Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...
1063 Jingshu's another awesome pet, Heidan appears!!
Jingshu's mouth gradually grew bigger. Even though Jingshu was an experienced doomsday person and had seen all kinds of new things, when she saw such a strange black giant egg growing wildly like a plant, her mouth could still fit several eggs.
Is this a plant? Are there any plants that are completely black?
But if this isn't a plant, why does it look like—
Yes, Jingshu suddenly remembered the famous experiment in the past, the Pharaoh's Snake. It was a chemical reaction that caused a mixture of white sugar, baking soda and alcohol to expand rapidly and crazily. Something the size of a little fingernail expanded directly to the size of a snake.
Jingshu half-closed her eyes, her consciousness completely immersed in the space, and touched the black plant with her hand.
The black dome, with a 1-cubic-meter root system as its base, grew madly in all directions, becoming a towering tree tens of meters high, with leaves and trunks with clearly defined veins.
The main trunk is about six or seven meters thick, with thousands of long branches extending from it. The branches in turn extend into countless branches, all covered with black leaves.
When Jingshu's consciousness poked through the leaves, the giant egg let out a groan, feeling comfortable as if it had been stretched out. It had been feeling very depressed these days.
"Oh my god! It's so scary, this is a conscious living thing!!" Jingshu almost peed her pants after sensing Shu's thoughts.
"Shuashuashua~~"
The branches shook dissatisfiedly, and then in the blink of an eye, they stretched out, wrapped up Jingshu's consciousness, gently brushed her cheek, and told her not to be afraid.
Then, Jingshu's mind was like a pump, accepting the ideas of the new dark species:
It is now very satisfied with the growing environment here, which is simply the place it has always dreamed of. It can finally find a place to settle down. These days it has been looking for a place to take root. Because there is no satisfactory place, it has always maintained the appearance of a seed.
But if it can't find a place, it will choose a place with abundant energy to take root. If it needs to in the future, it can pull out the roots at any time to reduce its size and run away. It's just a little troublesome. Fortunately, Jingshu anticipated it. Balabala——
A lot of random thoughts came to my mind.
It’s not that this plant can speak. Jingshu feels that this is more like the communication of consciousness after the new species becomes a spirit, just like a fat chicken.
"So, are you a plant or something?"
The giant egg tree trembled all over, and then told Jingshu:
It is neither a plant nor a living thing. If you insist, it doesn't even know what it is. But it was originally just an energy body. Because it absorbed too much dark energy, it may have developed consciousness.
But it is still a young animal, very fragile and in need of protection. It needs to develop quietly in this safe place.
"A juvenile?" Jing Shu's mouth twitched as she stared at the tree, which was dozens of meters tall, with branches stretching hundreds of meters. Even other trees thousands of years old were not as big as it. It told her it was still just a juvenile? Very fragile?
What a joke!
Perhaps it was the combination of the spiritual spring and the space that made Jingshu feel like she had completely subjugated Heidan. At this moment, she actually felt very close to Heidan. …
"You are pitch black all over, not like a tree, not like a plant, and not like an animal. How about I call you Black Egg?" Jingshu first gave this thing a fashionable name.
Heidan: “…” I always feel that this is not a nice name.
However, when Jingshu brought her some fruits, plants, weeds, garbage, and other things, Heidan no longer cared about its name and just started to absorb them. Jingshu mainly wanted to see what Heidan usually ate. Plants only needed water, livestock-flavored feed, and dark creatures could survive by feeding on mud and garbage, so what was Heidan?
As it turned out, Heidan was not picky about anything and accepted everything. As long as you put something in front of it, its own branches would curl up and melt it.
"Heidan, if you were born before the end of the world, I would bid for the position of director of a national garbage disposal plant in Gaodi District. You could show off your garbage every day and money would come to you from all directions." Jingshu joked.
Heidan shyly waved the branches and leaves, thinking that this owner was quite nice.
But the next second, Jing Shu's smile fell, "But there is an unwritten rule in our Jing family. If you want to live in our family, you must show your value. Your eldest sister is a fat chicken that lays a lot of eggs, you have a brother who can give birth to many snake cubs, and you also have a sister who is a sulfuric acid ant that produces a lot of sulfuric acid every day.
So what's the use of you? You're all black and you don't even produce any fruit to eat. What's the use of you? You're taking up my precious spiritual field—"
What’s the use?
Heidan was confused. It had just been born and didn’t know what its use was.
Bear fruit? It means that it can bear fruit, but it is still a juvenile and cannot bear fruit now. It needs to grow into an adult.
"Does that mean it's useless?" Jingshu narrowed her eyes, looking very dangerous.
The branches of the black egg tree hummed and hid to the side, shrinking a lot.
Jingshu's eyes lit up: "Your body is quite interesting. Why don't you try and help me pick food in the spiritual field?"
The branches of the black egg can extend very long, as if the length depends on how much energy it has.
Heidan quickly learned to use its slender branches to pick all kinds of ripe fruits in the spiritual field. Moreover, Heidan had many branches, which was much more cost-effective than Jingshu picking them slowly with her consciousness.
"Okay, okay, not bad, not bad. Then you can try delivering a sow."
Heidan: “???”
Okay, no more jokes. Heidan is still young, so we can deal with these complicated tasks later. Jingshu will first train it to take care of its dozens of spiritual fields.
This includes feeding water to the bees, collecting honey regularly, and picking fruits as soon as they are ripe so as not to waste time for the next round of growth. Vegetables and fruits can also be picked and placed in the space next door.
In short, there are too many things to do in the space, and Jingshu has to spend more than 3 hours every day. Although it is a conscious scan, she can do it when she is distracted in a meeting or in the toilet. However, now with Heidan's help, it is really easy.
As for delivering sows, postpartum care, castration, delivering cows, and daily milking, these things can be taught to Heidan slowly. They are not very difficult anyway.
As for what Heidan eats, Jingshu studied it for a while and found that it can eat anything, but its favorite thing is energy. If it has energy, it can grow to a terrifying level.
Moreover, Jingshu didn't believe that the black egg had no use. It must be that she hadn't discovered it yet. Such an awesome new species must have its important use.
