Chapter 135

When Xiao Langze and his friends came here last time, this place was still desolate. Before leaving, Su Ci led groundwater to irrigate the river.

Now, new Selaginella and moss have grown on both sides of the river, decorating the barren land, full of vigorous vitality.

It has just rained, and the land is wet. The Selaginella is baptized by the light rain, and the leaves are green and dripping. The new green against the yellow-brown soil gives people a visual impact that is difficult to describe in words.

Just watching the dewdrops rolling down from the green leaves makes people burst into joy from the bottom of their hearts.

In addition to Selaginella and moss, the bamboo shoots are also growing well. Small new bamboos are emerging from the soil, and the leaves are swaying gently in the moist breeze, as if waving to the new cubs.

"This place has become like a nursery!"

Little Langze ran out of the teleportation array, looking here and there, jumping and running on the river bank like the wind, with a hearty laughter full of energy, carrying an irresistible infectiousness.

"There weren't so many green plants last time I came..." Xiaolu Jiao looked at the plants on the ground and said, "Su Su, are these Selaginella? There are so many!"

Su Ci nodded, then held the Star Chain Spirit Tree and prepared to find a suitable place to plant it.

Led by Xiao Langze, the cubs who had been standing still and not daring to move also came out of the teleportation array one by one.

Xiao Luli was the first one to follow Su Ci to the river bank. He clearly remembered the scene when he first came here. Comparing it with what he saw in front of him, he couldn't imagine that this was the same place.

The world has begun to change.

Xiao Luli came to the river bank and looked down to the bottom of the river. He originally wanted to see the heroic souls that had merged into the earth, but the schools of fish in the river immediately attracted his attention.

"So many fish!"

Xuewei's voice rang beside him, and the little fat bird standing on her shoulder also called out happily.

Although she had seen scenery that was countless times more prosperous than the one before her, Xuewei still felt joy from the bottom of her heart when she stood on this river, looking at the new green, enjoying the gentle breeze, and looking at her excited and cheerful companions.

Outing is such a happy thing!

However, Xiao Lihua, who left the base for the first time, was a little uneasy. She held on to her brother's clothes tightly, snuggled up to him, and didn't leave.

She had lived in the nursery since she was a child, and was often locked in a room. She had always lived in a small space. Suddenly coming to such a spacious place without any shelter around her, Xiao Lihua felt scared.

Only by following her brother closely could she feel better.

Rong Heng was also in a daze.

He was not as scared as Xiao Lihua, because when he came to the nursery, he had already started to remember things, and he often got injured in fights and left the nursery to go to the infirmary for treatment.

However, looking at the open scenery in front of him, he inexplicably had some familiar feelings in his mind.

It seemed that he had been to a similar place when he was a child, and the man and woman who called him appeared in his mind again...

He could no longer remember what they looked like, let alone what they called him...

Rong Heng pursed his lips, and drove those pictures out of his mind in a somewhat annoyed manner. He lowered his head and was about to hold his sister's hand when he noticed that Xiao Lihua was different.

"What's wrong?" He squatted down and asked with concern.

Xiao Lihua shook her head.

Everyone was so happy, how could she say that she was scared and wanted to go back... She didn't want to make everyone unhappy.

However, her two little hands were clasped together nervously, and it was obvious that nothing happened.

"Xiangyang, what happened?" Xuewei, who was more concerned about them as siblings, also came over at this time.

"Sister Weiwei..." Xiao Lihua moved towards Xuewei and hugged her.

Xuewei noticed that her mood was not right, reached out and touched the top of her head, and asked softly: "Xiao Lihua, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." The little girl shook her head again.

Rong Heng looked at his sister, thought for a while, and asked patiently: "Is it because it's your first time going out, are you scared?"

Xiao Lihua looked at him pitifully and did not refute.

When she followed the breeder out to look for her brother before, they took a floating bus. Even after getting off the bus, she was inside the base and could see many tall buildings, so she didn't feel anything.

But this time was different.

The plains on both sides of the river were endless, and the base was so small that it could not be seen. It was the first time for her to experience such emptiness and loneliness.

Xiao Lihua was shocked, but she couldn't help but feel helpless and scared about what to do.

