Chapter 61: New Weird Plants The three of them had not talked to the rabbit for long, and together...
The three of them hadn't talked to the rabbit for long when a childish voice followed and shouted: "Alu, Alu, I'm going to bloom!!"
Ye Lu raised his head suddenly.
However, the rabbits reacted faster than him. They all raised their heads and stared at the branches of the laurel tree. The next second, they were moving quickly under the tree, patting the ground with their big feet. From time to time, they would rub the bark of the laurel tree with their fur.
Under the moonlight?
The laurel tree is more dazzling?
Under the green branches, tiny flower buds appeared at some point. They quickly grew in the moonlight, from green to white, and continued to grow larger. As the medicine rabbits rubbed the bark from time to time, the silver moonlight passed from the medicine rabbits' fur to the bark of the laurel tree, and then along the bark to the flower buds.
The buds slowly bloom.
Soon, a faint fragrance appeared in front of everyone.
The medicine rabbits did not stop pounding the medicine until all the flower buds on the tree bloomed. The faint fragrance almost filled the entire forest, and the moonlight was also condensed in the flower buds. Only then did all the rabbits stop using their fur to transmit the moonlight.
At this time, the entire laurel tree was covered in silver.
The white flowers hang heavily on the branches, exuding a subtle fragrance.
The laurel tree bloomed faster than anyone imagined. After it fully blossomed, the medicine rabbits stopped rubbing against the tree. The laurel tree's consciousness slowly calmed down, became less active, and fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Lu was a little worried about the laurel tree, so he stood guard beside it and signaled the other two to go back first while he would take a look.
Where is Yuegui? It has been sleeping for several days. Its consciousness is slowly waking up. When it sees Ye Lu beside it, it panics and says, "Alu, Alu, why are my magic balls gone?"
As soon as Laurel woke up, he found that all the strange power in his body had disappeared. How could Laurel, who was already a bit stingy, bear this? He finally shouted for his companion.
"It's okay, it's okay. You just bloomed, laurel. After the flowers bloomed, those strange power balls will be gone. When it bears fruit, you can exchange the fruit for more strange power balls." Ye Lu was also familiar with the laurel tree's brain circuits and answered very smoothly. The medicine rabbit next to it seemed to sense something was wrong and poked its furry head out from behind the roots of the tree to watch the new lord fooling the tree.
Laurel was skeptical and said, "Really? But that's the magic power I've saved for a long time."
"Really, really." Ye Lu said firmly, his tone was very sure: "Yuegui, when did I ever lie to you? Have you forgotten that I got the black soil and the broken pieces of the Swamp Tree Beads, those things you loved to eat so much, in exchange for them?"
"..." As soon as Laurel thought of the two things Ye Lu said, he instantly believed what the other party said, as if it was indeed the case, and A Lu had never lied to him.
The laurel tree slowly calmed down again.
Ye Lu breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace. He was afraid that once the laurel tree took over, it would ask the medicine rabbit to chop off all the flower buds on its branches. How could Ye Lu bear that?
After that, Ye Lu always guarded around the laurel tree, and sometimes he would ask the playful man and the ghost scholar to guard it. After almost a few months, the three of them slowly relaxed, and there was no sign of the flowers falling.
The medicine rabbits seemed to have found a new direction. They carefully rubbed their hair into a small strand, like a small comb, and then stuck the pollen inside the flower bit by bit into the core of another flower. They were very careful throughout the process and did not even knock over a single flower.
Nearly half a year has passed?
The flowers fell slowly, and the white petals were collected by the medicine rabbits before they fell to the ground and used as food. Small green fruits appeared on the branches where the flowers should have been.
These small and exquisite fruits are not even as big as a thumb. They curl up quietly under the branches, absorbing the mysterious power.
At this time, the white millet in the fields should be harvested.
Ye Lu and the other two were so busy that they were dizzy. They had been looking after the laurel tree all this time. Once the laurel tree recovered, they became busy again. They didn't even have time to look for the strange plant, so they were a little flustered. However, when they arrived in the field, they found a group of big rabbits busy working.
They don't even need tools, claws, or teeth. The sharp blades they are born with are much more useful than those used by humans.
Who would have believed that the rabbits would even pull out the millet ears, tie them together, and put them in piles, and then bundle the remaining plants to feed the livestock. As for the rabbits, they only carefully selected the tenderest millet leaves as rewards.
