Chapter 5 The Mountain Lord
"Mr. Xue, this favor, we may not be able to help you, what I exchanged with you yesterday is already a small amount of inventory in the clan, although there are still some left, but I can't exchange it with you."
Qiu Dai looked at the people with different faces in the camp, shook his head slowly, and said to Xue Song with a wry smile, "The rest of the light wine is to be given to the people in the clan to use, they need to rely on the light wine to communicate the light veins, this is what they rely on for a living,..."
Xue Song saw Qiu Dai's resolute attitude, and he didn't force it, but he felt a little regretful, he thought that the other party still had a lot of light wine.
"If Mr. Xue is in urgent need of light wine, I can also help you ask the people on the other side of the West Country, but, Mr. Xue, light wine can't be used at will, you must be careful..."
Qiu Dai saw Xue Song's slightly depressed face and said, "As for the Void Cocoon, in the East Country, you can go to the Shen family in the south to take a look, or you can go to the West Country, the Rabbit Ze family to get it, their families are doing the work of the Void Keeper for generations..."
"Thank you, Patriarch, and please help me ask." Xue Song was also interested when he heard this, he handed over all the medicinal materials in the package to Qiu Dai, and asked the migrants to help him draw a few maps.
After getting the light wine and the spirit banyan tree produces grass and tree spirit essences, he will go to the Shen family in the south to have a look, release some commissions to the insect masters, and also exchange some virtual cocoons to contact the migratory clan.
In the afternoon, Qiu Dai received a reply from the people of the West Kingdom, saying that he would let people send the light wine here, but it would take some time, after Qiu Dai told Xue Song about the situation, Xue Song was also very happy, and he also asked Xue Song not to leave the neighborhood in the near future, so as not to miss it with the sender.
In a few days, their clan will set off to continue to pursue the light vein, and they will not stay for long, and Xue Song will need to hand over to the delivery person himself.
After Xue Song and Ah Ping's grandfather talked about the situation, they asked Uncle De to help him pay attention to it, and if the person arrived, he would send him a letter, because he was going to the mountains to open up the wasteland.
He won't come to the village in the near future, so he also asked Uncle De to put away the herbs he brought down and keep them as emergency supplies in the village.
After saying goodbye, Xue Song walked deep into the mountains.
Three months later.
The country of the east, deep in the mountains of a mountain village somewhere in the north.
A huge bird and beast with wings spread out four or five meters in size, but the shape of a swallow roared over the mountains and forests, and the huge body and the strong wind brought by it could bend the trees in the mountains and forests.
And it also grabbed a wild boar in its claws, and flew towards the center of the mountain with a roar.
There is a large area of artificially cultivated wasteland, but there are no plants to survive, only in the middle of the wasteland there is a giant plant more than five meters high, the two of them hug so thick, shaped like a banyan tree, from the tree hanging down many tiny rattans, moving with the wind.
A young man, dressed simply, sat in the shade under a tree, with some picked wild fruits on the side, and a freshly lit bonfire.
"Ah Qi, you come down for me!"
Looking at the birds and beasts hovering in the sky, the young man shouted.
It was Xue Song, after coming to the deep mountains, Xue Song used the spiritual skills he learned to reclaim more than 200 acres of wasteland.
The bird and beast were raw spring swallows that absorbed the remaining light wine in the gourd and broke out of their shells, and Xue Song named it Ah Qi.
Because the smallest of the seven eggs in the spirit seed bag.
Ah Qi heard the shouts of his master, hurriedly landed down, threw away the dead boar carcass that was caught in his paws, flapped his wings and jumped away to Xue Song's side.
Picking up a few wild fruits from the side and feeding them to Ah Qi, Xue Song dragged the wild boar to the fire.
After the spiritual power conjured up the blade, directly disemboweling the wild boar, and burying the boar's internal organs, Xue Song directly tore its flesh and dried the fur on the rattan on the side.
Passing a branch through the boar, Xue Song roasted it on the fire.
Except for an occasional trip back to the thatched house for a few days to take care of the vegetables and fruits planted at the door, Xue Song will stay in the mountains most of the time.
Clearing the wasteland during the day,
At night, he stayed under the Spirit Banyan Tree to meditate and cultivate, because the spiritual power he dissipated during his cultivation would also be absorbed by the Spirit Banyan Tree, so that he could grow faster.
During this time, Xue Song also learned the soil loosening technique from the booklet, which is also the basis for him to reclaim more than 200 acres of land, and every day he will also cast soil spells on the land to improve the soil power until the spiritual power is exhausted, but this is still not enough.
The life energy required for the Spirit Banyan Tree to mature is still too much, and the continuous provision of spiritual power every day only makes the Spirit Banyan Tree grow to a height of more than five meters, which is still far from maturity.
After eating the whole pig, the bones left over from the meal were crushed into powder and sprinkled on the surrounding land.
Xue Song stood up, patted his buttocks, and let Ah Qi go play by himself, he was going to go back to the thatched hut to take a look, the light wine sent to him by the migratory tribe, and the time should be almost up.
Since people rarely returned, many animals and beasts gathered around the thatched huts, and many melons and fruits in the vegetable garden were stolen and eaten by the animals.
It seems that plants with vigorous plants and trees are quite attractive to intelligent creatures, Xue Song drove away a little, and didn't care too much,
After Xue Song went to the deep mountains and left the nearby mountain forest, although the spiritual power around him had dropped a lot, the plants that had been spawned by the residual spiritual power still contained a lot more energy than ordinary places.
Back in the house, changing into a set of clean clothes, Xue Song climbed up the big tree in front of the house.
The big tree is more than 50 meters high, a lot higher than the surrounding trees, it is a red pine, the branches of the red pine stand in a forest, when Xue Song climbs up, disturbs a bunch of birds resting on the tree,
Xue Song sat cross-legged on a high ground branch and began to meditate, his mind followed the red pine tree, like a ripple to the surrounding mountains and forests, with the help of trees and plants, the range of land that Xue Song's spiritual power could explore increased significantly.
Trees rustle when the wind blows, animals run and chase each other, leaves fall slowly, water slides down from a height, seeds sprout on the ground, villagers gather firewood on the hills...
Scenes appeared in Xue Song's mind, and at this moment, every plant became Xue Song's eyes and ears, and he could understand all the conditions of this mountain.
suddenly
Xue Song saw a strange man with white hair, emerald green eyes, wearing a black sweater with a brown coat over it, and carrying a half-human-tall wooden box.
And in Xue Song's perception, he also felt a strange fluctuation on the man's body, as if there was another creature on the man's body, which absorbed all the life materials of the man and the surrounding land, and could not be seen, like the darkness in the secret room.
When Xue Song observed this man, the man also seemed to sense something, looking in the direction where Xue Song was.
"Mountain Lord?"
The man muttered.
