Chapter 65: Greedy Xiaoqiu
Xiao Ling and the others were talking to each other while looking for a safe place to rest.
However, most of the content of the conversation revolved around Xiao Ling's identity.
Obviously, everyone is full of absolute curiosity about Xiao Ling's identity, even Zhou Ziming, who has long known all this.
The strength and decision-making ability that Xiao Ling showed in the Zhao Mansion before had unconsciously conquered everyone, and at this moment, everyone, including Zhao Wan'er, also faintly regarded Xiao Ling as their backbone.
Xiao Ling didn't have much thought about this.
According to Ling Xiao's prompt, Xiao Ling led a few people to grope all the way forward.
After walking for most of the day, seeing that the sky had gradually darkened, Xiao Ling looked at the surrounding environment, so he suggested: "Let's rest here today, and continue to move forward when it is dawn." ”
Now, Xiao Ling has become the backbone of everyone, so he will naturally not be opposed to what he says.
They looked for a clean place and sat down.
Then, Xiao Ling said to Zhou Ziming: "I'll go to the neighborhood to pick up some wood and come back, you go to the neighborhood to see if there are any wild fruits or the like, something that can satisfy your hunger." ”
After the two finished speaking, they went their separate ways.
And Zhao Wan'er pulled Zhao Xu to sit aside, Qing'er, a little girl, had never cultivated Xuanqi, and she was so tired that she was panting because she was leaning against the big tree on the side.
Seeing Xiao Ling and Zhou Ziming leaving, Zhao Wan'er looked back at Zhao Xu and looked at his small figure, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
As if sensing his sister's strange emotions, Zhao Xu couldn't help asking, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister is fine!" Secretly wiping away the tears on her face, Zhao Wan'er kept reminding herself to be strong, and then said, "Xiao Xu, now the two of us are left in the Zhao family, and the burden of reviving the Zhao family will fall on your shoulders in the future." ”
"What about you, sister, aren't you with me?" Zhao Xu asked urgently with his small eyes.
"Don't worry, as long as my sister lives for a day, she will stand in front of you until you can be on your own. Zhao Wan'er said in a firm tone.
When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but say with a resolute face: "Sister, don't worry, Xiao Xu promised you that he would definitely cultivate Xuan Qi well, and he would definitely avenge his father in the future." ”
Zhao Wan'er rubbed Zhao Xu in her arms, but she had mixed feelings in her heart, she didn't know if it was appropriate for her younger brother to take on such a heavy burden.
It's just that because she has been busy helping her father manage the family all these years, she has no extra energy to cultivate Xuan Qi, which has caused her to waste Xuan Qi, otherwise it would be impossible for her to reach the level of Xuan Qi Eighth Rank at her age.
However, Zhao Xu, although he only has the third stage of Xuan Qi, he has only cultivated Xuan Qi for half a year, and with such achievements, he can already be regarded as an outstanding talent.
Therefore, now that the only hope of the Zhao family is in him, Zhao Wan'er secretly made up her mind in her heart that she would not let her brother have an accident no matter what.
While the sisters and brothers were talking, Xiao Ling had already picked up a pile of dry firewood from nearby, and at the same time, relying on Ling Xiao's powerful perception, he checked the neighborhood a little, and only after making sure that there were no dangerous mysterious beasts around, he returned to everyone with confidence.
At this time, Zhou Ziming also walked back happily with a bunch of unknown wild fruits.
"You see, there are all kinds of wild fruits growing all over here, and it seems that we won't be hungry for a while. Zhou Ziming spread a bunch of wild fruits in his arms in front of everyone and said happily.
As he spoke, he picked up one of them and prepared to put it in his mouth.
Who knows, Xiao Ling slapped the wild fruit in Zhou Ziming's hand, and shouted: "Don't eat it!"
The others were about to make a move, and they were stunned when they suddenly saw this scene.
Zhou Ziming looked at Xiao Ling in confusion, and the latter frowned and said: "This wild fruit is poisonous, once you eat it, it doesn't take a few breaths, and it will festered all over your body and die." ”
"Ahh
As soon as Qing'er heard Xiao Ling's words, she hurriedly threw the wild fruit in her hand far away, and at the same time wiped her hands with palpitations, and said to Zhou Ziming with dissatisfaction: "Okay, you Zhou Ziming, you want to kill us all!"
When Zhou Ziming heard this, he stood there awkwardly, his lips moved twice, and said, "I...... I do not know. ”
Xiao Ling patted Zhou Ziming's shoulder and said in a wide voice: "Don't care, although everything here looks very beautiful, but the more beautiful things are, the more serious the hidden danger is, it's normal for you to not know, as long as you pay attention next time." ”
Immediately, Xiao Ling bent down, jumped out of a pile of scattered wild fruits, jumped out of a few mediocre-looking, even ugly wild fruits, distributed them to everyone, and said: "These are not poisonous, everyone can eat them with confidence." ”
Qing'er took the ugly-looking wild monster handed over by Xiao Ling, and her little face suddenly frowned.
This wild fruit grew so ugly that everyone lost their appetite in an instant.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help rolling her eyes, then ignored it, and took a bite of the wild fruit in her hand, and suddenly a burst of fragrance spread like a taste bud, and Xiao Ling couldn't say how comfortable she was.
