Chapter IX: Co-optation
After walking about 100 meters on the rugged mountain road, Shen Yue found that Shen was lying on his side on the forest grass in front of him for about ten meters, his left foot was caught by the beast, and the fur on his foot had been torn due to the desperate struggle, revealing the white bones of the forest.
Shen Yue carefully identified it and determined that it was the one who went to the river to drink water yesterday. He slowly approached, and when he heard the movement, he stood up strongly, and a faint yellow light lit up around his fierce-looking body, and he roared at Shen Yue.
Shen Yue suddenly felt like he had been hit hard in his head, and his head was splitting, and he couldn't help screaming. Liu Ling gloated at this time: "This little guy didn't roar directly at you before, so you will only have a cloudy head, this time it is full of natural powers, it tastes uncomfortable, right?" ”
"I'm plugging my ears, why are I still so uncomfortable?" Shen Yue dodged to the side and pressed his temples in confusion.
"Didn't I say it, the magic power of this spirit beast is to shock the soul, and its usual roar is mostly to use the sound to accompany the shock of the soul, similar to throwing stones to ask for directions, testing whether there is danger, and it is useful to block the ears at this time. But when it really fights the enemy, it will directly use its supernatural powers to attack the soul, and it will be useless if you block your ears. But his ability to do so is not unstoppable, and it should be much lightened to stay away from it or avoid confronting it head-on. ”
Hearing this, Shen Yue hurriedly moved to the side, but after using his supernatural powers, he obviously lost his strength, and lay down on the ground again, his belly rising and falling, and he did not try to attack again. He couldn't bear to let Orion catch such a cute little beast, but it was difficult to take it away directly, and he hesitated, remembering that he had healing medicine in his backpack, so he quickly untied his backpack and took out one.
Liu Ling said: "This little guy doesn't need so much, just scrape a little bit." ”
Shen Yue was a little difficult, how could he hand it over after scraping a small point, and rush over directly? That's just masochism. He looked around, and found that there was a shallow ditch on the left side of the meadow, so he lowered his body and crawled along the shallow ditch, and he felt that the man was slowly approaching from the ditch, but he was unable to jump over to the enemy, and could only let out a low roar.
After a while, Shen Yue crawled to a place a meter or two away from it, quickly raised his head to determine the position of the pill, scraped a little from the pill and gathered it into a small ball, and quickly threw it over.
Na Yan was struggling and roaring, and suddenly saw that the human being was observing himself from the ditch, and he was even more angry, and he opened his mouth and was ready to go out and perform another magic power, and he had to vent if he couldn't fight. But as soon as he opened his mouth, the man threw a small ball and landed it in its mouth impartially. This thing melts in the mouth, it suddenly feels transparent, and after a while, the pain in the injured leg is also significantly reduced, which is very comfortable.
It was originally a spirit beast, and its spiritual intelligence was much higher than that of ordinary beasts, knowing that the person was throwing healing medicine at him, and the hostility in his heart had decreased a lot, but his vigilance still existed, and he was still staring at the ditch where Yue was.
Shen Yue probed again, and saw that it was obviously not as nervous as Fang Cai, and tentatively leaned out half of his body, although Na Yan stared at him, he did not attack.
Seeing this, Shen Yue turned out of the ditch and shook the healing pill in his hand to show that he had no malicious intent. Zhen raised his head and sniffed, quite infatuated by the smell of the pill, no longer looked at Shen Yue, and instead stared at the pill with a greedy expression.
Shen Yue couldn't help but laugh when he saw its anthropomorphic expression being funny and cute. He slowly approached, scraped some more from the pill and fed it, and while it was intoxicated, he forcefully broke the trap open.
Although the wound was involved, he understood that the man was helping, and did not try to attack, but immediately tried to stand up after enduring the pain. However, its left leg was seriously injured, and as soon as it touched the ground, it was in pain and hurriedly retracted, making it difficult to walk normally.
Liu Ling said: "This little guy has broken his muscles and bones, even if he uses the healing elixir, it will take a few days to get better." ”
Shen Yue planned to take it away with him, but he didn't know how to communicate with the little beast and asked Liu Ling if there was a way.
