Chapter 58: The First Harvest
The remnant sun is as bright as blood
The grasslands are vast and boundless
The green mountains are like clouds
The river meanders
A small group was encamping at the foot of a leeward slope, tent after tent turning. The two-horned sheep were also tied to the stakes, resting quietly, and after a long day's walk, and carrying a large amount of supplies, they were now very tired.
In the evening, after dinner, by the campfire
"White Fang, how about it? How long will it take to mark the topography of the place you walked through today, as well as the plants and animals on the map?" Su Ming said to the white fang, who was still drawing on the animal skin map, "After the drawing, let's go and investigate the flora and fauna in this area together." ”
Looking at Su Ming, Bai Fang was also very helpless, yesterday it was Hei Er who went, and today it was his turn. It's not that others can't follow, but among this group of clansmen who followed, only he and Hei Er had enough spiritual power to meet the time requirements for going to the field with Su Ming for a long time at night.
"Well, I'll have to wait a minute, I still need about half an hour to finish the annotation. White Fang didn't raise his head, and continued to mark seriously.
After waiting for more than half an hour, White Fang finally finished today's work. But it's time to continue the nightly expedition.
Walking out of the camp, Su Ming and White Fang used their spiritual power, and in their eyes, the originally dark and terrifying wilderness was immediately like coming to daylight.
But under the blessed eyes of spiritual power, this world has also become a world of only white and black, looking at the scene in the wild, it is like looking at black and white photos from the Republic of China period.
It had been a long time since nightfall, and from time to time there were bursts of beast roars from the plains, either high-pitched or desolate, and even the sounds of their fighting could be heard.
It was the active period of the savage beasts hunting at night, and standing on the high place, Su Ming and White Fang could still vaguely see the huge figure that was moving rapidly in the distance.
But fortunately, Su Ming's investigation area was far away from their activity area, which avoided unnecessary conflicts between the two sides.
It's no longer like Su Ming, when they just came out, when they went to investigate at night, they always had encounters with the reckless giant beasts.
It's good that both sides maintain restraint, if the reckless giant beast wants to change its taste and want to try something new, then the battle is inevitable.
What's even more helpless is that after Su Ming killed the barbarian beasts, they might not have waited for them to enjoy the spoils, and the other barbarian beasts would run over to snatch them after smelling blood.
One after another, or batch after batch, the more you kill, the more you come, and you can't kill, and in the end Su Ming can only leave in embarrassment and make a wedding dress for others.
These are the valuable lessons they have accumulated during this period of time, in countless conflicts, how to effectively avoid the nocturnal activities of wild beasts at night.
Su Ming is constantly looking for and identifying the surrounding plants and minerals, hoping to find something useful for the development of the tribe, and if he can find some exotic plants, it will be even better.
"Su Ming, look there, those trees, just below that hillside!" White Fang suddenly shouted at Su Ming with excitement, and the voice that suddenly appeared was heard far away in this quiet grove.
Su Ming heard the sound of White Fang, turned his head, and followed the point of his finger to look towards the area. However, he didn't see anything strange, and the whole world was still black and white.
"Don't use spiritual blessings, just look at them in your usual way. Seeing that Su Ming was still observing carefully, Bai Fang obviously didn't see the magic there, and knew that he had been using spiritual power to bless, so he opened his mouth to remind.
White Fang had been running his spiritual power for a long time, so after handing over the collected plants to Su Ming, he stopped and rested.
But he knew that in this dark night, he had found a strange plant with ordinary eyes, and there were quite a few of them.
After Su Ming heard Bai Fang's reminder, he immediately dispersed the spiritual power that blessed his eyes. After a brief adaptation to the darkness of the night, at the foot of the hillside in the distance, I saw the strange sight of the discovery of White Fang.
It was an area of about 1,000 square meters, with a huge tree growing on it, and a small sapling around it. All of them glowed with a soft orange glow, illuminating the area.
That's a strange plant!
Su Ming's heart also beat faster, they had been out for more than a month, and they had carefully investigated all the plants along the way, but it was only now, tonight, that they found the first strange plant.
Needless to say, Su Ming and White Fang glanced at each other, and rushed directly towards that area, Su Ming wanted to run to taste it now, so as to know the specific situation and medicinal value of that plant.
Ten minutes later, Su Ming and the others came to the periphery of this area, used their spiritual power to bless their eyes, and took a closer look at this place, and found no dangerous animals.
Su Ming suddenly felt a little disappointed, there was no reckless giant beast to protect it, which meant that this plant was either highly poisonous, or it just didn't have any magical effect.
But Su Ming is also very happy to find it, at least it can be transplanted into the tribe, it can be used as a street lamp, and it is also a natural and pollution-free clean energy.
Su Ming collects leaves and sap in the woods, while White Fang searches for animals to use for experiments.
With White Fang's current strength and rich hunting experience, as long as that little beast is discovered by him, the result is that it will face ambushes on all sides, and it can still escape, which can only be regarded as its luck is really against the destiny of heaven.
Sure enough, White Fang came back after a while, and came back with two small beasts that looked a little like rabbits but had no ears, and were full of fangs.
There was no nonsense, Su Ming grabbed a small beast and poured the leaves and sap of the plant he had just collected directly into its stomach. Then there was another one.
Once you've done these things, all that's left is a long waiting time......
Two hours later, seeing the two small beasts that were still alive, Su Ming was sure that this was not a highly poisonous plant.
Now it was possible to carry out the test, but for his own safety, Su Ming only took a little leaf and put it in his mouth.
The system arrived as promised
"Ding, a strange plant detected, is included in the plant encyclopedia, unnamed, function: absorbs all kinds of energy, converts it into magical light, can ignore the interference of darkness, smoke, fog, special energy, etc., where the light is located, it is delicate. ”
"Well, it's really only used as a street lamp. Su Ming couldn't help but say with some disappointment after understanding the function of this plant.
After listening to Su Ming's introduction to the function of this plant, he was also a little disappointed, and there was a huge gap between his heart and the excitement when he first discovered it.
Suddenly they had no desire to continue exploring, so they memorized the location of this place and prepared to come back here to dig up some and plant them when the party returned.
Regardless, it's also a strange plant, and at least it can turn the Fire Tribe's station into a real city that never sleeps, and it can be of some use.
"The Street Light Tree, System, named this newly discovered exotic plant the Street Light Tree. Su Ming named it directly according to its main lighting function.
Back at the camp, White Fang told the people who stayed behind about tonight's discovery, and they hadn't experienced that huge gap in their hearts.
Everyone's face was full of excitement about the discovery of the first strange plant, and they were even more curious about the light that the plant could emit light.
As the night wore on, the noise was gradually blown away by the night wind, and the camp fell silent again, except for the sizzle of burning wood and the slight movement of the night watchman.
