Chapter 891: Adjusting Water to See Silver Frost
On the lakeshore, Chaoming stayed beside the suitcase. From time to time, it would climb up a nearby tree to look at the lake and observe the movements around it. The lost object hung under its neck, swaying slightly with its movements and emitting a warmth that made it comfortable.
The skylight at the fusion area is usually not strong, but rather soft and dim, as if there is a layer of gauze covering the sky. However, occasionally, it will present a stronger and more transparent effect, like today, when the soft and bright skylight pours down, making the lake surface sparkle.
Half an hour later, the lake water rolled and waves spread outward, as if something was about to rush out from there.
Chao Ming raised his head and then jumped up. After circling in the sky for a while, there was a bang. A huge object broke through the water surface, rose about ten meters high, and then fell heavily on the lake beach, splashing a lot of water droplets.
Chao Ming immediately flew a little higher to avoid the scattered water droplets. The waves near the shore below were surging and rolling. After a while, a figure appeared from the water and slowly walked towards the shore. Some rolling waves hit his body and seemed to hit an invisible reef, and were immediately shattered. The rolling waves did not affect his pace.
The morning bird chirped happily in the sky.
Chen Chuan walked steadily to the shore holding the Xuejun Knife. Under the influence of the biological field, his body was not wet at all. He came in front of the creature.
This is a multi-eyed magic ray recorded in the illustrated book. It has a huge body, with a wingspan of more than 20 meters horizontally and 7 to 8 meters from front to back. When in water, it can expand its size by absorbing a large amount of water to intimidate and deter various ferocious creatures underwater. It is said that it can expand to about three to five times its original size.
There are hundreds of eyes on its back, which can produce a faint light underwater. This light, accompanied by a certain gas it emits, has a powerful psychedelic effect, which can make creatures have various hallucinations, thus giving up resistance and being preyed upon by it.
Chen Chuan then pulled out a dagger, cut open a place under its body near its cheek, and took out a sac from it, which was the gland that secreted the psychedelic gas.
This thing also works for fighters. If you are not careful, you may get infected by it accidentally. If you take this thing to a pharmaceutical company or the Fighting Council, you can exchange it for some relatively scarce training medicines.
He took out an ice pack from his suitcase. He brought it with him specifically to make it easier to carry some special alienated tissues and organs. He put the thing inside and after putting it away, he began to look for the high-energy nutrients he needed.
The most nutritious tissue of the multi-eyed devil ray is the thin, filamentous alienated tissue that connects its eyes. Once cooked, it tastes like good, chewy noodles. It is a rare thing that does not need to be eaten raw, so he plans to change his taste today.
It's just that it's a bit troublesome to collect them, as they need to be carefully pulled out one by one. If they are not pulled out completely, the nutrients will soon dissipate. Even with the help of the biological field, it took him more than ten minutes to pull out all the alienated filaments, and then divided them into more than twenty rolls and placed them on a piece of clean membrane that had been removed.
Then he took out a small pot he carried with him and poured water into it. As he adjusted his breathing, high temperature naturally emanated from his body, and the water was boiled in a short while. He took out another roll and put it in. After just a few rolls, a stream of oil spread out, and an enticing aroma wafted out without any seasoning.
Chaoming couldn't help but come over at this time. Chen Chuan smiled and didn't keep it to himself. He specially picked up some with chopsticks and shared it with it. After Chaoming ate, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew out. After a while, it came back with a few eggs in its mouth.
Chen Chuan identified this as a black sparrow egg. Its nutritional value was only average, but it tasted very delicious. When he was looking at the picture book, it seemed that Chao Ming had also taken note of it.
He patted Chao Ming's head. Over the past few days, due to the various foods and leftovers, the latter's body has grown bigger. Its bright multi-layered feathers spread backwards, its front feet have sharp claws, and its hind feet covered by its tail feathers are very strong and powerful. In fact, it has already become quite intimidating to other creatures.
Just because of its age, its growth period is actually far from over. I believe that with sufficient nutrition, its future growth will be even more promising.
Chen Chuan broke the eggs, made a few simple fried eggs, and then spread them on the ingredients that looked like snow-white noodles and enjoyed them deliciously.