Liu Ling also didn't understand the language of beasts, but suggested: "This is a spirit beast, it has opened its mind, and it still has the ability to observe words and colors." Try to be nice and make it clear, and it should follow you. ”
Shen Yue patted his face when he heard this, adjusted his most amiable expression as much as possible, and leaned over to make a gesture about his meaning. Na Yan stood up, jumped with three legs and struggled, and landed directly on Shen Yue's shoulder, and then calmly lay down and licked the wound, and from time to time glanced at the healing pill, his eyes revealing the desire to eat.
Liu Ling smiled: "This guy is even smarter than I thought, it seems that he decided to follow you to take the medicine." ”
Shen Yue was also very happy, and wanted to reach out and touch its head, but was slapped away by its paws.
He knew that this product was mainly interested in his own medicine, and he didn't want to be close to him for the time being. He didn't care: feelings are cultivated slowly.
One man and one beast hit the road again, over the mountains and mountains.
After a few days of trekking, Shen Yue came to the birthplace of the mountain stream, where there was a deep pool, which was densely covered with large and small springs, blisters from time to time, and there were many strange fish without phosphorus in the water.
Liu Ling said: "This place is not only rich in wood spiritual energy, but also fills the deep pool formed by the spring water, which is also very suitable for the cultivation of wood spiritual energy. ”
When Shen Yue heard this, he built a simple hut dozens of meters away from the pond and settled down temporarily. He had spent many years in the field at an archaeological site before he crossed over, and knew that if he wanted to stay in one place for a long time, he had to solve the problems of food, water and salt. The food is easy to solve, the ready-made fat fish in the pond, and the edible wild vegetables in the forest, so that Liu Ling can distinguish it and pick and eat, and the water is endless, only salt is difficult to find.
Just as he was worried, the vultures limped away, and it didn't take long for him to bring back a piece of rock salt, which surprised Shen Yue very much. Later, under its guidance, he found a rock wall, the surface of the rock wall was covered with precipitated salt, Shen Yue happily scraped a lot, and later found that some salt could be precipitated every few days, so he took it and used it as he pleased.
After settling down, he focused on cultivation every day, and on the fifth day, he sensed the spiritual energy that flashed green light entering his body, and the cultivation of the wood spiritual energy was considered an entry. It was quite intoxicating, and it made him work harder to cultivate.
Whenever it is difficult to meditate, Shen Yue often wanders around, the deep spring valley here, the forest is flourishing, which makes people feel refreshed, and it is rare to see such a beautiful and natural scenery in the previous life.
Under the guidance of Liu Ling, Shen Yue, who was diligent in practice, gradually found that the spiritual energy of the wood in the dantian was becoming more and more abundant, and it should not be far from building the foundation. Under Shen Yue's careful care, the one had already recovered, and he was no longer vigilant, and the relationship became more and more intimate, Shen Yue used its beast name homonym to give the name "Xiao Huan", at first it was a little ignorant, and after calling it a few times, it got used to it.
Shen Yue found that Xiao Huan's roar could be controlled at will, and not every sound would interfere with the divine soul, and sometimes it would simply hum like a beast. In addition to helping Shen Yue find salt, it will also take the initiative to scare away the beasts that come to Tan's side, although it is young and cute, but after all, it is a spirit beast with natural powers, and it is quite handy with those beasts, and it always scares the other party and flees. Although Xiao Huan is haunted every day and often runs out for a long time, he always returns to the hut sooner or later, which makes Shen Yue very pleased.
Shen Yue caught a fish for the first time with a sharpened wooden thorn that day, and since then, like a divine help, he has become more and more handy at catching fish. After N failed attempts, he drilled wood to make a fire, and after that, he often grilled fish to eat, although he did not find a decent ingredient for the time being, but the fish itself was tender and delicious, and after sprinkling salt, it became delicious.
Xiao Huan loves to eat very much, her appetite is surprisingly big, and she often eats three or four pieces, Shen Yue wonders very much where this little body keeps what he eats.
Xiao Huan sometimes caught some birds and beasts from outside, and still asked Shen Yue to roast it, but Shen Yue's barbecue skills gradually became quite proficient under the supervision of this little beast.
