Chapter 10: The Secret of Thornberry Wine

"Fortunately. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"I didn't mean to hide my true identity, I hope you understand. Hu Guangyu explained.

Fan Sheng stretched out his hand to hold it, Hu Guangyu's identity as the son of one of the four thrones really surprised him, but it stopped there.

"Understood, then, let's move on. He tilted his head and continued.

Hu Guangyu held the left hand, which was as stable as ever, and marveled at the fact that mortals were not shocked, and the son of the Void Throne, one of the four thrones, represented the real upper level of the wasteland. Knowing his identity, even the leader of a medium-sized scavenger group would brag about it. Even if he doesn't brag about it, he will be cautious in his words and deeds, and try his best to make a good impression in his heart. And this white-haired guy didn't say anything, and his demeanor barely changed. Xi Xuan on the side was stunned, after all, she was born in the core of the Four Thrones, and she had a full understanding of what the title of Son of the Four Thrones represented.

When traveling, especially if there are only three of them, the highest core grade is the [hunting] grade, and for safety, the confidentiality of identity is necessary. For a mistake like Zuo Chengwen's, strictly speaking, there will be extremely strict punishments. However, when Hu Guangyu saw Zuo Chengwen's uneasy face, and his little eyes lost their usual demeanor, he couldn't help but think of the same anxiety when he saw this small-eyed fat man for the first time more than ten years ago, how could he bear it.

The next is not an example. Hu Guangyu said in a low voice, the strength of the three of them is higher than the two in the team, the two mortal beings with high combat power have not recovered now, and the three of them are in good condition, even if the two of them accidentally attack, they can also take it. And after leaving the Giant Tree Canyon, they will go their separate ways, so there will be no danger in theory, so Hu Guangyu chose to expose it.

"As you know, the acanthus is poisonous, and not only can it not be eaten directly, but it cannot be directly touched by human hands, because the toxins in the skin of the acanthocarp can penetrate the skin. "He wrapped his hand in the leaves of the thorns he had removed, and took off the thorns from the tree.

"The acanthic fruit like this is not yet ripe, the skin is light brown, and the toxicity at this time is also the strongest, according to my observation, it is estimated that it will take three months for this batch of acanthocarp to ripen, and then the acanthocarp will be the initial raw material that can really be used to make acanthocarp wine. ”

Xi Xuan heard it at first glance, her pretty face changed instantly, she couldn't afford to wait so long, her eyebrows, which were slightly thicker than ordinary girls, gathered together again, she looked at Fan Sheng in a daze, and didn't speak. Because she knew that there should be a follow-up in the words of the white hair, and that a scavenger as shrewd as a mortal would not do useless work, and would not take them to the place where the thornberry tree grew for no reason, and then said that it would take three months before the batch of thornberry could actually be used.

Sure enough, mortal continued: "The wasteland is magical, every species has its own laws of reproduction, and the spiny fruit is so poisonous when it is not ripe that no worm will fall on the fruit. However, when the acanthus is ripe, the toxicity decreases. Therefore, during the ripening of the thorn fruit, there will be a kind of mongoose unique to the giant tree canyon, guarding the side of the thorn tree, and all these thorn fruits are stored in a special way, and the thorn fruit we are looking for is in this kind of thorn fruit.

Meerkats generally live near the spiny fruit tree, one of their favorite foods, and after picking the spiny fruit, they take it to the burrow, where they swallow it in their stomach and then spit it out, so that the processed spiny fruit can be stored long enough for the mongoose to eat for the following year. ”

Zuo Chengwen's eyes lit up, "Is this the truth about the detoxification of the thorn fruit?"

"That's just the first step. There are three steps to making a detoxified acanthus. I'll tell you both about the remaining two steps, after you've paid what I'm paying, of course. So I hope you can pay off my share in one go."

Hu Guangyu's eyes wrinkled slightly, obviously what Fan Sheng meant surprised him a little. But if you think about it carefully, mortal is really a wise scavenger, if he chooses to share with the two behemoths of the Void Deep Rope and the Black Thorn, his final result will definitely be slowly eaten to the point that there is nothing left, and the result of cooperation without strength is only the inferior side being eaten. The one-time reward may be much less, but it is absolutely safe, and the people of the two thrones will not break the contract, after all, reputation is the first priority.

"A wise choice, I agree to this contract on behalf of the Void Deep. Hu Guangyu thought for a moment and said.

Xi Xuan also thought about it for a while, knowing that the wisdom of Fansheng's decision was more beneficial to her, and nodded in agreement.

The contract was established, and the face of the mortal was also relieved, and he knew that it was the right choice to strive for a one-time income. Doing what he can has always been the standard of his actions, so he has lived until now. Originally, the wine was just a fine wine, and it was a completely unexpected surprise that it was able to break through the inner barrier.

He was a standard man from the wasteland, and the earliest memory he could remember was hunger, and then wandering through the wasteland until he met the woman, the woman who was also a sister and a friend. It was also under the influence of this woman that he established his two dreams, yes, you read that right, the dreams of the scavengers, and more than one.

