Chapter 95
With such thoughtful service, more mutant animals are willing to travel far and wide to eat insects there.
Even though the mutant animals are illiterate and cannot use the Internet, they still have their own intelligence network. Once one animal gets the news, it can pass it on to all the animals in the tribe that it can contact. After passing it on to many parties, those who know and can go will go.
Not to mention, they used to be lucky if they could catch a few insects in their mouths when they went out hunting, not as well as they are now. As long as they can afford it, they can pack up as much as they want and take it away.
The mutant crows that had made the trip were also very satisfied, especially the mutant crow that had communicated with Ying Huai.
Although I guessed from the beginning that there was enough food there, it was good for their growth and they could eat their fill.
But I still didn't expect it to be so good for so long. The crow elders it fed back to didn't eat well because they were saving food. This was the first time it ate so much after the mutation.
Not only was I full, but I ate very well.
Those insects are all of very high quality. The spiritual energy content of some of them is not as good as that of the fruit tree at the end of Daxi Village, but it is not much different from the fruits produced by the mutant plants.
The mutant animals can actually use tap water. They can eat insects without hurting anyone even if they don't know them. After eating, they won't stop the officials from putting bags on them if they want to pack up.
Once this information was posted online, it immediately went viral.
It was understandable that the mutant animals at the border went up to eat the insects at the beginning, because they were close, knew the situation, and knew that there was food over there, so it was normal for them to get through.
But later, some people on the Internet said that they saw a mutant animal with a packing bag hanging on its body flying over the house.
This was a huge event. As soon as one person posted a photo, countless people followed suit.
In the Internet age, the first reaction of ordinary people is to not panic when encountering something and post to their Moments first?
This one was quite a big deal. Many people posted photos of animals around the border, but among those mutant animals, a group of mutant animals stood out.
That is the mutant duck that moves with a group of crows. No one knows how these two groups got together, and no one knows when they went there, but they always come back together.
Looking at the photos taken by netizens and the IP addresses of the netizens who took the photos, they seem to live quite far away?
[Wow, the ducks and crows ran thousands of miles just for a bite of food.
Commuting so far just to make ends meet really makes us working cattle and horses look like slaves.
[They can eat the cake directly after running a long way, but we run a long way to work, so the boss’s cake may not fall into our mouths...]
[Stop talking about it. I want to fly too with this description. I’m a little upset...]
Looking at the comments online, the aunts who were sitting under the locust tree and chatting burst into laughter.
They didn't notice the news online at first. It was only after the children in the village told them and shared it with them that they saw it.
The comment sections on the Internet have been very interesting in recent years, because most of the interesting comments that can be seen by others are basically contributed by young people. They have active thinking and can think of all kinds of jokes. The opinions they output are quite interesting to read.
It just so happened that these aunts staying under the tree all had children at home. It was normal for them to communicate with their children on a daily basis. However, due to the limitations between parents and children, communication between the two sides was not so smooth when it came to their inner nature.
In order to better understand their children, the aunts would think of going online to see what other young people think and how to communicate with their parents. This has become something they do frequently.
Especially after the sudden changes in the world, the aunts returned to the village and no longer had to rush to work every day to earn money. They just took time to clean up the house every day and went to the fields when there was work to do.
Without having to go to work, they have more free time, and watching videos online and reading other people's comments are what aunts often do.
"Nonsense! The wild ducks in the mountain den behind our village work one day and rest the next."
An aunt laughed and added this sentence.
"Indeed, at first we thought they came here every day, worried they'd die from exhaustion from eating. It wasn't until Captain Qing of the Rufeng family went to take a look that we realized these mutant wild ducks are quite clever. Not only do they pack up the food to eat at home, but they also work in shifts..."
Listening to the aunts' words, Ying Huai thought about the current living conditions of the mutated crows and wild ducks.
At first, they only left a few capable ones at home to look after the tribe, and the others who could go out went to the border to find food.
But after running for two days, they keenly realized that even though they ate well, such high-intensity flying every day was not feasible and was very tiring.
In the end, I don’t know what they discussed. On the first day, more crows went out, so half of the mutant wild ducks came out. They were rotated on the second day. This way, the combat effectiveness of the outing was not reduced, and some mutant animals could relax and have a good rest.
People are having a great time chatting online. Recently, most people's attention is focused on the border. As long as it is related to that place, the discussion will be very intense.
As long as no one ambushes the mutant wild ducks and crows on their route, Ying Huai won't bother and will just watch and let it go.
Of course, even if those who are interested now covet these mutant animals and want to touch them, it depends on whether they have enough strength.
Now is not the time to rely solely on the weapons they can get to fight against wild animals and complete the hunt.
It is normal that he is not strong enough, his weapons are not good enough, and his IQ is not calculated well enough, so he is finally buried in the ditch by these hordes of mutant animals.
Just as Ying Huai was thinking about the situation of the mutant animals over there, from afar, Ying Huai felt Ali's breath slowly coming back towards Daxi Village.
The breath of the two big cats was mixed with the breath of other mutant animals, but it felt weaker.
Ying Huai relaxed a little after feeling Ali and the others coming back.
During this period, not only Ying Huai was worried about Ali who had been out for a long time, but even people in the village who had not seen them for a long time would ask Ying Huai about it.
Now, after waiting for so long, it’s finally back.
Ying Huai was not surprised at all that Ali brought back another strange mutant animal.
There are mutated animals coming down from the mountains in Daxi Village. They are never seen before, so after seeing them so many times, they are no longer surprised.
Of course, there is also a prerequisite, that is, the mutant animals brought back cannot actively attack the villagers in the village unless they are actively harmed.
This was a simple constraint given by Ying Huai. Ying Huai had no idea what the people or animals who heard this thought at first. Anyway, the final result was pretty good. Both sides got along well. Even the mutant plants that could communicate briefly with the family through gestures got along well with the villagers.
Just like these aunts who are sitting under the locust tree now.
The reason why they are not so busy now is because Ying Huai had asked them to wait in the fields before, and the mutant plants that appeared in the fields after a long time helped to watch over the fields, so they don't have to worry so much.
