Chapter 254 Chapter 254 "Ah, probably a kind of...
"Ah, probably a ritual of eating and drinking." Ye Lu knew that if he told the strange plants that the Moon Spirit Ritual was a ritual of worshiping the moon, they wouldn't care or even bother. They were not satisfied with Ye Lu's answer and after a pause, Ye Lu tried his best to change the way they could understand.
Sure enough, Huitao was satisfied with what she heard.
"Those companion strange plants will definitely provide a lot of ferocious beasts' heads to eat." Hui Tao said with certainty. In its opinion, ferocious beasts' heads are the most delicious strange meat.
"..." Ye Lu was silent. He didn't know how to tell Hui Tao. There were very few weirdos with the natural talent of accompanying weird plants on this continent. Most of the participants in the Moon Spirit Ceremony were bipedal beasts. Not to mention that most of the weird plants would not eat the heads of beasts. Only this little weirdo would like to eat the parts with less weird power.
Ye Lu did not say the latter part of the sentence because he was worried that Hui Tao would be upset after hearing it and would do something bad to him.
As time goes by, Huitao's mental state grows at a terrifying speed. Currently, it is at a level slightly higher than the laurel tree and lower than the golden orange. Judging from its growth, it will definitely be the second most intelligent person in Chongshan in the future.
As for being higher than Qingsong, Ye Lu didn't think so. Just looking at the way Huitao admired Qingsong now, Ye Lu felt that it had no intention of competing with Qingsong, and in all likelihood it would be Qingsong's number two lackey in the future.
As for the number one lackey, he has already been taken by Huang Jinju, and it seems that Hui Tao will not be able to snatch him away.
The only unexpected change may be the mental state of his third companion strange plant. If it is smarter and more steady, it may be able to compete with Huitao.
Finally, there was Chongshan Tengman, whom Ye Lu missed very much. Ye Lu paused, remembering the image of Chongshan Tengman as a rough and irritable man in his memory. He silently withdrew the idea of comparing Chongshan Tengman's brains with Huitao. It was nothing, he just felt it was boring. It was not at all that he felt he would definitely be scolded.
Hui Tao had no intention of falling asleep because she was thinking about the heads of so many ferocious beasts that the Fire Ghost Leader had hunted for her. During this period of time, she was only eating the heads and wandering around the mountains. Not only Qingsong and Huang Jinju had a good relationship with her, but even Wu Tao, who was usually taciturn on the top of the mountain, had a good relationship with her.
Of course, there must be Wu Tao here who thinks Hui Tao came from its branch, and they have a special relationship and treat her specially. Anyway, even Wu Tao, who is always ethereal and mysterious, would chat with Hui Tao, not to mention Qingxin Tao. Because of the banquet, Qingxin Tao has become the second most bizarre plant in the mountains after the green pine, which is equivalent to a Qingyou-level laurel tree, and its treatment has skyrocketed.
Qing Xintao treats Huitao like an elder brother treats his younger brother, and always deducts some of his fertilizer, the Guizhu, to give to Huitao.
"A Lu, Wu Tao is about to wake up. What are your plans?" At this time, it has been several years since Hui Tao came down from the branch. Hui Tao asked Ye Lu curiously.
"I know, there's no point in waiting any longer. We failed once not long ago, and I don't think it will succeed this time. The big rabbits' fur has just grown out." Wu Tao had actually woken up a year ago. At that time, Hui Tao was bearing fruit, so Ye Lu went up the mountain to ask Wu Tao whether he chose to bear fruit or to grow seeds.
As a result, Wu Tao chose to breed seeds first.
"Flowering and bearing fruit consume too much strange energy, I don't like it. Besides, I like more of my kind." Wu Tao's ethereal voice sounded, but her tone was very firm. After all, only one seed needed to be nurtured, no matter how much strange energy was consumed. But blooming and bearing fruit would require dozens of seeds, and Wu Tao was very unwilling to do so.
Ye Lu chose to listen to Wu Tao and used a mature and blooming peach tree as the parent tree.
It was a pity that it failed. What came out of the black peach branch were ordinary peaches with only a little bit of strange power, which could be considered a semi-strange food.
That day, the three Ye Lu brothers tasted the taste of semi-weird food again after many years.
It was also because of that tasting that Ye Lu and the others finally understood why the black peach did not like to bloom and bear fruit. The taste of its fruit... is hard to describe.
Huitao also witnessed that failure. Wutao didn't suffer any damage that time. Its strange power was so strong that it was active for a long time. It didn't fall into a deep sleep again until the end of the year. It was during that time that Huitao got in touch with Wutao and realized that Wutao was different from them.
Strange plants don't have any idea of father and mother, except for a few like Qingsong that can raise other strange plants. Most of them are very territorial and anyone who rashly breaks into their territory will be killed without mercy.
"Now there is only one father tree that has not been combined with the black peach." Ye Lu sighed and understood what Hui Tao was so surprised about. He had never concealed his arrangement of peach-like strange plants from these strange plants. Not long ago, the fragrant peach tree and the black peach failed. The only father tree left in the garden was the feather tree.
Ye Luting hopes that he can be given different strange plant seeds this time.
"Although the Fragrant Tree is not the tallest tree, it is also very special. Why did it fail?" Ye Lu couldn't figure it out. If he were to say which tree in the tree garden has the biggest mutation, it would definitely be the tallest Feather Tree. It is still growing, and its crown is almost exceeding the height of the garden. The only one left is the Fragrant Tree.
