Chapter 74 Isn’t it just cat grass?
Shuang Mi Beast was stunned. It had never expected that Nan Ran was entangled in this...
[Well, this is because, as a companion plant to the bamboo shoots, the fragrant bamboo rice relies on absorbing nutrients from the bamboo shoots as its own nourishment.]
[But the bamboo shoots...]
The Frost Beast looked up at the bamboo shoots that had long since disappeared, now standing straight and tall, piercing the sky: [Born in the morning, died in the evening, wait until the golden crow sets in the west——]
There was a hint of sadness in its expression.
[This cloud-piercing bamboo shoot will transform into spring breeze and gentle rain, carrying the essence of the earth accumulated over a lifetime, and blessing the vegetation within a ten-mile radius.]
[If the main epiphyte dies, the fragrant bamboo rice will naturally die quickly.]
[So during this short day, the fragrant bamboo rice will continuously produce seeds, fall to the ground, take root and sprout, grow, fully mature, produce seeds, and fall to the ground...]
hiss!
It sounds so miserable.
"Since this thing can produce seeds, can't we collect the seeds and take them back to plant?"
Nan Ran really didn’t want to continue cutting leeks...ah, no, cutting dogtail grass.
After being cut by the dogtail grass, she felt like a leek.
No, it’s cattle and horses.
Only cows and horses like to eat grass...
She glanced at the Frost Beast next to her. Well, a deer that looked like a rabbit, she also liked it.
Only the seeds of the ninth-level fragrant bamboo rice can successfully germinate without the earth essence provided by the cloud-piercing shoots.
The Frost Beast poured a basin of cold water on Nan Ran without mercy.
Nan Ran: ...
"Okay then..." She gave up the idea of collecting seeds and going back to plant a yard of foxtail grass for the Frost Beast to roll around on the ground and play with.
She sighed deeply and said, "Keep cutting."
While Meng Duanyue and the others are still studying the cloud-piercing bamboo shoot.
Nan Ran was just about to bow her head for food for her pet beast when she saw the Frost Beast coming towards her shyly, and rubbed its little deer head against her hip and elbow.
Her eyes widened in disbelief and she almost stumbled and rolled down the short slope next to her.
No? Mimi, what happened to those sika deer in the Romantic City?
Oh, her old waist, hiss.
Frostmon didn't expect...it seemed to be in trouble.
[S-Sorry.]
[I, I just, just...] I wanted to act coquettishly.
But it seemed to have the opposite effect, and Nan Ran was almost knocked away.
Shuangmi Beast lowered its deer head in autism and guilt, looking at Nan Ran with its watery blue eyes.
"It's okay, I don't blame you. You probably didn't do it on purpose."
Nan Ran couldn't stand it the most, but he also liked Shuangmi Beast's water blue eyes the most.
How could I bear such beautiful eyes looking at me with tears in my eyes?
I soon managed to calm myself down.
He also touched the deer's head.
Hiss~ It’s so soft.
[That…]
When Frostmon was touched on the head, and seemed to like the feeling, it became even more embarrassed.
[Can I switch places with you? I want to...] Eat the fragrant bamboo rice here! !
The third-grade fragrant bamboo rice is definitely more tender and delicious! !
[May I?]
"ah?"
Nan Ran blinked, then noticed the Frost Beast's desire for the pile of fragrant bamboo rice she had, and remembered that it seemed to have just said that the fragrant bamboo rice here was of better quality.
I immediately understood what Shuangmi Beast meant by guessing.
"Do you want to change places with me so you can eat the fragrant bamboo rice here?" Nan Ran couldn't help but reached out and touched the Frost Beast's head again.
The Frost Beast's head moved slightly, rubbing against Nan Ran's palm, its aqua-blue deer eyes sparkling: [Hmm!]
[Mi Mi thinks!]
Awesome!!
