Chapter 21: The First Order of Hitiding
Su Xiangxiang hugged her arms and said dissatisfied, "Can we be serious?" I'm serious. ”
Xiu Bai smiled and looked directly at Su Xiangxiang, "I'm serious." ”
Su Xiangxiang turned her head and sighed coolly.
Xiu Bai paused, put away his smile, and asked intently, "So, what do you need me to do?" ”
Su Xiangxiang's big amber eyes flashed instantly, and the corners of her mouth hooked, "Are you familiar with the nearby terrain?" Can you take me to the beach? ”
Xiu Bai was stunned for a moment, "By the sea? ”
"Hmmm! We can go to the beach to dry salt, or we can use salt mines on land, so that we don't have to exchange hedron for other people's coarse salt every time. Su Xiangxiang's face was hard to hide her excitement.
Xiu Bai raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, and looked at Su Xiangxiang's gaze a little deeper.
Salt is a necessity for every orc, but only a very small number of orcs know how to make salt, so the price of salt is unusually high.
The method of absorbing the spar, the skill of controlling the fire, and now the preparation of salt, Su Xiangxiang can bring him different surprises every time.
Xiu Bai's expression was complicated, and he was silent for a long time.
"I'm sorry, Su Xiangxiang, I have something very important to do now."
Loss climbed up Su Xiangxiang's face, she stopped talking, and slowly closed her mouth.
Xiu Bai is not a casual person, and refusing to show that he really can't do it.
"Xiangxiang...... Give me some time and I'll definitely do it for you. Xiu Bai sat upright, with gentle and firm water waves lingering in his eyes, and his eyes looked directly at Su Xiangxiang honestly, which made people's hearts feel soft.
It's a pity that Su Xiangxiang is a straight woman of steel, except for cooking, she is a spar in her eyes, and she doesn't feel the feelings on the other side at all.
Su Xiangxiang sighed regretfully, her expression changed, and she suddenly asked again, "Then how about accompanying me to pick some herbs?" Eleutherococcus? ”
Eleutherococcus senticosus, a spiky shrub.
The taste is clear and bitter, it can be eaten as a dish, and can also be used as medicine, strengthening muscles and invigorating blood, dissolving phlegm and removing dampness.
It can be said to be a must-have for traveling far away and treating bruises.
Su Xiangxiang had seen a few pieces on the way out to explore.
It's a pity that Acanthopanax senticosus grew next to a steep cliff at that time, and there were many spikes, and Su Xiangxiang didn't bring any protective gear, unless it was pierced into a sieve, it couldn't be picked at all.
Let Xiubai suffer a little and help her get Acanthopanax, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness she took care of during this time, and the two do not owe each other.
Xiu Bai agreed happily.
For a meal, Su Xiangxiang did not mention going to the beach, and Xiu Bai did not mention the couple, and spent peacefully in a burst of chewing.
The next day, Su Xiangxiang and Xiubai got up early in the morning, took the animal skins that wrapped their hands and feet, and headed towards the growing place of Acanthopanax.
Before the sun was yet on and the temperature was rising, the two of them walked onto the towering cliff.
In the distance, I saw a green bush, clinging to the edge of the cliff, with palm-sized five-petal leaves layered on top of each other, full of life.
Su Xiangxiang told Xiu Bai about the collection method, so she threw the prepared animal skin to him, and without saying a word, she began to collect.
Although the bulky hides can block the barbs on the branches, it also restricts the movement of the five fingers of the hands.
Su Xiangxiang took the animal skin, and she was busy for a long time, and she didn't pick a few.
When I turned my head, I saw that the white one had already filled most of the basket of young leaves of eleuthero.
The animal skin was placed on the edge of the bamboo basket at random, and at this moment, the slender white and slender fingers flexibly picked up small green slaps, but there was no sign of being stabbed at all.
A big question mark appeared on Su Xiangxiang's head, when did Eleuthero become so soft?
She plucked the skin from her hand and carefully pinched it against a green leaf.
