Volume 3 The Mercenary Years Chapter 79 The Gardening Beast
[Gardening Beast], this is the name of the alien beast that came to Ling Hai's mind at this moment.
The Horticultural Beast is also an alien creature brought into Earth by Hera, but this small beast has a docile personality, a small and cute appearance, and does not have any offensive capabilities. The sole purpose of their existence is to transform the environment of the planet and maintain the corridor of living beings, which is why they are called horticultural beasts by humans.
Gardening beasts look a bit like the unicorns in Digimon, but they have short four-legged bodies, brown bodies, and are the size of an adult's fist, so they look very cute.
Despite their small size, they are abundant, and hordes of horticultural beasts are responsible for tending to plants in the living corridors, turning the soil and watering them daily. All alien creatures do not harm Horticultural Beasts, and when they encounter the Terrastar Beasts and humans, Horticultural Beasts will burrow into the ground and hide underground, and then summon nearby Beasts to protect them.
Watching hundreds of gardening beasts neatly walk between the members, spitting out the water hidden in their stomachs to the roots of the plants as they walked, Ling Hai once again sighed at the wonder of life.
Fearing that disturbing the gardening beast would attract the beast soldiers, Shi Jianjun ordered everyone to stand still and wait for the gardening beast to leave. Unexpectedly, in the neat team of gardening beasts, a gardening beast suddenly left the team and climbed onto Li Dana's shoulder.
When Dana noticed this, he grinned and turned his head to face the mischievous gardening beast with a smile. Such a cute and cute gardening beast is only willing to climb on himself, and Li Dana's heart is about to melt at this moment.
The little gardening beast first looked at Li Dana with innocent and curious eyes, and then spit the water in its stomach into Li Dana's face with a "chirp" without warning.
What's more, after this gardening beast spit out water, it still "chirped, chirped" and jumped on Li Dana's shoulder, looking very happy and interesting.
Li Dana's smiling face froze on the spot, the squad leader said that he couldn't do anything to the gardening beast, and Dana could only helplessly watch this gardening beast laugh recklessly and arrogantly in front of his eyes at the moment.
"Ahem, ahem." After the surrounding teammates saw Li Dana being sprayed with "saliva", they covered their faces, covered their laughter, and suppressed their laughter.
After the little gardening beast had fun for a while, he found that Li Dana had remained as he had been and had no reaction, so he jumped back to the team and left in "disappointment".
Ten minutes or so later, the horde of horticultural beasts completely disappeared, and Ling Hai and the others got up and continued to move forward.
With the help of Ling Hai's invisible, the team searched for the alienated Lingzhi in the living corridor smoothly, and did not have a single conflict with the patrolling beast soldiers.
The mature alienated reishi was either guarded by the beast soldiers or eaten by the beast soldiers, so the goal of the fifth class was to find those immature alienated reishi.
Night fell quickly, and Ling Hai and his party were advancing in the forest full of blue light, with the feeling of exploring alien stars.
Time passed like this, and five days later, Ling Hai and the ten of them found a total of more than 10 immature alienated Lingzhi in different positions in the living corridor. During this period, Shi Jianjun marked the location of the alienated Lingzhi on the map, and then estimated the ripening time, and continued to command the team to find more immature and alienated Lingzhi.
Although the others outside of Ling Hai didn't understand why it went so smoothly this time, they knew how to seize the rare opportunity. If they could collect some more Alien Lingzhi, they wouldn't even have to fight with the orcs on this mission.
On the twelfth day of the mission, Class 5 found a total of 42 immature Alien Ganoderma lucidum. Their maturation time was probably between the fifteenth and twenty-first day, so Shi Jianjun dispersed the team and went to different locations in the living corridor to wait for the maturity of the alienated Lingzhi.
After ripening, every time they collected it, the squatting members of that place immediately left the corridor with the alienated reishi mushroom, and finally gathered at the storage camp.
Because Ling Hai was the strongest in the team, he was assigned to squat with the largest number of guards, and he was also the last to mature the Alien Lingzhi. Ling Hai didn't have any opinion after hearing this, because it was safer for him to act alone.
Ling Hai was responsible for collecting 16 Alien Lingzhi, accounting for more than one-third of the total, which meant that if he successfully brought the Alienated Lingzhi back to the camp, his additional income would be even more, and Ling Hai was very satisfied with this "more dangerous" task assignment.
