Chapter 257: Formation
"We want to eat vegetables, not grass!" The delicate Wang Man was the first to object.
"It's not grass but vegetables, it's called chrysanthemum, and it's edible." The seedlings or young stems and leaves of chrysanthemum can be used for stir-frying, cold dressing, and soup to eat, and its flowers are very similar to wild chrysanthemums, so they are also called chrysanthemums. That is, there is the clear air of artemisia, the sweet fragrance of chrysanthemum, and the praise of fresh fragrance and crispness, and the general nutrients are all-encompassing, and it has been designated as a palace delicacy.
"Is this really edible?" Wang Man asked uneasily, and when he saw Mu Tong nodding affirmatively, he stopped talking, and lowered his head and followed Mu Tong.
In the evening, when the chrysanthemum is washed first, blanched in boiling water, and then mixed with sesame oil, salt and vinegar) and garlic chrysanthemum are eaten in everyone's mouths, everyone believes that this is indeed not a weed but a vegetable.
"Ahem, that, even though I'm a carnivore, this dish is delicious." After the meal, Wu Yi couldn't help but say, this was the first time he had eaten such a delicious natural plant. Well, he admits that his family has to provide for him and his younger brother Wuxing to go to college, and the family, which is not very wealthy, is even more financially strained, and can only eat nutrients every day, and there is no extra money for them to eat dishes made with expensive natural ingredients.
Sometimes, when they are really greedy, they will go to the Hunter Alliance to find a team to go to the outskirts of the wilderness area, and follow them to run errands and earn some meat to eat. Monster meat is much cheaper than natural plant-based ingredients, and it is often used by hunters to pay their wages.
Today, on the first day they entered the wilderness area, they ate natural vegetables, which everyone had never seen before, and it was so delicious.
"Don't talk now. Listen to me: Zhu Zhong, you and the two brothers Wuyi go to the right front, there are two nests of pheasants over there; Guan Xing. You go to the left with Bai Nan and Zhang Jin, there is a rabbit nest over there; Wang Man, Yuan Min and Sikong, follow me to pick fruits in front of me. ”
Mu Tong quickly figured out what was going on in the nearby terrain by communicating with the plants, but in fact, she didn't communicate with the plants, and she could see it clearly with her divine sense. However, for the sake of pretense. She always pretends to talk to plants, pretending to be pretending, and before she knows it, the plants are really communicating. Anyway, she can really communicate with plants.
I have long known the magic of the communication between wood and plants, and other people are not surprised that Mu Tong can master this, just that she is a wood school master, and she is stronger than other three-star wood star power special abilities.
Zhu Zhong took the two martial arts brothers to catch chickens. Guan Xing, Bai Nan and Zhang Jin went to catch rabbits. The other four walked straight ahead: there were a lot of sour wild fruits, which could be eaten even if they were picked - although they were hard to eat, it was better than not eating them at all, right?
Besides, isn't there Mu Tong? Her fertility technique can ripen the seeds, can she make these sour fruits delicious? Wang Man and the others followed Mu Tong with anticipation to find the berries in the bushes in front of them, a blue fruit similar to grapes, the scientific name is blue fruit.
Yuan Min picked a fruit and put it in his mouth, and with one bite, the blue berry liquid overflowed the entire mouth: so sour! My teeth are sour......
"This thing is too sour. You can't eat it, and even if you do, you can't eat too much. Yuan Min said with a bitter face. It's so sour, if you eat a few more teeth, you'll definitely lose all of them.
"Classmate Yu, can you make this fruit into dessert?" Wang Man looked at Mu Tong with expectant eyes, Mu Tong was a little stunned, these fruits were not fully ripe, and it was normal for them to taste a little sour. However, if you want to get desserts, you not only need to increase their ripeness, but also ensure that they are not overdone and let them rot, you also need to give them a more delicate birth.
"I'll try." Mu Tong agreed, and at the same time, he carried the birth promotion technique, carefully urging a blue fruit vine.
Blue fruit is a vine plant, usually clinging to the trees around it to grow, it doesn't take much wood star power to ripen a blue fruit vine, but in order to make it grow better, Mu Tong communicates with it while giving birth, so that its spirit is very happy. Soon, the berries on the vine became bluer and purple, and the fruits were covered with fruit powder, which was very attractive.
