Chapter 11: So-called Offerings “Our world is very broad, very vast…
"Our world is very broad, very vast, dangerous and strange." Uncle He Qi said as he gestured.
"You just saw it. Black Dog and his men ate weird things. It was just a Baiyou-level human leader. A head dog could kill it."
"A Gui and A Xi may have seen more usually. After all, the villages outside are different from He Village. You have seen less weird things in Yelu. You have been protected by your parents since you were a child. Now that Ye Village is gone, you were brought to He Village. He Village is protected by Bronze Mirror Lady, so the weird things outside dare not come in."
"Even when we went to Qiang City, there was a guard team protecting you." He Qi couldn't help but sigh.
"It's also our fault. We were afraid that your parents' death would have had too much of an impact on you, so we tried not to mention anything weird in front of you." He Qi knew that it was wrong to do so, but his sister left and only a little nephew came back.
No one knows what the He family members were thinking when they went to look for Ye Lu and saw the tiny child panicking and getting frightened at something strange.
His brother, He Si, has always been a steady and silent person. He likes to know everything clearly. He is a cruel person who never blinks when facing the younger generation because he is afraid of weirdness. When facing the matter of Lu Wazi, he also shows a tacit attitude. He will raise him first and bring him up.
It’s not like they can’t afford it anyway.
The awakening talent has been delayed because of this problem.
It was also because Lu Wazi's attitude towards weirdness was not as fearful as before that they decided to awaken at once. Facts have proved that they did a good job. What He Qi has to do now is to tell his nephew some information that he didn't know before.
It seemed to be true. Ye Lu listened to Uncle He Qi's words and subconsciously flipped through his memory. He found that there was indeed an extra part in his memory. In his memory, there were vines all over the mountains, the squeaking sounds of devouring flesh and blood, and the expressions of his parents as they tried their best to send him away.
Ye Lu paused and said nothing.
The Ghost Scholar and the Playful Man have no memories at all, but they still pretend to know everything. They can only deal with it based on their previous experiences in breaking into those weird dungeons (they are all weird and should not be much different).
"What about the strange plants and beasts?" Ye Lu was silent, and the ghost scholar asked on behalf of his Taoist master.
"Seriously speaking, strange plants and strange beasts are also a kind of strange thing. You may not have known this before. Maybe those villages outside have many different opinions about strange plants and strange beasts. In fact, in the eyes of the villages that have tamed strange plants and strange beasts, they are all the same, but the strange plants and strange beasts that can be tamed are extremely special." He Qi also knew everything, or was obedient. In his eyes, there was nothing that could not be said.
"They also exude strange power, but their strange power is more vibrant and full of a special aura."
"Besides that, there is another more important difference." When He Qi said this, his tone paused. Ye Lu didn't even bother to think about his memory problem, and instead devoted himself to the words of Uncle He Qi.
He Qi was satisfied to see two heads approaching. His expression immediately became serious, and he said very seriously: "Although strange plants and strange beasts also like flesh and blood, they prefer strange flesh and blood to human flesh and blood."
"The strange plants and beasts have thus become connected to the human race. Since ancient times, the tribe has been providing for the strange plants and beasts, hunting strange flesh and blood for them. The strange plants and beasts produce fruits, branches, leaves, roots, fur, scales, horns, and even flesh and blood to assist humans in their cultivation. We generally call them strange food."
"Strange food can be divided into edible strange food and used strange materials. Generally speaking, edible strange food is better than used strange materials and has a wider range of uses."
"Is this the external force you just mentioned, uncle?" Ye Lu asked.
"Of course, didn't you get the green millet distributed by the village?" He Qi said as a matter of course.
Green millet was delivered last night by a member of the guard team in three boxes. Ye Lu's box was the largest, and the ghost scholar's was medium-sized. The guard team also sent dried meat. This time, Xi Ming had the most dried meat. It was quite busy at the time. Ye Lu took the package, took a hurried look at it, and only had time to say thank you before being ordered by the ghost scholar to work everywhere.
Then it was forgotten in the carriage.
Ye Lu's eyes wandered for a moment. He now didn't know where the ghost scholar put the package.
Ye Lu didn't say anything, so He Qi thought his nephew didn't take it seriously. His expression suddenly became serious, and he said very seriously: "Don't compare white millet with green millet."
"White millet is barely even considered Baiyou-level strange food. The truly useful one is green millet. The reason why our village has always been able to maintain its upper hand in the surrounding areas is because our green millet is of Huangli level."
"The white millet we are planting now is just the seeds grown from the ramets of green millet. It can only grow a little bit."
"In addition to the power of the monster, the real green millet can also strengthen the body and stabilize the meridians. It can't be said that it can pull up mountains and rivers, but it can lift a few tripods. If you eat a lot, you can fight against the monsters." He Qi straightened his upper body and emphasized: "Many villages come to our village every year to bring so much food. Why is it for?"
