"By the way, due to the difference in the deep space environment, some plant seeds may have abnormal changes."

On the other side of the jungle, Hal suddenly said something.

Space breeding, a very common topic.

On the other side of the earth, as early as the sixties of the last century, Aramco and S-United conducted a series of space breeding experiments.

One of the most famous of these experiments is NASA's "Moon Tree" program, in which hundreds of plant seeds were brought into lunar orbit and almost all of them germinated after returning to Earth, and these trees were later planted in Aramco and around the world.

"What is described in the "Interstellar Encyclopedia" is just the norm of these plants." Hal casually plucked a dark blue wind chime, "For example, this kind of Fengling, the fluorescence traits of ordinary plants are actually very ordinary, and the Fengling that grows on this planet, the brightness of fluorescence at night is far beyond normal. ”

"So, robots, are you saying those dangerous plants mutate too?" Chang Rufeng asked.

"Yes, natives." Hal replied nonchalantly, "During my tour of the area, I found many mutant plants, which were more threatening and deadly than normal plants. ”

As Hal spoke, the group descended deeper into the core of the forest.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in a relatively flat area, they saw the kind of mutant plant that Hal had spoken of.

The Death Trap, the tree that was supposed to grow in the swamp, appeared where it shouldn't, and grew in a large area, flourishing and lush.

The ground is covered with fallen leaves and dead branches, and the surroundings are quiet and peaceful, but from the outside, there is no danger in this area.

"Whew-"

Su Xia activated the mecha's own blowing system, and two black holes immediately appeared on the left and right metal arms, and a fierce strong wind blew up fallen leaves all over the ground.

The broken leaves flew and were lifted layer by layer, revealing the appearance of the bottom.

This was followed by a rotten smell of humus, which could not be blown away by strong winds, mixed with a disgusting stench.

What appeared in front of several people was more than a dozen deep pits of different sizes.

Standing next to the pit, turn on the flashlight, and look down, the pit is uneven on both sides, and the bottom is full of scalp-numbing animal bones.

"So many dead?"

"This is the mutation I just mentioned." Hal says it's just one of the traits that have been mutated, and there are some things that are even more terrifying.

In general, the chances of ordinary people walking into this forest and coming out are almost zero.

Thankfully, there were no signs of the Dragon City team in these pits.

"Will the other rescue teams encounter these things?" Sun Lang couldn't help but think, "They don't have an antidote, and they don't have anyone to lead the way, in case they are also trapped inside, wouldn't they have to send more people to rescue them?" ”

Like Su Xia's original thoughts, if he didn't solve this matter quickly, sooner or later he would become a gourd baby to save his grandfather.

They picked up speed, led by Howl, with few pauses along the way.

In the jungle of Notda, the concept of time is easily forgotten.

Unconsciously, the sun overhead once again slanted to the west, rapidly sinking below the horizon, and the already gloomy jungle became invisible, and the mecha became the largest source of light.

In the deep darkness of the surroundings, the fluorescent blue wind chimes swayed gently, and death and beauty coexisted.

The time came to eight o'clock in the evening.

Under a large tree, several people found the mark left by the Dragon City team.

The inverted triangle-shaped dragon scale symbols are engraved with symbols that mean "trapped", "seriously injured", "no one dies", "urgent need for rescue", and "food and medical supplies are temporarily sufficient".

No one died, which is good news.

"Luckily, they're all alive, as long as we find them, this trip will be the perfect rescue!" Sun Lang said with a smile.

"It's not luck, it's the strength of the commander."

Chang Rufeng glanced at him and corrected him.

Hearing the "luck" they had been talking about, Su Xia's heart moved, and suddenly remembered something.

The last time he was in Fish Scale City, he did the task of the sugar and water industry, and because he smashed the two major families, he got an additional task reward - two lucky draws.

He had planned to wait for a lucky day before holding the lottery.

It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and today's luck is really good.

The group of three continued to move forward, looking for traces of the Dragon City team.

Su Xia was distracted, opened the system menu bar, found the task column, and saw the glittering words [Lottery].

Click on it and you'll get a big virtual turntable.

Underneath the big wheel, there are various possible prizes written.

For example, special collectibles, famous paintings, antiques, psionic weapons, special bombs, potion materials, potion recipes, skill books, experience books, etc., some are valuable, while others are of little value.

"Hoo ......"

Su Xia stared at the big turntable, took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mood, calmed himself down, and asked Ou Shen to come on by the way.

Then, he stretched out his finger and lightly clicked [Start Draw].

The next moment, the big virtual turntable in front of him spun wildly, and the prizes flashed quickly, some of them were shining with gold, and some were dull in color.

After about half a minute, the speed of the turntable began to slow down.

