Suddenly seeing this familiar figure, Shao Xuan still couldn't believe it, stared at it carefully for a while, and made sure that he was not mistaken, so he hurriedly came down from the hill and walked towards that direction.

He didn't pay attention to it when he walked around the forest before, and even walked back and forth a few times, but he didn't pay attention to the figure that looked similar to the Chinese cabbage, because it was so big!

There are all kinds of strange plants in the mountains and forests, and Shao Xuan doesn't know how many kinds of plants with similar leaves he has seen, so he didn't pay much attention to them when he walked by there. But when standing on the hill, looking down from above, and seeing the whole figure clearly, the shock in Shao Xuan's heart could not be calmed.

There are a lot of similarities in the leaves, but its whole appearance is too similar to Chinese cabbage. It's just that this cabbage is taller than Shao Xuan himself!

Coming to this plant that looked very similar to Chinese cabbage, Shao Xuan took a closer look.

There was a tiny clattering sound in my ears.

Turning his head to look over, Shao Xuan saw that on a wide leaf outside the vegetable, an arm-thick insect was lying on it, gnawing a hole in the vegetable leaf. Probably sensing Shao Xuan's arrival, the unfamiliar aura gave it a sense of crisis, it stopped gnawing leaves, and the front half of its entire body was raised, towards Shao Xuan.

If Shao Xuan hadn't been prepared and knew that this was just a worm gnawing on vegetable leaves, if he suddenly saw such a scene, he might mistakenly think that there was a snake here.

The color spots and patterns on the front end of the insect really look like a green poisonous snake in the mountain forest, and the lines down to the scales are very clear, especially the two lines that look very much like "eyes".

It's also a life-saving tool for bugs.

But similar bugs. Shao Xuan saw a lot, he was not frightened by it, and stood by with great interest and observed for a while.

Perhaps thinking that Shao Xuan was no longer in danger, the insect fell back and continued to eat around the hole in the leaf.

Some insects in the mountains and forests will take years or even longer to turn into butterflies or moths. This bug is probably not far from change.

Shao Xuan took his eyes off the insect and continued to look at the cabbage in front of him.

Raised his hand and cut off a piece of the leaf with a dagger, and smelled it, there was no strange smell, but Shao Xuan didn't eat it. What the worm can eat, he may not be able to eat. He walked up to the flying squirrel hanging from the tree with the vegetable leaves, but unfortunately, the flying squirrel had no interest in the vegetable leaves at all. Only when he was provoked, he bit a piece down, did not eat it, and vomited.

After trying a few times, Shao Xuan watched the flying squirrel mouth on the vegetable leaves as if venting his anger, but there was nothing abnormal, Shao Xuan was slightly happy.

No more tossing that flying squirrel.

Walked around the surrounding woods, near the hole in the ground. Because of the celestial veins, other plants do not grow well. Shao Xuan didn't see a plant that looked like Chinese cabbage, so he had to look for it even further. Like the one he just found, it was found a little far from the hole. Being able to squeeze out a piece of space in the forest to grow, this dish is strong enough.

I didn't pay attention to it before, because Shao Xuan didn't pay attention to this kind of plant at a higher level, and now he is looking for it by following the appearance of the leaves. It didn't take long to find about thirty of them, and this was just the nearby piece, and it was just an individual as big as this one.

There were many more small plants on the ground that had not grown, some of which had been clearly trampled on by forest animals, and some of which had been bitten. Leaves are mutilated. There are too many small seedlings like this, Shao Xuan didn't count them, if they were allowed to continue, they would not survive, they would either be eaten and trampled to death by the animals in the forest, or they would be starved to death by other plants.

After reading it, Shao Xuan returned to the cave, last night in order to stare at the flying squirrel and see the effect of the heavenly vein, he didn't sleep all night, and now he has been running around since early in the morning, and he is a little tired, so he just sits on the grass to rest. I ate the little meat left over from yesterday to stop my hunger.

Shao Xuan pondered the origin of those "cabbages". Do they really grow here naturally?

There are also people who grow vegetables here, and the leaves are also sixty percent similar to Chinese cabbage, but the leaves are much narrower and longer, and the kind of vegetables commonly planted here have hypertrophied rhizomes, and the tribesmen mainly eat its rhizomes, and the leaves are just incidental. The vegetables in the farmland that you usually see here are also large, but most of them are only Shao Xuan's waist high, and if they are too small, the people of the tribe will not be willing to plant them. Compared to the "Chinese cabbage" here, it is not enough to see.

Mutated?

Shao Xuan suddenly thought of the vegetables grown on the other side of the sea.

There are also crops similar to Chinese cabbage over there, and Shao Xuan has seen them in the grange of Jiju. It's just that although the leaves of the vegetables over there are wide, they are too scattered and very short, and they only reach Shao Xuan's knees. Many tribes on the other side of the sea do not grow that, because they feel that the yield is too low and they are not hungry. But the slave owners liked it.

