Sassy ......

A dark shadow flickered in the bushes.

Probably because there is no connection between the cave and the outside world.

Therefore, the elves here are no longer afraid of Chen Xingyu's breath.

Just when the little fire dragon was eating wild fruits.

The dark shadow finally emerged from the low bushes.

Climb slowly in the direction of the fruit tree.

Looks like.

It also targets the great fruits of the tree.

'Huh'!

Originally, Chen Xingyu didn't care much.

But when he saw the identity of the black shadow thoroughly, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

sighed in my heart.

'Moonsee Mountain really hides many magical elves, and it has only been a long time before even this kind of medicinal elves that are already rare in the outside world have appeared. ’

This elf is not powerful, though.

But it is definitely an extremely precious, and it is known as the best medicinal material that is active.

It's the insect elf Pyras.

"The spores covered in mushrooms are born, and the mushrooms on the back grow as the body grows, and the nutrients from Pyras's body are very valuable mushrooms.

Yes.

This long description in the illustrated book seems to describe the elves.

But listen carefully.

You'll find out that it's not actually talking about the elves themselves at all.

All the words in the sentence are just to highlight the importance of Pyras, the accompanying mushroom.

The ingredients of this thing are completely similar to a precious Chinese medicine of the former earth.

Cordyceps sinensis is a concept.

And here, it is also called Cordyceps sinensis by the people of the elf world.

It's just that the earthly version of Cordyceps contains two parts: the insect itself and the plant, while the otherworldly version of Cordyceps only describes the mushroom on Pyras.

Because only mushrooms have extremely important medicinal properties!

Arguably.

This mushroom is a fairy grass-grade medicinal material that is ten million times rarer than the precious Chinese medicine of Cordyceps sinensis on the former earth.

After all, no matter what world you're in.

Longevity will always be the biggest topic that human beings cannot ignore?

You must know that ants still steal life.

Not to mention the previous earth records, those emperors of the ages who have been striving for eternal life in their later years.

Even any unsatisfactory beggar on the road probably hopes that he can live longer.

Otherwise, they would have committed suicide long ago without the current standard of living.

And as far as Chen Xingyu knows.

It seems that there are many well-known pharmaceutical companies in this world that regard pyras as an extremely valuable medicinal material.

They are kept in secret research institutes with great importance.

And then desperately studied them.

Squeezing everything out of them.

While studying the creature, researchers can't wait to pull the mushrooms out of them as soon as they grow.

As a precious raw material for all kinds of life-prolonging drugs.

Earn it a lot of money.

However, it is extremely sad because of the characteristics of Pyras.

Losing the mushrooms on their backs, they don't die for a while, but instead start to eat like crazy regardless of it.

Then something magical happened.

When eating to a certain extent.

It doesn't take long.

The mushrooms on their bodies will slowly grow spores again.

But this miracle turned out to be their greatest misfortune!

They were already born to suffer from the eternal exploitation and plundering of mushrooms, and now they are constantly being oppressed and tortured by those greedy merchants.

Be their source of material.

Although the medicinal effect of this mushroom is not as good as it is a year after year.

But for these businessmen.

It's a one-size-fits-all business.

Because they can keep taking the herbs until they die.

It's sad.

Pyras didn't know anything about it.

I just know by instinct. Crazy eating the abundance of food that the 'compassionate' humans provide them.

But no matter how much nutrients they get from the roots of the tree every time.

Almost all of the effort is taken away by the mushroom gap on the back.

The three-month period is calculated by countless medical scholars, and the frequency of taking materials with the highest efficiency and the highest preservation of medicinal efficacy.

So.

Every three months, people pluck out the associated mushrooms that are deep in their bodies from Pyras.

Leaving two ugly pits in his carapace.

Let them go on a feeding spree again.

However, mushrooms are undoubtedly already part of Pyras itself.

It's its flesh and blood!

Every time. For them, it was a torture to the marrow.

However, poor Pyras was even a minor devastation.

But he still doesn't have a long memory, and he doesn't care about recuperation at all, he only knows how to eat like crazy again.

to make sure you can complete your body.

Let yourself survive.

However, what awaits them is a never-ending cycle after three months.

Old wounds have not healed.

He was about to be brutally removed from his body again.

This kind of squeezing behavior.

It will definitely greatly damage the life source of Pyras itself.

Greatly reduce their true lifespan.

Not even a third of the life span of other people of the same kind!

It can be seen that the continuous rough extraction of materials. The destruction of them is really great, big.

But how did the merchants pay attention to such details?

All they saw was a steady stream of money beckoning to them, as for Pyras's feelings.

It's just a medicinal herb, who cares if they live or die?

Although the Elf Conservation Association and many kind-hearted humans can't bear it.

Protest against this extremely cruel method of taking medicine.

But no one denies the essential problem of extracting the longevity medicine from Pyras.

Because in the face of great benefits and longevity.

No one can stand this great temptation. Confuse.

Even if a kind person is in the face of death, most of them will choose to compromise.

After all, at the end of the day.

Pyras is just a kind of elf that has nothing to do with them.

So, although the material is a little low-key.

But behind the scenes, there are still countless people who take risks, or just put a fig leaf on it.

Day and night, he tried his best to study and exploit Pyras.

Trying to get more money and mushrooms from them.

Raised year after year in a confined space.

And give birth to them with drugs.

Even, many of Pyras, from birth to desolate death, were thrown away and burned like garbage by machines.

I haven't seen what the sun looks like outside the institute.

Sad, lamentable!

If you look at Pyras as a human being.

What it experienced was definitely the most tragic in history. As a poor, miserable human being. Body. True. Inspection and breeding.

So.

You can see a pure wild pyras here.

Chen Xingyu's luck is very good.

It's a bit of a lucky person.

Thinking about this.

Chen Xingyu couldn't help but glance at the wild pyras in front of him, who was still slowly crawling towards the fruit tree.

Maybe it doesn't have a high IQ.

Instead, it has become the greatest blessing in its life. (To be continued.) )
