Chapter 10: The Secret of the Lotus Pond (3)
Liu Ci's palms close to the wooden stick were warm, and they were sticky and icy in the blink of an eye when they were blown by the cold wind. She didn't know how much sweat she was dripping, and as the fighting situation in the snow showed a one-sided trend, Liu Ci's heart became colder and colder. The three wild dogs were injured, and the remaining wild dogs were no longer able to fight, Liu Ci thought about it, and if she escaped, she would attract the attack of the fire-breathing golden pheasant, but if she didn't run, when the golden rooster was free, she would definitely die.
Liu Ci made up her mind, although her heart was pounding with nervousness, her willpower could still control her behavior, and while the wild dogs were dying and struggling to launch the final blow, she turned around and ran away.
The wind blew against Liu Ci's cheeks, and the snow did not reach her ankles, making it extremely inconvenient to run.
There were wild dogs screaming one after another behind him, and Liu Ci's heart was beating too fast, and he had the illusion of jumping out of his chest. She ran a few hundred meters away, and the vest felt a burning sensation - it was the fire-breathing and colorful brocade chasing after her! The other party was in hot pursuit, and Liu Ci seemed to be out of strength, and he was about to fall into the snow...... The golden rooster was overjoyed, and without hesitation, it erupted a ball of fire.
Liu Ci, who should have fallen, suddenly turned around, the fire ball hit her chest, Liu Ci leaned back, his soft waist was first tilted at a right angle, his knees were bent, and the whole person fell back like an acrobat, less than ten centimeters close to the ground. The fire narrowly passed, falling on the snow in front of it and burning the snow with a snorting sound.
Between the lightning and flint, Liu Ci borrowed the support of the wooden stick in his hand, and a carp stiffened and bounced up.
Every time the golden rooster sprays fire, there is a short gap, and this precious gap is Liu Ci's way of life!
She hasn't stopped yet, the wooden stick in her hand has already been thrown, and her thin body originally didn't have much strength, but the explosive force of the person when she was dying made Liu Ci's throwing action extremely powerful.
The sharpened wooden stick, shaped like a spear, burst through the cold air and shot away, knocking the golden rooster that was fluttering in mid-air to the ground. The tip of the stick pierced into the golden chicken's chest, it cooed and screamed, and fell on the snow and struggled, before it could continue to spit out the fire, Liu Ci strode forward and grabbed its neck and twisted it fiercely.
Jinji died of anger, and Liu Ci also collapsed to the ground, so tired that he lost his strength.
Falling in the snow, she was sore and soft, looking at the corpse of the golden chicken on the side, she suddenly laughed, laughing and laughing Liu Ci's tears flowed out.
I still remember that my sister took her to practice "physical arts" in the past, Liu Ci was very disgusted with those boring fighting tricks, who would have thought that she would have today, young and frail, and finally these fighting skills saved her life!
A few wild dogs were still whimpering not far away, Liu Ci knew that he could successfully fight the golden chicken, the key factor was that the wild dogs consumed the ability of the golden chicken, and the golden chicken was caught off guard by her.
Maybe the strength of the golden rooster is not strong compared to other magical beasts, but compared with ordinary beasts, it is obviously in the upper layer of the food chain, Liu Ci killed it with his own hands, and he couldn't say it in his heart.
Hearing the whimper of wild dogs, Liu Ci's heart moved.
If she takes all the wild dogs that have lost their combat effectiveness, wouldn't it be a big gain?
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Ci had the motivation to get up again, and returned to the battlefield with a wooden stick in his hand. Seven wild dogs, covered in scars, roared in warning to Liu Ci as he approached. She is not afraid to laugh back, the scarred wild dog is pitiful, but her lack of oily stomach and thin little body are even more pitiful!
Liu Ci never felt that he was a good person, and he did not hesitate to send all the seriously injured wild dogs on the road.
