Chapter 381: Wild Spikes Burn Endlessly

Su Qingqing wanted to walk with Huo Chi on the streets of Millen, and Xiao Jian also came to join in the fun. There was no way, so the three of them could only go out together.

Walking on the gravel path, Huo Chi looked at the stone buildings on both sides. The houses used here are made of yellow and reddish stones, so most of the buildings are faintly red, which is very beautiful.

The terrain of the small town of Mürren is undulating, and walking on the trail will go uphill and downhill, but it is also very interesting.

The population of the town is small, so there are not many stalls in the market selling groceries. After Huo Chi purchased a little cooking materials, he felt that this place was boring.

"It seems to be a wheat field over there, let's go and have a look?" Su Qingqing also felt that there was nothing to visit here, so he proposed to see the wheat field.

Winters in Mirren were very cold, and the rice harvest was not good, so farmers in Mirren planted a lot of wheat on the warmer South Hillside Road.

It's not yet the wheat season, but the green wheat dancing in the wind on the slopes of the wheat fields is poetic and attractive.

So, the three of them walked towards Mirren's hill. In the distance, Huo Chi saw the figure of a farmer busy in the wheat field.

No wonder you rarely see pedestrians on the streets, and it turns out that many of the Millen people work in the wheat fields.

Walking up the hillside, Huo Chi even smelled the grassy aroma of green wheat in the air, and the breeze blew, which made this smell even stronger.

"It's so beautiful, I haven't seen farmland like this since I left Huck. Su Qingqing stood at the edge of the field, stretched out her arms, and felt the fresh air blowing over the field.

"Hmm. Huo Chi took a deep breath, the wheat field always gives people an inexplicable sense of security, standing here, there is an illusion of returning to the original world.

"I don't know if there is enough wheat for the people of Mirren. Huo Chi felt that the wheat field looked very large, but suddenly felt that the rise of wheat seedlings was not very good.

"I've heard that it's barely self-sufficient. Xiao Jian looked at a farmer not far away who was walking towards the edge of the field with a large handful of wheat, and said with some confusion: "It's strange, why have all those wheat ears already produced ears?"

"Really, the other wheats have not yet grown tall, and the ones in his hands have already turned yellow and knotted ears. Su Qingqing asked curiously, "Huo Chi, look, is that a new early-maturing variety?"

Huo Chi also felt very strange, after all, the green wheat seedlings in the field looked far from ripe, and the wheat that the farmer had brought out was already golden and full.

However, the system has already thoughtfully identified the name of the "wheat": wild ears.

It wasn't wheat at all, it looked almost exactly like wheat, but it was a monster called Noho.

Huo Chi hurriedly clicked on the flickering monster eating guide:

【Noho】

Plant-based monsters have no ability to attack, but they grow quickly and absorb a large amount of nutrients and water from the land, which will put pressure on the survival of other ordinary plants. The shell of the seeds is extremely hard and fire-resistant.

Edible part: Mature seeds.

Contraindications: Eating hard arils can cause severe nausea and should be removed completely.

How to eat: The seeds after the wild spike falls need to be buried in the soil for several days or soaked in sugar water and boiled and dried, and the aril can fall off before it can fall off, and a small amount of seeds inside can be eaten. Note: Sugar water spoiled after use and is not edible.

Insider tip: Seeds can be stored for a long time after drying.

After reading the monster consumption guide, Huo Chi breathed a sigh of relief, this is not an offensive monster. However, this kind of monster is no worse than the kind of active attack on humans.

The Monster Eating Guide states that wild spikes grow quickly and can put pressure on other plants to survive. For the wheat here, with the wild ears, the wheat cannot grow properly, so it is no wonder that the wheat looks all malnourished, all squeezed by the wild ears.

The farmer threw the big handful of wild ears on the edge of the field, turned around and was about to enter the field again, Xiao Jian hurriedly called out to him: "Why are these wheat ripening so quickly?"

The farmer glanced at the short Xiao Jian, and said with a little anger: "These are not wheat at all, they are all hateful monsters, with them, my wheat will not grow well." ”

"It's actually a monster?!" Xiao Jian picked up one and looked at it carefully, but felt that this kind of monster was no different from wheat: "This is really a monster?"

"Is that not it?" The farmer also grabbed one, put the ear of wheat in his palm and rubbed it back and forth, and the golden skin peeled off, revealing the black-brown seeds inside: "Look, where is this wheat?"

Xiao Jian took the black seed and looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's really not, it's rounder than wheat, and it's so hard." ”

"These things are abominable, and it's hard for fire to burn them. It would take a whole day of fire to kill them completely.

And it's growing very fast! It grows three or four times in a crop of wheat. Grow so fast that the seeds are not yet edible. The farmer shook his head and went back into the wheat field and went on to harvest the ears.

Huo Chi frowned slightly, the seeds are edible, but the arils are inedible. If you want to remove the aril, you either have to bury it in the soil for many days and wait for the aril to fall off naturally, but then you can't ask for the seeds.

Another way is to soak it in sugar water and boil it to dry, but this method is also very unrealistic for people in this world.

Huo Chi had long discovered that sugar was very expensive in this world, and the price far exceeded that of ordinary food, and it was reluctant to use sugar water to exchange for monster seeds to eat, even if people knew the method.

Thinking of this, the corners of Huo Chi's mouth turned up slightly, this matter is not a problem for him at all.

The system gives as much sugar as you want. So, he's going to collect some wild spikes. It's still early, and I can still eat a meal after processing, but I don't know how it tastes.

"Hey—can you give me some of these monsters?" Huo Chi asked at the top of his voice.

"Take it all!" said the farmer without raising his head, "and I would like to thank you if you can help me with it." ”

Huo Chi nodded, these monsters are similar to the invasive species of the Celestial Empire, and they cause too much harm to the local creatures, and the farmers hate them to the core.

"Huo Chi, what do you want these things for?" Xiao Jian felt very strange: "Can this thing be eaten?"

Huo Chi didn't answer, just nodded, took out a dagger and began to cut the seed ears of the wild spikes.

Seeing this, Xiao Jian looked at the black-brown seed in his hand, wiped it and put it in his mouth, chewed it and then spit it all out: "Bah!

"Who let you eat like this, wait until I go back and deal with it, come and help me cut it!" Huo Chi couldn't help but laugh and asked Xiao Jian to help.

So, Xiao Jian and Su Qingqing worked with Huo Chi to collect a lot of wild ears.
