Chapter 15: Meeting on a Narrow Road
Su You's wild mint became a precious treasure. Wu Ming and others didn't dare to get close to it. They even put on their combat equipment again and remained on alert, fearing that it would be harmed.
Su You, who was surrounded by strong men: Uh... there is no need to be like this!
As for the leaf she knocked down, Wu Ming took out a small metal box.
Su You felt that it looked familiar. Isn’t this the box where Wen Yangjia stored the bean sprouts?
"Wait, Senior Brother, I'll keep this leaf for future use."
Wu Ming then stopped, his eyes showing a hint of reluctance and doubt.
But he didn't ask Su You what she was going to do. He just carefully held the leaves and handed them to Su You.
Su You took the leaf and put her nose close to it to smell it. The slightly spicy but refreshing smell made her relax all of a sudden.
The edge of this leaf is a little damaged and is not suitable for specimen collection.
"77, I have an idea." Su You turned the petiole, "I can try to extract the plant energy liquid."
0977 opened the information about plant energy liquid and Su You read it at a glance.
"Alas...it's not that simple after all."
The air in this world is full of dark matter, which is almost omnipresent. The first problem she has to overcome is how to prevent the energy liquid from being immediately contaminated by dark matter after it is extracted.
Then, the components in plants that suppress and purify dark matter are extremely complex, and you have to figure out the formula proportions yourself.
Currently, 77 can find only two recorded sources of plant energy liquid, both of which are plant species that do not exist on Earth. Therefore, they are of little reference value to Su You.
If she wanted to make energy liquid, she had to start from scratch.
"Then what should I do with this leaf?" Su You muttered to herself, and turned around to see Wu Ming drinking water with his head tilted back.
She immediately took out a small bottle of drinking water from her backpack, about 250ml, clear, slightly sweet, high-quality purified drinking water.
A bottle of noble water worth 500 credit points.
Su You opened the lid, poured some water to wash the leaves and then stuffed them in.
Anyway, she left behind the old stump of wild mint, but the leaves were of no use.
When Wu Ming and the other five people saw this scene, they stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to blame the junior sister for her reckless behavior or for being nosy.
All they saw was pure plant leaves stuffed into a bottle of cheap drinking water.
Su You took the bottle and put it into the bag (system), letting 77 shake at a constant speed.
After resting, the six people continued on their journey.
But this time, they heard a shrill howl and the team suddenly turned around. They immediately stopped their steps that were originally planning to explore deep into the jungle and, under the leadership of Wu Ming, carefully moved forward around the periphery of the jungle.
The five-person group automatically changed their formation and surrounded Su You in the middle.
Su You silently took out the life-saving device given by the teacher and walked obediently in the protection circle of her senior brothers.
Saving your life is the most important thing at this time. Although I heard from Teacher Fan that some processed low-level monsters will be placed in the third battlefield as scoring points for the mecha department, command department, combat department, etc.
But ten years ago, yes, that was the year when several teachers from the Botanical College were almost killed by a mutant plant, a small but high-level intermediate monster with camouflage entered the third examination room.
Many students were seriously injured and unconscious. If Yan Yunting, the former Major General of the Golden Lion Clan and the current general, had not been present, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"77, what did you find out?"
Su You spent 10 energy points to let 77 start the search. Although the senior brothers felt safe, there was no need to let them fight another battle if she could avoid the danger.
"About two kilometers to the right, there's a group of people running."
Su You turned her head, and the dense dark branches blocked all view.
Looking inside from the edge of the dense forest, it felt like I was looking at a dark and gloomy forbidden area.
Danger seems like it will burst out from inside at any time.
"Yuzu! It's the Little Red Lion!" 77 suddenly shouted, "The Little Red Lion is injured again. Hey, that little hedgehog seems to be injured too."
Su You slowed down and thought to herself, how come this damn kid hurts people wherever he goes!
About ten minutes later, Wu Ming's five-member team suddenly approached. They stood back to back, with Su You surrounded by the five senior brothers.
High-temperature artillery is carried on the shoulders, and laser scanning guns are also ready.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Su You looked through the gap and saw a bloody golden lion suddenly leaping out of the dense forest, followed closely by another smaller red lion.
Next came the little squirrel king Songlin and the snow-white mountain polar bear Tan Ke.
The group of people looked extremely embarrassed.
Once the prey leaves the dense forest, the shackles on the monsters' feet will restrict them from continuing to chase the candidates.
Yan Shaoming almost let go of the person on his back and immediately fainted.
The other smaller red lion regained its human form, revealing a girl with long red hair and a charming face with a hint of cuteness.
Su You didn't say anything. If it were only Yan Shaoming and his two younger brothers, she might have gone up to rescue them.
"Brother! Don't scare me. How are you? I have some advanced purification liquid here. Drink it quickly."
The girl took out a bottle of light green liquid and poured it into Yan Shaoming's mouth.
But he just squinted slightly and still showed no improvement.
Su You was wondering what it was when Wu Ming and the others immediately put on protective gear, and Su You quickly followed suit.
"Yuzu, the concentration of dark matter in the little red lion is very high. He will go berserk if he continues for three hours at most."
"Huh? If I remember correctly, it's been less than ten days since I finished purifying him."
Su You and his group of six people, all equipped with protective gear, inevitably attracted attention.
The red-haired girl who was crying while hugging Yan Shaoming was immersed in sorrow, but the black-haired girl with a gold gauze mask who was carried all the way out by Yan Shaoming was the first to ask questions.
"Excuse me, do you have any purification fluid?"
Su You shook her head, "No."
The black-haired girl's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she looked very pitiful.
"Brothers, I know you're protecting this young lady, but could you please help us? Jasmine's brother is seriously injured."
Everyone's attention was focused on Su You, who was surrounded by five people and was intact.
"We don't plan to go into the jungle, so we won't carry any purification fluid." Su You said, thinking that even if a hundred bottles of purification fluid were poured into Yan Shaoming, he wouldn't be able to be saved in his current condition.
Wu Ming and the others naturally did not sabotage them, even though they had dozens of bottles of high-grade purification liquid provided by the Botanical College in their space storage devices.
"Let me stop the exam for you guys and take him out for treatment."
Su You took out his smart brain and openly displayed his special identity.
Yin Yue opened her eyes wide and waved her hands subconsciously, "No, that's not what I meant."
"Brother Jasmine wants to take first place, he definitely won't want to withdraw from the competition."
"So you mean to let him win first place despite being injured, and then die after winning?"
Yin Yue stammered and couldn't answer, and Yan Moli, with her eyes swollen from crying, stood up.
"I'll take my brother out of the competition, you guys continue."
"No, I have to go with the boss." Tan Ke and Wang Songlin said in unison.
In the end, only Yin Yue and his team entered the dense forest again.
Seeing the stranger leave, Su You broke out of the protective circle of his senior brothers, walked up to Yan Shaoming, squatted down, and checked his injuries.
But I was thinking in my heart: Little Red Lion, you are so good at the written test, but your fighting skills are not that good.
