Chapter 159
Seeing Su Ci's sudden movement, A Yan quickly moved to his side.
Looking at the dying state of the little wild grass, he frowned slightly. It was like this when he watered it this morning...
However, when A Yan carefully felt the little wild grass and tried to find out what was wrong with it, he was stunned.
The solemnity on Su Ci's face had also eased. He turned his head to look at A Yan. The two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Susu..."
"Um."
Su Ci picked up the can of spiritual soil and walked straight towards the teleportation array. A Yan also hurriedly followed. As for Guo Hui and the other two who were still waiting for him... let them wait a little longer.
Now, they have more important things to do.
Su Ci and A Yan's figures disappeared in the light of the teleportation array and soon arrived at the river bank.
After a night of purification, the concentration of spiritual energy on the river bank increased a little more -
Without the control of the resentful spirit, the red mist will spontaneously spread to thinner places and continuously pass through the purification barrier, thus continuously purifying the resentment.
The spiritual energy is also constantly spreading around, reducing the concentration of the red fog nearby.
The fruits and vegetables they harvested yesterday have grown again, and the river bank is lush and green, with no exposed land left.
However, when we came here, the already dying weeds became even more wilted.
Su Ci hurriedly protected it and had no time to care about the fruits and vegetables on the shore, let alone the iron-eating beast he rescued yesterday. He quickly picked up the small wild grass and arrived at the plain below the waterfall in a few flashes.
The plain is still shrouded in thick red fog. Only the water purification barrier set up in the river constantly emits a faint light, purifying the polluted river water.
Compared with the lively riverbank above the waterfall, this plain is dead and desolate, with only resentful spirits floating around, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, releasing resentment weakly but continuously.
No plants could survive in such a land.
However, when Su Ci brought the little wild grass here, the originally sick little grass suddenly stood up.
"Wow~"
This little grass, which had always been patient and quiet, released such joyful emotions for the first time.
It swayed its tiny blades, slowly absorbing the dense resentment around it, and then...
Released some spiritual energy.
It continuously absorbed resentment and released spiritual energy. In the process, its leaves grew visibly longer and became greener.
That's right, this little wild grass that grew with difficulty in an environment filled with resentment did not become a magic plant in the end. Instead, after getting help from Su Ci, it successfully transformed into a real purifying spiritual plant!
It uses resentment as nutrients, and after absorbing it, it can release spiritual energy like ordinary spiritual plants.
Absorbing and purifying resentment is the new characteristic evolved by this little spiritual herb!
Su Ci felt like he had found a treasure, and A Yan, who was following beside him, was also filled with joy.
As long as this little wild grass is planted and as long as it can successfully reproduce and thrive, then in addition to artificially setting up a purification barrier, there will be another more effective solution to the resentment!
"Ayan."
Su Ci looked at him, but before he could say anything, A Yan nodded and took him to find the best place for this little spiritual herb to grow.
They kept moving away from the waterfall, walking towards a place with stronger resentment, and finally stopped at a moist land by the river.
The resentment here is very concentrated. Ordinary plants would wither in a second, but the little spiritual grass is becoming more and more energetic.
A Yan dug a hole in the ground, planted the little magical grass with Su Ci, and then gently watered it.
The little spiritual grass stretched out its leaves in the wind, releasing joyful emotions in the red mist, and at the same time expressing its happiness and gratitude to Su Ci.
Su Ci stretched out his fingers and gently touched its leaves.
As the leaf carefully rubbed his fingertips, he bestowed the blessing of the spirit of the earth on it, hoping that it could successfully take root and grow on this plain.
It has such tenacious vitality that it can burst out with huge energy as long as it is in the right environment.
After doing all this, Su Ci stood up and rolled up a water dragon in the river, which turned into a drizzle that fell on the vast and arid plain, bringing the source of life to the land.
In the continuous drizzle, on this desolate and silent misty plain, the little spiritual grass, only a few centimeters high, looks so small and lonely that people can't help but worry about it and worry whether it can really survive here.
However, the increasingly powerful vitality that continued to be released from the small spiritual grass seemed to be telling Su Ci and A Yan——
It can, it will not disappoint their expectations.