Only the slave owners who liked these in the royal city would set aside a large amount of land in their granges to grow in order to eat this dish. So, on the other side of the sea, that kind of vegetable seed was only in the hands of the slave owners.

The surrounding "Chinese cabbage" is not like the type often planted by the tribesmen here, and it is also different from the one planted in the fields of the slave owners over there, of course, there are many similar places, but so far, I have walked so many places, even Shao Xuan has broken through the mountains and forests, but I have never seen such a "Chinese cabbage" anywhere.

After thinking for a while, Shao Xuan's eyes widened suddenly. He thought of a possibility.

This used to be the place of some unknown small tribe, they would also plant, the surrounding terrain is relatively flat, and the vegetables often grown by the terrestrial tribes here may have also been grown, so even if that small tribe migrates, there will be some vegetables left here.

What if the seeds sown here by the people of the Ji family are not only the heavenly veins, but also the seeds of some kind of vegetables?

What if the three millet family members in the cave sprinkled a handful of rapeseed around here before they died?

Will two similar but different dishes grown here produce a child with the strengths of both?

Maybe Shao Xuan thinks too much about himself, but what if it's true?

If this is the case, Shao Xuan can only say, providence!!

If it is artificially cultivated, if you want to get a satisfactory dish, you don't know how long it will take to go through screening, even those vegetables grown by many tribes today are left behind by generations of selection.

Here, different varieties of vegetables from two continents are grown together, and the offspring that melt the characteristics of both sides are obtained, and then after a long period of natural combination and selection, there will be the most adaptable and genetically stable offspring that combines the advantages of the two - "Chinese cabbage".

Today's "Chinese cabbage" is not only big, but also ball-bearing.

Unlike the leaves of many vegetables on the other side of the sea, these "Chinese cabbages" here, except for the large leaves on the periphery, tend to wrap the inside and form an oval-shaped ball.

Whether it is the result of hybridization, or the mutation of the vegetables planted here, in short, just looking at the form, Shao Xuan is very satisfied.

Now the question is, can it be eaten at all?

Anyway, let's cut one off and go back.

Shao Xuan chose the one he saw first, and swung his sword to chop down the big vegetable ball in the middle. The leaves that spread out on the outside looked too old to carry, so I only cut the vegetable balls wrapped in an oval shape.

The cabbage ball, which is taller than himself, is a little heavy, which also makes Shao Xuan more satisfied. Heavier ones prove that there are more leaves that form a cabbage ball, unlike other leaves that spread out. If you can eat it, you will grow it and produce more yields.

Carrying the vegetable ball on his shoulder, Shao Xuan came to the cave in the ground, thought of something, and looked back at the flying squirrel that was hanging from the tree.

There was only one piece of grass rope left that had been bitten off, which should have run while he was looking for "Chinese cabbage". Being able to bite off the rope, the tooth strength is not small, and the struggle consumes a lot of physical strength, and it seems that the flying squirrel's injury has almost recovered.

There were no signs of gnawing on the surrounding veins, proving that the flying squirrel had not discovered the veins growing here. The uncut veins are similar to ordinary tree roots, and they are indeed difficult to notice.

Thief Eleven and Thief Twelve have been stealing for so many years and stealing so many treasures, but they never thought that there were extremely precious things growing here. Perhaps, they didn't even think about plants. After all, who would "throw" a "treasure" on the ground at will?

After dealing with the traces around him, the heavenly veins were wrapped and placed in the animal skin bag, Shao Xuan pulled some big leaves and straw ropes, wrapped the chopped vegetable balls and tied them, and then left.

Here, Shao Xuan doesn't plan to make a big move for the time being, now he only has one person, and it is impossible to get everything here, especially the largest celestial vein, which needs to be excavated and protected more carefully, and he also wants to try to transplant this celestial vein back to the tribe, and he needs more manpower to help.

There are also other heavenly veins here, as well as the "Chinese cabbage" growing everywhere, all of which are treasures, and Shao Xuan plans to dig them all up after returning to the tribe to call people.

After everything was taken care of, Shao Xuan left with the big vegetable ball.

The thieves chased them out and didn't come back all night, and the tribe patrolled the edges, keeping an eye out for movement in the distance.

When they saw Shao Xuan's figure, the patrolling people hadn't recognized it yet, it was too far away to see clearly, and Shao Xuan was still carrying a big vegetable ball, which looked very weird. When they got closer, they saw that it was Shao Xuan who came back, and the patrolling people happily went over to greet them.

They didn't know what Shao Xuan was carrying, but seeing that the Great Elder personally carried it back, it was definitely not an ordinary thing.

Not only the patrolling soldiers, but the others were inevitably curious when they saw Shao Xuan coming back with an unknown object. It's so big that it's hard to ignore.

Shao Xuan didn't explain much to them, just rushed into the mountains and forests with the vegetable ball on his shoulder, and walked towards the tribe, his footsteps were in a hurry, and the people disappeared in a flash. (To be continued.) )