The fox followed Ali and Hu Hu and walked slowly up the mountain. Although they did not walk fast along the way, they rarely stopped to rest. So although Ali returned to the village relatively late, it was not very late.
"Hey, it seems that Ali and the others are back."
Because they were close to the village, Ali didn't think about hiding. He didn't cover up the sound of his pacing, and he didn't try to avoid seeing his huge body. The two big cats came towards the village.
When such a big cat approached the village, the aunties under the tree had eyesight that was not so blurry that they couldn't see such a big cat clearly, and they recognized Ali and Hu Hu at a glance.
The mutant fox following behind Alihuhu was relatively inconspicuous because of its body shape, and its fur was dirty, making it look even more inconspicuous. As a result, not many people noticed it at first glance.
Looking at the human appearing in front of it, the mutant fox paused slightly while following Ahri's steps.
I felt a little uneasy.
"Let's go. I live in the village ahead."
Ali ran a few steps forward and noticed that the mutant fox behind him didn't seem to keep up. He turned around and said something to the mutant fox.
"My king, your nest is in the settlement where these humans live?"
When the fox asked, his voice was full of disbelief.
His eyes were filled with astonishment. It was following two tigers, right? How could they be living with humans?
Is there something special about these humans?
Thinking of this, the mutant fox continued to walk and caught up with Ali. When they reached the village entrance and saw the two-legged animals sitting under the tree, it looked at all the humans without showing any emotion, but still found nothing.
Most of those humans are ordinary people. Even if the rest have abilities, their combat effectiveness is low compared to it. There's nothing special about them, right?
Could it be that the weak still have a sense of existence?
Don't understand, but respect.
Thinking of this, the mutant fox relaxed a little. Apart from anything else, with the combat effectiveness of these humans, even if it could not face the attacks of groups of humans, it could still escape, which gave it a great sense of security.
With Ali and Hu Hu walking in front of it and leading it to the village, I felt even more at ease.
The aunts under the tree had just finished talking about Ali returning to the village when they saw two big cats getting closer and closer. When they got really close, they could see clearly that the one following Ali and the others was a dirty, injured white-haired fox.
"Hey, is this a Samoyed or a fox? It looks like it's injured."
The old lady exclaimed in surprise at the fox that followed her into the village and the blood on its fur.
This white-haired fox looks good, even though it is a little dirty and its fur is matted due to the blood. However, it can be seen that this fox took good care of itself and was plump before following Ali and the others back.
Life is so good, probably because I am still injured, so I thought of following Ali and the others to Daxi Village.
Thinking of this, the aunts looked at the fox with a softer look.
Anyway, there are quite a lot of mutant animals coming down from the mountains in the village. One more won’t make much difference, and the villagers don’t need to help raise them. They can find food by themselves, so there’s no need to worry about them. The villagers are still very welcome to the arrival of these mutant animals.
"He's injured. Come on, Ali, go to Doctor Fu's house and ask him to take a look."
An auntie said this and quickly stood up to lead the way for Ali and the others.
Doctor Fu was the doctor whose family the village chief had invited to the mountain because he was on good terms with their family.
At first, Dr. Fu and his family did not want to go up the mountain. After all, they were well off in the town at the foot of the mountain, and the health center was very busy. Because of the busy schedule, the health center received a lot of subsidies, so they had enough food. They also did not want to go up the mountain at the risk of danger and cause trouble to others.
But this was just Dr. Fu's family's initial idea.
After seeing the mayor and some people with special abilities in the town being led towards the mountain, and after vaguely hearing some information from the medical team that went up the mountain to deliver a baby last time, he made connections with the hospital leaders and was eventually sent up the mountain to serve as a rural doctor.
With the village chief's promise to accept the people, and the town chief having wanted to release the people to Daxi Village a long time ago, this move was in line with the wishes of both parties.
There was a doctor with good medical skills on the mountain, and the mayor sent a person from the town to the village as he wished. Both sides were very satisfied. Dr. Fu had a good relationship with the people both on the mountain and in the town at the foot of the mountain.
Right now, some of the Western medicines and Chinese patent medicines in the medical station he runs are brought up by people from the town who have gone up the mountain to open up wasteland these days.
Everyone knew that these medicines were very precious now, and were often out of stock in the town due to transportation problems, so what he used most often was the prepared herbs from Grandma Shitou.
A cat that can catch mice is a good cat, whether it is black or white. It can also cure diseases with medicine. The villagers of Daxi Village don’t think too much about what medicine to use and are very obedient.
Just like now, Ali and Hu Hu, who were led to Doctor Fu's house by their aunts, looked at the doctor who was tampering with herbs, tilted their heads to look at the mutant fox that was following behind them and shrank a little. Ali raised his claws and pushed it to the front.
"This injury is relatively good. Last time, when Huzi Chang'an and his friends went outside the village to clear out the mutant thorn vines, there was very little healthy flesh on their body. The surface layer of skin was almost torn off. Fortunately, the medicinal herbs nowadays are more effective and worked. They saved the wound. Otherwise, Chang'an would have been disfigured."
Doctor Fu spoke as he fiddled with the herbs and took a moment to glance at the wounds on the mutant fox's body.
Because it is a mutant animal, its recovery ability is very good. Some of the wounds are very deep, and it can be clearly seen that it was in a state of great blood loss.
Although it is not clear how long it took, just looking at it now, there are already scabs in many places. Although the deep wounds have no scabs, they have stopped bleeding.
So Doctor Fu was taking his time in handling the medicinal materials, and he even had the time to talk to the aunts who brought Ali and the others here.
Although Dr. Fu had never had contact with the villagers in the mountains before, under the premise that the villagers were very welcoming, Dr. Fu and his family got along well with the surrounding villagers after they moved to the village.
If Dr. Fu's family were not busy on weekdays, the aunts would want to pull Dr. Fu's family over to chat when they chat under the godmother tree during the day.
"That's right, I know. I don't know what happened to them. I told that little girl Tangtang to use a turtle shell to block the blow on her head when she came back, but she didn't listen and went up on her own. In the end, this is what happened. Now the scabs on her body haven't fallen off yet, and she's still staying at home in isolation."