When the fragrant tree grows out, the whole tree is filled with a strange fragrance, like the fragrance of fruit and flowers. The shape of the tree is also quite strange. It can only be regarded as a medium-sized tree, but the trunk and branches are particularly thick. From a distance, it looks like a giant python spanning the entire tree.
Seeing such a change, Ye Lu felt that Xiang Shu had extraordinary talent and would definitely succeed.
Unexpectedly, it still failed.
Hui Tao continued to use its roots to devour the beast's head underground, while listening to what its provider said with great interest. When it heard Ye Lu's depressed words, it said very calmly, "Didn't you say that the success rate is very low, A Lu? You were able to get out the first and second time, Qing Xin and I were already extremely lucky. Now we are in normal condition."
"That's the only way I can think of it." Ye Lu felt worse than no comfort and pinched his nose helplessly.
"Can I go and see it then?" Hui Tao asked curiously after eating for a long time.
Are all the smart strange plants a little bit lacking? This was Ye Lu's first reaction when he heard Hui Tao's words. Whose strange plants would come to other people's territory to provoke? His expression became even more helpless: "Aren't you really not afraid that Wu Tao will chase you and beat you?" No matter how good the relationship is, Wu Tao will be very vigilant when the strange plants are crucial.
"I'm not afraid. I can go to Boss Qingsong when the time comes." Huitao said proudly.
"If Qingsong knew that you were going to find Wutao at this time, he would never help you." Ye Lu interrupted Huitao's wishful thinking coldly. He knew his companion strange plant very well. Qingsong must be selfless and would not only not help but also scold Huitao.
"Okay, okay, but I have no place to play." It hasn't finished eating the beasts' heads yet and doesn't want to sleep at all. If it falls asleep, it will regret losing these heads. However, most of the strange plants on the two mountains of Chongshan and Shuifu Mountain still follow the ancient habits and sleep most of the time every day.
"Go find Qingxin." Ye Lu said concisely. After some calculation, it was estimated that only Qingxin Tao had the patience to deal with Hui Tao.
Ye Lu's communication with Guizhi on Shuifu Mountain had no impact at all on the fire ghost leader who opened his eyes again thousands of miles away.
When the Fire Ghost leader returned to the Fire Ghost Mountains from the mountains, he didn't bother to say anything to the people from Yueling Mountain. He went back to his house and began an emergency retreat.
The next time I open my eyes is now.
The fire ghost leader opened his eyes, and a trace of blood light appeared in the depths of his originally dark eyes. The blood light contained a terrifying burning heat, and then quickly disappeared, turning back to black. At this time, the temperament around him was completely different from before.
The fire ghost leader stretched out his hand and whispered slowly, "Flame."
As soon as the words fell, a huge tree shadow appeared behind the fire ghost leader, covering the sky and the sun. Even if only a small part was exposed, it would completely cover the originally tall palace.
"I'm here." A steady voice sounded, seemingly with an echo.
"It seems that we are lucky this time." The Fire Ghost heard the voice in his memory as he wished. A trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes. Although the immature Flame Sheep Peach was very interesting, what he still remembered was the strange plant consciousness that grew up with him.
"Hello? Long time no see, Fire Ghost."
"We just saw each other not long ago." The Fire Ghost said jokingly.
"..." Flame Sheep Peach fell into a brief silence. This was the point that he didn't want to face. Flame Sheep Peach couldn't believe that the ignorant and strange plant consciousness in his memory would be himself. It even needed someone to coax it to eat a strange bead. It was not like this when it was a sapling.
"You can come out now." Flame Sheep Peach didn't want to continue talking about this topic, mainly because the Fire Ghost really liked to see it embarrassed, so Flame Sheep Peach naturally changed the topic.
The fire ghost leader knew that it wanted to change the subject, but what it said was so provocative that almost the next fire ghost was attracted to it.
"No, you can go to participate in the Moon Spirit Ceremony." The Fire Ghost Leader corrected, with an arrogant and wanton smile on his face as he said this. He couldn't wait to see the shocked eyes of the ants who were ready to watch his show.
When the Fire Ghost came out, he happened to run into the people from Yueling Mountain.
It was Yueling Mountain’s first disciple—Yueshan.
He is also the Fire Ghost’s eldest senior brother.
The siblings Yuezhi and Yuetao are worried about the Fire Ghost, fearing that he might encounter an accident, so they specially send the future ruler to supervise the Yueling ceremony.
The first time Fire Ghost saw the smiling Yueshan, his expression was not very good. See, no one likes to meet his elders, especially his brother who had been taking care of him since he was a child.
Yueshan's narrowed eyes opened slightly, revealing a hint of surprise. He looked up and down at the fire ghost, focusing his gaze on the back of the fire ghost.
"You've made a breakthrough?" Yueshan said affirmatively.
"Yeah." Upon hearing this, Huo Gui raised the corners of his lips, and said in high spirits, contrary to his usual laziness: "I'm lucky to have gained a lot."
Yueshan narrowed his eyes again. He knew the peculiarities of the strange plant that accompanied the Fire Ghost. It could be said that when the Fire Ghost was young, he could suppress his peers even though he did not have the moon attribute. This was also due to the strange plant that accompanied him. Therefore, the elders turned a blind eye to the Fire Ghost.
Now that the extremely special companion plant has grown again, Yueshan can't help but look forward to its effect.
Besides, the Fire Ghost said that he had gained a lot.
"Then I will be even more looking forward to this Moon Spirit Ceremony." Yueshan said leisurely.