Hearing Rong Heng's words, Xuewei was stunned, "Is it the first time for Xiao Lihua to leave the base?"

"Yeah."

Rong Heng turned around and squatted, turned his head and said to Xiao Lihua, "Come on, brother will carry you."

Xiao Lihua obediently let go of Xuewei, climbed onto her brother's shoulders, lay on his back, and was carried by him.

"Do you feel better?" Rong Heng asked.

Little Lihua hummed softly, and finally a smile appeared on her face, "Brother is so nice."

She leaned her head on her brother's shoulder, feeling relieved. No matter what happened, she was not afraid.

Xuewei looked at the siblings, and her heart was a little complicated. She knew that Little Lihua grew up in a nursery with poor conditions, but it was not until this moment that she really realized the extent of this lack.

She just felt heartbroken, and she also realized how happy she was before.

"I'll go find Su Su and ask him if he can take us back first." Although he really wanted to play outside with other friends, in Rong Heng's heart, nothing was more important than his sister.

However, when he looked around, he saw that the young man had gone to the other side of the river without knowing when, and there was no bridge across the river for him to cross.

"Brother, I won't go back." Xiao Lihua buried her head in his shoulder and whispered.

Xuewei also restrained her expression and smiled, saying, "Yes, it's a rare opportunity to come out, and it would be a pity to go back like this."

Then she asked Xiao Lihua, "Why are you so scared, sister? Tell me, okay?"

Listening to Xuewei's soft whispers, Xiao Lihua finally spoke out her thoughts, "It's empty here..."

"Is it too empty?"

Xuewei looked at the exposed river bank, thought for a moment, and said, "Wait a minute, sister has a way."

Then she found a relatively flat place on the river bank, and then took off the bag on her back - in order to conveniently take things from the space button, she now carries a bag every day.

She unzipped the zipper and took out a palm-sized object from the backpack.

"Weiwei, what is this?" Xiao Langze, who was drooling at the fish in the river, noticed her movements and came over curiously.

"Compress the tent."

Xuewei put the compressed tent on the ground, untied the ropes, and ran away with Xiao Langze.

With a whoosh, the tent suddenly began to expand, from the size of a palm, and finally became a cylinder with an arched top, which was the shape of a yurt, with a diameter of about ten meters.

The cubs looked at the tent that suddenly appeared, and their faces showed novelty.

Xiao Lihua was also attracted.

Xuewei came to the door, lifted the curtain and said, "It should be more comfortable to enter the tent, right?"

Xiao Lihua's eyes sparkled, she nodded, and just as she was about to get off her brother's back, another figure had passed through the curtain that Xuewei lifted and entered the tent.

The speed was so fast that Xuewei almost thought she was seeing things.

"Xingxing, wait for me!" Xiao Langze's voice rang out, and then he also went into the tent.

Xuewei then realized that the figure just now was Xiao Zhengxing.

It turned out that the usually slow Xiao Zhengxing could be so fast?

When Su Ci and A Yan planted the Star Chain Spirit Tree on the other side of the river and came back, they saw that a tent had appeared on the river bank.

Except for the Red Flame Tiger, the other cubs were playing around the tent.

Xuewei also spread a picnic blanket next to the tent. Xiao Lihua sat next to her, chewing a bright red Star Chain fruit.

Rong Heng and Lu Li were accompanying them, getting along quite harmoniously, while Lang Ze and Lu Jiao were playing around the tent, laughing and making noises, looking carefree.

Looking at this scene, Su Ci couldn't help but stretch his back.

The weather was clear and refreshing, a good time for a picnic.

"Su Su."

Ran Lie, who had been waiting for a while, walked towards Su Ci. Although he didn't say it, Su Ci already understood what he meant by looking at the fighting spirit in his eyes.

However...

"We're not going to fight the giant spider today." Su Ci glanced at the fish in the river, touched his chin, and chuckled softly, "Let's try a different way of playing." The

Red Flame Tiger tilted his head, with confusion in his tiger eyes.

"Let's change the way we play?"

"Yes."

Su Ci called Rong Heng over, and then came to the river and said to the child, "Do you see the school of fish in the water?"

Rong Heng nodded. He had seen it a long time ago. This was also the first time he saw real fish. The feeling was different from what the base's intelligent computer showed him.

