Chapter 294: What Happened Outside the So-called Friendship? On the Mountain...
The people in the mountains had no idea what was happening outside.
Just when winter was about to approach the forbidden stone mountains, Zhu Hui hurriedly came to the halfway point of the mountain with two portions of strange food. This time, even Lvhui and Zhubai were not with him.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." Zhu Hui took out two wooden boxes containing strange food from his arms and handed them to Ye Lu, speaking.
Ye Lu took the wooden box. The gift of the Son of Taishan allowed him to sense the strong strange power inside the wooden box. He put the wooden box in his arms and said solemnly, "Thank you."
When Zhu Hui mentioned the two strange foods, Ye Lu didn't feel it was real. But when Ye Lu touched the wooden box, he realized how rare the strange foods Zhu Hui mentioned were.
Both of these are weird food.
No wonder Zhu Hui looked so exhausted when he came to Chongshan. He must have been rushing here right after changing his clothes.
"Three portions of blood jujube, green pine seeds, to be distributed over 150 years. Hawthorn seeds, two portions of laurel seeds. It would be best to exchange them when the next batch of laurel seeds mature." Zhu Hui explained how he had exchanged for several portions of strange food, as a reminder to Lord Chongshan that these strange foods were not obtained in vain, and he would still have to give out strange food to others later.
"Thank you very much." Ye Lu continued to thank him. Ye Lu knew the value of the strange plants in the heavy mountains. The level of these two strange foods in exchange was higher than the strange foods in the heavy mountains. Just think about it, and you will know how much effort Zhu Hui spent to bring these two strange foods to him.
"I will never forget your help this time." Ye Lu said seriously.
Zhu Hui touched his nose, feeling a little guilty. He must not have helped Lord Chongshan in such a nice way. If he was really thanked, he would definitely feel guilty. Hearing Ye Lu's sincere thanks, he frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Didn't we form an alliance a long time ago? We said long ago that after the alliance, all our resources will be shared. This trip to the King's Court of Ten Thousand Beasts also used a lot of Yang Kan's resources. You can thank that kid next time you see him."
Ye Lu looked up, a little surprised. Yang Kan should have repaid the favor.
Zhu Hui was not in a hurry. He looked Ye Lu up and down, and remembered the expression on Yang Kan's face when he mentioned Lord Chongshan. That smiling expression seemed to be full of dependence and trust. He felt that it was particularly familiar when he saw it in the Wanshou Palace. The figure of Young Master Yang Ling suddenly appeared in his mind. Now thinking about it, the expression of that arrogant Young Master was almost the same as Yang Kan's.
Zhu Hui paused. Although he didn't know what kind of magic his friend had that made one after another of the chosen ones take the initiative to recognize him as their father, he still calmly changed the sentence: "No, he doesn't necessarily need your thanks."
At least he doesn't have to regard Ye Lu as his father anymore, right?
Yay!
Ye Lu was completely confused by Zhu Hui's brain twists. Now hearing Zhu Hui's words, he could only tilt his head in even more confusion and utter a short, quick sound of confusion.
"It's nothing. You don't have to think too much about it." Zhu Hui didn't plan to get too involved in this matter. From the current point of view, Young Master Yang Ling should not be aware of the current situation. No one knows whether this over-possessive Young Master will feel that his position is challenged and take action. After all, he is not familiar with Yang Kan, so it will be more justified for him to take action.
Zhu Hui thought about what would happen if a fight broke out and decided that it would be better for him not to get involved.
He is just a weak and helpless businessman.
Zhu Hui laughed in his heart and decisively said goodbye: "I'm leaving first."
"There are still a lot of things going on in the caravan. Although Zhu Bai can hold on for a while, he is still a little weak facing those big guys. I have to get there quickly." Zhu Hui found a good excuse for himself.
Ye Lu nodded to show that he understood, and when Zhu Hui was about to leave, he asked the last question in his heart.
"Someone recommended that I should collect more strange food before reaching the Blood Grudge level. Do you have any recommendations?" Ye Lu thought about this question for a long time. Finally, he chose to ask the question to Zhu Hui. Who else in the entire continent is more familiar with strange food than the merchants in Shizhu Village?
Without even thinking, Zhu Hui named the strange food he had been thinking about recently: "Of course it's the ghost claw locust tree. With this strange food, my combat power will be much stronger after I break through, and the chance of breaking through will also increase."
After he finished speaking, Zhu Hui realized what he had said. What he saw was the eyes of Lord Chongshan opposite him lighting up.
Zhu Hui wanted to explain at this time, but it was already over: "Wait, Ghost Sophora japonica is no longer sold in Ghost Sophora japonica Mountain."
When Zhu Hui said this, he wanted to slap himself in the face. Who told you to be so quick-witted? Lord Guihuai had already said he wouldn't give it to him, but he was still thinking about it. Now that Lord Chongshan asked him, he said it without even thinking about it.
Zhu Hui didn't look down on Lord Chongshan, he just thought too highly of Lord Chongshan's ability. He felt that after he mentioned the name of the strange food, Ghost Claw Sophora japonica, Lord Chongshan would definitely keep an eye on this strange food. He couldn't say that the reason why Chongshan couldn't exchange for Ghost Claw Sophora japonica was because Lord Chongshan's strange food was not valuable enough.
