Early the next morning.

Everyone got up early.

The three warriors who were dragged to the spider's nest yesterday also woke up, although they were fine, but because they were injected with spider venom, and the venom had an anesthetic effect, they were sluggish the next day, and their hands and feet were sore.

Putai left the three incapacitated warriors to rest in the cave and led the team to their destination. Because of the special nature of this event, Ye Xi didn't bring Jiaojiao with him, and let it stay in the cave to protect the three warriors.

It had rained heavily last night, and the ground in the jungle was soft and slippery.

The hunting party traveled at a slower pace than usual.

Hulu said excitedly as he walked: "I heard that we are going to pick pine gum this time! ”

Today, the hunting party did not go to the Great Plains to hunt, but to another place, and before setting off, the captain Putai also asked them to bring each of them a large hyena skin, and then a bag of animal skins.

The mink asked suspiciously, "What is pine gum?"

"You don't know, pine gum is a good thing, it's very good for the body, if you eat more, it can make people healthy, not too sick, and most importantly, this is the favorite food of the beast - the one-horned scale horse!"

"Unicorn horses like to eat this pine gum, why haven't I heard of it?"

"Hehe, this secret was discovered by our Tu Shan, of course you wolf teeth don't know. ”

Mink thought, sure enough, each tribe has its own unique survival skills, and wolf fangs used to have them, but it's a pity that ......

"Why do you want to bring so many hides to pick pine gum?" and most of them are large hyena hides, which are thick and heavy, and are very inconvenient to carry.

"I've also heard from the former warriors that it's because the big pine tree will ......" Hulu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly stopped talking, baring his teeth and smiling, "Anyway, you'll know when the time comes." ”

Ye Xi shook his head, he was amused in his heart, Mink has always been taciturn and quite unsociable, and the outgoing Hulu has always been unaccustomed to Mink, so he deliberately didn't tell him.

Half an hour later, through the misty morning mist, a pine forest vaguely appeared in the distance.

Everyone slowed down, lowered their pace, as if they were afraid of alarming something, and walked slowly into this magnificent pine forest.

Ye Xi raised his head and looked at this pine forest in amazement.

Each pine tree here towers into the sky, looking more than a thousand years old, and its huge canopy spreads out, blocking out the sun.

A thin morning mist in the forest shrouded the pine forest like a light veil.

It rained yesterday, and the air in the woods was extremely fresh, mixed with the fragrance of pine leaves, which made people's lungs feel as if they had been washed, and they wanted to smell it forever.

The pine needles are still stained with crystal clear raindrops, and the morning light shines through the cracks in the trees, reflecting a dazzling light.

This pine forest is simply dreamlike.

On the branches of each big pine tree, there is something like peach gum, but it is more translucent and crystalline than peach gum, and it looks like exquisite amber.

Pu Tai suppressed his voice and said: "Everyone put on the animal skins, their hands and feet are lighter, and they have gone up to the trees to pick pine gum." ”

The veteran team members began to tell the new team members, telling them that this pine forest is alive and that they must be careful not to alarm them, especially when climbing trees.

The group rubbed their hands and feet together to put on animal skins, covering their heads and bodies so that no skin was exposed.

Ye Xi draped the skin of the big hyena beast on his body, and the heavy fur wrapped Ye Xi tightly, and from a distance it looked like a fat brown bear.

Ye Xi looked up, the pine gum grew on the branches of the pine tree, and it took at least twenty meters to climb there.

The trunk of the pine tree is straight, the bark is rough, and Ye Xi grabs the body of the tree and slowly climbs up.

Hulu and Ye Xi climb the same tree.

Hulu's tree-climbing skills were not very good, and he seemed to have really become a clumsy brown bear wrapped in the skin of a large hyena, and it took a lot of time to climb up.

In contrast, Ye Xi's movements were much faster, and the whole person was like a big gecko, and he climbed up silently.

Ye Xi stood on the branch and waited for a while, and after Hulu came up, he made a silent gesture, signaling him to go to the right branch to pick and go to the left branch himself.

Hulu nodded and moved his foot to the branch on his right.

