Ruan Xi felt as if he heard a sharp whistling sound that pierced his eardrums and made his head dizzy. But at the same time, the thing in his palm that he had been unable to let go of suddenly slipped away on its own, as if escaping.
"Oh, it's trying to run away..." Ruan Xi had already realized at this time that the thing was a living creature and obviously had its own consciousness. As soon as the thing slipped out of his hand, he subconsciously reached out to grab it back.
Then, he caught it as he wished... No, he was caught by it. The moment his wrist was tightly wrapped around it, there were only two words left in Ruan Xi's mind - it's over.
Ruan Xi was pulled down by a huge force and plunged into the mud and sand on the seabed. In the blink of an eye, most of his body was submerged. He should be thankful that he was wearing an underwater breathing helmet. Otherwise, even if he didn't die, he would have been disfigured.
"Ruan Xi!" He Ziqian reached out and grabbed Ruan Xi with quick eyes and hands. He grabbed one of his ankles just before Ruan Xi was completely pulled into the mud and sand. Then, there was no way for him to resist at all. The two of them were completely submerged in the mud and sand, and no trace of them could be found anymore.
The withered vine that had been left in the sea and had been fighting with the two men for a long time was waving its black vines madly. Unfortunately, no matter how angry it was, it could not get back its former opponent and could only face loneliness and the sea alone.
On the other side, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were pulled down by that thing at a very fast speed. Not long after, they were thrown away. Ruan Xi felt his wrist loosen, and then the whole person flew forward. Then, there were two splashing sounds, and the two fell into the water one after the other.
When the two came to their senses and looked at their surroundings, they were surprised to find that they were in a freshwater lake. There were rugged rocks everywhere around them, and water dripped from their heads from time to time. This environment was like a huge cave.
"Are we still under the sea?" This clearly looks more like land, okay? Are we bullying him for not actually visiting a karst cave scenic area? He does watch TV, though. Besides horror movies, grandma also loves to drag him along to travel shows. She calls it "traveling with your eyes," saving him the hassle and fatigue of traveling.
The basic characteristic shared by both the grandfather and the grandson is that they don't like crowds. They will definitely not have peace and quiet when traveling. It would be more comfortable to go pick herbs or climb mountains. Therefore, he and his grandmother had never traveled in his previous life. Thinking about it now, he still feels a little regretful.
But right now, it’s obviously not a good time to travel!
They couldn't have already crossed the deserted planet and reached the other side of the planet, right?
"I don't know! Go ashore first, and stay in the water the rest of the time." There are monsters in the water, so for safety reasons, they should go by land.
Ruan Xi naturally had no objection, but it was really difficult for him to swim in the water more than ten meters away from the shore. As soon as He Ziqian let go of his hand, Ruan Xi would definitely spin in place, dizzy and disoriented in an instant, which made He Ziqian laugh and cry.
"When you have free time, you should learn to swim. It will be often used in missions." After all, all members of the Goshawk Squad are fighters among the special forces. Although they are best at different things, they are definitely all proficient in all kinds of martial arts.
"I think it's necessary too." The most important thing is that he doesn't want to hold others back at all. He will feel embarrassed to go on missions with the Goshawk Team in the future.
However, as a natural weight, he really has no confidence at all!
Ruan Xi roared silently in his heart, but his face remained calm.
Finally, with the help of He Ziqian, Ruan Xi struggled to the shore. While catching his breath, he saw some colorful grass growing in the cracks of the rocks on the shore. It immediately caught his attention and interest. He rushed over without hesitation and began to observe it carefully.
As soon as Ruan Xi's fingers touched a small red grass, the plant atlas in his sea of consciousness vibrated immediately, and then a page of plant introduction with pictures and text appeared in Ruan Xi's mind.
There are seven colors of rainbow grass. Plants of each color have completely different medicinal values. Red rainbow grass contains a strong neurotoxin. If the skin comes into direct contact with the grass juice, no matter how big the animal is, it will be poisoned immediately. However, this poison is only a paralyzing toxin, which will only make the animal dizzy and is not fatal. How long the animal will be stunned depends on the individual's physical condition.
Orange rainbow grass is a natural and powerful adhesive. Mashing the plant and applying it directly to the wound can quickly repair damaged body tissue.
Yellow rainbow grass is a powerful energy supplement with a sweet and sour taste. It is crunchy and tastes great. One plant can restore you to peak energy.
Green rainbow grass, a natural virus killer, cold-quenched extract can cure most acute diseases caused by viruses.
Green rainbow grass, a natural blood purifier, can purify all toxins in the blood, but it cannot repair the damage caused to the human body before the toxins are purified.
Blue rainbow grass, a natural stealth agent, hot-melt extract, can make people invisible for a certain period of time after taking it. The effect is stable and has no side effects.