Although if it were someone else, Zhu Hui would speak the truth without hesitation, in the end, they must not let others mistakenly believe that their Zhu Hui caravan is incompetent.
As for why he didn't tell Lord Chongshan, just think that he really regarded Lord Chongshan as his friend. Zhu Hui just didn't want to say it. He felt that Lord Chongshan was very powerful. He had founded a great force in less than a hundred years. It was estimated that sooner or later this man would be on par with those in power of the top forces. There was no need to say it now to make people unhappy.
Ye Lu quickly put away his angry expression, and smiled to comfort him: "Hey, I didn't say I want it now, I just wanted to listen to it, you can ask for it later."
When Zhu Hui heard this, he felt relieved for a short time.
Ye Lu waved at Zhu Hui and said, "Now that your questions have been answered, you can go about your business. I wish you a safe journey."
Zhu Hui looked at Ye Lu's face, which showed no real emotion at all. It seemed that he really had no disappointment or regret, just simple indifference. So he left in doubt.
Ye Lu stayed where he was, watching Zhu Hui's figure disappear in front of him.
A small red ball immediately jumped out from behind the stone table. It was the A-Xi bird that jumped out when it sensed that Ye Lu was in a bad mood.
“........Chirp?” A bird called out in doubt, and a chubby little figure rushed over.
Ye Lu grabbed the birdie ball without even looking at it, and sighed helplessly: "Ah, it turns out that supporting a family is a difficult thing in any world."
"Chiu?"
"What should we do? It seems that the strange food in our heavy mountain still can't impress those old-fashioned strange people. We still have to work harder. Let's set a small goal first. You and I must break through the blood grudge level first. At least we have to let the laurel tree and the green pine break through to the blood grudge level first. Then we have to collect more strange food, preferably strange food of the strange system. I don't know if the black tiger vine has rested well."
The little bird Ah Xi was not as smart as he was as an adult at this time. His brain was clear but his mind was not. He listened to the whole thing in a daze while staying in Ye Lu's palm. He just remembered to make a chirping sound from time to time in response.
"Yeah, yes, that's right, Ah Xi is right. If you can help me, I will naturally be happy." Ye Lu listened to the words of the red-haired birdie ball with a smile, while coaxing the birdie.
"However, you'd better take the strange food and work hard to grow up." When saying this, Ye Lu just happened to stop.
The man and the bird stopped at the entrance of a cave. Ye Lu opened the two wooden boxes and gave them all to the bird. He then pushed the bird's furry body and urged it, "Go in quickly. Do you remember how to practice?"
"Chirp." Of course I remember. Ah Xi the bird took the wooden box with a confused look on his face, and then the whole bird ball was pushed into the cave. When he reacted, the entrance of the cave was blocked by stones from the outside.
The little bird Ah Xi looked at the dark entrance of the cave in front of it and chirped tentatively.
There was no sound outside the cave.
I see. This is to let him practice faster.
The clever birdie carried the wooden box onto the stone bed and began to prepare for practice. He carried one wooden box up, then another. There was no other way, as he only had one mouth.
"Both portions of strange food are swallowed directly, there are no other steps." Ye Lu's spiritual sense sounded in the cave at the right time, reminding.
"Chirp." After the red-haired birdie finished dragging the ball, he replied weakly.
The red-haired birdie followed Ye Lu's instructions, opened the wooden box and began to swallow the strange food. The first thing he swallowed was the hawthorn.
There were clusters of crisp red berries in the wooden box, with a total of twelve in each cluster. This was a rare group of berries. The little red bird smelled the pleasant scent, its eyes lit up, and it opened its mouth without hesitation to swallow the berries in front of it.
Twelve berries disappeared from the bird's beak in just a few breaths.
The little red bird smacked its beak and felt that there was nothing wrong, except that its wings were a little itchy. It then turned its attention to the open blood jujube on the other side.
Compared with hawthorn berries, the weird power of blood jujube is stronger. It is worthy of the name of jujube. The whole weird food is twisted and crooked. It is more like the strange antlers of a deer than a weird food.
Sharp, bloody, and twisted.
However, the strange power still proves that it is indeed a strange food rather than a part of the strangeness.
At this time, A Xi Xiaoniao was looking at everything with his natural talent. The appearance of the blood-curved jujube did not scare him at all. On the contrary, A Xi Xiaoniao felt his mouth watering just by looking at it. His heart was constantly agitated. He wanted to eat, wanted to eat, good stuff!!
Ah Xi bird resolutely followed his instinct, opened his mouth and ate the blood jujube again.
I don't know how a palm-sized bird could grow up to have such a big mouth. In short, he ate up all the strange food in the two wooden boxes.
"...Chirp... "After eating, Ah Xi the bird felt groggy. His eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and kept drooping.
I feel a little sleepy and want to sleep.
Instinct told him that it would be best to sleep now.
Ah Xi Bird persisted in fighting the sleepiness for several times, but was finally overcome by the irresistible sleepiness. His eyelids moved hard for a few times, but finally closed obediently.
The little red ball just curled up in the straw and slept soundly.
Outside the cave, Ye Lu, who had been guarding silently, listened to the small but very steady heartbeat in the cave. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gradually felt relieved.
"It seems that this training should be successful."
