Chapter 675: Three-Headed Strange Bird
Xiao Ye originally thought that the medicine garden was just an ordinary medicine garden, but he didn't expect that after entering it, he realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.
After finding the person in charge of the medicine garden, Xiao Ye asked for a silver coin and handed it to the little girl.
"I can't find this!" The little girl looked at the silver coin in her hand and was a little confused.
The exchange ratio of copper coins to silver coins was 1:1000, and after living for so long, it was the first time she had touched something as rare as silver coins.
"No need to look for it." Xiao Ye waved his hand.
"Don't look for it?" Not only the little girl was stunned, but even the person in charge on the side was stunned.
Big brother, this is my money!
It's not your money, you don't feel heartache, my heart hurts!
Even if you're an elder, you can't do that!
At the moment, Xiao Ye's gaze became a little weird.
Xiao Ye explained: "I see that you are very familiar with this place, I may go out in the future, and then look for you again, these should be paid to you in advance."
"I see." The little girl was obviously relieved, she thought that Xiao Ye had other ideas.
To be honest, she was quite reluctant to take this silver coin, but she knew how much she should take, and she didn't want to take more, but if she was paid in advance, it was not impossible.
"But it's so big, how do I know when you'll need me?" The little girl asked.
"You don't have to worry about that." Xiao Ye condensed a sword intent seed and slapped it into her body: "When I need to call you, I will come to you through it, and I will tell you where to find me when the time comes."
"This thing won't have any effect on me, will it?" The little girl said a little nervously.
"No, it won't." Xiao Ye shook his head.
"Not only will it not, but this thing will protect you when you're in danger." The person in charge on the side said with envy on his face.
This kind of method of condensing the seed of sword intent out of thin air is not something that ordinary people can do, and several sword elders of the Xuan family do not seem to have this method.
Xiao Ye's hand directly suppressed him, before he thought that Xiao Ye was the descendant of an elder, or that he had some relationship to come here, but now it seems that people are really real kung fu, real power!
"Didn't you say this is a medicine garden? Why don't I see anything?" After the little girl left, Xiao Ye looked at the person in charge suspiciously.
"Don't you know?" The person in charge also looked at Xiao Ye suspiciously.
Xiao Ye shook his head.
The person in charge frowned, "Didn't Elder Li tell you?"
Xiao Ye shook his head again.
In fact, Li was going to explain the situation in the medicine garden to Xiao Ye, but Xiao Ye didn't give him this opportunity, he thought that Xiao Ye would stay in the Xuan family for a while, and then come to the medicine garden, so he planned to introduce the situation to Xiao Ye in a few days, who knew that Xiao Ye couldn't sit still at all, and came over directly the next day.
That's what led to this happening.
"Since Elder Li didn't tell you, I'll introduce you now." Although the person in charge thought it was a little strange, he didn't think much of it.
He also had no doubts about Xiao Ye's identity, although the other party's age was a little too young.
"The so-called medicine garden is actually not here, this is just an entrance, the real medicine garden needs to be reached through the teleportation array, and the guards outside the gate are also to prevent someone from coming to destroy the teleportation array." The person in charge explained.
"I see." Xiao Ye nodded, and suddenly realized, "I wondered, this is obviously a medicine garden, why haven't I even seen a little medicinal herb, it turns out that this is the case."
The person in charge smiled and said, "This is actually not a secret to many people, and there are similar places in almost every family."
"By the way, Elder Li asked me to take charge of things here, I don't know what I need to do?" Xiao Ye asked.
"Actually, I usually do
There is nothing to do, the picking, transportation, and preservation of medicinal herbs are all done by the people involved," the person in charge said.
Xiao Ye was stunned, his face was a little strange: "Do you mean that I don't need to do anything?"
"Not really." The person in charge shook his head and said, "In fact, every elder who comes to serve in the medicine garden is mainly responsible for the safety of the medicine garden."
"Safety?" Xiao Ye was a little puzzled: "Could it be that people from other families will come and make trouble?"
"Of course not." The person in charge spoke: "There is an agreement between each big family, they naturally will not do this kind of thing, and we are mainly guarding against demon beasts."
"Monsters?"
"That's right. In the small world where the medicine garden is located, some demon beasts will pop up from time to time, and they will often come to the medicine garden to wreak havoc, and even come to steal herbs, elder, your main task is to clean them up, or stop them, don't let them destroy the medicine garden." Responsible for humanism.
"Understood." Xiao Ye nodded.
The person in charge smiled and said, "Elder, you don't have to worry, in fact, these demon beasts are very weak, the position of the medicine garden can be regarded as dispensable in a sense, there has been no one here to manage it for several months, but it's not like nothing has happened."
"We can deal with those weak demon beasts with our efforts, and only when we encounter the kind of demon beasts that we can't solve will we let you take action, Elder."
Hearing him say this, Xiao Ye understood the "importance" of this position, this position should be a sweet spot for other elders, after all, it doesn't take much effort, and it is not so troublesome.
The Xuan family should be afraid that Xiao Ye would not be idle, and he would be discovered by Wang and his people when he went out for a walk, so he got such a position, after all, the small world where the medicine garden is located is not here, and if Xiao Ye only needs to stay inside, the possibility of being discovered is almost zero.
Although there are some suspicions of restricting Xiao Ye, it can also be seen that the Xuan family attaches great importance to him.
However, Xiao Ye didn't care much about this, his purpose was also to find a place to recuperate with peace of mind, as for where it was, it didn't matter much.
