Chapter 343 Black Tiger Vine Results Time slowly passed. …
Time passes slowly.
When the strange food transaction in He Village was coming to an end, Ye Lu accepted the invitation of Uncle He Qi and went down the mountain to visit the He family's old house to see the blood-spotted plums. When he entered the blood-spotted plum garden, he saw a medium-sized tree in the middle as soon as he stepped through the door.
Ye Lu took a close look at the current appearance of the blood-spotted plum and found that he seemed to have never seen it since the blood-spotted plum grew into a tree. No wonder he had no impression of the blood-spotted plum after it grew into a tree.
My impression is that the blood-spotted plum is about a size larger than an ordinary medium-sized tree.
Ye Lu nodded slightly in his heart. The size of the blood-spotted plum is now almost twice as large as the ordinary blood-spotted plum.
When Ye Lu got closer, he could already see the newly hanging fruits and some flowers that were about to fade on the blood-spotted plum tree.
Ye Lu silently counted the flowers on the tree in his mind. The flowers of the blood-spotted plum were very beautiful. There were no blood spots on the petals that were unique to the blood-spotted plum. On the contrary, the flowers were very white and tender. When they bloomed on the tree, under the moonlight, they looked like white jade at first glance.
Ye Lu’s first impression of the flowers on the tree was “the flowers are beautiful”, followed by “there are so many flowers”.
Why are there so many flowers?
Ye Lu frowned: "There are too many flowers." Just from the ones Ye Lu just counted, there were probably hundreds of flowers on the tree, which meant that the quality of the fruit would not be very high.
He Qi touched his nose and said, "We all think it's a strange food that can be measured."
Ye Lu understood: "What did Fourth Uncle want?"
He Qi looked a little unhappy: "Your fourth uncle really guessed it right." Although he also knew that such a result was the best for He Village, but actually seeing it was another matter. After seeing the high-level strange plants on the mountains, who wouldn't be curious about the strange plants along the quality route?
He Qi said he was extremely curious.
He also wanted a strange plant with a quality line.
But it just so happened that Xueban Li has now taken another route, and He Qi cannot say that Xueban Li is wrong. This is Guizhi's nature, and Guizhi himself cannot change it. It is useless for him to say anything. He Qi has no choice, and he is reluctant to scold Xueban Li, so he can only be angry in secret.
"........" Ye Lu thought but could only remain speechless after he understood. He couldn't even speak to comfort his seventh uncle He. He couldn't say it was the fault of Blood Spot Li Guizhi, it wasn't Guizhi's fault. Ye Lu also didn't want to say it was his fourth uncle's problem. His fourth uncle said that this was just his hope.
Ye Lu thought about it and could only conclude that it was a matter of luck, and luck was on his fourth uncle's side.
"Alu, Alu." Qingsong's voice calling suddenly came from the other end of Ye Lu's consciousness.
"Hmm?" Ye Lu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had something to do and didn't need to continue comforting his seventh uncle. He was afraid that he would be unable to speak and then be angered. He said to He Qi without hesitation: "Seventh Uncle, I'm going back first. If you have something to ask me on the mountain, please find me."
He Qi was just about to say something when he heard his nephew's words.
"!"
"?"
He Qi was shocked, he hadn't even cursed yet! !
He Qi was caught off guard and was unable to stop his nephew from running away. He could only watch him rush back to the mountains as fast as a fish, his movements so quick that it seemed as if someone was chasing him from behind.
"......Ha." He Qi snorted coldly and could only let go helplessly. It seemed that his nephew was really in trouble.
Ye Lu ran a distance to make sure he could no longer hear the voice behind him. Then he stopped and asked Qingsong at the other end in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"He Qi is looking for you?" Qingsong knew Shanxia very well, and almost immediately understood what Ye Lu was worried about. He smiled and laughed at his companion, then turned around and said the reason seriously: "The black tiger vine is about to mature."
"Okay, I know everything." Ye Lu's heart sank and he spoke without hesitation.
