Although the wild slave was valuable, it was difficult to hunt. Once it appeared on the market, it would definitely attract attention. In order to survive, the two decided to hunt other prey.
Luckily, following the wild slaves, we soon encountered a group of geese-sized creatures at the edge of a swamp, known for their ferocious fighting... pheasants or dinosaurs?
Uh! The name here is Nifeng, which means like a phoenix.
In fact, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi felt that they were more like Archaeopteryx. Their heads, wings, and tails were very similar to the Archaeopteryx in textbooks.
Especially the mouth, which is wide and full of sharp fangs, and the wings have claws that shine like silver.
The only thing they resembled a phoenix was probably their long tails, but their legs were exceptionally strong and sturdy.
According to Zhou Yanzhi's memory, there were many kinds of pseudo-phoenixes in the wasteland. The one they encountered was a mid-to-high-level wild beast that could fight against a mid-level Qi Refiner without losing.
"This luck is incredible!" Xiao Yu muttered.
Zhou Yanzhi expressed his agreement, but the eagerness in his eyes showed that Mr. Zhou was actually very satisfied with this group of non-venomous opponents.
☆
Finally, the fight started. Xiao Yufa, who was assigned to finish off the enemy, discovered that when this thing started fighting, it used its claws, beak, and feathers together.
When they use their front and back claws to scratch people, they feel like shrews, but their nails are very long, and a casual scratch can definitely rip people open.
Coupled with a mouth full of sharp teeth, it is hard to guard against.
The most amazing thing is their feathers, whether on their wings or tails. They can actually fall off at any time like bees and turn into sharp arrows for sneak attacks.
Xiao Yu imagined that if these creatures shook their feathers together in tacit coordination, the scene would probably be no less than the simultaneous firing of thousands of arrows in the immortal cultivation dramas.
☆
"Bang!" Xiao Yu fiercely slapped a phoenix that had attacked him with the flat of his knife. The phoenix stretched its head and rushed towards him. At that moment, if its feathers were not white enough, it would have looked like the big white goose from the neighbor's house that had a grudge against him.
Xiao Yu didn't know what the weakness of this thing was. He was afraid that he would be as thick-skinned as Huang Nu, or there was a saying that goes "a dead duck still has a tough mouth", so he simply used the blade to hit the other party's bald head.
Then, the pseudo-phoenix swayed on the spot and fell to the ground with a thud.
Xiao Yu: (⊙o⊙)…
☆
Xiao Yu absolutely didn't believe that this thing was dead just like that. So he had no intention of getting close. But when another mimic phoenix came over, he continued to increase his strength and hit it hard.
"Crack!" Xiao Yu heard it this time. He seemed to have used too much force and smashed the other person's brain.
"Diu, diu, diu..." Perhaps because their companions were knocked unconscious by the two-legged sheep one after another, several pseudo-phoenixes watching from afar began to flap their wings and tails, launching long-range "hidden weapons" at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu looked up at the sky, and the next second he quickly retreated underground. Then he burrowed underground and came to the side of the pseudo-phoenixes that had just attacked him.
"Bang, bang, bang..." He clapped three times quickly, like playing whack-a-mole.
Compared to the simple and brutal battle between Xiao Yu and Ni Feng.
Zhou Yanzhi seemed to be looking for a sparring partner.
It’s just that his sparring partner wasn’t very good, and from time to time he would attack those who were watching the fight instead of doing their job.
Seeing that they were so "unemployed", Zhou Yanzhi simply stopped "playing" and imitated Xiao Yu, shooting at their heads one by one with the spear in his hand.
Soon, a group of more than 30 phoenixes were captured by the two men.
Zhou Yanzhi checked the time. It was ten o'clock in the morning. He then continued to travel through the wilderness with Xiao Yu. However, in the next two hours, their luck was not so good.
I didn’t even encounter a single wild beast.
However, after Xiao Yu saw a tree similar to star anise, Zhou Yanzhi discovered a tea tree that was a thousand years old.
"Is it really a tea tree?" Xiao Yu didn't know much about tea trees. The main reason was that he liked drinking tea in his past and future lives, but had never seen a tea tree.
Zhou Yanzhi smiled and said, "It's a bit like the old tea from Wuyi Mountain." He picked a few leaves and smelled them. "It's tea, not poisonous. I'll pick the tea leaves, and you pick the tea fruits."
"Okay." Although Xiao Yu didn't know the specific uses of tea fruit, he had seen some advertisements about tea oil before. It was said that it could improve metabolism, beautify the skin, and increase the various trace elements in the body. In short, it was particularly magical. It was also something that ordinary people like him could not afford.
☆
Considering the abundance of snakes in the wilderness, the two of them affixed several Dunjia talismans to their bodies before taking action. Xiao Yu even took out the Earth God Seal and used his spiritual energy to activate the Earth God's might within it.
Because of this action, before the two of them could even do anything, the small snakes hiding in the dense tea trees panicked and left the "amusement park" and ran home.
Even if it was autumn tea, the tea trees were a thousand years old and the quantity was considerable. Furthermore, the tea didn't seem to have much spiritual energy, but as Zhou Yanzhi picked it, a switch was triggered, and the two people who went deeper into it were slowly surrounded by a green, fresh spiritual energy.
Seeing that Mr. Zhou was picking fruits very seriously, Xiao Yu also adjusted his attitude, took out a bamboo basket, and picked fruits carefully.
He got a tea fruit and looked at it. He felt strangely familiar. After picking for a while, he suddenly understood. This thing, no matter its size or shape, was exactly like a cotton boll, but when the cotton boll was dyed scarlet, it basically exploded and spit out snow-white cotton.
Xiao Yu put the tea fruit to his nose and smelled it. There was a green and astringent fruit fragrance on the skin. When he opened the skin, there were ten red and black seeds inside.
"Didn't they say tea fruit is edible? How do I eat this?" Xiao Yu looked at the four black seeds in red. It was obvious that they were not edible. However, the peeled skin had a very fresh smell that made people want to smell it again and again.
☆
"What are you two doing?" Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi had almost picked all the fruits and tea leaves from the tea tree. Two or three monks passing by stood under the tree and asked curiously.
Xiao Yu took a look and saw that they were three people at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Zhou Yanzhi paused, looked down at them, and replied, "Fellow Daoist, don't you know tea? Although this tree doesn't have much spiritual energy, this tea that has been through the cold and heat is quite good. If you like it, we can give the rest to the three of you."
The three initially thought the two had discovered some secret, but when they heard it was tea, they immediately lost interest. One of them immediately said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you are in a good mood. We won't interfere. You two can pick it slowly."
"Is this fruit edible?" One of the people in the team was interested in the tea fruit picked by Xiao Yu.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu generously threw five or six of them to the other party: "I just tasted it, it's bitter. But my Taoist partner said that this thing can be used to make tea."
The person who just received the fruit:-_-||! No wonder they are so generous!
"More?"
"Uh, no thanks, I'll just play with these."
"I think it smells refreshing." Xiao Yu said kindly.
The three people under the tree smiled. They also knew that tea can refresh the mind, and it was nothing strange that tea and fruit can be refreshing.
