Although the number of crystal forests seems to be quite large, less than one in a hundred crystal pillars actually contain magic crystals. In other words, in a crystal forest the size of one acre, there are actually only a handful of magic crystals at most.
However, the crystal mine is still growing slowly. As time goes by, it will absorb energy and produce magic crystals. Adding other foreign substances can only be regarded as fertilizer, which will make the growth faster.
Doudou was even more anxious than Qin Xiaoxia outside, but he was afraid that the crystal mine would absorb him as "fertilizer" so he didn't dare to go in.
When I saw Qin Xiaoxia holding a beautiful crystal in his hand, I knew that I had succeeded.
"Hahahaha, oh my my my, big cousin! Can you give me this magic crystal!!!"
As if he had seen the most attractive toy, Doudou rushed over and hugged Qin Xiaoxia's thighs.
"I'm ready to forge the latest gold coin! Give it to me, give it to me, I haven't even touched the magic crystal yet!!"
He jumped up several times and tried to grab the crystal, but Qin Xiaoxia dodged it every time.
"Don't make a fuss. I can't give it to you yet. Besides, we don't have any gold mines right now. I'll get you another one later."
"What are you going to do with this one?"
Doudou was a little depressed, as if his candy was snatched away, but finally his cousin promised to give him one later.
Although this pill was not for him, Doudou still thought about what his cousin was going to do with it, and followed him closely like a follower.
Soon he reached the half-dead tree shepherd.
That’s right, Qin Xiaoxia was planning to rescue the Son of Thorns.
His magic seemed like poison to it, and he had no intention of using his magic to try and save it anyway.
It’s not that I really think I can’t handle it.
Think about the faceless ghost back then. If you kill him accidentally, there will be no second chance.
It’s different now with the magic crystal. Qin Xiaoxia has been so tired of hearing about this kind of treasure that his ears are almost callused. It is just right for him to deal with the tree shepherd who is almost exhausted now.
So the Son of Thorns was dug out again by the two men.
Qin Xiaoxia used brute force to pry apart the tightly bound thorns, revealing the dim "emerald" inside.
The roots wrapped around it seemed to sense the danger and kept shaking.
Doudou was recording a video with his phone while making “tsk tsk tsk” sounds in his mouth.
I thought, 'For a tree shepherd, this is probably the most terrifying scene.'
The magic crystal was inserted directly next to the broken emerald, and the hairy roots almost entangled it in an instant, and the whole thorn tree began to shake.
"Back off, Doudou, get out of the way!"
Qin Xiaoxia pulled Doudou and they retreated together, and the latter asked while returning the money.
"Shouldn't we bury it back in the ground?"
"Bury your head!"
However, this time it felt a bit anticlimactic. Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou thought that the tree shepherd would have a more intense transformation or recovery process, but unexpectedly he just shook a few times and buried himself back in the soil without any response.
After waiting for a while and finishing all the video games on their phones, with no signs of any other changes, the two lost their patience.
Apart from letting the Red Banshee Shadow watch over them, Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou each went about their own business.
One edits information, the other learns to cook.
The rabbit eventually died and became Doudou's cooking ingredient.
Qin Xiaoxia didn't know how Doudou dealt with the rabbit's fur and internal organs by himself, but when he passed by the kitchen, he saw a little kid holding a big kitchen knife and chopping a rabbit corpse on the chopping board. It must be said that the scene was a bit scary.
Early the next morning, when Qin Xiaoxia woke up, he felt the message from the Red Banshee's shadow.
I've been feeling sleepy lately due to lack of magic power in my body, but isn't it a coincidence that the message came just when I woke up naturally?
Shaking off this thought, I went downstairs and saw the bright sunshine inside the secret realm.
Doudou had been wandering around a thorn tree for a long time with a curious look on his face, and the shadow of the red banshee was accompanying him like a silly follower.
"Fuck it's so big!"
Qin Xiaoxia couldn't help but swear.
Compared to the bundle of skinny thorns yesterday, today's thorn tree is at least three people tall and has thicker roots.
In my heart, I silently gave the magic crystal a new nickname - "Genuine Jin Ke La".
When Doudou heard his cousin's voice, he immediately waved at him excitedly.
"Cousin~~Come and see, this guy is alive~~!"
Qin Xiaoxia chuckled and slowly walked over.
"Not only do I know it's alive, I also know it's pretending to be unconscious."
He walked closer, picked up Doudou and carried him away from the thorn tree.
"Stop pretending, Son of Thorn. Your little tricks are useless in our territory."
Hearing Qin Xiaoxia's words, the thorn tree moved, and the branches spread out layer by layer, soon revealing a human face held together by the branches.
He looked like an old man with a vicissitudes of life.
This seems to be a human appearance deliberately simulated to cater to Qin Xiaoxia.
"Comando!"
Respectful magical words came out from the mouth of the human face it simulated.
Qin Xiaoxia grinned, and Doudou also laughed.
This magical word contains a complex series of meanings, but it can also be simply summarized as "the Supreme Lord" or "the Lord to whom I am loyal."
The tree shepherd's understanding of magic also contains an extended meaning, which is also conveyed through the language of magic to let Qin Xiaoxia understand. The human language translation is "noble existence, sage of nature."
Although the flattery is extremely obvious, unlike regular language, the magic language contains a lot of meanings, but it is more like a true oath.
In other words, the magic word does not lie.
Therefore, Qin Xiaoxia could intuitively feel the tree shepherd's heartfelt submission.
"Not bad, not bad. What's your name?"
In order to save magic power, and also out of habit, Qin Xiaoxia became more and more fond of this way of speaking with a human accent and magical vibrations.
After hearing the question, the tree shepherd opened his mouth and spoke a string of characters with countless syllables. More than ten seconds passed without any intention of stopping.
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop! What the hell is that name? How many minutes do you want to read it for?"
After thinking about it casually, he looked at Doudou again.
Qin Xiaoxia clapped his hands.
"Got it! You have a wooden body, a wooden head, and a wooden heart. From now on, you will be called 'Mumu'!"
"Mummu..."
Son of Thorn tried to follow along, reading it again in a less than standard Mandarin pronunciation.
"Yes, that's what I said. When Doudou can make a wish again, I'll give you some inspiration to communicate with. Then you won't have so much trouble talking."
Then I got a general understanding of Mumu's condition. Although he looked strong, he was actually just an empty shell. His quality of life had declined a lot, and his magic power was even more exhausted. They all needed to be recovered.
But it is much better than the half-dead state before.
…
More than a thousand kilometers away at Kyoto Airport, Huang Jiutian, together with Tao Xingzhi and colleagues in the group, accompanied some leaders to wait for pick-up at the airport.
A Russian Airlines special plane landed here ten minutes later.
The Russian expert delegation arrived in China.
A little while later, a Ukrainian special plane arrived.
This is a rare joint visit abroad for the two countries, which are constantly in conflict.
Of course, if we add another layer of relationship that outsiders don’t know about, it makes sense.
"Siberian Alliance".
The invitation to them to come to China this time is also the result of careful consideration by the Chinese upper echelons. The research on insect monsters has been going on for some time, and the "magic vine incident" that occurred during this period of time has reminded the upper echelons that it is time to intensify the ties between the allies.
Therefore, we plan to make public some of the research findings on insect monsters in order to strengthen the alliance.
Even when the real doomsday stage comes, it is unlikely that countries will give up the advantage of fighting together and choose to fight alone.