The pointer skipped between the boxes with the prizes written, and the speed became slower and slower, and under Su Xia's slightly nervous gaze, it slowly turned to the top of the "Star Battleship Five-Yuan Voucher".

Seeing that description, Su Xia's eyes widened, and she almost suffocated.

Fortunately, perhaps because he felt Su Xia's emotions, the turntable jumped lightly again.

The box where the hands point is written "Crown of the Sixth Empire".

The remaining draws are reduced by one, and a solid black crown is added to the prize column.

[Name: Crown of the Sixth Empire]

[Type: Special Item]

[Level: Unranked Item]

[Description: The Sixth Empire, a huge empire that once spanned countless star fields, stood for tens of thousands of years, dominated thousands of interstellar civilizations at its peak, and there were more warships and transports to and from the empire's territory every day than water droplets in the sea, this name symbolizes brilliance and eternity]

[In the heyday of the Empire, even the miners in the poorest sector of the Empire would involuntarily puff up their chests when they thought of the Empire's strength and wealth]

[A thousand years ago, a huge empire collapsed]

[The Imperial Crown, the Scepter, and the Monarch's Orb, symbols of supreme power, are missing]

[Note: If you sell this crown to some interstellar collectors, you will get an unimaginably large amount of wealth, and the mountain of wealth is enough for you to buy a civilized planet and become the king of that planet]

[Note: Please do not expose this crown in public]

Just by looking at the description, Su Xia understood that this was a very dangerous thing.

It is estimated that no one on this planet knows the crown.

But once you enter the interstellar space, holding this thing is the same as holding the jade seal of the previous dynasty in ancient times, and you will be beheaded if you are found to be killed.

This thing can't provide Su Xia with combat power, it only has a symbolic meaning, and it doesn't seem to be useful.

But the system annotation pointed out a clear path for Su Xia -

Find an intergalactic collector.

When the time comes, the huge wealth he gets may allow him to buy this planet directly.

The lord of a kingdom is called a king, so what is the lord of the planet called?

The king of the ball?

Wrong......

According to Hal, the planet is located on the edge of the remote Verne star field, has not been explored, and does not belong to any faction.

Even if you want to buy it, you can't find someone to sell it.

"Forget it."

Su Xia shook his head, now he can't travel in the starry sky, and even a mechanical clan gives him a headache, these are all afterthoughts, and it's useless to think more.

It's not fantasy time, it's time for struggle.

His gaze returned to the lottery wheel, took another deep breath, and clicked [Start Lottery].

The wheel spun wildly again, and the prizes flashed past them, and finally came to a slow stop.

This time, he finally drew something that would be useful to Su Xia at this stage.

The square that the pointer pointed to was written with the words "Portable Sixth-Order Psionic Cannon".

The draw ends and the remaining number drops to zero.

In the prize column, there is an icon in the shape of a black tube.

Su Xia immediately clicked on it to view the details.

[Name: Portable Sixth-Order Psionic Cannon]

[Type: Active Weapon]

[Level: Level 6]

[Description: Yes, it is a product of the Eurolock company, and it has been widely praised as soon as it was launched]

[The emergence of this weapon has made up for the vacancy of individual weapons in the Seventh Empire in this regard, and has many advantages such as lightness, simple operation, easy to carry, and excellent fire control, and its appearance is very similar to the traditional individual rocket launcher]

[Note: The psionic cannon comes with a box of twenty-four shells, and it is used and cherished]

Individual weapons, these four words are very satisfying.

Susha can be used on her own.

He couldn't help but think that on the other side of the earth, a few decades ago, in order to pursue large firepower, all countries had to build bigger and bigger weapons, the most famous is the Gustav cannon of the German III during World War II.

Weighing 1,000 tons and more than four stories high, the cannon is a steel beast, vividly illustrating what caliber and justice are.

The operation, command, defense, movement, and so on of this giant cannon require the cooperation of thousands of soldiers.

If it was lost to Su Xia, even if he was born with divine power, he would not be able to move it even a bit.

Dezo created this terrifying weapon to deal with the Maginot Line in France next door.

But before the cannon could be built, the great France surrendered.

Later, in the Battle of Sevastopol against the S United, Gustav's cannon played a huge role, piercing through the 10-meter-thick concrete layer and 20-meter-thick soil layer of the fortress's ammunition depot, triggering a massive explosion of the ammunition depot, which shocked the world.

"Captain, ahead is the area of the 'Song of Death' plant." While Su Xia was observing the psionic cannon, Hal in front of him suddenly spoke, "Maybe you should wear earmuffs." ”

"Hmm."

In the wild, earmuffs can affect hearing, reducing auditory perception, but they have to.