Su Ci stared at it quietly for a while, but finally gave up the idea of setting up protection.
The small spiritual grass is different from other delicate spiritual plants. The more difficult the environment, the more suitable it is for growth. The spiritual shield does not protect it, but strangles it.
As long as you ensure its water and nutrients, there should be no other problems.
Soon, Su Ci and A Yan left.
After they left, the resentful spirits floating on the plains all approached the small spiritual grass. They surrounded this creature that suddenly appeared on the plain, and the resentment from their bodies continued to emanate.
However, this seemingly weak and helpless little weed not only did not show any fear or resistance, but also released increasingly excited emotional fluctuations, as if welcoming them.
More and more vengeful spirits were attracted and gathered here.
Above the waterfall, Su Ci looked back because he was worried. He watched the scene from afar and felt the warm joy emitted by the small spiritual grass that was submerged by the resentful spirits. He couldn't help but fall into silence.
Well, it looked like he didn't need to worry about this little magical herb, it should be able to blend in just fine in the mist.
Su Ci withdrew his gaze and looked at the green river bank, and his mood became relaxed.
The iron-eating beast is no longer in the same place as yesterday.
He released his spiritual consciousness and soon found its figure in the bamboo forest.
The bamboo reproduces at a fast speed. Under the stimulation of spiritual energy and with sufficient nutrients and water, it has now spread from the initial small clump to form a small bamboo forest.
These bamboos are still slender and tender, which are naturally the best food for giant pandas.
In addition to bamboo, the river bank is now planted with fruits and vegetables, which not only provides sufficient food but also a rich variety.
For the giant pandas who have lived in the red fog for many years, relying on hunting giant insects and only having one meal a day, this place is simply a paradise in their dreams.
At this moment, the giant panda, who had just eaten a full stomach of tender bamboo, fruits and vegetables, had returned to the bamboo forest and was fast asleep.
Only when Su Ci and A Yan appeared did the giant panda, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly open its eyes.
It first rolled to the side, then stood up and took a defensive posture. However, when it saw Su Ci and A Yan clearly, it was slightly startled, obviously recognizing Su Ci.
During this period, Su Ci would go to the pure land on the other side of the mountains every day to check the growth of the Star Chain Fruit and place the fruits there. The giant panda also went there every day to find food, so it naturally remembered this young human.
It hesitated and retracted its defensive posture, but did not completely let down its guard.
Surviving alone in the red fog, the only way to survive in such an environment is to remain vigilant enough.
A Yan was also looking at the giant panda.
Suddenly there was another person competing for Susu's attention, so he was naturally not very happy, but he did not have much hostility towards this giant panda.
Anyway, they are all just passers-by. The only one who will always be with Susu is him, and only him.
Thinking of this, A Yan withdrew his gaze and began to wander around in the small bamboo forest, collecting fresh bamboo shoots.
Bamboo shoots can not only be stir-fried and used in soups, but can also be used as fillings.
Although there is no rice and wheat now, the rice potatoes are ripe. After being dug out, they can be dried and ground into powder. Whether they are used to make potato rice cakes wrapped in skin or made into sweet potato noodles, they are both delicious.
Of course, the easiest way to eat it is to steam it like taro, or make it into sweet soup.
A Yan was thinking about how to make various delicious dishes, while Su Ci squatted down in front of the giant panda.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Su Ci asked.
The giant panda didn't react much, but the obvious flashes of emotion in its eyes let Su Ci know that this giant panda still had some consciousness.
Maybe it was the effect of the Star Chain Spirit Fruit, its condition was at least better than when we first met.
"Don't be afraid, I don't intend to hurt you." Su Ci said.
The giant panda blinked and looked at the thin young human in front of it. Although it became thin due to long-term hunger, its skeleton was there. Even if it stood on all fours, it was almost as tall as the young man.
And Su Ci continued: "Of course, if you want to stay, you must help with the work."
The giant panda looked at him in disbelief, but finally nodded and sat down on the spot.
In addition to those spiritual fruits, when it was washed down the waterfall, it was this human and his companions who saved it, so it should do something in return.
