Chapter 208 Harvest
Lou Xiaoyu nodded, then waved her hand, and a water blade sliced the bamboo cleanly in half. The bamboo fell down, and a plump, white worm about the length of a finger fell out.
At first, they looked like tiny light bulbs in Gu Qing's eyes, even a little dazzling. Gu Qing blinked and her vision returned to normal.
I shuddered when I saw those wriggling worms.
At this moment, someone nearby exclaimed, "It's a life-extending worm!" Immediately afterwards, the person ran over and examined the worm that had been cut in half.
(Drip drip drip, a high-level life-extending insect, can be used in medicine, and has the effects of strengthening the five internal organs, reconnecting meridians and blood vessels, and clearing away mental pollution.)
The man exclaimed, "The captain is actually a high-level life-extending worm, and this one is huge!" The larger the worm, the better its medicinal effect.
The person who was testing with him was sobbing with heartache, "Oh dear, what a pity, two of them died." This stuff is only effective if you eat it while they're alive.
It's no wonder these people feel sorry for them.
Life-extending worms are not susceptible to contamination, but they are also classified into different levels: low-level, mid-level, and high-level. High-level life-extending worms are equivalent to high-level purifying alien plants.
Mid-tier is equivalent to low-tier purifying alien plants, and low-tier is equivalent to high-tier pure alien plants. Don't worry if you can't remember all of that; just know that this stuff is very expensive.
This creature prefers to live in hollow tree cavities or bamboo tubes, but no one can pinpoint exactly what its requirements are.
"Shut up, your sister-in-law found this. Quickly clean it up so no one else notices." Zhu Jian's brows relaxed, but she still scolded the other person.
"I'm so happy it's yours, sister-in-law! If it were an outsider, I'd be jealous." The man didn't seem to mind and happily went to chop bamboo nearby.
No matter how it grows in the wild, once caught, it must be placed in a bamboo tube, otherwise it will easily turn into a puddle of water.
"There were a few bamboo stalks over there and over there, cut them all down too." Gu Qing said, taking out a laser pointer and pointing out four more bamboo stalks.
This time, the few people on guard duty all went to cut bamboo, but they weren't as rough as Lou Xiaoyu, because he was afraid of hurting the life-saving worms inside again.
Sure enough, when the bamboo was laid down, there were indeed many life-saving insects inside, but after testing, they were all low- or mid-level insects.
Even so, everyone gasped in surprise as they carefully placed the insects in bamboo tubes according to their rank.
Undeterred, some people cut down a lot more bamboo around them. The bamboo slips did not stop them, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Qi Bai brought over three large bamboo tubes; these were living creatures and could not be put into the space.
"Qingqing, 19 high-level skills, 91 mid-level skills, and 50 low-level skills."
This group included Lou Xiaoyu and the six people he brought, Shang Zhujian and the four people Liao Wen brought, plus Gu Qing, Qi Bai, and Ma Ming, making a total of 16 people.
Gu Qing couldn't keep them all to herself, so everyone was happy to receive two mid-level bamboo stalks and one low-level bamboo stalk. They voluntarily cut bamboo of suitable thickness and put the life-extending insects inside.
"Sister-in-law, your luck is simply unbeatable!" Liao Wen was slapped halfway through her sentence.
Zhu Jian put his arm around his shoulder and turned around from behind her. "This isn't luck; it's real skill. But for the sake of the team's peace and tranquility, all of you better keep your mouths shut. If anyone takes the benefits and then talks too much, I'll deal with them."
Everyone was smiling, and the thoughtful ones even removed the bamboo stalks infested with the life-extending insects. Then they turned and walked back towards the group.
Zhu Jian deliberately walked over to Gu Qing and explained, "Because the Legion's gathering mission is by the sea, we usually travel for a whole day."
Unless there are special circumstances, stopping on the road is not allowed without permission, but Purifiers or Alchemists are allowed to collect materials near the camp in the early morning and late evening.
"It's just a matter of reporting to the team leader." Gu Qing knew he wanted to explain why Lou Xiaoyu had taken him away from the team when he initially disagreed.
Gu Qing smiled and nodded. "I understand. This is a special case. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to delay the team's progress."
"Haha, sister-in-law, look at what you're saying. Of course you're different from others. I'm mainly worried that you might be in danger if you leave the group. After all, when we came out, the boss repeatedly told me to take good care of you."
Not far away, the group soon came into view. Liu Lin also saw them and breathed a sigh of relief. The fighters on this side had already heard the sounds of the battle over there.
He firmly refused to allow these people to leave, but those from their own legion were fine; it was just that the people accompanying the purifiers and alchemists were difficult to manage.
