CHAPTER XXI
"Yesterday's rain was relatively heavy, bringing all the discrete water vapor in the air down, plus today's sunny day, it is a rare super good weather in the Warcraft rainforest, and the environment will quickly become dry," Ling Mo walked leisurely in the Warcraft rainforest, and did not forget to explain to Catherine who followed behind: "Just today, you will see a lot of rare wonders that are usually seen." ”
"Wonders?"
"That's right, Wonderland, at the current rate, there are about two hours to reach the destination, and on the way, let's talk about survival first. ”
Ling Mo pointed to the surrounding plants and asked Catherine, "Do you know all these plants?"
Catherine struggled to make it out and shook her head: "There is a part of the acquaintance, but a lot of it feels plausible and a little strange. ”
"This is very normal, due to the existence of the World Tree in the Warcraft Rainforest, it contains too much magic and other alien energy, and the plants that can live in this place for a long time will naturally have related mutations. Like this one,"
Ling Mo stopped, leaned down, pinched down a small cyan fruit from the top of a vine lying on the ground, held it up in front of Catherine's eyes and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Catherine looked at the small green fruit carefully, it was oval, the whole was not as big as the first knuckle of the thumb, and there were regular longitudinal dark green stripes on the pale green background, this kind of appearance Catherine was sure she had seen, but she couldn't remember what it was.
Seeing Catherine's confused face, Ling Mo smiled and said, "This is a watermelon, didn't expect it?"
"Watermelon?!" Catherine was taken aback, but then she was a little relieved, indeed, this striped appearance is a unique symbol of watermelon, but this small appearance makes people completely unable to associate with the usual watermelon of more than a dozen catties. "Why is it so small, and isn't watermelon suitable for living in a dry environment?"
"This is the magic of the Warcraft Rainforest," Ling Mo took the little watermelon to his eyes with some fascination, "This extremely small watermelon is called ' in the Rainforest Centaur Tribe." Pepgino', which means a small fruit, this fruit is very rare, because watermelons prefer a dry environment, and the Warcraft rainforest is extremely humid almost every day, in order to adapt to this extreme weather, watermelon vines have mastered this incredible way of evolution, usually gather energy in the underground part of the vine, once the environment is found to be suitable, it will immediately fuse the energy escaping from the air, and produce this small fruit, from flowering to fruiting only three hours, and then after three hours, it will be "boom" Blow it up. ”
"Blow it up?!" Looking at Ling Mo's exaggerated movements, Catherine was even more puzzled: "Why blow it up?"
"Of course, send your own seeds to as far away as possible," Ling Mo held up the small green fruit in his hand, pointed to the bulging belly and said, "Don't look at it small, there are dozens of watermelon seeds in here, and the explosion after the fruit ripens will send them far away, and the farthest record I have ever seen is more than three kilometers!"
"Three kilometers, more, this explosion is too powerful, isn't it?" Catherine imagined for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill: "Master, you said that if someone happened to eat this thing as food, would it ......?"
Ling Mo nodded, confirming Catherine's guess: "Definitely, I have seen an old man with a very white beard in the past nine months, with a red explosive head. As far as I can tell, it's probably a magister? He's wearing a snow-white chef's suit and a bunch of modern-looking camping equipment, he's probably a foodie who loves to travel, right? Tsk, the exploding head really exploded, and I was splashed with brain pulp more than ten meters away. ”
"Whitebeard, chef's suit exploding head Magister?" Catherine thought hard for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that the Magister of Macdanlow? He entered the Warcraft Rainforest a while ago and said that he wanted to find the best condiment for his unparalleled secret fried chicken nuggets, and he died like this?"
Ling Mo shrugged: "Well, it's dead." When I saw this magister pick up the 'Pepkino' and prepare to eat, he rushed towards him as fast as he could, but he probably mistook me for some kind of demonic beast that attacked him, and in an instant, he set up a red flame shield to block me, so tragedy happened. ”
Catherine looked at Ling Mo in a daze, and for a while she had mixed feelings, Magister, you died in such obscurity, and the way to die is still like this...... Aggrieved?
suddenly broke out such a fierce news, and the barrage immediately boiled:
"I watch Mr. Ling's shows are always full of surprises!"
"What kind of bullshit is this, isn't it more worthy of the name to explode watermelon?"
