Chapter 186
Ran Lie did not gather around Su Ci like the other cubs. He squatted in a corner not far away, looking indifferent, but in fact he was listening with his ears perked up.
As a result, I suddenly heard Su Ci's question.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at who the breeder was asking, and ended up meeting the young man's lazy eyes that looked as if he hadn't woken up yet.
Ran Lie: “…”
Wasn't the question just now directed at him?
"Me?" He pointed at himself.
"Yeah." Su Ci nodded, expressing his affirmation.
“…”
Ran Lie thought about it, stood up and walked over.
Yun Zixu had witnessed the power of the Red Flame Tiger and knew that its flames were the nemesis of monsters. In addition, among all the cubs, only this red-haired boy had tiger ears on his head and tiger stripes on his face, so he guessed his identity.
So after a slight pause, he could reluctantly accept Su Ci's proposal, but it was different for his companions.
Facing their questioning gazes, Ran Lie simply curled his lips and looked at Su Ci and asked, "Why do you want me to go?"
Su Ci didn't answer this question, but looked at Yun Zixu, "You should know the ability of this child. I can let him go to Base 26 to help you, but there are conditions."
"What are the conditions?" Yun Zixu asked.
Su Ci took out a bulging brocade bag from the spirit storage bag, which was filled with the spirit herb seeds that he had collected before.
"Do you know what this is?" he said.
Yun Zixu shook his head.
"The seeds of a mutant plant." Su Ci said.
This time, not only Yun Zixu, but even Wei Ming and Zhuang Shisong, who seemed to be observing plants not far away but were actually paying attention to this side, couldn't help but look over.
They looked at each other, then ran over in a hurry.
After Su Ci accepted them as his students, the green space on the river bank was also under their management.
Although they had previously guessed that Breeder Su should have other planting areas besides the nursery, they had never expected that it would be such a vast expanse of land!
It took them a long time to walk from the beginning to the end of the river, which was over a thousand meters long. The well-grown green plants along the way and the clear water in the river were an eye-opener for them.
If it weren't for the red clouds still hanging in the sky, they would have suspected that they were not on the Prison Planet, but on some agricultural planet.
On the other side of the river, the vast wasteland between the base and the river, which they remembered, was now firmly covered by the vines of the Star Chain Fruit. They finally knew where the mutant Star Chain Fruit that was transplanted by the breeder Su had gone.
It’s just strange that the two star chain fruits in the nursery, which have the same growth characteristics, did not grow to such a large size.
Could it be related to the growth environment?
They made all kinds of assumptions and were eager to go over and study it carefully.
Unfortunately, the fight between giant insects that could be seen from afar calmed them down.
The wasteland was covered with star chain fruits and produced many bright red spiritual fruits, which became the food source of these giant insects and now have become their habitat.
Of course, in addition to insects, some larger creatures are gradually appearing. They feed on insects and spiritual fruits and use this plain as a hunting ground.
But the strange thing is that although there is only a river between them, these creatures did not cross the river and run to the riverside to harm the green space planted by Keeper Su.
Fortunately, the creatures in the wasteland are basically mutant animals, not those strange and terrifying monsters.
So after the initial worry and fear, Zhuang Shisong and Wei Ming quickly adapted to the situation.
They carefully screened the green plants along the river and found only one mutated Selaginella and one mutated green bamboo. Apart from those, no other mutated plants were found.
Both of these plants have very mild temperaments, which are very different from the mutant plants they have encountered and learned about before.
Or, it might be more like the "spiritual plant" that breeder Su mentioned.
There are so many places on the river that are worth studying, and it is naturally impossible for them to study them all in just one week.
And now, looking at the mutant plant seeds in the hands of breeder Su, they were even more stunned, and they really wanted to know what kind of mutant plant seeds these were.
Is it the Selaginella? Or is it the bamboo?
Yun Zixu also knew the importance of mutant plants. He looked at Su Ci and was about to ask something when he saw Su Ci throwing the brocade bag over to him.
Realizing the preciousness of these seeds, Yun Zixu hurriedly caught them.
"This bag of seeds will be sent to Base 26," Su Ci said. "As for its specific effect, you will know it by planting it in the bare soil."
There is such a good thing!
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Keeper Su!" Yun Zixu responded repeatedly.
He thought of the river due east of Base 24 and the green land on the other side of the river. So, could the seeds of this mutant plant be related to the green land?
"Don't thank me yet," Su Ci said. "You can take the seeds, but in a month, I want to see the green space at Base 26 increase to at least 10,000 square meters."
Yun Zixu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by green area?"
Su Ci: "The area of green plants."
Yun Zixu's mouth twitched. "You mean, within a month, Base 26 needs to open up 10,000 square meters of land and plant it all with green plants?"
Su Ci nodded.
Yun Zixu's face turned green. Although the cultivation garden at Base 26 was developing well, it was all using soilless cultivation technology. Forget ten thousand square meters, there wasn't even a single square meter of green space...
Ten thousand square meters a month... This breeder Su really dares to think!
But just when he was about to refute, Yun Zixu couldn't help but look at the bulging brocade bag in his hand. He felt that Keeper Su should not be the kind of person who would speak without a purpose.
Anyone with normal skills would know that this condition is impossible to accomplish, but since he said so, does it prove that...it is actually possible to accomplish?
And the key lies in this packet of mutant plant seeds?
Yun Zixu felt his heart pounding.
As Ran Lie listened to the conversation between the two, his expression gradually calmed down, although he was a little reluctant at first.
He wasn't afraid of facing monsters. After all, he had dared to venture into a giant spider's lair alone, so how could he be afraid of fighting monsters? As long as he treated this as experience and training, there was nothing to be afraid of. Especially now that he knew this matter was related to farming.
but……
Ran Lie glanced at Yun Zixu and the others, pursed his lips, and asked, "Is my trip to Base 26 just to eliminate the monsters? Then when can I come back?"