However, if he called Xiaozhi here, it would not appear. He could only ask it when he returned.

At this time, he heard the keeper say, "Get a few up."

Rong Heng was stunned and looked at Su Ci.

"Let me see your recent progress in cultivation." Su Ci squatted by the river and said lazily.

Hearing that he was going to test his homework, Rong Heng couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he still agreed and looked at the fish swimming in the water seriously.

Ran Lie, who was waiting for Su Ci to change the "rules of the game", couldn't help but blink when he saw that Su Ci ignored him and went to check Rong Heng instead. He didn't think there was anything wrong.

Ran Lie was also curious about Rong Heng's strength. It seemed that in addition to the strong physique of the red-tailed lion, he had also awakened a special ability.

It was just right, now he could see how much Rong Heng's strength had improved.

The two teenagers who had never been at odds with each other before, although their relationship has eased a lot now, have been secretly competing with each other, and neither of them would give in.

The situation here immediately attracted the wolf cubs and others, and several children came over curiously.

"Want to catch fish?" Little Langze was eager to try and wanted to jump into the river to catch fish, but Su Ci grabbed him by the back of his collar and hung him in the air. He flailed his limbs but couldn't get away.

"Su Su!" Little Langze called him unhappily.

Su Ci looked at him curiously, "Can you swim?"

"Swimming?" Little Langze tilted his head, "What is that?"

Su Ci was silent for a while, but Xue Wei next to him spoke up, "Langze, the river is deep. If you can't swim, you will drown if you jump in like this."

"But I didn't drown in the pool at the nursery."

Although he gulped a few times, he knew how to float his body after struggling.

So this is swimming?

"Swimming is super easy, I can do it!" Xiao Langze patted his chest with a proud look on his face.

Seeing him eager to try, Su Ci did not completely discourage him, but just carried him back to the shore and said, "Wait a moment, the fish were scared away by you, Xiangyang is not easy to catch."

"Okay then." Xiao Langze did not insist any more, and said obediently, "I'll go down later."

Then he urged Rong Heng, "Xiangyang, hurry up!"

While Xiao Langze and Su Ci were talking, Rong Heng had already spotted a fish.

His skill of controlling living things could not control living objects, but this did not pose a problem for Rong Heng.

As soon as Xiao Langze finished speaking, the fish flew out of the water.

However, the amazing thing was that the flying fish was wrapped in a water ball. Perhaps because of this, it did not struggle when it flew out of the river.

However, the weight of the water ball plus the fish was a bit too much for Rong Heng. He gritted his teeth, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in just a moment.

He struggled to control the water ball, and when he felt that he could not hold on in the air, he quickly threw it away.

The water ball brought the fish to the shore, and it fell into a pool of water. The fish out of the water began to struggle, swishing its tail vigorously, trying to return to the river.

Ran Lie raised his front paws, pressed the fish, and pinned it down.

"This fish is so small!" said little Langze.

This fish is actually not small, nearly 20 centimeters long, living in the spiritual water, with plenty of food, and growing very plump.

However, for the cubs who have seen giant spiders and have the red flame tiger in front of them, this fish is indeed a bit small.

"Not bad."

Su Ci expressed his affirmation of Rong Heng's smart approach, and then said, "Continue."

"Don't stop until your power of protecting things is completely consumed."

Rong Heng nodded vigorously and continued to catch fish.

Xuewei, who was standing next to him, suddenly realized that Susu was teaching Xiangyang how to use his power. This was something she had never learned in the nursery before.

Because how to control the power of beast blood is a secret of each family and is impossible to pass on to others. Beast blood owners are rarely employed as nursery teachers, and ordinary people naturally don’t know how to teach beast blood cubs to control their power.

Once a cub enters a frenzy, it will be sent back home for family education.

Xuewei suddenly realized a problem belatedly - her blood frenzy seemed to have stopped after she came to the nursery?

And the other cubs in the nursery did not show signs of frenzy... oh yes, except for Lielie.

But after he was completely transformed into a beast, his mood was always stable and he was still able to speak. Even though he was unhappy when she stroked his fur, he didn't get angry with her and had a very good temper.

