Chapter 0556: Mutant Cistanche
Although Nelson, as a husband and father, has instinctively used his body to protect Lily and Alia's mother and daughter.
Even the old ranger next to him took the initiative to stand beside Nelson, but Liu Huaidong knew that if he was really hit by those dozen fireballs, everything they did would be in vain.
It is a true fire of samadhi that claims to be able to burn all things in the world, and cannot be extinguished without the waters of the four seas and the three thousand weak waters!
In the face of the temperature of the flame, which was almost infinitely close to the surface of the sun, no matter how much mortals struggled, they could not escape the final miserable fate.
Therefore, Liu Huaidong almost made a decision immediately, and directly gave up tracking Zhou Geng, but turned around and exerted his strength, turning into an afterimage and flying away towards Nelson's four people.
"Boom!"
At the last moment, Liu Huaidong still ran ahead of time, and at the last moment, a thick mana barrier was opened in front of Nelson and others.
More than a dozen fireballs slammed into the looming shield, and in an instant, they exploded and turned into a sea of fire.
For a while, countless sea buckthorns around were burned, but fortunately, the four people who were protected by Liu Huaidong were all safe and sound.
After the fire dissipated, Liu Huaidong also waved his mana shield away, and the first thing he did was to run to check on little Alya's physical condition, "You are not injured, are you?"
Liu ...... Dr. Lau, thank you for saving us again. ”
Seeing that his wife and daughter were safe and sound, Nelson immediately knelt down in front of Liu Huaidong excitedly, "We are worried that you won't be able to deal with that guy, so we plan to stay and take a look, if you are not his opponent, we can also call the police to support you." ”
"Hurry up!"
After Liu Huaidong made sure that the four of them were fine, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly helped Nelson up from the ground.
If it wasn't for saving them just now, Zhou Geng would definitely not be able to run out of Liu Huaidong's palm, and Liu Huaidong would be able to get rid of the big trouble he was most afraid of today.
But it's a pity, maybe Zhou Geng's life shouldn't be extinguished.
But Liu Huaidong didn't mean to blame Nelson and the others, after all, they stayed for their own safety, and Zhou Geng's guy, as long as he didn't play yin with Liu Huaidong, Liu Huaidong really didn't take him seriously.
"Okay, okay, it's okay, I'll send you back. ”
After the divine sense sensed that Zhou Geng had run ten kilometers away, Liu Huaidong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking about sending the four ordinary people back first.
At this moment, Arya wiped the tears on her cheeks that had not dried, and looked at Liu Huaidong with blank eyes, "Uncle, are you an immortal?"
"Hmm...... Sort of. Liu Huaidong touched Alia's little head, and finally couldn't bear to break the beautiful fantasy in the little girl's mind.
Sure enough, hearing him nod his head in acknowledgement, a bright smile couldn't help but spread across little Arya's face, "That uncle must be able to cure the virus, and uncle will definitely be able to save our country, right?"
"Yes, Uncle will cure the virus in South Africa, Uncle assured Alia!"
Liu Huaidong nodded again, and when Nelson and Lily saw this scene, their faces couldn't help but show a little knowing smile.
After calming the emotions of the four people, Liu Huaidong planned
sent them away first, but just as they were about to leave, Liu Huaidong suddenly noticed that not far away, there was a plant, which still retained a faint breath of life in the ashes!
"Huh......"
Liu Huaidong, who was curious, couldn't help but walk over, squatted down and dug out the rhizome of the plant from the ashes, and after carefully studying it for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, "This is not ...... Cistanche?"
Yes, as the heir of a family of traditional Chinese medicine, Liu Huaidong is very familiar with the scorched rhizome in his hand.
Since he was a child, his grandfather has cultivated his skills such as medicine recognition and pharmacy, and now what Liu Huaidong sees is the medicinal material that has been clearly recorded in many medical books in China, Cistanche!
Merely...... How awesome does this cistanche have to be in order to retain a trace of vitality after being refined by the Samadhi True Fire!
While Liu Huaidong was curious, he also began to carefully observe the cistanche rhizome in his hand.
However, although the rhizome had not been completely reduced to ashes, it had been burned beyond recognition, and when Liu Huaidong dug it out of the ashes, it was completely dead in less than ten seconds.
Just when Liu Huaidong was a little disappointed, Leng Buding looked up and saw that a little farther ahead, there was actually a piece of such cistanche, and probably because of the distance, the degree to which that piece of cistanche was affected by the Samadhi True Fire was much smaller than the one in Liu Huaidong's hand.
Why do you say that? Because Liu Huaidong clearly saw that above the rhizome of the cistanche, there was even most of the burnt black medicinal herbs.
