Chapter 41: Finding (Picking) the Spiritual Root
Northern Jiangsu, Xuyi County, Huai'an City, Chengbei Urban Village.
There was something different in the little bungalow tonight.
Because the thirteenth of the month made a sumptuous dinner, and welcomed the new member of their family, the little hamster, with Xue Xiaotong.
The baby hamster is about 20 centimeters long and stands on the highest chair in the house, just enough to reach the table.
At this time, in front of it, a small iron basin was placed, in which there were some pickled pieces of meat, as well as some vegetables.
Here's its dinner.
Looking at such a sumptuous dinner, the little hamster, who was already hungry, showed a very greedy expression.
However, it didn't just pounce on it and gobble it up.
Instead, he looked at the thirteenth month with great restraint.
There's no way, the thirteenth day of the month has set up more than 20 chapters for it, and if it is violated, it will be punished.
In the past few hours, it had struck several lightning strikes, and the pain from body and soul was no longer to be endured.
"Let's eat!"
Yue Thirteen nodded to it and said.
I also picked up my chopsticks.
And the little hamster, after getting the permission of Yue 13, immediately threw himself into the iron basin and devoured it.
It can't be helped, the energy consumption of evolved creatures is particularly large, and hunger comes faster and more intensely.
And it hadn't eaten for hours, and it was already hungry.
"Be quiet!"
The little hamster was eating too loudly, crackling, and Yue Thirteen immediately scolded.
Immediately, the little hamster's movements paused.
Then I saw that its little paws began to become lighter.
On the side, Xue Xiaotong, who saw this scene, widened his eyes.
"How can you be so well-behaved all of a sudden?"
She looked at Yue Thirteen and said with a curious expression.
I remember that when I first came home, I always wanted to escape, and I was very wild.
How did it take an afternoon to be honestly like this?
Let the east not dare to go west.
"Probably because you saw through it, right?"
Yue 13 glanced at the little hamster and replied.
When the little hamster heard Yue Thirteen's words, he couldn't help but despise him in his heart.
Obviously, you were beaten and intimidated by you, so people are like this, right?
When did you see through it?
It was tempting to jump up and scratch at Yue Thirteen, if it could beat it.
...
Meal.
The little hamster was full of food and drink and came to the windowsill.
This is the nest assigned to it on the thirteenth day of the month.
Lying in a small nest of a few shabby clothes and bamboo baskets, the little hamster thinks about the rat life.
In the days before it was in the sewers, it was not only difficult to find food to fill its stomach.
I also have to avoid some maggots and insects after the mutation, and even if I am hungry, the brothers of the same kind next to me may eat each other.
Although it has the ability to temporarily control the rat colony, living in such a dire environment makes it fearful all day long.
How can it be as comfortable as it is now?
At least you don't have to worry about eating it, and you don't have to worry about being eaten suddenly.
So, after thinking about it like this, it suddenly felt that this kind of rat life is not too bad!
Although there is no freedom...
In fact, it cannot be said that there is no freedom.
After all, there is food to eat, there is a nest to squat, and there is no need to run around every day to survive.
Having enough time to think and do what you love is also a kind of freedom, isn't it?
The little hamster thought to himself and rubbed comfortably in the nest.
And at this moment, Xue Xiaotong's voice came from the kitchen.
"Little hamster!"
"Wash your own rice bowl, or I won't give you food tomorrow!"
Xue Xiaotong walked out of the kitchen.
shouted at the little hamster sitting on the windowsill.
As he spoke, he waved the spatula in his hand at it.
The little hamster immediately sat up when he heard this.
Crawl out of the comfort of your little nest.
Then he jumped off the window sill, followed Xue Xiaotong, and entered the kitchen.
The rice bowl that washed it went.
...
22:30 minutes.
Xue Xiaotong was practicing frantically in the room, and she wanted to rush through the level, in order to make a bet with Yue Thirteen a month later.
And Yue 13 walked out of the room with a backpack on his back and came to the windowsill.
The little hamster felt it and immediately stretched out its little head from the rat's nest.
"Let's go, follow me to the suburbs!"
The voice of the thirteenth moon sounded in its head.
"Squeak...!"
The little hamster nodded, in response.
Then, it jumped off the ledge and obediently followed behind Moon Thirteen.
A man and a rat walked out of the house.
...
...
It's night, starry.
Walking under the silent night sky, the thirteenth month suddenly felt a sense of comfort.
Especially when a cool evening breeze blows.
It made him feel refreshed.
One man and one rat, left the urban village all the way from home to a wasteland on the outskirts of the northern part of the city.
When it is said to be a wasteland, it actually refers to before the aura is revived.
Now, after experiencing the tide of aura.
The vegetation here has grown wildly and has changed dramatically.
Patches of bushes have been over the shoulders of the thirteenth of the moon, and you can see many flowers and plants everywhere, as well as some dense foliage and vines with roots several meters long.
The thirteenth of the month stopped.
"Is there any little brother of yours nearby?"
Yue 13 looked at the little hamster and asked.
"Squeak...!"
The little hamster nodded his head as he said yes.
"Okay, then summon them all!"
However, instead of doing so, the little hamster squeaked, "Squeak... Creak... Squeak!"
While gesturing with his paws.
"Uh...!"
Yue Thirteen was a little confused, and he didn't understand its consciousness.
"You're trying to say you can't summon it?"
He asked, after a moment's thought.
"Squeak...!"
"Don't squeak, squeak, I don't understand!"
Moon Thirteen interrupted the little hamster with black lines full of heads.
Then he said, "Yes, you just nod, no, you just shake your head!"
Hearing this, the little hamster immediately shook his head.
"Then let's summon it!"
Yue 10 said.
However, the little hamster shook his head again at this time.
"What, you're saying you can't do it now?"
Yue Thirteen thought for a while and asked.
The little hamster nodded hurriedly.
I thought to myself, this human finally understood what he meant.
It had already used its ability to control other rats twice at noon today.
And the second time was to gather all the rats within a few hundred meters of the vicinity, which cost it a lot of money.
Therefore, it no longer has enough energy to exert its ability to control the rat colony.
"Okay!"
Yue Thirteen nodded, and did not embarrass it.
Just set off, began to take the little hamster into the bushes, and began to look for the spiritual root needed to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill.
Actually, you can come and pick before the thirteenth day of the month.
The reason why it is coming now.
It was because now was the time when the spiritual root had almost completely digested the massive amount of spiritual energy harvested by the previous aura tide.
The efficacy and maturity are the highest.
Best for picking.
Moreover, the efficacy of the spiritual root will not be exposed in a short period of time, and no one will care about it here.
