Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Second Plant
The snakes in the rainforest are not all aware of the benefits of the blood orchid, and the wiser ones choose to live in the waterhole, relying on the diluted slurry in the waterhole to grow, and become much stronger than their peers. The more strong snakes there are, the more they attract other snakes to come here every spring to breed.
Although Ye Guangji blocked the entrance and exit of the hole, he would also stretch out the snake's head from time to time to lick the slurry of the blood orchid. It was only after this time that the snakes came out of the cave to hunt, and the food in his inventory was long since exhausted due to his huge appetite.
He burrowed into the waterhole and moistened his skin, and when he came out of the water, the dark green protective color became full and oily. The coiled snake body stretched out as it went out, and its terrifying body length of nearly twenty meters was several meters longer than the longest python found in the outside world.
Creeping through the woodland and shedding a layer of snake skin is as ordinary to him as eating and drinking, and he doesn't know how many times he has experienced it, in short, snakes have to molt every time they grow up. The Qi Eating Method has formed the instinct of the body, which helps him become stronger all the time. The progress has already surpassed his human body, and I believe that after returning from this experience, the cultivation of the Qi Consumption Method will be able to go further.
He doesn't like small animals now, and there is not much difference between eating and not eating. His luck was good, and not far from the door, there was a horned eagle staring at him in the tree, the other party was the second largest eagle in the world of the Harpy Eagle, more than one meter high, with a wingspan of two meters, a round head, and a very human-like appearance.
How to say that it is more than 20 catties of meat, how can it be spared. Ye Guangji bounced the snake's head and bit half of the eagle's body, swallowing it in the other party's struggle. He could clearly feel the harpy eagle struggling in the snake's belly, contracting the muscles in his abdomen and strangling it.
Ye Guangji has fireball skills, so he naturally tried to cook his prey. But he found that the taste of raw and cooked food was not much different to him, and he couldn't keep the taste at all when he swallowed it. Moreover, his mouth is very intolerant of burns, and it is very inconvenient for cooked food to be thoroughly cooled before eating.
Then he hunted a huge otter of nearly two meters, a black caiman crocodile that was four or five meters thick as a bucket, a giant python that was a little smaller than him, and so on. If you can't eat it, you can store it in your inventory for later use, and all the herbs you encounter on the road will be in your pocket.
Time was spent so boringly, five springs passed in a flash, and he had been guarding the blood orchid. With the assistance of the Blood Orchid, his Grain Qi Eating Method had already reached the second stage in six years, five times less than the thirty years recorded in the classics.
Ye Guangji is the king of this small woodland! With a body as thick as a water tank at more than forty meters, a strength beyond the same as a python, steely muscles, and the developed tail ability, he has no natural enemies here.
His snake body has broken through the boundaries of race, the range that snake pupils can see when they are still color blind has increased to ten meters, and the perception range of snake hyacinth has expanded to an exaggerated degree. His innate talent for concealment has been improved to the point where he can completely hide his aura when he hunts, and there have been cases where his killing intent has unconsciously leaked away his prey, but now this will not happen at all.
In the second stage, he reached the realm of being able to eat 'rice', and the so-called "rice" was not the blood food he usually ate, but medicine and special energy between heaven and earth. He had gained a lot of medicinal materials, but he didn't have the materials needed for the secret medicine. After many attempts, he found that the moonlight at night, that is, the moonlight at night, was the best for the improvement of the snake's body.
He often straightens up at night, raises his head and opens his mouth wide. Swallowing saliva is like eating, and the effect is much better than simply opening the mouth to inhale. Yuehua also has a slight effect on the side effects of suppressing the blood orchid, and cruel thoughts can be suppressed by the cold moonlight.
"Si~Ha~"
Ye Guangji drove away the snakes near the waterhole, and today he was going to do a big thing. That is to dig up the Blood Orchid and store it in the inventory to take away. The reason why he did this was when he went out to avoid the breeding season in the spring, and he sensed the smell of blood orchids from a large poisonous snake.
Although the breeding season is over, the speed of the snakes is not enough to reach such a far place. The smell of the blood orchid on that poisonous snake means that there is more than this blood orchid in this dense rainforest. The side effects of the blood orchid and the snake's brain prevented him from thinking about these things.
Since you find it, you have to make up for it immediately, and the failure of the main quest represents the failure of the Raiders fantasy world. What Ye Guangji does here will be useless, and the good things he has harvested will be spit out. Although the main quest is not punished, it is not what he wants to work in vain, how can there be a reason to spit out the meat that he eats in his mouth.
Ye Guangji hung the dog training bell with a snake's mouth and summoned three hunting dogs. The idea of holding a dog training bell between his tail had been abandoned by him, and after exercising, he found that it was really condescending to use his tail to pick up things, and it was the best way to use it as an attack. The strong snake tail can smash an entire boulder in one fell swoop.
