Chapter 362: The World Under the Valley
After the seedlings of the two wine bottle grasses were planted, Lin Zeng closed the wine valley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Plants planted on natural land are much easier to worry about than potted plants. The deep earth, the humid valley environment, provides enough moisture for the wine bottle grass.
With the key he carried, the big metal lock that opened the iron door, Lin Zeng walked into the silent and uninhabited valley alone.
Where there was once a barren grass, the brown soil was exposed after being cleaned by machines and manual inspections. Fortunately, at this time, it enters the alternation of autumn and winter, and ordinary weeds enter dormancy, if it is the turn of spring and summer, the growth rate of weeds is unusually fast, and if it is left alone for two or three weeks, the weeds in the mountains will be overwhelming.
Wine bottle grass is a plant that is very less affected by temperature, it is very adaptable to the environment, and the only requirement is that if there is more light, its wine bottle can secrete more winemaking substances.
So Lin Zeng chose a sunny place to plant wine bottle grass.
Therefore, the valley where the sun shines particularly well is a good place to grow bottle grass. Of course, it is not impossible to plant in a backlit place, but there is a certain difference between the flavor of the wine brewed and the bottle grass planted in the sun.
Therefore, Lin Zeng did not use the shady land in the valley for the time being. These lands are still reserved for shade-loving plants, such as fine vine jade dendrobium, etc., which can be used more fully.
In just two weeks, the height of the wine bottle grass has reached the position of Lin Zeng's chest. Under the wide leaves, a bottle no larger than a palm hangs between the branches and leaves, and the bottle is still green on the outside, and when it turns into a colorful color, it is ready to place the raw materials for sake brewing.
When Lin Zeng planted the wine bottle grass, he carried out zoning control. The number of bottles varies from 50 to 100 plants per area. In different areas, different ingredients are placed to facilitate management, and different flavors can also be obtained.
As for the Crystal Bottle Grass, Lin Zeng planned to collect the first batch of naturally brewed liquor, and then put these liquor into the bottle of the Crystal Bottle Grass for secondary brewing.
Lin Zeng went to the prefabricated house that had not been demolished, took some equipment, and walked briskly to the depths of the valley. At this time, the valley, where only the bottle grass was planted, was still relatively desolate. The topography of the valley, combined, resembles a long string of rock sugar gourds, and between the two areas, there is only a small passage connecting them.
He has some basic equipment such as a climbing rope, a flashlight, and a military shovel in his hand, and his destination is the cave in the valley waiting to be explored.
Caves are often associated with words like mystery and danger. Standing in the bright world outside, exploring the cave, the unknown world in the dark, you can't help but be afraid.
At present, the largest cave in the world is Hansong Cave in Annanguo, which is currently nine kilometers long and constantly expanding. More than 150 large and small caves make up a wonderful underground world.
Lin Zeng didn't know how much space there was in the cave that the system required to explore. The entrance to the cave is not large, and even the old villagers of nearby Ganle Village do not know that such a cave exists in this valley. However, Lin Zeng guessed that the scale of a cave that could allow the system to issue crypt breeder tasks should not be too small.
Lin Zeng took his equipment and pushed away the wooden plank blocking the cave. A damp breath came from the cave. Turn on the head-mounted searchlight, and the extremely bright light shines into the cave, and a natural corridor that gradually widens is presented in front of Lin Zeng.
Lin Zeng was vigilant, although he had weapons to prepare for self-defense, this cave that led to the depths of the earth still made it difficult for him to feel at ease. If it weren't for the mandatory task of the system, he would have directly chosen to pay for a professional to explore the secrets.
But obviously, if this method is used, Lin Zeng can only accept the fate of the failure of the mission. He will face the torment of fifty days of terrifying trial realm.
The last twenty-four hours had already made him hateful, and if he extended this time fifty times, no matter how strong his heart was, he would be tortured and out of problems.
In contrast, he would rather take a certain risk of the unknown and explore the cave on his own.
