Chapter 317 Snake Eggs Time passed day by day. Ye...
Time goes by day by day.
Ye Lu left the resource issue to others and began to focus on the strange plants on the mountain. The golden oranges finally bloomed this time, and Ye Lu also had to pay attention to replenishing the strange beads.
Guimen Youzi said some time ago that his little snakes were about to come out, but he was not sure when they would hatch. Ye Lu kept it in mind and asked Qingsong to pay attention to the movements in Ercheng Mountain.
Until one night Qingsong came with a message: "It's out."
Ye Lu was admiring the moon at that time. Qingsong Divine Consciousness was also opposite him. He was drinking a pot of tea while admiring the moon. When he heard Qingsong Divine Consciousness's sudden words, he hadn't reacted yet and subconsciously said, "What came out?"
Qingsong's divine consciousness floated in the air, and he said calmly, "You want to see the snake man of Guimen Youzi."
Ye Lu was shocked: "Really? Then I'll go over and take a look now?"
"No need. Guimen Youzi has been very alert recently. If you had gone there before, he might have thought you were annoying. It is a top-level Gui system plant with great strength. It knows very well what your current situation is. It has not asked anything of you, so you don't need to tell it now." Qingsong stopped Ye Lu when he opened his mouth.
When Ye Lu heard this, he gave up the idea of leaving.
Although Ye Lu was still very curious about the Guimen Youzi, he still believed Qingsong's words when it came to the issue of planting strange plants. Qingsong would never lie to him, and not letting him go was really for his own good.
Ye Lu sat back on the stone chair and looked up at the moon in the sky. Ye Lu glanced at Qingsong's consciousness, paused, and asked curiously, "Are the snakemen's appearance similar to that of the medicine-pounding rabbits?"
What Ye Lu was more curious about was the way that group of snake people appeared. Could it be that there was a race of snake people in this world? The appearance of the medicine-making rabbits was easy to explain. There were indeed weirdos who practiced the moon system in this world, so it was normal to have rabbits that specialized in worshiping the moon.
But the Guimen Snake People are different.
".......That's not the case." Qingsong said in a somewhat strange voice: "The two are very different."
"I didn't see what those snake people looked like. To be more precise, I only saw their eggs."
"Eggs?" Ye Lu was also a little confused.
Qingsong's divine consciousness nodded and said, "Yes, it's eggs."
"Those eggs were bred by Guimen Youzi itself, hanging on the branches one by one. At first I thought they were fruits, but then I thought it was not right. Guimen Youzi hasn't even bloomed, so where do the fruits come from?" Qingsong's next sentence was complaining about Guimen Youzi's unconventional way. Although Guimen Youzi has no fruits, the fruits transformed by its strange power follow similar patterns to real fruits.
"The snake eggs are very small." Qingsong's consciousness understood what his companion really wanted to see. It was also a little curious and began to describe what it saw, while gesturing: "Each one is about the size of an apricot. The two sides are connected by the branches on the eggs. There is a strange force flowing in the branches. I can feel that there is life growing in those snake eggs, and the breath of life is still very strong."
"During this period of time, you should pay attention to giving more strange beads to Guimen Youzi. His consumption should be quite a lot." Qingsong paused and continued. He suspected that the concentration of strange power that Guimen Youzi currently possessed would determine the talents of the next group of snake people.
"....." Ye Lu was still a little surprised after hearing what Qingsong said. There really was a race born from trees.
The first thing Ye Lu thought of was Black Tiger Vine's evaluation of the Guimen Snake People. Black Tiger Vine had said at the time that the group of snake people were loyal to the Guimen Oil People, and if the myriad races took action against the Guimen Oil People, this group of snake people would definitely be the first to respond.
Now if we really follow what Black Tiger Vine said, it might be true. After all, Guimen Youzi is in a sense the mother tree of this group of snake people.
When Ye Lu thought of this, his memories flashed through many races that were born from innate spiritual plants. All of those races had excellent talents and also had different meanings to the spiritual plants.
Ye Lu kept Qingsong's instructions in mind and said seriously: "I understand, but the rabbits should not be able to pass through now." Ye Lu remembered the attributes of the big rabbits, and thought that the eggs of Guimen Youzi should be snake people. Snakes eat rabbits. Ye Lu was not willing to let his big rabbits get hurt.
Qingsong also thought of this and said, "You can go there during this period of time, but you probably can't wait until the snakes hatch."
"When the time comes, you can feed them temporarily. As long as the first snake man born gains intelligence, it can get resources to feed its own kind. Most of the affairs on Shuifu Mountain and Ercheng Mountain can be gradually handed over to them." Qingsong quickly came up with a solution.
Newly born snake people may not necessarily have good intelligence. When they smell the scent of rabbits, they will just think it is food. As for the big rabbits, they are all quite timid.
Over the years, the number of strange plants on the three mountains has been constantly increasing, and the level of the strange plants has also been gradually increasing. The big rabbits are actually working overtime. After all, taking care of the strange plants is their nature. In addition, the lord is willing to pay them with strange plant leaves, so the big rabbits are willing to work overtime.
But it’s not a good idea to keep working like this.
Ye Lu thought several times whether he should find other people to take on part of the work of pounding the medicine rabbits. Later, he gave up because Xi Mingren and he both did not like strangers to go up the mountain.