"Let's go in and have a look." After pondering, Xiao Ye nodded.
Under the leadership of the person in charge, Xiao Ye and he came to a teleportation array, and Xiao Ye was not surprised that there was a teleportation array in this world.
I came here from Xuanyuan's house before through the teleportation array, otherwise the capital city is so big, and if I want to reach Xuanyuan's area from Xuanyuan's area, I don't know how long it will take.
However, teleportation arrays are rare, so they are only used for this kind of long-distance teleportation.
The two entered the medicine garden through the portal.
In an instant, Xiao Ye smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, and felt a burst of relaxation in his mind.
Looking around, he saw a wide medicinal field appearing in front of his eyes, and there were all kinds of herbs planted in the day after tomorrow, each of which had a separate area.
"This medicine garden should be innate, right?" Xiao Ye observed for a while, and said with some uncertainty.
"You're right." The person in charge exclaimed: "That's right, when we found this place, it was already a natural medicine garden, but there were a lot of weeds, so we cleaned up the weeds and completely turned it into a medicine garden."
"I knew that this kind of unique place was very difficult to cultivate." Xiao Ye sighed.
"Hey, how did that guy get here?" Suddenly, the face of the person in charge changed.
Xiao Ye followed his gaze and saw that in a herb bush in the distance, there was a big colorful bird lying there, because it was covered by herbs, so it was not clear to see its full picture.
"What's that?" Xiao Ye asked the person in charge in a low voice.
"I don't know." The person in charge smiled wryly and said, "This guy will appear every once in a while, and it seems that he uses this place as a back garden, and every time he comes to eat a bunch of herbs, he disappears."
"Didn't you chase it away or kill it?" Xiao Ye felt a little strange.
The person in charge was a little embarrassed on his face: "It's not that there isn't any, but we can't do anything about it, its speed is too fast, we can't catch up with it at all, every time we chase it, it will turn the entire medicine garden upside down, and the herbs it harms every time it comes are not much, compared to the loss of catching it, it is not worth mentioning at all, so over time we acquiesce to it here."
"So powerful?" Xiao Ye came with a hint of interest.
"That's right, let's go out first, this guy hates people disturbing him the most when he eats, and it's even more troublesome for him to make a fuss later." The person in charge said depressedly.
Because he didn't understand the situation, although he was a little interested in the big bird, Xiao Ye didn't act rashly, nodded, and the two were about to return the same way, but suddenly heard a strange cry from the depths of the medicine garden.
"Quack!"
The sound is like that of a duck, but there are some differences, how ugly and ugly it is.
"What's that cry?" Xiao Ye looked at the person in charge suspiciously.
The person in charge didn't speak, just shook his head, looking at his appearance, he shouldn't know what it was.
"This kind of cry hasn't been heard before." He explained in a low voice.
The big colorful bird seemed to hear this call too, and after swallowing a few herbs like a date, it flapped its wings and quickly left the medicine garden.
It flew up Xiao Ye only to see its appearance clearly, a bit like the legendary peacock, but it didn't feel like it.
"It seems to be scared of the thing that screams." The person in charge frowned and said, "Usually, it won't leave if it's not full, looking at its appearance, it's obviously not full, but now it's running away, and it looks like it's scared away."
"I think so, too." Xiao Ye nodded, "Let's hide first and see what the thing that screamed is."
The two of them hid their figures, and soon saw a three-headed strange bird, slowly appearing in the medicine garden.
The three-headed strange bird had fiery red feathers, burning like flames, and the three heads made a quacking sound or two from time to time as it walked.
After the strange bird walked into the medicine garden, it took a slow walk in the garden, and every few steps it beaked in the herbs, and the herbs in its beak suddenly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Obviously, the herbal essence inside has been thoroughly absorbed by it.
After the person in charge saw clearly what the strange bird was doing, he almost couldn't help but rush out directly, but fortunately, Xiao Ye quickly grabbed him.
"Don't be impulsive, we don't know its strength for the time being." Xiao Ye said in a low voice.
"Do you just want to watch it destroy the source of medicine?" The person in charge looked a little ugly.
"Looking at it again, I always feel that its purpose is not so simple." Xiao Ye said.
The two continued to watch.
The purpose of the strange bird doesn't seem to be the herbs, but more like looking for something in the herb bushes.
Soon Xiao Ye knew what it was looking for.
I saw that when it walked to a certain herb, the beak suddenly became ten times longer, and pierced directly into the depths of the ground, and when his beak was withdrawn again, there was already something hanging on it.
It was a strange-looking bug, with a body the size of a fist, swarthy, and a segmented body that looked like a knotted bug.
With Xiao Ye's eyesight, he could clearly see all the details of the insect's body.
The three-headed monster screamed, swallowed the insect directly and chewed it, and didn't know what it tasted like.
"Quack!"
"Quack!"
The other two heads, having eaten nothing, screamed at once, one spewing flames, and the other spewed out ice, and blasted towards the middle head.
Who knew that the head in the middle had a big mouth and swallowed all the ice and flames into its mouth, and not only that, but it also burped with satisfaction and looked at the other two heads with disdain.
"This." Xiao Ye and the person in charge were dumbfounded.
"Are you sure you've never seen anything like this before?" Xiao Ye asked in a low voice.
"No, it's the first time we've seen each other in so many years." The person in charge shook his head suspiciously.
While the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard the three-headed strange bird let out that ugly cry again, and it ran forward.
Xiao Ye and the others hurriedly looked over, but what they saw made them slightly surprised.