After he and Chao Ming finished eating it, he felt warm all over. These alienated tissues were the essence of the multi-eyed magic ray. Just based on the nutrients absorbed, he felt that even if he didn't go hunting for a few days, it would be enough to support his own practice.
After a while, he went to the lake to clean the pot. He did not use the biofield, but washed it himself. This made him feel like he was back home in Yangzhi, and he still had the sense of security after a full meal.
At this time, I couldn't help but think of my aunt's family in the central city. It has been almost a month since we entered the integration area. I don't know if my aunt and uncle have adapted to the life in the central city. The two little guys should have started classes. Learning knowledge is a very pleasant thing. I think they are very happy every day.
He planned to collect some animal and plant specimens this time to broaden their horizons. If there was a chance, he could also bring back some rare and harmless creatures.
He had already thought about what to bring for his aunt and uncle. There was a plant called "Chrimp" in the Blending Land. It had beautiful flowers that could keep people happy and repair damaged parts. It was also very resilient and could survive even outside of the Blending Land.
But he didn't see it on the way here, so he planned to pay attention to it on the way back.
There were actually quite a few good things at the bottom of this lake, and he felt he could stay here for two days. Because the creatures he hunted here had a higher nutritional value, he didn't have to spend the entire day searching for prey; he could also rest here.
He stayed by the lake for two days, spending most of the time resting and adjusting. On the third day, he set off again with full energy.
He could feel that the terrain ahead was gradually rising. After a day of trekking, he stopped to practice at night. After he had mastered the Great Bright Light Style, he looked into the distance in the early light of day and found that he was standing on a high mountain, and a large plain appeared in front of him.
In the distance, you can see a pointed cone-shaped mountain with billowing smoke, which looks like an active volcano, but in fact the blending area is not simple. Some environments that look similar to the outside have completely different backgrounds. For example, the fireworks are likely to be produced by the spontaneous combustion of high-energy algae.
Often, around where high-energy algae live, there are also more special organisms living around them. He has a hunch that the harvest there will be considerable.
On the plains, you can see large patches of intermittent light white mist clouds floating in the distance, with almost no beginning or end. In fact, they are clouds of passing insects. Standing here and looking at them, if you ignore their composition, they will show the wonder and magnificence of the blending land.
He calculated the distance and figured if he sped up a bit, he should be able to reach the other side of the mountain before noon. So he called out to Chaoming and broke into a run, leaving a rolling trail on the ground.
Just as he expected, he arrived at the foot of the mountain around noon. He could feel the high temperature here and could clearly see that the mountain above was charred black with some high-temperature red light flashing there.
There were many tiny, fluffy things flying around in the air—bugs that fed on the debris left by burning high-energy algae. There were also many birds flying around, pecking at these bugs, and the chirping sound was very noisy.
Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly. He recognized that this was a bird called the Golden Bird. This bird liked to bring back some rare minerals and plants, and then spit out its own saliva to build a sturdy bird's nest. Over time, an alien membrane called "Silver Frost" would condense on the nest.
He glanced a few times at the top of another mountain nearby, which was the direction from which the Golden Bird flew. After a while, he saw some twinkling white lights there. They were undoubtedly silver frosts. As his sight extended, he saw that there were almost the same things surrounding the mountain.
This thing is also a high-value high-energy nutrient. The old state religion cannot do without this thing when refining some special elixirs. Because the old imperial family occupied many of the most valuable lands in the fusion area, they have almost monopolized these things for a long time. Dashun needs to use it, and sometimes it needs to obtain it from underground channels of transactions between both parties.
I didn’t expect there were so many of them. Now that I’ve seen them, I can’t miss them.
He pulled out the straps of the suitcase, put it on his back, and then walked towards the mountain.
As he walked, he also saw flocks of crane-like white golden birds. These were enormous, mutant forms of the golden birds, normally responsible for defending against foreign invasions. As he approached, the large birds began to chirp and issue warnings.
But after just a moment, the sounds became sharp, high-pitched and rapid. Chen Chuan couldn't help but stop. He thought to himself that he had not yet entered the opponent's real warning circle, so the sound should not be directed at him. At this moment, Chao Ming, which was hovering in the sky far away, also made a warning chirp.
He looked in a certain direction and saw a slender figure with huge wings appearing at one end of the sky.