Although he is now in the form of a snake, he is connected to the dog trainer, and the natural hound also uses him as his master. He used his mind to control the hounds to carefully excavate the stone wall. He hasn't studied the specific growth conditions of the blood orchid yet, but the inventory has the function of a static state, and the blood orchid will not die if it is put in, so complete the task first and then study it.
This large clump of blood orchids grows on a main stem, and the stalk is close to the presence of aerial roots. The root system is denser than that of ginseng, and the roots grow downward and are inserted into the pond by wrapping around the stones.
The three hounds began to throw the rocks with their paws, and in the case of the blood orchid, the effect was not ideal, and the dog's paws were painful and the tips of the claws were smoothed.
"Forget it, go back! Hey, you still have to do it yourself. ”
Retracting the hound and the dog training bell, Ye Guangji took the kitchen knife that became sharper and sharper, dug down all the blood orchids and the area where they were growing, and put them in the inventory together. Before leaving, it was also proposed to dive to the bottom of the pool to collect silt, soil, pool water, and other things that could affect the growth of the blood orchid.
"Whew! It's finally over. Hahaha, I'm really smart. ”
Ye Guangji's snake tail wiped the sweat that didn't exist on the snake's head, and let out a long breath. He began to plan to preserve the roots and clear the soil like he did with ginseng. Later, I found that it was completely redundant, and it was not useful for the whole plant, but only the stamen secretions, and it was convenient to pack them all and take them away.
Taking a final look at the residence where he had lived for nearly seven years, Ye Guangji set off in the direction where the poisonous snake was found without looking back. Entering that area, because the breeding time had passed for too long, the aura of the blood orchid on the snake's body dissipated, which was not conducive to his search for the blood orchid.
Ye Guangji can wander back and forth in this rainforest, and he has determined that he will always find it in this range. He couldn't find it for a year, and when it was the breeding season, he would follow the other snakes and get the results he wanted.
But he had a better way, pythons like him who had qi eating methods needed to eat, and even more so those snakes that broke the racial boundaries because of the blood orchid. It will inevitably be necessary to go out hunting, and he only needs to wait in a place where there is large prey.
What he wanted was the word 'fast', the rainforest was so vast, and the rare blood orchid had become relatively common in such a large area. Once he's harvested this one, he's about to start looking for clues to the next one.
Ye Guangji came to the nearby river where crocodiles lived, crocodiles seemed dangerous and terrifying, and they were indeed the best prey for pythons. Fixed in the river appears to be easy to find, and its trick Death Roll is useless against pythons, and the crocodile's mouth can drown in the water after a while.
He swam back and forth in the river, and in less than a month he came across a snake that would break through the racial limit. Watching the venomous snake hunt nearby, it first caught some fish to cushion its stomach, and then sneaked into the crocodile's body with its fangs, and with the injection of venom, the crocodile's death rolled more and more weakly, and finally did not escape the fate of being buried in the snake's mouth.
The whole body of the venomous snake was propped up by the crocodile, and it crawled to a hidden position in a bulging position, digesting the food in its belly. Ye Guangji was not in a hurry at all, this was all necessary to wait. The poisonous snake spits out the digested prey during digestion for several days and swallows it repeatedly. This behavior is rare and is generally only done by pythons.
Ye Guangji followed the poisonous snake to a valley, and the blood orchid was on the stone wall deep in the valley. Most of the snakes in this valley are poisonous snakes, which is a lot of trouble for him, the boundary between race is flesh and lifespan, and the venom glands of poisonous snakes are naturally contained in the flesh. It is very likely that a venomous snake will evolve a deadly toxin, and with his powerful snake body, he may not be able to carry it.
He lay on his stomach above the valley of the blood orchid, took out the anesthetic gas ether that he had prepared in advance, and threw the entire glass jar down. After a few minutes for the ether to evaporate, Ye Guangji sneaked down with bated breath. Snakes that faint along the way and throw them all into the inventory. There are many snakes with grades, and the grades are not high or the numbers are large.
Ye Guangji caught a lot of snakes that could reach the eyes in the waterhole, and the snakes in this valley were generally higher in grade than the snakes in the waterhole. This is because snake venom is the most important type of snake material, and the name liquid gold is not called for nothing.
The blood orchid was even more lush than the one he had obtained, and the number of flowers could tell from the number of flowers that the red petals were delicate and wanted to drip blood.
"The purpose of plant flowering is to reproduce, but why does the blood orchid keep blooming? I don't understand, let's imagine how to find the next one! Haha, so many purple-level items, developed! ”
Another blood orchid was in the bag, and Ye Guangji was naturally full of joy. Not to mention the amazing effect of the blood orchid, it is enough to sell it to the system mall to increase his strength fiercely.
The area of 7 million square kilometers of rainforest is as many as seven trees in a million miles. This trip to the fantasy world will have an additional harvest of millions of soul coins, which is rare in the second-order fantasy world. Of course, the specific situation is still based on reality.