Su Ci watched as the giant panda completely subsided in its ferocity. Although it was a little skinny, it still looked honest and cute, so he nodded slightly.
However, looking at the giant panda's huge size, he frowned and cast a spell over it.
In the light of the magic, the giant panda's body slowly shrank, and finally its sitting height was only as high as Su Ci's chest.
The giant panda couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Looking at the scenery around it that suddenly became larger and larger, it soon realized that it was itself that was getting smaller.
It stood up incredibly, and then found that when it stood on all fours, it was lower than its sitting view.
Sensing the panda's confusion and panic, Su Ci reached out and gently rubbed the panda's head.
Perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, the giant panda's fur does not feel as soft and fine as that of the red tiger, but its ears are still quite comfortable to touch.
The giant panda, whose fur was stroked without paying attention, couldn't help but raise its head and showed a ferocious expression to Su Ci.
Su Ci smiled slightly and said, "As long as you silently recite the word 'recovery' in your mind, you will be able to change back. When you become smaller, just recite the word 'transformation' silently."
The giant panda understood what he said and did as he said subconsciously.
Sure enough, after it silently recited it, its body really returned to its original size in an instant.
“Bing!”
The giant panda cried out happily.
Su Ci looked at it and warned, "You will usually move around the riverbank in your reduced form. You can eat as much vegetables, fruits, and bamboo as you want, but you must not waste them or harm the plants recklessly. Do you understand?"
Looking at the young man's serious expression, even though he looked so thin, the giant panda still felt scared unconsciously.
It nodded its big head and its body shrank again.
Finally, it looked up at Su Ci with a questioning look in its eyes.
Looking at the giant panda's skinny body, Su Ci couldn't bear to squeeze it directly, so he said, "Take care of it for a while. When you are well, I will tell you what to do."
"Ying!" The giant panda responded and then sat down again.
After shrinking in size, the giant panda relaxed and lost most of its ferocity, and its red eyes became gentle.
If you eat well and take good care of yourself for a period of time, you should look good.
Su Ci couldn't help but reached out and touched its ears again, whispering, "Get well soon."
“Bing!”
This time, the giant panda did not show him a ferocious expression. Instead, it nodded its head innocently. After Su Ci finished speaking, it obediently grabbed a handful of tender bamboo, skillfully picked the bamboo leaves, and stuffed them into its mouth to chew.
The eyes hidden in the black fur narrowed slightly, revealing an expression of enjoyment.
Su Ci smiled, and at this time, A Yan also came back.
He harvested a lot of bamboo shoots this time, and before leaving with Su Ci, he left two for the giant panda.
Watching the two people walking towards the teleportation array, the giant panda sitting behind them waved at them in a humane manner.
The river bank is rich in spiritual energy. As long as it continues to live here, even without Su Ci's intervention, it should be able to wait for the day when it fully recovers its consciousness.
"Susu, that iron-eating beast... do you like it?" After returning to the dormitory, A Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Very cute." Su Ci replied casually.
Then he left the dormitory and went to find Guo Hui.
A Yan looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the pair of pointed furry ears on his head.
So... is it time to change your ears again?
When Su Ci and Guo Hui met, a spaceship left Base 24 and headed towards Base 26.
The spacecraft carried the members of the action team sent by Base 26 to be stationed at Base 24. Although the small garlic had differentiated into new cloves, it was not yet mature.
After the red fog returned to Base 26, monsters invaded one after another, bringing tremendous pressure to the base defenders.
Except for Base 24, most of the other bases on Prison Star fell into the same situation. Naturally, Yun Zixu and others had to go back to guard their own bases.
Anyway, with the breeder Su in charge, Base 24 is now completely different from what it used to be and doesn't need so many people at all.
On the way back, Yun Zixu was thinking about how to poach people.
At this time, he heard a team member say: "Does anyone know Song Zehe from our base? He seems to be a new recruit."
"What do you want him for?"
"Just when I left, Base 24 asked me to deliver a box of Star Chain Fruit to him, saying it was sent by Breeder Su."
Yun Zixu, who was originally careless, couldn't help but sit up straight.