Ye Xi himself stood on the left branch, the branch trembled, and immediately many crystal water droplets were thrown off.

Ye Xi looked at a pine gum flower on a branch two meters away, and walked over balancing his body.

The pine gum was about the size of a plum, with a faint amber tint, and crystal clear like a work of art.

Ye Xi bent down and grabbed the pine gum in his hand.

Loose gum is soft to the touch, like jelly to the touch, very elastic and slippery, people can't help but love it.

This kind of thing is different from the pine resin of the previous life, which is hard to the touch after solidifying, and cannot be taken without strict processing, but this thing can be eaten directly.

But unexpectedly, the pine gum grew unusually strong, and Ye Xi's wrist was slightly forced, and it was only then that he broke it off the branch.

It's a terrible break.

In an instant, the whole large pine tree shook and shook off countless pine needles.

Boom, countless pine needles shot towards Ye Xi's head like steel needles.

Ye Xi had already prepared, and hurriedly lay down and covered himself with heavy fur.

"The great pine tree is as if it were alive, and it is not pleased that we have plucked it, and it wants to attack us. Ye Xi said secretly.

After the movement passed, Ye Xi showed his head.

When I looked at the animal skin on my body, good guy, I saw that the thick skin of the big hyena was densely covered with pine needles, and the brown animal skin was about to turn dark green.

Ye Xi plucked one from the animal skin and found that a pine needle was ten centimeters long.

Ye Xi struggled with the pine needles and found that these pine needles were really worthy of the name "needle", they were made of iron, very hard, and they needed to be bent hard.

Fortunately, the fur of this big hyena is thick enough, otherwise so many terrible pine needles will be greeted to him, and the taste must be extremely sour.

At this time, the big pine tree shook again, and countless pine needles shot at the head like thousands of sharp arrows, and Ye Xi draped the animal skin on his body very quickly.

It seems that the other end of Putai has also picked up pine gum.

Ye Xi was no longer in a daze, and concentrated on picking up pine gum.

The animal skin bag is getting fuller and fuller, and the big hyena skin on the body is getting heavier and heavier, and in the end, the heavy big hyena skin can't resist the pine needles, and a small piece of pine needles is inserted straight into Ye Xi's back, the taste is really painful and itchy, and it is uncomfortable.

Forced by this uncomfortable force, Ye Xi moved faster and faster, and finally was a few points faster than some of the old team members.

But even if he sped up, when the animal skin bag was full and he climbed down from the big pine tree, Ye Xi also received several pine needles on his back.

Looking up, the "brown bears" on the trees have all turned into "green bears".

Under the big pine tree, as Hulu picked another pine gum, countless pine needles fell on their heads.

After Ye Xi dodged this attack with animal skins, he didn't dare to stay longer, with animal skins on his head, he hurriedly left this big pine forest where pine needles rained everywhere.

Outside the pine forest, several old soldiers such as Pu Tai and Luo had already finished picking and waiting.

Seeing Ye Xi coming out, he hurriedly went up to help remove the big hyena skin on Ye Xi's body.

At this moment, the skin of the great hyena was much heavier, and there was no trace of brown to be found, and it was full of emerald pine needles.

As the skin of the big hyena was peeled off, half of the pine needles stuck in its back were also pulled out.

Later, soldiers came back one after another, all grinning. Hulu and Tugu were the last rookie fighters to come back, and they looked the worst, not only were they drilled countless holes in their backs, but they were also hit in their arms and thighs.

It took a lot of effort to pull out all the pine needles from their bodies.

Hulu touched the pits on his body and sighed sadly: "I feel like a hedgehog with a plucked needle. ”

The other three didn't slow down, they always felt like they had countless pine needles stuck in their bodies, and they were awkward, numb and itchy.

Hulu sighed: "Ye Xi, you are so fast, I think you have already finished picking it." ”

"I was forced, I didn't even know I could move so fast. ”

Ye Xi now feels that his whole body hurts and itches when he looks at the pine forest, and he still feels that this place is full of fairy energy, and he wants to stay a little longer, but now he can't wait to stay away.
