Song Yu expressionlessly tore the octopus-like dodder vine off the edge of his instant noodle bowl.
Even though the small crucian carp just now was only the size of an adult's palm, its weight is several times or even dozens of times that of the dodder vine.
When the small crucian carp and the dodder vine were caught by the fishhook at the same time, she even thought the dodder vine was just a piece of waterweed hanging on the crucian carp...
Song Yu pulled down the dodder vine, placed it on the grass and pushed it aside.
She refused bluntly, "You can't eat anymore. What if you die of overeating like a goldfish?"
I heard in a book that plant-based monsters don't have high IQs, and this is probably reflected in this aspect.
These days I have been interacting with contracted beasts such as Qiuqiu at home.
Song Yu also knew that although the strange beast was powerful and had the strength to fight ten or even a hundred of them at once.
But the stomachs of these strange beasts are not bottomless pits. She gave them fish out of kindness, but it would not be beautiful if they died of stuffing.
“Rustle~…”
The dodder vine looked at Song Yu with its small, beady eyes. Its two small, tender green leaves rustled as the thin vine swayed eagerly. The dodder vine exuded a pitiful smell, like a puppy begging for food.
Song Yu: “?”
Song Yu: “…”
Hmm.
I have to say.
Although she had no idea what the dodder vine was saying, from the eager waving of its vines and the little guy's movements while scratching the bowl...
It was not difficult for Song Yu to guess that the other party probably still wanted to eat the instant noodles in her bowl.
But how can this be possible?
Song Yu instinctively protected the bowl of instant noodles.
Not to mention what would happen if this little guy died of overeating?
Take the dodder, for example. As a parasitic plant-climbing beast, its daily rations are the various trees in the wilderness forest...
Instant noodles were a snack for the little one, but they were essential for her survival in the wilderness for the next few days. She also wanted to finish her 1,000 hours as soon as possible and return home. How could she waste time constantly returning to the supply base?
then……
One minute later.
"Ah...what? You said you were full and didn't want to eat anymore?"
Song Yu nodded in pretense of sudden realization, quickly shoveling the last two mouthfuls of noodles into his mouth. A smile revealed his canine teeth. "Okay, I get it. I think you're full too. How could you not be full with such a big fish?"
“Rustle~!”
The dodder vines were jumping anxiously, the thin and small vines jumping up and down, and the vines dancing wildly.
"Ah... what? You said you were still full? Need to walk around to digest it?"
Song Yu, imitating the hard-of-hearing old man in the TV show, continued to pretend he hadn't heard anything, his expression pleased. "Very good. As an exotic beast, you must be aware of the need to keep exercising and keep in shape."
Dodder vine: “…”
"Go ahead, go ahead... I think climbing trees and mountains are good ways to exercise."
Song Yu smiled and waved his hand, pushed the dodder vine, and urged it to go deeper into the dense forest.
This forest in the Green Mountain Wilderness Area is full of various plants and trees, all of which are parasitic food for this little creature. Why would it hang itself on this crooked tree?
Dodder: ...
The tiny yellow vines of the dodder, like octopuses, all drooped down, and its whole body showed a look of dejection. Its eyes were full of disbelief as it looked at Song Yu.
How did this human attitude change so quickly?
It was clearly in the river just now, and the other party was attracting it with food, so active.
It didn't want to take the bait, but the hook with the delicious food on it kept dangling in front of it, challenging its will and disturbing its mind...
I finally managed to hold back my heartbeat and gave up Xiangxiang...
The other party used fish to lure it.
Dodder vine: QAQ~
It had just been attacked by other strange beasts and was injured, so how could it withstand such temptation?
Even though it had eaten the energy-rich lotus before, its injuries still had not fully recovered and required a large amount of nutrition and energy to repair.
But why did the other party urge it to leave quickly after it had just eaten a fish?
Dodder vine: QAQ~
The dodder vine looked wilted and droopy, as ordinary trees simply have too little energy.
I don't know how long it will take to recover...
But the two-legged beasts couldn't understand what it wanted to express.
Waving its vines forward, the dodder vine looked back every three steps, its eyes full of pity.
Song Yu: “…”
Song Yu turned his head silently and pretended not to see anything.
The other party was clearly just a dodder vine, but she could still see the resentment in it, just like a resentful woman facing a scumbag.
Song·Scumbag·Yu sighed...