At that moment, Liu Huaidong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed up to carefully study the piece of cistanche, this time Liu Huaidong was more careful than last time, and he didn't even dare to touch the dying piece of cistanche with his hands.
Not far away, the four of them stared at Liu Huaidong's strange reaction, all puzzled.
"Your name is Nelson, right?" After a while, the old ranger suddenly spoke, and after Nelson nodded, he pointed to Liu Huaidong's back and whispered, "You ...... Friend, is he interested in the cistanche I planted?"
Hearing this, Nelson was also stunned, but then he shouted to Liu Huaidong in Chinese: "Doctor Liu, the old gentleman next to me asked you, are you interested in the cistanche he planted?"
Liu Huaidong, who was studying the cistanche, was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up with a bright eye, and looked at the old ranger standing next to Nelson, "Help me ask this old gentleman, are these cistanches really planted by him?"
Nelson translated Liu Huaidong's meaning into the South African dialect to the old ranger, and the old ranger nodded to Liu Huaidong after hearing it.
"Sir, how do you grow cistanche here? How many more?"
Seeing the old ranger's response, Liu Huaidong hurriedly stepped forward excitedly and asked, and Nelson also consciously acted as a language bridge between these two guys who didn't understand the language, commonly known as the translator.
"What, is there anything strange about me Cistanche?"
"No, no, no, I just found that their medicinal properties are purer than ordinary Cistanche, and their vitality is also extremely vigorous, I have never heard of such Cistanche since I was a doctor, so I would like to know, how did you cultivate them?"
"Oh......" The old ranger nodded suddenly in understanding, and then pointed to the surrounding sea buckthorn planting area and said to Liu Huaidong, "As you can see, this."
It was originally a sea buckthorn cultivation area, and the cultivated sea buckthorn was used to solve the problem of desertification in our country. ”
"However, because it is close to the edge of the desert, it is often affected by wind and sand, and although sea buckthorn is very drought tolerant, it also has a slow growth cycle and stunted growth. ”
"Later, I discovered that the rhizomes of Cistanche plants have a lot of water retention after they reach maturity, so I tried to cultivate Cistanche and sea buckthorn together. ”
"The facts have indeed proved that my idea is correct, after trying this method, these sea buckthorns are indeed growing very healthy because of Cistanche, and I don't know why, even the Cistanche I planted here has reached maturity, and the size is much larger than the average Cistanche. ”
The old ranger explained the problem to Liu Huaidong through Nelson's translation.
After hearing this, Liu Huaidong also thought thoughtfully for a moment, and then muttered to himself: "Cultivating with sea buckthorn, is it because of this reason that these cistanches have mutated?"
Before Nelson could translate this to the old ranger, Liu Huaidong then looked up and asked, "Old man, do you have a lot of similar cistanches here?"
After Nelson translated, he got the answer from the old ranger, and then truthfully relayed it to Liu Huaidong.
"Yes, this sea buckthorn reserve covers an area of fifty square kilometers, and the number of sea buckthorn is about as large as the number of cistanches, and these cistanches have been planted by me one by one in the past few years!"
Liu Huaidong couldn't help but be in awe when he heard this, only to see that he actually bowed deeply in front of the four people to this conscientious and dedicated old ranger who had made countless efforts to the greening cause.
"Old sir, I'm a doctor, and now I've found out that these cistanches of yours may have ingredients that can deal with the new leaf virus that is spreading wildly at the moment, can I study their medicinal properties?"
"Are you telling the truth?
Hearing that the new leaf virus that plagued the whole of South Africa might be able to find a breakthrough in the cistanche he planted, the old ranger's wrinkled face was instantly overflowing with uncontrollable joy.
Not only him, but the Nelson couple and little Arya also grinned with joy when they learned the news.
You must know that this sudden outbreak of the new phylovirus in South Africa has left the medical support teams of many surrounding countries helpless, and even if this trend continues, it may directly lead to the cessation of South Africa's existence!
However, at this moment, Liu Huaidong may find a turning point, which makes them, as South Africans, how can they not be excited?
After getting the permission of the old ranger, Liu Huaidong did not hesitate to use the Extreme Longevity Body Method, and his body directly opened a phantom like a ghost, and rushed in a direction in the distance.
The samadhi fire erupted just now, affecting only a small area, and according to what the old ranger said, this sea buckthorn reserve has an area of fifty square kilometers!
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to a place where sea buckthorn grew unusually luxuriantly, and Liu Huaidong really saw that a piece of cistanche was planted at the root of every sea buckthorn tree around.
At that moment, he did not hesitate to pick off the largest piece of cistanche, and directly bit off a piece and chewed it vigorously.
