Chapter 198
Coming back to his senses, Lin Xuanzhong said the question he had just thought of, "Why didn't the person who got the jade crystal nucleus first take it in time?"
As soon as these words came out, Ming Buregret suddenly had a feeling of getting to know Lin Xuanzhong again. Ming Buregret, who was lacking in interest just now, really forgot about this key issue, but now that Lin Xuanzhong mentioned it, Ming Buregret was shocked to find that Lin Xuanzhong's ability to find the problem was very strong, and he couldn't help but think highly of Lin Xuanzhong.
"Although the jade crystal nucleus is not large, there are too many heaven and earth aura contained in it. If the aura that Wu Xiu can absorb at one time is limited, it cannot exert the full effect of the crystal nucleus, resulting in a greatly reduced chance of breaking through the bottleneck, so it is generally necessary to blindly use herbs that can prolong the effect of jade as an introduction. ”
"That herb grows in the cold, and it doesn't come until the true north. All in all, taking the jade crystal nucleus on the spot is like destroying the heavens, and it may not be useful. Although the crystal nucleus is harmless to the human body, it is better to keep it than to take it in a hurry and waste the opportunity. ”
The two paragraphs of Ming Wuregret were a little confusing, and Lin Xuanzhong on the side wrote them down word for word before he figured it out. Obviously, the crystal nucleus cannot be directly subdued, but it explains why the two sides are fighting. I'm afraid that the person who finally gets the crystal nucleus will no longer stay in the same place to do things, and will have to work tirelessly to find the primer of the medicine.
"As long as the news of the appearance of the jade crystal nucleus spreads, I don't know how many people will lose their lives for this," it seemed that he had thought of the scenes where Wu Xiu fought for the jade crystal nucleus, and his tone of unrepentant tone suddenly became emotional.
"That's true," Qing Yi, who hadn't said anything for a long time on the side, couldn't help but nod his head when he saw that he didn't regret saying it with such emotion: "I really don't know who the jade crystal nucleus will end up with." ”
Listening to the meaning of the two, it seems that the crystal nucleus will not fall into the hands of the two people who are scrambling, Lin Xuanzhong thought about it with some doubts, and gradually figured out what was going on, it seems that there is a follow-up to the matter, but unfortunately the three of them have no way to know the specific news.
"Let's go," after resting for a while, he urged the two of them to leave out of worry. In a dangerous and unknown situation, the two of them got up directly, and along the original direction, the three of them kept walking forward.
The more they ran into the forest, the more the three of them felt that something was wrong, and the forest was quiet, so that people could not see a trace of anger. So, in confusion, the three of them slowed down, paying attention to their surroundings as they went. Before you know it, it's getting late, and it's cold in the woods.
Hungry and thirsty, it didn't take long for the three of them to stop completely.
"What should I do?" Seeing that it was getting late, but dinner had not yet settled, Ming Buregret rubbing his stomach and feeling a little anxious.
"Let's find something to eat nearby!"
"But I haven't even encountered a fierce beast along the way, where can I find food?"
"yes, it's so desolate and silent, it doesn't really look like there's something to eat. ”
"It's better to wait for the people behind than to know, maybe some of them will know what this place is. ”
The three of you are talking word by word, and they are not very optimistic about the current situation, especially when they are hungry.
"Why don't we look in the forest and see if there are any fruits to eat?" Remembering that this was how he solved the food problem in the dense forest before, Lin Xuanzhong said hopefully.
But he was soon poured cold water on Ming without regrets!
"It's winter now, where is the fruit for you to eat, I think you should eat the leaves. Lin Xuanzhong glanced at him angrily, and he didn't regret it, as if he was talking too hard, there was a pain in his abdomen, and he couldn't help but reach out and rub his stomach harder.
"Then what do you say?" Lin Xuanzhong did feel embarrassed while gaining insight again, remembering that the previous life in the forest was indeed in autumn, and later the fruits that Qingyi and they brought back from their inspections were all remnants of fruit trees. To put it simply, there should be no fruit to eat in winter.
Strange to say, though, although the weather is cold now, the forest is verdant, and not even half of the fallen leaves can be seen on the ground. Since there were no fallen leaves on the ground, Lin Xuanzhong gradually ignored the second half of what Ming Wuregret said.
"Why don't we split up and look for something to eat, and then meet here in a quarter of an hour," Seeing that a few people were confused, Qing Yi had no choice but to propose this.
"The method is good, but this place is too quiet, the yin is deep and creepy, I don't think it's early, it's better to go or let's go together," it seems that he has considered Qing Yi's method, and after looking around, he directly rejected the proposal.
On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong was more in favor of speaking without regrets, Lin Zi's quietness had long made people feel terrible, and it was better not to look for food separately. Besides, I am so unfamiliar with this place, and it is even more troublesome if I can't find my way back after separation. The more Lin Xuanzhong thought about it, the more he disapproved of the proposal to find food separately, and he had to stay with the other two even if he was hungry.