Purple rainbow grass is a natural hallucinogen. There is no need to touch it or take it. As long as your mind is not too firm, just one more look at it and you may fall into the illusion woven for you by the purple rainbow grass.
The seven colors of rainbow grass can be freely combined to produce more effects. It all depends on you, the owner, to conduct in-depth research!
At the end of the introduction, the illustrated book unexpectedly showed a cuteness. Ruan Xi said that he was touched by it, but he was more shocked by the seven-color rainbow grass.
This herb is so amazing! You absolutely have to take a sample! There's a huge patch of it growing here, and it's so beautiful!
"Ruan Xi? Ruan Xi, what's wrong with you? Have you been tricked again..." Thinking that Ruan Xi had encountered a similar thing before, which led to them being dragged here, He Ziqian became more alert and reached out to knock down the rainbow grass in Ruan Xi's hand.
"Stop! This is an extremely precious herb! Don't do anything rash!" Ruan Xi came to his senses in time and stopped He Ziqian's actions.
"Herbs? Are you sure?" He Ziqian looked at the colorful grass and felt it was weird. He wanted to stay away from the plants.
After all, the more beautiful a creature is, the more dangerous it is. But looking at Ruan Xi's obsessed expression, he felt helpless. He was almost getting used to this situation.
"Sure! I couldn't be more sure! It's definitely a good thing! I'm going to take a live sample back and grow it myself! Look at this blue grass, boil it and drink the soup, then you can become invisible!" Ruan Xi dug out a piece of blue rainbow grass and excitedly introduced its functions. Not surprisingly, he saw He Ziqian's surprised and interested expression.
"Invisible?"
"Hmm! You can try it if you have a chance."
Ruan Xi dug out a rainbow grass and introduced its functions. He Ziqian became more and more shocked as he listened, and naturally, he would not stop Ruan Xi's special interest in plants.
Ruan Xi originally planned to dig up a few complete samples and take them back to plant himself, but as he dug, he couldn't stop. After all, the seven colors of rainbow grass were all very useful, and he wanted to try them all on the desolate planet, especially the invisibility function.
If they were all invisible, would they no longer have to worry about being attacked by dead vines?
So looking forward to it!
Ruan Xi already had a complete experimental plan in his mind, so naturally he had to prepare enough raw materials. As a result, these seven-color rainbow grasses suffered and were almost pulled out completely. Fortunately, at the last moment, Ruan Xi stopped in time and left a little fire.
"Come back and pick some when you have the chance!"
If the seven-color rainbow grass had consciousness, it would probably be crying loudly by now. Can't you just pull out a different kind of herb?
Ruan Xi unexpectedly harvested seven-color rainbow grass. Now he walked with great vigor and observed the surrounding environment more carefully.
Good things may be hidden in the cracks of rocks. It is easy to miss them if you don’t look carefully.
However, shouldn't the biggest problem now be the environment they are in? They were clearly being pulled into the mud and sand at the bottom of the sea, so how come they seem to have been pulled out of the sea and back to land?
"This planet is full of strange things. We've been in constant danger since we landed. We haven't seen any natives or invaders, and we don't know what's happening to the others."
He Ziqian calmly analyzed the situation, and every time at this time, Ruan Xi would listen carefully at first, and then he would always be attracted by some plants growing nearby, and then naturally he would excitedly pick or dig samples, and often in the end, He Ziqian would naturally be dragged into the water, almost without exception.
They kept walking forward and made a lot of environmental analysis reports. Unfortunately, they did not come to a definite conclusion. After all, there were only two of them and the environment they saw was limited. They had no way to prove anything and could only walk and see.
The environment of a cave is actually not suitable for plant growth, because there is basically no soil for plants to absorb nutrients. What's more, the environment where Ruan Xi and He Ziqian are now in is not even a little soil. All the plants they see are growing directly with their roots tightly attached to the rocks, as if these rocks are their nutrients.
"I'm very curious about the composition of these rocks. I'll take some back to study..." Ruan Xi muttered to himself, and then he really took out a dagger and started to pry these rocks. But the strange thing was that these rocks looked full of holes and loose, but when he stabbed them with the dagger, not only could he not pry off a piece, he couldn't even get rid of the gray skin. They were extremely solid.
"Let me try." He Zisai was also a little surprised. He took the dagger handed to him by Ruan Xi and stabbed it without hesitation. The force was so great and the speed was so fast that Ruan Xi could even see the afterimage of his hand.
But even so, not even a sliver of gray could be scraped off the rock; it was so hard it was almost eerie.
"What kind of stone is this? Can plants really absorb the nutrients they need to grow from this stone?"
Ruan Xi was full of doubts.