"Well, there's one less Magister in the world, a moment of silence. ”
"Silence is meant to be silent, but when I think of the death of Magister McDanlow, I somehow want to laugh. ”
"It's probably a silence mixed with a touch of funny, right?"
"Don't you? I still like to eat all kinds of fast food invented by Master McDanald, does it mean that we will not have a great gourmand from now on?"
The barrage was discussing, and suddenly a line of red font appeared in the center of the live broadcast room that can only be used by administrators: "Hello Mr. Ling, I am the administrator of Fighting Shark, after hearing this sad news from you just now, the family of Magister McDanlaw contacted us, can you have a conversation with him?"
"Yes, family. What's the matter?"
"That's right, Mr. Ling," the red font hung in front of all the barrages in the live broadcast room: "I am the son of the Magister McDanlow, and I am very saddened by my father's death, if you can, can you easily tell me the location of my father's death, I want to bring his body back." ”
"This ......" Ling Mo frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Although I remember that location, the location is quite deep, and it is dangerous to retrieve your father's body. ”
"It's okay, please tell me the exact location. ”
"Okay, I'll take a trip on the way back to see my apprentice off, but I advise you not to get your hopes up, although I buried his body in the ground, but with the climate of the Warcraft Rainforest, it is estimated that there is only one skeleton left now. ”
"Even so, please. ”
Ling Mo didn't say more, he shook the little green fruit in his hand, and said to Catherine: "It's far away, although this little watermelon is dangerous, there is definitely a reason why it is called 'Shuoguo', look here." ”
He pointed to the top of the small watermelon, where there was a horizontal stripe of extremely fine shallow, almost unrecognizable:" As long as you have excellent knife skills, you can break the small green fruit along this fine line, then the seeds in it will shoot out from this small mouth like a cannon, but it will not hurt other parts, the skin and flesh will be intact, it contains extremely rich nutrients, and it is rumored in the centaur tribe that after eating it, you will get the blessing of the gods, and the young centaur boy has a very high success rate of courtship with this pulp. Although every year there will be unlucky ghosts who are not good at swordsmanship, and they will die on this thing. ”
After Ling Mo finished explaining, he stuffed the little watermelon into Catherine's hand and pointed to the fine line, "Well, your task is to break it open and eat it." ”
Catherine took the little watermelon, her face turned a little blue, she carried it carefully, as if she was holding a bomb, okay, just holding a bomb, looking at Ling Mo with some pity, her big eyes were full of hope.
Ling Mo turned a blind eye, he silently took out another dagger from out of nowhere and handed it over, Catherine took it and took a look, it was almost exactly the same as the previous dagger, a miserable white bone blade about a foot long, a slightly curved arc, an unknown tree vine woven gauntlet, if it weren't for the fact that the handle of the dagger was completely different from the upper handle, Catherine would even mistakenly think that it was the same one, she took it and tried it, it was still as sharp as ever, and then heard Ling Mo's reminder: " Don't be nervous, your current physical fitness, even if Pepkino blows up in your hands, he won't die, but he will be seriously injured, I will be responsible for healing you, rest assured. Remember, control your muscles and swing the knife quickly, the faster the better. ”
Catherine nodded, took a deep breath, held a small watermelon in her left hand so that the top of it was facing outward, and held a dagger in her right hand, pondering for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, her wrist flipped over, and her fingers moved, and the dagger was centered on the top of the handle, and it rotated at high speed!
She tried her best to keep the center of gravity of the dagger on the overhang line, and after stabilizing it for a few seconds, she easily pushed the fine lines of the little watermelon into the path of the dagger's rotation, and cut off the top without a sound!
Da Da!!
With a crisp and dense "click" sound like a wind magic cannon, dozens of seeds spewed out of the small, inconspicuous watermelon at an incredible speed, hitting the trunk of the big tree in front of Catherine, and the one-meter-diameter tree was hit by sawdust flying sideways, and it was broken from it in just one second, and it fell down with a wail!
Catherine was stunned as she watched the tree fall in front of her, and muttered, "Now I suddenly feel that the Magister Maidan has died unjustly......"
She rubbed her reddened palm, shook her numb arm, and heard Ling Mo praise: "Very good, very smart, know how to follow the rules of physics, this idea is very good." ”
Catherine hurriedly said modestly: "The main thing is that the dagger given by the master is good, the sharpness of this dagger is simply exaggerated." It looks like the teeth of some beast are grinded, right? Whose teeth are they?"
"Mine. ”
“...... Huh?!"