Talking about the group of children in the village who were covered in wounds after being swept by mutant plants last time, the aunts had something to talk about again.
Although they were still very worried at the time, after all, their own children were inside, and their children were injured, so they were definitely worried.
However, after knowing that there was no problem, the worry faded away, and all that remained was complaints about my stupid and impulsive child.
"Hahahaha... when you were rushing to the front like a hero, didn't you think about protecting yourself? Now you're ashamed of your injuries and ugly body and dare not go out? Hahahaha..."
Upon hearing what the aunt said, Dr. Fu's wife, who had been sorting medicinal herbs with her husband without saying much, laughed out loud.
She was originally an obstetrician in the town. After going up the mountain, although she would interact with the boys and girls in the village on weekdays and help treat wounds, the girls she took care of the most were the pregnant girls in the village.
Therefore, he had a good relationship with these aunts and laughed at other people's children without any scruples.
But even though she laughed, she knew that in such an emergency situation, it was not easy to ensure that she was safe and sound, so getting some injuries was nothing.
"That's right. When my kid came home, his face was covered in blood. I almost thought he had lost his face. At that time, I was thinking, how will this kid find a wife when he is so ugly?"
Hearing the laughter of Dr. Fu's wife, the aunts did not hesitate to stand beside her and chat and laugh.
Seeing this, Dr. Fu did not interrupt, but just pricked up his ears to listen, with the corners of his lips curled up, obviously in a good mood.
The doctor was in a good mood, but the mutant fox was not in such a good mood.
When the mutant fox first heard these humans say that the doctor's medicine was very good, it was still very excited. Although it was a furry fox, it did not like to have scars on its body, for fear that the scars would stop growing hair.
But who could have told it that the doctor's medicine would hurt so much when applied to the wound?
"Oooh...Woo...Woof!"
Hearing the mutant fox's cry, which had become noticeably more shrill, Ahri turned around, buried her head in Hu Hu's furry belly, and turned and ran away.
Fortunately, it was very careful when going out. Even when fighting with those mutated animals and plants, it always dominated them and had no injuries on its body. Otherwise, it would be the one crying in pain now.
Thinking of this, Ali took bigger steps and ran faster towards the village entrance.
It still has a lot of spirit stones on its back. It had taken the fox to see a doctor before, and was afraid that the fox would leave without taking the spirit stones. The mutant fox didn't listen to the two-legged animals in the village, so it followed it along.
Now that he was recovering from his injuries, Ahri felt that it was none of his business, so he didn't wait around any longer.
Seeing Ali leave, Hu Hu also turned and ran.
"What are Ali and Tigress busy with now?"
A mother-in-law looked at the two big cats running so fast and felt a little confused.
"Heading towards the village entrance, he might have brought back some goodies. Now that he has some free time, should he send them to his godmother?"
An old lady who was chatting turned around and looked at Ali and Hu Hu who were running towards the village entrance. She thought for a while and came up with the answer.
The two big cats, Ali and Hu Hu, always have something to do when they go out. They are either looking for food or running far away to get something good.
The stone that Ali and the others brought back last time was used by my kid for quite a long time.
I heard that after using it, even the ability is greatly enhanced, all thanks to Ahri and his godmother.
Ying Huai already knew when Ali and Hu Hu just came back. Before that, they were busy looking for a doctor, so Ying Huai didn't say hello to Ali. Now seeing Ali and Hu Hu coming, Ying Huai was also happy.
"Ali and Huhu, thank you for your hard work. Did the journey go smoothly?"
Ying Huai said this, but because of the locust leaves he had given to Ali and Hu Hu before, he knew very well that Ali did not encounter any danger during his trip out.
"There's no danger on the road. I'm the danger to those mutant plants and animals!"
Ali said this with great confidence.
After saying this, without waiting for Hu Hu to come forward and take the bag off its back, it lay down and turned over, put down the bag on its body, and began to stretch out its chubby big claws to dig out the spirit stones it brought back.
"There are more humans in the mine over there, and many mutant animals on the mountain have moved down the mountain. The spirit stones that are easy to find in the mine have all been taken away by those humans."
As Ali spoke, she had already pulled out the spirit stone with her claws and showed it to Ying Huai.
"But Ahri is the most powerful. The easy ones have been taken, so I'll look for the hard ones. Look, these spirit stones are the best in that vein."
As he spoke, Ahri squatted on the ground with the intermediate spirit stone he had dug out in front of him. He looked like he was showing off his trophy, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking particularly proud and adorable.
Next to Ali, Hu Hu turned to look at Ali, and finally imitated Ali and repeated the actions that Ali had just performed. In the end, the two huge cats sat side by side, with the hair on their chests standing up, looking very impressive.
"Ahri and Tigress are amazing! They are the most amazing big cats I've ever seen!"
Ying Huai looked down at the two of them and couldn't help laughing, but he still praised them.
The formation that Ying Huai set up in Daxi Village last time is still useful. As long as it is not attacked by strong forces in the short term, there will be no problems and there is no need to exchange spirit stones.
But last time I placed the formation, I was thinking about protecting Daxi Village, but I didn’t think about the upstream villages outside, as well as the villages outside the village that later moved up the mountain.
With extra spirit stones this time, Ying Huai thought of using the formation of Daxi Village to cover both the upstream village and the outer village with formations.
After thinking it through, Ying Huai collected all the spirit stones that Ahri gave him, and gathered the spiritual energy in his body into two leaves, giving them to Ahri and Hu Hu.
Last time, Ying Huai discovered that compared to letting Ahri and Hu Hu absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone by themselves, it was better for Ahri to accept and absorb it faster if Ying Huai absorbed the spiritual energy in the spirit stone and transformed it for her.
If you compare it, it is like wild spiritual energy encountering domesticated spiritual energy.
The domesticated ones are obviously gentler, and Ahri absorbs them faster, making it easier to use their enhanced abilities.
After receiving the spiritual locust leaves from Ying Huai, Ali was obviously happier.