Nan Ran was amused by the deer's "Mi Mi" sound. He chuckled twice and patted the deer's head lovingly: "Okay, then you stay here and I'll go to the other side."
Frostmon's furry little rabbit tail immediately began to shake.
Happy～～～
Nan Ran saw that it was happy, and he also felt inexplicably happy.
She couldn't help but think, maybe this is the meaning of having a pet?
Feeding others will also make you feel happy, and seeing them eat happily will make you feel satisfied.
-
Nan Ran switched to the other side and continued to cut the dogtail grass. With his previous experience, his technique was obviously much more skillful.
The speed is therefore much faster.
The most important thing is that the strange power she just felt not only made her feel refreshed and not hot, but also made her feel like she had endless energy!
Nanran cut the grass faster, and the speed at which the fragrant bamboo rice seeds fell to the ground, took root and sprouted, and grew into mature fragrant bamboo rice again also became faster.
Then, Nan Ran discovered...
What the hell?!!!
"What the hell is this?"
She couldn't believe her eyes, and she closed and opened them again, opened them again, and closed them again, over and over again, many times, before she finally had to accept what she saw!!!
Dogtail grass has mutated!!!
She was holding up the heavy ears of corn that appeared in front of her almost suddenly, and she still doubted her life.
Frostbeast heard the noise and ran over worriedly: "What's wrong? Did you run into a longworm?"
In the Water Monster Forest, there are indeed many snake-like monsters that are good at changing color and camouflage.
Nan Ran didn't know what to say, so he could only hold the ears of corn in his hand and show them to Shuangmi Beast.
[Holy crap!!!]
The usually gentle Frost Beast also subconsciously exclaimed "Wow, wow, wow" after seeing what was in Nan Ran's hand.
[This, you, this, this, you you you...]
It looked at Nan Ran in disbelief, then turned its head to look at the piece of fragrant bamboo rice that it had been responsible for cutting.
When the Frost Beast saw that the patches of ordinary and first-grade fragrant bamboo rice that were originally there were now full of a large area of ninth-grade fragrant bamboo rice like the one in Nan Ran's hand, and some of the quality was even better than the one in Nan Ran's hand, it was really shocked.
It was like a beast that had never seen the world before, with its mouth wide open, eyes wide open, and speechless in shock.
"What's going on?"
Nan Ran suddenly felt a little nervous. Could it be that she had cut this piece of fragrant bamboo rice so that it was inedible?
Thinking that Shuangmimon's food might have been taken away by her, she couldn't help but look at Shuangmimon with guilt: "Mimi~"
How did you do it?!
Frostbeast finally recovered from its shock: "No, no, no, now's not the time to dwell on this. Quick! Quick! Put these fragrant bamboo rice seeds away first."
This is a treasure that it could never even dream of!!
The reason why fragrant bamboo rice is rare and precious is not because it is difficult to cultivate artificially.
But it is simple, its growing environment is harsh and it is extremely difficult to preserve seeds.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Continent, except for those top powerhouses, there is only a slight possibility that the rest of the people have seen the ninth-level fragrant bamboo rice. Let alone seeing it... I am afraid they have never even heard of it.
Nan Ran still hasn't figured out how the good foxtail grass evolved into corn ears.
This is unreasonable!
This is unscientific!
Although foxtail grass and corn are both in the Poaceae family and the genus Foxtail...
Wait, Poaceae-Setaria genus!!!
The same evolution? !
Nan Ran felt that his brain seemed to be insufficient.
No, no, something must be wrong.
Poaceae...eh? Poaceae?!
She looked down at the ears of corn in her hand, then looked at the Frost Beast, which was already having fun in the pile of mutant foxtail grass, completely losing its usual reserved look.
Poaceae - cat grass.
Cat grass - Poaceae.
Oh my goodness...isn't this just cat grass?!
Nan Ran felt that she seemed to understand something! !
When I checked the encyclopedia and found out that millet is not only from the Poaceae family, but also from the genus Dogtail...