Hiding his body, Ling Hai began to carefully observe the alienated Lingzhi that made the mercenaries flock to it.
The alienated Ganoderma lucidum was born from the Ganoderma lucidum, and its form is naturally not much different from the original Ganoderma lucidum on the earth.
The biggest difference between ordinary reishi and alienated reishi is that the alienated reishi grows in the living corridor and is cared for by gardening beasts.
While waiting, Ling Hai found that the frequency of gardening beasts coming to Alienate Lingzhi was very high, at least four times a day, so that the land around the Alienated Lingzhi was relatively wet.
Ling Hai also noticed that the growth environment of the alienated Lingzhi was very unique, and the fluffy soil seemed to contain the coagulated blood of various beast soldiers. During the waiting period, Ling Hai didn't see any beast soldiers coming over to drop the beast corpses, which could only mean that this piece of soil was first watered with beast blood, and then it was sown with alienated Lingzhi.
Day and night alternated, and the time came to the fifteenth day of the mission, and a voice came from the walkie-talkie in my ear.
"Hou Ziqi, the four alienated lingzhi have been successfully collected, and they have now been evacuated from the corridor, the report is complete, see you in the camp."
It seems that the alienated Lingzhi in various places has begun to mature one after another, and Ling Hai slightly stretched his body in place after hearing this, cheering up.
Next, the channel sounded the good news of the members of the fifth class one after another.
"Dana Li, the five alienated lingzhi have been successfully collected, and they have now been evacuated from the corridor, the report is complete, see you at the camp."
"Barton, take... The collection was successful, and now it has been evacuated, and the battalion... See you at camp. ”
"Jiang Yun, the seven alienated lingzhi have been successfully collected, and they have now been evacuated from the corridor, the report is complete, see you in the camp."
Shi Jianjun: "Received, members who go back, please note that after bringing the alienated Lingzhi back to the camp, you can hunt freely in the buffer zone to increase your income." ”
……
"Shi Jianjun, the collection was successful, and he has now been evacuated. Ling Hai, I will send the alienated Lingzhi back first, and then come out to pick you up, you will work hard for another day, and contact you at any time if you have any situation. ”
The ripening period of Linghai's squatting Lingzhi was on the nineteenth day, and he had to wait for the other members to leave the corridor before he could collect the alienated Lingzhi. At this time, after hearing that the squad leader on the eighteenth day had also successfully evacuated, Ling Hai let go of his last worries.
This time the squatting time was long, and the team did not reserve enough time for hunting, and the team's harvest was basically all counting on the alienated Lingzhi. Now that the squad leader has successfully taken 26 Alienated Lingzhi out of the corridor, plus they basically didn't consume ammunition this time, it is 100% to make money and return to capital. If Ling Hai can bring back these 16 alienated lingzhi, the fifth class will make a lot of money this time.
On the nineteenth day, Ling Hai, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly smelled a smell of blood, he opened his eyes suddenly, and set his eyes on the alienated Lingzhi in the field. I saw that the Ganoderma lucidum mushroom cap, which was still a little curled up before, suddenly stretched out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the color became more vivid.
Alienated Ganoderma lucidum is ripe!
Ling Hai jumped out of the grass suddenly, ran to the side of the alienated lingzhi, spread out the package, and began to collect the alienated lingzhi.
One, two, five...... When the seventh Alienated Lingzhi was picked, Ling Hai's body stagnated slightly. In his perception domain, Ling Hai found that there were many beast soldiers around him, some with burst teeth, some with one horn, and some with illusions......
Ling Hai hurriedly activated his spiritual power and activated his command ability to make the surrounding beast soldiers stand still, and then he hurried to continue picking the alienated Lingzhi.
Wrapping the 16 Alienated Lingzhi on his back, Ling Hai walked out slowly from the midst of dozens of beast soldiers, looking as usual. After the orcs saw it, they just sent Ling Hai away with a blank.
Thanks to Ling Hai being here, if someone else squatted and the beast soldiers arrived early, it was estimated that none of them would be able to get out.
A few hours later, Ling Hai walked out of the living corridor safely and soundly, he turned on the walkie-talkie and said, "Ling Hai, 16 alienated lingzhi have been successfully collected, see you at the camp on the way back." ”