Feel sorry.
The responsibility and pressure of raising contracted beasts is too great.
She really didn't want to continue fooling another plant version of Qiuqiu.
It must be tiring to act every day.
She just wants to be a salted fish.
After a quick tidy up after dinner, Song Yu dragged his sleeping bag and lay down next to Qiuqiu. He dived into the sleeping bag, looked at the starry sky, and started watching TV series.
In the autumn forest, the night breeze is cool.
The forest is full of fluorescent lights, many fireflies are flying around, frogs are croaking and birds are singing, it is very peaceful.
Song Yu was watching a TV series on his mobile phone while yawning, and his eyelids were about to droop.
However, at this time——
rustle!
Suddenly, a sound came from the bushes nearby, instantly setting off the alarm system in Song Yu and Qiuqiu's minds!
"Huh? What's that sound?" Song Yu frowned alertly.
Logically speaking, with Qiuqiu, a level 3 monster, other low-level wild monsters in the Qingshan Wilderness Area hardly dare to approach.
But this sound was obviously not the sound of ordinary leaves rubbing against each other.
“Squeak!—”
After just a moment, the rustling sound was accompanied by bursts of low cries.
A rabbit, about the height of an adult's calf, with gray-green fur all over its body, ran out from the shade of the tree. In front of it was an octopus-shaped vine that was desperately running away.
"Is this... a level 1 wood-type Blue Moon Rabbit?" Song Yu quickly pulled out the memories of the exotic beast illustrations in his mind, trying to identify the exotic beast in front of him.
The Blue Moon Rabbit is a low-level rabbit-like beast that likes to eat at night and has average combat power.
"Qiuqiu." Song Yu frowned and directed Qiuqiu, stepping forward to help.
"Meow~!" Qiuqiu squatted on the spot and roared.
The huge cat pupils stared at the green-haired rabbit. The Blue Moon Rabbit was stunned by the sound, feeling the pressure of the obviously more powerful beast in front. Looking at the size of the behemoth in front, the green-haired rabbit shook its ears, shuddered, and ran back without looking back.
Qiuqiu is very familiar with the smell of dodder vine.
This low-level plant-like monster had just left the simple camp, but unexpectedly, it came back in such a miserable state in the middle of the night after only a few hours away.
Qiuqiu lowered his head, looked down at the dodder vine, and snorted coldly.
It's true that it wants to recruit a younger brother, but...
This little brother is too weak. Qiuqiu shook his tail and looked down on the dodder vine completely.
The dodder vine, two vines of which had been gnawed by the Blue Moon Rabbit, lay on the ground pretending to be dead, looking as melancholy as a 50-gram ball of water grass.
Obviously, this mission was unsuccessful and the dodder vine suffered a heavy blow.
Song Yu: “…”
How could a human like her know how to comfort a plant?!
"Oh..." Song Yu sighed, staring at the dodder vine lying on the ground pretending to be dead. After thinking for a while, he took out a pack of instant noodles from his backpack.
The instant noodles sold at the wilderness supply base are different from ordinary instant noodles.
In order to quickly restore the physical strength of the contractors in the wilderness, these foods have been added with some energy-rich herbal ingredients, and the meat and vegetables in the seasoning packs are also relatively rich. When cooked, they make a full bowl and are filled with fragrance.
Song Yu covered the pot to prevent the aroma from escaping too much. After it cooled down a little, he served the instant noodles to the autistic Dodder.
Song Yu: "...Eat it, then take a rest. We'll find a big tree to climb tomorrow. Eat this to fill your stomach today."
Dodder vine: “…”
The little thing pulled itself out of the weeds and looked eagerly at the small pot in Song Yu's hand. It could feel a vague and abundant energy.
Ten minutes later...
Cuscuta: "...Hiccup!"
Song Yu's pupils trembled.
She looked at the dodder vine, which had just swelled up like a ball after swallowing a whole pot of instant noodles... but had instantly returned to its slender shape after digestion, with a look of confusion on her face.
"This... Teacher Zhang and the others never seemed to mention that plant-based beasts could digest food so quickly?"
"And... it looks like the injury has recovered somewhat?"
Song Yu carefully lifted the dodder vine with two fingers and observed the other party's body carefully, which had become thin and small again. He was in awe and envy.
If she had the secret of not gaining weight in her previous life, how many delicious foods could she have eaten!