One dream is to taste all the food of the wasteland, and the other is to become a powerhouse of the wasteland.

Acanthus, after he arrived in this area, heard that this poisonous fruit tastes delicious. After tasting a small amount, he found that it tasted good, but unfortunately it was too toxic, and he had given up on including this spiny fruit in his beautiful recipe, and it was at this time that he discovered that the native mongoose collected this spiny fruit and extended the shelf life of the fruit by swallowing it and coating it with saliva.

He followed the mongoose to their habitat and found the fruit they had stored, and when he tasted it again, he found that the acanthus that had been swallowed by the mongoose had become less toxic. This discovery surprised Fan Sheng and gave him a new idea. Since the swallowing of the mongoose can weaken the toxicity of the acanthus, what about other creatures?

With this mentality, he took this processed spiny fruit to find a creature with a wide range of recipes and extremely resistant poison in the wasteland, the desolate elephant. This kind of creature that the wilderness people love to breed the most, has great strength, produces a lot of meat, eats everything, and does not consume energy crystals, and is known for its rough skin and thick meat.

The experiment was successful, and after the spiny fruit that had been swallowed by the mongoose was swallowed by the wild elephant, it was vomited, and the toxicity was reduced again, but it was still slightly toxic. In addition, a new problem also appeared, the acanthic fruit lost its original taste, and at that time, mortal was still lamenting, could it really not be included in his recipe!

He was a little annoyed, and went to the maple leaf bar closest to the Giant Tree Canyon, and when he drank the contents of the cup, Fan Sheng suddenly realized that although the processed thorn fruit had lost its value for direct consumption, it was a new way of thinking to make thorn fruit wine. He immediately made the wine of the thorn fruit, and the result was very good, the taste of the wine was very good, and the wine also had the effect of restoring physical strength quickly. At this time, the only drawback is the little bit of toxicity that still exists.

But fortunately, mortal beings quickly found a solution, that is, the third step in the production of special detoxified thorn fruit, which will make people suddenly enlightened. Because the growth environment of the acanthocarpus is shade-loving and moisture-loving, it only needs to be exposed to the sun for a period of time to effectively remove the last bit of toxicity.

Mongoose swallowing, wild elephants, and sun exposure are the three steps in the production of detoxified acanthus.

Fan Sheng spent a few days with Hu Guangyu, Xi Xuan and the other four people to find all the caves where the thorn fruit trees and mongooses lived in the giant tree canyon, and pointed out the ripening time of the thorn fruits, the habits of the mongooses, and how to safely remove the spiny fruits stored by the mongooses from the mongoose caves, etc., which made the four of them sigh at how much thought Fan Sheng had spent on this.

Just after the first step of removing the poison thorn fruit was all handed over, Hu Guangyu asked, "When will you tell us the remaining two steps?"

The question is very straightforward, and it is timely.

Mortal beings had already expected this, so they waited for others to ask.

"I still have a batch of newly made detoxified thorn fruit in my locomotive, you can bring it back first, find someone to test the effect, and in two months, we will meet again." If it really works, we will facilitate cooperation, if it doesn't work, Tai Yin drinking thorn fruit wine to break the core barrier is only a special case, then, the transaction will be canceled. ”

As soon as Fan Sheng finished speaking, Hu Guangyu had a little more appreciation for Fan Sheng, a waste picker, and his actions were watertight and clear, but he was not too worried that the thorn fruit wine would only work for a few people, because all the items that have been found to break the core barrier are suitable for everyone, and I believe that the thorn fruit wine is no exception.

"Say what you want. ”

"I hope that the Void Deep Cord and the Black Thorn will provide me with help three times each, and they will help me when I am promoted in the core level or when the inner nuclear weapon needs to be updated. Fan Sheng pondered for a moment and said.

The core ability of the wasteland, compared with the core of the four thrones of the same level, is inferior to both the inner nuclear weapon and the amount of Qi in the body, which also leads to the fact that the core of the four thrones is generally stronger than the wasteland core of the wild road. And the reason for this is probably because the Four Thrones support a large number of pharmacists and mechanics, who have a large number of opportunities to make potions and internal nuclear weapons, coupled with a long period of accumulation, they have a rich heritage, which is also lacking in mortal beings.

"It's not too much, it's reasonable, and it happens to be what you lack the most, you really don't look like an ordinary scavenger, I want to recruit you under my command, I don't know if you would like to. Hu Guangyu threw out an olive branch again.

Hu Guangyu's tone was very casual, but mortal Sheng heard the sincerity, but he still politely declined, although he would enjoy better resources if he joined Hu Guangyu's command. "The wasteland is where I belong. Whitehair said.

Xi Xuan on the other side also agreed, and mortal Sheng's request was completely within the scope of what she could bear.

The thorn fruit wine incident finally came to an end, and Hu Guangyu and the three of them left with the stunned young core man after negotiating, and just as Fan Sheng was about to leave, Xi Xuan stood in front of him.
