Volume 1 The Rookie Apothecary Chapter 8 Was Struck by Lightning
Looking at the young man who was shouting away, Didi was a little envious for a moment. However, the unfed ooze monster, although stupid and a little eagerly with the juice in his hand, could not move fast.
Shaking his head a little funny, this is the normal state of ooze monsters, right? Dee Dee retracted his thoughts, but he was much more cautious, although Emma's scorching ooze monster seemed to be the safest place on his body, he still cautiously restrained his breath, and slowly swam towards the place where Palami had an accident. Gradually inward, the moonlight swamp was indeed not as calm as it seemed on the outside, and although the swamp creatures were mostly mute, the sounds of hunting and fleeing were unusually clear in the quiet of the night.
A few times Dee Dee noticed something unusual about the ooze monster, it didn't turn as he commanded, but after a few breaths, he found that if he went in the direction before, he could detect something strange if he saw a powerful beast or go a little closer to him. He knew that as Emma had said, the ooze monster had the ability to detect and avoid danger, so he gradually reassured himself and quickened the pace of searching.
Although Emma was a little cunning under the constant beating of old Nord, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy after all. In the beginning, he was very energetic when he was harnessing something as new as the ooze monster. But after all, he didn't have Didi's strength, and he couldn't detect the danger in the distance, and the quiet and almost unchanged scenery of the swamp soon made him a little bored. So he put his hands on the head of the ooze monster, and his side face rested on the injury, and soon he let out a slight snoring sound on this fast and smooth "express" that did not need to be driven, and he actually fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt something abnormal under me, and when I opened my eyes in a daze, I felt that the ooze monster didn't seem to move anymore. Emma shook her head to make herself more energetic, propped herself up a little, and looked around. Soon, his eyes widened in surprise, and just behind him, a plant was swaying gently, and the moonlight shone on its snow-white flowers, reflecting a silvery white light, and between the flow of this light, there was a soft halo, and between the shaking of the flowers, it changed with seven colors. This is Yuehua Grass!
Emma reached out to untie the rope around her waist and waited to get up and reach the moonflower. Suddenly, I felt a sudden, listening to what the old medicine picker said, this soft mud monster is going to absorb the essence of the moonflower grass to hatch, will he go crazy after he pulls out the moonflower grass or something, right? After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth, lay down towards the soft mud monster's ass, tied the rope around his waist again, thought about it, and let his two feet hook the rope tied to the soft mud monster's head, and then stretched out his hand and pulled the Yuehua grass off. The ooze monster doesn't seem to move, its ass is a little upturned at this time, it must be at the critical moment of spawning.
Emma's heart was relieved, and her other hand reached into her arms, ready to take out the Aoki box and put away the Yuehua grass.
At that moment, the ooze monster suddenly writhed violently and scurried forward. Emma was caught off guard, her foot didn't hook the rope, she was thrown out, and the whole person turned over. He hurriedly grabbed the rope around his waist, but when he looked up, his soul was scattered, and the tail of the ooze monster flicked up, but it was broken flat and neat in front of his eyes, and blood splattered. He clearly saw a small gap appear in front of him, cutting the space, and there seemed to be lightning flashing between the gaps.
This is a spatial rift, right??? Emma opened her mouth to scream, but the soft mud monster suddenly turned sharply, and under the severe pain, he felt that his mouth was full of blood, and he actually bit his tongue out. Now he was even more flustered, only to feel that the rope on his waist was about to slip off, and in a hurry, the hand that was going to get the green wood box grabbed the rope on his waist. However, an even stronger sense of crisis hit, and he felt that if he didn't find a way to fix his body, he would fall into the swamp and drown in the next breath. In a fit of rage, Emma bit down on the ooze monster's broken tail with one mouth, and suddenly there was some strange taste in her mouth.
