Chapter 295 A Man of His Promise Five days later. The fifth...
Five days later.
At dusk on the fifth day, Ye Lu, who had been guarding the cave entrance motionlessly, slowly raised his head and looked towards the cave entrance. He heard a buzzing sound, and the door outside the cave was pushed open from the inside.
Two small birds the size of a palm appeared at the entrance of the cave.
The whole bird's feathers were shining brightly, glittering in the dust.
When Ye Lu saw the bird, his first reaction was to estimate it in his mind for a moment, while secretly comparing it with the previous bird. Before entering the hole, Ah Xi's bird was only the size of a palm, but now it is about the size of two palms. Although its body is still round, it can still be seen that it is more streamlined.
It will be nearly twice as big.
Ye Lu estimated that the man who played the game should get a lot of benefits. Thinking of this, a smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth.
The noble young man looked at the bird showing off at the entrance of the cave, and couldn't help but show tenderness in his eyes. He bent down slightly and waved to the bird Axi.
Ah Xi the bird raised its head sharply, and when it saw Ye Lu's action, it jumped onto his palm without hesitation.
Ye Lu held the excited little body of the birdie ball and said gently: "How do you feel? Is your strange power still sufficient?"
If there was anything else that shocked Ye Lu about the Ximing Man's coming out this time, it might be that the Ximing Man was still a juvenile when he came out again. Ye Lu was prepared to see an adult golden-winged Roc, or at least a sub-adult. Unexpectedly, it was still a cub.
It's inevitable to feel a little lost for a while.
Ye Lu pulled the wings of the bird in his arms without leaving any trace. However, compared to the soft wing feathers before, the wings of the bird Axi were much harder now, and it felt like pinching metal when pinching them.
The little bird Ah Xi seemed not to notice that his wings were being pulled, and he was seriously replying to Ye Lu's words: "...chirp." The inherited memory told me that it would take some time to digest the strange power. After it is digested, I will be able to grow up a little.
After listening to this, Ye Lu nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief. This made sense.
No matter how much the strange beasts in the world can eat, they have a limit to their digestion, and they will continue to grow once they have digested all the food.
"I'll find other weird food for you when the time comes." Ye Lu said to the red-haired bird in the palm of his hand.
Ah Xi the little bird shook his head and said, "...chirp."
"Me?" Ye Lu was stunned, he also shook his head, and said helplessly: "I'm not in a hurry, mainly because there are not many strange foods I can use in Chongshan. I have to see if Zhu Hui can find other strange foods." In fact, calculating the time, Ye Lu should almost consider the issue of upgrading to the Blood Grudge level.
Ye Lu stayed at the peak of the Qingyou level for too long.
The Ghost Scholar and He Sijiu were both aware of this problem. They had hinted at it for a while some time ago, but Ye Lu changed the subject by saying that he was looking for new strange plants.
Now even A Xi Xiao Niao is starting to worry about this problem.
Ye Lu sighed slightly in his heart, silently suppressed his helplessness, then weighed the bird in his hand and asked the question in his heart: "Have you reached the Blood Grudge level now?"
After listening to this, Ah Xi Xiaoniao first shook his head and then nodded.
Ye Lu took a look and guessed silently: "You mean you haven't made a breakthrough yet, but you have found the direction. As long as you grow up, you should be able to make a breakthrough successfully?"
"Is that what you mean?"
Ah Xi Xiaoniao nodded.
Finally, something good has happened. Ye Lu's smile deepened. He found the little bird pleasing to the eye. He touched the bird's feathers with his other hand, and the little head was docile and allowed to be touched.
"good."
"Well? I'll take you out to play this time."
Ye Lu said with a smile.
"Chirp!" Ah Xi the bird opened his eyes wide in surprise. He thought he couldn't get out this time, but unexpectedly he could go out with Taoist Master. No matter whether they were looking for new ruins or not, he was happy as long as he was with Taoist Master.
The little bird rubbed its head against the palm of my hand even more flatteringly. Like it...good? Like it...
Ye Lu coughed lightly, silently telling himself that spoiling is not advisable. At the same time, he made up his mind that he should think about how to break through the Blood Resentment Level in the future.