Su Xia activated the active skill "Illusory Eye", and the world in front of her suddenly changed.

In the foreground, many small grasses resembling leeks gently swaying, and these small grasses grow in clusters, mostly at the roots of large trees.

Su Xia blinked and said, "It's similar to what is described in the "Interstellar Encyclopedia", I have encountered it before. ”

Sun Lang was surprised: "Commander, can you actually see it?" Isn't it pitch black ahead? ”

"Well, I was born with good eyesight."

Su Xia didn't explain, and casually thought of a reason to perfunctory the past.

After evolving, the Void Eye has helped him a lot, and he has more abilities than perspective.

When the matter of this forest is over, Su Xia will immediately go to the joint camp to find Shi Si Shi, and use the "manifest" ability of the Void Eye to find out those three players.

Of course, if it was a coincidence, maybe he would meet that old guy Shi Sishi in this jungle.

"Hopefully, it's still too late."

Su Xia thought of those three players, and for some reason, she felt a little more uneasy in her heart.

……

Meanwhile, Coral City.

Su Xia's clone had returned to the pharmacy and continued to try the refining of fourth-order potions.

At night, the city is a little less noisy, the street lights outside the window are dim, and a few wild cats and stray dogs are chasing on the road, and it seems that it should be a peaceful day.

Ever since the masked monsters disappeared, Coral City has become more and more peaceful with each passing day.

Everything is back on track.

On both sides of this old street, many shops have improved their business, and there are fewer soldiers patrolling the streets.

In the pharmacy, Dad was still sitting behind the counter reading the newspaper as he used to, with a steaming cup of coffee beside him.

He no longer forced a few apprentices to strengthen their training, after all, Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu were already fourth-order pharmacists, and they were masters wherever they went, and Su Xia was also about to go.

Last time, the sudden devil training seemed to be just a whim of him.

In the past few days, Dad Xu has been idle, and it is very rare to take the initiative to instruct a few apprentices, teach them the precautions for refining the fourth-order elixir, teach them in detail, and patiently answer every question.

In the past, he would directly throw out a few books and materials written by himself, so that the apprentices could understand it by themselves, and don't bother him if there is no big problem.

Hong Bafu has been sighing:

"I've been an apprentice for so long, and only these few days have I enjoyed the real apprenticeship treatment."

The talents of the two of them are indeed strong, just through those books and materials, combined with their own analysis and a large number of attempts, they can reach the level of fourth-order pharmacists.

They fiddled with the potions in their hands, and from time to time they peeked at the wall clock on the wall, waiting for the door to close at ten o'clock at night, as if they were waiting for the end of the day.

The hour hand of the wall clock rotates a little bit.

Soon, nine o'clock arrived, and there was still an hour before closing.

Dad suddenly raised his head, slowly put down the newspaper in his hand, a glimmer of light flashed in his old eyes, looking at the north of the city, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Eight Beatitudes, two Beatitudes, and Su Xia, come over for a while." Daddy lifted his glasses, and rarely took the initiative to call his apprentice like this.

"Come on!"

Hong Bafu directly threw away the potion that was halfway through, so flexible that he didn't look like a fat man, jumped over the two glass counters, jumped in front of his father, and then sat down like a good baby.

Su Xia and Lan Bafu arrived and sat in front of their father, waiting for him to speak.

Dad looked at the appearance of the three of them, with a satisfied look in his eyes, a relieved smile appeared on the old man's face, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, you have grown up very quickly, and you can all go out and take charge of yourself." ”

"Why, it's still early." Hong Bafu smiled, "Teacher, I haven't even learned your success, let alone being alone, half of it can't be stopped." ”

"Don't be poor!"

"Oh......"

Hong Bafu shrunk his neck and looked away.

Looking at his appearance, the father sighed with emotion, and his voice was old: "This road is indeed very long, study hard, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't forget your heart." ”

"Teacher, we understand!"

"It's good to understand." Dad touched Hong Bafu's head, "You have a good talent, but you are too playful, you want to get rid of this problem, you know?" ”

"Got it."

Hong Bafu looked respectful, his voice was sincere, and he nodded again and again.

Dad looked at Lan Bafu again and sighed: "Your talent is actually no worse than the two of them, but you can't let go of your hands and feet, you are bound to do things, you are a submissive person, you draw the ground as a prison, and your thinking is confined to a small place, so the breakthrough will always be a step slower." ”

"Yes...... Be...... I understand, teacher......"

Lan Bafu's voice trembled slightly, and he didn't know what he thought, but tears appeared in his eyes.

Hong Bafu turned his head and looked at this junior brother strangely, with a puzzled expression.

Wasn't it just a couple of words from the teacher, why is this guy crying?