Since childhood, it has been receiving the spiritual energy that Ying Huai separated from his body to comb its body. Ali is very familiar with the spiritual energy in Ying Huai. Now that it has received the spiritual energy that Ying Huai separated specifically for it, shouldn't it be happy?
"Huaihuai, please collect all these spirit stones. We are going back."
After putting away the spiritual leaves given by Ying Huai, Ali turned around and prepared to go home with Hu Hu.
It walked very slowly on the way back this time because it was a mutant fox. Because it walked so slowly, it caught a lot of prey to eat. On the way back to Daxi Village, it ate Ali and Hu Hu so much that it was full. Now it has to go back and take a nap to digest the food.
Seeing Ali turning around to go home, Hu Hu said goodbye to Ying Huai, put away the spiritual leaves given by Ying Huai, and turned around to follow Ali.
The two big cats returned home, and Ying Huai had to start getting busy.
But he has helpers, so being busy is just a matter of talking.
Looking at Captain Qingzhi who was floating in the sky with Brother Fan, searching for directions, Tang Rufeng sat under a locust tree, touching the dog's head and watching carefully.
Because this formation was based on the original Daxi Village formation and included the two surrounding villages, there were still many directions that needed to be found. In addition, Captain Qingzhi himself was not very familiar with these, so he was a little slow in finding them.
Fortunately, although they were not familiar with the place and were slow in finding directions, they were very serious. Every time they found a direction, they would confirm with Ying Huai. Only after Ying Huai replied that it was okay would they put down the spirit stone and look for the next one.
The area protected by the formation was expanded, and there were more points. After a few days, Captain Qingzhi, who was not very clear about these things, was able to figure out those locations.
Although it is impossible for him to arrange it by himself now, as long as the location is reported, he can find that point as quickly as possible, and finally use ghost power to control it and knock the spirit stone down.
The same goes for Brother Fan.
Knowing that this formation would eventually benefit his wife and children who were living in a village outside the village, he was extremely careful and cautious every time he followed Ying Huai to find the direction to get the spirit stones, for fear that he would do something wrong and cause a loophole in the formation, which would eventually cause an accident that the formation would not be able to take care of.
Mrs. Fan and her son were brought here by Mayor Xiao at Tang Rufeng's request, and they didn't stay in the town for long. After learning that there were houses available for living in the village outside the mountain village, she brought her children here.
Without waiting for Tang Rufeng to say anything, Daxi Village built houses for them before going up the mountain.
Building houses on the mountain used to be very difficult, after all, the road up the mountain was difficult to walk on and the building materials were difficult to transport. But now, it is much simpler.
Among the three villages surrounding Daxi Village, Daxi Village has the most capable people. Apart from other things, because they have to work in the fields for a long time, the villagers of Daxi Village have no shortage of physical fitness and strength. It is not easy for them to move building materials from the foot of the mountain.
It wouldn't take much effort to go up the mountain now and use local materials and move stones.
It was precisely because he knew that the house would be built quickly that Tang Rufeng agreed so easily when he heard that Mrs. Fan was anxious to go up the mountain and find a place to live.
Only he knew that letting Sister Fan live in a village outside the village was only temporary. After the house was built, Sister Fan would definitely be moved to Daxi Village.
After all, people have come here from thousands of miles away, so we have to keep them under our watchful eyes and protect them to feel at ease.
While Brother Fan was floating in the sky looking for his direction, Mrs. Fan, who had just brought her child to the mountain not long ago, had nothing to do, so she brought her child to watch Brother Fan work for a few days on the ground.
This was a relaxing time that he had never had before. Brother Fan was happy at work, and Sister Fan and the rice cooker watching on the ground were also happy.
The little rice cooker is not big, and is not yet old enough for Saiwu Laosan and his wife to study in the classroom. He doesn't need to learn, and he is not naughty.
He had never seen his father before, but now he can see him every day. Although his father looks a little strange, he doesn't mind at all. He is happy to see his father flying in the sky every day.
His father was flying in the sky, and he pulled Mrs. Fan to chase him on the ground.
In Mrs. Fan’s words, with just a string, Brother Fan could be her son’s kite and fly it for fun.
After a few days of hard work, the formations for the upstream village and the village outside the village were finally set up.
A few days ago, two figures were seen flying in the sky, and people from both villages were wondering what they were doing. When the formation was completed and the formations of the two villages were pulled by the formation of Daxi Village and started to operate, they realized what Qingzhi and Brother Fan meant by flying everywhere and throwing stones into the ground these days.
"The spiritual energy on this mountain is higher than outside. Is it because of what those two figures did a few days ago?"
In the village outside the village, as soon as the members of the town defense team who came up from the mountain stepped into the village outside the village, they felt a spiritual energy that was clearly different from that outside the village.
It was like suddenly walking from the cold snow into a heated room in winter. I was caught off guard by the rich spiritual energy that I had never experienced before.
"Well, I heard they were setting up some kind of formation. Previously, that formation was only in Daxi Village. The people in Daxi Village have been busy these past two days, setting it up in the villages outside the village and the upstream village above. Now both our village and the upstream village have it."
The person in charge of the village outside the village had been notified by Tang Rufeng when Ying Huai had just asked Captain Qingzhi and Brother Fan to take action. However, because he was still making arrangements at that time and didn't know what the final situation would be, he didn't say anything until now when the result was out.
"Really? We really hit the right time!"
Hearing the words of the village leader outside the village, the defense team members' faces were full of smiles.
The job of their defense team now is not just to defend the town at the foot of the mountain, but also the roads up the mountain and the villages outside the mountains are all within their scope of work.
The only difference is the scheduling issue. Some people go up the mountain to defend and the rest stay in the town. Anyway, a group of people are divided into two halves, so everyone in the defense team can stay on the mountain.
In just this short period of time, they could all feel that staying in this village outside the village had obvious benefits for improving their abilities.
How could they not be happy with the improvement in strength!
"Indeed, you guys should start working first, and then rest after you have inspected the surrounding area."