Dog meat is a kind of food, although Miss Liu Jiaci in the past would feel vulgar and not considered, but it is recorded in the food chapter of "Qi Min Yaoshu" that dog meat is also known as "fragrant meat", which is the meat that the people of ancient China like to see.
At the thought of having meat to eat, the saliva in Liu Ci's mouth couldn't help but secrete.
Although the wild dogs are not large, one weighs forty or fifty pounds, and she can't drag seven back at once, so staying in the wild can only cheapen other predators. Liu Ci thought about it, dug a pit under the big tree a little farther away, and first hid the food and prepared to transport it slowly. When dragged to the largest wild dog, Liu Ci felt that the meat on its belly was soft like a cloth bag, and when he opened it, he saw that the wild dog leader had given birth to a litter of puppies when he was seriously injured!
The cold wind was biting and the snow was cold, and the wild dogs were estimated to be seriously injured and prematurely born, and almost all the puppies in the litter were dead, except for one cub crammed among the siblings, whose belly was slightly undulating and still breathing.
The newborn little wild dog had no hair and pink skin, and after Liu Ci opened the wild dog's carcass, he lost his shelter, and the only surviving little wild dog was shivering from the cold. Liu Ci pinched the wooden stick and hesitated, but finally did not stab it to death.
The little life born in the ice and snow made her throb a little, and more importantly, in the winter forest where there was no entertainment, Liu Ci felt extremely lonely.
She thought she needed a companion.
Liu Ci picked up the puppy and carried it carefully in his arms, without breastfeeding, it had a very small chance of surviving, anyway, she was very lonely, it didn't hurt to try. Feeling the small thing undulating against the skin on his chest, Liu Ci also smiled at the corner of his mouth. After burying the remaining wild dog carcass with snow to make a mark, Liu Ci picked up the golden chicken and dragged another wild dog carcass back.
It has been more than a month since she appeared in the forest, running around for a livelihood every day, although Liu Ci's body is still thin, his strength is much greater, and he quickly returned to the tree hole with dozens of catties of wild dogs.
Putting the puppy in the tree hole, Liu Ci thought about it, but still lit a fire in front of the hole, and hid the wild dogs and golden chickens that were dragged back before going out again.
Seven wild dogs have their internal organs removed, and even the flesh and bones are probably more than 200 catties, which can definitely survive the winter when food is the most scarce, which is a great wealth for her situation at this time, and Liu Ci is naturally reluctant to give up.
Today was indeed Liu Ci's lucky day, until she had transferred all the remaining wild dog carcasses, and she did not meet other wild beasts that were snatching food from her.
The sun was about to set, and when the wind blew, snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell. Liu Ci endured his hunger and skinned all the wild dogs, threw all the internal organs into the distance, buried the dog meat under the snow next to the tree hole, and covered the smell of blood from the scene, so that he had time to look at the most valuable trophy - the fire-breathing golden pheasant.
It is bigger than the chickens raised on Earth, with colorful feathers and beautiful feathers, and more importantly, it breathes fire and belongs to Warcraft.
Liu Ci has decided to let the unknown spit-out casskey for dinner, she is not sure if the meat is good or not, it will not be poisonous, right?
It is very laborious to pull out the roots of the golden pheasant's hair, and it is said in "Qi Min's Technique" that it is best to remove the hair of the birds with boiling water, but unfortunately Liu Ci has no pot and cannot boil water, so he can only choose to dry and hard. When the chicken feathers were stripped off, Liu Ci's stomach was already croaking with hunger.
The brocade chicken is not as fat as she imagined, and there is some firewood in the roasted meat, but it is more fragrant than the chicken she has eaten before, and it should be possible to bring out the best effect of the ingredients by simmering and cooking the soup over low heat, but there is no imaginary feeling of heat rushing through the body after eating, which blinds her expectations.
Liu Ci sighed while nibbling on the chicken that it was really inconvenient to have no pot, in the wilderness, where would she go to get a pot?
The smell of food caused the moss in the cave to stir, and Miss Ci, who lacked a sense of responsibility, remembered the puppy she had brought back.