The stinging pain came instantly, and the red blood dripped onto the intricate spikes.
Su Xiangxiang silently withdrew her fingers.
The sweet smell of blood spread to Xiubai's snort in a moment, and he immediately put down the leaves in his hand and came over to check them worriedly.
Su Xiangxiang's slender fingers were sandwiched between the two fingers of Xiubai.
"How did you get the hides?" Xiu Bai stared at Su Xiangxiang's bleeding fingers and asked with a frown.
Su Xiangxiang waved her hand aggressively, "It's okay, it's okay, it's a little bit of skin, but it's ......" Her curious little head approached the hands of Xiu Bai's bones, "You didn't bring animal skins, why are you okay?" ”
If you look closely, you will find that Xiu Bai's fingertips are wrapped in a thick layer of calluses, making it difficult for him to bleed and hurt even if he clenches a spike.
This is the protective layer that the orcs have sharpened on all fours for many years in their transformation.
Su Xiangxiang flattened her mouth and almost turned into a lemon essence.
Xiu Bai has a strong learning ability and is extremely strong, crushing her in all aspects.
How can God be so unfair!
Xiu Bai gently wiped the blood off his little fingers, pressed Su Xiangxiang's shoulders with both hands, and irresistibly asked her to sit on a nearby boulder.
"You can rest here, I'll pick it right away."
Su Xiangxiang glanced at the progress and accepted it happily.
This is the last time she will enjoy the high-level treatment provided by the handsome guy Xiu, and there is no need to ask for hardship.
Xiu Bai turned around to pick, Su Xiangxiang was a little bored, lowered her head and squeezed her bleeding fingertips.
Suddenly, Su Xiangxiang's body stiffened, her heartbeat seemed to stand still for a moment, and her five senses fought for fate, feeling the movement nearby.
It's so quiet around!
There was not the slightest hint of insects and birds, except for the wind blowing from the bottom of the cliff.
Something is nearby!
Su Xiangxiang got up suddenly, and saw Xiubai's huge beast form swooping towards her.
At the same time, a black and yellow object swayed in the afterglow, with a fishy smell.
Su Xiangxiang subconsciously hugged her head and shrank up, and in the next second, she fell steadily into a soft embrace.
The smell of Su Xiangxiang's blood attracted the giant python under the cliff.
Xiu Bai relied on his keen five senses to detect the arrival of the crisis first, and his first reaction was to protect Su Xiangxiang.
With Xiu Bai flicking it slightly, Su Xiangxiang was thrown two meters away, rolled on the ground, and turned back in embarrassment, only then did he see clearly.
The one who came was a black and yellow python, the snake god had a thick waist, six or seven meters long, black shiny, yellow and gorgeous, and two poisonous fangs were still splashing turbid liquid in the air.
It's a giant python with a lot of venom!!
At this moment, the poisonous snake is entwined with Xiubai's beast form.
Xiu Bai's front paws stepped on the snake's body, but the python turned back and slammed at Xiu Bai, and the white wolf retreated, narrowly avoiding the sharp fangs.
Not to be outdone, the snake tail slapped towards Xiubai, and was flashed by dexterity, but the snake body took the opportunity to entangle Xiubai.
Although the poisonous snake temporarily restrained Xiu Bai, his eyes looked at Su Xiangxiang greedily, squirming his body, and moved towards her inch by inch.
Seeing this, Xiu Bai's ice-blue vertical pupils tightened into a vertical line, and suddenly the sword went sideways, kicked forward violently, stopped between the giant snake and Su Xiangxiang, and quickly bit towards the snake's neck.
At the same time that the giant snake encountered danger, Xiu Bai's back was also completely exposed to the giant snake's field of vision, and he only needed to bow his head and take a mouthful, and the deadly venom would spread all over the white wolf's body.
"Don't!"
Su Xiangxiang was shocked, and her heart seemed to be about to explode, and mixed emotions poured out.
Suddenly, I felt that a string in my body was broken, and the clear power poured into my whole body like opening a floodgate.