Ye Lu no longer hesitated and went up the mountain. He first went to the warehouse halfway up the mountain and took with him the mysterious bead that he had left specially for the Black Tiger Vine. Then he went to the foot of the Ercheng Mountain to look for the Black Tiger Vine.
The ghost scholar had been waiting at the foot of the mountain.
"Fortunately, Brother Lu, you finally caught up." The ghost scholar looked at Ye Lu's figure and breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but complain: "If you don't come, I will have to go find the ghost pearl by myself."
What about the ghost scholar not going there? Because the black tiger vine fruits have to be guarded by someone, and you can't let the group of weird little birds on the black tiger vine guard them, and they can't defeat those weird things.
"rest assured."
Hearing the ghost scholar's words, Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Qingsong has informed me with his spiritual sense, I can't be wrong."
"Black Tiger, how do you feel now?" Ye Lu looked at the Black Tiger Vine that had appeared beside him a long time ago. At this time, the Black Tiger Vine's spiritual consciousness was much calmer than before.
Ye Lu knew that this was a special period for the strange plants. Every strange plant would become much more irritable when the fruit it was nurturing was about to mature, so his tone of inquiry was also much more patient.
Black Tiger Vine said very calmly: "It feels okay."
"Just now, Master Axi helped me hunt a lot of strange flesh and blood. Now there is enough flesh and blood."
Ye Lu first breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Black Tiger Vine was fine. The Black Tiger Vine's temper was much better than he expected. Could it be that the consciousness of a high-level strange plant would really be smarter?
"Why is it maturing so early this time?" Ye Lu asked the question that was in his mind. Logically speaking, the black tiger vine should be mature in late summer, and now it is still some time away from early summer.
Almost a few months ahead of schedule.
This is also the reason why Ye Lu felt it was sudden.
If Ye Lu really knew that the black tiger vine would mature in these few days, he would never go down the mountain.
The main reason is that it matured too suddenly.
Hei Hu Teng heard Ye Lu's doubts and said a little embarrassedly: "I? I just happen to know."
Qingsong was also curious about this. He originally thought that Ye Lu would know about it, but when he saw Ye Lu going down the mountain without knowing the truth, Qingsong knew that Ye Lu was probably also confused. Just when he was about to figure out the reason, he heard the sound of Black Tiger Vine not far away.
Qingsong and Ye Lu, the ghost scholar, both looked up at the black tiger vine. It seemed that the strange plant had some points.
"Not long ago, didn't Lord Alu successfully advance to the Blood Grudge level? A lot of strange power leaked out from the cave where he was in seclusion. Although I wasn't very close, I still absorbed a lot of strange power." Black Tiger Vine explained: "At that time, I thought I only absorbed a little strange power because I didn't succeed in advancing. Now I find that it seems not to be the case. I absorbed a lot of strange power, but my level didn't advance."
"I unconsciously used this strange power to ripen the fruit." Black Tiger Vine said with helplessness in his tone.
Who could have imagined this would be the result?
When Black Tiger Vine heard what the Ghost Scholar and Qingsong said, it also had some ideas in its mind. It can now be considered a Blood Grudge-level weird plant, but after all, it had been injured before. Even after being rescued, its current level is not high among the Blood Grudge-level weird plants. It is all supported by the talent of the top-level vine. Black Tiger Vine originally wanted to take this opportunity to successfully break through.
Unexpectedly, instead of a breakthrough, there were other surprises.
"......." Then the strange food matured prematurely.
The ghost scholar and Ye Lu had never expected such a result, and they looked at each other.
Qingsong, on the other hand, understood very well and said, "That's not wrong. After all, A-Lu only achieved an ordinary Blood Grudge level breakthrough, and you are not its companion plant, let alone a Blood Grudge level plant. It is impossible for you to get too many gifts. This is already the most reasonable result."
"At least if you ripen the fruits earlier now, you can enter the dormant period faster." Qingsong was still in the mood to comfort Black Tiger Vine.
Black Tiger Vine said helplessly: "There is no other way. At least you are right now."
"......" Black Tiger Vine seemed to be preparing to say something, but suddenly, its mood changed and it said directly: "My fruit is about to mature, let's talk later."