Isn't it the fishy smell of imagination, and the smell of blood seems to be a little cool? In the midst of the crisis, Emma still had this thought in her head: It seems that she can still drink? Before the thought fell, Emma only felt a crispy numb sensation spread from her mouth to her whole body, and she lost consciousness in an instant. It turned out to be a blue lightning bolt that flashed out of the spatial crack and slashed straight at the ooze monster's body. Emma, who had not been directly struck by the lightning, immediately fell unconscious, but the ooze monster was in a frenzy, and after running a long way, he suddenly convulsed and rushed straight to a small dirt bag.
I don't know how long it took, Emma woke up slowly, only to feel that her head was about to explode, and it seemed as if there were countless small hammers striking in her head, and it hurt everywhere suddenly; The ears also seemed to be cramping, thumping from time to time. What's the matter, he couldn't help but open his eyes blurred, and the moonlight that should have been soft was so dazzling that he couldn't help but close his eyes again. He must have been lying on his back, and when he opened his eyes, the full moon hung brightly in the middle of the sky.
Emma screamed in pain, her voice a little hoarse. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to hold his head, but when he moved, he found that one hand was entangled in something and could not move, and the other hand was raised, but a wet herb fell. My heart moved, it was Yuehua grass, it had been pulled out of juice for some time, but it revealed a trace of calming breath.
Emma stuffed the moonflower grass in her hand into her mouth, and the slightly bitter juice entered her mouth, which actually reduced the pain in his head a little, which made him chew on it, and quickly ate the moonflower grass clean.
The moon flower herb is really a good medicine to stabilize the mind, although it can't exert much effect when eaten raw, but it finally makes Emma's headache suddenly reduced. No longer in pain, he began to probe his situation.
Emma clearly remembered that she had fallen down and bitten the tail of the ooze monster, but she found that she had turned into a position of facing the sky at some point, but it was fine, it was still on the back of the ooze monster. One hand was entangled in the rope around his waist, but the whole person was crooked to the side, and the whole person was about to fall into the water. The ooze monster was motionless, but the wound on its tail was no longer bleeding, and it was magically covered with a transparent membrane.
Emma's hand holding the rope was already a little pressed and unconscious, and he laboriously pulled out his hand and reached it in front of his eyes, where there were deep rope marks. I gasped for breath violently, and my headache lessened slightly. He fumbled to untie the rope around his waist, got up, and shook it again, and sat down with his feet crossed and his hands propped up behind his back. At this time, he suddenly had a strange feeling, and he had a special connection with the ooze monster under him at this time. I couldn't help but scratch its back hard, and found that this feeling was even stronger, and it seemed that it also had a headache?
Emma patted the soft mud monster and said in her heart: "If you have a headache, go find Yuehua grass, this works." "Patting the big guy under me, there is a sense of intimacy in my heart that I have never felt before.
The ooze monster moved slightly, and then woke up, and the water pad beneath it seemed to flow again, slipping from the dirt bag into the water.
Emma was a little surprised to see that the ooze monster was slowly moving, gradually getting faster and faster. There was another headache in his head, and he knew very well that it was not his own pain, but the ooze monster that came from under him.
They don't know what happened to each other, but there is a spiritual connection? It's unbelievable, Emma shook her head, feeling a little numb and a little shocked, this should be a hallucination, right?
The ooze monster couldn't feel Emma's emotions, and it staggered through the swamp, and soon found two moonflower grasses growing together. Seeing these two plants with a beautiful halo, Emma finally woke up from the shock, and he subconsciously pulled it off, broke the rhizome, and held it up to the head of the ooze monster. The ooze monster sent out a stream of water, quickly reeling the moonflower grass into its mouth.
It wasn't long before Emma could clearly feel that it seemed to have some cheerful consciousness. He finally understood completely, and thought in amazement: this, this, this...... I'm really mentally bound to this guy, huh? Does it have a headache anymore?
Shocked, Emma casually pulled up another moonflower grass, skillfully broke the rhizome and stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it. Yes, it is very effective, the head finally does not hurt, and the whole person has a feeling of refreshment. As soon as his head cleared up, he realized that it was broken, and the Yuehua grass that he had finally found was eaten raw by them!
There was a wail, and soon Emma thought again, there should be moonlight swamp and moonflower grass, right? This guy should still be able to be found, right? But the ooze monster came with a burst of negative information at this time, and I don't know if I can't find it or don't want to find it.