In the past, he longed for the outside world and wanted to escape all the time, but now, he felt very uncomfortable whenever he thought about leaving the nursery.
Su Ci looked at Ran Lie and chuckled, "Are you reluctant to leave?"
Ran Lie couldn't help but choke.
He snorted softly and turned away. Although he said nothing, his thoughts could be seen from the blush gradually spreading on his face.
Su Ci didn't tease him anymore, but looked at Yun Zixu and said, "Tell me about the situation at your base."
Yun Zixu put the bag of plant seeds away carefully. When he heard Su Ci's question, he described in detail the types and numbers of monsters that Base 26 had encountered recently, as well as the situation of their base's garrison.
Logically speaking, these should be military secrets, but Yun Zixu also knew that if you ask someone to do something for you, you must have the right attitude to do it. Moreover, after he explained the situation, perhaps Keeper Su would feel uneasy and be willing to go with him?
For a moment, the only voice left on the green land was Yun Zixu's narration.
Not only Su Ci and Ran Lie, but also the other cubs around them listened carefully. This was knowledge they had never been exposed to before.
After Yun Zixu finished speaking, he looked at Su Ci with anticipation, but unfortunately he was destined to be disappointed.
"I'll give you a week," he said. "After a week, Base 26 needs to return the cub safely."
Hearing that it would take seven days, Ran Lie pursed his lips slightly, while Yun Zixu and his group also frowned.
The defenders of their 26th base were unable to withstand these monsters, so they now had to seek external assistance. This breeder Su actually asked a cub who was just over ten years old to complete this impossible task within seven days?
Are they too weak, or is this breeder Su too arrogant?
Su Ci ignored their thoughts and continued to look at the wolf-tailed boy next to him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Langze, you should go too."
Because Ran Lie practices Buddhist cultivation and is influenced by the power of the red flame, he is not afraid of the erosion of the red fog. Lang Ze is undoubtedly the one among the current cubs who is the most emotionally stable and the least susceptible to the red fog.
Plus with the garlic spray, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Moreover, the sound illusion technique he practiced can control the most monsters with the least consumption, and when combined with Ran Lie's fire attack, it will have a very good effect.
Su Ci felt relieved when the two of them went out together. As for the other children... they were not suitable to enter the red fog for the time being.
After all, even Rong Heng, who has the calmest personality, will be affected by the red fog, not to mention the other cubs who all have some minor problems to a greater or lesser extent.
Langze, who was suddenly called out, was stunned.
"Ah? I'm going too!" His expression suddenly fell. "Then I won't be able to eat the food cooked by Wenwen and Yanya's mother for a whole week!"
It seemed like facing a monster was not such a scary thing. What he cared about most was not being able to eat delicious food.
Su Ci glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said, "When you come back, I'll ask A Yan to personally prepare a table for you."
The little wolf cub's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Can I eat anything I want?" he asked.
"Yeah." Su Ci nodded, "Whatever you want to eat, you can order whatever you want."
"Yeah!"
Langze cheered and was about to agree when he felt a small hand pulling his sleeve. He lowered his head and saw Zhengxing standing next to him with a slightly pouty mouth.
He immediately calmed down.
Langze scratched his head, looked at Su Ci and said, "Susu, can I take Xingxing with me? Don't worry, I will protect him!"
When Zheng Xing heard Langze say that he wanted to take him with him, he immediately let go of the hand that was holding his sleeve.
But before he could run to hide under the green vines, Langze put his arm around his shoulders and whispered happily in his ear, "Let's go to Base 26, and we can take the spaceship!"
Zheng Xing's feet, which were trying to escape, suddenly stopped.
Lang Ze secretly pointed at Yun Zixu and the others and said in what he thought was a quiet voice, "Did you hear that just now? Their base is very rich, so they must have a lot of warships!"
Yun Zixu: “…”
Such a loud conspiracy, he can hear it, thank you!
Zheng Xing was completely unable to walk. He turned his little face towards Su Ci, and the transition from resistance to expectation took only a blink of an eye.
Su Ci couldn't help laughing.
But who could possibly refuse little Zhengxing? Besides, this child was the most emotionally stable of the cubs.
"Okay." Su Ci said, "But you can have fun, but you can't hurt yourself."
Zheng Xing nodded his head vigorously.
Even if the other cubs wanted to go, they were rejected by Su Ci. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so they should practice hard first.
Therefore, the three cubs who finally decided to go to Base 26 to help were Ran Lie, Lang Ze and Zheng Xing.
No matter how much Yun Zixu felt that one week was too demanding, he had no choice but to agree to it for now.
And when Su Ci taught the three cubs that if Base 26 did not implement its promise to farm, they could refuse to go to war, he really had no other choice but to smile.
Fortunately, after the three children agreed, Li Sinian also volunteered to go together.
"After all, this is the first time for these three children to travel far away, right? It would be better for them to have an adult accompany them." Li Sinian said.
Although he really wanted to stay with his wife and children, he still felt it was unreliable when he saw that the Su breeder actually sent the three cubs out like that.
He didn't know the strength of these three children, but he felt that a guardian must be present.
After all, in some situations, strength alone is not enough.
Su Ci had no objection, but Yun Zixu looked happy.
Even though they were far away on Prison Star, they had heard of the powerful strength of Li Sinian of the Tes Empire. When Yun Zixu's companions heard that he was going with them, they finally relaxed their brows.
Although Beast Blood Warriors are more susceptible to the effects of the Red Mist, this problem is no longer a concern with the Garlic Spray.
With such powerful external support, we are finally more confident in dealing with monsters!