Looking at the little guy's head arching around, he should be very hungry, but people can eat chicken, what should a newborn puppy eat?!
In Liu Ci's opinion, there is no record in the "New Edition of Qi Min's Techniques", which is very omnipotent, and she was blind. Tear a small piece of chicken and put it in front of the puppy, the little guy's mouth is leaning this way, how to bite without teeth, Liu Ci has no choice but to put the chicken in his mouth and chew it into minced meat in front of it, the little guy sniffed, stretched out his little pink tongue to add the minced meat clean.
This is probably the first wild dog in the world to be born to eat meat without drinking milk, Liu Ci is seriously lacking in common sense of life, whether the puppy can survive depends on the will of God, and she has no better idea. The chicken was dry and woody, and the bite of the minced meat made Liu Ci's teeth sore, she suddenly remembered that the brain flower in the chicken head should be soft, picked up the stone and smashed the chicken skull open, and a hard thing jumped down the stone.
Liu Ci dug out a pale red stone the size of a fingernail, with a warm orange glow in the light of the campfire.
Liu Ci's eyebrows jumped.
As a daughter of a family who has carefully read the general history of the Federation, Liu Ci knows that at the beginning of the new era of the earth, due to the drastic changes in the environment, the mother planet of the earth was occupied by countless mutant beasts. The beasts that produce mutations will form energy crystals in their bodies, and for many years, the Earth Federation has even relied on the crystal nucleus of mutant beasts as an energy source to survive the difficult period of the Federation's initial establishment.
The energy crystals in the mutant beast's body were later confirmed to be manic aura with dark attributes, and the red stone in the golden chicken's brain could be the magic core?
Liu Ci didn't care about feeding the puppy, and studied it carefully for a long time, but he didn't understand the use of this thing. Come to think of it, she is just an ordinary person who doesn't know magic and has no abilities, even if the magic core is used, she can't absorb the energy in it, it's a pity. Knowing her thoughts, the red stone clinged to her palm, startling Liu Ci as if it was about to sink into the flesh.
Liu Ci shook off her impotence, and felt a stream of hot air gushing out of the red stone, running all the way down her arm until it was thrown into the lotus pond in the center of her eyebrows.
The water of the white jade pond surged, and the hot air rushed towards the roots of the lotus leaves in the pool, turning into nutrients for its growth.
In just a moment, the energy contained in the red stone the size of a fingernail was absorbed, and the red stone turned into dust and fell down. In the white jade pool, the pointed lotus leaves exposed to the water trembled, and it seemed that they had not eaten enough.
Liu Ci was sure that at that moment she felt Lotus Ye's dissatisfaction.
Does this thing have a mind of its own?!
There was a thoughtful "lotus" living in his head, and Liu Ci felt a little frightened after realizing it.
She has "flipped" through ancient books in the white jade pond space, and has also led the pool water out of the space to drink, but she has never studied the lotus that has only a leaf in the center of the white jade pond water and has not yet been unfolded.
Liu Ci's ghost made the gods can't help but "touch" the lotus leaf in the center of the spring pool, and at the moment when she collided with the divine consciousness she didn't understand, a huge amount of information poured into her brain.
Fireworks burst into the sky and the night sky is decorated with colourful colours...... Liu Ci had already fainted.
In the silent snowy night of the other world, a female voice slowly told the ancient legend of the human race practicing qi into the body at the beginning of the flood and famine. Those unknown and obscure mantras were engraved into the depths of Liu Ci's consciousness, and they would all be awakened when there was only one appropriate opportunity.
In his sleep, Liu Ci unlocked a secret about the lotus pond.
- "There are caves and blessed lands in the world, and there are spiritual springs and divine waters, and the monks chase them together." There is a spring named Chaos in Shenzhou, which was born at the beginning of heaven and earth, and the spring water can make the monks reborn and blessed. There is a lotus in the spring, which is a holy product of enlightenment, and it is a demon and an immortal who is destined to be between the thoughts. ”
