Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 908 One hundred and ninety nine. Truce

   "Those who hurt the jungle will be avenged by the jungle."

  The giant tree refuses to let go of hatred.

   But the logic of the giant tree is clear enough: as the leader of the jungle, it considers itself the jungle, like the collective consciousness of the jungle. The thinking is as immature as a newborn, and the behavior follows the nature of the tree.

   "He didn't take the initiative to harm the jungle. Your war stemmed from the invasion of the jungle." Lu Li explained the facts.

   "Then, according to my friends, a truce. It's just that the jungle has a request..."

   It may have read some books.

  …

  The quiet forest where the firefly grass emits shimmering light, the light of an oil lamp that does not belong here emerges in the depths of the jungle.

   Lu Li was sent back to the battlefield, and now it is silent here.

   "Shortly after you left, they stopped attacking."

  The Swamp Mother greeted the returning Lu Li: "You succeeded..."

   "Not quite successful."

  Lu Li stood on the frozen ground, bypassed the drooping roots of the banyan tree and returned to the crowd, and said to the mother of the swamp: "It needs you to stand in front of it and end the war with the jungle."

   "Can you see... my wreckage?" asked the **** of the deep sea.

   "You're... imitating... me again."

   "I...I'm deeply sorry." The God of the Deep Sea whispered. "But I think...that's how God should speak."

   Lu Li replied: "The remnant is in the hands of the jungle. It didn't quite succeed. The jungle needs us to complete four things before handing it over. One of them is the war with the mother of the swamp."

   "What are the other three..."

"Pollution erodes all water, blows out all winds, and engulfs all shadows." Lu Li repeated the description of the jungle and translated into understandable words: "That is to solve the problem of flooding into the northern swamp and turning it into a saline-alkali land that kills plants. water; winter damage to the jungle; and an environment that lacks light."

   The easiest solution is to invade the seawater and saline-alkali land on the north coast - just build a breakwater, and then use the power of the wreckage to purify the earth, just like letting the jungle still survive tenaciously in the sea.

   But easy is only relative to the latter two: how long it will take to build a 50-mile-long breakwater.

   "If the jungle is destroyed to get back the remnant..." The God of the Deep Sea whispered.

   "We can't beat it." Lu Li replied.

   He wouldn't do that either.

   In addition to this there is another problem: the jungle requires the mother of the swamp to go to the jungle, which means risk. If the jungle breaks the pact, the Swamp Mother, who has little power left, will be hard to resist.

   "I believe you..."

  The Swamp Mother said softly. He will follow to the jungle to stop the war.

   It’s just Ophelia, and Physius and the **** of the deep sea also want to go.

   "Then let's go together." Lu Li said.

   Except for the **** of the deep sea.

   has nothing to do with irony, but the current **** of the deep sea is indeed not smart enough, or not good at thinking, just like the jungle opposite.

   It's never a good thing for two straight guys who don't hide their purpose to meet.

   They moved slowly because the roots were no longer holding up the escort.

   This is a good thing for the Swamp Mother, take the opportunity to observe the layout of the Twisted Jungle. If the war continues, this will help him a little.

   After moving for dozens of minutes in the swamp full of tree roots and silt, the jungle seemed to lose patience and could not wait to take Lu Li away, leaving others to continue on their way.

   And bringing Lu Li back to the jungle in front of the giant tree is like a child showing off toys to his playmates, hoping that Lu Li can visit his treasure room——

The    Treasure Room is in the crown of the tree, very close to the phalanx held up by the layers of branches. The jungle that sent Lu Li to the canopy was obviously unsuspecting Lu Li as a "friend", and Lu Li was not worthy of his trust.

  A tattered carriage, a few dirty clothes with no color visible, a book whose cover is barely recognizable, and the best preserved is a few coins.

   This is a barren collection of beings that make the Swamp Mother, the evil god, powerless to resist.

   "Romanian War History"

   Lu Li's gaze stopped briefly on the book cover, and found the source of the jungle style. If the owner of the carriage had been carrying a fairy tale, it might not have happened today.

   A slender, finger-like tree root made a difficult and reluctant selection on the "treasure", rolled up the most valuable coin and came to Lu Li.

   "This is a present for you, friend."

   So Lu Li also gave Jungle a gift, opened the wooden box and called the merchant Anthony.

   "Is this for me? Friends." asked the giant tree.

   "Not yet."

   When the giant tree exclaimed, the merchant Anthony appeared, and Lu Li asked him to take out some tree species and put them on the curled roots.

   "Young...birthing life...I love your gift, friend." It seems that the joy of the giant tree can be felt from the tremor.

   "Then be kind to my companions."

   It's just that the meeting of the Swamp Mother and the Giant Tree is not wonderful.

  When they reached the giant tree, the roots that emerged from the depths of the jungle spread.

   "You want to continue the war?" Lu Li asked.

   "Jungle, don't deceive friends."

The    giant trees trembled, allowing the jungle to withdraw their hostility.

   followed by the details of the truce. The Swamp Mother can relinquish land encroached on by the Twisted Jungle, but the Giant Tree demands that the swamp be its own.

   This is the essence of being a tree, and the meaning given to it by the leader of the jungle: survival and expansion.

   "Why not grow in the ruins of Shadow Town." Lu Li asked the giant tree.

"where is that……?"

  Lunli expand the map of the Ellen Peninsula, tell it the location of the Shadow Swamp, and circle the Fallen Mountains and the ruins of Shadow Town.

   "There is no nutrition outside, no water, and the ground is full of rocks."

"Indeed...there is such...the saying." Whenever she talks about knowledge, Ophelia will be as rigorous as a scholar with glasses: "Ellen...the peninsula...is a whole...rock...formed... Land, swamps...except."

  Shadow Swamp is not the main body of this rock in the Ellen Peninsula, but a shoal formed by long-term erosion and brought by sea water.

   This doctrine, like many unproven claims, is only a hypothesis.

   And the focus of limiting the expansion of the jungle may not be the underground rock but the water source - at least the large deserted farmland outside Shadow Town shows that it is not impossible to grow trees and plants there.

   "I want to find a way to solve the water problem, in exchange for the jungle to stop expanding to the south swamp." Lu Li said.

   "Yes, friend."

  The North and South Shadow Swamp officially ended the war.

   Although the conditions are complex and tedious, it is better than fire, death and destruction.

   Although Ophelia likes the former.

  Puseus jumped up and down, happily chasing the floating fluorescence.

"you are my hero."

  The Mother of the Swamp was crawling down, covered with a gauze curtain, and her beautiful body emitting a shimmering light embraced Lu Li.

   "I shouldn't be able to bear your hug." Lu Li stopped the Swamp Mother's emotions.

   "Then next time..." The Swamp Mother then asked softly and expectantly, "Is the bracelet I gave you... still there."

   "Place it on Watching Sea Cliff."

   Lu Li lowered his black eyes.

  Anna refused to let Lu Li wear it, using the unidentified relics of the deceased and the excuse that it was a lady's bracelet.
