As night fell, the wind had already turned chilly, and in the jungle outside the Fifth Legion's base, wild beasts that hid during the day and came out at night began a new fight.
The jungle at night is particularly terrifying. From time to time, you can hear the swaying shadows of the towering trees accompanied by the whispers of wild beasts. Under the hazy moonlight, it looks particularly terrifying. The vines wrapped around the trees, in the high and low shadows, are like countless huge snakes climbing up with their bloody mouths wide open, waiting for their prey to take the bait.
A few dark shadows can be vaguely seen passing through the shadows of the trees. The faint moonlight in the sky carries a hint of desolation. The treetops, encouraged by the cool breeze, utter bursts of whispers, as if they are setting a desolate prelude to a great battle in advance. The shadows of the wind pass by, leaving only a trace of sadness.
A cheetah retreated with its bleeding prey in its mouth, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Behind the bushes not far away, two figures lay there motionless, as if blending into the night. Even if you got closer, it was difficult to detect the presence of two people.
I don't know how long I waited, but I heard something strange in the air. A flash of purple passed by and rushed into the bushes at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.
As if receiving some kind of signal, the two motionless figures suddenly jumped up and rushed forward quickly. Shortly after they left, the person who had been hiding in the bushes behind them for a long time quietly left, and the direction was surprisingly opposite to the previous two people.
The blue moon above is right in the middle, and the temperature in this area has dropped to the lowest point, but the most dangerous moment has just begun.
He casually shook off the unknown little snake that attacked him, and the figure paused. The dim moonlight shone on the figure's face, revealing a familiar and delicate face. It was He Mo. He closed his eyes, feeling the changes in the air. The medicinal herbs that repair mental strength are cold and can only grow in dry and cool places.
The forest of strange beasts is very large. He randomly chose a direction, but unexpectedly met two acquaintances on the way. He had no choice but to lie in wait for the two to leave. In order to avoid meeting the acquaintances again, He Mo deliberately went in the opposite direction of them. Such a vast forest may not only have natural treasures in the direction they are heading.
He Mo opened his eyes, chose a direction, and ran away at high speed. Because his five senses were extremely sensitive, he changed his route and left before encountering the strange beast head-on. He was safe and sound along the way.
The Exotic Beast Forest is indeed the largest forest on the Central Star, rich in resources. On the way forward alone, He Mo encountered many spiritual medicines. A faint energy lingered above these spiritual medicines. After the golden lion hatched, these medicines could be used. He Mo carefully noted down the places where these spiritual medicines grew. Unfortunately, he did not see the spiritual medicine for mental repair that he needed.
About half an hour later, a plant emitting a faint fluorescent light appeared in the field of vision. This was the lowest grade of restorative medicinal material, and it should not have grown for long, no more than five years.
As expected, there are medicinal herbs for mental repair here. It was a good decision to go to the Forest of Strange Beasts tonight.
This medicinal herb is not very old and its medicinal properties are not obvious, so it generally does not attract exotic beasts to protect it.
He Mo deftly plucked the branches and leaves of the medicinal herb. Its branches and leaves contained energy that could be used as medicine, but the rest were useless, and there was no need to uproot them and cut off their lifeline.
In the world of cultivation, picking spiritual herbs will give them a glimmer of hope. Cultivation is not easy, and the growth of spiritual herbs is even more difficult. Ordinary herbalists will not cut off the vitality of the spiritual herbs. After thousands of years, it will grow again. This is an opportunity left for future generations.
After putting away the picked herbs, He Mo continued to move forward. This forest of exotic beasts contained countless herbs. It only took half an hour of searching to find repair herbs. Maybe he could even find elixirs that could breed unique exotic beasts. There must be all kinds of magical things here.
He Mo slowed down. Since medicinal herbs with this kind of effect have appeared here, there must be other medicinal herbs with similar effects in this area.
Sure enough, after walking another 500 meters, He Mo discovered a spiritual medicine. This spiritual medicine was far superior to the previous one. The energy contained in it was a hundred times that of the previous one.
Delighted He Mo quietly reached over. It was really like searching for something everywhere but finally finding it without any effort.
This spiritual medicine grows low, close to a huge ancient tree, growing on the protruding roots of the ancient tree. Even with He Mo's extraordinary eyesight, he cannot see the surrounding situation clearly under the shade of the ancient tree. It is pitch black all around and there is no sound of insects, so he can only move forward cautiously.
Fortunately, there were no strange beasts nearby. He Mo successfully approached the spiritual medicine. He felt a little puzzled. Logically, there would be guardian beasts near a spiritual medicine of this level. How come he had not seen one along the way? Could it be a strange beast like a poisonous snake or insect, hiding in an inconspicuous place?