It is conceivable what kind of scene the ghost scholar sees now that he has come here.
The ghost scholar paused for three seconds. He first silently looked at the little bird Axi in Ye Lu's hand. The bird had grown a lot, but in the eyes of the ghost scholar, it still looked like a bird relying on its master for power. After looking at it, he moved his gaze upwards.
The ghost scholar looked at Ye Lu silently.
"Master Dao?"
"Ahem, he just came out of seclusion, so just take him over." Ye Lu looked a little embarrassed but he coughed lightly and pretended to be very calm.
The ghost scholar was speechless for a moment.
Last time, the Taoist priest told him not to spoil the little bird too much, because it would cause trouble sooner or later. So who is spoiling the little bird now?
The ghost scholar thought about it and decided not to expose the Taoist's disguise. What if the other party got angry and beat him up? The main thing is that there shouldn't be any danger in the White Mist Forest this time, so Ah Xi Xiaoniao can go if he wants to.
The ghost scholar didn't say no in the end.
Two people? Yi Niao still went to the foot of Ercheng Mountain to look for the black tiger vine.
As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the red bird in Ye Lu's palm was the first to chirp towards the foot of the mountain to say hello, looking very familiar.
"Oh? I was guessing who it was. It turns out to be the mountain master. You and the lord came here together?" As soon as the chirping of the bird stopped, the black tiger vine's puzzled voice came out, and then the black tiger vine's consciousness climbed up from the roots of the tree. It first greeted Ye Lu and the ghost scholar, and then the entire consciousness floated above the bird, going up and down as if teasing the bird, and its voice was much gentler.
When Ah Xi Bird heard this, he looked away from the Black Tiger Vine's consciousness with difficulty and nodded very seriously: "Chirp..."
The ghost scholar was a little surprised: "You are so familiar with the black tiger vine now, could it be that in the past few days, you were not only making trouble at Qingsong's place, but also obediently catching strange flesh and blood to feed the strange plants?"
When the ghost scholar said this, he looked at A Xi Xiaoniao. The current A Xi Xiaoniao is not completely a Xi Mingren. To be precise, the current A Xi Xiaoniao is a young mental version of a Xi Mingren, and more of its consciousness is in a dormant state.
There are some things that other people would do that Ah Xi Xiao Niao would do, and there are some things that other people would not do and would never show their emotions on their faces, but Ah Xi Xiao Niao would definitely show them.
For example, a hipster would never show such a smug emotion on his face.
That kid would just giggle and act perverted the whole time, or he would start to tempt others to have bad thoughts.
The feathers on the top of Ah Xi's bird's head were almost standing up. He nodded his little head very reservedly and said, "Chirp." Because it was something he had already agreed to.
Black Tiger Vine explained for Axi Bird, "During that period, Axi Mountain Master helped me hunt enough strange flesh and blood every day. He Village people offered to help, but he didn't refuse. Not only me, but also the flesh and blood of the Goucha vines on Chongshan Mountain were hunted by the little mountain master."
When the Black Tiger Vine's spiritual consciousness spoke, its tone couldn't help but reveal a hint of fondness.
The black tiger vine originally hates insects and likes birds. Not only is the owner of the mountain where it has moved now a little bird, but it has also taken the initiative to feed it at such a young age. How can an old vine not be pleased to see this?
The ghost scholar looked at the emotional aura emanating from the black tiger vine's spiritual consciousness and could not make a good assessment. He felt that this vine was most likely subdued by Ah Xi the bird.
Ye Lu was not surprised. Although Xi Mingren looked perverted and heartless, it was actually just that his values were problematic. He would naturally not linger on people he looked down upon. The inherent arrogance of the Golden-winged Roc resulted in the number of people that Xi Mingren liked being small, and naturally even fewer people who could see his emotions.
A playful person? In fact, he is very trustworthy.
A playful person rarely lies. He disdains to use lies for any purpose. Ye Lu suspects that it is because of his arrogance.
Even though his size has become smaller now, his personality has not changed much.