When Ye Lu and his friends arrived at the field, the big rabbits had almost finished their work.
The big rabbit in the lead turned around and looked at the three people who were shocked. He touched his ears shyly, and his weak consciousness carefully touched Ye Lu below him, saying: "Master, Master of the Mountain, we only took the tender millet leaves as agreed, and we didn't touch the strange plant fruits."
The medicine rabbits also have to raise their young. As a kind of strange beast, it is of course best for them to eat the leaves of strange plants. But where in the world can they get so many leaves of strange plants for them to eat? Each strange plant is more ferocious than the other, and the tribe that worships the strange plants is also very ferocious. The big rabbits can only live a half-hungry life.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived here, they first found their favorite strange branches and leaves.
Not long after, they received another agreement from the lord. No matter how bad the white millet was, it was still a Baiyou-level strange plant, and its leaves were genuine strange plant leaves. The big rabbits were very happy.
The big rabbit in the lead kicked its legs a little uneasily. Oh my God, they actually picked the tenderest leaves. In the past, they would have been lucky to find old leaves.
Ye Lu looked at the group of big rabbits with extremely gentle eyes at this moment. He didn't care at all that the big rabbits often changed the way they addressed him. These were not rabbits, but his most adorable little babies, each of them could work better than the three of them combined.
"It's okay, you can take more." Ye Lu's spiritual sense responded with incomparable gentleness.
The big rabbit relaxed when he saw that the mountain master was not angry. He said happily: "That's enough, that's enough. Even if we only pick the tenderest leaves, our tribe can eat them for a long time. We can also dry them and save them for the winter. We can store the leaves in the cave. There are also petals dropped from the big trees. There is a lot to eat. We will definitely have a good winter this year."
There are not many medicine rabbits in the clan, at most only a few dozen. This is the result after Ye Lu counted the baby rabbits that were carried out by the big rabbits that night. As strange beasts, medicine rabbits do have reproductive capacity, but it's a pity that it is not strong enough to be seen with the naked eye.
Ye Lu withdrew his gaze with regret. He could only hope that the medicine rabbits would give birth soon.
Ye Lu and the other two were completely free.
The big rabbits took care of drying the white millet. The only pity was that the rabbits didn't know how to make pottery. The strange beasts were naturally afraid of fire, and the big rabbits with their beautiful fur were even more afraid of fire. Ye Lu and his friends could only go down the mountain to buy pottery jars and large vats, and then the medicine-pounding rabbits would put the ground millet into the pottery jars.
Occasionally there would be scattered tools in the small building, and the big rabbits would put them in order. All you had to do was give them a bay leaf, and they would be so happy that their ears would stand up.
Even a scholar with a heart as black as a ghost would be extra gentle towards the big rabbits.
All Ye Lu and the other two needed to do was to take turns looking after the laurel tree.
Bay seeds grow larger over time.
Ye Lu and his friends were completely free now.
At this time, Ye Lu and the others discovered something was wrong. The Ximing people had not come to the forest for a long time.
Ye Lu waited under the laurel tree for a long time, but the assassin still did not show up. Instead, the ghost scholar walked over slowly. Because he arrived at the three mountains, the ghost scholar's talent was fully stimulated, and his skills doubled. His strength increased a lot, and he didn't have to be as nervous as before. Now the ghost scholar has officially joined the patrol team.
"Where did Ah Xi go?" Ye Lu frowned and asked the ghost scholar.
The ghost scholar was stunned. He then realized that he hadn't seen the playful man for a long time. It's not that they didn't pay attention to him, but after the playful man said he would not participate in the patrol, they thought he was temporarily busy and didn't pay attention to him.
But only now did they realize that the Ximing people had not participated in the patrol for a month.
Although Xi Mingren is lively by nature and doesn't like to stay in one place, he will not delay doing what he is supposed to do. However, something unexpected happened this time.
The ghost scholar asked in confusion: "I'm not sure. He went out directly in the morning. What about you? You didn't see him either. I thought he came to the woods to exchange you." Because everyone is thinking about the same thing now, or going to the mountains to look for strange plants. It's a pity that Ye Lu and the other two are unlucky and haven't found anything until now.
By the way, no one in the village found the strange plant.
"Has Ah Xi had any other reaction since he came back during this period?" Ye Lu touched his chin and asked. The ghost scholar remembered these things very clearly.
