Chapter 226 Discovery
"Josh, you said that the Moon Bear once ate one. I wonder if there are any changes to it?" Irene asked.
Qiao Xi shook his head. "No, I asked Big Star if it felt uncomfortable after coming back just now, and it said it didn't feel uncomfortable at all. To it, this is just an ordinary fruit that is not very delicious. The little bit of attribute energy that fluctuates in it is better than nothing for it."
"Do you have any more fruits for the experiment?" asked Archer.
"There is only one left as a backup. We need more of these exotic fruits for research. Without a large amount of raw materials, we can't go on." Ellie's face was not looking good. The quantity was too small and it was not enough.
"Continue to send people to search for this fruit thoroughly. Send out all the earth-attributed monsters in the camp that have no missions. The more we find, the better." Griffith gave the final order.
Over the next two days, the soldiers in the camp took turns going out to hunt the strange beasts, with the sweeping distance becoming farther and farther. The valley that Qiao Xi had discovered before was also flattened.
However, the fruits found were becoming fewer and fewer, as if they were being destroyed intentionally. Often, when earth-attributed monsters discovered fruits underground, they were already rotten when they were dug out.
The swamps were foul and smelly, and the fruit would quickly rot if disturbed.
But there was no sign of that strange swamp blood deer.
Fortunately, with the strong support of the Legion, Irene and other botanists finally made significant discoveries in their research.
Wisdom! After a powerful water-kissed leech took two exotic fruits, its blood and qi surged while its life force rapidly decreased. They promptly used expensive advanced life potions on it and successfully pulled it back from the brink of death.
After it regained consciousness, the animal speaker in the collection team discovered that it could communicate normally with humans and monsters. It was no longer the uncommunicative face it had before, as if it had been replaced by a strange beast.
If they hadn't been here all day, they would never have believed this was true.
Wisdom, this is a mysterious word, it belongs to the realm of God, no one dares to say that they can give wisdom to the chaotic beasts, what a fantastic thing it is!
But they did it, and Irene looked at the remaining exotic fruits with fiery eyes, a thousand thoughts in her mind.
After hearing the news, Griffith and Archer rushed to the experimental tent where the water leech was. The two powerful warriors stood in front of it. According to the nature of the strange beasts, they would only be angered by the strange and powerful breath, and then they would attack without fear of death.
But it didn't, this water-kissed leech didn't. It even moved closer to Irene and the others in a humane way, trying to hide beside them.
This doesn't look like a strange beast but more like a slightly ferocious-looking monster. It is indeed different. Griffith and Archer both know in their hearts that from this moment on, the greatest wealth of the Secret Realm of Thick Fog has been obtained by them.
Through the communication between the beast whisperer and the water-kissed leech, everyone wanted to know who had formulated the direction of their previous actions.
It’s not that they didn’t believe Josh, but they had already cleared the surrounding area in the past two days and had never seen the swamp blood deer again.
This made them wonder if it had been eliminated. After all, they had encountered many swamp blood deer in recent days, and maybe one of them was the wise swamp blood deer.
But Josh and Irene both denied it. It didn't look like that. The corpses of the swamp blood deer looked very dull, without any liveliness in their eyes. When attacked, they just resisted frantically like ordinary beasts, without showing any intelligence. It wasn't them, absolutely not.
This made Griffith more and more interested in this evil swamp blood deer, and he was determined to catch the wise deer.
Unfortunately, the memory of the previously unintelligent beast was very vague, and it only vaguely remembered that there was indeed a beast as smart as it was now.
The shadow deep in its memory also looked very much like a deer, but it didn't know where the deer would appear. It shook its head and couldn't say anything else.
Then the blood-red eyes stared at the bloody animal leg in Irene's hand, their greedy and bloodthirsty nature did not change.
——
Josh has been staying in the camp for two days. If he doesn't go out, he feels like he's going to be bored to death. He doesn't know how Irene and the others are doing with their research. This is not their normal outing, so he doesn't want to disturb her.
I simply put on my equipment and went to the river valley I had visited that day.
Could it be that the swamp blood deer really ran away?
Qiao Xi felt that it shouldn't be that simple. If it was scared away easily, how could it be called an intelligent beast? Moreover, beasts are vengeful and cruel, so there is no way it would not come back for revenge.
They traveled light and even rejected several soldiers who wanted to follow Josh. They thought that too many people would make too much noise, so she and the Brown-headed Vulture would be enough. Otherwise, if the whole family went out like last time, it would be easy to be discovered.
But she couldn't win over the stubborn baby-faced warriors, so she finally took two of them with her.
Let Big Star take the other little guys out to find food. They have all gained a lot of weight recently, especially the digging pigs. They are completely different from before, with their bellies drooping to the ground.
With all sorts of thoughts in their minds, the three of them moved very quickly. This time, the baby-faced soldiers carried their reconnaissance tool kits. They still came to the same dense bush forest, but it was now a bit messy due to being destroyed, with dead branches, leaves and mud everywhere. It seemed that the soldiers had searched the place extensively.
However, the chaotic scene made it easier for them to hide. Josh walked along the bushes and into the valley little by little.
What's more, even the relatively thick soil has been turned over, just like it had been plowed by a cow. The earth-attributed monsters in the legion can still plow the land after they retire. They seem to be very talented.
Josh walked forward, and the two soldiers followed behind to clear the footsteps and smells of the few people, so as not to disturb anything. After all, there were fewer people this time, so they had to be more cautious.
When I walked to the place where the strange beasts had stood before, it had already been cleared and there was nothing there.
Josh recalled that when they last separated, the swamp blood deer seemed to disappear from behind the big banyan tree, and she looked towards the tree.
After walking around the big banyan tree, Qiao Xi found nothing. Well, no, she did gain something. She found a few white hairs that fell at the roots of the tree. They should be from a swamp blood deer.
This is more or less a gain, yes, that's right.
She bent down to pick up the little tuft of hair. Huh? Josh's hand touched nothing. This was not the bottom of the tree. This was empty!
She probed with her hand. It was so big that she wondered if she could jump in and take a look.
Sorry, babies, I can only update once today!