Ye Lu now finally had the real feeling: Oh, it turns out that Ah Xi Xiaoniao is also Xi Mingren?
Needless to say, the Goucha vine is Ximingren's vine. Ximingren had once promised Dayanxiong that he would worship it seriously. So the Goucha vine is nominally Ximingren's vine.
Now, if you are playing with your life, it is impossible to forget it even if you turn into a child.
As for the Black Tiger Vine, Ye Lu probably thought it was because of the location of the Black Tiger Vine. After all, Ercheng Mountain was still Ximingren’s mountain, and Ximingren also kept the issue of the Black Tiger Vine in mind.
The only thing that caught Ye Lu's expectations was the life-playing man? It was so energetic that when it was tormenting the green pine until its crown went crazy, it could go hunting and feed the two strange plants.
With a complicated expression, Ye Lu rubbed the proud feathers of the little bird, feeling its softness, and praised: "Well done."
Ye Lu didn't even dare to think about it? If Ah Xi the bird put all his energy into messing with Qingsong, when he came back, would his companion strange plant directly fight with him?
...Fortunately, Ah Xi the bird still remembered that the green pine was his companion plant.
It's not that Ye Lu is arrogant. He thinks he has some status in the hearts of Ximing people. Even if Ximing people don't listen to everyone else, they will not disobey him.
Ah Xi Xiaoniao accepted all of Ye Lu's compliments and subconsciously rubbed his head against Ye Lu's hand. "I like it, it's really good? I like it, stick with me..."
The ghost scholar watched the whole process, let out a soft "tsk", and looked away with an expression that showed he couldn't bear to watch it.
Ye Lu looked towards the black tiger vine's spiritual consciousness.
"Heihu Teng, how are you now? Can you go out?" Ye Lu had something to ask Heihu Teng this time, so he spoke very directly.
Black Tiger Vine was even more excited than Ye Lu: "Are you finally going to tear down the lair of the Ten Thousand Clans? I have been waiting for so long that I am almost ready to see the fruits of my labor. Finally, you are here."
Old Qingsong? It has long been said that it has fully recovered.
From then on, the Black Tiger Vine waited every day for Ye Lu and the others to call him to go to the White Mist Forest, but it was a pity that he never waited for them. He was not kidding when he said that the tree would soon bloom and bear fruit.
Now I have finally waited for it.
"Axi was about to make a breakthrough some time ago, which delayed it for a while." Ye Lu explained.
The black tiger vine had no intention of blaming anyone. It said this simply to release its emotions. It said very straightforwardly, "Quick, give me a jar. Tree roots will do. I'll let the branches pass through."
"I've been ready for a long time."
Ye Lu turned his head and the ghost scholar opened his hand. A pottery jar that was almost the size of two people's arms appeared in mid-air, supported by divine power. The jar was full of black mud.
Black Tiger Vine said: "Okay!"
There was a rustling sound coming from the roots of the huge black vine, and soon a vine that was exactly the same in shape, but slightly smaller and with a more immature color, crawled out.
When this branch grows to a certain length, the black tiger vine will actively disconnect from the branch.
"It's time to plant it." Black Tiger Vine said in a weak voice.
Upon hearing this, the ghost scholar carefully picked up the branch of the black tiger vine on the ground and planted it in the center of the large vat in mid-air. With his hand pointing downward, clear water automatically appeared and wet the soil near the branch.
"Give me some more strange beads." A familiar voice suddenly appeared beside him.
Everyone looked over and saw that Qingsong's spiritual consciousness had appeared in the sky at some point in time.
The ghost scholar followed his instructions and crushed some more strange beads and scattered them at the roots of the branches. The strange power emitted by the strange beads was absorbed by the branches, and the branches grew rapidly again.
"Qingsong, why are you here?" Ye Lu asked curiously as he looked at the strange plant that was accompanying him.
"I will definitely come back to you regarding the strange plant." Qingsong's consciousness said seriously. It floated over the large vat and looked at it carefully for a moment. After confirming that everything was fine, it said, "Okay, the Black Tiger Vine's consciousness should be able to wake up in the branches soon."
