Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

At first, Xiao Jian was shocked.

But when he saw that the octopus claw was just hanging in the air and had no other special reaction, and even the rhubarb was just scratching and biting without any discomfort, he felt relieved.

Why did the octopus claws that were "normal" outside just now suddenly float after entering the old house?

Xiao Jian wanted to take it out of Dahuang's mouth, but just when his fingers touched the aperture outside the octopus claw, there was a sudden buzz in his mind, and countless dusty memories came to mind...

…

Xiao Jian's village is called Zhaojiacun. There is a large nanmu tree at the entrance of the village. It is said to be more than a thousand years old and was planted by the Zhao family when they first moved here.

After thousands of years, the Zhao family has gone through several ups and downs, and in the end it is not even the largest surname in the Zhao family village... But the ancient trees left by the ancestors, no matter how the population evolves, have always been silently protecting the people in the village.

When I come back from catching fish in the river, when my parents play doubles, when I pee and mud with my friends...

The ancient tree has been standing quietly at the entrance of the village, accompanying Xiao Jian's growth.

Until Xiao Jian was 16 years old, a second-rate man from the next village sneaked over in the middle of the night and stole a large piece of nanmu. When he left, he was discovered by the villagers, but unfortunately they didn't catch him and let him run away.

After Xiao Jian found out, he led all the young men in the village and rushed to the next village with shovels and hatchets, just in time to block the second-rate man and his accomplices recruited from outside.

A group of young men overturned their van, detained the two of them, and escorted them back to the village.

Of course, the piece of nanmu that was stolen and cut was also recovered.

Just when the young men were clamoring to bury the person alive, the second master, the most respected man in the village, took the initiative and reported himself to the police.

After that, the treatment should be dealt with and the sentence should be sentenced.

But this piece of nanmu that was stolen and cut became a worry for the villagers.

Many people feel that since they have to cut the pigs anyway, they might as well just sell them - every household can have their own pigs!

But in the end it was the second master who made the decision and burned this priceless piece of nanmu in front of the whole village.

Since Xiao Jian was the first to recover this piece of nanmu, he became the executor of burning nanmu.

Later, experts from the province came to see him and treated Lao Nanmu’s wounds at that time.

Debridement, disinfection, filling, repair, reinforcement...even a sling bottle was applied, but Lao Nanmu was still getting worse day by day.

On the day Xiao Jian returned to the village, he took a special look. The old nanmu was just hanging on for a breath. Most of the crown was bare, with only a few branches still glowing with green.

Countless memories flashed before Xiao Jian's eyes like a revolving lantern, and he finally knew where this circle of light wanted to go.

After carefully considering the risks and benefits, he finally chose to replace the entire kitchen with the fog.

As the space grew larger, the halo slowly floated to the front door along with the octopus claws... and the rhubarb on the octopus claws.

Xiao Jian looked at Rhubarb speechlessly - it was still biting the octopus claw, like a fish that bites a straight hook and refuses to let go.

Through the glass at the front door, Xiao Jian could vaguely see the scene in the front yard.

However……

The warehouse is gone, the bathroom that has just been built on a foundation is gone, the door is gone, and even the vegetable patch in the front yard has disappeared...

There was nothing familiar about the entire front yard, except for the old nanmu with ugly patches on its roots.

But...why did the big tree at the entrance of the village come to my house?

Xiao Jian frowned and looked for a while. After confirming that there was no danger, he opened the front door.

Then, the halo of light floated out of the old house, carrying the octopus claws and the rhubarb biting the octopus claws, into the yard, and finally stopped in front of the towering tree.

Xiao Jian did not go out, but held the door open and observed carefully.

The front yard is also surrounded by a fog wall. The difference is that the fog wall here is circular, and the center of the circle is the old nanmu.

It's just that there is no sun or moon above the fog wall here, and the gray area above the head is full of fog.

The living branches of the old nanmu are hung with green leaves, while the dead branches are deep into the fog above the head. Countless leaves condensed from the fog are attached to these dead branches, as if they are real leaves. Same.

Most of the tree crown is gray and the other half is green. It is shrouded in mist, making it dreamlike and dreamy, like a scene from a science fiction blockbuster.

The aperture carried the octopus claws...and the rhubarb and slowly floated not far from the old nanmu. Suddenly the aperture disappeared, and the octopus claws and the rhubarb fell into the ashes surrounded by a circle of stones.

This stone bonfire is exactly the same as Xiao Jian's memory of burning nanmu... However, the problem is that the thing is disposable, and it was dismantled after the wood was burned!

"Come back Rhubarb!"

Xiao Jian shouted, but Dahuang ignored him at all and just tried to pull out the octopus claw.

Unfortunately it didn't work out.

The octopus claw seems to be embedded in the stone bonfire and cannot be pulled out at all.

At the same time, a panel finally popped up on the octopus claw that originally had no attributes:

[Foot of Tririt]

Sacrifice: Get a card.

Xiao Jian looked thoughtfully at the magical old nanmu that was mostly gray-white mist leaves and the other half was normal ordinary green leaves.

"Dahuang, come back."

Xiao Jian shouted again, this time with a commanding tone in his voice.

Dahuang tried hard for a long time but couldn't get his toy back, so he had to go back to Xiao Jianjian, put his front paws on his legs, and meowed at Xiao Jian.

"Sacrifice."

A long way away, Xiao Jian chose to sacrifice. At the same time, he picked up the cat and shrank into the old house. If something unexpected happened, he would immediately close the door and escape to the backyard.

However, there were no surprises.

The octopus claw spontaneously ignited without wind, and was quickly burned away, leaving only three balls of light that slowly floated up from the stone fire.

Looking at those light balls, Dahuang was a little ready to move, but Xiao Jian held it in his arms in advance to prevent it from running away and causing trouble.

Suddenly, a message came into Xiao Jian's mind, asking him to choose the card he needed:

Card 1, attribute card (endurance)

Card 2, characteristic card [Swipe]

(Causes damage equal to attack power to enemies within 12x12 range.)

Card 3, Characteristic Card [Bundle]

(Causes 2x damage to a single target within a 12x12 range and restrains it for 1 round.)

Obviously, these three cards are all decomposed from [Foot of Tririt], either its characteristics or its attributes.

Xiao Jian can only choose one of them.

Among these three cards, only endurance is obviously the worst, while the two attribute cards have their own merits.

The former is a powerful range of damage, while the latter is a skill that damages and also provides control. It seems very difficult to choose.

However... Xiao Jian chose the second picture without hesitation.

Because under ideal circumstances, [Swipe] can deal 6 points of damage per grid within a 12x12 grid, which is a total of 864 points of damage!

Although [Bundle] is controlled, it can only cause 2x6 damage to a single target, totaling 12 points of damage.

If it were 64 versus 12, Xiao Jian would still think about adding a control skill, but if he added 8 in front, there would be no need to think about it at all.

After Xiao Jian selected the card, the light ball in the middle floated towards Xiao Jian and turned into a card in his hand.

The other two light balls flew into the crown of the old nanmu and turned into two golden leaves.
