Chapter 186
Ran Lie did not surround Su Ci like the other cubs. He squatted in a corner not far away, looking indifferent, but actually listening with his ears raised.
As a result, he suddenly heard Su Ci's question.
He couldn't help but look to the side to see who the keeper was asking, and ended up meeting the young man's lazy eyes that seemed to be still asleep.
Ran Lie: "..."
The question just now, wasn't it asked to him?
"Me?" He pointed at himself.
"Yeah." Su Ci nodded to express his affirmation.
"..."
Ran Lie thought for a while, stood up and walked over.
Yun Zixu had seen the power of the Red Flame Tiger and knew that its flames were the nemesis of monsters. In addition, among the cubs, only this red-haired boy had tiger ears on his head and tiger stripes on his face, so he guessed his identity.
So after a slight pause, he was able to accept Su Ci's proposal, but his companions were different.
Facing their questioning eyes, Ran Lie just curled his lips and looked at Su Ci and said, "Why do you want me to go?"
Su Ci did not answer this question, but looked at Yun Zixu, "You should know the ability of this child. I can let him go to the 26th base to help you, but there are conditions."
"What conditions?" Yun Zixu asked.
Su Ci took out a bulging golden bag from the spirit storage bag, which was filled with the spirit grass seeds collected before.
"Do you know what this is?" he said.
Yun Zixu shook his head.
"A seed of a mutant plant." Su Ci said.
This time, not only Yun Zixu, but also Wei Ming and Zhuang Shisong, who seemed to be observing plants not far away but were actually paying attention to this side, couldn't help but look over.
The two of them looked at each other, and then ran over in a hurry.
After Su Ci accepted them as students, the green land on the river bank was also under their management.
Although they had guessed before that in addition to the nursery, keepers Su should have other planting areas, they didn't expect that it would be such a vast land!
It took them a long time to walk from the beginning to the end of the river that was more than a thousand meters long. The well-growing green plants along the way and the clear water in the river were all eye-opening.
If it weren't for the red mist still lingering in the sky, they would have suspected that they were not on the Hell Planet, but on an agricultural planet.
On the other side of the river, the vast wasteland between the base and the river in their impression was now firmly covered by the vines of the Star Chain Fruit. They finally knew where the mutant Star Chain Fruit transplanted by the Su breeder had gone.
It was just strange that the two Star Chain Fruits in the nursery, which had the same characteristic of growth, did not grow to such a large scale.
Could it be related to the growth environment?
They made various assumptions and wanted to run over to study it carefully.
Unfortunately, the fight between the giant insects that could be seen from a distance still calmed them down.
The wasteland was full of star chain fruits and many bright red spiritual fruits, which became the food source of these giant insects and now have become the habitat of these insects.
Of course, in addition to insects, some larger creatures are gradually appearing. They feed on insects and spiritual fruits and use this plain as a hunting ground.
But the strange thing is that although there is only a river between them, these creatures did not cross the river and run to the river to harm the green land planted by Su the breeder.
Fortunately, the wasteland is basically full of mutant animals, not those strange and terrifying monsters.
So after the initial worry, Zhuang Shisong and Wei Ming quickly adapted to it.
They carefully screened the green plants along the river and only found a mutant Selaginella and a mutant green bamboo. Apart from that, no other mutant plants were found.
The temperaments of these two plants are very gentle, which is very different from the mutant plants they had encountered and learned about before.
Or, it is more appropriate to be the "spiritual plant" that the breeder Su mentioned.
There are so many places on the river that are worth their research. It is naturally impossible for them to study them all in just one week.
And now, looking at the mutant plant seeds in the hands of the breeder Su, they stared at them, and they really want to know which mutant plant seeds these are.
Is it Selaginella? Or is it that green bamboo?
Yun Zixu also knew the importance of mutant plants. He looked at Su Ci and was about to ask when he saw Su Ci throwing the golden bag to him.
Realizing the preciousness of these seeds, Yun Zixu hurriedly caught them.
"This bag of seeds will be sent to Base 26." Su Ci said, "As for its specific function, just plant it in the bare land and you will know it."
There is such a good thing!
"Okay, okay! Thank you, breeder Su!" Yun Zixu responded repeatedly.
He thought of the river to the east of Base 24 and the green land on the other side of the river, so could the seeds of these mutant plants be related to the green land?
"Don't thank me yet." Su Ci said, "You can take the seeds, but in a month, I want to see the green area of Base 26 increase to at least 10,000 square meters."
Yun Zixu was stunned and asked, "What do you mean by green area?"
Su Ci: "The planting area of green plants."
Yun Zixu's mouth twitched, "You mean, within a month, Base 26 needs to open up 10,000 square meters of land and plant all green plants?"
Su Ci nodded.
Yun Zixu's face turned green. Although the cultivation garden of Base 26 has developed well, it also uses soilless cultivation technology. Let alone 10,000 square meters, there is not even one square meter of green land...
10,000 square meters in a month... This Su breeder really dares to think!
Just when he was about to refute, Yun Zixu couldn't help looking at the bulging gold bag in his hand. He felt that Su the breeder should not be the kind of person who would shoot without a purpose.
Normal people know that this condition is impossible to achieve, but since he said so, does it prove... that it is actually possible to achieve it?
And the key lies in this bag of mutant plant seeds?
Yun Zixu felt his heart pounding.
As Ran Lie listened to the conversation between the two, he was reluctant at first, but his expression gradually calmed down.
He was not afraid of facing monsters. After all, he dared to break into the giant spider's nest alone, so how could he be afraid of fighting monsters? As long as he regarded this as experience and practice, there was nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that now he knew that this matter was related to farming.