The head of the village outside the village saw that the defense team members were so happy, so he didn't stop them, but just gave them a reminder.
When encountering such a good time, he will not be stingy with the help and convenience.
Allowing defense team members to spend more time improving their abilities will also benefit the residents living at the foot of the mountain.
At least once the capabilities of the people protecting them are improved, the safety index of the town at the foot of the mountain will definitely increase.
Most people in the town didn't know about what happened on the mountain, but the mayor knew about it first.
He did not object to the decision of the village leader outside the village. If he had not considered that if more people from the defense team went up the mountain, the defense force of the town would be reduced accordingly, he would really like to send more people from the defense team up to improve their capabilities even more.
As mentioned before, most people in the town don’t know what’s happening on the mountain. Only a small number of people are well-informed and know something, but because they have no reasonable reason to go up the mountain, there’s nothing they can do even if they’re anxious.
The senior was also one of the anxious ones, but she was still a little lucky.
Because of the special nature of her abilities, she had already reported it to the town leaders. Although she had not joined the defense team, her information was clear on the record.
Knowing her abilities, the leaders did not object to her acquisition of the town's mushroom base and allowed her to take it over.
She just made three rules with the town leaders: poisonous mushrooms cannot be sold to the public, and the mushrooms that can be sold must be carefully selected and have no problems. If any problems arise in the process, she will be held accountable.
Simply put, the town leaders did not object to her improving her abilities, and even supported her in doing so. However, they were also afraid that she would not pay attention and cause trouble, so they set restrictions for her.
It is precisely because we know the output of those mushroom bases, and because there are plant mutations in various places at this stage, and the taste of various vegetables has changed, only mushrooms, apart from producing toxins, have not become unpalatable, and some even taste good. It would be a pity to give up this food, so we decided to let the senior sister buy it.
Since ordinary people cannot control those mutated mushrooms, let's replace them with people who can control them.
The fact turned out to be just as the town leaders had expected. After the town's mushroom bases were transferred to the senior sister, the mushrooms eaten by the town residents no longer contained poisonous substances.
Even when some mushrooms are eaten by people with special abilities, they can clearly feel that some of these mutated mushrooms are positive feedback, and the spiritual energy content of the food is increased.
With the last bit of discovery, the senior sister who had originally taken over the town's mushroom base just for her own ability made a fortune.
It also helped the town's economy, which had been in a slump and could only rely on external resources for support, to begin to improve.
The mutant mushrooms with high spiritual energy content sold very well outside. The senior student was very far-sighted and distributed a portion of the income from the mushroom base to the town government in exchange for the opportunity to go up the mountain to the village outside the village to grow mushrooms.
This coincidence made it possible for the senior sister who was still trying to figure out how to bring her family up the mountain to fulfill her wish.
She doesn't need to ask Tang Tang for help. She can go up the mountain by herself. After going up the mountain, Tang Tang's family in Daxi Village can take care of her. This is the best result she can plan for her family.
When the senior sister was moving the mushroom bags from the mushroom base up the mountain, Tang Tang knew the news in advance and brought the brothers from the village down the mountain to help move them several times, which made the senior sister's life a lot easier.
The younger generation in Daxi Village basically knew that the senior sister's fate was somewhat similar to Tang Tang's, and that this could alleviate Tang Tang's bad luck, so they had no objection to being taken up and down the mountain by Tang Tang to carry things back and forth.
Moreover, the senior sister can go up the mountain and get closer to Tangtang, which can alleviate her bad luck. In the end, she won't have to rely on connections from Tangtang's family to help her settle down in Daxi Village. The brothers in the village are all happy to see her success. They can help with these external things.
Tang Tang is capable, but his luck is a little bad. With the senior sister staying by his side to stabilize Tang Tang's luck, they don't have to worry about Tang Tang getting unlucky and being thrown several miles away when he follows them out of the village to clean up mutated animals and plants.
When the senior sister only had the last part of the mushroom bag to carry up the mountain, a team of people who were led by the Taoist to the surrounding area for practical training were also preparing to head up the mountain.
They didn't directly set the target location on the mountain in the previous actual combat because the Taoist wanted to go up the mountain to take a look, so he deliberately put the actual combat here at the end.
Now that he saw that the members he led were basically able to confidently handle some emergencies regarding mutated animals and plants, the Taoist turned around and began to walk up the mountain towards Daxi Village.
The Taoist wanted to go to the mountain to see Village Chief Dai, with whom he had been in contact for a long time, and the rather magical godmother of Daxi Village that Village Chief Dai mentioned.
He had long wanted to see the magical being in Daxi Village, and the only reason he hadn't been there before was because he was too busy and had no time.
Now, the front-line team has been brought out, and there are many second-line teams that can cooperate with the front-line team. Simply put, some domestic emergencies are enough to be handled by those teams.
With the addition of new weapons developed by the research institute, he was more adept at dealing with sudden crises, and he was able to come out and take a look.
Meeting this large group of people on the way up the mountain made Tangtang and the brothers from Daxi Village who came down the mountain to help move the mushroom bags because of Tangtang a little confused.
He frowned and looked at those people for a while, then he saw some marks in some hidden places.
"It seems to be someone from up there, but the markings aren't clear, so we can't be sure. Tangtang, why don't you run up the mountain and talk to Brother Rufeng, and ask him to ask Mayor Xiao if there are any official people coming to our mountain."
After frowning for a long time, one of the brothers spoke to Tang Tang hesitantly.
"Okay, I'll go up the mountain to talk to Brother Rufeng. Brother Huzi, you stay here and watch over them. There are a lot of them, so don't mess with them."
After hearing what his brother said, Tang Tang nodded, gave him a few words of advice, and then hurried up the mountain.
At this time, no one on the mountain would go down the mountain unless there was something important to do. As for her, if she didn't want to help her senior sister move things, she wouldn't want to go down the mountain either.
With something on his mind, Tangtang drove up the mountain with the protective shield on.
She encountered mutant animals and plants blocking her way several times, but she ran up the mountain too fast and was knocked away. By the time the mutant animals and plants came to their senses, she had no idea how far away they had run.
