Chapter 224 Tree Hole
When the little fox saw Di Youlin's figure, it stood up immediately. Looking at the dozen mutant wolves surrounding Chen Nan, the little fox raised its front paws, and a white light flashed. The dozen mutant wolves were immediately beheaded.
The little fox glanced at several other places and killed the still mad mutant wolves one by one.
Like the little fox, Yun Han also began to slaughter the mutant wolves.
With the fate of Yun Han and the little fox, the originally large wolf pack was reduced to only a few members in an instant.
Ning Xuan and Di Youlin landed. Ning Xuan frowned because of the strong smell of blood.
The little fox jumped into Ning Xuan's arms skillfully. Lin Mo, Yun Han, Chen Nan, Qing He, Jiu Wei and Lan Xin all saluted Ning Xuan.
"Master, our vehicle is still behind. That side is not a battlefield and is relatively clean. I'll take you there." Seeing Ning Xuan frown, Lin Mo immediately stepped forward and said.
They had just encountered an ambush by mutant wolves. In order to protect the vehicles, they lured most of the wolves away and brought them here as a battlefield.
"Okay." The battlefield still needed to be cleaned up, so Ning Xuan followed Lin Mo to the vehicle.
There were hundreds of wolf corpses. Even though everyone was very skilled in dealing with the corpses of exotic animals, it still took a lot of effort to clean up the spoils.
The convoy set off again. According to the map, Ning Xuan led them to the first place, which was the large mushroom nest.
There are many kinds of mushrooms in the mushroom nest, and most of them are very delicate. When picking them, you need to be very careful to ensure that the mushrooms are intact.
After arriving at the destination, Ning Xuan first introduced to everyone the types, uses and picking methods of these mushrooms.
For example, the mushroom that reflects blue light spots is called luminous agaric. The cap is covered with phosphorescent spots, and night vision potion can be extracted from it. When picking, be sure not to damage the cap. Once damaged, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The red and round ones are called blood-clotting mushrooms. They secrete blood-colored gel on their umbrella surface, which can stop bleeding and regenerate tissue in just three seconds. When picking them, do not damage the roots and dig away the soil together.
This is called the phantom mist mushroom, which can release mist-like hallucinogenic spores and can also be dug up along with the roots and soil.
This is called borneol fungus. Its head looks like a tumor. When you cut it open, you can get a fragrant crystal. You can add it to any ingredient when cooking to enhance the flavor. It is considered a precious spice.
While picking these mushrooms, they encountered three waves of attacks from strange beasts. These times, no one else had to take action. The little fox intimidated the entire audience alone and prevented the three waves of strange beasts from approaching the mushroom nest.
"Little fox, you are so awesome!" Ning Xuan praised the little fox in an exaggerated manner.
The little fox barked proudly a few times, and dragged the black bear beast in front of Ning Xuan as if presenting a treasure. It cut open the black bear's abdomen with one claw and took out a bloody bear gall. The little fox knew that Ning Xuan liked and was good at refining medicine, and bear gall was also a precious medicinal ingredient, so the little fox gave it to Ning Xuan as a gift.
Ning Xuan was indeed very happy. She took the bear gall, put it in a box, and stored it in the ring space.
Before one crisis was over, another one arose. Just as Ning Xuan put away the bear gall, she heard the sound of metal colliding behind her.
It turned out that three iron-beaked falcons swooped down and attacked Lin Mo and others who were picking mushrooms. Their cold iron-like claws were about to grab Lin Mo's head. The little fox rushed over like lightning, and its cold iron-like claws flew out a string of sparks.
"Watch out for their feathers!" Before Ning Xuan finished her words, dozens of black feathers were already pouring down like a rainstorm. The golden pattern on the fox's forehead suddenly lit up, and a light green gust of wind rose from its body, crushing all the poisonous feathers. The broken feathers fell on the ground and corroded into wisps of green smoke, and the grass and trees turned yellow in an instant.
These black feathers are actually poisonous.
The purple-striped python that had been quietly lurking nearby took the opportunity to leap up, sweeping its tail across to shatter the rocks.
Ning Xuan leaped up to the treetops with all her might, and the jade pendant on her waist glowed as she formed seals with her bare hands. She had originally planned to attack.
But the little fox had already dealt with the three air forces, and opened its mouth to spit out fox fire, spraying it towards the giant python.
Originally, the giant python opened its mouth to spray poisonous mist, but the fox fire thrown out by the little fox poured into its throat first, and the poisonous mist in the giant python's mouth was blocked. At the same time, the giant python rolled violently as if it had suffered great pain. In order to prevent the giant python from rolling into the mushroom nest, the little fox came in an instant, waved its sharp claws, and cut off the snake's head. The next claw was to cut open the python's belly, took out a bright purple snake pill, and presented it to Ning Xuan like a treasure.
"The inner elixir of the purple python? This is also a good thing." Ning Xuan took out a jade bottle with surprise and put the inner elixir in it.
"You are a connoisseur of good things. Every time you send me something, it's a good thing." Ning Xuan gently stroked the soft fur behind the little fox's ears. The little fellow narrowed his golden eyes in comfort. The tip of his tail wrapped around the girl's wrist and shook it gently. He looked coquettish, proud and complacent at the same time.
It took about two hours for everyone to clean up all the valuable things in this mushroom nest. Chen Nan straightened his sore waist. Although he felt very tired, digging such things was like an addiction. During the picking process, his heart was filled with satisfaction.
"That's great, master. We will never lack mushrooms for making soup in the future." Jiuwei said happily to Ning Xuan.
After all, those special mushrooms with magical effects are still a minority. Most mushrooms have super high edible value. When it was time for dinner, Jiuwei made a pot of soup with the picked mushrooms. The taste was so delicious that it was simply indescribable.
Due to time constraints, they traveled as fast as they could for the rest of the journey, and finally arrived at the tree hole that Ning Xuan had found before dark.
Everyone looked up at the towering tree, and when they heard Ning Xuan say that the tree hole was 30 meters high in the tree, everyone's face showed shock.
The bark of the ancient tree where the tree hole is located is mottled like dragon scales, and it has a bluish-gray metallic luster in the twilight.
Chen Nan touched the crisscrossing grooves on the tree trunk, and the cracks between his fingernails were immediately filled with wet moss. The treetops were completely hidden in the deepening night at a height of 30 meters, and only the hollow sound of the wind could be heard from above.
"This bark is slippery than a mirror. It seems difficult to climb." Lin Mo scraped the tree trunk with his tactical dagger, leaving behind a piece of dark green debris. "Even with climbing claws, it's impossible—"
Suddenly, there were intermittent howling sounds coming from the distant valley. In the gradually darkening night, the roars were particularly far-reaching, and a mutant beast was approaching.
"Take out the climbing rope and climb up along the vines." Ning Xuan released the ghost-faced red vine. The thick vines climbed up along the big tree, and every one meter or so, a rattan ball was formed that could be used as a footrest.
The little fox jumped onto the vine first and quickly climbed up along the vine.
