Chapter 44: Captain, do you want to go on an adventure?
Dabao: “Chu~ (Master, are you done~)”
Erbao: “Chiuchi~ (I’m so hungry~)”
"Alright, alright."
Ji Ruo was too lazy to bother, so he directly took out the barbecue from Rosie's stock - in the storage space of the Pantheon, the rule at the moment was 'time-stop preservation', so the food stored in it remained the same without any change.
Under Rosie's distressed look, the two little Quetzalcoatl ate a dozen pieces of hot and fragrant barbecue, and then fell asleep contentedly.
Afterwards, Ji Ruo told Liang Shixian that he was going to explore and asked Liang Shixian if he wanted to go.
But Liang Shixian rolled his eyes and said that he had to practice seriously and had no time to play with Ji Ruo, so he asked Ji Ruo to be careful and pay attention to safety.
Ji Ruo agreed readily, holding little Rosie on his head and carrying a small wooden stick, he walked towards the depths of the Quetzalcoatl's nest.
"Walking~ on the country road~ holding a small wooden stick~"
Singing loudly the weird song he composed and wrote the lyrics for, Ji Ruo swung a small wooden stick and walked with a step that showed he didn't care about anyone.
“Meow~ meow meow meow~ meow meow meow~”
The little cat's emotions come and go quickly. Rosie lay on top of Ji Ruo and meowed along with Ji Ruo's singing. She didn't follow Ji Ruo's tune, but she sounded very happy.
As soon as Ji Ruo said he would take her out to play, she happily forgot that her baby was confiscated by Ji Ruo.
Liang Shixian: “…”
He watched the childish master and servant singing and dancing away, feeling helpless but also somewhat envious - he couldn't be as happy as Ji Ruo, this was the dangerous Mountain of Beasts, the nest of the Wind God Falcon, the ruler of the sky over the Mountain of Beasts. Reason told him to be careful, but Ji Ruo's actions had been ruining the atmosphere...
"Alas, I don't know when Ji Ruo will grow up..."
Liang Shixian shook his head and sighed, then began to practice with full concentration.
…
Ji Ruo walked for about twenty minutes, looked around, and found no other creatures around. Then he summoned the "Universal Mirror" with a long name from the card collection book.
"It's my turn! Draw a card!"
Ji Ruo suddenly shouted loudly, then raised the index and middle fingers of his left hand and picked up a card that looked like a child's doodle from thin air.
The simple lines on the card depict the appearance of a 'panopticon'.
And that phrase is the necessary password to use the system set card book...
The card glowed and returned to its original appearance in an instant.
"Meow! (My baby!)"
As Rosie spoke, she wanted to stretch out her claws to grab, but Ji Ruo raised his hand and pressed it on the top of her head. Her short limbs waved around wildly and she babbled something, as if accusing Ji Ruo of stealing the kitten's treasure.
This mirror has two special effects. The storage function has been tried before, and there is almost no consumption during use.
Now, he plans to try another special effect.
According to the description, that special effect seems to be able to travel through space.
"All Things Shuttle!"
Ji Ruo said in a low voice, subconsciously ignoring the original name of this function and picking a better-sounding one.
The next moment, a blood-red vortex appeared in front of Ji Ruo, and it was a teleportation portal.
On the other side of the portal was the nine-eyed demon spider's nest that Ji Ruo had visited before.
"The so-called portal... the recorded space coordinates, do they refer to the places you have been to? Or do they mean..."
Ji Ruo felt the consumption slightly and roughly estimated that with his current level, he could probably open hundreds of similar portals...
He waved his hand to disperse the portal and tried again.
This time, he did not choose a specific location, but rather said in a more abstract way in his mind: "For candidates taking the martial arts exam, life or death is not a consideration."
No portal appears.
"Want to be more specific?"
Ji Ruo thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Tree demon?"
No portal appears.
"The dryad tribe I came into contact with?"
Buzz——
A portal appeared, and through the blood-red vortex, Ji Ruo could clearly see the scene on the other side through the blood-red portal.
Even the voices from the other side can be heard.
"Shasha~ (Chief, do you still want to stop?)"
"Shashasha~ (Yeah, we can't fight the Wind God Falcon! Fertilizer Tree Brothers... let's just ignore them, right?)"
The sturdy tree demon leader shook his leaves and shouted angrily: "Rustle, rustle, rustle~ (Nonsense! How can you not save us? Although we tree demons can survive as long as there is sunlight and water, who doesn't want to get up at night and eat a warm meal? Even if the passing demons will occasionally produce some fertilizer, do they do this every time?
Saving the two fertilizer tree brothers will at least help us grow stronger in the future! The fertilizer source will be guaranteed!
Who would be willing to live on the "minimum living allowance" (referring to the sun and water source) every day when they can have a stutter? )"
"Shasha~ (But...)"
“Shashasha~ (But what buts! We are already here!)”
"Shashasha~ (No, Chief, the nest of the Wind God Falcon is ten thousand meters above the sky, and we can't fly, how can we save it?)"
The leader of the tree demons said, "Rustle, rustle, rustle~ (Stupid! We are tree demons, what's a mere ten thousand meters? Give me a few tens of thousands of years, and I will definitely be able to grow that tall!
By then, the Wind God Falcon will surely have died of old age, and we will be able to successfully rescue our Fertilizer Tree brother!
Perseverance is victory, brothers! )"
“Shasha~ (Awesome!)”
“Shashasha~ (As expected of you, the leader! How come I couldn’t think of such a perfect solution?)”
The tree demon leader proudly shook the branches: "Shasha~ (Otherwise, why do you say I am the leader? This is wisdom!)"
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment.
These guys want to save themselves?
I was a little moved. The way these tree monsters saved themselves was really...
Ji Ruo was at a loss for words. How many tens of thousands of years would I give you? After tens of thousands of years, my bones would have turned into slag, okay?
After thinking about it, Ji Ruo stepped into the portal.
And at the moment he passed through the portal, one third of the energy and blood in his body was instantly consumed.
He didn't notice that Rosie's body was also glowing with a faint black light, because Rosie herself was black and the black light was very faint, so it was not conspicuous.
Ji Ruo didn't notice this, and Luo Qian didn't seem to notice it either. Ji Ruo was just surprised - the energy consumption of shuttling is so much greater than that of opening the door?!
But when you think about it, it seems normal.
After all, it is a space shuttle!
He looked up and used the powerful eyesight of his Qi realm to see a small black dot ten thousand meters in the sky. It was the floating island where the Wind God Falcon lived.
After proving that the shuttle function was indeed useful, Ji Ruo looked at the group of tree elves who were discussing a rescue plan - these tree elves were kind-hearted!
Thinking about it, Ji Ruo suddenly said, "Chief."
The group of tree monsters were already very scared when they arrived under the nest of the Wind God Falcon. Any movement that was not caused by them might scare them - so they were frightened by Ji Ruo and dared not to move.
Ji Ruo said angrily and amusedly: "Don't worry, leader, it's me."
"Sha..Sha~ (Are you...Fertilizer Tree Brother?)"
“Yes.”
[Sense of Immersion] The skills are really good!
These guys are obviously scared to death, but they still remember me.
