Chapter 692: Firebird Eyes
In such a cold winter, when the body is completely submerged in warm water, the feeling of pleasure is really indescribable.
"Hoo ......"
Ye Xi sighed comfortably.
The frost on the leather armor and the skin suddenly dissipated without a trace after touching the water, and the body changed from cold to warm, and even the nails seemed to be warm.
Ye Xi also sank his head into the spring water, and the hoarfrost on his hair was also watered.
The weather was cold, and when Ye Xi's head emerged from the spring water, his wet hair quickly froze again, this time because it was wet hair, so his hair was stiff, and the shape was peculiar like a frozen wet linen.
Ye Xi thought it was fun and played it twice.
During this period, the spring grass, the crescent spring, and all kinds of big frogs and small frogs squatting under the forest, tree frogs, bull frogs, and all the frogmen of all kinds of strange and ugly beauty stared at Ye Xi with two big eyes.
They looked at Ye Xi's appearance, as if they had seen some kind of rare animal in the zoo, and they couldn't take their eyes off it, and they didn't hide it.
If ordinary people were stared at with so many eyes, it would probably be uncomfortable.
But fortunately, Ye Xi was already accustomed to the attention of thousands of people as early as the Great Migration, and this level of gaze did not make him feel uncomfortable, so he only took care of the hot springs.
"You're having a pretty good time......
Ye Xi sighed.
Originally, before he arrived here, Ye Xi still had a faint idea of inviting the frogman clan to join Xicheng, but now this idea is completely gone. On such a fairy day in a fairy place, how could the frogman clan be willing to travel thousands of miles to Xicheng.
The cub snorted, "Of course!"
Ye Xi changed his comfortable posture and leaned against the rock wall, and found that the secret of the heat of this crescent spring was the pebble-shaped stone laid underneath.
This kind of stone is similar to flint and sun stone, which can constantly release heat, and under the influence of this crescent spring is laid with countless kinds of these stones, under the effect of which this bend is artificially excavated, and the water is drawn from the crescent bay of the ice-free lake to become a hot spring.
Seeing that Ye Xi had been looking at the stone at the bottom of the spring, he got into the water and picked up a piece from the bottom of the spring and threw it to him: "This stone is called a firebird's eye, give you insight!"
Ye Xi played with the somewhat hot firebird eyes in his hand.
This piece of firebird eye is amber, the size of a child's fist, and it is very smooth to the touch, because of its special texture, there is a narrow and bright reflection in the middle, similar to a vertical pupil. So it's not so much a "firebird's eye" as it is a "frog's eye".
However, for frogmen, the term frog eye stone may be more frightening, similar to people who don't like to name a gemstone after a human eye stone.
Ye Xi: "Where did you find so many firebird eyes?"
The cub's eyes widened vigilantly: "Why do you want to tell you." ”
Ye Xipi glanced at him with a smile.
The cub pouted, and said reluctantly: "Snatched from the claws of other fierce beasts, why are you so curious, do you want to annoy people?"
Ye Xi: "Robbed so much?"
The cub said confidently: "Yes, that's it, that's it!"
Ye Xi felt that it was more likely that the frogman clan had discovered a mine that produced firebird eyes, but he didn't say his guess, only smiled slightly, and said, "I want a piece of the best quality firebird eye." ”
Originally, he was not interested in this kind of hot stone, but he experienced the cold a few days ago, and now he really wants a piece.
Cub Nunu's mouth: "The one in your hand is good, let's give this one to you, it's quite hot to the touch, right?"
Ye Xi threw the firebird eye in his hand back to the bottom of the spring, sighed, climbed out of the crescent spring, and said, "That's it, no matter how hot the firebird eye is, there is no white flame heat that the cormorant spouts...... But when it comes out, it seems a little cold to come out of the water. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the cormorant washing its feathers in the frozen lake.
The cub was so anxious that he exploded: "Hey, hey, what do you want to do?!"
Without waiting for Ye Xi to answer, he grinded his teeth and said angrily: "Okay, put away your bad thoughts!" I'll give you a piece of the best quality firebird eye, put the firebird eye heart in the stone pile for a long time, and ordinary stones can become firebird eyes! Now I'm happy, right?"
Ye Xi was happy, and he felt funny watching the cub puffing out his cheeks.
"Hey, okay then. ”
The tone is reluctant.
The cub's face twitched, and he began to regret how he brought this guy back to the clan, wasn't it in a hurry to be slaughtered.
Ye Xi looked at the cub's painful appearance, and became more and more happy.
In fact, Ye Xi is the city lord of Xicheng, and the treasures he has may be more than the treasures of the entire frogman clan combined, although the firebird eyes are rare, they are nothing. It's just that being able to pull things out of the cub's hands still makes him feel extra good.
"Whoa, whoa!!"
In the ice-free lake nearby, cormorants flapped their wings and frantically washed their feathers.