Tang Tang's action of going up the mountain did not escape the Taoist's eyes. He turned his head to look at the girl with the protective shield on. The Taoist smiled lightly and ignored her.
They did not inform the town leaders of anything when they arrived in the town this time, and they did not inform Mayor Xiao and others when they went up the mountain. He was planning to go up the mountain directly.
He wanted to see how the people on the mountain would react if he suddenly brought people up the mountain.
The Taoist was initially satisfied with Tang Tang's reaction.
Such a reaction means that there is something on the mountain that others are afraid of, or in other words, something that others covet.
Only in this way can the villagers in the mountains develop a long-term xenophobic reaction of becoming alert when they see outsiders suddenly appearing in their private areas.
Before Tang Tang reached the halfway point, the Taoist priest at the foot of the mountain began to wave to the students he was leading to prepare to go up the mountain.
Seeing this scene, the brothers from Daxi Village who were carrying things up the mountain frowned, and finally decided to go up the mountain early and walk in front of the Taoist and his students. Blocking the road would slow down their climbing speed.
The senior student was just beside them, packing her things. She was slightly stunned when she saw Tang Tang going up the mountain. But when she set her eyes on the group of people, she understood.
Later, when they went up the mountain early, she would take the initiative to do so without the brothers from Daxi Village having to do anything on their own.
After staying here for a long time, I know more or less the rumors about Daxi Village. Most of the rumors are not credible, but it is a recognized fact that Daxi Village is xenophobic, even they themselves admit it. The senior sister knows this, so she will not offend them.
The person in front tried to stop them, but the Taoist behind him didn't care, so this is the situation that finally occurred.
A few young men in front were carrying things on their hands and shoulders and walking slowly in front. Behind them was a group of people. Because the people in front were carrying too much things and took up too much road, they could not pass them. In addition, the other party was walking even slower, so they were forced to follow them and walk up the mountain slowly. The pace of their climbing up the mountain was as slow as that of ants moving house, which was really slow.
The Taoist saw through the tricks of the group in front from the very beginning, but he did not expose them. Instead, he followed behind them without any intention of speeding up.
In the middle, he also called on a few team leaders he liked to go up and help move some things, but the brothers from Daxi Village walking in front of him politely and distantly refused.
Seeing that the other party didn't want help, the Taoist didn't force them and just followed behind, ready to follow them up the mountain.
Tang Tang, who was running wildly on the mountain, gained some time thanks to his brothers' operations. He ran up the mountain into the village and finally found Tang Rufeng who was handling affairs in the village office.
"Brother Rufeng, a group of people have come down the mountain. They all seem to have powerful abilities, and they're quite powerful. They're heading towards our mountain. Go ask the mayor if he knows what's going on."
Tang Tang had just walked in and had already blurted out what he wanted to say before he could even catch his breath.
"Hmm? Let me ask."
Hearing this, Tang Rufeng picked up the phone without any hesitation and started calling Mayor Xiao at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Mayor Xiao received news from above, saying that a combat team of capable people from above was coming to his territory, and told him not to worry about anything and just follow their pace.
After hearing the news, Mayor Xiao just hung up the phone when he received a call from Tang Rufeng on the mountain asking about his whereabouts. He felt terrible.
Although he didn't think he could hide the secret from the people above him completely, some information would leak out eventually. But he didn't expect that he had only been hiding it for such a short time before someone from above came, and they came in such an unexpected way.
By the time he knew it, everyone had already headed towards the mountain.
The only thing he was thankful for was that he had already tidied up the village outside the mountain before sending people down the mountain. At this time, except for some houses that were not completed, the fields in the village outside the mountain had been collected.
With the support of his family elders, in the short term, the people above him will not focus on villages outside the village and compete with him for territory.
But after a long time, after seeing the output of villages outside the village, he could no longer guarantee it.
Thinking of this, Mayor Xiao rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
"I just got the news that the combat team from above has come to our town for combat. They didn't even notify me when they came to our town. The news from above only arrived after they had gone up the mountain."
People were already heading up the mountain. What else could he do? He could only explain the situation clearly, then put down what he was doing and go up the mountain to see if he could act as a palliative.
After thinking about it and comforting Tang Rufeng with a few words, he expressed his own opinions, then hung up the phone and immediately set off towards the mountain.
The brothers from Daxi Village who were slowly climbing the mountain were still wondering where Tang Tang was when they saw the senior sister receive a call, and it was Tang Tang's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Stupid..."
When the brothers heard the phone ringing, they all wanted to put their hands on their foreheads even though their hands were full of things. Their vigilance was heightened and their brains were distracted.
At that time, Guang thought that the two parties were not far apart, and that any phone calls would be heard by the ears of the ability user with enhanced five senses, so he did not think of asking Tang Tang to run far away before making the call, and instead let Tang Tang run all the way up the mountain.
"really."
Hearing the words of the young man in front, the Taoist priest walking behind him added with a smile.
Although the senior sister's phone call was not played out loud, since they were surrounded by people with fairly good abilities and enhanced five senses, they basically heard everything that was said on the other end of the phone clearly.
[Senior, Brother Rufeng said they're here for an official mission, and told us to ignore them for now. They're supposed to be clearing out the mutated plants and animals on the mountain...]
Tangtang's voice sounded a little weak, obviously he was tired from running up the mountain.
Hearing the Taoist's response, the brothers in front were speechless and turned to look at the group of people following behind them.
Finally, he had no choice but to look away. There were too many people behind him. Even if he knew they were official people, he would not rashly provoke them before they got home.
Let’s talk about it after we get up the mountain.
Fortunately, Tang Tang's call helped the senior sister and her group speed up their climb up the mountain, which was originally very slow. They carried their things up the mountain very quickly.
Comparing the front and back, there is no cover at all, as if it is afraid that people won't see it.
When the Taoist saw this scene, he shook his head with amusement and didn't take it to heart. However, the students following behind him had some complaints.
They really didn't understand. Although the road was only this wide, those people who were carrying things up the mountain walked in front, but they were always one step slower than others and had to lag behind. There was nothing they could do.
