Chapter 223 New Discovery
"Hello, Miss Farmer, have you rested well? Is there anything we can do for you?" Seeing Josh walking out of the tent, they quickly ran over to ask what she needed.
This time they were able to escape unscathed thanks to Miss Qiao Xi's help, which allowed them to recover from their injuries early, so that they were in full condition to face the fierce battle.
"You don't have to be like this. We can just get along like we did before. Don't be so polite." Qiao Xi smiled and waved her hand. She was a little uncomfortable with their sudden politeness.
"Hey, okay, got it." They saluted Josh and agreed with a smile.
"I want to ask you, I heard that those strange beasts once used healing crops to recover, is it true?"
"Ah, Miss Farmer, you've heard about this, too. It's true, but we haven't seen it with our own eyes. My friend from the team next door said he saw it with his own eyes. The swamp wolf dug out a bunch of bumpy balls from the swamp. After eating them, it was like a shiver, and strength was instantly restored."
"Not only that, I heard that after eating it, his fighting power instantly increased, which scared them all."
"Didn't the team that went out to sweep the area just now also search the swamp ahead? I heard they found the thing. Let's wait and see. Maybe there will be news this afternoon."
You and I talked back and forth and told him everything that Josh didn't know.
Josh was quite interested in healing crops. Since he was planning to research and produce medical equipment such as bandages and Band-Aids, he had to pay attention to collecting other healing crops to enrich the farm production line.
But they were right, since a team had been brought back, Josh could just sit back and wait for news.
However, it was not her character to just sit there and wait for death. She had to find Irene and ask her when to start exploring outside. She had to go look for truly valuable crops.
"Thank you for telling me this. Go and have a rest. I won't disturb you anymore." After thanking them, Josh hurried to the tent of Irene's collection team, looking for her.
But unfortunately, Irene was not there and Josh arrived a step late.
"Captain Irene took his men out early in the morning and may not return until daylight is over."
Well, in that case, Josh planned to go back and have lunch, then take Big Star and the others out for a look.
The lunch provided by the army was actually not bad, but after being used to eating all kinds of homemade dishes and not having eaten them for many days, Josh was still a little greedy.
Fortunately, Josh stuffed a lot of bread, salty sauce and canned food into the iron walnut.
Paired together, Josh had a great meal.
After eating, I called back the pigs, rats and other naughty kids who were having fun, and prepared to take them out for a look.
Seeing that Josh was about to leave the camp, Baby Face and several other soldiers quickly changed into their combat equipment, followed Josh, and prepared to go out with him.
They were soldiers arranged by the legion to take care of them, and Josh did not refuse. After all, going out with her would not require him to do any hard work or dangerous things, and he would just have to take a walk a little further away.
Zongzong followed at a low altitude all the way. After spending nearly half a month here, its condition was exceptionally good when it returned to the battlefield. Its sharp claws and beak, as well as the fluctuating attribute power around its wings and body, further enhanced its deterrent power.
I walked out all the way without encountering any strange beasts.
Instead, I encountered a large furry creature that was huge and kept eating.
"Big Star!" Qiao Xi leaped and threw himself onto Big Star's thick back.
I've been feeding it a lot these days.
Although the food in the secret realm cannot replenish attribute energy, it contains all the necessary nutrients. It has only been a few days, and Josh feels that the big star seems to have become wider again.
Will this really prevent me from getting fatty liver?
"Hulu~" The big star slowly stood up and greeted everyone. It was waiting for Qiao Xi here on purpose, not because it was greedy.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say!" Qiao Xi smiled and pinched the fat ring on Big Xingxing's belly. It was soft and it must be very comfortable to lie on it.
During the past two days, when the aftermath of the war was being cleaned up, there was no need to hurry and Josh had no special needs. The big star, who was not afraid of any beast and could fight alone, started to look for food on his own, which was also a way for Josh to check the surrounding environment in advance.
It had a general idea of the attributes of the crops around it that Josh might need, so it led everyone straight there.
Not all crops with different attributes can be domesticated to suit farm cultivation, and not all crops with different attributes can be used by humans.
There are many attribute crops that have abundant attribute energy, but once they are picked or cut, they begin to lose energy rapidly. Some can neither be eaten nor used. In short, they cannot be utilized. Such attribute crops are useless and are not needed on farms.
All the branches and bushes that blocked the road along the way were cut down in advance by the baby-faced warriors, clearing a clear path for Josh. He could go wherever he wanted, feeling very comfortable.
After the battle, there were indeed fewer strange beasts.
Qiao Xi walked very far before he saw a few strange beasts. The fog outside was thicker than that inside the camp. It was already getting thicker even though it was still daytime.
Fortunately, Josh was prepared. Each person and each animal was given a palm-sized sandwich bread filled with baked beans in tomato sauce, which was stuffed full so that no one could see it.
But after all, it was fog, and not simply the dark sky that affected the vision, so everyone had to be extra careful when moving around.
"Golden lockberry!" Josh finally found a shrub that interested her and was suitable for growing on the farm.
There are big golden berries on it, so Josh temporarily calls it golden lockberry because the leaves of these small shrubs look like small locks.
Rich and refreshing attribute energy lingered among the bushes. Josh tasted one and found it sweet and sour. The refreshing aroma dispelled the rotten smell from the swamp that was floating around the moment it entered his mouth.
The attribute crops produced in these secret realms can only produce attribute energy that can be absorbed by everyone if they are brought back to the main world and replanted to bloom and bear fruit.
The specific properties are still unclear, but Josh thinks it is very good and may consider taking some back to the farm to grow.
Josh got down to work right away. He gave each of the men a double-headed hoe and a small axe. Yes, the hardworking farmers there would never forget to bring their own food.
Such shrubs should be able to be propagated by cuttings. Qiao Xi instructed the soldiers to dig out the roots of the new shrubs, gently cut off the thick branches, and arrange them neatly.
Qiao Xi was not greedy. She asked the soldiers to stop when she saw that there were almost two large bundles of branches. She was not going to take them back to sell, just enough for planting.
Then collect all the branches and shrubs and continue observing.