Su Xiangxiang quickly touched the wooden thorn on the calf, clenched it tightly in her hand, gritted her teeth, and kicked the ground with her long legs, like an arrow off the string, shooting straight towards the python's seven inches.
The giant python opened its bloody mouth, and it was sure to take down the white wolf in front of it, but suddenly it was seven inches in pain, and the whole body spasmed and struggled.
The mere human female actually pierced the scales and pierced him directly into the seven inches!!
The python rolled in pain, and the churning snake body swept towards the petite Su Xiangxiang.
Close at hand, Su Xiangxiang couldn't avoid it, her abdomen hurt fiercely, and her whole body crossed an arc in the air and fell in the direction of the cliff.
Xiu Bai immediately shook off the python, without any hesitation, and with a flying pounce, he fell into the cliff with Su Xiangxiang one after the other.
……
Su Xiangxiang slowly opened her eyes, only to feel that her body was warm and soft, like a bed of boutique Simmons, except for the dull pain in her abdomen.
The wet pink tongue licked her face all over her neck, and Su Xiangxiang came to her senses, shook her head, wiped her face, and saw clearly in front of her.
Xiu Bai curled up like an old hen like an egg, wrapping Su Xiangxiang in the middle.
The moment he fell off the cliff, Xiu Bai rushed over and buffered most of the gravity with his body.
Looking up, the bottom of the cliff was only a dozen meters high, and Xiu Bai's body was not obviously injured except for being soiled by dust.
And most of the poisonous snakes were injured and escaped, otherwise Xiubai would not have "hatched" her here for so long with peace of mind.
Su Xiangxiang put her mind at ease, got up and touched her stomach, which was slightly blue and had no obvious pain.
The python didn't use any force at that moment, and Su Xiangxiang was fine.
Xiu Bai turned into a human form, and pulled Su Xiangxiang to check it three or five times, but there was nothing wrong with his body, but seeing that Su Xiangxiang was a little confused, Xiu Bai's heart was instantly raised.
"What's wrong?" Xiu Bai asked cautiously, bent down slightly, and gently held Su Xiangxiang's round shoulders with both hands.
"Uh~ a little bit...... Too clear? ”
Su Xiangxiang couldn't accurately describe the feeling either.
The surrounding wind, birds, and insect chirping have been amplified a lot, and when I look around, I can even see the small insects on the leaves a few meters away, as if I have suddenly turned on the HD mode.
And with Su Xiangxiang's strength just now, he couldn't use a small wooden stick to penetrate the python's dense scale armor.
But after a strange burst of fever, she easily broke the thick scales as if she had punctured soft skin.
Xiu Bai was stunned, and his big hand gently covered Su Xiangxiang's chest.
A cold feeling immediately diffused from her chest to Su Xiangxiang's whole person.
Like a winter blizzard, the silence and solemn feeling controlled her whole body, as if every pore felt the presence of Xiubai, and she was in awe.
"Feel what?"
Su Xiangxiang's body stiffened slightly, and she raised her head in a daze, "It seems to be snow?" Oh no, it's you. ”
"You've got a rank, a first-order."
Xiu Bai lowered his eyes and stared at Su Xiangxiang, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise gently, sincerely happy for her.
Only people of rank can feel each other through spiritual power.
Su Xiangxiang reflected for a second, and then jumped up in surprise.
"Really?"
The surprise came so suddenly, Su Xiangxiang couldn't believe it, and her joy overflowed with bright eyebrows.
She danced happily, broke away from Xiubai's embrace, jumped three times in one step, kicked the trunk of a tree for a while, and did a somersault for a while, she was not too happy.
Su Xiangxiang made a fuss to herself for a while, and her beautiful pair of cat's eyes suddenly glanced at Xiubai, pretending to jump closer, and suddenly slammed into Xiubai's back with a high kick.
The sound of the wind approached from behind his ears, Xiu Baiwan'er, turned around lightly, reached out to catch Su Xiangxiang's flying kick steadily, and held her small ankle in the palm of his hand.