Now the appearance of the strange snake people has fulfilled part of the wish.
"I'm now looking forward to the next scene." Ye Lu said with a smile.
The light blue ball of Qingsong's consciousness turned around and looked at him in confusion, as if he didn't understand why he said such a thing.
Ye Lu began to explain: "The three Moon-Worshiping Rabbits have been causing trouble every day, and we couldn't bring ourselves to do anything about them. Now that they are similarly smart Snake People have appeared, we should at least restrain ourselves." After this period of time, the threats from the Ghost Scholar had no effect on the three Moon-Worshiping Rabbits.
Qingsong? Thinking about this, if I really follow Ye Lu’s words, it seems to be true.
"How many eggs are there on the tree?" Ye Lu asked curiously. He was even more curious about the number of the Guimen snakemen. He would make arrangements after knowing the number.
Qingsong's spiritual sense continued to use the spiritual sense to look cautiously in the direction of Guimen Youzi. He had to be careful. Guimen Youzi had been very alert during this period, and he didn't want to anger the other party, so he could only do this. Fortunately, Guimen Youzi had not fully recovered yet, so Qingsong could still use his spiritual sense to take advantage of him for a while.
Qingsong quickly swept his gaze across the eggs on the branches of the Guimen Oil Tree and immediately withdrew his consciousness.
Guimen Youzi's consciousness had already emerged from the roots of the tree, and was looking at the snake eggs he had bred in the gap between the branches and the eggs. He was in a very good mood.
Suddenly, it seemed to sense something, and its consciousness turned in a certain direction and emitted a cold breath: "Who is there?"
An empty area with no response.
Guimen Youzi used his spiritual sense to scan the place he had just sensed and found that there were really no living creatures. He couldn't help but start to feel confused. Could it be that he really sensed it wrong?
Guimen Youzi's consciousness turned around in place, very confused.
It wondered if it was Qingsong that came over, but it also sensed that Qingsong's breath should not have come over.
Guimen Youzi could only withdraw his consciousness doubtfully and focus more cautiously on the eggs on the branch.
"You need to absorb more strange power, so that it will be easier for you to break out of your shells." When Guimen Youzi turned to the pale white snake eggs on the branches, his attitude was completely different and very gentle.
When the wind blew, the snake eggs on the branches swayed with the breeze, making a rustling sound, as if responding to Guimen Youzi's words.
Guimen Youzi's mood became even happier.
It...hasn't seen the little snakes for a long time.
"Nine eggs." Qingsong said calmly: "I'm not sure if there will be another batch, but I think there is a high probability."
"The Guimen Oilman's divine consciousness is guarding nearby."
"Nine, that's a lot." Ye Lu took a breath when he heard the number and couldn't help but sigh. This number far exceeded his expectations.
"It should be that the first batch of snake eggs have the highest talent, followed by the next. Judging from the aura of the snake eggs, the first batch of snake eggs should have the strength of Qingyou level right after hatching, and then slowly grow to all Qingyou level. This is too against the will of heaven. The number will not be too large, and should not exceed twenty." Qingsong also felt that Ye Lu was right. How could a spiritual plant have this many companion spirit beasts?
The hibiscus tree is very powerful, right? After all, there are only a few bird chicks on the tree. Other spiritual plants are not as good as the hibiscus tree.
Qingsong thought it was unlikely. What was more likely was that the talents of these snake people varied and they could definitely not compare to those of the bird cubs of the Fusang tree. This made sense.
"Did Guimen Youzi say when he would hatch?" Ye Lu wanted to take a look at this group of snake people. With Qingsong's words in mind, it was not easy for him to go over directly. For the time being, he planned to let Ximing people deliver the Guizhu and resources. Guimen Youzi should not feel too offended if a big bird delivered them.
"I don't know." Qingsong, who actually didn't dare to ask, spoke very calmly at first glance. He didn't want to be discovered by the Guimen expert that he had just used his spiritual sense to go to Ercheng Mountain.
Qingsong didn't really want to fight with Guimen Youzi.
"The Guimen Youzi will tell you by himself when the time comes." Qingsong comforted his companion.
Ye Lu sighed secretly in his heart. This was the only way. He couldn't just force his way up the mountain. With Qingsong's previous praise for the Guimen snake people's strange food, and with this carrot hanging in front of him, Ye Lu would definitely be very careful with the Guimen oilmen, trying not to anger them as much as possible.
I hope those little snake men from Guimen Youzi can hatch as soon as possible.
"..." Ye Lu took another sip of tea slowly.
Ah Xi the bird also learned from his brother Lu that he had an additional job to do. Although it was a bit troublesome, he did not hate it. After all, it was a strange plant on his mountain. As the master of the mountain, these were also his responsibilities.
Ye Lu waited like this day by day as time passed.
Until one day, a strange spiritual aura brought news.
"Alu, Alu." It sounds familiar, but when it comes to transmission, it should still be a little unfamiliar, and the voice is distorted.
Ye Lu listened for a while before he recognized the person's identity: "A man from Guimen?"
"I need more Weird Power and flesh and blood." Guimen Youzi said hesitantly, "My little snakes are hatching, can you go up the mountain?"
When Ye Lu heard this, he couldn't help but sit up straight. It was exactly as Qingsong said.
"I'll be right over."