But he walked so slowly at first, and then walked so fast at the back because of a phone call. It was obvious that he was on guard against them. This kind of groundless disdain and speculation really made these young people who were just about to enter the society feel a little uncomfortable.
Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by some older teammates or the more stable team leader.
The teacher didn't say anything, and they didn't want to say more for fear of ruining the teacher's plans.
Helpless, I could only swallow back the words that were about to come out of my mouth.
The final scene was that the brothers from Daxi Village stopped the people who were walking slowly and wasted time, but they didn't say anything. However, the people walking in front felt embarrassed because they were being stared at.
However, no matter how embarrassed they are, if they had the chance to do it again, they would probably do the same thing.
If the information Tang Rufeng gave to Tang Tang was not clear, they would have to find a way to prevent these people from going up the mountain and lead them to the wrong section of the mountain route.
Those who live in the mountains are very familiar with the environment on the mountain. Although the environment on the mountain has changed a lot due to the mutation, the people with special abilities in Daxi Village often organize people to go out of the village to clean up mutated animals and plants, so they still know more about it than the people following them.
Fortunately, the final result was good. Although it was unclear what purpose these official people had in coming here, they were official people after all. No matter how bad the situation was, they would not harm the villagers in the mountains.
With the lives of their fellow villagers at stake, even if they focus their attention on their godmother, the officials will not ignore their opinions, so it's still good.
Thinking of this, the young people with special abilities from Daxi Village who were carrying things up the mountain felt a little relieved.
With the local people leading the way in front, the group of Taoists following behind walked very smoothly.
The people walking in front were very familiar with the animals and plants on the mountain. They even knew what kind of mutated plants would appear in which places. Following them and learning how they avoided the mutated plants, they walked very easily.
The brothers from Daxi Village turned around to look at the group of people following behind them, their faces wrinkled and their expressions were indescribable.
If they were the ones making things difficult for the group of people behind them at the beginning, now it is the group of people following behind them that are making things difficult for them.
How does it feel to be followed by a bunch of tails and can't shake them off? It's really uncomfortable!
If you walk faster, the ones following you will also walk faster. If you walk slower, the ones following you will just follow you loosely. I give in!
The person walking in front turned around from time to time to look at the group of people following behind, and then met the eyes of his fellow villagers. They looked at each other with despair.
How can they follow?!
I can’t get rid of it, I can’t get rid of it at all!
Even when they took a detour to the reed marsh in the mountain valley, they were unable to get rid of the person.
The people in front walked sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and occasionally dawdled in some irrelevant places, just to make way for the group of people behind to go first, but the Taoist refused to take his students with him, and followed the locals in front pretending to be stupid, without any awareness that he was being urged to go ahead.
The students who had previously complained about being deliberately slowed down now felt relieved, and their eyes became much gentler when they looked at the locals who were carrying things in front of them.
A few of the stronger ones even came forward and helped move things despite others' refusal.
The things in their hands were taken away by the people behind them without them noticing, and the young people in Daxi Village were speechless.
Hu Zi was forced to keep his hands free. He turned around speechlessly and looked at the person who was happily following him. He had no choice but to look down at his phone, who was actually texting with Tang Rufeng.
If they want to come up, let them. Godmother said it's okay.
Tang Rufeng looked at the message bar on the other side that kept showing that it was being input, as well as the complaints that kept appearing on the communication interface, and shook his head, feeling a little amused.
Fortunately, when he first heard Tangtang say that a group of people were going up the mountain, he went to ask his godmother, otherwise he didn't know how many tricks his fellow villagers would come up with.
After all, they are official people. Even if they don’t mind, we can’t let them keep doing this.
After hearing Tang Rufeng's words, the young people from Daxi Village who had started to walk slowly in front finally relaxed, stopped making trouble, and started walking normally.
The Taoist priest walking behind them noticed that their steps were relaxed, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled.
These young people are really fun. They procrastinate like children when they don't want to do something. It's quite cute.
Although he thought so, the Taoist would not say it out loud. He could see that these young people all had righteousness between their brows and had no bad intentions.
They didn't want them to follow them, so at most they just acted hesitantly and took a few detours in an attempt to shake them off, but they didn't intend to take them to any dangerous place, which shows that they had good intentions.
Walking on the normal road at a normal pace, they soon saw a village in the distance.
The Taoist's eyes froze the moment he saw the village in front of him.
Is this... a formation?
The Taoist's own way of cultivation is different from that of the young people who follow him. They cultivate the special abilities that appear after the changes in heaven and earth, while the Taoist cultivates Taoism.
His sensitivity to spiritual energy is extraordinary, not to mention that he has also dabbled in some Taoist magic and formations.
The moment he saw Daxi Village from afar, he realized that there was a very obvious formation placed in Daxi Village. The formation could continuously gather the scattered spiritual energy around to one place, making the spiritual energy in that place in a concentrated state.
The Taoist looked at it with some eagerness in his eyes. He himself was not proficient in formations. At most, he had just read the ancient books passed down in his family and was able to see through the formations. He had some knowledge about them, but nothing more.
Otherwise, if he knew how to arrange it himself, he would have used it long ago.
He was a little excited, but he didn't show it on his face. He let out a breath, relaxed, and followed the young men in front of him towards the village.
He kept walking, but he was thinking in his heart, could the formation that appeared in this village be related to that godmother?
The state of the young men who were leading the way before clearly showed that they did not want to take them away. If someone had not said something in the middle, these young men would probably still be leading them to linger on the road. It was more likely that they would take them further and further away, and even go down the mountain to another town.
Judging from the performance of those guys in front, it is not impossible for such a thing to happen.
Thoughts scattered throughout the Taoist's mind, he felt a little amused and was even more excited about going into the village to explore one of the curious points of his trip.
I could already see the village, but it took some time to get there.
Seeing that the young people in front had reached the village entrance and were not going to go any further, it was obvious that he did not want to take them into the village.
The Taoist also knew that this was the best level these young people could reach, so he didn't make things difficult for them.
"Young man, could you please help me contact the village chief? Is that okay?"