Emma thought he hadn't made it clear, so she patted the ooze monster beneath her, imagining the shape of the moonflower grass in her head. However, it was useless, and the love conveyed by the ooze monster at this time was even more powerless. He slumped on the back of the ooze monster, it was for nothing.
Emma, who had lost hope, also became weak, and she didn't know how long she had been in a coma, but at this time, her head no longer hurt, and the feeling of hunger was especially strong. If the ooze monster doesn't go back, I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death here, right? The more he thought about it, the more hungry he became, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, patted the soft mud monster under him, and said, "I'm so hungry, take me back quickly." ”
The ooze monster seemed to have a response in his mind, as if to say: I have no strength. Oh, my God!
Just when Emma was a little desperate, Didi's voice came from a distance: "Emma~~ Emma, where are you?" Can you hear me? ”
Emma was overjoyed and sat up, and he listened carefully to confirm that it was not a hallucination, and then shouted loudly, "Didi, here I am." ”
Dee Dee followed the voice and came over, "Great, Emma, it's good that you haven't had an accident." ”
Emma hurriedly said, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”
Didi was stunned: "There is some water and dry food. ”
Emma suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly urged Didi to take out something to eat, this guy actually had a small space bag, and he didn't seem to see it when he came.
Emma was gobbling up her food and listening to Dee Dee tell him about her experience, and it was already the third day. The night before, Dee Dee quickly found the place where Palami had happened, which was not far from the location of the porcupine forest. Not surprisingly, his bones were gone, and only some pieces of broken cloth remained at the scene. Didi found Palami's space bag at a glance, it should have been thrown out by Palami when the accident occurred, there was a small tree growing alone near the accident site, it was a light rod with few branches and leaves, and the space bag hung very conspicuously on the branch. This is the only space bag in their team, the volume is not large, it is allocated to Palami in charge of logistics in the team, used to hold logistics supplies, which contains some food and medicine and some small personal belongings of the team members.
After finding the space bag, Dee Dee fed the ooze monster, and according to Emma, it migrated to the spawning grounds on its own, so that it could join Emma. However, when I arrived at the place, I found that there was a spatial crack on the other side of the spawning ground, which was no longer safe. The ooze monster held back to itself all day, laid a few eggs, and then slowly swam back to the edge of the porcupine forest. In the process, Didi tried to use pig fruit juice to command it, but helplessly found that he didn't know what was going on, and the method was ineffective.
Fortunately, Didi has a good memory, and after returning to the porcupine forest, he picked some pig fruit, dealt with it as before, re-caught a soft mud monster, and took advantage of the fog to disperse and find it again, and finally found Emma back.
Emma quickly stopped after a half-full meal and beckoned Dee Dee to prepare for the return trip. During this period, he quietly stuffed a piece of dry food for the soft mud monster, and found that it actually ate it, and its physical strength seemed to have recovered somewhat. It doesn't seem to like this very much, though, and the second piece doesn't respond when it is put away.
Subconsciously not wanting Didi to find out about the anomaly of the ooze monster, Emma casually found an excuse that was too crowded, and asked Didi to pull the rope in front and drag them forward. Didi took the bottle of pig fruit juice and pointed the direction to his ooze monster in front of him, and the two of them quickly landed on the edge of the porcupine forest.
At Emma's request, Dee Dee carried Emma's ooze monster back to Emma's house with a strange expression. He didn't ask much, and in his mind, Emma was a mysterious boy, and it wasn't surprising that he was going to do research with a ooze monster or something.
Before leaving, Didi left his green wood box, and Emma opened it to see a moonflower grass lying quietly inside. He finally laughed, this trip was finally not in vain, Yuehuacao was finally obtained, it was really gratifying.
When Emma returned home, it was early in the morning, and although he had been asleep for two days, he still felt exhausted.
Looking closely, the ooze seemed to have gotten a little smaller, with some strange changes. But it's better to wait until you wake up and study it, and look at the bed and fall asleep deeply.