The ghost scholar paused, and he suddenly remembered the abnormality he had seen with the playful man recently. At the beginning of last month, when the playful man came back from the mountain, his body was covered in blood and he looked extremely embarrassed. The two of them were shocked at the time, thinking that some high-level monster had broken in, and they were bumped into by the playful man, so they couldn't help but ask questions immediately.
The playful man shook his head and said it was nothing, he just encountered a strange beast.
When asked about the strange beast again, he didn't say anything. Instead, he said that there was nothing wrong with the strange beast and its strength was quite good.
Because everyone was very busy at that time, and after confirming that Xi Ming Ren was fine, the Ghost Scholar didn't pay much attention to it. After all, although Xi Ming Ren was still a little embarrassed afterwards, his strength was getting stronger and stronger, and his ghost power was also steadily increasing. It was obvious that he was getting benefits, which should not be a bad thing.
Now that I think about it, there really are flaws everywhere.
But Xi Mingren's strength was enough to reassure the two.
The ghost scholar told Ye Lu what he had thought of. Ye Lu was stunned. It was obvious that he had also thought of something. Wait, Ye Lu pinched his fingers and suddenly remembered something. He said thoughtfully: "Some time ago, Ah Xi seemed to ask me about the difference in the aura when I found the strange plant."
"He came to you? To ask this?" The ghost scholar raised his eyes and looked at Ye Lu.
Ye Lu nodded and said, "I remember that not long after he came back from his injuries, I told him my specific feelings, and he seemed to understand something and left again."
The two of them checked quickly. Yes, and then they found that the playful man had become completely elusive since that moment.
"..." The ghost scholar looked at Ye Lu, seeming to be hesitant to speak. Putting the matter together, even a fool would know what would happen.
"Wait a minute, let's talk about it after Ah Xi comes back." Ye Lu waved his hand and said, what if they were overthinking it? Ah Xi might have met a strange beast that he got along well with in the back mountain, and the man and the beast had a great fight, so he forgot about his two brothers in the mountain.
The ghost scholar had no choice but to give up.
The playful man did not come back from the mountain until the evening. There was a light red sunset glow on the horizon. The playful man walked out of the mountain lightly. His steps were as light as feathers. He waved the dominoes in his hand, covering the corners of his lips, and looked at a corner on his left with a bit of coldness in his eyes.
There is someone there.
The next moment, Ye Lu flashed out from behind the tree.
The playful man's expression instantly calmed down and he put down the dominoes.
The playful man glanced at the ghost scholar who came out from the other side. He moved his fingers, put away the dominoes, and said concisely: "Are you waiting for me?"
"Yes." Ye Lu took the lead and asked bluntly: "I want to ask you where you have been during this period of time? Or have you encountered any difficulties that require our help?"
"Ah, so that's how it is." The playful man suddenly realized what was going on. He thought it was something else and asked, "Did you find something wrong?"
"Nonsense, you've been in the mountain for such a short time, how could you not know?" The ghost scholar said helplessly.
"I met a strange beast in the mountains not long ago. Didn't I tell you about it? It's a bear-like strange beast, and it's very powerful." When he said this, Xi Mingren licked the corner of his lips and said happily: "We communicated very well."
"So you were beaten so badly because of it?" Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and teased.
"No, it's not just me. To be more precise, he is not much better off either." The playful man refused to admit it and emphasized that although he was injured, the bear was also seriously injured as he had chopped off one of its forearms.
"That's all?"
"Not really..." Xi Mingren said hesitantly, "The strange beast has a strange plant. It can recover so quickly because of the strange plant. However, it is about to die of old age."
Weird plant!
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar's pupils shrank. They never expected that their guess was actually true. The playful man actually encountered a strange plant.
"I don't know the specific function of the strange plant. The beast is very alert and won't let me get close to it. But it will die tomorrow, so I should go there. When it dies, the strange plant will be given to me." The man with the strange life said in a very ordinary tone: "It has been fighting with me all this time, probably to confirm whether I am strong enough to protect this strange plant."
"Now that it has confirmed that I am strong enough, it can naturally rest assured and die."
Ye Lu couldn't help but look at the ghost scholar, and both could see the shock in each other's eyes.
During this period of time, they have come to realize how rare strange plants are in this world. Up to now, not a single strange plant has been found in the entire He Village.
Including people with gifted bloodlines like Ye Lu?
And what about the playful people? They just go into the mountains and randomly look for a strange beast to fight. They may bump into a strange beast to entrust their orphans to.
Is this kid's luck good or bad?
