Robots must be made in human form. It's too expensive and useless. The spider form is more suitable for the use of mechanical limbs. For tree people, extra limbs are actually meaningless."

In a sense, Mu Mu is a child who can do what he says.

After Lu Ping'an finally forced the emperor to abdicate, she actually created her own clan in just a few days, which was the "tree man" that Lu Ping'an had been looking forward to the most.

However, after actually seeing it, it has nothing to do with tree people.

"Snake-like limbs are the most suitable?"

"The long body falls down to become new limbs. Snakes use scales to walk, and tree people also have changeable bark, and leaves become light-sensitive eyes."

Mu Mu yawned and almost fell asleep in the middle of explaining.

At this moment, the two were being surrounded by a "tree snake", and the eyeballs densely covered on the leaves were very creepy.

It looks like a giant brown snake, but without a head or a tail, and with countless "little tentacles" shaking around it. The rhizome is trying to absorb nutrients, but considering its size, it cannot be used as a moving foot.

Lu Ping'an was a little confused, but he understood what Mu Mu said, at least he could comprehend it.

Just like monkeys evolved into humans, the cost of evolution of life forms with little difference is the lowest. A large number of magical plants need to transform into the "tree man" form. Instead of having more limbs, it is better to directly borrow the life form of "snake".

Lu Ping'an improved the gardener skill of summoning tree people himself, and found that the consumption of transforming the same tree into a "tree snake" was less than a quarter of that of a "tree man".

And more importantly

"In this form, it can survive as long as it takes root. Even if you expend energy to transform it into a plant form again, it can survive longer. During this process, if it can reproduce more offspring, then it won't be a loss anyway."

Don’t mention it, after Mu Mu said that, Lu Ping’an really couldn’t find any problem.

If the life form can function normally, then there is no need to bother with it. Grow legs for sharks will not increase their intimidation, but will make it easier for them to chase prey ashore and become stranded.

More organs and stronger muscles, if not a direct benefit to survival, are an additional burden.

In this regard, "Tree Man" is actually a typical example.

As large and super-large melee units, their strength is basically at the bottom among the same level. On the one hand, it is because of the reality that "wood" is relatively fragile, and on the other hand, tree people are generally slow and have no explosive power.

This is a huge negative blessing for melee units.

If it is in snake form, there is no need to use hands and feet to move, just twisting the body to drive the "scales" will make it explode directly and hurt people.

In terms of "species" design, tree snakes are much more useful than tree people.

"Then why do people use tree people?"

"It's simply because we are all humanoid creatures. Humans can't do anything beyond their own understanding, especially in terms of control. It's easier for humans to use so-called fighting techniques. Treemen, who use bark and trunks as their organs of force, can't use them at all. So they are destined to be slow and react very slowly. After all, all their actions are a set of mimicry."

Mu Mu, the "tree man", complained indifferently about the unreasonable structure and design problems of the tree man, and even made some violent remarks.

"The result of great humanism, mankind's favorite tree baby doll"

Well, Lu Ping'an didn't want to care about it anymore. When Mu Mu was a little tree man, it was inconvenient for him to move around. He would just look at his phone when he had nothing to do. As a result, his personality became more and more subtle.

Lu Pingan could understand everything, and he didn't want to interfere with the status of his own clan. What he cared about more was actually other people.

"The problem is that it's not just snakes. Most of the trees in strip form don't have a single bare trunk."

In front of Lu Ping'an was a group of entangled "branches". Each of the branches that continued to spread and entwine was shaped like a snake.

“Looks a bit like Medusa”

Doesn't it look like a mythical beast with snake hair? Lu Pingan nodded with satisfaction.

"Meow! It's a tentacle meow! What a huge tentacle monster!"

But the cat jumped out at an inopportune time and told the truth without restraint.

The branches placed on the ground, dancing around like snake heads, were too similar to the parasitic beast in the legend.

"Tentacles? Well, I know you want them."

While summoning real "life tentacles" to chase and kill cats, Lu Ping'an also has to think carefully about the packaging issue.

There is no problem with strength and life form. The behavior of covering the entire body with "bark" and using the bark to attack the opponent also meets Lu Ping'an's design requirements.

However, this form is too creepy now.

"Anyway, in your opinion, tree people are war machines. Isn't it a good thing to infiltrate people a little bit?"

“I hope that tree people can also have ethnic and social forms.”

"puff."

Hearing this, Mu Mu laughed out loud and then shook his head.

"We don't need it. We are fundamentally different from trees. We are always competing for survival. We are always competing for sunlight, water and nutrients. We don't have a brain. Survival and reproduction are our meaning. We don't need the social structure of 'humans'."

Now it was Lu Ping'an's turn to learn a lesson.

Plants and animals are completely different in some aspects, and Lu Ping'an is indeed a bit "humanist" in this regard, directly presupposing the needs of the other party.

Elsewhere, the differences are more pronounced and intense, even becoming irreconcilable.

"Sure enough, the fight started again."

Looking at the two "tree snakes" that began to entangle and fight each other, Lu Ping'an sighed. Weak humans need to live in groups to deal with natural disasters, but "trees" that are born and raised naturally probably don't need that. Living in groups will only cause nutritional shortages in them.

Many plants will kill their competitors if they can.

But if the tree snakes don't cluster together, the war form is basically useless.

Looking at Mu Mu who was still catalyzing the "tree tentacle monster" and "tree snake", Lu Ping'an sighed and stopped interfering. He admitted that in this regard, Mu Mu, who was constantly reading books and practicing, was probably more professional than himself.

However, he still had to make his demands.

"The evolution of the Light Tree must be completed as soon as possible. This is very important, very important."