"It's all for the green millet. Unfortunately, we have already agreed to exchange with the caravan, so there is not much left for them." He Qi couldn't help but sigh when he said this.
Ye Lu could tell Uncle He was serious and knew he had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "No, no, I was just too busy last night and didn't have time to eat."
"Anyway, I'll have enough free time from now on, so I can eat and help with my cultivation in the carriage." They will all be fleeing from the famine, and except for the time they stop to rest, they will probably be in the car for the rest of the time. They have three people taking turns, so everyone has a lot of free time.
He Qi thought about it and agreed.
The other kids in the village haven't started practicing yet, so they probably have the same idea as his nephew.
"Then uncle, how do we usually get these strange plants and strange beasts?" The usefulness of white millet is needless to say. Ye Lu can now recall the surprise he felt when he ate white millet. He couldn't even imagine how useful the green millet as the mother plant is and how strong the strange power it contains is. He was envious when he saw it.
Ye Lu felt that if they ate the strange food, they might be able to recover their original strength one day.
The only drawback is that the yield of green millet is too small, and it is not enough to eat. After all, there is only one green millet plant, and the villagers have to use it first for the people who have just awakened, and they have to exchange it for other strange foods. It is very tight, not to mention that the green millet has now turned into seedlings, and it is obvious that it can no longer produce millet.
Ye Lu was envious, but he could only think of finding other strange plants on his own. Let's not talk about the strange beasts for now. Didn't he hear at the meeting that it was said that taming strange beasts requires skills, and currently only the King's Court of Ten Thousand Beasts and a very small number of villages knew how to do it.
Ye Lu just wanted to find a good strange plant to replenish his body.
"Hahaha..." He Qi laughed very cheerfully and agreed with his nephew's words. When he first knew about Qing Mi Zi, he had the same idea as Ye Lu and said, "Of course I'll go find him."
"There are so many weird things out there. You can always find weird plants and beasts among them. Find them, defeat them, and tame them. Do you know why Qian Bacun agreed to your proposal of the Forbidden Stone Ridge?" Ye Lu and the Ghost Scholar raised their heads and looked at He Qi. They already had an idea in their minds. He Qi nodded and said, "It's because there are not many people in the Forbidden Stone Ridge."
"There are many strange things there, so the chances of finding strange plants are high."
"As long as we find one more strange plant, no matter how much suffering we endure while fleeing the famine, it will be worth it."
"The taming method is different in each village, but they are all similar. Just beat them up, and then hunt for weird flesh and blood to feed them. After feeding for a long time, the weird plants will naturally understand. According to the caravan, some high-level weird plants have developed feelings for the tribe because they have been fed by the tribe for a long time. Sometimes they will even protect the village when the weird attacks."
Perhaps it was because the two children had a good attitude towards learning, He Qi was very happy when he spoke, and he also told them all the rumors he had heard from the caravan.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar seemed to be thinking about something.
He Qi saw that the two men had listened to his words and thought that his goal had been achieved, so he felt even better. So he patted his butt and prepared to leave.
"Let's go back first. You guys should practice well. Only by practicing can you find the strange plant."
He Qi threw down these words before leaving.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar did not speak.
In fact, Ye Lu was indeed relieved. He looked at the wooden box in front of him that had just been taken out by the ghost scholar. When the wooden box was opened, it was full of green millet that looked like green jade and exuded a strong mysterious power.
"I'll practice first!" Ye Lu was also worried about the ghost scholar who had poor talent. Since the ghost scholar had a poor brain, he had to go first.
The ghost scholar frowned and was about to say something when he noticed that his master narrowed his eyes and paused. He knew that this meant that Ye Lu would not allow anyone to refute him.
Ye Lu turned his gaze back to the wooden box in front of him and thought for a moment. He reached out and picked up a green millet and swallowed it into his mouth. The next second, there was a "boom" and countless strange forces suddenly exploded in his body.
Ye Lu sat cross-legged and practiced with his eyes closed. He constantly controlled the strange power in his body not to become too intense while recalling He Qi's words.
Practice according to instinct.
Ye Lu fumbled and began to practice. He didn't know when, the restlessness in his heart was calmed down, he felt calm, and his strange power did not explode like it did at the beginning.
Ye Lu involuntarily followed a certain intuition and began to walk. In his mind, the layer of white mist that had appeared before appeared again.
Three tree shadows were swaying in the white mist; Ye Lu could even see the nearest one very clearly. The moment the white mist appeared, those strange forces seemed to have found their target and rushed towards it madly.
The aura around Ye Lu began to rise slowly.
Outside, the ghost scholar was staring at the Taoist robed young man in the center's every move, until the latter's breath rose, then he paused and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Is this done?
After a moment, the young man in Taoist robe slowly opened his eyes.
Ye Lu did not rush to speak. He lowered his head and opened his hands. White mist condensed, and a dark and shiny seed appeared in his palm.
