Chapter 30: The Crystal Beetle

There were many plants in the Valley of Bliss that Qin Zheng had never seen before, but she didn't seem to pay much attention to these flowers and plants before, and she couldn't recognize much. To be a killer, her body must be clean, not contaminated with any smell that is easy to distinguish, and she never touches things like flowers and plants or the fat powder commonly used in her daughter's house.

But if you don't recognize it, you can't tell whether the plant has toxins or not, and you can't learn from Shennong to taste the herbs, right? It's going to kill you! Qin Zheng stood on the mountain in the south, looking at the whole lush flowers and plants in front of him, and was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to hoe.

It seems that I have heard that the more poisonous the mushroom, the more vivid the color, I wonder if these flowers and plants can also be distinguished in this way. She rubbed the tip of her shoe against a mushroom growing on the trunk of a tree, kicked it to pieces, and walked towards a plant with bright purple flowers not far away.

Regardless of whether it is poisonous or not, dig it first and then talk about it, dig some more and bring it back, so that the ointment can be picked by yourself. Qin Zheng squatted on the ground and began to dig a pit, digging out the rhizomes of flowers and plants, along with mud and soil, and throwing them into the medicine basket.

When there are things to do, time generally flies, and Qin Zheng has to pay attention to try not to let the juice of those flowers and plants get on his skin, and he can't feel the passage of time when he concentrates. It wasn't until the sky began to get dark, and she couldn't even see the scene in front of her clearly, that she straightened up and began to walk down the mountain with the heavy medicine basket on her back.

Rustle, rustle.

There was a slight sound coming, Qin Zheng immediately became alert, and looked at both sides of the road, could it be that there were long insects hidden in the grass? Helplessly, the light was too dim to see clearly, but thinking that there was a snake venom pill in the belt that he had obtained from the task in the morning, his heart was a little calmer.

Rustle, rustle.

When I continued to walk forward, I could still hear this sound, what kind of snake would actually follow people? Qin Zheng quickened his pace and almost ran away. As soon as the movement was amplitude, the rustling sound disappeared, and only the sound of the wind passing by his ears and his own footsteps could be heard.

Rustle, rustle.

Running down the mountain, Qin Zheng was leaning against the pillar of a pavilion to catch his breath, who knew that he heard the voice again. This time, it was clear that there were no insects or small beasts nearby. She listened closely, and found that the sound was coming from the medicine basket on her back.

Taking off the medicine basket, Qin Zheng was suddenly surprised, the original basket full of flowers and plants was now only half of the basket left. The rustling sound continued, so she took out her dagger and picked up the flowers and plants covering her face to check, only to see a beetle the size of a thumb nail, transparent as crystal, and emitting a white glossy glow, was lying on an inky flower and gnawing on the petals, through its transparent shell, you can see that there are thin black lines spreading from the mouth, but soon disappearing into the body, I don't know where it went.

Qin Zheng thought it was beautiful when she saw this glowing transparent beetle for the first time, and was about to pinch it out of the medicine basket with her hands, but found that it was eating the petals very fast, and the ink-colored flower as big as the mouth of the bowl had been gnawed off in a moment when she was stunned, and she could even see the tiny tentacles of the beetle's head shaking slightly, and the mouth opening and closing quickly. However, what Qin Zheng was most surprised by was not the speed at which the beetle ate, but its appetite, it was not enough for such a small beetle to eat so many flowers and plants? What's even stranger is, where does the food go? There has not been any change in its body shape at all.

Qin Zheng reached out and tried to pinch it out to see what was going on, but as her fingers approached, the crystal beetle seemed to sense something, and immediately stopped eating, lying there motionless, and even the pair of tentacles no longer trembled.

"Haha, you're pretending to be dead! Do you think you can pretend you haven't eaten my flowers and plants? Qin Zheng smiled, thinking that this crystal beetle was really cute, so he caught it in his hand, put it on the palm of his hand and looked at it, and used his nails to provoke it, but the little guy still did not move, and continued to disguise the corpse very patiently.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and when the lantern hanging on the gazebo automatically lit up, Qin Zheng remembered that his task had not been handed over, so he turned out an empty jar originally used to hold the golden medicine from his belt, although it was a little bigger, but it could barely be used, and opened the lid of the jar to put the crystal beetle in it.

Hurriedly ran to the herb garden, the ointment was sitting on the bamboo chair with his mouth open and the boss was sleeping, Qin Zheng stepped forward and pushed him, but there was no response, and he pushed again, this time he woke up, and his eyes jumped up and said in a panic: "Who?" Who is it? ”

"Me." Qin Zheng replied and sent the medicine basket and medicine hoe to him.

"Wow, why are you, disturbing people's dreams!"

...... "Have you forgotten that you asked someone to help dig the grass yourself?" Why is it still uncertain to be disturbed!

The ointment didn't care about Qin Zheng's emotions, rubbed his eyes, took the medicine basket and reached into his hand to turn it over, glanced in, and frowned and said, "Why is it so much?" ”

"You think it's selling turnips and green onions? A lot of ...... "too little?" Qin Zheng dug carefully for a long time! Besides, the medicine basket was very large, although half of the flowers and plants in it were eaten by the crystal beetle, but there were still dozens of plants, enough for him to plant, how could there be less?

"No, I mean there are few poisonous ones, how can you dig up some non-poisonous ones?" The ointment took out half of the ink-colored flower and said, "Look, this black jade rose is still more toxic, but why is there only half of it left?" How can this be planted? ”

The other half, of course, had already entered the crystal beetle's belly...... Qin Zheng's lips moved, but he didn't say it after all.

"Forget it, hey, this bag of flower seeds is for you, so it's a reward." As he spoke, he picked out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to Qin Zheng, but his face changed when he saw her outstretched hand, and he said in shock: "What's the matter with your hand, it's poisoned?" ”

Well? After listening to the words of the ointment, Qin Zheng looked at his hand, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. I saw that a hand was swollen black and shiny from the fingertips to the wrist, and the black gas continued to spread to the arm.

"Hey, were you bitten by a snake on the mountain just now, or did you encounter some special poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds? Think about it. The ointment's eyes lit up, but he didn't care about her.

Qin Zheng's heart was bright at this time, knowing that it must be because he had caught that strange crystal beetle with this hand, but could a small insect be so violent? Just touching it for a while, not being bitten, and the skin is not broken, can you be poisoned like this?

"Hey, say it quickly, you'll die if you grind. I don't know what poison you have and how to help you solve it? The ointment finally said something human, although he was not a human, but Qin Zheng didn't know this, she always thought that NPCs were just some special non-ordinary people.

"I've only touched this." Qin Zheng said as he took out the jar of golden medicine from his storage belt. Even though she knew that the ointment might ask her for it when she saw the crystal beetle, she still felt that her life was more important.