But...
Ran Lie glanced at Yun Zixu and the others, pursed his lips, and asked, "Do I just need to eliminate monsters when I go to Base 26? Then when can I come back?"
In the past, he yearned for the outside world and thought about escaping all the time, but now he felt very uncomfortable when he thought about leaving the nursery next.
Su Ci looked at Ran Lie and chuckled, "Are you reluctant to leave?"
Ran Lie couldn't help choking.
He snorted and turned away. Although he said nothing, his thoughts could be seen from the gradually spreading blush on his face.
Su Ci did not tease him anymore, but looked at Yun Zixu and said, "Tell me about the situation at your base."
Yun Zixu put away the bag of plant seeds properly. When he heard Su Ci's question, he described in detail the types and numbers of monsters that Base 26 had encountered recently, as well as the situation of the garrison at their base.
In theory, these should be military secrets, but Yun Zixu also knew that if you ask someone to do something for you, you should have the attitude of asking someone to do it for you. Moreover, if he explained the situation, maybe Su the breeder would feel uneasy and be willing to go with him?
For a while, the only sound on the green field was Yun Zixu's.
Not only Su Ci and Ran Lie, but also the other cubs around them listened carefully. This was knowledge they had never been exposed to before.
After Yun Zixu finished speaking, he looked at Su Ci expectantly, but unfortunately he was destined to be disappointed.
"I'll give you a week first." He said, "After a week, Base 26 needs to send the cub back safely."
Hearing that it would take seven days, Ran Lie pursed his lips slightly, and Yun Zixu and his group also frowned.
With the garrison strength of their Base 26, they couldn't withstand these monsters, so now they had to find external aid. This Su breeder actually asked a cub in his early teens to complete this impossible task within seven days?
Are they too weak, or is this Su breeder too arrogant?
Su Ci ignored their thoughts and continued to look at the wolf-tailed boy next to him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Langze, you should go too."
Ran Lie was not afraid of the red mist because of his practice of Buddhist cultivation and the effect of the power of red flames. Langze was undoubtedly the most emotionally stable and least susceptible to the red mist among the current cubs.
With the garlic spray, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Moreover, the sound illusion he practiced can control the most monsters with the least consumption. When combined with Ran Lie's fire attack, it will have a very good effect.
Su Ci was still quite relieved that the two of them went out together. As for the other children... it was not suitable for them to go into the red mist for the time being.
After all, even Rong Heng, who has the most stable personality, will be affected by Hong Wu, not to mention the other cubs who have some minor problems.
Langze, who was suddenly named, was stunned.
"Ah? I'm going too!" His expression suddenly collapsed, "Then I won't be able to eat the meals cooked by Wenwen and Yan Ya's mother for a week!"
It was like facing a monster, which was not a terrible thing. What he cared about most was not being able to eat delicious meals.
Su Ci glanced at him, thought for a while, and said: "When you come back, let A Yan personally cook a table for you."
The little wolf cub's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Can you eat anything you want?" he asked.
"Yeah." Su Ci nodded, "Whatever you want to eat, you can order whatever you want."
"Great!"
Langze shouted happily. Just as he was about to agree, he felt a small hand beside him pulling his sleeve. He lowered his head and saw Zhengxing leaning against him, with a slightly smirking mouth.
He immediately calmed down.
Langze scratched his head and looked at Su Ci and said, "Susu, can I take Xingxing with me? Don't worry, I will protect him!"
Hearing Langze say that he would take him with him, Zhengxing's hand holding his sleeve immediately loosened.
But before he could run to hide under the green vine, Langze put his arm around his shoulders and said happily in his ear, "Go to Base 26, and we can take the spaceship!"
Zhengxing's feet, which wanted to escape, stopped immediately.
Langze secretly pointed at Yun Zixu and the others, and said in what he thought was a low voice: "Did you hear what I just said? Their base is very rich, so they must have a lot of battleships!"
Yun Zixu: "..."
He could hear such a loud conspiracy. Thank you!
Zhengxing was completely unable to move, and turned his little face to Su Ci. The change from resistance to expectation was just a blink of an eye.
Su Ci couldn't help laughing.
But who could bear to reject little Zhengxing? Moreover, this child was the most "stable" among the cubs.
"Okay." Su Ci said, "But you can play as you like, but you can't hurt yourself."
Zhengxing nodded his head vigorously.
Even if other cubs wanted to go, they were rejected by Su Ci. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so they should work hard on their cultivation first.
Therefore, the cubs who finally decided to go to Base 26 to help were Ran Lie, Lang Ze, and Zheng Xing.
No matter how much Yun Zixu felt that a week was too demanding, he had no choice but to agree to it for now.
And when Su Ci taught the three cubs that if Base 26 did not implement its promise to farm, they could refuse to go to the battle, he really had no other tricks except to smile.
Fortunately, after the three children agreed, Li Sinian also volunteered to go with them.
"After all, this is the first time for these three children to go away, right? It's better to have an adult with them." Li Sinian said.
Although he wanted to stay with his wife and children, he still felt unreliable when he saw that the Su breeder actually sent the three cubs out like this.
He didn't know the strength of the three children, but he felt that there must be a guardian present.
After all, some scenes require more than just strength.
Su Ci had no objection, but Yun Zixu was delighted.
Even though they were far away in Hell Star, they had heard about the powerful Li Sinian of the Tes Empire. When they heard that he was going with them, Yun Zixu's companions finally relaxed their brows. Although
the Beast Warriors were more susceptible to the red mist, now with the garlic spray, there was no need to worry too much about this problem.
With such powerful foreign aid, we finally have a little more confidence in dealing with monsters!