The Taoist stepped forward and spoke with a smile to a young man who had been leading the way.
"I've already spoken to the village manager. Please wait here for a moment. They will be out soon."
After hearing the Taoist's words, the brother who was being questioned frowned slightly and could only tell what he knew.
Although it is unclear why Brother Rufeng said that his godmother allowed them to bring these people up the mountain, the people have already been brought there. As for whether they can enter the village, it is not something they can decide.
Thinking of this, the young man closed his eyes and thought about the tall locust tree at the entrance of the village.
From this position, Godmother should be able to see these people clearly, right? With Godmother's ability, she should be able to see what their purpose is.
Thinking about it, he felt a little nervous. He was afraid that these people had bad intentions, but he was also hoping that these people were just going up the mountain for actual combat and were not curious about some of the secrets on the mountain.
Even though it seems impossible to think about it.
After waiting at the village entrance for a long time, Tang Rufeng slowly walked out with Luo Luo and Huidou lying on his shoulders.
There was no Brother Fan around, and even Captain Qingzhi was not seen.
Hu Zi frowned when he noticed this detail and turned to look at the person who was obviously the leader of the group.
Why? Qing Zhi, who had been inseparable from Tang Rufeng before, didn't show up.
Is it related to the people following behind?
They were full of doubts, but did not ask. After seeing Tang Rufeng arrive at the village entrance, the few people who were waiting on the side finally relaxed.
"You guys go and help deliver the things to the village outside the village first, I'll keep an eye on it here."
Hu Zi was still a little worried, so he took the things he had been moving from the person who had competed with him to move the things, and handed them to a brother from the same village, asking the other party to move more things and continue to go up the mountain to the village outside the village.
The two sides are not far apart, so even if the things being moved are heavier, it is not a problem.
The brother from the same village who was burdened with a bunch of extra mushroom bags was not unable to move them, but felt that his vision was a little blocked. He turned his head speechlessly to look at Hu Zi, but did not say anything. He turned around and followed the other young people to continue up the mountain.
It’s not far anyway. Instead of arguing with Hu Zi here, it’s better to go and come back quickly.
Apparently, others thought so too.
So, the Taoist and his group of students just watched those young men who had been carrying things since they went up the mountain, and whose walking speed they still couldn't figure out, running wildly towards the mountain, turning a few corners and disappearing beside a dense shrub.
Tang Rufeng followed the line of sight of the group of people in front of him and glanced at the direction his fellow villagers were heading, but he didn't take it to heart.
He turned around and looked at the place where the aunts at the entrance of the village often sat. He didn't think of leading people into the village, but directly led them to where people sat at the entrance of the village.
"Everyone, you've worked hard climbing the mountain. Come sit here and rest for a while. There's not enough room in the village for everyone to sit down and rest. I thought it would be better to sit here at the entrance of the village. The stone benches here are specially built and are usually kept clean."
As he spoke, Tang Rufeng led the people to a place that was pronounced as a stone bench, but was actually a stone step, just a long strip of rock that had been simply polished.
A group of people sat in a row. The long stone steps that usually accommodated villagers to sit and chat seemed a little loose after they sat on them.
Ying Huai just watched Tang Rufeng lead people to sit under his nose. It was obvious that Tang Rufeng wanted Ying Huai to take a closer look at these people.
If the person is of bad nature, Tang Rufeng would not want to receive him and would send him down the mountain directly.
However, Ying Huai had already given the order for them to come up, and he already had a preliminary understanding of these people's personalities.
Now that I've looked at them carefully, I have to say that they are worthy of being chosen by the country. Although some of them are a little loose in temperament due to their youth and inexperience, they are not bad in nature and are all pretty good.
He shifted his gaze away from those young people and finally focused his attention on the Taoist who was in the lead.
Ying Huai vaguely saw a familiar aura on this person, but this aura was slightly different from those of the cultivators in the world of cultivation.
Thinking about it, Ying Huai carefully recalled his understanding of this world, compared it with the similarities in the world of cultivation, and soon figured out what this person was like.
The cultivators in this world are somewhat similar to those in the world of cultivation.
After thinking it through, and looking at the students followed by the Taoist priest, it was no wonder that Ying Huai thought they were all good people. This person had screened them in advance, and the bad ones had probably been screened out long ago.
Tang Rufeng talked a lot to the Taoist priest, and the topic finally ended with the Taoist priest's questions.
"Excuse me, may I visit your godmother in Daxi Village?"
When the Taoist said this, his eyes were not directed at Tang Rufeng, but at the tall and dense locust tree at the entrance of the village, which looked ordinary on the surface.
When Tang Rufeng heard the Taoist's words, he followed his gaze and it fell on Ying Huai. His eyes instantly turned cold, and the aura around him began to grow colder.
Because of Tang Rufeng's outburst, the aura around him surged, and the ghost energy was churning. Captain Qing appeared in the Taoist's sight without any warning, and his position was just in front of the locust tree.
The Taoist noticed the changes in Tang Rufeng's body and turned his gaze back to Tang Rufeng who was sitting opposite him.
At this moment, the temperature around him was dropping rapidly at an incredible speed. Along with Captain Qing, who was full of ghost energy, there were also more than a dozen soul groups floating up and down around Tang Rufeng, as well as the tall and strong soul figure, Brother Fan, standing behind Tang Rufeng.
This sudden change frightened the students who had followed the Taoist up the mountain and were originally somewhat relaxed.
A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it the icy temperature that had dropped suddenly because of Tang Rufeng, blowing on their faces. They couldn't help but shiver, white sweat broke out on their backs, and goose bumps instantly appeared on their limbs.
Not to mention those who were shocked when they saw Tang Rufeng's ability for the first time, even Hu Zi, who had seen Captain Fan of the Blue Team many times, was a little confused.
But he knew Tang Rufeng and had interacted with Captain Qingzhi and Brother Fan, so he was not afraid.
After he reacted, he immediately stood beside Tang Rufeng, staring at the Taoist priest intently, gathering his power in his palms, ready to charge as soon as the other party made any move.
