Chapter 199: Python Protecting Flowers
"Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, it is for the lotus!"
Su Yang licked his lips, he thought of lotus leaf rice, lotus leaf porridge, lotus seed stewed chicken soup, lotus seed roasted pork ribs, cumin lotus root, lotus root soup......
Suddenly, the incurrious group of snakes destroyed the mood, and these snakes swam into the swamp one after another, surrounding the lotus flowers.
Under normal circumstances, one-on-one orangutans can kill snakes, but in the face of so many snakes, it is difficult to say, the orangutan group cannot break through. Besides, there may be something wrong with this swamp, and who knows if it will sink into it.
"The flowers are blooming." Xiao Xia shouted.
Su Yang's eyes widened, he only hated that there was no telescope, in his impression, the lotus flower seemed to be slowly blooming from the early morning, and the petals would close in the evening, and the whole flowering period was relatively long.
They were waiting here, not far from the swamp, and the little fox and meerkat were not far away.
As time goes by, snakes appear one after another, but there are not so many of them, and the number of meerkats is also increasing.
Stabilize your mind and concentrate on looking at the flowers, the lotus is not big, it is only thirty or forty square meters, there are dozens of flower bones in it, the growth is relatively good, with some flowers blooming, Su Yang did not feel any difference.
Soon, however, one of the lotus flowers attracted him, and the petals of this flower were blooming layer after layer, and they were also larger than the others. Just like a gardenia, there is one layer, and there are four or five layers of petals, but the overall size of the wreath is about the same.
"Sue, that's it." Xiao Xia exclaimed in a low voice.
He saw it all, he was counting, one layer and two layers, it had already opened five or six layers, and it was not finished, the petals inside were smaller than the outside, the cyan petals were very beautiful, but they were not charming.
When it was almost noon, the whole lotus flower was in full bloom, and the petals definitely exceeded ten layers.
Not all lotus flowers can produce lotus flowers, but he believes that this flower can, and when it does, the snakes roll in the water, looking excited, but there are no snakes to destroy the flower, just circling around.
The orangutan group also became irritable, and tried to get close to the swamp, but was stopped by the snakes.
"Roar!" Not far away, the roar of the beast was heard.
Then Su Yang was shocked to find that there were many beasts, bears appeared, monkeys came, donkey-headed wolves, leopards, among them there were two black panthers, and even birds of prey were circling in the sky, and a few eagles swooped down, confronted the snakes in the swamp, and captured a snake.
"This is so wrong, is that lotus really a good thing? It attracted hundreds of beasts to watch. ”
He couldn't sit still, this thing is destined to be obtained, and it needs people of high moral character, isn't he talking about it? Regardless of whether it has any effect after eating, at least the lotus seeds will not die if they are eaten, and how can they be let go.
Su Yang wanted to charter the field, wrap up this swamp, wait for the lotus seeds to ripen, and become a domineering president. It's just that in this way, the construction period will be delayed, and it will be a difficult choice.
No matter, let's go back and discuss with the elders first, maybe which elder knows about this kind of green lotus? He also thought of Matsu for the first time, the old man had a history of stealing the essence of the chaos before, he should know this.
Just when he wanted to make a move, suddenly the swamp water rolled over, and a lot of bubbles bubbled, and the water suddenly became more muddy, as if something big was underneath, and before he could wait long, a bucket-thick python suddenly rushed out of the water, which could scare people into urine.
This giant python began to swim in the water, and its body was huge and super long, many, much bigger than the Amazon python that Su Yang had memories in his mind. Fortunately, the snake body rushed out of the water just now, and he didn't see the long feet, otherwise he would have mistaken it for the legendary dragon.
His hands trembled a little, he was already afraid of snakes, but now he saw such a big guy at close range, special code, can this magical lotus flower still be in his hands?
"Roar!" The beasts on the shore were also frightened, but they did not leave, if this python dared to go ashore, it would definitely be beaten to death by the herd of beasts, but the python has been in the swamp, so it is helpless.
And Su Yang also found that the water in the swamp was relatively deep, and the short primitive people could go down and probably not go over their heads, which was really bad.
"Let's withdraw first, and then come back and figure out a way." Su Yang was a little unwilling to leave with everyone.
But the little fox stayed, mixed in the meerkat, at least there is plenty of food for the meerkat, and it is good to bite some snakes, as for the giant python, don't think about it, the size is too big, and the meerkat swarming up may not be able to bite to death.
"But this place is a good hunting ground, so you don't have to worry about killing all the predators. Because humans are carnivores, and if they win the beasts, they are at the top of the food chain. ”
He roughly estimated that it would be more than a month before the lotus pod would ripen, and then it would be time to pick the lotus seeds. The houses are almost finished, and the warriors can be moved here, but what if the snakes eat the lotus pods in advance?
The flowering period of the lotus is only half a month, and if he wants insurance, within half a month, he has to find a way to destroy the snakes, including the giant python.
As long as this python goes ashore, in fact, it is not terrible, people pounce on it from behind, at least with Xia Bu's arm strength, the python can be pinched, of course, to prevent being entangled by the python and strangled to death.
Shook his head, don't think about it yet, the snake group didn't move the lotus today, it seems that this lotus flower is safe in ten days and a half months, he is staying here now, it's a waste of time, and whether the lotus seeds really have a miraculous effect, or two.
It's like the big girl also ate the essence of the earth at that time, although it was only half small, but the effect was not obvious, and it was not magical!
"Su, Xia wants lotus seeds." Xiao Xia said.
Xia Bu is also talking in general, because of his stuttering, he can't express long sentences, but the meaning is obvious, he wants lotus seeds.
Su Yang also wants it, but isn't there no way now, the soldiers haven't learned to swim yet, even if they really dare to go into the water, they will kneel in minutes.
"I'll go see the salt mine first, and I'll figure it out when I get back." The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can use labor tools, and the giant python is there, and he can always think of a way to deal with it, but he still needs to think about it, and he doesn't want to see anyone die.
After leaving the swamp, I basically never encountered a snake or a beast, and I was lucky enough to hunt two deer. There are many species and numbers of deer in this forest, making them good hunting targets.
Looking at the antlers in his hand, it is rumored that the horns of the dragon are imagined in this way, and primitive people have always had the habit of collecting antlers, regardless of whether there is a dragon or not, he Su Yang is the Son of Heaven and a dragon.
However, just when the Youxiong clan was in full swing to build a tribe and prepare to mine salt mines, other tribes in this area also took action, unwilling to wait for the Youxiong clan to become stronger day by day...... (To be continued.) )
