Chapter 23: Spore Story
Elus whistled, and a sharp-toothed beast sprang out from behind the tree, blood still in its mouth, and its tongue kept licking at its sharp teeth, as if it had just eaten a full meal.
Hearing Elus's call, it obediently approached and bent down so that Elus could step onto its high bulging back.
Elus stroked the hard fur of the Sharptooth and smiled, "It seems that you are full, and I don't need to hunt for you anymore." ”
After speaking, she turned over and rode on the sharp-toothed beast, turned her head to Yang Rui and said, "My master, please come with me." ”
Yang Rui said: "I don't have a mount. ”
"You can fly!" Eloth laughed.
Yang Rui said: "I think I'd better sit behind you, if you don't mind." ”
Elus moved forward, smiled, and said, "It's my honor to ride with you." ”
Yang Rui stepped onto the Sharptooth Beast, and before he could sit down, Elus's legs clamped the ribs of the Sharptooth Beast, and the Sharptooth Beast let out a long roar. Yang Rui's body was lost and almost planted. Fortunately, he was able to wrap his arms around Elus's slender waist in time to maintain his balance.
"Hold on to me," cried Elus, "for this little creature is not very gentle, and he loves to run on difficult roads." ”
Yang Rui hugged Elus tightly, only to feel the blonde hair fluttering on his cheeks, and the sharp-toothed beast carried the two Aigner through the dense woods, jumping over the stream, climbing the hillside, and over the branches to the door of a hut.
Yang Rui jumped off the sharp-toothed beast and saw some Aigner's buildings looming not far away, so he asked, "Where is this?" ”
"The Aigner community is expanding, and the old places are no longer able to live, so some of the Aigners have opened up new homes here," said Elus. ”
Yang Rui said: "That's great, I'm glad to see the growth of your race. ”
Elus walked to the door, fell on one leg and said, "My master, welcome to my house. ”
Yang Rui smiled and asked, "What?" Don't you live with your father? ”
Elus stood up, raised her chin and replied proudly, "I've grown up and can live a life of reading." ”
Yang Rui walked into Elus's house and found that the cottage was very simple. Aigner was not accustomed to sleeping in a bed, and in a corner of the room was covered with a thick hide, where Elus slept every day.
The furnishings of the home are also very simple, with bows and arrows hanging on the walls. This bow and arrow is no longer the kind that Yang Rui saw last time, in terms of shape, Aigner has not only improved the material, but also improved the function and structure, so that this bow and arrow can play a greater role.
Seeing Yang Rui looking at the bow and arrows, Eloth said: "The new generation of bows and arrows has been replaced with dragon camphor wood materials, and the bowstring is made of jungle bison leather, which is more tenacious, and with the sturdiness of dragon camphor wood, the feather arrows shoot farther, straighter and faster than before." ”
Yang Rui sighed: "You can all hunt jungle bison?" That's a big guy! ”
Elus nodded and said, "It's a big guy, but we did it." ”
Yang Rui smiled and said, "Aigner is really great. I don't have much to offer you, but you have created more than I can imagine. ”
"Aigner is a thinker, and above all we have a heart that reveres nature and the gods, so that we can live with determination, and we can overcome it with wisdom, no matter how difficult the situation is," said Elus. ”
With that, Elus went to the window, and out of nowhere, a thick and manicured branch came in from the outside, and the branch had a hollow port, and she reached out and pulled out a small piece embedded in the branch, and the cool water flowed out.
She drank all the water from the wooden bowl, and said, "It is the greatest pleasure to be able to drink the water of the holy lake every day." ”
Yang Rui asked, "Is the water of the Holy Lake set aside here?" ”
"Yes?"
"How did you do that?"
Elus smiled and said, "The wise man in Egner has invented a device for pumping water, and the pumping of the sacred lake is connected with hollow branches, and it is spread all over the place, so that every Egner does not have to go to the holy lake, no matter how far away from her, can drink this water every day." ”
Yang Rui walked to the window and saw that the water pipe made of the twigs extended into the air, converging into a thicker branch and extending farther away.
"It's such an ingenious device."
Eloth suddenly said, "My master, it's time for you to see my new discovery. ”
Yang Rui turned around and said eagerly, "Let me see what you are collecting the sticky objects on those mollusks for." ”
Elus knelt in front of the low table, there were many containers of different sizes on the table, she poured the sticky she had collected today into a strainer, and then rinsed it carefully with clean water, the dirty things were left on the strainer, and the small spores that fell into the containers below through the strainer were small spores.
Yang Rui knew that these spores were alive, evolved from single cells, and were only rudimentary life forms.
He asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Elus smiled at Yang Rui and said, "Wait a minute, my master, I'll show you." ”
With that, she brought another container, which was full of spores ready to move. Looking at these spores that greedily absorb oxygen, Elus turned her head to look at Yang Rui and asked, "My master, can you feel the energy released from them." ”
Yang Rui smiled and said, "They were created by me, of course I can feel them." ”
At this time, Alus took out a piece of something from the small cabinet in the corner of the room, Yang Rui saw that this thing looked like a crystal, the size of a thumb, crystal clear, and the precise cutting made this crystal into a polygonal shape, like a huge diamond reflecting the sunlight outside the house.
At this time, Elus closed the door and blocked the window with wide leaves, Yang Rui saw that the room was darkening, and asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?" ”
Elus returned to the low table and knelt down, placing the crystal on top of the spores, which, strangely enough, had not fallen into the container by gravity, but had magically suspended over it, as if it had been held up by an invisible hand.
Before Yang Rui could speak, the crystal changed again, and it lost its ability to reflect light after the room was dark at first. But when it was suspended above the spores, in a slight tremble, Yang Rui found that it seemed to be sucking the biological energy released by the spores, and in the continuous absorption, it began to slowly emit light on its own, and the light gradually increased, until the darkness in the room was driven away and the room was illuminated.
In this mysterious light, Elus said, "Isn't it amazing? The bioenergy released by these spores can light up this and this crystal. ”
Yang Rui asked with a smile: "Where did you find this crystal, it seems that there is no such substance on this planet." ”
"This is what I found in the wreckage of the mothership, and there are these crystals everywhere," said Elus. I asked my father what it was for. My father said it was the matter that the Erin people used as the mothership for energy transmission. When the spaceship was flying in space, the capsule was covered with such crystals, and the mothership was dazzling. ”
Yang Rui nodded: "It seems that it can also be used as a lighting device." In this way, a little spores can light up this crystal, and I don't know how much energy more spores will emit. ”
Eloth suddenly said, "My master, can you help me fulfill a wish?" ”;