This was completely different from her previous understanding of frenzy!

At least, when she herself was in a frenzy, she couldn't control herself at all. Even after she regained consciousness, her memory of the frenzy would be vague, just like...

She couldn't remember how she hurt the lady at all. She only remembered that when she woke up, the lady had fallen in a pool of blood...

Recalling the painful memory, Xuewei's face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

At this time, she felt a palm gently fall on the top of her head. She suddenly forgot the pain, and only the memory of warmth and happiness remained.

Xuewei blinked and looked up.

The young man came to her side at some point and stroked her head gently, giving her an inexplicable sense of security.

Yes, it was Susu...

Susu was in the brooding house. It was Susu who appeared whenever her emotions got out of control and resolved her pain!

Moreover, this kind of resolution could not be achieved by simple companionship - Xuewei knew this very well, as she had hurt the most important person to her in a frenzy.

So, was this the reason why the dean and the gentleman sent her to the brooding house? Because Susu was here, he could help the cubs resolve the frenzy of their blood power!

Xuewei suddenly felt that a knot in her heart had been untied.

Although she understood why the master sent her away, and she also felt that she should be sent away, but... how could she not feel hurt?

The nursery was so far away from the Tes Empire, and she might never see them again in her life...

But now, after knowing that the master actually sent her far away for her own good, not because he hated her, she felt much better.

"Thank you, Su Su." Xue Wei had tears in her eyes, but a happy and relieved smile on her face.

Seeing that the girl's mood had stabilized, Su Ci rubbed her furry rabbit ears, then retracted his hand, looked at Ran Lie and said, "Next, it's your turn."

Two question marks suddenly appeared on Ran Lie's head.

Su Ci did not explain, but took out a metal rod from the space button, cleaned it and pierced the fish, then controlled the metal to generate two tripods and placed the fish on them.

"What you are going to practice today is how to control fire." Su Ci said, and a cluster of flames appeared in his hand.

Ran Lie couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This is the red flame! His feeling must be right!

Su Su also mastered the power of the red flame? Isn't this a unique ability of the red flame tiger?

"Look carefully." Su Ci said.

Ran Lie quickly restrained his expression and watched Su Ci control the flame and roast the fish below.

His control over the red flame was so exquisite that the flame, which was so hot that it could even burn metal, did not burn the fish directly to ash, nor did it even burn the fish scales.

Ran Lie was fascinated by it and subconsciously used his mental power to observe every detail of Su Ci's fire control.

It was really amazing...

Su Ci demonstrated it to him once, then withdrew his power and said, "It's up to you now. Your task is to roast the fish, but not burn it, let alone turn it into charcoal."

At the same time, he looked at the child next to him, "Ayan, you command him and make sure he makes a grilled fish that is edible."

"Okay." Ayan responded.

Seeing that Rong Heng and Ran Lie were given training tasks, Xiao Langze suddenly didn't want to go fishing, because Su Su had given him a task before, asking him to challenge himself to learn the sound illusion within a month!

He also wanted to take Xingxing and Youyou to the illusion to ride the big yellow cattle!

So, he quickly took out the bamboo flute, ran to the side of the new bamboos, and began to practice. Soon, the river bank was filled with the sound of the flute.

"Chirp~Chirp~"

The little tit flew to the new bamboos and chirped in harmony with the flute. When the water lilies in the river bloom, it should be said that there are birds singing and flowers blooming, right?

Su Ci sat down on the picnic blanket, took out the freshly picked star chain fruit from the space button, and called the other cubs to come and eat.

Xiao Lihua had already eaten one, which was given to her by Xuewei. She was full now, so she didn't take it.

She sat next to Su Ci, holding her small drawing board, and began to paint.

The cubs felt the breeze from the river bank, breathed the fresh air, nibbled the sweet fruit one bite at a time, and then looked at Ran Lie and Rong Heng expectantly.

I don't know what grilled fish tastes like? When Ran Lie succeeds in grilling it, can they have a taste?

The cubs were happily waiting to eat grilled fish. On the other side of the river, Yun Zixu sneaked out of the base and was observing the situation with a telescope. He had a look of doubt on his face.

What was going on?

Why did the cubs run outside the base... for a picnic? ? ?