These natural caves always make some strange noises, like whistling mountain winds, adding a bit of horror to the surrounding environment. However, most of the reason is that the air currents change in the cave, and the natural sound formed is not too dangerous except for the frightening feeling.
The biggest danger of such a cave is the poisonous insects that inhabit the cave.
Fortunately, Lin Zeng, as a breeder, seems to have a special aura for the poisonous snakes and centipedes that often appear in the cave, and these insects and snakes avoid them. Therefore, along the way, although Lin Zeng saw that there was no sound of crawling in front of him, he did not see these poisons.
Lin Zeng walked forward cautiously and cautiously, and under the light of the searchlight, the road in front of him became wider and wider, and the cave, which was originally less than two meters wide, gradually became about the width of an ordinary four-lane road. The height of the cave is also constantly rising, Lin Zeng can't visually detect the specific value, but he can feel that it is not much different from the height of an ordinary indoor basketball court.
Moving on, the road was not easy to walk, there were protruding rocks, and there were depressions that fell suddenly, but fortunately, Lin Zeng's speed was not fast, and he was not hindered.
After groping and moving slowly for about half an hour, a cross-section, plummeting ground suddenly appeared in front of Lin Zeng, about two or three meters away from where Lin Zeng was standing at this time.
Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with being cautious, if Lin Zeng didn't notice it, his steps would be faster, and if he didn't pay attention, he would have fallen.
Standing on the edge of a very cross-sectional plane, Lin Zeng turned his head left and right, and the searchlight continued to sweep in all directions with the rotation of his head. As Lin Zeng saw his surroundings more and more clearly, he almost screamed in surprise.
It's really a cave underneath!
Although Lin Zeng had already guessed about this when he received the task, the shock of seeing such a natural cave that was taller than a basketball court could not be described in words.
It's a pity that his searchlight, in this underground space, is too faint, and the distance he can see is extremely limited, and he can't get a full picture of this cave.
Just as Lin Zeng was thinking about moving forward, or turning around, the system's prompt sound sounded clearly.
"If you find traces of low-level shimmer plants, it is recommended that the owner of the space collect them. Low-grade shimmer plants are important raw materials for refining ordinary shimmer plants. After being upgraded to a one-star breeding apprentice, Lin Zeng vaguely found that the system of the breeding space took the initiative to prompt a lot more. For example, now, without its reminder, with a bright searchlight in the dark, and such a wide space, Lin Zeng would not be able to find the so-called shimmering plants for a month.
Lin Zeng thought about it, turned off the searchlight above his head, and stood quietly in place, the surroundings fell into a boundless darkness, and the sound in the cave on the side of his ears was clearer, like flowing water, as if the wind was howling, but it was more like this cave that had not existed for thousands of years, and he whispered.
His eyes, gradually adjusting to the darkness, found that this cave hidden deep in the earth was not without light.
A very faint blue light, with some faint aura, on the cave wall to the left of Lin Zeng, faintly, if Lin Zeng hadn't turned off the bright searchlight, it would have been difficult for him to find this almost negligible blue light.
But now that he has found the location, Lin Zeng has a direction to explore.
He turned on his searchlight again and looked at the place where the blue light was emitting.
He remembered that the blue light was about two or three square meters in area, and it shouldn't be too difficult to find the shimmer plant that the system said.
As Lin Zeng expected.
The strong light of the searchlight hits the rock wall, and the plants growing on the rock wall are unobstructed.
The lilac-like moss-like plant that clings to the rock wall is supposed to be a lichen that grows in the dark all year round.
Lin Zeng took out the sapper shovel placed in the breeding space and began to get the plants down.
The purple lichen plant, which is less than a centimeter in height, has countless small purple buds that are almost transparent, and the tip of the purple bud is a particularly deep purple color, which may be the source of its light.
Lin Zeng took about one square meter of plants off the rock wall and put them into the breeding space.
He didn't plan to delay, but planned to refine this low-level shimmering plant directly here.