Seeing that Ming did not regret vetoing his proposal, Qingyi naturally looked at Lin Xuanzhong, wanting to see what Lin Xuanzhong thought.
"Brother Ming is right, I think we might as well just find a safe place to rest, and wait until tomorrow morning to find something to eat?"
"Qingfeng has some truth in what he said, I think it's better for us to rest in place, right?" It's really not early now, after running for a day, Qingyi is naturally very tired, so he is very willing to accept Lin Xuanzhong's proposal in turn.
"No," but Ming did not regret it and promptly gave a negative speech, shook his head at the two of them, and said: "The night is too long, if we are hungry in the middle of the night, we really have to eat leaves, I think we still try our best to look in the forest before it gets dark." "I don't want to rest as soon as possible, how can I not be tired after a day of tossing, but I don't regret worrying about more problems.
Now they are indeed comfortable resting in place, but if they really have to stay up, they may not be able to survive the night. After expressing their opinions without regret, the two people who originally planned to rest here overturned their original ideas, and they all felt that what Ming did not regret was reasonable, they could endure it for a while, but they might not be able to last one night, and it would be even more unrealistic to look for food in the middle of the night. So, the two nodded to Ming without regret one after another.
Setting off again, the three of them walked side by side, and in order to maximize the search range, the three of them deliberately separated a little. Walking all the way forward, it was getting late and late, and the forest had been unusually quiet, without any bird calls or the roars of fierce beasts, as Ming Buregret said, it was really quiet and scary.
As they walked forward, there were more and more weeds in the forest, and the steps of the three of them became slower and slower, and now they could only faintly see the shadows of others. In such an environment, the three of them no longer had much hope of finding food, but the feeling of hunger prompted them to stop until the moon climbed into the sky, and the three of them were together.
The three of them who got nothing walked a little shaky, but they didn't expect that the moon was still bright tonight, and most of the forest was pitch black, but the area where the moonlight could shine in was faintly visible, so after a brief exchange, the three of them continued to walk forward with the idea of not giving up without finding food.
"Isn't it a little strange to look at those trees in front of you?" An hour later, Lin Xuanzhong was dizzy from hunger, and his legs were sore, but the scene in front of him still made Lin Xuanzhong blink his eyes repeatedly, and finally pointed to a tree in front of him and asked.
Following what Lin Xuanzhong pointed out, the two people next to him walked forward, and sure enough, they saw some strange-looking trees, which were crooked and different from the trees they saw when they came.
Curious, the three of them moved closer.
A few meters away, Lin Xuanzhong could see more clearly. The tree in front of it looks like the trunk is straight, but the branches wrapped around the trunk coil around the trunk very regularly, resulting in a very strange appearance of the tree.
When Lin Xuanzhong carefully looked at one of the trees, Ming Buregret had already walked over, and was reaching out to touch the trunk, perhaps because he was too tired to walk, his body leaned over, and Ming Buregret still wanted to rest against the trunk.
"There seems to be something wrong with this tree trunk?" When Ming Buregret's hand was placed on the tree trunk, Ming Buregret's body leaning forward suddenly restrained, and he turned back to greet Lin Xuanzhong and the two with a puzzled expression. On the other side, I also pinched it hard with my fingers.
It's a little soft and a little cold, maybe it's too tired, and I don't regret that I didn't react to anything wrong in a short time, and I'm still standing under the tree.
"Be careful," and when Lin Xuanzhong and Qing Yi also wanted to go over to see what was going on, Qing Yi suddenly saw a black shadow on Ming Buregret's head moving. If you look closely, it looks like a beast is stretching its neck. Frightened, Qingyi hurriedly reminded Ming not to regret it.
At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong also noticed that the thing that was swinging above Ming Buregret's head was getting longer and longer, and when it was three feet away from the top of Ming Buregret's head, those things that looked like the head of a fierce beast suddenly opened up and rushed towards Ming Buregret even faster.
A burst of fishy smell gushed in, and Ming Buregret, who was under the tree, clearly felt that something slimy was dripping on his head, and seeing Qing Yi hurriedly coming over here, he didn't need to be reminded, Ming Buregret knew that there was danger on his head, and immediately shrank his neck.
Immediately afterwards, Qing Yi, who took a few steps forward, saw clearly what the suddenly opened triangular head was, which turned out to be the head of a big snake. At the critical moment, without having time to think about it, Qing Yi used almost all the strength of his body to decisively wave the long sword in his hand when the big snake swooped down.
A light and shadow swept across the neck of the big snake, and Qing Yi attacked other positions one after another. The scorn of the sword cutting through the flesh passed, and a splash of blood splattered.
In the night, the head of the big snake was directly hit by Qing Yi's three attacks, and the neck, which was thicker than the mouth of the bowl, was broken into several pieces.
During this period, Ming Buregret, who had realized that it was not good, squatted down, and his body rolled forward abruptly, and when the big snake's limbs were about to hit his body, he pulled out.