Thinking of this possibility, He Mo's heart trembled, and his movements became more cautious. However, until he touched this spiritual medicine, there was nothing unusual happening around. The opportunity must not be missed. This thought quickly flashed through his mind. He Mo quickly picked the part he needed and quickly left.
Not long after He Mo left, a huge black shadow appeared where He Mo had been. It lowered its head and sniffed gently, as if confirming something. After a moment, joy appeared in the black shadow's pupils. It dropped the poisonous creature in its claws, whose life or death was unknown, and disappeared.
Back in the dormitory, He Mo took out fresh herbs and extracted the essence from them with the power of the stars. The light green essence slowly flowed in the transparent glass. He Mo tilted his head back, and the essence slid down his throat into his limbs and bones. However, the energy in it did not disperse, but was completely gathered in his mind, slowly repairing He Mo's dried-up mental strength.
The dull headache he had felt before suddenly felt much better. He Mo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was extremely lucky tonight as he had easily obtained a healing elixir. With the help of the two medicines, his previously damaged mental strength was no longer as severe as before. However, it was impossible to recover from his injuries with just this little bit of elixir, so he had to continue searching.
At the beginning of a new day, He Mo carried nursing tools and went to Ward No. 7. Ward No. 7 was the ward for the tiger cat beast. Its illness was not serious. It was just that when it was on a mission before, one of its feet was contaminated with venom and the sole of its foot was corroded by the venom. As long as it was properly cared for, it would recover soon. It had been in the medical team for several days, and the injury on its foot was almost healed. It would be discharged soon, so today He Mo only gave it basic care.
He Mo thought that he would have to fight a battle of wits and courage with the tiger cat beast before it would behave itself, but he didn't expect that the tiger cat beast would be listless today, lying there motionless, leaving He Mo with only a furry back of its head.
What happened to the little guy? He Mo thought the injury had worsened, so he walked over to check the tiger cat beast's injury. The result was the same as before, and it recovered very well.
"What's wrong with the little guy?" He Mo touched the tiger cat beast's head. The power of the stars flowed through his palm to moisturize the tiger cat beast's fur, making it look softer and smoother.
The tiger-cat beast moved, and just when He Mo thought it had regained its spirits, the little guy stopped moving again, lying in a spread-eagle position on the bed covered with a velvet blanket, with its head drooping, looking very pitiful.
At this time, the voice of the intelligent computer sounded: "Second Battalion No. 45678 requests to visit the exotic beasts. Do you agree?"
The little guy's owner had arrived. He Mo was wondering why the little guy had suddenly become listless. Thinking that perhaps its owner would know, he said, "I agree."
The owner of the tiger-cat beast came over soon. The young man was very young, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His skin was a little dark, and he had a crooked, not very obvious scar near his ear.
"Hello, doctor. I am A-Bian's owner, Zhang Zheng." Zhang Zheng nodded towards He Mo and looked at the tiger cat beast lying on the bed with some worry. What happened to A-Bian? In the past, when it saw him coming, it would pounce on him excitedly and rub its head against his arm.
He Mo noticed Zhang Zheng's gaze and said, "You came at the right time. I don't know what's wrong with A-Bian. He has been so listless this morning. I thought his injury had worsened, but I just checked him and his wound has healed very well."
"Could it be..." Zhang Zheng had a guess in his heart. He told He Mo that he wanted to communicate with A-Bian. He walked over and picked up the tiger-cat beast that was flattened into a pancake, and communicated with it for a while.
"So that's how it is." After listening to his own beast's accusation, Zhang Zheng put A-Bian back to his place, feeling both amused and helpless. He explained to He Mo helplessly, "A-Bian is heartbroken."
Before, A-Bian had been pursuing a tiger-cat beast. These days, A-Bian was injured and trapped in the medical team, so the tiger-cat beast fell into the arms of another exotic beast. A-Bian learned the news from the exotic beast that had just been admitted to the hospital yesterday and wanted to find the tiger-cat beast, but was trapped in the web of the fire spider.
So, yesterday the flame spider separated a pair of affectionate beasts, and He Mo silently shed a tear for Ah Bian.
Zhang Zheng took A-Bian away and said that he would come back to take care of him when he felt better. The little guy was too sad now and didn't have the energy to take care of him.
He Mo completed the discharge procedures for it. The little guy buried his head in his owner's arms the whole way, looking listless. I hope A-Bian can meet another tiger cat beast he likes again.
After dealing with the tiger-cat beast, a message came on the light brain, sent by Captain Wang.
Xiao Mo, the alien beast in Ward 7 has been discharged, right? You are taking over another alien beast in Ward 10. It was just sent in last night and its injuries are quite serious. You should give it priority. I will send you a report on its injuries for you to study.
The message was followed by a report on the injury of the alien beast in Ward No. 10. He Mo opened it and found that it was a familiar alien beast.