"Will you give us the fruit to eat?" Mu Tong asked the blue fruit vine, and the body of the blue fruit vine shook slightly, indicating that he was willing. If the fruit is not given to them to eat, it will not be long before it falls to the ground or is pecked and eaten by the birds of the forest.
"Thank you." Mu Tong communicated with the blue fruit vine for a while, and then went to ripen other blue fruit vines.
Yuan Min picked a blue fruit that Mu Tong had just spawned, and he was very happy when he ate it: it was too sweet and delicious. Wang Man couldn't help but eat it again, she wanted to compare the taste with the one before she gave birth just now, and she couldn't stop eating it as soon as she ate it, and she ate it while picking it......
"Be careful when you pick them, don't hurt these plants." Mu Tong said, ready to start launching the group birth technique, otherwise the speed of the birth of one tree by one will be a little slow. Anyway, it doesn't take much wood star power to give birth to these rattan plants.
After a flash of green light, this piece of blue fruit was fully ripe, and the four of them kept picking it, putting the blue fruit into the backpack behind them, and even Sikong, who had never liked fruit very much, also ate several. These blue fruits are not only delicious and fresh, but also contain a trace of natural power, which is very good for those who have star power to eat.
Seeing that Yuan Min and the others were busy picking blue fruits, Mu Tong leaned down and looked at a few small seedlings on the ground, which is a plant similar to sweet potatoes, with hypertrophied roots, white, crisp, tender and juicy meat, rich in sugar and protein, and rich in vitamin C. It can be eaten raw or cooked.
Sweet potatoes are not sweet potatoes, they can also be called kudzu and cold potatoes, which are two completely different plants from sweet potatoes. And the plant in front of him has not yet been found to be edible on the celestial planet, so Mu Tong is going to dig out these sweet potatoes, and then directly name it 'sweet potato'.
A sweet potato seedling generally only has the taproot to form a root tuber, that is, a seedling and a sweet potato, so these seedlings are only a few sweet potatoes. However, a sweet potato is more than 50 catties, enough for a group of people to eat.
Mu Tong picked the mature seeds on the ground plants, and used these seeds to give birth to many sweet potatoes. By the time Yuan Min and the others finished picking the blue fruits, Mu Tong had already given birth to more than fifty large potatoes, and each person could get an average of five to six.
"It's sweet potatoes. It's delicious. Mu Tong asked the three of them to finish loading the big potatoes, and then picked up a sign and said to the three of them: "Look, we are so lucky." Dig a sweet potato to find a quest card. "It was a brand number 177, which was discovered when Mu Tong was shaving sweet potatoes for the first time.
"That's right, I found food again, and I also found a brand, killing two birds with one stone." Sikong also said excitedly, although this brand still belongs to Mu Tong, it is one step closer to the fifty brands of the whole group.
"Let's go. Let's go back, it is estimated that Zhu Zhong and Guan Xing are also back. Yuan Min saw that all the food in the vicinity had been found, so he hurried back.
The four returned to the makeshift camp. The other six had already returned.
Zhuzhong's team caught six fat pheasants and came back with nearly twenty wild eggs; Guan Xing's team, a litter of rabbits were served. There are ten rabbits in total. It's only a dozen pounds, and it seems that life is good. And to Guan Xing's surprise, when they took out the rabbit's nest, they actually took out a task card.
Although they had dinner, they might not be able to catch prey every day, and they could find a safe place to camp and deal with prey, so in addition to Mu Tong, Yuan Min and Wang Man, the three girls. The other seven boys went to clean up the pheasants and hares.
Mu Tong asked Yuan Min and Wang Man to pick a large sweet potato, wash it, peel it with a knife and cut it into small pieces and put it on a plate. When the boys are cleaned up, they can have some bedtime fruit.
Yuan Min and Wang Man were busy peeling sweet potatoes, Mu Tong walked to the edge of the camp alone, lifting some stones or moving a few plants from time to time, she was busy arranging a simple defensive and concealment formation for the camp, so that everyone could rest well at night.
Although it is just a formation laid out with ordinary stones and plants, it is not as powerful as using props containing energy (spirit stones, magic stones, etc.), but it is not much better than having no protection at all.
"What is this?" After packing up the pheasant, Zhu Zhong saw that Mu Tong was busy, moving stones and plants, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"You'll find out when you go out and see." Mu Tong didn't answer directly, but let Zhu Zhong take a few steps outside.
