Chapter 295: Vanilla Lichen
Huo Chi learned that the goats that had eaten the herb lichen were not poisonous, so he relieved himself to pick up the goat's hind legs and prepare to drag it down the mountain.
"Do you think you want to eat it?" asked the princess worriedly, "Shall we go mad after eating their flesh?"
"No, vanilla lichen is only toxic to creatures other than humans, so we'll be fine if we eat it. Huo Chi slung the goat over his shoulder, ready to cross the gap in the mountain with the others.
Huo Chi still had some worries about those vanilla lichens in his heart, but the road goats over there could walk, but people couldn't. After all, the road is too narrow, and if you accidentally fall down, you will regret it, and it seems that you can only give up.
When approaching the gap, the mountain wind became very strong, and Huo Chi carried the iron pot and the goat on his back, and felt that the resistance became very strong.
Su Qingqing saw that Huo Chi was a little struggling, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed Huo Chi: "Come on!"
"Hmm!" Huo Chi pushed forward, finally passing through the wall of wind formed by the strong wind.
Princess Afifa glanced back at her homeland behind her, I don't know when I will be able to set foot on the land of Berbizon again, but I will definitely come back!
After passing through the gap, the wind became noticeably lighter, and Huo Chi saw that there seemed to be plenty of time, so he said, "Everyone wait for me, I have to bleed it." β
Huo Chi took out the dagger and cut the carotid artery of the goat, the weather was cold, the snow had begun to solidify, Huo Chi reluctantly released the goat's blood, and then he was ready to continue down the mountain with everyone.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was a large patch of vanilla lichen on the hillside not far away! This was really a surprise, it turned out that there were very few such monsters at the southern foot of the mountain, but there were many in the north!
"Captain, I'm going to pick some vanilla lichen. Huo Chi put the goat on the ground and ran to the black pod.
"Isn't that poisonous?" Fu Ze was startled.
"It's not poisonous to people! It's good. Huo Chi took out a pocket and put the pods in it as best he could.
The pods were heavy, and soon filled his pockets, and Huo Chi didn't know when he would be able to go up the mountain, and he had the heart to take more, but he still had a goat to carry.
"Huo Chi, can you really eat those pods?" Su Qingqing was quite curious, but she also saw Huo Chi's troubles.
"Yes, absolutely. Huo Chi said.
"Then you pick more, and I'll help you carry the goats." Su Qingqing leaned down and tried to carry the goat like Huo Chi.
But she is a girl after all, and she has no systematic blessings, and the materials on her body are already very heavy, although she can barely carry the goat, she can hardly walk.
"Qingqing, give it to me. Qin Lang wanted to help, but Princess Afifa stepped forward and put the goat on him. She doesn't carry much weight, and she's a strength subhuman, and this goat is really nothing to her.
"Thank you. Su Qingqing expressed her gratitude, but the princess said, "You're welcome, you escorted me all the way to Reps, and I thank you that it's too late." β
Soon, Huo Chi picked up the small piece of vanilla lichen, tied the two pockets together, hit them on the shoulder, and walked back.
The group continued to walk down the mountain, and as the altitude decreased, the temperature gradually warmed up, and everyone took off the flame lizard skin wrapped around their bodies.
Walking on the Orion Trail, the surrounding grass is completely different from the woods at the southern foot of the mountain.
"Reps is beautiful, too. Huo Chi sighed: "There is so much grass here, why is there no one grazing?"
"Yes, animal husbandry is very profitable now, why do they put so much grass and don't use it?" Fu Ze also felt a little strange.
"I think it's probably because of that. Su Qingqing pointed with his hand, Huo Chi raised his eyes and saw that there was a large piece of vanilla lichen, he knew that there were so many things, why did he pick them so desperately just now?
"It's that kind of monster again!" Qin Lang said: "Goats go crazy when they eat them, and if they go crazy, they can only be killed, no wonder no one grazes them." β
"It is estimated that this monster is still very strong in reproduction, and it is difficult to remove it, which is really a waste of this fertile grass. Fu Ze shook his head.
The descent was smooth, and before noon, they came to the bottom of the mountain. Not far away, a small city is located on a grassland, and it looks really intimate.
"Matt Town is just ahead, let's go, Xiao Jian is waiting for us." Fu Ze quickened his pace.
When the Snow Leopards arrived outside the town of Matt, everyone breathed a sigh of relief that there was no sign of the White Eagle or the Round Ice Scout. It seems that they did not expect that the Snow Leopards would come here over the mountains.
"You can get through. "The city guards here were not at all as nervous as they were on the Berbyzan side, and they looked as usual and looked complacent.
Huo Chi thought the soldiers here looked interesting, their uniforms looked varied, similar to those worn by ordinary people.
The most military-like thing about them is the uniform hat on their heads, which is a red beret with feathers in it.
After waiting for the city gate, Huo Chi couldn't help but ask: "Did these military states only give them hats?"
"Haha, no, the Reps don't really have a standing army, it's just that adult men between the ages of 19 and 42 need to serve for a few weeks each year. β
"Then they're militiamen?" Huo Chi asked.
"It's a reserve force that can go to war at any time, much stronger than the militia, don't underestimate them, they have to take time out of their training every year. Qin Lang explained.
I see, the men of this country used to be soldiers. Huo Chi remembered a neutral country in the original world, and these two countries in different worlds were really inexplicably similar.
"Isn't that Xiao Jian?" Before the snow leopard team approached the expedition camp, they saw Xiao Jian standing alone at the gate of the camp, looking around.
"Xiao Jian!" Huo Chi shouted at Xiao Jian, and the short sapper saw Huo Chi and the others, and his face immediately turned into a smile.
"You're here, I'll be here in the morning. A person is waiting for you here, and his heart is always up and down, alas? You have also got a sheep! Great, you want to eat a good meal today, you don't know, yesterday was really miserable... β
Xiao Jian was as excited as if he had seen a relative, he helped the princess carry the goat into the house, and Huo Chi followed him in, only to find out why the economic strength of Reps was relatively strong.
The town of Matt is a small village, not much bigger than the eerie town of Moxu, but the expedition camp here can be called luxurious.
There are more than a dozen small villas with various roofs in the huge expedition camp, and each villa is very neat and tidy, and it looks like it is often maintained.
The small cottage where the Snow Leopards live is divided into two floors, with a large kitchen and living room on the first floor and five bedrooms on the second floor.
The dΓ©cor of the villa is clean and modern, and it is like being in the middle of it as if you have arrived at some villa resort.