As early as Ling Xiao's reminder, Xiao Ling knew that this ugly-looking wild fruit was a rare treasure for martial artists who cultivated Xuan Qi.
Of course, this monster is not ugly, but compared with the others, it doesn't seem to have any appearance.
But the energy contained in this wild fruit can be said to be a good thing to enhance the Xuan Qi.
Of course, according to Ling Xiao's words, these wild fruits in front of him are called figs, and in the Netherworld, they can only be regarded as the most ordinary, but in the depths of this area, there are more and better things.
It's just that, with their current strength, naturally don't think about it.
Everyone saw Xiao Ling eating with relish, as if they were infected by it, and immediately began to eat the wild fruits in their hands.
Of course, Xiao Ling has a huge amount of Xuan Qi in his body that ordinary people can't imagine, and although this small wild fruit makes him refreshed, it has no obvious effect on his Xuan Qi.
However, after eating this wild fruit, the three of Zhao Wan'er obviously felt that there was a hot current in their bodies.
In less than a short period of time, the three of them had grown a lot of their Xuan Qi, which made the three of them feel surprised.
Although Qing'er doesn't understand Xuanqi, after eating this fig, her originally tired body is also comfortable, and her mental outlook is refreshed.
It's just that everyone didn't notice that at this time, next to the pile of scattered wild fruits, Xiaoqiu was holding a wild fruit that looked very good, but was identified as poisonous by Xiao Ling, and ate it with relish.
Xiaoqiu ate very quickly, but in the blink of an eye, there were already four or five more fruit cores on the ground.
At this time, Zhao Wan'er on the side also discovered Xiaoqiu's actions, and couldn't help but scream in surprise: "Xiao Ling, Xiaoqiu ate those poisonous wild monsters." ”
When Xiao Ling heard this, he turned his head suddenly, and saw Xiaoqiu happily biting a poisonous fruit and looking at him with a puzzled expression.
His heart jumped suddenly, Xiao Ling hurriedly snatched the only half of the poisonous fruit left in Xiao Qiu's hand, who knew that Xiao Qiu's guy seemed to have identified this poisonous fruit, no matter how Xiao Ling pulled it, he was holding on to it, and the whole little body was even more up and down with Xiao Ling's movements, like dough, flying around in mid-air, but he didn't mean to let go at all.
In the end, Xiao Qiu swallowed the whole fruit with one mouth, because the movement was so big, even Xiao Ling's fingers were bitten down.
Xiao Ling was in pain for a while, but she couldn't help but want to break Xiaoqiu's mouth open, but Xiaoqiu had already swallowed the fruit whole, and no matter how Xiao Ling looked for it, she couldn't find any residue.
grabbed Xiaoqiu in front of him, Xiao Ling couldn't help but scold angrily: "You are a pig! Didn't I just say that these things are poisonous, why do you still send them into your stomach, you guy is not going to be angry with me." ”
Who knows, Xiaoqiu was not happy to be tossed by Xiao Ling, and opened her mouth to shout at Xiao Ling, obviously very dissatisfied with Xiao Ling disturbing him to enjoy the fruit.
Zhao Wan'er on the side was already pale with fright by Xiaoqiu's actions, and hurriedly snatched Xiaoqiu from Xiao Ling's arms, put it in her arms and carefully examined it, but she couldn't see the reason, and couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Xiao Ling, Xiaoqiu ate that poisonous fruit, what is the matter now?"
Xiao Ling was angry, but she didn't want to see this little guy die like this, so she couldn't help but ask in her heart: "Ling Xiao, Xiaoqiu ate those poisonous fruits, do you have any way to detoxify?"
Ling Xiao naturally seems to have some feelings for Xiaoqiu, after all, Xiaoqiu is a ten-year-old gift from his grandfather, and he is also one of Ling Xiao's few playmates.
However, even if he is a genius, he is afraid that he has no means at this moment, so he can only say helplessly: "Everything in this Netherworld Death Land is unusual, I only know that these fruits are poisonous, once eaten, it only takes a few breaths, and the whole body will completely festered and die, but I don't know how to detoxify." ”
"This ......" Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw that she couldn't even do anything about Ling Xiao.
However, after listening to Ling Xiaodi's words, Xiao Ling suddenly reacted, hurriedly grabbed Xiaoqiu in front of him, and took a closer look.
It stands to reason that a long time has passed since just now, and Xiaoqiu has eaten no less than five poisonous fruits, but looking at it, how can it seem that everything is fine, and there are no symptoms of poison at all?
Could it be that the fruit is not poisonous?
"No way, I saw it with my own eyes back then, a jade fiery bear just ate a poisonous fruit of this kind, and in the blink of an eye, it completely turned into a puddle of corpse water. Ling Xiao said assertently.
"Then why is Xiaoqiu okay now?" Xiao Ling asked puzzled.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he pondered for a while, and then said with some uncertainty: "Xiaoqiu has always been very smart since he was born, maybe it is because its system is more special and it is not afraid of these poisonous fruits, or it has the ability to dissolve these poisonous fruits in its body, only these two possibilities can explain all this." ”
After listening to Ling Xiao's explanation, Xiao Ling was also half-convinced, and carefully observed for a while, and only after making sure that Xiaoqiu was indeed safe and sound, did he temporarily put aside the worries in his heart.