Zhu Zhong, who was puzzled, walked a few steps outside and suddenly found that the faint smell of blood that had filled the entire temporary camp was gone. What about his crew? Why are they all gone?
"Come in." Mu Tong's voice came out from inside, but it made Zhu Zhong difficult: Where is this going?
Take three steps to the left, then turn five steps to the right, and then take four steps back......
With Mu Tong's command, Zhu Zhong walked in a big circle. Seeing the tent and teammates he had set up again, Zhu Zhong let out a long breath: the feeling just now was so terrible, as if he had become a person all of a sudden. It's not a good feeling to be alone in this wild area. He now admires Yu Mutong, who is said to have crossed the wilderness area alone, can communicate with plants, and can use this magical means, no wonder she will come back unscathed.
"What the hell is this?" Zhu Zhong is more interested in Mu Tong putting a few stones in the east and a few trees in the west, if this thing is learned, it will have many benefits if it is used in actual combat.
"Haven't you seen a formation in the ancient books in the library?" This formation was indeed recorded in an ancient book in the school library, and it was the introductory formation of an ancient martial arts sect thousands of years ago, and she also discovered it by accident, because it was simple and clear, she wrote it down at the time, otherwise Mu Tong would not dare to put it out in front of everyone.
It's just that the ancient book has been kept in the library, and it has been used as a model for ancient writing, and there is no one who can really understand it, and only a few students have borrowed it to learn the font on it.
"You mean that?" Hearing Mu Tong say this, Zhu Zhong understood that he had borrowed the ancient book, but he couldn't understand it when he looked at it, and he was the same as other classmates who had borrowed this book, so he copied the font on it and returned it.
I didn't expect that such a useful formation would be recorded in that inconspicuous ancient book?
"Can you teach me? This one...... Formation? Zhu Zhong was very glad to have been drawn to a group with Mu Tong, and let him know a lot before
Something I didn't know. I think Mu Tong can understand the text on it, it is estimated that it is related to her studying archaeology, and I heard that she is still a top student in archaeology.
"This ......" Although this is a simple formation, and it is mortal, there is nothing to teach others. But the formation involves a wide range of aspects, and a simple formation like this is not something that can be learned and comprehended in a while, Mu Tong himself will understand it at a glance because he has a solid foundation in the formation. Again, although everyone is now in the same group and gets along well, she has no obligation or responsibility, and must teach others.
Mu Tong is a person who is afraid of trouble, and he is not keen on the affairs of his disciples, and the last time he taught the golden fat and Zhang Qiao'er to promote life, it was just to make it convenient for him to be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables anytime and anywhere in the future, and he also earned a lot of credit points because he sold the birth technique, so Mu Tong felt that there was no loss. And now that Zhu Zhong wants to learn the formation, Mu Tong hesitates.
Zhu Zhongti is actually a smooth mouthful, this kind of formation is so magical, it can already be used as a family heirloom. Although Mu Tong learned it from the ancient books in the school library, I am afraid that no one but her can understand the font on it. If you want to learn the formation, you have to know that kind of ancient script first, and it is true that you can't learn it in a while. It's really rude to say what you want to learn rashly, who will take out the family heirloom to teach people?
"Hahaha, I'm just mentioning it in passing, don't take it seriously." Zhu Zhong put this matter aside, and went to distribute sweet potatoes, blue fruits, and processed pheasant and hare meat to each team member.
Although these things are put in a compression backpack and can be put in a lot, their weight is stacked on top of each other, and if they are placed separately in a team member's backpack, they will be very heavy.
After the food was divided, everyone washed and slept separately. Because they knew that there was the protection of the formation, the ten people slept soundly, and when they got up the next morning, they were all refreshed, as if they had come to the field to practice, but as if they had come out for a vacation.
Also, I found three quest cards on the first day, and I was really lucky.
Good luck continued to follow them, and the next day, the big guy found five quest cards, hit a wild boar, and found potatoes, and ate a day of potato stewed pork; On the third day, everyone found ten quest cards, caught several big fish, and found high bamboo shoots, and ate grilled fish and fried meat with high bamboo shoots......
On the fourth day, ten people found twelve task cards, and the total number of task cards found was already thirty, more than half of the tasks were completed, and a lot of two-star and three-star monsters were played, and the harvest was gratifying. (To be continued......)
