Chapter 229 Grass Rat
Just like that, Griffith and Archer, who were quite broad-minded, did not mention anything about the strange fruit to Josh, and Josh was happy not to have to share it with them, so he did not say anything.
Both parties seemed to have a tacit understanding and avoided talking about related matters with each other.
However, when Josh went to look for Irene later, he basically couldn't find her. He heard that their collection team had a new mission.
After sweeping away the strange beasts in the surrounding area, the legion began to accelerate its advance into the depths of the foggy secret realm.
Another long journey began, but fortunately Josh was now quite experienced and he never forgot to observe the surrounding environment as he walked.
Even though the entire secret realm is a swamp environment, the biological environment between different areas is still different, and each area has crops with different attributes.
Without Irene's careful guidance, Josh was indeed a little slow in identifying these crops, but with the big stars around, their perception of the properties of crops was much stronger than Josh's, and they found much more valuable things along the way than in the previous times when they moved the camp.
The only pity is that no new healing crops have been found. Previously, we thought those fruits were healing crops, but now research has found that they only consume vitality to achieve the effect of replenishing qi and blood, and are not real healing crops.
Josh felt a little uncomfortable with hearing it called "Kiwi fruit, kiwi fruit" all the time. He thought of a name for it. What should he call it?
Well, the fruit of wisdom, since it can awaken wisdom, it is called the fruit of wisdom.
Although the mortality rate after eating it may be higher than the awakening rate, but selling things requires a gimmick. First, shout out the powerful name, and as for what happens next, we'll talk about it when the time comes.
“Josh, Josh, are you going out alone again? Take me with you!” Silla hugged her soft body and ran over from a distance.
When Qiao Xi saw her, he lowered his head and wanted to pinch his eyebrows.
Ever since she knew that Irene had a mission and couldn't go out to collect with Josh, Silla consciously took on Irene's role and always ran to find Josh to go out with her.
But the knowledge she possessed was only the difference between a kindergarten student and a doctorate student compared to the knowledgeable Irene. Josh was led astray by her several times.
I originally thought that college students taking professional courses would have more ways to identify these unfamiliar plants than Josh, who is an amateur.
As a result, what made Josh speechless was that her trump card was to take out her specially made expensive communicator and scan the plants. If there was a record, it would show the approximate variety. If it was a new crop and there was no information in the database, then she could only stare at Josh.
And I don’t know if it’s because the scanning function is not very strong, but it can’t accurately scan many plants that look similar. It also misled Sira before, causing her to pinch the poisonous thorn hemp directly.
Josh didn't even want to think about Silla's high-pitched voice at that moment, which instantly attracted several officers from the legion, who rushed to the two of them to check the situation.
He should be the defender assigned to Xila.
However, after seeing that Silla was only pricked by the plant, they were obviously relieved and quickly disappeared in front of the two.
However, Qiao Xi clearly saw the corners of those people's mouths trying to hold back their smiles, and the headache they felt when they saw Silla causing trouble.
It seems that they have also been tortured a lot.
However, playing around is just one thing, but Josh is not the kind of person who would sit there and do nothing while watching his friends get hurt.
But she had never been pricked before, and she didn't know how to deal with this situation. Those officers ran too fast. Looking back at the burrowing pigs and burrowing rats, they were all pretending to look for food and running away.
So Josh thought of a way and asked Silla to put his hand into the mud. The cold muddy water quickly relieved the burning pain in Silla's hand.
After this incident, she trusted Josh more. In her opinion, the two of them had become good friends who shared weal and woe.
There were more visits to Josh.
Qiao Xi felt tired and unloved, and prayed silently in his heart that Silla would not come tomorrow.
In fact, I don’t think Silla is so bad, it’s just that when I go out with her, I always feel a sense of misery, just like taking a child out to play.
It’s so tiring, not only do I have to check the various properties of crops, but I also have to act as her teacher.
Although this slightly satisfied Qiao Xi's desire to be a teacher, she was tired of doing this every day.
"Sira, have you finished your lab assignment?" Josh asked.
In order to make Xila stop harassing them, the teacher in the medical team would give her a hands-on experimental assignment every day.
In a sense, it also relieved Josh of his burden.
Because of the importance of the task, Xila will concentrate on searching for crops with the attributes needed for the task, and today is no exception.
The fresh experimental class assignments made her extremely excited.
"The lab assignment my teacher gave me today is to search for three crops that can be used as medicine and turn them into medicine that can be used directly." Xila was so excited that he couldn't wait to go find them.
"Yeah," Qiao Xi nodded. As long as there was something to do, everyone was busy with their own things, and there was no need to worry about neglecting her.
The crops on the road leading to the next camp were not growing particularly well.
Josh first took a quick look. At first glance, the crops looked lifeless and worthless, so Josh didn't have time to take a closer look. He only took the time to look at the ones that were thick and colorful.
Attribute plants are in a higher class than ordinary plants. Their attribute energy provides them with a lot of invisible help, and they can grab more nutrients during their growth.
The secret realm of dense fog is no exception. Only those plants that grow better and more vigorously are likely to be attribute plants. Others that appear malnourished are basically ordinary crops and are useless.
Josh took advantage of the team's rest time to come out and search for plants, so he didn't have much time.
She directly activated her attribute power and began to listen to the words of these plants. Plants without attribute power usually make meaningless hums.
Only crops that carry attribute powers can produce some clearer sounds.
Josh looked at the several types of crops he had just heard about. Although they contained attribute energy, they were just weeds and were of no use.
Turning around, I saw that Silla was already fighting with a clump of dry grass on the side of the road.
“Silla, what are you doing?” Josh couldn’t help but ask when he saw her face flushed.
"Ah, Josh, you finally came back, come and help me pull it out, this is a grass rat!" Silla pointed at the pot of grass in front of him and said excitedly.
Grass rat? Qiao Xi was shocked. How could there be one in this place?
But she didn't have time to think about it. Seeing that Silla was about to lose strength, she hurried forward to help her.
