Chapter 697: Only One Large-Leaf Flame
The cub stopped and looked back at him suspiciously: "I said, not only stone frogs and tree frogs can have offspring, but frogs and rain frogs can also give birth, and the offspring can be as good as mine!"
It was obviously icy and snowy, and it was obviously standing on the thick snow, but Ye Xi's chest was hot.
"Did you just say that...... Holy Fruit?"
The cub looked into the question: "Yes, Holy Fruit, what's wrong?"
Ye Xi exhaled a long breath.
He couldn't believe that he had such good fortune and that he had come across a magical fruit that could solve the problem between him and his descendants of the mist.
If they hadn't been attacked by the Grey Tribe, if the Gulf hadn't chosen to land in the Blue Bird Forest, if they hadn't happened to catch the Frog Cub nearby to relieve his boredom, if they hadn't followed the Frog Tribe, if he hadn't just talked to the Frog Tribe, if he hadn't just talked about the topic with the Duckling, then this magical fruit might have been lost to him for the rest of his life.
Ye Xi was scared and happy.
Seriously, if after he and Cangwu gave birth, the offspring of the two were really so bad luck that they were like mermaids in the mermaid lake, even if he could accept it, he didn't dare to guarantee that Cangwu would accept it, and this behavior was extremely irresponsible to the mermaid clan.
So in the end, it is very likely that he will give in and let Cangwu and the other male sharks have children, and even if they get married, they will not be able to have a child belonging to the two of them.
This is undoubtedly a great pity.
The cub looked at him for a while, touched his chin and grinned, "Why do you keep asking this, what, are you interested in the holy fruit of our clan?"
Ye Xi didn't hide it at all: "Yes." ”
The cub was surprised: "Aren't you from the tribe, what kind of holy fruit do you want?"
Ye Xi looked into his eyes sincerely: "My partner is an alien, so I need one, it's important to me." ”
There are so many frogmen in the frogman clan, he doesn't believe that there is only one holy fruit, and if the holy fruit is not rare to the extent that there is only one in the entire clan, he believes that it is not very difficult to get one, and there is no need to make a big move.
Sure enough, the cub didn't refuse, hesitated for a while, and said, "I can't decide the matter of the holy fruit myself, I'm going to ask my father." ”
"Okay, let's go back first. ”
Ye Xi finished speaking calmly and continued to walk forward on the snow.
It's just that on the way back, his pace was obviously much faster, and the cub became the one who followed behind.
Soon the two returned to the ice-free lake.
After a while, the cub jumped off the top of the super stone frog's head and said happily to Ye Xi: "My father agreed, but you have to exchange three king beast cores for it!"
"Yes!"
Ye Xi agreed.
Not to mention the three king beast cores, even a hundred king beast cores, he can also give them to them.
Ye Xi happily took out four jewel-like and beautiful king seed beast cores from the animal skin pouch and handed them to the cub: "I'll give you four, and the extra one is a thank you for telling me the news of the holy fruit." ”
The cub's eyes lit up.
The king beast core was too big, and the cub held them in both hands, put them in front of his eyes one by one, and praised them in his mouth: "It's so beautiful!"
After playing with them for a while, he returned them to Ye Xi with heartache and reluctance: "You don't have to give it to me now, the holy fruit is not ripe yet!"
Ye Xi's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Not mature yet?"
"Yes!" the cub turned to face the unfrozen lake, pointed to the surface of the lake that was as cold as mist, and said, "Oh, have you seen those large-leaf flames? ”
Ye Xi looked at the dark green ice-free lake.
Look at the aquatic plant called the Large-Leaf Flame with a completely new and completely new gaze.
The large-leaf flames have huge round leaves shaped like royal lotus, they are very heavy, even if you sleep on them, there is no problem, some of the leaves are cleaned, very clean, some of the leaves are piled with white snow like small salt mounds, and the leaves are slightly sunk in the water.
These green leaves, most of them have a few long slender stems, and the other end is adorned with fist-sized eosin buds, which are not as slim as lotus flowers, but hang weakly in the water with thin stems, and the eosa buds are soaked in the emerald green water, and the color contrast is strong.
Ye Xi: "Is the holy fruit born from these flame buds?"
At a glance, there are at least a few thousand flame buds on the surface of the frozen lake, and if this is the case, there are a lot of such strange fruits.
The cub shook his head: "No, the holy fruit is still calming in the water now! It matures every two to four years, you are unlucky, the holy fruit just ripen once last year, so you have to wait a few more years, you can come back in a few years." ”
Ye Xi's eyebrows frowned deeper.
"It bears fruit once every two to four years......
The cub glanced at him sympathetically: "You are in a hurry to use it." ”
Ye Xi: "If the holy fruit is produced by a large leaf flame, then can you trade a strain with me, and the conditions are as you like." ”
Two to four years was too long, there were too many variables during the period, and the Holy Fruit was too important to him, so he had to find a more secure way, for example, dividing a large-leaf flame and transplanting it into the Star Lake in Xicheng, Xicheng's safety factor was much higher than that of the frog people.
"Impossible!"
But the cub refused without hesitation.
The cub added: "It's not that we are stingy, in fact, there is only one large-leaf flame, and if we give it to you, we will be gone." ”
Ye Xi looked at the scattered large-leaf flames that covered half of the ice-free lake, and said incredulously: "You said this is a plant?"
Cub: "Don't lie to me, just jump into the lake and take a closer look...... Hey!"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Xi had already jumped into the unfrozen lake.
lake water.
Ye Xi swam towards the place where there were many large-leaved flame stems and leaves.
The cold and biting dark green lake surrounded him, the winter weather was cold, there was no sunshine, the visibility of the lake water of the unfrozen lake was not high, and it was slightly turbid, there was a giant frog half snorkeling around, some giant frogs were swimming in the lake, and they looked at Ye Xi indifferently when they passed by.
Ye Xi soon swam to the place where the large-leaf flame rhizomes were most dense.
The stems and leaves are criss-crossed, as numerous and dense as hair, intertwined with each other, the thickest stems as thick as an adult's arm, each with several round leaves and several flame buds.
Ye Xi swam around them for half a circle and looked at them for a while, but he couldn't see that this was a plant, so he plunged into the depths of the lake.
Although the unfrozen lake is a medium-sized lake, the depth cannot be underestimated, Ye Xi has swam dozens of meters downstream, and the surroundings are wrapped in heavy darkness, and he has not yet swam to the bottom of the lake.
In winter, the visibility of the lake water is too low, and Ye Xi's eyesight is beginning to feel strained. He could only feel the warm or cold water carrying some kind of impurity, pouring in from all directions, dark to the point of silence and fear.
He reached out and touched the side, until he touched a rough and slightly slippery pillar not far away, and he was sure that he was next to the large-leaf flame.
