Chapter 16: Snowflake Watermelon
Nearly half a day passed, and with all kinds of strange movements and rich facial expressions, Kao finally made Barito Squirrel understand what he meant, and flew towards the snow lava again.
Seven or eight back and forth, snowflakes and watermelons stuffed the burrows of flying squirrels.
"Yes! That's enough. Kao looked at the pile of watermelons in front of him and nodded contentedly.
"Thank you." Kao crouched down and rubbed the flying squirrel's head.
"It's not early, I can't sleep in such a cold place, otherwise it will be difficult to wake up the next day." Kao came to the cave with a watermelon in his arms and poked his head out to look at the dark blue sky.
"Let's move one by one, three should be enough." Kao figured out how difficult it would be for him to get the Ice Watermelon.
Holding the snowflake watermelon in one hand, Kao grabbed the rope that had come down at that time and prepared to return. But as soon as he held it, the rope that had been eroded by the ice turned into crushed ice slag and fell into the snow lava.
"This ...... I can only climb with my bare hands. Katou looked up, then plunged his right hand into the snowdrift and began to climb.
……
Barrito's frozen volcanic crater, a bruise-purple hand poked out of it, grabbed the ground tightly, and then a man rolled over and climbed up.
"Whew! Call! Call! No, I don't want anything else, so be it. Kao lay on the ground, gasping for air.
Because the snow melts when it is hot, in the process of climbing up, Kao has always used only "firmness" and no mental ability to raise the temperature of his body. At this time, the whole body was already in a state of extreme hypothermia, especially the right hand was now completely unconscious.
"If there are six or seven watermelons, those flying squirrels should last a while......" Kao thought as he looked at the sky.
Kao probably lay down for more than an hour, using his telekinesis to warm his body, and the sky was already full of stars: "It's time to go back." ”
Kao picked up the snowflake watermelon and began the return journey.
In the cave on the inner wall of the frozen volcano, a Barito flying squirrel that had been restored by Kao's telekinesis sat at the entrance of the cave, exuding a reddish telepathic aura......
55 rue Leg, the villa of the great farmer.
In the living room, a white-bearded old man held Kao's hand: "Mr. Kaou, thank you very much for bringing snowflake watermelon!" ”
"To each his own according to his needs." Kao smiled, an envelope containing two million nuns in his pocket.
"Hahaha, it may not be anything to you, but I've been waiting for a long time, by the way, let's eat watermelon together." The farmer pulled Kao to his seat.
"This ...... May I? "Truth be told, due to time and inadequate preparation, Kao only got such a watermelon. I'm still very curious about its taste, and I was going to go to the frozen volcano again before leaving.
"Of course you can, in fact, what I want is snowflake watermelon seeds, I have obtained them before, but they all withered due to the failure of planting." The farmer gestured to the butler beside him as he spoke.
"I see." Kao nodded.
"Do you know why this watermelon is called snowflake watermelon?" The farmer took a spoon from the butler's hand.
"Isn't it because of the lines on it?" Kao looked at the watermelon on the table.
"That's just one thing, the most important thing is ......" The farmer taps a spoon on the watermelon, and the watermelon cracks a tiny crack, and then white snowflakes spray out of it!
The snowflakes continued for three minutes, and the whole room was covered with a thin layer of snow, "This strange scenery is the real reason why he is called Snowflake Watermelon." The farmer smiled.
"It's quite bizarre indeed." Kao sighed as he picked up a tuft of snow on the table.
The watermelon was cut in half by the farmer, and he handed the half to Kao: "Come, this melon has to be dug and eaten to be delicious." ”
"Thank you." Kao took the watermelon, picked up the spoon and dug into it, the crisp sound of the spoon touching the flesh made Kao look forward to it.
The skin of the snowflake watermelon is as thin as paper, and the flesh is crystal blue. Kao could feel the cold smell of the spoon just by putting it in his mouth.
When you bite into it, the texture is delicate and crispy, and the plump juice splashes into the mouth as if it wants to fill the whole mouth, and the taste is refreshing but not sweet, making people can't stop it.
The farmer smiled with satisfaction and delight as he looked at Kao, who was eating like a hungry wolf.
"It would be nice to be able to grow it......" In the courtyard, a fertile land has long been cultivated.
"Ahh Satisfied, satisfied. Kao placed the hollowed-out watermelon scoop on the table and lay down on the ground.
"I don't think it's early, how about I rest here tonight?"
These words made Kao realize his faux pas, and he sat up suddenly: "I'm sorry to ......"
"It's okay, let's stay tonight." The farmer waved his hand.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Kao didn't refuse, because he really didn't think about the dormitory tonight, so he simply stayed here.
……
The next day, Kao said goodbye and left the farmer's house to go to the spacecraft field, which had access to the rest of the world.
Arriving at the spaceship field, Kao went to the window first: "Hello, I want a ticket to the Sky Arena." ”
"Eighty thousand nuns."
"Tsk...... It's expensive, but it's okay to get a discount of only 4,000 rings. Kao took out his hunter's license and four thousand rings and put them in the window.
"Uh...... Hello, this, please wait a minute. The conductor, who was originally cold-faced, was stunned after taking the hunter's license, and then immediately put the hunter's license on the machine for verification, and saw the photo of the holder on the license.
He looked at it again and again, and after making sure that it was Kao, he respectfully handed the ticket and hunter's license back to Kao: "This is your ticket, I wish you a pleasant journey." ”
"Thank you." Kao took the ticket and left.
……
On the ship, Kao finds the dining room and prepares for lunch.
"Hello, I want a huge bowl of teriyaki rice bowl." Kao glanced at the menu and said to the waiter.
"Little one, are you going to the Sky Arena by yourself?"
"Yes." Kao looked at a stout man who asked him, and his heart was slightly excited: here it is, this kind of unfolding.
"Go see?"
"No, I'm going to compete."
"I advise you to dispel this idea, otherwise it will make you suffer a lot if you meet someone as strong as me."
Kao's eyes lit up as he looked at him, ready to say what he had wanted to say since he became a hunter.
"Don't look at me as only fifteen, I'm a ......" Kao put his left hand on his chest, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, neither ostentatious nor low-key.
"Dude, you think too highly of yourself, I just bought a ticket with him, and he took out his hunter's license when he paid for it......" Kao was about to finish, when a man eating noodles behind him suddenly interjected and told him all about Kao.
Kao's expression suddenly turned cold, and his right foot flew up, kicking him directly from his seat to the door of the restaurant, letting out a miserable scream.
Ignoring the surprised look on the face of the strong man in front of him, Kao straightened his clothes and continued: "Don't look at me as only fifteen years old, I'm a professional hunter!" ”
After saying this, Kao's face turned red, and he kept shouting in his heart: Achievement achieved!
"Yes! In the next faux pas. The strong man looked at Kao and sat up nervously.