It hadn't been able to wash its feathers completely for a long time, because the saliva of the big stone frog was really damn sticky! Sex! Ten feet! It was comparable to the mucus secreted by a fluorescent worm, and the cormorant had already been washed to the point of collapse.
Ye Xi felt its cracking mood, grabbed the cub's shoulder, and lifted him up from the hot spring like a catboy: "Now, go and wash the feathers of the cormorant, if you can't wash it, you know." ”
The cub was soaking in the hot spring, and Leng Buding was pulled out to blow the cold wind, he scratched his wet hair with a crazy face, thinking of the terrifying white flame of the cormorant, or swallowed his anger and said: "Got it!"
After taking a step, the cub turned back and yelled at him like a vent.
"Master!!"
Then he jumped into the frozen lake with heavy steps, and swam to the cormorant in the center of the lake in the standard breaststroke position.
The frogs, who had watched them the whole time, muttered again.
"Wow, why is this ugly giant so domineering?"
"Is this the point, the point is that the cub actually listens to him! Doesn't the cub only listen to the female frogman during the mating season, how can anyone usually let him do things?"
"Silly, that's not the point! The point is that the cub's father, that is, our patriarch, didn't get angry and didn't swallow this guy!"
"What is this ugly giant, it's so scary!"
Ye Xi turned around and smiled at them.
The noisy frogmen shrank their heads and fell silent.
Ye Xi walked to the lake.
The cubs in the unfrozen lake bounced their legs and were half-floating on the water. He got a few fruits out of nowhere, crumpled them, and carefully rubbed the feathers of the cormorants. This unknown fruit may contain a soap base that can be kneaded to produce a white foam like a soap bubble.
The cormorant was reluctant to let him wash it at first, but seeing that the mucus on his feathers had really been washed away, he now quietly stretched his huge wings and let him rub his feathers one by one.
"Ahh
Rubbing and rubbing, the cub suddenly sneezed loudly.
He rubbed his nose and shouted at the red-eyed frog closest to him, "Frozen to death, Uncle Bald Spot, give me a leaf!"
This freezing-free lake is home to aquatic plants with slender stems, fist-sized eosin buds half-floating on the other end, and round, dark green leaves that look like royal lotus, large enough to lie down on a person.
At this time, the nearest blade was only three or four meters away from the cub, and he could reach it if he swam a little. But he is so blind and shouting, living like a spoiled and fearless child.
"Quack!"
The oozing giant frog is also obedient.
The huge and terrifying body slowly emerged from the water, and the giant frog took the large blade, which was only three or four meters away from the cub, and put it next to the cub, and then sank again.
The cub jumped wet onto the big leaf and began to squat on the leaf to brush the cormorant's feathers.
Ye Xi on the shore of the lake jumped lightly, using a few large leaves like a king lotus as a springboard, jumped next to the cub, and then sat on one of the leaves, and began to supervise the work with a smile.
His arrival attracted the attention of the giant frog in the unfrozen lake, and a pair of huge and indifferent eyes like a blood moon looked at Ye Xi in unison. Because the water quality of the lake is clear, you can vaguely see a little iceberg-like body in the water if you look closely.
These giant frogs are so big that the size of the emperor crocodile is not as big as theirs.
This situation is actually a bit scary.
On a dimly lit snowy day, on the cold and dark surface of the lake, Ye Xi went deep into the mysterious frogman territory alone with only a war pet, sitting on a floating leaf in the center of the lake, surrounded by dense terrifying prehistoric giant frogs.
His body is not even as big as the eyes of a giant frog, and the size contrast is miserable, if the prehistoric giant frog is reduced to an ordinary frog, then Ye Xi is a small ladybug next to an ordinary frog. And although the unfrozen lake seems to be calm, it is actually bottomless, and there are so many giant frogs that emerge from the lake, and I don't know how many prehistoric giant frogs are hidden in the depths.
In fact, because of these unknown number of prehistoric giant frogs, all the surrounding tribes regard this place as a forbidden place, and even if the people of the water tribe are dying of thirst in the hot summer, they do not dare to come close to get water.
Ye Xi is also a master of art and bold, not only sat here without fear, but also hugged his arms and instructed the cubs: "Brush it clean, otherwise we will come back after we leave." ”
And the cub ......
Even if the cub returned to his own territory, he dared not speak out, and only rubbed the feathers of the cormorant vigorously.
After a long time, the pampered cub finally brushed all the feathers of the cormorant and washed his hands in the lake, and then collapsed on the large leaves with exhaustion.
Suddenly, a hard, cold, cold thing smashed into the cub's belly.
Thinking that Ye Xi had hit him with a stone, he sat up angrily, and was about to scold, but found that it was not a stone that hit him, but a delicate little golden thing, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.
"What is this, so pretty?!"
After seeing what it was, the cub suddenly lost any anger, and grabbed this little thing in the palm of his hand with a happy heart, and looked at it over and over again.