After saying that, Heihu Teng didn't bother to say anything to Ye Lu and the others. He turned around and went back to his main body.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lu looked up at a large patch of dark vines and saw that the few bunches of fruit under the black tiger vines were rapidly ripening. The strange power in the air was rapidly decreasing, and the original green and red color on the fruits was changing to dark at a terrifying speed.
"Hurry, add the strange beads." Qingsong sensed the change in the strange power in the air, his mood changed, and he said to Ye Lu without hesitation.
Ye Lu didn't even need Qingsong's reminder. As early as Qingsong opened his mouth to speak, he had already opened the wooden box in his arms and quickly crushed the strange beads in the box. The rich strange power spread out and rushed towards the roots of the black tiger vine. The color change of the black tiger vine fruits on the vine branches, which had originally stopped, once again moved towards a dark color.
Red, dark red, brown, dark brown.
The strange beads in the wooden box were crushed one by one. They were all blood-grudge-level strange beads. After Ye Lu had spent nearly eight thousand blood-grudge-level strange beads, the strange power in the air stopped decreasing and remained within a certain range. The color of the fruit on the vine paper finally remained dark black.
Bunches of small fruits hung on the vine paper strips. The fruits were dark black and glossy, and the air was filled with a strange aura that belonged only to the Blood Grudge level.
Ye Lu didn't need anyone to remind him. He and the ghost scholar each stepped forward and picked all the ripe fruit bunches from the branches of the black tiger vine.
There are eight bunches in total, with 25 fruits on each bunch, which are only about one-third the size of bay seeds.
Ye Lu took a look at it. According to what Black Tiger Teng had said before, if fifty of them made up a portion, then one could really swallow it in one bite. A portion consisted of two strings, and one string could be swallowed in one bite.
"Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem that hard to eat." Ye Lu estimated and commented that if two bunches of fruits were picked in advance, the fruits piled together would be just enough for an adult to eat in one mouthful.
Of course, Ye Lu took the bunch of black tiger vine fruits handed over by the ghost scholar. At first glance, this was the one with only 24 fruits. This was the one missing one. Ye Lu calmly took a complete wooden box and put this and the whole bunch of fruits in it, stuffed it into his arms, and prepared to bring it to He Si when he returned.
There are three remaining.
Ye Lu looked at the black tiger vine in his hand and thought about how to distribute it.
"First, leave a portion on the mountain." Ye Lu first handed two bunches of fruit to the ghost scholar, and then spoke.
The ghost scholar took the black tiger vine fruit from Ye Lu's hand without hesitation. He was not surprised at Lu Ge's choice. The strange pearl was very important to Lu Ge, and the strange food was no less important. They had just seen the role of the black tiger vine. What the black tiger vine said about its own role before was probably a bit modest. I don't know if it was because the strange pearls and flesh and blood provided by Chongshan were relatively sufficient when the black tiger vine was nurturing these fruits. These black tiger vine fruits are even stronger than what they said.
Ye Lu naturally couldn't bear to let it go.
According to Lu Ge's habit, as long as the strange plants on the mountain produce strange food, he will keep a portion for backup.
Some strange plants will even leave two copies.
Ye Lu even said that some specific strange foods would not be sold to outsiders in the future, and they would wait until they and the people of He Village had eaten enough.
"What else?"
"One for each caravan." Ye Lu looked at the two portions of black tiger vine fruit in his hand and said, "As for how to divide it, there are two bunches in one portion anyway. Let Ban Lan and Zhu Hui discuss it among themselves. As for the remaining portion, if Zhu Hui's caravan comes, you can ask them to bring it to Lan Ji."
Ye Lu looked at the ghost scholar and said, "Just say that it was me, Chongshan, who sent the strange food as agreed."
The ghost scholar did not ask Ye Lu why he wanted to give it to Lan Ji. He just believed in what Lu Ge said. He said, "I know."
"I'll take care of it with Yotsuba next."
"Okay, I'm going to move too." Ye Lu sighed and said helplessly.
